Chapter 6: .Hotel 626

After the field of vision suddenly went dark, when it lit up again, all he could see was a dark blue space.
A few light blue filaments are swimming around, they are the only light source in the "room" of about five square meters. The brightness change is very soft, so that the player will not be visually stimulated.
Lin You is no stranger to such a scene. She hung up on the main interface for a while when she first entered "Box", poke here and there, wishing to experience all the interactive places.
So I also know what to focus on at this time.
She cast her gaze to the translucent light screen floating in front of her eyes, on which personal settings were emerging in rows.
[Player name: Linyou]
No problem. Nowadays, they are all real-name games, and "Box" is no exception. Players use their real names as IDs to enter the game. Of course, the ID will not be automatically displayed on the top of the head, and it will be told verbally-which means you can tell others a pseudonym.
Lin You stared attentively at the next line of words that slowly emerged.
[Occupation: Summoner]
Lin You: "..."
……what?
What? ? ?
She looked at the words dumbfoundedly and continued to jump out, feeling that she was a little overwhelmed.
It is true that they are all horror games, and it's okay to give players some supernatural settings. Although the public professions announced are still dominated by those in modern society, Lin You remembered that when she hadn't received the helmet, she could only rush to the forum to relieve her greed. She had also seen a psychic master, alchemist, mad believer, and a complaint about herself. Forced to become a monk.
... She didn't expect to fall on her too.
This should be a hidden occupation?
Lin You vainly tried to remember what good things she had done-pinching the woman's hand? Guan plaster statue in the little black house? Do you want to run errands instead of women?
Or all.
"Establish a connection with certain creatures in a specific way," she said while looking at the job description, "borrowing its power under certain restrictions..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin You suddenly felt his hands sink.
She silently looked down at the heavy book with intricate patterns.
When opening the booklet, Lin You took a breath.
This is more like an illustrated book than a serious book. But currently, there are only ten card slots that are not gray, and three of them have been automatically filled in.
【Name: Gap Female】
【Card Number: 001】
【Level: R】
[Remarks: Although the female ghost living in the gap between the furniture and the wall can only scratch people with her claws, she has very sensitive vision and hearing and has eavesdropped on many gossips. I really mind that my face has become very flat because I have been squeezed in the cracks all the year round, and I will be so angry that I will become angry when I am pointed out. 】
...... Does she know something extraordinary?
Lin You looked down calmly.
【Name: Plaster Statue in the Studio】
【Card Number: 004】
【Level: R】
[Note: Are you still worried about theft when there is no one in the studio? Are you still worried about any students cheating from an invisible angle when you are proctoring the exam? As long as you have this plaster statue that can be monitored at 360 degrees without dead ends, you can solve all your troubles! PS. Because you can't talk, you can only make eye contact, and you may twist your neck if you turn too fast. Please pay attention to massage it. 】
So you will sprain it? ! No, why are you sprained in casts? !
【Name: Penxian】
【Card Number: 005】
【Level: R】
[Remarks: It is said that you can learn everything you want to know and predict the future by writing a pen. Sorry, this is a misunderstanding. He was an ordinary high school student before his death, and his combat effectiveness is considerable, but fortune-telling is easy to make mistakes! 】
Lin You was stunned as she watched the ghosts she had seen being exposed by the card description.
But the oil paint on the surface of the card outlines their most horrible appearance, and the characteristics are restored to Lin You's feeling that the artist can add a few more chicken legs. The combination of the two makes people feel like they want to laugh but can't laugh.
Summoner...
Lin You held up her cheek and flipped through this illustration book from beginning to end. Sure enough, the whole book was locked in gray except for the ten card frames, and it seemed that he would have to wait for his career upgrade.
The player level of "Box" is linked to the profession, that is to say, if you want to upgrade, you have to improve your profession. But she looked at the long list of experience bars, thinking she had no clue.
Lin You waved her hand again, and the illustrated book disappeared in the air.
If there is anything wrong with this game, it's cheating that there is no specific skill description, and the player has to explore it slowly.
The name of the summoner is just as the name suggests, with an illustrated book in hand, Lin You guessed that it might be to summon a specific ghost with an existing card. But she is not sure what conditions she has fulfilled to establish the "connection", and the "certain restrictions" behind it are also suspicious.
...It is better to go to the forum to see if there are any previous experience summaries.
Lin You always did what she thought of. She glanced at the time in the lower left corner. It was almost noon, and she just cut out for a meal.
After cutting off the game connection, Lin You took a long sigh of relief after taking off the game helmet.
The helmet is made of breathable material, but it is still a bit stiff after wearing it for a long time. After adapting to the light in the bedroom, she got up and walked outside.
It was the summer vacation of her junior year, and she did not need to re-study or internship, so she was naturally idle during the day.
Lin You had just arrived in the kitchen and was about to ask if she could help, but she was taken aback when she saw no one inside.
Thinking about it, I just came all the way and I didn’t hear any movement--
After all, just after coming out of the horror game, Lin You saw the note left on the table when he was involuntarily filling up some terrifying plots.
[Just know that you are playing games, and you won't listen. My father and I have been to the two-person world for a big meal. Although I hold my grudges, I can hardly save you a lunch. 】
Before I had time to be moved, I looked to the side. There was a piece of instant noodle cake in the stainless steel basin. The seasoning was sprinkled, and a boiled egg was added.
Lin You: "..."
Mother.
The demolition was done, and she resigned herself to boiling water. After lunch, Lin You sat back in front of the computer and started to browse the forum.
This game forum is all-encompassing. Although "Box" is a newly opened division, the traffic has risen to the top in the early days. After reading the first few pages, Lin You felt that it was of little help to her.
Most of the discussion in the forum is still popular professions. The most sought-after careers are medical-related occupations. A few days later, the liver emperor has risen to two or three levels. It is found that doctors can drive negative states and increase blood. It is simply an indispensable companion for home travel.
It's no wonder, what game can be without the nanny?
In contrast, the most popular student professions have little sense of existence.
She looked around and searched around with "summon" as the key word, but she couldn't find a second person with the same job as her.
Lin You realized that he could only get started and then actually experience it. She sighed, put on the helmet again, and entered the faint blue space.
Her reflection was vaguely reflected on the walls of the space.
The character image used in "Box" is a projection of the player’s reality, and only allows the player to make about 5% of the changes, but Lin You is too lazy to change.
When the synthetic sound welcomed her back, Lin You cast his eyes on the light screen and hurt the game menu. The "Newcomer Test Mode" has become gray and unavailable, and the remaining two columns are "Cooperative Mode" and "Single Player Mode".
...Since it is "cooperation" rather than "teaming", does it mean that there will be a "competitive model" in the future?
Thinking like this, Lin You reached out and clicked.
【You have selected the cooperation mode. 】
The soft synthetic sound rang again.
[The cooperation mode is a random match of two to twenty-four copies. Players must cooperate with their teammates to complete the task. Evaluation and reward settlement are based on the contribution of the team. No copies can be brought out unless specified special items. Agree to continue. 】
Lin You click "Agree".
[Matching... The matching is successful. 】
...This second row.
[You are about to enter the D-level copy of "Hotel 626"-countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven...]
After the last "one" and the familiar eyes went dark again, Lin You felt her body sway suddenly. She opened her eyes again and found her head hitting the backrest of the front row.
"My God, what's the situation?"
"Can you just hit your head when you come up?!"
"Driver? Driver?"
There were complaints one after another, and Lin You recovered, and found from their words that all the players in this car should be the same team.
This is a small business car. With a glance, there were five men and three women in the car, including her, eight people.
Everyone sits together in pairs. In addition to the driver in the driver's seat, there was a girl sitting alone in the front row.
Looking at the small flag in her hand, Lin Youxin said that their role this time should be tourists traveling with a small group.
"I don't know," the player who was placed in the driver's seat was also aggrieved, "the instance is here as soon as I enter the dungeon, I want to say what's going on."
"What is this?"
The "tour guide" waved the small flag in his hand and reacted, "Should I be a tour guide?"
"Uh," the boy sitting next to Linyou thought for a while, "Could it be a setting like a group of tourists traveling to the deep mountains and wild ridges and then the car broke down?"
Everyone: "..."
The player who was forced to act as the driver uttered a "fuck" and quickly turned over and opened the door to get out of the car to see the situation. Judging from his appearance, he might really have a taste for car repair.
Lin You looked at the person next to him at this time. The boy looked young, maybe two or three years younger than her, but he was quite tall. Looks like Qingjun and Sunshine. In school, it should be the type where little girls scream in the field when playing basketball.
"Hello," noticed her sight, the boy smiled friendly, "My name is Geng Qinghe."
Although she didn't know it was her real name and fake name, she nodded, "Lin You."
It was raining heavily outside, and the player who went out to check soon came up with his drenched clothes, and he knew that his expression was not very good.
"The car is broken and cannot be repaired."
He said: "I can only find a place nearby for the night."
Yes, stay overnight.
Lin You looked out the window, the sky was completely dark, and the time displayed on the car was 7:30 in the evening.
A girl grabbed the clothes of the person next to her. Seeing that the two behaved like a couple in a team, she asked timidly: "Can't you be in the car?"
At this time, a man in his early thirties also stood up.
"Can't be in the car," he said, "you see everyone is in a cold state, it's raining and in the mountains, really staying overnight here will freeze to death."
Lin You didn't notice the extra debuff on the status bar until he said, she touched her arm, it was really cold.
"There is a family hotel over there. The only choice we have is to go there."
Even if this copy is called "Hotel 626".
