"The boundary in the watchman's room is very special. It can only be opened between nine and twelve o'clock every morning. The way to open the door is to say the secret code to the face on the wooden door, 'If you don't open the door, poke it.

Blind you'!"]

Mu Youxin said that this was the code for 'violent break-in', and silently pressed her pocket watch.

[As time goes by, your lost fifty years of life are completely restored, and you are back to where you were before the last option.]

[The scarecrow's eyes are still flashing with greed, and he asks you in a seductive voice: "Do you want to pay 50 years of life immediately and get the lock..."]

"No!"

Scarecrow:???

[You interrupted the Scarecrow’s proposal, and the excitement in Scarecrow’s button eyes turned into confusion: “Adventurer, are you sure you don’t need to buy a lock-picking method? Buying it now only requires forty years of life! Adventurer, I know you are tempted.

Well, then, it’s better to do it than to do it..."]

"I said 'no'!"

[You firmly chose No again, interrupting the scarecrow’s sales pitch again.]

[You saw the scarecrow began to sweat faintly on its forehead, and it forced out a dry smile: "Okay adventurer, I will take a step back. I only need thirty years of life to tell you how to unlock the lock. In addition, I must

I would like to solemnly remind you that without my unlocking method, no one can enter the house of the watchman, yes, anyone! You'd better think clearly..."]

"Haha, I'll come back tomorrow."

After Muyou clicked No this time, he clicked 'Leave Directly' on the next menu.

[Under the watchman’s resentful eyes, you left the entrance of the village and walked towards the interior of the village.]

[The roads in Anning Village are winding and complicated. This is your first time coming and you are not familiar with the architectural layout of the village. Three roads appear in front of you, leading to the east, west, and south. Which direction do you choose?]

Three options [East] [South] [West].

The watchman's residence is at the east end of the village, so you must choose to go east here.

However, Mu You did not choose Dong directly, but tried the other two paths first.

【You chose the road to the west.】

[After walking forward for a while, a canteen appears in front of you.]

[This is a restaurant opened by a village chef. It sells some simple magic food, which can replenish your magic power and physical strength. If you are hungry, you can go in and eat something - provided you are willing to pay for your lifespan.]

A canteen that can replenish magic power and physical strength. The "physical strength" here, Mu You probably refers to mobility. In other words, mobility in the game can indeed be restored by other means.

But even so, Mu You will definitely not go in here to eat. After all, magic power and mobility are things that can be recovered by time. It is not cost-effective to focus on life recovery.

[You went back in time and returned to the intersection just now.]

【This time you chose to take the south road.】

[After walking forward for a while, you see an iron forge emitting steam, standing in the snow ahead. This is a blacksmith shop run by a bearded dwarf. The dwarves are obsessed with forging and have superb skills.

Forging craftsmanship, if you have equipment you want to build, you can bring the raw materials here. Even if it is scrap iron, the dwarf blacksmith can help you turn waste into treasure--of course, the premise is that you are willing to pay the lifespan!]

"So to the west of the village entrance is the canteen to supplement mobility, and to the south is the blacksmith shop for making equipment."

Mu You pressed his pocket watch and retraced the time, then found a piece of white paper and drew the relative positions of the village entrance, canteen, and blacksmith shop on the paper.

This village seems to be designed exactly like a real town. Since there is a canteen and a blacksmith shop, there must be various other shops that meet the daily necessities of life.

But what troubles Mu You is that after playing this game for two days, all the options he has encountered are consuming his lifespan. Being killed requires lifespan, buying things requires lifespan, and even asking questions requires paying lifespan...

In this world, life seems to be the most basic currency.

The problem is - he hasn't found any way to extend his lifespan so far!

Even if his time pocket watch can greatly slow down the consumption of his lifespan, sooner or later he will run out of time...

No matter what, the problem of lifespan is definitely unsolvable in reality, and we can only find a solution in the game. Muyou shook his head and continued the game.

[Looking back in time, you are back at the intersection at the head of the village again.]

【This time, you chose the path to the east.】

[You have been exploring eastward along the periphery of the village for a long time, and finally arrived at the east end of the village.]

[This place is close to the edge of the village, and there are few people nearby. There is only a dilapidated wooden house, standing alone among the trees in front. Since the owner of the wooden house has died, it has now become an ownerless cabin.]
p>

[Do you want to enter the ‘Watchman’s Cabin?’]

It actually arrived in one go!

It seems that the village gate is not far from the east end of the village.

Muyou tried it first and clicked ‘Enter’.

[You walk to the front door of the wooden house and want to push the door in, but are bounced away by the barrier of the wooden house.]

[On the door of the wooden house, a twisted and ferocious pumpkin face quietly appears. It stares at you and says: "Except for the owner of the room, any stranger who wants to enter the wooden house must speak the correct code at the right time!"

”]

Another input box pops up immediately below the text.

"This is also a dual unlocking function with facial recognition and password..."

Mu You sighed at the magic of this 'magic lock' and looked up at the time.

9:12 am.

According to the Scarecrow, this wooden house must be opened between nine and twelve o'clock every morning. If the time in the two worlds corresponds, now it just meets the requirements.

Muyou entered 'I'll poke your eyes out if you don't open the door' in the text box and clicked send.

[You said the correct password, the pumpkin face disappeared in a burst of distortion, and the dusty door slowly opened to you.]

"So the time in the two worlds really corresponds?"

Mu You nodded and clicked 'Enter'.

【You have entered the watchman's cabin.】

[This is a house made of cypress wood. Because it has been vacant for a long time, the air in the house is filled with the smell of rotten and moldy wood. The floor and the few pieces of furniture are covered with a thin layer of dust. The windows

The doors and panels show a dilapidated and eerie color, looking more like a haunted house.]

[You have explored this dilapidated wooden house and finally gained something.]

[You have obtained a ‘Watchman’s Pumpkin’ Lantern’, a ‘Watchman’s Backpack’, and a set of ‘Watchman’s Skin’.]

"Good guy?"

Mu You's eyes lit up.
