Novel Bin Chapter 153 - Game Update
Chapter 153: Game Update
In the afternoon, the weather had indeed changed.
The sky was dark.
Thick dark clouds were heavy above.
A strong wind blew, and Ling Pingan hurriedly closed the shop door.
Soon, it began to rain cats and dogs.
“The weather station’s forecast is too accurate!” Ling Pingan said.
Seeing such heavy rain, he closed his store and turned off the lights.
Then, he carried the kitten, Bastet, and walked upstairs with his phone.
Hmm…
He would be sorry for not playing games in such bad weather!
However, just as he went upstairs, he received a message from the penguin icon before he had the time to open the canyon.
He opened it and saw that it was from the editor.
“I’ve read your book…”
“To be honest… it’s not very likable…”
“The current readers might not like reading such old-fashioned time-travel novels…”
“You can pay attention to the latest trends…”
“The System, Goldfinger…”
Ling Pingan was stunned as he read.
He sighed and typed a reply, “Thank you, boss… Then I’ll write a new one then…”
Was it a surprise?
It was a surprise!
But it was not a surprise either!
Because he had already read many of the books on the popular board.
But he still stubbornly chose the traditional opening. He only added time travel and tried to muddle through. In the end, he did not even pass the editor’s test, let alone those readers who were getting smarter and smarter!
“Sigh, I’m getting old!” The 24-year-old bookstore owner sighed. “As expected, I can’t keep up with young people’s thoughts!”
However…
He raised his head and looked at the heavy rain outside. “I won’t admit my old age!”
Writing novels was an interest!
So…
“I’ll play a few rounds of games first to relax!” The easy-going bookstore owner said.
Because playing games was a hobby!
The battle in the valley had made him forget the time.
Ling Pingan didn’t put down his phone until his stomach was growling.
He looked at the time on his phone. It was already 7:30 p.m.
He walked to the balcony and looked at the weather outside. The rain seemed to have stopped.
Therefore, he took out his phone and ordered a takeaway.
He was about to take his phone to recharge.
Ling Pingan saw a notification: The latest version of the Legend of Nightmare, coming in hot!
He was immediately delighted. “Is it finally time to update the new version?”
He clicked on it and saw a notification: Dear player, the legend of Nightmare is about to publish a new version — Whisper of Dreams.
The heroes of ancient times acted as human shields in the long dream.
The fallen gods looked for the path to resurrection in the fog of the dream.
The living beings were recklessly trying to step into the dreams of the dead!
How pathetic!
There seemed to be a trailer attached to the text message.
Ling Pingan clicked on it, and the entire screen immediately darkened.
Then, specks of light slowly bloomed.
Next, a figure stood up beside the bonfire.
Beside him lay the ones who had already died.
He stood up and pulled out a torch from the bonfire.
The light from the torch shone forward, illuminating the fog!
One after another, evil and terrifying scarlet eyes opened in the darkness!
Terrifying monsters twisted and grotesquely climbed in the fog.
In the sky, an evil blood moon shone cold moonlight onto the fog.
The camera started to pull up.
At the edge of the world, rotting corpses filled the place.
Monsters crawled out from the corpses.
They were the monsters that twisted and grotesquely climbed in the fog!
At this moment, a gunshot sounded.
The camera zoomed down quickly. The figure holding a torch jumped in the fog. The revolver he was holding shot out one shot after another.
The bullet hit the monster.
In the end, he successfully killed the monster.
The monster that fell to the ground screamed and slowly turned into a human.
At this moment, the figure screamed in fear!
The camera zoomed in, and Ling Pingan saw the main character’s appearance in the trailer.
It was a typical image of a federal person. His beard was unkempt, and he wore a police cap.
It was the same as the appearance of the monster on the ground that he had killed!
At this point, the video went dark again.
After a while, blood started to flow out on the screen.
The blood slowly outlined the words on the screen.
Losing humanity, losing a lot of humanity, losing bestiality, losing everything!
As the words faded away, the video became cheerful.
“Brand new dungeon! Brand new game mode!”
“More surprises, more explorations!”
“Download the latest version of Legend of Nightmare — Whisper of Dream immediately. Experience a brand-new game mode and brand new Dungeon!”
After reading it, Ling Pingan finally smiled. “Good!”
After paying the IQ tax and having his new book rejected.
That was the first good news he received today!
Thus, he immediately clicked on the link and began to download.
However, the update package was a little large, about 8G!
It would take at least thirty minutes to download!
… … … … ..
Chu Weiwei walked along the emergency corridor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Lanfang Gonghe.
The Mark of Nightmare on her wrist was already burning.
That meant that the Realm of Nightmare was summoning her.
But the problem was, wasn’t it once a week?
Wasn’t it yet the time?
She asked the Mark of Nightmare and received an answer: Participant of Nightmare Game, codename ‘Prettyweiwei’, you have been involved in a special Nightmare event!
The Realm of Nightmare will exercise special privileges and urgently recruit you!
You can reject this recruitment!
However, the difficulty of your next Nightmare World Mission will increase!
Chu Weiwei agreed to this recruitment without hesitation after seeing that ‘you have been involved in a special Nightmare incident’!
That was because she felt that this so-called special Nightmare incident was related to the current disaster in Nanyang!
Hence, she used the excuse of having a stomach-ache and rushed back to her room. She locked the door the moment she entered.
Then, she felt her vision go black.
She lost consciousness.
When she opened her eyes again, Chu Weiwei saw that she seemed to be in a square-like place.
The square was surrounded by many enormous stone pillars.
Each pillar reached into the clouds.
She raised her head and saw the sky above her head. It was made up of countless squirming flesh and tissues.
Huge blood vessels passed through the flesh and tissue.
Beside her, people came and went.
Chu Weiwei looked at all of this in a daze.
Because that was something that had never happened before.
The first time she entered this so-called Realm of Nightmare was in a small wooden house. She remembered that there was a television in the wooden house.
The second and third time, she appeared in a fog.
Before entering the Nightmare World, she had never met anyone else.
Obviously, something had changed this time.
“Yo! A newcomer!” At this moment, the people around finally noticed her. “And a lackey of the Federal Empire!”
When they saw the Blackguard uniform on Chu Weiwei, they started to laugh.
Chu Weiwei returned to her senses and looked at these people.
Their faces looked very familiar to Chu Weiwei.
“Ba Bi!”
“Cai Nong!”
“Ruan Keke!”
One by one, the names of the dangerous people wanted by the Nanyang countries and the federal empire were linked up by her.
These people had done many evil deeds and their hands were covered in blood.
Chu Weiwei had been looking at their files for the past few days until she almost vomited!
For example, that one-eyed man called Ba Bi was Siamese’s most wanted criminal!
He had at least hundreds of lives on him!
That were only the acknowledged ones!
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Siamese, half of the murders in Siamese in the past ten years were related to this person!
The Siamese army and police had jointly pursued him for ten years, but they still couldn’t catch him!
Who would have thought that he was actually in the Realm of Nightmare!
There was also Cai Nong, who was also wanted by the Somboja Kingdom, the Kingdom of Jiaozhi, and the Manchuria Gonghe.
He was charged with murder, smuggling firearms, illegally imprisoning others and dozens of other crimes!
Even the only woman among these people, the Jiaozhi woman named Ruan Keke, was not simple at all.
She was not simple at all!
Her nickname was the venomous widow!
The Federal Empire accused her of being responsible for dozens of murders of federal citizens!
The Jiaozhi Kingdom accused her of assassinating officials, conspiring against the government, subverting the country, and more than ten other felonies!
Except for these notorious criminals!
Chu Weiwei also found Voodoo Masters with ghost tattoos all over their bodies in the crowd or wizards from Yansheng sect, who had blind and rotten-eyes.
These people…
Were all criminals and evil cultivators that the federal empire and the countries in the Nanyang region were searching for!
It was obvious that these people did not have a good attitude towards her, a member of the Federal Empire’s Blackguard.
They surrounded Chu Weiwei coldly.
Their eyes were filled with malicious intention!
The one-eyed man, Ba Bi, was even grinning ferociously as he sent his application to the Realm. “Realm, I request to use my Nightmare milestone, the Bloody Slayer. Designate the Nightmare Game participant before me as an enemy and enter bloody battle mode with her!”
The Bloody Slayer was a milestone that he had painstakingly reached in a Nightmare World.
It was a milestone that required him to defeat ten monsters that were higher in level than him in a one-on-one battle and then obtain four different quest items in order to reach it!
The effect of this milestone was simple and crude. It could be activated in the Nightmare World of the Realm of Nightmare in peaceful mode, forcing a Nightmare game participant to engage in a one-on-one battle with him!
The winner would directly plunder everything from the loser!
Normally, Ba Bi rarely used this milestone.
However, now that he saw a federal member wearing the uniform of a blackguard, he suppressed the fury in his heart and directly applied to the Realm.
“Little girl!” Ba Bi’s face was fierce, and he became ferocious. “I’m going to strip you naked and tear you into pieces!”
“Request denied!” A loud voice came from the flesh above his head. “Nightmare Game participant ‘Crazy Ba Bi’, your milestone ‘Bloody Slayer’ is only silver-tier. You are unable to challenge the holder of the gold-tier Nightmare Milestone!”
The voice paused for a moment, and then, amidst everyone’s fear, it continued, “Nightmare Game participant ‘Crazy Ba Bi’, you are attempting to challenge the holder of the gold-tier Nightmare Milestone!”
“You have violated the Realm of Nightmare’s Rule # 3: Do not challenge those who are more powerful than you!”
“You violated Realm of Nightmare’s Rule # 8: Do not break the Realm of Nightmare Rule!”
“According to the first rule of the Realm of Nightmare, the Realm is presenting you with…”
“Obliterate!”
A loud voice, exploding in everyone’s heart.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, the one-eyed Ba Bi, the mad criminal covered in blood of others and had committed countless crimes.
He didn’t die at the hands of the military police who were after him.
He didn’t die in the danger of the Nightmare World.
He was only arrogant enough to challenge a member of the Federal Empire’s Blackguard in the Realm of Nightmare who appeared to be a newcomer.
And so, he died.
His brains exploded and his entire body shattered into pieces.
Everyone there took a deep breath.
The Golden Milestone of Nightmare?
They thought about the Realm’s explanation.
Then, they looked at this thin and weak-looking young lady from the Federal Empire’s Blackguard.
Their legs and stomachs were trembling, and their bodies were trembling!
The Golden Milestone of Nightmare wasn’t something that just anyone could obtain!
According to their understanding, throughout the entire Realm of Nightmare, the number of people who could obtain the golden milestone could be counted on one hand!
Moreover, these people were all ruthless, dangerous, and powerful people who had killed without even blinking!
If any random person was picked from them, the number of Nightmare game participants they had killed was more than all the Nightmare World monsters the crowd had killed!
Therefore, they looked at Chu Weiwei with fear and trepidation.
“Great lady!” Under Chu Weiwei’s gaze, Cai Nong, who had killed without calculation, knelt on the ground with a plop. “Expert, please spare my life!”
“Please be magnanimous and ignore my ruthless attitude!”
If he didn’t beg for mercy now, should he wait for death when he entered the Nightmare World?
The venomous widow, Ruan Keke also fell to her knees and kowtowed. “Sister! Sister, I’m not with them!”
“Please be clear about this!”
“Spare my life! Spare my life!” Almost everyone knelt.
