Chapter 175: Chapter 173: “This is definitely a trap.
“Ding, the team leader of ‘Rabbits Do Not Kill,’ Chen Yi, has chosen to enter the D-level map ‘Silent Deserted Island.’ Each player in the team must pay a deposit of 2,000 Points.”
“Team players are: Chen Yi, Tuberculosis Rabbit, Sword Without End.”
“Below are the map content and specific rules.”
“You have been imprisoned in a secret room deep within the deserted island by so mysterious people, and there is a ti bomb set to explode in 4 hours beside you. The bomb is powerful enough to level the entire island to the ground, and you must escape the island within 4 hours.”
“Map clearance rule: Successfully escape from the deserted island secret room.”
“Map rules”:
1: On this map, all titles, Skills, Props, Vehicles, etc., can be used normally without any restrictions.
2: There is a hidden passage in the secret room that leads directly to the outside of the deserted island, but a password must be entered. If the password is entered incorrectly three tis in a row, the bomb’s countdown will be reduced to 30 seconds.
3: Players may choose to exit the map early, but they must pay a fine of 5,000 Points in addition to the deposit. If there are not enough Points, they cannot exit the map early.
4: The evaluation score of the map mainly depends on the team’s clearance ti.
With the sound of the prompt falling,
Chen Yi and his companions slowly regained their vision, and as they steadied themselves, they imdiately began to look around. Being seasoned veterans, knowing their surroundings at first glance had beco a subconscious act.
A small room of about 30 square ters.
The distance from the ceiling to the floor, roughly estimated to be between 2.2 to 2.4 ters.
There’s a bed, a table, and on the table, an oil lamp alongside so scattered books.
It just looked a bit simple, the bed was constructed from wooden planks, the oil lamp emitted the sll of animal fat, and the room’s lighting relied mainly on this sowhat dim oil lamp.
Of course, after Chen Yi and the others arrived, there were many more sources of light.
The dense mass of titles above their heads was enough to brightly illuminate the small room, although it looked colorful, a bit like the atmosphere in a disco.
The room was completely enclosed on all sides.
There was only one closed wooden door.
“Is this the secret room?”
With a cigarette in his mouth and hands in his pockets, Tuberculosis Rabbit walked aimlessly in the room, observing every item casually and said, “No offense, but I feel like I could even kick that wooden door down with one foot!”
“Sword Without End, do you want to give it a try?”
“Why don’t you do it?”
Sword Without End frowned and gave Tuberculosis Rabbit a look: “Do you think I’m stupid? Even an idiot could guess that if we were to forcefully kick open that wooden door, it would definitely trigger so crisis, right?”
“And can you stop wandering around in the room with a cigarette in your mouth? I’m worried for you. Please keep the rules of July in mind.”
“Got it, got it.”
With so annoyance, Tuberculosis Rabbit picked up a book from the desk and flipped through it randomly: “What kind of crappy rule is that for July, not smoking feels like my combat power has plumted.”
“Better not to smoke, be a civilized person indoors.”
“Do I look like a civilized person to you?”
anwhile, Chen Yi had also surveyed the room and had a rough understanding of the situation, there were two passages.
One was that closed wooden door, and the other was a password door on the wall.
If the correct password is entered, the password door can be opened allowing passage through the secret tunnel to leave the deserted island. According to the display on the password door, it’s a 6-digit password.
A 6-digit password.
Without any information, guessing a 6-digit password correctly is virtually a fairy tale.
There are a million different combinations, with a one-in-a-million chance of guessing correctly on three tries, barely better than the odds of winning the lottery.
As for that wooden door, it was most likely locked from the outside, and there must be so information or tool within this room to help them unlock the wood door and leave the room.
So far, however, no clues have been discovered.
“Hmm?”
The Tuberculosis Rabbit’s eyes suddenly lit up as he noticed a slight bulge under the blanket on the bed. He strode over, lifted the blanket with one swift motion, and pulled out a sowhat yellowed leather-bound book from underneath.
“We’ve got information!”
Chen Yi and Sword Without End, who had been exploring separately, instantly hurried over to join Tuberculosis Rabbit in examining the diary for any useful information. It seed this map was designed for an intelligence challenge; they couldn’t use force and had to find critical information to proceed.
A while later.
The group had finished reading all the information recorded in the leather-bound book; it was a diary.
But everyone fell silent, standing still.
After a while, Tuberculosis Rabbit quietly offered his assessnt.
“Another idiot.”
“I once saw a TV show about a ga. In it, the protagonist, a team captain of an esports ga, could talk to a man from the future.”
“Whenever the protagonist talked to that man from the future, they only discussed won, the ga, and whether his team had won the championship.”
“When I saw that scene, my head was filled with curses.”
“With that ability, why care about your crappy ga team? Why not ask about the lottery? Stocks? Or even just go into cryptocurrency? But no, he asked nothing but whether his team had won the championship in the future.”
“At that ti, I kept thinking about what kind of brain-dead screenwriter would co up with such a plot. Now it seems like that screenwriter must have been involved in designing the background for this map.”
The owner of the diary, who was also the owner of this house, recounted his bizarre and brief life.
Basically, he had drunk-driven and killed soone, then attempted suicide out of guilt, but didn’t die and instead was reborn in the past—an almost protagonist-like situation.
But this person didn’t use his ability to change his life; instead, he saw it as a chance for redemption given by God.
In his faith, murder was a grave sin, and suicide was an ever greater sin!
So, this person found an isolated island and confined himself there.
He hoped that by doing so, he could atone for his sins and cleanse himself of his wrongdoings.
“You can’t say it like that.”
Sword Without End actually felt so admiration: “People who are so steadfast in their faith are actually quite admirable. If I had that ability, I could go back and save my wife.”
Chen Yi didn’t comnt but frowned and bent down to continue searching under the bed. He hadn’t expected to find anything, but this look indeed led him to discover sothing new.
Lying beneath the bed was a body that didn’t seem very fresh, with an identity card still in its mouth.
Chen Yi took out gloves from his pocket, put them on, and then removed the identity card from the corpse’s mouth.
The long string of numbers on the identity card made Chen Yi squint unconsciously, looking at the password door that led to the secret passage inside the room.
Sword Without End also noticed this scene and chid in at the right ti.
“According to big data, nearly 34% of people use their own birthday as a password; 26% of people have so numbers that are significant to them, such as their identity card number, phone number, etc.”
“And a few sentintal types use their girlfriend’s or ex-girlfriend’s birthday as their passwords.”
“We could try the birthday; it might just be the correct password.”
“The birthdate on this person’s identity card is March 27, 1989, so the password could very likely be 989327.”
“No, that won’t work.”
The Tuberculosis Rabbit shook his head seriously in denial. “That’s definitely a trap. If it were that simple, more than just the ‘Skywake First Team’ would have cleared this map.”
“So what do we do?”
Sword Without End spoke with a hint of helplessness: “We don’t know the password for the password door, and we haven’t found any clues to open the wooden door. How are we supposed to get out of this secret room?”
“We can’t just go straight over and push the wooden door open to leave the secret room, right?”
…
ps: These are the two chapters I owed from last night; I’ll try my best to code the three chapters due for tonight.
