T/N:
I would just like to say that if you comment, thank you and I really do appreciate it. I am unable to respond directly unless you need help on anything (although I don’t know why you would ask me), but going through them makes me really happy. I do not mean anything by not replying, that is simply a mental barrier I am trying to slowly cross and I hope that I’ll get over it eventually (it is easier for me to answer if you use Discord which is in the contact section if you need).
Thank you again, it is extremely encouraging that people actually want to read what I translate.
The location they were in was indeed very close to the player gathering place, passing through a long passage, and after a short walk, a bustling town appeared in front of Xia Nuo.
At the same time, Xia Nuo received a reminder from the game system: the player has temporarily escaped from the maze, and the progress of this exploration is 0.001.
Although he was mentally prepared after hearing what the little girl said, he was still surprised when he saw this number.
0.001/100 (T/N: it was written 0.001/10000 but that makes no sense with the other statistics), that is, 1/100,000, Xia Nuo suddenly felt that a player who had explored 30% of the progress in fifteen years was already good enough.
The little girl didn’t notice his shock, she was leading Xia Nuo to the big square in the centre of the town.
Most of the people walking in the town are not humans, but various advanced monsters that retain certain monster characteristics.
Although they have a human form, they are clearly distinguished from players by the animal ears on their heads and the long tail behind them.
“Although it is called a gathering place for players, this town was actually built by the aborigines.” The little girl explained, “It was opened up by high-level monsters, and it is a space independent of the maze. There are many spaces like this in the game world.”
In fact, because of these independent spaces that have been opened up, this game is no longer like a lonely maze.
The advanced monsters have opened up many different spaces according to their different living habits. The environment in the space includes oceans, deserts, forests, and various terrains and landforms. In this way, the maze is transformed into a complete world.
“Then living here, do we need to be approved by the pioneers?” Xia Nuo thought for a while and asked a key question.
Along the way, he also discovered that there is a clear distinction between players and high-level monsters, and it is rare to see the two walking together.
The little girl also said before that high-level monsters are generally indifferent to humans, and their attitudes are not friendly.
It is conceivable that human beings must pay a price if they want to live in the space they have opened up.
He got the point of asking this question. They had already arrived at the square. The little girl excitedly pulled Xia Nuo to stand at the end of a long queue and replied: “No need, but I want to live for a long time. You must have a house that belongs to you in this small town, otherwise, you will have to pay the magic crystal to buy the right to live.”
And the way to obtain house ownership in the small town is to draw cards.
As I said before, the basic necessities of life of players in this game world are all inseparable from drawing cards.
Whether it’s food, weapons or houses, everything can be obtained by drawing cards.
There were three holy springs lined up in the square, but the one that really formed a long queue was the one in front of Xia Nuo and the little girl, and there were only a few people in front of the other holy springs.
“Do holy springs of different colours have different functions?” Xia Nuo asked.
The holy spring in front of them gushes out transparent spring water, while the other two colours are aquamarine and azure.
Xia Nuo recalled the holy spring that summoned the monster, its colour was different from others, it was a thick milky white like milk.
“They correspond to drawing cards of different levels.” The little girl pointed to him one by one, “The one in front of us draws cards with low-level magic crystals, the second one uses intermediate magic crystals, and the last one uses high-level magic crystals.”
“Outside the maze, the function of the holy spring is separated. But the holy spring in the maze has no such restrictions.”
So at that time, Xia Nuo could directly throw an intermediate magic crystal into the maze holy spring.
“What will happen if you use the wrong magic crystal?” Xia Nuo suddenly asked, “For example, what will happen if you accidentally throw a middle-level magic crystal into a spring that requires a low-level magic crystal?”
“In most cases, the magic crystal will be swallowed and nothing will happen.”
Since the little girl said so, there is still a small part of the situation.
Sure enough, she moved closer to Xia Nuo and lowered her voice: “I just heard that someone accidentally threw a high-level magic crystal into the first type of spring, and as a result, there were a steady stream of low-level monsters in the spring, and the players and high-level monsters living in that space were almost killed. “
This is the so-called too many ants to kill elephants. No matter how powerful the high-level monsters are, they are also helpless in the face of low-level monsters that cannot be killed.
“Then what happened in the end?” Xia Nuo also became curious.
“The space was destroyed by the creator, and all the players and monsters who didn’t escape were buried inside.”
Seeing that Xia Nuo was stunned when he heard this, the little girl quickly added: “It’s said that this incident came from a player who escaped by chance. Although I don’t know how credible it is, but since then, all the holy springs have been guarded by special personnel, so there is no need to worry too much.”
Xia Nuo looked in the direction the little girl pointed, and sure enough, he saw a tall guard whose whole body was wrapped in armour.
But he was in a daze just now, but he wasn’t worried about the safety of the holy spring as the little girl thought.
He was thinking, what is the existence of the holy spring for?
Although so far, he hasn’t started drawing cards for the first time – the previous one is not included in it for the time being – he still doesn’t understand the card drawing mechanism of the Holy Spring.
But the holy spring, which can draw out food, weapons, and even summoned objects, does seem to be a convenience for players on the surface.
But according to the little girl’s previous description, every time a card is drawn, a magic crystal is needed as a medium, and no matter what level of magic crystal it is, players need to bother to obtain it.
Or by hunting low-level monsters, or completing tasks issued by high-level monsters, and so on.
In this way, on the one hand, players have to consider their own survival issues, and on the other hand, they must try their best to summon monsters to obtain powerful assistance. In this way, the time spent exploring the maze will inevitably be greatly reduced.
And where did the food and weapons provided by the holy spring come from?
If it is transformed through low-level magic crystals, why can intermediate-level magic crystals and high-level magic crystals summon the existence of monsters?
Based on Xia Nuo’s understanding of them, these three kinds of magic crystals are just different in the amount of energy they contain.
Another thing Xia Nuo couldn’t figure out was that the difficulty of this game seemed a bit too high.
Even if this is a ‘point-washing game world’ in the mouth of the little girl, it is impossible that there is no way to pass the level.
According to the current progress of the fastest player, it is estimated that it will take fifty years to clear the game—Xia Nuo was keenly aware of the error when he heard about this.
It took a long time to explore the maze and even gave something like a progress bar. The key to clearing the level, the map, did not give any clues. This is not the usual style of the game at all.
In this maze, there must be hidden secrets that players have not yet discovered.
Perhaps.
Combined with the information he knew so far, a bold guess came up in his heart.
However, it will take some time to verify this conjecture.
“Chang An, Chang An” the little girl called Xia Nuo’s name, interrupting his thoughts, she reminded him, “It’s our turn.”
Although the line was very long at the beginning, the speed of progress was very fast. Xia Nuo was at the end of the line and only waited for about ten minutes.
At this time, the sky had already darkened. Others either went home or had other arrangements, and the square became empty. They were the last players to draw cards.
The little girl pulled Xia Nuo to stand in front of the holy spring, and said like teaching:
“Throw the magic crystal in first, ten at a time, and then silently say what you want, food, weapons or houses are fine, then ten cards will appear in front of you, just choose one.”
In view of the fact that the monsters chasing them had donated many magic crystals, the little girl suggested that he take out all the things he needed in one go.
“You must be lucky!” the little girl said confidently.
Xia Nuo Xia Nuo didn’t think so. The previous ten years of experience had given him a deep-rooted understanding of his own luck.
Europe Emperors do not exist. (T/N: Again as in the other chapters, a European Emperor is someone extremely lucky)
He took a deep breath, determined to smoke the house first.
After all, it’s getting late, so it’s better to have a place to rest.
But thinking about the probability of getting a house, he felt that he probably had no hope.
Different from food, weapons, and other items, they are almost guaranteed to draw cards, but there are restrictions on their level and rarity. The occurrence rate of empty cards is extremely low, but the occurrence rate of empty cards in houses is as high as 90%.
The ten cards in front of Xia Nuo might even be empty cards.
After silently saying ‘House’ in his heart, ten cards lined up appeared before Xia Nuo.
The cards are dark blue, with vine-like patterns drawn on the surface, all the cards are exactly the same, and there is no difference.
Xia Nuo hesitated for a moment, and just about to reach out, a voice came from beside his ear: “The third one from the left.”
――Who is talking?!
He looked up in surprise, and the little girl looked at him in surprise, and asked, “Little brother, what’s wrong?”
It seemed she hadn’t heard the voice.
Xia Nuo turned his attention to the guard standing beside him again. Under the tall armour, he could only see a black shadow and a pair of eyes shining red.
Probably not him.
But other than that, there were only a few pedestrians in the square, and they were all far away. There was no fourth person present in front of the holy spring.
Xia Nuo carefully recalled that voice, and always felt that it was inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
He fell into the memory, and the voice rang again, as if he thought he hadn’t heard it clearly last time, he repeated it again: “The third picture from the left.”
Xia Nuo, “…”
After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand and touched a card with his fingertips, but it wasn’t the third card from the left that the voice said.
