Hong Rao has launched a mission to punish the world, and her system panel is in public mode.
Therefore, Xu Shuo, who was standing nearby, could clearly see several strange games such as "Hide and Seek", "Wooden Man", "Magic Monopoly" and so on.
Seemingly aware that Xu Shuo was peeking, Hong Rao said: "These previous games are all for attacking newcomers. Since you said you are interested in punishment missions, I thought I would simply let you go to the punishment world where high-level players often stay.
Let’s take a look around.”
When she said this, her tone was strange and meaningful, and the look in her eyes contained a smile that was one part helpless, two parts indulgent, and three parts loving.
Xu Shuo: "..." I really can't understand what she was thinking about.
Hongrao scrolled for a long time, and finally clicked on a script with a desert cover and the title "Giant's Castle" on it.
"Are you going in now or next time?" Hongrao asked.
"Now."
"Okay, I just have time now, so I'll go in with you."
When Xu Shuo heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this my punishment mission?"
And don’t we have different levels?
After the player fails the mission, the next script will be automatically arranged as a punishment mission. You need to go through the punishment mission before you can open the scenario again.
More importantly, there are no rewards for punishment tasks.
Hongrao explained: "The level limit of the Punishment World is not high, and this world is configured for third-level players. If you enter now, it is equivalent to a leapfrog challenge. You can apply for tutor supervision. You still have to do the task yourself, I am just watching from the side.
"
Xu Shuo nodded: "Then you can also apply not to be supervised by the tutor?"
Hongrao: "..."
Xu Shuo smiled: "I'm just kidding."
The scenario world has a plot flow and various restrictions. Players can't even tell who the NPCs are. All their actions are basically to promote the plot and complete tasks.
But the world of punishment has none of this.
It just throws you in to punish you.
Xu Shuo opened the player manual, and when he clicked on the last page to enter the game, the system immediately popped up the prompt [Tutor applies for guardianship], so he clicked Agree.
Soon, the familiar list from the last time I teamed up with Luo Kai was displayed, with team leader Xu Shuo and team member Hong Rao.
He discovered that the captain did not have much authority and could not even kick people.
Thinking of this, Xu Shuo asked directly: "Can't you kick someone?"
Hongrao looked at him warily: "You can kick people in the team before the game, but after you start the game, you can't change the team members until the end of the game."
"Oh." Xu Shuo nodded: "Then what is the use of the captain's authority?"
"Provide a leadership role."
"..."
It's just a name.
Players who form a team to enter the game will not become opponents, and this irreducible relationship is equivalent to the entire team being prosperous and losing, which will most likely reduce the chance of team members rebelling.
Speaking of which, Hongrao seemed to have said before that he would arrange a team mission for him after he levels up...
Thinking of these, Xu Shuo entered the world of "Giant Castle".
…
There was a whistling wind in his ears, and as soon as he opened his eyes, his face was covered in yellow sand.
The player's handbook was opened, and his mission this time was listed on it.
[Kill high-level abyss monsters 0/10.]
【Hold the Giant's Castle for 3 days.】
Xu Shuo was slightly surprised: "Only ten monsters need to be killed?"
It doesn't seem like much or difficult.
Hongrao next to her was holding a white carved oil-paper umbrella, with a gauze curtain hanging under the umbrella to block the wind and sand. Her graceful figure was looming under the cover of the white gauze. After hearing the words, she said leisurely: "Yes, just use it."
Hearing the teasing tone in her tone, Xu Shuo said nothing and turned to look around.
The two of them appeared in a desert with no grass growing, and the sky was scorching with the sun. Looking around, there was really nothing except the dry ground and the whistling yellow sand!
Xu Shuo looked around: "Should I find the Giant Castle myself?"
Hongrao made a sound and said: "Go wherever you want, you will eventually reach the Giant's Castle anyway."
Hearing this, Xu Shuo didn't hesitate anymore, just chose a direction and walked forward, while opening the player's manual and reading it.
None of the player's skills and props have been banned, and even the mall is open, but is disconnected from the outside world.
Being so completely open means that players will most likely need to use it.
Xu Shuo took out the "Wuwangzhi's Cane".
When the metal at the end falls on the ground, it can only make a dull sound, and the situation underground is depicted by sound waves.
There is nothing fifty meters underground.
However, Xu Shuo didn't notice Hongrao next to him...
Hongrao was obviously standing next to him, but after the sound waves spread out, nothing was scanned, only a blank space, as if she didn't exist here at all.
Xu Shuo turned around and saw Hongrao looking at the cane in his hand with great interest.
She didn't ask any more questions. She noticed Xu Shuo's probing eyes and smiled: "I can block some of the induction. Your strength and the strength of this prop are still at a low stage, so we can't detect any abnormalities in this area for the time being."
Xu Shuo calmly put away his cane.
To be honest, he doesn't have much combat power, and his combat power is basically in the character card.
But it's not a problem to always rely on the power of character cards, so he wanted to try fighting those monsters by himself.
And the only prop he can get now is this cane. Anyway, the system recommends him to use the cane for close combat. As for the "Deep Sea Fin Needle" - whether the monster has acupoints is a question.
Let's try and see if we can't beat him later.
…
The wind and sand blew in from nowhere, and the sun in the sky was extremely bright, but I couldn't feel any heat at all.
As if it was just a sticker.
The two of them walked in the desert for a while without encountering a monster. Xu Shuo would use his stick to explore the ground from time to time. Maybe a monster would be squatting underneath?
But in fact there is nothing underground, just rocks and soil, not even a grass stem.
Suddenly, Hongrao stopped.
Xu Shuo, who was walking in front, noticed it slightly and turned to look at her in confusion.
Hongrao squinted his eyes slightly and seemed to be listening to something. The whistling wind slightly lifted the white veil, and the enchanting face looked a bit cold without much expression.
After a while, Hongrao stretched out her finger and tapped the ground towards him: "Stand here and don't move."
At the end of the words, Hongrao's figure disappeared from the spot.
Xu Shuo paused, looked left and right, then looked up at the sky, and then he vaguely saw a small black dot in the clear sky.
But after a moment, Hongrao appeared in front of him again, staring at him with wide eyes in shock.
This weird look is like seeing a dancing abyss monster!
Xu Shuo was confused: "What's wrong?"
Hongrao looked at him speechlessly. After a while, he stretched out his fingers and pointed around, and said: "Front, back, left, and right, about five kilometers, tens of thousands of abyss monsters are running towards us, and we have been surrounded for a long time.
