Chapter 134: Chapter 125 The Infinite Trial and Error Method
This darn game really gets under your skin!
A new cycle of Reincarnation began...
And then, before I could do anything, I dropped dead in an instant.
Wang Hao wouldn’t accept that.
A new cycle of Reincarnation started once again!
And then,
I died again.
Who knows how many times I’ve been resurrected.
Wang Hao expelled the stale air from his chest and patted his frightened little heart.
He took off his helmet, picked up a pencil, and sketched the image of a house on a piece of white paper.
Then he wrote some words: "This room is home to a strange green-clad creature, indistinguishable from humans at first glance, tempting people into its lair."
"There are some cobwebs inside the lair that can bind prey."
"Its unique ability is to stick its tongue into someone else’s mouth..."
After writing these words, he breathed a little easier, "Such a seductive and cheap ability, but the creature seems to be in a state of confusion."
"I reckon the exploration team could kill this thing."
"The crappy exploration team finally has a creature they can defeat!"
"Hooray!"
Over a dozen A4 papers were spread out on the computer desk, on which a map of Paradise Village and many descriptive notes were drawn.
In the blink of an eye, I had written thousands of words, and my hand holding the pen was getting a bit sore.
"A high school exam essay only needs eight hundred words, which is like five or six mini-essays."
"Playing a game is not easy."
With this laborious achievement in hand, Wang Hao felt a bit smug.
Constant dripping wears away the stone, sooner or later you’ll grind it down.
That’s right, as the "God of Infinite Resurrection," I could find more information by sheer number of lives, just by dying over and over again, it’s the dumbest but also the simplest and most reliable method.
Forget the exploration team, I couldn’t be bothered to deal with characters like "Pan Hao," "Gregory," "Priest," and the like.
Just directly control the Main Character and wander around the village alone!
Not to mention, this kind of random exploration style of gaming has a bit of a thrill, dying at any and every creature encountered!
All sorts of bizarre death scenes could make for a best-selling horror novel with a solid three-thousand-copy subscription.
Whether it’s being caught by a toothless old hag who sucks you dry of your essence; being happily chewed on by a three-headed geezer; or having your neck snapped by a bunch of seemingly fit ladies who hop about in the air...
That scene...
Utterly refreshingly painful!
So, after dying god knows how many times, I finally emptied out all the information within a 500-meter radius!
"I wonder just how big Paradise Village is, are there too many monsters, perhaps?"
Through incessant deaths, old Wang realized that some creatures were barely communicable.
Yes, like your neighborly old man, they retained a little bit of their senses.
It’s just that these guys were very irritable, and before I could get any information out of them, I was snuffed out, which was very frustrating.
Completely powerless, in the village, I was just food.
"Ah, darn it, what to do next, continue gathering information?" After writing down this batch of information, Wang Hao stretched and scratched his head, falling into deep thought.
Seems kind of interesting, maybe do it a hundred million more times and empty out the entire village?
"Wait a minute, could it be that deep down in my bones, lies a hidden Talent for being a masochist, craving the lash of the whip and the drip of the candle, this... can’t be right, can it?"
What’s going on?
Wang Hao was actually a bit tired, scrolled through his phone for a while, and then asked in the "Save the Multi-universe Group": "Bros, I have a friend who finds joy in being abused in games and has discovered a hint of being a masochist, does he need to check himself into a mental hospital?"
The crowd was still lively as ever, with joyful videos of grinding mirrors, clipping toenails, and such being sent constantly.
Someone replied quickly.
[Eternal Donkey]: "Bro, most people are just curious, not true masochists. Have your friend watch those ’Rich Lady’s Joy Ball’ and ’Rich Lady’s Joy Stick’ videos, and ask himself if he can accept such a practice, then he’ll know what true masochism is."
[Video][Video]
Wang Hao took a deep breath and opened the video.
That’s one twisted video!
The harsh scrubbing of a rough steel scouring pad over skin, just thinking about it made his scalp tingle, more horrifying than the big yellow-toothed hag from the game.
Another video: A stick beating frantically, my heart began to beat with the stick as I watched.
"Bang~Bang~Bang!"
So that’s how it is, this is far too heavy for my taste, definitely unacceptable.
Just then, the topic of conversation in the group changed once again.
A fierce argument ensued.
Cloudsea God: "At the age of seven, I thought capturing a cicada meant seizing the entire summer. At seventeen, having kissed your face, I believed we’d be together forever. At twenty-seven, I encountered her again, thinking we could rekindle our past bond, but she told me it was eight hundred for the night..."
And so, the tone of the discussion shifted once again.
Countless people frantically copied this snippet of text, forming a long string.
Namo Gatling Bodhisattva: "The body and hair are gifts from our parents. We dare not damage them. If a person cannot cherish their own body and indulges in excessive desires, leading to a weakened constitution and a plethora of illnesses, and even potentially alarming and worrying their parents with rampant viruses..."
Wild Man from the Northeast: "I support abstinence starting today!"
There it was, the war between the Abstinence Party and the Indulgence Party had begun again.
"These people are too twisted. Compared to them, I’m just an innocent boy."
Wang Hao relaxed for a while, stopped scrolling through the chat group, and continued playing the game.
He was not someone who got discouraged easily. After some thought, he realized it wasn’t masochism that made the game fun but rather the freedom the game offered in exploring the village, which was quite interesting.
It was undeniable that the multitude of "exquisite" models and the wide variety of strange abilities were quite different. Even inside some houses, you could find small "treasures."
In the absence of death penalties, encountering different scenes became a novel experience.
Wang Hao understood this was the game company showing off their prowess!
"No wonder they had me buy the Unlimited Resurrection Voucher from the get-go, it was all for the sake of the gameplay experience. If I had to pay for each resurrection, I’d definitely be annoyed."
The game developers indeed put effort into creating the game, so he played with dedication, even manually drawing up intelligence reports to achieve a greater sense of accomplishment.
Sometimes, haste does not bring success. It’s unrealistic to achieve certain goals in the short term. With a Seven Stars difficulty script laid out and the game company still flexing their muscles, how could one expect an easy victory with such a severe lack of information?
But when he loosened up and played at his own pace, allowing himself to relax, he actually stumbled upon some valuable information!
Unbeknownst to him, he wrote down five pages of A4-size notes full of images and text. When he looked at the time, it was already midnight, and he did not feel sleepy in the least.
"The current suspicious intel is as follows."
First, directly across from Ganlu Temple, in a section of water about a meter deep, you can pick up a small wooden box.
The strange green creatures at the bottom of the river are more aggressive at night and do not appear during the day. Taking advantage of the last few minutes of light, you can fish the box out of the water.
Upon opening the box, you find it crammed with gold and jewels?!
Besides, there are four other locations hiding jewels.
Wang Hao couldn’t figure out what use these ordinary-looking jewels served... The box was just an ordinary box with no intel inside.
These jewels could easily sell for millions or even tens of millions in the real world outside the village.
Yet they held no value within the village.
Why was it designed this way?
It was utterly baffling.
"Could it be part of the game’s setting, Paradise, right? Hiding some treasures wouldn’t be strange. Maybe it’s an easter egg from the official game?"
The second clue involved groping around in the dark; as long as you’re lucky and continually use the SL (Save Load) function, you could avoid the creatures.
If you head roughly two hundred meters southwest from Ganlu Temple, you’ll find an abandoned house that’s safer than staying at Ganlu Temple itself.
At least by the next morning, you won’t fall victim to the attacks of the red-dressed lady!
This piece of information could save the lives of an entire exploration team!
Then there’s the third clue: Heading due north from Ganlu Temple, the risk level and the density as well as the strength of the creatures greatly increase.
He spent so much time using the SL operation on the north side that it made him somewhat reluctant to explore further.
After walking about a kilometer, a wall over two meters high blocked the path, covered in writhing ivy that was impossible to climb. Even with the Main Character’s slender arms and legs, he couldn’t scale this barrier.
All over the wall, you could find the same phrase: "Drink the water from the well to the north, and your drowsy heart will awaken!"
Meaning, drinking that well water could drastically improve your sanity!
The handwriting was not the same.
In other words, many people had written down this phrase.
This was strange.
"The old neighbor said there’s a well to the north of the village that holds powerful energy."
"Could it be that this well lies within that walled enclosure?"
And there was a fourth clue: If you continue westward along the wall and come across an open gate, from afar you can see creatures squatting near the gate, eyes closed, seemingly drowsy.
Wang Hao didn’t dare to proceed.
Then he noticed dark red writing on a nearby wall: "Blood Demon disasters are beyond human control, my time is short, and illusions are rampant. Barely clinging to life here, I carry shame and guilt, yet there is nothing I can do."
"One day, an idea struck me, and I had a revelation."
"But the momentum of the Blood Demon is established; given time, it will lead to great disaster. It might be best to destroy in order to rebuild, entrusting my hopes to those who come after. Future generations must remember: The enemy is not one."
"Black-clothed Guard, Li Xianfeng left these words."
This writing seemed to have been done in blood, and after many years, it had faded almost to the point of being invisible.
Wang Hao frowned, not quite understanding what Comrade Li Xianfeng was trying to say, and had no clue what sort of "destroy to rebuild" strategy he had in mind.
It was downright perplexing, like some cryptic word puzzle.
