Chapter 12: Siren Town

Bai Liu understood why the driver had described this first time mermaid as beautiful and superior.

Those originally well-made mermaid wax figure this mermaid skeleton compared to is like crude cheap tourist souvenirs.

And Bai Liu, who had a soft spot for expensive looking items, went up to look at the profile next to this mermaid.

[Siren, a creature caught during a group fishing activity in the town of Siren on the night of xx, xx, xx, xx, after verification by the relevant organizations, it has been determined that there are no synthetic factors, and that it is a rare creature that grows naturally under purely natural conditions.]

[...... was already in the state of a corpse when it was caught, and was later sealed in a curing solution and kept in the center gallery of the Siren Wax Museum for tourists to visit].

This thing, should be a very powerful monster, Bai Liu thought.

As Bai Liu looked down at the presentation of this mermaid skeleton, the fingers of the mermaid's right hand in the cabinet flicked imperceptibly.

The sudden coin on Bai Liu's chest vibrated like crazy, violently popping up countless bright red panels, one after another, like a system failure superimposed in front of Bai Liu.

Refreshment of the Monster Book of Seiren Town - King Seiren (2/4)

[Monster name: King Seiren]

[Weaknesses: None at this time (Players are not required to explore the monster's weaknesses.)]

[Attack method: ???? (Unknown, to be explored)

[You have triggered the wandering god npc King Seiren!!!]

[Survival rates for copies of the game "Cylon Town" are dropping at an extremely rapid rate, recalculations are underway ...... The original game clearance rate of 51% is now down to ?????? %!!!]

[Warning! Warning! This NPC is extremely dangerous, currently there is no clear weakness, once the NPC tries to kill, the player can't utilize the weakness to escape, there is only one way to die, please speed up the game hacking progress and quickly escape from Siren Town before this NPC wakes up!

[It is predicted that the NPC will awaken in one more day, so please speed up your quest!

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows, he is ...... encountered something unimaginable?

Bai Liu looked at the red warning text on the panel and was still thinking about countermeasures, not realizing that this warning had already almost scared a senior Cloud player who happened to pass by in front of the big screen in the central gaming hall silly.

Wang Shun, a veteran Cloud player who has been crouching in front of the big screen in the central gaming lobby for years, is now crouching in front of the central screen, staring stonily at Bai Liu's tiny TV.

Cloud player means less time off the field and more time watching others play. Wang Shun is more often than not responsible for collecting game information from players and submitting it to the player guild organization he belongs to.

But after watching gameplay videos for so long, it was the first time he had seen a god-level wandering NPC on the central game screen.

Wang Shun looked at the screen and repeated the confirmation twice before speaking in a trance:

"I'm not mistaken, am I? This...it's that God-level wandering NPC right? Who's so unlucky to have entered a copy with a god-rank wandering NPC..."

There are thousands and thousands of countless horror games throughout the system, all of which are individual copies of the game.

The npcs and monsters in each game are different and fixed, as if they were different games displayed on top of a game store, not interfering with or affecting each other.

Players enter each copy of the game as separate excursions that don't scurry and merge with each other.

But at some point, a strange wandering type NPC appeared.

This NPC would randomly appear in every copy of the horror game, traveling through the game in a brutal and unreasonable manner, and would even possess one of the monsters in it, transforming the monster from a normal type of monster into a god-ranked monster with a huge killing power, causing a group of players to cry out in agony, and to tremble with fear of triggering this god-ranked wandering NPC every time they entered the game.

However, the probability of this npc triggering is actually very low, Wang Shun has been watching [Little TV] for many years and has never seen anyone trigger this divine wandering npc.

However, it is also because the killing power of this divine wandering NPC is quite huge, usually once it appears the whole team is instantly wiped out, the audience simply can't wait to see it, the players are all dead, so there are many rumors about the divine wandering NPCs, but there is very little information, and once it appears, it will be the top level information for cloud players like Wang Shun!

If you collect all the information, you might be able to sell the points!

Wang Shun instantly became concentrated, he squatted in front of Bai Liu this small TV today and did not go!

But the amazing thing is, such a powerful gameplay video with a god-level NPC is actually at the very edge of the center screen, if not Wang Shun has the habit of carefully scanning the entire screen, and seeing the red warnings all over the screen of this small screen here, he might have missed it.

"Is the system's algorithm wrong?" Wang Shun stayed in front of Bai Liu's screen and muttered, "How come this kind of video shouldn't be in this kind of fringe position ah, this player is doing very well ah, the first page of the monster book is going to be set, and seeing the wandering god-level NPCs are so calm and not negative about the game, this mental quality is bullish enough... ..."

As he did so, he tapped on his game manager and looked up the information on the player behind the little TV that was Bai Liu, then slowly widened his eyes:

"...... This is actually a newbie playing the game for the first time? Seriously?!"

------

[Game Forums - Anyone see that new player on the center screen who just moved up from the newbie section?

1L: It's okay to move up in the first game! Is he going to be the new star of the year in this year's standings?

2L: No way, this guy is going to be cold, I'm watching his little TV right now, he's had so much bad luck swiping god tier wandering npc's, this is probably the last game of his life this one will be.

3L: He was doing great in the rookie section before, how is he so non ah...but he's really good, he doesn't necessarily have to die

4L: Does anyone else not get the wandering npc writing npc reading bug?

This npc has no weaknesses, every time as long as it appears, the player side is basically destroyed in a group because they can't run away, I feel like it's already destroying the balance of the game, I feel like it's just the system giving a name to an unsolvable bug that is a roaming npc to fool the players...

5L: Harm, I was kinda bullish on him before, thought he had hopes of hitting the points high for Siren Town, because he's really good at thinking.

6L: The highest points record in "Siren Town" is God Mu's, right? I remember without charging is more than 1,300 points, God Mu now nightmare rising star list fourth, this newcomer this hand can not survive, over the level of touch ah.

7L: It's a pity, this newcomer's face value can also be, if he doesn't die, there's still a chance to hit the top 10 high face value players if he looks like this...

8l: fart, he this little white face look into a hammer, the top ten high-value players first look at the operation and then look at the face, okay? He will be cold in this game ......

.........

[1 new person liked Bai Liu's Little TV, 416 new people favorite Bai Liu's Little TV, no one has charged Bai Liu]

[512 new people are watching Bai Liu's little TV, but no one likes it, how strange is that, is it because the player is not doing well? Give us a like!

[The number of new likes is too low, and player Bai Liu's center screen edge promotion is about to expire].

.........

Bai Liu knew nothing of these discussions, and only stared in silence as he examined the mermaid in the middle of the glass cabinet - this was undoubtedly the highest ranked boss in the entire game, and it was the play that clearly told him so. Facing this boss, there was no way for the player to escape by exploiting weaknesses.

After awakening, death is certain.

Although Bai Liu didn't really like the feeling of being absolutely held back, but even if the game said so, he really couldn't do anything about his opponent.

But before awakening, the mermaid may not fail to give Bai Liu a glimpse of life.

Bai Liu stroked his chin and boldly tried to use King Seiren to make some benefits for himself, if he said this idea, I guess the group of people who were watching outside would be speechless to him and say that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

But alas, he knows nothing of it, and Bai Liu quite ordinarily treats King Seiren as a monster NPC he can deal with at will, just a little more advanced and difficult.

There is no such thing as a boss in the game that the player is completely helpless against, even if it's a monster with a scary looking panel.

As long as the game has no bugs, then even if the game tells the player how much the monster makes people have no way out, it's still mostly one of the designer's tricks to whet the player's appetite.

But what Bai Liu didn't know was that what he encountered was the [Divine Wandering NPC] that was known to be a bug in this game.

......

They stayed at the wax museum until evening, and when the driver drove up to pick them up, the keeper bade them farewell with joy in his old, decaying voice: "...... It's been a long time since there's been a mermaid catch of this magnitude, and the Siren Wax Museum will finally be ready to welcome a new mermaid wax statue again after this night. "

His smile had an oddly pleasant quality to it as he rolled his eyeless eyes and stared at Bai Liu : "Have a nice evening."
