Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 8: The Lantern of Suffering
Hydra?
And looking at the nine cute big heads in front, they are most likely Ding Zhen.

Yuan Qingzhuo's smile froze. He thought for a moment, then slowly opened the forum and flipped through the strategy manual that Hydra had posted earlier.

[Hydra: In addition, our "Peak" team will gather together to conquer the world's difficulty! We will also post and share the strategy after conquering it! ]

This is the peak?

It sounds so awesome, but in the end I was the only one who wiped them out. How about you guys trying to capture the Bull Demon?

And why are they all so creative in appearance except Hydra?

Now the case is solved. The answer to why Hydra doesn’t help his teammates in battle is that he’s a team socialite!

But that’s not the problem now.

Yuan Qingzhuo took a deep breath and stared at the two words in silence.

suffering.

The level of "The Burial of King Hibiscus" that he was currently in was actually at the hardship level!

But after staying there for a whole day, Yuan Qingzhuo didn't notice anything wrong with this world at all...except for the top team that just came and lost three heads.

Yuan Qingzhuo took out the brand new Hibiscus King from his pocket and asked Hydra, who was lying motionless beside him, "Is this rotten?"

He is asking me questions.

The last communication was not accidental!
In other words, he might not have to be killed by this big boss and waste a precious resurrection item.

That’s right, an extremely precious resurrection item.

In "Fairy Tale!", players who conquer other difficulty worlds have the opportunity to start over again and again, but the more times they start over, the lower their evaluation will be.

But [suffering] is different.

The world of suffering difficulty is equivalent to the player's life, which cannot be skipped or repeated.

Even a top-notch team like Peak needs to piece together four resurrection items before they dare to start exploring the new land.

Hydra's nerves suddenly tensed up.

Because she was right at the 50% erosion level boundary, whether she could understand what Yuan Qingzhuo said depended entirely on luck, and vice versa.

This time she was lucky and understood the last four words of the sentence.

Holding up something that looked like charcoal slag, he asked me if it was rotten.

Is this some new kind of compliance test?

The bright red snake tongue gently touched the top of Hibiscus King, and Hydra received the message from Hibiscus King.

So she nodded repeatedly.

So, the reason lies in oneself.

Yuan Qingzhuo, who got the answer, opened the essential post [About Corrosion Degree: What You Must Know] in the forum and quickly browsed through it. The more he read, the more strange his expression became.

Most people will be transformed into demons if the rate is above 30%. If the rate is higher than 70%, anyone who is human will lose all sense of self.

Then I am not human.

Yuan Qingzhuo smoothly accepted this point of view and looked around at the scene - is this world real or fake?
Are all the people I have met and communicated with since I woke up real or fake?
It’s so complicated, I feel like I need to grow my brain.

It's such a small matter, it doesn't matter.

Compared to this, Yuan Qingzhuo was more curious about how the system's recollection post wrote about the battle just now.

After all, the team he just fought with was the famous top team in the bar.

It would be bad if it was boxed.

【BBS user 114514: There was not even a moment to mourn the death of the White-haired Supreme. The one who immediately rushed to the battlefield was the magic girl Pinhong holding the divine light cannon! I stood at the door and shouted that Ding Zhen was here. I fought with the remaining magic girls, Snow Leopard and Little Pony Pearl to the edge of the town, and even the main road was wiped out. 】

【Post Bar User 114514: Finally, I succeeded in conquering my well-behaved pony Pearl! She became Ding Zhen Pearl. 】

The BYD system is quite talented, and it knows how to combine the real and the virtual without exposing personal information.

Most of the comments below are like soybeans running a marathon - sweating.

However, there are also people who post "Platinum of money, unable to sleep at night, update quickly!" Yuan Qingzhuo's evaluation of these people is really hungry.

Hungry people are not selective about what they eat. Opening the collection panel, Yuan Qingzhuo is ready to see if he can add a point first.

The battle just now seemed easy, but in fact his body had almost reached its limit.

If Hydra hadn't been slacking off, it would be a question whether he could still be standing here intact.

I have to thank Miss Hydra for not killing me. In return, I will leave you aside for a while.

Looking at Hydra who agreed without saying a word, Yuan Qingzhuo was really moved.

My sea is great, no need to say more!

Panel - Start!
Yuan Qingzhuo raised his eyebrows. It was the first time he saw a collection with a gold mark on its name.

Shipped.

【First time adding fine】

[——Recognition from the forum owner. ]

[Reward: Lantern of Suffering. ]

[No.008]

【Lantern of Suffering】

[Effect: Immediately gain 5000 candle points, there is a hidden power that has not yet been unleashed]

[A shabby old lantern with a dim candlelight that seems to be about to go out at any time.

——Into this lamp, I throw myself, light it, and bear the suffering of thousands of people. 】

Including the accumulation from before, Yuan Qingzhuo already had a total of 5300 candles.

Candlelight, as one of the important resources in "Fairy Tale!", its main purpose is actually very simple.

Experience.

Upgrading requires candlelight, and changing jobs also requires a lot of candlelight. In addition to this, there are often strange tasks in high-difficulty worlds that require candlelight.

In fact, Yuan Qingzhuo can now use candlelight to upgrade himself.

It only takes 1 candle points to upgrade from level 2 to level 50 and you can get 2 free attribute points. It’s really profitable!

You are right, but it is mentioned in [Hydra's Strategy Manual - Notes for Newbies] that after changing jobs, even if you change to a worst-of-the-best [Passerby] job, you can still get at least 3 free attribute points.

Not to mention the various noble orthodox and hidden professions.

Although he did not get the attribute points he wanted from the collection, Yuan Qingzhuo was reluctant to spend 50 candlelight to upgrade himself and increase his physical fitness.

Never mind, just bear with the pain and it will pass.

Yuan Qingzhuo's idea is a typical hamster miser's idea of ​​spending the winter.

Humph, tomorrow I will change my job to become a magic dog with Dark Mist in my left hand and Holy Light in my right hand!

The Fagou is considered to be a profession with high potential and promotion channels in "Fairy Tale!"

Oh no, that's not right, how can it be called a magic dog? It should be called a magic master. The magic master in our "Fairy Tale!" is a master!

At that time, he would pretend to be a small, fragile ranged warrior who could only cast fireballs, and then wait until the enemy finally came to him after much difficulty, and then he would show his martial arts master's strength to the opponent.

While thinking about this, Yuan Qingzhuo discovered that the [Lantern of Suffering] in the collection column was glowing faintly.

What is this? Click it.

An old lantern appeared out of nowhere in Yuan Qingzhuo's hand, and the flickering candlelight in the semi-transparent lampshade illuminated his dazed and pale face.

The collection given by the system is not cyber data. Can it be obtained in reality?

Yuan Qingzhuo slowly raised the heavy lantern in his hand, and his sight extended to the range illuminated by the dim firelight.

Suddenly, he froze in place.

I couldn't help laughing.

It’s so numb, this “untapped hidden power” is really hidden too deeply!
