Chapter 251 Exchange

Captain Madara and Mr. Cat were looking at the game console.
At this time, the game characters were just a blurry flash in the eyes of ordinary people, but Captain Madara and Mr. Cat could capture the behavior of these characters in this high-frequency flash. Because the flow of time in the game is completely different from the outside world, Mr. Cat and Captain Madara only watched for a short ten minutes, but several days had passed in the game.
Captain Madara exclaimed, pointing at Sheng Shihua in the character list and said, "It hasn't been long since she appeared, and she's already at the highest level. That's pretty impressive."
"Although her health is rising very fast, she looks very dangerous now. She is already at low health." Mr. Cat stared at her low health bar. "She is fighting the BOSS."
"Wait, you said earlier that if someone dies in the game, their life in reality will also be in danger, right?"
"Yes, this possibility is very high."
"So you're trying to contact True?"
"I'm trying, but according to the current time difference between the game and reality, even if I contact him as quickly as possible, many days will have passed in the game." Mr. Cat said, staring at Sheng Shihua's health bar as he struggled in the low health range.
"you mean……"
"They can only hope for the best."
 
Sheng Shihua put down the axe and leaned against the wall vigilantly.
This is her fourth day in this gaming world.
"Xiao Sheng, come and eat something." Grandma Lin said in the house.
Xiao Sheng. Sheng Shihua didn't like this name. But Granny Lin was much older than her, so it seemed reasonable for her to call her that. But why did she have no sense of crisis about crossing over? Sheng Shihua was confused. In her opinion, this game world was full of dangers, and only by constantly improving one's own strength could one survive. Following the rules of the game and constantly upgrading was the way to survive.
But this old lady Lin seemed to be on vacation in the gaming world. She knew nothing about anything. Even if Sheng Shihua reminded her to upgrade, she just looked at her and said, "What are you talking about?" If you think about it carefully, after all, she is an old lady who has hardly ever played video games. This kind of ignorance is also normal.
Sheng Shihua was annoyed by this situation. She hated the old man's ignorance and freedom, and she couldn't instill in him what she thought was the right approach. When interacting with people, Sheng Shihua often felt anxious and constrained and unable to speak out. If she wasn't in this embarrassing situation, she might have parted ways with the old man long ago.
"Rabbit soup." Grandma Lin greeted her with a smile. Because Sheng Shihua had previously wiped out the rabbit family, her backpack was full of rabbits, and now it was just right to take them out as food.
Sheng Shihua ignored her. She walked out of the cabin and began to re-set the trap at the door. She didn't want to recall how she survived the first night. That night, the door was violently slammed, and the sound outside was like the low howl of a wild wolf. Then a sharp ugly claw came in from the crack of the door. Sheng Shihua rushed up and chopped it off with an axe. Amid sharp screams, the broken limbs fell at her feet, and greasy black blood flowed on the ground. She wanted to vomit, but more ugly claws continued to pull at the door, constantly trying to make the crack bigger. Every claw that dared to reach in was chopped off by Sheng Shihua with an axe. In the second half of the night, a monster tried to climb in through the window, and she cut open half of its body with an axe.
The monster lost its life amid the piercing screams and the sound of bones breaking. Sheng Shihua swung her axe and chopped the second monster that tried to crawl in. Again and again. She didn't remember how many times she chopped. Her axe cut into the monster's flesh and chopped its organs. Her body was covered with the dark and smelly blood of these monsters. Fortunately, the window was narrow and the door of this wooden house was stronger than expected. These monsters that wanted to come in either pried through the cracks in the door and were chopped by her claws, or drilled through the window one by one to welcome her axe.
A monster was cut in half by her and flipped into the room, but this time she cut it a little shallowly, and the injured and violent monster attacked her with its fangs and claws. At this time, Granny Lin, who had been hiding in the corner, suddenly took action. She hit the monster's back hard with the wooden stick in her hand and stepped on . In the moment when the monster was distracted, Sheng Shihua's axe hit its head and cut into its neck. Blood and minced meat splattered everywhere. She chopped and chopped, cut and cut until the monster became a pile of rotten meat and was completely motionless.
"It's dead." said Granny Lin.
"You are a wizard, that's not how you use your wooden staff." Sheng Shihua said, turning around and rushing towards the next monster that crawled in.
She didn't know how many monsters she had killed. By dawn, she was already level 13. During the upgrade process, she had invested all of her free skill points in attack power. After the first ray of sunlight appeared, the shattered bodies of the monsters on the ground turned into rising black mist and dissipated in the air. There was no incomplete body of a monster on the floor of the room or outside the house. The attack at night was like a nightmare.
The next day, she figured out the pattern of the monsters. When night falls, a large number of monsters will appear in this game world to attack the players. They are extremely ugly and weird, like wolves but not wolves, and are different from any beasts in the real world. At night, the players must hide in the house to resist the monsters. When dawn comes, the monsters will automatically disappear.
After the second night, she reached level 19, and once again focused all her free skill points on attack. Compared to the confused first night, she had more experience. She dug a hole outside the house and inserted sharpened branches as a trap to resist monsters. When a large number of monsters attacked at night, she was much more skilled and calm in killing. On the third day, she and Granny Lin explored the surrounding area, but no matter how they walked, they could not get out of the small forest. No matter which direction she went, she would eventually walk back to the original cabin.
It's like they're trying to trap me here on purpose.
Granny Lin was not flustered by this. Perhaps in her eyes, this was just a large-scale entertainment for young people. But Sheng Shihua felt extremely anxious. For a long time, whenever something deviated from her plan, she would be restless and unable to sleep. Fortunately, in the game world, just taking a short rest during the day can also restore physical strength, which is one of the few advantages of this world.
At this moment, Feifeilu was rubbing against her feet, and the small mushroom elf was following her closely. Granny Lin was inside the house, calling her to prepare for dinner.
Can't these losers see that she doesn't want to bother with them at all?
During the day, Granny Lin would often talk in her ear. Her most common phrase was "My granddaughter Mu Li should be about your age now." Sheng Shihua didn't want to know the story of this old lady and her granddaughter. Didn't she know that the most important thing right now was how to survive in this weird game world?
I can't be stuck in this little woods forever.
It was already the fourth day. Her level had reached level 24, and her attack power was no longer what it used to be. She easily killed all the small animals in the woods, but unfortunately they could no longer give her any experience points, and their corpses could only be used as food.
"Xiaosheng, you should take some rest." Granny Lin looked at her worriedly.
She ignored her and continued to drink the rabbit soup. Her exploration had failed again. Even though she had set up road signs along the way, she still walked back here in the end. Was there some condition that needed to be met? Sheng Shihua recalled the video games she had played when she was young. She must have missed some clues .
Feifeilu came over and rubbed her feet again. Although it was not bad for a cat to rub against people, it was still a bit annoying if it rubbed against people frequently. Granny Lin said, "Feifeilu just found a small wooden box in the haystack."
"A wooden box?"
This pile of grass was just a temporary mattress for Sheng Shihua to rest on, so she didn't deliberately look for it. Now it seems that this wooden box may be the important information she neglected. Granny Lin brought the small wooden box over, and Sheng Shihua tried to open it, and a line of words suddenly jumped out in front of her eyes.
[Requires the thief's lock picking skill]
Granny Lin said, "I tried, but it won't open."
Sheng Shihua pulled out an axe and smashed the wooden box. Bang, bang, bang! As Feifeilu and the mushroom elf trembled, she smashed the wooden box into pieces. A piece of paper lay among the pieces of the wooden box.
On the note was a line of blood-stained words: [They trapped us here. I buried Joe the day before yesterday, and I buried Elena yesterday. This should all be over. Turn right at the 21st tree, and I'm going to end everything there.]
Granny Lin asked her, "What's written on the note? I'm presbyopic and can't see clearly."
"Nothing is written on it." Sheng Shihua said coldly, and she put the note into her pocket. This kind of information is useless to a slow-moving useless mage.
“I saw some words on it.”
"There's not much information, it just means that there are monsters coming every night." Sheng Shihua sat down and drank all the remaining rabbit soup.
Then she began to check her status. Her HP had been restored by eating. Her axe had now been replaced with a finely crafted axe. It was dropped by a monster on the third night. This axe not only had stronger attack power than her original rough axe, but also had +2 attack and +8% critical strike attributes. Sheng Shihua immediately replaced it.
The bottle of initial recovery medicine in the backpack had not been used yet. After Sheng Shihua finished checking, he pushed the door and left the cabin.
She had just walked to the door when the mushroom elf followed her. "I'm just going to explore the area. Go check the traps and don't follow me," Sheng Shihua ordered.
The mushroom elf nodded obediently, moved its white and tender little feet, and ran towards the trap beside the house with a clattering sound.
Sheng Shihua turned and moved forward.
The cave is at the right turn of the 21st tree.
There must be a clue there to get out of this place.
Sheng Shihua clenched the axe in her hand. A cat, a mushroom spirit, and an old man who trembled when walking were just a bunch of useless trash. It was enough for her to explore alone.
She alone is enough.
She found the 21st tree, turned right and walked a few steps through the bushes. Soon she found a road she had never explored. At the end of the road was a cave. The cave was dark and deep, emitting a damp and cold air. She could feel something deep in the cave watching her.
I'm going there to end it all.
Sheng Shihua took a breath and stepped into the cave.
The passage in the cave was full of potholes, and she walked carefully with a lamp in hand. The old man would probably fall down once he entered this kind of passage, so it was indeed the right choice not to let the useless teammates follow him.
Occasionally, the sound of wind crackling from deep in the cave blew into her face. She quickened her pace.
She walked forward in the shadows, and then she saw a ball of blue fire. Behind the blue fire sat a giant beast about 3 meters tall. It was very similar to the monster that attacked every night, but it was much larger. It was like a ghost depicted in a nightmare.
A small stone rolled down from under her feet, making a clear sound deep in the cave.
Sheng Shihua stared at it so closely that she almost stopped breathing.
The beast was also staring at her. It had a pair of huge green-yellow pupils, emotionless, like the eyes of a snake.
"You found this place," it said, with the heavy breathing of a wild animal.
It can communicate. Maybe it can negotiate. Sheng Shihua said, "Is it because of you that I can't go out?"
"It is me and it is not me," said the beast. "Do you want to leave these woods?"
Sheng Shihua nodded.
The beast let out a low growl: "I can let you go. But you must offer food."
"I have food." Sheng Shihua thought of the rabbit in the backpack. If it wanted, she could give it all.
"What I want is the one behind you." The giant beast grinned, and saliva from its fangs dripped onto the ground.
Behind me?
A cat timidly stuck to the back of Sheng Shihua's legs. Sheng Shihua lowered her head and saw Feifeilu. The cat had followed her again without her knowing. It arched its back and bared its teeth at the giant beast.
"Give this little thing to me. I will let you go." said the giant beast.
Fifilu.
A cat that is insignificant to Sheng Shihua. It is a shameless and troublesome thing that often pops up to harass her.
It doesn't matter to Sheng Shihua whether there is this cat or not.
A cat of no importance.
"Give it to me, and you can leave." The beast said again. Sheng Shihua saw its level, it was level 55, more than twice her level. Its fangs glowed in the dim blue light. She saw the pile of white bones beside the beast. As long as she gave Feifeilu, she could leave, and it would turn into flesh and bones.
Two options popped up in front of her.
1. Give up Fifilu and gain freedom.
2. Refuse and fight the beast.
She is only level 24 now. It is obvious what choice to make.
"There is a town nearby with comfortable hotels and delicious restaurants. I know that's where you want to go. Hand it over in exchange for your freedom." The beast said while breathing.
Sheng Shihua said, "Feifeilu is Jingjing's cat."
She raised the axe, "You must be kidding, I'm not giving it to you!!"
The battle began in an instant.
She didn't have time to think, she just swung her axe and chopped. The beast was much stronger than the monsters that attacked at night. It slammed Sheng Shihua against the cave wall with one claw, and she heard the sound of her ribs breaking. She jumped up and continued to chop with the axe. Her HP was dropping, but her anger bar was soaring. At this moment, her axe strikes were glowing red, like a weapon extracted from flames. With every strike, she could hear the beast's furious roar.
The beast's stinking blood splashed on her body and eyes. Blurry red lights flashed before her eyes. Her back ached constantly, and one of her legs had lost consciousness. Her chest and abdomen were also torn apart by the beast's claws. But she could see that the beast's health bar was decreasing, and her attack was not ineffective.
Jingjing, the child who always wanted to get close to her. She was pitiful and cute in her eyes. She was the trouble she was forced to endure, she was the fate she didn't want to face, she was her...
But no matter what, she had no right to take Jingjing's cat away.
No one can take away Jingjing's things.
Her HP has been reduced to 2. She is about to die. But she can still give the monster one last blow with her axe.
Blood choked her throat. Sheng Shihua gasped for breath. The pungent stench of the beast's blood made her dizzy. She was almost unconscious from the pain all over her body. Everything was about to end. No, she could still strike again...
Suddenly the cave began to shake violently.
Large chunks of rubble fell down.
Sheng Shihua's eyes were completely blurred with red. When she wiped the blood off her eyes, she found that the giant beast was pinned down by the rubble. It howled at her but could not move an inch.
A nervous voice reached her ears.
"I seem to have suppressed it." Granny Lin said, holding up her staff, "but it won't last long."
Sheng Shihua stood up slowly.
After these few nights, she had always thought that this useless mage was still the same as the first day, but this was obviously a mistake. "Because of you, I also gained some experience and leveled up." Granny Lin explained.
Sheng Shihua felt her calves cramping and her body seemed to be falling apart. But she couldn't relax at this moment. She used up her last bit of strength to lift the axe and chopped at the chest of the beast. More blood spurted out. The beast screamed until Sheng Shihua chopped its heart. Then, the beast exploded, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Sheng Shihua's hair and clothes were covered with blood.
Then, accompanied by a loud bang, a huge crack split the cave and slowly opened up in front of Sheng Shihua and Grandma Lin. They saw the sky, trees and a new road leading to the horizon.
Dust from the cracking of the stones fell like rain.
Sheng Shihua collapsed on the ground and coughed. Granny Lin came to her side and said with concern: "Thanks to the mushroom elf for bringing me here. You are injured and need to bandage the wound!"
Her voice was nervous and accusing, which reminded her of her husband Wei Hongzhuo. They had just met at that time. She was three hours late for a date, and he also yelled at her in the same nervous and accusing tone.
"Ah? The health bar is full again!!"
Because the giant beast died, I upgraded again, Sheng Shihua thought. The severe pain in her body was receding. The mushroom elf carefully crawled to her side and kissed her. The sticky blood and dust on her body turned into a hazy white mist and disappeared.
Oh, so this is the use of mushroom essence. Never mind, it's better than nothing.
Suddenly, a new interface appeared in front of her eyes . On it was a transparent heart-shaped icon. After a flash of red light, the bottom of the heart-shaped icon turned red. The narrator said in a cheerful tone: [The progress of the princess's wish is currently 12%. Please continue to work hard! ]
What was the princess's wish? She slowly stood up. It looked like they could finally leave this damned forest.
 
Captain Ban said: "Sheng Shihua's health bar is full! Wow, he has leveled up 5 times in one go, that's amazing!"
"It looks like we have defeated the mini-boss." Mr. Cat said, "Sheng Shihua is currently the highest-level player character in the game. Aside from the mage who teamed up with her to gain experience and level up, the levels of the other players are so low that it's unbearable to look at them."
"If I'm not mistaken, Octopus Xiaozhen and Liu Xingquan are both level 1." Captain Ban shouted, "What are these two doing!?"
Mr. Cat looked at it and said, "These two people are mining."
"What?"
“Well, they are addicted to mining to make money.”
