Chapter 24： Trial Version (2/2)
Wei Huo swam inside the cave as the turbid water diffused with the surrounding seawater. The space inside the cave was vast like the middle of a huge mountain. Wei Huo was at the top of the cave.
Wei Huo tied the rope on his body to a huge rock and gradually swam downward. Not long after, a gigantic palace came into view. The palace was built out of white jade and its corners were embedded with night pearls. The night pearl's luminous glow was illuminating the palace.
Wei Huo gradually swam towards the palace and arrived at the palace's door. Wei Huo saw an enormous stone tablet, and what greeted his eyes next were the two words 'Dragon Palace' carved on the stone tablet.
Wei Huo was stunned. There was a Dragon Palace here!
However, seconds later, he saw a tiny string of the words 'Trial Version 1.01' at the stone tablet's bottom left corner.
Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”
If he combined all the words on the stone tablet, it would have read as 'Dragon Palace Trial Version 1.01'.
That Dragon Palace was just a trial version!
Game production was tough. One would need to carry out tests and improve the game continuously. However, the words on the bottom left corner of the stone tablet would probably disappear after the game had been fully developed.
Wei Huo swam inside the palace's door with not much air left in his air pocket. He had to check out the palace faster as he did not have much time left.
As he arrived at the door, he saw a string of words on the plaque of the Dragon Palace.
”The Player is a Descendant of the Fiery Emperor and the Yellow Emperor. The Player would be rewarded with a rare scroll as The Player had completed the mini-game at difficulty level nine. However, please take note that you will be put to a test before obtaining the item.”
It was then that Wei Huo realized the whole 'Drip Blood to Open Door' situation was to verify his lineage.
Wei Huo saw a thin layer of the transparent film as he walked into the door. It was a barrier. He passed through the barrier smoothly and fell onto the floor. There was no seawater in the Dragon Palace!
That barrier blocked the outside seawater from entering. One could breathe freely when they entered the area.
Wei Huo did not inhale at once. He took small breaths and realized there were no strange odors. He felt a gust of wind and started walking towards that direction. Not long after, he arrived at the main hall.
Main hall…
The main hall was obviously still under construction as there was nothing inside except for four walls and a rooftop. It was pretty empty that even the ground was made up of parched soil. It looked like a semi-finished house that was still under construction.
He kept silent. ”...”
It was indeed a trial version…
Wei Huo felt like he was tricked. Where was the random scroll? There was nothing here!
Right when Wei Huo was engaged in his thoughts, a voice appeared from the center of the main hall.
”Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, you arrived here finally. You see the pillars built from gold, the ground built from crystal, and the countless dragon treasures. Unfortunately, a spell has been cast on them. You cannot take them away…”
Wei Huo was confused. ”???”
Golden Pillars? Crystal Grounds? Dragon Treasures? Where are they? It was indeed a trial version!
”…The only thing you can take is this Thunder Variation Scroll. However, you would be put to a test before you can obtain it. Do you see the Thunder Pond ahead of you? Stand and be baptized in the Thunder Pond for three minutes. You will be rewarded the Thunder Variation Scroll if you survive!”
Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”
So, where was the thunder pond?
