I Became a God in a Horror Game

Chapter 554 The Lost Country of Gold (Sun 277)

At the moment of logging in, Bai Liu fell into the ocean.

This seems to be an extremely deep sea area. Bai Liu felt the huge pressure from his body. If it weren't for the fact that his current panel quality was inhuman, the moment he was teleported into this sea area, he would have suffered from the water pressure. The body was directly squeezed and blasted.

The deep sea is dark and dull everywhere, but the water waves that come from time to time tell Bai Liu that there must be some kind of large fish wandering around here.

Anyway, it's not a place to stay for long.

Bai Liu turned his eyes and looked at the only source of light in the deep sea - a huge city submerged in the sea.

Or it is not accurate enough to describe it as a city. Bai Liu is suspended very high on the bottom of the sea, and the entire city is below him. He can't even see the border. What's even more bizarre is that the city is wrapped in a huge semi-circular shape. Inside the glass protective cover - this protective cover Bai Liu has a very familiar feeling. When he was taken to the Heresy Processing Bureau, the protective cover outside the Heresy Processing Bureau was like this.

It stands to reason that you can see what's inside through the glass protective cover, but golden dust floats over the entire city, and you can only vaguely see the gorgeous buildings in the city.

It looked like a once prosperous city, but for some reason, it was now shielded and sunk to the bottom of the sea.

From the angle above where the white willow is located, the city exudes a warm golden light, and the golden sand and dust inside it floats up and down like snow. It looks like an extra-large snow crystal ball with a fairytale-like texture.

——This should be the [Lost Kingdom of Gold].

[System Tip: Players, please enter (The Lost Kingdom of Gold) to unlock the main quest. 】

Bai Liu moved downstream, he quickly touched the top of the protective shield, and at the moment of touching, he fell into this golden country under the sea.

The golden sand and dust all over the sky rushed towards Bai Liu in an instant. He stabilized his body and finally landed on the roof of a high-rise building. The roof was covered with peculiar gold powder, and people would feel a little slippery when stepping on it. Bai Liu looked down at the sky. There seemed to be golden dust flying endlessly in the middle, and he reached out and took a little bit and sipped it away.

The texture is so fine, it feels like you can breathe in.

The ground is covered with this kind of fine gold powder. From the gorgeous and solemn dome palace building on the horizon to the building in front of you, it is shrouded in a layer of peculiar gold dust, and the ground is also full of gold powder. The whole city was extremely quiet, not to mention human voices, not even the chirping of birds, so quiet that only the sound of falling dust could be heard.

[System Tip: Player Bai Liu please find a fairy tale book that is widely circulated in the country of gold, understand the background story of the dungeon, and unlock the main quest. 】

Bai Liu jumped off the rooftop with a light movement. After landing, he found an iconic building nearby and sent a message to his teammates, asking everyone to meet here. In less than three or four minutes, all four team members were gone. Came here.

We didn't encounter any NPCs or monsters blocking us on the road. Tang Er hit the gun behind his waist, frowned and said, Never encountered anyone from Golden Dawn.

I thought they would attack quickly as soon as they entered the dungeon, but I observed the dust on the ground along the way, and I didn't see the footprints of anyone other than us.

Yes. Mu Sicheng looked at the strange environment of the dungeon and rubbed his goosebumps arm, I was about to run away, but no one came after me.

Maybe it has something to do with the game settings of this dungeon. Liu Jiayi raised her head and opened her system panel, Because the background explanation and main quests of this dungeon are different from before, it is not given as soon as you come in, but you have to explore by yourself. The other party may be prepared to unlock the main quest first and then act like us.

Mu Ke nodded in agreement: But generally speaking, it's not a bad thing for us, this is a buffer time for us.

I don't think so. Bai Liu shook his head in denial, Golden Dawn was not a team that played speed battles. Playing speed stations is our countermeasure. They like to slow down the tempo, but slowing down the tempo is not good for players like us who can cd with skills. of.

The general idea is still the same as before, and a quick decision is made.

Bai Liu lowered his eyes and glanced at the gold powder falling on everyone's body, his eyes narrowed slightly: I always feel that this copy itself is more threatening to me than Golden Dawn.

Look for fairy tales first.

Yes!

Led by Bai Liu, a group of people walked into the nearest building. The building was also full of floating gold powder. The notice board at the front desk was so smeared with gold powder that it was hard to see. Liu Jiayi crouched down and wiped off the thick layer of the notice board. Thick gold powder, only to see the above content.

Liu Jiayi stared at the words on it for a while, then waved: Muke, I don't understand these characters.

Come on. Mu Ke walked over, stared at the notice for a while, and said after a moment of thought: It's a very old small language, I can't understand all of it, but I have studied the modern language that evolved behind it. Elective courses, probably the meaning can still be understood.”

This notice reads this month's notice, saying that there are still 13 households who have not paid water, electricity and gas fees this month. There is a household with serious arrears, and the total water and electricity fees are owed about 500g...

gold?

When Mu Ke saw the last phrase, his tone was obviously hesitant.

Wow?! Mu Sicheng squatted and approached with great interest, The utility bill for a pound of gold, what is this family doing at home? Have goldfish been raised?

Compared to this, I am more surprised by other places. Mu Ke turned the sign forward, and the more he turned, the more strange his expression became, There is no circulating currency issued by itself in this place, and their daily transaction is generally equivalent to gold. Gold is used to pay utility bills, and gold is also used for daily food purchases, three apples are 2g gold, and a whole beef shank and smoked meat is 12g gold.”

...Use gold for daily transactions? Mu Sicheng was stupefied, and he silently converted in his heart, This price is ridiculously high, and the people here are really rich.

You can use gold as a trading currency, and prices are so high. This should be a very developed place. They used to be very rich. Mu Ke frowned, But it's definitely not recently. Four or five times, the unit price of various water and electricity supplies has increased by nearly forty times, and food such as food can basically be said to start from the ground, and the price is one per day.”

That's why there are households who owe a pound of gold on utility bills before.

All kinds of things are going up in price. Mu Sicheng asked hesitantly, Shouldn't it mean that people in this place are getting richer?

Mu Ke glanced at Mu Sicheng: What is the thing that depends on the price increase.

If the price increases are for non-essential items that are already very expensive, such as luxury cars and watches for rich people, it means that everyone has the money to do some non-essential enjoyment. This situation Indeed, it is the performance of the regions where the economic development is getting better and better.

But judging from the announcement of this building, the prices of some slightly high-end foods, such as cheese, are all falling. Instead, the price increases are for necessities such as smoked meat, apples, water, electricity, and renting a house, which can only show the money in this area. , or gold has flowed into survival products, which shows that people in this area are living very badly, so they panic and stock up on necessities, causing the prices of necessities to double.”

The situation I saw is basically consistent. Mu Ke pointed at the bulletin board, There are more and more tenants in this building who can't pay the rent.

But in fact, it's hard for me to imagine that a place that uses gold as a currency will have such a premium for necessities. Mu Ke spread his hands, As long as this place has a port, they are willing to use gold for foreign trade. I believe that there are many in the world. It's where 2g gold is willing to sell them four hundred apples, but I see no trace of foreign trade.

A pound of gold has been the living cost of many families for several years, but it is only the water and electricity bill for this building for a few months.

There are many people in the world who are craving their gold madly, but they are here, unwilling to trade with foreign countries, and let prices skyrocket.

Maybe it's because so many people want their gold that they don't want it? Bai Liu squatted down on one knee and looked up at Mu Ke, who was stunned, The little language you speak of this place is what happened?

This is also one of my strange things. Mu Ke pondered for a while and replied, I am learning a very rare small language, which is rarely used in the real world. The origin of this small language is a A civilized language that exists only in legends.”

It is said that more than a thousand years ago, there was a very prosperous ancient country next to the ancient Luohai sea. Although this country is not vast, it is only a small coastal country, but this country is very rich. Almost even the floor of their palace is paved with gold, known as the Golden Land of God's Blessing. At that time, it was almost the center of economic exchanges in the world. The surrounding small countries yearned for this country. They imitated this country. The language that has been passed down to this day is the small language I am learning now.”

But everything in this country is inferred from the existing historical documents of some surrounding countries. There is no real relic and historical data to prove that this country really exists, and there is nothing to prove that the language of origin of the language I have learned is true. from this country of gold.

But now it seems. Mu Ke looked at the display screen next to the front desk covered with gold dust, the radio, and several very modern mobile phones, This country really exists.

And it has developed silently for a thousand years where we can't see it, until it perishes.

Mu Sicheng's mood was very complicated when he heard it: ...How can you learn such a small language?

Because my father wants me to learn that a son like me who can't inherit the family business can only be used as a card for the public. When I learn something that no one around me can't, he will feel honored for it, so I have learned a lot of things that I think are useless but he thinks are very stylish, and the small language is one of them. Mu Ke replied with a half-smile, You can understand this as the boring vanity of the rich.

But it's not all meaningless if it comes in handy now.

So the system wants us to explore why this country perished, right? Liu Jiayi frowned and said softly, [The Kingdom of Gold Blessed by God], it sounds very—

She didn't continue to speak, Bai Liu glanced at each other, and everything was silent.

——It sounds like a white six.

It's about us looking for fairy tale books, right? Tang Erda carefully rummaged through the address book at the front desk, It's easier for residents with children to have fairy tale books in their rooms, right?

There are three households with children on the second floor, and there are also on the third floor.

Tang Erda took the address book and turned to look at Bai Liu: Let's go up and find it?

Bai Liu nodded: Let's go.

The process of finding the fairy tale book was not difficult. When Tang Ershi pushed open the door of the second room, they found a fairy tale book on the table covered with gold powder.

The name is [The Land of Gold Blessed by the Gods]. Mu Ke took the book, read the words on it, then looked up at everyone, It should be this book.

Translate, we'll listen. Bai Liu sat on the small bench next to him, posing a posture of listening intently.

I may not be able to turn it all over. Mu Ke took a deep breath, But I will try my best.

He turned the first page of this heavy book of fairy tales covered in gold dust.

A long time ago, maybe a thousand years ago, next to the ancient Luohai, there was a beautiful seaside country called ancient Luoren.

At the same time, Georgia stood in the palace, and he looked down at this familiar and unfamiliar place - after ten years, he once again set foot on the ancient Loren country that he sunk to the bottom of the sea with his own hands, and he guarded it by the sea The biggest and most expensive heresy for a whole decade, his only and unforgettable homeland.

This palace, this gorgeous palace sprinkled with gold dust, was where he was born and raised. He still remembered that when he was ten years old, the whole country celebrated his birthday. Looking down from the fence that is taller than him, the square is full of people cheering for his growth.

They set off fireworks, swayed gold dust, and called his name loudly and affectionately:

Georgia!

Georgia!

Gold dust and fireworks fell on Georgia's shoulders, and the people's eyes reflected the most beautiful brilliance in the world. He suddenly leaned on the railing, looked at all this prosperity, and whispered softly: I really deserve what they did for me. Is this all?

His father, the king of Gloren, laughed and supported him on the shoulder: You are the crown prince of Gloren.

You are the king of the future who will lead them to a brighter golden age, who will protect them and preserve them.

Of course you deserve it all!

But what if... Little Georgia clenched his fists hesitantly, what if I can't do it well?

You won't do it badly. The king stroked his forehead lovingly, You are the best prince, I know, although you look ruthless and strict, you are actually a man with a heavy sense of responsibility from the very beginning. Good boy, what you fear most is to live up to the people who are eagerly waiting for you.

And a man with such fear will surely make a good king.

Hey. Seeing Georgia's frowning all the time, the king stroked his brow awkwardly, My child, do you remember that fairy tale?

When you really have a bad day, we are a golden country blessed by God, and we can go to God for help.

But what if God doesn't help us? Georgia couldn't hide his worry, which made him look a little mature. No one will help us all the time for no reason. God helps us, and we will definitely pay the price.

How could that be? The king laughed innocently. The purpose of God's existence is to make those who believe in him happy!

Captain? Chris asked softly, what's the matter with you?

The system prompts us to find fairy tale books, and you took us all the way here. Is this a place you are familiar with?

——The existence of Heresy 0073 is the top secret of the third round. Except for Georgia and Lu Yizhan, almost no one knows what Heresy 0073 looks like.

Georgia closed his eyes, he gathered his thoughts, and when he opened his eyes, it was the calm and courteous captain of the third inning again: Yes.

I remember that there is a fairy tale book here, but I forgot the exact location. You can search elsewhere in the palace.

Yes, Captain!

After a few team members responded, they began a well-trained carpet search of the entire palace.

After a short stay in Georgia, he headed towards the prince's bedroom in the palace. He walked steadily and solemnly, just like the day he became the crown prince, walking past the high platform where he was cheered by the people and learning archery. He walked past the pasture of art, walked past the flower bed where Armand had been knocked over, and finally came to his bedroom.

Everything here is as rigid as before. Thirteen bows and arrows of different specifications are hung on the wall in drawstrings. The huge bookshelf opposite is filled with various books, many of which have been read, and there are gold pins inside. Leaf bookmarks - his father made them especially for him.

Most of these books are professional books related to governing the country. They are obscure and difficult to understand. He would fall asleep reading them when he was young. In order to force himself to read more, Georgia secretly hid an ice basin under the bed. When I was sleepy, I stood barefoot on the ice basin for a while, relying on the low temperature to wake myself up, forcibly forcing myself to watch more.

Georgia was also punished by an angry father after Armand found out and reported it to his father.

[The body is the foundation of governing a country. 】Father scolded him severely, 【You are so eager and utilitarian to learn things, you can't keep calm in such a stable environment, how can you let the people follow you with peace of mind? ! 】

At that time, Georgia was fined not to read. Although he knelt down to receive the punishment, his face was calm, but his heart was also uncontrollable anxiety.

——It seems that this country, which is favored by the gods, will have a big problem if he loses his attention.

At that time, the only book that Georgia was allowed to read was the fairy tale book, The Golden Land of the Dependents of the Gods.

This book is a well-known fairy tale book in ancient Loren country.

But Georgia didn't like the fairy tale book, he resisted reading it, but read it at that time.

Georgia walked to the head of the bed. He slowly sat down on the bed covered with gold dust. There was a family portrait on the bedside table by the bed. He wiped the family portrait and saw Armand, who was only a few months old, and the board. The face still had a faint smile in his eyes, the father who smiled a little stupidly, and the mother who was sitting on the chair, smiling brightly.

——When Armand was four years old, their mother died, and after that, his father was devastated and gave himself the title of crown prince in advance.

So this is one of the few family photos of them, and it is also his favorite photo, so it is always on the bedside, but when Gloren was sunk, the sleepy Armand walked too hastily, even this photo The photos were not taken away.

I didn't expect to see you again after so long.

Georgia was silent, then he opened the pillow and saw the fairy tale book he hid under the pillow, and he turned to the second page:

The people of Ancient Loren are industrious and kind. Although the land they own is not vast and the land is not fertile, each of them lives a happy life by relying on their hard work.

It was an era when everyone was looking for gold, but there were no gold mines in the ancient Loren country, so they couldn't get gold, so in the end they got used to a stable life and multiplied from generation to generation.

Though the people in the ancient Loren country were poor, they lived so happily. This kind of happiness attracted God's attention. He came to the ancient Loren king at that time and said with a smile, You are willing to be one with me. deal?

The king asked, God, we are a poor nation and have nothing to trade with you.

God smiled and said, yes there is.

—that is the joy in you.

You give me happiness and pain, and at this price, I give you countless and inexhaustible gold mines, enough for you to enjoy for a thousand years.

But after a thousand years, you will pay me the pain.

The king thought about it for a long time, he called the people together and asked the opinion of each people, the people were rejoicing, no one would hate gold, especially this kind of gold that fell from the sky, all agreed with God's deal .

Mu Ke turned to the sixth page and continued to read softly:

The ancient Loren country has undergone earth-shaking changes.

This original land without gold has become a land of gold. When farmers dig anywhere, gold will appear in the soil. When fishermen fish out, the stones spit out by the fish in the net are all gold. It doesn't even need to be forged, and soon, Gloren has become the richest country in the world.

But this kind of wealth has attracted a lot of countries that have ulterior motives for Gu Luoren. They want to start a war against Gu Luoren and snatch Gu Luoren's gold. The witty king, in a hurry, found God again, and said to God, there is no God who can't, please hide us and leave only a small mouth, you can sell the gold, that's it.

God agreed. He hid Gu Luoren from the world, and no one could find the traces of Gu Luoren.

In this way, after a thousand years of peace and prosperity, it is time to pay the price.

Mu Ke turned another page, and the fairy tale book was over.
