Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Everyone sent Officer Sato away with full of questions, and then rushed into the cabin to look for Yun Xianhe.

Finally found each other in the game hall.

Looking at the person lying safely in a game cabin in the corner, Zhu Fu Jingguang breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is this guy playing at?"

Hattori muttered something with his eyes half closed, then directly climbed onto the game console he had used before.

He wanted to see if there was anything more important than the murder happening outside.

[Ding, welcome players online. ]

Hattori Heiji took a look at the contact page.

The avatar symbolizing Conan just lit up, and at the top, there was a white cartoon avatar, which I think represented Yun Xianhe.

He reached out and clicked, and received a prompt from the game system.

[Your friend is playing "Brave Continent: End of the Earth"]

[Options: Send message/Join the other party's current game world/Watch/Leave]

"Watching the battle?"

It was a very fresh option, which made Hattori a little confused.

Conan, who also logged into the game cabin, was much more decisive and directly selected [Join]

[Ding, it is detected that your current combat capability is insufficient, and you are temporarily unable to join "The End of the Earth"]

[Please reselect the game difficulty]

"?ha?"

Conan clicked twice more out of disbelief, but the message was the same every time.

He stared at the message "Insufficient Combat Ability" with dead fish eyes, returned to the game options interface, and opened the introduction of "Brave Continent".

In the difficulty mode, in addition to the four basic options of 'Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hell'.

There are also five map modes - Birth, Desolation, Prosperity, Chaos, and End of the World.

Moreover, the system prompts that the simplest map mode here is "Prosperity".

"Shouldn't it be a newborn?"

Conan muttered in confusion.

Then he opened the system contact and honestly chose "watch".

[The underage care mechanism is activated, and you are being shielded from images and sensations that may cause discomfort. ]

The game system prompt sound disappears.

Conan simply felt his body lighten, and then he found himself standing on a platform in mid-air.

The sky in sight was a strange grayish white.

Black granular impurities continued to rise into the air and then dissipated midway.

In the distance, unknown creatures were decomposing like error codes.

It seemed to notice that there was suddenly a human being on this land, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Conan.

The beast's red eyes, which should have been sharp, were filled with confusion.

I don’t know why I was born, and I don’t know why I died.

The next second, the collapse of the creature accelerated.

Conan watched it open its mouth, its huge head half tilted back, as if in pain, but no sound came out.

Then, the mountain-like body shattered into black particles.

Same as that suspended in the air.

Conan just felt a chill down his spine.

He subconsciously began to search for where Yun Xianhe was.

Then he saw Hattori sitting cross-legged in the air not far away.

"Hattori!"

"Oh, Conan, you're in too."

"Where's Brother Xianhe? Have you seen him?"

Osaka Chocolate propped up his chin with one hand and pointed to the distance:

"There. I just tried it. There's no way to communicate with the people in the game here. I don't understand why he entered this game. Is he just sitting here and staring blankly?"

Following the other person's line of sight, Conan saw Yun Xianhe sitting on the edge of the cliff.

On the gray-green grass, six colors of unknown flowers formed a cluster, surrounding the thin boy.

The latter's calves were hanging over the cliff, his eyes staring into the distance with an unfocused look.

He really looked like he was in a daze.

However, Conan always felt that the back figure would be destroyed at any time and turned into one of the black particles that were constantly rising into the sky.

Conan, feeling somewhat uneasy, turned his gaze away from the other person and looked elsewhere.

It was an empty world with nothing in it except the endless grassland.

Why is the difficulty level here the highest?

Thinking of the protection mechanism for minors, Conan had a vague guess.

He said hello to Hattori and exited the game.

Zhu Fujingguang and others outside the game cabin saw Conan wake up.

Just as I was about to ask the other party what was going on inside, I was interrupted:

"Mr. Midorikawa, please log in to the game now and take a look at Brother Xianhe's game world."

"What happened?"

"Uh... to get started with the game you need to judge the character's skills... that's not the point. The main thing is that I always feel that Brother Xianhe is weird. But Hattori and I can't see it because of the protection mechanism."

Zhu Fu Jingguang turned around and looked at the others, all of them were a little confused.

But it concerns Yun Xianhe.

The worried Jing Guangma still chose a game cabin and learned how to log in with the help of Si Liuyi.

The simulated touch of the game cabin made Zhu Fujingguang feel a little novel at first.

He heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that his current character image was the same as after the disguise.

That’s right, since it was designed by Xianhe, he would definitely take this into consideration.

A dot lights up on an envelope icon representing 'message' on the interface.

Zhu Fu Jingguang opened it and saw the operation instructions sent to him by Conan.

However, he soon encountered the same problem as the other party.

[Ding, it is detected that your current combat capability is insufficient, and you are temporarily unable to join "The End of the Earth"]

[Please reselect the game difficulty]

"???"

Scotch, a former member of the distillery organization, glanced at the prompt in confusion.

Although he is currently a life assistant,

But I haven't neglected my daily exercise and regular training, and my skills haven't declined...

Fighting ability, lack of...?

[How about it? Mr. Midorikawa, can you come in? —Conan]

[No. —Midorikawa Hikaru]

On the other side, Conan looked at the message and replied, rubbing his chin:

"It seems that this fighting ability has nothing to do with age."

The most powerful fighter on board...

That burly officer Ida Hang? Xiaolan?

At the same time, Amuro, who was also told that he had "insufficient combat capability", smiled.

He stared at the words on the screen and smiled warmly:

"insufficient?"

[Ding, your stats have not reached the basic pressure resistance state of "Hell Level·End of the Earth". If you force your way in, you will be crushed by the chaotic magnetic field and gravity.]

When Toru Amuro saw this, a question mark slowly appeared in his head.

What kind of world is that?

Thinking about it, although a little unwilling, I finally clicked "Watch".

As soon as I entered the game, a strong smell of blood hit me.

The thick, sticky smell was like a wet silk scarf, covering his face tightly.

The blood-stained grass stretched as far as the eye could see, with piles of grotesque corpses that had not yet completely disappeared scattered about.

It was like the end of the world.
