Chapter 11 The Direction and Guidance of the Gods
"Incense rises from the dilapidated temple, and land deeds are re-established."
They even try to be quite artistic, spouting all sorts of little phrases.
Chen Fu looked at the game text and recalled the self-mockery, silently making a sarcastic remark.
"The blessings from the Earth God only require a small amount of energy, and you can transfer them between Earth God temples where incense has been offered, traveling between the mortal world."
It looks impressive, but it's actually just a data transfer and saving function. In other games, you would have this at the start, but here, you need to trigger it separately.
Okay, if we don't count the two times he died yesterday, Chen Fu is indeed in the initial stage now, and it seems like nothing is different.
But if it weren't for this, I probably wouldn't have encountered the Land God. I wonder if other players have triggered this mechanism.
In reality, Chen Fu has not encountered any other players and cannot communicate with them, so he can only take things one step at a time.
Now that the Earth God Temple has been lit up, it's time to make another selection.
"Chosen One, you seem to have realized the current situation."
"Yes, even if you are the future ruler of the mortal world, you can't stay here stagnant forever."
It can even know what I'm thinking. Is big data really that terrifying?
As usual, Chen Fu cursed the game as trash and continued reading the text.
"You've come to a crossroads once again."
"Which path will you choose this time?"
Even though Chen Fu had already gained 25% of the experience points and felt incredibly powerful, after careful consideration, he did not choose to go to the town directly.
Who knows if they'll be able to defeat the bandits if they encounter them again?
The key is to continue improving and maintain a high win rate.
Chen Fu decided to go and take a look at the stone tablet first.
The dungeon attempts have been refreshed. Let's level up first, then we can deal with the bandits later!
He chose to go to the left.
"The future ruler of the mortal world is indeed brave and resourceful, knowing that in order to defeat powerful enemies, he must improve his own strength."
"If you turn left, you will soon see a stone tablet standing in front of you."
"A bandit radiating red light ran past you..."
Chen Fu's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone. Fortunately, the text wasn't finished yet.
"The red light is a life-saving charm for bandits, but also a death sentence."
"That bandit is obviously insane. He mistook you for a dead tree by the roadside and ran past you without even looking at you."
Is the dead tree alright? Thank you!
Chen Fu pursed his lips and continued to wait for the text to be generated.
"Although the bandit has left, in his haste, the cloth bag on his waist fell off. Are you going to go up and pick it up and check it, or pretend nothing happened?"
Of course, I checked. They killed me twice, so it's only right that they get some interest back first.
Chen Fu chose to pick it up and examine it.
"Your actions once again prove that courage is in the blood of those destined for greatness."
"You picked up the bag, took out the contents, and were just about to open it to check when you didn't notice that the bandits had returned and were looking for the dropped items."
"Caught red-handed, what can you say this time?"
"You were killed by bandits."
"You are dead."
You opened your eyes, ah~ this familiar dilapidated temple.
You son of a bitch, trying to play dirty tricks on me? You didn't just pick up a sack, you picked up my head!
Chen Fu was completely convinced. How could he not control himself and insist on choosing options that were obviously traps?
Three times in two days, all in the same way. Am I some kind of destined person who has to die?!
Chen Fu may have cursed him, but he really was responsible for this outcome. Ultimately, it was because he was greedy. If he had pretended not to see it, things might have gone much worse.
However, given the nature of this game, I reckon even if I choose the other option, I'll still get killed by bandits.
You saw something and didn't pick it up or warn me? Were you planning to ambush me? You'd better take my life!
"The chosen one, aspiring to become the ruler of the world, has once again perished under the butcher's knife, but whose fault is it?"
"Fortunately, your greed this time has indeed brought you some benefits," you said, looking down at what you held in your hand.
"You have received the guiding light from the gods (a one-time consumable)."
"The greatness of the gods needs no further explanation. The directional guide is a little gadget he made in his spare time, which allows the chosen one to be involved in a specific instance."
"In addition to this, the directional guide is also useful in providing three specific dungeon options when the chosen one does not know which dungeon to go to, allowing the chosen one to choose according to the situation."
"The method of use is also very simple. When you place the directional guide in front of the stone tablet left by the gods on earth, it will resonate."
Judging from its name, this thing is a special item, deeply connected to the stone tablet.
Once you have it, you won't have to worry about being randomly teleported to a dungeon, and you can choose which one to be in. However, it's a one-time consumable item, and you'll need to replenish it after using it up.
Although I was killed once and gained eight hours of rest, I received guidance from the gods, so it wasn't a loss.
Chen Fu's original plan was to enter the instance, and now that he has the right to choose, he is naturally very happy.
With the shadow of his recent death fading slightly, he began to consider whether he should endure the eight-hour physical punishment and go to the stone tablet again.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Fu decided to give it a try.
The bold get rich, the timid starve. At worst, you'll get another sixteen hours of stamina penalty, then you can quit the game.
Chen Fu waited for the game text to be generated, and soon he chose to push open the temple door.
"It seems death didn't teach you a lesson. Well, that's just how people are destined for greatness."
"But, you never know what will happen next."
Which path will you choose to take?
Chen Fu raised an eyebrow. "Am I easily frightened? Testing comrades with something like this?"
He clicked on the left and waited quietly for the result.
"The bandit from before has long since disappeared, and you have arrived at the stone tablet without any hindrance."
"Do you need to use the guiding light of the gods to open the instance?"
Hmph, I knew you were just being mysterious. I've already figured out the pattern.
Chen Fu revealed a smug smile and chose to activate.
A large amount of text began to appear on the phone screen.
"Since you haven't explored any dungeons other than your class-specific dungeons, we will provide you with three class-specific dungeons this time."
Option 1: Black Myth: The Great Wall (based on the truth of four major folk love stories), ID: CN-107.
"The stories you know are about tyranny and tragedy. But the real Great Wall was built to suppress ancient fears."
Meng Jiangnu wasn't crying for her husband, and the collapsed structure wasn't simply a city wall; all the clues are hidden in unseen places.
Option 2: Black Myth: Investiture of the Gods (based on the truth of the twelve chapters of Investiture of the Gods), ID: CN-5-12.
"The grand feast at the East Sea Dragon Palace was a carefully disguised sacrifice. The Dragon King's search for a son-in-law was a lie, and the destiny of the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Orb was a deception."
The sounds of greedy chewing echo forever in the depths of the ocean; only by venturing deep within can you discover the cruel truth.
Option 3: Black Myth: Journey to the West (based on the truth of Chapter 14 of Journey to the West), ID: CN-1-14.
The mysterious and tragic death of the old man who delivered peaches, the monk who passed away in front of the temple, and the strange pulsation of the mountain itself all silently accuse a carefully crafted story.
When the lies are exposed, the most chilling truths of the initial stages of the journey to the west will gradually unfold before your eyes.
Meng Jiangnu, Nezha, and Journey to the West—three different versions of the story, each with a different style and direction, unfolded before Chen Fu's eyes.
He was a little perplexed; they all looked pretty much the same.
If I can't get through this level, I'll never be able to take revenge on the bandits again.
Chen Fu didn't want to just disappear like that, so after thinking for a moment, he clicked on the option.
Text began to be generated on a large scale again.
His choice was...
