Chapter 1115 Dark Elf Cave

"who?"

"hehe"

After a cold chuckle, a whirlwind seemed to blow up around.

"Ding, you have been killed by Mei Chaofeng, do you want to exit the script?"

"Quit, quit"

At this time, Mei Chaofeng, who was hiding outside the Great Wall, was an absolute killing god. If she didn't quit, she would be asking for trouble.

Zhao Wuji looked at the time and saw that only a few minutes had passed, so he pressed the restart button.

"Ding, the random scenario "Hometown" is opened"

"What, what is the script of hometown?"

Ever since the extras system that Li Jingling gave him privately, it has served as a subtle bridge, reducing some of Zhao Wuji's direct contact with the life expansion system.

"It's less fun, but it's less troublesome, so it's fine."

“Ding-ling-ling——”

The shrill sound of the alarm clock exploded in his ears. Zhao Wuji suddenly opened his eyes and reached for the bedside table with his right hand as usual, but found nothing.

In front of him was a cave lit by luminescent fungi, with vines that glowed blue on the walls, and the air was filled with a mixed smell of mushrooms and sulfur. He was lying in a hammock woven from spider silk, covered with some kind of bat skin?
“What the hell?!”

Zhao Wuji somersaulted—and because of the elasticity of the hammock, he hit the top of the cave directly.

"Boom!"

"Ouch!!"

He covered his head and fell back into the hammock. Only then did he realize that his hands had turned into a strange dark gray, and his fingers were too slender to be human. He touched his cheek with trembling hands and touched his pointed ears.

"I turned into an elf? Wait, this color."

A terrible guess came to his mind. Zhao Wuji rolled and crawled towards a pool of underground water in the corner. A strange face was reflected on the water: purple eyes, long white hair, and dark skin.

"Fuck! I became a dark elf?!"

[Ding! The crowd performance system has been successfully activated~]

The sudden electronic sound scared him so much that he almost jumped up. A line of semi-transparent text appeared in front of him:
[Welcome to the world of "Dark Elf Trilogy"! Your current identity is: an ordinary male dark elf civilian in the third district of Menzoberranzan, number 3]

"Wait, wait!" Zhao Wuji grabbed his white hair frantically, "I..."

[The system has detected strong emotional fluctuations in the host and is injecting sedatives]

"Wait, what do you mean by calm—"

A warm current suddenly surged through his body, and Zhao Wuji suddenly felt that no matter how big the problem was, it was nothing. He collapsed on the hammock and even wanted to hum a little tune.

".Are all your systems so overbearing?"

[This system is the "Extras Safety System", the purpose is: Eat melons safely and go home alive! ]

As this line of words appeared, a Q-version little ghost jumped out of the void and turned around in front of his eyes.

"So. Can I go back?" Zhao Wuji asked cautiously.

[Of course! Just meet any of the following conditions:

1. Earn 100000 gold coins
2. Survive to the end of the main storyline (Drizzt leaves the Underdark)]

Zhao Wuji's eyes went dark: "One hundred thousand gold coins?! Why don't you just go and rob them!"

[Warm Tips: Under the current world price level, the monthly income of an ordinary dark elf worker is about 5 gold coins]

"."

Zhao Wuji began to seriously consider whether he could get back in by hitting the wall.

[Host's dangerous thoughts detected, anti-self-destruction protocol activated! ]

The next second, his limbs were fixed by an invisible force.

"Let me go! I want to find Li Jingling"

[Host, calm down. According to the system calculation, if we work step by step, it will take about 1666 years to save up gold coins. However, if we use the wisdom of modern people, it is expected that the time will be greatly shortened.]

Zhao Wuji stopped struggling and suddenly thought of a question: "Wait, this is the world of the Dark Elf Trilogy, so what time is it now? Where is Drizzt?"

The system pops up a translucent timeline:

[Current time point: Drizzt Do'Urden is 8 years old and has just entered the Spider Academy]

"Great!" Zhao Wuji slapped his thigh, "I can..."

[Warning! Detected that the host is trying to interfere with the main plot! ] The system suddenly turned into red alert mode, [Rule 1 of the Extras Code: You can watch, but you can't steal the show! ]

The Q version of the little ghost turned into a serious security guard, holding a "No" sign.

"Is it not possible for me to just think about it?"

[This world is a high-dimensional observation experiment field. Any interference with the main line will lead to a butterfly effect. If the host violates the rules, he will face punishment.]

"What punishment?"

[For example: Forced to change into a goblin for a week? ]

Zhao Wuji immediately clamped his legs together: ".You win."

Zhao Wuji guessed that Li Jingling might have some special arrangements for the versions involving the elves, so he looked around the dark cave dejectedly and accepted the reality: "What is my current identity?"

[Identity information loading
Name: Zhao·No sense of existence·Inorganic

Occupation: Mushroom farmer in District 3 of Menzoberranzan
Wealth: 3 silver coins (approximately equal to 0.03 gold coins)

Skills: Can speak Chinese (invalid in this world), can use mobile phone (invalid in this world), can write university physics homework (invalid in this world)]

“Stop, stop, stop!” Zhao Wuji’s forehead was bulging with veins. “So I came across this time with a useless attribute?”

[The host is detected to be in a low mood, and a novice gift pack is given: Dark Elf Language Proficiency, Basic Self-Defense, Underdark Survival Knowledge]

A stream of information poured into his brain, and Zhao Wuji suddenly found that he could read the weird spider writing on the wall - although most of the content was slogans like "No urination and defecation anywhere" and "Long live Goddess Rose". "Well." He sighed, "at least it's not completely unarmed."

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the cave. The system immediately popped up a prompt:
[Attention! Your "boss" Graol Spiderclaw is coming soon. He is the supervisor of the mushroom farm in Area 3 and has a bad temper.]

Before Zhao Wuji could react, a dark elf with scars all over his face kicked open his "door" - if the hanging bat-skin curtain could be considered a door.

"No. 2333! How dare you sleep during work hours?!" Grol swung his barbed whip, "If you don't hand over twenty pounds of fluorescent mushrooms today, I'll feed you to the lizards!"

Zhao Wuji stood at attention subconsciously: "Report to the commander! I'll go right away!"

Grohl was stunned: ".What did you call me?"

"Uh, dear overseer?"

"Has your brain been eaten by a mind flayer?" Grol looked at him suspiciously. "Forget it, get to work!" After saying that, he kicked the wall again before leaving.

Zhao Wuji let out a long sigh, only to find that his back was soaked.

"System, what would happen if I said the wrong thing just now?"

[According to calculations, there is an 85% chance of being whipped ten times, a 10% chance of being reduced to a slave, and a 5% chance of triggering the "passerby halo" to make him forget about it]

".What the hell is that last one?"

[Extra Privilege: When your presence is below the threshold, NPC will automatically ignore your abnormal behavior]

Zhao Wuji suddenly felt that this skill was unexpectedly practical.

Following the system's navigation, he arrived at the mushroom farm in Area 3 - actually a huge cave full of various glowing fungi. Dozens of dark elf civilians, dressed in rags like him, were busy picking mushrooms.

"Hey, new guy!" A thin dark elf came over. "Are you here to replace the unlucky guy who was eaten by the spider last week?"

Zhao Wuji laughed dryly: "Haha. That's really humorous."

"I'm Zhizhi, and I've been working here for three years." The other party held up four fingers - the number of fingers of dark elves is different from that of humans. "Since you look so silly, I'll teach you a secret: stay away from the purple ones when picking mushrooms, because they will fart."

"fart?"

As if to confirm this statement, a muffled "puff" sound suddenly came from a distance, followed by a scream:
“My eyes!!”

The three dark elves rolled on the ground, covering their faces. The purple mushrooms they had just collected were emitting suspicious smoke.

Zhizhi shrugged: "Look, another group of people got hit."

Zhao Wuji suddenly felt that the goal of 100,000 gold coins seemed farther away than he had imagined.

At this moment, the system suddenly popped up a prompt:
[Side quest trigger: Get the top three in today's collection competition

Reward: 1 gold coin (starting capital)
Failure penalty: Graol punishes you to wash the poisonous lizard for a week.

"Collecting competition?" Zhao Wuji looked confused.

Zhizhi pointed to the high platform and said, "Once a week, those who pick the most can get an extra half loaf of bread!"

Following the instructions, Zhao Wuji saw Grol standing on the platform and shouting, "Today's competition begins! The first prize is - no need to be whipped!"

“.Is this considered a reward?”

[Dark Elf Society Tips: Here, not being punished is already a reward]

Zhao Wuji took a deep breath, looked at the endless mushroom field in front of him, and suddenly smiled cunningly.

"System, I remember you said that I can't interfere with the main storyline, but you didn't say that I can't do some small things in this place where passers-by gather, right?"

[Theoretically yes? ]

"Okay then." He squatted down and pulled a thread from his torn clothes, "Let me show you what 'assembly line operation' means."

Ten minutes later, everyone in the mushroom field was staring at Zhao Wuji's operation in amazement: he lined up six collection baskets in a row and used a simple lever device to pick them at the same time, with an efficiency five times that of others.

"This, this is witchcraft!" Grol's jaw dropped in shock.

"No, sir, this is just... uh... the wisdom bestowed by Goddess Rose?" Zhao Wuji lied without blushing or beating his heart.

In the end, he won the game by a landslide. When Grohl reluctantly handed him a gold coin, the system prompt sounded:
[Mission completed! Obtained 1 gold coin! Current total assets: 1.03 gold coins, 99998.97 gold coins left to reach the target]

Zhao Wuji held the gold coins and suddenly felt that the future was bright.

“At this rate”

[Reminder: Grohl has decided to ban "non-traditional collection methods" in next week's competition]

".Are you here just to attack me?"

[The purpose of this system is to give you hope without making you too arrogant]

As night fell (if there was a distinction between day and night underground), Zhao Wuji returned to his cave and collapsed exhausted on the hammock.

"System, can you show me the current situation of Drizzt?"

The scene unfolds: Young Drizzt is undergoing brutal training at the Spider Academy. He is beaten all over by older students but he stubbornly refuses to fall down.

"Alas, I know the plot but I can't help." Zhao Wuji sighed, "Wait, system! What if I secretly send him some medicine?"

[Penalty options loading:
A. Become a goblin for one week

B. Grow a pair of rabbit ears
C. Forced to do square dance for three days]

"..I…shut up."

He turned over and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, can I write a letter to Li Jingling?"

[Inter-dimensional communication requires payment of 100000 gold coins]

"."

Zhao Wuji buried his face in the bat skin quilt and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow I will start to earn money seriously."

[Good luck to the host~ Friendly reminder: You need to hand in three pounds of spider silk as a residence tax tomorrow morning]

"What?! This hole has to be taxed?!"

[Dark Elf Society Tips: Even breathing is taxed~]

Amidst the wails of despair, Zhao Wuji’s first day of time travel ended just like that.
