“[Blue Girl’s Dream]” has already crashed 3 times.
In the first game, she was very lucky to get the help of the armored man, but she fell into the sea and drowned because she didn't grab the winged dragon with the rope hook at the last moment.
The feeling of drowning is definitely not pleasant, let alone this "damn nightmare game" which also mocks the players. The red-haired man couldn't take it and directly quit the game.
What the red-haired man didn't know was that he missed a huge opportunity...
Even after being resurrected, Blue Girl's Dream was still struggling in panic, as if she was still struggling in the sea unable to breathe.
After a while, Blue Girl's Dream finally realized that she was okay.
“I’m… I’m okay? I… I didn't die? Whew—Whew——————” Blue Girl's Dream took a deep breath, still a little afraid: “That feeling… is exactly the same as that time…”
Looking up, Blue Girl's Dream saw the huge light gate again.
“Is this a game… I didn't expect games to be so real now. By the way, when did I start playing games?”
After a moment of hesitation, Blue Girl's Dream entered the light gate again.
The second game, Blue Girl's Dream died again.
The same scene, having experienced it once, Blue Girl's Dream’s actions would naturally be different from before. For example, she also told the people on the ship that disaster was about to strike...
Of course, no one would believe a "drunkard".
The crisis arrived, but this time, Blue Girl's Dream didn't meet the armored man.
Blue Girl's Dream seemed to have not expected that because she took different actions, it would actually greatly affect the subsequent plot. Blue Girl's Dream, who was somewhat at a loss, died again.
The third time, Blue Girl's Dream finally figured out how to use the crossbow, but she still didn't catch the winged dragon, and she died.
From Zhang Xingyu's perspective, this girl named Blue Girl's Dream has great physical fitness. Even when the hull was tilted and overturned, she was able to stabilize herself and escape from the ship in time. Unlike Audrey, if she didn't find a favorable position beforehand, she would basically die with the ship.
However, Blue Girl's Dream looks completely like a game novice, not good at finding the system's intentions from game information, and doesn't know how to "use" NPCs, so she is still stuck on the key step of how to use the crossbow.
“[It’s best to learn the crossbow]”
This is the prompt given by the system, but Blue Girl's Dream never seems to have thought of going to NPCs to learn skills, instead she's stubbornly trying to figure out how to use the crossbow on her own...
It seems that this Blue Girl's Dream player will have to die a few more times before she can break through the prologue on her own.
It's okay to die a few times, the “food” harvested in the dream world will be more. After all, death is a “big meal”.
Of course, Zhang Xingyu wants to create a virtual dream world game, so he needs to grasp the difficulty and not be too “deterring” for players.
Although the Nightmare Lord can completely force players into the nightmare world, Zhang Xingyu wants to create a game that players dream of and are willing to fight tooth and nail to play, not a “death game”!
Zhang Xingyu didn't continue to pay attention to Blue Girl's Dream because the last two players who received the Nightmare Mark yesterday also entered the dream world.
A man and a woman.
The man was a bespectacled man with ordinary looks but sharp eyes. He seemed to be a studious type, so Zhang Xingyu gave him a Nightmare Mark to see how the bespectacled scholar (to be determined) performed in the nightmare world.
The girl was a girl with dark brown, low twintails. Zhang Xingyu gave her a Nightmare Mark purely out of curiosity because the girl was being disciplined by the student council in the corridor for illegally modifying her school uniform...
Zhang Xingyu took a few glances and found that the girl’s school uniform was indeed different from others. It had some modifications, making it look more cute, especially the short skirt part, which was even shorter… This was also the reason why the girl was being disciplined.
The two of them performed very differently in the dream world.
When the bespectacled man came to the bizarre nightmare world and heard those eerie words, he didn't show much panic but kept pushing up his glasses, seemingly observing something. (Putting on a brave front?)
The bespectacled man was also quite bold. He ignored the character image modification and the light gate and entered the endless fog to explore.
However, no matter how he explored, he would eventually return to the same place. In the end, the bespectacled man still created his own image according to the system prompts.
He was still a bespectacled man, looking similar to himself…
Well, actually, the current character creation can't be changed too much.
Zhang Xingyu discovered that this bespectacled man seemed to want to change his gender to female...
"Damn, I thought I brought in a scholar, but it turned out to be a quiet, introverted otaku?" Zhang Xingyu said with a wry smile.
The bespectacled man also failed to survive the initial kill, and even the second and third times, he continued to die.
"It seems that the scholar I chose this time isn’t that good.”
"Just a crawling creature without spiritual power." The Nightmare Lord opened one eye to take a look, then closed it and went back to sleep.
"In your eyes, 99% of humans are crawling creatures, aren’t they!" Zhang Xingyu couldn’t help but retort, then frowned and said: "No... You seemed to say they were ants before..."
"It's all the same."
"…………"
Interestingly, the bespectacled man took the name [Wild Abandonment] in the nightmare world. However, Zhang Xingyu couldn't see any "wild abandon" in him at all. He was a quiet and taciturn otaku who would push up his glasses whenever he was idle!
Zhang Xingyu felt like he really chose the wrong person!
