As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 454: The Abducted Devil May Cry
In a chaotic slum, at a messy intersection, there is an office.

Signature: Devil May Cry.

Unlike the bright lights of the surrounding shops, the office was pitch black. The specimens on the wall looked even more eerie in the dark world.

The owner, Dante, was sitting in the chair where he was handling things. He tilted the chair back and crossed his legs on the counter, where the last pizza was placed.

While we were eating leisurely, the first customer of the office this month finally arrived.

"You stink here."

Dante sucked the oil on his fingers and raised his eyebrows indifferently.

"I know. It smells like garbage in the microwave."

Customer: "I have a job that pays first."

The person who came in threw a letter to Dante.

"Well, please pay the water and electricity bills for me first."

"You should read the contents of the letter first."

Dante closed his eyes, opened the letter and began to read.

"Glov, sounds familiar, who is it?"

"The new mayor of Mule City."

"I don't know."

This Dante is a bit gloomy.

The guest said: "That's right, you have only been in this world for a short time."

"Only two months." Dante replied: "This damn world is so boring."

"Anyway, let's get back to business, Dante. Mr. Grove has entrusted you with something that has to do with the devil. Let me show you something."

The guest was very familiar with Dante's office and turned on his TV as if he was at home, but it was out of power.

"Idiot, I told you to pay my utility bills."

"The power is out, but the sign is still flashing?"

"If the sign is not on, will you find me?"

Dante had no way of retaliating against the other party, so he had to take out a photo of a black dragon flying in the sky.

"Well, I don't want to answer it. It's not a demon."

"Don't say that, Dante. Aren't you trying to find a way to go back? The location where it appeared might be related to the void."

Dante took the thin bills in the envelope between his fingers and shook them a few times.

"First, I need money to pay the utility bills."

"This is the deposit."

"Hi~ Interesting, whose deposit is so small?"

"That's just the way the world is, Dante."

"What about other benefits? If you want me to help, the mayor of Malu City can't just give me such a small benefit."

"Dante, you have come to this new world, so you need to learn to be humble first."

Dante sneered and looked at the large floor-to-ceiling mirror opposite him.

"I remember when I was a kid, I saw a boy with delicate features, a handsome face, and a pure and clean aura. He looked like an elf who was not affected by worldly things. An old man told me that day... kid, that's called a mirror."

What he meant was "I'm very narcissistic."

The customer had no choice but to try to give him other benefits.

bell--!
The phone rang.

Dante hooked his finger, and the guest consciously helped him pick up the microphone and handed it to him.

"Hey?"

"Oh, you're the exorcist who put an ad in the tabloids?"

"Ah." Dante tapped the table with his heel, shaking up a piece of pizza and catching it, then agreed while eating: "What?"

Outside a city.

The person standing in the phone booth is a member of the "Mechanical Cult", the temporary head of the "Alien Research Center Office", the top star of the "Mechanical Cult Gigolo Branch", and an evolved human being from the "NieR World" - a handsome man.

"It's like this, there's a ghost here, if you do me a favor, I'll pay you."

Dante glanced at the customer, stuffed the entire pizza into his mouth, and narrowed his eyes after swallowing.

"Heh, okay."

"Let me make it clear first. This is a group of very strange ghosts. Ghosts that were teleported from the void."

The handsome men refer to Li Nuo, Cha Bai, Wells and Kayako and other ghosts who were saved by the little robot in "Between Evil Spirits".

The ghosts watched Malge's portrait being liberated and ran to the base of the "Mechanical Cult" in this world.

"Let's talk about it when we get there."

Dante didn't even ask for money. He stood up and swung the long sword on the table leg with a sweeping kick. He held it in his hand, made some sword flowers, and walked out of the house.

"Tell the mayor I have no interest in his job."

The guest stood there in a daze. He just didn't understand why they had to perform such a meaningless sword show?

"Mr. Grove."

The guest called Grove, who was in a state prison.

"That person does not accept your commission."

"It makes sense. Compared to official people like us, he prefers dealing with civilians. Maybe he hates official institutions."

"Do you want to use the ability to teleport him back as an addiction? As a middleman, I do have a way to make some false evidence."

"Forget it, don't underestimate them."

Grove had contact with Dante, but the latter did not remember him.

He only knew that Dante was amazing.

In fact, if the handsome man and his crew had not suddenly interrupted the call, Dante would have accepted the task because of the issue of water and electricity bills.

Therefore, the main reward of "World War": the help of the protagonist, came naturally.

but……

In short, this matter is the fault of the "Mechanical Cult".

Li Nuo and the others don’t know that the rewards for the main quest are about to be revised.

Grof hung up the phone. It was no longer possible to hire Dante to save the train.

Pesca sat opposite and could see the displeasure of the new mayor of Mule City.

"I have lived two hundred years, Grof."

“You don’t need to show off.”

"No, I'm telling you, there is a solution to everything."

"Is this the advice of an old monster with a lifespan of 200 years?" Grove said in an unhappy tone: "Master Pesca, whose side are you on?"

"It's your turn now." Pesca said bluntly: "Compared to letting those believers succeed, I would rather my church be destroyed."

“Because it’s not your church anymore?”

"It's like this, Grof." Pesca said, "The 'Undead' only appeared out of interest, but he is biting back at me. Those priests have gone crazy a long time ago."

"Just for fun?" Grove's eyes widened. He was angry. "Just because you're just for fun, you can make hundreds or thousands of people become your experimental subjects?"

twenty years ago.

Grof witnessed with his own eyes the "human experiment village" that was set up on the border.

He captured Pesca there and also found his sister's unrecognizable body. That day he gave Pesca a magazine of bullets and a barrel of gasoline, hoping to avenge his sister with fire and death, but... Pesca was immortal.

There was only hatred in Grof's eyes. He kept this matter in his heart, a secret that even his wife didn't know.

The soldiers around Grove's hands were shaking.

"You too, soldier?"

"Yes, sir," said the soldier, "my father..."

"Okay, stop talking. I'm sorry, it was my emotions that triggered your bad memories."

Grof looked at Pesca again, the unscrupulous bastard leader.

"Look, Grof," Pesca said calmly, "How can you be sure that I was the one who did that?"

Then Pesca looked at the soldier and said, "And this gentleman, I'm sorry, but I haven't done human experiments for fifty years, and I guess you're no older than twenty-five."

"Someone has to be held accountable for this," Grove said.

"Then we should let the instigator come." Pesca tapped the table and read out the names one by one: "Adela, Darkrai, Sava, Garomus, Keiji Shimamoto, Yehero, Pica, and Gus. These eight are the ones who have been in power in the church for the past fifty years."

Grover knew what he meant.

If the eight priests in the train were killed, the "Church of the Undead" would be destroyed, and then Pesca's greatest danger would also be gone.

But Grof just lowered his head, his mind filled with the images of those who had died.

He raised his hand and said to his subordinates, "Go gather some more people who can 'exorcise demons.'"

"No need, sir." Pesca said, "If they don't want to, there's no need to force them. Besides, let's get back to the topic we started with."

Grof faced the cult leader who had lived for two hundred years.

"Don't worry about anything, everything has its destiny, and everything has a solution."

……

Li Nuo tilted his head, crossed his arms, and sat on the weapon box.

"Why did Chabai go inside Omega?"

He was puzzled.

But there is no means of communication. The voice-transmitting elf was taken away by Mei Xuan, and Maljie's communicator is broken. Cha Bai's floating hand has a backup voice-transmitting device, but it can't be used to communicate either. Since the floating hand is broken, it means a problem.

In the process of killing Toguro, Chabai used the [Flame Hammer] on him.

"Toguro is so powerful... that 'body' wouldn't be able to be a hero again in eighteen years if I just had my head blown off."

Li Nuo's mind was filled with thoughts of his floating hand being broken.

"She must be thinking that after killing Darkrai, she can return to the carriage, reset her skills and body, and let the floating hand be broken."

Thinking of this, Li Nuo lowered his head and covered his forehead with his hands.

"I'm sorry."

But after thinking about it, if he hadn't killed Darkrai just now, he might have been seriously injured by those guys in the cult.

So he was happy again.

“With every gain there must be a loss.”

Just then, the system settlement panel appeared.

[The "Legends Between" settlement has been calculated]

[Reward 40: Attribute + points]

[Randomly assigned to "Strength"]

【Strength: 258】

Li Nuo moved his pupils and felt that it was okay... Anyway, the "Strength" value was the lowest, and the current attribute point growth feedback was not high, so it didn't matter who he was assigned to.

[Reward 2: Ticket for "Random Monster World"]

[Reward 3: Darkrai's skills (assigned according to player characteristics)]

[Can only be assigned to the killer: "Endless Corridor", Li Nuo (Player 5900)]

[Adaptive skills: Will-O-Wisp (used to scare people at night and burn people during the day)]

[This skill can be combined with a certain trait mastered by player 5900. Do you want to spend 3000 gold coins to combine it? ]

[Note that if you don't merge, player 5900 cannot currently master this skill because it requires the "fire attribute"]

Li Nuo said "hmm" in his heart.

He doesn't have elemental attributes, but he could have them, but he doesn't want them.

Elemental Attributes: Acquirer, the damage of this element increases by 10% and the consumption is reduced by 5%.

Every player can master at least two attributes, but the bonus of a single attribute is actually higher.

Li Nuo now has three attributes...

Blood quality.

flame.

light.

To put it bluntly, he was waiting for a wave of "darkness".

Seriously speaking, he was waiting for the "Mako" in his body to open up. In other words, whether the skills of the "Warrior of Light" would have any unexpected surprises, allowing him to choose attributes without hesitation.

For example, at level 80, the “Warrior of Light” is upgraded and learns the “Light Slash” skill.

is that useful?
Have.

easy to use?
hard to use.

But he still had some yearning for the attribute of "light". Judging from his purpose alone, he was actually wondering whether the attribute of "light" could neutralize his bad luck.

If he didn't consider the above improper things, he would have already locked on the blood attribute. [Already merged with the summoned creature "Cuihua"]

[“Cuihua” learns “Wisp”]

Li Nuo summoned Cuihua and showed an unhappy expression to the snoring flame: "I asked you to learn again, how can I raise the Gu?"

"No matter what, since you kidnapped me here, you have to take responsibility!" Cuihua stuck out her tongue at him and returned to his arms.

【Wizards】

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Learning conditions: Spiritual power 10, fire attribute]

[Effect: After being attacked, there is a 15% chance of releasing a stream of fire that can burn the surrounding area]

[Brief description: Release your flaming body and let the boys burn! Then the boys were burned to death]

Li Nuo frowned: "The biggest benefit of killing the priest is the increase in attribute values. Skills are completely dependent on luck."

In fact, the biggest benefit of each area should be the "main line" task.

For example, the rewards for driving away the black dragon are [Dragon Breaking Slash] and [Evil King Flame Killing Black Dragon Wave]. The value of these two rewards is definitely higher than liberating areas and killing priests.

In addition, the harvest between battles is currently the most abundant.

Li Nuo exchanged Boss Sakaki's trainer manual from the panel.

After shaking it twice in my hands, I put it away and looked at it later.

He looked at the chair next to him.

The sun is shining brightly at this moment.

The light shines into the car window and floats away.

Li Nuo released an upgraded version of [Wind-Cutting Blade] towards the chair beside him.

"Ola Ola Ola!"

Twenty-five consecutive punches instantly shattered the seat.

"hiss--"

He covered his right arm.

I felt like my arm muscles were tearing for a moment.

"Hidden negative effects..."

He stroked his chin, pondering in his mind.

I thought that this method might need to be improved to make it more convenient to use... This matter can only be resolved after I go back to Sauron and ask for it.

Little did they know, the passengers were already terrified.

Yajirobei reminded him: "Do you want to tell me what's going on now?"

Li Nuo: "Wait a moment, I'm thinking about something."

Next, you need to return to [between battles] as quickly as possible to act as a brush.

But it's easy to be a brush, and the intensity of [Between Battles] is indeed high.

The biggest problem is that the different "main quests" in each area will become the biggest obstacle for players.

Regarding the main mission of the area, the system will automatically determine it as the thing with the greatest threat in the area.

【Legends】is the black dragon.

[Between the battles] are the priest Gus and the general Shenshuiji.

Is there anything stronger?

Have.

For example, Majin Buu is hidden in [Between Legends].

[Between Battles] The strongest fighters are Jeffka the Clown, Armstrong, and the evil black magician who is harassing Amuro's team.

However, the most terrifying thing is not necessarily the one with the highest combat power, but rather the one with the highest malice and desire for destruction.

So, how to put the main task under control and buy yourself time to gain experience and skills is a technical job that requires careful consideration.

But none of the above is what Li Nuo wants to solve most.

His biggest headache now is: Where is my wife?
It's lost.

The tea was lost in vain!

Just when he finally figured out his dishonest sorceress, the system continued to make things difficult for him.

[Players please note: Since the final result of the theoretical reward for this "World War" has been taken away by a group of players, the reward will be recalculated]

[Main quest reward changes: The protagonist's help (crossed out) has been changed to a breakthrough in one's own abilities (being recalculated)]

Li Nuo stared blankly.

"I just asked Die and Rick to assassinate Pesca. I didn't do anything else. I don't even know who the protagonist of this world is."

He didn't know who took what was supposed to be the ultimate reward, but it certainly wasn't him.

Li Nuo underestimated himself.

That's what he did.

"Forget it, there are other rewards anyway."

Li Nuo's pupils looked up at the ceiling.

"Uh……"

What is the main quest?

He began to recall.

The main quest... seems to be the world war... It's over, I forgot the main quest, look at the panel, the main quest.

Li Nuo swiped the panel and found the main thread. He clapped his hands after seeing it, as happy as a high school student who just found out that one plus one equals two.

"Ah, yes, the wine of eternal life!"

So he became even more curious.

Why did the rewards suddenly change?

He had to ask himself that.

Dante was abducted by a handsome man, who can he blame?

Strictly speaking, they have stolen the final reward of the main quest, but the system cannot tell you, and Li Nuo and the others are unaware of it.

Come to think of it, Li Nuo doesn’t care what the main storyline is now.

This script is different from the previous ones. The players in each corridor are like they have a serious illness. No one wants to play the story. They are either traveling, wandering around, or killing monsters. Anyway, the guys who can stand at the top of the player flow have long passed the stage of being the system's dogs for the "main line". Of course, this also depends on how much the system gives.

When the goddess of luck lifts her skirt, believers will treat her in two different ways depending on whether she is topless or wearing leggings.

For example, this time, what the system gave was extremely vague, without even a pie in the sky. Who would care about you then?

Except for the Brump fans who chased Rick and his group and beat them up all day, the rest of the players were more neurotic, preferring to use courtesy first, force later, and then sneak attack. In addition, the rewards from the cult were too good, so why would players fight against other players? It was a world war, right? Let's compete peacefully.

The most important thing is that the most targeted [Corridor of Eternal Life] and the most insidious [Corridor of Death] were wiped out as soon as they came up.

This leaves only the three most nervous corridors.

The saintly Amuro, the playful idiot couple, and the trouble-making Li Nuo trio all got together.

There is also a [Glutton] who wanders around everywhere and no one knows what the big brother is doing.

In short, the main line of "Wine of Eternal Life" goes further and further.

Li Nuo's thoughts are also rough now.

What is the wine of immortality? Where is it? How do you get it? Who cares? We'll know everything after we blow up the car in an hour.

As for now?

Where is my wife!

The above is Li Nuo’s change of mentality within one minute.

If you turn the perspective to the forty-four passengers, you will understand how sick he is in the eyes of others.

Forty-four passengers, who had just experienced the horrific fantasy world of "Between Legends", came back leisurely. Although their butts were cold, the sun was warm outside the window. It should have been a good thing, but a big white dragon appeared on the opposite side.

People are used to staying in "Between Legends", and no one screams when they see a dragon.

Then they saw Yajirobei who looked like a savage again.

Ah, humans at least.

Finally, it’s Li Nuo.

Hey, this is good.

Then they saw that Li Nuo's expression went through confusion, shock, bewilderment, loss, numbness, he broke a chair with his bare hands, confusion again, and finally he thought of "where is my wife", he gritted his teeth and talked to himself during the whole time.

"I said... who are you, sir?"

Finally a woman mustered up the courage to stand up.

But the person she was asking was Yajirobei.

"Ask this bastard."

Yajirobei pointed at Li Nuo.

"Hey, Vegeta, speak up."

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Li Nuo looked at the other person unhappily, and the woman was frightened by the guy's ruffian look and shut her mouth.

Doulong tapped Li Nuo's shoulder.

To put it bluntly, this guy is also Li Nuo's Pokémon, and the two of them have a mutual understanding.

"Um...you mean, what's bothering me?"

Doulong nodded.

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "The tea is lost."

Doulong and Chabai have the best relationship, so it took out a black sword from the floor and was about to kill Li Nuo. The man and the dragon rolled into a ball in the narrow carriage.

Yajirobei, the most frivolous person in the original work, turned out to be the most trustworthy person in the eyes of the passengers.

"and many more……"

Li Nuo suppressed Doulong and was not in a hurry to take this guy back.

"Guys...I'm not a weirdo!"

Among the forty-four passengers, a woman in her sixties stood up.

Maybe this guy Li Nuo is naturally attractive to older people.

The old lady said, "I believe you."

Li Nuo: “Huh?”

Yajirobei: "Ah (You believe him)?"

Doulong sighed.

The old lady took out a white handkerchief, walked over, and without fear of the white fighting dragon, pulled Li Nuo out from under its crotch.

"Look at you kid."

The old lady wiped the mud and blood off his face.

"You look dishevelled, but your eyes are full of kindness. You saved us, right?"

Li Nuo wanted to cry.

Nor is it.

"Yes."

He answered firmly.

The white lady turned around and smiled at the remaining 43 passengers: "It can't be wrong, I have seen him, he defeated a group of bald heads who looked like mummies, just to protect us."

The bald head that looks like a mummy, the shadow elder.

Li Nuo nodded: "Ah..."

Yajirobei: "Hey...you are lying..."

Doulong slapped Yajirobei to the ground and signaled him to stop talking nonsense.

It has to be said that Doulong is following the old path of Chabai. Birds of a feather flock together. It is difficult to learn good things, but it is easy to learn bad things.

When these passengers faced Li Nuo again, their expressions had become much gentler.

Everybody was smiling at him.

Tell him from the bottom of your heart, thank you.

Li Nuo originally wanted to ask for something, but at this time, the voice-transmitting elf broke through the void and ran out.

"Um……"

Li Nuo caught the Voice Genie.

This elf has white hair and beautiful legs, which are tea white.

So, he was ecstatic in front of a group of passengers who had a good impression of him.

pinch.
