As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 122 Die or Eat

After Li Nuo left.

Cha Bai picked up a spell book called "Elements" and sat down on the rocking chair to read it to kill time.

When players learn high-level skills such as magic, they must first learn the theoretical foundation, and only then can they quickly master magic.

It's like learning fighting skills. For example, if you want to learn the moves of a guy who holds three knives in his mouth and can talk, you must meet the prerequisites for the ability, such as mastering the basic swordsmanship, or some advanced skills. swordsmanship.

However, the good thing about the system is that as long as the player's personal ability is judged to be qualified, the learning speed is much faster than that of NPC.

Just like Li Nuo was learning to "steal".

In addition, the insight value plays a very important role in learning. In the current environment below level 25, players cannot come into contact with anything too outrageous. At higher levels and above, players with high insight value can come up with weird things from their special skills. Son.

Chabai's insight value is 32.

The speed and understanding of reading books are above average among players of this level.

Even so, it was painful for her to learn.

Learning is a much more painful thing than fighting.

Fighting, death and life mostly happen in a split second.

Learning is a torture that consumes humanity for a long time.

According to the contents of these books, magic is a very chaotic thing, and its essence is to control, suppress and utilize elemental energy.

No one should venture into any realm of magic without proper training.

Warlocks claim that their power comes from nature. To be more precise, they are the four elements of nature: earth, water, air and fire.

In order to use [Ancient Blood] to awaken the so-called sage spells, Chabai still needs to master more magic. Her previous learning was very complicated, which resulted in extremely confusing use of magic.

Now you need to start from scratch and learn elemental magic.

[Contacting the magic power of fire element]

[Learning progress: 2%]

[After learning, you will turn on the attributes]

A lot of data flowed into Chabai's mind.

She had to concentrate on reading to make her study progress jump forward a little bit...

The magic in the world of "The Witcher" comes with those strange creatures when the heavens and the heavens meet.

So... these magics are likely to come from another game world.

"Another game world..." Cha Bai thought of this and looked at the tombstone.

She put the book down.

Went to the tombstone in the mall.

There is a "genuine game" sales section on the mall page.

Most of the so-called games below level 25 can be seen here.

According to what Li Nuo popularized to her, the world view that players can face at around level 20 has two characteristics.

[-]. It must take place in a world where ordinary people are the standard. For example, in the world view of "NieR", even if artificial and mechanical life forms are higher than ordinary people, the "human beings" protected by the Yorha Force are actually ordinary people.

[-]. In addition to open world missions, the script will definitely restrict the player's mission route. For example, the mission time is compressed, and higher-dimensional props and weapons cannot be purchased or obtained.

After the so-called "Eternal Life Train" ends, perhaps when facing the new world, the level of ordinary people there will exceed lv10, or even higher.

This is something to say later, and it’s just Li Nuo’s conjecture.

Chabai is now interested in what the so-called game is.

There happens to be an extra game console on the second floor.

"resident Evil……"

"Red Dead Redemption..."

"Monopoly..."

"Crows……"

Cha Bai stopped in front of the description column of a game.

"NieR Automata".

She is hesitating.

Should she buy this game? Although Li Nuo told her the story behind it, she was still very curious.

However, if she plays this game, she will have a strange feeling that I am playing myself.

Just when he was hesitating, the prompt that Li Nuo had arrived in the space appeared.

She stood up and turned around to see Li Nuo taking out the elf ball in a panic.

"what happened?"

"The system prompts me to screen 'Yu Sanjia' immediately."

Li Nuo said, bringing up the new data panel of the Poke Ball.

[Congratulations on taking out the Poké Ball within the specified time]

[Based on the journey you have experienced, we have retrieved your memory fragments]

[The "elves" randomly generated are in larval state, you need to choose one of the following three]

[Note: The mid-term growth strength of the three creatures is comparable to the "Shadow Elder", and the upper limit is far higher]

【Dragon of Fire】

【Devil's Flower】

【Snake in the water】

"In other words, based on the monsters I have seen, three kinds of 'elves' have been generated on their own? Bahamut, Flower of the Demon Realm, Leviathan, right..." Li Nuo stared at the dead fish eyes: " Water, fire and grass are really the three families of Yu."

He analyzed it to himself: "Since it is a larvae, it means that its attributes and abilities are not yet at full strength. It may be weak. The flame dragon corresponds to the fire dragon, the devil's flower corresponds to the evil grass, and the water snake It’s water with poison, is that what you mean?”

If you focus on Pokémon, the attributes of Fire and Dragon are definitely better.

Cha Bai's elemental magic is currently fire, and Li Nuo himself can also enchant with fire attributes. If combined with a fire-breathing dragon...

Li Nuo thought of the "Fire-Fire-Fire Combination".

"The Dragon of Fire."

【Boom~】

[Selection completed]

[Note here: Any creature has several evolutionary chains, for example, whether a green caterpillar becomes a butterfly or a Rayquaza, whether a butterfly will become Mothra, the relationship between Benjilas and Godzilla, the Silver Fire Dragon Like Sky Dragon, Upright Ape and Attack on Titan, in short, how to choose the evolution of living things is a question that needs to be considered. It is related to your experience, so please take responsibility for its new life]

Li Nuo shook the elf ball in his hand: "In larval form, a disgusting baby dragon?"

He threw the Poke Ball.

With a flash of red light.

A stream of air spurted out from the elf ball!

A strong wind suddenly arose in the quiet space, and the strong wind blew his hair curtains to cover his eyes. Li Nuo heard the roar of the dragon, saw the red dragon scales scattered, and felt the hot breath.

He raised his head.

In the gray sky, a huge dragon soared under the dark clouds.

"Is this called a larvae?"

Li Nuo was stunned. If it were expressed in comics, there must have been big sweat spots on his forehead.

He silently put on [Emil's Mask].

【Fire Dragon】

[Level: lv5]

[Skills: flame emission, wing attack, impact, tail sweep]

[Attribute: Fire, Dragon]

[Brief description: King of the Sky]

[Evolution chain: lv20 Cang Fire Dragon → lv36 Silver Fire Dragon → lv55? ? ? 】

"This, this can be turned into a Pokémon?" Li Nuo looked at the soaring Fire Dragon in the sky, the famous monster from "Monster Hunter", and saw a ghost.

"So larvae does not include childhood, right?" Li Nuo complained to himself, and suddenly saw the fire dragon stopping in the air, flapping its wings and focusing on him.

Cha Bai hugged his chest and reminded: "It seems to be interested in you."

Li Nuo said: "Theoretically...it shouldn't want to eat me, right?"

At this time, a panel popped up in front of me:
[The subdued creature will have great enthusiasm for its owner]

[So don’t be intimidated by their appearance, they just want to play with you]

Before Li Nuo finished reading, the fire dragon suddenly roared (laughter), and then rushed towards Li Nuo. Based on its state and what the introduction column said, it should be looking for a greeting, such as a hug, from its owner.

Facing the dragon's dive, Li Nuo raised the elf ball and took the fire dragon back.

"If you really hug me, I'll be doomed."

"Is it powerful?" Cha Bai asked.

"Awesome." Li Nuo looked at the elf ball and said, "But I want to know more about whether it tastes good."

Donkey meat on the ground, dragon meat in the sky, how many pieces of donkey meat can be burned with such a big donkey?

[In the elf ball, the "elf" will temporarily return to its own world, so there is no need to worry about feeding it (it can avoid death in the original world and will not fall into disputes)]

[Note: Except for some specific scripts, the elf ball can be used three times in most scripts, and the experience points gained by the creatures in the elf ball are calculated separately]

"That is to say, the elf ball is still a space-connected creation." Li Nuo looked at Chabai and suddenly thought that if he had chosen to make her an "elf", she would still be continuing to play "NieR Automata" now. Story?
"What's wrong?" Cha Bai asked.

"Nothing." Li Nuo threw the elf ball into the room. When he came out, he saw the "NieR Automata" game purchase option displayed on the Tombstone Mall.

He said: "We have a ticket for "Neil". If you want to go back and see it, we can go at any time."

"No, I'm just curious." Cha Bai shook his head slightly: "Are you going back now or do something else?"

Li Nuo: "Then, let's cook some food."

Cha Bai: "Okay then."

Li Nuo went to Tombstone in the mall to buy some food. As a lonely man, he was a professional at cooking.

But when he saw a series of game lists, Li Nuo suddenly thought of a fun one.

"Chabai."

"Ok?"

"Would you like to do something fun?"

"Um, okay."

……

Two days later.

Marjie took the train and came to Li Nuo's space.

He was dumbfounded as soon as he came out of the basement.

"What is this..."

"Why is their place so big?"

Marger became more and more excited as he walked.

He saw a red dragon in a space enclosed by a fence... Its body was nearly 20 meters long, and the heat radiating from its body made the air begin to distort.

Fire dragon...?
Marger's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to move for a moment.

The fire dragon opened his eyes, but he didn't take Marjie seriously at all. He suddenly flew into the sky and rushed into the dark clouds, playing like a child...

Marger stood like a fool.

"You mean... the shadow elder turned into a fire dragon?" He guessed correctly.

As the pace progressed and he explored the space square and the building area, Marger stared at the building that was at least twice as big as his own, and he felt like a fool.

He could think of it because the hidden mission of "Sealing the Mirror Master" rewarded these.

But he also got that reward, and his space did become larger, but only partially. Some training grounds were added, and the house changed from one floor to two floors, that's all.

In the final analysis, the high probability is because the rewards will be different according to the degree of contribution. Marjie's contribution is to find the Mirror Master's signature, and Li Nuo's contribution is to directly attract the Mirror Master's attention.

I feel jealous, but I can't say anything. Marjie is a bit envious and a bit jealous of wealth.

Until he saw a mechanical modification house labeled "Malj Factory".

He opened the rolling shutter door and saw the machine manufacturing bench in the room, as well as various appliances that were only available in the cyber world, and his eyes widened instantly.

A few seconds later, he calmly lowered the rolling shutter door and snorted coldly: "You understand, without me, there will be no future in life."

Then Marjie entered the house. He was about to call Chabai, but he heard a thumping sound upstairs and Li Nuo's shouting.

Marger followed the sound upstairs.

Stopping in front of the only door on this floor, he was about to go in when he heard a conversation.

Li Nuo: "What are you doing? Move quickly!"

Cha Bai: "You're too anxious, let's do this now... okay?"

Li Nuo: "There's no one anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Cha Bai: "Then I'll sit on it?"

Li Nuo: "Wait... let me think about it, I'd better sit on it."

Cha Bai: "Then I..."

Li Nuo: "Don't worry, take your time."

Cha Bai: "Well..."

Marger: "???"

He took out his video camera.

Li Nuo: "Marjie is here."

Cha Bai: "Then stop quickly."

Marger: "!!!"

Li Nuo: "Let me see if he can join..."

Cha Bai: "Come in!"

Marjie: "~~~"

He turned the doorknob and went in, and saw the two people holding the handles and playing "Thief Simulator".

On the screen, the thief controlled by Li Nuo was sitting in the car, and the 2P character controlled by Cha Bai was putting the microwave oven into the truck.

Li Nuo took out a plate of "Yarwenting" and said, "Have you ever played this? It's online."

Marjie's eyes were empty: "Let's play games with you."

Li Nuo said: "She is getting bored day by day, so I asked her to play games with her to relieve her boredom. What's wrong?"

Marger put away the camera: "It's okay."

"Did you think..." Li Nuo stared blankly: "Ah, forget it, I won't say anything else. Why are you bringing a camera?"

"Why don't you bring a camera and a bomb when you visit us?" Marjie answered impeccably: "What's going on with that fire dragon flying in the sky?"

Li Nuo said: "I forgot to tell you, the Shadow Elder was randomly transformed into a fire dragon from "Monster Hunter", the kind that can evolve."

"It's dangerous to leave that thing alone." Marger asked, "Do you want to be a dragon knight?"

"Your jokes are so bad..." Li Nuo looked at the fire dragon flying in the sky outside the window and said, "I want to try cultivating relationships to see if it can trigger the 'Intimacy Evolution'."

Marger: "Have you played too much with Pokemon?"

Li Nuo: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have a fart, say it quickly."

During the process of going downstairs, Marger talked about his own problems: "We have unlocked most of the weapon blueprints for cyberpunk, including rocket launchers, incendiary bombs, and various firearms. These can be purchased in the material library of the mall. When it comes to production materials, because drawings also cost money, it’s impossible for me to make everything, so I sifted through it.” He walked out of the house:
"Equip it with the Terrorist Mobile Team Armor Exterior."

"Weapons, each person has a comrade's hammer (kinetic energy revolver), a wall-penetrating sniper rifle [Zero Five], and two smart submachine guns [Yinglong]. There is no need for close combat."

"In addition, although the rifle [Widow Maker] has been weakened in the game, judging from the numerical value reflected on the drawing, it is still one of the best rifles. It is the most cost-effective to manufacture and can make three of them directly."

"The above weapons can ensure maximum output and maximum cost performance."

Marger took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then took out a proportional [torch lighter] from his backpack and lit the cigarette with a barbecue flame.

After exhaling a puff of melancholy smoke, he continued: "Miss Chabai, would you like to consider installing advanced electronic computer equipment, such as the kind that can be hacked by hackers?"

Cha Bai said: "I have my own anti-hacking system."

She was referring to the thinking system that comes with the androids in "NieR Automata".

"I consulted Victor's image, and he said that installing prosthetic eyes can connect to the intelligent brain behind the cerebral cortex, and use a device called a golem to unlock your ability to hack into other people's brains and restrain mechanical equipment." Marger took another sip: "Anyway, I plan to give myself a big makeover. If you are interested, please let me know."

Li Nuo took out a blueprint from the mailbox and returned it, handed it to Marjie, and said: "My manipulator blueprint, please see if there is any possibility of secondary transformation."

【PUNCH LINE Rocket Punch Drawing】

After reading it, Marger frowned and said, "The materials are all from "Devil May Cry", so I can't get them."

Li Nuo moved out the folding stool, sat down and said, "That's why I need you to see what else can be made based on this drawing and using our current conditions? Apart from something that can spray shit."

"Let me think about it." Marjie put away the drawings and said: "Let me tell you first, the materials needed just now add up to 6620 gold coins. If you include the modifications that I need to make, it may exceed 1 gold coins. Gold coins.”

Li Nuo said: "I will pay 6620 gold coins."

He looked at Cha Bai who was leaning against the door frame and asked, "Is that okay?"

Cha Bai nodded: "You decide."

Li Nuo dared to talk about money, not because he had a lot of money, not because he and Marjie had experienced many things together, nor because of their high tacit understanding with Marjie.

He and Marjie are actually the same kind of people.

Thinking jumps.

There is no rules for doing things.

Including the cold and talkative Cha Bai, the three of them formed a strange combination.

But with Cha Bai's face and figure, even if she wasn't here, there would still be a lot of teams that wanted her.

But once he and Marjie leave here, there may be no place for them to torment.

Weird people are weird people. Even if they are talented, they cannot be accepted as human beings by normal people.

Marger said: "No... I mean, do you want to build a team? What you said to me yesterday feels very strange."

Li Nuo told him yesterday about the lv25 exam, "Eternal Life Train".

He said: "I estimate that one or two more missions will be enough to raise the level to lv25. Before the exam, let's build a team."

"Besides, I always feel that...space encourages team formation, which is a bit problematic." Li Nuo changed his position on the chair: "Look, although the 'Endless Corridor' system is sometimes embarrassing, it is fair. I will never force you into an impossible mission, but you can enjoy more benefits when you form a team. No matter how you think about it, it feels... fishy."

"Then it's up to you." Marger put out the cigarette: "There are two more things."

He took out a thin needle.

【Not So Cautious Sewing Needle】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Conditions for use: Master a manufacturing skill]

[Effect: Modify the outer clothing (clothes, pants, shoes) that have not been upgraded to +3 to military style, light style, modern style, retro style, the value will not change, and the modification takes 12 hours]

[Brief description: As a female textile worker, she was known as the most special female worker in the city because the clothes she made became cooler and cooler as she sewed them. Later, she became a ghost thief]

This needle can modify Li Nuo's hunter windbreaker that looks a bit "draggy" into four styles.

"You don't want the female worker's fee, do you?" Li Nuo asked.

"Hmph..." Marger snorted coldly, pointed to the maintenance house and said: "I will use that place for free for the time being. In other words, in the past two months, I plan to temporarily 'move' to your place and stay in that maintenance house. In the house.”

"Okay." Li Nuo nodded.

Marger walked towards the maintenance room, making strange sounds like "hum hum" from the corner of his mouth, and his steps were steady and a little messy.

Cha Bai walked up behind Li Nuo, leaned close and whispered, "Did he really take the initiative to be fostered?"

Li Nuo also whispered: "I just said that men can't resist the temptation of 'mechanical'."

At this time, the fire dragon in the sky once again tried to hug Li Nuo with its dragon dive, but was once again taken back by the elf ball.

Li Nuo put away the elf ball: "There are two creatures suddenly fostered in the space... I'm not used to it."

Cha Bai looked at him and glanced to the side, smiling slightly.

"Chabai, do you want to continue playing?" Li Nuo asked.

"Yes." Cha Bai agreed and said, "But starting tomorrow, you have to start reading. In addition, your fighting skills need to be integrated. It must start as soon as possible in the next two weeks."

Then I won't be able to come over tomorrow, Li Nuo thought, and followed Cha Bai upstairs.

……

2030, April 5.

It's sunny outside.

Li Nuo finished drawing this week's manuscript, let out a sigh of relief, and lay down on the table.

"Father is exhausted..."

Since getting healthy, he has started to resume normal updates, and the popularity of the comics has steadily increased, but he has to face another terrible problem.

Updating on time...it's so hard.

Especially things like comics.

The plot, manuscript, outlines, and grids all have to be completed by myself.

Most comic writers nowadays have their own studios with an assembly line, and it is normal to maintain three updates in a week.

But he can't.

Li Nuo clicked on his phone and wondered whether he should buy a hand-drawn tablet.

After all, with this month’s royalties, on the basis of eating noodles every day, it’s not a big problem to buy a better hand-painted board.

But...he put the phone on the table within a few minutes.

I still can't break through the obsessive side of myself.

He picked up the dip pen. This thing was more soulful to use.

"So, why not just draw a female character without any clothes."

With this in mind, he opened "The Elder Scrolls" to look for inspiration.

until after dark.

Li Nuo quit the game exhausted and entered the "Endless Corridor".

Chabai was sitting on a rocking chair in the driving range reading a book, with a small table with drinks next to her. No matter how little she wore, she would be in the Maldives.

"Marjie has a message sent to the mailbox. Go and take a look." Cha Bai said without leaving the page.

Li Nuo clicked on the mailbox.

【Good Luck Coin】

[Effect: After use, a special script can be directly triggered, and the script must contain what the user needs most now]

[Brief description: Cold joke - only spearmen cannot use this coin, after all, their luck value is E]

Attached to the bottom is a sentence from Marjie: "Chen Shou and I did a mission, and the reward is this coin. We don't have anything special for the time being. Do you and Miss Chabai want to give it a try?"

"Did he trigger some special luck?" Li Nuo was shocked. Last time, it was Marjie who brought the [Kenshi Role Playing Card] to an outrageous start in the mission.

This time I got another coin that can be used to screen tasks?

Cha Bai came over and looked at it: "Do you want to try it?"

Li Nuo said: "I will come and you will come?"

"You," Cha Bai said, "After all, you didn't get much equipment suitable for you during this settlement."

Li Nuo took out the coins through the mailbox.

A coin with the number 0 engraved on both sides.

He thought silently about using it, and the coin jumped into the air, spinning and turning into dust.

Then a system voice sounded:

[Player 5901, what is most needed at the moment is...]

[Identity advancement materials]

[The script task that can obtain this material has been matched]

As the voice ends.

A ticket appeared in Li Nuo's hand.

"Parallel World Area 042, ticket to the mission location. This mission can carry five players to it at the same time."

"Status advancement..." Li Nuo said to Cha Bai, "Let's talk to Marjie tomorrow and rest until we set off on June [-]st."

……

6 month 1 day.

Space basement.

[Players please get on board]

[Towards the Parallel World Area 042]

[Task level: lv10~lv35]

[You can also invite friends to go, whether to invite]

"No. 5899, "Cairo Game World", Marger."

[Please wait, we are contacting the other party...]

[The other party has agreed]

【Do you want to get on the train now?The ticket is for five people, and you can invite two more players]

Li Nuo thought about it and realized that there might be a lot of players participating in this mission. In this case, it would be better to have more people around, but he could only invite one more.

"No. 5820, "Cairo Game World", Chen Shou."

"Invite no one else."

【Please be ready...】

As the voice became smaller and smaller, the light in Li Nuo and Cha Bai's eyes became darker and darker.

When the two opened their eyes, they had already entered the train.

"Strange..." Chabai glanced around and saw no sign of Marjie or Chen Shou.

"It's different from last time." Li Nuo took off the [Weapon Box] and sat on the chair and said: "The last time we went to the script of "The Witcher", Marger appeared in the carriage with us."

"Yeah, so there's something wrong with this script." Chabai nodded. She was wearing a uniform from the Terrorist Mobile Team, with a powerful revolver [Comrade's Hammer] attached to her waist and a [Kinetic Energy Explosive Hammer] attached to her back. , wearing [Tactical Goggles +3] and [Gas Mask].

Of course, the boots are high-heeled.

This is not a question of whether she looks good or not. She wears shoes with heels and runs faster.

Li Nuo's side is relatively simple.

Apart from carrying a sniper rifle [Zero Five] on his back, there are no special changes on his body.

That is to say, the coat was changed to a thinner black slim-fit windbreaker, but the essence is still a hunter suit. At least this outfit can prevent him from being regarded as a passerby participating in the COS competition in modern society.

On top of his head is Geralt's felt hat.

Wearing [Emil's Mask] on his face.

Cane in hand.

At his waist was a Malorian pistol.

【武器匣子】里存放的三个绑定武器为【庄臣的铁棍】、【折凳+3】、【寡妇制造者+2】、【八星铳+2】、【子弹匣子（动能手枪子弹40枚，智能通用子弹100枚，机械步枪子弹200枚）】。

The backpack grid contains 2 blood medicines, 2 light repair powders, the fire dragon's elf ball, the summoning magic stone, the skill card "wagging fingers", and Maggie's alchemy book.

In addition, special carrying items, a pile of decoctions are placed in the pocket of the windbreaker.

【The train has arrived】

[Players please get out of the car]

As the door opened, the two people stepped off the train.

Li Nuo said: "If the location is too far..."

"I understand." Cha Bai said, "Use a leather bag."

They got off the train.

White light flashed.

Li Nuo opened his eyes and stood at the door of a room.

He suddenly found himself lowering his gaze.

[You are now playing a 7-year-old child]

Li Nuo was stunned when he heard the sound of the system.

Just then, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

A woman ran out of the room and anxiously hugged Li Nuo, who was still unable to move.

【Start of mission】

[Please follow the plot first]

[All your abilities and props cannot be used]

"You scared mom to death!" the woman shouted, "It's dangerous outside, why did you sneak out!"

Li Nuo could only apologize: "I was wrong."

The woman who called herself mother touched Li Nuo's head: "We can't do this next time."

She put her forehead against Li Nuo's and said worriedly: "Did you hear that...you can't make me worry anymore."

Li Nuo said "hmm".

"You're not hurt, are you?" Tears flowed from the woman's eyes: "If something happens to you...how will I survive?"

"What danger...is there outside?" Li Nuo asked.

"Zombies are everywhere...don't you see?" The woman took Li Nuo's hand and walked towards the corridor: "It's time to eat. Let's eat first. Look at you...your face is dirty...let's eat first." , don’t go hungry.”

Zombies?

resident Evil?

Li Nuo asked in confusion: "What kind of zombie?"

"Don't ask... you are still young and shouldn't know this." The woman was like a mother who was constantly worried about her child being exposed to danger. She said, "Remember, you will never go outside without my consent in the future. Absolutely." You can’t put yourself in danger anymore, understand.”

"Oh." Li Nuo tried to open the panel, but nothing happened.The panels and abilities are really sealed.

As the woman spoke, she had already taken Li Nuo to the restaurant.

There are four children sitting here.

There was another dog lying on the ground.

Those children all had sullen faces and looked extremely bad.

Because what was on the table were rotten intestines and internal organs.

"Go," the mother said in a loving tone, "enjoy lunch with your brothers and sisters."

[Prologue Mission: Die or Eat]

(End of this chapter)
