When the third sheet of paper was unfolded, even the clerk paused for a moment, as if the newcomer before him had drawn something extraordinary.
The clerk reminded, "Please quickly browse through the exploration options you’ve drawn. I’ll provide relevant supplements after you’ve reviewed them."
Although Luo Di didn’t find the movie title he wanted, he was still excited and immediately focused on the specific content on the parchment.
≮Low-budget road horror film, as participants, you will play a family of four traveling on an endless road≯
Keywords: Death, Loop, Psychological Pressure.
Requirement: Find the "Exit"
Dungeon Depth and Film Difficulty: 1-★☆*
*The deeper the dungeon, the more films in the pool. This film is one of the selectable films on the first dungeon level, relatively easy in difficulty.
Special or Hidden Events: None
Sequel or Related Films: None
Reward: Low-level Death or Psychological Fear Perception, a small amount of Special Corner Coins*
*Unlike ordinary Corner Coins, these are coins unique to the dungeon, which can be exchanged for literary props in the video store.
"Ah?! Exploring the dungeon can earn Special Corner Coins that can be used to exchange for merchandise here? I wonder if there’s a matching set for my Metal Bat?"
"Only certain items can be exchanged. Some special movie merchandise needs to be obtained by completing goals or meeting requirements in the corresponding movie."
"Even partial exchanges are fine!"
Luo Di was eager to acquire more literary props related to "Friday the 13th", wanting to try out what kind of set effects could be achieved; mimicking them could undoubtedly achieve greater purity.
Next came the second piece of parchment.
≮Low-budget pseudo-documentary, as participants, you will play a filming crew going to a villa in the suburbs to observe and record an elderly man with Alzheimer’s disease≯
Keywords: Disease, Possession, Physical Mutation, Cult Ritual (Special).
Requirement: Disrupt the transmission of possession or completely erase the ritual’s origin.
Dungeon Depth and Film Difficulty: 1-☆ or ★★ (two different requirements, varying difficulty)*
Special or Hidden Events: Present
Sequel or Related Films: None
Reward: Low-level Physical or Demon Perception, a small amount of Special Corner Coins*, Ritual Items (requires meeting high difficulty requirements)
"There are actually two different clearance requirements? The difficulty varies greatly, and the event itself is related to demons... it might be helpful to my Hell System, this is worth considering.
However, let’s first take a look at this final special parchment."
Compared to the two previous yellowed parchments, the last piece selected by Lebeite was pure white, as if bleached.
The content on it was quite strange as well.
≮Congratulations on drawing a mysterious movie. The movie’s synopsis and most information will be kept confidential. Once chosen and completed, additional rewards will be granted.
Special Note: Mysterious movies often have high difficulty, and the plot may present narrative imbalance≯
Keywords: Random, Fragmentary.
Dungeon Depth and Film Difficulty: 1-? (random event difficulty may vary)*
Special or Hidden Events: Present
Sequel or Related Films: Present
"This paper basically has no information about the event, what’s the situation, can you explain?"
As Luo Di asked, the clerk gestured a congratulatory motion.
"You’re incredibly lucky! To draw a rare mysterious event on your first visit here.
As stated above, the movie content will be confidentially processed.
The specific requirements for completion must be figured out in unknown scenarios, which aligns well with the aim of the Corner.
Therefore, such mysterious events tend to offer higher rewards and will strengthen your connection with the dungeon, aiding your subsequent explorations."
"We need to discuss before making a choice."
The clerk raised his hand to indicate: "Wait a moment before discussing; there are a few more points I haven’t explained.
First, before beginning the dungeon exploration, you can choose ’Deposit Items.’
For example, this customer seems to be carrying several external items. Choosing to deposit all will grant the privilege of ’Original Experience,’ with a chance to earn extra rewards.
If you choose the mysterious event, the likelihood of obtaining additional rewards will be multiplied."
If you choose not to deposit your props, high-level props will be restricted to match the dungeon’s difficulty.
Secondly, during the exploration process, please try to perform actions that ’complement the narrative’, avoiding large-scale environmental destruction or chaotic behavior that would make it impossible for the storyline to continue.
Abnormal behavior may disrupt the dungeon’s structure, leading to very severe consequences.
Of course, this restriction isn’t too strict, just don’t overdo it.
Thirdly, you can only leave once the event conditions are met. If you die or your fear threshold is reached, your brain will be recycled by the dungeon.
The above are the points you need to be aware of, please quickly discuss and decide on your choice. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
There are ten minutes left."
Luo Di turned to face the team members, "Does anyone have any opinions?"
Lebeite, distracted, wandered around, "I don’t care, I’m not familiar with human culture, you guys decide~ Anyway, just pick the harder options. The second or the last random event seems fine to me."
"You decide, Luo Di." Hua Yuan said with an indifferent expression.
"Homie, if you have a choice in mind, just say it, everyone seems pretty laid-back otherwise."
"Then let’s choose the last one! Do you want to deposit your props?"
Lebeite only had the gloves from Mr. Question Mark, as his family didn’t provide any external props or simply didn’t need them.
Naturally, he chose to deposit them to maximize his exploration rewards.
Hua Yuan was the same, chasing physical mutation, she didn’t rely much on external props. The comic she got from the Black Coffin Supermarket had already fused with her body.
"Yu Ze, you should probably bring yours, right? You seem to have a lot of props, and they’re important."
"Can take or leave~ Bringing them would effectively enhance the team, helping us quickly lock onto targets, find exits or act stealthily.
For me alone, these props aren’t a big deal.
As long as I can get paper, I can draw talismans. As long as I can buy a table, I can set up a ritual altar."
Luo Di understood the implication, "Then let’s not bring any, I won’t bring mine either."
"Looks like the last videotape incident gave you all great confidence~ But indeed, our team of four is top-notch. Homie, you have full discretion."
Less than two minutes and the discussion was over.
"We’ll choose the mystery event and deposit all props."
When the store clerk heard this decision, black smoke began to seep from the gaps in the corner of the clerk’s face.
"An excellent choice, unlike those so-called ’cautious’ guests, who may succeed initially in their exploration but will inevitably be consumed by the dungeon later.
The storage area is on the right, just put all your props inside! The locker will automatically recognize your individual information, as long as you return safely, you can retrieve them, there’s no chance of loss."
The rusted lockers are embedded in the corner area,
Luo Di intentionally chose a locker deep inside, covered in mold and cobwebs, away from the others.
He had quite a few things on him,
His grandmother’s arm, the Hell Blade Handle, Jason’s bat, the monk’s robe, and the Crow Colt parasitizing within him, all placed inside without exception.
After placing these items, Luo Di immediately activated his perception, and after confirming no one was watching, quickly separated a "ring" in the shape of a finger from his body.
Just as he was prepared to place it inside swiftly, a hand silently landed on his shoulder, so silently that Luo Di had no idea the person had approached.
It wasn’t a team member, but the store clerk.
The face in the corner’s crack was staring closely at the special prop in his hand.
"Sir, this ring isn’t a prop; it’s a part of you. It’s allowed to be carried,"
As the deposit process completed.
There was only a bell sound! The clerk gently rang the bell on the counter.
The glass door to the store’s exit swung open on its own as a sinister wind swept in. Get full chapters from novel⟡fire.net
"Once you leave the store, your first dungeon exploration begins. Good luck. As you enter, some hidden mysterious information will gradually unlock. We hope you can uncover the mysterious truth and return here."
Luo Di and his companions were already prepared, each heading toward that dark exit.
This time, the teleportation didn’t last long, and amidst the darkness, four words penetrated about the title of the event they were engaging in this time.
Once the words faded,
Luo Di abruptly opened his eyes to find himself driving a van. The moment he regained his senses, he stomped hard on the gas!
A long mark from braking remained on the ground, and an old man crossing the street cursed a few words before slowly leaving.
Luo Di quickly searched inside the car and the surrounding environment but found no sign of his teammates, nor could he detect any of their information.
He himself had become a courier, with the phone’s navigation pointing to the next delivery location...
