Is there a bug in Chapter 7 of the game?
Luo Feng is fighting monsters.
"Strange" in the literal sense.
Because what stood before him was a giant mutated plant.
That was a tree.
It was impossible to tell what kind of tree it originally was. Its canopy had become extremely dense, and its bark had become as thick as armor. Countless branches and leaves hung down from the branches, waving and attacking Luo Feng relentlessly.
Luo Feng could only use a longsword to defend himself. Generally, monsters of this level require teamwork to defeat, but due to the poor signal on this garbage planet, there were almost no other players in the same star system, so Luo Feng had to fight alone.
Fortunately, he was quite skilled. With just a knife and himself, he worked from day to night, finally managing to wear down the mutated plant to death.
"Hoo..." Luo Feng shook his arms, which were exhausted from the exercise, and put the long swords into his backpack.
It was completely dark. Nighttime in this game world was extremely dangerous, and he had to get back to base immediately.
In this "apocalyptic world," the sky is devoid of moon and stars, and almost no light can be seen. The temperature is also plummeting; the heat waves that rose from the ground during the day have long since dissipated without anyone noticing. Only a dry, hard wind, carrying sand and a bone-chilling cold, sweeps across people's faces.
The wind howled as Luo Feng weaved through the jagged rocks, running towards the base.
"strangeness……"
Luo Feng looked into the distance. "I remember the base should be in this direction..." How come he had walked for so long and still couldn't see the lights of the base?
Lost?
Luo Feng stopped and started to pull the game interface—but it wouldn't budge; the game interface, which usually appeared with a single tap, remained completely unresponsive.
Is it stuck again?
Because the signal on the garbage planet is poor, you sometimes encounter situations where you can't connect to the game. Luo Feng has also encountered this a few times, and usually, you just need to wait patiently for a while until the signal is restored.
With nothing else to do, Luo Feng continued walking. He didn't know how long he had walked until he had gotten used to the darkness and cold, when a glimmer of light appeared before his eyes.
Luo Feng: "!"
base!
He finally found the base!
Luo Feng ran towards the direction where the light was coming from.
However, as the distance shortened, his pace actually slowed down.
Because the color of the light is wrong.
The base lights in this game are all a uniform, bright yellow, in order to provide direction for humans outside.
But the light before him was red and dim. Instead of dispelling the darkness, it stained the surrounding area with a thick, ambiguous crimson, like congealed blood, making him uneasy.
But what's even more unsettling is what follows—
Luo Feng saw a strange house.
That was not any kind of house he had ever seen before:
The dark, somber eaves resembled the outstretched wings of a strange bird, and the copper bells hanging from the corners of the eaves had long since rusted away. Two red lanterns hung on either side of the tightly closed vermilion gate, and the weeds beneath the mottled walls cast large, varying shadows of light and dark in the glow of the red lanterns.
It lay there all alone on this wasteland, its silhouette silhouetted against the thin mist of the night, so out of place with its surroundings.
This is……
Luo Feng slowly frowned.
...New scenarios are open?
He stepped forward.
The outline of the house gradually became clearer. But the closer he got, the more Luo Feng frowned.
Something seems... off.
He clearly felt a bone-chilling cold rise silently from the soles of his feet as he approached the strange house. The temperature dropped to a point where his breath turned to mist, and the wind stopped at some point. All around was silent, and for a moment, the only sound was his own heartbeat, simulated by the holographic game system.
Luo Feng stood before the imposing yet oppressive doorway, pondering whether or not he should knock.
"Squeak—"
A sickening sound rang out. Luo Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the heavy, cracked vermilion door had opened a crack by itself without anyone knocking.
A musty smell of rust and old dust wafted out from the crack, and Luo Feng instinctively stepped back, only to see a hand covered with dark brown age spots reach out from the crack in the door.
The hand slowly pulled the door open, and a hunched figure appeared before Luo Feng.
It was a gaunt old man. He wore a dark blue robe that Luo Feng had never seen before, and his silver hair was neatly combed back. Only his hands and neck were exposed, and he looked very serious and rigid.
He must have been quite old; his face was deeply lined with wrinkles, and his skin, like dried orange peel, clung tightly to his high, protruding cheekbones. His cloudy eyes were sunken in the shadows of his brows.
He stood quietly inside the threshold, holding a red lantern identical to the one hanging in front of the door. The red light flickered gently, casting deep, eerie shadows on the lines of his face.
"Miss, you're back..." the old man said to Luo Feng.
wait?
Miss?
Who?
me?
Luo Feng was utterly stunned.
He even temporarily forgot to be wary of the strange-looking and unsettling old man in front of him, and began to wonder if the old man was just getting old and his eyesight was failing...
After all, he used his real-life appearance when he entered the game, a very standard muscular physique (self-assessment), it's obvious—Holy crap! What's going on?!
Luo Feng stared in horror at his slender hands, frozen in place.
This...this isn't his hand!
Why have his hands suddenly become so small, so white, and so thin?
No, really...
Luo Feng swallowed hard and slowly lowered his head.
"!!!"
How... how did he really turn into a woman?!
Even the combat uniform he was originally wearing, which was provided by the game, was transformed into a floor-length dress that he had never seen before.
Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat.
The game has a bug?!
