…
"No normal person would be able to complete this game without cheating!"
Roger protested slightly.
However, Pandora's voice only rang in his ears once.
Then it disappeared.
Roger knew it was not Pandora herself who was speaking.
Most likely it's just a little Easter egg set in the game.
…
"But since Pandora has taken this countermeasure, it shows that things like El's lenses were quite common during the era when the God Game was more popular..."
"Otherwise, there would be no need for Him to do this."
Roger captured a piece of information that he didn't know whether it was useful or not.
Back to the matter itself.
Although what Pandora said was very unpleasant to hear.
But Roger had no reason to object.
After all, he did pass the level by cheating.
So he decisively gave up the appeal.
And after completing the art of dressing.
At least he was qualified to enter the hall.
This means that the difficult problem of the entanglement between the two historical worlds has at least found a breakthrough in its solution.
Roger felt much calmer.
He was in no hurry to enter the hall.
Instead, he set his sights on the second game.
"Since we are here, it would be unreasonable not to take a share of the treasure..."
Thinking so.
He clicked on the "Shipwreck Simulator".
As described in the game description.
After entering the game.
Roger's vision was filled with a dark grid.
Then four options appeared before him:
…
New Game
…
Continue Game
…
Reading a Save
…
Exit Game
…
Roger was quite impressed by the simple game style.
The two middle options cannot be selected.
There is no such thing as settings either.
He could only click on the new game.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You have entered the God game 'Shipwreck Simulator'.
…
Do you want to start character creation?
…
Step 1.
Please select a character card——"
…
On the character selection screen.
There are a total of four options before Roger.
They are "Sailor", "Girl", "Chef" and "Labrador"
There is not much explanation on the ID card.
Only a rough description -
…
"Sailor: An experienced cargo ship sailor with extensive knowledge of the ocean. Therefore, his professionalism may help you survive better in your exile after a shipwreck."
…
"Girl: A young and ignorant girl, exuding the breath of sunshine. She is optimistic and cheerful, the type that everyone will like, maybe including God?"
…
"Chef: A fat chef. His bigger body means he needs to consume more food every day. But he happened to be in the kitchen before the shipwreck. Maybe he can get some extra benefits?"
…
"Labrador: As you can see, it's just a dog. Why not give it a try? Maybe a dog is more likely to survive this kind of accident than a human?"
…
Roger looked back and forth among the four options.
His eyes were full of suspicion.
The first three options are fine.
What the hell is the 4th character card?
Want to play the role of a dog and wander the sea?
This doesn't make sense at all!
No normal person would choose to become a dog.
But consider that this is a game made by Pandora.
Roger couldn't help but wonder if the fourth character card was the password to the level - after all, this god seemed to have his own unique way of thinking.
The “art of dressing” already reflects this.
…
"Maybe this isn't a serious text adventure game!"
Roger pondered for a moment.
Follow the prompts when entering the game.
He can create up to three files.
The files do not interfere with each other.
Even simultaneously.
When a normal person opens a file, he will usually exclude the only non-human guy.
Roger thought it would be better for him not to do this for the time being.
What if Pandora has set up some trap here ?
so.
He decided to take it one step at a time.
Consider Pandora's gender.
For the first file, he chose the girl.
…
"Tip: You chose the girl, your character's luck increases by 3
…
Background story loading...
…
You come from the coastal city of White Sail Port.
Your father was a sailor who traveled the seas.
Your mother passed away many years ago and you were raised by your grandmother.
You are an optimistic, cheerful and sunny girl. You are always positive and have the ability to infect everything. Girls like you who always smile are more likely to be blessed by God, so you always get good luck every time you go out.
…
recently.
You boarded the Moonlight Queen at your father's invitation for a trip.
After boarding the ship, he excitedly tells you that the captain of the Moonlight Queen has found the exact location of the legendary Moonlight Island, and their destination is exactly to go to that mysterious place where time and space intersect.
There is such a legend on the sea.
If the ship can find Moonlight Island.
Then people who land on the island may gain the power to travel through time and space.
They will see the people or things they most want to see on the island.
It is also possible that they will become immortal and become gods.
…
It was during this conversation with your father that you learned that your father had not returned for many years because he was desperately looking for Moonlight Island at sea. He longed to travel through time and space in order to see your mother who had died many years ago again...
You are moved by your father's obsession, and you decide to search for the legendary Moonlight Island with him.
What a pity.
When you arrived near the coordinates of Moonlight Island, a sudden shipwreck shattered your and your father's beautiful dream...
When you wake up.
You have only a small boat and the following three things:
…
Please select (choose 3 from 9)
…
Compass: Experienced sailors can use this to determine the direction
…
5 rations: Normal people consume one ration per day, and in extreme cases, half a ration can barely sustain life
…
Freshwater Stone: A stone with mysterious magic that can purify one liter of seawater into fresh water every day, but you don’t know when it will lose its magic.
…
A water tank and 12 liters of water: a very sturdy iron box. You don’t know where it comes from, and you don’t know why its weight seems to have no effect on the boat. You just need to know that the water in it can sustain your life.
…
Repellent: A large bag of light yellow powder. Just sprinkle a little around to repel snakes, insects, sharks, and even huge monsters.
…
Note: Expelling potion is ineffective against sea overlord monsters
…
Cross: A somewhat old cross. It can be used to pray, and perhaps some benevolent gods will respond to your prayers. Of course, the gods who respond to your prayers may not all be benevolent.
…
Incomplete nautical chart: Although incomplete, this grid map is something even a Labrador can understand.
…
The Stout Harpoon: An underrated weapon that can be used to catch fish, but can also be used to kill people.
…
15-foot rope: You can use it to tie yourself to the boat when you sleep at night, so you don’t have to worry about falling into the sea because of turning over.
…
"9 out of 3?"
Roger thought seriously.
The profile I chose is that of a girl.
Then the things used by sailors would be of no use.
The girl's attribute is luck plus 3.
She knew almost nothing about the sea.
So you want to pass the level.
I'm afraid it depends on luck.
It's not just luck - the prerequisite for triggering luck is to live long enough, so water and food are the most important, so Roger chose 5 rations without hesitation.
If you eat sparingly, it can last you 10 days.
Enough for the girl’s luck to work.
When it comes to water selection.
A tank with 12 liters of water is a better choice.
After all, even if you drink up all the water, you might be able to collect other fresh water.
As for the mysterious thing like freshwater stone, even if Roger wanted to rely on luck to pass the level, he finally put it out of the options.
The last option.
Roger hesitated for a long time between the expulsion potion, the cross, and the rope.
…
The repelling potion is also a prop for survival. After all, from the description, there are monsters in this ocean. With the repelling potion, it is enough to deal with most ordinary monsters.
With the girl's luck, she shouldn't encounter a dominant monster right away, so the repelling potion is something Roger really wants.
…
In comparison, the role of the cross is much more mysterious.
If you are lucky, you will be blessed by the good gods.
Can you complete the game with one life?
Roger was skeptical.
It's just a game after all.
And its creator is a god with a unique way of thinking.
Who knows if the gods can guide players to victory in Pandora's game...
Roger thought this possibility was unlikely.
But this thing just happens to be in line with the attributes of a girl.
So he hesitated for a moment.
…
As for the final rope.
This is a preference Roger made based on his own adventurous experience.
After all, ropes are always useful.
Especially in the wild.
Whether it is used to tie up others or to tie up yourself.
It has great practical value.
…
Create a character interface.
Roger was stuck for a while.
He struggled to decide between the cross and the banishing potion.
In the end, I could only sigh.
Choose All!
And as a price.
The five rations that were checked at the beginning were erased by Roger.
"If you want to survive, you can just drink water. Food is not a necessity..."
Roger comforted himself in this way.
Then he chose to confirm.
The scene in front of me suddenly changed.
The pitch-black grid map completely filled his field of vision.
In the upper left corner of the map there is a text box that is very similar to the Xiayin system data box.
The content of the game is displayed in the text box.
…
"In September 930, you went out to sea with your father and encountered a shipwreck. You managed to survive by grabbing a small boat.
But the nightmare did not end there.
On the vast ocean.
You want to survive.
You long to see your loved ones again.
You know that the probability of your father's survival is very low, so you start praying to the gods, hoping that you can find the legendary Moonlight Island.
…
On September 17, it was cloudy, you were drifting on the sea, with nothing to gain, and you consumed one liter of water.
…
September 18, cloudy You are drifting on the sea, with nothing to gain, and you consume one liter of water
…
On September 19, the weather turned cloudy, you were drifting on the sea and encountered a school of sharks;
You consumed a banishing potion;
You are very hungry.
You tried to catch fish with your hat and you failed;
At night, you are too hungry to sleep.
You drifted off to sleep until dawn and nearly fell into the sea!
…
On September 20, there was a storm, and your ship sank in the storm. Having lost your ship, you soon drowned in the sea...
…
Death location: 2 nautical miles from Moonlight Island
…
The game is over and you are dead. Do you want to load the saved game?"
…
"That's it?"
Roger was stunned for a moment.
There is absolutely no room for manipulation in this game!
Once you make your selection, everything is automatic.
The direction in which the ship moves is also random each day.
Water and food consumption are automatically deducted.
Items like Expulsion Potions are consumed based on the triggering conditions.
As for the cross that Roger set himself.
He never realized that this thing had any effect at all!
…
"I see. This is purely a roll point game..."
Roger came back to his senses.
I chose to load the save file.
The interface in front of me immediately returned to the step of creating a character.
It’s just that the other three characters have been locked.
Roger can still only choose the girl in this file.
After clicking on the girl.
The game continues.
Fast forward to the end of the backstory.
It is still a 9-choice 3 choice.
Considering that loading a save file in this game costs almost nothing.
So clearing the level should be a very simple matter.
All Roger had to do was to find a way out through exhaustive method.
Unless Pandora is so cruel as to only leave a path for one character to pass the level.
Otherwise, Roger’s chance of winning is 100%!
…
"Come one by one. Throw away the crosses if they are useless and exchange them for food..."
Very quickly.
The girl's second exile at sea began again.
This time, perhaps because of the support of food rations, or perhaps because of luck, the girl lived for a full 15 days!
What a pity.
Before we run out of ammunition and food.
She still didn't wait for the rescue ship, nor did she find the legendary Moonlight Island.
Just on the death settlement page.
Roger was shocked to find that the place where he died this time was 60 nautical miles away from Moonlight Island!
This shows how random this game is.
This is outrageous!
"Is this the gaming attainment of the gods in this world? Love it..."
Roger shook his head and complained in his heart.
But he did not lose his patience.
This is a game that can be completed by lifting the ball.
To him, it's like giving it away for free.
Because patience is Roger's greatest strength!
…
that's all.
He began to read the archive files and adjust the girl's configuration.
And patiently wait for the moment of clearance.
Time passes by...
But it didn't take long.
Roger discovered a problem.
I have clearly already matched all the options in the 9-choice-3 game.
But among these 84 combinations.
There wasn't even a single time I was able to pass the level successfully!
The two most recent ones—one was a death on the beach at Moonlight Island;
Another time, he couldn't hold on when he was found by the rescue ship and died despite failed treatment!
Both times I was extremely close to completing the game.
But in the end, none of them were successful.
This discovery gave Roger a headache.
Could it be that the girl’s choice was wrong?
…
"Perhaps I have a stereotyped impression of Pandora's gender. I chose a girl because she is one of the few female characters among the gods..."
Such a thought flashed through Roger's mind.
But he was not discouraged.
Because he soon realized that due to the huge randomness in this game, even if he chose the right combination to pass the level, he might not be able to do so due to the randomness!
"Generally speaking, if the combination is correct, then even if you are unlucky, at least you will be closer to your destination..."
With this kind of thinking.
Roger went over and over every situation he had tried before.
Finally he listed those options that went further.
Then continue reading the archive.
Try again and again.
…
This job is quite boring and tedious.
But Roger himself enjoyed it very much.
Whenever he saw the information in the text box in the upper left corner, it flashed through his mind.
You can imagine a big drama in your mind.
It's self-entertainment in a sense.
In the blink of an eye.
Three days passed.
Roger was still deeply mired in the girl's file.
There were already slight bloodshot eyes.
His brows furrowed unconsciously.
"Let's try again..."
Roger pursed his lips.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You have started the 243rd, 281st Shipwreck Simulator game journey..."
…
On the text box.
…
"In September 930, you went out to sea with your father...
…
On September 17, it was cloudy, you were drifting on the sea, with nothing to gain, and you consumed one liter of water.
…
September 20th, sunny day, your prayers are answered - a kind god sends you a piece of cheese and a gust of wind. The cheese will keep you from being hungry for the next week.
And that wind will blow your boat where you want to go.
…
September 22, it was a storm, and at dawn, your boat was overturned in the storm.
You can't swim.
Zhang thrashed around in the water in panic.
Soon you lose consciousness.
In a daze, you feel a force pushing you.
You want to get up and see everything around you.
But you can't.
You have fainted.
…
September 23rd, sunny, you wake up under the sunshine.
You discover that you are not dead.
Instead, it was washed onto a beach by the waves.
The sand here is as soft as cotton.
You look around you in wonder.
You want to stand up from the beach.
But due to weakness, you can only crawl very slowly on the beach.
Just at this moment.
A very spiritual elk jumped out from the jungle by the sea.
It brought you two melons with charming fragrance.
You ate the cantaloupe and regained your strength.
The elk disappeared.
…
September 24, sunny. You have finished your preparations and started to explore the interior of the island...
…
You discovered the coconut tree.
…
You discovered the palm trees.
…
You spotted a pheasant.
…
You discovered the Kapok tree.
…
You discovered a freshwater lake.
…
You have arrived at the center of the island.
I found a shining stone with a crescent moon carved on it.
There is an abandoned campsite nearby.
You found some information in the camp.
Through the interpretation of the data.
You realize that you have arrived at the legendary Moonlight Island.
The information says.
Every moonlit night.
This moonstone will emit a charming glow and burst out with enough power to allow people to travel through time and space.
You decide to take this opportunity.
In order to find my father and mother through the magic of the moonstone..."
…
Accompanied by the flashing of lines of handwriting.
Before you know it.
Roger unexpectedly discovered that his consciousness had attached itself to a ragged girl.
The black grid map has long disappeared.
Shown before him.
It's a vivid island world!
“That’s quite interesting!”
"Does this mean that the game has just begun?"
With this thought in mind.
Roger stood calmly beside the moonstone.
It is already dusk.
The moon is not far from reaching its zenith.
…
A few hours later.
The faint moonlight shines on the moonstone.
The pure white light is indeed like a dream.
Roger stared at the moonstone.
Very quickly.
Changes began to occur around the Moonstone.
The outline of an object appeared in Roger's sight.
And when Roger saw what the thing looked like.
He was more than shocked!
"Is this what I want most?"
Roger stared in amazement at the computer that appeared next to the moonstone.
I couldn't speak for a long time.
He walked quickly to the computer.
Then sit down in the chair.
Lightly press the power button.
Familiar music came from the computer case.
Then there is a familiar interface.
…
"It's actually my computer! Was it dug out from my memory?"
Roger clicked around on his computer excitedly.
certainly.
He consciously skipped certain folders named "Work" or "Study".
I clicked around unconsciously for a while.
Roger opened the browser.
Unfortunately, there is nothing new in the browser:
Most of what appeared before Roger's eyes was blurry.
…
"I know it was extracted from my memory..."
Roger smiled.
I didn't care too much.
Even if it's an illusion.
It feels good to touch old things again.
He clicked through the favorites of the web pages one by one with the mouse.
One of them happened to be the game forum for the game called Sword of Quinanan.
Instigated by curiosity.
Roger clicked on the webpage with some excitement.
Next second.
Five consecutive posts from the same ID appeared in front of Roger:
…
What to do if you can't beat Weilan? Urgent!
…
"Give me another 24 hours and I will definitely get the car back. Is anyone willing to bet?"
…
"Another 12 hours is OK. If I lose, I will admit defeat."
…
《Almost finished the level, it's really a bit difficult, is it really that easy for you guys?》
…
…
"Forget it, give up, is there a modifier? Brothers..."
…
