Chapter 513 Life Diary
Zhuge Gan’s diary looks very thin, but it looks very thick when turned, as if it is endless.
The former head of the Zhuge family should have been in his seventies when he disappeared. Judging from the content of the first page, he got this diary in middle age, and over the past few decades, he should have recorded tens of thousands of pages.
Of course, daily diaries usually have no useful content. Basically, what you eat today, who you meet, and what family affairs you handle. Occasionally, some important events will be recorded, such as the younger generation in the clan getting married, having children born, which old man passed away, etc.
How to say it, most of the diaries seem to be the life experience of an ordinary old man. Those major events in the cultivation world are rarely mentioned. Even if they are mentioned, most of them are just around the corner and there is no secret that everyone is looking forward to.
"The content of the life diary can be modified..." Zhuge Zi said: "It can be supplemented or deleted, but no matter how it is modified, the records in the diary must be true, and false things cannot be recorded in the diary."
In other words, the old man may have deleted some content that he doesn''t want people to see, and there should be no tricks in his previous life experience. Everyone turned backwards directly, and finally, after skipping countless pages, they saw records about the maze.
"I entered the endless maze. Not long ago, I heard Mr. Yuan mention that a little girl from the Federal Hell Creek family experienced this mission. According to the current information, this maze should not have been passed yet... I don''t know if I can get out."
"There were eight people who came in with me, three casual cultivators, three official members of the Yuan Cultivation Society, and two children from the big family. One is Chen Jin from the Chen family in Zhuque Town, and the other is Ling Yue from the Ling family... I heard Ling Ao mention this girl before, and she seemed to be a newly rising genius of the Ling family. She joined the royal family at the age of 20, and her future is limitless."
"We decided to take action and explore together after a simple discussion. But this maze is too big, the wall is extremely hard, and it is immune to energy attacks. Nine of us have tried various methods. Even my piercing cannon can only leave traces of more than half a foot deep on the wall, which is still far from the piercing. Moreover, the damage to the wall will automatically heal and cannot accumulate at all."
"It''s a pity that although I am at the peak, as an illusionist school, physical destructive power is a weakness. If it were the violent output of Mr. Yuan, I don''t know if it could be broken."
After reading this, everyone looked at Mr. Yuan, who spread his hands: "I have tried it too. The qi basically dissipated when it touches the wall. It only depends on a pair of flesh fists, and it cannot be shaken at all..."
"Indeed..." Zhuge Zi nodded: "Even if you use treasures, energy attacks are basically ineffective, and physical attacks and attached attack special effects are useless. Grandpa''s piercing cannon is rare, purely physical killing treasures, or legendary quality. All functions are enhanced directly destructive power. If you can''t even shake that, you basically don''t need to think about breaking the wall."
Hearing everyone say this, Luo Jun looked at his treasure box.
Because Mr. Yuan has been by his side, he has never tried to destroy the wall, but without the assistance of energy, he relies on his pure body, so it is probably difficult to destroy the wall... But if he uses tens of thousands of hammers...
However, even if it can be successfully destroyed, if there is no goal, smashing several walls with such a large maze will be useless, not to mention that this wall has a self-healing function, and the destruction cannot be accumulated at all. Let’s wait until more information is obtained.
Everyone continued to flip back. In the next few days, they were exploring in the maze. They discovered two relics one after another, and they were exchanged for supplies, but they could not support the consumption of the nine people at all.
Finally, after five days, the team began to fall apart, and everyone decided to break the whole thing into pieces and take action separately. Whether or not you can find supplies depends entirely on your own abilities. Every week, I will return to this breakup location to share information. If I don’t come back, I will default to dying in the maze.
As the most powerful peak powerhouse, Zhuge Gan is naturally a popular thigh. In the end, everyone decided to draw lots, and Chen Jin and him took action together.
"Today is the seventh day of entering the maze and the second day of separate actions."
"I don''t know if it''s an illusion. I feel that my luck seems to have improved after separation. This morning I found a relic and exchanged the supplies. In the afternoon, I encountered a treasure chest. The treasure chest was guarded by a group of monsters who cannibal flowers. Chen Jin used his ability to burn the flowers clean. We easily opened the treasure chest, which contained three silver ingots and a pile of copper coins."
"Before, killing monsters, they would drop ancient coins like this. I don''t know what it is. But the mission rules show that there are stores in the maze. Will this be used to buy things in the store?"
…
"Today is the eighth day of entering the maze and the third day of taking action separately."
"Very good. Today I encountered an endless store. We exchanged more than 5,000 yuan for silver ingots and copper coins we obtained these days and browsed the product list. Sure enough, there are clues about exports here, but they cost 100,000 yuan, and we can only indicate the direction of the export within an hour. It seems that leaving here is more difficult than imagined."
"There is no way, let''s make sure to survive first. We spent more than 1,000 yuan first, and each person exchanged food for three days. I don''t know when I will meet a store next time, but these things I exchanged for cannot be collected into the treasure box. If you buy too much, it is not convenient to carry. Save some food and you should be able to last a week."
…
After reading this, Ma Qiao and Sun Xiaowei both looked at Luo Jun.
I have to say that Luo Jun’s storage space treasure is really too convenient. Without this, they would not be able to exchange so many supplies in one go.
Of course, it’s not just this, but also a badge of 3,000 yuan a day, a video recorder that can record maps... These equipment are combined so that they basically have no pressure to survive.
Reading the contents of the diary, it took only a few days for collective action to be broken down into pieces due to the shortage of survival resources. However, Luo Jun''s treasures and operations allowed him to easily support a team of four people, as if he had already prepared for this maze...
Could it be that he knew in advance what mission he had this time? Have you made a plan?
Keep turning back, there is nothing worth noting in the next few days until the twelfth day.
"Today is the twelfth day of entering the maze and the seventh day of separate actions."
"We returned to the place we separated as agreed. After waiting for a day, the other four groups also came back."
"We were divided into five groups before. In addition to my group, there were three groups of two-person combinations, two official personnel, two casual cultivators, and one official and one casual cultivator combination. As for Ling Yue from the Ling family, she took the initiative to ask herself to have a group. This time, except for me and Chen Jin, Ling Yue and the official group, the casual cultivator combination, all returned completely, and that combination, only the casual cultivator came back."
"According to what she said, they encountered a powerful monster, and the official staff member was killed. She tried her best to escape."
"While we expressed our regret, we also exchanged information. Except for us, several other groups did not encounter stores. It seems that stores in the maze are not common."
"But Ling Yue encountered a treasure chest, and a lot of supplies were taken out of the treasure chest. There was no need to worry about food shortage for the time being."
"The two official personnel looked in poor condition. They only found one relic and exchanged some limited supplies. They forced themselves until now. We gave them some food, and the two of them were considered to have survived."
"As for the surviving casual cultivator... her name is Aliang. I don''t know if there is only one person. The resource pressure is relatively low. She looks in good condition. But she seems to be scared and a little absent-minded."
"This also makes me a little surprised. Although the monsters we encountered along the way are not very weak, the general state of mind should not be too stressful to deal with. If you can''t beat them, you can at least get around or escape. That official staff member is also a sheriff in a big city with a lot of practical experience. How did he be killed?"
"After our questioning, Aliang replied that the monster he encountered this time was completely different from before. It was a monster with irregular body and weird shape, which made people feel physically uncomfortable."
"Indeed, although the monsters in the maze are all kinds of strange, their shapes are still harmonious and regular. The monsters she described have different styles and are more similar to chaotic creatures."
"Chaos are occasionally seen in the Chaos Mission, but this generally means that there are signs of contamination in this Chaos Mission... Could it be that no one has passed this endless maze because of the intervention of Chaos creatures?"
…???????After reading this, Luo Jun looked at Old Yuan with a strange look: “Isn’t it normal for there to be chaotic creatures in the Chaos Mission?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone else looked at him in surprise, and Ma Qiao even shouted: "You kid, can you encounter chaos creatures every time you mission?"
"That won''t be..." Luo Jun waved his hand. The last time he encountered a Chaos creature was in the No. 6 amusement park, and he almost made a Chaos creature make a move. There is also the first Midnight Hotel. Now, when I recall it, it should be full of Chaos creatures... If Midnight is counted, they met not long ago...
"Your situation is quite special." Mr. Yuan waved his hand and said, "Your first mission was a rule story. Those tasks are basically severely affected areas invaded by chaotic creatures. So the rules you see often have contradictions and even traps."
"We named those twisted creatures Chaos creatures because they only exist in Chaos missions. Although the names all contain the word Chaos, in essence, Chaos creatures and Chaos tasks are opposites. Chaos creatures always tend to invade and tamper with the rules that destroy Chaos tasks."
"Generally speaking, the rules of chaos tasks should be clear and logical. Only after being invaded by chaotic creatures and the task is polluted will conflicts and false rules appear, resulting in a significant increase in the difficulty of the task."
"So, all the tasks of rules and weird talks have been polluted?" Luo Jun said suddenly.
"It can be said that the rule talk is the most polluted by the Chaos Task. It has lost its original task characteristics, and all rules can only point to survival." Mao Xintong, who was standing by, also explained: "The rules in the task will ensure the survival of participants as much as possible, but at the same time, the invading chaotic creatures will also lure participants into traps as much as possible. Therefore, the upper and lower limits of the rule talk are extremely different. If you go the right path, ordinary people may survive, make the worst choice, and masters may be doomed."
"So, the maze has been polluted?" Luo Jun recalled the strange creatures that exposed gold ingots, and the thug merchants in the black store. He thought these chaotic creatures were just monsters with strange shapes, but he didn''t expect that they were signs of pollution.
"This is normal." Old Yuan nodded and said, "If it was an ordinary task, there is no reason no one has conquered it for so many years."
"Don''t worry about this, let''s continue reading the diary!" Ma Qiao suggested.
Several people continued to go backwards, and Zhuge Gan and others exchanged information and separated again. Zhuge Gan kindly asked Aliang if he wanted to be with him, but was rejected. She chose to continue exploring alone.
In the next few days, there were no special experiences. Zhuge Gan kept exploring and constantly collecting materials to maintain it.
At the beginning, they made regular appointments to meet, but soon, the people from other groups gradually could not come back, and the area near the meeting point was basically explored.
During this period, they also encountered black shops and killed Chaos Monsters. After seeing the introduction of the Void Pass, they came to the conclusion that the black and white shop combination can leave the endless maze.
But no matter how hard they try to kill monsters and treasure hunting mechanisms, they cannot make enough money in exchange for the final treasure.
Finally, more than a month later, there were only four survivors left.
Zhuge Gan, Chen Jin, Ling Yue and A Liang.
A little surprised that Aliang, who had lost his partner in the first few days and explored alone, survived.
After discussion, the four decided to leave this area.
In the next few days, they took action together, while exploring, and entered a new area. At first, they were similar to the previous area, and they were also monsters, shops, and then...
"Eh?" Zhuge Zi, who was responsible for turning the pages, was stunned because after a certain page, the diary was torn...
All you can see is the only remaining stubble after being torn off. There are more than ten pages in total, and the paper below is clean without any handwriting.
Obviously, the dozen pages that were torn off are the last record of Zhuge Gan’s life!
"This Senior Zhuge is so tormenting!" Ma Qiao said angrily: "I''m going to see the key point soon, why did he tear it up?"
"This was not what he teared!" Luo Jun shook his head.
"How do you know, right?" Ma Qiao asked.
Of course Luo Jun knew that since Zhuge Gan wanted to leave this diary, he must have wanted to convey information. How could he tear off the diary by himself?
The only possibility is that someone, or something, destroyed the diary after he died!
But this diary is in the treasure box, how could others destroy it?
No... Luo Jun frowned and looked at Zhuge Zi: "Can you try it and put this diary into the treasure box?"
Zhuge Zi nodded, tried it, and then showed a surprised expression: "Can''t earn..."
"Sure enough!" Luo Jun narrowed his eyes: "Strictly speaking, the relics in this maze should not be considered as treasure boxes, but some kind of maze prop that simulates the treasure boxes. Even the treasure boxes that are opened are fakes made from the original products! This is why these treasures cannot be brought out of the maze, and the relics cannot be opened with unlocked treasures, because these are not real treasures at all!"
"What do you mean..." Mao Xintong frowned and said, "This diary was also made from a maze, and the number of pages lost was torn off during the copying process?"
"It''s very likely." Luo Jun nodded: "And this just shows that there is important information hidden in the last dozen pages that were torn off!"
"But it''s useless when it''s important..." Sun Xiaowei said with a look of dismay: "We will never see it..."
"I don''t think this is certain." Luo Jun shook his head: "Have you ever thought about a problem. Since you want to hide information, why don''t you just destroy this diary, but just hide these key pages?"
"Is it the limitation of task rules?" Zhuge Zi looked at Luo Jun.
"I don''t think it''s completely..." Luo Jun said: "Since this task is confirmed to be contaminated by chaotic creatures, it means that the rules we see are not completely accurate. And under the rules, there are at least two forces competing, namely the task itself and the invading chaotic creatures."
"The task itself should be hoped that we can get out, so it will provide us with help. The functions mentioned in the open rules should be of this side."
"And the Chaos creatures side should want to put us to death. They were not written in the rules and were secretly damaging. If my guess is good, the black shops that were not mentioned in the rules, and the army of nihilistic monsters that Sister Mao saw should all be from this side."
"At present, the one who tore off the diary should be the Chaos Creature. The reason why it was not completely destroyed was mostly due to the obstruction of the power of the mission itself. If this incomplete diary is really the product of the collision of authority and power between the good and evil sides, then I have a bold guess..."
Speaking of this, Luo Jun picked up the diary and looked at everyone: "If the maze itself hopes to maintain the original rules, it will definitely save the complete diary as much as possible. These missing page counts may appear in other ways!"
