On the outside of the Giant's Castle, Xu Shuo slowly walked towards the central fortress, knocking several fruits along the way until he saw players who were also picking fruits.
It should be the players. Hongrao said that there are no locals in this punishment world anymore, and all the players who have come in are players who failed the mission.
In a way, they can be regarded as brothers in need.
"Hey, are you new here?"
After the player in the red combat uniform saw Xu Shuo, he took the initiative to come over and chat while eating the fruit.
Xu Shuo looked him over and nodded.
"Which script failed?" the other party asked again.
"Assessment book." Xu Shuo looked calm.
"Tsk." The player shook his head and said half-sighing and half-taunting: "Yes, the possibility of failing the assessment is already high. Those gambling dogs are fighting for the mission like rabies. If there is even the slightest possibility, they will be kicked out.
They bit right away."
Xu Shuo didn't answer, but he thought deeply.
There are indeed quite a lot of gambling dogs in the script space, maybe it’s because the maddening plot is more dog-friendly.
After gathering almost all the berries on the surrounding plants, Xu Shuo calculated the time for the monsters to run over and walked towards the Giant's Castle. The player followed behind while eating the fruit.
When they were about a hundred meters away from the fortress, there were more players around them. When they saw the two of them passing by, they just glanced at them casually.
"By the way, you'd better change into more conspicuous clothes at night, otherwise you may be attacked by others as a monster." The player suddenly said.
Xu Shuo glanced at the red combat uniform he was wearing and asked, "Can't you see at night?"
The player shrugged: "Absolutely. Although everyone has the ability to see things, sometimes they don't care whether you are a human or a monster when you get hit on the head. And those things are all very dark, so just hit the black ones wherever you catch them."
"
He is currently wearing a cyan shirt and black trousers. The cold colors are indeed not very clear at night.
Xu Shuo was thoughtful after hearing this: "Then I'll wear white at night."
…
The gate of the fortress is a thick stone door comparable to the city wall of District 13. Up close, a faint white light flows on the dark stone wall, giving it a smooth visual effect like glass.
The stone door was open and there was no one guarding it, but when Xu Shuo passed by, the system panel automatically jumped out.
The player next to him then asked: "Which position have you been assigned to?"
Xu Shuo looked at the instructions above: "North City Gate, Team 36, is responsible for guarding the No. 1 North Watchtower."
The next moment, the player clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Oh, it's actually my team. There are only three people left in our team, and we happen to be short of people!"
Xu Shuo: "..."
He now suspected that this person might have found out that he was new here and was sure that he would be assigned to the team that was short of people, so he came over to strike up a conversation.
Maybe his reaction was too fake, so the player smiled and put his arm around his shoulders and said: "I will end the punishment mission after tonight, brother, please give me some strength!"
Tonight...
Xu Shuo smiled slightly and said nothing.
If the monsters wandering in the desert are really attracted to him, then as he expected, they should be on their way by now, and they can face fierce battles without going into the night.
There are many auxiliary combat buildings inside the fortress. They are not houses, they are just defensive measures made to withstand the charge of monsters.
As for where do players live while defending the fortress?
What does it have to do with script space?
All the buildings here are surrounded by a ring. In the center of the fortress is a majestic spire, and the white light flowing through the tower is relatively strong.
As the two of them walked towards the North City Gate, the player introduced Xu Shuo to the situation here.
Players who come to Giant Castle will be divided into fifty teams, with a maximum of ten players per team and a minimum of no one. In fact, many teams usually cannot gather ten players.
Forty teams guarded the four gates of the east, west, north and south respectively, and the other ten teams guarded the tower inside the city.
That is the defense line of this world.
Once the tower is breached, the entire world will collapse in an instant and directly become the nourishment of the abyss.
"Is this your first time coming to punish the world?"
Xu Shuo nodded.
Seeing this, the player started talking eloquently: "It is said that this world used to be a normal world, but it was invaded by the abyss, and the locals could not resist it, so the world gradually became like this.
“Later, the script space set up a defense line here and asked us players to come and defend the line.
"But you don't have to worry too much. This world has a very strong third-level defense line. Those abyss monsters that have penetrated will not be too strong, and they are just enough for us to deal with.
"It is said that some of the abyss monsters in advanced worlds can almost destroy the world!
"It won't be available here anyway."
Xu Shuo listened and nodded again as if he had learned something from the popular science.
In fact, Hongrao also said it.
The more advanced the script, the weaker the space wall and can be easily broken, so high-level players are required to guard it.
On the contrary, although the world itself in the low-stage scenario is very weak, the space wall is quite strong and is not easily invaded by the abyss. The stronger the monster, the higher the repulsion it will receive.
Just like an inflated balloon, the more it inflates, the easier it is to explode!
As for the purely material world of the earth, it should be a very regular balloon - maybe it used to be.
There are many players resting on the city gate. Because they have no place to live, they use the ground as a mat to stay in the place they guard. If the conditions are good, you can even get a bed from the manual.
North No. 1 watchtower is on the far left side of the city gate. There are five watchtowers in the north gate, about tens of meters apart.
The Giant's Castle is very huge, but looking from the sky, the fortress placed in the entire desert seems like a drop in the ocean, trapped in a cage by the approaching darkness.
There is nothing in the distant place, only the deep darkness that cannot be penetrated, and the abyss monsters twisting and struggling in the darkness.
There is only this fortress left in the whole world.
The watchtower is very spacious, and there are two people guarding it. One of them is observing the situation in the distance with a telescope.
"Hey, the new guy on our team is here!"
The player who came over with Xu Shuo greeted.
The man sitting cross-legged in the corner of the watchtower, wiping his bow and arrows, looked up, then lowered his head, and asked calmly: "Which side is your ability probably biased towards?"
Xu Shuo heard the sound and looked over, taking a few glances at the bow in his hand.
I didn’t see an arrow, I only saw a bow. She should have similar abilities to the young woman in “Green Train”, right?
Xu Shuo paused, raised his cane and said, "Detection type?"
The three of them looked at him in unison.
"Distance detection or combat prediction? How far can it be detected?" the man asked again.
"Distance, fifty meters." Xu Shuo.
"..."
After the words fell, the expressions of the three people visibly froze, and they stared at him for a long time.
Then, the player who brought Xu Shuo over smiled and said: "Brother, you don't have to hide your abilities here, because when the fight starts, you will definitely be forced to use your best! Now tell me which abilities you focus on,
It’s also to facilitate our cooperation.”
Hearing this, Xu Shuo walked to the shadow at his feet, stood on tiptoes and dug directly into the shadow, and then raised the cane blessed with golden light.
He said sincerely: "I still have some ability in close combat."
