Chapter 528 So We Still Have to Challenge Eight Gyms

"If the difference between the player level and the player is no more than ten levels, it means that the task can be completed alone. If the difference is within ten to twenty levels, it is more difficult to complete the task alone. If you go higher, you need the support of a team. After that, everything depends on fate..."

Li Nuo murmured.

Ting Ge looked at him curiously: "What are you talking about?"

"What am I talking about..." Li Nuo was still mumbling: "I'm talking about the criteria for judging the difficulty of the task..."

Ting Ge looked at the difficulty reduction level on the panel and said: "Your companion has the skill of suppressing power. If so... it should be that the system determines that the difficulty has been reduced after she releases her power."

"How is it possible..."

Li Nuo's eyes were tight, and blood vessels burst out from the corners of his eyes.

"This is a fucking Bianyu script!"

[Magic Suppression] is released, and magic factors seep out of Li Nuo's pores, and blue flames rise into the sky!

"Cha Bai!"

"Ah?" Cha Bai heard Li Nuo's cry, and the moment his pupils moved to the side and back, he caught a glimpse of a shocking scene.

There is a ghost in the woods.

It looks like a mist ghost.

She suddenly understood one thing: the system panel or one of the players was affected by something in the forest, and thus saw the illusion that the difficulty of the task was reduced.

At the same time,

the giant monster that the lighthouse turned into rolled up trees all around, covering the moonlight, and the underground vines that rose from the ground layer by layer quickly formed a high wall to separate Cha Bai from everyone.

All this happened in less than a second.

Cha Bai's heart palpitated.

When she wanted to move just now, she found that she couldn't move.

Her pupils could still move, and she saw stone-like cracks in her lower body from the corner of her eye.

She sweated on her forehead and thought of something bad.

Warlock magic, crystal magic, no matter what kind of magic book, there is a special form of magic, or it is not called magic, but superpowers.

Not interacting with any magic, directly penetrating the human body to control thinking is a kind of superpower.

Just like when Miss Tiger Eye used superpowers to control Lillian from a distance through the camera.

Cha Bai only learned about this thing later.

[Superpower: Petrification]

Inside the window of the lighthouse, a beautiful figure was staring at her.

The woman's body was translucent, her soft long golden hair fluttered, and her slender fingers pressed on the glass, drawing a circle around the tea-white.

"Imprison, crush."

...

The Pilgrim Town.

The mayor Papagus was sitting at the desk, looking at a commemorative photo album.

The oil lamp on the table illuminated a page in the album.

In the photo, a man with long black hair was holding a photo and showing off his lover to his friends.

Papagus's memories came to seventy years ago.

She and Jimmy No. 1, who was still a human, visited a superpower girl in order to defeat the evil demon. They hoped that the girl could go with them, but the girl's lover finally left the forest instead of her.

Papagus still remembers the reason why the man left.

——"If the war comes, none of us can stay out of it. As a woman, you should wait for me to come back at home."

The old mayor Papagus took off his glasses and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.

Then the man died.

The young Papagus took the man's belongings back. The girl was not angry, sad, or complaining. She just kept her lover's belongings silently.

This included the gear that could save Jimmy No. 1.

Time passed, and the girl died.

And that forest became the Misty Forest today.

The girl did not leave her name, so everyone called her "Mystery".

Papagus closed the album and looked back at the map of the continent hanging on the wall.

"If I guess correctly...the first stop of the gear is the Misty Forest. The two little ghosts will be beaten up by "Mystery" and sent back."

Thinking of this, she picked up the phone and asked the nurse who was on night watch in the town to prepare the healing medicine.

...

[Mission Update]

[The lover of the Hundred Battles Brave, a superpowered girl living in the depths of the dense forest, lived in seclusion here because she was not accepted by the secular world. Seventy-five years ago, a boy who called himself "Hundred Battles Brave" mistakenly entered the forest, and the budding love between the boy and the girl blossomed...]

[The boy died]

[The girl is waiting for him]

[Seventy years, the forest has turned into mist, the living have turned into corpses, and she is still waiting]

The girl's ghost drew a circle on the window, and the leaves and vines of the forest wrapped the white-haired girl inside, constantly tightening.

[Her name is "Mystery"]

[The owner of the misty forest]

[She still misses the days and nights when the boy protected her behind him]

The girl behind the window clenched her right hand with five fingers.

A small piece of the rock and vines that wrapped the white-haired girl outside the window fell off, revealing a gap.

"Asshole..."

The girl's ears moved: "?"

In the dense vines wrapped in tea white, the light of the silver pupil pierced out from the darkness!

The ghost "Mystery" swallowed subconsciously.

The vines wrapped around Cha Bai were knocked away by the blue flames, and the blue flames instantly wrapped the entire lighthouse with the vines.

The blue flames covered Mystery's sight. Through the translucent flames, she could vaguely see the scene of Li Nuo holding Cha Bai in his arms.

Mystery: "......!?"

She felt that this scene was familiar, especially when she saw the smile on Cha Bai's face.

"I can't bear the pain if you don't come." Cha Bai smiled at him, full of joy.

"I can't help myself with this kind of thing." Li Nuo unscrewed the hanging [Cross Holy Glory] with one hand and shouted: "Do it!"

Li Nuo held his brown-white hand and moved his fingers, and the magic factor formed a special flame, which was structured into [eight wine glasses] and poured into the fire burning the lighthouse. The mysterious lighthouse monster was immobilized by the flames.

The white light of the holy light and the [Seal of Arden] printed in the demon hunter's pupils combined to pierce the lighthouse and the mystery inside the window.

Brother Ting felt that he shouldn't just watch, so he made a gesture of holding the moon. When he held the moon with his five fingers, the moonlight seemed to disappear. The skill [Moon Explosion] can only be used at night, blinding the target briefly (about 5 seconds).

in the dark.

Mi smiled indifferently. Seventy-five years ago, he first met a young man who claimed to be "the brave man of all battles." The mysterious monster attacked Mi, and it was the boy who protected him.

"..."

The person who is hit by the Eight Wine Glasses will have their sense of time stopped, and their consciousness will become blank for a certain period of time.

Li Nuo once tried the move with Marjie, Xiao Wu and Nanami. [Eight Wine Glasses] can freeze targets with high magic resistance for up to two seconds.

Two seconds is enough time to do a lot of things.

For example, Cha Bai has already rushed into the sky, stepped on the roof of the lighthouse with his heels and leaped into the sky into the night, with electricity gushing from his hips, holding up the enlarged hammer in both hands, the mechanical arm's [Nero Bullet, Powerful Charge] spurting out power, and [Ghost Back] Turn on, [Dominus's Seal: Toguro Ludi] to increase muscle strength and accumulate power! The heavy hammer slammed down!

When the hammer and the lighthouse are only half a meter apart...

[Side mission completed: The girl’s hundred-year wait]

Chabai: "Huh?"

The lighthouse fell apart together with the trees it rolled up. Chabai lost his strength and hit the fallen tree with a hammer. Ripples echoed in the air, and then sawdust flew everywhere like a heavy rain.

She pulled it out from the ruins: "What happened...ah..."

Cha Baiju was unhappy. She wanted to use all her enhanced skills to deliver a massive blow to verify the strength of her full blow, or whether she could still fight against the Border Prison scenario.

However, the lighthouse does not give face.

It collapsed on itself.

Fortunately the rewards are still there.

Li Nuo dug out a treasure chest from the rubble, which was something he didn't have before.

"Could it be a Mimic?"

With this thought in mind, he used the [Wind-cutting Blade] on the lid of the treasure chest.

Brother Ting behind him was dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw someone using skills on a treasure chest without evil spirit.

Marger explained: "Woof."

Meaning: From the panel fraud, it can be seen that past experience is useless in the prison script, so his approach is to be cautious.

Brother Ting thought the dog was hungry, so he picked up a branch from the ground and stuffed it into Brother Ma's mouth.

[Task reward: 25,000 experience points (blessed by the Focuser)]

Cha Bai touched the corners of his eyes, released the magic of crying, shed a few tears, and closed the [Focuser].

She stood up and walked to Li Nuo, and looked inside the treasure box with him.

Inside the box were stacks of photos.

[The guardian of the misty forest, the most cherished treasure of the super girl "Mystery"]

Li Nuo picked up the photo and looked at it. He and Cha Bai squinted their eyes together.

"This woman's most cherished photo is actually a bed photo..."

He bundled the photos and stuffed them into his pocket.

Cha Bai squatted down and took out a bunch of daily necessities from the bottom of the treasure box. These things were proof that the super girl and her lover had survived.

She sighed with emotion: "Really ordinary is the true nature of life."

[Focuser has been turned on]

She touched her eyes and shed tears.

[Focuser has been closed]

Brother Ting is still watching, always feeling that there is something wrong with this pretty girl's brain, why is she always crying...

"Found it."

While Cha Bai was crying, Li Nuo took out the [Ancient Mechanical Gear] from the bottom of the treasure chest.

At least this thing has a panel.

[Dangerous Agent Side Mission Update]

【Save Jimmy's life】

[Mission update: One gear has been found, and there are four more]

At this moment, Cha Bai noticed a strand of translucent golden hair floating on Li Nuo's shoulder.

The hair suddenly came to life under the moonlight and dark night, turning into words they could understand and clearly printed on everyone's retinas.

——"There were a total of seven warriors who defeated the evil demon back then. This gear was found in the evil demon's fortress. It is said to be a relic from a more distant era. It may be dangerous. I advise you not to take it away."

A flame ignited at the end of the words, burning the hair.

Cha Bai asked blankly: "Li Nuo, what do you mean?"

Li Nuo stared at him and said, "I bet fifty cents that the task panel should be updated."

【Mission Update】

Cha Bai took out five coins from his pocket, which were the currency of this world, and put them into Li Nuo's hand.

[The seven warriors each took a gear, and there was another one hidden in the demonic ruins that they did not find. There were eight gears in total. Time has passed, and most of them have now wandered among the people. If you find them, you may be able to defeat the person holding the gear... Then Then you can start the challenge mission of "The Ancestor Who Made the Gears"]

[By the way, a reminder, the last gear is also the first gear, and it is in the hands of Mayor Papagus]

Li Nuoxu stared.

"Eight gears...eight gyms...defeat the guy with eight gears...get eight gym badges...the first gear is in the hands of the mayor and Jimmy...the first and last badge In the first Viridian Gym..."

Cha Bai also felt something was wrong.

Maerjie, who ran over with a branch in his mouth, also felt something was wrong.

“Isn’t this Pokémon…”

Li Nuo nodded.

“Ah… don’t tell me that we have to fight the Four Heavenly Kings in the end… I guess there will really be Four Heavenly Kings and a champion.”

“Woof (throwing branches is really fun).”

Li Nuo helped Ma Ge throw the branch out, and Maerjie chased after him excitedly, wagging his tail.

Then Li Nuo ran to the ruins of the lighthouse and rummaged around.

There was still an [Ancient Crystal] in the reward that had not appeared. According to the principle of the Seven Steps of Snake Bite, he found a crystal stone that looked very ordinary from the ruins.

This crystal stone is the size of an adult male’s palm, with clear edges and corners, which is quite suitable for cutting the aorta when killing people. It exudes a turbid light blue luster. If he didn’t know about the [Ancient Crystal], Li Nuo would think that this thing should be used for gambling on stones.

[Ancient Crystal]

[Quality: Epic]

[Plot items cannot be taken out of the script]

[Brief description: It is like a camera, recording the images of the strong people who have appeared nearby for thousands of years. The abilities of those powerful people have randomly poured into it. If you crush it, it may happen: 1. Because it is too weak, it explodes and dies. 2. Because it is a bit powerful, some skills will evolve]

[Tip: This thing is only useful for recognized people, and sometimes it can affect many people, so it is best not to use it when fighting. If you strengthen the enemy, you will be brain-dead]

Li Nuo held the crystal and looked at the damn panel.

He decided to use [Pixel Slash] to mosaic himself, and then crush it.

Then...

[Task Update]

"Why is it here again? Why is this task always updated?" Cha Bai wanted to complain.

[Ancient Crystal will appear with ancient things]

[Every time you get a new gear, you can find Ancient Crystal near it]

"What the hell is going on!"

Li Nuo couldn't help it.

"Why not just say that after getting the badge, the gym leader has nothing to do and gives the trainer a 'skill machine'! After saying so much, you still have to challenge the gym! Give me the Poké Ball, bastard!"

Cha Bai missed this guy's long list of complaints, so he smiled happily.

"Never mind..."

Li Nuo activated [Pixel Slash] and crushed the crystal.

Then he and Cha Bai heard...

[Da, da, da da da~]

"TM evolved."

Li Nuo couldn't help but swear, and the next second he saw the evolved skill, he was happy.

[Igni Snap → Alchemist's Snap]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Effect: Snapping your fingers can cause the target in front of you to explode with blue flames, consuming 1% of the total magic power]

[Note: If this skill is used too hard, your fingers will be disabled (really)]

[Brief description: A man who becomes garbage when he encounters water]

Li Nuo looked at Malger who ran back with a branch in his mouth.

Bang!

After a snap of his fingers, Malger was blown up into the sky.

Li Nuo concluded: "It's average in power. It's useless if you encounter a guy with a shield."

Then the panel changed again.

[Skill Linkage]

[Cuihua's Big Explosion]

[Type: Active Fusion Skill]

[Effect: Summon "Cuihua" and use "Alchemist's Snap" on it. Cuihua will trigger the skill "Big Explosion". This move is too powerful after use. Cuihua cannot be summoned within 24 hours, and "Alchemist's Snap" cannot be used within 24 hours]

[Brief description: Cuihua, this child, must have sinned in her previous life to meet you]

For the sake of caution, Li Nuo did not plan to experiment with this move so soon.

"Forget it, let's just be cautious... Let's be cautious and retreat first."

Because he could no longer sense the breath of danger, and there might be strange dangers nearby, there was no need to stay any longer.

He looked at Cha Bai and found that she looked bad.

"You didn't upgrade any indecent skills again, did you?"

"Don't ask."

Cha Bai wanted to end the topic quickly, so he looked at Brother Ting who was far away.

"Sir, do you want to act together?"

"Oh, sure." Brother Ting was straightforward: "You guys are not the rumored team..."

"You figured it out?" Li Nuo was startled, then thought: It's normal to figure it out...

"Sauron Lee, is he your captain?"

Li Nuo: "Ah?"

Brother Ting: "I heard that there are several very powerful teams among the players under me, such as a guy with glasses who is looking for female players everywhere..."

Cha Bai: "Sir... why do you think we are not from another team?"

Brother Ting looked at Maljie who was staring at the tree branch with his head down, and said: "That is your summon, a very strange summon Ah, I heard that Soran is an explorer, with many strange things in his hands, and you too."

He pointed at Cha Bai and continued, "Since that guy is looking for female team members everywhere, it means that there are many beauties in his team. Am I right?"

Cha Bai: "Thank you."

Li Nuo hooked Ting Ge's shoulder and smiled kindly, "Do you want to meet Mr. Soran after you go back? He is so generous~!"

"Isn't it in this script?"

"Yes, yes~ You will see~"

"Is he easy to get along with?"

"Yes, yes~ I like to help others~"

"Are there many female team members?"

"Many, many~ One hundred and eight beautiful ladies~"

The voice gradually faded away, and they walked out of the dense forest.

Cha Bai was the last one to follow. Before she walked out of the lighthouse clearing, she bowed slightly to the ruins.

"May Lord Triss bless you with joy in your afterlife."

…

The moonlight penetrates quietly into the ruins of the lighthouse.

In the position where Cha Bai had just bowed, the looming super girl was sitting on a stone platform made of broken bricks.

Mysterious, she looked at the direction Cha Bai left with a smile on her face.

The misty ghost climbed out from the ground in the form of a spirit body, sat at her feet, grabbed a cigarette from the air, put it on his mouth, took a puff, and asked: "How many of them have been there in the past ten years?" Are they the first group of people to step out on their own from our joint effort?"

"It seems so." Mystery replied.

"Nonsense." The mist ghost sneered while holding a cigarette in his mouth: "You were sincere just now."

Misty forest.

Many newcomers are curious why the authorities don't care about such a dangerous place. The answer is that it is not dangerous at all. This is the safest place in the world, because the mystery will knock out people who enter by mistake and send them out.

People often get lost in the forest without knowing why, and over time it becomes a dangerous zone.

But no one has died here since seventy years ago.

"Yeah, release the water."

Mi thought of the way Li Nuo protected Cha Bai, as if he had seen the past scene of her "brave man in all battles" protecting her.

"Why?" Mist Ghost was curious.

"Who knows~" Mi was satisfied to see that scene, but didn't want to share it.

"Ah, forget it." The misty ghost stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at the collapsed lighthouse, and said, "Your lighthouse is broken."

"Well, it's a very troublesome thing." Mi smiled and said, "Just fix it and it'll be fine."

"It's a pity that I won't accompany you." Mist Ghost said.

"You want to leave?"

"Um."

Mist ghost.

The ghost that accidentally entered this place is a kind of magical beast, a phantom beast that has no body and can never die.

The mystery as a ghost gives it a place to live, and it returns to the mystery a quiet mist.

But the silence has come to an end.

"That silver-eyed brat took away the essence that shaped my body. I can't help you for the time being."

"In this case, the misty forest will be gone." Mi said, feeling a little regretful.

"It's quiet here anyway, it's time for you to get in touch with other ghosts."

"I'm waiting for him. It's nice to be alone."

"That's it."

The mist ghost looked at the falling moonlight and smiled.

"I haven't been out for seventy years. It just so happens that I'm going to take this opportunity to visit other parts of the world."

It looked at the blonde super girl.

"If I see your lover's ghost, I will capture him and send him back to you."

"Then, thank you~"

Mi smiled slightly and tilted his head, gradually disappearing.

When the mist ghost came back to its senses, it was the only one left here. It walked out, preparing to leave here.

In order to prevent anyone from disturbing its old friend, the ghost placed some magic traps around it.

Early the next morning.

The stupid thief duo woke up from their sleep and got out of the robot they made. After confirming again and again that the "feces rain" last night had disappeared, they went deep into the forest.

The woman gritted her teeth and strode toward the lighthouse: "We must catch that stupid dog..."

The man followed behind and said cautiously: "I said, the two owners of that dog may have run away, right?"

Woman: "Go in and take a look first, you idiot!"

A minute later, the two guys were blasted into the sky by the magic trap left by the mist ghost.

The two of them are still very energetic in the sky.

"I just said the dog wasn't here!"

"Gotta find the dog that can drive!"

The dog who could drive was embarking on their journey to challenge the gym with two men and one woman.
