If I upgrade, I can win prizes

Chapter 305 Players (2)

Zhuang Yao grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, opened his palms again, and watched them being blown away bit by bit in the wind, floating far away, and returning to the earth.

Is this the legendary "Ming Zun" game? Isn’t this too damn real? Not even a trace of procedural synthesis can be seen.

And the way to enter the game is that you can actually enter the game just by falling asleep, without any help from outside objects. What is the principle of this?

When I saw those legends on the Internet, I thought they were fake and someone was playing some embarrassing joke, but they turned out to be true!

However, it seems that there is very little news about "Ming Zun" on the Internet now. I haven't seen it for more than a month. Is the news that "all players have been taken away by the official" true?
Forget it, let’s see what this ghost place is about first!
Zhuang Yao looked around, and everything he saw was khaki: the ground was a dusty loess road, the house was a dark yellow mud house, and not far away there was an khaki city wall five or six meters high...

There are quite a few people on the street, but most of them are simply dressed and their faces are full of dust. They all look miserable. Judging from their appearance, they have sunken eyes, high noses, rough skin, and different hair colors, but they are all foreign. People's appearance.

Suddenly, Zhuang Yao felt a sudden pain in his back and turned his head sharply. He saw a middle-aged foreigner riding a horse, holding a whip in his hand and mumbling something.

Judging from his tone, it seemed like he was issuing some order.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Yao couldn't understand a word he said, and could only feel the growing anger in his tone.

To be honest, the salary and benefits offered by the Garrison Bureau are indeed very attractive. Even if ordinary people live in first-tier cities and join some well-known large companies, it is difficult for ordinary people to get such salary and benefits.

Fortunately, there was no one in the room. There were only some very simple wooden tables, chairs, beds and cabinets. Judging from how worn they were, there was no desire to rummage through them.

For a mere few hundred thousand, he had to bear the blame for so many years for his boss. Now he regretted it so much that his intestines turned blue.

There were several wooden barrels on both sides, all covered with lids, but you could still smell the disgusting smell of rotting food inside, and you could still see moldy spots on the barrels.

Just as he was thinking about it, a light blue game panel appeared in front of Zhuang Yao.

What's going on with this game? It doesn’t matter if there’s no Chinese dubbing, isn’t there even Chinese subtitles? I’ve heard that this game is hardcore, but is this too hardcore?

But the floor seemed to be a slide, and people couldn't help but slide to one place. They quickly opened their hands and groped for a while, and found a wooden pillar to hug. The horse finally stabilized his body and could see his surroundings clearly.

Only those who have truly lost their freedom know how precious it is.

"The contract has been signed and I have successfully joined the garrison. My mother no longer has to force me to take the civil service exam."

Seeing that Zhuang Yao didn't react, the middle-aged foreigner raised his riding whip high and whipped it down again.

Wow~Wow~Wow~
The first thing that came was the sound of waves.

"The mission says to kill the barbarians. Where are the barbarians? Why can't I find them outside the village?"

The incomprehensible chirping came from the window again. Those voices gradually came closer to the door during the conversation, and then the door opened.

However, Zhuang Yao has always been pessimistic. As an accountant who once studied in Tilanqiao, he has always been cautious in doing things. Even though the official salary package was indeed attractive, he decisively chose to give up.

At the same time, Zhuang Yao drew out his short sword.

The wooden floor under the buttocks is still shaking back and forth, making people feel like they are on the famous pirate ship project in that amusement park.

But Zhuang Yao always felt that something was wrong. Looking at these introductions, it seemed that after joining the job, he not only had to go to class and study during the day, but also slept in the game and followed instructions at night. All players were also gathered together... This kind of strong sense of déjà vu was felt what's going on?

"Who knows? When I fell asleep, I suddenly entered the game, and when I woke up, I suddenly had an iron rice bowl. It was a completely speechless event."

Directly in front of him, against the wall, was a dirty, broad wooden table with blood stains. On it was a disemboweled fish, which was not completely dead and was still hopping weakly from time to time. There was also a fish on the table. A sharp knife stuck in the handle.

Turning to look behind him, there were neatly stacked brown bags, all bulging. One of the bags was opened and put aside. What was exposed was light yellow mixed with some small black ones. I don’t know what kind of powder I ordered.

"New players, please try your best to protect yourself. Your character will enter a deep sleep state when you go offline. Don't be afraid if you die. You can continue playing after 24 hours."

Opening his eyes, before he could clearly see the surrounding scene, Ma Hua felt a jolt and couldn't stand at all. He hurriedly lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

When the middle-aged foreigner saw Zhuang Yao escaping, he became even more angry. He yelled and cursed and drove his horses to chase him.

After watching the communication channel for a while, Zhuang Yao also had a certain understanding of this game.

"Don't trust anyone! Don't trust anyone! Don't trust anyone!"

However, it is not incomprehensible. This inexplicable ability to transport people to another world in their sleep is indeed a bit worrying. In a sense, it is very similar to being infected by a mysterious virus. point.

……

Zhuang Yao was not a fool either, so he immediately ducked sideways, and then started running away.

Of course, this is the worst outcome. After all, there are so many people, most of whom have families. If they all die suddenly, the impact will be too great. Officials should not go to this step unless it is a last resort.

Judging from the introduction on the channel, it seems that it is not difficult to get hired. All you need to do is log off, register and confirm. The Garrison Bureau will send someone to pick you up, so you don’t have to worry about anything.

……

Fortunately, the houses in this small loess city were dense enough. Zhuang Yao rushed directly into an alley, turned left and right in various narrow alleys, and finally got rid of the pursuit, and then looked at a window that was not closed tightly. , opened it and climbed into the house, then quickly closed the window.

You still have to control your destiny in your own hands.

wrong! Boat? It feels like it is indeed a ship! This game is indeed just like the legend. The birthplaces of the characters are different and very random. I should be on a ship this time.

Keep all the players in captivity. If there is a premonition that there will be some kind of threat to reality, all the players can be destroyed as quickly as possible!

"New players, don't panic. If you find that you don't understand what the people around you are saying, congratulations. You are not in the Central Plains. The current official residence is in the Central Plains. The game has a resurrection mechanism. You can die and be resurrected in the Jianya Village. The official will make appropriate arrangements at that time..."

But why is this boat bumping so hard? When I went out on a yacht before, it was not so bumpy. Is it because the yacht I bought was too big? Or is it in a different sea area?
After trying for a while, Ma finally got used to the bumps of the ship and stood up again. Although his walking was not stable, he would not fall down easily.

[Character], [Skill], [Quest]... After looking at the options one by one, Zhuang Yao finally clicked on the [Communication Channel]:
“Announcement from Yu State’s National Guard Bureau: New players are asked to log off as soon as possible while ensuring the safety of their characters, log in to the official website of the Guard Bureau, or download the Guard Bureau App on their mobile phones, and register basic information. The Guard Bureau will provide unified training. Helping you get started with the game faster, outstanding players have the opportunity to obtain official membership of the Garrison, and member benefits are as follows..."

I remember that this game seems to have a panel...

After death, the character will go to Jangya Village, where he will definitely be controlled by the official identification, and he must survive!

Having made up his mind, Zhuang Yao quickly looked around and picked up a short knife hanging beside the bed.

etc! Something is wrong!

Ma hurriedly looked at his hands. They were thick, powerful, and covered with calluses. They looked like a pair of hands that had been working for many years. But what really surprised him was that these hands were black! It’s not dirty, it’s just black!

I actually turned into a big black guy!

Also, when this game first came out, it was true that there was no face-squeezing system, but this big boss is going too far, right? I can't stand this kind of skin color, okay? I don’t know if I can spend money to change the appearance...

While sighing, Ma hurriedly held on to the wall and approached the stairs not far away.

There was nothing I could do, the smell in this cabin was really unpleasant. The smell of rotten food, the faint smell of mold, and the fishy smell of dead fish all made people feel uncomfortable.

I've heard that this game has realistic effects, but I didn't expect it to be so real. The smell... Okay, I agree with your guess that this is a different world. What kind of technology can create such a complex smell?

I finally climbed onto the deck and saw a lot of people on the deck. Many people were walking around on the deck. Some were controlling the sail, as if they wanted to lower it, and some were using ropes to lift the ten sails on the deck. Several large boxes were tied up, and people were shouting something, but unfortunately they couldn't understand.

Without exception, these busy people all have dark skin, but they look very strong and healthy, and they are very powerful in doing things.

Looking at the vast sea again, Ma Xiujiu immediately understood the reason for their busyness. Far in front of the horizon, a large dark cloud was gathering, covering most of the sky. Thunderbolts could also be seen rolling in the clouds, accompanied by The howling wind came.

This is a storm!
Looking at the edge of the boat which was not too high, Ma quickly turned around decisively and returned to the cabin again.

There was no other way. With his current control over balance, if he stayed on the deck, he would probably slip into the sea if the bumps were too severe, let alone the coming storm.

If it smells bad, just make it smell bad. Although I heard that I can be resurrected, falling into the sea and drowning is still too painful. I'd better get through this and figure out what's going on first.

Away from the chopping board and barrel, Ma hurriedly sat down directly against the sacks, picked up the open bag, looked at it, touched it, and smelled it.

It can basically be confirmed that these should be grains, just a little damp and moldy, and there are some small insects.

This place...can't be the kitchen, right? Am I a cook? Do I have to eat food made from this kind of material in the future?
No way? No way?
Although I occasionally eat at roadside stalls in real life, which meal on weekdays costs less than 3,000 yuan? How can I eat this kind of thing?

Even if I die outside or jump from the boat, I won't eat these damn things!

Before he could sigh for a long time, the ship bumped even more violently.

Ma Chongxi felt as if he had been put into a hot washing machine, and the rapid drying mode was turned on, making his internal organs tremble wildly.

It was obvious that rain clouds had entered outside, and some rainwater could be seen pouring in through the door.

It was not possible to continue like this. Ma Xiu had no choice but to move as close to the wall as possible. He chewed on the stairs and the wall several times, grinning in pain. After a lot of effort, he finally closed the cabin door. . However, the increasingly violent bumps made him unable to bear it any longer, and he vomited all over the floor with a "wow" sound. A sour odor filled the air in an instant, making the smell in the small cabin even more unpleasant.

Mad, this game is not fun at all! This is so fucking disgusting! No gaming experience at all!
After vomiting twice more and feeling like his stomach was empty, Ma hurriedly came to the sack again and lay down, grabbing the sack to stabilize his body and make himself feel better.

Should I just quit? This is pure torture! But if I quit now, it’s still late at night, and the internet celebrity next to me doesn’t have much interest...

Forget it, let's stick to it... Well, let's summon a panel to take a look.

While looking at the game panel, I resisted the bumps. I don’t know how long passed. The shaking made the horse’s head dizzy. Finally, the bumps of the ship slowly weakened and finally became gentle.

After listening carefully for a while, and making sure that there was no more sound of raindrops hitting the wooden boards outside, Ma quickly stood up, opened the hatch and came to the deck again.

The salty sea breeze blows in the face with fresh air, and the sky outside is blue and clear.

However, before he could admire the scenery for a long time, there was a whirring sound coming from behind.

Turning his head, he saw a tall, strong, bald black man with a machete on his waist, who looked very tough.

Although I don't understand, judging from this guy's expression and the direction of his fingers, does he want to eat?
Ma De, since I was a child, I have had so many nannies at home to take care of me, but have I ever cooked a meal? Can your cooking skills be at least instant noodle level?
No matter how you look at this guy, he looks like he can't be beaten, but he still really doesn't want to go back to that disgusting cabin...

Just as Ma was hurriedly thinking of how to find an excuse to refuse, a piece of the deck not far away was opened, revealing a downward staircase. Several sailors walked down directly. Soon, several angry sounds came from below. shouting.

The bald black man next to him heard it, let go of the horse, and ran over immediately. Then he also shouted angrily, waving his hands and commanding something.

Soon, Ma hurriedly saw two black sailors carrying a white man who was wet, with his hands hanging down, and his shirtless body to the deck.

After sniffing the white man's breath, the bald black man shouted angrily, and finally pointed at the side of the ship angrily.

Without hesitation, the two sailors moved quickly and directly carried the white man to the edge of the ship, and then threw him directly.

One after another, black sailors walked down the stairs, and one after another, wet white people were carried up. There were men and women, all young, but unfortunately they were all thrown into the sea.

Is this... a slave ship?

Forget it, I can’t hear or understand this place, I can’t eat well, and I can’t escape. Let’s go to Jianya Village to eat hamburgers as the communication channel said.

The horse hurriedly stopped hesitating and jumped out into the vast sea amidst the exclamations of other sailors.

……

Liu Ruyan opened her eyes and found herself lying in a ruined temple.

Half of the clay Buddha statue next to it collapsed, the red paint on the surrounding pillars was all gone, and even half of the tiles on the roof were missing, making it a dilapidated scene.

Under her body, there was a large piece of dark blue cloth, separating her from the thick dust and moss on the ground. There was also a dagger over one meter long on the ground to her right. The small package was originally placed behind her head...

Is this the game "Ming Zun"? This is where? who I am? Why am I here? What should I do now? Why does this game have no hints at all?

Liu Ruyan's mind was filled with questions, but she still planned to stand up first. Unfortunately, just halfway up, a sharp pain came from her right rib. The pain made her stiffen and make her gasp.

Looking down, I saw a small cut in the clothes over there. The wound was covered with medicine, covered with a small piece of white cloth, and well bandaged.

What's going on? Why am I hurt? Looking at the blood stains on the white cloth and the feeling of pain, it's not that the ribs are broken, but more like being stabbed with a sword?
I just logged into the game, why is my character injured? It still hurts so much!
Just when Liu Ruyan was confused about the situation, slight footsteps came from outside the ruined temple. Then, a young man dressed in white, carrying two swords on his back, with a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes walked into the ruined temple.

He was also holding a lanky pheasant in his hand, which looked dead.

Seeing Liu Ruyan half sitting, the young man immediately came over, squatted down to support her, and said with concern in his voice: "Junior sister, how are you? Does it still hurt?"

The plot at the beginning was okay, just a bit painful, but the senior brother was quite handsome.

"Thank you for your concern, senior brother. I'm fine. Please help me up." Liu Ruyan has been in the financial industry for many years. She is well versed in the art of green tea and pretends to be strong.

"Hey, don't be anxious, it's important to recuperate!" Instead, the senior brother led Liu Ruyan to lie down: "I just hunted a pheasant, you should eat it first to replenish your body."

He stared into Liu Ruyan's eyes, his eyes full of tenderness: "Junior sister, don't worry, when I find the main force and kill those barbarians to avenge you, I will take you down the mountain! Find a medical center to treat you well. Heal, you should have a good rest these days."

Barbarian? What barbarian? Why do you want to take revenge first and then save me? Can't you send me down the mountain first? Does this senior brother love me or not? Straight man, so humble!
"I'm not in the way, senior brother, just feel free to do your work." He was puzzled and angry, but Liu Ruyan's tone did not contain the slightest grievance or complaint.

The senior brother was very satisfied with Liu Ruyan's answer. After letting go, he ran directly to the side, lit a bonfire, plucked the pheasant through the wood, sprinkled some seasonings on it, and started roasting it.

Soon, the smell of roast chicken filled the ruined temple, making Liu Ruyan unable to help but swallow her saliva.

Not long after, the pheasant was roasted. Although the color was not appetizing, it was full of aroma. The senior brother was not afraid of burning it, so he broke off a chicken leg and handed it over.

Liu Ruyan was not polite, thanked her, picked it up and started chewing.

I have to say that this pheasant meat is indeed not as tender and full of fat as the instant chicken in real life, but the brother's technique is good, and the roasting is not so hot, and there is still some gravy. It tastes quite chewy and the seasoning is just right. Not salty, not bland...

Soon, Liu Ruyan finished off the chicken legs, praised "Senior brother's craftsmanship is so good," and then took another set of chicken wings from his senior brother.

Suddenly, some voices came from outside the temple. It sounded like there were several people, and it was a bit chaotic.

"It's a barbarian!" The senior brother shouted softly and put out the bonfire with a slap of his palm.

Handing the wooden stick for roasting chicken to Liu Ruyan, his spine trembled as two long swords jumped into his hands.

"You stay here and don't move! I'll come as soon as I go!" Senior Brother's voice was decisive, and his movements were not slow, and he flew out of the yard.

Soon, the sound of fighting came from outside, various weapons collided, and the sounds of shouting and shouting could be heard endlessly. Unfortunately, Liu Ruyan's position was in a corner of the ruined temple. Due to the angle, it was really impossible to see outside the temple. I didn't know where it was. what's the situation.

Liu Ruyan could only endure the severe pain, holding on to the dagger next to her, and reluctantly stood up, trying to look outside.

However, she had only moved a few meters against the wall. Before she could get close to the door, a round object flew into the temple from the outside, bounced off the Buddhist altar, and landed at her feet.

It's my senior brother's head.

"what!!!"

……

Zhao Chuan opened his eyes with excitement.

I can actually enter a game world through sleeping!
Am I the protagonist of this world? How many wives should I marry and how many children should I have in the future...

While thinking about it, Zhao Chuan looked around. This was a dense forest, with trees everywhere he looked.

Fortunately, he was not alone. Not far in front of him, there were two strong men wearing animal skins and carrying broadswords or bows and arrows.

"Why are you so stunned? Keep walking!" Someone from behind patted Zhao Chuan on the back, making him startled.

It was also a man wearing an unknown gray animal skin, with a bamboo basket on his back and a long knife at his waist. He was still urging: "Hurry up and follow. The pursuit of those Nannu is getting tighter. We have to get rid of it as soon as possible." Drive them."

Although he didn't quite understand what he meant, Zhao Chuan quickly followed the people in front and followed them into the depths of the dense forest.

There were no roads in the forest, and there were orders not to chop down trees. Zhao Chuan was scraped by branches from time to time, but fortunately his body was strong and no scars were left, just a slight pain.

They just kept walking and walking for an unknown amount of time. Finally, the seven of them came across a stone path.

Unfortunately, this path has long been buried by weeds, and only some traces of its past can be seen.

There was a road to guide us, and the terrain was a little more open, so everyone went much faster.

After walking for a long time, Zhao Chuan ran out of patience and was about to ask. In the distance, he saw the eaves of a building.

A reminder from the leader soon came from the front: "Be careful! There is a building ahead! Stay in formation! Weapon alert!"

Not long after, Zhao Chuan and his party came to a small open space. In the center of the open space was a ruined temple buried by weeds. It looked very dilapidated.

"There is smoke! There is someone here! Everyone be on guard! Prepare to fight!" shouted the captain who was leading the way.

Is this about to fight? I’m not very familiar with my skills yet! Is this a monster or a BOSS? I am not prepared at all.

There were countless thoughts in his heart, but Zhao Chuan still followed the order, pulled out the long knife from his back, formed a formation like the others, and slowly approached the ruined temple.

Suddenly, a handsome man holding two swords flew out of the ruined temple.
