Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 122 The time is just right
Option 9.1 is 13.6%, option 45.5 is 31.8%, option [-] is [-]%, and option [-] is [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Ability: Backlash]

Specific manifestations: When others try to erode you physically or mentally through contact, they can erode the other party in turn.

……

Zheng Zhuo hesitated among several options.As the polls show.

In the end, the answer was still given.

【Backlash】.

A defensive skill.

Zheng Zhuo chose it.He didn't have a chance to test it for the time being, but just looking at the literal meaning, this is a realistic skill that can be immune to many kinds of attacks.

……

【Participant: Zheng Zhuo】

[Position: Explorer]

[Worlds that have been cleared: Small Town World, Ocean World, Dungeon World, Magic Academy World, Evolution World]

[Subconscious World Abilities: Appraisal, Quick Casting, Transformation]

[Ability in the real world: mental resistance: madness is invalid, professional proficiency speed*10, black hand, backlash]

……

Zheng Zhuo began to confirm that the [personal information] interface appeared.

"Spiritual resistance: madness is invalid, professional proficiency, black hand, backlash..."

Two defensive skills, two career-oriented skills.

Zheng Zhuo found that his [realistic skills] were slowly forming a skill set.

He is now very suitable to disguise himself as a profession and enter dangerous places to obtain information.

"……No way."

The so-called "what can be done with [real ability]", shouldn't it be a very dangerous thing?
Zheng Zhuo looked at the young woman sitting in front of many egg cases.

The young woman did not continue to look at him.She tapped the computer keyboard rhythmically.

"Uh."

Zheng Zhuo made a sound.

"I have to go now."

A white light flashed.Zheng Zhuo started to leave [Pure White Space].

When he left, he thought a lot.

Like, what does he want to know?
Should we start with the [ability] of our companions first?

How to discover the [ability] of the companion?
Whether the [subconscious world] that can affect reality will cause harm to him and his supporters.

and so on.

Before Bai Guang took Zheng Zhuo away completely, the last thing he thought of was...

"what."

He forgot to ask the young girl's name again.

……

Zheng Zhuo returned home.

Everything is still the same as when he left, nothing has changed.

"Ah."

Zheng Zhuo sneezed.He touched the towel over his shoulder, and felt it up again.

Hair is still damp.

"So, I just took a shower before entering the [subconscious world]... fuck."

He propped himself up on the table and stood up, moving his body a bit.

On the low table, the phone screen was still on.

"That's right. I heard the phone ringing just now."

He picked up the phone.

Caller ID [just now].It seemed that the phone was hung up a second before he returned to his body.

And the caller number...

"Overseas number?"

If Chu Huairen dialed a number that has not been saved, it would be suspicious...

"I always feel that something like this has happened before."

It seems that before entering the [Subconscious World] last time...

Zheng Zhuo racked his brains to think desperately.He paced back and forth in the room, repeatedly checking the phone's call history.

There were also a few overseas calls before.Overseas call...

"what."

Zheng Zhuo remembered.

Before entering the [Subconscious World] last time, he had received several prank calls from unknown people.

Is this a prank call too?
"What. Fortunately, I have seriously considered whether to answer the phone first."

Zheng Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Next...

"When I entered the [Golden World], Chu Huairen seemed to have looked for me."

Zheng Zhuo pulled down the page.He found Chu Huairen's number.

"Call him back."

Just when Zheng Zhuo thought so...

blah blah.

"Ok?"

blah blah.

Zheng Zhuo heard the sound of leather shoes hurriedly stepping on the corridor outside the door.

Very loud sound.Sounds like a lot of grown males are going upstairs at a fast pace.

The single room that Zheng Zhuo rents is located in an old residential area. It is one of the ordinary three-bedroom and one-living rooms that were dismantled into three units and rented out separately.Therefore, the sound insulation effect is much worse than that of ordinary houses.This allowed him to hear the voice more clearly.

"How come..."

Those footsteps came to the door of Zheng Zhuo's room.

"……thing."

He had a bad feeling.

Boom, boom, boom.

The door was knocked hard.

"..."

The people outside didn't even speak.After three beeps...

thump.

They started banging on the door.

"(!?)"

what?
Hey, hey, is this someone else's house?

What are you doing?Am I a good citizen?
thump.

Zheng Zhuo's poor room door was hit hard again.

Squeak.

The latch screamed.

"(This is the real world, right!?)"

Zheng Zhuo didn't understand what happened at all.But his body was already moving.

fight back...

"(Impossible!)"

But Zheng Zhuo didn't intend to just sit at home like this.

He didn't even plan to open the door for the visitor.

He quickly grabbed the sneakers from the porch, put them on, and opened the window as fast as he could.

wow-

The wind was blowing in through the four-story window.

The residential area where Zheng Zhuo lives has been quite old.Covering and adding covers are repeatedly prohibited, just like now, the balcony, pipelines and even outdoor flower stands added by the landlord and neighbors can be seen outside the window of the room.

But even so, standing alone is still...

thump.

The door began to warp.

"(I can't manage that much anymore!)"

Zheng Zhuo grabbed the phone and jumped out of the window.He grabbed the eaves and put the windows back in place, and stood on the outer wall of the fourth floor.

"(distance... can...)"

He first tested the pipes with one foot, and then slowly climbed along the pipes to the balcony on the third floor.

……

[Ability in the real world: mental resistance: madness is invalid, professional proficiency speed*10, black hand, backlash]

……

[Spiritual Resistance: Crazy Ineffective] seems to be working.Zheng Zhuo slid down in a calmer state than he imagined...

He stood precariously on the edge of the balcony on the third floor.

Thanks a lot for this skill.

But if it is possible, Zheng Zhuo wants realistic skills like [Spiderman] and [Flying Apsaras] more now.

After all, he was just able to keep his cool.

In fact, Zheng Zhuo felt that now he was so scared that he was forced to calm down.

Bang!
Zheng Zhuo heard the sound of the door being knocked open above his head.

Followed by.

"Hello, is anyone around!"

"Look over there!"

"The number display is here! The residence registration is also here!"

Several big men shouted and entered the room.

"(Sure enough, they came to look for me?)"

Zheng Zhuo slowly slid down the pipeline... [Professional Mastery Speed ​​* 10] made him climb more and more smoothly... He didn't even know what profession he was triggering now.Thief?robber?

No, the robber is the one who broke into his own house.

"(What did I do? Could it be that the big companies that were sold information came to trouble me? No way? Are you so narrow-minded? Isn't it just selling some of your data——)"

Zheng Zhuo shouted in his heart, jumping from the third floor to the second floor.He landed on the awning with a loud bang.He turned his head and met a skinny old woman in the anti-theft net.

"Oh! My mother, my mother!"

The old woman was frightened by Zheng Zhuo and kept patting her chest.

"Take a deep breath! You—don't be afraid—!"

Zheng Zhuo was also very frightened - if he yelled, the people chasing him above would hear it!

"I'm just passing by! Passing by!"

Zheng Zhuo quickly let go.He slid down the awning again.Seeing that we are about to reach the first floor——

at this time.

Jingle jingle jingle jingle—

Zheng Zhuo's cell phone rang.

"what!?"

Zheng Zhuo was shocked.

The bell rang through the air.

"Below! It's the ringtone just now!"

And on the top, the voices of the big guys came.They run to the window--

Zheng Zhuo's finger touched the answer button.

It wasn't the people who burst into the room who were calling.

But...

"Hello? Zheng Zhuo—"

It was Zhuang Yusheng's voice.

"Oh, it's connected! I'm connected, I'm connected! Hey, you said a few minutes, and you will be back in a few minutes! You really know how to count time! You—"

"..."

Zheng Zhuo let go and fell from the second floor to the first floor.His feet fell to the ground, and there was a sharp stabbing pain.

"I'll get back to you later."

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a reply.

"Huh? It sounds noisy over there... What's the matter?"

"...You really know how to count time."

Zheng Zhuo's head throbbed with veins.He repeated what Zhuang Yusheng had said, and hung up the phone quickly.
