Chapter 10. Into the deep mountains to inspect the laboratory, Li Weiji met Asura for the first time

Can a bow without arrows work?

In reality, it certainly can't.

There is a solution in the game.

After some experiments, Li Weiji found that the engraved icon on the original longbow could be moved by mind, as long as the skill icon you wanted to use was moved to the center of the longbow and the bowstring was pulled, the arrow would be automatically generated. Also, depending on the skill used, the arrows spawned will be different. For example, the arrows spawned by [Long Range Shot] are very ordinary, but the arrows spawned by [Close Range] have arrows that look heavy.

This setting of making something out of nothing is not very clever, but at least it solves the embarrassment of having no arrows available in battle.

After understanding this setting, Li Weiji came to the big tree several times [long-range shooting], and the arrow hit the circle. In addition to being happy, he used [Close Flat Shot] on the target next to him, and after knocking the target away, he realized that the [Close Flat Shot] icon had turned gray. Based on previous game experience, this should be a skill cooldown. Li Weiji hurriedly counted the seconds, and the icon of [Close Horizontal Shot] gradually brightened, and after fourteen or fifteen seconds, the icon returned to normal.

"It seems that [long-range shooting] is a basic skill and has no cooldown. The cooldown time of [Close Quarters Shot] is about 15 seconds. ”

Li Weiji memorized this data.

After solving the problem of arrows, Li Weiji naturally turned his attention to the Falling Rock Falls. Ever since he got Alicia's wooden bow, he has been holding several questions on his mind. However, there was no way to answer these questions at all, and all the information he had obtained so far pointed to Lingbao. There's no reason not to check out the game at Falling Rock Falls.

The rockfall falls are beautiful, the afternoon sun is mild, and the occasional dandelion flies in front of you dotted with green mountains and green waters.

Walking on the mountain path, the weeds and flowers are swaying in the wind. Looking up at the front, it is estimated that you will be able to walk for another five or six minutes to reach the upper reaches of the Falling Rock Waterfall, Li Weiji sorted out the wooden longbow on his back, stopped for a while, and prepared to climb to the top in one go.

"It's quite high. If it were to be changed to reality, I would have been too tired to give up. I have always felt that it was a foolish act for the ancients to climb high and look far away, but today I am in a high place to appreciate the joy of broadening my horizons and seeing all living beings. ”

Li Weiji leaned on the mossy green mountains and boulders, looked back at the long road ahead, and muttered to himself.

A small lizard climbed onto his shoulder, and the Seraph's high-level armor became a reliable place to stay. The little lizard stuck out its tongue and licked its bulging eyeball, which rolled to focus on the throbbing worm in the moss.

Unaware that it was facing a life-and-death trial, the fat hopper still bounced and nibbled on the tenderest moss.

Li Weiji suddenly became playful, and he was eager to see if he could interrupt the lizard's predation. To achieve his goal, he stared at the baby lizard with wide eyes, trying to judge the timing of its attack by its movements.

A minute and a half passed, Li Weiji's spirit was sluggish, and he had to blink, the little lizard seemed to have spirituality, his tongue swallowed, and the fat worm entered his stomach.

The little lizard ate a bug beautifully, and it looked sideways at Li Weiji, as if deliberately provocatively showing a small smile.

Of course, Li Weiji knew that the lizard couldn't smile, and the smiling face was just an illusion caused by the arc of the lizard's mouth. However, he was still a little unconvinced, and he lost this game a little unjustly.

Fortunately, there are still many worms in the moss, and he still has a chance.

Changing the previous strategy of staring, Li Weiji blinked much more frequently. As long as his eyes weren't tired, he was sure he could see the lizard's movements.

In fact, he did see it clearly.

The tongue of the baby lizard catapults, sticking to the jumping worm and retracting into the mouth.

In front of Li Weiji, the little lizard chewed, and insect juice splashed.

"Interesting. The tongue burst out like a cannonball, but there was still room to retract the tongue. There is indeed a lot to be gained in this kind of subtle mastery. It's a hunting instinct, but I don't have to learn it for myself. ”

Li Weiji put away his contempt and thought seriously.

Under his watchful eye, the little lizard successfully ate five more bugs.

"So, you're going to lean forward when you're hunting." Li Weiji seemed to be chatting with the little lizard, "This is not a good habit. Because ......"

As soon as he said the word because of the two words, Li Weiji's shoulders shook and trembled, and the little lizard's tongue spit out and swallowed, and it chewed naturally, but there was nothing in its mouth.

The little lizard didn't understand, this was obviously a must-hit blow, why did it fail?

What the little lizard didn't understand, Li Weiji naturally knew it.

Hunting is instinct, trembling is calculation.

Instinctively driven, the lizard's tongue must be a bug.

With the help of calculations, the tremor of the shoulders coincided with the lizard.

When a baby lizard attacks a bug, shake its shoulders and distance it slightly from the bug.

When the lizard retracts its tongue, it shakes its shoulders and immediately restores the distance between it and the bug.

These two small movements were short and swift, and from the lizard's point of view, the distance between it and the insect did not change at all, but its attack was ineffective.

Looking at the little insects jumping in the moss, Li Weiji smiled slightly, he held the little lizard, put it on the flat place of the big stone, and ran quickly to the upper reaches of the waterfall.

Li Weiji's mood is much better.

During this momentary break, I was just trying to amuse the lizard, but I accidentally learned a little bit about the skills of power control. This technique is not a skill, but it can play a subtle role in combat.

In a good mood, the pace also felt brisk, and in less than three or five minutes, Li Weiji came to the upper reaches of the waterfall.

Unlike the rushing waterfalls, the water upstream trickles and is long and long. The huge round lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and the dam rises around the lake, the dam is as high as tens of meters, and it has the grandeur of cutting off the clouds and rain of Wushan Mountain and the high gorge out of the Ping Lake.

"I didn't expect this place to be so vast, if I had known about it, I should have been close to Isara first, and inquired about the specific location of the Lingbao Laboratory."

Although Li Weiji said this, his hands were not idle, he took a wooden bow and skillfully drew a circle on the ground, recalled the direction of the quagmire town, and marked the four directions of southeast, west, and northwest on the periphery of the circle.

"The circle is the lake. Rockfall falls are on the north side of the lake, and the town of the mud pool should be visible over the mountains to the east. To the south is the source of the lake, surrounded by a dam that is almost impossible to approach unless it is found in a different way. The west side is the same as the east side, it is a mountain ......"

Li Weiji used words to enhance his memory, and at the same time dipped his index finger in saliva and placed it vertically in the air, and after a few moments, he did the same, and after repeating it five times, he drew a few wisps of fresh wind on the west side of the simple map.

"In terms of ventilation requirements, it is more likely that Lingbao will build the laboratory to the west. However, from the perspective of lighting, it is more likely to be from the east. ”

The longbow gestured on the map, and Li Weiji hesitated. If it were a normal situation, he could have searched both sides of the east and west, but the welcome dinner did not wait for anyone, and he did not have much time left, so he could only choose a specific direction to explore.

Sitting in front of the simple map, Li Weiji put his hands against the tip of the longbow and rubbed his fists repeatedly.

"What else is missing? Lingbao should be built in a biological laboratory, what are the special requirements for biological laboratories? ”

Li Weiji is eager to be able to directly connect to the neuronal network to find relevant information, but unfortunately, the game has banned this feature. In the login platform, players can connect to a network of neurons to browse any open content. Once in the game, the web browsing function is completely locked. Because many of the puzzles in the game have hints on the Internet, if the web browsing function is opened, these puzzles will lose their meaning.

"It seems that we have to start from our old business. Maybe the game will make Lingbao build a unique laboratory for the sake of the beauty of the scene. ”

Li Weiji had little attainment in architecture and biology, so he decisively switched his line of thinking.

Looking at it from afar, the mountains on the east side of the lake are undulating and orderly, and the peaks of the mountains are covered with snow, like a row of sharp teeth; To the west, the mountains are gentle and wooded, more like upside-down pots.

"Upside-down pots?" Inspiration strikes, "There are drainage holes at the bottom of each pot. If the pot is upside down, won't the drainage hole become a skylight that can let in light? ”

Thinking of this, Li Weiji immediately decided to run towards the west of the lake.

Fifteen minutes later, the effort paid off, he found the mountain with the skylight, and after a little fumbling around the mountain, he found the entrance hidden in the weeds.

The entrance is U-shaped, and a steel plate floor drain is added at the bottom of the U-shape for drainage. This simple and practical design made Li Weiji applaud, of course, he praised not only Lingbao, but also the game "Guild Wars". These small designs are unreasonable at first glance, but they are particularly vivid when you think about it.

The U-shaped passage was low and narrow, and with Li Weiji's size, he could almost only squat and move forward, and after squatting for a few steps, it was really uncomfortable, so he simply knelt and crawled to move.

After climbing out of the U-shaped pipe, Li Weiji saw that it was a vertical steel pipe.

The steel pipe is connected to the underground, and the underground is the long-awaited Lingbao laboratory.

Sunlight enters the cave through a gap in the top of the mountain, and the walls are covered with dense, fragmentary lenses that reflect the entire cave to enjoy the light, but it also makes the cave extremely hot.

Li Weiji, who was in mid-air, had a panoramic view of the entire laboratory, and estimated it with reference to the height ratio, the laboratory was square, about 30 meters long, and was divided into nine squares by a rough low wooden fence.

"Good. This layout is clear and unambiguous, and the bottom of the steel pipe can be used as the first grid in the upper left corner of the plane nine-square grid. Li Weiji marked the grid with a number in his heart, "The second grid seems to be a living area, with food and beds, and it seems that the sunlight in this location is not strong." The third side of the bed is a book and literature, and the side against the wall is a toy, it should be a toy, it seems that there is a wooden horse or something...... I didn't expect this guy to be quite good at enjoying life. It's just that this bed and Trojan horse are a little, a bit like children's products, are they for Isara? ”

"Then there's the fourth block, and it's dimly lit, so you can't see what's there. Then there's the fifth cell in the center, where the light isn't bright enough to see only cow-like machines running in place. ”

"The sixth grid is well-lit, this one is paved with pebbles, and there are six large iron buckets, like six cakes of mahjong tiles."

"The seventh grid, the angle is not good, I can only vaguely see some test tubes, and I need to go down to the laboratory to do another exploration."

"The eighth grid is a deep pool with schools of small fish swimming. The ninth cell is the most well-lit and has many plants, mainly small yellow flowers. ”

Li Weiji repeatedly silently recited what he saw, and when he silently recited it for the third time, a hoarse voice amplified by a megaphone came from all directions: "Friend, do you remember the directions?" ”

This sentence echoed repeatedly in the cave, and it was difficult for Li Weiji to judge the source of the sound at once.

Discovered?

How was it discovered?

I didn't make any moves.

Li Weiji was still hesitating, and the hoarse voice came again: "Lying in such a small hole, aren't you tired, why don't you come down and drink a glass of soft mud wine." ”

It seemed that it had indeed been discovered, and no longer hesitated, Li Weiji slid down the steel pipe into the laboratory.

When he got off the ground, he felt much brighter around him.

"Come to the second square, the ooze is already ready for you."

Li Weiji walked to the second grid, and a glass of green liquid was placed in front of the small sofa between the bed and the dining table.

"Don't be afraid, I brewed the ooze with care. The alcohol made from rotten grapes, coupled with a whole cleaned soft mud monster, soaked for 7749 days, the taste is extremely mellow. ”

It's a bit of a feeling of being fiddled with, but Li Weiji still picks up the soft mud wine and drinks it all.

Not to mention, this thing sounds disgusting, and it tastes even more uncomfortable.

"One, two, three, spit!"

Li Weiji really vomited on the ground.

"You're obedient." The hoarse voice laughed, "Obedience is the only way to live long." In order to prevent people from breaking in, I set up poison gas in this laboratory. If you don't drink this wine, you may have started to have convulsions and tinnitus by now. So, can you help me clean up your vomit? That was my bedroom and dining room, after all. ”

Picking up a broom and taking advantage of the opportunity to clean, Li Weiji looked carefully, trying to find the source of the sound, but found nothing.

"Very good, very good, very good." The hoarse voice looked excited, as if it was about to jump on the spot, "Actually, I didn't have poison gas at all, because I couldn't afford to buy the materials to make it. For the sake of your obedience, you can play with the Trojan horse now. ”

Li Weiji stepped over the wooden fence and sat on the wooden horse in the third block.

"Are you wondering where I am? Don't think about it, I'm in your eyes, in your heart, in your head. I'm your lingering nightmare! As if reading the lines, the hoarse and empty voice muttered quickly, as if to move the atmosphere in the direction of a horror movie. After a moment, his hoarse voice suddenly became sharp, and he laughed maniacally, exclaiming, "I'm joking." Actually, I just want you to shake the Trojan horse up. Shake it! ”

The buttocks were lightly next to the Trojan horse, and his toes swayed, and Li Weiji shook the Trojan horse.

The sharp voice turned hoarse again: "I've killed many intruders, and your patience is better than theirs. You've made the right choice, because the Trojan controls the heat-sensing laser cannon on the wall, and if you don't shake the Trojan ten times, the laser will shoot you through. Thank you quickly. Say, thank you. ”

"Thank you." Li Weiji responded in a flat tone.

"No!" "I want you to say these two words with enthusiasm and gratitude." ”

Li Weiji adjusted his voice and said gratefully: "These two words." ”

The hoarse voice calmed down: "You have become disobedient. This is not a good sign. However, I will not be angry, and I will always be magnanimous in my kindness. To give you another chance, go to the 6th square, choose one of the 6 iron buckets, turn on its faucet, and drink three sips of what comes out. ”

Li Weiji deliberately walked very slowly, and he asked softly, "Can I know in advance what's in the iron bucket?" ”

"Huh. Of course, if you don't mind, I can tell you. One of the six iron buckets is pure water. The other five barrels are, sticky tar, stinky cow dung, human and horse blood, dragon lizard urine, and scale and claw powder. ”

Pacing back and forth on the cobblestones, Li Weiji tried to identify the contents of the iron buckets by their appearance, but the appearance of the six iron buckets was neat and tidy, and there was nothing unusual about them.

Li Weiji asked, "Are you allowed to beat the iron bucket to judge?" ”

In a hoarse voice, he replied, "Just try." ”

Knock on the buckets one by one, and the sound from these buckets is exactly the same.

"Isn't it strange why the feedback sounds the same?" The hoarse voice came to the interest, "Because they are not the same thickness." Count down the seconds, and if you don't make a choice, look overhead. ”

Overhead, a huge burlap bag crumbles.

"Five. Four ......"

Before waiting for the countdown to three seconds, Li Weiji directly wrapped the faucet of the first iron bucket in his right hand with his mouth and unscrewed it. No matter what came out of the dragon's head, he swallowed three times, got up and said, "What's next?" ”

"I didn't expect you to pick the right one, it seems that you are quite lucky. Then there will be nothing to do, and I have decided to give you a way out. You are very obedient, I am very happy today, you can go back the way you came. ”

Li Weiji shook his head, he unscrewed the faucet next to him, and the pure water flowed freely.

"There's a saying in my hometown that villains die of talking."

Li Weiji turned off the two faucets again, and said slowly: "Ever since you found me, I've been pretending to look around, as if looking for your location. Not really! I'm wondering how you found me. When I was rocking the Trojan horse, I figured out that the lenses can reflect the sunlight, and of course everything in the cave, and you naturally found me through the reflection of the lenses. ”

Li Weiji waved his hand, as if greeting an old friend. Thousands of broken lenses on the walls of the cave reflect thousands of him.

"But you can see my every move through the mirror, but I can't see you through the mirror. This means that you are in a very clever position, and there is no light source in this position that does not expose you. ”

Falling back to the third 3rd square, Li Weiji flipped the little wooden horse over and said, "This is a simple toy wooden horse." There are no laser cannons, just as there is no poison gas. From the very beginning, you have been bluffing, but your skills are very clever, lying and exposing your lies, so repeatedly, people can't figure out which of your words is true and which is false, and you can only be led by the nose. ”

Li Weiji's eyes brightened: "I was indeed confused by you at the beginning. However, one thing I noticed while rocking the Trojan horse is that most of the books you read are about morality. Is the homicidal maniac trying to find inner peace from a moral perspective? Or do you have a lot of moral contradictions in your experiments that you need to unravel from these books? Either way, it at least shows that you are extremely uneasy inside. Knowing that, I calmed down. ”

Turning out a copy of "Critique of Pure Reason" from the pile of books, Li Weiji took the book to the second grid, and said calmly and objectively: "How many days and nights, you have sat on this simple little sofa and opened this book in the faint light. Your heart is turbulent, your emotions rise and fall with the subtle words in the book, and you can't control your impulses, so you have to use soft mud wine to release the pressure. You're smart, but you're not strong, and you have too few resources, so you can only use a few tricks against me. ”

Putting the book on the small sofa, Li Weiji stared at the corner of the first grid, and said softly: "The first grid, the starting point that is most likely to be ignored." You take advantage of your size to hide behind steel pipes, in the corner with the sun's back. Now, can you meet me? ”

"Why not." With a light and clean voice, the short figure stepped out of the shadows, "You are wiser than I thought. ”

"You ......" Li Weiji was a little speechless, through the U-shaped entrance, small bed, small sofa, and small wooden horse, he had long determined that Lingbao was very short, but he didn't expect Lingbao to be another intelligent life form entirely.

The strange-looking Lingbao swaggered in front of Li Weiji: "As a commander, haven't you seen Asura?" ”

Li Weiji shook his head and said, "For the first time in my life." ”

Lingbao lay down comfortably on his small sofa and said slowly, "You are right about a lot of things. However, there is one thing you misjudged, look back. ”

Li Weiji turned around, and a laser shone on his head.

"I really have a laser cannon here." Lingbao turned over and said, "But the energy consumption is huge, so I won't let you see it today." ”

The laser disappeared, and Li Weiji turned to look at Lingbao, the little man who was picking his feet with his back to him.

"Can you please pay attention to your own image."

"I'm in my own home."

Li Weiji had nothing to say.

Lingbao said, "Since you have passed my test, then I can tell you everything you want to know." But don't expect me to help you destroy the monsters. It's mutated, and I'm helpless. ”

Li Weiji pondered for a moment and said, "Do you like Isara very much?" ”

"Loved it. She's nice and she's been nice to me. ”

"So you want her to live. So when you know that the queen will send a commander to support the town of Quagmire, you give this information to Alicia, and you even help her build a bed. ”

"Not only that, but I actually guided her to seduce you."

"Listening to your tone, it seems to be very proud, and it seems to be very unhappy."

Lingbao continued to turn his back to Li Weiji, and said with a little hesitation: "It's a good thing to save people, and I arranged it properly." From my personal point of view, losing a woman's virginity in exchange for a fresh life is a bargain. Nothing is worth more than life, right? ”

"Yes. Not right either. The value of life is difficult to measure, sometimes half a steamed bun is equal to a life, and sometimes a few carts of gold are equal to a life. For me, though, it's okay to pay for your life, as long as you don't pay someone else's price. ”

Lingbao turned to face Li Weiji: "I've seen this in your books. Just if you're right. ”

"I don't quite understand why you're obsessed with saving that girl, but since you have this idea, I'm willing to help you."

"How can I help?"

"Of course, it is to beat the centaurs and robbers to be afraid, so that they dare not jump into the thunder pool for half a step."

"Hmph. Ever since I arrived in the town of Quagmire, the war has not stopped. In the past three years, the Seraphs have lost countless warriors, and the result is only to sustain the death of your back and forth. Why do you dare to say such a thing? ”

Why? Of course, it's based on the common sense that the game won't arrange an unsolvable plot.。

But Li Weiji can't say that.

He stared at Lingbao and said calmly, "With your wisdom. ”

Lingbao snorted again, but stopped talking.

The only sound in the huge laboratory is the sound of robot cows running.

After a long time, Lingbao said, "Wisdom alone is not enough, but also force. I know there's someone who can help us. With her power and my scientific inventions, we might have a chance to win. But this man has a grudge against me, and you have to find a way to mediate the conflict between us. ”

Lingbao took out a book from the pile of books next to the bed: "The combat skills in this book may be useful to you. ”

Li Weiji took the book, and through the light reflected by the lens, he saw that the title of the book was "A Beginner's Guide to the Greatsword in the Land of Ashes and Whispers".

Without waiting for Li Weiji to turn the page, Lingbao climbed to his shoulder, pressed his ear and said, "Go to the fifth grid, what you have to do next will be a little painful." ”

Pain?

I haven't experienced any pain over the years.
