Chapter 104:24: Sneaking into Iltsk Oasis
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do it, don't do it, there is no PVP in this game!"
"If you kill me, you will be marked as a red-listed person!"
Face-shaping is the most basic function of games. Not only MMORPG games, but even FPS games have face-shaping features.
But the feature of face-shaping, which is common to all games and makes all players want to chop Gui Bi with a knife, is also a special feature of the game "Bai Jia Zhu Dao".
Without him.
The sense of immersion in the 100% immersive holographic online game is too strong.
"Gui Bi, you are talking nonsense. There is no such thing as a red name in this game. If there really is a red name, Yilei Miao, who attacked you, would have been a red name long ago!"
"This guy is really good at face-sculpting. It looks like the real thing. It looks so much like the real thing. Damn!"
"Awesome, I can't stand looking at characters like this while playing games, it's like saying you're from Japan on the internet."
"What's the big deal? When I go abroad, I always say I'm Japanese, especially when I spit."
"Gui Bi, go and try to see if you can sneak into the dungeon. A head-on fight is too difficult!"
After watching Gui Bi’s sculpting of the barbarian’s face, with a similarity of up to 99%, the resurrected players immediately became interested in Gui Bi’s cool moves. They clamored for Gui Bi to go to the front line to see if they could rely on the barbarian’s face to sneak into the dungeon quietly.
"Don't rush me, don't rush me, I'll go try it now!"
Seeing that everyone agreed with his face-shaping skills, Gui Bi raised his head slightly, a smug smile on his face. It seems that his face-shaping skills are quite good, and he can even make players want to chop him.
Gui Bi didn't even take his weapon. He put his hands behind his back and walked towards the city gate in a swagger.
When he arrived at the city gate, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who were responsible for guarding the city saw Gui Bi and quickly took out their weapons, shouting "enemy attack" while hacking Gui Bi to death with their swords.
???
The players who were watching the fun with Gui Bi were all stunned. After a few seconds, the players began to gloat over his misfortune: "Hahaha, Gui Bi is so miserable, he was hacked to death by the NPC!"
"This operation is too cool, it hurt my waist!"
"I guessed the beginning, but not the end. The NPC chopped Gui Bi into a pulp with a few knives. It was too bloody and violent."
"Hahaha, isn't this what he asked for? In the background story, more than 30,000 soldiers from Yancheng Town's northern army were killed by the barbarians, leaving only more than 100 people. The hatred was too great, so it's normal to see the barbarians hacking them to death subconsciously."
"Poor Gui Bi, he died before he could accomplish his mission!"
The soldiers defending Yancheng chopped Gui Bi down with a few sword strikes. Gui Bi lay in the resurrection pool, staying on the face-shaping page, and was reluctant to resurrect.
You finally figured out a good way to sneak into the dungeon, but in the end you couldn’t even get out of the camp and were hacked to death by the NPC?
This means that the official will not allow the face-pinching bug to occur.
Gui Bi, who remained in the face-shaping interface, was a little unwilling that this wonderful method he had thought of was not allowed to be used.
Although the Iltsk Oasis dungeon has been out for nearly half a month, players are still in the development stage. Whoever can sneak into the dungeon and explore it carefully will have the opportunity to get rich rewards.
Even though Gui Bi is only a fourth-test player, as long as he can sneak into the Iltsk Oasis earlier than other players and search the treasure chests in the Iltsk Oasis, he may have a chance to surpass Niu Bu and become the No. 0.1 in the game "Baijia Zhudao".
"Try again?"
"It's just one death anyway. I have enough resurrection coins saved up."
"Besides, resurrection coins are not expensive. I can still afford them!"
Gui Bi thought for a moment and decided to try again. He climbed out of the resurrection pool and saw some players staying around to watch the fun, so he came up with an idea.
"Brothers, help me!"
"Get a carriage, hide me in it, and take me to the dungeon!"
Judging from the NPC's behavior, the authorities probably want to prevent players from getting stuck with the face-shaping bug, or in other words, in the NPC's settings, they kill the barbarians on sight.
Gui Bi was not sure what the situation was, but he did not explore it in detail. Instead, he tried to find a way to avoid the NPC and leave the city.
Yancheng is an octagonal city wall that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Whether attacking from the outside or going out from the inside, it is extremely difficult.
Climbing over the city wall was not something that Gui Bi, who had not yet started studying, could do. The only thing he could think of was to ask everyone to protect him while he escaped under the cover of night.
After all, players are now actively doing dungeons, and NPCs don’t stop players driving carriages out of the city at all. They don’t even look at them and let them go directly.
"How to hide people? Stack them up! I'll lie at the bottom, and you guys stack them up on top. Just hide me!"
"Just give it a try. You have to download the dungeon anyway."
"General Guo, don't worry. This is the only time I can use the [Thousand Faces] ability to transform into a barbarian. It won't happen again.
I will strictly prevent my subordinates from turning into barbarians, please rest assured, General Guo."
Inside the watchtower on the city wall.
Looking at the carriage disappearing into the night, Chu Zhongxing silently withdrew his gaze.
The face-pinching function is similar to the magical power of [Thousand Faces] in this world, and some monsters such as the Nine-tailed Fox and Wong Tai Sin are also good at transformation.
Compared with the magical power of [immortal soul and indestructible body], the magical power of [a thousand people and a thousand faces] is nothing to Guo Xiaoding and others.
Players can use the magical power of [Thousands of Faces] at will, but today Gui Bi suddenly had the idea of pinching his face into that of a barbarian, which naturally angered Guo Xiaoding.
There is a deep blood feud between the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army and the barbarians. Thirty thousand comrades of the Zhenbei Army died at the hands of the barbarians. Now a barbarian suddenly appears in Yancheng, and simply hacking him to death would be considered a light punishment.
Moreover, the Imperial Shang Dynasty had always distinguished between Chinese and barbarians. Not to mention pinching one's face to look like a barbarian, even wearing loose hair and wearing clothes with the left lapel would be despised by the people of the Imperial Shang Dynasty.
And turned into barbarians
It can be said that even the people of the Imperial Shang Dynasty who worked for the barbarians looked down on them in their hearts and would not turn into barbarians.
"I hope Commander Chu can control his subordinates. There are some things that should never be done."
"A barbarian is a barbarian. What's the difference between transforming into a barbarian and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy from a barbarian?"
Guo Xiaoding had a grim face. After the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army killed Gui Bi, he and Chu Zhongxing received news that barbarians appeared in Yancheng.
Gui Bi's subsequent actions were also carried out under the eyes of the two. Guo Xiaoding wanted to beat Gui Bi, who had transformed into a barbarian, to death, but was stopped by Chu Zhongxing. In Chu Zhongxing's words, each of the subordinates he summoned was an independent individual with their own style of doing things. They would abide by the rules set by Chu Zhongxing and do things within his rules.
Gui Bi turned into a barbarian because Chu Zhongxing did not make this rule. The fault was not Gui Bi's but his own.
Chu Zhongxing promised that he would not allow players to transform into barbarians in the future, and Gui Bi, who was hiding in the carriage, gave him the opportunity to go to Iltsk Oasis, where life and death would be decided by fate.
Chu Zhongxing is the commander-in-chief of Yancheng.
Seeing the commander's explanation, Guo Xiaoding, the deputy general, naturally gave Chu Zhongxing face and allowed Gui Bi to hide in the carriage and drive out of Yancheng.
"The idea of distinguishing between Chinese and barbarians is deeply rooted in the hearts of every member of the Imperial Shang Dynasty. Fortunately, I am now the commander-in-chief of Yancheng, and Guo Xiaoding is also a relatively open-minded person who is not particularly rigid.
If this happened in the Imperial Shang Dynasty, I would have barbarians under my command.
Tsk tsk tsk, even if he doesn’t die, he will be exiled.”
Chu Zhongxing let out a heavy breath: "Never let this happen again."
"For players, the Iltsk Oasis dungeon is very difficult to conquer, and the 18 barbarians are very strong."
"But to the entire Imperial Shang Dynasty, barbarians are barbarians after all."
Analyzing from the fragments Chu Zhongxing knew, although the Yancheng Town Beijun was almost wiped out by the barbarians in the northern border, to the entire Imperial Shang Dynasty, the barbarians in the northern border were nothing.
The biggest problem facing the Imperial Shang Dynasty right now is internal troubles, not external threats.
The vassal states of the Shang Dynasty were powerful enough to overtake the royal family, thus creating a situation where the vassal states and the king jointly ruled the world.
Of course, these were all inferred by Chu Zhongxing from the information he got from Su Mu. Su Mu had been captured by the barbarians for thirty-six years. No one knew what the Imperial Shang Dynasty would become after thirty-six years.
As players were constantly killed easily by the monsters in the Iltsk Oasis, in the second half of the night, players' enthusiasm for attacking the dungeon was no longer as high as in the first half.
No one likes to be abused. Players were attacking the dungeon, but since it was difficult to see results in a short period of time, by the second half of the night, the number of players still attacking the dungeon had dropped by more than half.
Fewer people meant that it would be easier for the barbarian soldiers to defend the Iltsk Oasis. When Gui Bi arrived outside the Iltsk Oasis in a carriage, it was already the hour of Yin.
Generally speaking, around four or five o'clock, even the most energetic eighteen-year-old boy can't play games anymore.
Friends who often stay up all night know that at four or five o'clock, everyone basically stops playing games. Instead, they lean their heads on the sofa, put on headphones, and half-close their eyes to watch the videos of teachers going to the adult industry.
Yinshi is the time when people are most sleepy and least focused, including the players and the barbarians in the Iltsk Oasis.
At this time, there was a faint light in the sky, and the sunlight was trying to dispel the darkness. Gui Bi, who got off the carriage, was obviously in a different spirit from other players.
The difference between the two is like a group of students who have just finished an all-nighter and are about to go back to school encountering students who turn off the lights at 10 o'clock and get up early to do morning exercises.
"Brothers, success or failure depends on this one move, look to me!"
When the players were attacking the dungeon yesterday, Gui Bi was assisting Su Shan. Although he died once in the middle, Gui Bi did not spend the entire night dealing with the barbarians like the other players.
Although he did not attack the dungeon last night, Gui Bi was still somewhat familiar with the Iltsk Oasis.
After all, when the dungeon was first opened, Gui Bi led the players and relied on Yileimao's magical power of [using himself as bait] to successfully send Niu Bu into the dungeon.
"First, go get a set of barbarian clothes, then follow the previous route and see if we can get in from the place where Niu Bu entered the dungeon last time."
Gui Bi waved to the players who came with him, said goodbye to the players, and walked towards the Iltsk Oasis alone.
Nearly twenty hours have passed since the battle began yesterday morning. Although players continue to die, the massacre seems to be one-sided on both sides.
But some players still killed some barbarians.
According to the information provided by players in the forum, Gui Bi groped around in the night for about ten minutes and came to a barbarian who was killed by a player.
Cleaning the battlefield, erecting monuments and burying dead bodies are all things that have to be done after the battle is over. At this stage, players are still attacking the dungeon sparsely, and the barbarians obviously don't have time to collect the bodies of their dead tribesmen.
Weapons such as the machete had been picked up, but the corpse was still there. Gui Bi didn't mind that the clothes mixed with blood and dirt were dirty, so he simply took off the corpse's clothes and put them on himself.
"I've tried my best to reduce my height by pinching my face, but the clothes are still too small!"
The clothes were a little small and didn't fit well, so Gui Bi could only make do with them. After he changed into a set of barbarian clothes, he felt a lot more at ease.
Now, looking from a distance, he is no different from a barbarian.
"Disguise complete, start infiltrating!"
Gui Bi immediately changed direction and headed towards the familiar road. He jogged all the way, trying to sneak into the Iltsk Oasis before dawn.
After jogging for more than ten minutes, Gui Bi didn't meet anyone, whether they were barbarians or players.
After jogging for more than ten minutes, they were almost approaching the city wall of Iltsk Oasis. Gui Bi's heart, which had been at ease, began to hang in the air again. He paused to take a deep breath, and then continued running.
As the city wall not far away gradually approached, Gui Bi's heart was in his throat. He was now less than a kilometer away from the city wall of Iltsk Oasis. In the night, he could vaguely see the enemy on the watchtower.
"Damn it, let's fight!"
The barbarians on the watchtower were standing guard, glancing back and forth for possible enemies. Gui Bi slowed down his pace and walked towards the wall of Iltsk Oasis in a swagger.
"who?"
The appearance of Gui Bi attracted the attention of the sentry, who immediately drew his bow and aimed at Gui Bi. After Gui Bi swaggered closer, the barbarians on the sentry tower suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Snu Ruins Valley~"
The barbarians on the watchtower greeted Gui Bi in their own language. Gui Bi, who didn't understand what the barbarians were saying at all, just nodded and smiled in response.
Not getting a response from Gui Bi, the barbarians in the sentry tower didn't take it seriously. The tribesmen who had just returned from outside must have been very tired, so it was normal for them not to want to talk.
Although the barbarian in the watchtower was somewhat puzzled as to why Gui Bi came back alone without even a weapon in his hand, he did not step forward to question him. Instead, he actively opened the city gate and welcomed Gui Bi in.
Looking at the barbarian who opened the door for him, Gui Bi's heart was in his throat. Fortunately, his face pinching was very successful. Although the barbarian who opened the city gate kept staring at him and seemed a little suspicious, he finally let him enter the camp.
"Success!"
"Damn it, I finally managed to sneak into the dungeon in a fake way, but I don't know when I can really sneak into the dungeon!!"
False infiltration: Disguise as an enemy and use skills such as invisibility to sneak into the camp.
True stealth: Kill all enemies that find you!
