Chapter 14 The long awaited freedom
In the game of "The martial world", every character had five attributes, namely strength, agility, savvy, root and will power. Each attribute had a rating range from 6 to 18 points. A total of 60 points were allocated freely among the five attributes.
Dugu Hong’s strength was 10 points. The internal strength had helped Dugu’s strength to increase to 16 points. After the internal perfusion, his strength increased to 26 points.
Without suspense, the rope that had been binding him and limiting him for four years was broken.
While taking out the cloth that was stuck in his mouth and untying the buckle of his eye mask, Dugu Hong couldn’t wait to scream out, “I am free now…”
His cheers came to an abrupt end. Because, after unpacking the eye mask, there was still darkness in front of him.
This was a space without a slight light source. It made no difference covering one’s eyes or not.
With a greater hope, one could have a greater disappointment. If this happened to others, it could be a catastrophic failure. But Dugu Hong didn’t care about it at all. He started to explore the cave again after a little calm down.
The game of “The martial world” had pre-settings on physical strength and the level of satiety.
In a non-specific environment, the degree of satiety would not decrease. It only fluctuated with the level of physical exertion.
Physical strength did not always decrease, either. Its consumption was in accordance with the amount of human activities. When one was walking slowly or sitting still, his physical strength may not decrease.
Therefore, during the four years he had been trapped here, Dugu Hong didn’t starve to death.
After two turns in the cave, Dugu Hong slowly adapted to his long separated body.
There was a synchronization process between the brain and the body in brain computer games.
It wasn’t as difficult as rehabilitation in real life. But it was not a quick game to get back to its original best state.
During this recovery time, Dugu Hong had confirmed one thing.
This was a very small cave. It was so small that there was only one stone pillar, which was the pillar that he had been tied on. The cave was only four to five steps wide and six to seven steps long. Anyone who had long arms would be able to stretch to the two ends of the cave.
He finally knew the reason why there was the sound of shovels when the three people were leaving…
The three exhibits were still in the cave. Somehow they hadn’t been refreshed by the game.
With Dugu Hong freed up and the necessary tools, now the remaining question was to which direction should he start digging?
This was not something that can be easily decided. Digging was a labor work. Dugu Hong had to make sure he could find the way out before he consumed all his energy.
Perhaps because it had been a really long time in the cave, Dugu Hong couldn’t find any traces of the cave being covered.
Sitting on the ground and looking around, Dugu Hong began to recall the posts about digging in the forum. He calculated how long his level of satiety could last and how to reasonably allocate his energy on the cave walls…
He never understood “desperation”.
Time passed unconsciously, and gradually, his mind began to be attracted by another thing...
The surroundings in his vision would light up intermittently. That was a very weak and subtle reaction. If it wasn’t that the cave had been completely dark and he had been in the darkness for four years, he wouldn’t have had noticed the dim light.
Although it was only a few seconds, it was real light.
Dugu Hong searched for a long time and didn’t find any external sources of light. He noticed that the light happened every three minutes.
Three minutes...
This was a number that people would easily associate it with some other guesses.
He closed his eyes and started to review internally. He found some new secrets about internal forces…
Everyone knew that when the cycle rotation was not on, one’s internal force was stored in the air sea.
It turned out that this was not the case, or it was not entirely true.
Most of the internal force was indeed stored in the air sea. But there was also a small portion of it was cycling along one’s internal force path nonstop.
There was even a faint and unnoticeable airflow that was flowing throughout the channels all over one’d body.
Obviously, the former one was a by-production of internal cultivation. And the later one was a natural phenomenon of the human body. Moreover, neither of them would lead to enhancement of any attributes.
Dugu Hong still didn’t know that this meant. But he found that when the reserve power was passing through the channel points, his vision was enhanced.
Therefore, it was beneficial to promote eye exercises.
Tianying, Qingming, Sibai, Taiyang, Qizhu, Yuyao, Sizhukong, Tongziliao, Qiuhou, and Chengqi... People in China were all familiar with these channel points.
After an unbearable sting, Dugu Hong’s vision gradually brightened. It looked as if there was a full cover of silver moon light.
"Congratulations to player Dugu, your internal exploration had expanded with vision. The value of adventure +10. The market reputation +50.
It was really dissatisfactory. It seemed that with increasing comprehension skills, the rewards he got were decreasing.
But Dugu Hong no longer wanted to care about this.
He finally knew why he can't find an exit of the cave...
The exit was not on the wall, but on the ground. It hid deep in the corner, where there was a piece of area in a different color.
The game “The martial world” had an amazing simulation system. Three years ago, Zheng Yang, Lei Zhuang and Tian Yuxuan only filled the soil randomly into the cave. Over time, the soil had solidified into hard stones like real.
Holding a rusted broken iron shovel, Dugu Hong struggled to smash into the ground.
An hour later, he dug into the level of wet soil...
This was not a normal situation. The soil beneath the ground was seldom wet. Unless, it was close to an underground dark river.
Could it be his wrong judgement?
He stopped. He only had half of his strength left. He could not afford any mistakes.
Right when he was hesitating, there came an earth-shattering bang from the soil. Though the thick soil had eliminated part of the sound power, it still released heavy energy.
Dugu Hong laughed. He continued slamming his iron shovel and quickly dug through the remaining earth shell. Then a trickle flew through into the cave…
It was a thunder.
His judgement was not wrong. It was raining outside.
This was the fifth summer in the game, a raining season…
