As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 42 Gold Coins and Rewards (Complete Chapter)

In fact, Li Nuo himself couldn't guess the connection between the "NieR" world where 2B lives and the "Cairo Game World" where he lives.

He was able to go to the story of "Neil" because he discovered the symbol of "Yurha" in the real-life script.

Maybe Cairo is Neil's future, or maybe it's two planets that are not far apart.

But he wasn't going to dwell on it too much.

No matter how capable you are, you can think of as many things as you want.

For example now,

The tombstone of the transfer mailbox was cracked.

Li Nuo hurried over. He first noticed that in addition to his own 5900, the mailbox ID number also added 2B's 5950, which meant that it was now equivalent to two people using a shared mailbox.

Really picky.

When he opened the mailbox, 2B was watching, observing carefully, with cat-like curiosity sleeping in her mind.

In the mailbox was a friend request from Chen Shou. After agreeing, an email came in with 500 gold coins in it.

"Didn't you say that the friendship fee is a joke?" Li Nuo lowered his eyes and saw a text sent by Chen Shou: I got gold coins that will allow me to live until next month, and there is a lot of credit left. Thank you, there is nothing I can thank you for. Yes, I hope you don’t mind the 500 gold coins.

After all, Fat Brother is a social person and knows the importance of doing things very well. Although he has experienced an adventure, everyone is not familiar with him yet. At this time, it is more reasonable to give gifts to express gratitude.

Li Nuo knew very well that it was enough to accept it at this time and reply with a "smiley face".

……

In the space where Chen Shou was, he sat in front of the tombstone and waited uneasily for a reply.

"I don't know if Li Nuo and Brother Ma will think it's too little..."

Soon a reply came from Li Nuo on the tombstone, and he clicked on it.

Li Nuo: Smiley face.

Chen Shou: "?"

Co-authored by you, use words as emoticons!
……

After Li Nuo replied to Chen Shou's message, he happened to receive Marjie's friend application.

After adding friends, Marger didn't know where to find the trigger method, and actually made a "video call" through the tombstone...

A small concave frame the size of a one-inch photo appeared on the tombstone. Inside the frame was a black-and-white image of Marger's face.

It looked like he was dead.

But not completely dead.

Marjie came up and said, "Li Nuo, do you have a title?"

Li Nuo replied: "Insert the eye stick."

Marger: "Huh, low-level."

Li Nuo: "What about you? The sphincter seller?"

Marjie frowned: "Are you spying on me?"

Li Nuo: "...could it be that your title ability allows you to create unlimited amounts of shit?"

Marger: "Well...you have spoilers, right?"

"Fuck..." Li Nuo touched his forehead, feeling a toothache, and said speechlessly: "Brother Ma, can you be normal?"

Marjie replied: "When these words come out of your mouth, you feel like you are being treated dirty by a pig."

Li Nuo changed the topic and said: "Stop talking nonsense. Titles should be a special channel to give players early skills. It is definitely beneficial to get them early. But judging from your title, it does not rule out that the system intentionally labels you. This system It’s quite reasonable…”

"It's not reasonable at all. It's clearly labeling people. It's too hasty... Huh?" Marjie: "Why does that inflatable doll look like 2B?"

"That's her. I subdued her with the elf ball. We'll talk about the details later."

Marger: "Take care of yourself."

Li Nuo: "..."

Marjie suddenly asked: "Does Miss 2B have a title?"

He seems to have a strong obsession with titles.

2B said coolly: "It seems to be... a high-heeled maniac." She clicked on the panel and interpreted: "High-heeled maniac: When running with your toes on the ground, your movement speed increases by 6%."

"Uh..." Li Nuo frowned slightly, thinking that 2B could run away from the wind on high heels, which was reasonable.

"Okay..." Marjie didn't know how to answer, so he said: "Actually, I want to say that the reward I got this time is quite good. I look forward to our next cooperation, but the amount of gold coins will probably keep me busy for a while. If you need anything, please contact me and I will transform into the radiance of a saint..."

beep—

Li Nuo cut off the contact before he finished speaking, then sat on the ground and said thoughtfully: "He reminded me, and he almost forgot the most important thing, the gold coins."

Li Nuo clicked on the panel to check the gold coins. He didn't look at it all the time, not because he didn't take it seriously, but because he knew that he must have a lot of gold coins in reserve, so he wasn't in a hurry to look at it.

After reading it, he lowered his head in silence.

Too much……

"What's wrong with you?" 2B asked standing nearby.

Li Nuo showed her the panel. After all, they were special friends bound together. They had an iron-clad bond to repay the mortgage together, so they didn't have to worry about the other party knowing how many gold coins they had.

"11596 gold coins..."

I don't even have that much money in real life... Li Nuo roared in his heart.

2B didn’t understand a bit: “Is it too much?”

Li Nuo took off his mask and looked at her, "Girl, you are really Versailles."

"If I pay 3000 gold coins a month, I can live in bed for three months."

"Lie down?" There seemed to be a "ding" in 2B's head, triggering a new strange vocabulary.

"It's the kind of waste that becomes a mechanical life form that doesn't eat or drink but lives well." Li Nuo quickly calculated some numbers and found something interesting: "It costs gold coins to learn skills and buy supplies. If you are rich in money, you actually have to spend a lot of money just to complete the missions. If you don't do side missions, you can't replenish it at all. In theory, if you only follow the main missions all the time, you will actually be in a state of permanent lack of money. Ah, 2B, do you have any gold coins?”

"I am recognized as a 'player', so part of the rewards you get are also fed back to me." 2B responded, and then Sanwu showed a slightly embarrassed expression on her face. She was still a little unfamiliar with the control panel. But he adapted quickly enough. After four or five seconds, he clicked on the panel and read: "4500."

Li Nuo speculated that these gold coins came from the rewards from the main missions and the real plot settlement. He sat on the folding stool and placed everything in the backpack grid and the things he carried on the ground.

In this mission, there is still one blood medicine bought from the mall. In addition to the folding stool, iron rod, Kenny's coat, Emil's mask and other equipment that need to be kept on hand, the biggest gain is that I have a gun, but I have to find a way to deal with the bullets. , Li Nuo has a slightly risky idea in his mind, making his own bullets, but he is not in a hurry now.

The most special thing of all is the [Summoning Magic Crystal]. Since its return, the Magic Crystal has been dormant again. You may only know how to trigger its effect again by entering the script.

In addition, because 2B was judged to be a player instead of an elf, the [Elf Ball] is now back in Li Nuo's mailbox, but it has turned into an ordinary elf ball.

He took out the [Firecracker] that he had placed in the reward pool of [Probability System].

Because 500 gold coins were invested before the last mission, after conversion, the quality increased by 50%.

In addition, the way he completed the task was relatively unconventional, so he got a strange gadget.

It still looks like a firecracker, but its functionality is completely different.

【Cannon of Dawn】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: There is a chance to summon a chicken from another world and shoot it as a cannon. It cools down for 48 hours after being used once]

[Brief description: Don’t underestimate the chicken]

Li Nuo: "Does the break of dawn mean the rooster crows?"

"It's so interesting." 2B half-bent to look at the [Dawn Cannon] panel that Li Nuo released, and asked: "What is a chicken? I've never heard of this kind of cannonball."

"A kind of summoned creature." Li Nuo made a random joke, planning to place the [Dawn Cannon] in the house first, and told 2B not to touch the firecrackers unless there was something wrong.

After sorting out his things, he threw the elf ball into the reward pool of the [Probability System]. The reward pool was not triggered. Anyway, he still had plenty of time, so he decided to wait for a while.

As a result, the only thing left in the grid on the backpack panel was [the drawing of Emil's sales truck]. To be honest, he couldn't understand the things recorded on it.

But if you don’t understand, you can learn.Li Nuo planned to buy some mechanical books in a few days to study on his own, just in time to review the process of making bullets.

When there was a problem with flying cockroaches at home, he learned to make bullets, then pointed the inferior homemade bullets at the cockroaches and burned them on candles. Later, Li Nuo's mother taught herself how to repair walls.

But there is only one thing on 2B's side. She has recast part of her body to become the initial player. All she has now is an eyepatch.

[Black goggles]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: Display the target's HUD]

[Brief description: You are the only one with a health bar, right? 】

This is an artifact.

Because it can see the opponent's health bar and the damage value of its own attack.

In addition, what concerned Li Nuo was that [Glory Keystone], a thing from the Soul series, was used as a strengthening material. He entered the forging bench in the hut and tried it. It could only strengthen bound equipment items, and for the first time Strengthening requires 600 gold coins.

Considering that he was not in a hurry for the next "dungeon", he didn't dwell on it any longer.

"The last thing is..." Li Nuo began to rummage through the bookshelves.

"2B, you have an [identity], right?"

"Yeah." 2B nodded: "Want to see it?"

"want."

The moment 2B showed his [identity], Li Nuo once again understood how huge the natural gap between people can be.

[Identity: Focuser]

[Activation conditions: Come up with a classic and good quote, such as "I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!" "It's not me that's wrong, it's the world!" "This is Steins;Gate's choice!", please do it! Bingmao]

[Close condition: cry]

[Effect 1: The price of any item purchased in the script is reduced by 50%]

[Effect 2: Even if it is not turned on after the mission is over, the total number of experience points gained can be increased by 10%, shared by teammates]

[Effect 3: If the main line or side task is open when it ends, the experience value will be increased by 40%, and the gold coins obtained will be increased by 30%. This is common to teammates]

[Effect 4: Easier to increase the chance of encountering high-strength enemies]

When there is too much good news, people can feel numb.

For example, Li Nuo now.

The buff effect brought by [Focuser] was comparable to catching a volcano erupting one second before freezing to death, but he just felt... okay, he was used to it.

He found a white paper on the bookshelf in the house that he had never seen before.

As usual, a large amount of information poured into Li Nuo and 2B's heads the moment they opened the book.

"What?" 2B asked.

She saw Li Nuo staring at him and saying, "Thinking rapes you, just get used to it."

According to the tips in the book, the possibility of forming an [identity] is extremely slim. You must be unparalleled or almost unique in a certain field.

Li Nuo's [Remnant Blood Person] generally refers to people who are not far away from death. The screening criteria are that congenital body is more economical, and most acquired diseases do not meet the criteria.

2B's "Focuser" generally refers to the person who stands out the most under the spotlight. Simply put, the protagonist.

And it must be an extremely special protagonist in a certain area of ​​the world.

For example, if there is an identity called "Scoop Eater", the person who can bear this identity cannot be Marjie. After all, he just dares to imitate feces, and he probably doesn't like eating...probably.

"There are 10 other identities besides us..." Li Nuo said, staring at the 2B panel.

2B asked in confusion: "I just don't understand what the activation conditions and closing conditions mean. What is middle two? Why can it be closed only by crying?"

Li Nuo listened and moved his eyes to the personal panel next to panel 2B.

Because the experience points of special friends are bound, 2B's level has been increased to 20.

Then comes the scariest part.

Due to her identity as an artificial human, she has stored and memorized a large number of killing techniques. These are brought to the "Endless Corridor" as skills by default, so there are many things in her skill panel.

[Basic Joint Techniques], [Unrestricted Fighting Techniques], [Sword Stance Technique], [Basic Blade Techniques], [Blunt Weapon Strike Technique], [Advanced Leg Techniques], [Retreat], [High Heels Running Technique] 】……

Li Nuo: "Let's do this. I'll teach you the second grade, and you'll teach me these tricks that can kill dinosaurs."

2B nodded: "Okay."

……

Li Nuo exited the "Endless Corridor" and returned to his cabin.

The time on the wall clock showed that only 2 hours had passed since entering the last script, but he always felt as if a week had passed.

2B said that she still has some system calculations that have not yet been completed, and she has the privilege of permanently living in the space for the time being. She may not be able to leave the space until level 25.

This reminded Li Nuo of an important piece of information in the swishy voice after completing the screening of newcomers:
——"Please upgrade your level to level 25 first. Then I will appear again and slowly explain the true purpose to you."

So what exactly is the "Endless Corridor"?

The warm light of dusk entered the house, and the curtains fluttered in the wind.

Catkins flew into the house, and he stood up and closed the window. The warm wind blew, and the spring outside the window came with his new life.

Li Nuo leaned on the sofa, slumped down, and looked at the ceiling dreamily.

His brain gradually gave up thinking, and he was tired. Even though he had only experienced one script, the state of high tension was followed by extreme exhaustion. In a script full of crises, if safety was not ensured, he would not even have a moment to rest.

Now in the empty room, there was no mother, no teammates, no players, no resistance forces, no androids, no 2B, he was the only one. The sudden silence made him enter an infinite reverie.

He was thinking that if there really is a god in this world, then this great being who can give people another life is really annoying.

When he is resurrected but learns that he has to wander in endless stories, the crisis and excitement from the depths of his soul will eventually destroy all his illusions about a peaceful life, or in other words, the seemingly peaceful life has actually been long gone. There is a hidden turmoil.

The light of dusk and the opposite shadows alternated on Li Nuo's face. Through this script, he knew that the dull days he longed for could come to an end.

But life has to go on, for example, his stomach is howling unsatisfactorily.

"What to eat? Let's exclude instant noodles first."

Li Nuo stood up and answered his own questions. He had developed the habit of talking to himself after being alone for too long. Maybe this habit should be changed.

When I walked to the refrigerator, I just opened the refrigerator door and saw a box of "Cairo yogurt".

"Cairo Game World, what exactly is it?" Li Nuo took out the yogurt and took a sip. He raised his head and began to rinse his mouth. After swallowing, his first reaction seemed to be expired.

"This Cairo seems to cover a lot of areas."

He took out a green onion and prepared to cook noodles. The room was dark because the lights were not turned on.

In the game, this kind of scene is very suitable for putting a ghost around the corner to scare people.

Li Nuo thought of this and turned on the light.

--Snapped.

The light is not on.

"what?"

I tried it again, but it still didn't light up.

"Is Cairo also involved in horror games?"

Just when he was thinking.

The door rang.

　This chapter was too boring, so I published it together.

　　In addition, regarding the matter of race values, my question was not comprehensive enough at the moment, so I have changed it. Thank you for reminding me.
