"Hey, mom, you and dad..."

"Hmm, okay, son, your parents are very busy and can't come back for the time being, but we have hired a doctor for you. Dr. Brandon is a world-class authority in the field of psychology. You..."

"Mom, I'm really not sick...forget it, just remember what I said."

in the room.

Li Guanqi sat on the bed, hung up the phone, turned it over in his hand, and kept thinking.

His parents have been running businesses abroad all year round, and they are both exemplary cases of retired athletes turning into entrepreneurs.

He had just made several calls to his parents, constantly talking about the strange world, and also told them the conditions for clearing [The Sorcerer's Apprentice].

After all, he doesn't know if one of the selected 1% of humanity in the world will have his own parents.

I don’t even know how fast the simulator said that the strange world will come “soon”.

One hour?

one day?

totally no idea.

So I can only tell my parents about the normal customs clearance conditions first.

The normal ending of the level is to learn the spells from the old man in black robe, then wait for him to die and then complete the level.

However, because Li Guanqi received the talent of [Tongyou (Purple)] at the beginning and his qualifications as a spellcaster were too high, the old man in black robe was unwilling to die, so he did not unlock this normal ending.

Three endings.

【Choice of Sand Sculpture】

【Changsheng and Disciple】

[Master, let me fulfill your long-cherished wish]

None of them are normal endings.

After unlocking the perfect ending, the simulation is closed.

However, from the introduction of the second ending [Eternal Life and Disciple], it can be easily deduced that the normal ending is to become a disciple normally and wait for the old man in black robe to die.

Li Guanqi also told his parents the conditions for passing the normal ending.

And the results are certainly not surprising.

Even his biological parents thought he was mentally ill and even called a doctor for him within a few minutes. The efficiency was simply astonishing...

"The weird world around the world is opening!"

Suddenly, a cold mechanical female voice sounded in Li Guanqi's ears, interrupting his thoughts.

Li Guanqi was slightly startled.

It turns out that the arrival "soon" mentioned by the simulator is so fast!

It took less than ten minutes after coming out of the simulator!

"Didi... lack of energy... the number of people participating in the world dungeon has decreased..."

"One percent of the world's population will be randomly selected and immediately participate in the strange world copy."

"brush--"

A flash of white light flashed, and Li Guanqi disappeared instantly.

The room was empty, except for the light blue curtains that were blown up by the wind and fluttering constantly, and there was a steady drizzle in the city outside.

…

…

When Li Guanqi regained consciousness again, he felt that he was sitting on a chair and his hands were tied.

He did not open his eyes, because in the dark "perspective" when he closed his eyes, there was a line of small words suspended in the upper right corner that seemed a little secret, and could easily be ignored if you didn't pay attention:

[In the current strange world, the number of extraordinary people surviving: 102,620,357 (approximately 100 million).]

Li Guanqi remembered that since last year, the global population has exceeded 10 billion, so one percent of the candidates are almost 100 million extraordinary beings.

"Dong dong dong..."

At this time, a burst of footsteps came from far away, accompanied by a "squeaking" sound like stepping on a rotten floor.

Soon, Li Guanqi felt someone sitting opposite him.

Immediately afterwards, a hoarse and deep old man's voice sounded:

"Want to be my apprentice?"

That's it.

Li Guanqi lowered his head and smiled softly, then opened his eyes.

In the darkness, the first thing that caught his eye was a rotten, cracked table with green mold spots.

And what he was wearing at this time was no longer a brand-name sportswear, but a set of gray coarse linen robes.

Li Guanqi raised his head.

Sitting across the table was an extremely thin figure, covered in black robes and wearing a hood.

Li Guanqi could only barely tell from the faint yellow firelight around him that the person under the hood should be an old man's face. He thought that the hoarse voice just now also came from this person.

But this person is too small.

The head is big, the body is small, the limbs are very short, and it looks a little deformed.

The height of the old man in black robe was like that of a seven or eight-year-old child. Although he was sitting on a chair, Li Guanqi judged that the height of the old man was not more than 1.2m.

Dwarfism?

Li Guanqi thought secretly.

According to the situation during the simulation, it is obvious that this guy is the "old man in black robe", so this old man in black robe is actually a dwarf patient.

But it's nothing to be alarmed about.

The most important thing is that the "old man in black robe" has little patience.

Li Guanqi raised his head directly, looked at the black-robed dwarf opposite, and said seriously: "Yes, I want to become your disciple!"

"Then choose one."

The empty right hand of the black-robed dwarf brushed over the long table covered with mold, and then two dark brown wooden bowls appeared out of thin air on the table.

Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

Wooden bowl?

Why a wooden bowl?

This is different from the cup in the simulation!

Although this difference seems innocuous, the discrepancy between simulation and reality still sounded the alarm for Li Guanqi.

Simulation is simulation, reality is reality.

It turns out it will be different!

Still need to be careful.

Li Guanqi's eyes were slightly focused, and he could barely see clearly the contents of the two wooden bowls with the faint yellow firelight around him.

In the wooden bowl on the left, there are strips of plump and juicy white maggots, which are twisting and turning in the bowl, as if telling Li Guanqi, I am delicious, come and eat... yue!

Li Guanqi looked ugly, holding back the sour water in his stomach and suppressing the desire to vomit.

Dry!

No wonder he vomited during the simulation.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath and suppressed his talent for immersion. After all, he didn't want to listen to the inferior thoughts of maggots.

He turned to look at the wooden bowl on the right.

As in the simulation, the right side is more heavyweight than the left side.

It contained not only black bed bugs, but also many long roundworms, as well as a large number of colorful and weird bugs that constantly spit out disgusting mucus. The mucus almost turned the wooden bowl into bug soup.

"Choose a bowl and eat it."

As the old dwarf in black robe spoke, the rope on Li Guanqi automatically fell off and fell to the ground.

But Li Guanqi has "died" many times in the simulator.

You cannot eat any of these two bowls of worms. No matter which bowl you eat, you will be killed by this old thing that is not a human being.

so……

"I won't eat any bowl."

Li Guanqi put his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers and put them in front of his mouth, with a solemn expression.
