Chapter 69

Lu Miao always felt that the symbols on the wall seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where exactly he saw them.

It’s not surprising that he couldn’t remember it. The main reason is that in the interstellar era, people’s lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. Different languages ​​can no longer hinder communication. The intelligent brain of interstellar humans can process all languages. Anyone who communicates face to face can communicate in their own way.

What they hear in their ears is their own mother tongue, and the words they see are automatically translated into content they are familiar with in their minds.

In such an environment, interstellar humans do not have to work hard to learn the languages ​​​​of other races or countries. Lu Miao can feel that these symbols are familiar, which is already better than most interstellar humans.

But in this case, the symbol in front of you is probably pointing to the method of clearing the level, and it is definitely not enough to be familiar.

Moreover, Lu Miao was not sure whether the symbol in front of him looked familiar because he had seen it in real life or in the game "Ideal Town".

Of course, in a game like this based on "Ideal Town", it is most likely the latter.

Lu Miao plays the role of an NPC in "Ideal Town". Many modules that players need to unlock bit by bit through missions are completely unlocked in his case, including the languages ​​and texts of various races.

Once the language in "Ideal Town" is unlocked, just like life in the interstellar reality, it will automatically be converted into words and languages ​​that Lu Miao knows.

So Lu Miao recalled for a long time, and then rummaged through the corner of his memory to find words similar to these symbols——

Junimoyu.

If Lu Miao remembers correctly, these words, which look like children's drawings and are composed of semicircles and matchstick-like line segments, should be those in "Ideal Town" who live in abandoned houses and often kindly help the town.

The language of residents and players—a group of cute, chubby creatures.

The first place where the Junimo language appears is in the community center of the town. Players need to find a wizard and learn the corresponding language before they can be unlocked.

Because when they first discovered the note left by Junimo, the players had not yet unlocked the corresponding language. They had to wait until the next day to ask the wizard before they could learn it. There are often screenshots of new players asking about this language on the forum.

The unlocking strategy, so Lu Miao is quite familiar with this language.

But that's all.

That note only appeared once. Not to mention that Lu Miao was an NPC at the time. Even players, few would pay attention to the translated note, let alone study the words specifically.

From this point of view, apart from knowing the origin of this language, Lu Miao has no more advantages than others.

How can you decipher the meaning of a language without knowing it at all?

An ordinary person might have been so frustrated that he gave up when faced with this situation, but Lu Miao was never a person who gave up easily.

After his family was ruined and he learned that he suffered from a genetic disease that could not be cured in the interstellar era, he still relied on being an NPC in "Ideal Town" to continue his life for such a long time. If "Ideal Town" hadn't stopped

After the server collapsed, he suddenly couldn't find any meaning to support his life. Lu Miao may continue to live in the virtual world like this.

Reality is a truly desperate world. Where does this current difficulty come from?

Lu Miao had already explored the entire wall of the floor. There was no need to continue acting in front of Qiu Tianhao. He returned to his bed, closed his eyes and rested, while thinking about the meaning of the Junimo language on the wall.

He remembered that the Junimos first appeared in the community center of the town.

The community center is a large house that has been abandoned for a long time. The Junimos built a red brick hut in the corner of the lobby of the community center and lived in it. The Junimos have the magic to repair items. Players only need to bring

With the materials they need, they can restore the community center to its original appearance bit by bit.

During this period, the communication between the player and Junimo was very simple. Basically, Junimo told the player what materials they needed, and the player went to find them. After Junimo repaired the items, he thanked the player for their help, and then prompted the next step.

Required items.

This is a very simple race. In the later stages of the game, after the community center is repaired, players can learn about the legend of Junimos in another town. They can also unlock the hiring function and invite Junimos to build on their own farms.

Hut and help yourself harvest crops.

In "Ideal Town", Junimos are just like Louis in this game. They are NPCs that exist solely to help players complete tasks, and they don't even have names.

The language they use is also very concise. Because Junimos have telepathy with each other, they don't actually need too many tools to communicate with each other. Language and text are only needed when communicating with players, and most of those languages ​​​​and text

Points to various materials in "Ideal Town".

-Then the problem arises, they are now in the magic tower, which was originally the residence of wizards and occasionally housed ordinary humans, but has now been transformed into a prison of despair.

When the material platform reached the lower level, there was nothing left. This was exactly the opposite of the conclusion Lu Miao had deduced before: "The lower the level, the higher the chance of escape for wizards." Therefore, in Junimo's message, escape from the tower.

The key must not be related to materials.

Lu Miao turned over and stared at the ceiling, breathing steadily but his mind was running rapidly.

In Junimo's language, apart from supplies, there are only words used for daily communication, such as "Hello", "Thank you", etc. These meaningless polite words will obviously not leave messages on the wall.

So Lu Miaodi-time eliminated it.

Apart from that, what else is left?

To escape a place, the message on the wall is either a direction or a verb.

Junimo's nature is gentle and kind, and there are almost no violent words in his language. Even though many materials require players to obtain them by killing monsters, the description of Junimo also refers to "obtain" and "obtain" - neutral words.

.

And if it is a locative word, refer to the word creation history of various races of humans in the interstellar world. In the early days of a civilization, most people would choose to draw pictures to express their meaning. Later, they developed into pictographs...

Another 10 minutes passed, and the red light appeared again.

Lu Miao opened his eyes and scanned the wall on his side. He found that the pattern that he could see clearly before had become much blurred, leaving only a few intermittent lines. When he looked to the other side, he could not see it either.

Clear the Junimo words on the wall.

It seems that only by standing at a specific position and height can one clearly see the message left by Junimo.

However, this did not cause much hindrance to Lu Miao. He recalled the shapes of the words he had memorized. After substituting the image of Junimo into it, a group of people working hard to stretch their round slime-like bodies soon appeared in front of him.

Junimo was waving his matchstick-like limbs and gesticulating at him.

The Junimos tried their best, but the size limit was too great. The few movements that Lu Miaowei could understand were probably "head", "look", "down", "turn in circles" and finally

Pointing his finger down.

It is difficult to judge other actions for the time being. Lu Miao only focused on two actions with clear instructions, "look", "down", look down?

There must be no breakthrough in the room. Otherwise, with the crazy energy of the wizards to kill each other, they would have dug deep into the ground to find a way to escape and escaped directly.

In the entire magic tower, the only thing that can move up and down is probably the material platform.

Did Junimo mean for him to look down the passage?

A picture suddenly flashed through Lu Miao's mind - on the first day, when the material platform was about to descend to the lower level, he saw the blurry outline of a bloody humanoid under the dining table.

He felt very strange at the time. The people at the top had enough food, but the material platform only stayed for 10 minutes, and they might not even have time to swallow. How could they waste time and kill people when the material platform arrived?

Today, when the supplies platform arrived, Lu Miao calmly looked under the dining table and found that there were still blood stains.

The range of these bloodstains is not large. The blood is basically attached to the bottom of the table and the ground made of special materials. In addition, the color of the bottom of the table and the ground is very dark, as if old bloodstains have solidified on it.

The light on the lower floor was too dark. If Lu Miao hadn't accidentally touched it, he wouldn't have noticed there was blood underneath.

But Lu Miao still noticed with sharp eyes that the blood stains were wrong.

He deliberately reached out and touched the armrest on the first day. It was very dry under the table. There was no blood or dried blood clots at all.

The bottom of the table was clean and fresh. When the table was lowered, he touched the side and found blood stains on the other side of the table, in the middle of the two rooms.

Because the dining table was in the shape of a long strip, there was no theory that the tabletop had been rotated, so Lu Miao did not find any blood stains.

But he wasn't sure whether the lower-level wizards couldn't bear the hunger and found the blood that hadn't completely dried under the table and ate it.

In order to verify whether this was the reason, Lu Miao stayed awake.

Five hours later, the material platform finally reached the bottom and then slowly began to rise.

In a 100-story tower, it takes 16 hours and 40 minutes for the material platform to start from the top and descend to the bottom, but it only takes 20 minutes to climb back up.

The material platform will continue to make noise during its movement. The noise pollution lasts for 17 consecutive hours. The wizards imprisoned in it will not be able to sleep peacefully if they are mentally weak.

The material platform arrives and leaves on time every day, just like pulling meat with a dull knife, wearing down the spirit of the wizards bit by bit.

However, for Lu Miao, this level of mental torture is not too difficult, especially when he has an idea that needs to be verified. The sound of metal friction during the movement of the material platform becomes a sound to him.

A sound similar to a ticking clock.

It allows him to grasp the flow of time very well.

Finally, the supplies platform reached Lu Miao's floor. He no longer worried about Qiu Tianhao upstairs, got up and walked quickly to the supplies platform, reaching out and touching the bottom of the table.

He first tentatively touched the place where he felt the blood yesterday, and it was dry. Then he reached to the side and touched the place where he felt the blood today.

It's wet.

Upstairs, the sound of Qiu Tianhao turning the pages of a book stopped for a moment. Lu Miao put the food in his other hand on the material platform without changing his expression. Louis followed closely, taking advantage of the material platform to pass through the 67th floor.

In a few seconds, he quickly placed the remaining food on top.

Lu Miao tapped the wall with his finger: "It's time for dinner upstairs."

As he spoke, he smeared the blood onto the wall. The dark red blood quickly blended into the wall in the darkness, and the difference was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Qiu Tianhao just raised his eyes to look down when his eyes were attracted by his roommate.

His roommate is a very cowardly wizard. Because the difference in strength is too big, he has never had any sense of existence. Even when the wizard upstairs cursed Lu Miao for not giving him food, he did not participate and stayed there honestly.

On his bed, he was afraid that if something went wrong, Qiu Tianhao would mistakenly think that he was going to attack him and kill him directly.

When the supplies platform arrived, he didn't even dare to let go of his arms and eat the unknown scraps on the table.
