Chapter 295 Final (1)
Chapter 295 Final (1)
Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi stood in front of the display shelf in the souvenir shop, their eyes fixed on the cultivation manual on the bookshelf in the corner.
The two exchanged a glance and, as if on cue, began to calculate their remaining game points.
Gu Shijiu received 5000 play points from the Mirror Spirit, and Shi Qi also accumulated some, bringing the total to just over 6000.
Although the specific contents of these manuals are unclear, what cultivator wouldn't buy them?
"Shiqi, shall we buy this?" Gu Shijiu's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
Shi Qi thought for a moment and nodded in response: "That's right, Ajiu, this is a rare opportunity. If we miss it, we'll have to go to a sect to find something good."
"Then you choose, I'm unlucky." Gu Shijiu enters the script, and nine times out of ten she's on the verge of death.
Shi Qi touched her hair bun: "It's okay. Maybe this time it's all about fate. Only by choosing for yourself can you find the one that suits you best."
"Really?" Gu Shijiu stared longingly at the colorful, shimmering manual.
"Of course, you managed to come out of the Republic of China era, so how could you be unlucky?" Shi Qi comforted her.
Gu Shijiu was indeed comforted. The two of them picked and chose ten secret manuals and headed to the cashier.
The fee was still deducted automatically, and then the secret manual was sent out through a channel, like a vending machine.
However, these tips cannot be accessed yet; they can only be viewed after the competition ends.
Just as they were engrossed in discussing the secret manual, a somewhat sinister voice came from the side: "Congratulations to you two, you have successfully cleared the level."
The two looked up and were surprised to find that the speaker was Gu Yan, the NPC who was guiding the participants at the amusement park entrance.
He was holding an orange cat, grinning as he looked at them.
Gu Shijiu's heart skipped a beat; she felt that Gu Yan and Minnie were somewhat similar.
She stood up and asked in confusion, "Gu Yan, what are you doing here? And you look a little different than before."
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow: "You don't seem very smart, but you're quite perceptive."
Shi Qi frowned: "This is the awakened NPC you mentioned?"
Gu Shijiu shook her head: "That's Minnie, this one—I don't know her."
"So other NPCs have awakened too? That's great news!" Gu Yan pinched the orange cat's ears. "Where did Minnie go?"
"I don't know. It disappeared when we entered the last checkpoint, and I haven't seen it since." Gu Shijiu tried hard to recall.
"Heh." Gu Yan's lips curled slightly, letting out a sneer.
"Why did you awaken?" Gu Shijiu asked curiously.
"I don't know, it's just that the rules of the amusement park suddenly loosened, like someone pulled the rope that had been holding on loosely. Do you know what happened?"
Gu Yan stared at Gu Shijiu with a strange expression and great interest.
"Now that you've awakened, have you thought about leaving this amusement park?" Unfortunately, Gu Shijiu was completely oblivious.
Shi Qi, however, always felt that this matter was inextricably linked to Gu Shijiu.
"Of course I want to leave, but not now, otherwise Minnie's fate might be my future."
Gu Yan ignored them, a lollipop dangling from her mouth, and skipped away.
"What do you mean?" Gu Shijiu didn't understand.
Just as Shi Qi was about to speak, the loudspeaker in the square suddenly announced: "Attention all contestants, this match is about to end. Five seconds left, 5, 4..."
Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi exchanged a glance, put away the manual, and walked towards the competition hall.
Gu Yan turned back to look at their retreating figures, a resolute glint in her eyes, and walked in another direction.
When Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi arrived at the competition hall, other contestants had already gathered there.
Now, there are only 20 people left in the space.
Unlike in the past when they would rest for a few days and then go straight to the next match, this time, a tall referee in a black robe was waiting for them.
He scanned the entire arena, his voice deep and powerful: "Congratulations to all the contestants for passing the previous rounds."
Next up is the final match of this acting competition.
This match will take you into a whole new world.
There, you will face various challenges; only by successfully completing the mission can you achieve final victory.
The contestants below the stage all looked nervous and whispered among themselves.
Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi exchanged a glance; both of their palms were slightly sweaty.
The referee continued, "In this match, you will enter a new world with different identities."
Your tasks will be determined based on your status.
Now, all players, please prepare yourselves. You will be transported to the next scenario in one minute.
The contestants were buzzing with excitement, and the viewers in the live stream were also on edge.
Based on past experience, the last level is usually not that easy.
As the competition progresses and there are fewer players, the points will become more concentrated.
The total score of the Shide Guyuan Wine team has reached 5 million, ranking third among all teammates, not far behind the top two.
If we perform well in the final round, it's not impossible to win the championship.
In an instant, San San, her fans, and supporters of other teams all stared intently at the live stream.
After all, quite a few people placed bets.
In the final script.
Gu Shijiu stood atop the rugged mountain peak, gazing into the distance. As far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was desolation.
Black mist, of unknown origin, intertwined and rose upwards, swirling around the tree branches.
Further on, the fog grew thicker, and even the air there seemed to be a viscous black liquid.
Hmm, this time the condition is quite good; it didn't jump around in that near-death state.
Gu Shijiu didn't like the smell of the mist, so he retreated several kilometers.
The sky in this area was not so gloomy, the land and vegetation had returned to normal, and there was only a light mist in the air.
However, due to its remoteness, the area was filled with scattered rocks and weeds, and the word "wilderness" was written in every corner.
In a clear, secluded area, a neat, square bamboo house sits atop a flat, knife-cut surface.
This is all the wealth he has now, the result of Gu Shijiu searching every mile around.
She sat on the threshold of the bamboo house, resting her chin on her hand as she pondered: I wonder if this script requires eating?
As a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, I have neither the skills of infrastructure construction nor farming, so it will be difficult to manage if I need to eat.
And this house, with holes in the roof, drafty windows, and my own clothes are all tattered.
Having walked for so long that even his straw sandals were about to fall apart, he still hadn't triggered the plot.
Just as Gu Shijiu's mind was wandering and she was about to fall asleep, a glowing object appeared in front of her.
Although she didn't know what it was for, she instinctively took the item.
Huh?
