Chapter 401 Toilet Portal

Victor stood in front of the sink, frowned, and then turned back.

"You two ate eighty dumplings."

Marger snorted coldly: "Humph, I have no choice. I can only miss my hometown by eating. Now I am a lonely doctor wandering in a foreign country, but I am also just a homesick traveler."

Victor missed V's seriousness, even though he was not that Victor, because he was looking at Marger with his back turned and looking out the window.

"Yes, where is my home..."

A group of mechanical life forms kneeled on the ground holding dumplings and vinegar.

"Leader, I am sad..."

They let out mournful sobs.

Victor felt that Marger was able to make these mechanical life forms evolve into such weird things, and he was very qualified as the leader.

"No need to grieve, my followers."

"The leader..."

"This is my mission, the world is falling apart and it has to take me to the future, present and past to fix them!"

"Leader!"

"When the world reaches the critical point of hope and despair, I will bear all the despair and release all the hope!"

"Master, master, master!"

Snapped!

Victor pressed the button on the indoor fire door to isolate Marger and the mechanical life forms.

It was finally quiet.

Lao Wei thought so and took a puff of cigarette.

"Sister Tea, haven't you finished eating yet?"

"Um……"

Chabai is still eating.

"There is nothing I can do. The race is being promoted and flesh and blood are being recast, so my body is not used to it."

She had already eaten a piece of cake while she was talking.

"That will be troublesome?" Victor asked.

"Quite troublesome." Cha Bai nodded.

[Elf bloodline: A race that is good at using magic. Contact with different elves can increase the bloodline effect]

[Current race: lv5]

[Racial proficiency: 30.3%]

[After the proficiency reaches 100%, there will be a slight qualitative change]

"Bloodline grows in different ways depending on the fate of different people, I guess."

Chabai said minding his own business.

"I am a robot. To use magic, I need flesh and blood as a medium. Elves are a magical race. What you get after upgrading your race is actually flesh and blood, at least for me."

"I don't know what the benefits are..." Victor said.

"Yes." Cha Bai said: "For example, I can use witchcraft, and I can also use magic that enhances strength. Many sage magic cannot be used because of my mechanical physique. As a medium, I am Being half flesh and blood, you cannot gain the trust of the 'god', so you cannot control the complete natural elements. That's probably it."

Seeing that Victor was confused, she changed the topic.

"My current ratio of machinery to flesh and blood is 1:2, about this much."

"But I look at the scan of your body and all the key parts are still connected to the machinery."

"Well, the brain is basically made of flesh and blood, not to mention the subcutaneous blood vessels and flesh. The same is true for the heart. Even the core of the furnace is disappearing. But fortunately, the activity is not affected, and with the reduction of mechanization, I can put [Sai] Bo Psycho] can be used flexibly as a skill.”

"Sister Cha, the only problem is that repairing it is very troublesome."

"Well, I admit that flesh and blood repair and mechanical repair are two different propositions."

Cha Bai looked towards the noisy fire door.

“But with [relievers], everything is fine.”

Behind the fire door.

Marger had enough trouble and sat on the window sill, blowing the breeze and taking a deep breath.

He looked at the group of mechanical lifeforms busy in the yard below. These little guys were packing up things that they would use in the script.

"Hello?"

The cell phone connected to Tombstone's intercom rang and he picked it up.

"You're looking for me?"

On the other end of the voice was Di.

Marjie had contacted Di a few days ago, but Di was not there at the time. He just left a message. Since he was crossing a corridor, which was equivalent to a cross-border country, the signal was weak and the passage of time was uneven, so he waited for a few days for a reply.

"Have any of you participated in the script of 'Corridor World War'?"

Marger got right to the point.

Di was silent for a few seconds.

"Brupp signed up, but I didn't think I could pick him."

"Can't choose?" Marjie was confused.

"There are multiple candidates who meet several specific conditions and will be eliminated in order according to their strength. Finally, two teams will be determined."

"Wait a minute..." Marger interrupted: "Isn't Brupp very powerful?"

"Well, the ace of our guild."

"That……"

"Another entry condition is the total points of the last three scripts. This is relatively unrealistic, and I don't know how to judge it, but Brupp has been in trouble recently."

"Hmph, that's it..."

Di was curious: "You also want to participate?"

Marger didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Di said: "If the best people from each corridor are sent this time... you will undoubtedly be able to compete."

Marger: "Give me some information."

Di was silent for a few more seconds.

"There is a guy named Monroe in the 'Terminal Corridor', who is very similar to your little brother Li."

"Brain?"

"No, he's pretending to be a coward. I just heard that that person is the most powerful at our stage in the end... he may participate in the script. Anyway, try not to provoke them in the early stage."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. Only when there are obstacles in front of you can you live towards the sun."

"Hehe, Brother Ma is still so confident. In the endless journey, you will only choose the most extreme path."

These two chuunibyou can't meet each other. Otherwise, there will be a bunch of strange conversations like now.

But Maljie feels that he has met a confidant.

"Next time we meet, I will treat you to a meal and I will bring wine."

"Then I will bring women."

After hanging up the call, Maljie took a deep breath, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put the cigarette on his lips, hesitated for a while, and put the cigarette box back.

"I have to learn to quit smoking..."

Brother Ma looked at the central tower of Basel in the distance.

"The end..."

"What a trouble."

He opened the panel and checked his data to see if there was anything else he needed to prepare. When he saw the [Identity] panel, he complained because of the phone call just now and his busyness during this period.

"Sometimes I can't tell if I'm the captain or the babysitter..."

[Rescuer 2.0]

[Opening method: Medical value ≥ 50, without any blood-replenishing items, and then choose one of the two... Method 1, rescue ten lives while injured (between HP50% and 30%); Method 2, rescue a creature in danger in various ways, but the premise is that the injury suffered by the creature cannot be caused by you]

[Closing method: 1. Molesting patients; 2. Saving people or things that should not be saved (figure it out yourself); 3. Paying 3,000 gold coins will automatically close]

[Effect 1: Resist three fatal attacks]

[Effect 2: Exchange your life for the regeneration opportunity of those who believe in the second life, and can revive up to two players at a time. If the resurrected person does not complete the script, you will die permanently]

[Effect 3: You can repair your own broken limbs (voluntary), medical value +100]

[Effect 4: Acquire the skill "Staring Treatment". Each time you treat one person, you will get a random ability increase, with an upper limit (such as the maximum strength value can be stacked to 70% strength bonus)]

[Effect 5: Transform into a protector in the form of a spirit for five minutes. The blessing of "Effect 4" is converted into "Blessing" and given to teammates (one person). After the ability ends, "Rescuer" is turned off, and "Rescuer" cannot be turned on again in the script]

[Effect 6: Crush the methane particles spread by the "shit block" to slowly restore the health of creatures other than yourself, about 0.5% per second, cannot be used continuously, and the recovery time is defined by the size of the "shit block"]

[Effect 7: Cannot use any blood-replenishing potions and skills on yourself]

…

"Thanks to your help, Malger's [Rescuer] has reached version 2.0, but it will be more difficult to go any higher."

Li Nuo walked in the alley of Basel.

He turned his head and looked at Soran who was sitting in a wheelchair being pushed by Gardevoir.

"It's not difficult to find the materials for the 2.0 upgrade. The problem is that you need to complete random tasks after that." Soran said leisurely: "You and I both understand."

"Ah, no." Li Nuo pointed at him: "Do you like sitting in a wheelchair so much?"

"The feeling of being pushed is always better than walking by yourself." Soran changed the subject and asked: "Are you sure you want to participate in that world war?"

"Well, I don't know, so I have to look for the staff."

Sauron put on a pig nose while speaking.

The help Li Nuo asked him to help was to find the location of the staff.

Just like the first time they worked together, the props in Soran's hand can find the location of "hidden" things.

There are some secret workers hidden in this place in Basel.

It's hard to confirm where they are hiding.

Now they are walking in the dirty alleys of the lower city of Basel. There are beggars on the roadside, and the cold wind makes these guys lie down.

"The broken gutter dirty my leather boots..."

The speaker is Wenk.

The president of the "Fifth Detective Guild" was dragged here by Li Nuo.

Li Nuo: "Mr. Wenke, don't be so high and might be their leader someday."

Wenke: "That's better than being your president."

Li Nuo brought him here to prevent the possibility of needing the authority of "President".

Li Nuo asked Wenke to find out the general direction, but the specific direction needs to be done by Soran.

The demon hunter's nose can only smell things within a certain period of time. The wooden sign related to the staff has no smell at all. Soran's pig nose can lock the area related to the sign.

Players can only attack the natives in Basel, but they can't explore the hidden elements of the "Endless Corridor".

"What should we do after we find it?"

Sauron pointed to the road ahead and asked.

Li Nuo thought for a while: "Let's talk about it after we find it."

Sauron: "What level are you now? I'm talking about strength."

"Just wait until the racial bloodline is upgraded to level seven and branches out. The rest is no different from before." Li Nuo pinched his chin and pondered for a while: "There should be nothing to be afraid of in the 'Endless Corridor', but it's hard to say about other corridors."

Sauron asked Gardevoir to stop him at the door of a public toilet.

"You have the highest winning rate against the 'Eternal Corridor'. They are a group of melee players, but not as good as you and 2B. The magic and unexpectedness of the 'Sky Corridor' are too strong. If you meet them, report the names of Brum and others, and try not to fight. The 'Death Corridor' is too mysterious. I haven't met many of them. Finally, there is the 'End Corridor'. The 'End' players we met last time were not super-standard."

Sauron paused here. Even though Li Nuo said "not necessarily participating in the competition", he knew that with Li Nuo's personality, he would participate.

"If it were before, you would have rejected this script, right?"

"It's really too troublesome to deal with people." Li Nuo said.

Sauron suddenly asked: "What are you looking for?"

Li Nuo looked at him: "Sauron, it's not good to see people so clearly."

Wen Ke said: "Your shitty sense of security should be put down when you need to."

The three men present were too smart.

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and shrugged, saying, "Like Xing Kai, not being a player, or..."

"What you need to find may be in the prison." Soran interrupted, "It's too dangerous there, so you can't stay in the house. You have to contact more people and see more things with your eyes. Is it for your lover, or do you not like this kind of life... Well, it can't be because Ikaros's world let you see some truth, goodness and beauty... It's really a good place. In short, the above situation has led to your execution of the damn world war this time."

This guy's thinking ability is too hateful, Li Nuo thought.

"It's voluntary." Li Nuo said, "I have other ways, but I need to contact more corridors, and the kind that is not dependent on anyone. I don't want to become a 'hound' of the big guild like Kroyd one day."

Sauron glanced at the central tower in the center of Basel, more than ten kilometers away, and said nothing.

"You don't want to be a player..." Wen Ke was getting more and more scared. He remembered that Nanami had mentioned that Li Nuo had found a way to kill the natives: "Why don't you let me go..."

Li Nuo and Soren ignored him.

Finally, Soren took a deep breath.

"Be careful, call me if you need anything."

"Yes."

"I will send all the gifts before you leave."

"Okay."

Li Nuo waved his hand and pulled Wen Ke's collar to enter the bathroom.

After Wen Ke went in, he covered his nose and looked around.

It was a dirty public toilet with dirty things on the ground. Li Nuo had long been accustomed to [shit blocks] and didn't care, but Wen Ke couldn't. He immediately turned on the faucet and washed his face.

"No, I remember that someone did find out that those mechanical workers were often seen around here, but why is this a public toilet."

"It's very simple, this is something that only we players know."

Li Nuo's voice came from the bathroom cubicle.

"Mr. Wen Ke, come here."

The two faced a particularly clean toilet.

"What do you mean?" Wen Ke didn't understand: "Don't tell me this is a teleportation device?"

"I did have the experience of being teleported by a toilet in a certain script." Li Nuo put on a mask and kicked the toilet button.

The next second, the two were swept into the toilet water.

...

During the "Eternal Life Train", Li Nuo and Maljie were swept into the toilet and went to the front of the train. This time it was the same.

It can be determined that the teleportation toilet is the official "anywhere door" of "Endless Corridor".

"We have to make one..."

Li Nuo picked up his hat and stood up from the ground.

He was wet all over and was standing in the pool.

Look around.

Under the blue sky are intertwined and densely packed buildings. They are not as cramped and dilapidated as the lower floors of Basel.

(About this)

"Isn't this the upper floor of the central tower?"

Wen Ke's voice sounded from beside him.

Li Nuo pulled him up.

"What's going on? I didn't know there was a portal to the upper level until now."

"It's just a restriction on players." Li Nuo said, "We can't come here unless we have a certain level and authority."

"What should we do now..."

"Mr. Wenke, have you ever played a game?" Li Nuo asked.

"Do I look like that kind of person?" Wenke asked back.

Li Nuo put his hat on his head. He said, "Open world games often make a few small passages on the early maps that can lead directly to the later maps. This kind of thing is used to stimulate players' desire to explore and let players take risks in the early stages to get the shortcuts of later equipment."

Wenke stepped out of the pool and said, "What a strange setting."

Li Nuo: "Not strange, you can think of it as an easter egg, such as the easter egg that the mastermind behind the horror game is actually a dog."

Bang!

Suddenly, fireworks were set off on the street next to them.

Li Nuo and Wenke, whose conversation was interrupted, looked over.

A colorful screen was hung on a clock tower.

And on the screen was a mosaic photo of a woman.

There was a large line of words written below: [Countdown to Nanami's visit to the upper area...]

A group of people gathered under the bell tower, and someone was singing with a loudspeaker. The lyrics were roughly "We love Nanami".

"What the hell?" Li Nuo was shocked.

"Didn't Jane sign with an entertainment company?" Wen Ke lit a cigarette and said, "According to you players, her level is not high enough to come to the upper area, but this girl has a good image. Once the advertisement is released, plus the company's publicity, there will be more loyal fans."

"Fan effect." Li Nuo said, "That girl actually has such a day..."

Wen Ke said, "Thanks to you."

Li Nuo said modestly, "Thanks to you too."

They are like two fathers.

But Li Nuo had an idea that Maljie might be killed by this group of fans.

The battle between mechanical lifeforms and fan groups was exciting and fun, so he showed a perverted expression.

"But then again, Mr. Wenk, what's going on with Basel? I mean the relationship with the players."

"This..."

Wenk took a deep puff of cigarette.

"Your manager is called the king, right?"

"Yes."

"I also heard it from my grandma..."

Basel is a corner of the world of "Eternal End". The original setting here is that "humans" have no lifespan and time, and they will not get back on track until some roots are removed.

Wenk's grandma is one of those humans with endless lifespans.

"He killed another manager of the 'Corridor'."

"Huh?"

"Well... it seems that the 'king' originally had a little causal connection with this world, and later he was chased by a group of people and came here. The people chasing him were a group of 'players' from other worlds, and the manager who called himself the 'judge'."

Wenk recalled the video his grandma had shown him.

"The king killed everyone, crushed his own karma, and eventually became the new king."

"Oh, forget it." Li Nuo originally wanted to ask if there was any other way to avoid too much contact with the prison. According to Wen Ke, if he wanted to kill all the players, it was not impossible to think about it, but the manager was really not within his consideration.

One, difficult.

Two, troublesome.

Three, not living enough.

Four, cowardly.

Li Nuo nodded his cane: "Let's go and find the person I'm looking for."

Wen Ke: "Where to find? There are so many buildings here."

Li Nuo looked at a house with a blank sign.

"The location sent to you by the portal is most likely the area closest to the end."

He pointed his cane at the house.

"This is the closest."

"Are you guessing?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go!"

...

[Counting the participating teams]

The staff drank tea and sat on the lounge chairs in the sun.

He didn't feel the danger approaching at all.

"Hmm... Let me see."

The staff stared at the screen. There were six teams in this script. Five teams had accepted to participate, and only one team had not yet accepted.

"Which coward is the one who didn't participate?"

He murmured, clicking on the roster in the computer.

"Team Hum?"

The memories came to the distant past...

"By the way, the idiot who threatened me and asked me to open the back door, otherwise he would find me and get me!"

"Heh."

The staff shook his head and lay back on the recliner with his eyebrows raised.

"Oral trafficker."

Bang!

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Check the water meter!"

"The water meter is outside!"

After a few seconds of silence outside the door, someone knocked again.

"Door-to-door service!"

This time it was a woman's voice.

"Wait."

The staff jumped off the chair and walked towards the door with a Doraemon-like step.

Looking out through the cat's eye, it was a woman's face.

"Liar, you're holding a picture!"

"Do you want me to draw a portrait for you?"

The staff member was startled, the voice came from behind him.

He turned around.

Li Nuo's eyes under the brim of his hat were looking at him.

"If you open the door, I won't have to boil medicine. You're wasting my things."

Li Nuo consciously sat on the recliner in the house.

"As I said at the time, I came to the appointment."

He said he would find the staff at the time, and he really did it.

"If I participate in the competition, as a staff member, what benefits can you give me?"

"At most, I can set the landing location for you, or spoil some of the reward mechanisms in advance... I don't know the rest."

"What about the benefits outside the script?" Li Nuo asked.

The staff member began to think.

"No..."

This guy finally reacted.

"Ah... Why should I follow you!" He suddenly remembered: "As a player, you can't touch me!"

Outside the script time, players really can't do effective harm to staff. If you casually harm official staff in Basel, players will be punished.

"You're right. As a player, I really can't do anything to you..."

"Hahaha!" The staff member put his hands on his waist and laughed proudly: "Idiot! Get out of here! Not only that, I will deliberately target you in the future!"

He stuck out his tongue and made a face.

"Get out like a loser! Hahaha!"

Li Nuo stood up, exhaled, walked around the staff, and walked towards the door.

He opened the door from the inside, and Wen Ke was standing outside.
