As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 258 The Promised Land

Li Nuo read everything on the scroll with an expressionless face.

The content described in it was rather messy. He asked Nanami for paper and pen... He actually brought them with him because he didn't want to waste pen and ink. After all, buying a pen in the corridor cost money.

Scribbling on the paper restored the specific content of the scroll.

simply put……

This is a simple personal travel diary recorded by a player who has just reached level 60.

It involves his stories in various scripts, his wives, his friends, and his enemies, all in detail, but not important.

This player is not a high-level player, he is just a low-level player who relies on "magic candies" to boost his success.

After reaching level 60, he obtained a large amount of world information from the first script he came into contact with.

The relationship between the world is a large circle surrounded by five small circles. The name of the large circle is "Lord's Corridor", but there is a note at the end. This name is passed down by players, and it may be different in the eyes of higher-level players.

The big circle is the world, the small circle is the country, the country can be seen as a corridor, the cities in each country are the real world, and the capital of the country is the player gathering area.

Cloisters can be destroyed and reborn, just as countries can be destroyed and replaced.

But the world will not collapse.

What are the things that run the world... Perhaps only those players at the top and the kings of various "countries" know the answer.

Citizens are not players, the country’s soldiers are players.

Players are "people", and people must follow the concept of "fate".

Each player's script route is a straight line with no branches. Your resentment and life chips determine the route of the next script.

Players start from a certain city in the country and walk all the way to the end, which is the castle where the king who only exists in the voice lives.

Of course, the above is just speculation.

Players will encounter ups and downs along the way, just like difficulties will accompany a person's life. Malice will haunt you, and malice may never meet you. But when you meet evil and break it, your destiny will start to calculate again, and you will walk through mountains of swords and seas of fire. People are more likely to be more adaptable to unknown dangers than those who are pampered.

This is called overcoming a hurdle.

From here, Li Nuo saw a direction he had never imagined.

Actually... there is no script at all?

When he thought about it, he subconsciously told himself not to think about it. Again, people are in unknown areas and should not make any suspicions before there is any evidence.

The evidence is not a scroll left by a player who didn't even understand it, but what he saw with his own eyes, heard with his own ears, and felt with his own eyes.

Li Nuo said with deep emotion: "God's fucking great sea route."

Zeref, who was drinking, almost choked: "What?"

Li Nuo clicked on what was written on the paper and said: "In addition to the speculation about the corridor situation, isn't there also the guild's theory... Look, players are like pirates, burning, killing and looting on various islands, that is, in the script, the space that holds them It’s the ship. The ship is very small at the beginning, with only one person. When there are more people, it becomes a squad. However, the squad is not enough to allow the player to go further, because the hurdle of fate is destined to make the ship hit the rocks, and more ships need to cooperate to survive. One by one, the ships gathered together to form a large fleet, which was a guild.”

Li Nuo took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued: "The big guild... ah no, what are the benefits of the big fleet? Drawing a circle to occupy the land, gathering experts, and also, relying on the guild, ah no, if the big fleet, There are opponents that I can't beat, but I can beat them!"

"Huh..." Zeref twitched his brows: "How come you are so down-to-earth when it comes to such mysterious things..."

Li Nuo said nonchalantly: "Anyway... I want to be Bucky the Clown..."

Zeref: "It took you a long time to come up with such an ideal..."

Li Nuo asked: "It would be great to sit and eat and wait for death, don't you want to?"

Zeref leaned back, crossed his legs, and said thoughtfully: "I just want to go home and sleep... I want to die in bed."

Nanami looked at these two guys with great ideals and looked puzzled...Why are the "top players" among the same level of players with no ambition like them...

Li Nuo knocked on the table in dissatisfaction and said, "Nanami, having no ambition is the greatest ambition."

Nanami was shocked: "I didn't even tell you why you knew it!"

"That's right..." Zeref nodded: "Dying at birth means at least 60 years less detours than living for 60 years before dying..."

"You are all sick..." Nanami felt that she was not worthy of joining the chat group, but she still couldn't help asking: "How did these level 60 players die?"

Zeref looked down: "His guild suppresses the people below, which is called uneven distribution of spoils. Therefore, a civil war broke out within the guild. He seemed to have died in the civil war. In the end, he was still questioning why the people in the guild were doing this. Do...whatever."

Li Nuo smiled and said: "I make hundreds of millions, let others earn a few cents, and hope that others will cooperate happily. There is no legal protection. This result is not unexpected."

Zeref couldn't hold back his displeasure: "The craft of killing chickens to get eggs, the wisdom evolved from the traditional biological instincts."

"What I care about is actually the relationship between the corridors..." Li Nuo glanced at the scroll.

There will be wars between the cloisters.

A year ago, there was a fight between Eternal Life and Endlessness, but the outcome was unknown.

The reason for war has nothing to do with "king" and "country"...

The specific reason is not stated. The player's level is not high, and his level... is not strong either. It is already good to be able to leave so much information.

But what’s interesting is that the real world of several cloisters…

The scroll says,

The strongest corridor may be the "End Corridor". The number of intruders who ran out from there was very few, and their individual abilities could be described as crazy.

The place with the best magic power but the most comfortable or peaceful place is the "Corridor of the Sky", and the fantasy system is considered the ceiling of the magic system.

The representative of melee combat is mostly "Corridor of Immortality".

Based on the characteristics of the real world, Li Nuo pushed forward his thinking.

"The endless corridor is funny, absurd, and symbolizes cause and effect."

"The Corridor of Eternal Life, fighting, blood, symbolizing power."

"The Corridor of Death, supernatural, space, symbolizing time and space."

The real world of the other two corridors was not given, so he could only ponder these.

"Is there any evidence?" Zeref asked.

"No, just guessing." Li Nuohu said.

He thought of the two groups of intruders he had encountered.

Players in the Corridor of Immortality have excellent combat capabilities. In the script of "NieR", even if he is at the top of the same group of players, he almost falls there - using force to overcome skill is strength.

Among the Death Corridor players, he had only seen one in "Cyberpunk", Xu Nian, the player who could control time and space teleportation. The scar on his left eye made his muscles jump faintly when it rained. It was left to him under the leadership of Xu Nian. A generous gift - the world of ghosts and supernatural beings is the source of the tunnel of time and space.

As for the Endless Corridor, comedy itself is a type of law of cause and effect.

Thinking about it this way, the world is very divided.

Xu Nian's power to control space may come from his native world, just like the players of "Eternal Life Corridor" hold the "Ninjutsu" of the native world "Ninja Dragon" in their hands.

Both he and Nanami in "Cairo Game World" have mastered a funny skill, not to mention Marge, who is "funny" himself.

Li Nuo asked: "Zerf, do you have any comedy skills?"

"Does it count to take off all your clothes instantly?" Zeref said arrogantly, "My move makes even succubus worship me."

Nanami: "..."

Li Nuo said: "Then... "South Park" and "Empire Inquisition", which are also 'Endless Corridors', should also have their own special skills."

Zeref thought for a moment and said, "Forget this, if you want to go to other corridors, you can only enter as an 'intruder'."

Li Nuo nodded invisibly: "Well, maybe it's okay to enter a special script. It was my mistake not to arrest someone and ask questions before..."

Nanami frowned... It's already scary that you can kill all the intruders...

Unconsciously, she has evolved from a verbal complainer to a verbal complainer.

"I guess Sauron wants this, right?" Li Nuo pushed what he wrote to Zeref and said, "Take it away, this thing is not important to me."

Zeref said a little surprised: "You are quite easy to talk to. I thought that Sauron only asked me, a 'team member', to come forward. As the team leader, you might be unhappy."

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not the team leader."

Zeref: "Who is that? The one with white hair?"

Li Nuo: "Does Marjie still remember?"

Zeref thought for a while, and his expression gradually hardened.

"Ah...that...that...can take it out...I'll go..."

"Very surprised?"

"But the team leader is usually the most powerful one, right?"

"Zerf, do you think... you can fight a mountain of shit as big as a small shop?"

"Heh...hehe...ok."

"Besides, even if he is in Sauron's team, he is not necessarily better than you, right?"

"Who knows?"

"By the way, what rank is Sauron at now?"

Zeref was silent for a while.

"I don't know. I'm a new member, so I don't understand many things."

"I understand." Li Nuo took a pen and drew something on the paper filled with "speculation".

"This is..." Zeref looked at the pile of big lights on the paper and straightened his eyes.

"Yoshihiro Togashi's painting style is my comfort gift to Sauron." Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "Tell him that even if there are no female team members, the male team members can also make use of it."

"So you drew a ladyboy, right..."

"This is called political correctness."

"Haha...hahahaha..." Zeref laughed uncontrollably. He touched the corners of his eyes, stood up, took the piece of paper, turned around and walked out, waving his hand: "I understand, I will Pass it on, ally.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeref disappeared from sight.

Another person walked in outside the house. He was the serious president of the "Fifth Detective Guild", Mr. Wenke.

Natives can see players even if they can't see each other.

Wenke curled his lips: "Every time I look at you guys, it's like I've seen a ghost."

"Fortunately, there are not many ghosts." Li Nuo smiled: "Mr. Wenke, long time no see."

Wink came over and put a suitcase on the table.

Here is Li Nuo's business bonus this month... He gave Wenke something insignificant and asked the fraudster to sell it in his own way, and then he asked for a commission.

The amount in the box is converted into player gold coins, totaling 5000.

"Very few."

"What you gave me is a bunch of junk stuff... It's good if it can be sold."

Li Nuo smiled and did not refute.

The big gift package after the last scenario has a random card draw reward.

The Li Nuo faction broke out.

Smoked three different types of crap products…

[Magic pen], [Flashlight that can only be used during the day], [Sunglasses that will make you look darker].

In addition to defrauding good things from aboriginal people and then reselling them, Wenke's main business also includes, but is not limited to, selling fake goods, laundering money, and watching the show.

All in all, Mr. Wink is a gangster.

Of course... Li Nuo also had other ways of making money, such as giving Wenke useless equipment and asking him to sell it to others and get a kickback.

But here comes the question - why should I sell a weapon that can kill me to others?

Let me tell you a joke... When the protagonist was a teenager, he got a knife from the villain. More than ten years later, the protagonist used this knife to cut off the villain's waist.

Li Nuo doesn't want to be this kind of villain...

On the other hand, it wasn't just the gold coins he was eyeing.

It's easy to make money, and there's tea.

He was more concerned about the goods that Wenke bought in exchange for goods that could not be resold.

Some things are useless to the natives of Basel, but have unexpected effects on players.

For example, he used the [face-changing mirror], which could scare a seven-foot man into fainting.

There are some materials from the lower mining area of ​​Basel in the mezzanine of the box. These things can be used as alchemy materials after they are used. In addition, there is also a small bag wrapped in linen, which contains "unsellable" things.

"Okay~Thanks, Mr. Wenke~"

Li Nuo accepted it happily.

When he looked up, Wenke was already gone.

"He's avoiding me?"

"Needless to say..."

Nanami wiped her wine glass and smiled mockingly.

"Wenke is a scammer. He founded the guild just to see if he could deceive players. You guys have made the name of the 'Fifth Detective Guild' famous. Regardless of whether other players believe it or not, there will always be people paying attention to Wenke. this person."

Li Nuo took a sip of tea and didn't respond. There was no need to respond.

Just like Nanami said... As the name of the "Fifth Detective Guild" "came" in the dungeon, some players began to pay attention to Wink. The guild's fraud leader always felt like someone was staring at him.

Therefore, Wen Ke suspected Li Nuo...

Did this kid do something behind his back...

Later, Nanami came. This girl was aggressive and made people feel bad.

So Wink was even more scared.

The series of incidents mentioned above made Wenke, who was kept in the dark, feel that the rule that players cannot harm indigenous people was being weakened.

However, no matter what the reason, there is not much relationship with Li Nuo.

Judging from the content of the scrolls, Basel is a place where players have a "fallback".

To other players, this place is just an insignificant "gathering area".

Li Nuo packed up the box and drank down the half glass of wine that Zeref left behind.

"I am leaving."

Nanami turned her eyes. "That's weird, I thought you were going to fuck Zeref."

Li Nuo paused.

"what?"

"For example, get something out of Zeref's hands."

Li Nuo laughed...

He raised his palm, turned it over, and the broken magic dice floated in the air.

"Did you think I didn't?"

Nanami's expression froze.

This dice is Li Nuo's [Seal of Yaksi] ability.

"how……"

"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world." Li Nuo paused, looked down at the broken dice, and said: "Why did Sauron let Zeref, who was not familiar with him, come? His team, Qasim and Yake He is his confidant, because Sauron knows that Zeref will not be 'calculated' by me."

Nanami: "Also... we are allies, which does not mean we are teammates... we can't completely trust him, but... Zeref is too powerful..."

Of course it's awesome... Li Nuo slandered.

Players before level 25 rely on skill cards.

From level 25 to around level 40, the ability to possess is your trump card.

Zeref's [Godhead Mask], Sauron's [Hundred Styles of Guanyin], and Li Nuo's [Uncle Cairo] are all the capital that allows them to dare to be bold.

These are all foreign objects and beyond my ability.

There is no use in being fancy in the future, increasing one's ability is the trump card.

Nanami glanced at the chandelier, blew up her hair, and snorted: "They are all monsters."

Li Nuo crushed the dice and recovered the magic power.

"Not only the monsters, but also the composition of each corridor, and whether the future script will be exciting or absurd and boring, these are all unpredictable...that's why it's interesting."

Nanami said, "I thought you had already made a plan."

"Stop making trouble... You and I are just gravel in front of the world. What plan does a grain of sand make?"

Li Nuo walked out carrying the box.

"Just take it as it comes, and take it one step at a time. There is no perfect plan in this world. It's better not to have a plan at all."

Nanami sighed, put the wine glass back on the shelf, turned her back and said, "That's nice to say, who can prevent accidents."

Li Nuo had already left the bar, leaving only one sentence behind.

"Then become stronger."

Li Nuo walked around the streets of Basel.

The road surface steps downwards.

The steel bars above were in disarray, cutting open the sky.

As he walked, he counted the things Wen Ketao had exchanged for him.

Among the useless things, he took out a sticker.

[Haunted Stickers: Make ghosts appear]

Concise and concise.

Li Nuo touched his chin and came to the weapons workshop with a flash of inspiration. He put the stickers and the beans of [Spreading Beans to Make Soldiers] together and asked the staff to knock them down with a hammer.

There was a flash of white light.

【Shikigami Invitation】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Select one of the Shikigami from the random list. The existence time is related to the strength. A script can only be used once.]

[Brief description: Shikigami cannot be eaten as food because they are generally poisonous]

Holding the pure white sticker in his hand, Li Nuo tried it on. There were rows of lists on the sticker.

This is basically the same as Cha Bai's summoning magic. The things summoned will not be very strong, but they will have unexpected effects.

such as……

Li Nuo summoned a "one-armed kappa".

After that gadget appeared, I almost peed the moment I saw Li Nuo...

"why is it you again……"

Li Nuo was also stunned.

"It is you?"

This kappa once had an intersection in the ticket-grabbing script.

Thanks to the kappa's offering of a helping hand, Li Nuo, Chabai, Kanzaki Jusan, and Ichijo Akira felt able to satisfy their hunger, and were able to complete the following tasks perfectly.

Ten minutes later, Li Nuo put the "kappa ears" into the backpack compartment.

Walking back again.

"What nonsense are they all..."

"Alchemy materials are okay..."

"What the hell is this?"

[The underwear thief’s lucky charm]

Li Nuo held a "thong" and put it into the backpack grid with a wonderful expression.

"Maybe Mr. Victor likes it."

There is only one thing left in the bag.

Li Nuo stopped.

Take out the square box wrapped in cloth.

A game disc box without even a panel.

He couldn't read the writing on the box.

"So we can rule out Chinese, Japanese, French, English, Korean... it shouldn't be Italian... nor Russian."

Basel's text will be translated into the native language the player is most familiar with.

Indicates that this game may come from a certain player.

Since it is a player's game, it is most likely sold in a mall. Games in the mall can only be played on the game machine in the player space, and cannot be played by aborigines. Therefore, in the eyes of Mr. Wenke, this kind of thing is junk.

Li Nuo was very interested.

There are always games in the world that he has never played...

"After finishing the strengthening work... I'll ask Brother Shou to come over and play in two days."

Put the game into the backpack slot.

After wandering around, I came to the small courtyard of the space. I pushed open the courtyard door and stepped in. The light and shadow were flowing in front of my eyes.

When another scene came into view, he had already returned to his real home.

[8 hours have passed today]

[You have been forcibly returned to the real world]

Li Nuo glanced at the time and calculated the time it would take to do what he had to do today.

"Just pinch it."

"Ha~ The heart beat timer has been upgraded."

There was chaos in time in the last script. There was a mobile phone reference at that time. If it were placed in a medieval background, time chaos would cause big chaos.

He knows how to calculate time by heartbeat, but it cannot exceed a certain time. Today he tried for more than an hour... so he learned a new skill by himself.

Li Nuo cleared away the remaining garbage in the kitchen, then opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of soda.

Turning around in front of the computer desk.

It's evening now.

After turning on the computer, I leaned back on the chair with my head up. There was no light in the room, and I looked into the darkness with a clear mind.

"There will be wars in the corridors, and there are other difficult corridors..."

"According to the scrolls, each corridor possesses a special core ability, but as the level increases, the gap will become smaller and smaller. In theory, the absurdity of the 'Endless Corridor' may have the highest limit, but Who knows what is hidden in other corridors.”

"There is only one way..."

His pupils glanced at Chabai's "bracelet" hanging on the refrigerator.

She said she was afraid of losing it and didn't dare to take it with her.

It's just a fake thing made of cloth, but I protect it as my beloved.

Li Nuo closed his eyes.

"Become stronger……"

There was the clumsy sound of a key unlocking outside the door.

Cha Bai bit into the plastic bag filled with lunch boxes and walked into the dark home.

She glanced at Li Nuo.

Take off the plastic bag and place it on the ground.

She asked: "What's wrong?"

Li Nuo looked over: "I thought you were in the corridor?"

Snapped……

She turned on the light, took off her heels at the door, picked up the bag on the floor, and walked to the kitchen.

"Yesterday I saw that the restaurant downstairs had a regular discount, so I went there today due to time constraints."

"Discount?"

"Yeah, that's right, discount." Chabai smiled and raised the plastic bag in his hand with a bit of pride: "Steamed fish is only 18 yuan, and stir-fried vegetables are no more than 5 yuan."

Then maybe eating it will cause diarrhea... Li Nuo cursed, still smiling: "You finally stopped cooking."

Cha Bai: "People need to be self-aware...I understand this."

Li Nuo only felt sorry for his own fault.

He touched his eyebrows and then opened the cartoonist's backend mailbox.

"The agreement to give me a different character... I don't have to show my face. Now, as long as all the demands I put forward are not excessive, Cairo Comics Club will agree to it."

"Using your second-place finish in racing can have real-world consequences."

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window.

Gone are the people in Cairo who once doubted Chabai's identity and him.

Li Nuo bit his fingernails.

"The correlation between the scripts can be exploited... so the correlation between the cloisters can also be exploited."

"Would you like to find a way to take a walk in other corridors?"

The computer case hummed.

Li Nuo's mind is a little confused.

His habit of blindly thinking happened again, his mind was in confusion, and his brain began to shut down.

"I really want to find the Promised Land and be a salted fish..."

At this time, Cha Bai came out with a change of clothes. Seeing his half-dead behavior, he casually touched his hair.

"We've all gone home, so don't think about it. I'll take a shower and then eat."

Li Nuo complained: "Shouldn't I wash up after eating..."

Cha Bai took off his shirt and threw it into the bedroom. He turned around and asked, "I've got the skill list here. Let's discuss it with Marjie tomorrow and then start upgrading it. How about it?"

Li Nuo: "Okay, it's up to you."

The bathroom door closes and opens again.

"That's right." Cha Bai stuck his head out and said, "The vacuum cleaner is broken. I bought a new one. Just listen to the knock on the door and it will be here soon. Don't worry, I bought it at a discount."

Li Nuo was stunned, and a warm current surged in his heart for no reason.

"Do you need me to rub your back?"

"Need not."

Li Nuo stared with dead eyes, picked up the dip pen, dabbed some ink, and began to draw lines.

Five minutes passed.

"Li Nuo?"

"Listen."

"Rub my back."

He closed the curtains.

"Oh."
