The weird game of the ancient gods - #189 - Chapter 188 So what’s the price?
At that time, he was in a frustrated stage in his life. He was very cautious and extremely sensitive to any potential threats that might exist. However, the victory in these recent games and the success in his career in real life made him inevitably a little drifting. .
So much so that when faced with obvious possible threats, they are no longer as cautious as in the past.
Thinking about it now, I clearly felt that the spring water might be dangerous at that time, but I just thought that I wouldn’t die anyway, so I didn’t take it to heart.
Wang Li looked at his expression as if looking at the teacher of a primary school student who was self-examining, “Do you know what that spring water is?”
Xia Yu shook his head.
“That is the spring of spiritual vision. After drinking it, your eyes will be able to see some energy fluctuations that you cannot usually see. This universe is made of matter, and matter is dominated by energy. Thunder, lightning, force Field, magic, Qi, divine power, and even soul. In other words, your eyes are now a detection instrument that runs 24 hours a day, detecting all energy waves.
I guess I don’t need to explain how much load this function will bring.
This spring water is not prepared for humans, because human eyes cannot withstand this kind of power. “
Xia Yu was speechless for a while, not expecting such a result.
“I thought the spring water could bring benefits…”
Wang Li shook his head and said: “If you want to get something, you have to pay. If a person wants to get anything, he needs to pay a price. The greater the benefit, the greater the price. Even gods are no exception. Do you think Odin’s How did his eyes become blind? He drank from the Fountain of True Knowledge and saw the truth about Ragnarok. However, he also saw some things he shouldn’t have seen and had to sacrifice one eye.
He drank from the fountain of wisdom and gained infinite knowledge. However, this knowledge also gave him a splitting headache. He fell on a tree for seven days and nights before he could save his life.
Even if God is like this, you, a mere mortal, dare to drink spring water from an unknown source. Should I admire your fearlessness, or should I lament your ignorance. “
Xia Yu, who was despised by Wang Li, had no temper at all. Firstly, given his identity, how could he dare to say anything? Secondly, what Wang Li said was indeed right.
“Host, you must have a way to solve this problem, right?”
“Of course there is a way.”
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he heard Wang Li ask: “But why should I help you?”
“I had a lot of fun playing your game, but you also got what you wanted from my game. I’m your host and you’re players in my game. Other than that, I don’t Thinking that there are other relationships between us gives me a reason to help you. In fact, isn’t it interesting to watch humans reap the consequences of their own actions? Why should I destroy such a relationship? It’s fun.”
Looking at Wang Li’s half-smiling expression, Xia Yu felt cold. Before, he only thought that Wang Li was easy to talk to, very polite and kind, but he forgot that the other person was not a mortal at all, and he might not even be a human being. Judging by the rules of conduct, it turns out that he still falls behind.
wrong! If Wang Li really didn’t intend to help him, there was no need to tell him this at all. Xia Yu looked at Wang Li’s smile and suddenly started laughing. He thought of Wang Li’s words before, that if you want to gain, you must pay…
“So, what’s the cost?”
Wang Li couldn’t help but smile when he heard him ask this question, “You know, I appreciate you a little bit again. You are very smart, which is very important.” He took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, “Put them on and you’ll be fine. , of course you still need a period of adaptation, which can be one or two years, or a few months, and then you can take it off.”
Xia Yu put on the sunglasses, which were full-coverage. The mirror seemed to be made of some kind of red crystal. After putting it on, his vision immediately turned into pale gold, and the surrounding light was obviously less dazzling.
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. “So what do I have to pay?”
“Help me do something. The specifics of what you want to do are not yet certain, and there may be certain dangers. I will decide whether you have paid enough based on the amount of things you have done. Only when I feel that you have paid back , of course, you don’t have to accept this deal.”
Xia Yuxin asked me if I had any choice.
“I accept.”
“Then you can go. I will let you know when I need you.”
Xia Yu nodded, turned around and went downstairs.
He was a little worried about Wang Li’s mission. Wang Li was not an easy person to talk to. If he was given a dangerous mission, he would have no choice but to take it on. This feeling of being in debt made him very sad. Uneasy, and why did Wang Li happen to have such a pair of sunglasses with him? I always feel like I’m being plotted against.
All I can say is try to be more careful in the future.
When Xia Yu went downstairs, he found that most of the people had left, leaving only four or five people sitting around chatting in the hall on the second floor.
Ergouzi: “Haha, this is so cool. It’s better to end up like this. Otherwise, let’s petition together.”
Bai Ye: “You are overthinking. The landlord is not the kind of person who is easy to talk to. I think he is just in a good mood this time. He may not be able to torment us in the next round.”
Overlord: “I finally won once, but unfortunately the card I drew this time was too bad. Valhalla’s call. I’m so handsome, but I don’t want to die young. Alas.”
Xuanniao: “Bawang, since when have you become as shameless as Ergouzi, and you can even say such things?”
Ergouzi: “Bawang, your card is actually very good. You should think so. If there are any dangerous tasks in the future, you can rush up without any scruples. Anyway, if you die, you will go to the Hall of Valor. I’m afraid What, right?”
Overlord nodded, “That’s true. No, are you digging a hole for me? If you are in danger in the future, you will ask me to top the tank? That’s a good idea.”
Fubuki: “Hey, traveler, you’re down. Are your sunglasses cool?”
Xia Yu smiled and did not explain anything. He was not going to tell others about his eyes, so as not to expose his trump card. When he saw octopus balls on the table, he subconsciously picked up a bunch and ate them. After eating a few, he suddenly I remembered that this stuff was made of ‘that’, I hesitated for a moment and said, never mind it, and continued eating.
While others were still chatting, he was thinking about the tasks that Wang Li might assign to him.
“Um, excuse me.” A voice suddenly sounded from the side. When everyone looked, they saw a young girl in her twenties, with short black hair, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, holding a hand in her arms. A thick “Cthulhu Running Game Rules Book” and a big box with a very weird cover make you look like a COC running player.
And he looks like a very dedicated player. He looks like an investigator in his windbreaker and top hat.
“Can I ask, what game are you playing? It sounds interesting.”
Several people laughed, and Overlord said: “No, that’s quite interesting. As for what game-hehe, it’s not convenient to reveal this.”
“You are the VIP members on the third floor, right? I’ve heard of you, how can I get a supreme membership? I’ve been in this store for several years, and no one I ask will tell me.”
Ergouzi said: “Beauty, the number of people in our game is already full, and there are some games that you can’t afford.”
However, the more everyone said this, the more curious the girl looked, “Hey, don’t be so stingy, I just want to know more.”
Er Gouzi said in an old-fashioned tone: “It’s not stingy. There are some things that we can’t talk about casually. We can’t tell you even if you ask. It won’t be a good thing for you if you tell me. Listen to my brother and play your board games. Go ahead, that one suits you better.”
“Tch, forget it if you don’t say it.”
The girl said, glanced at the stairs on the third floor, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed towards the third floor without any warning. Everyone was shocked, and they didn’t even have time to stop them, they watched the girl go upstairs. went.
“Let me go, this woman is a bit naughty, do you think the landlord will let her -” Ergouzi made a motion of slitting his throat.
Fubuki: “No way, the homeowner is not a violent person.”
Bai Ye said coldly: “But the landlord is not the kind of person who is easy to talk to. I think she might turn into a rabbit.”
Xia Yuxin said that he really couldn’t be prepared, but he was not going to stay and wait for the result. He still had a spoon murderer to deal with. Although it was not fatal, he was still a killer, so he had to prepare for it anyway.
“Everyone, I’m leaving now. See you in the next game.” He said and hurried downstairs.
