Chapter 284 Bloody Love

Anyone who has experience in tomb robbing knows that there are often strange things buried under a strange tombstone.

It’s just that few people would dig their own graves.

Including Li Nuo.

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about digging his own grave, but that was what he imagined himself to be after becoming a ghost. Later, he survived, and the desire to dig his own grave was dormant in his list of “one hundred things to do after death”.

Cha Bai gently pushed Li Nuo away and cast a layer of recovery magic on him, forcing him to close [Residual Blood], and also told him not to mess with me, but to mess with the treasure chest first.

She knelt in front of Li Nuo’s grave and reached out to pull out the treasure chest, just like a widow digging her deceased husband’s grave with her own hands.

Li Nuo frowned and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Behind him was a piece of gold coin printed with Cha Bai’s curve, and in front of him was his own grave. This feeling was so magical.

With a Duang sound, the treasure chest was pulled to the ground by Cha Bai.

She wiped the blood stain left by Li Nuo at the corner of her mouth and looked back at him.

"Open?"

"Open."

Then Cha Bai kicked the box, but it didn't move at all.

Li Nuo had expected that the box in his grave could be opened so easily.

"The usual method is useless. Use the 50-50 key."

Cha Bai took out the thief key that could open the [Shuttle Gate] from the backpack grid and inserted it into the keyhole of the treasure chest.

With a click.

The box opened.

50-50 means 99% accuracy for people with good luck.

For people like Li Nuo, it is 1%.

There was only one book in the box.

The title of the book is "The Book of Travelers".

There is no panel, no instructions, and no pattern on the cover. After opening it, the cover page is printed with a close-up photo of Li Nuo's face, which looks like a wanted poster photo at first glance.

Cha Bai sat on the ground and turned back.

Li Nuo's chin rested on her shoulder. The two of them focused their attention on the things in the book, except for Li Nuo's hand.

"Don't make trouble, let's get down to business first."

Cha Bai twisted her waist.

Li Nuo held it tighter.

"There are photos in here... all over."

Cha Bai looked back, from the first time Li Nuo participated in the new talent screening to the "Ikaros" that just ended, each yellowed page was printed with photos of him during the process.

There were no captions, only photos.

When he turned to the last page, a card appeared in the treasure chest.

Li Nuo picked it up.

The card turned into powder, and then a system-like voice came out of the book.

[5900 additional rations for players in the "Endless Corridor"]

[First of all, congratulations on discovering the "Book of Travelers", which records your travel experiences along the way]

[This book can only be opened after you pass the train test]

[According to statistics, the probability of discovering the "Book of Travelers" in the "Endless Corridor" is 2.2%. After all, few people would think of digging their own graves, and this grave cannot be dug by ordinary methods]

[Now how to use the manual]

[After the script ends, the book will record your story in the previous script, and send the accumulated reward rations based on your exploration of the world and the completion of the task]

[So far, plus Including "Newcomer Screening", you have completed a total of 15 scripts including realistic scripts] (Note: There are two leisure scripts before level 25 that are not described)

[Based on your actions, your comprehensive evaluation is temporarily the highest point "S" position]

[You can get additional delivery rewards in each script]

[Or]

[These fifteen scripts are combined to get two better delivery rewards]

Li Nuo asked: "In other words, I can save it?"

Cha Bai turned his head: "Stupid, this book should not be able to speak."

[No, I can]

Cha Bai: "..."

She had forgotten the long talk with the "Book of Summoning Demons" at the beginning.

[Of course you can save it, so it depends on your own choice]

Li Nuo frowned slightly: "Wait a moment."

He has to do two things.

The first thing is to dig out the old man's chair from the ruins of supplies destroyed by Cha Bai, and the [Fighting Competition Invitation Letter] sent by Sauron.

The second thing is to sit on the old man's chair to restore the durability of the mechanical arm.

Then he raised his hand and pointed it at Cha Bai's grave.

"Cha Bai, get out of the way."

After Li Nuo reminded him, Cha Bai knew what he was going to do, so he dragged the treasure chest away.

"Okay."

He touched the mechanical hand, and his arm blossomed into a round shield, with a pale blue light burning on the surface.

[Demon Flame Cannon]

[Type: Skill]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Learning conditions: Master "Demon Blue Fire", master "Crystal Magic" and other advanced magic factors, spiritual power 70, insight 50]

[Effect: Advanced version of the Dragoon's Torrent Cannon, which fires a gushing blue fire ray in the charging state (consuming more than 90% of the mechanical arm's durability), and an ordinary energy cannon without charging (consuming 70% of the mechanical arm's durability)]

[Brief description: Flame magic created by a magic genius named "Llorente"]

The pale purple flame exploded on the mechanical hand, and a magic cannon surrounded by blue fire exploded on the grave, but it did not cause a ripple.

[Warning: You are digging a grave, this behavior is immoral]

Li Nuo couldn't help but complain when he heard the system's reminder: "It's moral to force people to dig their own graves."

It's obvious that you have to dig your own grave.

Cha Bai didn't show mercy to his own grave, he took out a grenade and threw it over...

Like to see a corner of the treasure chest in the tomb, after pulling it out in the same way, Li Nuo took the [poor quality master key] from her hand.

"Don't..."

Cha Bai knew what Li Nuo was going to do, and kindly reminded him.

Li Nuo didn't believe in evil.

"After all, I am a person who has the skill of [stealing], so it's not so outrageous."

He was just competing with his luck.

From Greenland to the sky train, all the events have proved that his damn luck is simply a treasure of human culture.

But as long as Cha Bai is by his side, his luck is often very good.

Then after inserting the key into the keyhole of the treasure chest, Li Nuo's pupils were startled and his alertness was greatly raised!

He wanted to quickly hold Cha Bai in a princess hug and move away. When his front foot landed, he saw a giant boxing glove flying out of the treasure chest after it was opened.

Li Nuo put Cha Bai down and rushed over. Before the giant boxing glove disappeared, he threw his hat and cut off a corner of the glove. The moment he caught it, he pulled out the cane on his waist and thrust it into the treasure chest. The lid of the treasure chest that was about to be closed was stuck by him and could not be closed.

[A corner of the prank glove]

[Quality: Trash]

[Effect: None]

[Brief description: Don't underestimate trash]

Li Nuo stepped on the lid of the treasure chest that was stuck and could not be closed, and said to Cha Bai with a smile: "Luck is something you have to fight for yourself."

Cha Bai turned his head away and asked himself again... Why was it him...

No matter how noisy it was, business had to be done.

Cha Bai's "Book of Travelers" was similar to Li Nuo's, except that the beginning stage was a scene where she was hit by a Poké Ball.

While she was watching, Li Nuo explained beside her: "I want to check the invitation letter given by Sauron. If it is very dangerous, I will not save it and directly use the "points"."

Li Nuo took the invitation letter out of the envelope.

[Invitation to the Player Fighting Contest]

[This is a randomly sent invitation. We will create an excellent environment for you in a special world to determine who is better and who is not.]

[You have the opportunity to choose a team with whom you have a good relationship as "reinforcements" to participate]

[The condition of the team is: the overall evaluation cannot be weaker than the strength of your team]

Just for this sentence, Soran's selection range is narrow.

So far, there are only two teams in the "Endless Corridor" that are linked to Soran and whose overall strength is comparable to his elite-only gigolo group.

First, the large-scale joint team of Shuangfei Sister Safa.

Second, Li Nuo and the other three.

The main reason why Soran has not created a guild so far is that this guy wants to go the elite route. He knows that with a limited number of players, the way of piling up heads cannot have a big impact on the battle situation, so Soran can only choose Li Nuo.

This four-eyed man doesn't want this either.

He doesn't want to ask anyone but Li Nuo.

It's just that the sentence "the overall evaluation cannot be weaker than the strength of your team" reveals a key information, which can be interpreted from the perspective of Soran and Lino: the difficulty of the fighting competition is extremely high.

So far, you can decide to bring out the things in the book without reading any more.

He continued to read.

[This competition is the internal arena of the "Endless Corridor". There is a small probability that invaders will appear, and there will be "punishers" in the script]

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes. He remembered that the system reminded players of three special intrusion modes after the train assessment.

There is no need to say more about the most common invaders.

There is a kind of "punisher" who needs the approval of the guild to invade other corridors and make trouble. The level or danger level is often very high. Killing this player will get a super large reward and a shopping mall exchange voucher.

Finally, there is the "sinner", the corridor betrayer. I haven't encountered anything like it yet.

Li Nuo continued to read.

[Advance Preview]

[The style of this script is dark, exciting, H, and absurd]

[Its style and overall tendency are more like "Meijin Taichen"]

[The strength of the original world of the script is above lv50]

[Non-game script]

[The Dongzhou HW team formally invites you to become "reinforcements". If the team is in a special situation that cannot be explained clearly, your team can be summoned to join the script as reinforcements]

[This script cannot be exited midway, please consider it after careful consideration]

[If you accept, just silently say "accept the invitation"]

Li Nuo is not entangled, the storms have come, and this one is not a big deal.

Moreover, he has two very clear reasons.

First, in the "Ikaros" script, if there is no Sauron's later rescue, the outcome is difficult to determine, not to mention Llorente, even the two players Brum and the blind girl can cause him a desperate dilemma.

Sauron helped a lot, and he will give it back.

Secondly, and most importantly, this is a good opportunity to pit Sauron.

"Accept the invitation."

[You are not the captain]

"We have to wait until Maljie comes back..."

Li Nuo looked up and saw that Cha Bai's expression was a little strange.

He went over and looked at the photos in Cha Bai's book, his expression also strange: "Why is there a photo of tongues touching each other inside the mouth?"

"This seems to be... in the dream of Night City..." Cha Bai quickly turned the page: "The romantic feeling is gone..."

Li Nuo teased: "Wouldn't it be fine if you didn't stick out your tongue at that time?"

Cha Bai replied: "How can I give you [Summoning Mark] through [Skill Relay] without sticking out my tongue?"

Only then did Li Nuo realize... It turned out that she really thought she had to stick out her tongue to exchange skills... This silly girl...

After Cha Bai finished reading the book, he picked up the card in the box like Li Nuo.

Omit steps.

Li Nuo chose "Fifteen scripts combined to get two better delivery rewards."

Two lights shone in front of his broken tombstone. After the lights disappeared, two things appeared.

One, ordinary stone, but the panels are anything but ordinary.

[Unlock stones*3]

[Brief description: Equipment can be upgraded to a maximum of +12, and the stone is needed to unlock the upgrade limit of weapons and equipment]

[Note 1: After unlocking, the weapon will turn on "deep binding"]

[Note 2: The acquisition channels for this thing are extremely complicated (the players need to reach level 70 before they have a chance to unlock it), please identify the required upgrade equipment to unlock it]

Needless to say, from the description on the panel, it can be seen that the value of the gadget is immeasurable. At least for those below lv60, it is a level-skipping treatment.

It is also due to Li Nuo’s excellent performance in the script...

So, if you always risk your life, as long as you survive, you will most likely get good rewards.

Li Nuo picked up the second thing.

A red ball.

[Randomly change a skill]

Li Nuo thought for a while, logged into the mall on his broken tombstone, and bought a coin to increase his luck.

Instead of pinching the coin, he gave it to Cha Bai and asked, "Am I important to you?"

Cha Bai was stunned for a moment: "Ah...?" Then he nodded with a deep look and an invisible look: "Ah... ah."

Li Nuo instructed: "Crush it and pray that your important person will get good luck."

"I'm really..." Cha Bai didn't know whether to complain or not. Li Nuo obviously wanted to use her luck to give himself a wave of European Emperor explosions.

She crushed the coin.

[Luck value +1]

[Duration 30 seconds]

Li Nuo held up the red ball and licked his lips.

"Oh, let me show you what a real European Emperor is!"

He crushed the ball without hesitation, and with a bang, red smoke emitted from the ball and entered Li Nuo's mouth and nose.

"cough--!"

Li Nuo coughed heavily as if he was being choked.

[Intrinsic potential, qualitative change]

The sound flashed by, and a panel jumped out of sight.

[Enhanced Skill: Aether Blood]

[Includes all entries of "Intrinsic Potential": 1. Running speed increased by 30%; 2. Insight value increased by 30~50; 3. Physical consumption reduced by 15%; 4. Attack power increased by 50%, valid for all attributes ; 5. Endurance is increased by 2 times; 6. The duration is 100 seconds, and the blood is deducted by 1% every second. When the skill is forced to end, it will fall into a state of muscle weakness for 0.5 seconds; 7. The probabilistic triggering probability of all weapons increases by 15%]

[New entry: Blood Mage]

[1. Absorb blood to obtain additional vitality supplement (return blood)]

[2. After the "Blood Explosion Bomb" is penetrated into the target's body, it can be directly linked to the "Seal of Yaksi" to control the target. The dice screening strength of "Seal of Yaksi" is degraded. If the opponent's mind is damaged, the opponent can be controlled through the seal. Action 10 seconds]

[3. Empty all your "medical values" and trigger the skill "Aether Ray", a skill that can only be used once in the script]

[Brief description: Be careful when sucking blood, in case you have HIV]

"It would be great if Marjie was here..." Li Nuo was very sorry that he couldn't find anyone alive to test his power.

But no matter what, this skill is powerful enough, or... it's sinister enough.

At the same time, in addition to the same [Unlocking Stone], Cha Bai also received a book.

【Book of Aether】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Conditions of use: None]

[Effect: Books that integrate magic and turn into weapons cannot be upgraded with stone materials. The user needs to accumulate arsenal of weapons for strengthening]

[Brief description: We divide spiritual power into multiple levels. The top level must be the strengthened "fighting spirit" and "higher magic power". This book covers the setting of magic power. The magic factor is also called ether. Data, high-level ether data is similar to "Crystal Magic" or "Fantasy Magic Factor", lower ones are "Elemental Magic" or "Magic Element". You can convert the weapons you know or master into ether data. , put it in the book, and the book becomes a weapon]

[To put it simply, in fact, it is to store your knowledge in a book and extract the knowledge into weapons at any time to attack the target]

Cha Bai opened the book with blank pages in confusion.

"It's like a memory card. Construct the weapon into a magical form, and then use the book to release it..."

"It just so happens that I don't like using guns, so it can be used as a secondary weapon."

Chabai has an inexplicable obsession with her hammer, and the concept of "stick to it until the end" prevents her from easily changing her main weapon.

Then she picked up the [Unlocking Stone] on the ground and pursed her lips at Li Nuo.

"Go to the weapons workshop and upgrade your cane."

This time I obtained a large number of material stones for weapon upgrades. I originally planned to wait until Marjie came back to get them, but Cha Bai's intention was obvious. He wanted to test the water with Li Nuo's cane first.

After all, that stick was basically an impossible weapon for Li Nuo to replace.

But Li Nuo said very seriously: "Wait until I finish reading the book first."

There are two pieces of information that have not yet been read in "The Traveler's Book".

[Level 60 or above, you can enter the book and unlock the Dream Arena to challenge the BOSS again]

Not important for now.

Then comes the last item.

[Get special rewards: you can change the title once in the script]

【Get a new title】

【Extracting...】

[Get the title: National Alchemist]

[Title skill: Alchemy Specialization, unlock a new use of alchemy, and obtain a "Magic Candy for Pokémon"]

[Get the title: New · Eye Stick]

[Title Skill: Rapid Reaction + Weakness Special Effect]

Li Nuo touched his chin, lowered his head and began to think, even forgetting that Cha Bai was beside him.

"There are too many skills, we need to integrate them..."

"There are always some things that you won't use. First, you have to find something to try out the skill rankings."

Li Nuo was completely immersed in it, thinking about his little skills.

In fact, he was also thinking about the nature of "border prison".

However, from past experience, there is no point in thinking about things without key clues. He is waiting for the contact information from the "Corridor of the Sky". According to Marjie, the guy named Di will definitely contact them. .

There will be many questions thrown at Di.

Blind girl.

cloister.

And what exactly is a border prison?

He had a feeling that the above three things would become stumbling blocks in the future, just like the feeling Master Mirror gave him at that time.

It's just that this time the trouble has changed from the devil to the corridor itself, which is more difficult, so there is no need to rush.

Cha Bai took a deep breath and touched his head.

"We'll talk about it when we get back. First, go to the weapons workshop and unlock the equipment. That's very important."

"etc."

As soon as Li Nuo finished speaking, he felt tea-white lips kiss him on the face.

She said: "Be obedient."

Li Nuo glanced at her and said with a smile, "This trick doesn't work for me."

Then he picked up the [Unlocking Stone] and the equipment upgrade material stone on the ground, stood up and walked out with his head lowered.

Chabai smiled.

In her hand she held the magic book that Dolos had given her.

Under the title page of the book, Doros wrote a line of small words: "If he doesn't obey, kiss him on the face. Remember, this trick will only work if you use it."

The faces of the mature Dolos woman and the old lady alternately flashed through Cha Bai's mind. She looked at Li Nuo's back walking out with the stone, and had to sigh: "Ginger is still hotter when old."

As Li Nuo walked out, he redeemed [Special reward for completing the main plot of the invader: a free skill upgrade opportunity] from the panel.

Skills are picked up automatically.

[Determine the skills you use most and are most important]

[Quen’s Seal Upgrade]

【Upgrading...】

Then a new skill panel popped up in front of him.

[Seal of Albers (fused with crystal magic)]

[Type: Defense and counterattack skills]

[Learning conditions: spiritual power value 20, demon hunter physique, crystal magic power in the body, and similar shield skills]

[Effect 1: Form a mana shield, immune to two damage, can absorb physical damage, cooling time is 1 minute]

[Effect 2: The broken shield falls to the ground to form a simple anti-toxic barrier, lasting 30 seconds]

[Effect 3: The opponent opens the shield at the moment of attack, and the broken shield generates a magic storm, causing the attacker to become unbalanced. At the same time, the user's impact force increases by 25% and attack power increases by 15% within 1 second]

[Brief description: Auntie’s towel exploded! 】

Li Nuo stopped.

Turn your head.

He looked at Cha Bai who was collecting gold coins on the ground.

"Chabai."

He walked back.

Chabai looked up.

"Um?"

"Hit me."

"..."

"Listen to me, hit me, I want to try a skill."

Cha Bai stood up and moved his joints, making a crackling sound.

"You asked for it."

"Um."

The words fell.

Cha Bai came over and hit Li Nuo on the shoulder with a light punch.

At this moment, Li Nuo activated the [Seal of Albers] he had just learned, and a honeycomb-like orange shield bloomed in front of him.

Cha Bai shattered the shield.

The moment the shield disintegrated into translucent fragments, Li Nuo induced the shield effect3.

The storm composed of magic blows away the brown hair, and when she is slightly unbalanced, her blue eyes look at Li Nuo's sudden speed increase at close range, and he holds her shoulders with both hands.

Turning around, she was pressed against the piles of gold coins by Li Nuo again.

This time Li Nuo put his forehead against hers and said, "It seems that your trick is useless to me."

Cha Bai let out a long breath: "Then, if I still win this time, kissing your face will be effective in the future."

"Okay." Li Nuo responded, took out [Dragon Cavalry's Decoction] and drank it. (Causing damage to the enemy will absorb 15% of the damage to restore health and add a temporary armor)

Then he took out his gun again and transformed into shotgun mode.

But this time Cha Bai took the gun from his hand and pointed the gun at Li Nuo's temple.

"I'll do it."

She gently pulled the trigger.

Two bullets fired at the same time shattered Li Nuo's [Kenny's shirt] protection against fatal attacks.

[Residual Blood] is turned on again.

The blood flowed along the gold coins to the ground, and little by little it went under Li Nuo's tombstone, which was being repaired by itself.

A few minutes later, a coughing sound came from the tombstone.

Another call request from Soran.

Li Nuo raised his mechanical hand and blew up his grave again.

…

In a certain space.

Soran sat in front of his tombstone, frowning.

A line of words was printed on the call panel that popped up on the tombstone:

[The other party is busy, I don’t want to connect for the time being]

Sauran’s brows were getting deeper and deeper.

Kasim reminded from the side: “Captain, Li Nuo and the others may be sorting out their equipment, so don’t worry about the invitation letter.”

Sauran said: “I’m not only looking for him for the invitation letter, but also for other things, and even if I’m sorting out my equipment, I can’t not answer the call. Damn, he closed my permission to go to their space…”

Kasim: “Don’t worry, maybe they will hold a celebration party by themselves. Think about it, there are more than three of them, there is also Victor, a dragon lady, and a bunch of robots, they don’t have time to care about you.”

Sauran shook his head, feeling that Li Nuo and the other three were not the type to hold a celebration party. After thinking about it, he sighed helplessly.

“What the hell is this kid doing!”
