Chapter 249 - Exploration
Ye Sheng stood over to check the memo together, but upon seeing the words on it, she felt speechless. She had originally thought that coming to the amusement city was like picking up money with a sack, but it turned out she had been too naive!
Now, they still had to search for the antidote...
Although the two of them had only been in the amusement city for less than two hours and still had plenty of time, it was better to prepare the antidote early. After all, killing the Guide Messenger wasn’t easy, and if the Nightmare Demon was even more powerful, that would be terrible!!!
They absolutely couldn’t gamble with their lives.
Besides notes about the antidote, the Guide Messenger’s memo also contained other information.
[Each amusement session lasts 36 hours. Once the time is up, even if visitors don’t want to leave, they will be forcibly sent away.]
[If you lose your life in the amusement city, you will also die in the real world.]
[The employees of the amusement city have a high degree of freedom and are not bound by many restrictions. If you provoke them, you may face deadly attacks at any time. However, killing amusement city employees can also yield rich rewards, or you can establish a transactional relationship with them by completing their assigned tasks for rewards.]
[Beware of the dark Abyss Monsters, endless killing machines that attack indiscriminately. (Those with dark halos under their feet are dark Abyss Monsters.)]
[Extremely valuable treasures are hidden in every corner of the amusement city. Brave souls, go discover and dig them up!]
Although the Guide Messenger’s memo seemed to have a lot of records, only a few pages were actually written on.
However, while the information wasn’t very detailed and was somewhat scattered, they still managed to glean some useful clues.
In simple terms, it was like picking up trash in the amusement city... or accepting tasks assigned by the amusement city employees to earn rewards, while also being careful to avoid wild monsters that attacked on sight.
It felt like playing a real-life game.
Although their lives were at risk, it had to be said that it was quite interesting...
Ye Sheng silently thought about all this, while Gu Luoyu, who had finished reading the memo, closed the notebook and immediately made a decision. They would first search the surroundings for any amusement city employees.
According to the small notes in the memo, the antidote was in the hands of these employees.
Or, by killing wild monsters, namely the dark Abyss Monsters, there was a chance to obtain the antidote...
With this goal in mind, Ye Sheng excitedly followed Gu Luoyu as they began to sweep the area. Due to the dangers of the amusement city, Ye Sheng lost the freedom to explore on her own, in case of sudden attacks.
However, during the subsequent exploration, Gu Luoyu actively accommodated her, letting Ye Sheng take the lead.
And she was like a powerful and loyal bodyguard, always by her side, providing a great sense of security, allowing Ye Sheng to focus on searching for treasures without worrying about other things.
But...
Searching for treasures among a pile of construction debris was a very difficult task... Especially since, unlike Ye Sheng, who could suddenly see text descriptions of items, Gu Luoyu couldn’t see anything.
Therefore, Ye Sheng was the only one leading the treasure hunt, so the efficiency wasn’t high.
Still, they did manage to find some things, like the dark-red gemstone in Ye Sheng’s hand.
[Amusement City Exclusive Psychic Gem: Increases the speed of psychic energy recovery. Each creature can use up to ten gems, after which they will no longer take effect. Can be recycled.]
Since the item description didn’t specify whether this Exclusive Psychic Gem was rare or not, Ye Sheng wasn’t sure if she was lucky or not. But for Espers, this gemstone was an excellent item!
Ye Sheng happily handed the Exclusive Psychic Gem to Gu Luoyu, urging her to absorb it quickly. Since the item description didn’t mention any negative effects, Ye Sheng felt completely at ease.
After this, Ye Sheng’s heart for exploration grew even more restless, silently praying that they could collect ten Exclusive Psychic Gems!
Although Ye Sheng also coveted these spirit gems, she couldn’t use them at all, which was a pity. But in the end, Gu Luoyu becoming stronger meant she was also becoming stronger, different paths leading to the same destination!
Through this period of searching, Ye Sheng summarized a somewhat uncertain pattern: the chances of finding treasures were higher in relatively intact buildings, while in dilapidated houses and ruins, it was difficult to find anything good.
Mostly, they found ordinary ores that could only be exchanged for a small amount of lottery points.
After this, Ye Sheng stopped wasting time searching the ruins and instead dragged Gu Luoyu towards various houses!!!
However, entering the relatively well-preserved houses wasn’t easy...
Ye Sheng looked up at the cacti on the roof that kept spitting, and couldn’t help but think of Plants vs. Zombies. She realized that when people were speechless, they really could laugh.
However, the saliva spat by the row of cacti was corrosive and had already eaten away a large chunk of the ground.
If it landed on a person, it would probably be stronger than sulfuric acid.
Moreover, since the spitting cacti were growing on the roof, it was difficult to get close to them... But today, meeting them, these cacti were doomed to bad luck!
Not only could Gu Luoyu use her psychic energy for long-range attacks, but Ye Sheng could also condense air bullets to shoot at them.
It was quite amazing. Although Gu Luoyu’s psychic energy was restricted in the amusement city, Ye Sheng’s wasn’t... Her air bullets shot at the spitting cacti were still very powerful, killing a third of them in one shot.
It was extremely effective~
Ye Sheng excitedly narrowed her eyes and eagerly fired a second air bullet at the roof, feeling as if she were holding a super powerful machine gun, going ‘ratatatat.’
However, just as Ye Sheng was about to fire another air bullet, Gu Luoyu stopped her... Originally, Gu Luoyu had just been standing by, letting Ye Sheng do her thing, but then she saw Ye Sheng getting so excited that she forgot about herself, not realizing she was about to overexert herself.
Although Ye Sheng wasn’t quite like Espers, she could only gain abilities through the lottery, she also had the problem of overexertion. While ability users overexerted their psychic energy, Ye Sheng overexerted her physical strength.
Overusing her abilities could leave her suddenly weak.
After being reminded by Gu Luoyu, Ye Sheng remembered this. She playfully stuck out her tongue and obediently stopped attacking. Then she looked up as Gu Luoyu finished off the remaining cacti.
It was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, overkill!!!
But at least the spitting cacti were completely wiped out, and the path forward was no longer covered in corrosive liquid. Once Gu Luoyu opened the red wooden door, Ye Sheng quickly followed her inside.
The house was decorated in a European style, with various wooden furniture and vases, showing that the owner enjoyed a luxurious life. Even the fresh flowers in the vases were vibrant and delicate, as if this place was a completely different world from the ruined wasteland outside.
“Oh, new guests have arrived. Hello, I’m Mary...”
In the next second, a dark arrow shot out, pinning the woman who had been walking down the stairs to the wall, instantly killing her.
Ye Sheng turned to Gu Luoyu in confusion, not expecting her to attack without warning.
Weren’t they supposed to do tasks?
Straight-up killing and looting!!!
