Chapter 910 - Cut’? Why ‘cut’? I refuse to accept it! (2/2)
It used black characters with golden outline, very eye-catching.
[Lines: Little Reckless, Little Reckless~ where are you?! Quickly reply!” PS: Please appear ‘worried’ while reciting these lines.]
“…” Song Shuhang.
What the h.e.l.l was that?
Had the story unfolding in the dream turned into a video game?
Moreover, didn’t this Little Reckless name sound really toxic?
After hearing this name, he was reminded of Senior Thrice Reckless from the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Song Shuhang decided to ignore the system notification.
But right at this time, the text in the window changed.
[The countdown is about to start. You have 20 seconds to say the lines “Little Reckless~ where are you?! Quickly reply!” with a worried expression. If you don’t, you might have to face punishment.]
Along with the text on the system notification window changing, the picture of a stopwatch appeared in the top right corner of his field of vision, quickly starting to count down.
20, 19, 18… 15, 14… 11…
The numbers started to decrease very quickly.
Punishment? Bring it on! This is only a dream, and if you want to punish me, just go ahead! The crueler the punishment, the better!
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Song Shuhang’s body started to dash toward that crater full of boiling magma.
The speed he was running at was extremely fast, and the brake feature seemed to be missing.
According to Song Shuhang’s calculation, he would jump into that lake of magma in 10 more seconds if he didn’t stop. At the same time, that cool and refres.h.i.+ng feeling disappeared, replaced by a blazing heat! If it was this hot just by approaching the crater, he could only imagine how wonderful things would get after diving into that lake of magma.
Just what kind of dream was this?! It suddenly turned into a video game, and he was now forced to complete quests!
The stopwatch on the right had already counted down to 9 seconds, and Song Shuhang was mentally preparing himself to jump into that lake of magma.
But just as he was about to fall in the lake of magma, he changed his mind.
Song Shuhang had a sudden inspiration, and decided to say those lines to see what would happen.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of the punishment… after all, it was just a dream, and even if he fell into that lake of magma, it wouldn’t be a big deal. It was just a dream, and even dying a thousand times wouldn’t be much of a problem.
The reason Song Shuhang changed his mind was that he wanted to see how the dream would change after he had said those lines.
He felt that this dream was rather eccentric.
Therefore, there was a chance he might obtain some clues after saying those lines.
“I’m unable to come up on my own! I need your help. Please, help me!” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said anxiously.
“…” Song Shuhang.
You are an expert of the Fifth Stage Realm… Can’t you just instantly fly out of that magma? What do you need my help for?
Just as he was in deep thought, another system notification window appeared in front of his eyes.
[Please look for a hidden mechanism next to the crater of the volcano. The secret to escaping this place and saving ‘Little Reckless’ is concealed in there. Note: After 60 seconds, the volcano will start erupting. Please make haste so as to avoid getting involved in the eruption.]
Another stopwatch appeared in the top right corner of Song Shuhang’s field of vision.
“…” Song Shuhang.
Should he continue playing this game?
The already strange dream was getting even weirder and weirder.
After pondering for a moment, Song Shuhang made up his mind, and decided to continue. After all, it was like playing an adventure-type video game.
He turned around, and started searching the area close to the crater.
However, the crater was huge… How was he supposed to find that mechanism?!
In addition, how did that mechanism look? Couldn’t they give him some additional information?
Time quickly pa.s.sed by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of those 60 seconds were already gone. But, Song Shuhang had yet to find the mechanism.
60 seconds were too little to complete the task…
After seeing that Song Shuhang was unable to find the hidden mechanism, Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, who still amidst the boiling magma below, started to get anxious.
Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber shouted, “My friend, look at your 6 o’clock. There is a flight of stairs there, and after you go up to the third step, open a small box and throw at me the equipment inside. I can get away from here thanks to that equipment! There isn’t much time left, quick!”
So there was the option to get a hint. You could have said that earlier! Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Thereupon, Shuhang headed to his 6 o’clock.
But after he had taken two steps… he faintly heard the sound ‘cut’ beside his ear.
In the next moment, dense fog appeared before his eyes, completely wrapping Shuhang.
Then, he could also faintly hear Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s angry howl in the background. “Why ‘cut’? Tell me the reason behind that ‘cut’! I just gave him a piece of advice, and I didn’t break the rules in any way! Ouch! Mom, I’m getting burned alive! I’m dying!”
The dense fog wrapping Song Shuhang made him feel once again as if he was riding the mist.
After the dense fog dispersed, Song Shuhang discovered that he had returned to that airs.p.a.ce above the surface of the sea. The clothes he was wearing had also reverted to the ones he was wearing previously. Just like before, he was stepping on Meteor Sword and quickly flying forward.
The d.a.m.ned dream still wasn’t over!
