30 -30: What a Cunning Little Girl _1

[Unlocking the Lock Heart Cave: High-level unlocking spell, capable of unlocking all locks in the world.

Physical locks unprotected by magic can be unlocked 100% of the time, while magic locks will be unlocked based on the level of the person who locked it and the level of the unlocking spell, at a certain probability.]

“A high-level spell!?”

Mu You stared in surprise at the text explanation that followed.

This was his first encounter with a genuine high-level spell in the game!

To put it in perspective, low-level spells cost over 100 years of one’s lifespan, mid-level spells require 500 years, going by the same rate, a high-level spell must be worth at least a thousand years!

Trading 10 years of lifespan for a tool worth thousands of years; what a bargain!

The only pity was that the grand prize spell was in the form of a scroll, which needed to be claimed before he could learn it.

And this claiming process itself would exceed five seconds.

In other words, he couldn’t just freeload this spell and immediately rewind time to re-draw the lottery.

Nevertheless, being able to acquire a high-level spell was already a huge gain.

Without being overly greedy, Mu You clicked on ‘Claim Reward’ right away.

[You have successfully claimed your reward and received the ‘Unlocking the Lock Heart Cave Scroll’.]

[You tore open the scroll and learned the high-level spell: Unlocking the Lock Heart Cave!]

As the text popped up, a complex spell was engraved deep in Mu You’s mind.

Once he’d learned the spell, Mu You, eager to try it out, walked to the door, locked it, then pulled out his magic wand and tried the spell on the lock hole.

“Click!”

Upon uttering the spell, the lock sprung open effortlessly, and the door cracked ajar.

Mu You then went downstairs to try the scroll door and glass door locks, both of which popped open without hindrance.

“Seems like it really can unlock all locks in the world, just like what the text describes!”

The game has made it clear that whether it’s a cheap door lock or a high-tech, precision lock on a bank vault, as long as it’s not protected by magic, it’s all the same in the face of this spell – defenseless.

“But how would this work with electronic locks?”

Mu You suddenly pondered this.

Theoretically, electronic devices and various virtual password locks in the network also count as a type of ‘lock’, and it’s impossible for them to be protected by magic.

So, they should also meet the unlocking spell’s requirements.

Mu You immediately took out his phone and waved his wand at the locked screen.

He uttered the spell and in the next moment, the lock screen vanished, leading directly to the phone’s desktop.

“Seriously?”

Mu You was astonished.

This high-level spell really defied expectations!

Suffice to say, with this spell in hand, there would hardly be any place on Earth that could stand in his way!

With the excitement having passed, Mu You calmed down and returned to his room to continue the game.

[After finishing shopping, you leave the old cat store and head for the small path east of the village entrance.]

[You return to the front of the watchman’s cabin.

Do you want to sit inside or continue on your way?]

With nothing to do in the cabin, Mu You clicked on ‘Continue on your way’, intending to explore the surroundings first.

[Leaving the cabin, you walked into the ominous night road of the village.]

[You come across a werewolf squatting in the bushes ahead.]

[The werewolf pounces toward you, you choose to…]

Three options: [Draw an arrow and fight], [Turn and run], [Lie down and play dead].

“Damn it, this bastard werewolf is ambushing me!”

Mu You muttered under his breath.

The werewolf indeed began targeting him, and he was squatting near his house, ready to antagonize him, such a low blow!

Of the three options, the first two were definitely out of question.

Previously, he couldn’t even defeat an injured werewolf, let alone one in peak condition now!

Moreover, this time he didn’t have a poisonous apple, so killing this werewolf in return was simply impossible.

However, Mu You didn’t give up.

He decisively chose the third option: play dead!

He might not have the poisonous apple, but the werewolf didn’t know that!

This werewolf, like him, was a player whose perspective was extremely limited, only able to gather very limited information through snippets of the game’s text.

When Mu You chose to fall down and play dead, the text that the werewolf got was probably just ‘fell to the ground dead’.

Now, whether he was pretending to be dead or had really committed suicide by poison, it would all come down to guesswork!

If it guessed right, good.

If it guessed wrong, then it would be throwing away ten years of its life!

Now, Mu You was betting that this werewolf would not dare to bite him!

And as it turned out, he won the bet!

[The werewolf saw you lying on the ground motionless, hesitated for a long time, and in the end, didn’t dare to come forward and tear at your corpse!]

[The werewolf silently walked away and you survived!]

“Heh, idiot!”

Mu You sneered and quickly made his character run away, as he gleefully triumphed over the werewolf, fearful that it might return. freёwebnoѵel.com

“But constantly playing possum like this is not a solution, the werewolf will soon catch on after being fooled a couple of times.

I still need to find some real poison as a self-defense measure, and fast”, thought Mu You.

He was different from the werewolf, who faced his acting dead and could only guess whether to bite or not.

Mu You had a pocket watch that could turn time, allowing him to first see into the future for the werewolf’s choice, then turn back time to decide whether or not to eat the poison.

So, in terms of a test of wits and courage within the game, he could definitely play the werewolf to death — of course, only if he actually had poison.

[You continue forward, passing through the brush ahead, and arrive at a square.]

[This is the square where the villagers hold their meetings.

All the village’s daily decisions are made here.]

[In the middle of the square, there is a rusty clock.

By ringing it, you can summon all the villagers here, but only the village chief has the right to ring the clock.]

He found a square in the game that could gather all the villagers, but only the village chief can ring the bell to assemble everyone.

Mu You suddenly thought about the badge that the hunter gave him.

By using the badge, he should be able to get the village chief’s help to gather everyone, right?

However, gathering everyone now seems to be of no use.

The werewolf can switch skins to a villager at any time, remain concealed, and he still won’t be able to recognize it.

[You enter the square and suddenly see a little girl partially lying on the ground in front of you!]

[This little girl is wearing a wizard hat and a wizard robe, clearly a wizard’s apprentice.

There are traces of blood on her right leg as if she had been injured and could not move.]

[The weak little girl beckons you, asking for your help, you choose…]

Three options: [Go over and help her], [Ignore her], or [Draw a dagger and attack her].

“Oh?” Mu You was taken aback, having encountered a new character in the game.

He was about to go over and make a friend, but suddenly a line of text popped up.

[You cautiously approach a few steps, lift up the pumpkin lantern, and try to get a better look at the situation.]

[The gentle glow from the pumpkin lantern reveals details hard to see with the naked eye: the distribution of blood on the girl’s leg doesn’t look like an injury, but rather like a forged wound and fake blood.

The little girl has her right hand hidden behind her back.

It seems that she’s holding something.

Through the reflection on the ground, you can vaguely see a dagger with a cold gleam!]

“What the hell!”

Mu You thought to himself, what kind of dark-minded little girl is this, doing harm at such a young age when she can be doing something worthwhile?

Luckily, he had the pumpkin lantern, otherwise, he would have been duped!

Wait a minute…could this be the werewolf from before?

Mu You suddenly realized.

Could it be that the werewolf, realizing it couldn’t kill him while in its wolf form, decided to switch to a villager’s skin to try and trick him into getting closer so it could attack him?

If not, since they were all villagers, why would they harm each other?
