Chapter 295 Way to the Top (2)

The four had just greeted each other and were preparing to start discussing the next strategy. Calm Speaker’s expression suddenly changed, “Wait… everything in my bag has turned gray. Do you have this situation?”

With his reminder, the other three also opened the game menu and checked the inventory.

“Me too. It’s all gray. Nothing can be taken out,” Autumn Wind said.

“Same,” Feng Bujue followed.

Swan said directly, “This is the limitation that the scenario gives us…” He paused, “but the system didn’t even hint about this?”

Calm Speaker can be regarded as a conscientious thinker. His thinking may not be as fast as those of his teammates, but his thinking is very thorough. After listening to Swan, he realized another question: “What if… there are other restrictions? For example…”

“Time,” Autumn Wind took over his words and said: “Assuming this scenario only updates the Quest but not limitations. All settings and rules need to be explored by ourselves. Under such circumstances, the most dangerous factor is time. “

Swan nodded: “It is indeed possible… in case this scenario hides the time limit, and we are completely unaware of this rule and exploring slowly…”

“Time constraints or something, we should be able to find relevant prompts soon.” Feng Bujue interjected in a natural tone.

“Huh… that’s right.” Swan went on to think of Feng Bujue: “There are no rules that cannot be cracked at all. If there is a time limit, there will be similar plots or hints, and they should have appeared in the scenario early. If it appears when our time is obviously insufficient, it’s too…” Before he finished speaking, he stopped himself.

Swan turned his head, pushed his glasses, and looked at Feng Bujue with a suspicious look.

Autumn Wind and Calm Speaker hesitated a little bit and immediately understood something, both of them looked at Feng Bujue.

“What?” Feng Bujue immediately pretended to be stupid: “I said something wrong? Actually, I thought… Because you guys are here, no matter restrictions, puzzles, and other things will be quickly solved, So I’m just talking about it. “

“Uh…” Swan laughed: “No, you’re right, you have a talent for solving puzzles, haha…” Actually, he thought: Hum… it turns out just random optimism. His tone was so calm and sure, I thought you inferred it instantly, freaked me.

Autumn Wind and Calm Speaker also shrugged their shoulders, giving no expression.

However, Feng Bujue secretly sighed with relief and roasted in his heart that the conclusion that popped out of his mind was revealed as soon as he wasn’t paying attention… Fortunately, he didn’t say much, this is not the attitude of “focusing on doing nothing”. From now on, I better stop thinking and think about something else… right. Imagine the condition of Like Rain, um… beauty in fever…”

“Hey… why did this guy suddenly show a rather obscene look…” Autumn Wind whispered to Calm Speaker beside him: “Swan praised only one sentence but he turns into such reaction…”

Calm Speaker swallowed: “Is he a [censored]…”

“That word is a bit insulting, you should say homosexual….” Autumn Wind lowered his sound even more.

“Hey… don’t you still understand me after being censored…” Calm Speaker whispered.

Swan looked at Feng Bujue’s mouth with saliva and a smirk face and was even more convinced that this dude was just a retarded player. Hid title Dard Pioneer might just reveal that this guy always uses some stealth skills or goes to the bad NPC’s side in the scenario before.

“But… wait wait wait.” Swan whispered to himself: “Autumn Wind and Calm Speaker have known each other before? Listening to their conversation it’s not like that. How come they can stick together so quickly? Wait wait… Hey… Judging from their mouth shape, didn’t they just say ‘gay’… Are these two gays… And fall in love with one sight? “

This group of “smart people” had produced many misunderstandings in a few minutes…

“Huh… anyway, from the only hint right now. That is, from the title CG, the “reasoning club” is probably in this building.” Swan slightly raised his voice.

Autumn Wind replied: “If the ‘reasoning club’ refers to the entire building, the scenario is too simple, and it is impossible to just pass through the gate to end the game. “

Calm Speaker added: “That means a room in this building.”

“Um…” The three of them made a long hum together, imitating the standing posture of Conan.

At this time, Feng Bujue suddenly took out a box magazine from his jacket pocket, and said, “The items outside the bag seem to be usable.”

After a little while, Autumn Wind seemed to think of something, and he also took something out of his jacket pocket, which was a small packet of chocolate. He tried a few times and said, “But things outside the bag can no longer be put in the bag.”

“Basically, is it equivalent to being sealed…” Swan muttered.

“Then all the found items can only be held in our hands or packed in the clothes pocket,” Calm Speaker continued.

“Since we have figured out this rule, there is a question now… shall we go directly into the building or explore the surrounding maps first?” Autumn Wind said, “Put aside the time limit that we don’t know if there is any if we choose to go to the city to explore, even if we find something valuable, a few can be taken. For example, guns or knives can’t be carrying in the street…

“And… restricted baggage means that in the event of a battle, we can only fight the enemy with bare hands.” Calm Speaker added: “Although I am not incapable of fighting, I am not good at it after all…”

Swan nodded slightly and said, “It makes sense, but I think it’s better to look around at least first.” He explained: “First of all, we don’t know if we can come out after entering this building, the setting of automatic closing is very common; secondly, the starting coordinates after we enter the scenario are at the door of this building, not inside the door of the building, which also shows that there is something to explore outside the building, otherwise there’s no need for the system to put us here.”

“Huh… A bit capable.” Feng Bujue thought, “Even if the system doesn’t give any hints, he can still make reasonable guesses based on extremely limited known information.”

Autumn Wind and Calm Speaker agreed with Swan’s suggestion that Feng Bujue naturally followed the trend. The four of them had negotiated that they will simply explore within half a kilometer around the building to see the general situation of the scenario.

This “general situation” contains a lot of content, such as… what date is it, what country, what city, is it a completely fake story or does it have a realistic prototype, is the plot adapted from other artworks or is it purely temporary. Are there any zombies in the city? Are there any aliens in the city? Are there any haunts in the city? Are there any superheroes in the city?

These are all detectable. Picking up a broken newspaper on the road or picking up a functioning public telephone can confirm many things. For these puzzle-solving type players, completing this kind of information gathering should be simple and easy.

It’s a pity that in this scenario, they don’t have the opportunity to use this skill.

Ten minutes later, four people gathered from the four directions to the door of the building again. Three of them looked not very good.

“From the signs of newspapers and roadside shops, German is used here, but the system does not translate any.” Autumn Wind said.

“There are not many pedestrians on the road. All white people. I spoke in Chinese, but it seems they can’t understand me.” Calm Speaker said, “I didn’t dare to use force to stop them. After all, the police or something was bad for us. “

“Judging by the clothing of pedestrians, the appearance of public facilities, and the vehicles on the road, this should be the beginning of the 21st century. The location is difficult to tell since there are many German-speaking areas.” Swan said: “Because of the language is not the same, plus lack of currency here, it is really difficult to tell too much without breaking the law.”

Feng Bujue said the last: “I borrowed some change and his mobile phone from a young man about twenties, and tried many numbers such as 110, 119, 120, 114, 10086, (1) and all failed.” After pulsing a second, he continued, “I used the change to buy some snacks in the store.” He patted his bulging pocket: “If you want to eat…”

“Hey! This is not the point!” Autumn Wind interrupted him: “Since you know German, you should ask him for some useful information, such as the specific year and location of this scenario, have you heard of “Reasoning Club” or something like this?”

“Who says I know German?” Feng Bujue said.

“Ha?” Calm Speaker said: “Then how do you borrow… wait…” He seemed to understand: “Don’t you…”

“I stopped the young man and tried to communicate with him in both Chinese and English, but all failed.” Feng Bujue said calmly; “So I picked up a brick and pulled his collar and yelled two sentences in German, ‘Verräter, Versager!‘ And ‘Sie ist ohne Ehre!‘ “(2)

“God…” Swan covered his face with one hand and shook his head.

Autumn Wind’s mouth twitched: “That’s just robbing…”

“Ah… Turns out the brick is the international language.” Calm Speaker sighed.

Swan continued: “Let’s go into the building… in case the police come, things will be messy…”

Feng Bujue shrugged his shoulders expressionless: “Fine.”

TL’s note:

1. All are common use numbers in China. 110 calls the police, 119 calls the firemen, 120 calls the ambulance, 114 helps you to identify all numbers, 10086 is a Mobile Network Operator’s number in China.

2. These two lines came from the film Downfall (2004), Hitler, in his last days, roared these lines in anger, means “Renegade! Deadbeat!” and “You have no honor at all!”. The film scene was so hilarious in other languages, thus it was made into lots of versions in different languages. In Chinese, it’s similar to “Piss me off” and “People who hamper us are garbage”.
