Chapter 18: Seven Days Flashed By, Trial Arrives Again
Seven Days Flashed By, Trial Arrives Again
As the title says.
In these seven days, Xie Yang, who didn't know what promise he got from that Prophet lady, happily helped Cheng Shi go to an A-level weapon dungeon.
Actually, Cheng Shi didn't plan to want a weapon, he wanted a few gold pocket watches.
But Xie Yang felt that the value of gold watches couldn't even compare to the potion bottles of Prosperity of the Past, so he insisted on getting him a weapon.
Seeing that the other party was as stubborn as if he wasn't afraid of death, Cheng Shi compromised and casually mentioned a mage weapon, letting him substitute.
When Xie Yang learned that Cheng Shi needed a mage weapon, he was stunned for a long time.
"So you are a mage?"
"Doesn't it look like it?"
"I always thought you were an assassin, very good at hiding yourself."
"..."
Fortunately, Xie Yang didn't die in the dungeon, but he was seriously injured.
Cheng Shi earnestly persuaded Xie Yang to take back that bottle of Prosperity of the Past, but didn't expect Xie Yang to decisively reject his suggestion and borrow another bottle.
In the end, the weapon was obtained, but another bottle of medicine was lost.
"Wish you love soon." Cheng Shi's expression was complex.
"Thank you."
Xie Yang was grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Cheng Shi was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that you could accompany me to chat, I wouldn't care about your bullshit love.
But this is also quite good, at least there is fun to watch.
In this world, relaxing your body and mind is the most important thing.
Time flashed by, and when he opened his eyes again, new trial information had jumped into his eyes.
Cheng Shi hadn't done a dungeon for a week, and his competitive state was maintained well.
【Special Trial (Lost in Eternal Night 【Memory】) has started】
【Matching teammates (1/6)】
【Trial goal: In the intertwined memories, one can always find a way out, but the premise is that the night has not dissipated (time limit 12 hours)】
"Fuck!"
Cheng Shi was stunned and cursed.
It's actually a trial of the opposite family, isn't this letting me die?
【Matching successful (6/6), entering trial】
In Cheng Shi's extreme shock, his vision dimmed again.
"Sir? Sir?"
In his ears was the sound of boisterous conversation, occasionally interspersed with the sounds of clinking glasses and booing.
This is... a tavern?
Cheng Shi opened his eyes and found himself sitting at a round table. There were six people at the table, all asleep on the table. He was the first to wake up.
He looked at his clothes, the collar and lapels were all wet.
Fortunately, it wasn't vomit, probably knocked over the wine while sleeping, and his whole body smelled of wine.
"Sir, should I continue serving the wine you ordered?"
A waiter in black stood by, holding a tray, quietly waiting for Cheng Shi's instructions.
Still serving? People are drunk like this, still serving a fart, for a bath?
"No need, thank you." Cheng Shi shook his head, watched the waiter bow and retreat, and the teammates in front of him woke up one after another.
"Where is this? Tavern?"
"Uh, headache..."
"Oh my, clothes are dirty!"
"Xunila sheep blood wine, the favorite of Blizzard nomads, there was a small country called Bilius south of the Blizzard Mountains in the mid-Civilization Era, and this wine was popular."
"Gulp gulp gulp, ah, good wine!"
"..."
Looking at the teammates with different reactions, Cheng Shi's face was a bit ugly.
Three men and three women, this game obviously has slackers.
"Big shot?" The glasses boy who spoke first began to quickly look around, his eyes stayed on Cheng Shi and the woman who said the origin of the tavern for a moment, and then asked the latter.
"Fang Shiqing, 【Civilization】, Singer, Ladder 2047, good morning everyone."
This 【Civilization】 singer took out a white handkerchief from somewhere, wiped her white shirt and black collar that were stained by the wine very elegantly, then raised her glasses slightly and nodded to everyone.
Cheng Shi quickly made a profile of her appearance: long curly hair, black round-frame glasses, exquisite appearance, and... like a teacher.
And an English teacher.
Fang Shiqing, 【Civilization】, Singer, Ladder 2047
The glasses boy sitting on her right hand widened his mouth slightly, showing a very shocked look.
"2000 point game?" Seeing everyone looking at him, he introduced himself in a panic, "A-Ming, Ming of remembering, 【Civilization】, Assassin, Ladder 1717."
Just as the boy finished speaking, Cheng Shi frowned.
This person lied.
Don't know if he hid his path or fabricated his score, but the profession is not easy to disguise, and there is no need to disguise it.
But it seems that his panicked appearance doesn't look like an assassin.
Assassins are usually more... capable?
Cheng Shi suddenly thought of Song Yawen, forget it, maybe contrast is popular in the assassin circle now.
A-Ming, 【Civilization】, Assassin, Ladder 1717
"Hey, big brother?"
Just thinking, the boy shouted at Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi was slightly stunned and found that the speaking order had somehow become reverse order, and the boy happened to be sitting on his left.
So soon to him?
Cheng Shi sorted out his expression slightly and introduced himself cheerfully and brilliantly:
"Cheng Shi, 【Existence】, Priest, Ladder 1501."
The moment he finished speaking, he saw a lady opposite him frown slightly.
Oh? A bit interesting.
"1500?" A-Ming's eyes widened even more. He looked at Fang Shiqing and then at Cheng Shi, even more shocked, "Another 500 points difference?"
"Another?" Cheng Shi smiled.
"The trial last week also had a 500-point difference, very tricky, very deadly."
"But you still survived, didn't you?"
A-Ming smiled reluctantly and said not optimistically: "Just lucky."
The self-introduction continued, and it was the turn of the uncle who had been rubbing his head on Cheng Shi's right hand.
This uncle had messy long hair, wore a fur-collared jacket in the hot weather, and his eyes looked a bit decadent.
"Huang Bo, 【Chaos】, Singer, 1998."
【Chaos】! The opposite path of 【Civilization】!
Good show to watch.
Cheng Shi smiled and looked at the expressions of Fang Shiqing and A-Ming, but saw that the two just looked at the uncle more, and there was no special reaction.
On the contrary, Huang Bo kept rubbing his scalp with his fingers in his hair, not even raising his eyes, as if he didn't care at all that there were enemies among his teammates.
Huang Bo, 【Chaos】, Singer, 1998
"Another 2000 points?"
"Another singer?" The female player opposite Cheng Shi exclaimed, then hurriedly covered her mouth.
This person was the girl who frowned when she heard Cheng Shi's path earlier.
"Why, is it a singing competition today?" Another female player who was still drinking wine tilted her head, rested her elbows on the table, shook the wine bottle, and quickly drew a circle on her lips with the tip of her tongue, smiling charmingly:
"Seeing Bai Ling, you can also call me Birdie, 【Sinking】, Hunter, ladder score is too low so I won't say, good brothers and sisters, whatever you say, I'll just listen."
Saying that, she drank two more gulps of wine, not caring at all that the spilled wine wet her clothes again, soaking her low-cut black silk dress, sticking to her chest, outlining two arcs that made people's blood boil.
"What I'm best at is listening~"
【Filth】.
Cheng Shi didn't even need to look, he could know that this young lady with a collar was a 【Filth】 hunter, a sensory hunter, just by smelling the scent.
They are good at indulging their desires, guiding prey to be with them, pulling the prey's nerves, torturing the prey's mentality, letting the other party lose themselves in indulgence, and losing resistance in sinking.
The young lady looked like a master of physical sinking, but Cheng Shi found that she didn't lie, which showed that her Path to Godhood score was indeed very low.
Low score, and still able to rank into his game.
A bit of skill.
Seeing Bai Ling, 【Sinking】, Hunter, X
Assassin A-Ming looked quite restrained in her posture and expression, Uncle Huang Bo kept scratching his head, Fang Shiqing looked with interest, but the last female player next to her flashed a look of disgust on her face.
Cheng Shi thoughtfully looked at the last female player. The little girl looked pretty, also wearing a pair of glasses, looking generous, but only dodged a bit when Cheng Shi looked over.
"Xu Lu, 【Nothingness】, Singer, Ladder 1643."
"?"
As soon as the girl's nasal voice came out, Cheng Shi shivered first, then quickly looked at Seeing Bai Ling, trying to cover up the corner of his mouth that he couldn't control at all.
Look, isn't this a coincidence?
The only prophet on the field, he even knows her, it's highly likely that she is the nasal girl that Xie the lick-dog licked but couldn't get.
Tsk tsk, a believer of 【Fate】, sorry, my identity in this game is a believer of 【Time】.
In other words, I am a wolf!
Slurp!
Xu Lu, 【Nothingness】, Singer, Ladder 1643
Cheng Shi really wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to expose too much. He knew that Xu Lu must also be looking at him, but she should still be wondering if this Cheng Shi is the "neighbor" she knows.
Xu Lu was indeed looking at Cheng Shi. While pretending to glance at Cheng Shi as if nothing had happened, she recalled in her heart the things Xie Yang had told her about Cheng Shi.
"There is a mage named Cheng Shi on the roof next door, looks very ordinary, a bit fat, looks like a dead fat house, he begged me for a long time to help him, I saw he was pitiful, so I casually did an A-level weapon dungeon and helped him hit a weapon."
"This person, don't look at him as ordinary, but he is quite loyal, knows how to be grateful, gave me an A-level healing medicine..."
"That wasn't exploded from the dungeon, it must have been picked up in the trial, anyway, it must be less valuable than the weapon I gave him."
"I have a high score, many means, it's useless to keep it, give it to you, you keep it for life-saving, this medicine is generally... also okay, no need to thank me."
Obviously, the Cheng Shi opposite her is quite different from the Cheng Shi in Xie Yang's mouth. At least the Cheng Shi opposite her is not ugly, not only not ugly, but also a bit handsome.
And then, he is a priest.
Doesn't match the mage either.
As everyone knows, profession is the hardest thing to lie about.
So, is it just the same name?
Just don't know, does he believe in 【Memory】, or the opposite... 【Time】. ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
