Chapter 2: Murderous Wordplay

Chapter 2: Murderous Wordplay

"Ahhh!!!!h

"What kind of game is this!!!"

"How did it come about?"

Rorschach threw the sudden golden hourglass in his hand on the ground in horror, constantly reviewing his previous movements.

"I've been spotting re-extracting ...... And then...... Then the orange talent was drawn,...... And then...... And it suddenly appeared in my hand......"

"Damn, this game is real! It's like a ...... in a novel."

"Damn, I've been drawing Krypton?"

Rorschach looked at the lifespan balance [1] in the upper right corner of the game, and almost went crazy, the original 63 years of lifespan allowed him to clean Huo Huo for a few minutes?

Click again and you're hanging!

"Hourglass...... The hourglass said that it can reset time, so if I turn it upside down, will I be able to change my lifespan back?" Rorschach hurriedly picked up the hourglass and prepared to try it.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he stopped what he was doing.

"No, no...... I drew the hourglass when I was in life 2, and even if I go back in time, it will only stop at this time, so didn't I waste 62 years of life, and I haven't gotten the hourglass of time?

Rorschach took a deep breath, rejoicing in his sanity and not acting rashly.

Then the next thing you can do is to enter this game, since the game can consume life, then you must also be able to earn life.

Rorschach took a deep breath and tried to calm his restless heart, and looked back at his phone.

[The Gift of the Gods has been determined, whether to enter the game or not]

[Yes] [No]

Rorschach looked at the dark cottage and sighed at her aunt's bed.

"My aunt, why didn't you write a note when you played such an exciting game, and almost made me die, you should have died like this, ......right?"

After a sigh, I put my mind back to the game and clicked the button to enter the game.

[When the full moon is in the sky, you wake up on the forest path. 】

[Insects chirp in the dark forest, occasionally a wolf howls from the deep forest, and owls watch you in the twisted trees.] 】

[From the muddled memories you recall, you are a desperate gambler who was thrown into the forest by the casino owner to fend for himself because he lost all his belongings. 】

[This is a twisted forest full of dangers, beasts, demons, ghosts, werewolves, always ready to eat fresh flesh and blood, robbers, thieves will not let you go, even a group of goblins can tear you apart......]

[Let's try to live......]

The screen changes to a bifurcated treemap.

【Tree】【Tree】【Tree】【Path】【Stone】【Stone】【Tree】【Tree】【Strange Tree】.

"Bet...... Gambler...... What does that mean? Is everyone this identity, or is it just me?" Rorschach had a question mark on his face.

Click on the People panel.

[Unnamed]

[Race: Human]

【Profession: Gambler】

[Health: 10]

[Mana: 0]

[Attack: 1]

[Defense: 0]

[Constitution: 1]

[Strength: 1]

[Dexterity: 1]

[Wisdom: 1]

【Spirit:1】

[Perception: 1]

[Equipment: None]

[Items: Hourglass (orange), Lott (gray).] 】

[Talent: Gambling: When communicating with others, add a gambling option]

"This profession is really a gambler...... Even if you are down, you still have a deck of cards on your body, but this skill is ...... Kind of interesting, huh?" Rorschach probably understood.

It was probably his behavior of gambling his life to 1 point that shocked the system, so he was born with such a skill.

"Actually, I've always been a ...... who has been involved in gambling and drugs," Rorschach was a little shy.

I tried to tap [Tree].

[Rustling, you can't pull it out with your bare hands.] 】

Clicked on another [tree].

[The owl doesn't want to talk to you, and throws a dead mouse at you]

【Pick up】【Discard】

Rorschach thought about it, picked it up anyway, and continued to light the tree.

[You break off a branch from a dead tree]

[Thick Twig (Gray): Looks good for swinging, blunt weapon attack +1]

Equip it and point [Stone].

It was as heavy as a mountain. 】

It seems that the strength is not enough, click [Weird Tree].

[The strange tree wriggled for a while, stretching out countless thorn-like branches to entangle you to death!]

[Life-1-1-1......]

Lifespan -1, lack of life, death. 】

In the next second, Rorschach in reality saw the skin of his arms strangely burst out of countless blood spots, and the sharp pain like being entangled by thorns spread all over his body, his neck seemed to be torn by an invisible rope, and the painful suffocation filled his brain, and he also broke the cup on the table during the struggle.

"Sand ...... Hourglass ......" Rorschach reached out and held the hourglass upside down with all his might.

For a moment, he only felt his body stagnate, and as the golden sand in the hourglass flowed, everything around him began to rewind rapidly, the splattered blood returned to his body, the broken skin repaired, and the cup that he knocked down and shattered also reassembled and flew back to the table.

Go back in time, reunite after breaking the mirror!

"Whew...... Call...... ...... Rorschach reached out to straighten the hourglass, touched his neck in horror, and took a deep breath, as if he couldn't get enough oxygen.

"Really...... Really going to die...... Almost died......"

Look at your phone again.

[Brave adventurer, you reversed the hourglass of time at the last moment and avoided death. 】

"That's awesome...... but Rorschach quickly recovered from the shadow of death, and with this artifact, as long as he inverted the hourglass in time, he didn't have to worry about dying at all.

On the contrary, since this game has the ability to kill, it may also bring the abilities in the game back to reality......

Magic...... Strength...... Hey, hey, hey......

Thinking of this, Rorschach simply held the hourglass in one hand and played with the phone with one hand, making sure that he could reset the time at the first time when he chose the wrong option.

Tap [Path].

[As soon as the screen turns, you have come to a new path].

【Small Stone】【Tree】【Tree】【Tree】【Strange Tree】【Bush】【Path】【Tree】【Tree】

Dot: [Pebble]

[Throwing Damage: 1 point]

The trees were lit again, most of them could not be operated, and occasionally they could break a branch or a stick, and Rorschach saw that there was still enough space to carry the weight, and the number could be stacked, so he simply picked them up.

There is a high probability that [Red Berries] will appear in the [Bush], and eating it can restore a little physical strength, and there is a small probability of poisonous snakes, Rorschach has been bitten several times, and has been exempted by the Time Hourglass.

And although the [Strange Tree] knew that it was a tree spirit that could kill, Rorschach, who had the hourglass of time, still clicked it indifferently, and inverted the hourglass the moment the attacked text jumped out, not even giving a chance to be injured.

Just when he clicked on the tenth dryad, he actually clicked on a [dead dryad].

[The poor tree is disemboweled. 】

[Whether to rummage or not].

Obtain the Fruit of the Tread.

[Effect: Max HP +10, Max Eat: 100 points]

"Good guy, I only have a total of 10 health points, and I will double it directly after eating?" Rorschach was a little surprised, maybe the upper limit of 10 points of life does not have much impact on the later stage, and it is definitely a miracle medicine for newcomers in the early stage.

All of this is the credit of the hourglass of time, who would dare to point every strange tree like him, and think that there is too much life?

He probably had guessed that dying in this game would consume lifespan, and when the lifespan was cleared, death would follow in reality, so every chance to resurrect was precious.

Decisively clicked [Eat], and the life attribute immediately increased to 20 points, and at the same time, Rorschach also clearly felt a warm current from his mobile phone to himself, making him feel warm and comfortable, as if he had done a week's exercise.

"Sure enough, the attributes in the game can also be reflected in reality. Rorschach grinned at the corners of his mouth, and sat on the bed like an Internet addict teenager with his left thumb clicking wildly, spinning around in the twisted forest, frantically clicking on each [twisted tree].

This game map is really big, and there are many forks in the road, and I haven't found a way out after four hours in the woods, and the complex terrain makes Rorschach have to find a piece of paper to draw a manual map, so as not to go around in circles in the forest.

However, during the four-hour search, Rorschach finally found a lot of dead dryads, found more than a dozen dryad fruits in their corpses, and left five in his backpack after eating nine.

This kind of thing is also a very precious prop, and unless a high-level person comes to pick it, few people can try their luck to collect it.

After playing in the forest for a few hours, Rorschach's 90 points of vitality fed back to reality did not feel tired at all, and he was still able to continue in good spirits.

In addition to the trees, there are many monsters in the forest, and Rorschach recorded their locations on the map one by one, replacing them with a map that others may not be able to break through in hundreds of lives, so that he could edit it clearly in 4 hours.

To the east of the spawn point is the depths of the dense forest, the further you go, the more tree spirits there are, and even most of them will take the initiative to attack people, even if the screen clicks fast, it is difficult to go further when you reach the [Weird Tree] full of screens in the back, so you can only give up exploring.

There is probably a goblin nest south of the spawn point, and you will often meet a few goblins, Rorschach tried to pick a lone [thin goblin], and he was indeed able to win, but because there was only one wooden stick, one of the weakest goblins had to fight it alone for ten rounds, and before the goblin was killed, more goblins were already around.

This made Rorschach have to choose to go back in time and escape, scolding the developers of this game for their intentions, dignified humans, and even a goblin can't beat it.

To the north of the spawn point is a cliff, below the cliff is the sea, and you can see the fish-people in the distance, Rorschach jumped over the cliffs one by one, thinking if he could pick up any cheats, but unfortunately, the result was death without exception.

Obviously, the usual formulas of the East have not yet been able to catch on in the West.

Out of kindness, the scolding Rorschach carved a line of words on the stone tablet of the cliff to warn future generations: [There is no inheritance under the cliff!!].
