As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 528 So I still have to challenge eight gyms
"If the difference between your level and the player is no more than ten levels, you can complete it alone. If the difference is between ten and twenty levels, it is difficult to complete it alone. If you go higher, you need the support of a team. After that, everything depends on your luck..."

Li Nuo murmured.

Ting looked at him curiously: "What are you talking about?"

"What am I talking about..." Li Nuo was still mumbling: "I'm talking about the criteria for judging the difficulty of the task..."

Brother Ting looked at the difficulty reduction level on the panel and said, "Your companion has a skill that suppresses power, right? If that's the case... the system should have determined that the difficulty has been reduced after she released her power."

"How can it be……"

Li Nuo's eyes were tense and blood vessels were surging at the corners of his eyes.

"This is a fucking Border Prison script!"

[Magic Suppression] is released, magic factors seep out of Li Nuo's pores, and blue flames rise into the sky!

"Chabai!"

"Ah?" Cha Bai heard Li Nuo's cry, and when his pupils moved to the side, he caught a glimpse of a shocking scene.

There is a ghost in the woods.

Much like the Mist Wraith.

She suddenly understood one thing: the system panel or one of the players was affected by something in the forest, and thus saw the illusion that the difficulty of the task was reduced.

at the same time,

The giant monster that the lighthouse transformed into rolled up trees all around, blocking out the moonlight. The underground vines that rose from the ground overlapped layer by layer, quickly forming a high wall to separate Cha Bai from everyone else.

All this happened in less than a second.

Cha Bai felt a strong palpitation.

When she tried to move just now, she found that she couldn't move.

Her pupils could still move, and out of the corner of her eye she saw stone-like cracks on her lower body.

Sweat broke out on her forehead as she thought of something bad.

Warlock magic, crystal magic, no matter what kind of magic book, there is a special form of magic, or rather, it is not called magic, but superpower.

Being able to directly penetrate the human body and control thoughts without interacting with any magic is a kind of superpower.

Just like when Miss Tiger Eye used her superpowers to control Lillian from a distance through the camera.

Cha Bai only found out about this thing later.

[Superpower: Petrification]

From the window of the lighthouse, a beautiful figure was staring at her.

The woman's body was translucent, her soft long golden hair fluttering in the wind, her slender fingers pressed on the glass, drawing a circle around the tea-white color.

"Imprison and crush."

……

Pilgrim's town.

Mayor Papagus was sitting at his desk, looking at a commemorative photo album.

The oil lamp on the table illuminates a page in the album.

In the photo, a man with long black hair is holding a photo and showing off his lover to his friends.

Papagus's memories go back seventy years.

In order to defeat the evil, she and Jimmy No. 1, who was still a human, visited a girl with super powers. They hoped that the girl could go with them as a companion, but the girl's lover ended up leaving the forest instead of her.

Papagus still remembers the reason why the man left.

——"If the war comes, none of us can stay out of it. As a woman, you should wait for me to come back home."

The old mayor Papagus took off his glasses and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.

Later the man died.

Young Papagus took the man's belongings back. The girl was not angry, sad, or complaining. She just kept her lover's belongings silently.

This includes the gear that can save Jimmy No. 1.

As time passed, the girl died of old age.

And that forest became the Misty Forest today.

The girl never left her name, so everyone called her "Mystery".

Papagus closed the album and glanced back at the map of the continent hanging on the wall.

"If I'm not mistaken... the first stop of the gear is the Misty Forest. Those two brats will be beaten up by 'Mystery' and then sent back."

Thinking of this, she picked up the phone and asked the nurse on night watch in the town to prepare healing medicine.

……

【Task Update】

[The lover of the Brave Warrior, a girl with super powers who lives in the depths of the forest. She lives in seclusion here because she is not accepted by the secular world. Seventy-five years ago, a boy who called himself "The Brave Warrior" mistakenly entered the forest, and the budding love between the boy and the girl blossomed...]

[The boy died]

[The girl is waiting for him]

[Seventy years later, the forest has turned into mist, the living have turned into corpses, but we are still waiting]

The ghost of the girl was drawn in a circle on the window, and the leaves and vines of the forest wrapped the white-haired girl inside, tightening continuously.

[Her name is "Mystery"]

【Master of the Misty Forest】

[She still misses the days and nights when the boy protected her behind his back]

The girl behind the window clenched her right hand fingers.

A small piece of the rock and vines that wrapped around the white-haired girl outside the window fell off, revealing a gap.

"asshole……"

The girl's ears moved: "?"

Inside the dense tea-white vines, the light of silver pupils pierced through the darkness!
The "mystery" who was originally a ghost subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

The tea-white vines were knocked away by the blue flames, and the blue fire wrapped the vines and instantly enveloped the entire lighthouse.

The blue flames blocked Mi's vision. Through the translucent light of the flames, she vaguely saw the scene of Li Nuo holding Cha Bai in his arms.

puzzle:"……!?"

She felt that this scene was familiar, especially when she saw the smile on Cha Bai's face.

"I can't bear the pain if you don't come." Cha Baiqian looked at him with a smile, full of joy.

"I have no choice in this matter." Li Nuo twisted off the hanging [Cross of Holy Light] with one hand and shouted, "Do it!"

Li Nuo held Cha Bai's hand and moved his fingers. The magic factor formed a special flame, which was constructed into [Eight Wine Glasses] and poured into the fire of the burning lighthouse. The mysterious lighthouse monster was fixed by the flame.

The white light of the holy light and the [Seal of Arden] imprinted in the demon hunter's pupils combined to pierce the lighthouse and the mystery in the window.

Brother Ting felt that he shouldn't just stand there and watch, so he made a gesture to hold the moon. When he clenched his five fingers and completely held the moon, the moonlight seemed to disappear. The skill [Moon Explosion] can only be used at night, which will temporarily blind the target (about 5 seconds).

in the dark.

Mi smiled indifferently. Seventy-five years ago, he first met the boy who called himself "the brave warrior of a hundred battles". The unromantic monster attacked Mi secretly, but the boy protected him under him.

"..."

Anyone hit by eight wine glasses will stop sensing time and their consciousness will become blank for a certain period of time.

Li Nuo once tried this move with Malge, Xiao Wu and Nanami. [Eight Cups] can only freeze a target with high magic resistance for two seconds at most.

Two seconds is enough time to do a lot of things.

For example, Chabai has already rushed into the sky, stepped on the roof of the lighthouse with his heels and leaped into the night sky, the current gushed between his thighs, and he raised his hands to the enlarged hammer, and the mechanical arm's [Nero Bullet, Powerful Charge] gushed power, [Ghost Back] was activated, [Dominus's Mark: Toguro's Brother] muscle amplification, charging! The heavy hammer smashed down!

When the hammer is only half a meter away from the lighthouse...

[Side quest completed: The girl's hundred-year wait]

Cha Bai: “Huh?”

The lighthouse fell down along with the tree it had rolled up. Cha Bai couldn't hold back his strength and smashed the fallen tree with a hammer. Ripples echoed in the air, and then wood chips flew everywhere like a rainstorm.

She dug herself out from the rubble: "What happened...ah..."

Cha Baiju was unhappy. She wanted to use all her enhanced skills to launch a massive burst of heavy attacks to verify the strength of her full-strength attack, or in other words, whether she could still fight against the Bianyu scenario.

However, the lighthouse did not give face.

It collapsed on its own.

Fortunately, the reward is still there.

Li Nuo dug out a treasure chest from the ruins, which was something that had not been there before.

“Could it be a treasure chest monster?”

Thinking of this, he used [Wind-Cutting Blade] on the lid of the treasure chest.

Brother Ting at the back was stunned. It was the first time he saw someone using a skill on a treasure chest without any magical energy.

Malger explained: "Woof."

Meaning: From the panel fraud, we can see that past experience is useless in the Border Prison script, so his approach is cautious.

Brother Ting thought the dog was hungry, so he picked up a branch from the ground and stuffed it into Brother Ma's mouth.

[Task Reward: Experience Points 25000 (Focused Blessing)]

Cha Bai touched the corners of his eyes, released the magic of crying, shed a few tears, and turned off the [Focus].

She stood up and walked to Li Nuo, looking inside the treasure chest with him.

There are piles of photos in the box.

[The guardian of the misty forest, the most cherished treasure of the super girl "Mystery"]

Li Nuo picked up the photo and looked at it. As he looked at it, he and Cha Bai squinted their eyes.

"This woman's most cherished photo is actually her bed photo..."

He bundled the photos and stuffed them into his waist bag.

Cha Bai squatted down and took out a pile of daily necessities from the bottom of the treasure chest. These things were proof that the super girl and her lover were alive.

She sighed: "It's true that a plain and simple life is what life is like."

[Focuser has been turned on]

She touched her eyes and tears came out.

【Focus is closed】

Brother Ting was still watching, and he felt that this beautiful girl had some problems in her brain. Why was she always crying?

"found it."

While Cha Bai was crying, Li Nuo took out the [Ancient Mechanical Gear] from the bottom layer of the treasure chest.

This thing at least has a panel.

[Dangerous Agent Side Quest Update]

Save Jimmy's Life

[Mission Update: One gear has been found, and there are four more]

At this moment, Cha Bai noticed a strand of translucent golden hair floating down from Li Nuo's shoulder.

The hair suddenly came to life and under the moonlight and darkness, it transformed into words that they could understand, clearly imprinted on everyone's retina.

——"There were seven warriors who fought against the evil demons. This gear was found in the evil demons' fortress. It is said to be a relic from an even more distant era. It may be dangerous, so I advise you not to take it."

Flames ignited at the end of the words, burning the hair.

Cha Bai asked blankly: "Li Nuo, what do you mean?"

Li Nuo stared with dead eyes and said, "I bet fifty cents that the task panel should be updated."

【Task Update】

Cha Bai took out five coins from his pocket, which was the currency of this world, and stuffed them into Li Nuo's hand.

[Each of the seven warriors took a gear, and there was one gear hidden in the evil ruins that they did not find. There were eight gears in total. As time went by, most of them have now been lost to the public. To find them, you may have to defeat the person holding the gear... Then you can start the challenge mission of "The ancestor who made the gears"]

[By the way, a reminder, the last gear is also the first gear, and it is in the hands of Mayor Papagus.] Li Nuo narrowed his eyes.

"Eight gears... eight gyms... defeat the guy holding the eight gears... get the eight gym badges... the first gear is in the hands of the mayor and Jimmy... the first and last badge is in the first Tokiwa gym..."

Cha Bai also felt something was wrong.

Maljie, who ran over with a branch in his mouth, also felt something was wrong.

"Isn't this Pokémon?"

Li Nuo nodded.

"Ah... don't tell me we have to fight the Four Heavenly Kings in the end... I guess there really will be the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion."

“Woof (Throwing branches is so fun).”

Li Nuo helped Ma Ge throw the branch out, and Maljie chased after it excitedly, wagging his tail.

Then Li Nuo ran into the ruins of the lighthouse and rummaged around.

There was still an [Ancient Crystal] in the reward that had not appeared. Based on the principle of the Seven Steps of Snake Bite, he found a crystal that looked very ordinary from the ruins.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This crystal stone is the size of an adult male's palm and has sharp edges and corners, making it suitable for cutting the aorta when killing someone. It emits a turbid light blue luster all over. If Li Nuo hadn't known about the "Ancient Crystal", he would have thought that this thing should be used for gambling on stones.

【Ancient Crystal】

[Quality: Epic]

[Story items cannot be taken out of the script]

[Brief description: It is like a camera, recording the images of the powerful people who have appeared nearby for thousands of years. The abilities of those powerful people have randomly poured into it. If you crush it, it may happen: 1. Because it is too weak, it will explode and die. 2. Because it is a little powerful, some skills will evolve.]

[Tip: This thing is only useful to recognized people. Sometimes it can affect many people, so it is best not to use it during a fight. If you strengthen the enemy, you will be in trouble.]

Li Nuo held the crystal and looked at the damn panel.

He decided to use [Pixel Cut] to make a mosaic for himself, and then pinch it.

then……

【Task Update】

"Why is it here again? Why is this task always updated?" Cha Bai wanted to complain.

[Ancient crystals will appear along with ancient things]

[Every time you get a new gear, you can find an ancient crystal near it]

"What the hell!"

Li Nuo couldn't help it.

"Why not just say that after getting the badge, the gym leader has nothing to do and gives the trainer a 'skill machine'? Why are you still going on about challenging the gym? Give me the Poké Ball, asshole!"

Cha Bai missed this guy's long string of complaints so much that he smiled happily.

"do not care……"

Li Nuo activated [Pixel Slash] and crushed the crystal.

Then he and Cha Bai heard...

[Da, da, da da da~]

"It's evolved."

Li Nuo couldn't help but swear, but the next second he was delighted when he saw the evolved skills.

[Igni Snap → Alchemist's Snap]

[Type: Active Skills]

[Effect: Snapping your fingers will cause the target in front of you to explode with blue flames, consuming 1% of the total magic power]

[Note: If you use this skill too hard, your fingers will be broken (really)]

[Brief description: A man who turns into garbage when he encounters water]

Li Nuo looked at Maljie who was running back with a branch in his mouth.

Snapped!
With a snap of his fingers, Maljie was blown into the sky.

Li Nuo concluded: "It's average in power. It's useless if you encounter a guy with a shield."

Then the panel changed again.

[Skill Linkage]

【Cuihua's Big Explosion】

[Type: Active Fusion Skill]

[Effect: Summons "Cuihua" and uses "Alchemist's Snap" on it. Cuihua will trigger the skill "Big Explosion". This move is too powerful after use. Cuihua cannot be summoned within 24 hours, and "Alchemist's Snap" cannot be used within 24 hours.]

[Brief description: Cuihua must have sinned in her previous life to have met you]

For the sake of caution, Li Nuo did not plan to experiment with this move so soon.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that... Let's be cautious and retreat first."

Since we no longer sense any danger, and there may be strange dangers nearby, there is no need to stay any longer.

He looked at Cha Bai and found that she looked unhappy.

"You haven't upgraded any improper skills yet, have you?"

"Don't ask."

Cha Bai wanted to end the topic quickly, so he looked at Brother Ting in the distance.

"Sir, do you want to join us?"

"Oh, sure." Brother Ting was straightforward: "You guys aren't the team mentioned in the rumors, are you?"

"You noticed?" Li Nuo was startled, then thought: It's normal to notice...

"Sorren Lee, is he your captain?"

Li Nuo: "Huh?"

Brother Ting: "I heard that there are several very powerful teams among the players below me, such as a guy with glasses who is looking for female players everywhere..."

Cha Bai: "Sir...why do you think we are not from another team?"

Brother Ting looked at Maljie, who was staring at the tree branch with a dejected look, and said, "That is your summon, right? It is a very strange summon. I heard that Soran is an [Explorer] and has many strange things in his hands, including you."

He pointed at Cha Bai and continued, "Since that guy is looking for female team members everywhere, it means there are a lot of beautiful women in his team. Am I right?"

Cha Bai: "Thank you."

Li Nuo hooked his arm around Ting Ge's shoulders and said with a kind smile, "Do you want to meet Mr. Soran when you get back? He's very generous~!"

“Isn’t it in this script?”

"Yes, yes~ You will see~"

"Are you easy to get along with?"

"Okay, okay~ I love being helpful~"

“A lot of female players?”

"Many, many~ One hundred and eight beautiful ladies~"

The sound gradually faded away and they walked out of the dense forest.

Cha Bai was the last one to follow. Before she walked out of the open space of the lighthouse, she bowed slightly towards the ruins.

"May the Lord of Triss bless you with a happy afterlife."

……

The moonlight quietly penetrated the ruins of the lighthouse.

At the position where Cha Bai had just bowed, a super-powered girl was looming, sitting on a stone platform made of broken bricks.

Mystery, she looked at the direction where Cha Bai left with a smile on her face.

The Mist Ghost crawled out from the ground in spirit form, sat at her feet, grabbed a cigarette from the air, lit it, put it to his mouth and took a puff, and asked, "In the past ten years, they are the first few people who have walked out of our alliance on their own, right?"

"It seems so." Mi Hui said.

"Nonsense." The Mist Ghost sneered while holding a cigarette in his mouth: "You were sincere in letting me win just now."

Misty forest.

Many newcomers are curious about why the authorities don’t care about such a dangerous place. The answer is that it is not dangerous at all. This is the safest place in the world because the mystery will knock out anyone who strays in and send them out.

People often get lost in the forest without knowing why, and over time this place becomes a dangerous area.

But no one has died here since seventy years ago.

"Yeah, let the water go."

Mi thought of Li Nuo protecting Cha Bai, as if she saw the scene in the past when her "battle-hardened brave" protected her.

"Why?" Mist Ghost asked curiously.

"Who knows~" Mi was satisfied to see that scene, but didn't want to share it.

"Ah, never mind." The Mist Ghost stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the collapsed lighthouse, and said, "Your lighthouse is broken."

"Yeah, it's a very troublesome thing." Mi smiled and said, "It will be fine after repairing it."

"Unfortunately, I won't accompany you." said the Mist Ghost.

"Are you going?"

"Ah."

Mist ghost.

The ghost that accidentally entered this place is a kind of magical beast, a mythical beast without a real body that can never die.

As the ghost's mystery gave it a place to live, it returned the mystery with a quiet mist.

But the quietness came to an end.

"That silver-eyed brat took away the spirit that shaped my body. I can't help you for now."

"In this way, the Misty Forest will be gone." Mi said with some regret.

"Anyway, it's very quiet here. It's time for you to get in touch with other ghosts."

"I'm waiting for him. It's good to be alone."

"That's it."

The Misty Ghost looked at the scattered moonlight and laughed.

"I haven't been out for seventy years. I'm going to take this opportunity to see the world."

It looked towards the blonde super girl.

"If I see the ghost of your lover, I will bring him back to you."

"Then, thank you~"

Mi smiled faintly, tilted his head, and gradually disappeared.

When the Mist Ghost came to its senses, it was the only one left here. It walked out, ready to leave.

In order to prevent anyone from disturbing its old friend, the ghost placed some magic traps around.

The next morning.

The duo of stupid thieves woke up from their sleep, got out of the robot they made, confirmed again and again that last night's "feces rain" had disappeared, and then went deep into the forest.

The woman gritted her teeth and strode towards the lighthouse: "We must catch that stupid dog..."

The man followed behind and said cautiously: "I think the two owners of the dog may have run away, right?"

Woman: "Go in and take a look first, idiot!"

A minute later, the two guys were blasted into the sky by the magic trap left by the Mist Ghost.

The two of them are still very energetic in heaven.

"I told you the dog wasn't here!"

“We must find the dog that can drive!”

The dog who can drive is embarking on a journey to challenge the gym with two men and one woman.
