Chapter 171: Hunters' Gathering
Everyone came to a beach. From a distance, they saw neatly arranged parasols on the beach, like blooming flowers. Various amusement facilities were available, and colorful swimming rings and surfboards dotted among them, making people feel as if they were in a dreamlike world.
Navia looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! The facilities here are so complete, even the [Fate Check Card] is prepared for me."
Funina came over curiously, blinked her big eyes and asked, "[Fate Check Card]? What is that? It sounds interesting!"
Lini smiled and explained, "The [Fate Check Card] is a card that determines whether a check succeeds or fails. It is usually used when using skills!"
Navia's eyes had long been attracted by the desserts not far away. Those exquisite and tempting cakes, cookies and fruit platters made her drool. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said excitedly: "Are these desserts and teas also available for us to use at will?"
Clorinde smiled and nodded. This answer made everyone cheer. Paimon was so excited that he danced with joy. He wanted to pounce on the delicious snacks and put them all in his pocket. Seeing this, Linny couldn't help but tease Paimon: "Haha, Paimon is more like a snack hunter than the Shadow Hunter!"
Paimon was not to be outdone. She immediately put on a majestic look and gave everyone an impromptu performance: "Snack Hunter Paimon, here! No delicious snacks can slip away from my mouth!" As she spoke, she waved her little hands exaggeratedly, making everyone laugh.
[Barbara: Paimon is getting cuter and cuter
[Paimon: Hehe, Paimon is the cutest in the world! ]
[Funina: This camera movement is amazing. I hope Fontaine can introduce it as well.]
[Klee: No, no, Klee is the cutest in the world]
[System: Theresa, the cutest in the world, biu~]
【Keqing: I say... do you really have to decide who wins and who loses in the cutest contest? 】
[Hu Tao: That’s right, you’re already grown up, Qiqi is the cutest in the world]
【Zhongli: Cough cough cough...】
[Qiqi: Yaoyao, cute]
[Alice: Hahahaha, clown]
...
Clorinde sat on the main seat, her posture was elegant, exuding a kind of majesty and confidence. At the same time, the other four people sat quietly in the seats beside her, their expressions were different, but they all seemed very focused.
It is worth mentioning that Paimon is floating in the air in a light manner, as if ignoring the constraints of gravity. Its big, lively eyes are curiously observing everything around it, and it seems to be full of anticipation for what is about to happen. The atmosphere of the whole scene is serious and mysterious, making people wonder what the purpose of these people gathering here is.
"First, please pick up the blank character cards in front of you and write your name and occupation on them. The simplified rule book is printed on the back of the character card. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. In this scenario, your occupation is [Shadow Hunter], and the club has prepared a small badge for you to represent your identity. In addition, due to your occupation, you are naturally gifted with higher swordsmanship and fighting skill points, so you don't need to invest extra resources."
When Paimon heard about the battle part in the script, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. She knew that she had no fighting ability and was dwarfed by those characters who could show superb swordsmanship on the stage. What's more, she was not very good at acting alone and was more suitable to be someone else's pendant and helper.
Looking at the script in his hand, Paimon sighed helplessly. He had originally hoped to play a special role in this performance, but now it seems that he can only play a minor supporting role. However, since he has accepted this task, Paimon decided to do his best. After all, every role has its value and meaning.
Clorinde smiled and nodded, with a gleam of intelligence in her eyes: "Then let Paimon and the Traveler use the same character card! Shadow Hunter and Elf Assistant."
Navia couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a happy smile on her face. This wonderful idea made her look forward to the upcoming adventure.
Furninna blinked and asked curiously, "So, does the name refer to the name of the character we are going to play?"
Clorinde nodded slightly to show her approval, and encouraged Funina to choose a name according to her own preferences. At this moment, Funina's eyes became bright, and she realized that this was not only a game, but also an opportunity to experience a different life. She could give full play to her imagination and give herself a brand new identity.
Soon, they finished sorting out the relevant matters, including character settings, skill points, etc. Everyone had a deeper understanding of their roles and was ready to meet the next challenge.
...
Before the start, Clorinde said seriously, "Now that everyone's characters have been formed, we can almost get started. But since two of the players are experiencing the tabletop theater for the first time, let me confirm again - do you want to choose [Real Experience] or [Easy Experience]?"
Funina asked in confusion: "What is the difference between the two?"
Clorinde explained: "The plot of [Table Theater] sometimes changes depending on the player's choice and the result of the skill check. For example, if the check fails, you will not be able to use the learned skills smoothly, and [Big Failure] may also cause additional negative situations. If you choose [Real Experience], then every time you use a skill, you will need to use the [Fate Check Card] to check and bear the corresponding consequences."
"Of course, you two can also choose [Easy Experience]. The skill check will be successful by default, so you don't have to worry about regrets due to luck."
Funina thought carefully and decided that if she considered the plot as the most important factor, she should choose [Easy Experience]. She was worried that if she caused trouble for everyone because of a failed test, she would feel very guilty and uneasy.
However, Navia holds a different view. She firmly believes that random numbers are the charm of the table theater! She chose [Real Mode] without hesitation! For her, what will happen in the future is completely unknown, and the excitement brought by this unknown makes her excited!
Funina kept shaking her head, saying she couldn't agree. Perhaps because she had had bad experiences or traumas in the past, she was more inclined to be mentally prepared for what was about to happen. She hoped to understand the possible situations in advance so that she could deal with them better.
