……

Li Nuo: "What the hell! What kind of medical value are you adding!"

Cha Bai glanced at him with his tactical goggles on and comforted him: "Look on the bright side, at least your blood volume has increased."

"Well..." She checked: "Look, it has exceeded 100."

"Hehe..." Li Nuo covered his forehead: "I'm sorry for myself..."

Cha Bai looked at him and found it very funny. She probably understood what Li Nuo was upset about.

"I really did a bunch of tasks accidentally this time...I didn't mean to do the world main line...I didn't even think about completing it. I originally wanted to level up..." Li Nuo murmured to himself. .

But Chabai felt a special sense of need for beating from his words.

She thought about it, and using the Internet lingo of Li Nuo's world, it would probably be called "Versailles".

"It's best to upgrade as soon as possible, so don't complain."

"That's what I said..."

Li Nuo stared at him with dead eyes and clicked on the task panel.

The original main mission [Fire of Prometheus] has not ended yet, and there are still 15 surviving players.

He hoped that Miles, Lane and Sumei would survive.

The three of them have helped themselves. In the life-and-death player group, the existence of these people is hard-won.

Li Nuo heard movement next to him.

He turned to look at Chabai who was sorting out a pile of "MOD clothes".

Since she had been in a fierce battle, she didn't pay much attention to the clothes she was wearing now.

Li Nuo: "Ghost in the Shell, Jiu Ke's coat?"

Cha Bai said "hmm" and opened the panel: "It looks like this from the panel properties, but because it is a MOD costume, the actual data is very average. The main reason why I wear this suit is... it has a small amount of resistance to network intrusions. Effect."

Should I say it or not, my figure is like a wave.

Li Nuo's eyes were locked on her left breast.

Under normal circumstances, this would be what a gangster would do, but he was really just watching Cha Bai's heartbeat.

【The train has arrived】

[Players please get out of the car]

Li Nuo stood up and asked, "Isn't he an artificial human anymore?"

"Well, no, it's an elf now." Cha Bai nodded and added: "Elf Warlock."

In "The Witcher", the Iron Sid tribe, also known as elves in people's mouth, is a beautiful and long-lived race. They have pointed ears, clear-cut faces, and extremely elegant figures.

Chabai does not have pointed ears.

Probably the reason is that she is still half machine and half flesh.

So after returning to space.

The first thing Cha Bai did was to take out the scale and step on it.

When she saw "126KG" displayed on the scale, she smiled with relief.

Lighter~
She clicked on the panel and looked up her new racial characteristics, which she was interested in.

[Elf blood characteristics of player 5950]

[[-]. Elves are very good at alchemy, astronomy and astrology...even genetics is no problem (this may help your special friend, not referring to genetics, but alchemy)]

[60. Elves rely on the magic of nature. Their talent in magic far exceeds that of most races, so your speed in learning magic is increased by [-]%]

[[-]. Since the crystal magic of "Final Fantasy" is all-encompassing, your magic contains the symbol of "crystal". This will make it easier for you to comprehend more elven magic in the future, but first, you must remember not to learn what you are not good at. The consequences of spells and backlash are difficult to bear]

When Cha Bai thought about the script of "The Witcher", he had read some books, which told many stories about the elves.

It is mentioned that the greatest advantage of elves is that they have a strong perception of natural magic and their physical fitness is also quite good.

Among them, Ain Savini is the most famous elf mage. He is simply called "The Saint".

Later, Ciri inherited the ancient blood, which was considered one of the bloodlines left by the elves.

Cha Bai now has the blessing of ancient blood, but...she found a personal list, and it seemed that she could only adapt to space compression, which meant that she was not affected by teleportation spells.

"You still have to continue developing it, right?"

She continued to read about "Elven Bloodline".

[[-]. Elves can still reproduce with humans and tree elves. The union of elves and humans is always going on. But unfortunately, your (Chabai) body has undergone too many transformations and has no relevant functions for the time being. Maybe wait. As you become more proficient in magic, you will become a weirder elf, such as the "Bayonetta Mechanical Combat Elf"]

Seeing this, she remembered a piece of knowledge she learned at the Sorceress's Holy See.

That is the greatest weakness of the elves.

In "The Witcher", there is a reason why the individually powerful elves were finally defeated by humans. Although they are far superior to humans in lifespan, magical talent and understanding of the world, they are in a crucial aspect. Disadvantage - Fertility.

Although elves live for centuries, they can only bear children in their youth.

Even so, only one out of every two to three couples is successful in conceiving a child.

Humans, on the other hand, don't need much... Their abilities in this area are very impressive. There are very few creatures that are in estrus every minute of the year.

[[-]. You already have a long, long lifespan and a face that never ages. Since your native world has become part of the reality script, this ability of yours will also be preserved in reality]

"The native world has become part of the reality script... What does this sentence mean..."

Cha Bai frowned.

She couldn't read it a little bit.

But at least what I can know is that I may have to live for hundreds of years.

While Cha Bai was feeling relieved, Marjie came to the space.

Li Nuo was currently dismantling the weapon box given to him by Yacol.

According to Jacol, it is filled with weapons she has collected, which should include all the weapons in "NieR Automata" and "Riders on Dragon's Back".

But this box cannot be opened no matter what.

"Should you try violent dismantling?"

Marger made a particularly constructive offer.

Li Nuo wanted to tear him down.

Jacol's box is a hidden prop, so it can't be treated casually.

15 minute later.

These two guys blew up the box.

Sometimes you have to admire the judgment of a mechanical prosthetic doctor.

The box was blown away by the impact of the grenade, hit the wall, and opened on its own.

"I don't know if it was opened by the impact of the explosion, or if it hit the wall on its own." Li Nuo walked towards the charred box with doubts.

"Anyway, keep it in mind that if you are in doubt, just have an explosion and everything will be solved." Marjie followed with an awkward rhyme.

Inside the box were piles and piles of promotional pictures.

A bunch of orders for weapons.

Li Nuo picked up one with a feeling of being deceived by Jacol.

What was written on the order was: "Summer sale~ Discarded mechanical hoods only need..."

He tore up the order with empty eyes.

"It's over, I forgot that Jacol is a businessman..."

No prostitutes.

cheated...

Just when Li Nuo was thinking this.

[The order for the mechanical headgear has been torn off and the order is invalid. It will be returned to the hands of the merchant in the mall]

"Huh? Can you still play like this?"

Li Nuo clicked on Tombstone Mall.

I saw a strange-shaped mechanical hood lying in the mall slot, and the message on the back was: Free extraction.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

He smiled.

Marger thought this guy was mentally ill.

Next, the two began to tear up the order...

"It is true that they are all weapons and props that have appeared in the game. Yacol really abides by the agreement." Li Nuo tore up an order for a tactical knife: "But fundamentally speaking, the quality of most of the weapons is really average. "

The good things are those from Yorha Force, mainly based on the auxiliary chips.

The more useful thing is actually drawings.

The proportion of drawings here is about 10%.

Includes Yorha unit's auxiliary aircraft, combat mechas and tactical exteriors.

In other words, weapons can be obtained directly from the mall for free, but armor and auxiliary props need to be manufactured.

Marger, who was in charge of manufacturing, was in a bit of trouble.

"can't read."

Three simple words express the helplessness of life...

"Then why are you here?"

Li Nuo asked.

Marger said: "Huh... here's the thing, I got a study book on 'Magic Technology'."

Li Nuo: "That's a good thing."

Marjie said: "But I don't understand... In other words, it takes a long time to learn. The weapons and armors in the world view of "NieR" are all related to magic. As long as we do it right, we can learn from the field of science and technology. One step to magical technology.”

Li Nuo listened and understood that it would take time. Anyway, the harvest of the script this time was substantial enough.The gold coins are enough for them to wander around for a while, so they can rest a little longer before the next script.

After tearing through dozens of orders, there were several special props placed at the bottom of the box.

[Cairo Star’s Memory Light Wave Camera]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: After ten hours of solar charging, you can use it to take a photo. As long as the person's magic power is not higher than 10, a specific memory can be erased]

[Brief description: It seems that a certain Cairo space adventure team left something in the Kingdom of Night in "NieR" and was picked up by Yacol]

……

【Cairo star's synthetic hammer】

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: The prerequisite for use is that you need to have a synthetic forging platform. Because the probability of synthesis is low, most players dare not use it casually. Yes, I am talking about you who are reading this paragraph, but don’t worry now. Yes, this hammer is awesome. It can increase the synthesis rate to 90%. What are you waiting for? Come and try it! 】

[Brief description: Xiao Ming was sitting on the synthetic forging table with an iron rod. When he was hesitating about which synthetic iron rod to get, a hammer fell from the sky and smashed him and the iron rod together. Later, Xiao Ming became a counterattack To Pinocchio]

……

"Artifact!"

Li Nuo's eyes lit up.

They have a synthetic forging platform, which they got after cracking the mission related to Mr. Cairo.

Since there is a chance that the equipment will be scrapped, I have never dared to use it casually.

He couldn't wait to try it, such as smashing Marger and the fire dragon together.

But when he thought about it, his jumping brain started to work again.

"By the way, now do you want to combine the 'Shadow Elder' and the 'Blue Fire Dragon'?"

Li Nuo took out two elf balls and placed them on the ground.

The [Fusion MOD Poké Ball] used to conquer the Shadow Elder cannot be used directly. It must be fused with a creature in a certain Poké Ball.

The script takes into account the possibility of facing the Flower of Destruction.

The dragon that restrains the stamen is just needed.

So there is no synthesis.

Who knows what will come out.

But now, I can try it.

Li Nuo glanced at the elf ball containing the Cang Fire Dragon.

After the battle with N2, Cang Fire Dragon was promoted to level 34, which is still two levels short of the evolutionary line level 36.

Li Nuo thought about it for a while and decided to see if there was anything in the mall that could cultivate the "elf" level.

If it is the combination of Silver Fire Dragon, the evolved form of Blue Fire Dragon, and Shadow Elder, he might be able to create something even more mysterious and powerful that could explode. Then he would no longer be a demon hunter, but wouldn't it be nice to be an animal tamer? It saves me from having to run out and fight all the time.

"Li Nuo... don't be obscene first." Marjie interrupted Li Nuo's artistic creation, picked up the last two remaining cards in the box, and said: "Look at these two, I don't understand. Yes, but...it's important."

Two white cards, one with words and one without words.

Li Nuo picked up the wordless card and a large explanation popped up in front of his eyes:

[Fate Modifier: The world of "NieR" is trapped in an infinite loop. Yacol cannot enter certain world anchor points. The reason is not that she is restricted by her native world, but that her established destiny is being peeped by the "Fate Modifier". As a native of this world, Yacol cannot disobey the guidance of the "Fate Modifier"]

[A certain Yacol gave his fate to others and got rid of the "Fate Modifier", causing the new timeline to change]

[There are now 5900 players. You have taken the "Fate Modifier", which will change your destiny one day]

"Do you understand?" Marger asked.

"I probably understand." Li Nuo put the card on the ground: "'Fate Modifier' is a new thing in "Final Fantasy 7 Reset". Its function is to prevent the characters in the second game from changing the plot direction of the first game, except Except for defeating it with hard power, or some special means that do not belong to the crystal world, the 'Fate Modifier' has no solution, but it can explain why the world of "NieR" is endlessly looping, but Yacol has no solution at all. There is no other way.”

Marger nodded: "In other words, the huge star above the Kingdom of Night is the planet of "Final Fantasy 7". The 'Fate Modifier' from that planet subtly affects the fate of the world of "NieR", but that person The special Miss Jacquel, because of your intervention, or the player's intervention, has been entrusted with fate. But fate has come to you, and you don't know what will happen in the future to change some of the endings, right?"

Li Nuo lowered his head, touched his upper lip with his right thumb, slid it to his chin, and then shook his head.

"No... It should be said that if "NieR" and our "Cairo World" are the same world view, "Final Fantasy" is also our world view, so the 'Fate Modifier' may affect me, doesn't that mean... "

Marger also understood.

The two raised their heads, their eyes facing each other, excitement bursting from the inside out.

Marger: "Tifa!"

Li Nuo: "Claude!"

The two of them were silent. Although they were talking about characters from the same world, their purposes were very different.

Li Nuo: "I said, shouldn't you be excited about Claude's weapons? If you catch up with the Cairo Stars, you might have a chance to get his weapons directly in reality."

Marjie: "A well-fed man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry."

Cha Bai walked out of the back room and had already changed into loose clothes.

"What did you two say?"

Li Nuo pointed to the sky: "The eldest sister and brother-in-law of your Jerusalem clan are here."

Cha Bai looked at the two people and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Marjie asked: "Miss Chabai, how do you feel now?"

Cha Bai pointed to the magic book on the floor in the room and said with a smile: "Very good, I'm about to read the magic book that I couldn't understand before."

She is much livelier.

While the two were chatting, the silent Li Nuo picked up the last note in the box.

This is not a system prop.

were the words Jacquel left for him.

"Li Nuo, it's okay to call me that. The last message is not a thank you, it's just a reminder. Inside the threshold, I saw something lingering behind you. An old gentleman wearing a top hat. He looked at you like Peering into an intangible delicacy, I can see that your data are overlapping, and maybe one day, he will come to you."

"Top Hat makes me feel more evil than anything in the world, and more depressing than the reincarnation and pain of this world. He is a devil, right?"

"Please be careful and have a safe journey."

"Jacol, January 11942, 1."

Li Nuo held the note in his hand.

"Mirror Master..."

……

"Neil".

In the small town of the Resistance near the coastal factory, Annabel was inspecting machinery and equipment when someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me~"

Yacol's voice appeared outside the door for the first time in a long time.

Annabel opened the door, holding the cigarette rod in her mouth, looking at Jacquel who had broken an arm, looking up and down, and then laughed.

"Oh my God, the last time I saw you was more than ten years ago."

"Hey, it should have been 15 years ago."

Jacol walked into the room familiarly and found a chair to sit down.

"As a weapons supplier, you never showed up. I thought you were dead." Annabel sat opposite her, crossed her legs and smiled: "Oh, you are alive and well, just a broken arm, I am here There is a new product, do you want me to install an arm with a screwdriver for you?”

"No need." Yacol shrugged his shoulders: "I'm here because I have something to give you."

"Well, new goods?" Annabell said: "Don't worry, first tell me what you have been doing these past years."

"Me? It took me 15 years to come back, set up some special historical anchors, and see if there were any changes in the future."

"What story are you talking about?"

"If it's a story, do you want to hear it, about the future of the world?"

Annabel was silent for a few seconds and nodded.

"Ever since the peace contract was signed in 11946, Taiping has been very boring recently, so you might as well listen."

Yacol licked his lips, snapped his fingers, and used magic element to create a diary.

Put the bookshelf on your lap.

With one hand, she opened the diary and read:

"It took me 15 years to find the space-time fragments of contact from that planet, and I finally returned here. Everything is as usual. The trajectory of history has not changed much, but the changes in some things are very interesting."

"In 11946, the mechanical life forms signed a peace contract with the human army. The leader was supposed to be a robot named Pascal, but because A2 related to Pascal went to that world in 11942, this history changed. "

"Among the peace representatives, there is a little guy who replaced Pascal. Unlike Pascal, who likes philosophy, this little guy likes 'art' more."

"In 12263, the development of mechanical life forms changed because of 'art'. The nobles set the search for the artistic cartoonist 'Li Nuo' as the essence of their lifelong research."

"In 12306, the existence of York City and the sleeping of the mechanical life form polymer N2 prevented artificial humans from leaving the earth on a large scale."

"In 15006, the only unexpected development of the four timelines of No. 30 occurred. In the steel city, a strange virus appeared. I called it 'cyber psychosis', but the artificial people confirmed that it was 'logic' virus' variants."

"In 15933, a certain emir witnessed a white-haired girl dressed in black. She didn't seem to be 2B, but she looked very similar."

"17607, desert city..."

"Stop." Annabel stopped Jacol, twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and said, "I've heard enough, it's very exciting, stop talking, just hand over what you want to give me."

"Do you still remember Li Nuo?" Jacol asked.

Annabel thought for a moment, then pretended not to be impressed and said, "Fifteen years ago, there seemed to be such a boy who came over with his little lover and asked me for help."

Jacol put the note that Li Nuo handed over before leaving on the table.

"Come and see for yourself what he gave me more than ten years ago."

Annabel reached out and grabbed the note without thinking. She clearly remembered the agreement Li Nuo left before leaving town.

On the note, there is a text written:
——"I'm sorry, Ms. Annabell, I didn't find Xing Kai, but I promised to be with him forever, and I will continue to look for him until he comes to see you, until death (﹁﹁)."

Just these short words made Annabell wait for 15 years.

"I can't see the time when travelers from other worlds are involved, so Annabel, I'm sorry, but I still have to see some of the future on my own." After Jacol finished speaking, he stood up, tilted his head and smiled: "goodbye."

When Annabell came to her senses, she was alone in the room again.

She stood up and put the man's picture into the fire.

Annabell raised her head in confusion, no longer looking at the memories burned in the fire.

She touched the mechanical cheek where the skin was exposed.

Warm and a little moist.

"With your words, I don't need to live with photos anymore. Don't lie to me, Li Nuo."

……

Jacol is walking outside the town.

The second purpose of her coming here is right in front of her.

A group of players from a certain corridor are sitting on the rocks.

"Hey~ It seems that you have just arrived, right?"

The group of players looked over.

Someone recognized Jacol.

The girl takes off her glasses.

"Now, I have a task for you, which you must do~"

The players are quite excited.

Many people know the "weight" of Jacol in the world of "NieR".

Jacquel took to heart the advice Li Nuo gave her.

Create difficulties for this group of aliens, and their potential is endless - Li Nuo.

Jacol: "Suicide."

……

This scene was played on a TV.

The man turned off the TV with the remote control.

"It's quite magical."

The woman came out of the door.

"The air conditioner has been fixed."

The man smiled and pointed to the seat opposite.

"Angel, I have a plan, an interesting plan about [Remnants of Blood], [Explorers], [Focusers], [Rescuers] and the people of Cairo."

The woman named Angel sat down with empty eyes.

"My dear King, you (TM) don't want to interfere with the script, do you?"

(End of this chapter)
