I Am the God of Games

Tang Rui and Jem walked on the streets of Crooks City, feeling very novel in their hearts.

It is completely different from the atmosphere of Lancaster's commercial city. Huge chimneys rising into the sky and billowing black smoke can be seen everywhere in Crooks City, and there are metal circular feeding pipes all over the city. , giving a feeling of a heavy industrial city.

Even the air seems to carry a faint smell of charcoal fire.

The old dog Kepais cocked his tail and snorted, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the air quality in this city.

After the system opened the pet function, Pax became Jem's pet. Even if he died in battle, he could be revived by paying game currency and experience points.

But now players don't like to collect pets.

After all, because Xi Wei was relatively short on money, he integrated the player's pet, mount, follower and familiar slots together from the very beginning.

Not to mention holy gun knights who must be equipped with a mount, even ordinary players can recruit a very limited number of creatures.

And pets like Kepais are weak in combat power, because they can't believe in the god of the game, and they can't upgrade through normal channels, so they generally won't be recruited by players.

——With this position, isn’t the frogman a tool that can be launched into the water to lure monsters in the pimple shoal? The Western Continent can be transferred to learn the spicy rabbit head with a backstab... Cough, don't the long-eared people smell good? It really doesn't work, the various mounts domesticated by Jungle Walkers players are also good...

Although they knew this truth, Tang Rui and Jem had traveled with Kepais long ago, and Kepais also got out of the shadow of losing his master during the adventure, and began to fall in love with these two new little masters. It would be too cruel to abandon it or something, and if Kepais is not recruited as a pet, it is easy to die in battle, so this is the only way to do it.

Of course, Tang Rui and Jem didn't feel wasted. Not only that, they also planned to strengthen Kepais.

There are actually many ways to strengthen it, among which giving it the bloodline of a monster is the easiest, and the system also provides this kind of service (only for changing the types of monsters that players have killed), but it needs to complete a system automatically assigned Highly difficult chain tasks, and pay a lot of game currency.

But Tang Rui and Jem not only didn't feel embarrassed, but started to do this task with great interest. For them, after the Twin Cities Cup ended, it was a period of confusion where they couldn't think of where to take risks next. After the task, even the time to think about the future can be saved.

"Is this the mission destination this time?" Jem opened the system page and compared the mission information on it and muttered.

According to the slightly rough task logo on the mini-map,

And after asking for directions, the two finally found the dilapidated bungalow in the depths of an alley.

Tang Rui looked a little tired. He held his stomach and said with a bitter face, "I hope I can treat us to something delicious. My stomach is so hungry that I didn't see any restaurants on the road..."

"Even if there is a restaurant, we can't eat it anymore. After all, the Lien exchanged at Mr. Mane's has been spent, and now we only have game coins." Jem replied, and then knocked hard on the door: "Is anyone there?" ?”

He knocked for a long time before the dilapidated wooden door opened a crack, revealing half of a mottled old man's face, full of vigilance: "Who are you?"

"We are messengers from Lancaster City. We have brought you a letter from Mr. Collinf Atherton." Jem took out the well-kept parchment envelope from the package. The bright red wax seal is very complete.

The old man gave them a suspicious look, then carefully checked the private postmark on the letter, and finally opened the door.

Just when Tang Rui and Jem were about to go in, the other party stopped them with his hand.

"Wait a minute, each of you pull out a hair and show me."

"Pull your hair? Is it such a strange custom here?"

Jem was puzzled.

"The custom...huh." The old man sneered: "Crooks doesn't have such a custom. This is to verify whether you are swamp people!"

"Swamp man? That kind of slimy humanoid monster?" Tang Rui asked inexplicably.

"That's a mire monster, and a swamp man is a shape-shifting monster that can copy a person's appearance and memory, right?"

On the contrary, Jem, who always reads the popular science posts on monsters on the forum, knows this better.

"Can even memories be copied?" Tang Rui was shocked.

"Don't worry, our memory is blessed by the gods. Even if those guys become like us, they won't be able to save the relevant memory." Jem said.

After all, the players know too much. If anyone could see their memories by random people, Xi Wei would have been discovered by other gods a long time ago. The power reading will immediately alarm Xi Wei himself, and will directly carry out the divine punishment countermeasure with his permission.

In addition to avoiding memory reading, this mechanism can also produce strong resistance to skills such as mind control.

It is naturally impossible for Jem to know the specific reason, but he continued to explain: "In addition, it is said that after the bog man's body tissue leaves the body, it will return to its original muddy appearance due to the loss of vitality. This probably makes us pull out our hair, Prove that you are okay."

After understanding the reason, Tang Rui and Jem did not continue to object, but pulled out one of their own hairs and showed it to the old man for verification.

The old man dared to let the two of them in after making sure that there was nothing wrong with their hair.

"You just said, what happened to the swamp people in this city?" Jem asked curiously, "Did monsters from the wild come in? Couldn't the church in the city do something about it?"

"I don't know the specifics, but there are indeed swamp people who have infiltrated the city. We have found water sources polluted by the swamp people in several places, and we have also found the bodies of victims whose identities were replaced by the swamp people." The old man said. After the two entered the room, they immediately closed the door and locked it tightly, and then showed a relieved expression: "I haven't been able to find any clues for several days. The reputation of the city guard has been discredited. The church is also unreliable. You can only be careful..."

Jem showed a serious look, and secretly judged whether this would be the next part of the task.

"Give me the letter."

The old man sat down by the fire, and took the envelope from Jem: "Let me see that old man, and want to say something to me, a cripple with old arms and legs."
