Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 79 Nightmare and Visit
Murphy found himself in darkness and heard noisy sounds echoing in his ears.
Hero, please help us... There lives an evil green dragon in that mountain. The venom it spews has contaminated the land and our crops have died.
Hero, please save us... There is a white dragon living in a cave by the sea. It spews dragon breath every day, freezing the sea surface. We can't go fishing and we are almost starving to death.
Hero, please help me. My daughter was kidnapped by a blue dragon and taken to the mountains. Please rescue her. I will give you gold, silver and treasures and spread your heroic name to the people of the kingdom.
hero……
It's so noisy! Murphy opened his eyes, and the noise disappeared at once. In front of him was a red flame. Murphy found himself lying in the lava, surrounded by boiling magma and flames.
He did not feel any pain, but instead had a very warm feeling. The lava surrounded him like hot water, making him feel like he was back in his mother's arms.
"Hero, look, it's that monster, kill him! Kill him!"
The sound rang out again, and along with it came the vibration of footsteps. Someone was approaching the place where he was sleeping, wanting to kill him...
Murphy felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he angrily crawled out of the lava. However, what appeared before him was a dark cave. He was not a monster hiding in the lava, but a warrior holding a spear.
He was standing at the entrance of the cave. Inside the cave, a pair of dragon eyes emitting a faint red light were looking at him from the darkness.
"Do you think that if you kill me, you will be loved by the people? Do you think that if you kill me, you will get the king's reward? Foolish dragon slayer, you and I are no different. We are powerful and therefore feared, and we are rare and therefore coveted." A dragon walked out of the darkness. It was a red dragon with an elegant and beautiful figure and noble and terrifying fangs.
"Kill!" Murphy's perspective flew up, and a spear shot out from his hand and pierced into the monster's chest. Blood gushed out, and the red dragon fell down with a bang.
There was a moment of confusion in front of my eyes. No, that was not a red dragon, but a lava earth dragon. It looked extremely familiar. The surrounding area was not a dark cave, but a scorching hot lava cave. There was no anger in the eyes of the earth dragon, only tranquility.
"Those who pursue the power of the dragon, turn back, or you will be destined to become like me."
Murphy's mind was in a trance for a moment, and the monster in front of him turned into the red dragon again.
He took out a long knife and dug the dragon's heart out of its chest. The hot dragon's heart gleamed with a fiery luster and exuded an enticing sweet and salty smell.
Hey--hoo--ha! Ho--hoo--ha!
The familiar singing voice appeared again, and the surroundings suddenly became cold. He found himself standing in front of the round table in the Dragon Feast Ceremony Hall, surrounded by countless warriors as ferocious as him. They held spears and swords, blood dripping from their mouths, and some were holding half-gnawed dragon hearts in their hands. All of them were looking at him, shouting to him, singing to him, with expressions of ecstasy on their faces.
A whisper also sounded. "Eat it, Flor, and consume the power!"
Murphy took a bite without hesitation, with a feeling of ecstasy and satisfaction. The heart of a red dragon, a green dragon, a blue dragon, or an earth dragon, there was no difference. He ate them all, devouring the power...
You can never eat enough of the dragon's heart. The more you eat, the hungrier and thirstier you become.
Murphy felt his body expanding, his skin tearing, and his blood seemed to be burning with fire. He struggled and rolled on the ground, his body continued to grow, his back was torn, and something came out.
Ah! He let out a heart-wrenching roar and fell to the ground. The cold ground turned into a stone mirror. Through the mirror, he could clearly see a terrifying monster reflected in it. The monster's eyes stared at him. There was no calmness, only the most primitive desire to kill and devour everything...
Murphy woke up from his dream, he sat up and found himself sitting on his bed, surrounded by the familiar scenes in the bedroom.
There are no monsters, no heroes, no dragons, and no dragon slayers, only himself.
…
He let out a long breath. Fortunately, it was just a dream, a horrible nightmare. Wait, a dream! Murphy's heart trembled. Murphys had gradually appeared from a dream.
It won’t come again, will it?
His heart began to beat wildly, but that shouldn't be the case. Murphys was gradually born during his long-term gaming experience. According to the technical consultant Wang Xuan, he was an intelligent AI born from the continuous simulation of virtual life by a computer program. Although Murphy didn't want to believe what Wang Xuan said, there was at least one thing he could be sure of, this thing was very rare.
I probably just had a nightmare because of my gaming experience during the day.
He comforted himself and got out of bed. He felt very thirsty, so he went to the water dispenser in the living room and got a large glass of water. He drank it in one gulp and felt much better.
He didn't know if it was because of the air conditioning, but he felt very hot all over and the air seemed to have lost all moisture.
Murphy walked into the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and looked at himself in the mirror. His eyes were slightly red, probably because he didn't sleep well.
He was about to get closer to take a closer look when he suddenly noticed a cloud of water vapor on the mirror. Hey, where did this water vapor come from?
When he lowered his head, he was surprised to find that the remaining water stains on his hands were drying up and evaporating rapidly, emitting bursts of white steam, as if his hands were radiators.
Damn, what’s going on? He poured some water on his hands in disbelief. Yes, his hands were getting hot. Although he felt only a little hot, his body temperature was definitely not low at this moment.
He found a thermometer from the medicine box, held it in his hand, and within a few seconds it exploded with a bang.
Murphy was really scared this time. He quickly threw the thermometer in his hand into the trash can and cleaned the mercury off his hands. He looked at his hands and vaguely felt that some strange changes were happening to him.
He suddenly remembered the mission warning in the game.
[Warning: Completing the original storyline will have a profound impact on the game's worldview, and players can gain powerful power from the storyline.
However, this type of plot is somewhat dangerous, so players should be mentally prepared before carrying out the mission. 】
Gaining powerful strength involves certain risks, so be mentally prepared... everything became clear in an instant.
Could it be that the player can obtain abilities in the game? Then what abilities did I obtain, fire affinity? This could explain why I was so hot.
Does that mean he is no longer afraid of flames? He picked up a lighter, lit it, and placed his hand on it. One second, two seconds, three seconds, his palm felt slightly hot. Four seconds, five seconds, six seconds, it got hotter and hotter. At the eighth second, he seemed to have finally been unable to resist and pulled his hand back.
He looked at his hands. The places burned by the fire were slightly red, but that was all. He found it hard to believe for a moment, but he had to believe it. He felt both fear and excitement in his heart. Did he gain super powers?
The origin of the plot... is so magical. If I continue to perform the Dragon Feast Ceremony, what will happen next?
Gain more super powers? Even transform into a dragon?
The ugly appearance of the lava earth dragon Flor suddenly appeared in his mind. What if he failed? Controlling the dragon's body in the game was no problem, but what if he turned into a dragon in reality? Could he really control it?
No, I have to find Wang Xuan and ask him clearly.
He felt that the other party must know something. The moment he picked up the phone, he hesitated. Would telling the other party about the changes in himself bring danger to himself?
But then I thought that it shouldn't be the case. It was obvious that the entire game was made by Cang Qiong Company. If there was any problem, the other party should have known it long ago.
They even added that warning at the end of the original plot, indicating that the other party was fully aware of the consequences of all this.
Judging from the last conversation with Wang Xuan, this game clearly hides some secrets, and it seems that the game is happy for players to discover these secrets.
Even the appearance of Morpheus was not taken seriously by the other party...
Besides, if he didn't understand the danger of this thing, he would have no idea what was going on. What if he turned into a monster like Flor in real life? That would be really terrible.
He called Wang Xuan. Although it was three o'clock in the morning, he had a feeling that the other party would answer the call.
Sure enough, the phone rang only twice before the other end answered.
"Hey, Mr. Murphy, what do you want to talk to me about so late?
"There is something I need to ask you about."
"What's wrong? Did you encounter another game bug?" The other party's voice didn't sound impatient at all, and even had a sense of anticipation.
Mo Fei thought that if it was a game bug it would be simple, but this was a fucking real bug.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start, so he said directly that his body temperature was so high that it could make the thermometer explode, make cold water evaporate quickly, and withstand a lighter for several seconds...
This kind of thing sounds like it has no impact at all. The other party will think I am mentally ill. What's worse may be that the other party knows what is going on but just says a few words to fool me.
If I could spit fire from my mouth and shoot lasers from my eyes, then I could shout out with confidence and ask the other party what was going on.
After thinking for a while, he could only vaguely say: "I seem to have some problems with my body. I suspect it is caused by your company's game."
"Oh , really? Haha, that's really interesting. What's the question?"
The tone of the person on the other end was not surprised at all, but rather relaxed, and Murphy couldn't help but relax as well.
"Can we meet and talk? Things are a bit complicated and it's hard to explain clearly."
"No problem. Why don't you come to our company tomorrow? Do you know Cangqiong Building? When you get here, tell the front desk that you want to see Wang Xuan from the technical department and she will know. If the guards don't let you in, just use my business card."
"Okay, see you tomorrow then."
The next day, Murphy got up early. He felt that there should be no danger today, but just in case, he still sent an email to the black shadow and chose to delay sending it for 24 hours. If he really had an accident, at least he wanted to let people know the secret.
Then he drove to the Sky Building in the city center.
The Cangkong Building is also a well-known building in S City. It is a newly built skyscraper with a height of one hundred floors. It was bought by the Cangkong Group at a generous price of 65 billion. What is even more generous is that the Cangkong Group has no intention of renting out the floors of this building.
So there is only one company in the entire building: Cangkong Group.
From this point of view, the Cangkong Group is really not short of money.
He walked into the lobby on the first floor of the building and told the pretty girl at the front desk why he was there. At first, the other party had a formal expression, but when , she immediately changed to a respectful attitude.
"You need special permission to go to the technical department. Please use the internal elevator over there."
Murphy thanked him, walked into the elevator, and slowly scanned the floor buttons. 100th floor - Chairman's Office.
99th floor——empty.
98th floor——empty.
Floor 97: Empty.
The utilization rate of this Sky Building is shockingly low. It is not until the 66th floor that it is shown as the Business Department of the Sky Group.
All departments of the Cangkong Group are concentrated in the middle ten floors, and below that is empty - empty - empty.
Technology DepartmentTechnology DepartmentTechnology Department…
My eyes fell to the bottom of the button and finally I saw the words "Technical Department".
B3 floor - Cangqiong Group Technology Department.
It turned out to be a basement. Murphy pressed the button for the third floor. As the elevator slowly went down, Murphy's heart began to rise.
