Chapter 28 Choosing a Superpower
In the projection, a white little man made a face at another cyan little man, and then angry ╬ symbols appeared above the heads of both men.
[Empathy Negotiation Expert]: Make faces at the target to make both parties angry.
"What kind of negotiation expert is this?"
Shi Li didn't know how to complain.
Superpowers vary in strength and weakness, and their side effects also vary.
Whoever draws this [Empathy Negotiation Expert] will definitely be unlucky.
Draw another card and a new projection will appear.
The little white man inside ran very fast, running around the empty space several times.
But after he stood still, he covered his ankle and screamed, then walked with a limp.
[Wind Messenger]: After accelerating for a period of time, gain the same amount of gout time
"I think he should be called the Gout Messenger."
He heard that gout is extremely painful.
It seems that in addition to the distinction between strong and weak superpowers, there is also a distinction between serious and informal superpowers.
[Strange Kidnapper]: Obtain a space that can permanently imprison the target, but must bear the weight of the imprisoned party.
"Even if it's a level 10 player, he'll probably be unable to move after turning two or three targets."
[Red Eye Lock]: When you look at the target, both of you lock your eyes.
"Control the enemy while controlling yourself. If you don't have teammates, it will be easy for others to take advantage of you."
[Moon Power]: Physical strength is greatly enhanced when exposed to moonlight.
"This looks good, but I don't know if there is moonlight in the dungeon."
[Heavenly Eyes]: Gain a free God's eye view, but lose the ability to move during this period
"It's a very flawed superpower, but it's very convenient for investigation."
After previewing each of the super powers, he felt unsatisfied.
Either the ability is not strong enough, or the side effects are too great.
I looked at more than 30, but only two caught my eye.
[Anti-hypoxia physique]: After holding your breath for more than 10 seconds, your physique will be greatly enhanced.
In the projection image, the little white man's face turned red, and he was able to break the stone slab with one punch. He looked quite powerful.
After trying it on the spot, the LV2 player's physical fitness was enhanced, allowing him to hold his breath for nearly 3 and a half minutes in a static state.
If it is a strenuous exercise state, it can only last for about 1 minute.
[Insight]: After touching the target, you can learn about its superpower information.
In the projection image, the white man patted the green man on the shoulder, and then a light bulb pattern representing "enlightenment" popped up above his head.
This superpower is also quite practical.
In a war of superpowers, intelligence is of paramount importance.
If you know the side effects of the other party, it will be easy to develop a restraining plan.
However, as mentioned before, Shi Li didn't know whether the main target of this dungeon was the players or the dungeon creatures, or whether there was no battle at all.
What's more, he felt that among the 50 super powers in front of him, it was possible that other contestants would draw one.
As long as you preview them all yourself, you may be able to grasp a lot of information.
"Huh?"
When he touched the last few cards, Shi Li was suddenly stunned.
[Give money to change your fate]: Spend LVx250 cubic coins to draw an extra super power (only once), and spend LVx250 cubic coins to revive in the copy.
"Haha, there is actually such a superpower."
I have to say, this superpower is really powerful.
He is now at LV2. Purchasing an extra superpower costs 500 cubic coins, and resurrecting once also costs 500 cubic coins.
You should know that the total assets of an average LV2 player will not exceed 1,000 cubic coins.
But Shi Li's current total net worth is 2000+, and after drawing an extra superpower, there are still 1500+ left.
In other words, you can purchase three resurrection opportunities, which greatly improves the fault tolerance rate.
It has to be said that being low level also has its advantages. For an average LV10 player, after deducting all expenses, it would be good enough to have a savings of around 5,000.
That's only enough to buy a super power + 2 resurrections.
"It's only 2,000 cubic coins. The first prize is 15,000 yuan, so I made 13,000 yuan for nothing."
"Why not?"
Shi Li took a picture of the card without hesitation.
Buzz!
The [? ] card turned into light and merged into his body.
[Congratulations, you have gained super powers - Krypton Gold Changes Destiny]
[Would you like to spend 500 cubic coins to draw an extra super power?]
"If that rich little Slime draws this superpower, she will be invincible."
Mumbling to himself, he chose "Buy".
Then the previous words were repeated again in the pure white space.
[Please select 1 card as the super power of this copy]
[After everyone has selected their superpowers]
[99 players will get serial numbers and enter the dungeon]
However, this time, no new【？】cards appeared. The 50 cards were still there, and nothing changed.
Excluding the [Pay Gold to Change Your Fate] that has already been selected, there are 49 cards left.
Shi Li had already previewed the remaining 49 photos, so he made his choice quickly.
For an extra superpower, take [Anti-hypoxia Constitution].
[Superpower selection completed, please enter your code name for this operation]
"Codename..."
This question made him think.
…
There are sofas on the left and right of the viewing box.
Director Xiu and Secretary He sat face to face.
However, they couldn't see each other because they were wearing goggle-like holographic glasses.
A remote control handle, held in hand.
It allows them to watch the dungeon game from a free God's perspective.
"Director, why hasn't the competition started yet..."
Secretary He was getting a little impatient waiting.
You should know that he has participated in this type of competition several times.
It’s nothing more than going in, choosing a super power card, and then filling in a code name.
It was over in less than 3 minutes.
However, 20 minutes had passed since the staff notified the start of the game.
As a result, inside the holographic glasses, I was still waiting for the picture.
“It may be a technical problem.”
Director Xiu also had no answer.
But just as she finished her words, she suddenly saw a flash of the screen.
“Here it comes!”
Secretary He immediately became excited.
The copy of the scene appeared in the holographic glasses.
"Huh?" x2
However, just three seconds later, they were both stunned at the same time.
"The first contestant to be eliminated has appeared?!"
“So fast!”
…
【Ding Dong! 】
[Princess, OUT! ]
[Princess, OUT! ]
Shi Li had just stood still and had not had time to check the surrounding situation when he heard the broadcast.
Who is the princess? She was eliminated too quickly.
While complaining in his heart, he began to look around.
I found myself in a closed prison cell.
A simple table and chairs.
There were some dry food on the table and a bucket of drinking water next to it.
The dry food looked as if it had been there for some time, and there were one or two tiny ants crawling on it.
The drinking water at the corner of the table was a bit turbid, with unknown sediment suspended in it.
“…”
The conditions here are visibly bad, but Shi Li knows there is nothing that can be done about it.
Although people can survive three days without food or water, they are also poker players.
However, considering the large amount of exercise that is likely to occur, it is definitely not possible to do without replenishing energy and water.
With a limp body, he can't beat other competitors.
"It's okay, just make do with it."
He said it didn't matter.
Anyway, once you get out of the copy, everything in your body will be back to normal, so there is no need to worry about getting sick from eating.
"It is said that it can be viewed in the dungeon. Let's take a look at the mission introduction first."
Sitting on the dirty and smelly mattress, he opened the task panel.
[Introduction to this copy mission]:
As an alien with superpowers, you are imprisoned in a completely enclosed ancient temple.
If you want to escape from the ancient temple, you must open its door.
The gate of the ancient temple is sealed by a powerful super power. If you want to break the seal, you must use the seal-breaking spell.
The compatriots outside have used secret methods to transmit the spell into the temple.
But in order to avoid attracting the attention of the guards, all the spells were scattered and thrown.
Moreover, each spell has the ability to move and hide autonomously, and may appear anywhere in the ancient temple at any time.
Your task is to collect as many spells as possible within 3 days.
The more spells are collected and released, the weaker the gate seal will become.
Please feel free to act. Due to the curse of the ancient temple, the guards here cannot kill you.
However, be careful of other prisoners with ulterior motives.
“This introduction is so long.”
After reading it, Shi Li frowned slightly.
Fortunately, there are specific points listed below the introduction.
[After 3 days, the top 32 people who cast the most spells will advance]
[The spell is randomly refreshed at any time in the ancient temple]
[Ancient Temple Guards cannot eliminate players]
[Players can eliminate each other]
This is the end of the copy introduction.
"Only contestants can eliminate contestants. Does that mean the 'Princess' was eliminated by other contestants?"
But he thought about it and felt that it was not right.
Logically speaking, everyone should be locked up in a cell like me.
The copy had only just begun for less than 10 seconds, it was impossible for anyone to act that quickly.
So... could it be suicide?
"Forget it. What I should be more concerned about now is how to get out."
He knew that the collection of spells was definitely not done in this small cell .
Stand up and start looking again.
This time he even checked the ceiling. Of course there was nothing on the ceiling, but he saw a floating number above his head: 99.
"Is it because I was the last one to choose superpowers?"
He smiled .
Finally, his eyes fell on the door of the cell.
A sealed metal door with a small window through which you can see a bit of the outside scenery.
The passage made of ancient large stones is quite spacious, as wide as a road, but the light is quite insufficient.
The oil lamp on the wall is the light source. The flame sways gently as it burns, making the light and shadow float.
The field of view was too narrow, and he couldn't see any human figures. He didn't know whether the guards mentioned in the mission brief were nearby.
At this moment, shouts were suddenly heard in the passage.
"Hello! Is anyone there? Help! I'm claustrophobic!"
"Are you also imprisoned? No one told me that I would be locked up in a cell before entering the dungeon!"
"Did anyone drink the water in the cell? My stomach hurts!"
"Stop arguing, just figure out a way out yourself!"
"Let me out! This isn't fair!"
Several different voices echoed in the corridor.
It seems that quite a few contestants are locked up next door.
"Break the door violently?"
Shi Li did not join in the shouting, but looked at the door.
So I held my breath for 10 seconds, and my [anti-hypoxia physique] immediately took effect, and I felt full of strength all of a sudden.
He took two steps back and kicked hard.
Buzz!
As a result, as soon as the sole of the foot touched the door panel, a blue light beam suddenly shot down from the sky.
"PVE scenario?"
Shi Li was already very familiar with this scene.
Sure enough, the blue light spread quickly and formed a card table in front of him.
But this time the card table is very unique.
You have 3x3 card slots, while the opponent only has one card slot.
call out……
Before he could figure it out, a puff of white smoke came out of the metal door.
The white smoke fell on the single tablet, forming a shadow.
【clang clang clang! 】
This is a metallic genie-like thing.
Its eyes were lifeless, but it looked as if it was blocking anyone from moving forward.
“There’s actually such a setting?”
Shi Li raised his brows when he saw the card.
【Lock the Demon】
Firm, attack 0, ∞/∞, 0/999
[Passive Code 1]: When the Locker is attacked by a card from the left column, Energy +100
[Passive Code 2]: When the Locker is attacked by a card from the middle row, Energy +10
[Passive Code 3 - Passive]: When the Locker is attacked by a card from the right column, the Energy is +1.
[Unlock - Passive]: After the action phase, when the Locker reaches the specified energy value, the game ends. If the energy value is full, the energy value will be reset to 0
【?-passive】:?
Obviously, this is a combination lock presented in the form of a card game.
You need to use the left-middle-right attack method to keep trying the correct unlocking password.
"From 001 to 998, there are 998 possible permutations. It will take a long time to open it."
He could already imagine how overwhelmed the other players would be when faced with this game.
Fortunately, with the experience of fighting the BOSS in the previous copy, Shi Li was not afraid of this thing.
His eyes fixed, and under the [Absolute Card Sense], the [? - Passive] began to gradually emerge.
[Correct Password - Passive]: The correct password for this lock is 631
…
In the viewing box, Director Xiu and Secretary He's eyes were fixed on Shi Li.
Because there are only two representatives from their card hall who can enter this copy.
They are Shili and Slime.
Slime has been eliminated.
That’s right, it was the princess who was eliminated in seconds at the beginning.
So now Shi Li is the only one left in their card hall.
"Password lock magic, this thing is quite time-consuming."
The show manager zoomed out and took a quick look, and saw that almost 80% of the players had already started unlocking at the table.
"Yeah, the password for this thing is different for each game. It's completely random."
"And it's not part of the PVE story, time and space won't be paused."
"It will probably take them a lot of time just to unlock it."
Secretary He echoed.
"Well, I guess whoever unlocks it first will have a big advantage in this game."
Director Xiu nodded, and just as he manipulated the view to return to Shi Li, he heard a crisp sound.
Click!
The game was over and the lock was opened.
"Eh?" x2
