As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 139 Since it’s an exam, let’s cheat
"You're the monster!" Li Nuo kept firing at the opponent. Some of the player's armor shattered and he rushed up and jammed his shoulder.

In the small space, the two men struggled with each other.

He didn't stop until Cha Bai picked up Li Nuo's gun and pressed it on the guy's head.

"How did you see my disguise?" the man asked.

"Oh, there's something wrong with your eyes. There's only decadence in your eyes, not the light that shines through hard work." Li Nuo still remembered the look of the staff member too clearly.

"What kind of bullshit ability is that?" Li Nuo asked.

But the other party said with a smile: "Let's work together and I'll tell you."

Li Nuo pulled him. This guy still looked like a staff member, and said with a smile: "The first step of cooperation, don't you want to tell me how you turned into an acquaintance of mine?"

"I was forcibly tied here..." The man raised his eyes and said helplessly: "A one-time illusion skill card... When everyone sees me, I look like the last familiar, harmless NPC they saw. Look."

"So, you can't use that trick anymore?"

"But I'm a master of firearms. If we work together and get the ticket, we can...ah, let's put it this way, when that lady hijacked me, I immediately recognized that she was a player, so that's why I I wonder if we can discuss cooperation when we get to a safe place." This guy talked a lot. He spread his hands and smiled and said: "I'm very sincere. I'm an expert with firearms and my reaction value is quite high. It's 40 points. Why? Like, are you excited? Cooperate? Form an alliance?"

Li Nuo: "Okay~ I think so too."

Tom's heart skipped a beat as he drove.

Brother, you are miserable...

At this time, several heavily armored police cars emerged from the street.

"Fuck!" Tom yelled, "There's something wrong with those police cars!"

"If something is wrong, that's right." Li Nuo looked at Cha Bai, who rushed to sit in the back car and pressed against the rear window to drive the prosthetic eye.

The player who pretended to be an acquaintance of Li Nuo said at this time: "What have you done?"

"Cooperation, right?" Li Nuo asked.

The player nodded: "I can see that you are quite capable."

With a bang, Li Nuo kicked the car door open: "Of course, sir!"

He threw [Zero Five] to Cha Bai.

"shot!"

"it is good."

Cha Bai held the sniper rifle in front of him, smashed the gun tip against the car window, and suddenly pulled the trigger at the police car behind him!
[Zero Five] Sniper rifle, a T2077-level weapon that has been on the altar in "Cyberpunk 0".

The cool thing about it is.

Bullets will turn into cannonballs.

Boom!
A police car behind him blew up a layer of smoke!
"The suspect took the initiative to attack and used firepower to suppress it. It's over." A heavily armed police officer put down the walkie-talkie in the passenger seat and ordered: "Try to capture him alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, FNMAG general-purpose machine guns were set up on the tops of several armored police vehicles.

A layer of data flow flashed through the tea-white prosthetic eyes. These police cars have protective chips inside. The technological content is not as high as that of cyberpunk, but it is higher than the normal world view.

Hack into vehicle systems.

Let the chip malfunction briefly.

When the car body made an electric sound, the policeman driving shouted: "There is a hacker on the other side!"

"Shoot directly!"

"and many more!"

Cha Bai fired another shot.

"shooting!"

The machine gun started firing, and the 7.62mm general-purpose ammunition continued to harass the van. Tom had tried his best. If he hadn't been a novice, he would have hit the brakes by now.

"Brother, we are being attacked!"

"I know!" Li Nuo grabbed the player and suddenly threw him down while the car bumped.

The player's physical fitness was very good, and even if he was hit by a high-speed vehicle, a roll would offset the damage.

But behind him were a large number of police cars.

He immediately understood that the so-called cooperation was worth this.

"Damn it... fuck me."

Two police cars passed him and followed the van away.

The remaining police cars surrounded him.

The police shouted into the walkie-talkie: "The target vehicle jolted after being attacked, and a suspect fell out of the vehicle. Please call for additional personnel, the van is heading towards the central city. Let's arrest first..."

Before he finished speaking, the player started attacking the policeman who pointed his gun at him.

Because the mission time is only 12 hours, as long as you are caught, the time is not yours, so you have to escape from here, even if you go to the slums to hide, it doesn't matter.

That player had this mentality and took the initiative to attack several heavily armed police officers.

He immediately ran sideways to the back of a sales point. At the same time, his fingers felt cold, he clapped his palms, listed five ice picks in front of him, and moved forward quickly.

However, the chasing police officers easily escaped the attack and were standing behind the player in the next moment. One of them pushed him to the ground, and several others beat him wildly with rifle butts until he was unconscious.

"Fifth Avenue, we have a suspect here."

"As the command said, these people may really use special abilities."

In the world before level 25, the power of NPCs tended to be within the range of normal humans.

Players are used to it.

It’s a thing few people think about.

In a world beyond level 25, players will no longer be beyond common sense in the civilian class composed of NPCs.

We can see that in fighting games, fighters make waves on the spot and crack the earth with their hands.

On the one hand, they are extremely talented.

On the other hand, it is also because... in the world they live in, the initial lower limit for ordinary people is high, and the upper limit is even higher.

You have no place to reason about this. For example, in Dragon Ball, even if the combat power of ordinary people is 5, they can make waves through practice; but in Red Dead Redemption, even if they become a tycoon and a famous sharpshooter in the west, their combat power is still only 5.

The setting of the innate world determines the underlying foundation.

"A group of NPCs who won at the starting line..." Because he was walking in a straight line, Li Nuo could see how the policemen in the distance avoided the ice picks.

This is good news for him.

The stronger the NPC, the worse the players will be.

The police car behind was still following closely.

The reason why it hasn't been overturned by machine gun fire yet is because Cha Bai used a magic shield to protect this dilapidated van.

Li Nuo took the [Zero Five] sniper rifle and loaded it with a click.

Cha Bai used his prosthetic eyes to hack into a police car and asked, "Do you want to destroy their communication device?"

"No need for the moment." Li Nuo took out a [Advanced North Wind], his pupils looked at the forks of the streets ahead, and his ears moved slightly: "Tom, turn the wheel to the right and slow down."

Tom did so immediately.

The moment he stepped on the brakes, two police cars crashed out of the left and right intersections!
Tom was startled, and the police car turned right through the gap.

"Go to the haunted yard in the suburbs." Li Nuo said, lighting up the [Higher North Wind] and throwing it on the ground while the police car was chasing after him.

A layer of frost formed on the asphalt road, a police car rolled over on its side, and the chasing vehicle became farther and farther away.

However, this group of police officers are not like the gang of cops in Night City. They have superior physical fitness, stronger execution ability, strong sense of persistence, and an aura that will not give up until the gangsters are caught. This may be the subordinates brought out by Chunli. .

The word justice is engraved in the minds of these guys.

Tom asked at this time: "I thought you were going to the gang. Don't you have the gang details?"

Li Nuo understood what he meant. With that detailed list, he might be able to get a chance to cooperate with the gang. If one force cooperates, he can get better tickets.

"It's not necessary. We have to give other players some way to survive."

"what?"

Li Nuo said: "If the police and gangs regard players as a thorn in their side, the consequence is that some players will commit suicide with the intention of causing trouble. One me is enough. If there are dozens of me, no one knows how this mission will develop." It’s impossible to predict. If the players all go to the gangs, then the probability of getting tickets from the gangs will become lower and lower, and the internal fighting among the players will become more and more serious, so I just keep the gang details."

Tom felt that it was quite normal for their team to be wiped out by him alone...

As Li Nuo spoke, he looked out the window and spotted a woman lying on the windowsill on the third floor of a building 100 meters away. This woman had muscles on her body and her finger joints were unusually strong.

He took out the Mallorian, loaded it with [deflagration bullets], and loaded it: "For example, give them some opportunities now."

The woman stood up.

Looking at the painful man, he smiled and said, "This is the ability of [Muscle Closure]... quite an interesting skill."

"Ha~ Thanks for the treat." The woman took out a gun with a silencer from the compartment of her backpack, blew the man's head off, then put on her clothes and walked to the balcony.

She took out a post-event cigarette, lit it, inhaled deeply, and puffed out the smoke.

so cool...

Her name is Shang Jun.

Players.

Feeling relieved, I still have to think about how to do the task.

At this time, the TV broadcast, which had been used to suppress the sound, began to interrupt the news:
[Welcome to Beizhen News]

[Five robbers robbed the bank today, causing no property damage, but three of the robbers are at large, and the police have issued a notice]

[Residents please try to reduce the time you go out in the past [-] hours]

"Ok?"

"Twelve hours? Is it possible that the player's movements have been grasped? The script only started 20 minutes ago."

Shang Jun laughed.

"Who knows which player did this?"

She heard the roar of a lot of engines down the block.

Look away.

A dilapidated van, followed by a bunch of police cars.

is a bunch.

"I rely on."

Shangjun's cigarette almost fell to the ground.

What kind of magical power is this?
Suddenly, there was a bang, and a red bullet was shot out of the van. Shangjun's pupils were startled, and he jumped into the air in a second. The moment he landed on the ground, the balcony where he was just now had been hit by [explosive bullets] It was blown to ashes.

The van passed by her before Shang Jun had time to look at the people in the car.

Two police cars surrounded her.

The policeman got out of the car, pointed his gun at her, and said with a walkie-talkie: "There is a woman who jumped from the third floor without any injuries. She is suspected of having special abilities. Over."

"Miss, would you like to come with us?"

Shang Jun's eyes showed a fierce look...Am I being plotted?what happens?

……

"understood."

"Something happened here...well, it's okay. It's been solved. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Chunli hung up the phone.

She stood at the edge of the block. The white car she was riding in overturned and several players lay on the ground.

She pulled up a player's hair, glanced at the man's panic face with her phoenix eyes, and said with a smile: "You have plenty of time to go to the interrogation room, first tell me why you attacked my car, and then... have a good chat with me about Things about people from other worlds.”

The player didn't understand what was going on.

They were just walking together to get rid of the first wave of prologue tickets.

But...who knew it was Chunli in the car.

He looked at Chunli, who had long hair, and her smiling face had a look that only Interpol could have.

Because her whole body was covered in dust from the battle just now, Chunli put her hair down into a ponytail and changed her clothes. Unexpectedly, she attracted criminals from another world.

This accident gave her a new harvest.

That ticket can attract criminals to show up.

……

The scene returns to the van.

Tom heard the sounds of fighting behind him and was sweating.

What the hell kind of operation is this...

"Look, the bank robbery has just ended. As long as there are players who are exposed and have contact with our group of robbers, they are the virus in this city. As lymphocytes, the police will definitely pay attention to these viruses, and they will become more and more serious. Pay attention." Li Nuo said, stretched his head next to Tom, and said with a smile: "We are syphilis that can move, and it will be infected wherever we go."

"Ah, ha, Ming, I understand." Tom had forgotten that he couldn't drive.

There was only one thing on his mind.

I have syphilis.

Tom was sure of one thing. Fortunately, he met him.

Then Li Nuo threw another [Higher Beifeng] on the asphalt road, and the car drove into the alley. Cha Bai quickly turned off the camera before entering.

They took advantage of the dark and windy night to change cars.

Now that no one was chasing him, Li Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The first step of casting a wide net was finally done.

Li Nuo took out the mobile phone he had just received and searched for information about this world.

The name of this town is Beizhen.

It is a replica of South Town, a well-known area in the "Hungry Wolf" series.

The world view setting seems to have nothing to do with Street Fighter and King of Fighters, and is more like a randomly generated script.

The timeline of the script is 2003. In an era when the Internet was not widely available, there was very little information that could be found.

"If you want to get more rewards, you may need to find someone to ask about the world view settings first." Li Nuo lowered his head to think about it and entered "Beizhen" on his mobile phone to search.

After searching, he probably understood.

The setting of this town is exactly the same as the setting of South Town in "KOF".

The geographical location is located on the southern coast of the United States and belongs to the state of Florida from a location perspective.

It is an imaginary city in SNK's business games "Hungry Wolf" and "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger" series.

Although not officially confirmed, Southtown is most likely a combination of Florida and another administrative state.

The most famous building here is the Gista built by gang leader Keith, which may be based on the Empire State Building in New York.

The prototype of the port may be a combination of most cities in Florida near the Gulf of Mexico.

However, there are two other points that differ from the South Town setting.

First, the slums.

Second, the haunted house.

Let’s talk about the slums first. Judging from the photos that can be found, they look a bit like the slums in Guilty Gear...

A fighting game, right?

As for the haunted house, the system told them from the beginning that it was a product of the worldview of "Zero".

There should be a connection between them, Li Nuo thought.

Chabai was also watching.

"What happened?" she asked, looking at Li Nuo's increasingly serious expression.

Li Nuo just shook his head and said nothing, thinking rapidly in his mind.

He always feels that the more explanatory and unsubplots there are in a script, the more it indicates the existence of something deeper and deeper.

Just like in "NieR", the world I thought was actually "Final Fantasy", the hidden world view should exist in any script.

Any script…

Even RPG scripts have a hidden area.

"Since we are taking exams now..." Li Nuo spoke, Cha Bai listened attentively. He paused and said, "Cheating in exams is normal, right?"

Tom said without thinking: "Don't be kidding, brother, an exam is an exam, let alone a systematic exam. How can there be any loopholes for us to take advantage of?"

"No, it's not..." Li Nuo shook his head: "There are a lot of loopholes in every script. It just depends on whether you can find a gap in the wall that you can get into."

"Then what should we do now?" Cha Bai said.

"I'll think about it again." Li Nuo pointed his finger on the tip of his nose, took out a piece of paper, and kept writing down the little information on it, sorting out his thoughts in his mind.

The next area they went to was the Haunted House, after all, there were fixed tickets available there.

The journey takes two and ten minutes, so this time cannot be wasted.

When Cha Bai watched the ungrateful look in Li Nuo's pupils disappear, she felt relieved. She knew very well that as long as this guy's eyes became serious, no matter how difficult the problem, he would find a solution.

According to Li Nuo's plan, a large number of players will gather in two places within an hour.

[-]. The gang on the opposite side of the police station.

[-]. The slum where the martial arts master lives.

Both are clear quest points for getting tickets.

The former is powerful and the latter is convenient for hiding.

He opened the mission panel and looked at the six branches again.

[1. Contribute to the dispute between the gang and the police]

[2. The martial arts master’s demon hunting plan kills at least two monsters in the slums]

[3. Several deathmatch missions in the black market boxing ring]

[4. A haunted house in the suburbs, come out alive from the haunted house]

[5. The police station assists the vigilantes and survives the struggle of the super strong]

【6. The Curse of the City】

"Branch lines 1 and 5 should be the main lines on the surface, that is, what happens in this city under the sun and everyone knows."

"Branch 3, the gray line, symbolizes things that most people don't know and a few people know."

"Branch 2, 4 and 6 are related to strange things, the black line, the hidden main line, the truth of this city."

Li Nuo re-wrote these items out of order.

"The dispute between the gangsters and the police is actually a superhero blockbuster. It doesn't matter which one you do first. When it comes to the beginning of the Hundred Demons Night Walk, the two parties will inevitably have conflicting battles."

His hand holding the penholder paused.

"Branch 3, black market boxing, a bridge connecting gangster police and weird things?"

He crossed out branch line 3.

Then look at the three branches hidden under the plot line at the bottom.

"Branch 4, haunted house, keyword, ghost."

"Twelve hours later, a hundred ghosts will walk at night, the keyword is ghost."

"The script of "Zero" is most closely related to Hyakki Yakou...perhaps."

“If you push back, the ghost is a curse and the truth; if you push it forward, it’s a monster trapped in the slums.”

"So the order of the branch lines on this side is... 2, 4, 6, just follow the original order."

Li Nuo put down the pen.

"Tom, let's go somewhere else instead of going to the haunted house."

Suddenly there was a thud!
The car shook.

Tom: "Something fell on the roof of the car!"

At this moment, a black arm broke through the roof of the car and reached in!
boom!
Li Nuo fired a shot at the roof of the car.

A black, non-human creature fell to the ground, rolled around twice and crawled into the dark alley.

"What is that?" Tom frowned.

"Monsters are not human anyway." Cha Bai said.

"Tom." Li Nuo whispered: "Go to the martial arts house, the slums."

Tom nodded.

Then he turned the car around and arrived at the entrance of the slum ten minutes later.

Night has fallen, and the crowds in the slums are dense.

The three got out of the car.

Li Nuo took a mobile phone from a person he passed by, threw it to Cha Bai and unlocked it with his prosthetic eye, and then handed it to Tom.

"I want to ask you one thing. Go to the edge of the town and take some photos for me there."

Tom took the phone thoughtfully.

Li Nuo smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will find a way to get your ticket, and we may have to meet up soon."

"Well, I will do this as soon as possible." After hearing this, Tom got in the car and drove away.

The system has said that if players rush out of the city boundary, unexpected consequences will occur.

It may be disqualification from the exam.

But it doesn’t matter what the consequences are.

What matters is what the outside of the border looks like, and whether it will be the same as the situation faced in "NieR" at that time, with a large protective layer surrounding the entire city.

This may be a breakthrough in hiding the world view.

Then Li Nuo clasped his temples, used the communication device to contact Marjie, and chose to leave a message: "Marjie, go to the black market boxing scene in Branch 3 and contact him later."

"Are you leaving?" Cha Bai held his hands behind his back and looked back at Li Nuo.

"Well, let's go, we must not get sidetracked."

"Then do you want to tie me up with a chain?"

"I thought you were joking."

The two of them walked into the slum talking about useless topics.

Li Nuo's mind kept spinning.

Gangs and police...

Fighting Story Battle…

ghosts...

curse……

All information is spread across the brain like a spider web.

He was reorganizing the limited information in his mind, hoping to provide himself with a more meaningful and clear idea in a short time.

suddenly.

Cha Bai noticed that Li Nuo had stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Nuo just stood there, his eyes widened, and he held it in for a long time before saying: "Damn..."

　Sorting out the outline so it's a little less busy today.
