As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 221: You can’t be serious in daily life, absolutely not

[You cannot leave temporarily]

When Li Nuo tried to leave the "Endless Corridor", he was startled by the sound of the system.

He tried again.

[You cannot leave temporarily]

Li Nuo gritted his teeth and shouted into the void:

"I'm still in Greenland!"

"The flight is the day after tomorrow!"

Since the time of the real-life script is synchronized with life,... Li Nuo might have been left in Greenland if it had been later.

No matter how many wild roads there are, being alone in a foreign country is nothing more than a lonely wild dog.

What's more, the return ticket is really not cheap...

Cha Bai sat on the steps, holding his soft chin, tilting his pupils, and said: "Stop making trouble, wait for the system prompts, if it doesn't work, I will mobilize the uncle and aunt of the Go club to raise funds for you to bring you back. "

Li Nuo looked at her resentfully: "You are quite familiar with them..."

"Well, Aunt Wang brings me meals every day." Cha Bai nodded: "There are also a few uncles who always tell me about your bad character."

Li Nuoxu stared: "What did those old immortals say?"

Cha Bai said: "If this child wasn't sick, he would have been beaten to death long ago."

She laughed out loud and said, "This kid is very pleasing to the eye when he doesn't talk. But when he talks, he's ruined."

The more Cha Bai talked, the happier he became: "This kid's brain is really crazy. He is the only one who can turn the chess club into a chess and card room. If he hadn't been sick, he would have been arrested long ago..."

"Tch..." Li Nuo clenched his fists: "They don't want to hold a sponsored meeting, do they..."

"Li Nuo?"

"what……?"

"Are they your friends?" Cha Bai asked.

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "At best, we can be regarded as twilight partners who go to the grave hand in hand."

"Don't you have friends of the same age?" Cha Bai asked.

"No." Li Nuo added: "Marjie is special. He is between a friend and someone who must be squeezed. However, I hope that this friendless state will be carried to the grave."

When Li Nuo was talking, he subconsciously looked at the tombstones placed at the edge of the courtyard, and said with a hint of ridicule: "I just happened to be carrying a coffin board, so I saved money on buying a cemetery."

Cha Bai: "That day will never happen."

Li Nuo looked over.

Cha Bai is very serious.

A click.

A few birds flew out of the clock tower in the distance, the clock ticked, and the apparently white sky suddenly turned into darkness as if a light cord had been pulled down.

The narration sounded: "As the sun sets and darkness falls, the street lights turn on. The lights are dim and yellow, like a woodshed in the mountains. That day, the boy and the girl are speechless to each other, and the clouds are covered with a layer of dim mist, just like the boy. Just like the coffin on my back..."

boom!
Li Nuo fired a shot in the direction of the narrator.

Marjie on the second floor of the side courtyard fell down the window...

"Why are you pretending to be a narrator!"

Marger stood up, spit out the bullet, and gritted his teeth against the iron fence that separated the two courtyards.

"I'm charging you up, you bastard!"

[Memory fragments have been collected]

System charging ends...

[Now, the data stream about Basel is being transmitted]

[Please accept memory fragments]

As their brains felt cool and a large amount of information poured into their minds, an extra panel appeared in front of Li Nuo and the others.

[Basel area: an area formed by a script due to special reasons]

[Main function: Hosting the "Endless Corridor" players' shelter. Because some players have difficulty living in this world or are hunted down, they use this place as their permanent residence. If the fixed residence mode is turned on, the monthly gold coins paid is 6000. And you need to find a job in the aboriginal area of ​​​​Basel City (you can’t always have a job)]

[The function of teleporting back to the original world will be enabled after 20 minutes]

[It takes about 72 hours to register your identity]

[During this period, small-scale activities are allowed]

[Upgraded shops and other facilities are temporarily closed today]

"Is this what you mean by the pyramid-structured guild system?" Li Nuo squatted in front of the tombstone.

Just now, Miles and Su Mei from the "Neil" script added him as friends, clicked to confirm, and then put it aside and stopped caring about it.

"I wonder how Shou Brother is doing?" Li Nuo clicked on Chen Shou's contact email and sent a message: "Scream if you're alive."

Then he stood up and tidied his backpack.

Regarding this reality script, something has undergone a rather special change.

【Vampire Dragon】

[Consume one "Pixel Rough Stone" to change into the Cairo pixel form. In this form, you can use the skill "Pixel Flame"]

[Pixel Flame: Parts of the body of the hit target are randomly pixelated, and the ability to recover is temporarily lost]

It is worth mentioning that according to other annotations, the vampire dragon in this form will become a "dragon lady" in the eyes of the people of Cairo.

Li Nuo felt excited just thinking about it.

Regarding [Pixel Rough Stone], Chabai collected 4 pieces in the mine area under the lava field.

Li Nuo felt very sorry. If he had 400 yuan, he would have immediately replaced Marjie with an Armstrong revolving gun, but you have to say that Chabai's shit luck is at least one Jerusalem better than that of the Lancer.

She also got 12 pieces of equipment upgrade materials in the mine, which are [wedge-shaped stones].

In this way, at least they don't have to worry about spending money to buy materials in the mall.

Women hold up half the sky.

What is feminism.

This is called female boxing.

He can box, raise dragons, pick up stones, increase experience points, and use the Death Eye.

With such a woman, what man would want to work hard?

It's good to be trash.

Li Nuo secretly decided that as long as the problem with her electric motor was solved, he would immediately give Chabai a relic from his mother's past.

All that's left is to take a look inside Basel City and get at least some basic information.

"Let's go~"

Li Nuo changed his clothes and prepared to set off.

The current appearance of the courtyard has undergone some strange changes.

First, the dead trees in the courtyard sprouted new buds.

There are several more floor-to-ceiling windows in the house, and the building's appearance is no longer so gloomy, with pipes crawling on it.

There is an extra aisle about two meters long on the back half of the building. At the end is a 1.5-meter-high fence gate, which can be pushed open to get out.

Basel is considered a large mechanical city.

The entire city is floating in the air and is composed of multiple strata. The roads are not wide and are surrounded by steam-mechanical-style houses. Layers of steel bars are placed in the sky, blocking the starlight. There are tall towers standing in the distance.

magic.

mechanical.

cramped.

This was the first impression Basel gave them.

The passers-by were wearing normal "modern" clothes, and Li Nuo used a mask to detect them. They were all aborigines, and their attribute values ​​were higher than those in his own world. He could infer that this was a city with a fantasy worldview.

The moment he walked out of the courtyard, the original space building behind him turned into a small bungalow.

The panel popped up:

[Note: After the player becomes a "Citizen of Basel", space buildings and courtyards will randomly select an open space to enter the Basel area. As your level increases, the area is unlocked and new properties can be purchased in the new area]

[Dududu——Purchasing a house requires a large amount of money, which is difficult to collect in a short period of time, so the house purchase transaction adopts the installment payment method. The final total expenditure of the installment payment is generally more than the total amount of the one-time payment. You can...]

Li Nuo closed the panel that suddenly popped up: "It's too inappropriate."

Marger: "But it makes sense."

Cha Bai said casually: "What you say is reasonable in this kind of world is itself unreasonable."

Li Nuo and Marjie were both shocked. How come Cha Bai became more and more down-to-earth!

"Wait a moment, I'll change clothes."

Cha Bai was the last one to come out. In order to cover up her appearance, she put on the long dress she wore in "The Witcher" and wore a wasteland-style gas mask, which made her look even more perverted.

"Chabai...I said...you have pretty good aesthetics..." Li Nuo praised her.

"It would be bad to be recognized. Aren't there players everywhere here?" Cha Bai touched his hair: "Why don't you dye your white hair..."

Marjie panicked: "No! Gray hair is faith!"

Chabai: "..."

Li Nuo joked casually: "How about just shaving my head."

Chabai: "...hmm"

Then nodded: "Yeah."

She is seriously considering shaving her hair bald.

After all, MOD clothes also have wigs.

"Stop making trouble." Li Nuo clicked on a new panel that appeared, and there was a city map: "There is a grocery store nearby... and a weapons merchant's guild... Why do I always feel like I am playing an RPG game."

At this time, a passerby passed by.

They could hear passers-by saying, "Here comes a new one."

"Is this a world where aborigines and players live together?" Li Nuo raised his eyes and licked his lips: "Catch one for consultation..."

[Warning [-]: Do not do anything that harms the indigenous people]

[Warning [-]: Do not carry out sabotage activities against Basel]

[Unless you work in Basel for three years and buy a house in full...]

Li Nuote let out a helpless sigh: "Buying a house is going to be difficult, right?"

Marjie suddenly touched his chin and whispered to himself: "I see..."

"What's wrong?" Cha Bai was curious.

"It's nothing." Marjie said, "I just tried to kill Li Nuo."

Li Nuo: "?"

"Then a panel like this popped up." Marjie released the panel.

[Warning [-]: Players are not allowed to attack each other in residential areas]

Chabai suddenly realized: "In other words, there is an area where players are allowed to attack each other." Marjie smiled and said: "Humph, what Miss Chabai said is absolutely true."

Li Nuo's eyes widened: "No...that's not the point. Did you just want to kill me?"

Marger: “Isn’t that why I want the panel to show up?”

Li Nuo gritted his teeth: "You are absolutely serious!"

While fighting and fussing, the three of them followed the map and stepped onto the stone-paved path.

The weapon shops on the street sell various weapons and equipment at relatively affordable prices. For example, a kitchen knife with lightning enchantment only costs 5000 gold coins. Yes, you heard me right, affordable.

When purchasing weapons of the same quality in the mall, you need to add a zero.

"You guys are so stingy."

The owner of the shop is a bald man. When he said this, the system thoughtfully popped up a panel in front of the player.

[Players and indigenous people in Basel City are interdependent, which is a normal phenomenon in any corridor]

[The gold coins of the Endless Corridor are converted to the gold coins of the world on a one-to-one basis]

[Weapons and equipment obtained by players that are not in use can be sold to the indigenous people here, but the price cannot exceed 500 gold coins]

This is a disguised protection measure.

I hope players don’t die because they can’t pay monthly gold coins.

On the other hand, it urges players to die in the script.

According to the boss's description, something happened here hundreds of years ago, which led to the entry of "players" and an interdependent relationship with the indigenous people. At the same time, Basel became digitized, and a large number of new areas appeared. Like a puzzle getting bigger and bigger.

More, the boss doesn’t know. It’s like something is controlling something in his brain. When he says something, he will make a “beep——” sound.

Li Nuo suddenly realized when he walked out of the store: "Basel, a city in the sky, a mechanical city, let me tell you, it turns out to be "The End of Eternity"."

Marger was confused: "What?"

Li Nuo: "An unpopular game."

Marjie complained: "Even you think it's unpopular, so it must be colder than my heart."

"Can you please stop telling cold jokes..." Li Nuo paused and said, "Anyway, this should be a city in that game... I don't know what happened, but it became a gathering area for players."

The problem now is that the area where they can move is only one street, and there is an air wall blocking them.

In addition, people who are unfamiliar with the place where they live have many restrictions and dare not show off and use their methods casually.

So, the three simply went back first and came back after the 72-hour player registration was completed.

Cha Bai felt a little lonely. She had just changed into serious clothes and had to go back within two steps. It was like putting on a swimsuit and finding that the pool was out of water.

After returning, new news came from Li Nuo's tombstone.

……

[Registration progress 5%]

[Basic description of Basel City:]

[Divided into areas below lv60 and areas lv60~lv80 according to player level]

[Basel is a stepped city]

[The upper level belongs to the wealthy area of ​​lv60~lv80, while the lower level is the slums below lv60. There is a huge mineral vein at the bottom of the city, which is the working area of ​​the aborigines]

[The further you go to the lower levels, the more difficult people’s lives become, and the public security becomes worse and worse. Monsters will jump out to attack players from time to time, which is referred to as “landmine stepping”]

……

[Due to the different levels between players, in most cases, in order to protect the privacy of low-level players, the activity areas are staggered]

[The current level limit for players is 80. You need to complete the annual player competition to break the 80-level mark. Please wait until the registration is completed for details]

……

[Players can go to the elevators in each area, try to farm monsters in the huge mineral vein area, and have a chance to obtain upgrade materials]

[After the materials are handed over to the designated player weapon workshop, exclusive weapons can be customized according to the player's situation. Upgrades before player equipment reaches +6 or +7 are also transferred to the Basel regional weapon workshop. As the level is unlocked , you are receiving less and less digital protection, so you need to go to the weapon workshop in person to place an order to upgrade equipment]

[The above areas require you to register before you can access them]

……

All in all, this bunch of news can be summed up simply as follows - players will have less and less protection from the system.

Li Nuo closed the information panel and briefly narrated the story of "The End of Eternity".

The toxin-filled atmosphere stagnates on the ground. The earth loses the concept of time due to the distortion of its axis. The environment and ecology undergo drastic changes, and humankind is on the verge of extinction.

Human beings whose lives were threatened began to study survival strategies, so they built the huge machine "Basel" and buried it in the earth, leaving the fate of the earth and mankind to the management of the machine.

The upper level of Basel is a wealthy area with religious facilities and the ruling class, while the lower level is composed of slums and huge mineral veins. Over the years, Basel has slowly begun to lose its ability to maintain the environment, and the people living inside have also begun to lose their ability to maintain the environment. I began to forget the functions of Basel and the reason for living in Basel.

"Maybe a certain player did something that caused the game script of "The End of Eternity" to become abnormal and become an 'Endless Corridor' or something like that."

Li Nuo didn't think much about it. Anyway, this place only has three functions.

Upgrade your equipment.

Inquire about news.

hostel.

The main battlefield is still the real world and the script world.

Neither Li Nuo nor Marjie will give up their role in reality. At best, this is called not forgetting one's roots. At worst, there are things that one cares about.

As for Cha Bai, she doesn't care. After the caged bird spreads its wings and flies high, anywhere can be home.

Li Nuo originally planned to check the mailbox again, but the second ten minutes had already arrived.

Marger left the space first, he still had to go to work.

Li Nuo released the vampire dragon and then left the space, preparing to deal with the problem of being in Greenland.

Cha Bai had nothing to do, so he went to the back room to read.

Two hours later.

Li Nuo came back with a dark face.

When Cha Bai saw him like this, he knew 100% that something was wrong, and it was something that needed money to solve.

"Damn it..." Li Nuo said with a look of hopelessness: "The people from Cairo sent us back two days later than expected, and the tour group left long ago... I was left behind in the Arctic Circle. …”

"What should we do?" Cha Bai closed the book.

"What else can we do? Just stay in space for now... wait until it gets dark over there, go to the embassy, ​​or find a way to raise money."

Li Nuo was particularly worried. Although he looked ruthless and looked like a madman, he was usually a neutral and lawful good citizen. After all, he had never been in trouble.

Cha Bai let out a sigh of relief, opened the book and continued reading, and said casually: "It's okay, I'll stay with you."

Li Nuo: "If you want to eat something, I'll make it for you."

Cha Bai: "Hmm... fish."

After saying this, Chabai's time in space has come to an end.

She disappears suddenly.

Li Nuo looked at the deserted yard, lowered his face and sat by the flower pond.

"Crap..."

……

The first thing Chabai did after returning to reality was to send a message to Marjie.

"Li Nuo can't come back. It seems he is short of money."

"Give me a few minutes, I have an idea."

Seeing what Marjie said, Chabai breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Brother Ma may be considered neurotic, his efficiency in getting things done is as high as that of an evil god.

She put down the phone and heard someone knocking on the door.

Three long and one short.

Li Nuo had told her that the three long and one short knocks on the door were the character of Aunt Zhao downstairs, so there was no need to open the door with a kitchen knife.

Chabai remembers.

Didn't take the kitchen knife.

In order to prevent the person outside the door from taking a gun, she looked out a few centimeters through the peephole to confirm that the curly-haired woman was outside, and then she opened the door with peace of mind.

"I mean, girl, you don't wear any pants at home!" Aunt Wang is a nice person, but she has a loud voice.

Cha Bai didn't care about these old guys at all.

"I……"

"I'm here just in time. Bring some pants for Xiao Nuo, or you can wear them." Aunt Zhao handed a paper bag to Chabai.

Auntie has never had any children in her life. When Li Nuo was a child, his parents fought and he always came to her house to eat.

Whether the person is good or bad is another matter, but at least he is kind to Li Nuo.

The purpose of her coming was simply to take a look at Li Nuo's sunset love. Looking at the tea-white appearance, the aunt was quite satisfied.

"Why can't you look away from this girl..." The aunt left a sentence that made Cha Bai confused and left.

In the paper bag is a pair of woolen trousers.

Chabai is even more messy...

"It seems to be summer now..."

She placed the bag in the house and Marjie’s message came through her phone.

"Hmph, look in Li Nuo's phone book. He must have kept a bunch of 'victim lists'. If you send the following information out one by one, you will definitely be able to collect the money to get him back."

"My dear Li Nuo, I just received a call and learned that I won the first prize in the 2030 Cartoonist Competition. I need to go to Greenland to receive the trophy. I am still short of 2000 yuan in air tickets. If you sponsor me, I will use your image as my next One of the protagonists of this comic, Card Number..."

Cha Bai threw the phone on the sofa.

"Marger...!"

While she was gritting her teeth, a strange phone number came on her phone.

A male voice came from the other side: "Excuse me, am I the one to carry the uncle?"

I carry the uncle is the comic pen name of Li Nuo.

Chabai: "No."

"Then you are..."

"family."

"Ah, that's it. Please ask me, sir..."

"He is temporarily inconvenienced."

"Then please tell him that Cairo Comics has a contract with him and wants to talk to him about forming an internet celebrity boy band..."

Beep...

Cha Bai hung up the phone before the other party finished speaking.

"Isn't there a decent daily life in this world?"
