Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 522: Imitation Teardrop, but a scrapped version?
Blaze left obediently.

He was not willing to admit defeat, but after assessing the situation, he felt that he had no chance of winning. After all, not only was Li You obviously stronger than him, but there were also three people beside him who had not yet made a move. Judging from their momentum, they were probably not weaklings.

However, the look in Blaze's eyes when he left showed that he would not give up.

Li You ignored this, put away the fire-patterned staff, and looked at his companions: "Okay, let's move on. Aggie, please stay alert."

"no problem."

Not to mention how to deal with Blaze's forces, Li You actually didn't think that Blaze and Iggy's master cared so much about the conflict between Seren and the Kalia royal family, or the fate of the royal family.

The person Blaze serves is called Lani, the "Princess of the Moon".

Lani is also one of the children of the Full Moon Queen and the hero Radagon. After Radagon became the queen's husband, she was also ranked among the demigods, and she herself is also a "god-man", that is, a person who has the ability to bear the law and become a candidate for god.

However, for some reason, Ranie abandoned her original destiny, completely changed her appearance, and disappeared in the Shard War. Even Gideon, known as the Lord of Wisdom, did not know where she was.

The reason is that Lani gave up almost everything in the past in order to cast aside the fate imposed on her by the Golden Law system and choose her own future.

Therefore, for her, there may not be many things worth remembering in the royal family of Kalia. The only things she cares about are probably her mother and the old ministers like Blaze and Iggy who have always followed her.

Of course, this is just Li You's speculation based on his gaming experience. After all, Lani is the official candidate for wife - if her ending goes, they will get married.

Please note that this marriage is not the cult wedding like in Dark Souls where a sword is inserted into the head of the groom/bride, but the kind where wedding rings are put on people in a serious manner.

So yes, Lani is also the wife in the hearts of many faded people.

However, Li You had never thought about marrying Lani in this world. He was not crazy about marriage, and he had no intention of staying here.

It's just that, judging from the impression Lani left on him, she probably wouldn't care much about Seren's affairs. This was probably just Iggy and Jerry's idea - Lani had few restrictions on these old ministers.

This is Li You’s guess. As to whether it is right or not, we will know later.

After being disturbed by Blaze, Li You no longer had the mood to play with the replicant teardrop not far ahead, and simply raised his hand to summon the hovercraft.

"Everyone get in the car, let's fly over."

In fact, what Li You is looking for is very close to what Blaze is looking for. They are both in the Eternal City area that can be seen from the edge of the cliff, in the distance and below.

So yes, in fact, after arriving here, he could fly directly over. Before, he just wanted to play with the imitation teardrop. However, if he hadn't taken such a detour, he wouldn't have gotten the news about Kara. It was an unexpected gain.

There is no need to delay any longer. If he continues along the abandoned temple ahead, he will have to pass through an ancestral forest, which is a bit of a detour. Li You had never planned to go that way.

From what Li You has seen so far, most of the border areas have been enlarged proportionally, but the castles and cities are still basically unchanged, and the same is true for the Eternal City underground.

So here, although the rift cliff in the middle is several times wider than in the game, the buildings in Noklongn are still the same, and it is also very easy to find the original corresponding locations.

The hovercraft quickly flew over the wide cliff and landed at the broken end of the road below.

In the game, this place is the blessing of the Night Realm. Behind it is a bottomless cliff, and in front is the core area of ​​Noklongn, which is one of the few intact buildings. The tall buildings on both sides are sandwiched between the wide avenue in the middle.

On the road ahead, a large number of the silver teardrop creatures seen before were scattered everywhere, and at the end of the road was a tall "Chair Temple", because the temple was shaped like a stone high-back chair, and on it sat a giant skeleton in a robe.

"What is that...?" The first person to be attracted was Yuzu, who always paid special attention to these things.

"What a pity. I don't know either." Li You shook his head. "Some people suspect that it was the product of the Knox people's intention to create a god in the past, but it's just speculation. In any case, it is completely dead now."

"Don't worry about that side for now, let's go inside." Li You pointed to the building on the right.

What he wanted to find at first was inside this building.

"This way, right? Okay." V ​​felt a little bored. After all, she hadn't gotten a proper fight since coming to the underground, so she took the lead and walked to the front, and immediately went into the building.

"...Hey, wait!" Li You tried to stop him, but V had already flashed in.

“——What the hell is this!?”

Then, her cry of surprise was heard.

Li You and the other two rushed over immediately. When they entered, they saw a huge silver ball rolling back and forth in the lobby of the building, chasing after V.

However, the huge sphere looked very heavy, and it moved with a clumsiness that matched its size. It turned very slowly, so it was actually very easy to dodge.

V was only startled by the sudden appearance of this thing at the beginning, so by now he had already reacted. Pandora turned directly into a sledgehammer and smashed towards the silver ball with a "bang".

This time she used all her magic power, and she knocked the silver sphere, which looked very heavy, off the ground and flew straight towards Li You and the other two who were at the door!
Li You did not dodge, and the spiral spear appeared in his hand, thrust forward, and accurately pierced the huge flying sphere. The silver sphere stopped moving, and then the entire sphere gradually turned into silver-gray mist and dissipated, with only a small piece remaining on the tip of the spiral spear.

The spiral gun then shortened, and Li You took off the remnant on the gun tip and looked at it in front of his eyes.

It was a bright silver teardrop remnant that vaguely looked like a baby's arms. In fact, it was the core of the huge sphere just now, the teardrop larva.

This is also one of Li You’s goals, but it is not necessary for the time being.

In front, V had already put away Pandora and came over to complain: "You should have told me in advance that there was this thing in here."

Li You said, "I haven't said anything yet, but you rushed in." He put the teardrop larvae into his backpack and pointed to the second floor of the hall: "Let's go upstairs."

At the end of the corridor on one side of the second floor is a secret room where the ashes of the Simulated Teardrop are stored. It is sealed by a special mechanism in the game and can only be unlocked with a consumable item called the Stone Sword Key.

Li You naturally did not forget this, so on the way from Nimgfu, he had found a way to get a stone sword key that could be used to lift the seal.

After going up to the second floor, the scene here is exactly the same as Li You remembered. A secret room sealed by a barrier is at the end of the corridor. After inserting the stone sword key into the mouth of the little devil in front of the door, the barrier is automatically unlocked, but the stone sword key cannot be retrieved.

In the secret room behind the barrier, there is an exquisitely shaped black iron treasure chest, which should contain the ashes of the simulated teardrop.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Li You pushed open the lid of the treasure chest.

It was empty inside.

Li You: "?"

Companions: “?”

Li You was stunned for a moment and didn't react. No, the door on your side is locked. Could it be that the elder brother's ashes can still fly away? Don't be so unreasonable!

"Li You, up there!" Just when Li You was about to explode, Edge spoke out a reminder, and everyone immediately looked up.

On the ceiling of the room, a particularly small silver teardrop was moving, slowly detaching from the plane it was originally attached to, and dripping towards Li You!

In an instant, Li You and V's figures flashed quickly. Not only did they retreat themselves, but they also took Yuzu and Edge with them. Naturally, the small silver teardrop fell into the air, and with a "pop", it dripped onto the floor in front of the treasure chest.

"This is... a small-sized Silver Teardrop? Is it their juvenile form or something?" V was a little surprised. "Didn't they say that Silver Teardrop is an artificial life form? And it has a juvenile stage?"

"They do have an infancy, but they don't look like this." Li You answered casually. He was frowning slightly and carefully observing the tiny teardrops in front of him.

He did not feel the strong inorganic aura from this teardrop like the silver teardrop, and the other party did not show any hostility. It never moved after falling down.

"Is this..."

Li You immediately recalled the video about the abandoned game of the Ring of Law that he had seen in the past. In the abandoned files of the game, the original teardrop was a teardrop NPC that slowly grew inside the player's body and finally had the ability to transform into a second self. It was said that the teardrop's ashes were also the reward for completing the long branch line, so it had such exaggerated abilities and strength.

Although the abandoned project in Li You's impression was different from the small teardrop in front of him, Li You did sense a different breath from it.

So he hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked forward, squatted, and reached out his hand to the little teardrop.

The tiny teardrop also noticed Li You's approach. It moved slightly, stretched out a dangling tentacle, touched Li You's fingertips, and then immediately retracted.

After waiting for a while, it seemed to react and crawled towards Li You's palm with its entire body.

His companions were watching the interaction between Li You and the tiny teardrop from behind. The teardrop, which was only the size of a palm when spread out, climbed up Li You's hand, moved a little, and stopped at his wrist. It then stretched around his wrist and finally condensed into a dark silver bracelet.

"Is this... what you're looking for?"

After everyone was silent for a moment, V finally couldn't help but ask. Yuzu and Edge also looked at him curiously.

Li You scratched his head for the first time: "This... I don't know either, but it seems that this is the only gain here, take it with you first."

There was nothing else in the black iron treasure chest. Li You confirmed this after repeated checks, so he had no choice but to leave.

After walking out of the building, he turned his attention to the Chair Temple at the end of the avenue. In the room below the Chair Temple was what Lani sent Blaze to obtain.

Considering Kara's position, Li You decided to keep his word and take the "secret treasure" away directly.

The group then advanced along the main road of the Dark Night Realm. After dealing with a large number of ordinary silver tears, a few silver tears that could transform into human forms, and the last one, a silver tear that could transform into a giant mountain monster, they finally arrived at the gate of the Chair Temple.

Inside the Chair Temple, there is another black iron treasure chest, with gorgeous decorations exactly the same as the previous one.

Li You stepped forward to touch it, but felt an invisible force locking the treasure chest. Even with his strength he could not move it at all. There was even a faint repulsive force coming from the box, rejecting his touch.

This is not surprising, because the box contains Nokron's secret treasure - the Hunting Finger Knife. It is said that the knife is a terrifying weapon that can harm the messenger, finger, and even the Supreme Will itself. It is also one of the reasons for the destruction of the Eternal City.

But because of the special nature of this short sword, it can only be used by those who have the corresponding destiny. Even in the game, if the player has not joined Rani's men, he cannot open this treasure chest, and it will only show "There is no destiny to open this item".

Of course Li You would not forget such an important thing. He already knew that he probably would not be able to open the treasure chest.

But it just means that the treasure chest cannot be opened.

Li You patted the treasure chest that was sealed by a special fate, smiled, then bent down and grabbed the bottom of the treasure chest, and with a force, he lifted the entire box up!
"ha--!!"

Not to mention, although it looks ordinary, this iron treasure chest is unexpectedly heavy, and it seems to be about to crush Li You. This should be the so-called "weight of fate."

But Li You had already lifted it up, and that was enough.

The next second, the treasure chest disappeared completely and was instantly thrown into the system backpack by Li You.

There is no corresponding destiny and the treasure chest cannot be opened?
I'll just take all the boxes away from you!
Having fulfilled his promise to Wolf Brother Blaze, Li You clapped his hands, feeling satisfied: "Okay, now everything we need to do is done, let's go back to the ground."
