State of Decay - Chapter 74

[Chapter 74 Olive Manor (Part 2)]

has no system bonus, and the dead knot of non-professionals is also strong, but it has not considered balance at all. The noose quickly slid from Lin Wu’s waist to his armpit, forcing Lin Wu to open his arms, so as not to pull the knife, the noose would hang over his shoulders around his neck and hang himself in the well.

The small knife turned the reel, slowly lowered it, and shouted while putting it down: “Did you see it?”

Lin Wu supported the well wall with his legs and hands and faced down: “No.” “

Did you see it?”

“No.”

“Yes.” Is it?”

“No.”

“What?”

“No.”

“Oh.” Xiaodao shouted to Jingkou: “Your echo is a bit loud.”

“Your echo is too.”

Xiaodao: “The rope is at the end.”

Lin Wu: ” I see.” Under the light of the water and electricity, he was only four meters away from the bucket.

Xiaodao: “The rope is at the end.”

“…” Su Guang, enough is enough for you!

What should I do now? Lin Wu looked through his backpack, and found that the longest one was the silent one hanging outside, and the total length with the muffler was less than one meter. Lin Wu shouted: “I want to let go of the rope.”

“Okay, be careful.”

Lin Wu supported the well wall with his legs, took the noose out of his arms, and then slowly descended to the bottom of the well. Just when Lin Wu leaned over to get the bucket, a big eel jumped up and hit Lin Wu’s face with its body. The sudden attack frightened Lin Wu to let go of his feet and plop into the well.

Dawn, do it!

Xiaodao asked nervously: “What’s the matter? Lin Wu?”

“It’s okay.” Lin Wu showed his head, put his feet on the wall of the well and walked up, picked up the bucket and put it on his head. At this time, Lin Wu was thinking about how to complete this task alone. Climbing up with hands and feet will consume stamina, and resting on the wall of the well will not restore stamina. The only way is to carry a lot of chewing gum, support the wall of the well after the stamina is exhausted, and rely on the chewing gum to slowly restore the stamina. But the task did not mention the details from the beginning to the end. This leads to players having to go through a round of minefields to get chewing gum after learning the details of the mission. After all, no one will carry a pound of chewing gum with them.

In summary, this is a very tricky task.

However, Lin Wu noticed a detail. The first time he met Amanda, the key he got after killing Amanda was a cross-shaped key. And the key that Amanda used to open the secret passage was a straight line. One possibility is that the task is reset and the cross-shaped key becomes invalid. One may be a secret passage or a treasure hidden in the manor that can be opened with a cross-shaped key. There is also a possibility that after the task is completed, Amanda will give the knife a cross-shaped key to open a treasure.

After putting on the noose, Lin Wu shouted, “Pull, Xiaodao

.”

The NPC still talks about the rules. After confirming the completion of the task, he gave the knife a key: “Hero, your reward is in the bedroom on the third floor.” The two

left from the straight ladder, and Amanda put down the secret door and locked herself in the secret passage , Xiaodao asked: “Why didn’t she go with us?”

Lin Wu asked: “You raise her?”   Xiaodao said

: “She can carry water.”

For food, she is responsible for carrying water for the base. Lin Wu turned around and opened the secret door again, but it couldn’t be opened. Lin Wu felt sorry, and had no idea whether Amanda would do it or not.

Follow the stairs to the third floor, there is only one door on the third floor. When you open the door, you can see a hall with a size of more than 100 square meters. The two immediately saw a built-in safe placed by the fireplace. The safe has only one keyhole. The knife was inserted into the key given by Amanda, but the key could not be turned. Instead, a system message appeared: the anti-theft system is activated, and there are two more chances.

“Pull it out first.” Lin Wu has rich experience in fighting the enemy: “Shuguang will not lie, and Shuguang respects the rules. That means the safe is wrong. What did Amanda say?” Xiaodao asked: “Who is Amanda?”

“

NPC “

So her name is Amanda.” Xiaodao thought for a while: “She said that the reward is in the bedroom on the third floor.”

Lin Wu clapped his hands and said, “This is not a bedroom, this is a living room.” There is only one on the third floor. room, but did not say that this room is a bedroom.

Xiaodao asked in surprise: “Are NPCs so bad?”

“It’s worse than you thought.” Lin Wu opened several doors and pointed to one of them: “This is the bedroom.

” The safe, the knife was about to insert the key, Lin Wu said: “Wait, think again, did we miss something?”

The knife said: “The third floor?”

“Yes, this is the third floor.”

“Bedroom?”

“That’s right, this is the bedroom.”

“The key?”

“The safe.” Lin Wu nodded, “Open it… wait, look for the safe.” It almost broke the big deal.

The two searched together in the bedroom, found a safe behind the portrait, and found a safe behind the dressing table. Xiaodao exclaimed: “Dawn is really so bad.”

Lin Wu had a headache: “It’s still tricked.” Following the correct clues, the player can find three safes in the bedroom, and the system will give the player three chances to open the safe. You can open one of the safes without any risk and take your own rewards.

But Damn Dawn puts a safe in the living room, causing the player to have to choose two out of three safes.

Lin Wu said: “Since it is a task to defraud players, it means that the bedside safe is fake.”

Xiaodao agreed: “Otherwise, the safe can be opened the second time, and there will be no surprises for the players.”

Lin Wu looked at Xiaodao Walking towards the portrait safe, he stopped again: “No, normal players find a hole in the living room safe, so they won’t fully trust the safe they see at the first sight in the bedroom. Instead, they will look for all the hidden safes like us. Come out. Shuguang has figured this out. Because the bedside safe is the real safe.”

Xiaodao had no doubts, walked to the bedside safe and asked, “Open?”

“Wait a minute, I’m not sure.” Lin Wu found himself Falling into a trap, he asked, “Xiaodao, which safe do you

intuitively   open   ?

” Wu had a hundred reasons to refute, but he didn’t say it, and made a gesture of please. The knife is also straightforward, inserting the key and turning it, the safe opened immediately, and the knife reached out and took out a skill book from it: “Fighter, your hands are your weapons. Beginner fighters, the strength effect of the empty hand state will be increased by 50%. Unlock Punch Stun: When you hit a zombie on the head with a heavy punch, there is a high chance to stun it for two seconds.”   Only single-celled organisms can defeat AI.   ”Learn it.” Sure enough, it was an exclusive task skill. Ever since he learned to trample and execute, Xiaodao never carried a melee weapon, and always went out empty-handed with his sleeves rolled up.   Lin Wu looked at the other two safes, and took out a key that looked exactly like the one held by Xiaodao just now. Xiaodao asked in surprise: “Two copies?”   Lin Wu shook his head: “No, I got it from Amanda’s corpse last time.”   Xiaodao asked: “Isn’t Amanda a mission NPC? How did she die?”   Lin Wu: ” That… fell and hit his head on a rock.”

Xiaodao: “So unlucky.”

“Who says it’s not.” There’s no need to spoil your identity in front of Xiaodao, after all, the two have different understandings of NPCs. Lin Wu asked: “Tell me your intuition, which safe do you think it will be?”

Xiaodao immediately replied: “The living room.”

“Ah?” What logic?

“Choose one of three, two in the bedroom and one in the living room.”

Faced with such an unreasonable choice, Lin Wu accepted it calmly. Go to the outer hall, insert the key into the safe and turn it, and the safe opens with a sound. Lin Wu and Xiaodao cheered and high-fived.
