Chapter 227 An Unimagined Script
  [The mission has ended]

Cha Bai bent over and sat on the chair.

The short white hair will cover the ears, the soft white lightness depicts the delicate outline, and the lips are lightly pressed and asked with a hint of bitterness:

“小宁中午放学回家自己煮面条吃，有下面几道工序：1、洗锅盛水2分钟；2、洗菜6分钟；3、准备面条及佐料2分钟；4、用锅把水烧开10分钟；5、煮面条和菜共3分钟.以上各道工序除4之外，一次只能进行一道工序，小宁要将面条煮好，最少用多少分钟……”

"Li Nuo, can you do it?"

There were six players in total, sitting quietly on chairs.

Li Nuo looked at Cha Bai faintly.

"It's not a question of whether it will happen or not...it's a question of what exactly is going on with this mission..."

During Chabai's days in Chaomeng, he skipped eating and sleeping, only studying.

Others can skip the timeline when watching.

Relying on the remaining artificial memory of the Yoroha Army, the college entrance examination was not unacceptable to her. One month seemed short. As long as she awakened her sleeping thinking and memory, she might be able to take the second grade exam.

The issue is……

On the day of the college entrance examination, she put on her old school uniform, which had a cheat sheet sewn inside by the original owner.

After being judged as cheating by the system, he was expelled from the examination room.

Nanami said suspiciously: "At least we can know now that there is no punishment even if the mission fails."

"But it's too difficult..." Li Nuo had a bad feeling: "Maybe we have to wait until everyone has completed the task before scoring. If the score is too low, it will have irreversible consequences."

"Hahaha... not necessarily." Brother Blackjack, who was wearing a Page mask, smiled cheerfully but helplessly: "Didn't the system say that this is a job selection task, which is considered a prologue... Wait... If you think so, My analysis makes sense."

"What do you mean?" Su Mei asked.

"Humph, picking up trash is a profession, and so is being president."

After Marger finished speaking, everyone fell silent again.

Brother Ma touched the bridge of his nose and said deeply: "You can see what everyone is going through on the big screen. Maybe the system allows us to find a way to pass the level from each person. There are six people in total, the first five are all mock exams, and the last one is This is the final exam, and everyone’s career will be determined based on the results of the final exam. We must carefully observe the details next, and there must be a way to crack it.”

After hearing this, Brother Black Jack nodded slightly in surprise and said, "This friend must be an expert in solving puzzles."

"Hmph..." Brother Ma: "It's okay."

Li Nuo didn't hear it. There was a big flaw in Marjie's statement.

This task is not as complicated as imagined. It is the literal meaning of the system: pass the test or fail the test, and then give the job according to the performance.

It seems difficult...

[Player No. [-] please be prepared]

When a sound appeared in the system, a green light appeared under Marger's feet.

Everyone looked at the big screen.

What Marger saw was reflected on the screen.

An abstract oil painting of the human body is hung on the wall, and a solid wood desk and a boss chair with detailed carvings of European patterns sit quietly in the corner.

Books, desk lamps, ashtrays, notebooks and pens are all placed on the heavy bedside table.

On the luxurious bed, he raised his thin and delicate hand.

Scan around again.

The room actually has a 19th century European style.

The guy Marger plays is rich, as he should be.

However, his physical condition was not very good. Although he was waving his arms vigorously, a feeling of weakness controlled his whole body.

crunch--

The wooden door was pushed open.

[Mission: Survive]

[Remaining time: six hours]

Gada——

Fuzzy footsteps.

A man in black robes and a white mask stood at the door.

On the screen, because the sick man played by Marjie has blurred vision, the feedback screen is surrounded by gradient black corners.

Li Nuo, Cha Bai and Nanami, under the influence of body transformation and mutation factors, could see more clearly.

What is going on with this mission? Li Nuo needs to see the answer from Marjie.

Apart from anything else, although Ma Ge's actions are outrageous and absurd, his practical ability is incredible. He believes that Ma Ge can find the key guidance for the mission.

In the picture, the black figure walked over step by step.

Judging from the way she walks and the sound of her high heels clicking, she is a woman...

The woman held a gold-rimmed tray in her hand. She walked gracefully to the bedside and placed the tray on the bedside table.

She bowed down, her long hair falling from her hood, and the warm light outside the window gave her hair a layer of gold. The aroma flowed into Marger's nose along her hair.

The woman stretched out her fair and delicate hands and gently touched the face of the guy played by Marger.

"Sorry for you..."

Her voice is infinitely soft.

On the tray, there was a bowl with fine European patterns and gold rims.

"Dalang."

"Drink the medicine."

Li Nuo, who was watching the film, almost collapsed.

One thing to mention here is that in terms of culture and nationality, only he, Marjie and Su Mei here know what "Dalang drinks medicine" is.

However, the "Black Jack" brother also trembled, which meant that he also knew.

Li Nuo didn't panic.

Although Maljie is colored, the general outline can be clearly distinguished.

As long as this woman is not Marjie's weakness, such as a mature woman.

On the screen, the woman saw that Marjie refused to open his mouth, so she put the medicine bowl on the table.

Then he tied his hands around the soft lines of his waist, exposing the curve of his hips to everyone's eyes, and slowly sat by the window.

She gently lifted up her skirt, revealing her black stockings that reflected the light outside the window.

She slowly took Marger's weak right hand and placed it on her lap.

He took off the white mask with his left hand.

A pair of moving eyes like an elk stared dreamily.

The mature woman's face that couldn't be hidden slowly approached Marjie and blew a breath into his ear.

"Drink, and I will let you..."

One minute later.

[The mission has ended]

Marger covered his forehead and gritted his teeth: "Damn it... the medicine is poisonous! If only I were a demon hunter!"

No one complained, not even Nanami.

The silence lasted for less than ten seconds, and Mr. Blackjack said: "That... everyone... this mission... is so strange."

Su Mei took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath: "What exactly does the system want us to do?"

She looked at Li Nuo.

"Ah... I don't know." Li Nuo shook his head slightly: "I really don't know, maybe it's like the system said, we will be assigned occupations based on our behavior during the mission..."

Su Mei exhaled a puff of smoke sadly: "There are two professions now, students and perverts."

Marjie retorted: "My name is mature woman control."

No one cares about him.

Su Mei speculated: "Perhaps...as the mission continues, various professions will be unlocked for the six of us to choose from."

Li Nuo secretly thought that this might not be the case. Sometimes the system would have serious problems. Word games and nonsensical tasks might appear.

Don't think too much at this time.

Before coming to the script, Marjie and Chabai told him not to think too much.

Maybe it’s time to clear the sulcus in your brain.

[Player No. [-] please be prepared]

This time it was Nanami who had the green light under her feet.

"I try to live a little while longer."

After Nanami finished speaking, her consciousness entered Mewtwo.

She came into a world of over-saturation.

In other words... it's an anime world, and the surrounding scenery is in the style of hand-drawn cartoons from the [-]s.

Li Nuo touched his chin while watching: "It looks familiar..."

Su Mei on the side suddenly clapped her hands: "I know which world it is!"

——Pika Pika!
  As the cute cry suddenly appeared, from Nanami's perspective, a yellow electric mouse came out from behind the bushes.

Then, Nanami couldn't control herself and said: "Pikachu, don't run away blindly!"

Pikachu made a face at her and ran away.

[Mission: Enter Nibi City]

[Time limit: four hours]

Su Mei explained: "This scene should be from the first few episodes of "Pokémon", when the relationship between Ash and Pikachu was not on good terms."

"The first episode." Li Nuo said: "Because Pikachu was disobedient, Xiaozhi had no choice but to catch the Pokémon by himself. Xiaozhi became angry and saw a shadow that looked like Pidgey, so he picked up a stone and threw it at the Pokémon. Pokémon, who knew that Pokémon wasn’t Pidgey but Spearow.”

Su Mei: "You remember it too clearly..."

Li Nuo glared at him: "I have omitted a lot of things. If you want to listen, I can narrate the whole story in English..."

Just like Li Nuo said, Nanami picked up a stone uncontrollably and hit Spearow on the head.

"Pickup pickup!"

Pikachu hiding in a tree turned out to be the target of Spearow's attack.

According to the original plot, Xiaozhi, played by Nanami, should run out and say: "Wait a minute, I threw a stone at you!"

But she didn't.

Since the mission says that you are entering Nibi City, then there is no problem if you don’t bring Pikachu with you...

Nanami touched her lower body.

After confirming his gender, he turned around and ran away, leaving Pikachu behind to fight Spearow.

Li Nuo looked at it and said: "If the plot continues like this, Xiaozhi may not be able to meet Xiaoxia. Without the help of Bicycle and Xiaoxia, the road will definitely be very dangerous..."

Mr. Black Jack said: "According to you, we should follow the plot now?"

Li Nuo shook his head slightly: "In other words, I would go back to Zhenxin Town, steal a Pokémon from Dr. Oak, and find a means of transportation to Nibi City. Judging from the time, four hours is enough."

Nanami didn't understand the content of the anime.

So she chose to look at her pocket map, find the location of Nibi City, and set off there.

But before she had gone far, she was forced to stop by a cry from a spearbird.

Li Nuo: "The Spearow that was attacked by Xiaozhi was electrocuted by Pikachu when it attacked Pikachu, so he angrily summoned a large number of Spearow's companions. Pikachu was pecked by the Spearow during the escape, so Xiaozhi hugged Pikachu. Keep running away."

Mr. Blackjack: "Are you the narrator..."

Nanami, a woman, lived a peaceful life before the age of fourteen, but she lived in a country washed away by war.

Her parents and relatives passed away when she was fifteen years old.

Later, the girl embarked on a path that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine, which shaped her ruthless character.

However, some of the girl's weaknesses are still entangled in her heart.

For example, she likes cute things.

"so troublesome……"

Nanami paces back.

"There's an electric rat on the road, so it's safer."

She used a classic arrogant tone to find a step for herself.

When they returned to the scene of the incident, Pikachu burst out of the bushes covered in injuries.

Li Nuo: "Pikachu should be seriously injured here, but now it looks like it's just a superficial injury. It depends on what Nanami does."

Mr. Black Jack: "Don't be the system's default narrator..."

On the big screen, Nanami hugged Pikachu, and the electric mouse shouted "Pika Pika", feeling very resistant to Nanami.

"Be honest with me!"

Nanami's shout calmed Pikachu.

She threw Pikachu behind a thick bush, then picked up a stone and threw it towards the dense group of Spearow.

"Look at me!"

Nanami swung her hips in a bad dance routine.

But it did successfully attract the attention of the Spearows.

The group of ferocious bird Pokémon flying in the air turned around and charged towards her.

"Being a good person really doesn't pay off!"

Nanami murmured and started to run away.

There is no way a man can outrun a Spearow.

The moment Nanami was about to be attacked...

“Pika pika—!”

A bolt of yellow lightning descended from the air!
  The Spearow flock was dispersed.

Nanami turned around, and Pikachu stood not far from her, nodding with a somewhat arrogant expression.

She skipped a certain plot and directly established a good relationship with Pikachu.

The darkness in the sky subsided, the Spearows reappeared in front of the field of vision, and Pikachu ran over and jumped on Nanami.

"Pickup pickup!"

"You mean...defeat them to move forward?"

Nanami saw the affirmative answer in Pikachu's eyes.

"Damn, how could I fall in love with a mouse..."

She wanted to maintain the last of her arrogance, but it still turned into passion.

"Okay then, Pikachu..."

"Pickup, pickup!"

The Spearows are close at hand.

Nanami pointed at them and shouted to Pikachu, "One hundred thousand volts!"

[Mission Ended]    Nanami sat on the chair, looking confused.

"what happened……"

"You are stupid." Li Nuo glanced at her: "Xiao Zhi is a cartoonist, but you are not. You were electrocuted to death."

"What's going on with this mission..." Nanami lowered her head: "I've never encountered anything like this."

Marger comforted: "At least, you persisted the second longest."

Nanami looked over with resentful eyes: "You have the nerve to say that you are the last..."

[Player No. [-] please be prepared]

This time the green light shines under my feet, Mr. Blackjack.

……

[Dominating global terrestrial ecosystems for more than 1.6 million years]

This time there is a side.

And he has a strong male voice.

【Cretaceous】

[Dinosaurs will become extinct on this day]

[Mission: Save the Dinosaurs from Extinction]

【Time limit: none】

The picture appears from the beginning of the universe.

Rapidly falling into the clouds.

Li Nuo: "So...brother Black Jack is a meteorite..."

……

[The mission has ended]

Black Jack laughed out loud immediately: "Hahaha! I am the shortest now!"

Su Mei's face was full of confusion: "Isn't this task unsolvable?"

"So I didn't even think about asking us to complete the task." Li Nuo said, "Just do what we can. The system will not give us tasks that we can't complete."

[Player No. [-] please be prepared]

This time it was Su Mei.

As green light rose from beneath her feet.

Her perspective came to a cramped alley.

On a rainy night, the cold and damp air made Gotham's order tremble.

Su Mei's first-person perspective looked around at the dirty alleys. Steam flowed from the pipes on the damp walls, covering the night with a layer of mist.

The rain formed a small puddle at her feet, reflecting the dim light of the street lamp.

Su Mei, like Nanami, touched her body first. From her chest, she could tell that she was playing a male.

She took out a gun from under her coat.

In Gotham, guns are as necessary as water. Water is for drinking, and the gun is for you to have a companion before you die.

[Mission: Don’t let Bruce Wayne become an orphan]

[Time limit: thirty minutes]

[Your name is: Joe Chell]

Su Mei was stunned.

The murderer of Bruce Wayne's parents was Joe Chill.

"That is to say...I am playing the murderer..."

In order to prevent an accident, Su Mei immediately pulled the pistol and shot herself in the head.

[The mission has ended]

"It's done this time."

Su Mei's first words when she returned to her own consciousness did not bring her recognition.

"Thirty minutes, even if Joe Chell dies, something else may happen." Li Nuo said: "If I were you, I would follow the Wayne family, or simply kidnap the three of them, of course... There must be other solutions.”

"I... didn't think about it carefully. I was just afraid that something unexpected might happen." Su Mei tilted her head.

When Li Nuo said this, he lowered his head slightly, touched his chin with his hand, and whispered to himself: "Everyone's mission may actually have multiple routes, and each route has great significance for the subsequent career allocation, except for black and white." Brother Jack..."

While he was thinking about it, the green light under his feet turned on.

Nanami clicked her tongue: "Why are you the last one to appear..."

Li Nuo broke through the dimensional wall and said, "Maybe I am the protagonist."

His vision slowly darkened and he entered Mewtwo.

An abstract oil painting of the human body is hung on the wall, and a solid wood desk and a boss chair with detailed carvings of European patterns sit quietly in the corner.

Books, desk lamps, ashtrays, notebooks and pens are all placed on the heavy bedside table.

The room actually has a 19th century European style.

and many more……

Li Nuo was startled.

Isn't this Marger's dream scene?

On the bed, the beautiful woman was giving medicine to the sick man played by Marger.

Li Nuo's perspective did not stop, floating in the air, stumbling out of the window, and then crashing down like a roller coaster.

He bumped into several raised wall tiles one after another, and finally fell to the ground. His perspective was still "crawling" forward.

Until he entered a sewer pipe.

【Hungry--】

【I want to eat——】

A buzzing narration sounded.

Li Nuo's heart trembled, and an extremely ominous premonition appeared...

"I shouldn't be..."

A fly emerges from the pipe, accompanied by a swarm of maggots...

[Mission: Survive]

[Remaining time: one minute]

The same mission as Marjie, except that the task time was different, but Marjie faced a beautiful young woman holding poison, while he faced a fly and a group of...

"husband……"

The fly made a sound that Li Nuo could hear.

husband……

Husband?

Li Nuo was dumbfounded.

Cha Bai was also dumbfounded.

"No more carrion...I only found this."

A mosaic ran out from behind the fly...

You know what it is without looking.

Li Nuo didn't move.

His wife said: "You are the head of the family, you eat first, the children and I...are fine..."

Li Nuo felt his brain trembling.

He wanted to move, but he couldn't because of hunger.

"It's okay...you...you eat with the children..."

At this moment, a big insect slowly crawled over from the depths of the pipe.

"Oops...Honey, eat quickly, or you will die!"

"I won't eat it even if I die."

"husband."

"You and the children, hurry up and eat!"

[The mission has ended]

Li Nuo covered his face, hunched over, and his hands were trembling: "I thought I was the kind of person who would even dare to eat shit in order to succeed, but I overestimated myself..."

Cha Bai: "At least your wife and children survived."

Li Nuo: "Hey... stop making trouble..."

Cha Bai turned his face slightly to the other side and said nothing.

Su Mei and Nanami's faces turned a little pale.

Mr. Black Jack was wearing a mask, but it could be seen from his stiff posture that he was also shocked by Li Nuo's Mewtwo.

Only Marjie casually crossed his legs and looked concave.

"So... we all failed?" Nanami said.

"Theoretically, I've passed the mission, right?" Su Mei said.

"Not necessarily." Mr. Black Jack said: "According to my analysis, yours may not have passed the mission."

When everyone (except Marjie) was puzzled, the system's voice appeared.

[Mewtwo selection has ended]

[We have checked the occupations suitable for you]

First, a red light lit up under Cha Bai's feet.

[Player No. [-], because you used cheating methods and acted like a thief, you did not take the college entrance examination]

[Your occupation is: Thief]

The second one is that red light lights up under Marger's feet.

[Player No. [-], you tested poison with yourself, gambled with your life, and made great contributions to the academic industry of alchemy]

[Your occupation is: scholar]

"Humph?"

With three, Nanami's feet lit up with red light.

[Player No. [-], using awkward dance steps to help your companions escape danger, you used your legs to perform a dance of life]

[Your occupation is: Dancer]

The fourth one is that a red light lights up under Mr. Black Jack's feet.

[Player No. [-], when you are destroying the world, you are still thinking about how to avoid the animals in the sky. You have a kind heart to save everything]

[Your occupation is: Pharmacist]

Mr. Blackjack: "How can it still be like this..."

The fifth one is Su Mei.

[Player No. [-], in theory you can prevent tragedy by killing yourself, but you have not completely stopped it. Being reckless and protective are both your character]

[Your profession is: Swordsman]

The last one is Li Nuo...

[Player No. [-], you must protect the people around you even if you will be eaten, and selflessly distribute food to the makeshift family. You spread your love with love, transform into a shield, and use your flesh and blood to stop the monsters from eating your family members.]

[Your occupation is: Priest]

Li Nuo: "I'm going to use your system..."

[No matter whether the six players have any enmity before, in this script, the six will be permanent companions]

[You have a mission to bring justice to the world, and the road to slaying the devil is about to begin]

[You have thirty seconds to get familiar with each other, and you will arrive at six corners of the world, and finally go to the place where the devil is. The "players" and "invaders" along the way will be stumbling blocks on your way]

【Wish you all a happy trip】

[The thirty-second countdown begins]

Marjie turned his head and said, "This script won't be..."

Li Nuo frowned: "Ah... two professions are missing, it must be too expensive..."

Su Mei said: "Aren't you talking about Octopath Traveler?"

Nanami: "Why am I a dancer..."

"You all should know each other, right? Can you introduce me?" Mr. Black Jack asked.

Several people said their names.

Then Mr. Blackjack sat up in his chair and took off his mask.

"Since you all want to cooperate, let's meet each other with your true colors, so that we won't be able to find you when the time comes."

The mask comes off, and so does the wig.

He has black slightly curly hair, a sad beard, and a lazy face. He looks like a scumbag, but he is very handsome.

"My name is Xing Kai."

Li Nuo was stunned: "[Rescuer]?"

At this moment, the scene in front of everyone went dark.

……

【Hello everyone】

[Reuters reported that the demonization of cities and towns has become more and more serious recently, so those stationed offshore...beep...]

Li Nuo heard the radio.

Open your eyes.

Light spread across the field of vision, and strong light shone all around.

He felt as if he was holding something like a cross and standing there.

"If I guess correctly...it's "Octopath Traveler"...but the broadcast..."

While he was thinking this, there was the sound of an engine outside the window.

Through my narrow vision, I adapted to the bright light and saw a car flying through the air outside the window. Technological buildings were erected at random, forming a cyberpunk skyline.

The radio rang again.

[Hello everyone, this is News Channel 54: Most of the demons in Night City have been cleared...]

[Those who want to travel can buy tickets]

Li Nuo opened his eyes wide: "Mirror Master... Cyberpunk?"

(End of this chapter)
