As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 408 Protagonist’s Face

[This reward is the reward for destroying the "Eternal Life Corridor"]

[You will find the "key" needed in the script in her]

The system's big sign was still visible in front of them, separating Li Nuo and the other two from Xia Nuoya.

Chabai held her breath.

"Well...I didn't...meant to wear the same thing as you."

Xia Nuoya took a deep breath. It was indeed terrible to wear the same clothes as others, but in this woman's opinion, it was useless to say so now.

"Devil's Castle?"

Maljie looked at Li Nuo.

The two looked at each other.

"The script this time is Castlevania?"

"Ask."

The three of them turned their eyes to Shanoya.

"I'm looking for Dracula."

Shanoya went straight to the point.

Cha Bai wanted to ask, but Li Nuo and Maerjie were standing in front of her. The fact that they didn't say anything meant that she didn't need to ask now.

"Let me explain the matter briefly... In our world, there is a vampire named Dracula..."

"It revives every few hundred years, and if we don't stop it, it will bring destruction to the world. We know that."

Li Nuo interrupted the other party.

"Speak the key."

Shanoya looked calmly at the man with amber eyes opposite her.

"Dracula fails every time... But this time, we found out... It's looking for a secret potion, something that will make Dracula immortal the next time he appears."

"The wine of eternal life?" Malger had a strange expression on his face.

The name of the main quest is "Wine of Eternal Life".

"Hmm... I don't know... We also found out through the church's fortune teller..."

Xia Nuoya was a little embarrassed. She felt that she knew less than the person opposite her.

Because the person on the other side really knows too much...

In their eyes, she was like a naked girl running around.

Shanoya.

From Castlevania: The Stolen Mark.

The heroine, who is also the only protagonist, has a higher status in the game than Cha Bai in "NieR", but in the world of Li Nuo and others, this woman has never been out of the circle.

"Castlevania" is a place full of all kinds of monsters, from dragons to skeleton soldiers, and their leader is a vampire, well... that's the "Dracula" who is constantly pulled out and whipped in various movies and TV dramas.

Li Nuo couldn't help but think of the Elder Shadow, who is also a vampire. Compared to Dracula in "Castlevania", the Elder Shadow may be an elite monster at most.

He is now confident that he can kill the Shadow Elder, even if there are more than two of them at a time. But if it is the vampire in Castlevania, that would be a different concept. After all, Dracula in Castlevania is a vampire known as the Emperor of the Demon World.

So what Li Nuo cares about most now is whether the next script will be "Castlevania".

On the one hand, the intensity of that script is very messy, and Dracula’s army has all kinds of stuff. On the other hand, Shanoya’s intensity is very high.

The woman opposite is in the "protagonist" template of breaking through the system's limitations in terms of hard power. Simply put, Li Nuo cannot rob her and will be killed.

After the player reaches level 25, all system protections are revoked, causing the original strength of the native world to appear before everyone's eyes. For example, in the ticket-grabbing scenario, facing a large group of fighters, there was a Chun-Li among them. At the beginning, Li Nuo and Chun-Li were able to fight -. In fact, Chun-Li's ability was restricted by the system. If a real fighter faced the players at that time, if a fight broke out, the fighter would be too weak to use the second move.

The same goes for Shanoya.

She is the protagonist, so naturally she has the strength of a protagonist.

Nanami is level 85, and her overall attributes are slightly increased. As the protagonist, her skills and "luck" are what distinguish her from other characters.

Shanoya's timeline is the period when Dracula has been defeated. She launched an investigation because she sensed something unusual about Dracula's remnants. Finally, with the help of a fortune teller, she found out that Dracula's remnants were looking for a secret medicine called "eternal life."

As long as you drink this potion, you can achieve true immortality.

This is what the main quest refers to as the wine of eternal life.

"Are you coming with us?"

Li Nuo asked directly.

"Sorry, no."

Shanoya's denial was reasonable.

"Dracula has put a seal on it. I can't stay in that world for too long... The church has started a ritual to find someone who can help me."

She glanced at the three people opposite her.

Especially the tea-white color that was the same as hers, Xia Nuoya believed that this woman might be herself in another world, after all, they were dressed so similarly.

"Looks like it's you."

But Xia Nuoya felt that it was still not quite right, because Cha Bai's exposed back was not as wide as hers, and hers was so wide that the crack of her buttocks was faintly visible.

For this reason, Xia Nuoya looked at Cha Bai kindly and said kindly:
"Shall I open your back for you?"

"Open back?"

Cha Bai was puzzled, then turned his back and did a ghost back.

"Is this what you mean?"

"Ah? Ah...ah?" Xia Nuoya wanted to dig out her eyes: "Forget it...I'd better say less..."

She handed over a bronze key.

[Key to open the sealed treasure chest]

[Plot items, cannot be taken out of the script unless you crack the level without it]

[Note: The key can only be obtained by defeating an entire corridor without the help of other corridors]

"It is said that this thing can open the treasure chest of what Dracula wants... Anyway, I don't know the details, the church told me..."

Shanuoya's voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was trying to cover up her "incompetence".

"Miss, that's all?"

Li Nuo was particularly unhappy.

"Um……"

"that's it?"

"Well, what else?"

Li Nuo stared blankly.

"There's something on your back that can absorb energy and use it for your own benefit."

There is a large red mark on Shanoya's back that looks like a tattoo. It is the benchmark of her strength.

"Do any of you know alchemy?"

"I."

Li Nuo answered without hesitation, while Cha Bai glanced at him with a half-baked look.

"My ability can only be used by me. If anyone else uses it, they will die... But I have similar powers in return."

Shanoya looked around.

"How strange... where exactly is this place..."

The woman's mind began to unravel, indicating that the time of her existence had come to an end.

"I'll leave the things with you. Please take care of the rest."

"Ms. Shanoya."

Malj stops her.

"Please say."

"Why trust us?"

Xia Nuoya looked at Li Nuo.

"You hunted demons, didn't you?"

As they both have the same profession of "Demon Hunter", they can smell each other's past, and Shanoya's nose is also very sensitive.

"Ah, um."

"That's right. I'll leave the things for you. As for the reward after the completion... I'll give it to you in advance..."

Dark clouds appeared outside the train.

Li Nuo realized that Xia Nuoya's existence was about to come to an end, and immediately became anxious.

"Give me something you have!"

"what?"

Xia Nuoya was stunned. Is it so direct?

"Hair is fine, come on!"

"Ah good……"

Shanoya wrapped her fingers around the fever.

Snap!
The carriage was shrouded in darkness until a few seconds later, when warm light came in from the window again, and Shanoya had disappeared.

Li Nuo held a strand of black hair in his hand.

Too much hair...

He just wanted to use the things on Shanuoya's body to make medicine.

"What a pity! If I had a Poké Ball..."

"and then?"

Chabai asked him.

"Then we can tear the skin off her back."

Li Nuo muttered as he picked up a brown linen package left on the ground.

Open it on the car seat.

A book. An old whip.

A drawing.

A card.

[Book: The Art of Cursing]

[Type: Alchemy]

[Learning conditions: Just be able to understand it]

[Brief description: Shanoya can transform all things into energy and absorb it into her body to transform it into her own power. This ability is called a curse seal. She can also combine two or more curse seals to form a more powerful super curse seal. However, this is her ability after all. What is recorded in the book is the beginning of her ability. As a half-baked alchemist, you should try to see if you can learn it.]

Li Nuo consciously put the book into the mask that had automatically repaired itself after entering the train.

He could use the [Alchemist's Magnifying Glass] to understand some things beyond his level, so he was not in a hurry.

The other two things...seemed to be prepared for him as well.

[The Belmont family's old whip (synthesized material)]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect 1: When used as an item, damage to vampires and evil spirits is doubled]

[Effect 2: When used as a material, increases the level of "Whip" type skills]

[Brief description: Things that have been left there for hundreds of years]

The Belmont family is Dracula's nemesis.

Li Nuo remembered the Charon Belmont whom he first met in the world of "The Demon Hunter". That person had been to "Castlevania" with Soran... Later Soran said that "Castlevania" should be the weakest one among countless parallel time and space, and it couldn't even find the real things of the Belmont family.

"Improve whip skills..."

While speaking, Li Nuo pulled out his walking stick and transformed it into a whip blade.

In just that instant, Belmont's broken whip melted into the whip blade.

Then a panel popped up, causing Li Nuo to cover his mouth.

[Advanced tongue licking]

[You can whip out two whips at once]

[Will this skill return to its original name "Wolf Whip"? ]

Li Nuo stopped him immediately.

"Can you change it to 'lick twice'?"

[Renamed: Licking Twice]

"Hahahahaha!"

Li Nuo laughed wildly.

"check it out."

Malger held up the drawing.

[The modification of Van Helsing's demon hunting pistol blueprint]

[Brief description: Craftsmen who master magic technology can perform enchantment modification on weapons of "excellent" quality or above. The modified hot weapons will "disappear" and be replaced. They can be used five times.]

"Do you still want that Mallorian?"

"want."

"Then I'll switch to a shit gun."

Li Nuo pretended not to hear.

There was also a card on the chair.

This is a card with a portrait of "Shanoya" printed on it.

【Shanoya's Blessing】

【Excellent quality】

[Effect: In critical moments, Shanoya will appear to help you resist one attack and counterattack once]

[Brief description: She is watching you, even when you are taking a shower, she is watching you]

Strictly speaking, these four are things in a script that can only be obtained with a probability by having in-depth communication with the protagonist.

Malger put the blueprint into his coat: "I guess the script is related to Dracula from Castlevania, but the relationship is not likely to be that big... The main storyline is still the 'Wine of Eternal Life'. Anyway, you'll understand once you go there."

"Only this……"

Li Nuo lowered his head.

"Xanoya's appearance is actually mainly to give us the key... Secondly, it tells us that a large number of 'demons' will appear in the script."

His eyes lit up at the thought.

"demon……"

【remind--】

The announcer of the end made a sound.

[As "Endless Corridor" player 5900 thought, it is indeed a reminder of some of the contents of the script, but the key is the key]

"The Endless Corridor" doesn't like to hide hidden content like "The Endless Corridor". It prefers to throw out all temptations and let players fight for them themselves.

"Do you like to reveal all your secrets so much?"

[To make players stronger]

"So you don't have any [Explorers] there?"

【…】

Cha Bai touched the back of Li Nuo's head, signaling him not to recruit them casually. After all, he didn't know the specific style of the other party's corridor very well, what if they would target the players?

【anymore question?】

"I think you can understand that taking the key out without using it is the biggest reward. Is that right?"

【Yes】

"Only Shanoya?"

[Only she will appear, because you are not the only ones who defeated the "Death Corridor", but you will get the biggest share of the rewards]

While answering, Li Nuo and others looked at the reward description of this task.

……

[Defeat an entire team of players and you will receive a "mysterious gift"]

The mysterious gifts include two:
1. All gold coins of the eliminated team.

Now a total of about 250,000 gold coins rolled into Li Nuo and his friends' space.

2. Randomly obtain a skill of the person being killed.

The reward is a coin, and you need to flip the coin to decide which skill to get.

The above rewards are distributed according to the number of teams killed. The gold coins are the total amount of gold coins of the three teams of immortality and death, and each of them has three coins for obtaining skills.

……

[Beat a corridor and participants will receive extra rewards in the form of points]

There are two types of so-called super rewards. For example, if Li Nuo and his team defeat the "Corridor of Eternal Life" alone, Shanuoya will give them rewards and a "secret key" related to the world view. However, they are not the only three who defeat the "Corridor of Death", so there is no other person like Shanuoya.

But there are constant awards, and these three people, who have the most kills, take the lion's share.

The following is the reward share for taking down both corridors:

1. An injection that is upgraded three levels in a row and has its maximum stat increased (players in Corridor of the End receive an injection that is upgraded by one level).

The appearance of the injection is similar to the syringe of [Blood Medicine], and all three of them have it.

2. The next time you start a script, you will have the initial choice (this reward is not available in the Corridor of End).

This reward is tied to the appearance of Shanoya, and can only be obtained by killing the entire corridor without any external help, so there is only one chance.

2. lucky draw gift packs (this reward is not available in the Corridor of the End).

Two blank banknotes.

A lottery ticket of the nature of a lottery.

Li Nuo planned to let Cha Bai be responsible for the beating alone.

4. Randomly amplify two skills. The so-called amplification may be a combination of personal skills (only one player in the Endgame can amplify one skill).

The black skill ball exudes a strange aura. It is engraved with the number and name of the player who can use it. All three of them have it, and they cannot be exchanged.

5. After returning, it will be given when the script is settled.

……

After seeing the reward, Li Nuo felt a little relieved.

All in all, the feedback from the adventure was acceptable, and he was not going to take this risk again for the time being. The remaining "End" and "Sora" were too strong in terms of combat power and unexpectedness, so he needed to make long-term plans.

Li Nuo's eyes suddenly went dark, then light returned to his eyes, and he was the only one left.

Look around.

Maljie and Chabai disappeared without a trace, even their scent disappeared.

When he saw the reflection in the car window, he discovered something particularly outrageous.

"Why did I become a two-dimensional painting style..."

Li Nuo's eyes widened.

He was surprised to discover something extremely horrifying.

"I am the protagonist face?"

A row of large characters appeared before his eyes, blocking his face.

【The train has arrived】

[Forced to get off the bus]

"Hey...I haven't drawn the lottery yet!"

With a loud bang, he felt as if a brick hit the back of his head, and his mind went blank. The next second, he was forcibly thrown out by an unknown force, smashing the car window and thrown outside.

"I have the face of a protagonist! Be gentle to me!"
