Chapter 254 After Waking Up

Basel Central Tower.

Middle area.

In order not to hinder the lives of the indigenous people, the communication areas for players are basically placed in three places.

1. Personal or team space.

2. Guild.

3. Tea room.

Let’s talk about the first type first. Space is actually a piece of real estate. No one cares about what you do in it, such as a certain demon hunter or sorceress.

But it must be admitted that as the team becomes more familiar with each other, apart from upgrading, the space is basically a shared house concept, and people rarely do serious things in the space.

In the second type of guild, relatively few people choose to communicate within the guild. Since the players in small and medium-sized guilds are not very different, the situation of "what are you looking at" and "what are you looking at" often occurs.

In addition, there are specific areas for guild locations, and there are many restrictions within the area, except for a certain fraud group.

Therefore, the third type, namely the tea room, often becomes a place for players to communicate.

The teahouse is located on the mezzanine between the ground floor and the upper floors of the central tower, and you need to reserve a spot in advance.

There are six people sitting at a long table indoors, four of whom are players from the "Arctic Circle Guild".

The "Arctic Circle Guild" can be considered a small to medium-sized guild.

The president, Prometheus, put his legs on the table. He held a cigar in his mouth that could emit air freshener. The brim of his thick cowboy hat almost covered his eyes in shadow. At this time, he lowered his head and played with it in his hands. with silver coins.

There were two people sitting on either side of him.

One of them is named Bian Zu, the captain of the player team "Dharma".

This guy looks very recognizable. First of all, he is bald. Secondly, he has no eyebrows.

These two can be regarded as the "big brothers of the underworld" among players.

The reason why both of them appeared in a tea room was because the Arctic Circle was going to go bankrupt.

The composition of the guild is linked to the total amount of gold coins. The richer the guild, the higher the upper limit of the number of members, so a problem arises.

In the "Cyberpunk" script, half of the people in the "Arctic Circle Guild" died.

Their current composition is basically no longer a guild, at best it is a small team with a large number of people.

In this case, if the "Corridor War" happens, the guild will be forced to enter the script. Because there are too few people, the risk factor will increase exponentially.

The previous interim president, Zha Su, died, and several high-end combat players also died. Now the guild only has about a dozen "logistics" players left.

Prometheus looked calm, but he was worried.

They were waiting for someone, and no one spoke in the tea room.

However, they didn't just sit there. They all held recreational tools in their hands, such as coins that could be plated, handheld video games, snacks, and intracranial video playback systems.

The food and recreational supplies in the Endless Corridor have no BUFF effect except to satisfy hunger and relieve stress. However, because these products are so cheap, the sales in the mall are surprisingly good.

For players who have thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on hand, these gadgets are as cheap as buying a bottle of water in real life. For example, Chabai bought a basket of flip-flops.

But there are also restrictions. You cannot trade things from the mall with the indigenous people.

Are these the only cheap and boring things in the cloister? Definitely not.

In addition to the products that are close to the people, there are two types of products, such as relatively high-end products... products that are expensive in real life... such as brand-name bags, expensive clothes, watches, etc. These products are all based on Real world time brings forth the new.

There are also items that are particularly useless and have no meaning in the mall, such as underwear worn by zombies, a dead fly, a broom abandoned by the cleaning lady...

There is actually another category further up, including ammunition, first-aid bandages and other hospital gift packs. This category is what players buy most, but the price is slightly higher.

"Oh, are you all here?" The door of the tea room automatically opened to one side.

The guy with a Poke Ball hanging on his belt walked in.

Neck.

During the battle in Kowloon, he was the only "high-level" player among Zha Su's group to survive.

The definition of high-level players is very loose. The actual combat power of these players exceeds the numerical limit of level, and they have many unexpected tricks.

Most situations are defined based on the performance of the train assessment script, but the difficulty of the train assessment is different, which results in some "high-standard" actual abilities that are not as outrageous as imagined, such as Prometheus and Neck.

But there are also a group of perverts who have high standards that far exceed the collective consciousness of the players.

For example, two shameless people who are having a great harmony in life, or a four-eyed guy who is worried about where to kidnap a female team member.

Nick did not sit down, but stood at the door. He hated the atmosphere of this kind of meeting and hated cooperating with other people, so he was still alone without a team.

People like him join the guild for nothing more than the "capital value" of the large team, that is, it can give him extra nutrients to tame "Pokémon" every month.

"Here we come." Prometheus changed his legs on the table to cross each other, glanced at the bald Bianzu next to him, and said, "Do you all know him?"

"Well, let's get down to business."

Nieke eliminates useless social links.

"Let me tell you the result first. The 'Fifth Detective Guild' is real."

Prometheus frowned slightly.

He thought that the panel reporting the bell was the aboriginal's new trick to defraud...but he couldn't say it out loud. To put it bluntly, it would be unreasonable to say it out loud.

In fact, it's not just Prometheus who thinks so.

If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe that a group of scammers from Basel natives destroyed the Mirror Master in the cyberpunk world? This is even more outrageous than dreaming of Jerusalem warming your bed.

"That……"

"Okay, I have something important to say, so I'll tell you directly." Nick leaned against the wall, changed his posture, and said: "The other party is a male player wearing a black priest's coat and holding a mercury cane. He is [Residual Blood By】."

Prometheus: "Same as Chasu?"

Nieke nodded: "But it's not even the slightest bit better than Zha Su."

Da da……

Bian Zu knocked on the table.

"It's a pity that Zasu died like this. Originally, we were the ones who relied on us to pay tribute to the Grand Guild." He touched the top of his shiny head, leaned back on the chair, and said with a little anxiety: "Thanks for our special efforts. Hiding the information about his [Identity Holder]... was all in vain, Nick, that [Remnant Blood Man] who is more powerful than Chasu, how many of you have been killed this time?"

Since the "Fifth Detective Guild" is a guild, it has at least seven or eight people, and at most, there are dozens.

The guild members who enter the script must have at least ten people as a base guarantee. Depending on the status of the script, you can ask for help from the same guild in the future. The maximum number of members can even exceed 30, but you have to spend money.

So Nick's next words caused Bald Lao and Prometheus to fall into a long silence.

"He killed them all by himself."

About a minute passed.

Nick: "Is there anything else?"

Prometheus put his legs down from the table, lowered his head, reached out his hand, and pinched the bridge of his nose gently: "No...what's going on?"

Nick said emphatically: "Well, he killed everyone including Chasu, including an intruder who cooperated with us, and a violent group of hundreds of people from the Fierce Ghost Gang. Ah, by the way, there was another Pile of monsters we cultivated, ah, also, does the saliva demon know? It is the giant centipede in "The Witcher" that can destroy the city. He was repelled. Let me think about it again..."

Prometheus: "Can you... write a report?"

Nick: "Does it still have to be a movable PPT? I'll go to hell with your ancestors!"

"Damn, wait a minute, my mind is a little messed up..." The bald Bian Zu touched the top of his hairless head: "Is he still a top-notch super-standard?"

According to their information, a certain player wearing Artelius armor jumped a level and took the Immortal Slash of "Sekiro". This type of player is top-notch even among high-level players.

"Last month, a [man with residual blood] came out of a certain train. It must be him."

Prometheus rubbed his chin.

"Where are his teammates?"

Nick: "There seem to be three people in their team. I only saw one of his female teammates. She has a special physique and can fight with deer-headed spirits. She is a very strange person. According to the woman, there is another person in their team."

Prometheus: "Nike... don't show off..."

"Then you should be mentally prepared." Nick took a deep breath and said slowly: "Their guild...or in other words, the player in their team who did not show up is stronger than the [Remnant Blood Man] and that woman."

"Are you sure?" Prometheus asked.

"That woman said it herself." Nick picked his ears and nodded impatiently: "Looking at their equipment, that guy should be a mechanical player, one of them is like a corps."

Prometheus: "Details of their weapons."

Then Nick pulled out a chip from the back of his head: "I'm too lazy to talk about it, anyway, their image data is stored here."

The chip was connected to the "universal computer" in the tea room, and a flickering screen popped up on the screen.

The bald man asked the person next to him to take out a camera that did not require a plug. The machine reflected a virtual large screen divided into three scenes. In each frame, there was a figure with mosaic graffiti all over his body.

These people are players from big guilds.

Players below level 60 cannot contact the Grand Guild. This is considered as a way for the Corridor to protect some players who don’t like to play with interpersonal relationships, but this does not mean that they cannot make calls.

Many players above level 40 will seek resources from large guilds, thus becoming a lackluster player.

"Did everyone hear it?"

After Bian Zu asked, a processed sound came from the screen.

"Look at the image."

"It seems that [the person with residual blood] needs to be redefined."

"Shut up and watch the image first."

As the video recording the chaos in Kowloon ended.

They set their sights on Cha Bai.

"Although there is a difference between the second dimension and the third dimension, she..."

"Well, A2 or 2B."

"Was he conquered by the elf ball, or did he appear in the "Endless Corridor" due to some kind of opportunity?"

"I don't know, and it doesn't matter."

"Prometheus, don't worry about this group of people. You can't control them, but you need to take precautions."

Benzu: "To restrain the Yorha cyborg, you need a virus, and I happen to have a 'logic virus'. Do you want it? In exchange for gold coins."

Prometheus put his legs on the table again: "Okay, but old Bian, you lend me a sum of money, and I will pay you back next month."

Bian Zu pointed out two fingers: "20% of the principal."

"Deal." Prometheus didn't hesitate at all. Adults understand what it means to be reluctant to let go of your wife and not to trap the wolf.

At this time the person on the other side of the screen continued:

"Remember three things."

"First, that woman is very special. She should be able to subdue her by using the 'logic virus'."

"Secondly, the biggest problem is the player who did not appear behind them. That person is most likely their captain. If we encounter them again, capture the thief first and capture the king first."

"Third, don't tell anyone about the Fifth Detective Guild. If possible... we want them. If not... we must find a way to destroy them."

Nexu asked with his eyes: "Then, where is [the one with residual blood]?"

The person on the screen said: "Compared to the above three items, [Remnant Blood] is not that important. It cannot be the player himself who defeats the Mirror Master, it must be the rules."

The screen turns off.

Prometheus shrugged his shoulders: "The meeting is dismissed."

However, before leaving, Nick reminded: "Prometheus, I have an intuition that the [residual blood person] may be the most deadly."

Prometheus thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, I have a way to find out the location of their next script..."

…

Li Nuo opened his eyes.

Staring at the ceiling absently.

The time on the wall of the room is 10:23 am.

He was in a daze for more than ten seconds, and the images in his dream quickly faded away, leaving only the soreness that had not dissipated.

The sunlight outside the window hurts my eyes.

The witcher's sensory system is too sensitive.

Usually he hates seeing and smelling so many things, which makes him feel like a dog, but now he tries to grasp this feeling, the temperature, humidity, gas molecules of the surrounding environment...

There is also short titanium white hair that is almost transparent when illuminated by the sun.

White hair, breathing, humming, and the unique fragrance of pear.

Cha Bai closed her eyes and snored lightly on her soft cheeks facing him.

Li Nuo stretched out his hand and gently slid it over her hair.

Cha Bai opened his eyes a small slit, raised his eyes, and carefully observed the scar that penetrated Li Nuo's left eye.

Then slowly plunged into his arms.

"Want more?"

"No."

"Then you lose."

"Chabai, your strange desire to win..."

"I learn it from you."

Li Nuo didn't refute, took a deep breath, then opened the bed and climbed out.

This is the third floor of the space house. It is the room where Chabai used to live alone.

He put on his clothes hastily.

"I'll check out the reward."

Then he opened the door and went out.

Cha Bai looked at the closed door with a faint smile on his face.

outside the door.

Li Nuo held on to the wall, walking as slowly as a minor who was deceived by his parents into going to the hospital to have his skin removed in the name of going to the aquarium.

He walked down the stairs step by step, his face tense.

"Oh my god..."

When we reached the second floor, we almost fell to the ground.

"ah……"

When we got to the first floor, when we saw the old man's chair, we climbed over as if we were seeing a savior.

"Help……"

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief when he sat on a chair that could recover from his injuries.

Then he pulled out the [Infinite Battery Life Chip] from the equipment slot.

"Lord Triss, there is a monster in your sorceress church..."

After Li Nuo calmed down a little, he began to think about the business in detail.

"Light blue is the ready state...pink is the start...red is the entry state...the above colors flip and flash at the highest power..."

He felt like he was criticizing the strip lights in the hair salon.

There were footsteps outside the door.

Marger walked in from outside with a frown.

"Hmph~ Have you changed your job to become a great sage?"

"Ah, Brother Ma... I feel like we are three years apart..."

Marger took a deep breath and couldn't help but cover his nose: "I'm going... the air is damp!"

Li Nuo said: "The [Infinite Battery Life Chip] was almost broken..."

Marger: "?"

Li Nuo: "Although there is basically no electricity leakage... I really didn't expect the problem of water conductivity..."

Marjie: "Fuck..."

Li Nuo: "I saw something very strange..."

Marger: "Huh?"

Li Nuo gestured: "Are there any similar things in your scientific cognitive field?"

Marger: "What magic are you talking about?"

"It's okay..." Li Nuo looked at the ceiling resentfully and asked melancholy: "Old Ma, what should I do when I return to reality..."

Marger took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.

"I don't smoke."

"You need this."

Li Nuo shook his head: "No, no, if I get whipped, I will lose."

Marjie was shocked, what are you comparing...

"I don't care. I'll work overtime anyway. Now let's take a look at the rewards and make a schedule for tomorrow."

Brother Ma is different from Li Nuo who is casual and peaceful. He likes to make damn life plans.

Li Nuoxu stared, leaned back on his chair, and said listlessly: "I've seen it all."

"Aren't you busy?" Marger asked.

Li Nuo: "I took a look while I was peeing."

Marjie was shocked: "You are too ambitious..."

Li Nuo briefly described it in a deadly tone.

…

The first is a box of [Gwent Weather Cards] in a playing card box.

Three types of cards, 12 each.

[Acid Rain], with the user as the center, drops acid rain, all siege heavy weapons within the range will malfunction, and the deflection rate of long-range weapons will increase by 50%, and the effective time will be 5 minutes.

[Frost Mist], the same as above, the melee damage of all units within the range is reduced by 50%.

[Dense Fog], the basics are the same as above, the long-range damage of all units within the range is reduced by 50%, and the bullet consumption is doubled.

It's a very powerful prop.

There are also restrictions. A single player can only carry two cards, and a team or guild player cannot reuse the same type of weather card.

…

[Dream Hunter’s Warehouse].

A well-made small box dedicated to Li Nuo, which can be opened once a day.

Let's put the panel on.

[Dream Hunter’s Pandora’s Box]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: For those of level three or above demon hunting-related races, it can be opened once a day. The things that pop up are usually props from "Bloodborne" or alchemy materials from an unknown dangerous world]

[Brief description: Xiao Ming opened his father’s drawer, and a week later, his parents divorced]

This thing has the duality of gods and ghosts, but there is a lower limit. The props in "Bloodborne" are often relatively good, and it is even possible to obtain rare strengthening stones such as "blood gems".

Li Nuo tried it, wondering if it was stained with tea white, and was lucky enough to get a [Monster Pill].

【Monster Pills】

【Excellent quality】

[Effect 1: After eating, a beast transformation slot will appear in front of you. Kill hostile targets and accumulate the beast transformation slot. When the slot is full, the power of the attack will increase by 1.2 times, and the target being attacked will be given a bleeding BUFF]

[Effect 2: People without the "Dream Hunter" tag will turn into monsters after eating them]

[Brief description: The process of hunting a beast is also the process of becoming a beast]

…

Then there is ["Devil's" soul fire].

A cloud of black mist can extract mutation-inducing substances.

In other words, this thing might be able to make the "Mirror Master" potion.

But it will take some time. Anyway, they don’t need to rehearse scripts this month, and they have a lot of time.

…

Then came the changes to Li Nuo's robot hand.

[Demon Cang Yan: You can use the manipulator to spread explosive dust and use "crystal magic" to detonate it]

["Manipulator PUNCH LINE Rocket Punch" has been combined with "Puppet Line": the manipulator can be modified]

[Obtain new blueprints for the "robot", and the shopping mall is temporarily open for purchase of production materials]

…

Marger used a tablet to record work arrangements: "In other words, you need me to fix the robot arm."

Li Nuo said seriously: "My manipulator does not need to be a biogas system."

Marger: "Humph."

Li Nuo: "There is also a big gift package, which is all for drawing cards. Let's wait until tomorrow to get it. My bones hurt..."

Marjie nodded, then took out another cigarette and said in a particularly pitiful tone: "I've been here too, so let's smoke one. I bought it when I was racing in Cairo to relieve the pain."

As soon as Li Nuo's dog nose smelled it, he knew that the smoke was filled with the powder of "Psycho Gas" that he had made.

"Want to watch me have fun?"

"Hmph~"

Li Nuo backhanded a [Seal of Yaksi].

"Marjie, your [beep] experience."

The seal takes effect.

The judgment point is "12".

The number given by the die is "14".

Li Nuo didn't know why, but the use of [Yaksi's Seal] on Marjie was always successful.

I saw Brother Ma's eyes blankly.

He said with a spoiled expression: "When I was fourteen years old, a widowed woman moved next door. She was about three rounds older than me and weighed about 120 kilograms. One night, I watched her bow too much. So, I went to help carry the gift to her door. I wanted to leave, but she took me as a gift and dragged me into the house. I am a late bloomer and my development is relatively slow. I can’t beat someone of that level..."

There were footsteps outside the door.

Nanami was verified by Marger not long ago and entered their space.

Just walked to the door at this time.

Nanami raised the robot hand and touched her cheek: "Why is the air here so humid?"

Li Nuo shushed her.

Nanami hasn't wondered yet.

"Li Nuo...you are really amazing this time..."

"Shh!"

Li Nuo made another silent gesture and pointed at Marjie.

Nanami sat on the pile of books, holding her chin with her hands. As Marco's words deepened, her expression gradually changed.

"I was fifteen years old, and a second-married woman moved downstairs. She was okay, just two years older than me. One day, she suddenly knocked on my door and said that the computer at home was broken. I went over there. Look, there's no bolt, but she put the bolt in... She's 102 kilograms..."

"I was sixteen years old. I was determined to become a doctor. I worked part-time and enrolled in a cram school. Around winter, when it got dark early, on my way home, I actually saw a man who could speak human language in the woods. Chimpanzees……"

"I was seventeen years old..."

"Li Nuo...story collection?" Nanami was dumbfounded.

Li Nuo cut off the seal, and Nanami suddenly realized it and covered her mouth unconsciously.

Li Nuo said: "I once suspected that you were a parasitic species left on this planet by the swamp planets."

Marjie changed a cigarette and lit it. After taking a puff, he said melancholy: "Li Nuo, I am your ancestor..."

Li Nuo: "My ancestors shouldn't be that heavy..."

"Stop fooling around..." Nanami couldn't stand it anymore and changed the subject: "I have something very important. You guys seem to be famous."

The two looked at Nanami together.

His eyes looked helpless and weak.

"oh……"

"snort……"

Then Li Nuo concluded: "It's none of our business."
