Chapter 256
Chapter 256
Xu Su had recently been addicted to the global hit holographic game and could not extricate himself.
This Infinite Looping Adventure had recently become the focus of the world's attention. It was because the developer behind it was too mysterious, causing this game to appear out of nowhere. There was not much warning at all, but its quality passed the mark and blew up the world.
It was said that many countries had sniffed out the future direction of the world from this holographic game and formed many research teams to collectively enter the game to seize the opportunity.
However, these were not that important to ordinary people. For a loyal fan of online games like Xu Su, he just wanted to have fun.
What's more, he was really lucky to be one of the 655 lucky people selected out of billions of people. It was simply enviable.
For this reason, Xu Su had some ideas.
He felt that this game was quite fun, and it was so popular recently. He might be able to find a way out in the game in the future.
As the first holographic game, Infinite Looping Adventure could be said to be a pioneer. The game helmet of the closed beta did not limit the game time, and ordinary game helmets could only be online for five hours a day. Therefore, there was a closed beta helmet on the market that had a price but no supply. It could be said that Xu Su would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life just by holding this helmet.
It just so happened that he had graduated. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to find a job.
It was also thanks to this helmet that Xu Su's family also supported his decision to let him develop his new plan in the holographic game.
Xu Su was overjoyed to be able to solve his work.
Now, he did not stay up late or sleep in. Every day after waking up, after washing up and eating breakfast, he put on the helmet and logged into the game.
This was because he had a secret.
In Infinite Looping Adventure, he had a 'guide' that no one else had.
No one else had it except for Xu Su.
"Morning."
Xu Su, who had just logged into the game, immediately showed a big smile. "Morning!"
The guide's voice was very gentle, easily reminiscent of a comfortable sofa or the afternoon sun. It was strange. Xu Su felt like he had known this person for a long time, but he did not have any impression of it.
However … when he heard the guide's voice, he felt his heart beat faster for some reason.
He hadn't even seen the other party's face before. He had only heard the other party's voice. How could it be so ridiculous?
All of a sudden, Xu Su felt a little regretful. Hence, he lowered his head and sent a text message to Zhong Yiyuan and Tokumon.
Zhong Yiyuan was a top-level Yin Yang Eyes user, while Tokumon was a top-level Yin Yang Master. Both of them were ranked in the top 655 players in the world.
Of course, Xu Su was also at the bottom of this list.
Although he felt that he was a noob, in the eyes of others, he was indeed a true god. He was the kind of big shot that people would surround him and beg to hug his thigh when he appeared in a public setting.
Soon, his two friends replied to his message.
Zhong Yiyuan: [Still in the dungeon. Wait.]
Tokumon: [Coming, coming.]
Tokumon: [By the way, there's an S-level dungeon today. I've pulled a few of the top ten players with me. Let's meet at the usual place in two hours.]
What …! A big shot in the top ten of the rankings! And it's an S-level dungeon!
Xu Su couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he saw this message.
He was still a bottom-feeder in the top 655. Tokumon, on the other hand, was a true top godly player who occupied the tenth place. He usually played with people from both sides. Xu Su rarely entered this kind of group dungeon. Usually, he would at most bring his friends to an A-level dungeon to test the waters.
Moreover, they were going to enter an S-level dungeon!
In the current team combination ranking, only the duo of No. 6 and No. 4 had been steadily in the first place. They had cleared countless S-level dungeons and had become an existence that everyone looked up to.
Except for this pair of fixed duo, who was so mysterious that no one had ever seen their true faces, the other teams were terrible. The second-ranked team was still Fan Zhuo, who led the elite team of the Night People Guild under his name to break the A-level dungeon record.
It could be said that entering an S-level dungeon was no less than exploring a new land. They didn't even need to ask for a pass evaluation. As long as they could pass, they could definitely run to second place on the rankings.
Just as Xu Su was feeling nervous, the guide spoke again.
"Are you nervous?"
The heat that had just subsided with great difficulty rose once again.
Xu Su scratched his head, as if he wanted to use this action to eliminate his unnaturalness: "It's, it's okay."
The guide comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'll watch over you."
Xu Su: F * ck! This is too much of a foul!
In fact, he himself didn't know why he had a guide. Clearly, other players didn't have one. Moreover, his guide's authority was very high. Sometimes, he would even tell Xu Su where some special items were hidden in the dungeon. There was even one time when Xu Su was about to be dragged away by ghosts, the guide helped him avoid detection.
At that time, he was hiding in the closet, and his ears were full of the guide's voice.
"Shh, don't make a sound. I can only temporarily block the other party's perception."
"Don't tell anyone. If the higher-ups find out, I'll be punished."
As everyone knew, the NPCs in the Infinite Loop Adventure were very intelligent. They were even comparable to humans.
For example, there was a high-level NPC in the main city that was widely known by the players. Usually, he had black hair and black eyes, wore an elegant Daoist robe, and did not smile. Even if he rarely said a few words, his poisonous tongue was unbearable. However, he was also very smart. There were several times when players formed a team to ask for external help to fool him, but in the end, they were fooled until they lost their pants.
However, the mission rewards given by this NPC were really generous. It was so generous that many players on the forum were willing to be masochists and receive venom and sarcasm. They also cycled through the main city every day to meet this NPC.
Xu Su really wanted to ask the guide who he was.
Was he a high-level NPC in this game? Or was he an ordinary person hired by the Infinite Loop Adventure?
However, for some reason, Xu Su couldn't say the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Perhaps he realized that he had touched something that he shouldn't have.
If he knew that the other party was just an intelligent NPC in the Infinite Loop Adventure, how sad would it be?
Therefore, he remained silent today. He only smiled and said in a low voice, "Of course I believe you."
As long as the guide was still around, Xu Su had never really been in danger.
As expected, it was the same for this S-Rank dungeon.
Before entering, everyone got to know each other.
Looking at these big shots with the IDs of The Dark Wizard, Messiah, and Poseidon, Xu Su also trembled and reported his ID.
The Dark Wizard looked at him and said, "I know you. You have the 'Book of the Black Hen'."
This book was also one of the famous special items in the black magic world. In the end, they could be considered to be of the same origin. In particular, The Dark Wizard, as the leader of the Witchcraft Association, had offered Xu Su an olive branch several times. However, Xu Su did not want to join any organization.
This was because subconsciously, he always felt that he seemed to be in an organization. It couldn't be said that he was in an organization. It was more accurate to say that he had recognized a boss.
Although Xu Su could not remember which boss he had recognized, this did not prevent him from being a free person. What if one day his boss summoned him?
"Alright, alright. Let's stop chatting. The dungeon is about to start."
The Exorcist turned around and looked at them who were chatting happily. He gestured to Fan Zhuo to get ready.
Other than Fan Zhuo, only the Exorcist, who was ranked number four among the S-Rank present, had his memories of the Infinite Loop Adventure. Therefore, looking at the familiar faces in front of him, he had already made arrangements for everyone's abilities.
As for the other S-Rank, because they were in the same team during the internal testing, even if they did not have the Infinite Loop Adventure, everyone was considered to be familiar with each other and would not treat each other as outsiders.
Fan Zhuo simply explained a few things to take note of. "This time, our goal is to clear the dungeon. Our first priority is to ensure Messiah's safety. "
At this time, Messiah had already developed the ultimate healing skill "Uriel's Embrace". As long as there was enough channeling time, her HP bar could be instantly restored.
With such a precious healing skill, of course, their first priority was to ensure her safety.
Everyone stopped smiling and nodded solemnly, indicating that they understood.
"Alright, then let's go."
.....
[Congratulations to the team led by player Fan Zhuo. Members: The Exorcist, Messiah, Black Azan, Poseidon, The Dark Wizard, Tokumon, Xu Su. They have cleared the S-Rank dungeon Atlantis and become the record holder of this S-Rank dungeon.]
The World Broadcast sounded throughout the game. It was broadcasted three times in a row, giving them enough face.
However, after being teleported out, Xu Su was still in a state of shock.
He sat on the spot. After a long while, he spent 055 points to let the system restore his HP bar to full. Then, he chose to leave the dungeon without stopping.
There were all kinds of dangers in this dungeon.
But what made Xu Su fall into a trance was something else.
At the moment of life and death, he could have revived, but for some reason, Xu Su forgot that this was a holographic game. He really felt that death was coming.
So at the last second, he finally mustered up the courage to ask the guide.
The guide was silent for a moment. His voice was obviously apologetic.
"… Sorry, I can't see you now. I can't tell you this because it's against the rules. "
At that moment, Xu Su felt his heart drop to the bottom.
If it wasn't an NPC, he could at least meet it in real life, right?
This answer could only mean that his guide was just an AI NPC.
Xu Su felt that this was ridiculous. He actually fell in love with an NPC in the game that he had never even seen before. He even wanted to develop a relationship with her.
He must have lost his mind.
"Su, why haven't you played the game for two days?"
After locking himself in his room for a few days, even his family noticed his abnormality.
"No, no, I just feel like I'm a little addicted. It's good to rest for a few days."
Xu Su walked to the entrance. "Don't worry about me, mom. I'm fine."
"Other than soy sauce, is there anything else you want to buy? If not, I'm going downstairs. "
He put on his shoes, jumped twice on the spot, picked up his wallet, and went downstairs.
There was nothing that time couldn't cure. Maybe it would be better in a few days.
Xu Su was choosing things from the shelves. When he was paying, he inadvertently saw a bottle of pineapple beer. He subconsciously reached out for it.
He didn't like pineapple beer, and he never even drank. But today, he suddenly felt like drinking, so he took it.
"Hello, that'll be 80 dollars."
Just as Xu Su was about to pay, another hand brushed past him and handed a hundred dollar bill to the salesperson.
"Do you like pineapple beer too?"
A familiar steady voice sounded behind him.
This was a voice that Xu Su would never forget for the rest of his life.
He turned around in shock and saw a young man waving at him with an identical bottle of pineapple beer in his hand.
He didn't know why, but he had the urge to cry even though he had never seen it before. Even if it was so unfamiliar that he had forgotten his memory, that sense of familiarity was not fake.
"I don't like pineapple beer, but the person I like can't drink alcohol. He gets drunk as soon as he drinks, so he can only drink this. So pineapple beer became the secret code that I promised him when we met in the next life. "
Xu Sen smiled. "Now, as promised, I'm here to bring him home."
