Chapter 690: Lights in the Stone Pillars (Subscription Request)
The first draft of the script for the game module "Harbor City Raiders" was provided by Gao Fei himself.
After the game was made, there were many changes, and even he, the original author, felt unfamiliar.
However, in terms of the overall style, his own creative concept was still implemented.
For example, in standard "dungeon" levels such as "Bear Goblin Lair", when the adventurer reaches the last scene, there is always a boss battle.
Only after defeating the boss and rescuing the hostages can it be considered a successful level.
From the day Gao Fei first came into contact with electronic games, to be exact, from "Super Mario" on the red and white machine, this concept has been deeply implanted in his mind.
From middle school to college, Gao Fei has always had a special liking for roguelike games.
Later, when he wrote novels himself, including writing custom game scripts for the Tiangong Design Department, he would emphasize roguelike elements. At the end of the dungeon adventure, how could there be no exciting boss battle as a climax?
Something is wrong!
This is not my style!
Gao Fei couldn't think of any reason why the game designer would go against his original intention and cut out the boss battle in this chapter - even though he didn't mention which boss to put here in the original draft.
It doesn't matter what monster is put here, but it can't be missing!
Gao Fei opened the star disk and checked the automatically recorded battle report. Maybe he missed something.
After flipping through it, he really found a suspicious text.
"Conduct a confrontation about 'passive perception'."
"Confrontation failed!"
"You didn't find any abnormalities in the execution hall."
I'm going to fuck you!
I obviously found something abnormal, okay? !
Gao Fei couldn't help but complain.
His level 6 thief has a passive perception of 16.
When someone sneaks up behind him, or disguises himself in front of him, a relevant test will be conducted. If the test result is greater than his passive perception, no abnormality will be found.
The same is true in reverse.
When Gao Fei sneaks behind the enemy and prepares to launch a sneak attack, he also has to conduct a "stealth" test to resist the enemy's passive perception. If the resistance fails, the opponent will be alerted and avoid the sneak attack.
Since it is a "passive" perception, Gao Fei will not get a system prompt, similar to the DM secret dice in the board game group.
If he hadn't turned back to look at the battle report, he would not have known that such a confrontation had been carried out.
In fact, the fact of looking at the battle report is a bit beyond the game.
Of course, it can also be considered that the player's vigilance exceeds the game role he plays, which is a manifestation of the "human performance" providing additional bonuses.
The question now is, why does the system test my passive perception?
What exactly do you want to hide from me?
What will you find if you win the confrontation just now?
With full of doubts, Gao Fei stood outside the hall door and carefully observed every corner and every furnishing in the hall, looking for suspicious points.
Finally, Gao Fei's eyes fell on the stalactite column.
In the end, the most suspicious thing is the lantern that emits magical light!
Under normal circumstances, when an intruder enters this hall, his attention will be attracted by the light emitted by the lantern on the stone pillar, ignoring the other dark caves on the stone pillar.
The old saying "darkness under the lamp" is not referring to this situation?
There are seven holes on the stalactite column, but only one of them has a lantern.
The other six dark caves... Damn, could there be monsters like little devils hiding there?
That's right! Little devils are born with the "invisibility technique"!
The more Gao Fei thought about it, the more suspicious he felt.
For the sake of safety, he decided to try his luck first!
Gao Fei loaded the pistol with silent bullets, aimed at the center of the stone pillar, and pulled the trigger!
This is what he thought.
If there are ambushes hidden in the caves of the stone pillar as he worried,
The impact of this shot hitting the stone pillar will definitely alarm the monsters hiding in the cave, and they will come out to check what happened.
And when they see Gao Fei, the intruder, they will definitely try to call the police immediately.
At this time, the bullet embedded in the stone pillar will open a "silent barrier" with a radius of 20 feet, which can prevent them from calling the police.
Next, Gao Fei will consider how to proceed based on the specific situation in the hall.
His approach and his ideas should be said to be reasonable.
There are some risks, but unpredictable risks have been avoided to the greatest extent.
However, what happened next surprised him.
In fact, Gao Fei basically guessed the hidden stakes set by the game designer here, but there were only some small deviations.
The seemingly empty execution hall is indeed hidden with ambushes.
However, the ambushes are not hiding in the caves on the stalactite pillars as Gao Fei expected.
In fact, the so-called "stalactite pillars" are disguised prison guards lurking in the dark!
Gao Fei's previous failed passive detection confrontation failed because he failed to see through its wonderful disguise that was so realistic!
The stone pillar that was shot revealed its true face.
The originally smooth surface of the stone pillar cracked vertically, and a huge single eye slowly opened, flashing a ferocious red light.
The lower part of the single eye was split horizontally, revealing an organ that looked like a mouth, covered with dense fangs.
Except for the hole that held the lantern, the other six holes on the monster were spraying sticky colloid out of the body.
The colloid was flesh-red, extending into flexible tentacles, with a moist and smooth surface, waving wildly in the air, like an octopus claw squeezed out of the body.
Gao Fei was so scared when he saw this scene that he quickly shrank back.
The monster's tentacles kept stretching, chasing after his butt, winding like a snake.
Gao Fei had already exited the hall door.
He hurriedly glanced back and saw that the tentacles like organs were still chasing him. He couldn't help but sweat and ran up the stairs.
It wasn't until he turned the corner of the stairs that the tentacles that stretched to the limit were forced to stop. They squirmed for a while in an evil manner, and then shrank back unwillingly.
Wozhine Immortal Board!
What kind of shitty monster is this, full of Cthulhu style? !
I'm so happy!
Gao Fei took a deep breath to calm his violently beating heart, and then calmed himself down. He cast another "invisibility spell" on himself and tiptoed back along the stone stairs.
He took a peek and saw that the monster disguised as a stone pillar in the hall was crawling towards the stairs.
This guy moved very slowly, like a turtle.
It was estimated that it could move at most 10 feet per round.
This made Gao Fei feel a little relieved.
His speed was much faster than the monster. Even if he couldn't beat it, at least it wouldn't be difficult to escape.
