As a player, can you be normal?

In the space, in the game room on the second floor, Chen Shou did not leave after discovering that Li Nuo and Marjie disappeared.

He sat cross-legged in front of the TV and fiddled with the controller. A third-person perspective two-dimensional game screen was printed on the screen.

Ever since Li Nuo and the others entered the script, the percentage words Connecting have been flashing on the TV.

Generally speaking...

Normal people would have gone home long ago when they found out that their friends had run away.

But again... the players as a group, no matter how normal they look, are actually not normal...

Especially the players who have passed the train test are a group of geeks who have a death-seeking intention.

Back to the topic.

The third-person perspective appears from behind Li Nuo.

If this was a game, it would be with Li Nuo as the protagonist and controlling Li Nuo with a controller.

But Chen Shou cannot control Li Nuo and can only view the current world clues.

【Can you control me? 】

Li Nuo communicated with Chen Shou silently.

Chen Shou pressed the direction keys.

cannot……

[Are there any annotations on the worldview? 】

No.

When I jump out of the interface, it's just a bunch of incomprehensible text.

In fact, the translation of the pile of words that he couldn't understand was: A collection of growth strategies suitable for the Humph team.

[That's it... then... Brother Shou, please tell me carefully about the content of the strategy you can see. 】

Chen Shou clicked the pause button and pulled out a panel.

All I can see is the area where magic learning, military technology learning, and alchemy materials are located nearby.

[Where is the best and nearest one? 】

Chen Shou found a location with the word BEST written on the big map.

He clicked in, then looked at the words he could understand that popped out, and said:

The mining town has the best magic learning materials and the best alchemy materials. It's about... 60 kilometers away from you. I can only see these now.

Chen Shoudi took out the world map and said with slight surprise: Isn't the world map the earth?

【What else? 】

There are alchemy props on a certain island, and it is also the best way to obtain weapons. It must be at least a thousand kilometers away from you... It is marked as a magic island for the military.

On the screen, where Li Nuo and the others were located was a red dot, and the data showed a question mark, but they could see that the scale distance was more than a thousand.

It seems that the farther away you are, the blurry your vision becomes.

[Military Island? 】

Yes, there is a strange exclamation point on that island. I guess it contains a key or treasure, right?

Chen Shou thought for a while and then came up with a question: It's possible... you need to get closer to the 'truth' before I can see more. For example, if you go to a town, I can see the best weapons in the town. Who is the merchant? But the continent where you are now, the best supply area for magic and alchemy materials, is the mining town.

【Any more? 】

When Li Nuo asked this question, Marjie was entangled with a group of big men over his father's problem.

Although Chen Shou didn't rehearse scripts with them, he was used to Marjie's physique of always encountering ridiculous things. He squinted his eyes and squeezed them into slits with his chubby face.

On the screen, with Li Nuo as the center point on the map, the ruler radiated across a continental area, and several question mark points appeared.

After clicking on the question mark, it will be a treasure hunt side mission.

I'll send you a bunch of treasure hunting branches.

Take it.

【Understood. 】

[Slender brother, will you always monitor us? 】

Probably not. My time limit of eight hours in space is constant.

[Troublesome thing, starting from tomorrow, come over when you have time, and I will give you permission to enter the space. 】

okay.

【I will reward you. 】

Chen Shou hesitated for a moment: No, no need... you have helped me a lot.

[It’s different. You helped me a lot by giving me Cairo-kun’s summoning scroll. I’ve paid it off long ago. 】

Chen Shou felt that this was the strange thing about Li Nuo. He would never hold someone else's whole life just for a favor.

Such a person...is not suitable to be the protagonist.

[Also, Brother Shou, what is this game called? 】

…

【have no idea. 】

While Li Nuo was on the phone with Chen Shou, Marjie was being pushed to the ground and hammered by Mrs. Dolos because of the dad issue...

Cha Bai noticed that Li Nuo seemed to be absent-minded. She said nothing and waited for Li Nuo to return to normal before asking, What's wrong?

Li Nuo opened his mouth slightly and said with lip language: Chen Shouneng can provide some strategies.

Cha Bai came closer and said silently: Does he know what the script is?

Li Nuo shook his head.

The two of them got closer and closer, their lips consciously getting closer and closer, unconsciously ignoring the others.

A big man with arms covered with body hair grabbed Li Nuo's neck.

I'll go, kid, be serious! We're all single here!

Li Nuo was picked up and said with a wry smile: Don't think that because your mother is here, I won't dare to whip you.

He sounded naughty, but in reality, he was looking at the panel.

…

[2P has transferred the basic information of Mining Town to your task panel]

[After entering the town, open the panel information]

…

[Summary of branch missions in the continental plate, please filter...]

…

[Side mission: Treasure Hunt Alchemy Notes]

[Task Difficulty: lv35]

[Task reward: Rune’s Alchemy Notes, experience value 3500, characteristic value 1]

[Mission details: On an uninhabited island floating in the sky, there is a maze hidden in the dark. Legend has it that there is a monster guarding the alchemy blueprints. If you want the technology to turn stone into gold, defeat it]

[You can get treasure drawings by spending 1,000 gold coins]

This is the closest and most reliable of the branches sent to him by Chen Shou. The rest are mostly finding cats, sending things, and passing messages, which are classic and boring. Side missions.

There are also some tasks that seem to be interesting... they are too far away...

That's enough, stop making trouble. Dolos stopped the farce and kicked Marjie, who was lying on the ground like a maggot: Give me a bath! You smell like shit!

Marger looked up, and after a few seconds said in a particularly sad and surprised tone: Huh?

The aunt came over and stretched out her hand: Let me see the secret key.

No. Li Nuo said before Cha Bai could. We didn't find the secret key.

Doros blinked blankly: You are lying, boy, if you want me to say...

Cooperation. Li Nuo suddenly said these two words, Dolos or other sky pirates... were a little confused.

Li Nuo said: We are destined to be wanted, and you will also be wanted, so it is very simple. Let's cooperate. Since we are both for the treasure of Icarus, why not give it a try?

Dolos thought for a while: Do you know what Icarus is?

Li Nuo smiled: If you tell me, I'll know.

Dolos said: Some say there are treasures there, some say there are world-destroying weapons, some say there is endless magic, and some say that if you enter Icarus, you can become a god.

Li Nuo said: That should be called Castle in the Sky.

Dolos didn't know what Li Nuo was talking about, but just looked at Chabai. From the girl's blue eyes, she didn't know why, but she felt a little familiar, as if she saw her former self.

Thinking this, Dolos took out a blue crystal fragment from the attached inner pocket.

The shards sparkled.

The blue light was imprinted on the brown eyes, and half of the face showed a flashing and extinguishing cold tone.

Doros said: There are prophecy tablets scattered all over the world. I also saw them when I was young. It is said that the tablets predict the time and location of the secret key.

Her eyes pointed at the stone in her hand.

The Icarus fragments from the bottom of the sea will glow as long as they come into contact with anything related to Icarus. Doros paused and said: White-haired girl, the thing is on you, right?

In other words, this thing is a radar that can detect the location of things. Li Nuo said.

It seems you have admitted the problem of the secret key. Dolos smiled.

You have insight into human nature, I can't deceive you. Li Nuo said very humbly: We will not give you the secret key, even if we jump now, we will not give it to you, and you will never stop us, but I still say that , I need companions, you need accomplices, everyone can cooperate, all for Icarus.

After he finished speaking, he made a prayer gesture, drew a circle on his chest, and then clasped his hands together: Amen~

Dolos squinted his eyes, wrinkles knitted together, and then said: When you propose cooperation, you must be sincere.

Li Nuo was very happy that she had fallen into the trap and said, How about making a deal? I have a treasure map here, and you can lend us a flying device.

He exchanged the side quest sent by Chen Shou and took out a crumpled treasure map.

The drawing is yellowed, and there is a red ink dot printed on the hand-drawn grid map on the edge of the Amelia coast, where there is an island in the sky, and a line of how to find the ruins is written on the paper.

The sons of Doros crowded together, arranged in a fan shape like weapons on the mother's back, and stuck their heads out.

Mom, is he lying?

Don't believe him.

I, I, I, I think, Yingying...

Stutter, shut up!

Dolos said nothing.

Her sons, all of them tall and thick, don't look like they have brains, at least that's what their eyes say.

Among these guys, the one with the wisest eyes looked at Marjie.

Dad, what do you think?

A pair of eyes stared at Brother Ma.

Marjie looked at Li Nuo with a pale face, his eyes full of unconcealable sorrow, as if he was asking for help.

Dolos put away the treasure map, raised her chin, and said like an arrogant old lady: Besides trading and cooperation, do you have any other chores?

Li Nuo: It seems that you are moved.

At this moment, Doros couldn't help but grab Li Nuo's neck.

The distance between their eyes is getting closer and closer.

Dolos gritted his teeth and said with a smile: Kid...you shouldn't have such an idea at your age!

Li Nuo glared at him and asked, Old guy, you don't have any sense, tell me how you can live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife!

The edge of the knife licks blood? Aren't you a priest? What sect? Plague sect?

Yeah, all I can think about is syphilis. You were already infected when you got close to me hahahahahaha!

Boy, you need to improve your tutoring skills.

Sorry, it grew wildly and was not patched.

Hey~ The little devil with thorns all over his body...

You old widow...

Dolos took a drag on the pipe. He was getting older and his endurance was not as good as when he was young.

I accept your treasure map. Listen, boy, this cooperation cannot allow me to maintain my trust in you. You need something else.

How about the hostages?

When Li Nuo said this, a chill ran down Marjie's spine.

Hostage? Dolos looked at Chabai.

Li Nuo pointed to the weapon box, where the staff member he knocked unconscious in the bathroom was still asleep.

If there is no internal response, how can we find the secret key before others?

Li Nuo's rhetoric is almost impeccable...

Dolos couldn't find any flaws, but she was still worried.

You're too narrow-minded, kid.

Li Nuo was not to be outdone.

If I play tricks with you again, I'm your son!

Dolos smiled, showing strength through weakness.

Okay! If I don't keep my promise, I will be your mother!

Marjie realized it later and felt very awkward.

And me?

A group of big and thick men looked at Brother Ma.

dad?

Pa...Cha Bai patted his forehead and lowered his head: It's so embarrassing...

Then it's settled. Dolos didn't know why, but he was very satisfied.

For the things in the treasure map, you leave me a blueprint for the alchemy potion. You can take the rest as you wish. Li Nuo continued to make conditions: We will go to the mining town. He looked at the remaining tasks on the panel Time, and then said: You will come to us in two days. There are hostages and treasures there. There is no need for us to leave...

Just before he finished speaking, a muffled roar came up from under the clouds!

Dolos's eyes changed.

Kids, work quickly!

As soon as she said children, the group of big men were already in their respective positions to do their work.

Chabai's chest felt hot again, and he ran to the edge of the deck and looked down.

whale!

From among the clouds, a looming huge body appeared again.

Li Nuo took a swift step forward, grabbed Cha Bai's waist, pulled her behind him and protected her with his body, and then looked at the whale below with a heavy gaze.

This scene was seen by Mrs. Dolos, and she said in a calm tone: The island whale is a kind of spiritual plankton. It will chase things that make it feel strange. Obviously, there is something among the three of you. The secret caught the attention of the Island Whale, maybe it was the secret key...

If the secret key will make the Island Whale regard it as a target, then it is better for you to keep it.

Dolos turned around and threw down a key.

The spare escape boat is on the lower level. Let's go.

The aunt turned back and stared at Li Nuo.

According to the agreement, you and I will cooperate. We will go to the mining town in a few days. Then I will give you the items in the treasure map. When you are ready, we will set off to Icarus together.

Marger picked up the key and ran over first.

Cha Bai looked at the whale that was protruding from the clouds, his eyes moved slightly, and his hand was held by Li Nuo.

Don't be stunned! You can't beat this!

Wait...Li Nuo...this...

Footsteps sounded intensively inside the airship. In every area they passed, they could see the group of grown men who usually looked dumbfounded, but now they all had a different look.

Dolos's voice came from the loudspeaker: Children, activate the wind wall and drive north! The thief will not escape! Let's go treasure hunting!

Marger stepped into the flying ship placed in the cabin below.

At this time, Li Nuo hugged Chabai, threw her into the back seat, and then jumped to the co-pilot next to Marjie.

Li Nuo: Can you operate it?

Marger: Huh, it's hard to say.

Li Nuo: Huh?

Marger stepped on the throttle made of wooden boards, and the hull started, floated slightly, and then rushed out of the gap under the engine room.

He ran towards the cold wind and bleak moonlight again.

Chabai sat in the back seat, lifted her hair that was blown by the wind, and looked at the airship.

This was the first time she had seen an aerial vehicle of this shape. The airship not only had a main airbag filled with levitation gas, but also a main wing, a horizontal tail and a vertical tail. It also had a propeller on the top to provide lift and a propeller on the top to provide powerful thrust. There are also weapon turrets installed on the sides.

But its shape is rounder and cuter than that of a military airship.

At this time, the island whale changed its direction and turned towards Li Nuo and the others.

Dolos's airship fired a flare like a firework, attracting the attention of the island whale.

At this time, the pressure on the surface of the airship's wing suddenly decreases, the air expands and the temperature decreases, steam condenses, and fog is produced.

Then he sped away from here.

Marjie also drove the floating boat through the clouds and came to the sky above the endless plateau.

Cha Bai looked at the remaining black spots of the Sky Pirate airship under the moonlight and sighed: It seems that Madaha's team is actually very efficient.

Li Nuo said: Dolos looks rude, but she should be a knowledgeable person. The equipment she owns is very advanced, her weather analysis and aviation knowledge are quite rich, and she also has a good way of managing her subordinates. Yes, when she encounters danger, she knows how to delegate authority, and she directly lets her subordinates solve the problem on their own. Appropriate delegation of authority is an excellent quality for a leader.

Cha Bai asked: How do you know she has excellent weather analysis skills? You don't know...

I didn't steal anything. Li Nuo explained, The cabin is filled with weather reports marked with her signature.

Chabai breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Nuo continued: She is a pirate, and her greed for money and treasures is her weakness, but the good news is...she is not a bad person.

Skyboats, treasures, sky pirates...

Li Nuo pointed his gaze at the sky. The plankton in the air that had been attracted by the [Focuser] dispersed the soul corridor-like bridge and scattered under the night sky like stars.

The huge body of the island whale disappeared into the clouds.

He didn't know why a cartoon like Castle in the Sky would become a script, but thinking about it... maybe there were many games that he had never seen in the world of Castle in the Sky.

Sauron also once said that he had gone to a script he had never seen before.

Cha Bai squeezed into the middle of the two seats, and her titanium-white hair tickled Li Nuo. He turned around and touched his nose because of the itching.

Is it time to cut my hair? Li Nuo said. He is a fan of short hair.

I want to wear my hair in a bun. Chabai replied absently, and then asked seriously: The strength of the players in 'Corridor of the Sky' is much higher than that of 'Endless Corridor', so this script should be difficult, right?

It should be. Li Nuo said: We are invaders. The criterion for judging an invader is to be 10 to 15 higher than the player level of the script, but the level of 'Brupp' is 58. In addition, what I found There is at least one person with a higher level than me, which means that the players who were originally in the script were unable to complete the mission, so high-level players from the same guild like Brupp were recruited.

Cha Bai: In other words, there is no possibility of cooperation. At the same time, the other party has an entire guild as its backing. Moreover, the actual difficulty of the script task is much higher than we imagined.

Li Nuo consoled him: Okay~ It's been a long time since we put exploration as the first element in a script. Let's just relax this time. Moreover, there is a saying that 'pick out the cake on the ground and pick out the thief on the opposite side', let's go One step at a time, at least this time I have Brother Shou behind me to help.

Chen Shou faced the screen: [Hey~]

Marjie: Tell Chen Shou that there are electric Mewtwo aircraft cups in my maintenance room. If he is bored, he can take two away.

Chen Shou faced the screen: [... (Awesome)]

Then, Li Nuo told them what the mining town and Chen Shou said.

In addition, Chabai once again described an experience of his own.

Her identity was a war orphan. She got a VIP ticket through a lottery and got into the VIP room of the train.

As for the secret key... it was actually not discovered by her, but carried by an archaeological old man. The old man was killed by a player from the Corridor of the Sky who came over. Chabai killed that player again, following that The player found the key hidden by the old man in the corner of his attention, and happened to pick it up... This kind of routine full of misunderstandings and coincidences only exists for people with the protagonist's physique...

Li Nuo verified an idea. There was trouble within the military, which resulted in them having to use unfair means to seize the secret key.

In short, after the story of Cyberpunk, Li Nuo did not intend to get involved in any political struggle. It would be too annoying and easy to get involved in it.

According to the information currently available, the secret key corresponds to Icarus.

The players of Corridor of the Sky and Lady Doros both have a kind of gravel from the sea, which will glow when it is close to the secret key.

It can be verified that Icarus should be in the sea.

If you think about it more deeply, this is called finding a needle in a haystack.

On the bright side, there is a thin brother.

Let go and think about it, forget it, the world is open, why not collect useful upgrades everywhere first.

Li Nuo thought like this, took a look at the [Inferior Book of Brigades], and then closed the book in disappointment...

The level of the killed players was all above 35, and their skills were not very strong... It was of little use to steal books. The most useful one was a [Restoration Technique], which was... Li Nuo carried a large amount of potions and materials for making potions. There are many things in it that can restore vitality, such as [chestnut wine], [high-grade pure white Rafad decoction (instantly restores more than 50% of blood volume, can only be used once in the script)], and [improved sedative] .

And Cha Bai will restore the magic.

There is also an inheritance of equipment for killing prey.

To put it simply... Only now did Li Nuo realize that he had been carrying incredible equipment along the way...

The price of having blood on your hands is that only one inherited equipment item is of any use.

[Alchemist’s Magnifying Glass]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effectiveness: Use it in conjunction with the alchemy book of this world view. Under certain circumstances (such as learning everything that can be learned), new content in the alchemy book will be unlocked]

[Brief description: After half a year of tail travel planning, Xiao Ming finally fascinated the teacher in the toilet on a rainy night. He took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the teacher’s hidden corners. Early the next morning, he unlocked the alchemy of shit and piss.” Sphincter Sellers]

Despite that damn brief description, this is a very ordinary-looking magnifying glass that can be purchased at any grocery store.

From the Effect description column, you can learn a key message. This prop is something that players in Corridor of the Sky get in this scenario, and it corresponds to the unlocking function of alchemy.

With this plug-in Skinny Brother, Li Nuo vaguely felt that he would achieve something academically...

At the same time, Chen Shouzheng outside the screen was recording Li Nuo's behavior on his tablet.

Although Chen Shou did not dare to rehearse scripts with them, he still wanted to learn from Gao Wan.

On the screen, in everyone's eyes, there was a full moon in the sky and stars in the Milky Way.

The propeller in front of the flying ship rolled up a layer of mist.

Then, on the plain, the lights of the town came into their sight.

Marger raised his hand and snapped his fingers: That's the mining town, right?

Li Nuo nodded.

There is thick smoke rising into the sky from the town, and you can also smell a strong smell of coal. There is even anti-magic ore (from The Witcher) that Li Nuo is familiar with.

It's here, but there's a problem, Marger said.

Li Nuo smiled: Ha... I probably guessed it... Isn't it a good thing?

Marjie nodded: No, brake.

That night, a meteor flashed across the sky and crashed into a house in the center of the mining town...

Outside the screen, Chen Shou had blue veins on his face. With a hard finger, he accidentally cracked the screen of his tablet computer.

The world of high-end games... I can't understand...

This sentence reached the screen and Li Nuo's ears.

Cha Bai sat on the hammer, floating in the air, grabbed Li Nuo with his floating hand, pulled him to his side, hugged him, and then landed firmly on the ground.

Cha Bai pulled out Marjie, whose shield was shattered, from the ruins of the roof of the house, lowered his head and whispered: Marjie...I'm sorry...I thought you had a way to get down...

Marger picked up the debris from the roof and muttered: I do have a way...but something just made me feel strange and distracted...

They stood on the roof, and some townspeople looked over. Li Nuo and Cha Bai jumped into the hole in the roof first and entered the room.

Li Nuo looked around. This was a three-story wooden building.

European style.

The interior is dark.

There was the smell of kerosene, and there were gears turning and soldering irons baking in the stove.

If you smell it carefully, there is a smell like a pig farm.

Hmph, found it.

Marger jumped down, dusted himself off, and held the floating stone found in the flying ship in his hand.

If you guessed it correctly, the fundamental reason why all airships and sky trains can travel in the air is this stone.

【Floating Stone】

[Type: Building Materials]

[Effect: A strange stone that can pull things flying into the air after being burned by the heat]

[Brief description: Have you seen it]

Marjie crushed the stone, and blue powder was scattered inside. He stretched out his hand and said, Miss Chabai, show me your floating hand.

Cha Bai took off her arm and handed it to him.

After several glances, Marger said: The first time I saw this powder was in Night City in 2076, and then I and Mr. Victor used this thing to make a floating hand. The second time, it was After the racing competition, after getting the drawings of the Cairo star’s racing car, I saw a certain material description in the drawings.”

Li Nuo turned his head and widened his eyes: What do you mean...

Marjie returned his arm to Chabai, holding the fine pieces of floating stone, and said, This thing belongs to the people of Cairo.

Li Nuo was stunned.

It shouldn't be... How come there are traces of Cairo Stars in the 'Corridor of the Sky'?

Hmph, the world view is going to expand?

While the two were talking, Chabai stared at the stairs.

There were footsteps.

Who are you? A deep and steady man's voice came from the stairs.

Then, they saw the people coming up from the stairs.

It was a pig wearing a shabby brown coat and long military boots, holding a handgun, holding a cigar, wearing sunglasses, and walking on two feet like a human.
