Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 262 Harvest from two worlds and heading to the new world

A few nights ago.

"Prophecy...!?" Li You looked at Xiaopa with obvious surprise on his face.

Xiaopa said: "Yes, a prophecy. And it was a prophecy conveyed by the priestess of the Delphi Temple. That is, the two of us brothers will defeat the huge beast and save the princess."

Li You asked: "Isn't that great?"

He didn't wonder why the prophecy was so specific. Most prophecies in Greek mythology were like this.

But a bitter smile appeared on Xiao Pa's face: "It's not over yet. The second half of the prophecy also said that although we will complete such a great cause, in the end only one person can return from this adventure and bring back the princess. "

Li You was stunned: "It means..."

Xiao Pa nodded: "Deimos and I can only go back alone in the end."

The two were silent for a moment.

After a long while, Li You looked at Xiaopa and asked, "Then why are you telling me this?"

"…Because we met you and became companions with you." Xiao Pa replied, "You are all very powerful people. I think the next Behemoth will not be our opponent."

“But the prophecy cannot be broken, and trying to fight it will only bring greater disaster, as the story of Oedipus King has proved everything.

"So, Deimos and I also have a consensus. If we are still there at the last moment, then he and I will use swords to decide the outcome."

Li You's mouth twitched: "...Why else would I hate the goddess of fate in Greece?"

He asked Xiao Pa: "So you hope that if this time comes, I won't stop you?"

Xiao Pa nodded: "You are an outsider and don't understand the absoluteness of fate, so I hope you can at least stand by and watch."

Li You stared at him for a while and then said, "Okay, I will consider it."

"--please."

……

Time returns to the present.

With a crisp cracking sound, a sword blade circled twice in mid-air and inserted into the ground.

Xiao Pa stood quietly, the hand holding the broken sword relaxed and lowered, and closed his eyes. Xiao De put the sword on his neck with a straight face, but couldn't stop his hands from shaking.

"...Let's do it." Xiao Pa's voice sounded calm, but extremely hoarse.

Xiaode's hand trembled even more, but he couldn't swing the sword.

The princess who was still tied up on the side became impatient: "If you win, do it quickly! How long do you want me to wait?"

Xiao Pa opened his eyes, frowned, and was about to meet the sword's edge, but at this moment, a exclamation suddenly came from the other side:

"ah--!"

The voice was clear and sweet, and both brothers were familiar with it. It was the voice of the princess. So they all turned their heads to look.

On the other side, Li You untied the rope that bound the princess and helped her walk down.

The princess first screamed in surprise, and then her face was full of joy: "Are you willing to send me back? Don't worry, everything my father promised will be fulfilled!"

Xiaode and Xiaopa looked at Li You in surprise, wondering what he was going to do.

As for Li You, he looked at the system panel and after confirming that the main task completion prompt had popped up, he showed a kind smile to the princess.

"——Fuck you!"

"Snapped--!"

Li You slapped the princess on the face, using just the right amount of force to ensure that he could slap her away without hitting her to death with too much force... Whether she would suffer a concussion is another matter.

Xiao De and Xiao Pa: "????"

"Li You, what are you doing, Li You!?"

Li You exhaled heavily, feeling finally at ease.

Xiaode and Xiaopa ran over, looked at Li You, and then at the princess on the ground. They didn't know who to look for first.

Fortunately, Aggie came to the side to help. She came up and grabbed one of the princess's legs and dragged her aside to check the injury, leaving space for the brothers.

Xiaopa looked at Li You and asked, "What are you..."

Li You looked very happy: "Ah? I didn't interrupt your duel, did I? What's wrong?"

Brothers: "..."

Xiao Pa couldn't hold back: "You didn't intervene directly, but..."

"Only one person can bring back the princess, right?" Li You suddenly asked.

"…Um?"

"I mean, the prophecy about your brothers says that only one of you can take the princess back, right?"

The brothers nodded.

"Did you say that one of you must die?"

The brothers looked at each other.

"Maybe not?"

Li You clapped his hands: "Isn't that okay? Can't you just leave one person here?"

Both of them were stunned: "...Can it still be like this?"

"Why not?" Li You asked back, "You did not violate the prophecy, rather you fulfilled the prophecy perfectly. Defeated the giant beast, rescued the princess, and brought her back alone. Isn't this perfect? ​​The prophecy did not Said you would kill each other!"

"Ah this..."

Xiao Pa couldn't laugh or cry: "Li You, you don't understand. The thread of fate between me and Deimos is intertwined, and after this time, there should only be one thread left - this is what the oracle showed. So even if The prophecy didn't say that only one of us would survive, but that's what happened."

But Li You smiled again: "I know, so I haven't finished speaking yet."

He took out the golden lion's head hammer, slammed it on the ground, and said, "There is a soul sleeping in this hammer, which was awakened during the battle with Behemoth just now. Who do you think he is?"

The two brothers were very confused: "Who?"

"I don't know either." Li You said confidently.

Two brothers: "..."

"However," Li You continued, "he didn't tell me his name, but he claimed to be the priest who was originally responsible for managing this land and the chief priest of the goddess Hecate."

"He has taken a fancy to the two of you and wants to choose one person to inherit his mantle. But the price is that the line of that person's destiny will be hidden, and he will be like death, and he will not be able to leave this land again."

The two brothers were stunned at first, and then they all looked surprised: "Is this true!?"

Li You smiled and said, "Of course."

He poured his divine power into the sledgehammer, and the lion's eyes on the hammer's head lit up, and a shadow of a male lion emerged.

It looked down at the two brothers and said: "I heard what you said. If one of you two inherits my position, the problem will be solved. What do you think?"

Xiaopa thought for a moment and asked Li You: "Is what this... said true?"

Li You replied: "When it comes to the great goddess, what he said will not be false. I can also tell it from his mental fluctuations."

The two brothers looked at each other again and already made their decision.

Xiaopa took a step forward: "Then, I'll do it."

"Okay!" The lion phantom laughed, "I just like you!"

As it spoke, it fluttered in mid-air and turned into a point of light that sank into Xiaopa's chest.

Xiao Pa seemed to feel something, raised his hand and looked at it, his face full of surprise.

But then, the shadow of the lion reappeared, this time looking at Li You: "By the way, boy, now that I have awakened and can get rid of this hammer, I can also help you lift its curse. You see how?"

Li You was a little surprised. He thought for a while and asked, "Can the positive effect be retained?"

"...Then there's no way to lift the curse. The most I can do is modify the effect."

"Then please."

The lion shadow exhaled and submerged into the sledgehammer, and invisible changes occurred immediately.

Li You didn't bother to check the current effect of the sledgehammer. The two brothers were already saying goodbye.

Xiao De stretched out his hand to Xiao Pa, and the two hugged tightly.

"Be careful when you go back, brother."

"I will. I will come find you when I send the princess back."

Xiaopa smiled and said: "Okay. But I remember that among the rewards promised by the king, there was a sword used by the hero Achilles, which I have always wanted. If you get it, will you give it to me? "

Xiaode laughed: "If you want it, you have to get it yourself!" "I knew you were unreliable!"

Xiaopa punched Xiaode in the chest, and both of them laughed. Then, they turned to Li You.

"...Li You, thank you, we brothers don't have to kill each other." Xiaode's expression was sincere, and Xiaopa also expressed his thanks.

Li You was not used to others thanking him so solemnly, and waved his hand: "I just think your decision is too hasty, that's fine."

"No matter what, I still want to thank you." Xiaode said, "However, I still have a question."

"You ask."

Xiaode pointed to the unconscious princess with a red slap mark on her face and asked: "...Is it necessary to hit her?"

Li You was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, I've wanted to hit her since I was a child!"

Xiao De and Xiao Pa: "?"

……

After that, Xiaode took the princess and took the boat prepared by someone on the coast, all the way back to the kingdom.

And Xiaopa stayed in this land. He summoned the remaining priests of Hecate who had not joined Behemoth, announced that he would succeed the high priest, and expelled the death energy of this land back to Hades.

Not long after, Xiaode left everything in the kingdom and came here, joining his younger brother... these are all things for later.

As for Li You, after helping the two brothers solve the problem, he raced against time to cut up the materials that could be removed from Behemoth.

Such as the toughest back skin of Behemoth, the horn on the top of the head, and of course the body tissue allocated to Yuzu, as well as the flesh and blood that Ye Ge wants.

However, Behemoth's vitality is quite tenacious. Even so, he is still alive, but he cannot break free of the seal. After the secondary reinforcement of the seal, it is no longer possible for him to break free unless someone deliberately breaks it.

Xiaopa said that he would be optimistic about Behemoth next, and Li You was relieved.

So, he took Yuzu and Aiji to say goodbye to them and prepared to leave for the next world.

In addition, because he was busy sucking the blood of Behemoth, Yege was almost thrown away by Li You and the others.

On a beach, Li You, Ai Ji and Yu Zi stood on the gray-black beach and turned to look at Ye Ge.

"If you go any slower, you'll have to stay in this world for the rest of your life."

Ye Ge swayed: "Don't blame me, that big guy...blood tastes really good. Burp!"

Ai Ji saw it flying swaying, and asked curiously: "Is it possible that this sword is drunk?"

"It must have absorbed too many nutrients from Behemoth's blood. It may have to sleep for a while."

Li You waved his hand: "Ignore it, let me confirm the information about the next world."

The world is small, so rewards and achievements are simple.

[The main mission of the Double-Edged Warrior: Defeat all BOSS and rescue the princess, completed. 】

[Task reward: All attributes +1, world fragments ×1, lucky coin ×1, reward extraction chance ×10, backpack space ×5. 】

【Ding! 】

【congratulations. 】

[The next world has been extracted. The world transfer process will start in one hour. You can also choose to transfer manually. 】

[After entering the new world, a new main mission will be released. 】

【Stay tuned. 】

The rewards for the main missions are very simple, but they look pretty good. As for achievements, there is mainly one for each BOSS.

[Achievement: King of Gold, defeat Gold King Midas. 】

[Achievement reward: achievement points x 400, golden armor x 1. 】

……

[Achievement: Bronze Giant, defeat the Bronze Giant Talos. 】

[Reward: Achievement points x 700, remote control bronze giant (1/15) x 1. 】

……

[Achievement: Minotaur, defeat the Minotaur Minotaur. 】

[Reward: Achievement points x 500, Bull Hunter’s Certificate x 1. 】

……

[Achievements: False Hercules, defeated false Hercules. 】

[Reward: Achievement points x 1000, lion skin belt x 1. 】

……

[Achievements: Petrified Eyes, defeated Medusa. 】

[Reward: Achievement points × 900, Petrified Eye (consumable) × 1. 】

……

[Achievement: King of Behemoths, defeated Behemoth. 】

[Reward: Achievement Points x 2000, Beast King’s Heart x 1. 】

Small-scale worlds seem to be like this. The rewards for the main missions are simple, as are the achievements. Direct achievement points plus a corresponding prop.

Li You looked at it briefly.

As the name suggests, the golden armor is a set of armor made almost from pure gold. It is shiny, but exaggeratedly heavy, and its defensive power... is almost the same as gold. Li You doesn't know what the use of this thing is.

The remote-controlled bronze giant is a miniature version of Talos. That (1/15) is not the number of uses, but the actual ratio.

So this thing is just over two meters tall, which is a bit shorter than Yuzu. It can be remotely controlled by Li You using his mental power. It is sturdy except for the back of the neck and heels, but... it does not have a sensory sharing function.

It was identified as a large remote control toy.

The Bull Hunter's Certificate, a medal, greatly increases damage to enemies whose attributes are related to "ox" - where can he find so many enemies of the ox type?

But the lion skin belt and the petrified eye are both good items.

[Lion Skin Belt: It is said to have been worn by the great hero Hercules and is a belt made of the skin of the Nemean lion. It greatly increases the wearer's strength and energy, allowing him to fight fifty games in a row. However, other clothing items cannot be equipped at the same time. 】

[Petrified Eyes (consumable): A pair of Medusa's eyes that still retain magical power. Throw them at the enemy. The enemy hit will be petrified and disappear after use. 】

Although these two props have some very subtle flaws, we have to admit that their own effects are also very powerful.

As for the last heart of the Beast King, Li You originally thought it was a symbolic name, but when he took it out, he found that it was actually a huge heart. That is, the system had specially added an annotation so that it could be included in the backpack.

[Heart of the Beast King: The giant beast Behemoth still has a vital heart with infinite power. If a suitable body can be found, it will be able to exert its effectiveness. 】

Judging from the fact that it can drive such a huge body of Behemoth, this heart should be indeed very powerful, but when Li You asked, even Yuzi said that his current body could not bear this thing.

I don’t know who can use it.

Finally, there is the reward for the main mission. What surprised Li You the most was that he was actually given a world fragment. He had not gotten a world fragment for a long time, so that he could have cleared the game to get the reward for the last piece, but he never got it. I'm willing to use it, and now the problem is solved.

As for the lucky coin…

[Lucky Coin: An ancient Greek coin that contains the power of blessing. After being crushed, it can improve luck within a time limit. 】

Although it is a bit mysterious, and I don’t know how effective it is, if you absorb it into the ancient coin, it will continue to produce it in the future, which is a good thing.

Anyway, when drawing cards in the future, in addition to finding Claire as much as possible, I also pinch a coin. Whether it has any effect is another matter. At least it can be used as psychological comfort.

These are the gains from this world. In addition to these things, Li You has not forgotten the bits and pieces he got from the previous world. Wandering Trader Credentials have already been mentioned, but the rest include:

A collection of classic fairy tales, recording fairy tales created by famous artists from all over the world, which can increase the affinity of the holder and is especially effective for children.

A camouflage cloak that blends into the surrounding environment when stationary or moving slowly.

An Antiquities Appraiser's Certificate can increase the price when selling an item with a vintage to anyone.

And the one that Li You values ​​the most is the protector's refuge.

[Item introduction: A disposable temporary shelter that automatically generates a safe house after being placed on the ground. It can accommodate up to four people and can withstand any attack that is not more powerful than a nuclear bomb explosion within ten minutes. 】

This prop was the one that surprised Li You the most. Because of it, if Li You encounters a world that he doesn't like, he can choose to flip the table directly.

Of course, this is only a last resort after all, but at least there is an additional option.

I can use my trump card, but I can’t live without it!

At this point, Li You has finished sorting out his harvest, and the time for transmission has just arrived.

Looking at the portal unfolding in front of him, Li You took a deep breath, took his companions back into the system space, and stepped inside.

　Done! The next world, Night City!

　　But I guess the update will be late tomorrow (sorry)
