Chapter 539: Top of the Mountain, World Manager

[Pixel Slash] cannot be turned off at will. Once turned on, it will become a paper man.

It was already evening when Li Nuo woke up.

Dilapidated wooden house.

Fragrant and fresh.

Weapons boxes were placed by the wall, and walking sticks and firearms were on the table.

Cha Bai sat next to him, watching him wake up and take a deep breath.

"Very good……"

She knew he was fine, but she was afraid that something would happen. This was an instinctive worry that could not be eliminated rationally.

Li Nuo rubbed his eyebrows and recalled the time when he encountered the hidden BOSS.

"At that time, someone showed up and said he was a [critical person]... then why did I faint?"

"No."

Chabai said bluntly.

"We were blinded by that monster, but after the man appeared, there was a force in the distance, shaking us. When we came back to our senses, you had become a paper man."

"Did that [Critical One] do it?"

The door was pushed open.

The long-haired man stood outside with bread in his mouth and scratching the door frame.

He was wearing a pure white robe, with thin cheeks and a slovenly look, but he was very clean. He carried a bronze sword on his back, put his hands in his wide cuffs, and looked at them sideways.

"I didn't do it. Anyway, don't take it seriously and don't ask any questions."

He glanced at Cha Bai.

"I've told her the situation. Let me tell you again."

Li Nuo uses [Emile's area].

【Exceeds level limit】

"Stop looking." The man said, "Wang Li, we are all in the same corridor. You can't tell that my level is over ninety-nine. Don't ask, because if I tell you too many players' things, I will be punished. "

Li Nuo got out of bed, Cha Bai subconsciously helped him.

"You two companions are behind the tavern, follow me."

"Can we talk?"

"able."

…

They have entered the small town of Tanggula.

The town is small and well-equipped. There is a ropeway in the back mountain. Tourists usually come by car from the ropeway. Because there was an accident on the road down the mountain and the ropeway was repaired, there have been no tourists in the town for at least a year.

The people who came were just a group of pure perverts, all coming for the Succubus Mansion.

Walking through the small town of Tanggula, although it was quaint and fragrant, as if they were back in the Middle Ages, both Li Nuo and Cha Bai could sense that everyone they passed by was ridiculously strong.

In other words, this town is full of indigenous people of Papagus's level.

But the strongest one was Wang Li who was walking in front of them.

It is often said that "Endless Corridor" has a group of weirdos, lone wolf players, people like Xiao Wu and Ting Ge.

If Li Nuo had not met Marjie, he would have become this kind of person.

Phil had told Li Nuo at the beginning that those guys hidden deep in the corridor were hiding alone, lone wolves, relying only on themselves. Such people always have special advantages over others.

Luck, brain power, strength, mind.

Wang Li, if you insist on saying...

"The one below should be the most powerful one in the 'Endless Corridor'."

Li Nuo followed and stopped on the stone path.

"Can I ask you to be my big brother?"

"cannot."

"Master Tao, are you a cultivator?"

"I keep in good health."

"What a coincidence, I have a terminal illness and am very good at keeping in good health."

"Get out of here, uncle."

Wang Li has a pair of dead fish eyes exactly like Li Nuo.

Cha Bai observed from the sidelines and came to the conclusion that people with dead fish eyes would have a bad mouth.

"I had my own job in the town, in other words, a script assignment."

Wang Li put aside Li Nuo's words about worshiping him as his eldest brother and said everything he could.

"Border Prison Script" does not limit the player's strength, and there are players from lv80 to over lv99.

His job is to protect the town of Tanggula.

There was nothing else. He wouldn't tell me again if I asked him, he just said why he helped Li Nuo and the others to rescue them.

"The name of the monster you encountered is the 'Knight of Iron Cutting'. He is a martial arts idiot and has lived for thousands of years. For some reasons, I sealed it outside the town. If I hadn't appeared just now..."

He stopped in front of a quaint tavern and looked back at Li Nuo with squinted eyes.

"You just planned to destroy the entire town to attract that monster."

Li Nuo smiled.

"Master Dao has good eyesight~"

Cha Bai took a deep breath, as expected...

She felt strange at the time.

Why Li Nuo asked her and Marjie to enter the town quickly was actually premeditated.

"I plan to let our teammates enter the town, and I will teleport back to the Tanggula entrance. In this way, two situations will occur."

Li Nuo made a comparison.

"One, that monster is chasing me. Assuming that I am in the entrance area, I can use the power of the 'state' to defeat it."

"Two, if the monster chases my companion, it will be finished, because I know there are powerful guys in the town."

Tanggula Mountain is so dangerous, but the town is still peaceful. There must be something powerful guarding it, such as Wang Li.

"I know you, [Remnant Blood Man], Lilian and I talked about it, and you are full of calculations."

"Master Dao probably didn't guess my plan, but saw the future in advance, because you said you are a [critical person]."

"You want to tell your fortune?"

"Think so."

"Get out of here after all, you are too dangerous."

Wang Li turned around and pushed the door open.

"My main mission is to protect the town of Tanggula Mountain from being disturbed within a year. You'd better leave quickly."

There were almost no customers in the tavern. The charming proprietress lay lazily on the counter, raised her charming eyes and glanced at the people coming.

"Find a seat yourself, there are no customers anyway."

She said and lay down again.

Li Nuo glanced at the data, the proprietress was not strong.

Wang Li found a chair, sat down and pointed his thumb at the back door, saying: "Your two companions are behind the door."

Li Nuo and Cha Bai went straight over, and after opening the door, a red face was reflected on their faces.

Succubus Mansion.

Just behind the door.

The succubi in revealing clothes all looked at them, each of them had a beautiful figure and a pretty face that could be called stunning.

And...their fighting power was also very strong.

The huge room was divided into several small partitions, and each single room had a water bed.

Brother Ting was lying on one of the water beds, in a deep coma.

Wang Li's voice came from outside the house: "That guy's head was cut off, but he has the ability to revive, but that demon beast... its attack carries a curse, I advise you to let him stay here, the succubi can cure him."

Li Nuo squinted his eyes, Tingge's luck...

Cha Bai took a deep breath: "Look again."

"I really didn't see it."

Maerjie jumped out of the inner room with a red body and rushed into Li Nuo's arms.

"Woof (I can't betray Shayu)!"

Li Nuo raised his hand to grab Ma Ge's tail and threw it back to the succubi who chased him out.

The succubi thought it was really just a dog, so they were playing with it.

Li Nuo knew that Maerjie had a hard life, so he helped him and laughed so badly.

Accompanied by Maerjie's roar, Li Nuo closed the door and sat back opposite Wang Li with Cha Bai.

At this time, the proprietress came over with three cups of wooden barrel beer and smashed the glasses on the table listlessly.

"Just consider it as a gift."

The proprietress is not a succubus, she just opened a tavern outside the succubus mansion.

Wang Li took a sip of beer. A Taoist priest in a Taoist robe was drinking beer from a wooden barrel in a place with a European medieval style, which made Li Nuo feel like he was watching "The Elder Scrolls" with a "Taoist" MOD installed.

"Give it to me."

Wang Li put down the wine glass and spread out his palm.

If he was a [Critical Person], he would be able to predict the purpose of Li Nuo's visit.

The person who can turn decayed weapons into artifacts that Miss Liuli said is Wang Li.

Cha Bai took out the [Legendary Staff] from the [Dark Magic Encyclopedia] and gave it to him.

"I see... I want to unblock it."

Wang Li took out a bag of [Repair Light Powder] from his sleeve and sprinkled it on the staff.

"Wait..." Li Nuo was startled: "This... is not that..."

"【Repair Light Powder】, it's a prop that comes with the corridor." Wang Li held the glowing staff in his hand and laughed: "Do you think you have forgotten the function of old items after becoming stronger, or you don't like them anymore?"

Li Nuo said "hmm": "It's my problem."

He gradually forgot one thing, that the props that come with the corridor sometimes have miraculous effects, such as skipping the "rules" and directly giving a recovery effect.

Wang Li handed the staff back to Cha Bai.

[Legendary Staff]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect 1: Need to absorb an elemental force, preferably a guide machine, and then it can be fused with a "staff" weapon]

[Effect 2: If you choose not to fuse, inject all the magic power, you can randomly launch a "top" black magic, the CD time is long, it depends on what magic is launched]

[Brief description: The weapon of the first great wizard under the evil demon, it is best to find a book of that great wizard, and then you can get the guide blueprint for integrating "staff" weapons]

The staff can be upgraded, but you need to go to the evil demon ruins.

Even if you don't upgrade the staff, just a random "top" black magic is strong enough.

"The second thing, I can tell you a fortune, tell me what you want to know, I can only answer one question."

Wang Li took a sip of beer.

His [Critical] level is higher than Kroyd, but he doesn't like to use it because he thinks "predicting the future" is a pit.

Cha Bai hesitated. Li Nuo may not want to know too much about the future. He cares more about tomorrow, but she cares more about the future.

But Li Nuo said what she wanted to ask before she did.

"If we don't want to be the future of players."

Wang Li closed his eyes.

Voice version of predicting the future: predict a person's future, no time limit... but if the predicted future exceeds a certain time, the ability will enter long-term dormancy.

...

[The person who is led by fate, hold his own destiny tightly]

[Sky Arena, one of the winners]

[The one who changed the "endless" life ring]

[The only person with residual blood within the time]

...

The prophecy that Wang Li can hear will be very far away, as if calling the other side into his hands, and the scenes before the end pass by his ears.

...

[Ikaros]

...

He opened his eyes.

"Ikaros... is it there?"

"Yeah."

"Then congratulations."

Cha Bai's palms were pressed tightly against her knees, her shoulders were shaking, and she was happy.

Li Nuo's pupils had a strange feeling flashing in an instant.

"Do me another favor."

"Three times is better than the other."

"Help me, and we'll get out of here."

"Go ahead."

Li Nuo took a deep breath.

"Cha Bai, go see Lao Ma."

"Me? What are you going to do?"

"Go ahead."

Li Nuo was so calm that Cha Bai was a little worried.

Wang Li comforted him, "I can't eat him, what are you worried about?"

It was at this moment that Cha Bai didn't know why, but he saw a feeling that had not appeared in Li Nuo's eyes for a long time.

It has been more than half a year, and Li Nuo is not as serious as he is now.

She stood up and walked towards the door of the back room. Memories flashed back in her mind. Mirror Master, Croyd, Chuangjie Mountain. Yes, Li Nuo never lived like this after that. He seemed to want to carry it alone again. something.

"It's okay, don't worry."

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"Um."

Cha Bai opened the door and walked into the mansion. The proprietress who was lying on the counter watched her disappear and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Wang Li pointed to Li Nuo's wine glass.

"Drink it or waste it."

Li Nuo raised his chin, drank all the wine in the glass, and raised his hand to wipe the foam from the corner of his mouth.

"Master Tao, I want to see the top ability of the 'Endless Corridor'."

Wang Li stood up and said, "Change a place."

He clapped his hands, and Li Nuo appeared with him on the outskirts of the town.

"Let me make it clear first."

Wang Li stood with his hands behind his hands and stared at Li Nuo.

"I have been a player for more than sixty years. I am a stupid person. Even now, I am not the most powerful in the corridor. If you want to see those who are truly strong, look for Lilian from 'Wrath of Bahamut'. There is also the "Anti-Science Alliance" in this script. If you want to make yourself more miserable, go to the "Corridor of the End" and become an intruder. If you want to die faster, provoke the "Corridor of the Sky" conference. Long is the best choice.”

"No, you can slap me to death. Why should I be in a hurry to die?" Li Nuo said.

"Just kidding, no way."

Wang Li dispensed with the politeness and looked at Li Nuo. He had a silver cane, a silver pistol, and a black priest's coat. His clothes were shabby and belonged to the demon-hunting eyes of the world of great swords.

Then he said: "There is a small airship behind the town. You can take that one later. Behind Tanggula Mountain is the country of China. The airship will automatically navigate there."

"Well, okay."

"You want to see the abilities of top players, then let me ask you first." Wang Li paused: "There are always rumors among players that the strongest one is the player who stands behind the scenes, not a flamboyant person like Lilian. , do you believe it?”

"I thought about it before, but when I met you, I thought it was a lie." Li Nuo said bluntly: "You are not as good as Lilian. The real strong man hides among the lone wolves. In the final analysis, it is the imagination of the weak."

"This is the same as making a move."

"ah?"

Amid Li Nuo's doubts, Wang Li pulled out the bronze sword from his back and stood with the tip of the sword facing down.

"How do you use your cane?"

"prick."

"Stab what?"

"demon."

"Me too."

Wang Li's tone rose.

"I wield a sword to slay demons, and you wield a staff to hunt demons and gods. In the final analysis, it's just a simple word of killing. But in the eyes of others, people like us can always be regarded as jugglers, a group of frogs in a well who don't know the top level. It’s all simple.”

Although Li Nuo felt that the other party might have some "Chinese-style chuunibyou", Wang Li was right.

"Stab and chop, shoulders and eyes." Wang Li looked at the waterfall on the side, his eyes serious: "Killing demons in the simplest way is the best."

Li Nuo suddenly felt that there might be something wrong with this guy, for example, he likes to ramble by dragging out text... Think about it, who doesn't have a big problem with "Endless Corridor"?

At this time, a giant shadow was printed in the waterfall.

The monster in the water has a body like a snake, a head like a dragon, but it has hundreds of legs.

Tanggula Mountain is full of terrifying monsters. [Emil's Mask] reminded him that the danger level of the monsters behind the waterfall is A+~S-.

Li Nuo calculated that if he took action, he would need to perform a monkey trick to deal with it safely.

Wang Li dropped a [Luring Enemy Skull] from his sleeves and landed at his feet. He attracted the monsters to attack.

The monster jumped out of the waterfall, and the shadows of the roaring water submerged the two of them.

In front of the huge waves, Li Nuo stood still and heard a voice:

"Witcher, open your eyes and see my sword clearly."

Several waves of water trembled, shattered into silver-white water droplets all over the sky, and rushed towards the monster in reverse.

A sword light shot into the sky.

The attacking monster was instantly torn apart, and hot, smoking blood was thrown up several meters.

Li Nuo's pupils turned toward Wang Li.

Master Dao stood up with his sword raised.

After the water splash fell, a white robe rolled up in the wind, and a starlight faintly appeared in the two deep black eyes under the robe.

The man in the white robe has skin and bones, his black hair has turned white, and his long beard is flowing.

The moment Wang Li drew his sword, he turned into a fairy-like old man. He raised his head and said as water stains spread all over the sky:

"I first entered the Corridor sixty years ago. I relied on the ability of [Critical One] for ten years to become arrogant. I was beaten like a dog by players outside fifty years ago. After that, I practiced with great concentration, but in a certain world Big mistake, damn Cairo star, bad My foundation was the potatoes I had been digging for twenty-two years. When it came out, time was chaotic, things and people changed. Many years later, I challenged a new strong man again, and was pinned to the ground by that woman, who was known as a strong lone wolf. , is actually a loser.”

He looked at Li Nuo.

"Witcher, you have seen what I am capable of, so what?"

Li Nuo could see clearly that he could block Wang Li's blow just now, but it was hard to say what happened next.

"How much force did Master Dao use?"

"Oh, fifty percent."

"Master Dao is amazing."

"No need to flatter."

"So how long will it take for me to pass you?"

"Not far."

"Then if I surpass you, I can prevent the ending of dying before Icarus?"

Wang Li: "What if...hey? What?"

He was so disturbed by Li Nuo's words that he no longer even thought about showing off, and his whole person changed from a white-haired old man back to the virtue of a sloppy Taoist priest.

"Master Dao, your eyes are wrong when you tell fortunes."

Li Nuo pointed to his eyes.

"Didn't you ask me to open my eyes and look at your sword? I've been staring at you from the beginning." Li Nuo shrugged: "Okay, Master Dao, can we talk normally?"

"cannot."

Wang Li's belief is to imitate the tone of masters, especially for juniors.

Li Nuo is playing with him.

"What's holding me back?"

"I don't know." Wang Li said: "You should know the weakness of [Critical One]. Being able to see your future has already exhausted my energy. If I can't see it, it means that thing may be your own destiny." ring, it affects the entire cloister.”

"Master Dao, can we exchange IDs?"

"No, aren't you panicking?" Wang Li was surprised at Li Nuo's calmness.

"Fear me." Li Nuo took off his hat and shook the water, and said: "We'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. I've seen your ability and have a rough estimate of your future. That's enough. There's nothing that money can't solve. …”

He put on his hat: "If money can't solve it, I have the strength and brains, that's enough."

Wang Li looked at Li Nuo, as if he had seen the black-haired man with ponytail standing at the top of the five corridors whom he had only met once.

The mind is so similar.

"I originally wanted to pretend to be like this junior, but I made a mistake. It's because I don't practice enough."

Wang Li turned around with a smile.

"I won't give you my ID, and we will never see each other again. I will die soon. No one can stop me, and I don't want others to stop me."

"Shall I help you?"

"Li Nuo, every player has a different destiny. I entered the world of martial arts from the beginning, and then I have been wandering in the world of immortals and demons. And you are a medieval demon hunter. Our paths will not cross each other, and so will you. Don't worry about me, just do whatever you want."

Li Nuo felt it was a pity. Wang Li's bronze sword was the Xuanyuan Sword, and it was worth his money to get it.

"Then, Master Dao, let me tell my fortune again."

"Insatiable." Wang Li said harshly. In fact, he could no longer use the ability of [Critical One].

He let go of the bronze sword, stood on the sword, and flew into the air, leaving only a sound in the sky:

"Let me tell you one last thing. The curse between you and that white-haired girl is called the 'Seven Year Itch'. If you leave it alone, you will definitely get divorced."

Li Nuo: "Huh?"

"I wish you happiness! Hahahahaha!"

Wang Li's voice gradually became quieter outside the sky.

Li Nuo stood there with a look of astonishment on his face.

This Taoist is a bit abstract.

A red envelope fell from the sky. Li Nuo raised his hand to catch it. There were two RMB and a note inside.

The paper said: "First of all, don't look for me again, otherwise my ability as a senior to leave happily will be gone. Secondly, you will get married soon, happy wedding."

The back of the note said: "If you really get married, this note will become my congratulatory gift."

Li Nuo glared: "What kind of things does the 'Endless Corridor' raise?"

…

After returning to town, the tavern was closed.

Wang Li didn't want to see them again, probably because he felt that if they saw each other again, the coolness they had just now would be gone.

Li Nuo didn't waste any time. They found the small airship that Wang Li mentioned. The dilapidated airship could only accommodate four people, but Brother Ting would temporarily stay with Succubus for training.

Li Nuo and Marjie really envied Brother Ting's luck.

"Don't you want to stay and see again?"

Chabai was sitting in the driver's seat, she wanted to fly the airship.

"No."

Li Nuo looked at the tavern with white mist floating in the chimney in the distance.

"This place is evil."

"About that prophecy..." Cha Bai paused, stepped on the accelerator, and let the airship leave the town. Facing the wind, she asked loudly: "Will we die before Icarus?"

"At least Icarus has been calculated, which means that one day, the goal will be achieved!"

Li Nuo covered his hat and smiled at the wind and clear sky.

"Before this, there are ways to change the future!"

Cha Bai had nothing to worry about this time, because Li Nuo had no intention of taking matters into his own hands. She smiled and nodded.

"[Summoning Magic Crystal] has recorded the S+ level monster."

She discovered that the small airship was driving automatically, so she let go of the handle, turned around and asked:

"Do you want to take away the [Experience Guidance Machine] now?"

"Take it."

Why did Li Nuo stay in Tanggula?

Spawn monsters?

Ha, one of the reasons.

More importantly, they have to wait for the cooldown of the [Fetching Leather Bag] to expire.

Cha Bai took out the [Object Retrieval Bag] on the airship and took out a human-sized sphere [Experience Guidance Machine] from it.

Li Nuo quickly stuffed this thing into his mask to prevent the airship from crashing into the cliff.

Marjie lay on Li Nuo's shoulder and said: "Wow (there is a problem in that tavern, but I can't tell where it is. Hmm, maybe it's because I'm so charming that the taverns are shy of me and don't dare to be in my house). Showing flowers and bones in front of you)."

The moment the three people left the Tanggula area, the panel finally reappeared.

…

【Hidden World Line】

[Tanggula, world manager]

[This hidden line has no tasks]

【Please leave quickly】

…

Wang Li sat at the bar counter and put the empty wine glass on the table.

"Let's go, don't sleep."

The tavern owner's wife, who had her face on the table, raised her head and yawned lazily.

"Life comes and goes, and there are old friends everywhere, but things have changed a long time ago. Mr. Wang, are you right?"

"Those guys..." Wang Li hesitated.

"Is that [rescuer] you mentioned useful?"

"You can't save me." Wang Li said, "The level is too low."

The landlady smiled and said, "If he has a higher rank, wouldn't he become the next manager of your corridor?"

Wang Li's eyes widened in surprise as if he had heard terrible news: "What did you say?"

The landlady stood up, gave him a glass of wine, and put it on the counter.

"Because I was a player before, more than a thousand years ago."
