Chapter 1902: Chapter 1902: Time-Sensitive Instrument
"I don’t know for now either." Xu Huo stood up wearily and asked, "Did you try to call for help from the outside world?"
Rodz’s expression remained unchanged, "We came from out of town, and couldn’t quickly get in touch with people who could help. What about you?"
Xu Huo indicated that his situation was similar, feeling somewhat surprised that these people were so stubborn, having dragged on for so long without seeking help from their families.
"Have you seen anyone else?" he asked.
Rodz sighed and said, "There were a few companions when we entered, but once the door was opened, we were forced to separate. The further we walked, the less clear it became where we ended up, contact is possible but exact locations are unclear."
"You’re lucky, you have a few companions." Xu Huo said, "I’m alone, not even anyone to ask for help."
"Are you also from an outer district?" Rodz said with a calm expression, "Do you have any thoughts now?"
Xu Huo pondered for a moment and said, "I feel like everything here is sealed by space, after a few courtyards, you can’t turn back. The space keeps changing, and for now, I only know there are four types of rooms continuously cycling, haven’t figured out anything else yet."
After speaking, he glanced at the other party, clearly waiting for his clarification.
A slight emotion flickered in Rodz’s eyes, but he still said, "I think this should be an unfinished time-based instance."
"Time-based instance?" Xu Huo asked in surprise, "What does unfinished mean? Is it an ownerless instance?"
Rodz looked him up and down, "Judging by your appearance, you should be a Rank-C Player, the focus isn’t on ownerless instances, taking the instance is not something we should even think about."
Xu Huo waved his hands repeatedly, "That’s not what I meant, aren’t instances naturally formed? Can unfinished instances also become instances?"
"Most instances are naturally formed, but they also need conditions to form. Some have special venues, some have given birth to peculiar props, or stories significant enough to create an instance. Special venues can be artificially made, skilled players can use their knowledge to create places comparable to instance venues. This place should be similar, the reason it’s said to be unfinished is because it doesn’t have a formal Instance Authorization Document and isn’t under player jurisdiction."
Rodz generously explained it once, but it’s certain that this is an unfinished instance because it’s a residence of a Super Player, creating such a complex environment would be no problem for them.
"Can an unfinished instance still trap people?" Xu Huo said, "I’ve tried several tickets just now, and couldn’t get out."
After a pause, Rodz said, "For skilled players, creating a special space within a space to complete their instances isn’t difficult. As you mentioned, there’s space sealing everywhere here."
Good guy, turns out it’s a guess too.
Mentioning container props sounds even better.
But his conjecture makes sense, since the venue is filled with Time Force, it’s likely a Super Player created this instance. If it’s an instance, it definitely wouldn’t be a random one because there are Super Dungeons in Zone 011, random instances can’t open here. If it were a fixed instance, maybe the Super Player has privileges outsiders don’t know about, possibly restricting the issuance of tickets, and if luck is worse, this might as well be the venue of a Super Dungeon.
However, this can all be set aside, the important thing is how to get out.
"Are you a Super Evolver?" He slowed down his tone and asked, "I’ve heard there aren’t many Time-Directed Super Evolvers."
Rodz slightly smiled and didn’t answer the question.
Xu Huo saw him pretending to be deep and then said worriedly, "In that case, unless the person who created this instance venue returns, we absolutely can’t get out?"
"Someone capable of creating a time-based instance must be highly skilled, and staying here means not only missing the next instance, but whether the returning person will show mercy to us is also questionable."
Rodz was clearly also concerned about this issue, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where did you come from just now?"
Xu Huo pointed to the right.
Rodz immediately said, "You must have reached the third courtyard, if you open another door, the space behind the door will likely change, right?"
Xu Huo nodded and replied, "Do you want me to open your door?"
Rodz took a deep breath, "Are you silly? Closing the door and opening it again wouldn’t lead to the room I’m in, didn’t I just tell you, my companions and I walked through the same door but didn’t meet, this venue surely has specific restrictions for this."
"How about this, you open the door I can see."
He continued, "I’ll open doors straight ahead and see if there’s anything different behind them."
Actually, there’s no noticeable difference, because reopening doors would definitely change the room Xu Huo is in, and the courtyard he’s in is essentially part of the courtyard Rodz has passed through, unless the venue counts the isolated room’s courtyard as the first courtyard after isolating personnel.
Xu Huo opened the door directly across from Rodz, behind it transformed into a dining hall filled with delicacies.
Rodz glanced around, took out a round instrument and tested various doors, his expression somewhat helpless, he had to walk out of the room to the opposite door, in fact, he only opened one door, and the room’s setup changed.
"This isn’t right, I’ve only walked through two courtyards." He looked back in confusion, and upon seeing Xu Huo standing at the doorway, suddenly deflated, "Turns out the courtyards that couldn’t be entered were also counted."
Standing at the doorway, Xu Huo could see the newly opened room opposite, a dining hall marked "1".
It was just the same type but at a different time.
"Forget it, no use being anxious." Sitting in the middle of the courtyard, he said, "Why not take a break, haven’t eaten anything for so long."
Rodz was also feeling tired, he simply rested against the bed.
Xu Huo took out some jerky given by people from Zone 010 earlier and began eating, watching the instrument placed on Rodz’s chest intently, before asking when the other noticed his gaze, "Is that a time-related item?"
Rodz glanced at him, "You’ve never seen one, have you? This is a Time-Sensitive Instrument."
"The circulation rate of Time-Sensitive Instruments in the game is low, let alone time-related items, those are rare and valuable props. This is only a sensing instrument, with a slightly special secondary stone on the pointer, reacting to Time Force."
"The stronger the Time Force, the more the pointer sinks."
Xu Huo looked carefully, "Like an old-fashioned thermometer, all these rooms look the same, aren’t the Time Forces in them identical?"
Rodz laughed, "You couldn’t mold two identical clay figures even if you tried, Time Force is precise control, who’s confident they can use it without any deviation?"
