Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 212 Extracting the second exclusive talent (two in one)

Volume Two: The Ferryman

Dark clouds enveloped the entire Linjiang City, and the light rain pattered on the transparent glass shop windows. Water droplets crawled through the windows, leaving traces that snaked like snakes.

The rain is no longer blood-colored, but a normal color.

In Linjiang City, where there is almost no sunshine, such a scene seems normal after a long time.

Under the dim light, Chen Ye crossed his legs, leaned on the sofa, crossed his hands, and his deep pupils seemed to reflect a faint blood light.

He seemed to be looking at something in front of him, concentrating on it.

But there was nothing in front of him, only cheese-wrapped, delicious-looking cakes neatly arranged in the surrounding windows.

Under the warm lighting, there is a little more warm atmosphere.

"Master, here I come!"

Suddenly, a clear voice in the distance rushed over in the form of a cloud of gray mist.

The gray mist then outlined Yuxian wearing a tengu mask and clogs, and jumped out of the gray mist with a shy and ingratiating smile on his face, looking at Chen Ye and saying:
"Ahem, master, can I eat?"

Chen Ye's body didn't move at all, but his gaze turned to Yu Xian with a strange range of motion, and his whole body was as motionless as a wax sculpture.

"Then... I started?"

Yu Xian glanced at Chen Ye with some guilt, and felt a sense of oppression from his somewhat abnormal behavior.

Chen Ye didn't say anything more, but just nodded his head in an invisible way.

After gaining the master's approval, Yu Xian carefully took a piece of cake from the display window, and began to chew carefully.

He didn't even dare to make the usual baji baji sound.

While eating, he turned to Chen Ye secretly from the corner of his eye, and found that the other's eyes turned towards him at a strange oblique angle, staring at him squarely!

This gaze... inexplicably made Yu Xian feel hairy in his heart!
The cake in my mouth has become tasteless.

He wondered what wrong with his head?Or is the owner in a bad mood?Could it be bewitched?
But after a while, Yu Xian found that Chen Ye's eyes were not actually looking at him.

Precisely……

It seems to be staring at something behind you!

Yu Xian suddenly shuddered, as if something was peeking at his secret, he moved his body slightly, and looked behind him...

Delicious cake, under the warm light, reflects the blurred reflection on the window.

Other than that, nothing...

Yu Xian froze for a moment, wondering if he was too suspicious, after all, that adult was usually like this.

The master must have the demeanor of the master!

Perhaps, this master, who looks only a little bigger than himself, is also learning how to be a qualified master?
In fact.

Chen Ye was indeed looking at Yu Xian.

But to be precise, it should be looking at the bloody text beside Yu Xian, which is gradually condensed from thick blood.

【Heh, the devil who kills two birds with one stone, is in high spirits today! 】

[Licking the dog's mouth, the tongue is quick and dexterous, no wonder it can serve two masters at the same time. 】

[It's no wonder that I have gained more and more confidence from the benefits of the two masters. 】

That's right!

This bloody text is the exclusive talent that Chen Yexin has acquired.

Combined with the pupil of luck, he saw that Yu Xian's aura energy has indeed become stronger than before.

as well as……

The purple air line is thicker and more conspicuous, which means that Yuxian is constantly swallowing the devil's food, and his energy is increasing.

The information given by the bloody text has certain value.

Part of the energy of the feather string does come from itself.

But if it's just like this... then the speed of progress may be difficult to achieve such a fast speed.

This means that Yuxian still has another part of the energy, which comes from his other original master.

The owner who helped Chen Ye enter the broadcasting building by presenting a bone ring with a feather string that can penetrate the wall.

"Feather string."

Chen Ye called out suddenly.

"Master, what are your orders?"

The moment he heard the call, Yuxian stopped chewing immediately, and stood up with a solemn expression, as if he was going to do anything to help at any time.

"Who am I to you?" Chen Ye asked suddenly.

Yu Xian replied almost without thinking: "Of course you are my most honorable master!"

"hey-hey……"

"You are the best to me!"

That harmless and flattering smile, combined with this white and pure face, is really hard to make people feel disgusted.

"This mouth is indeed clever enough!" Chen Ye sighed silently.

It seems that the information given by the bloody text is still very accurate!
Since the first two items are almost 90.00% correct, only "obtained benefits from two masters" is left, which is difficult to verify...

But this is enough to prove that the bloody text will give the correct information.

Just express it in its own unique way.

As for whether the recipient can interpret it accurately, it has nothing to do with the text itself.

In addition, Chen Ye's eyes moved up slightly, and looked at the 'Snake Hair Cream Cake' placed in the window display case.

[The cake is beautiful, but ugly. 】

[It's delicious to eat, but it's hard to eat. 】

[The cake maker is really not human! 】

If an ordinary player sees the description in the bloody text, his face will definitely turn black, wondering what the hell this thing is talking about?
How about playing contradiction literature?

But Chen Ye knows that such an expression is actually quite accurate for the "Snake Hair Cream Cake" that he carefully developed.

Wrapped in cream, it looks exquisite.

However, just take a few more bites and the snake inside will pop out and scare you!
From this point of view, Chen Ye's cakes are indeed beautiful, but they are also ugly.

Cream, generally gives players the impression that it is sweet.

however……

The cream of the strange era has a thick fishy smell, which is not very tasty.

It needs to be paired with certain ingredients to be delicious.

Therefore, if you just bite the outer layer of cream, you will feel very nauseous and nauseated, and you will not want to eat after a few bites.

But if you eat it with snake hair and mushrooms inside, it will have a unique flavor.

It's really tasty, but also tough.

Only the description of the last sentence, Chen Ye felt a little impolite.

of course.

Thinking about how I cook as a [Devil Chef], it is really hard to call it a "human"!

"Will this stuff pop up no matter what I look at now?"

Chen Ye smiled wryly, looking at the exclusive talent he had unlocked, he didn't know whether to laugh three times or cry three times.

This talent is indeed very useful.

However, it is everywhere, as long as you see something, related text expressions will pop up.

It's like in the scene reflected in the pupils, there will always be a series of bullet screens floating by, blocking the line of sight!

It's hard to even see things.

Moreover, this thing still came out in the form of blood, which is strange.

Always staring at this thing, I feel uncomfortable all over.

But the bloody text has another more convenient use...

With Chen Ye's mind moving, the bloody text gradually formed a panel——

【Personal panel】

…………

At this time, among Chen Ye's exclusive talents, there was a brand new talent——

【Study in Scarlet】

This is Chen Ye's exclusive talent for this month.

No matter what he looks at, bloody text will appear, like a riddleman, making abstract expressions.

It seems that I have to study the mystery hidden in these bloody words in order to know what is going on with the specific information described.

In addition, [Scarlet Research] also has a special function——

That is, you can project the text on the screen of the scarlet phone into the field of vision directly in front of you.

Manipulate with thought.

Not only can you open the personal panel, but you can also smoothly send messages, hang out in the forum, blow water on the public screen, and browse the latest items on the [Weird Black Market].

This function is quite convenient, at least it can be operated without taking out the bloody phone.

I don't know if it's because the text on the bloody screen is also bloody, so it can echo with [Scarlet Research]'s exclusive talent.

As for Chen Ye's personal assets, copper coins were 100 million more.

The 100 million was actually the copper coins collected from the players after the "Concert of All Beings" was held.

After all, this is a concert covering the entire city, and the amount of copper coins earned is of course extremely large!
Except for some penniless tramps, the copper coins collected from players amounted to as many as one million.

On average, each listener pays one copper coin as a performance fee.

The unit price is not very high...

This should be due to the fact that Chen Ye's performance was done "online", not face-to-face offline. Therefore, the performance fee charged was not very high.

If you think about it, it's normal.

A song by a celebrity only costs three yuan at most on an online platform, but tickets for a concert can easily cost hundreds or even thousands.

The unit price of my "online" performance in the strange era is much better than that of stars in the old era.

At last……

Chen Ye's eyes fell on the weird value that turned into a question mark.

He is not alone.

Through the discussion on the public screen and the forum, the weird values ​​of all players have become question marks.

It's like it's completely useless...

After all, the bonus brought by the weird value is only more obvious for some professions.

But the specific improvement is still very vague.

And... the weird value is only displayed on the screen of the bloody phone, which is used to represent the value of this month's growth.

However, it is not particularly obvious where the specific growth is.

"Is it just a month's worth of competition games?" Chen Ye frowned, thinking to himself.

But if it's that simple, then the "weird value" should be the same as the "governance value", and disappear when the list is settled.

However, there are still weird values ​​left in each player's personal panel.

It's just...the value behind it is not displayed, it has become a question mark?
It's a bit counterintuitive.

At this moment, Chen Ye's mind moved, and the 'good luck dice' appeared in the palm of his red glove.

at this time……

Chen Ye's spiritual power suddenly felt a special feeling.

It seems that there is some kind of pulling energy that binds itself and the characteristics of the sequence of fate to one place.

Since finishing yesterday's "Concert of All Beings", Chen Ye has clearly felt that his connection with the entire city of destiny has become closer.

Every time he closes his eyes, he will feel as if there are countless indescribable, inscrutable, and incomprehensible beings, dormant everywhere in this city, or buried deep in the ground, or higher than the sky...

This kind of feeling seems to be something that other players don't have, but when the weird value becomes a question mark, such a special feeling often invades Chen Ye, making him feel inexplicably uneasy spiritually.

Chen Ye intuitively told him that the influence of the weird value still exists, but it is likely to be in a form that players cannot understand!
What exactly is the situation...

He recalled the déjà vu that Bai Chen mentioned, thought for a while, and finally gave up with a long sigh.

When there is not enough personality, thinking about these things that go beyond oneself is harmful but not beneficial.

According to the law of the strange era, the smaller you are, the less you should go beyond what you shouldn't know.

Right now, the most important thing is to improve your strength as soon as possible, find the promotion materials for [Ferryman] rank four, and determine the follow-up promotion sequence with [Devil Chef]!

Chen Ye planned to toss the 'good luck dice' again to see how the recent important events would correspond.

As the dice are thrown upwards, they fall back to the ground...

Da da da!
The moment the dice fell to the ground, it made a crisp sound, rolled a few times quickly, and suddenly stood on it in a strange posture!

"3" and "4" go up almost at the same time at an angle.

After a while, the dice lost its balance and automatically fell on the number "4".

"That is to say, my next incident is related to the spiritual number three and four, and finally fell back to four..."

Chen Ye rubbed his chin, trying to interpret the strange phenomenon of the dice this time.

At this moment, the bloody text appeared in front of him again, lingering above the dice.

【luck?Something the weak believe in! 】

[But there is nothing wrong with believing in luck. 】

[It is a whole and a part of it. 】

"here we go again!"

"The exclusive riddle of the bloody text..."

Chen Ye complained in his heart, focused his eyes on the newly appeared bloody text, and suddenly frowned, and studied it carefully.

The description that appeared this time is even more abstract!
among them.

The first two sentences contain strong contradictions.

It is ridiculing to believe in luck again, and understanding the reason for believing in luck...

What does the last "it" refer to?
What is the whole and what are the parts?
Chen Ye was suddenly confused, and it was difficult to understand what the bloody text was trying to express.

But it's normal, after all, I just saw a 'good luck dice', and counting on the exclusive talent to solve the mystery of the entire city of destiny, that's completely whimsical!
"Ding!"

At this moment, a notification sound came from the scarlet phone.

Chen Ye habitually took out the scarlet mobile phone in his pocket, but his right hand froze in the air, and he was suddenly taken aback.

correct!

Didn't I have the talent of [Scarlet Research]?
It only takes a thought to open the panel, and what is the waste of effort to take out the phone?
Adhering to the principles of energy saving, convenience, courage to try and get used to using the latest operations, Chen Ye communicated with the bloody text with his mind, and opened the information list.

Lines of cumbersome words appeared in the center of Chen Ye's field of vision in that familiar tone.

【Wang Jing: "Hahaha, boss, I didn't expect you to actually kill Hua Shao's thing!"】

【Wang Jing: "Hmph! Those frogs in the well on the forum always look down on the boss, thinking that you have no chance to fight back."]

【Wang Jing: "Now that group of players are completely dumb. Recently, the forums are all blowing about you. It's so cool to watch!"】

Chen Ye suddenly felt that compared with Yu Xian, this is the real dexterous mouth... No, to be precise, it should be a stormy mouth.

It's not ordinary to be able to lick!
Compared with Wang Jing, Yu Xian's tongue is as green as a clumsy rookie.

【Chen Ye: "By the way, how are you doing recently?"】

【Wang Jing: "It's still the same as before, but now this shop is not only for tasting, but also for catering. The business is better than before."】

【Chen Ye: "Are you interested in working in my shop?"】

【Wang Jing: "What? Boss? I have the opportunity to work under your command."】

【Chen Ye: "Well, I will give you a salary of two hundred copper coins every day, and the daily payment will be made until you don't want to do it."】

[Wang Jing: "Boss, don't talk about salary, I can even work for free, hey, I'll hang out with you from now on!"]

【Chen Ye: "Okay... free these unrealistic things, then think about it, if you have time, come to the No. [-] shop on West Street [-]rd Road, there should be no danger around here."】

【Wang Jing: "Okay! Boss, wait for me! I'll tidy up the shop. It's a bit late today, so I won't be able to go until tomorrow."]

【Chen Ye: "Well, just come here if you have time."】

After finishing the communication, Chen Ye looked outside the West Street, where gradually more silhouettes appeared.

The nearby shops are brightly lit, but most of them are hung with curtains, and you can only see the blurred outline inside, and you can't see what is there, so a certain degree of privacy is guaranteed.

After all, most of the owners of these shops have been rented out by players.

just now……

This paradise is going to be completely turned into a player paradise!
After a period of adaptation, the players interacted in the park.

The traffic on the pedestrian street has gradually increased.

In addition to the players, there seemed to be some aborigines coming and going.

It is estimated that the integrity restaurant run by himself will also welcome a group of guests.

That silly boy Wang Jing doesn't have much in mind, so he can still recruit someone to look after the shop for him.

Chen Ye does not intend to give up the benefits of physical stores.

after all……

This month's list has become a new list——

[Asset Rising List! 】
