This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

After five hours of resting in the snail’s belly, the strong wind and howling outside gradually stopped.

 Mu You glanced out through the snail's transparent body. The sword wind had ended, but the weather was getting gloomier and more severe.

Wind is the head of rain. According to the tips left by the ancestors of the Fool, after the ‘wind of swords’, there is ‘time rain’.

　　【The giant snail let out its last cry, with a hint of relief in its painful cry. 】

You look up and see that the snail's body is riddled with crystal thorns and its health is extremely weak. Finally, with this last cry, it is freed. 】

Like a melted candle, the snail's body quickly softened and shriveled, leaving only the outer carapace and a dry transparent film in the blink of an eye. 】

Within the abdominal cavity, many small animals began to line up to walk out of the snail's dead body, each holding an egg in their hands. 】

You were about to get up and leave, but the other animals around you turned to look at you, staring at your empty hands, and scratching their heads and ears anxiously, all reminding you that you forgot something. 】

You glanced at the many eggs left on the ground and picked one up. The other animals let you go and continued to line up and leave with their own eggs. 】

　　【You followed the little animals and came to the exit of the carapace. 】

The sky was covered with clouds, and the pattering raindrops fell quietly. It was just a drizzle at first, but soon the raindrops became clear and the rain became heavier and heavier. 】

  【The rain wet the ground, splashing the fragrance of the earth, and the raindrops gradually bounced on the ground to form a layer of mist. 】

The little animals hurriedly walked out of their carapace one by one, and quickly dispersed in all directions despite the raindrops. However, they did not go far away immediately. Instead, they hid under the surrounding leaves, rocks, mounds of earth and other shelters that could provide shelter from the rain. 】

　　【The snail eggs they each carried were left in the open space near the hiding place, allowing raindrops to pour on the eggs. 】

On the top of the snail carapace behind you, a cocoon quickly formed. A blue butterfly hatched from the cocoon, spread its wings and took off, flying deep into the forest, leaving only a cracked shell. Do you want to remove the worm slough? 】

"no."

Mu You didn’t pick up the insect sloughs, because the snail shells would disappear if they were picked, and he still needed the carapace to protect him from wind and rain.

At this time, Mu You was thoughtful as he watched the actions of these small animals outside.

　　　【You reach out of the snail shell and reach towards the rain curtain in front of you. 】

 Several raindrops as big as beans fall on your hand. 】

【WARNING: Your lifespan is rapidly decreasing due to direct skin exposure to rainwater. 】

Mu You looked at the life balance of the panel and saw that the life span was reduced by seven days in an instant.

 And he just received about seven drops of rainwater. In other words, each drop of rain will consume one day of his life?

According to this consumption rate, if you stand directly in the rain, you will have to withstand at least hundreds of raindrops every second, which means that you will lose about half a year of life every second.

If your life span is not long and you cannot find shelter from the rain for a while, you will indeed die suddenly if you are exposed to the rain for a while.

However, this loss of lifespan is not entirely a bad thing.

Mu You has discovered that this kind of raindrops does not directly burn lifespan, but speeds up the passage of a person's time. Every raindrop he endures is equivalent to skipping a day in his timeline!

Then, some things that originally took time to achieve will be completed naturally in this process, such as: belief transformation!

Before entering the Ring Forest, Mu You returned to Dawn City and invested 103,950 divinity stones into the statue, officially raising his star rating from seven stars to eight stars.

The more than 100,000 divinity stars that have just been invested need to be fully converted into belief in order before they can continue to advance to the nine stars.

There are only two ways to transform your faith, either killing the high-star monsters like crazy, or relying on 5 points of automatic transformation every day and using enough time to achieve it.

Originally, Mu You needed to farm more than 600 eight-star monsters to complete the conversion of faith. If he only went to find monsters to kill, it would take at least several months.

 But now, with the current rain of time, he can choose the second method: stand directly in the rain, let his time fly, and quickly transform his beliefs.

 According to the automatic conversion speed of five points per day, it would have taken more than 54 years to complete the conversion of 100,000 points of faith.

 Now, he only needs to stand in the rain for less than two minutes to complete the process!

Thinking of this, Mu You decisively let the characters step out of the snail shell and step into the rain.

　　【You take off the black angel covering your body and step directly into the rain curtain. 】

　　【The cold raindrops slap on your face and body without any hindrance, and your lifespan begins to decrease rapidly...】

Mu You observed the panel. The current lifespan reduction rate is about 150 days per second, and it takes about two seconds for a year to pass.

 At the same time, the numbers behind the "Belief Transformation" column on the panel began to increase rapidly at a rate of seven to eight hundred points per second!

Two minutes later, Mu You's lifespan expired 55 years, and the 100,000+ divinities of 8 Stars have all been converted into belief in order in this short gap. As long as the characters return to Dawn City, they can Promote to nine stars at any time!

This was definitely an unexpected surprise. Before coming to Jie Lin, Mu You never thought that there was such a magical rain in the world, which directly helped him save several months of killing monsters.

 Getting back to the subject, now that the transformation of faith was completed, Mu You was not in a hurry to return to the snail shell to take shelter from the rain, because he suddenly discovered another bigger surprise:

As the raindrops continued to fall, the growth rate of the time seeds among the three theocratic villains in his mind began to quietly increase!

Mu You stared at the panel and repeatedly confirmed that it was correct. His Seed of Time value was originally only 0.3%, but just when he got rained on, it quietly jumped to 0.4%!

 The rain of time can make the seeds of time grow?

Mu You was both pleasantly surprised and surprised. You must know that this is the Jinglin. It uses the world rules of the original world. It is the place that most rejects the divine system in the world. In theory, the local things in the Jinglin will not affect the divine system. The ability is right.

  Could it be said that the Seed of Time is not just an ability under the divine system?

etc…

Mu You suddenly realized that Pocket Watch seemed not to be suppressed in the Ring Forest...

Now he is on the third level of the Ring Forest, and has entered the category of going deep into the Ring Forest. Under the suppression of the Ring Forest, all his divine power has been greatly suppressed at this time. Even the Pen of Order and the Law of Order are already very powerful here. It is difficult to write a complete rune of order.

 The time pocket watch, however, can still rewind normally. The longest rewind time is still ten seconds, and its power has not been reduced at all.

Of course, pocket watches are special. Pocket watches are used in reality. After going back in time, the time of the entire world will be reset together, so the game characters will also go back together.

Mu You couldn't tell for a moment. Was it because he used a pocket watch in reality that he was not affected by Jie Lin? Or is the pocket watch itself not subject to Jie Lin's suppression?

If you throw your pocket watch into the ring forest at this time and let the game character press it, can you still rewind the time normally?

 Unfortunately, the pocket watch has lost its physical form and has been transferred to his body, making it impossible to take it out for verification.

 After thinking about it, Mu You suddenly took out the endless top.

This gyro game has been tried before. After turning in reality, it can enter the limit, but the phone will stop running and become stationary. All button and touch screen responses will stop, making it impossible to operate the game.

So the Endless Gyro can only be used in theory in reality and cannot help the Fool's Game. For this reason, Mu You never thought of equipping game characters with a gyroscope. After all, the equipment slot is very limited. But at this time, you can use a top to test the impact of Jilin on the rules of time.

 Muyou asked the character to return to the volute, waited for a while, put the top into the game, and assembled it.

　　【You activated the Endless Gyro, the rain curtain in front of you stopped as if pressing the pause button, and you entered the realm of cessation...】

As he clicked to use the gyroscope, a prompt popped up in the game, and in reality, everything stopped immediately.

 Obviously, he successfully entered the realm of cessation.

 Mu You looked at his phone.

At this time, the phone has once again fallen into a state of inoperability due to the limit, but the last prompt pops up, indicating that the ring has also entered the limit, and the ring will not affect the operation of the endless top.

Mu You waited for a moment. After ten seconds, the limit ended and the phone automatically resumed operation.

 The game also promptly popped up a prompt of [end of limit].

Now Mu You can completely confirm: the problem is not the time pocket watch, but the divine right of time itself!

 Time is a very special divine right.

Countless years ago, the divine stone fell from the sky and brought the divine system to the world of high heaven. The rules of the divine system and the rules of the original world are in conflict and exclusion. Even space is squeezing and occupying each other.

Most of the rules and areas in the original world have been occupied and covered by the divine system, but time is the only thing that both worlds have, and the time flow rate of the two world systems is also exactly the same.

 So only the divine right of time is the common law under the two world rules, and it is also the only channel that can connect the two opposing systems.

Thinking of this, Mu You decisively let the characters walk into the rain and continue to soak in the rain.

In the previous two minutes, just the consumption of more than 50 years of life, his time seed had grown by 0.1%. This speed was not slow. If he could rely on this rain to increase the time seed to 100%, he would be able to laugh in his dreams. Awake!

Of course, Mu You also knows that it is actually impossible. The reason why the Seed of Order can be increased to 100% is because his divine power of order is complete, while he has obtained a very small part of the divine power of time, and his growth rate is likely to have an upper limit.

Sure enough, Mu You observed the panel for a while in the rain, and soon found that the growth of the Time Seed began to slow down. It could increase by 0.1% in the first two minutes, and then it took three minutes, four minutes... Every 0.1 increase in time became It keeps growing longer and longer, and sooner or later it will stop growing.

Mu You's lifespan is actually not that long, only about a thousand years, but it doesn't matter, there are two big lifespans around him.

The clockkeeper and the herb gatherer, both clones have accumulated a huge amount of lifespan during the four thousand years of daily tasks in the Bitter Garden.

 “Quick, someone give me some lifespan.” Mu You looked at the watchman.

"Oh? How much do you want?" The person who wrote the call didn't think much about it and just clicked on the forum transfer interface.

 “Let’s go ten thousand years first.” Mu Youyou said.

 “Uh…” The watchman looked over with a suspicious look on his face: “What do you want to do, main body?”

You must know that there are very few places in the Gaotian world that consume life spans. If Mu You asked for hundreds or thousands of years, he would not bother to ask, but it would only take ten thousand years, and it would be like 'ten thousand years first' His tone sounded like there was a bottomless pit waiting behind him, which made him wonder if his body had encountered some kind of electronic fraud.

“It’s a long story, but let’s turn it over first. It’s urgent.” Mu You urged.

Just in the time it took to speak, another few decades of his life were consumed.

The watchman didn't ask any more questions and transferred the money directly. However, he immediately became vigilant and stared closely at Mu You's next move. He looked at him as if he was seeing an electronic fraud at home. If he didn't listen to his children's advice, he would have to change his life or death. Stubborn old man with money.

 Mu You didn’t know what the watchman was thinking. At the moment, he was happily enjoying the rain in the game.

With his lifespan burning at a rate of two seconds per year, Mu You didn't panic at all as the clone had just turned around for ten thousand years. These ten thousand years were enough for him to wander for five or six hours. The rain would probably stop by then. Even if it doesn't stop, you can continue to let the clone make money.

 In short, with such a good opportunity, he must upgrade the seed of divine power to the point where it cannot be upgraded.

You are walking in the rain, and the rain is beating on every piece of land in the jungle. The Ring Forest seems to be particularly peaceful at this moment. 】

  【You see on the ground in front of you, the snail eggs that were thrown into the rain by small animals began to grow in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and hatched...】

　　【Soft-bodied snail larvae emerge from the eggs one by one, squirming on the wet ground, raising their heads to **** in the raindrops falling from the sky, as if this is not rain, but mother's milk...】

“Oh?” Mu You was a little surprised. It turns out that this kind of rain can help snail eggs hatch? No wonder the little animals deliberately place their eggs in open spaces.

Mu You checked the snail egg he brought out, and sure enough, his one had also hatched.

  【A soft-bodied snail larvae hatches from the palm of your hand, climbs along your arm and onto your shoulder to better receive water from the rain...】

　　【You stretched out your palm, caught a handful of rainwater, and held it in front of your eyes to examine it carefully. I wonder if it was an illusion, but you vaguely saw a large number of familiar blue butterflies flying in the rainwater...】

[The shadows of these mini butterflies enter the bodies of surrounding creatures as the rainwater enters. You find that the snail larvae in your hand, as well as all nearby plants and animals exposed to the rain, have grown larger than before at a speed visible to the naked eye... 】

 “So that’s it…”

 Mu You looked at these text descriptions and realized something.

This kind of rain of time will shorten lifespan and is a harmful natural disaster, but this is only for creatures like them from the star spirit world, and creatures in the high heaven world have no concept of lifespan from the beginning.

 These creatures in the Ring Forest do not have a clear fixed time of death such as lifespan, but they also have the concept of 'birth, old age, sickness and death'.

 The rain of time does not deprive the lifespan of the creatures here, but enhances their growth stage.

From the past, when every creature dies, a moon butterfly will grow inside its body, and now the rain contains the shadow of the moon butterfly. It is not difficult for Mu You to deduce that all the creatures in Jie Lin probably have a moon butterfly in their bodies. The illusory moon butterfly, this butterfly has grown up with living creatures since they were born.

Instead of calling this butterfly a moon butterfly, it would be more appropriate to call it a 'time butterfly'.

Butterflies that are given time to organisms will continue to grow when watered by the rain of time. The external manifestation is that the organism's growth stages increase, from embryonic state, to hatching, to larvae, to adulthood, to old age, until the body declines. , the flesh and blood dried up and died.

At this time, the moon butterfly will not die with the living things, but will break out of the cocoon, carrying the memories and joys and sorrows of life, fly to the depths of the Ring Forest, and return to the source of rain.

After a series of changes, the moon butterfly once again turned into a raindrop of time and landed, entering the body of other living beings, continuing to grow with the living beings, watching the new living beings grow old, sick and die, and then turn into butterflies and rain again, and the cycle repeats, never ending...
