After a few seconds, Feng Bujue opened Body-Spirit Congregation Technique, leaped out in mid-air. Of course, he didn’t use the skills to make his jump posture more graceful but to jump farther.
He dropped into the misty depths with a posture of head down, arms outstretched.
At that moment, there was only the wind in his ear, but his expression was excited and happy.
Usually, there are only three ways to simulate this kind of experiment except for jump from the building: One is diving, two is bungee, three is skydiving. Anyway, Feng Bujue, as a man who can't swim and never tried diving. And he never had a chance to try about bungee and skydiving. But now, he finally experienced the feeling of jumping from high into the air in a virtual online game.
Although this is just a neural connection game, the simulation of the feeling of falling is not different from the real world. Generally, the body naturally tightens even when the person is not shouting.
However, Feng Bujue is a person who cannot feel fear, so he can fully relax his body when he is in the air and experience the purest feeling of falling.
He could look down without blinking. He thought, even if I fall to death, I should see what is going on below before I die.
A few seconds later, Feng Bujue fell into a thick cloud. At that moment, he realized that he had made the right choice and it should be this way.
Those white clouds were like a buffer, they were softer than water but more effective. When a person’s body hits the mist, it doesn’t feel like a high-altitude dive into cement. Feng Bujue's body feeling through the fog was like walking from the air conditioning into the hot street, the body was like a ball of thicker air wrapping, then its fall speed gradually reduced with a slow rhythm.
When Feng Bujue landed, it was like a feather falling down without feeling any impact. Also, his Survival Value was not reduced at all.
There's a mystery under the fog. The clouds above seemed to be another sky, and the sunlight filtered down, making the valley a bit cloudy.
The air was slightly damp, and there was a thin wood all around. Feng Bujue looked up after taking a glance at his surroundings, but he could not tell how high the place was, even though he kept his eyes open as he took the leap.
He didn’t try to shout up, because it was obvious that his voice couldn’t travel that far. So, he decided to wait here, keeping his head up. He could then know if Like Rain jumped and landed.
For the rest of the time, Feng Bujue tested the gravity case here, and the results were normal. The height he jumped from where he was and the weight he felt on the soles of his feet were the same as it had ever been. He considered that the white mist in the sky was the key to not falling to death. Perhaps as the human body passed through the fog, it would be inflicted on a low-speed fall Buff or something, and then it would disappear after player land.
Like Rain didn't let him wait for five minutes. She came in two minutes. Seeing the figures slowly descending from the sky, Feng Bujue gave an estimate of where they would land, and immediately set out.
Perhaps it was luck that the place where Rain fell was not far from the place where he had dropped, Feng Bujue met her quickly. His first sentence was, "No problem for The Leap of Faith, right?”
“When you jump down, she thought you are crazy.” Like Rain said, “When I said I was going to jump, she thought I was going to die for love,”
“Hha, there's no way we can explain to NPC terms like the game menu and team status.” Feng Bujue laughed.
“But it does take quite a bit of courage to jump straight down, though. By mere conjecture,” Said Rain, “you would have risked your immediate death in doing so… You are such a… “
“Extremely narcissistic, right?” Feng Bujue said: “Ok, I know that.” He turned to the valley. “Let’s go, hurry up.”
“Don’t wait for NPC to come down?” Asked Rain.
“How could she come down?" Feng Bujue said, “If it were you, will you jump off a cliff in real life after seeing two freaking dudes talking about these strange theories? Would you joke about your life and go down with them?”
Feng Bujue was right. After Lu Qingning watched these two people of Breaking Sword Tea Shack leaped into the valley, her mind fell into a blank. She could not help wondering whether these two people really existed, she had already gone mad and had come some kind of hallucination.
It was impossible to make Lu Qingning jump down with her. Unless she could stand up and see the bottom of the valley, or hear the two players shouting at her at the bottom of the valley, or she will not jump as a "suicide" behaviour.
Like Rain heard the speech and being silenced for two seconds, then nodded indifferently: “GO.”
………… They walked out of the forest for about twenty minutes and saw a lake surrounded by trees.
The lake is very big. Looking at the center, they can see an island. Under the cloudy sky, the island looks secluded, even standing here on the shore of the lake, they can feel… The island seemed to be surrounded by an invisible, powerful breath.
When they reached the lake, Feng Bujue bent down and reached out to explore the lake. The water was clear and cool, and he could see the fat fish swimming around the lake.
Ten meters behind them was the forest with a deep crimson and golden hue. Thought back, they walked in silence all the way without much dialogue and noise around them. It's hard to say this condition is romantic or wired… “There is a boat.” Like Rain looked along the lakeshore, saw a tied small boat far from them.
“Well… We don’t have much choice." Feng Bujue shrugged his shoulders and walked along with Rain.
There is no doubt that there must be something on that island in the middle of the lake, most likely where the soul was lost. It was obviously not possible to swim across the lack. Even it's a swimmer, it will not be an easy work to swim this far so the system set up the boat.
“I think there’s going to be something really scary on that island.” Soon after they were on board, Feng Bujue was paddling and opening his mouth.
“Are you scaring me?" Like Rain asked.
“No… “Feng Bujue said:” I just suddenly think… Perhaps all battles can be avoided in this plot. If that’s the case, then the system is going to have to set up some scary elements.”
“Speaking of that… So far, it’s been really easy.” Said Like rain.
Feng Bujue nodded: “The mountain’s main mission about Little Bella has not been arranged to give us any battle that is completely unavoidable. We avoided all the potential fights.” He paused for a second and then added: “The monster tree and the monster monk, for example, are clearly capable of being taken away by violent. When we encounter the tree, we can kill it to get the bell. And when we meet the monk, beating him will certainly get the bell and open the gap into this area.
"Even Lu Qingning, if she had misunderstood and we fight, and eventually killed by us, this kind of plot is not impossible.
"But if we do that, it will undoubtedly lead to loss of information. Such as the Vajra Bell, the conspiracy of Lin Chang, etc. So… A lot of the plot and intelligence will be unknown if the plot is broken through by purely violent. Most of all we can know something by recreating the scene through the dead fragments to get a glimpse of what happened. And most of the time, we will kill what we see, until the final clearance we will still keeping confused.
"This is intellectually easy, no need to think, just killing a hostile NPC or monster. But when it comes to fighting, our team can’t afford it."
Feng Bujue adjusted his sitting position to make the rowing smoother, and continued, “and we basically negotiated peacefully along the way, and of course there was some kind of ‘torture’, but we didn’t kill it anyway. In short, our customs clearance process can grasp more plots but also saved lots of resources. No additional Stamina Value cost, and supplies, ammunition, Survival Value, Spiritual Value… Almost nothing was lost.
"According to the game’s usual experience… It's no gain, no pain. So, I think if this line can be completed without a fight, then we are sure to face puzzles, startle or dead FLAG options… “
They were halfway over the distance when they were speaking. At this time, a light wind blew, chilled them to the bone.
At that moment, the low, misty sky grew darker, as if it were darker every minute they approached the island.
By the time they reached the shore of the island in the middle of the lake, it was almost as dark as night, with only a gleam of dusk falling from the sky, and they could only see very close.
They had landed on a slope near the island. Before them, there was a forest of hemlock and cedar, whose shadows were black and impenetrable. It was like a living thing that comes out, threatening the edge of the island.
If a player is brave not enough, his fear value will be over 30 percent standing on the edge of the forest, and there's no need to mention about directly walking into the forest……..
