Chapter 301 Pioneer Mission, Strange Baixu
Facing Lu Li who was walking towards him with a knife, the white humanoid Yachukas was just silent. There was no fear of death in his eyes, no desire for life, and no desire to fight.
Lu Li, who had just raised his hand, suddenly took back the prisoner, "Forget it, it's boring."
He turned and left. Even if the opponent might be very strong, he had no interest in an opponent who had no intention of fighting and whose eyes were full of nothingness.
After walking away for a distance, Lu Li continued to check his tasks. In addition to the Bankai main line and time branch line he received initially, he also received two pioneer tasks, an upgrade task, and a branch task that was just triggered and he had not had time to check.
[Advanced Task: Reverse Battle]
Task content: Kill 10 fourth-level creatures with comprehensive attribute values above 71 points.
Task difficulty: Easy
Task reward: Pioneer mark upgraded to fourth level
Failure penalty: Obliterate
Well, it's too simple.
This was Lu Li's first time to do an upgrade task. After all, the first time, the attribute broke the limit and was exempted. The second time was because of the world battle, and the upgrade task was included in the war, and the opponent surrendered without a fight.
Before entering the world this time, he thought how difficult the upgrade task would be for him, but it turned out to be just killing 10 fourth-level creatures...
Oh, for a general third-level explorer who is about to break through, it may be a bit difficult.
After reading the advanced tasks, Lu Li scanned down again.
[Pioneer Task: Fairy Seed]
Task content: During the stay in this world, kill the spirit seed holder in the Heavenly Dao Space and seize the fairy seed.
Task difficulty: difficult ~ must die
Task reward: Fairy seed, diamond-level pioneer medal * 1
Failure penalty: all attributes -3 points
This task made Lu Li convinced that the soul singer in the Heavenly Dao Space had entered the world of the God of Death, but unlike the last spirit seed task, there was a failure penalty in the End Space this time, and the soul singer on the opposite side must be in a similar situation.
This means that even if they don't want to conflict, the two spaces will force them to fight.
But it doesn't matter to the two of them, anyway, they won't give up their spirit seeds.
In addition to this pioneer mission, Lu Li also received a hunting mission exclusive to pioneers.
[Pioneer Mission: Hunting]
Mission content: Kill violators No. 697123 and No. 2136129 in the Chaos Space during the stay in this world.
Mission difficulty: General ~ Difficult
Mission reward: Platinum Pioneer Medal * 1 ~ 2
Failure penalty: None ~ All attributes -2
There is also a special note in this mission, which states that there are other people chasing these two violators, so the failure penalty is fluctuating. If the two violators are confirmed to be dead, even if he has not killed the violators, the failure penalty is none. This is to prevent being punished after being "robbed of heads".
On the contrary, if both violators are still alive at the end of the mission world, he will receive the highest penalty, which is -2 points of all attributes.
From the content of this mission, Lu Li guessed that there should be other pioneers or judges in this world. If it is a little more coincidental, it is very likely that the other person in charge of hunting is the soul singer...
Although the two of them have not met yet, they have already had a cooperative and hostile relationship, which is very strange.
Because the map of the world of the god of death is relatively large and involves partitions, the end space has given it a radar function this time. As long as he is in the same large map with the violator, he will receive a prompt.
And when their distance is within 500 kilometers, he can get the other party's exact location and lock and kill.
After confirming the task he received at the beginning, Lu Li was thinking about whether he should find a way to return to the soul society first, or explore in the virtual world.
It is not difficult to return to the soul society, but the trouble is that he has to think about how to explain that he has been missing for 70 years. At that time, he will inevitably be interrogated. After all, the Central 46th Room is very sensitive to the god of death who returns after disappearing.
As for exploring Hueco Mundo, Lu Li had no idea for the time being. He just saw that there was a target in Hueco Mundo marked on the map in the Pioneer Hunting Mission, and thought about dealing with the violator before leaving Hueco Mundo.
He didn't have much experience in hunting violators, only in the Kengan World. To be honest, he didn't know what strange abilities the violators would have, but in order to prevent the violators from causing unexpected situations, it would be better to deal with them first.
In addition to these two pioneer missions, Lu Li also triggered a repeatable side mission after killing the two Achucas-level Hollows.
[Side Mission: Hollow Hunter]
Mission content: When the Pioneer has the identity of a Death God, this side mission can be triggered. When killing a Hollow or Arrancar at the Achucas level or above, different rewards can be obtained according to the target's strength.
Mission difficulty: Simple ~ Must die
Mission reward: 10,000 End Coins ~ Heritage Crystal*?
Failure penalty: None
This side quest is very flexible. When Lu Li killed the first Void, even if the side quest was triggered, the second Void died and the side quest was settled for him.
When the second Achucas was judged dead, the side quest was settled once, giving him a heritage crystal. This was a very surprising gain.
Although the minimum reward of this side mission seems very lame and does not match the reward that Achucas's strength deserves, this mission is repeatable and he is currently strong enough. Hueco Mundo's Achucas level virtual number In fact, it is not much. If a large-scale hunting is carried out, the profits will be very considerable.
While Lu Li was walking in thought, he noticed someone slowly approaching behind him. He turned his head in confusion and looked at the white humanoid Achiukas, "Why are you following me?"
He felt no hostility or other emotions from the other party. The other party just followed him, which made him feel very strange.
Thinking of the side mission he had just obtained, Lu Li was wondering whether he should just kill this guy in exchange for inheritance crystals. He might have several of them.
"I want to know why you didn't kill me."
As soon as the humanoid Achiukas opened his mouth, Lu Li felt that this creature was seriously ill.
Lu Lixin said, I haven't even killed you yet, but you still follow me, don't you feel good if I don't kill you?
"The god of death I have seen will not let go. I want to know the reason why you don't kill me."
Seeing Lu Li frowning and not saying anything, the white humanoid added another word. This time, his eyes were a little brighter, filled with an emotion called curiosity.
"No reason, I just find it boring."
Lu Li was speechless. Although he wanted to do the side quest to get Final Coins and Heritage Crystals, he really wasn't very interested in fighting against this kind of opponent.
"Not interesting?"
Bai Xu seemed a little confused. He raised his hand and touched the hole in his chest, "What does it mean to be boring?"
Lu Li suddenly felt that the pure white humanoid's speech and behavior patterns were a bit familiar. He thought for a while and said, "It's just boring. Killing you won't make me feel happy. Do you understand?"
Bai Xu seemed to be even more confused. He shook his head, "Pleasure...what kind of emotion is this?"
"Don't just ask me, I want to ask you, why didn't you eat those two Hollows? You should be far stronger than them, right?"
Lu Li asked back. Through observing several Xus fighting before, he had already discovered that the humanoid White Xu was the strongest, but he seemed to be very unmotivated and was swimming in the battle with an indifferent expression.
"If you eat them, will you understand the emotions you are talking about?"
Bai Xu stroked the hole in his chest, "I don't know, I'm just confused about the seemingly eternal devouring each other, and I don't know the meaning of it."
Lu Li looked at the humanoid Bai Xu in front of him with some confusion, wondering if this could be one of the Ten Blades in the future, the ultra-fashionable Ulquiorra?
But Lu Li felt that the tone of the other person's speech was completely different from the Ulquiorra he saw in the anime. He didn't look like a cold boss at all, but rather a bit dull.
Is it because the timeline is still early, and the current Ulquiorra has just left the tribe and lacks experience in the world, so it does not fit his inherent impression?
And now you are discussing philosophy with yourself as soon as you open your mouth? Please, he is just a martial artist, how can he understand such a profound issue?
"You are just tired of hunting and devouring. This means you feel that doing so is boring and boring."
Lu Li thought for a while and said, then turned and walked towards the center of Hueco Mundo. He didn't want to discuss philosophy with Xiao Wu at the moment, he wanted to try first to see if the radar area could cover the place where the violator was.
"Boring... So this is boring..."
Bai Xu touched the hollow in his chest, with ripples in his eyes, "Then I won't continue to hunt and devour."
Lu Li turned to look at Bai Xu's appearance. Judging from the fact that he had evolved into a human form, he was probably not far away from the Vastod-level Great Xu. If he waited for his facial features to be born naturally, he would probably become a Vastod. The level is great, and the strength has changed qualitatively.
But such a powerful Achiukas, who was rarely seen in Hueco Mundo, now looked unmotivated, because he was about to give up on the path of evolution with just two casual words.
If other unqualified Daxu were to know this, they would definitely be very angry. After all, whether they can evolve into a Vastod-level Daxu was decided a long time ago, even when they were still humans. It’s settled.
Looking at the entire Bleach comic, there are only a few Vastod-level Hollows appearing. If the Hollow in front of him is really Ulquiorra in the future, Lu Li feels that it is really bad that the latter failed to evolve into Vastod. Not unjust.
He thought about it carefully, and in Ulquiorra's memories in the book, it was indeed what he saw in front of him.
According to Ulquiorra's memories in the comics, he was born deep in a cave in Hueco Mundo. Because his appearance and habits are different from his own kind (all of his kind are pitch black, with glowing eyes and mouths similar to black bats) and was ostracized.
After that, Ulquiorra left the cave alone and wandered around Hueco Mundo. During his wandering, he saw a strange white bush and decided to bury himself in nothingness. When he walked into the object, the mask that originally covered his face It also broke automatically and turned into something similar to the Arrancar later.
The white human form in front of Lu Li at this time should be what it looked like before Ulquiorra broke through on his own. In other words, Ulquiorra at this time still has the potential to continue to evolve.
When he thought of this, Lu Li suddenly became interested. After all, he also knew that a pure Shinigami had its limits, but by combining the power of a Shinigami and a Hollow, it could be further improved. If a hybrid from all directions like Kurosaki Ichigo, the potential would be much higher. Outrageous.
Before entering the world of Death, he had considered whether to try to get some power from the Hollows. Ulquiorra would be a good subject for observation. If he meets up with Sosuke later, he can discuss with him. I believe that with Sosuke's intelligence, he will definitely be able to come up with a perfect 'evolution route'
Well... Of course, forget about the ugly ones. He must remind Sosuke not to evolve into a big fluttering moth during his research. Once the fashion value is lost, it will be fatal in this world.
"Don't you want to know the meaning? You have to feel it with your heart. If you stop here, you won't get the answer."
Lu Kai said. He was not good at teaching others, but he had accumulated rich communication experience in several worlds. He felt that he could still coax Ulquiorra now.
A Yachukas-level Hollow that is evolving into Vastold is a rare subject for observation. At the same time, he also felt that if he could get some help in Hueco Mundo, it would be more convenient for his future actions.
After all, this place is very big. If the offender hides well, he can't find him alone.
In addition to the offender, he also has to consider the problem of the soul singer. From the other party's title, Lu Li thinks that the other party's ability is probably related to the soul, so the soul singer will either fall into the Soul Society or the Hueco Mundo at the beginning.
Making a few friends in Hueco Mundo and asking them to help find together will allow him to collect intelligence faster and facilitate him to complete the hunting of the side quest.
With this in mind, Lu Li has decided to bring Ulquiorra with him.
"If I evolve to Vastod, will I understand what the heart is?"
The humanoid white virtual looked at Lu Li, his eyes full of desire that he himself didn't know.
"I don't know, but you can't get anything by keeping the status quo. You can judge for yourself."
Although Lu Li intended to recruit Ulquiorra to act with him, he didn't intend to fool him. He couldn't answer this kind of philosophical question. Besides, Ulquiorra's brain circuit is not normal. No one can be sure that he will be enlightened after evolution.
In fact, judging from the styles of the Ten Espadas, Lu Li felt that if there was no one to guide or external events to make Xiao Wu "epiphany", even if he evolved to Vastod, he would still be a cold and aloof man.
"Is it my own judgment... You are a god of death... very strange, can I follow you?"
The humanoid white hollow groaned. It was the first time he saw a god of death willing to chat with a hollow, and he was even more curious about what the "heart" was.
Lu Li could only sigh that Ulquiorra was really not an ordinary hollow. Normal hollows should be like the two he killed before, and they would rush to fight him when they saw him.
What is there to talk about between a hollow and a god of death? Not to mention following him to observe and understand what the heart is.
"I will stay in Hueco Mundo for a while. If you can help me deal with some things when I take action, follow me."
Although Lu Li wanted to hunt down violators and possible soul singers in Hueco Mundo, he did not plan to stay in Hueco Mundo for a long time.
To be honest, there are not many profit points in this place. Although the side quests can be fun, he did not come to the world of death to do brick-moving operations. If the soul singer is not in Hueco Mundo, or if he encounters resistance in his plan, he still has to find a way to return to Soul Society first.
After all, he still has some old acquaintances in Soul Society who can help each other. In terms of overall strength, Soul Society is definitely stronger.
"What do I need to help you with?"
The humanoid white virtual followed Lu Li's footsteps, curious about the behavior pattern of this death god. It's not that he has never seen a death god who strayed into Hueco Mundo, but none of them is as powerful as Lu Li and behaves strangely.
He wondered if this was the influence of the heart, which made the death god in front of him do these actions that are different from ordinary death gods. If only he could understand what the heart is.
"Let me think about it..."
Lu Li paused and turned his head with a grin: "Tell me your name first."
