Can you become stronger without paying money?

When it came to the change of the plot, Riel didn't go into it, because if it was as he guessed, this world really existed... It wasn't the game world created by Riel, it was just that Riel got information about this world in a dream. If there are some revelations in the future, it is also expected that the plot of this world will not develop in the way he knows.

"Then, let's go back to the plot... Let's sort out the game plot from the beginning according to what I know, Riel Orlander, this man who appeared from the ancient elven ruins... the main body was made by the 'Ancient One' Macka Artificial life, he was sleeping in the ruins, but was awakened by the adventurers who accidentally bumped into the ruins, and at the same time activated the mechanism in the ruins, two adventurers died because of this, these adventurers blamed the death of their companions on The man who woke up in the mechanism, and attacked him without any explanation..."

"...Then they all died. That man's setting is beyond the limit... He will never lose to Uncle Arut before awakening. However, due to early awakening, his memory is confused, and his strength has also declined to a level that is almost non-existent. , But during the melee with those adventurers, that man learned the strength of these adventurers, used his own hidden talent, and quickly raised his strength to the limit level."

The battle ended overwhelmingly. During the chaotic battle, the man killed all the adventurers who tried to attack him, and learned the names of the two dead adventurers.

Rael Benjeff...Karan Olande...

The memory belonging to the "ancient artificial life body" ends here. Next, it is due to excessive power loss and physical weakness caused by early awakening. On the way to the coma, the brain of the ancient artificial life body gradually completed awakening, and the personality It was incompletely written, and then he woke up.

There are no more ancient man-made life forms, only a man who thought he had lost his memory... Relying on the last two names left before coma, the two names were called out by his companion's death, and the blurred memory combined the two names into one got a...

"Riel Orlander... That man was born in this way. He didn't lose his memory, but he didn't have any memory at all. He didn't even have a complete personality. common sense and knowledge, and then left the elven ruins and traveled alone as a treasure hunter for a long time, and then slowly came into contact with humans and learned to acquire his own personality."

So in fact, the original "treasure hunter" Riel Orlander has always been a person with some personality defects. It is nothing more than the gray identity of the treasure hunter that explains his words and deeds. , it is impossible to be a sunny boy with sound three views, more or less have some personality problems or three views...

And during a trip, he passed through the Forest of Danquan, and arriving here...is the beginning of the whole story...

"So... a protagonist with a complete history and no problems, how can he be gone?! Where did he go? Was he replaced by me? I didn't think too much when I first timed back, but now I think about it. It's very unreasonable, it would be fine if I was the soul-wearing dove occupying the magpie's nest and occupying this guy's position, but the problem now is that I came here with my physical body...all these things came with me."

Riel took out a few things from his pocket, a bus card, a bunch of keys and an empty box of throat lozenges.

The throat lozenges have been eaten by Riel. After all, this thing can’t be stored for a long time and has a shelf life, and the other things have been kept by Riel as souvenirs from the past world. There are more than 30 in this bus card. What a dollar!

Is more than 30 yuan called money to Ma Teng?Is it money?

...that is life!

Well, the heartache is the heartache, in short, these things should be able to explain whether Riel is wearing the soul wear or not, so it's still the same problem... What about the protagonist of the original version?Gone?impossible!

Unless... that guy never existed in the first place...

… Unless, in fact, that guy should have another identity from the beginning, from another world, on a planet called Earth, the third planet in the solar system, a dead house uncle named Ma Teng.

It's not a replacement, but Riel should be Ma Teng, and Ma Teng should be Riel!

"If this is true, then many things can be explained clearly. Of course, I can't be sure whether these are true or not. Can you give me the answer?"

Riel stared into the eyes of the AI ​​girl, but in fact he had already guessed what the other party would say.

"Well, unfortunately, this is...a forbidden item~"

The answer is a matter of course, so natural that it makes Riel feel disappointed. To be honest, he certainly doesn’t hate his current life. It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is the day he dreams of. There will always be a voice in Er's heart reminding him.

There may be something behind this world that he can't imagine, and a huge "conspiracy" runs through it. Everything he came to this world was compiled by this conspiracy, even the "future" of this world in his mind. "Memory.

"Prohibited items? However, it is not impossible to find out the facts..."

Riel lowered his head and bit the tip of his thumb, he seemed to have thought of a certain way.

"The protagonist who was replaced by me, the original Riel Orlander, woke up somewhere in the elf ruins of the empire..."

If that person really existed, he would definitely leave traces in the elven ruins. If this person never existed at all, there must be corresponding clues in the elven ruins.

"The top priority now is to immediately enter the World Tree Floating Island and stop Uncle Arut's actions. After that... I'm going to visit the elven ruins of the empire, and I'm going to confirm for myself whether Riel Oland Real existence!"

Seeing that Riel seemed to have slowly made up his mind, the AI ​​girl also showed a gentle smile.

"Well, please come on, I'm also having a headache, if you've been led by the 'plots' in your mind, I can't think of a way to affect you, after all, there are system restrictions, I can do it There are very limited things to do, hey, the sins I made, I have to cry myself to fix it~"

Riel gave her a dead fish eye, "Can you make your words clearer, I will thank you more."

The other party also imitated his appearance and returned a dead fish eye, "Well, I want to make it clear, but I can't. No matter how clear I am, the exit will become these inexplicable things. This is a limitation of the system. I can't help it, but I hope you can remember one sentence~"

"?"

"The system can give you a lot of things, even everything you expect, but sometimes...you can really 'get' everything that belongs to you after you abandon everything the system gives you!"

Riel spread his hands calmly, "I don't understand...I can understand each word separately, why do you think you are talking to me about tongue twisters when put together?"

"Ahaha, then I can't help it. A certain idiot relied too much on this back then, and in the end there was nothing left~"

I thought it was just a casual joke, but Riel was silent for a while, and suddenly burst out two nouns for no reason...

"...Machika...the origin model, the idiot you are talking about...couldn't it be Machika who finally completed the origin model?"

"……what?!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The conversation between Riel and the AI ​​girl is over. The last two seem to have talked about some very important things, but when they talked about the depth of the two, they both chose to end the topic wisely. Riel knows that this is probably not what he needs now. Know the facts.

At present, he is still too weak. After all, if he is really strong enough to run rampant in the plot, then any change in the plot is a trivial matter. If he has absolute strength, he can be forcibly pulled back when the plot goes berserk. I can save the people I want to save, and keep the things I want to keep.

The system update is not over yet, Riel wants to change his mood, and now it happens to be an excessive gap in the plot, at least before going to Yggdrasil, there is no important key plot.

So Riel carefully hugged Ailu to the bed first, and let the big cat nest comfortably into a ball...

"Last time, it was really hard~" Riel stretched out his hand and pinched the big cat's side face. The big cat twitched its eyebrows and wrinkled its nose in sleep. It seemed that it smelled Riel, so it continued to relax. His brows were opened, and he was so sleepy that he didn't feel conscious.

After covering the big cat with a blanket, Riel got up and left the room. Nana and Nana waited in front of the door. As Riel approached, the two sisters came up.

"Hey, has the master finished his work?"

Because you need to communicate with the AI ​​girl, in the eyes of outsiders who can't see the AI ​​girl, it seems that Riel is alone. Besides, the existence of AI and the system is currently Riel's most important secret, so get rid of the big cat Elle Besides, Riel seldom uses the system in front of other people, not distrust, but simply being careful.

... After all, be careful when sailing for thousands of years~

"Well, the matter has been settled, and then, this is a 'gift' for you~"

Riel took out two potions from his pocket...

"This is the potion that completely solves your physical problems. In fact, more than half of it has been completed, but there is still a key material missing. It just so happens that I started it this time~"

What Riel was talking about was the white fruit that he got in the password box of the Tower of the Star Realm. This was the last material to complete the potion. After being fully matured, it was sent to the hands of the two sisters.

"After the potion is finished, it needs to be left to mature for six hours. Once it is matured, it must be taken within two hours to ensure the maximum effect of the medicine. After you drink it now, go back to your room and find a comfortable place to lie down. After drinking this medicine, you will fall into a coma for at least 72 hours, don’t worry, you’ll be fine, and when you wake up, all problems will be gone..."

Nana and Nana carefully took the potion from Ruier's hand, they looked at each other, and at the same time leaned forward and pressed kisses on both sides of Ruier's cheeks.

"If you don't see your master for 72 hours, just be patient for a while~"

Nana winked at Riel playfully, Riel stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, dumbfounded, "For you, it's a matter of closing and opening your eyes, don't make it as if I'm going to the battlefield to say goodbye to life and death, don't worry , it will be fine, I have already controlled the dosage that is most suitable for you~"

After watching the two sisters leave with the potion, Riel also heaved a sigh of relief. In this way, one thing is considered a failure. With this potion, the two sisters can completely control the ghost power of the golden eyes and four eyes. Cut off the hidden dangers of the body.

Riel wandered around inside Luna Shuttle for two times, and happened to be outside Sapphire's room. Hearing that it seemed lively inside, he knocked on the door.

"... Ah, what are you guys playing?"

Riel looked at the mess in the room dumbfounded. Sapphire, Fei, and Alice were all in a mess. The room was in a mess, as if it had just experienced the baptism of a storm.

"Ahem, this...is an accident, just a small accident~"

Fei turned her head away in embarrassment, and the little puppet flew over with a look of resentment...

"...Hey, human!"

Riel was taken aback, then pointed to himself, "Uh, are you calling me?"

"right……"

"..."

From the change in address, it can be heard that the little puppet is a little dissatisfied now, Riel reached out to hug the little puppet, and placed it on his head amidst the opponent's screams.

"Do you have any advice? My lovely little princess?"

Put on Riel's head, the little puppet sitting in a familiar position moved its body awkwardly, and finally lay down on Riel's head unhappily, hanging down with half of its face staring at the dead fish eyes. Riel's forehead hangs down, just in line with Riel's eyes.

"Didn't you say that Fei has a talent for elf skills? Why has Fei's elf skills not been successful so far? Are you lying? Alice hates people who lie!"

Riel could feel that Alice really cared about this. As a little puppet who was deceived by the witch Alice in the past, now his personality has just begun to reorganize, and he has an almost instinctive aversion to "deception", even if Riel is just for comfort Fee used a white lie as well.

"Oh, you were experimenting with elf skills just now?"

Riel glanced at Sapphire, but he didn't know what to say, "Do you dare to try elf skills in your own room? What if you accidentally blow up the house?"

"Ahem, didn't I see that I was also there, if something really got out of control, can I help control it?"

Safiley's words are not bragging, but Fei, as a beginner, must be far inferior to Safiley's elf skills. It was because of this kind of support that Safieli dared to let Fei practice elf skills in the room, but she didn't know which link went wrong.

"It's strange, the elf technique used by this child is so strange, I can't even suppress it... Uh, even though I didn't use the spiritual equipment..."

Sapphire had a chicken coop on her head, helplessly arranging her messy red hair, while Fei was still looking apologetic.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what the problem is, but as soon as I use spirit magic, it will become like this..."

After all, Fei raised her hands, and a blue eye of the wind formed in the palm of her hand, but as soon as the eye of the eye formed, Fei snuffed it out by herself.

Safi Liping stretched out her right hand, and the blue eyes of the wind also appeared on the palm, "No problem, there is no problem until this step, the strength is well controlled, and it is already very good for a rookie. But then something went wrong, suddenly out of control..."

Riel pinched his chin, and suddenly said for no reason, "Alice, do you want to come along and have a try?"

"Eh?"

Alice above Riel's head looked confused, "Impossible, Alice has no way to learn..."

"Ah, that's in theory. In theory, as a doll, you can't learn, but it doesn't mean there's no way to solve it. In short, I probably guessed what Fei's situation is. Fei and you fit too well, Gao To the point where you may soon become two bodies and one mind, after Alice broke the contract with the Witch's Mansion, she has always been an existence relying on Fei."

Therefore, Faye and Alice can be regarded as a complete whole, regardless of each other. When they use the same power together, such as illusion, there will be a very terrifying bonus. It is because of this reason.

"...Have you ever heard of dual cards and dual channels? This is the situation with the two of you now. You have dual cards, but if Fei is the only one using elf magic, it means that only one channel has been activated, and the other channel has not been activated. Using it, the result is a calculation error, and Duang will blue screen after a while~”

Riel's explanation made the three girls look confused, "...I don't understand, can you speak human language?"

"To put it simply, the two of you must use Spirit Art together. This will not only greatly improve the efficiency, but also activate dual channels. The effect achieved is not one plus one... but one multiplied by one!"

...Hey, is there something wrong? !

"However, Alice cannot learn, she is a puppet, and does not have this condition..."

Sapphire raised the most serious question. Yes, Alice is a puppet and cannot learn like a human. This is an inherent limitation...

"Oh, there is actually a solution to this problem, but you have to enter Yggdrasil first, Alice..."

Riel reached out and hugged the little doll from its head...

"Do you want to be a real life? You don't have to be a human being. It doesn't matter if you still have a doll's body, but you want to become a real life and truly experience the emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, not now Such a vague premonition?"

Do you want it?

Really cry out, really laugh out, no longer a puppet on a string, no longer being controlled by someone to fiddle with every move...

...want to...be human?

Without any hesitation, Alice yelled out forcefully.

"I want to! Alice... wants to really live!"

"Well, let me make it clear first..." Riel suddenly dropped his words again, "You are a puppet now, so the 'samsara of life and death' does not exist for you, as long as it is not 'broken', You don't have the concept of death, but once you become a life, you must abide by the law of life and death reincarnation, you will cry and laugh, and you will become a real living life, but..."

Riel's tone suddenly became very heavy...

"...However, you will become a living being, you will grow old and die, and you will also experience changes in your emotions and state of mind. After you think carefully, do you want to give up the 'immortal body' that so many people dream of? In exchange for being a real life."

An atmosphere of silence spread in the room, Riel's words came through word by word.

"Think about it, time is fair, he takes away everything without distinction, we humans are so afraid of time, because it is enough to be called 'the enemy of all things', no matter you are an emperor or a wandering beggar, time No matter how noble your status is, you can't stop the erosion of time, are you... are you really ready?"

Riel handed the little doll in his arms to Fei...

"...Don't worry, don't slap your head to decide on such an important matter. You have lived so long, you should have witnessed the birth, old age, sickness and death of human beings enough to understand what this means. The same is true for Fei. You don't have to worry , this kind of philosophical question like 'who am I', 'where do I come from' and 'what am I living for' has driven many thinkers crazy. Impulsiveness leads to making choices that you will regret in the future.”

Riel knows the little puppet's longing, but this desire will make her lose the biggest advantage of being a puppet, the immortal body... What many people dream of but can't get, the little puppet's personality is slowly becoming It's true, but it's not real.

To put it bluntly, this personality is that the little puppet observes Ruier, a group of companions who can be regarded as "full of personality (funny, explosive, hang-up)", so that they subconsciously learn to imitate, and it is just a patchwork thing, which is different from the original one. "Rael Hollander" like...

...According to the plot of the original game...Well, it is difficult to determine whether Riel has such a thing, so let's call it that first. You become a truly complete life, completely making up for personality defects.

The situation of the little puppet is worse than that of Riel, and her personality defects are much more serious than Riel's. At least Riel can communicate with normal people without barriers, but the little puppet can only communicate with Riel after so long This group of *communication.

"Sapphire~"

Ruier glanced at her, and Her Royal Highness understood, she bent down and rubbed Fei's hair, "Don't think too quickly, think slowly~"

After that, he got up and leaned over and grabbed Riel's arm, "Well, I want to go out for a walk, come with me~"

So, I left with an excuse that was too clumsy, and left the world of the two to Fei and Alice, and let them have some whispers in their own time and space.

After Riel and Safiley left, Safiley stretched vigorously.

"Hmm, I always feel that after getting the Xingyao compass and Xinghuo's spiritual mirror, what I want to do has been completed in a big step, and I will go to Yggdrasil next, eh, I don't know why I suddenly became nervous~"

Riel looked at Sapphire's face, and couldn't help laughing, "Pfft, it's the same, I'm nervous too~"
