Chapter 54: Streaking
This is it. "Mo Ling suddenly put his hand on my forehead and fell down.
"Ah! Master! What's wrong with you?" Seeing me suddenly fainting, all my demon pets gathered around me nervously.
Ling put his hand on my forehead and closed his eyes to sense it, then stopped Xiaochun who was about to use the healing technique. "It's useless, the master's soul is gone."
Just after Ling Gang finished speaking, my body sat up again. Following this body, I rubbed my temples and said, "What happened? The master's soul suddenly disappeared!"
"You..." There were still people around who didn't understand what was going on. I suddenly fell down and sat up again.
Sitting up again, I seemed to understand the misunderstanding of the people around me, and quickly explained: "I am a phantom. The master's soul suddenly disappeared just now, and I didn't even react. Now I am controlling the master's body!"
After hearing Phantom's explanation, my demon pets immediately surrounded Moling. "What do you think is going on?"
Mo Ling explained without any rush: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this is the task assigned by Empress Nuwa."
"Task?" My demon pets are very smart. After hearing Mo Ling say it was a task, I quickly realized that this should be some kind of special test, so I calmed down first. Ling, as the leader of my demon pet, asked on behalf of everyone: "Even if it is a test, it must be done awake? How are you going to do it if you make him faint?"
"This mission is to test Zi Ri's true strength, so all interference factors must be eliminated. Just now I used the special magic power that Nuwa Empress left to me when I was approaching the lower realm. Now Zi Ri's soul has been directly extracted from the body and sent away. Now that we are in the mission space, whether the body here is dizzy or not has nothing to do with the mission itself."
"But how can you ask Ziri to fight if we're not here?" Xiao Chun asked.
"Didn't I say it? This is a test of Ziri's own strength, and all external factors must be eliminated. Bloodline, skills, familiars, equipment, additional attributes, all of these are auxiliary abilities. They do not come from his soul. , so nothing can be used. I don’t think you need to worry too much. There is no punishment for the test anyway. It’s just a waste of time if the mission fails. Besides, since Empress Nuwa asked him to enter the mission in this state, then it must be The difficulty will be chosen based on his situation, and he will not create tasks that he feels are impossible to complete."
"That's right." Ling nodded. The other demon pets saw Ling nodded and did not continue to investigate. Anyway, Mo Ling said that this was a task for testing and giving rewards, and there was no penalty for failure. There is nothing to worry about at all.
Without me, Ling would become the boss here. She clapped her hands, gathered everyone together, and then told most of the magic pets to take the Qilin Warrior and Ring Knight to find a place to level up, while she herself and a few other smarter ones went to level up. Together with my demon pets, they helped me handle some of the work that I should have done, such as entertaining Mo Ling and handling some guild affairs. In short, they couldn't let the guild's work be delayed because of me while I was away.
Although things outside settled down smoothly, I was sent to Nuwa's mission space in a daze. Just now I just saw Mo Ling tapping my forehead, and my eyes blurred, and then I ended up here inexplicably. I instinctively jumped up from the ground, and then carefully observed the surrounding situation. I am currently at the edge of a forest, and from here I can see a small village not far away through the gaps between the trees. I wanted to go to the village to check out the situation, but I didn't expect that after taking only two steps, I suddenly hit an invisible wall and was bounced back. He touched along the invisible wall. It turned out that I was actually enclosed in a barrel-shaped space. It was unclear whether the top of my head and my feet were enclosed. Because I was surprised to find that I was stripped naked. Yes, I was indeed stripped naked, not only my equipment, but even my underwear was left. This discovery scared me and I squatted down quickly. Fortunately, there was no one nearby, otherwise I would have been regarded as an exhibitionist.
"Hello." A soft voice suddenly appeared on the top of my head. I was so frightened that I quickly reached out to cover my vital parts. Just kidding, I'm naked now. If a woman suddenly ran out, wouldn't everyone be seen?
"Who are you? Where are you?"
"Don't you remember my voice?" The other party seems to be very good at playing with other people's will, but this sentence of language that attacks other people's psychology has no effect on him. Because there is a data retrieval system in the dragon's body, there will be no hallucinations or uncertain memories. I quickly knew the owner of the voice after simply checking the memory bank, but the result surprised me even more.
"Empress Nuwa! Don't scare this poor thing like me!"
My answer made the other party obviously stunned, because Nuwa obviously didn't expect that I would think of her voice. Follow the general trick. This method of pretending to be an acquaintance that the other party cannot remember can allow the other party to devote a lot of energy to guessing his identity, thus achieving the effect of weakening the other party's thinking ability, but I actually remembered it. That is to say, this sentence not only failed to disturb my thinking, but also exposed her own identity and made many subsequent strategies useless.
"It's really disappointing that you guessed it!" Nuwa's voice sounded quite disappointed. "Since you have guessed it, I won't joke with you. I think you should know why you were brought here?"
"I only know that I was clicked by your maid. Since I was sent here, it means it was your wish. But I want to know more about what you want me to do by calling me here?"
"Mother Earth said you are smart, and now it seems that you are indeed so. It is really easy to talk to you. Put it this way. I have some rewards that I hope to give to you, but I don't know if you are qualified to receive my rewards."
"Reward? What reward?"
"You will know this after you pass the exam. All you need to know is that you have to take the test now."
I nodded: "In this case, it seems that there is no possibility for me to refuse!"
"Very good. Then let me tell you about the content of the test. This test is mainly to examine your personal strength, but it does not include your external strength."
I nodded again. "Understood, all the magic pets and equipment are disabled." I no longer cowered like before, but stood up and opened my arms. "I guessed it when I saw you stripped me like this."
"Why do you think I've stripped you like this? I'm like a female pervert. I just passed your soul over. I just let you appear in your most original form."
"Please, even if you want me to be on my own, at least leave me some underwear?"
"In fact, this is one of your tests."
"What?" This time it was my turn to be frightened. "Do you mean...?"
Nuwa's proud laughter came from above her head. "Smart children can always know in advance that danger is coming. Unfortunately, even if you know it in advance, it may not bring any benefits. I'll just tell you the truth. I will teleport you to the normal space in a while."
"Normal space?"
"Yes, and naked."
"Naked?" I almost choked. Being stripped down to my underwear and being teleported to this hellish place is enough to depress me. There are only NPCs in the mission space. Even if I was watched, I can still bear it. But if I am teleported to a place with players...I don't dare to continue anymore. I stopped thinking about it.
Nuwa continued to proudly announce her plan. "I will teleport you naked to the center of a city in a while."
"No! God, please be so noble and spare me this time! How have I offended you? Just say it, can't I change it right away?"
"You didn't offend me!"
—
"Then you are so cruel to me?"
"This is just to test your ability to adapt to special circumstances. I don't have any grudge against you, otherwise I would just kill you. Why do I need to conduct this test to give you a prize?"
"I don't want the prize anymore, please let me go!"
"No." Nuwa crushed my last hope. “Once a mission begins, it doesn’t end until it’s completed.”
"Then I won't be able to come back when I go offline. I'll come back when the task expires."
"Hey, this mission has no time limit. If you don't complete it, it will never end."
"Okay, if you're being cruel, why don't you leave me a pair of underwear? Or you can give me an animal skin!"
"I said, not giving you clothes is just to test your ability to cope with special situations. So I won't give you any covering."
"I know!" Now that I understand that there is no room for change, I don't bother to ask for anything anymore. The Dragon Clan has always been more practical. We will not waste any more energy on goals we cannot achieve. "In that case, what task are you going to assign me to do?"
"The target of your mission is her." A beautiful woman with a charming smile suddenly appeared in front of me. I was so frightened that I quickly squatted down to protect my vitals, but soon I stood up again, because I found that the person in front of me was The characters are just projections, not real people at all.
"Is this the mission goal? Why did she offend you and want me to kill her?"
"It's not about killing her, it's about protecting her." Nuwa's voice was slightly angry. "Your mission is to find her in the city I sent you into and deliver her safely to her destination. After that, your mission will be completed."
"Understood." I nodded and asked, "Can I ask a few more questions?"
"I can tell you everything I can."
"First, is the target person an NPC or a player?"
"He's an adventurer."
"A player? Then will there be a large number of players and NPCs intercepting us midway?"
"certainly."
"So can I get information about the Interceptor?"
"No. I can only tell you that some of them are acquaintances of yours."
I nodded. "Can I call for reinforcements?"
"You can't use any other power except yourself, otherwise I will increase the difficulty of equal value. The final result is that you will implicate more people in vain."
"How much fighting power do I have left?"
"It depends on your own performance. You can think of weapons and equipment on your own, but you are not allowed to use the previous funds. Of course, if you make money during the mission, I will not stop you from buying any equipment. As for the magic pet, you It is absolutely unusable unless you can obtain a new magic pet during the mission. But I think this possibility is very slim. Besides, even if you get a magic pet, you will not be able to practice it in such a short period of time. High-level low-level magic pets and The combat power of enemy-level familiars will not differ much. As for your own strength, you can check the attributes yourself. It won’t be very high anyway. In terms of skills, you may not be able to use any of them."
"Last question. Can I use my trumpet Silver Moon?"
"You can still switch to the silver moon state, but the silver moon is now naked like you. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
"The mission objective is clear. You can send me there, by the way. What is the name of my target?"
"protein."
"Protein? This name is really unique!"
Nuwa reminded: "Okay, now I'm going to start teleporting. You will appear in the central area of Yancheng in China in a while, but don't worry, no one will see you within five seconds. This is what I have given you. This is your only protection." After saying this, Nuwa didn't even let me prepare and started counting down. "Three, two, one, start."
"Five." As the surrounding scenes flowed around, I recited this number in my mind, because Nuwa said that I would be safe within five seconds.
"Four." In reality, my body suddenly tightened, and the various life readings on the biochemical reader plugged into me instantly rose above the red line. Several researchers were frightened and thought something had happened to me, so they hurriedly I ran to ask Nuwa, the computer owner of the base, and found out that it was a normal reaction. It's a pity that the base's main computer Nuwa is not the same person as the Nuwa in the game, otherwise I wouldn't be forced into this desperate situation. In just this second, I had forcibly increased my biochemical indicators. The brain processes information in an instant that would normally take several seconds to complete.
I now know that I am indeed in the city center, and in a square full of people. Can you imagine what it would feel like to be naked in a square with at least a few thousand people standing there? However... Nuwa's words are at least credible, because the location she teleported me to was right under the huge sculpture in the center of the square, and at this time, a huge image of Nuwa appeared in the sky directly in front of me. , synchronized with this image is Nuwa's equally loud voice. Because of the attraction of the huge image and sound, everyone in the square is currently looking up at the location of the image. In other words, the people on this side of the sculpture all have their backs to me, and the people on the other side are facing away from me. You can't see my presence because it is blocked by the sculpture. Although this situation can indeed prevent me from being discovered for a while, Nuwa is absolutely right when she says that it only lasts five seconds. As long as she puts her memory away when the time comes, someone in the crowd will definitely come back. And when that time comes, I will immediately appear in the eyes of everyone. I can even think of the title of a hot forum post for a while.
No, I absolutely can't let that happen. It only took me one second to analyze all of this. Then the remaining four seconds are how to solve the problem. Thinking is the easiest thing for me at the moment. My super-fast metabolism brings me the ability to think at full speed. I instantly completed the planning and rejection of thousands of plans in my mind, and finally chose the most promising one. Plan for success.
"Three." While counting the number silently, I started to move. I raised my leg and kicked the sculpture behind me hard, and I was ejected. At the same time, my precise measurement system had checked its own attributes. What surprised me was that my athletic ability seemed to have only dropped a little compared to before. My own guess was that Nuwa's seal only allowed the player to reflect reality. The level of power in the game, and I am also so strong in reality, so even if the attributes in the game are washed away, the movements are still scary fast.
I rushed to my previous goal - the drink stand - within 0.5 seconds. This stall
The sculpture I was standing on was less than two meters away, and my goal was to spread out the tablecloth. This booth is actually a long table. The tabletop was covered with a white cloth that was larger than a bed sheet, and the fruits and other items were placed on the tablecloth. When I was about to reach the table, I immediately squatted down and rolled under the boss's feet, because the boss's back was to me, and he was still looking up at the miracle of Nuwa in the sky. So I didn't notice that I rolled under the table.
Almost without any pause, I rolled under the table and immediately rolled out from the opposite side. The difference was that I even pulled off the tablecloth. Because I move very quickly. After taking off the tablecloth, not a single piece of fruit fell off. However, it was impossible for such a big person like us to appear in front of him without being noticed. Fortunately, when I stood up, the tablecloth had been rolled up around me. What he and the people around him saw was just a person with his head wrapped in the tablecloth. mysterious person.
"Two." Without giving the people around me any time to react, I jumped out before the boss came to trouble me. It was already three seconds before the boss reacted and tried to recover the tablecloth, and at this time I was already two seconds away from him. Thirty meters away.
The miracles in the sky disappeared, and people began to move around again. Even though I was easily identifiable because I was wrapped in white cloth, the flow of people quickly made the boss lose sight of me. I almost rushed into the alley next to the square, but unfortunately, there was a city defense team chasing me behind me. The leader of this group of people is a player, followed by a group of NPCs. They had just seen the boss chasing me, so they immediately concluded that I had stolen something and chased after me.
I already realized it was a dead end when I ran into the alley, but I couldn't go back if there were soldiers chasing me. Once I was caught, I would be discovered running naked on the street. I couldn't afford to lose that. people. Seeing that the alley had reached its end, a two-meter-high blue brick wall appeared in front of it. I accelerated suddenly, and after rushing to the wall, I immediately used the inertia to kick off the wall and rush up. I hooked my hands on the top of the wall and pulled the person onto the wall.
The pursuers behind looked at my perfect move across the wall in one go and thought they had encountered a professional thief. They all froze there while I jumped into the yard behind the wall. Fortunately, this place happened to be the yard of a certain free NPC's house, and there were still some clothes drying in the cold. It would be over if this was a player's yard or commercial unit. It would be impossible for anyone to wash clothes in those places, let alone find clothes. Although these are clothes with no attributes, they can at least cover up the shame. I immediately threw away the white tablecloth, pulled off a pair of half-dry pants and put them on, then found some clothes to put on.
I feel more at ease now that I have clothes. But I couldn't stay here for long. I jumped over the opposite wall and jumped into another alley. There was a man and a woman kissing passionately. I was shocked when I suddenly jumped down from the wall. The man was so angry that he wanted to reach out and grab my collar. I suddenly squatted down and swept him to the ground with a sweep of my legs. Then I jumped into the air and knelt on his neck with my knees down. I heard With a click, the guy's head immediately tilted at a strange angle, and I also received a reminder that the level of evil was increasing. But instead I smiled proudly. It seems that even if I lose my attribute points, I can still deal with these ordinary players. At least my attack power is enough to kill the opponent in a critical attack state.
The woman was so stupid when she found out that the man was dead that she even forgot to scream. I didn't bother to pay attention to her and directly picked up the machete that the man dropped on the ground. This guy is clearly a warrior. Unfortunately, he was killed by me before he even had time to draw the knife, and he was unlucky enough to explode the weapon.
Although he was wearing clothes with no attributes, he had a real warrior weapon. My attack power immediately increased a lot. I can't deal with high-end players, so ordinary people don't need to be afraid. It's a pity that there is no defense now, and it will be very troublesome if I get hit!
The woman behind me didn't think of attacking me until this moment, but I suddenly turned around and glanced at her first. Just this look scared her so much that she retreated to the wall and stood there obediently. I flipped my wrist and quickly pressed it against the woman, pressing her against the wall. At the same time, I pressed the blade against her neck.
"Do you have money?" I needed money urgently, but it was too slow to go out of town, so I chose the fastest way. I know that the woman in front of me is just frightened. In a real fight, I may not be her opponent in my current state, but I don't know that there is no difference between a lion and a sheep who resist. I don't have to be afraid of her until she reacts. Under my coercion, the woman nodded, and I immediately threatened: "Lend me fifty crystal coins, and I will pay you back in the future."
The woman seemed to have regained some of her thoughts and immediately realized that this was not reality. She could be resurrected after death, so there was no need to be afraid. But it's a pity. If she met an ordinary gangster, she might be able to get away with it, but I am not an ordinary gangster. I am a high-level gangster who has received comprehensive psychological knowledge. Before she started to resist, I already said, "You can indeed be resurrected after death, but it is not free to visit the Resurrection Hall. You cannot escape with two crystal coins. Besides, it is not enough to lose one or two levels." Definitely. Even if you are lucky and only lose one level, how long do you think it will take to reach level one? Is it worth it for forty-eight crystal coins?"
"It's fifty."
"You have to give me the two crystal coins for your resurrection anyway. No matter which side you choose, you will have to spend these two crystal coins, so in fact, lending me money is just forty-eight more crystal coins. Besides, you can Do you promise that nothing will happen after you die? I think the equipment you are wearing is worth more than forty-eight crystal coins no matter how worthless it is? Besides, I didn’t say I won’t pay you back. Even though you think I might be robbing you, can you guarantee me? Are you sure you won’t pay back the money? After comparing the two possibilities, do you still want to fight to the death?”
I suddenly noticed that the woman's eyes were wrong, and immediately warned: "You'd better not activate the female protection system. The only thing I have contact with you now is this knife. The main system will not accept the application."
The woman immediately gave up her resistance when she found out that the plan was revealed. After all, what I said was very clear. If we cooperate, the loss will be smaller. After successfully extorting fifty crystal coins, I quickly ran to the City Magical Things Center, which is mainly responsible for handling all kinds of messy needs of players, and I came here to print photos. I spent one crystal coin to print out a screenshot of the image of the woman I saw before into a photo. Then I used ten more crystals to rent a city announcement to post a missing person revelation. Finally, I used the remaining thirty-nine crystals. Coins as a bonus for finding the person I'm looking for.
I think my brain is pretty good, at least so far this method has really played a huge role. After only ten minutes, I successfully got this woman's attention, but the good news was mixed with bad news. The good news is that I know her specific location, but the bad thing is that she was blocked in an alley by the person who intercepted us this time, and the person who intercepted her was actually an old acquaintance of mine.
