Then, the quest tab showed up. "Explore the house and find a way to escape."
After reading that, Feng Bujue turned to open the door. It was a flat door made from two solid wooden boards. Feng Bujue gripped the handles on both sides and twisted them until they creaked noisily. Obviously, the door was locked and would not open so easily.
Invincible Champion scoffed. "An amateur is an amateur. How can you open this door?"
Kacha, kacha …
Wang Tanzhi also joined Feng Bujue. He used the kitchen knife in one hand to poke at the gap between the two boards while his other hand pulled on the door handle. He was using his actions to show his support for Feng Bujue.
"Brother with 'Panic' in your title, are you kidding me? I already said … "Invincible Champion said again.
Clang, clang, clang …
The two became even more aggressive. Each of them pulled on the door handle and tried their best to pry open the two boards.
"I said …" Brother Invincible was at a loss for words.
Pa! Pa! With two consecutive noises, both of the door handles were broken. Now, even if they had the key, they would not be able to open the door.
"Hey! What are you guys doing! "Invincible Champion gasped in shock. In that second, his Terror Points had increased for some reason.
Bang, bang, bang …
They used their shoulders to knock on the door that had lost its handles.
In the end, Feng Bujue, who had been messing around for three minutes, turned around, adjusted his collar, and cleared his throat. "Looks like it really can't be opened."
Invincible Champion cursed internally, "F * ck!"
However, he could not curse like that, so he could only yell angrily, "Of course! Didn't I say that from the beginning? "
"You were just saying," Feng Bujue replied. "And I proved it with my own actions."
"Kid, why don't you go and prove the feasibility of quitting and the subsequent system punishment?" Invincible Champion roared.
"Hmm … So, it was some kind of supernatural power that sealed the door …" Feng Bujue scratched his chin and said something that was pointless.
"You're ignoring me now?!" Brother Invincible's heart was burning with rage.
Passing Rain watched from the side for a while before turning to walk down the dark corridor on the first floor without saying a word. Since someone had proven that the door could not be opened no matter what, she did not want to continue watching this farce. Laughing Soul followed and left the living room with her.
Seeing the two walk away, Long Aomin wanted to say something but stopped... Brother Invincible, who was fuming, and he shouted, "Hey! Don't run! If you trigger the trigger … "
"It's fine." "From the content of the quest, the more things that are triggered, the better." As he spoke, he walked to a glass window next to the door. The window was rectangular, about one meter tall and one foot wide. The top of the window was pointed, and the frame was made of wood. Looking out, the other side of the window appeared to be covered by a layer of fog, making it impossible to see what was outside.
Feng Bujue took out the wrench and swung it at the window. When the iron weapon landed heavily on the window, Feng Bujue felt his arm go numb like the wrench had hit some kind of metal resonator.
"Hmm … This window is similar to the door. There is some kind of barrier formed by some kind of force," Feng Bujue said.
Invincible Champion shook his head and sighed. "That's why I say you amateurs have no common sense … Why would the system create a scenario that requires brute force at the start of the game?" He turned to walk up the stairs. "The three of you are together, right? Please don't follow me. In an indoor environment, I might not even be able to clear the scenario with three newbies around. You guys will be responsible for the first floor, and I'll deal with the second floor alone. "
Invincible Champion had already decided that the three of them were the kind of teammates who were super useless. Other than the 'Team Guardian' by the name of Long Aomin, who looked quite capable, the other two were seriously unreliable. The 'Panicked Ambusher' was already trash based on his title, and the 'Cold-blooded Headcracker' had an unknown title. His attitude made Invincible Champion very uncomfortable, and he had shown many ignorant behaviors.
The thing that annoyed Invincible Champion the most was when people asked him about how Fearless Champion was the first to reach level twenty. Those who did not know anything about their studio loved to ask questions about this and that. Actually, in Regulation, being able to level up quickly did not mean anything; it was just a matter of division of labor.
In the year 2055, professional players were already a very mature industry. Among them, the most common ones were some small studios. They thought that they were professionals, but in reality, they lacked the ability to plan and execute. Most of the time, it was the bosses themselves who took on the roles of management, finance, and game leader. Moreover, most of the bosses still had the heart of a pure gamer. They often did things under the guise of public office for personal gain, using the collective resources to create a false reputation for themselves in the online world. There were as many studios as there were hairs on a cow. They were formed and disbanded frequently, and their income was very unstable. These studios formed the bottom layer of the industry.
Looking up, the middle layer of the industry was mostly small studios that had a certain level of management and talent. The only difference between these smaller teams and the bottom layer was that they had one or two 'star players', who were experts in certain games. In a competitive game team, sometimes one or two of such stars could support the entire studio. However, most studios that could reach this level had already broken away from the management style of a bandit. They were able to use the resources of the team with a plan.
To put it bluntly, no matter what industry it was, if you wanted to do it for a long time, you had to have a long-term plan. A gaming team without a plan was no different from a group of amateurs. They just had more time to play games.
And at the top of this industry, it was a first-rate studio like "Order". They had a specialized management team in charge of planning, and the gaming team was divided into groups to do their homework. In the six-man team that was mainly responsible for leveling up, their specializations and individual roles were very clear. The items, resources, and information were also shared in real time within the studio. All the equipment and skills that the members obtained were given to the leveling team first.
Players like Invincible Champion who were 'scattered' solo players all had missions to do. For example, Invincible Champion, his level was not important. His main mission was to raise the level of his fighting mastery and gather information. It did not matter if he did not train his other mastery or not. It did not matter if he did not have equipment. These could be improved through the team in the studio. Regulation now wanted first-hand information, and Invincible Champion was in charge of testing the actual effects of his fighting mastery.
Therefore, whenever Invincible Champion was asked about the studio by a stranger, he only felt one word — annoyed. First, this was a trade secret, and he had an obligation to keep it confidential. Secondly, even if he could, he had no interest in explaining it to others.
"Okay, but Brother Invincible, you have to be careful when you're alone," Feng Bujue said with a kind smile.
When Invincible Champion heard that, he suddenly shivered. A strange feeling caused his Terror Points to rise again. It was as if Feng Bujue's words foretold something bad was about to happen.
He turned back to glance at the three people in the living room. He chased the strange thought out of his mind and turned to go up to the second floor alone.
Seeing his back disappear around the corner, Long Aomin opened his mouth to ask, "Brother Feng, why did you purposely act dumb?" He was confused. "You have to know how careful the system is … This door and window obviously cannot be opened. Even if you want to give it a try, you don't have to go so far, do you?"
"I had to put on a good show to make him think that I don't know anything." Feng Bujue said, "Then he would do something like this, ditching us as a burden and moving on his own."
"Brother Jue, you're not planning to do something behind his back, are you? You can't attack your own people in this game," Wang Tanzhi said. Wang Tanzhi said. When he helped Feng Bujue remove the door earlier, it was not because he wanted to cooperate with Feng Bujue but because he really thought the door could be opened.
"I'm not trying to harm him. I just think it's more efficient to split up in a scenario like this," Feng Bujue said. "The two girls agreed with me and left on their own. But this guy … I'm afraid he's not the kind of person who will discuss things with us. " He paused. "From his perspective, in terms of level, he is the highest, and in terms of gaming skill, he is a professional, so he should have the most say in the team. If I suggested splitting up, he would have objected immediately. When I went to pull the door open, he tried to stop the other two from leaving the team. This goes to show that he originally planned to work as a group. " Feng Bujue walked to a wall and squatted down like he was observing something. "This is for the best. He left on his own." He used his palm to peel away the spider webs and dust on the wall. "We should split up as well. When we see the hint about the change to the main quest, we'll come back here to meet up."
Xiao Tan gasped. "We're going to split up as well?"
"Didn't I say it's more efficient to split up?" Feng Bujue replied. His eyes did not move away from the wall. "Don't worry. This kind of large house is definitely haunted. I don't think there will be any monsters like the Xenomorph. Therefore, the main purpose of this scenario is to scare people and solve puzzles. The things that might cause physical harm are most likely traps. Just be careful. "
Before he could finish his sentence, the system notification sounded again. [Side quest triggered.]
The three looked at the quest menu. The original main quest was still there, but there was a new quest at the bottom. "Find all six sections of the 'Haunted Palace'. Current Progress 1/6
