As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 520: Maljie has to kowtow to Li Nuo

【Speed ​​Pass】

[If you finish the script within five minutes after it starts, you can get the script reward]

[Only for scenarios with difficulty above lv80]

[Number of teams that have achieved this achievement in the past ten years: 12]

[Reward: Speedrun Trophy]

After the three came back from the train, Maljie was the first to come out holding a golden trophy, followed by Li Nuo and Cha Bai. With a few snapping sounds, colorful confetti fell from the sky.

Victor was repairing the [power armor of the YoRLea troops] with the mechanical lifeforms in the yard. When Victor saw this scene, he was stunned for the first time.

"What special conditions did you three trigger to be able to come back and get the things?"

Marjer raised the trophy above his head.

"Old Wei, take a picture for me."

Li Nuo and Cha Bai avoided him. They both didn't want to be on camera as it was embarrassing.

"Why did it end so suddenly?" Cha Bai was curious.

"Is there a possibility that the script we enter in the future is the first era of that script?" Li Nuo replied, and walked to the tombstone, squatted down, opened the mailbox, and checked a new letter.

【Unlock the achievement query】

All three of them can see this information.

[Queryer, player 5900, gold coin consumption 100]

[Speedrunning, perfectly killing the hidden BOSS, and perfectly completing half of the world's branch quests are the three conditions that players need to achieve success]

[Speed ​​Pass: Speed ​​Pass Trophy (market price 2 gold coins), Speed ​​Attribute Value Increase Card]

[Perfectly kill the hidden BOSS: take away one ability of the BOSS and force the player to use it]

[Perfectly complete half of the world's branches: 50 to 200 gold coins]

Li Nuo can only view information from the past ten years.

[Perfectly kill the hidden BOSS (kill without injury)]

[Achieved the team "Oh my God", "A player without a team"]

At first glance, the "Oh My God" team sounds strange. In fact, it is a small team in the guise of a guild.

There are seven people in the team. The name of the team is not well-known, but the name of the guild is well-known: Wrath of Bahamut.

But the most special one is actually that "player without a team".

There is such a group in every corridor. They have no fixed team and choose to work alone most of the time. Those who can reach level 80 or above in this state are all powerful or very unique players.

Cha Bai watched from the side and said, "The type of Xiao Wu."

Li Nuo nodded: "He hides well, lives long, and can fight naturally."

When Shao Hong detected the player data of the "Death Corridor", he gave information about thirty-one "super-standard" level players.

There is no specific definition of "extraordinary", and the gap in status, position and strength leads to different perspectives.

Among the 31 Chimera Ant players, in the eyes of Xiao Wu and his group, only Ryan and Dujuan were truly "super-standard" level. So in Wireless City, Jellal and Xiao Wu and others did not feel embarrassed because of the large number of enemies and their small number. What they saw was just a group of "roadblocks" that could be solved with all their strength and brains. But in the eyes of weaker or ordinary players, they saw a different scene.

There are players like Xiao Wu in every corridor, and there are also some in the "Endless Corridor". They may be the most interesting and terrifying hidden force.

Li Nuo continued to read.

[Half of the branches in the world have been perfectly completed]

【Achieved team "Dongzhou HW"】

Soran's team.

Only [Explorer] has the capital to achieve this.

Moreover, they have completed more than 50% of the branches around the world more than once, which also explains why the Cowherd Group is so rich.

Sauron always said that he made a lot of money by selling his props, but in fact he was very stingy when giving things to Li Nuo, and it was impossible for him to sell his props to others.

Li Nuo and Sauron are very similar in one aspect, they would rather let their meat rot in the pot than take it out and give it to others to eat. A well-fed man would steal your wife. This kind of thing happens all over the world, and we are not doing charity.

Only Maljie would send weapons to some players he knew before, but Ma Ge's approach was to use those players as leeks to experiment with his dangerous weapons.

Among the people sandwiched between them, only Chen Shou is the exception. Sometimes, Shou Ge doesn't know where his luck comes from. The legendary figures that everyone talks about are competing to give him equipment, and they are all tailor-made for him.

All I can say is that sometimes good people are rewarded.

Seeing this, Cha Bai suddenly remembered something.

"Sauron left me a message."

Li Nuo was startled for a moment, then picked up his cane.

"I'm going to challenge him one-on-one."

Soran stepped over him and talked to Cha Baidan. This matter was serious and he had to bleed with Soran.

"No."

Cha Bai immediately took his arm.

"He asked you for that bicycle, saying it was his first prop and had historical significance. You taking it away like I was giving my wife away."

The last sentence is Cha Bai’s own interpretation.

Li Nuo felt that the bicycle was very easy to use. It could ignore the height difference of terrain and had a cushion. Most importantly, it was really fast.

So he left a message for Soren: "Trade with your motorcycle, or I'll tear your bike apart."

Soran responded immediately: [I'll fuck you! ]

After Li Nuo and he had been arguing for half an hour, Cha Bai got fed up and smashed Li Nuo's tombstone with a hammer to stop him.

"..."

Li Nuo continued to read the achievement description.

One last speedrun left.

There are twelve teams of players who have achieved this achievement.

What caught Li Nuo's attention was a team called "I would rather die to see the sunrise."

This squad is the core team of a guild, which is as famous as the Wrath of Bahamut and is currently one of the two strongest guilds in the Endless Corridor: the Anti-Science Alliance.

Li Nuo and his team couldn't have much contact with those big guilds.

They are not of sufficient level.

Lillian was an exception. She allowed low-level players to contact her privately and lifted the system restrictions.

But the "Anti-Science Alliance" is a very exclusive guild. Legend has it that the strongest person in "Endless" - KING - is a member of that guild.

Over the past six months, Li Nuo has investigated a lot of intelligence.

Lillian once lost to that KING, and even she herself admitted that she just couldn't beat him. This incident led to the emergence of the third large guild in the "Endless Corridor" at that time.

Cha Bai: "That KING, could it be..."

Li Nuo: "That's the KING."

The king engine from "One Punch Man", KING.

But they really didn't know what was going on. Every guild had a way to hide its own information. A guild as large as the "Anti-Science Alliance" deliberately hid itself, which showed that they were a "casual player type" guild.

You never know when you might encounter it, and before that, Li Nuo wants to set his goal at level 99.

He expressed his thoughts to Cha Bai.

"Why don't you just say you want to continue ruining the script?" Cha Bai understood her man.

Li Nuo turned back and continued to lock the panel, saying calmly: "I will avoid danger."

Cha Bai smiled at his profile and said softly, "I'll do as you say."

"Captain Ma! Is it okay?" Li Nuo asked loudly.

"Okay." Maljie had no objection.

Everyone has goals they want to achieve in the future.

Soran wanted to be the strongest man and protect his male companions.

Nanami wants to live a good life in Basel.

Xiao Wu wants to earn money by betting on horses.

Adam Ireland wants to take over Ni Yuexing.

Amuro wants to save "The End".

Brother Shou wants to kill the leader of his design institute.

Maljie, he wants to find Shayu.

He will not break the twenty-year agreement, so before that, he and Li Nuo are tied together to become stronger until they can control their own destiny.

Level 99 is the player’s theoretical end point. By then, many secrets will be revealed, and you will know how to find that path.

Malj found a note in the speedrunner's trophy.

The note had the numbers of the three of them written on it, along with a description: [Speed ​​attribute enhancement card].

Among the player's speed attributes, reaction, which represents explosive power, is the largest factor, and strength and physique are also related to it.

Therefore, the bonus of this card is simple and crude and useless.

Reaction +2.

Li Nuo's current reaction value is 372, which is still a long way from the 500 value required to break through the attribute points.

He had been accumulating characteristic values ​​intentionally or unintentionally since the World War, so he had hardly used things like the [Upper Limit Factor] that consumed characteristic values ​​to temporarily break the upper limit.

The closest to the critical value of 500 is insight. His current insight is 463. If he works hard, he can get it done with one script.

But no more speedrunning.

……

This evening.

Li Nuo was the only one in the yard.

A few hours ago he went to the library on the upper floor of Basel to investigate something.

Black businessman.

The answer is that there is no record of this person.

So he went to find Amanda. Sister Gazi was in the big guild of Safa. The appearance of [Low Blood Man] aroused the vigilance of many players. He was like a bomb. In the eyes of others, his appearance brought blood and storm.

But sisters Gazi and Shuangfei are still quite kind.

Li Nuo wanted to know about the "black businessman".

Sister Safa has heard of that guy, but no one has seen him. It is said that players at level 99 can reveal things about the black businessmen.

Li Nuo fell silent after he came back.

He was thinking that the [memory fragments] he saw from the black businessman and the answer to fate that Cha Bai saw in the telephone booth both pointed to the same answer.

"Black businessman."

This made the sensitive Li Nuo very uneasy.

If you recall carefully, you will find that the "Eternal Life Train" has three colors.

1. Clear, which only appears during the return period, represents safety.

Second, when sunset and dusk enter the script, it means that risks are about to come.

3. Dark sky, danger is coming. Dark sky is the most complicated situation.

When the player was taking the lv25 assessment, Black Sky appeared, and then the devil Rudy appeared.

When they accidentally entered the "Border Prison" for the first time, it was dark outside.

The third time was when the black businessman appeared. At that time, not only was it dark outside, but the inside of the carriage was also dark.

The above clues came together into an answer in Li Nuo's mind.

"When it's dark, it means the train has arrived outside the corridor, which is the area of ​​the border prison or the world tree."

The black merchant said that he came from the World Tree.

Li Nuo attributed the imaginary enemy in his mind to the "World Tree". What on earth was that thing? He has not been able to get the answer from any channel so far, not even the [Explorer] Soran could get any information.

As players, they are restricted by level, and lv99 is almost the only answer.

Li Nuo sighed, he sat on the ground, supported his body with his arms, looked up at the starry sky with lazy eyes.

"Why don't we conquer the Endless Corridor?"

When he said this, Doulong's laughter (similar to heijiejie) came from behind him.

Li Nuo turned around and stared at his hateful Pokémon who was lying on the grass pretending to sleep with his dead fish eyes.

"If you want to be more motivated, you should evolve earlier, you piece of shit."

The fighting dragon raised its head, stretched out its claws, gave its owner the middle finger, and spat on the ground.

Li Nuo rushed over and gave Doulong a standard naked choke with lightning speed.

Before Cha Bai became good friends with him, he always used this trick to teach him what fighting skills are. Over time, Li Nuo became better than his master. He could even do a naked choke with a telephone pole, let alone a dragon fight.

The Trainer's Manual left by Boss Sakaki has this description: [If a Pokémon can evolve through intimacy, do not choose other evolution methods. The evolution of intimacy can stimulate the strongest bond between the owner and the Pokémon. If the personality of the owner and the Pokémon is similar, the answer after the evolution of intimacy will be even more surprising.]

But this pair is just weird, their personalities are similar, so it’s harder to foster intimacy.

Li Nuo looked at Doulong who was almost strangled to death by him, and felt a little emotional. It had only been a short time, and this kid's neck had become so thick.

Doulong felt that his neck was about to be broken by Li Nuo. Unable to bear it any longer, he returned to the Poké Ball.

"What a cold-blooded Pokémon! He didn't even bother to say hello before leaving..."

"If you don't leave now, I'll be strangled to death." Victor came out of the house.

"Old Wei..." Li Nuo turned around and looked at him while sitting on the ground, and said, "You're wearing sunglasses at night, are you blind?"

Lao Wei laughed: "You have such a big mouth."

Li Nuo: "Sorry, sometimes I can't help it..."

"Tell me, you look so worried as if you are constipated, what's on your mind?"

"Old Wei, your mouth is now as dirty as if it had been soaked in gutter oil."

"Birds of a feather flock together." Victor deliberately touched the frame of his sunglasses with his fingers. He and Malger had been together for too long, and had more or less been infected with some "middle school syndrome" fungi.

"I'm thinking about conquering the world." Li Nuo said frankly.

Victor thought the topic was too scary, so he left a comment: "Do what you can."

Li Nuo stood up, brushed off the dirt on his pants, walked into the house, and took out the [imaginary telephone booth's landline] from the cabinet.

"Hey, I want to be the strongest one in the Endless Corridor."

The phone ignored him.

So Li Nuo changed his statement.

"I want to be the strongest one."

After waiting a few seconds.

"bell--!"

Li Nuo didn't know how the phone call would fulfill his wish.

After waiting for a long time and seeing nothing special happen, he thought his wish was late, so he left the corridor angrily.

At home, Cha Bai was lying on the sofa. The lights in the room were off, and only the computer screen was on. The light cast the outlines of mountains and canyons on Cha Bai's body.

Li Nuo felt strange and asked, "Why do you look like you've been heartbroken?"

Cha Bai glanced at him complainingly and said, "I chopped the chopping board into pieces again..."

What I meant was that I didn't cook today.

They can go to the corridor to cook, but after eating, they will think about their desires. Lao Wei is alone in the empty room in the yard, which is not friendly to him.

So Li Nuo went to buy food and stopped by the supermarket to buy some daily necessities on the way.

On his way back, he took a shortcut, and then a robber appeared behind him...

"Brother...what era are we in now? There are cameras everywhere."

Li Nuo felt particularly helpless.

The robber's big brother held a white knife against Li Nuo's lower back.

The eldest brother said: "I have failed in life and want to take revenge on society. To put it simply, I want to kill a few people."

Li Nuo asked: "Why did you choose me?"

The eldest brother said, "I don't know why, but I get angry just by looking at you."

Li Nuo thought this reason made sense, so he slapped his elder brother to the ground.

Li Nuo tried to control the force, trying not to hit the man's head off, but the elder brother still spat out a mouthful of teeth, with blood hanging from his mouth, and stared at Li Nuo with strange eyes.

"Brother... I didn't realize you were a martial artist."

"Fortunately...Brother, you're thick-skinned enough to not be beaten to death." Li Nuo said modestly.

The eldest brother said solemnly: "I have practiced before, and I thought I was the best. I didn't expect that there are people who are better than you in this old community. You are the strongest one."

When Li Nuo heard "You are the strongest one", he suddenly had an epiphany...

After knocking his eldest brother unconscious, he went home to deliver food, then returned to the "corridor" and looked at the phone on the table. He finally understood what was going on.

Although the telephone in the telephone booth was repaired by Doraemon, it was not completely repaired and it could only fulfill the outline of a wish.

If this wish is only for oneself, the way to achieve it will be more abstract.

Referring to Cha Bai’s approach, if you include others in your wishes, the possibility of their realization will be higher.

But Li Nuo couldn't use Cha Bai's method. He was not a [Focuser], and the backlash caused by any carelessness in the process of fulfilling his wish would be too severe.

Simply put, the desire for “greatness” cannot be realized.

Victor had been in the next room. He leaned against the door frame and said, "When Doraemon was repairing it, he said that the effect would decrease after each use until it was completely repaired."

Li Nuo complained: "If you had told me earlier, the big brother who kidnapped me wouldn't have been beaten up."

Lao Wei said, "Because you can handle anything, right?"

"If that were the case, some people would not have died." Li Nuo said this in a low voice, but it still reached Victor's ears.

"You can fulfill a small wish, such as having a good meal next time..."

Li Nuo lowered his head, closed his eyes, and supported his forehead with both hands: "Let me think about it."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Victor closed the door and continued his research.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When Li Nuo had little time left in the corridor, he picked up the phone.

"Help Maljie fulfill the twenty-year agreement with Suna."

A few seconds later.

"bell--!"

The phone rang.

……

Sunaba was walking in a quiet alley, a dark corner near the school.

Many female students don’t dare to walk here alone, and even boys avoid this place.

But Sha Yu didn't care. How could a killer walking in the dark be afraid of a dark alley that was nothing but a child's?

Even if there were a few malicious hooligans staring at her on the side of the road, the cold murderous intent in those red eyes would be enough to scare people away.

The girl held a book in her hands, her brows furrowed with worry.

Sunaba is worried about one thing.

If Maljie comes back, will he not be able to find her?

Of course, she could move back to the old house after graduation, but people have to work and it is impossible for them to stay in a house 24 hours a day.

She walked out of the alley slowly and stopped in a brightly lit area. A gust of cold wind blew past a poster.

Sunaba instinctively held the poster with her free fingers, just as skillfully as she had held a knife before.

This is a poster for a newly opened cafe.

——"New opening promotion, first floor of the old building on No. 2 Street."

At this moment, Shayu suddenly thought of something.

"By the way...there's a cafe downstairs from my house."

Her eyes flickered.

Made up my mind.

I'll buy that cafe when I get back.

Then, Maljer wouldn't have trouble finding his way home.

In fact, at this time, Sawa, who was in a foreign country, did not know that the cafe downstairs from her house had closed down.

If it weren't for this poster, if Shayu wasn't thinking about this matter, who knows when she would have thought of the answer above.

Maybe this is an answer that was bound to come about sooner or later, but it was brought forward because of an "accident".

It is also possible that if it hadn't been for this accident, Sawa's life would have been different, such as dying accidentally one day.

……

Li Nuo frowned slightly.

The phone is smoking.

After all, this broken phone hasn't been repaired yet, so it's a good thing that it didn't explode when I used it.

Li Nuo stared blankly, he couldn't tell whether it was achieved or not. Anyway, compared to conquering the world, such a trivial matter as lovers finally getting married was not worth mentioning, it should be possible to achieve it.

"Maybe……"

A month later.

[Players please get on board]

"Why did this mission come so quickly..."

Li Nuo leaned listlessly against the back of the chair, holding the coffin-like [weapon box].

The train arrived at the station soon, and this time it was still not the "Border Prison" scenario.

Maljie specifically reminded them before getting off the car.

"Don't speed through!"
