Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 41 - 44 Ancient Elevator_1
Chapter 41: Chapter 44: Ancient Elevator_1
Chapter 41 -44: Ancient Elevator_1
[You have obtained ‘Stinky Feces Stone’ * 99]
[You have obtained ‘Unknown Large Chunk of Spirituality’]
[You have obtained ‘The Black Giant Worm’s Tusk’ (Material)]
[You have obtained ‘The Black Giant Worm’s Gland Slime Essence’ (Item)]
Lin Xun opened the item bar to check.
The ‘Stinky Feces Stone’ needs no further explanation, it’s practically the favorite food of the sewer creatures.
In the whole sewer, this trash item had the highest drop rate.
After using the ‘Unknown Large Chunk of Spirituality’, you can gain 200 points of spirituality. Lin Xun saved it, as usual.
‘The Black Giant Worm’s Tusk’ indicated it was a material for weapon forging. Lin Xun also had dog teeth and fur which were also forging materials.
With more materials, the blacksmith could be reforged, making the desired weapons and equipment.
Finally, the last item is quite interesting…
[‘The Black Giant Worm’s Gland Slime Essence’ (Item), comes from the gland tissue that produces slime in the ‘Black Giant Worm’s’ body. These concentrated slimes with a horrible smell are its essence. After use, you will temporarily gain the life traits of the Black Giant Worm, allowing you to have a brief period of activity even after death. However, if you take damage after death, you will lose the ability to act in advance.]
This item, if you say it’s powerful, it isn’t exactly that powerful.
Although you can move after death, once you take damage, you’ll still die.
And Lin Xun noticed the words “brief period”. This meant that using this item wasn’t saying that if you acted like a zombie and didn’t take damage, you could keep going.
The ability to act like a zombie after death has a time limit.
But to say this item is trash is not quite right either; it could be said that this item may have unexpected effects in certain specific situations.
Upon examining his loot, Lin Xun continued with the game.
However, he found that after the bottom of the sewer… there was no road!
The game text did not show the options for the subsequent route at all.
Lin Xun frowned, that doesn’t seem right.
The hidden place that he found with great pains, with only such a harvest, did not meet his expectations at all.
He turned his eyes to the ‘Forgotten Afterglow Abyss (Map)’ in the item bar.
If the rewards of the Saint Lance sewer did not reach the value of the hidden location, then the truth could only be one…
That is, there must be a very generous reward in the ‘Forgotten Afterglow Abyss’!
As the thoughts were still running through his head, his hand had already impatiently pressed the option to use the item.
[You have used the ‘Forgotten Afterglow Abyss (Map)’]
[You have obtained the guidance for this map.]
[Guided by the golden glow of the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ in your hand, you walk forward unhurriedly…]
[You walked to the end of the ‘Saint Lance Sewer Bottom Layer’.]
[In front of you is a pitch-black wall covered in sludge. You looked around, but there is no road ahead.]
[Do you want to retreat?]
Lin Xun let out a scornful sneer.
Do they really think such tricks can work on him? As an experienced player, Lin Xun immediately clicked on the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ in the engineer’s hand without saying a word.
[Clever Apostle, it seems you have discovered something…]
[You raised the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ in your hand and stabbed the wall in front of you.]
[The spear tip penetrated the wallh without hitting anything solid. Just as you were slightly surprised, the wall which you just punctured disappeared without a trace.]
[Before you is a simple wooden elevator. Below the elevator is an endless abyss, so dark it’s bottomless.]
[The cold wind blowing from the abyss, like the roar of a devil from the depths of the earth, sways you standing on the edge of the cliff. You felt like you could fall into eternal perdition if you were not careful.]
[Do you want to board the draughty carriage of the elevator to unravel the secrets in the depths of the dark abyss?]
A hidden map is indeed a hidden map; even the inquiry options have gotten longer.
Lin Xun clicked yes with his hand, but in his mind, he thought of Ye Xiaoqi’s soul talent — the Eye of Truth.
If the short-haired beauty could get into the bottom of the sewer, she probably wouldn’t have to win three games consecutively from the ‘Hungry Elder’ to get the map.
This ability for directly viewing hidden items and hidden branches was also quite useful.
Unfortunately, this game does not allow co-op exploration in a team, only invasion PK. Otherwise, Ye Xiaoqi would be a great female (tool) party (helper) mate (person).
[You cautiously stepped onto the elevator, stepping on the raised metal device on the cabin floor.]
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
[With the sound of the gears overlapping, the cabin you are standing on begins to descend slowly, immersing into the pure darkness…]
Denouement of the game text got stuck here.
Lin Xun took it in stride, waiting quietly for the ancient elevator to descend to its destination.
After waiting for quite a while…
[Abruptly, the sound of the gears ceased entirely. The raised metal device under your feet seems to have rusted due to long-term disrepair and is stuck.]
[You are caught in the middle of the cliff on the way to the abyss, unable to retreat to the bottom of the sewer or continue descending into the abyss.]
[Do you want to jump into the abyss?]
He had thought that the game text would display their arrival at the destination, but did not expect the ancient elevator to get stuck all of a sudden.
Lin Xun thought for a while and recalled the item he recently received.
The current situation is probably the occasion for using the zombie item.
The normal game process should be: use the zombie item, jump into the abyss, then rise as a zombie to explore.
Right now, he was still in the shell of the engineer.
Letting the engineer’s powerful shell take a fall would be a bit of a waste. It would be better to let the Law Knight be the scapegoat.
Yeah, that’s the plan!
But when he saw the series of keywords like ‘rusted by years of disuse’ and ‘ageing and neglected’, he suddenly remembered the first time he entered the game.
At that time, he had solved a similar problem with half a bottle of Healing Holy Water.
Can the same tricks be used on a Saint again? Fairly not!
Can the same problem bother him, Lin Xun, again? Indeed not!
Lin Xun decided to teach this game a lesson.
He opened the item bar, and there was still half a bottle of Healing Holy Water left, which he found under the big bed in the Yellow Bishop’s bedroom. (Chapter 30)
He clicked on the ‘Healing Holy Water’ without hesitation.
[Clever Apostle, it seems you have found something…]
[1. Drink the Saint Water in one gulp to heal the injuries. Even though you sustain no exterior wounds at present, the unique taste of the Saint Water might leave you with wonderful sensations.]
[2. Even though there’s no Nun’s shell here, you can still use the Healing Holy Water. Its smooth and greasy feeling is great for relieving loneliness.]
[3. (Hidden option) The metallic mechanism on the cabin floor has been neglected over time, leading to it being rusted and stuck. Perhaps you can use the Saint Water to restore its vigour.]
As always, he automatically ignored the first two bizarre options.
Lin Xun clicked on the third option.
