As a player, can you be normal?

8 a.m.

Cha Bai opened his eyes.

The quilt covered her lips, and she looked towards the window bit by bit.

Its daybreak……

Sit up.

After a while, the unreal feeling brewed.

After getting up and going out, Li Nuo left a note on the table, saying that he had gone to the Endless Corridor.

She picked up the cup casually, drank the still warm water, turned to look at the kitchen, and went over curiously. The meat melting in the basin aroused her interest.

He wants to cook?

Cha Bai touched his chin. He had seen Li Nuo cooking before, slicing meat with a knife and frying it in an iron pot.

It's very simple to think about it...

Xuan even picked up the kitchen knife, thinking that since she was staying at his house, it would feel relieved to help him a little.

Take the tough meat out of the water.

Place on the chopping board.

The kitchen knife was skillfully used in his hand, and he chopped it into pieces just like he used to chop people.

There was a muffled sound.

The meat was broken from the chopping board...

Um……

Endless Corridor, Player 5950.

…

After returning to the space, the clothes will automatically change back to the last time you left.

Cha Bai originally wanted to tell Li Nuo about the chopping board, but saw Li Nuo's silly smile and couldn't bear to interrupt his good mood.

Hey, hey, hey... let me show you something familiar.

Li Nuo grinned crazily and showed Cha Bai the Poké Ball in his hand.

[Combined MOD Poke Ball]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Tip 1: When the target's blood volume is less than 2% of the theoretical value, there is an 85% probability of conquering it]

[Tip 2: You can conquer any creature in the script, but it cannot be used on players, including yourself]

[Tip 3: The conquered thing can be combined with another conquered thing]

[Introduction: A certain trainer used this ball to subdue a powerful warrior and combined it with another duck in his hand, and then he possessed the Cowherd God]

Ah... I am indeed familiar with it. Cha Baixu said with eyes, Well, what are you going to do? Acquire another android?

Li Nuo said unceremoniously: Am I such a person without ideals?

There was a boom in Chabai's head.

Li Nuo took out [Gwent Card: Shadow Elder]: No one stipulates that the summoned creature cannot be conquered again.

Your brain is really...what did you say that time... Cha Bai pursed his lips and said, Abstract.

Never mind this, Sauron just gave me something like this, take a look. Li Nuo handed her the [Bing Xin Jue].

If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be surprised if the sky falls?

Try it and then talk about it.

Sauron's voice came from the tombstone again.

Did you receive the invitation?

what?

Look at the new invitation interface in your mailbox.

Li Nuo followed Sauron's instructions and found a new option under the mailbox. This thing was hidden a bit deep.

[Invitation interface: Players can be invited to the guild for further study]

[Guild: Expand the maximum number of team members from 18 to 30 people, with no limit to the maximum]

[Current letter inviting you: 1]

Li Nuo clicked on the letter.

[Sun Guild: Don’t be surprised, we are my players too. As a train driver, you must at least have a good brain. In view of your BUG-like medical value, we believe no one will invite you, but we need people with good brains to join. Think about it, you will be in trouble when you enter Basel]

Judging from the content of this letter, this guild really needs someone with a brain... Li Nuo asked, Soran, how many letters do you have?

Sauron: Well...more than fifty.

Li Nuo looked at the number of his letters, which was only one, as if he saw his medical value. He asked Sauron:

Why don't you die?

Sauron: You don't want me to complain. Having said that, do you want to hear about the content of the script after level 25?

Li Nuo: Let's just say it. What's the request?

[Player 5870 is transferring props]

【Contract Bell】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: Friends can be summoned or summoned to help in the script. The time limit is 30 minutes. Only one person can be summoned. It can be used once every other script]

[Brief description: This is just an ordinary bell, there is nothing to say]

This rare introduction to the system is useless. Li Nuo took this quaint little bell and asked, Do you want to sign an alliance contract with me?

Well, I will tell you everything only if I think you are one of my own.

OK.

[Whether to spend 500 gold coins to sign a contract with the Dongzhou HW Team]

Sauron, that name of your team...

That's not the point...

Kasim on the other side of Suo Ming suddenly said: The captain was tricked by the system, and the name he mentioned casually was recorded as...

Sauron: Qasim!

Li Nuo curled his lips and said, Sign.

[Player 5900 and player 5950 signed a contract with the Dongzhou HW Team. The contract is valid for half a year]

After signing, what Li Nuo saw became distorted.

Vision returns after a few seconds.

There is an extra manuscript in the mailbox:

[1. Regarding the changes to the real-life script: the trigger is simpler, the difficulty is higher, and the cycle is longer. It may touch the core secrets of the native world. Please participate as appropriate]

[2. Regarding the update of the explosion rate system: the explosion rate machine has been moved from space to the vending machine in the train. You will know the details in the mission]

[3. Information about the mission script: Before level 40, you can invite a friend to participate. If the other party refuses, it will be deemed invalid]

[4. Regarding the arrival area of ​​the mission script: players in the same team and special friends will arrive close to the location, and the rest will arrive randomly]

…

[The world strength increases to the original strength and is no longer protected by the system]

[The so-called strategy is basically useless, and it is difficult for players to get in touch with the core characters of the plot]

[There are hidden BOSS in every world, with different numbers and different strengths]

[The bloodline system can be turned on in the script, and the only way to strengthen it is to kill players of the same bloodline or trigger a hidden quest line]

…

【Glossary:】

[Invasion: Usually the invading player is the player of Other Corridor. It is reported that the strength of Endless Corridor is the inverse, so it is best to stay away if there is an intruder, but if you kill the player, you will get a large amount of money. Rewards, and the probability of inheriting some of his abilities]

[Punishment: Special invading players, whose strength is much higher than that of all players in the script, often need the approval of the guild to become a punisher. If you kill this player, you will receive a large reward and a shopping mall redemption coupon]

[Sinner: Those who are judged as betraying the corridor will be wanted by all players in the corridor once they are labeled as sinners]

[Special: There are two types of special people among players. One is the aborigines who were forcibly brought to the corridor, and the other is the identity blessing person]

[Identity: There are twelve types of abilities with advantages and disadvantages. There are currently fifteen identity holders in the Endless Corridor, involving seven types of identities]

[Guild: Insufficient information]

[Task inheritance: If you kill any invasion, punishment or sinner, you will get his main plot in that world, and the acquisition probability is 35%]

…

Let me guess, you have a share for each person and have it prepared for all the players on the train, right? Li Nuo folded the manuscript and stuffed it into his pocket.

Well, these were dug out from the mouths of the guild members, so be careful. Sauron said.

Sauron, you don't...want to set up a guild, do you? Li Nuo asked.

Will you join?

Won't.

Then don't ask. That's it for now. If we need to talk again, we are allies now. If there is a good deal, we can exchange it with gold coins or props.

After Soren finished speaking, he closed the call and the black and white photo on the tombstone was burned by the flames.

Li Nuo turned around.

Cha Bai's mouth is as clear as ice, Heart is as clear as ice...

It's over... I've become stupid from practicing...

A few minutes later.

This trick works. Cha Bai showed the panel.

[Logic virus: destroys the core system of artificial humans (the infection channel is temporarily closed and reopened after 4 hours)]

[Cyber ​​Psychosis: Thinking violently, attacking everything you can see indiscriminately, subconsciously returning to your personal peak state, you may fall into a mental breakdown after the skill ends (activation level 50%)]

To put it simply, [Bing Xin Jue] makes the brain feel a little frozen, which actually inhibits the madness and protects the contagiousness.

[Cyber ​​Psychosis] happens to be fighting against [Logic Virus], which means that Chabai cannot turn off [Cyber ​​Psychosis], which means that this skill will not cause her mental breakdown for the time being.

In short, it is to fight fire with fire.

Raising gu belongs to yes.

Just at this moment, Marger crawled out of the basement breathing heavily.

As players who have cooperated many times, although they are not in a team, the two of them have given each other permission to enter and exit each other's space at will.

Morning...

Li Nuo: Skip work?

Marger: How's the NieR thing going?

Li Nuo showed the notification panel: It's done, you can go to NieR at any time. The system gives you one day to consider.

Is there a plan? Marger asked.

Yeah. Li Nuo nodded and said, Let's start with Chabai's structure. Although she is an android, the androids in the Yorha Army are completely different from most of the androids in the Yorha Army. The Yorha body is equipped with a machine called [ Black Box] parts. This part is made from the core of the mechanical creature. In other words, the Yorha body has the same consciousness structure as the mechanical creature.

Li Nuo paused for a moment and directly concluded: In other words, Chabai's so-called core furnace is a [black box], and the way to replace the core is to find a resistance army to exchange the core system.

You put it like that...I remembered that comic. Marger thought for a while and said: Neil's comic Yoroha, it's that one...The resistance army named Lily was infected by the logic virus, and the replacement core system was eliminated. Virus, but I remember that in other timelines of the original work, there were other scanning androids who helped cure the logic virus.

Li Nuo smiled and said: Anyway, let's get that [black box] out first, and then we can find a way to cut off the connection server between Cha Bai and the mechanical life form.

Um……

Because these two usually talk like a hammer and a stick, it is difficult for other people to join the conversation between them, and they will feel as if a lot of information has been skipped. Here is an explanation.

There are two kinds of intelligent creatures in the world of NieR.

1. Mechanical life form.

2. Artificial humans.

Theoretically speaking, the androids of Yorha's army, namely Cha Shiro, belong to the third type.

--monster.

The Yorha Force is an artificial human made from the core of a mechanical life form. It is a product that cannot be regarded as any kind of product and has strong combat power.

But... the problem is, even if the core is replaced, there is still a chance that she will be infected with the logic virus. Li Nuo pointed his finger in the sky and said with wide eyes: In this case, we are resigned to fate. I didn't dare to consider returning to NieR before. The reason is because of the 'logic virus'.

Hmph. Marger pretended to laugh: Li Nuo, do you still remember that I told you a long time ago that there is a way to prevent the electronic brain from being invaded?

Ah, remember, when I was in Night City, I was on a mercenary mission.

A virus is a kind of data. To put it bluntly, it is an algorithm. It needs to be entered from a suitable network server to adapt to the algorithm. Marger said this and pointed to his head: Don't you understand yet?

Network? Li Nuo hammered his hand: I understand! Modify the network server!

I use my sub-network to connect to Miss Chabai's network, and it can be changed to [Cyber ​​Network]. Just like the fight between [Logic Virus] and [Cyber ​​Neurosis], the two are incompatible, but first... Marger took a deep breath and said: First, redefine the network system. This cannot be done when there is a [black box] that already has a backup system.

At least we have a backup plan, right? Li Nuo smiled.

When reconnecting to the server, ask Marger to summon Mr. Victor to come out, connect to the [Cyber ​​Network], and redefine the server. This way, a new robot can be created using Neil's artificial human body + cyber network.

Before that, Cha Shiro had to upload the memory to the bunker, the Yorha Force's space fortress, re-download the memory, and transfer it to the memory storage, and it was done.

This is true in theory, but there are definitely problems in practice.

Take it step by step, Li Nuo said. In the world view of NieR, by 11945, which is the time when this story begins, there were 150,000 to 200,000 artificial humans on the earth. The actual danger is not shown in the game. But, who knows what will happen to you.

But we can't stand still. Cha Bai said.

[Focuser has been turned on]

Cha Bai was stunned.

Li Nuo touched his forehead speechlessly: Um... Let me talk about something important. I think it is best not to activate [Focuser] casually before we have to. It is a good thing to upgrade quickly, but the upgrade was too fast before. , I may have missed something, I want to try to see if I can brush up the 'effort value' when I'm downgraded.

The effort value he talks about is the upper limit of the growth of each attribute when upgrading.

When will we set off? Marger asked.

Wait for me to draw ten consecutive cards first. Li Nuo took out the ten random cards that were rewarded in the Eternal Life Train.

He thought that he had drawn a Poké Ball today, so he should be lucky.

After drawing five cards, he taught Cha Bai the remaining five cards with a dark face.

please……

Cha Bai took it and drew out the cards without any hesitation.

With things like random cards, there is a high probability that you will get [Soup Spoon] or [Brick], which are daily necessities for eating and self-defense.

Don't blame Li Nuo for his dark face.

He smoked five bricks.

Chabai's luck is much better.

The first one is an earring.

[Sparkling round earrings]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Usage requirements: Spiritual power 18]

[Effect: It will generate heat when special circumstances occur nearby]

[Brief description: My father gave me new earrings. When I put them on, my ears felt hot. I wanted to ask my father what was going on, but then I discovered that the Chow Chow at home was riding on my father and ran to the highway. Ah! Ah! Five rings! 】

Does any of you want one?

It's obviously a lady's, Li Nuo said.

Cha Bai put it on himself and continued smoking.

【kitchen knife】……

【chopping board】……

Uh... Chabai felt that this was what the corridor was implying.

Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Li Nuo consoled him.

continue.

【Port ball】

...

...

Hmph~

continue.

[The big beep beep slaps you in the face! 】

Snapped!

Cha Bai threw the thing to the ground and gasped: Am I infected by something terrible!?

Li Nuo picked up this thing.

Not to mention the styling.

This is a gun...

A gun that shoots out sticky webs...

He thinks this thing is pretty good.

Can I have it?

At this time, another friend who was set by Li Nuo to be able to enter the space without applying, just climbed out of the basement.

Chen Shou.

After he saw the three people gathered together and what Li Nuo was holding, he went back silently.

It's over... 2B was led astray...

But at least these three are still alive...

…

After drawing the cards, the next process is to prepare the equipment.

Since no materials and items were distributed during this train trip, he simply made decoctions. He had a lot of materials in hand, but he didn't have time to use them because the pace of the assessment was too fast.

Making decoction is a time-consuming job, and he can only consume time bit by bit.

Cha Bai ran to the maintenance room while they were not paying attention, took out [T-string Pants] and [Disposable Aunt Towel] and placed them on the synthetic forging table.

[Synthetic products have a 70% probability of maintaining their original quality, a 29% probability of becoming garbage, and a 1% probability of improving one quality]

[Consume 1500 gold coins to complete a synthesis]

The reason why Li Nuo doesn't use this thing is that he has done experiments and the probability is equivalent to no probability. The 1% possibility is too low, and it will also consume an equipment item. After the two-in-one, although most of the entries are there, However, it is not cost-effective to use when supplies are not so sufficient.

【Vampire T-shirt】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Conditions of use: Female, supporting her]

[Attribute bonus: Medical +10]

[Effect 1: Slow blood return during menstruation]

[Effect 2: Lower body strength increase]

[Brief description: Women are happy every month]

Cha Bai looked at the thin black triangular rope, pinched his lips with his fingers and fell into deep thought.

Is this retribution for destroying Li Nuo's chopping board...

Marger's voice came from the door, and she quickly put her things away.

Nanami was behind Marger and raised her head to say hello.

I promised to perform a robotic surgery on her. You have a maintenance room here, so we can only do it here. Marger said.

Cha Bai hurriedly walked out: Have a good time.

Nanami couldn't stop saying this.

Li Nuo was reading and taking medicine. The space smelled like swill. While waiting, he redeemed his ticket to Neil.

[Redeemed for NieR Automata flight ticket]

[Notification will be given within the next seven days]

Seven days...it doesn't matter, even if it's only two days, it's enough. Let's get the decoction and preparations together first.

Li Nuo licked his lips. As a script whose official world view has not yet been completed, Neil must have many hidden things...

…

It's approaching evening.

Li Nuo and Cha Bai returned to reality.

Me, my chopping board...

Li Nuo stared wide-eyed in the kitchen, unable to believe what he saw. He immediately reacted and walked out with a kitchen knife.

Cha Bai turned her back to him and slightly stuck out her tongue out the window.

Cha Bai... don't touch anything with a blade.

Ah, um, okay.

Li Nuo immediately ran to the kitchen and rummaged through the storage cabinets to find something that could replace the chopping board.

At this time there was a knock on the door.

Li Nuo came out with a kitchen knife.

He saw Cha Bai looking out of the peephole.

Who?

Cha Bai slowly turned around and asked with empty eyes:

Li Nuo, why is a young woman looking for you?
