As a player, can you be normal?

There is no such creature in Neil, right? Marger suddenly asked.

no……

Li Nuo hesitantly lifted the stool and stuck his head into the water pipe. Then the three of them heard a systematic voice:

[It involves a hidden plot, please consider whether to enter at your discretion]

You, you, did you hear about a special mission? Chen Shou stammered. Events beyond his expectations happened too frequently, and panic spread in the grooves of his brain for a while.

Li Nuo was expressionless. He had already experienced this kind of thing during the screening of newcomers: Isn't it just a hidden plot... The diary reminds me that the area around the suspension bridge is where the Yorha troops disappeared, and the next location of the hidden mission should be there. Just follow the map, there is no need to follow the water pipes.”

After finishing speaking, he picked up the gun bag and put a relatively intact monster corpse into it.

Don't underestimate corpses. In an environment with sufficient tools, corpses are perfect materials for making bombs and traps.

In a compartment in the gun bag, he also found a curved magazine containing 30 rounds of M1943 intermediate-power rifle ammunition.

Okay, let's go.

On the way back.

The formation of the three of them was just like in a traditional RPG game, lined up in the front, middle and back, walking cautiously on the tall grass.

Li Nuo, who was walking between the two, was slightly worried.

The diary mentioned that dark night was coming, which was a strange signal.

The world of NieR Automata is strange in its own right.

The main stories of games, animations and comics all take place in the daytime world of Earth, also known as the Kingdom of Day.

On the other side of the earth, that is, the American continent, there is no daytime there, so it is the country of night.

He opened up his memory of the game.

The timeline in my mind reaches the year 5012, when aliens invade the earth.

In the year 5024, aliens began to produce mechanical life forms in the Kingdom of Night.

The reason why the earth has day and night split in half is tidal locking.

In incomplete data records, the tidally locked time is 26xx years.

In other words, the earth in this world does not rotate.

It always orbits with the same hemisphere facing the sun.

If it were placed in the past, Li Nuo would definitely feel that this setting could not happen in reality. The consequence of tidal locking is that the temperature on the sun side will be extremely high, while the temperature on the dark side will be extremely low.

Moreover, due to the difference in light and heat between the day and night hemispheres, strong thermal temperature difference convection is triggered, and strong winds continue to blow from the night hemisphere to the day hemisphere, forming new circulations, causing global heavy rains and super storms, forever changing the Original land and sea distribution and meteorological systems.

But he himself is a puppet in the virtual world, and anything that is illogical can be ignored directly by the word logic.

Now even if someone scolds him as you are a piece of shit, he has to first think about whether he is really a piece of shit.

The thoughts were pulled back.

There is no night in the Kingdom of Day, and there is no day in the Kingdom of Night.

In the stories of the NieR generation, many plots indicate that there is no night in this world, and they regard the dusk and dawn at the junction of night and day as dark night.

This reminded Li Nuo of three sentences from the passage he heard on the train:

——The nightless daytime world is being invaded by darkness, and dawn will become the starting point.

The interpretation is that the mission location is being invaded by another creature that brings destruction, and the night will become a turning point.

Li Nuo told the two people in front and behind him this idea.

Then he made a simple inference.

“In terms of setting, the monsters in NieR Automata are basically mechanical life forms. It is mentioned in the diary that the resistance army encountered creatures they have never seen before. Two hypotheses can be put forward.

One, there are some creatures that have not appeared in the game in this world;

Second, there are things from other games, or things from other worlds, that have come to NieR Automata.

Marger hypothesized: Among those dangerous creatures, is it possible that there are female centaurs?

I hope that some people will show up, and I can ride on with a few words, but it's impossible. Li Nuo's riding and Marjie's riding should not mean the same thing.

Chen Shou listened silently and had only one feeling.

It's like I'm participating in a weird treasure hunt...

If I hadn't boarded the pirate ship of Li Nuo and Marger, I would have been enjoying the linear game route protected by the resistance.

Thinking of this, he struggled to squeeze out a boring question: Li Nuo...how do you know so much about games?

Li Nuo replied: I don't have a job, I'm so idle.

So that's it... Chen Shou realized that this guy was either lying, or he was actually working in a job that he couldn't tell directly.

He is indeed very dangerous.

Chen Shou groaned and looked at Marjie, who was wearing a Doraemon mask.

This one is more dangerous.

By the way, Brother Shou, what is your slingshot that can shoot birds? Li Nuo asked.

Haha... this. Chen Shou scratched his cheek in embarrassment, took out his slingshot and set the panel to be visible to everyone.

【Slingshot overtraining! 】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Equipment conditions: reaction 3]

[Effect: It comes with ten rounds of large bird-shaped lead ball bullets. Once the ammunition is used up, the ammunition will be fully recharged after a 10-minute cooling time]

[Special entry: 15% damage bonus to pigs]

[Brief description: Ya! ! ! 】

Seeing that this creative slingshot can still be used, Li Nuo is relieved.

After all, Chen Shou's fort function is very important in this script.

Marjie looked at it, then hummed, took off the rifle he was carrying, and handed it to Chen Shou.

The latter was dumbfounded and didn't understand what was going on.

Marger said: You were able to accurately shoot that monster in mid-air. You should have unlocked [Long Range Sniper], right?

Chen Shou was speechless, he was right.

This slingshot is the initial weapon he got during the Newcomer Screening.

After the train took him into his own space, Chen Shou chose to bind the weapon in the cabin and unlocked his [Remote Sniper].

The above series of operations cost him 800 gold coins.

In the next two missions, he was on the verge of bankruptcy due to a failure and realized a problem. In the endless corridors, gold coins must be used carefully.

Just like a pregnant woman crossing a single-plank bridge, if she fails to take a step well, she is heading towards death.

Skinny brother, take it. Li Nuo's voice brought Chen Shou back from his memories: You are the only one who has mastered shooting skills. If your slingshot enters the cooling time, the rifle can be maximized in your hand. use.

Chen Shou silently took the rifle and the magazine handed by Li Nuo.

The basis of competition among players lies in treasures.

He has experienced two scenario missions, and when faced with rewards, the players all scrambled to grab them.

He couldn't even imagine a situation like these two guys taking the initiative to hand over their weapons.

Brother Ma, thank you... Chen Shou looked at Li Nuo again: Thank you, I will play a good role in covering up.

I shouldn't have doubted them while wearing glasses... let alone their humanity... Chen Shousheng felt a faint, painful feeling of guilt.

At this moment, Li Nuo smiled and added: Then you are the fort now, and the fort cannot be moved during combat.

Ah? Chen Shou was stunned: Then wouldn't I become a living target?

But this can maximize the screening effect. Li Nuo said.

Chen Shou actually thought about it for a while, and it seemed right...but it seemed...

You are asking me to die!

Li Nuo said: Then let me put it another way: I am willing to help others.

Don't you still want me to die? Chen Shou didn't notice that he had forgotten the tension caused by the battle just now when he complained.

By this time they had returned to where Sanbengzi was.

Then Chen Shou watched Li Nuo dig some more soil and pull out some grass to cover the android he had knocked unconscious not long ago.

Chen Shou was very knowledgeable and did not ask Li Nuo why he did this. Anyway, it must be for some bad purpose.

I guessed half right, it had a purpose, but it was definitely not a bad purpose.

Regarding the Resistance Army's [Rescue the Wounded] mission, the level requirement is level 15.

Missions above their average player level are certainly not going to be easy.

If you choose to take this resistance soldier to the military camp for emergency repairs, there is a high probability that you will encounter danger halfway.

For safety reasons, Li Nuo planned to postpone this task.

If I can get more weapons, I'll figure out how to complete this branch.

This time it was Li Nuo who drove the three-bouncer.

He took out the map, marked a location, pointed to the road map above and said: After all, this game is also a science fiction theme. If we can find futuristic weapons, it will be worth the price even if the mission fails. We should encounter some enemies on the road. Mechanical life forms must have weapons in their hands, including bullets, guns, and shields. If they are lucky, they may even find powerful cold weapons that need to be purchased in the game, or even long-range weapons that they have never seen before, such as particle cannons.

If there are powerful long-range weapons, Li Nuo is thinking about unlocking [Remote Sniper].

Especially the guns in the game that can shoot barrage balls from the hands of the mechanical lifeforms. He was already eager to try it just thinking about it...

As a result, there was not a single mechanical life form on the road...

Strange... where are the mechanical life forms?

When driving into the hinterland of a ruin, Li Nuo noticed a small iron car pressed under a stone about 20 meters away.

His expression suddenly changed and he slammed on the brakes.

Chen Shouka's flesh twisted in his seat, and he let out a painful ah sound. He gritted his teeth and asked, Li... Nuo, what's wrong...?

After he finished speaking, when he saw Li Nuo's expression as if he saw a thousand naked women running wildly on the street, his heart suddenly went crazy.

You guys wait for me.

Li Nuo said a word, got out of the car, ran over there, and moved the stones away. An overturned blue tin car came into everyone's eyes.

Seeing this scene, Marjie's expression paused: Fuck...

Chen Shou was stunned: Brother Ma...what's wrong?

Marjie said: That seems to be Emil?

Emile? Chen Shou had never played NieR and didn't understand what he was talking about, but he had a bad feeling and asked, Who is this?

Marger frowned slightly and said with an uneasy tone: The hidden BOSS of NieR Automata.
