The scene turned back to Han Dong and his team who had just entered the city.
[You have set foot in an important area — Dry Town. Due to the influence of special substances in this area, your attribute indicators will be presented in the form of a "character card." Please check your character card as soon as possible.]
They pulled over.
Each of them took out a character card from their clothes.
It was slightly different from what Han Dong expected. The card did not give the usual strength, agility, intelligence, and other values. Instead, it gave four more intuitive basic attributes:
"Mind" and "Perseverance"
"Health" and "Physique"
On the back of the card, a more detailed definition of each basic attribute was given:
"Mind": Humans are important beings in the universe, nature is friendly, God is merciful — the core of these human spiritual values will be completely shattered when the truth of the world is revealed. They will become illusions that deceive people, leaving behind only a desolate, terrifying, and empty universe.
The Mind Index represents how many of the most basic human beliefs you still retain.
When an individual encounters a terrifying existence in Dry Town, the Mind Index will decline.
Once it reaches zero, it will be regarded as an "absolute state of fear."
The human body's mental defense and consciousness defense line will be greatly reduced, and it will be easy to be directly controlled by the residents of Dry Town and become the lowest level of pigs.
[Perseverance]: Whether the cause is an eyeless man's corpse hanging in the hospital, an evil grass monster hiding under a manhole cover by the roadside, or the residents of Derry Town torturing you. The shock and fear caused by them will cause severe damage to the mind and nervous system, causing the individual to fall into panic, causing people to freeze, faint, or blind rage.
Your Perseverance level represents how much you can withstand mental trauma.
Directly related to the mind.
The higher the Perseverance level, the slower the decline of the mind.
"Health": Health represents the total amount of damage an individual can withstand. When you are hit while fighting the terrifying monsters in Dry Town, the health value will decrease.
"Physique": The strength of the physique determines the regeneration ability, the ability to withstand damage, the ability to resist infection, the ability to survive in a poisonous environment, and so on.
Directly related to the health.
The stronger the physique, the slower the decline of the health value when injured.
The maximum threshold for the above four basic attributes is 10.
In fact, it was easy to understand the above four attributes.
In other words, it was a simple matter of Defense and HP.
However, the Character Summon Cards here gave a total of "two" health points. If any of the health points dropped to zero, it would cause the individual to fall into danger or directly die.
Everyone's "Character Card" was based on the Fate System's objective evaluation:
The background of Han Dong's card was dark red.
"Warren Nicholas"
Background: A student of Bates College, an intern researcher at the Key Laboratory of Chemical Engineering. Calm and collected, he likes to solve all kinds of problems from a scientific perspective.
"Intelligence": 10 (Able to face the most terrifying myths directly)
"Perseverance": 10 (Indestructible will)
"Health": 5 (Healthy)
"Constitution": 7 (Deeply mutated infected person's body)
At the same time, it has three high-level special abilities: "Mysticism", "Literature Reading", and "Black Magic".
"Cass Nicholas"
Background: Bates College student, baseball captain and football player. Cheerful and bright, willing to sacrifice himself for his teammates.
"Wisdom": 6 (Fearless)
"Perseverance": 7 (From the knight's firm belief)
Health: 8 (Extremely healthy)
"Constitution": 9 (Stone Wall)
At the same time, it has two high-level special abilities: "Brawl" and "Melee Proficiency".
"Diana Epsilon"
Background: Bates College student, cheerleader, vice president of the campus Monster Exploration Association.
"Intelligence": 3 (Easily bewitched)
"Perseverance": 8 (Heart of the Night Watcher)
"Health": 6 (Excellent health)
"Constitution": 10 (Dense white bones)
At the same time, it has several high-level special abilities: "Brawl", "Bone Transformation", and "Super Speed Movement".
Obviously, Han Dong's overall value was the best. Two full attributes meant that Han Dong was the most suitable to deal with spirit type monsters.
Cass was the most balanced, and Diana's value was the most volatile … However, from the motel incident, it could be seen that Diana was not suitable to deal with spirit type monsters.
Staring at the Character Card, Han Dong gave a suggestion. "After entering the city, let's split up."
"It's not a good idea to split up in such a dangerous area, is it?" Cass was a little skeptical, but once Han Dong gave a definite answer, he would definitely obey.
"Diana's mental condition is not suitable to go to the central hospital … It's better to let the two of you work together and be responsible for the main mission's requirement, which is to collect 30 Source Core Ores.
After all, Sam told us that the buildings in Dry Town are basically made of Source Core Ores. Maybe we can find the corresponding mine in the mountain behind Dry Town.
As for the perfect brain in the hospital, leave it to me alone.
The next time we encounter the nameless female corpse, the illusion we encounter may be even more terrifying and profound than the one in the motel. "
When she heard this, Diana was also slightly shocked. The terrifying experience from before had not completely disappeared in her heart. At the moment, she was holding the seatbelt with one hand, and the bones on the surface of her body were faintly discernible.
"I … I will deal with all the monsters except for the female corpse. I'm sorry." Diana realized that she was holding them back to a certain extent, so she kept apologizing.
"It's okay. I still need Diana's help to deal with the 'Dragon City Team' later on … Huo Ziping is too strong. You should be the only one who can suppress him."
"Swordsman … Father said that Dragon City's Swordsman is the strongest in the world. I'll do my best. "
That was it.
The car went around the center of Dry Town that was shrouded in fog … Han Dong got out of the car at the road sign that was labeled [100 meters ahead – Dry Town Central Hospital].
"Nicholas, be careful …"
"Don't worry, I'm not alone."
Han Dong waved with his back facing her and walked away into the fog.
…
"As long as I can get the brain, the main mission is basically completed. The other materials are trivial …"
Just as Han Dong was walking toward the hospital …
On the originally empty street, there was actually a patient walking towards them.
He was wearing a white hospital gown.
There was a needle on the back of his hand that was connected to an IV drip on a pole.
His head was lowered, and his face could not be seen.
Drip, drip, drip …
Some kind of viscous liquid was being secreted from this person's body and flowed down his pants all over the ground. There was even some kind of soft object that fell to the ground. It looked like some kind of soft tissue or tentacles.
When Han Dong approached …
The patient suddenly raised his face.
It was a blurry face full of bubbles of various sizes. His empty eye sockets were filled with strange tentacles.
However, such a stare had no effect on Han Dong.
Han Dong had no intention of attacking. He smiled and handed the patient a mask before continuing to walk toward the hospital.
"There's actually a Cthulhu in Dry Town! But it makes sense … The residents of Dry Town are originally from a small world. It's reasonable that there are some residents from a Cthulhu world. "
Han Dong took out the rusty key given by the female corpse and stared at the V.O.I.D (Void) engraving on it.
"It seems that the female corpse really saw through my true attribute when I was unconscious under the influence of the illusion and gave me a corresponding gift … It's right to come alone.
The Cthulhu incident is not suitable for Cass to contact Diana. "
