Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 21 The Thief

Chapter 21 The Stealer

"This water...can anyone still drink it?"

When Chen Ye saw the water in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River, this idea immediately popped into his mind.

Logically speaking, as long as a player with a relatively normal brain circuit sees such water quality...

You should know that you can't drink it, right?
Could it be that there are some special hobbies?
However, under Chen Ye's careful observation, he found that the water quality in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River was becoming increasingly polluted.

Looking at it with the pupil of luck, the faint black mist keeps surging, and it seems to be getting thicker and thicker.The corresponding strange eye in the middle of the river, revealing the aura of luck, is a never-ending abyss, which is constantly falling...

"The situation is getting serious."

Chen Ye frowned slightly, the halo of luck revealed in front of his eyes was similar to those three unlucky Mengxins.

It seems to be sliding towards a certain abyss that is beyond redemption...

Combined with the downstream river view, the water quality here may gradually become serious.

If it had been last night, it might not have been that serious.When it was dark, the player couldn't see the situation in the water, so he accidentally drank it.There were teammates watching and witnessing the tragedy, which naturally became information on the forum.

On the riverside path in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River, there is no longer a main road full of colorful flowers. The surrounding area is overgrown with weeds and is barren. Only iron railings about one meter high block the road.It can be seen from this that the lower reaches are not within the jurisdiction of Prince Hai.

Only ten meters away, the scene is very different!
"The strange eye in the center of the lake is somewhat similar to the halos that appeared on the heads of the three unlucky people who entered the cake shop."

"I don't know if Xijiang has something to do with the cake shop..."

"If anything, the situation may be more complicated than imagined."

In "The Era of Strangeness", there are some strange things that not only have a fixed domain, but also can continue to spread and radiate the surrounding areas.

Soon, these areas will become restricted areas, and ordinary players will almost certainly die if they enter!

The restricted area can no longer be described as an advanced dungeon, it feels like it is completely prepared for the top players.

Added a challenging and playable Hell-level dungeon for later players.

However, when the game comes to reality, this hell-level copy is no fun!
That was going to really be hell!
But fortunately... the situation in Xijiang is not that bad.

Chen Ye was always paying attention to the halo of luck on his head, and found that the color of the halo had not changed.

Explain that as long as you don't rush to death and don't drink the water downstream, there will be no danger for the time being.

"Anyway, it's still a novice period, so it shouldn't be possible to come to such a difficult dungeon immediately."

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, looked around, and found that there were no other figures nearby.

He took out the suona from his pocket, looked at Jiang Jing, and couldn't help playing a tune.

The ear-piercing tune, paired with the weird downstream scene, unexpectedly has an inexplicable sense of fit!
[Strange value +80! 】

[Strange value +80! 】

Even the increase in the weirdness value will become faster, I don't know if it is because the tune is very suitable for the artistic conception!

Suddenly, the strange eyes beside the pool suddenly slipped into the water and disappeared.

It seems that even the strange eye can't stand this ugly music...

"Is it so ugly?"

Chen Ye was speechless, his suona could scare away even monsters, luckily he didn't play it on the street!
Otherwise... I'm afraid I will be beaten every minute!
but.

Chen Ye found that practicing suona by the river downstream seemed to be a good choice.

The growth rate of the weird value is much faster than that of Xining Alley!
"I see."

"Songs that fit the artistic conception are also a performance of the musicians."

"An excellent musician needs to be proficient in the ability to control the music, and can freely mobilize the emotions of the audience. Naturally, he needs to cater to various scene images."

"Uh... the suona I play seems to match the scene here inexplicably."

Chen Ye wanted to understand the reason why the speed of the strange value increase could be increased by playing here.

However, this is not the limit growth rate.

With a more advanced posture, he wandered around with the pace of a "wanderer", while playing the suona and practicing the repertoire.

soon.

The increase in the weirdness value has reached one hundred!
After a whole half a day, Chen Ye obtained [-] strange points by relying on the double acting method!
Until noon.

feeling thirsty, hungry...

Chen Ye took out a sugar-fried chestnut from his pocket, chewed it carefully and swallowed it, and immediately felt a warm current flowing through his limbs again, and his fatigue disappeared instantly.

He slowly enjoyed the taste of fried chestnuts in sugar on his tongue, after all, this is the meal for today.

In the initial stage, Chen Ye held the mentality of saving if he could, and did not squander too many resources.

In this dangerous world, enjoying a safe and delicious meal is something worth cherishing.

At noon, several figures appeared nearby one after another.

The flow of people in Xijiang has increased.

Even in the area near the downstream, there are traces of other existences.

Chen Ye didn't continue to practice suona, he was afraid that his yin music would provoke some weird things, or disturb some irascible elders' enjoyment of Jiangjing...

He stepped back upstream, walked to the edge of the lake, and filled a basin of water with the bucket he had bought at the grocery store.

"no problem."

Before drinking, Chen Ye used the pupil of luck to observe carefully to make sure the water quality was safe, and then drank it in one gulp.

The refreshing water of the river immediately swept away the heat of noon.

Chen Ye carried a whole bucket of water, passed through the gate of Xijiang Park, and prepared to return along the original route...

At this moment, a girl with a dirty face suddenly rushed out from the shade of the green belt not far away, and ran in front of Chen Ye.

The girl looked to be about 14 years old, with a slender and thin body, wearing a thin and old-fashioned short-sleeved shirt, and the lower end of the linen trousers was slightly damaged, revealing a small ankle that could be lightly clasped with the index finger and thumb.She was not wearing shoes, her feet were covered in black mud, and a small red string was tied around her left ankle.

Chen Ye was slightly stunned. With the pupil of luck, he observed that the girl was surrounded by gray mist, like a lost lamb that lost its direction.In the gray mist, there is a faint purple awn, but the purple awn is very faint, so weak that it is almost invisible...

"This halo of luck is not dangerous."

Chen Ye judged in his heart.

"Well...can you give me some water?"

The girl's eyes fell on the bucket in Chen Ye's hand, and her black pupils showed eagerness, like a crow that had been hungry for seven days and seven nights but could not drink the water in the bottle.

Chen Ye looked the girl up and down, looked at her downcast heart, and thought to himself:
"Maybe a homeless one too?"

After all, the outfit of a young girl is no different from that of a beggar, even worse than that of a genuine [Wanderer]...

Not even shoes!
It looks pathetic.

The same [Wanderers] need to help each other.

Chen Ye thought for a while, then took out a basin of water from the bucket, and handed it to the girl: "I can share some with you."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

The girl thanked her three times in a hurry, and couldn't wait to take the water ladle and drank it all in one gulp.

"Alive!"

She wiped the corners of her mouth contentedly, and let out a long sigh, as if Chen Ye's water was the sweetest nectar in the world.

"My name is Shen Meng, you saved my life, and I will repay you in the future."

"It's just... I don't have any money for the time being..."

"But if you have anything to do in the future, I will do my best to help you."

Shen Meng said sincerely.

"you are welcome."

Chen Ye smiled, and then left with the bucket, as if it was just a trivial matter.

Looking at the back of Chen Ye leaving... Shen Meng's eyes showed gratitude, and she murmured:

"There are still good people in this world!"

"It's just that, why is my profession [Stealer]?"

"A thief shouldn't be a good person...but he was saved by a good person... Sigh...my mother taught me that I can't be a bad person."

"As the saying goes: Good people are rewarded with good things, and evil people are rewarded with evil things."

"Otherwise, there shouldn't be such a special rule in the [Thiefer]'s rules—you can't just accept other people's gifts."

"But it seems that there is nothing wrong..."
