Please ask the dream.

Chapter 144 Embark on a journey

"You need more than just supplies? What else do you need?"

Feng Xue perked up while savoring the meaning of the opening remarks. However, what appeared before his eyes was no longer the fishbone diagram that resembled an integrated strategy.

Although the general framework is still the structure of san value at the top, legacy/dream on both sides, and dice and collections at the bottom, there is only a lonely node in the center——

【Start your journey】

"Tsk, anyway, click and take a look."

Feng Xue did not hesitate for too long and clicked on the node. However, unlike the previous pigeon, this time the pigeon did not give any prompts. As the picture slowly unfolded, a deck of cards that looked longer than poker cards was shuffled in front of his eyes. Then, three cards flew out of the stack of cards and unfolded in front of Feng Xue one by one. At this time, the ethereal and cold voice of Gold Finger also sounded.

【Traveler into the wilderness, choose your path. 】

"Tarot cards..." Looking at the three cards, Feng Xue's eyes twitched. Tarot cards didn't matter, but the problem was that these three cards were [Tower], [Devil] and [Hermit].

"The [Tower] symbolizes destruction, the [Devil] symbolizes temptation, and the hermit symbolizes exploration..." Feng Xue was very fortunate at this moment. In his previous life, he had been obsessed with the Lord of Mysteries, and by the way, he learned about Tarot cards.

The three cards in front of me are all upright, and I cannot yet tell whether this system is just a simple card system or includes an upright and reversed system.

But no matter what, the card [Tower], which has no good meaning whether it is upright or reversed, must not be chosen. The upright position of [Devil] has a series of negative interpretations such as being restrained, sick, and corrupted. Therefore, no matter whether this system has an upright or reversed position, the upright [Devil] and [Tower] are not good choices.

"Is the only option I can choose [Hermit]?" Feng Xue sighed, recalling the meaning of the [Hermit] card in his mind, and made his own choice.

As the [Hermit] card was selected, the other two cards returned to the deck, and next to the [Hermit] card that was gradually approaching, a line of text appeared:
[People who know how to hide themselves are often good at seeing through secrets, which forces them to learn to enjoy solitude. ]

"No, can we please explain it more clearly? I hate the Riddler the most!"

Feng Xue felt sick when he saw this line of text, but considering that this was a new mechanism after all, he patiently observed the node selection page.

Unlike the previous game, although there are many choices, they are essentially simulating the growth of their predecessors. What appears on the selection interface at this time is a radioactive picture. Surrounding the dimmed [Embark on the Journey] node, there are eight nodes to be selected. Among these nodes, there are unexpected encounters, emergency operations, and of course, intertwined dreams that come at the wrong time.

"Fuck, it's good to have a store when you're broke!"

Looking at this radioactive menu, Feng Xue read them one by one, and then he understood the meaning of [Hermit].

Because whether it is an unexpected encounter or a combat node, a vague prompt will pop up when he focuses his attention.

For example, the prompt for [Emergency Operation] at the nine o'clock position is [Scattered bones are waiting for salvation], while the prompt for [Unexpected Encounter] at the six o'clock position is [Bursts of birdsong were heard in the distance]. "So-called seeing through secrets means being able to get information about nearby nodes? Well, there may be other abilities, such as seeing through maze passages, or even seeing through gambling nodes. As for the enjoyment of loneliness... I don't know if it's a literary description or some negative effect. Judging from the nature of this broken golden finger, it's probably the latter."

Feng Xue muttered secretly in his heart, but scanned each node in turn. Except for the store where goods were for sale, the remaining seven nodes were three ordinary operations, two emergency operations, and two unexpected encounters.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Xue still clicked on the normal combat. Although it is said that "if you don't fight emergency in the early stage, you will be hit by emergency in the later stage", this is his first time to explore this new meat pigeon. Fighting a few ordinary nodes will help him understand the strength of this meat pigeon.

If the strength is too overwhelming, he thinks it would be better for him to go back and kill the prison pigeons first, and save up some magical equipment before challenging it again.

The three common operations are [You hear a noise in the bushes], [The tree trunk seems to move], and [You see a car parked on the road].

After brief consideration, Feng Xue chose the third one which seemed to be more interactive.

There was no prompt, nor the kind of loading state that went dark in front of the eyes. The line of sight switched at the moment of selection. On the Gobi Desert dotted with rocks and weeds, a shabby-looking off-road vehicle abruptly stopped not far away, and a line of text popped up in front of Feng Xue.

[In the wilderness, cars are very rare. Unfortunately, it seems that someone got there before you. You are so arrogant that you don't intend to communicate with them, but your arrogance has obviously aroused their vigilance.]

"Oh, no, why am I so arrogant!" Feng Xue grinned and wanted to complain, but the frozen picture had already been rendered, and before he could open his mouth, three pistols were pointed at him.

"Zhao!" Feng Xue is not the kind of person who would not fight back. Since the enemy has already picked up a weapon, he naturally will not hesitate.

With a flick of his toes, a large piece of pebbles mixed with sand was lifted up, and his body suddenly moved sideways. Although it was just an ordinary lateral movement, the reason why it can be used as a basic step in assassination is that humans can easily lose their lateral vision when aiming at a target.

After dodging a round of bullet attacks, Feng Xue immediately rushed forward. The feeling of his fingers crushing his Adam's apple came back to him, and he suddenly missed the pencil a little. Now he didn't even have a pointed thing in his hand, and it would be really uncomfortable to fight!

Reaching out to pick up the submachine gun held by the corpse, Feng Xue hid his body behind the corpse and raised his hand to fire a round of shots.

It is worth mentioning that these enemies obviously had basic tactical skills. The moment Feng Xue grabbed the gun, they began to make evasive moves and look for cover.

Although this is not worth mentioning for Feng Xue, who has twenty years of experience as a killer, it has already surpassed most of the enemies in the first two levels of the original meat pigeon node!
After accurately hitting the enemy hiding behind the car with a ricochet bullet, Feng Xue finally had the time to take a look at his own outfit.

At this time, he was wearing a suit of the same style as the bulletproof suit and canvas shoes with the logo of the Honeycomb Prison on his feet. But when Feng Xue touched it, he knew that this suit was just the same style and did not have a bulletproof fiber lining, not to mention the long-range reduction of the bulletproof suit.

"Not only Yan Mo Hu, but also the cardboard and harmonica in his arms were not brought in... It seems that they are not imitating reality, but generating a 'model' with roughly the same visual effect?"
