Chapter 270 Triggering a New Mission, Li Feng's Memory

‘Self-enclosed, sensitive and suspicious, not suitable for participating in collective tasks. ’

Huang Yanyan remembered clearly that this was a psychologist at the institute’s headquarters, who gave a character analysis of No. 67 based on a series of his behaviors.

October 7, the thirteenth game cycle, the Endless Sea World.

In the busy and bustling dock area of ​​Fengxi City, Huang Yanyan’s eyes were empty, thinking about other things, and she walked along the seaside road to school in a state of low spirits.

On her left was the endless sea, and the afternoon sun flowed down, filling the sea with broken gold.

At the beginning of the last cycle, the institute found a portrait artist to paint a portrait of No. 67, but for some reason, Qi Heng, who had seen Lai Yin, that is, No. 67, suddenly had his memory of No. 67’s appearance erased.

The entire institute was shocked by this incident.

After doing various tests on Qi Heng and confirming that Qi Heng did not do it intentionally, needless to say, the institute also understood that the modification of Qi Heng’s memory must have been done by No. 67.

"High-level players can actually do this!"

"Being able to detect that someone is looking for him again and being able to modify the memory of the person looking for him, what's the difference between this and the ability of a god?"

"This ability is too powerful, but it's also too dangerous."

Huang Yanyan remembered that the senior executives of the institute argued for a long time during the video conference at that time.

They were very cautious about No. 67's ability, especially at that time, No. 67 made it clear that he didn't intend to cooperate.

Not wanting to cooperate and being able to not be found in the modern society with advanced technology, the institute had no way to deal with No. 67.

Seeing this result, some people at the senior meeting began to blame why they didn't write to No. 67 in advance to communicate, but went directly to the portrait artist, resulting in the current stalemate between No. 67 and the institute.

Huang Yanyan also had this feeling at the time, comparing the two replies she received before and after...

"Alas-"

Huang Yanyan sighed.

On the night of October 1st of the last cycle, when all players received the task of stopping x, No. 67 wrote to her and said, "It's okay, I have a way."

This sentence was said very gently, even with a sense of comfort.

Girls are thoughtful, and Huang Yanyan felt very warm at the time, not only because No. 67 had a way to deal with x, but also because their relationship became friendly.

Things were originally developing in a positive direction, but because of the portrait, Huang Yanyan wrote a letter privately and informed No. 67 in advance.

Soon, she received another reply, but the content of the reply, Huang Yanyan sensitively noticed that this letter was different from the previous one.

"I know, thank you."

Now, No. 67 has returned to his original coldness and written language.

I can't tell what I feel. Looking at these words, Huang Yanyan is very disappointed, and she also has a feeling of being caught between the research institute and No. 67.

'No. 67 should be angry. '

Huang Yanyan thought so. After all, if someone finds out that someone is secretly investigating you, no matter who it is, they will feel uncomfortable.

Time passes day by day.

After that, in the remaining days of the last cycle, Huang Yanyan thought about writing to No. 67 again to explain what happened that day.

But she heard from the psychological expert at the headquarters that at this time, it is best to give No. 67 more time and space to avoid further misunderstandings due to his sensitive and suspicious character.

So far, even though Huang Yanyan was in a complicated mood and had many frustrations, she had to put the matter of contacting and explaining to No. 67 on hold.

At the same time, during that period, many of the work of the institute was not going well.

They tried their best to contact the players of the new star, but the reality was that they failed again and again.

Until last night.

After many days of no contact, Huang Yanyan received a letter from No. 67 again.

At that time, Huang Yanyan was bored at home, thinking about various work troubles in her mind.

At this moment, the Fire Seal Orb suddenly emitted a burst of sparks, and a letter was spit out.

Looking at the letter that fell on the table, Huang Yanyan thought it was Qi Heng.

She mechanically took the letter, but when she saw the universal language of the Endless Sea on the envelope, Huang Yanyan sat up straight.

It was a letter from 67. He actually sent the letter first.

Her heartbeat slightly accelerated, and Huang Yanyan opened the letter with a faint expectation.

But unlike all her expectations, 67 did not mention the previous investigation at all. His letter was very short, with only one sentence:

"I sent you something, you may need it."

'I... need it? '

Huang Yanyan was confused when reading this line.

She didn't know what 67 sent, but she knew that after the portrait incident, the first letter sent by 67 did not mention the incident at all.

'Did he not take it to heart? '

Inexplicably, Huang Yanyan's mind appeared again, the scene of the senior management of the institute arguing about this matter.

At that time, those bigwigs quarreled over No. 67. Some wanted to hold him accountable, some shirked responsibility, and some worried about the consequences of the stalemate.

After this incident, the institute began to be cautious when dealing with issues related to No. 67, fearing that the situation would deteriorate further.

But now it seems that No. 67 just laughed off the things that made the senior executives uneasy and worried, and it was not worth his attention at all?

While Huang Yanyan was thinking about it, her maid knocked on the door.

The maid said that a newsboy carrying a box came to the door and insisted on seeing her, and he was unwilling to leave without seeing her.

The guards at home thought the newsboy was suspicious and were about to drive him away or send him to the police station, but the housekeeper thought that since the master was not at home, he should still inform the young lady.

‘The newsboy carrying the box…’

Huang Yanyan understood instantly.

Without saying anything, she immediately went to see the newsboy.

But as usual, she kept the earlier agreement. Huang Yanyan did not ask who asked him to deliver the box, nor did she ask about the appearance of the person who asked him to deliver the box.

She just gave the newsboy some money and took the box away.

It was an ordinary and heavy wooden box.

Back in the room, Huang Yanyan did not think too much, and directly tore open the seal to open the box. There were three things of different sizes in the box, which were tightly wrapped in newspapers.

After peeling off the newspapers layer by layer, after a while, when Huang Yanyan peeled off the newspapers and saw the three things in the box clearly, she was stunned.

x’s mourning bird, this gun of unknown principle, Huang Yanyan had seen it before.

The white shuttle-shaped Earth Core is an important item for upgrading to a Level 2 player. Huang Yanyan also saw it when she was showing off.

As for the latter, Huang Yanyan knew from the instructions on the wrapping paper that this string of round stones was the world ladder used for smuggling.

Looking at the three things in the box, Huang Yanyan subconsciously held her breath and couldn't catch her breath for a long time.

These three things are too important, whether for the Institute or for any player.

But No. 67 just sent them out casually, wrapped them in a few pieces of waste newspaper, put them in a wooden box, and asked a child to send them.

'This...'

Huang Yanyan's mood fluctuated, but it was hard to tell why. She was not shocked that No. 67 had these things and sent them out casually.

After all, No. 67 was powerful, and he had already done things that other players could not do.

Huang Yanyan felt that what really surprised her was No. 67's character.

It turned out that for a long time, he had actually been doing things according to his own wishes, and the various behaviors of the Institute had never affected him.

Girls are thoughtful, Huang Yanyan recalled the past.

From the beginning, the institute recruited him many times, and then he went directly to him, and then his private reminders, the institute's fear and worry...

It turned out that no matter what situation he was in or how he was treated, No. 67 never cared, and even never took it seriously.

For him, these things were like never worth his attention.

Huang Yanyan couldn't tell how she felt after putting the three things in the box into the system backpack one by one.

The institute thought that No. 67 was annoyed, and she thought No. 67 was angry. The psychologist thought No. 67 was self-enclosed, sensitive and suspicious, but in fact...

He didn't care at all, and he had been pushing things forward according to his own wishes.

Huang Yanyan suddenly felt that compared with No. 67, they were simply arrogant and worried children, and they were not on the same level at all.

The autumn sea breeze brought coolness. Walking on the busy dock, Huang Yanyan sighed again. It was useless to think too much. She returned to the present and looked at the busy people coming and going around her.

"Woo--"

Suddenly, a whistle sounded from a large ship on the sea.

Subconsciously looking in the direction of the sound, it turned out to be a steamship full of passengers going out to sea. On the deck, the travelers who were about to travel far away were waving to the people who were seeing them off on the shore.

Looking at this very real scene, Huang Yanyan felt emotional:

'If this is really just a game, then it should be a very interesting game.

The world here is so big, there must be many places worth exploring.

It's a pity...'

Standing on the shore where people were coming and going, watching the people who were seeing off their relatives and friends, Huang Yanyan, who was daydreaming, suddenly saw an acquaintance.

"What a coincidence, I was just thinking about going to your school to find you."

On the shore, Li Feng had just seen Chenxing away when he met Huang Yanyan.

"I was just about to find you. I heard you were leaving Storm Island?"

Seeing Li Feng, Huang Yanyan felt somewhat guilty. She had been busy with so many things recently that she had neglected Li Feng, who had also become a player.

'I am leaving Storm Island? When was it? '

Hearing Huang Yanyan say that she was leaving, Li Feng reviewed the previous situation and changed his identity.

'Yes, my current identity is that of the Earth Ring.

And because the king died, the Earth Ring personnel were transferred, and the extraordinary people of Hongshun and Baifeng Manor were all transferred to the Royal City.

In the morning, Hongshun and Benjamin invited me to get together, which was actually for a farewell party. '

"Uh."

Li Feng did not comment. He felt complicated for not telling the truth to Huang Yanyan.

"If you can switch to a civilian position, switch to a civilian position. Stay away from danger. Although we cannot quit the game, we must live well."

Let the maid follow behind, and Huang Yanyan and Li Feng walked slowly along the road by the sea to her school.

"Yeah, staying alive is the most important thing."

Li Feng agreed with this, but sometimes, even if you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you.

Recalling the mysterious people mentioned by the players in the chat channel just now, because they are related to the Discovery, Li Feng thought about it and decided to ask Huang Yanyan.

"Oh, those people--"

Because he trusted Li Feng, and because he worked for the Ring of Earth, it was always better to know more, Huang Yanyan did not hide it:

"You still remember Nova, those mysterious people were players who smuggled from Nova, and they robbed the Glory Vault of Sun City.

As for what was stolen, the Governor's Mansion of Glory Island deliberately concealed it, so our people didn't know either. "

"New star? That's the one..."

Hearing this name, Li Feng remembered the information about that world, but at the same time, a prompt appeared in his system:

[Trigger new task: Investigate the lost items in the Glory Vault]

[Task description: Players who smuggled in from Xinxing designed to rob the Glory Treasury in Sun City on Glory Island and took away an item in the vault to find a way to investigate the truth of the matter. 】

[Task reward: ‘your’ memory. 】

Lines of text flashed before my eyes, and finally appeared on the system's task interface.

Li Feng was speechless for a moment, feeling like he was being led away by the system again.

"Yes, it's that world where technology is very advanced, but it will perish in two months."

Huang Yanyan thought Li Feng didn't remember, so she reminded him.

"oh--"

Li Feng nodded, turned off the system interface, and thought of a possibility:

"Could it be that what the new star players stole was something that could save their world?"

"It makes sense. After all, for the people of Nova, nothing is more important than saving the world."

Huang Yanyan nodded in agreement when she heard this, but because of the previous matters related to the institute and No. 67, her mood was really low, and she sighed unconsciously. Huang Yanyan changed the topic:

"Didn't you always ask me to resign before? If possible, I really want to resign now."

"Did...what happened?"

Hearing that Huang Yanyan wanted to resign, Li Feng almost felt like the sun was coming out of the west.

"Well--"

Just now I just unconsciously expressed my thoughts. When asked about the specific reason, Huang Yanyan had so many threads that she didn't know where to start. After thinking about it, she just said:

"You see how real this world is. It would be a good thing if you really have the opportunity to go and see it."

"That's true."

Li Feng agrees with this:

"In some ways, the Endless Sea is much more exciting than our world. There are many magical plants and animals, as well as various islands with different cultures."

"There is also a giant dragon. I saw a giant dragon that day."

Huang Yanyan added.

"Yes, there are dragons, mermaids, and..."

It was a pleasure to chat with Huang Yanyan and Li Feng.

But suddenly talking about dragons and mermaids, Li Feng subconsciously thought of Shia and Xue Yu.

But at the same time, the strange knowledge he had just been taught by Chenxing appeared in his head again, and Li Feng felt that he was not well.

"Yes? What? You don't mean to say cat demon, do you?"

Chatting with Li Feng, Huang Yanyan temporarily forgot about those troubles, but when Li Feng stopped mid-sentence, she thought he had thought of something that was difficult for him to talk about.

"Huh?"

Li Feng was at a loss. Although what he thought of was indeed unspeakable, he swore that he didn't think of the cat demon.

"Ha~"

After all, Huang Yanyan knew that Li Feng liked to pet fluffy cats when they were young.

But now, Huang Yanyan folded her arms, as if she had seen through an old friend, and she looked like I knew it:

"Cats in this world can really become sperms. Maybe if you raise a cat, one day she will become a sperm and become a cat lady, with the ears and tail moving."

Li Feng: ...I have trouble with the cat demon, right?

While complaining in his heart, Old Si Ji Chenxing’s words popped up subconsciously:

"Yes, it will have a furry and smooth and delicate touch at the same time."

"Eh?! You!"

Hearing this, Huang Yanyan was startled, and her voice unconsciously raised a few degrees. She took a step closer to Li Feng with an inexplicable attitude of reluctance:

"What on earth did you do?"

"Uh-no, I..."

It was an unconscious complaint just now, but Li Feng didn't expect that when he felt relaxed, he would say it smoothly.

This time he was wronged. He obviously only found out about the cat demon race today:

"This, and everything else... it's all from the book."

"In books? You really read all kinds of books~"

Huang Yanyan squinted her eyes and glanced at Li Feng, then looked angry and sad about the social atmosphere:

"Really, there is no anti-pornography in this world."

"ha?"

Li Feng, who was complaining about Chenxing, was amused when he heard about Huang Yanyan's career in the police station.

However, just when he wanted to say something, he suddenly found that there were fewer people on the road ahead.

Looking up subconsciously, Li Feng saw several rows of Storm's End knights standing in front of Huang Yanyan's school.

Standing in front of the knight was Shia in a luxurious dress. At this moment, she was looking at him with a smile from a distance.
