Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 111 Bloody Mary (Thanks to all readers for their tips in the 18th update)

"If nothing else, this should be a detective."

"On that night when I went to the old city, maybe I was noticed by this detective, so I felt like I was being spied on."

"Moreover, at that time, he had already reached the second-level profession, which gave me a vague sense of threat from [the devil]."

"Could it be...that this guy's profession is [Devil Detective]?"

If this was really the profession, Chen Ye would have to be cautious about it.

Among all the second-job occupations...

[Devil Detective] and [Devil Cooker] belong to the same echelon. While they are both functional professions, they also have good combat capabilities.

Both have [Devil] sequence combat abilities.

But the difference is...

[Devil Cooker] has the ability to process devil ingredients among its combat characteristics, and can exert a certain degree of restraint on occupations that are also in the [Devil] sequence.

"No wonder I felt the threat of being watched by the devil that day. Detective and devil, huh, is this a profession where the suspect is found and executed on the spot?"

"However, this feeling has disappeared since I merged into a second-level profession."

"This is because [Devil Cooker] has the ability to restrain [Demon]. If it is not a higher-order [Demon], it can only be regarded as a dish on the plate at most."

"If we have an encounter with that guy, my characteristics will give me an advantage."

"However, [Detective]'s information intelligence capabilities are far stronger than [Chef]. Although the conflict between players is not so obvious at present, if it develops to a later stage, there will often be a battle, and they will be fully prepared in advance. [Detectives] can use characteristics similar to profiling to know the other party’s information and then take action against them.”

"Furthermore...compared to other detective professions, [Devil Detective] can also sacrifice to certain beings to obtain the desired intelligence information in extraordinary ways."

Chen Ye couldn't help but think of the gray air masses that kept hitting him when he first entered the store.

But this thing... is not a [Devil]... it has no entity...

It's not like the characteristic ability that the [Devil] sequence can produce.

Unless... this demon detective has more characteristics than just this profession.

He can also control invisible beings.

If this is the case, even if you have the characteristics to restrain the [Devil] sequence, you must be extremely careful.

Chen Ye crossed his arms, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said:

"Yes, I do have such an item on my person, but why did I agree to the transaction?"

"The exchange of characteristic items for characteristic items is at best equivalent, and obviously, your boss and I are competitors."

"Although this thing is indeed useful to me, if I give him what he wants, wouldn't it also pose a threat to me?"

"As for the exchange of characteristic items...he should know that I have a good reputation on the public screen. If I post my requirements, I should still be able to find what I want. Since I can definitely find better options, why should I let the most threatening Are sexual competitors profiting?”

"The boss expected that you would use such rhetoric..."

With a soft eyebrow, Mizi sighed, seeming to be tired of this tedious job. She lowered her head and pulled out another piece of paper, glanced at it, and then said:

"The boss seems to be very confident in the goods in his hand, which shows that in the entire City of Destiny, this is the only item that best suits your career path. By the way, let me add one more thing, he is very bored with this list battle, And he has no interest in inheriting this month's talent. As for this paradise and this pollution, he has other things he wants to get more, and there may be opportunities for cooperation..."

After Mizi finished reading, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed to be a very difficult task to convey such a long and complicated sentence fluently.

Chen Ye was silent for a moment.

Then, he turned around and wrote a sentence in the third line of rules——

[Diners entering this store need to be honest and truthful, otherwise they will be punished by being eaten. 】

After the third rule was written, the gilt font on it glowed with golden light.

This shows that this rule is in effect.

At the same time, as Chen Ye's mind moved slightly, four new words appeared on the plaque above the door of the store -

【Integrity Restaurant】

Chen Ye opened the store door and said with a smile:

"Now, I think we can come in and chat!"

…………

Half an hour later.

Chen Ye's shop has an extra row of wooden tables and stools, and in the center of the table is a glass wine glass filled with blood-colored liquid.

The tables and stools here come from the characteristics of the "parasitic land deed". Since the real estate has become a part of Chen Ye's body, the decoration here can be changed with just a thought.

At this time, Chen Ye's mind was recalling the conversation he had with Mi Zi after entering the store.

The information exchanged before was exchanged again and confirmed to be true.

Including that the boss is not interested in ranking competition...

Chen Ye had already guessed the identity of the other party, and it was most likely Bai Chen.

The characteristic of [Detective] can gain strange value when digging out secret information or making correct analysis.

At present, Chen Ye feels that this city is indeed full of secrets.

Why start the list?

Why do all players get new identities after arriving?

Why is it called the City of Destiny? Where did these copies come from? Why is the Xijiang River polluted? What about the large public copies...

Many questions were lingering in Chen Ye's mind. He would not simply believe that this was just a game.

So, who made the rules behind them, and what is their purpose?

Chen Ye is also aware of these problems, so this is one of the reasons why he would consider cooperating with the detective...

certainly.

As for what the person said that he was not interested in the battle for the list, Chen Ye didn't believe it entirely.

After all, this was what the "boss" asked Yako to repeat. She just said it according to the content, and there was no issue of integrity or untruthfulness.

But Chen Ye changed the question. He asked Mizi: "Do you think that the boss said that he is not interested? Does it come from the bottom of his heart?"

At that time, Yako hesitated. In fact, if she didn't want to lie, she could avoid this question.

But Mizi thought for a while, nodded and said: "I think he is sincere."

It didn't violate the rules of the store, and it didn't trigger the "punishment of being eaten", which meant that she really thought so.

From Mizi's perspective, the "boss" really has no interest in competing for the list.

Under the rules of the store, Yako has confirmed that her identity is indeed a strange aboriginal, and in her eyes, players should be outsiders... She will not gain trust in such a short time, and can be more objective and rational. Treat with attitude.

To be honest, when facing players at the top of the rankings, Chen Ye would be more cautious and careful. But he did not completely refuse any contact. After all, there are many unsolved mysteries in this city of destiny, which can turn into a devastating disaster at any time and pose a threat to all players.

Under the condition of common interests and survival needs, there may not be no opportunities to cooperate with other players.

"Oh, but this guy is really good at business."

Chen Ye stared at the Bloody Mary in the glass and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Yes, items with such characteristics can indeed be integrated with [Wandering Musician].

But not immediately...

It's the same material for the second career change.

Currently, due to the lack of a necessary characteristic condition, Bloody Mary cannot be absorbed for the time being.

Bloody Mary is a kind of psychedelic property. It seems to be the signature drink of a coffee shop. However, if you drink it rashly, it is extremely addictive. Once you stop swallowing it, you will feel extremely uncomfortable. If you take it for a long time, you will lose your self-awareness. From then on he became a controlled puppet.

Although Chen Ye is indeed not at a loss, it is obvious that the "boss" can enjoy the new characteristics and abilities given by the fusion of [Giant's Neck Meat] more quickly.

And Chen Ye still has to look hard for another material to achieve the second transformation of "Wandering Musician".

In this transaction, the "boss" seems to be making more money.

but……

What Miko said is right.

The glazed light emitted by Bloody Mary is extremely bright. Although the previous special items have a similar luster, most of them cannot compare with it.

When he raised his wine glass, a faint line of colored glass extended along the door of the store, forming a slowly flowing torrent of energy at the front of his field of vision, seemingly guiding the direction of the remaining materials.

The corners of his mouth curled up:

"Although I didn't get new characteristics right away, [Wandering Musician]'s second turn is starting to look promising!"

Just follow the direction of the glass and look for it...

Perhaps, it won't take long before we can find the materials to promote [Wandering Musician] to a second job.

[Wanderer] As the natal profession drawn at the beginning, what kind of second transformation can be integrated...

Chen Ye has more expectations for this!

noon.

The blood mist completely receded, and the streets of the paradise became deserted again, with only a few numb figures wandering around like lonely souls.

Even the giant blood-colored eyes from that day have disappeared. Except for the hazy blood-colored curtains covering the surrounding shops, everything else is no different from the usual pedestrian street.

Chen Ye confirmed that there was no danger. He immediately opened the store door and left the paradise in the direction pointed by the glazed lines...
