Chapter 5 The Endless Staircase
but……
The adjutant's eyes suddenly fell on the guard's bodies everywhere, and a glimmer of hope quietly emerged.
"These are members of the Fifth Guard who are directly assigned to the Control Center. Most of the abnormal items in their jurisdiction are at the security level. Even if they may encounter the Chaos Apostles, they are definitely much safer than the established route. Moreover, since they can come here, it means that the hidden dangers along the way have been greatly reduced. As long as we obtain the access control of the Fifth Guard, we can safely arrive at the Control Center!"
Each guard is responsible for guarding different areas, and access control cannot be shared.
The adjutant of the guard determined that his judgment would not be wrong, but the problem was that the body of the fifth guard was not present. He followed the remaining traces of fighting on the ground and finally looked at the damaged door that was abnormally contained, with a strange luster in his pupils: "It seems that the opponent of the fifth guard is particularly strong, otherwise he would not have chosen to rashly break into the realm of [Endless Stairs]!"
Endless Stairs - is an unusual name in front of everyone.
"The endless stairs are very dangerous. If I break into the deep layer, maybe I will go without going back. Do you just give up like that? What if the fifth guard has not gone too far!" The adjutant of the guard was very unwilling, "No, I have to find someone to try it. Anyway, it will take time to delay the pursuers behind."
After making up his mind, the adjutant of the guard immediately looked at the five players. With the provisions of the employee manual, he could completely let his subordinates avoid risks. In this situation where he needed to die, he was of course willing to send players who were just temporary members of the foundation to appear.
The mission is here!
Seeing this, Yu Jin and others felt a stern. Everyone knew that if they were selected, they would risk their lives. It would be fine if the fifth guard was alive or died with their opponents, but if he was unfortunately defeated, even if the endless stairs themselves were not going without going back, the selected player might have to explain there.
However, after all, seeing that it is not a master who borrows the talent of a novice to gain experience advantages, it makes other players secretly hope to choose themselves as soon as possible. After all, risks and benefits coexist, and perhaps the most dangerous place seems to be the safest place!
At this time, Yuchen couldn't help but look at his novice talent - [Will Strengthening]. If it is not a master who can get close to brocade with his talent for life, then what can it bring to him? I don't know if it is due to luck. After examining it, the adjutant of the guard happened to point to where Yuchen was.
"Seeing that your will is not bad, you can survive by entering the endless stairs. I order you to enter the endless stairs immediately. If you can find the fifth guard, explain the situation to him. If he is dead, then bring out the pass permission card!"
The voice of the adjutant of the guard was unquestionable, and the ember slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the dust has settled, let's go.
...
[Tip: You have accepted the mandatory assessment task - recycling the pass permission card.]
Task name: [Recycle Pass Permission Card]
Requirements: Enter the endless stairs of the abnormal project and retrieve the pass card from the fifth guard officer
Reward: Contribution Point
Introduction: The fifth guard officer was attacked by the enemy and was forced to transfer the battlefield to the endless stairs of the abnormal item. Now you need to follow the requirements of the guard deputy and enter the endless stairs to retrieve the pass card on the fifth guard officer.
[Newbie's Tips: Although the endless stairs are not proactive and aggressive, no one knows the deepest secrets. The will talent you have can help you avoid some dangers, but remember that while you rely on your "will", you must also measure your "power".]
...
"Because the Chaos Apostle is likely chasing behind my back, I decided to set up a trap nearby, and you will have up to five minutes of movement." The adjutant of the guard handed over his lighting device to Embers. "There is time on the display of the strong flashlight. If you can't return after the time limit, then ask for blessings."
The temperature of the strong light flashlight was very cold, but the tone of the guard's adjutant was even colder.
"Sir... I hope to have a protective weapon, and if you encounter danger, you will be more confident in dealing with it."
Yuchen did not refuse this task, but tried to improve his confidence in success. His request also made all players cheer up. Everyone is still unarmed and has no one thing in their hands. They really can't feel safe.
Unfortunately, the answer from the adjutant of the guard was really disappointing: "All the weapons of the foundation not only need to pass identity verification, but also have strict equipment requirements, otherwise they will not even be touched. The Chaos Apostles who can break into this place are also elites. At your current level, those weapons and equipment cannot be touched. If you don't believe it, you can try it."
Upon hearing this, the players tried it without giving up, and then saw prompts that various attribute levels did not meet the standards. Looking at the firearms and weapons scattered all over the ground and could not be used, the players felt extremely helpless.
The feeling of being out of reach is very disgusting.
Seeing that the dream was gone, Yuchen had to put away his fantasy and walked towards the endless stairs of the black hole. But at this moment, tomorrow there was rain but suddenly stepped forward: "Sir, I hope to act with him, so I can take care of you."
Um?
Yu Chen looked back at Youyu tomorrow, not knowing why he was taking the risk. Although he might have obtained a lot of contribution points with his own special tasks, the risk was quite large. Look at the two veteran players, Yu Scale Arm and the two masters, both of them stopped in place, and had no intention of getting together. They thought it very clearly. Compared to drinking soup with Yu Chen, it was the truth that it was the truth.
As for Zuoma, who has not recovered from his injuries, he has no ambition to fight. He just wants to follow the senior players and how long it can last.
Tomorrow, Youyu held his breath and focused his mind, looking at the adjutant of the guard, who narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Although I don't think there will be any effect between the two of you entering the endless stairs together, I still choose to agree to your request."
The task prompt appeared immediately, which made Tomorrow Youyu suddenly feel relieved. A faint stream of light flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and smiled slightly: "Don't you mind if I'm on the road with you?"
Yu Chen didn't say anything, just nodded, then turned on the strong flashlight and walked into the extremely dark stairs.
...
Unlike brocade, the name of the endless staircase is very straightforward.
The embers shone down with a strong flashlight, but the light seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, and could only barely illuminate a staircase.
Each staircase has thirteen steps, and the staircase is connected by a semicircular platform. There are neither wall lights nor windows here. The air is dull and dust floating. Graffiti-like handwriting and pictures can be seen on the walls covered with black stains. Some clothes and undry blood scattered on the ground prove that a fierce battle had occurred here before.
[Tip: Your life level is zero, your power level is zero, and you cannot break through the aura obstacle of the endless stairs of the abnormal items, and the limit speed is greatly reduced.]
The invisible aura hit the face, hindering the actions of the two players. Even if they take big steps and run down, their speed is not as good as before. Instead, walking fast is more suitable for the current situation and there is no need to waste time restoring their energy.
I walked towards the five-story stairs in one breath, and the dull air suddenly changed.
A cool breeze came from below, as if indicating that the exit was not far away. However, the embers found that the lighting effect of the strong flashlight had slightly decreased. The power supply was still sufficient, but the lighting distance was shortened by half the length of the step for no reason.
This is definitely not a good phenomenon!
And if you don’t know about this, there will be rain tomorrow, it’s a thoughtful conversation with the embers: “Where are brothers?”
"Yangzhou, a small place." Yu Chen's answer was very short.
"The east of Hedong and the beginning of the morning sun are quiet and livable, with a good environment. It is a good place for elderly care. I have many friends from the north who are planning to place the elderly at home there."
Tomorrow Youyu first showed his knowledge, and then he gave Yu Chen a small compliment: "Seeing that brothers are good at being good, I don't know which industry to be in?"
“No job.”
Yuchen's answer was still short. He just wanted to complete the task now and was unwilling to be distracted, so his attitude was a little cold.
However, tomorrow Youyu thought he was deliberately avoiding talk because he was "unemployed". He was happy and said directly: "Brother, do you mean to join us Thunder to work together? You are a test player and can easily meet our recruitment standards. If you work harder, you can even directly get the treatment of internal members! We Thunder want to show off in the Abnormal Paradise. It is a time when there is a lack of talent. If you don't say anything else, as long as your brothers are willing to come, it is absolutely fine to make some small money."
Since the Singularity released the test account, the trading market has been higher than one day. Especially when the Duke of Thunder spent more than 30 test accounts, the price of the day before the test was started was approaching six figures, so tomorrow you feel it is necessary to win over the embers.
With one more qualification for internal testing, Thunder will have more chances to take a step forward, and there are more important reasons why he didn't say it out.
"Forget it, I'm just idle with the clouds and wild cranes, I'm used to it alone."
Due to his personality, Yuchen didn't like to get involved in these things, but tomorrow I was in a hurry. He looked at the darkness of the stairs and persuaded him repeatedly: "Don't, brother, think about it again. Although we Thunder is not a top guild, we have a lot of fame in the industry."
Yu Jin chuckled and shook his head, his attitude was firm. Youyu frowned tomorrow, thinking that this guy was really indifferent. If he hadn't taken a fancy to your internal test qualification, I wouldn't have bothered with you! After a while, only footsteps sounded in the stairs. You Yu looked at the dark space again tomorrow, as if he had made up some determination, and said to Yu Jin in a deep voice: "Brother, I'm going to hide it from you, our Thunder has indeed obtained some internal information. If your brother agrees, then we are our own people..."
Chapter completed!
