As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 523 This Robot is Valuable
Ever since Nanami was almost tricked into losing her job by Li Nuo in the last script, she has become more cautious.

Whenever Li Nuo and the others went to discuss the script, she would ask the company for one or two days off.

This matter will be useless no matter who disagrees.

Because Nanami could never guess when Mr. Li would trick her.

So when she emerged from the egg, she was not angry at all, but was happy with her own cleverness.

However, it is impossible that Li Nuo brought her out just to see Nanami break down.

Because there are demons.

Nanami: "Li Nuo...you are so annoying."

Li Nuo: "Thank you for your help~"

The moment he finished speaking, his silver pupils dilated.

"Invisible, up there."

boom--!
As soon as the voice fell, the position where the robot and Malger were was pressed down by a huge force.

The invisible creature was knocked away by Nanami with a stick before it could touch the robot.

Accompanied by the rising smoke and dust, the bark and leaves of large areas of trees were blown away.

Li Nuo started one step ahead. He locked onto the position of the transparent demon through the incredible perception of "Hunter" and "Great Sword Demon Eye".

[Seal of Arden] A purple magical light spot emerged from under his feet, and when he looked down at his face, the invisible creature had nowhere to hide, and its invisibility was completely broken by the seal.

A cat-like creature about two meters tall, with black fur all over its body, and no flesh on the upper half of its face, revealing pale eye sockets with two balls of pale green flames emitting a ferocious light.

Its white teeth emitted corrosive heat.

【Catomata】

[Danger Level: B-]

[Attribute: Poison]

The mask quickly skipped through its data.

It is a cat-like creature with a corrosive poison and sharp claws that can tear apart rocks on the ground.

Has a special hatred for dogs.

"No wonder you want to do Maljie..."

The cat seized the opportunity and bit Li Nuo's neck with its smelly teeth.

The green light of [Seal of Axi] popped out from Li Nuo's eyes.

The cat was hypnotized again and bit its own claws. The severe pain woke it up. When it regained consciousness, it saw a long stick standing up not far away as if it was about to pierce the sky.

Nanami stood on the stick, about thirty meters off the ground.

【Stand up the stick】.

Nanami doesn’t have any monkey tricks, but she is the most like a monkey.

A thirty-meter-long stick rolled across the sky and chopped down. Li Nuo dodged sideways and was brushed by the wind from the stick. The cat in front of him had its skull shattered again.

Nanami jumped down from the air, and held the long stick that had returned to its normal size in front of her, with black blood flowing from the tip of the stick.

The base of her palm, where she had just chopped with the stick, felt slightly numb.

"This beast is quite powerful..."

[Jane Grien: lv81]

【Strength: 330】

[Reaction: 390]

[Spiritual power: 260]

[Physique: 320]

【Insight: 320】

【Medical: 320】

Nanami's stats are perfect, and [Realm of Reason] can raise her stats to a higher level. It is not difficult to kill a B-level monster and smash it into pieces with a full-strength attack, but the cat only broke its head, and she was hit by the reaction force, and her knuckles were in pain.

"It's a serious border prison difficulty."

Nanami walked behind Li Nuo.

"is not that right."

Li Nuo got some minced meat from the cat as a medicine inducer, then stood up and looked around.

The trees were hit and only lost a layer of bark, but the trunks were not broken.

The hardness of the world is extremely high. A creature like Nekomata would be a local bully in "Creation Mountain", but here he might just be an ordinary, slightly stronger monster.

"I heard from Wenk that only a few players can access the 'Border Prison' difficulty scenario. As a black marketeer who buys things from players, he can't find a way to connect with this world."

"Nanami, I have something to do..."

Before Li Nuo finished speaking, Cha Bai came over from behind.

They turned around and saw Chabai holding Maljie in one hand and the robot in the other.

"This robot has a branch line."

Cha Bai took off his glasses. They had prescription glasses and it hurt his eyes after wearing them for a long time.

Nanami looks at Maljie who has turned into a dog.

He squinted his eyes.

"What curse has come upon you again?"

Malger has a reminder panel of the same guild on him.

Cha Bai said: "He was completely turned into a dog and there was no way he could recover before the end of the script."

The "vicious punishment" brought by the previous script turned him into a dog.

Ma Ge pointed his dog paw at the robot, then pointed at the dead Nekomata on the other side, and said, "Woof."

Li Nuo translated: "The cat wanted to eat you again, and then the robot came out to save you."

The data about the cat detected by the mask showed that it hated dogs.

Maljie stood up on his hind legs. He was only about 1.2 meters tall, about the same height as Conan. Then he looked like an upright ape, with one hand resting on the tree trunk next to him and the other hand giving a thumbs up.

This guy's panel popped out.

【Player 5899】

[Because of "vicious punishment", he turned into a dog]

[After this scenario ends, if you are still alive, you can acquire the skill "Turn into a Dog"]

Maljie's abilities are almost useless.

Summon mechanical life forms, gone, [shit blocks], gone.

His white coat turned into white fluff, and props, weapons and other things were taken out of his mouth.

In addition, there are two new abilities that can be used in dog form.

[Dog's sense of smell, pee marking]

The former is similar to a demon hunter's nose.

The latter can be used to attract female dogs.

"So this time we have to take a pet dog on an adventure." Chabai squatted behind Maljie and pulled out a piece of grass to tease him.

Ma Ge took a cigarette out of his mouth and put it between his lips. Cha Bai skillfully helped him light it using fire magic.

He blew a smoke ring out of his dog's mouth and pointed at the robot lying on the grass.

"Wang."

Nanami guessed with a hollow look in her eyes: "You don't want to break it down, do you?"

Li Nuo translated: "Lao Ma meant that it saved Lao Ma, and Lao Ma also wanted to save it. If it doesn't delay the main plot, should we consider what we should do now? He knew that the main plot was to go to the mayor's house, but since there was no mandatory time, it didn't matter if we went there at night, so we could sort out the things nearby. He believed that there was no smoke without fire, and since the robot came out to save him, there must be other meanings."

Nanami was stunned at first, then her eyes widened: "No...Did Malger say that much!?"

Maljie nodded: "Woof."

Li Nuo translated: "He said, that's all. In addition, the [Rescuer] can still be used, but we have to think about whether to use the [Rescuer]. After using that thing, he can't recover blood. As a dog, he is in a dilemma."

Nanami didn't know how to complain anymore.

Cha Bai reminded her: "The tacit understanding between these two people is very strange, we should just get used to it."

Then Chabai and Maljie lifted the robot and leaned it against the tree.

Only then could they all see that there was a hole in the robot's abdomen, and all the electronic devices inside had been burned by the cat's corrosive venom.

[Tactical Goggles] show that the robot only has 10 HP left, and a blow to the head would kill it.

Maljie took out a strange detector from his mouth, named [Robot Cooling Syringe (a prop that restores the robot's blood)].

He held up the thing that looked like an injection with his dog's paw and said, "Woof."

Li Nuo translated: "What he meant was that this guy is dying, but..."

Nanami: "Don't translate, I'm not interested..."

She had a feeling that Maljie was just saying "Wang" casually, and Li Nuo was actually adding a story to his "Wang".

"You seem to have become shorter..." Nanami frowned.

Due to malnutrition and poor development, Nanami, a Caucasian, is less than 1.6 meters tall, a disgrace to her race.

When she was a human pig, she got herself a pair of long mechanical legs. Later, after her flesh and blood returned, they became short and slender again. Now looking at him again, Li Nuo is only half a head taller than her. She is very happy.

"Wow, Shota."

Li Nuo: "Nanami, I asked you to come here for something."

"You're changing the subject so abruptly." Nanami paused and said, "If you have anything to fart, do it now."

"Is this the world of 'Legend of Heroes'?" Li Nuo asked.

The world introduction shows the existence of "guided technology", which is somewhat similar to the setting of "The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky".

Li Nuo asked Nanami to beat Nekomata, in order to let her try out the feel of his hand.

"No."

Nanami was straightforward.

"It's much better than that world."

She can also see the world profile.

"Moreover, Orbital Magic or Orbital Technology exists in many worlds. In short, it is a scientific magic prop that allows people without magic to use magic."

While speaking, Nanami demonstrated the guide device hidden in the mechanical arm. At first glance, it looked like a watch embedded in the arm, with an ochre bead on it.

After activating the orb magic, a rock poked out from the soil beneath her feet. This was orb magic.

Something that exists in many worlds.

"In that case..." Li Nuo said the second thing that needed Nanami's help: "Can you still go back to the real world?"

"Ah."

"Come to my house..."

"Wait!" Nanami was shocked: "Brother, from our country to your country we need to take a plane!"

"Why don't you just rob some money?" Li Nuo said something right. Nanami's country was in dire straits, so robbing a bank was no big deal.

Brother Wells once said that he had worked with Nanami in real life. This girl had no hands at the time, and she bit people's aortas with her teeth. Wells was so scared that he dared not work with her again.

“Go on…” Nanami felt that something bad was going to happen.

"You should know my home address. Go to my house and open my computer. There are manuscripts saved in a folder called '表丨番合集' on the D drive. It's about a month's worth. Send them all to a woman named Julie."

What Li Nuo cares most about is not what to do with the script.

But what about comics.

In order to prevent the script from being too long and affecting the comics, he deliberately saved the draft.

"In other words, you don't need my help with this script."

Nanami was very happy.

She still has a job, so even if Li Nuo and the others beg her to stay, she will say it is difficult for her to stay. This is called tsundere who has retired from the environment.

[Nanami's Magic Potion] does not pull the player into the script, but brings the player in as a summoned beast. Li Nuo can cancel the connection with Nanami at any time and let her leave.

But the CD time of this potion is as long as one month.

"Go back to our courtyard. In my alchemy pharmacy, there are several bottles of potions called [Nanami's Potion]. Find them and take them with you. Next time we look for you as a 'guild partner', you can bring them to us."

"Does this count as me coming here with a contract to sell myself to you?" Nanami's sarcasm is still not as sharp as that of Shou Ge.

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "When Shou Ge complains, at least put a '!' in it."

"I won't complain... Anyway, if there's no other question, I'll leave. There's a ribbon-cutting ceremony this afternoon." She glanced at Maljie who had turned into a dog and told Li Nuo, "Don't eat it."

Maljie felt a chill down his spine. He had never thought that Li Nuo would eat him, but when he thought about it carefully, Li Nuo might really eat him. In fact, Li Nuo did intend to keep him as a backup food.

"Wait a minute." This time it was Chabai who called Nanami.

"When you go to get the potion, check my email. I have already given the permissions to the people in my own guild."

"Mail?"

"Well, go find a couple named Etta and Pippen in the Sky Corridor. If possible, try to bring them here next time you come." Cha Bai said.

"Well, okay..." Nanami: "I'm leaving."

Li Nuo cancelled the connection with Nanami and teleported her back to the "Endless Corridor".

"Why contact that idiot couple?" Li Nuo asked. "Isn't there a sentence like this in the world introduction..." Cha Bai opened the introduction panel and pointed to a paragraph and read: "The red-haired adventurer."

"Adol?"

(Note: The male protagonist of "Ys")

"I saw a red-haired back on Pippen during 'War of the Worlds'."

Cha Bai recalled that scene.

"If Pippen and Atreus are related, maybe the world is related to them as a couple."

Li Nuo was a little curious, if Pippen was Atlu, then Etta was Dana, Fina, or Doki?

"If Etta wasn't Fina, I'd tear Pippen apart."

Cha Bai glanced at him. Li Nuo was a die-hard fan of "Ys 2".

Click...

The robot that had rescued Malger moved.

"I……"

The robot saw Maljer's dog face.

Then a strange laugh broke out.

"You're not dead, how lucky you are."

"Wang."

What Maljie meant was, wherever your home is, we will tear it down for you.

……

At this moment, in the town.

Every three years the town selects a group of talented children to serve as pilgrims.

Today is the day to receive the test questions for the “Pilgrim” selection.

Mayor Papagus was sitting on a wooden box. She was an old lady in her seventies with a pair of dog-like ears.

There are three main types of intelligent creatures in this world: humans, orcs, and monsters.

Human beings are, as the name suggests, human beings.

Orcs, the majority of humans have animalistic features, and a few are purely beastly humans, such as standing werewolves.

The last type of monsters are humans who can transform into monsters. They are rare in number, are hostile to others, and rarely appear in densely populated areas.

At this moment, the mayor looked around at the children gathered in a circle in front of her, and she always felt that something was missing.

"Is there anyone missing?"

The mayor flipped through the booklet in his hand.

Filter the names one by one.

After reading it all over again, she realized that someone was missing.

"Li Nuo and Cha Bai..."

The mayor tried hard to recall the misdeeds of these two men.

When players are inserted into this world, an identity will be automatically generated in the minds of the natives, replacing the original character who may have died.

The mayor thought of the appearance of Li Nuo and Cha Bai, and clenched his fists with gritted teeth.

"Why am I not impressed by them but I just think they are unreliable..."

The mayor sighed, raised her head and looked at the group of children surrounding her.

There were a few pairs of eyes that made her feel very uncomfortable.

Hope, Bai Ke, You Xi, and the four players around them had a ruthlessness in their eyes that was different from that of the others.

The mayor felt that they were strange.

"Too much violence."

As soon as she finished speaking, her ears moved with the wind, and terrifying magic power came like a meteorite.

Hope moved his fingers imperceptibly, collecting the attribute values ​​of all his teammates. A female player behind him silently chanted a spell in her heart, and the indelible smell of blood on the players' bodies instantly disappeared.

As a player, you will consider how to eliminate the suspicion of the natives in the current situation. Such skills of reducing values ​​or driving away murderous intent are always available.

Mayor Papagus narrowed his eyes and did not pursue the matter any further.

"Excluding the two losers who didn't come, the twenty-four of you are the group of little brats who want to become pilgrims."

The mayor paused, his lips curled up.

"From now on, keep your ears open. I'm about to announce the exam questions for the Pilgrim."

As Hope and the others listened, they saw the task panel pop up.

[Main mission update]

【Pilgrim】

The so-called pilgrims are an organization that helps state agencies. The pilgrims organization, with the primary purpose of protecting civilians and maintaining regional peace, dispatches pilgrims to carry out tasks such as destroying monsters and preventing crimes. One of its principles is not to interfere with state power, so the organization has branches all over the mainland.

However, if we remove the above-mentioned beautified rhetoric, the so-called pilgrims are actually a group of mercenaries.

The mayor of the town of Haligu, Papagus, is a retired pilgrim. Her job is to train new pilgrims, so most of the residents in the town are outsiders and orphans.

There are currently more than 300 pilgrims in the Obsidian Kingdom. Those who want to become regular pilgrims need to take a test.

【Exam Questions Announced】

[As an intern, I traveled to seven cities in the country, leaving my footprints in each city while helping the residents there solve some problems]

[From finding cats and dogs to repelling monsters, any task is possible]

[The difficulty of the completed task determines the pilgrim's score. The one with the highest score will be the first in the scenario.]

[Main Mission: Pilgrimage to the Continent]

[Task details: This scenario is a team competition. The winner will be determined by the score of the two teams at the end of the tour of the "Endless Corridor"]

[Mission requirements: Remember the pilgrim's instructions. Do not attack your competitors directly, and do not harm your competitors during the journey.]

[Mission Penalty: All gold coins will be deducted from the loser group. At the beginning of the next scenario, all players in the loser group will have two of their limbs eliminated.]

Li Nuo looked at the task panel and felt a little happy.

The penalty for failure is not high and acceptable.

This is what he thinks now.

The main quest tour is nothing more than going to various cities to get bounty quests from the officials, and then seeing how to trigger deeper quests to do. The means of completion seem to be rich, but in fact there are great restrictions. With the national officials blocking the way, there is no way to explore a deeper worldview.

The hidden world line that Cha Bai saw with his glasses indicated that if he wanted to explore something deeper, he had to go against the main line.

The special feature of the Border Prison script is that the rewards are extremely high. Li Nuo's history of making a fortune did not start from the right path, and now he has no plans to follow the right path.

He turned his head.

Behind him was the robot's cabin, and Cha Bai was holding a stack of books outside the cabin.

"The book contains the history of the Obsidian Kingdom, but I don't think it's useful."

Cha Bai placed the book neatly on the table outside the house.

Then she picked up another book.

“This is an interesting book.”

"Guided Power Technology", all the techniques on how to use magic to infuse weapons are in this book. It looks like a book for craftsmen, but it is actually for magicians.

"The magicians in this world are called Magisters. They prefer to use magic to increase their strength rather than using magic elements."

Cha Bai turned to one of the pages and saw a photo of a "crystal" on it.

"Perhaps this thing can directly enhance our abilities."

Li Nuo took a few glances. He missed the era before level 25, when a panel would pop up with just a glance. Now that data is becoming less and less powerful, he can only rely on his own knowledge and analysis.

What Cha Bai said should be correct. The crystal stone seems to be related to crystal magic according to the description, or in other words, it represents the energy system of the higher-dimensional world.

"Li Nuo... this world is interesting."

Cha Bai's eyes were full of anticipation.

Li Nuo passed her shoulder and pushed open the door of the robot cabin.

The sunlight shines into the house as the door opens.

Maljie was arranging the instruments in the room in the posture of a dog. There were a large number of mechanical parts here, which were used by this robot to repair itself.

At this moment, the robot was lying on a small bed in the room, shaking all over.

Its mechanical structure is not powered by electricity, but by magic.

[Jimmy No. 70: lv]

【Strength: 99】

[Reaction: 99]

[Spiritual power: 99]

[Physique: 282]

【Insight: 81】

【Medical: 56】

[Memory fragment: A hundred years ago, he was a researcher of Orion Technology. He placed his soul in a "crystal" and made himself into a robot to maintain immortality. However, his memory has problems and he can't remember why he wants immortality.]

[My name is Jimmy... Actually, I don’t think my name is Jimmy]

[What am I going to do...]

[Ah, yes, I want to protect the beautiful scenery I can see]

……

The memory the mask read came when it met Malger.

……

[I used to have a little white dog. It stayed with me for 18 years and was finally buried.]

[When I saw the dog being targeted by the cat, I wanted to run, but I suppressed my fear and saved him...]

[Damn it, but it doesn’t matter. My core system is about to fail anyway.]

……

Maljie sorted out a lot of things from the table, but didn't know what to do with them.

At this time, the robot Jimmy No. 1 looked at him and said, "This is the first time I've seen a dog so agile..."

Maljie's eyes wrinkled: "Woof."

It means don't talk.

Jimmy No. 1 said, "Don't worry about me. My core system is broken. It broke before I rescued you. I will break down in another month."

"Want to survive?" Li Nuo walked in and said cheerfully, "Grow flowers."

Silver eyes looked at the white flowers placed under the windowsill.

"How can something that loves life not want to live?"

“I don’t even know why I’m alive.”

"Then survive first."

Li Nuo picked up Maljie, held his tail and hung him upside down.

"If you want to survive, just tell this dog brother your request."

The robot was silent.

"You can't think I'm retarded just because I'm a guided robot, right?"

Cha Bai couldn't stand it anymore, so he came in with a hammer and said, "If you don't tell me, I'll burn all your books."

There are hundreds of books here, and book lovers will put the value of books above their lives.

"I, I said..."

"Then hurry up." Cha Bai was impatient. She hated pretentious guys, just like Li Nuo who was afraid to confess to her.

"I..." The robot looked at Malger's dog face and said, "I, I..." It paused and asked, "Are you sure you want me to ask a favor of a dog?"

Cha Bai snapped his fingers, and the flames on his fingers danced: "Book."

Robot: "Please let me live!"

Malger snapped his fingers while hanging upside down.

[Team Title: Dangerous Agents]

[We have accepted the commission of Robot Jimmy No. 1]

[Self-generated side quests]

Save Jimmy's Life

[Task Difficulty: lv150]

[Task Reward: 1000000 experience points, and everything gained during the journey]

Li Nuo loosened his grip and Maljie fell and hit the rough floor.

He turned around and looked at Cha Bai in a daze. Cha Bai also looked at him in disbelief.

"One million...experience points?"
