Chapter 41: Edward's Role
Normal main quests are only rewarded with 1,000 points.
Murphy scoffed, this point in return was not enough for three people.
In his opinion, instead of leaving an unstable factor for the sake of a mere 300 rewards, it is better not to take this risk, and the hidden mission reward this time is the most important thing.
"It's not enough, you should understand that 300 reincarnation points may be a good number for newcomers, but we who are here are not interested in the return of this number." Yun Qi shook his head.
"Then ......" Edward hesitated for a moment, seemingly reluctant, but between his own interests and his life, he finally made a choice, and took out a bunch of things as he spoke: "This is all my belongings." ”
A special forces bulletproof vest, an ordinary revolver, and a bunch of bottles and cans, I don't know what to do.
At first glance, it looks like a lot, but the real value will not exceed 1000 points, and considering Edward's true strength, it is understandable that there is a pile of useless garbage.
"It's just a pile of garbage, and it doesn't add up to the amount I paid you in advance. Yunqi, you won't be impressed by a pile of garbage, will you? Murphy sneered, even more disdainful of Edward.
"At least, he showed enough sincerity." Saying that, Yun Qi ignored the armor and weapons, but became interested in the bottles and cans, and picked them up casually.
[Molotov cocktail: Handmade, after throwing, it causes a piece of flame within a 1*1 range to burn for 10 seconds.] 】
[Weak Acid Etching Armor Bottle: Handmade, it causes a slight corrosive effect on the target's defense after throwing, reducing the defense by 5 points for 10 seconds, and the effect cannot be stacked. 】
[Anesthesia bottle: handmade, the anesthetic liquid improved with ** as the main material, is extremely volatile, causing direct coma to those with defensive attributes lower than 8, and varying degrees of vertigo effects if it is higher than 8 points. 】
"You did it yourself?" Yun Qi picked up the weak acid etching armor bottle and looked at it carefully.
Edward nodded.
"Looks like you've had an adventure since you left us."
Edward didn't dare to hide it, and told the truth.
In the world of special forces missions, because the main mission of killing the Neo snake demon was not completed, he was directly sent to a military base by the system, except for some military training, but there was nothing to do.
Edward, who had no extravagant expectations, accidentally touched a hidden mission during an operation and obtained a basic ability - potion development. Luckily, after returning to the initial space, when trying to make a potion, the innate ability - molecular modulation was activated.
A basic ability plus talent, plus he is a chemist himself, although he is not in the stream, but with the help of attribute bonuses, he suddenly surpasses most of the top level chemical researchers in the real world.
Edward briefly talked about the way he synthesized the potion, which was only concocted from materials that had been discarded by the reincarnated.
"What do you think?" Yun Qi asked, he took a fancy to the weak acid etched armor bottle at a glance, although the effect of reducing 5 points of defense was not outstanding, but considering that this mission was facing a group of monsters with at least first-order defense, 5 points of defense sometimes determined whether the defense could be broken or not.
"I'll see it." Sandru is a good talker.
Murphy was silent, clearly not pleased with the outcome.
Edward is also a person who sees opportunities, and knows that if he doesn't show his full strength at this time, he is afraid that he will never have a chance to stand out again. So he gritted his teeth and publicly showed his only skill to the three of them.
[Chemical Protection: D-level protection skill, creates an armor-form chemical protection for yourself or allies, resists certain elemental damage, and has no effect on physical damage.] 】
A very weak skill, or Edward in the special forces world participated in a chemical base to eliminate terrorist organizations, the skill scroll, it was also that eradication mission, he successfully obtained the basic ability of potion development.
Yun Qi also asked specifically: "Is the chemical armor effective against strong acid attacks?" ”
Edward nodded repeatedly.
"Since everyone has no opinion, I don't want to say much, but the ugly words are in the front, if he obediently follows behind and doesn't make trouble, I will go with you, once you make a move that harms everyone's interests, you will blame my subordinates for being ruthless."
Murphy finally compromised, I don't know if it was for the sake of the two of them, or because Edward still had the value of use.
Just when Edward thought the dust had settled, Yun Qi said in a surprising voice: "However, I am against it. ”
Everyone looked at Yun Qi with shocked eyes, and he, who had tried his best to protect Edward, a former comrade-in-arms, from the beginning, suddenly changed his tone and became an opponent, which made everyone unable to turn around for a while.
Yun Qi's face turned cold: "Although I admit that I am not a kind person, I am not a fickle person, and the reason why I oppose it is not with me, but with him." ”
As he spoke, he pointed at Edward: "Although you have been very sincere since then, you have hidden a very important matter from us. ”
Edward waved his hand vigorously and said, "I didn't lie to you! ”
"I didn't say you were lying, you just mentioned that there was a companion who entered here with you, and now what about the others?" Yun Qi said endlessly.
Edward: "This ...... We encountered...... Encountered......"
"You want to say that you were lucky to escape when you were ambushed by an alien and your companions were killed, right?" Yun Qi said.
This is indeed what Edward wants to say, but the problem is that as early as the last two missions, Edward knew that Yun Qi had the ability to distinguish lies, and concealment could be said to be his own omission, and deception was another matter.
"Tell me, you know you can't hide a lie from me." Yun Qi issued an ultimatum and pointed to a corner of Edward's clothes, only to be reminded that there was still a piece of slime on the corner.
"Alien slime!" Sandru recognized.
At this point, Edward knew that he had no choice, so he told everything one by one.
It turned out that after entering the underground pyramid, Edward and another reincarnation scurried around in a panic, and as a result, not long after he escaped from the Predator's pursuit, he was attacked by the aliens, and after the remaining stubborn companion was killed, Edward, who had low combat effectiveness, undoubtedly became a captive of the aliens, imprisoned in the hatchery, waiting to become a container for the alien larvae.
"Then how did you escape, the material that aliens use to bind people is not easy to break free." Yun Qi asked.
"I've made a breakdown drug that can easily break down a solid molecular structure." As he spoke, Edward took out an object.
[Dissolving powder: handmade, it can decompose all molecular structures composed of biological matrices. 】
Unexpectedly, Edward would have such a thing, and Yun Qi unceremoniously included this bottle with small pink particles of dissolving powder in the coat of arms, along with several other valuable chemical bottles.
Sandru looked at Edward with suspicion: "If you didn't kill your companion, why did you deliberately hide it?" ”
But Yun Qi helped him excuse him: "He was afraid that we would think that he was implanted by the larval eggs of the face-hugging worm, and refused to protect him." ”
Edward said again and again that he was very clear about his catties, not to mention that the psychedelic he had just created made the three of them almost kill each other, but if he really faced the dangerous underground pyramid alone, the hope of surviving was almost zero.
Now that it's hard to see your own people, wouldn't it be a joke with your life if you don't pat your thighs.
"You saved everyone just now, so it's up to you to get the idea." Murphy opened his mouth and said, saying this is tantamount to giving in disguise.
Yun Qi looked at Sandru, who shrugged: "I don't care. ”
"Alright, then stay with him." Yun Qi said.
Edward breathed a sigh of relief.
"Remember, Edward, we are not obligated to protect you, let alone despise your pitiful reward, and if you can't really help us, I will have to obey the majority."
Edward nodded helplessly.
"Very well, as a reincarnation, you have to shoulder the responsibility, and escaping is never the solution. Now, it's up to you to show us the way and tell us where you've been trapped. ”
"What!" Edward rolled his eyes in fright, there was nothing worse than that.
Yun Qi's simple words directly sent him from heaven to hell.
With a new partner, the speed of travel is much higher.
Under Edward's leadership, with the assistance of the Flying Finder, the speed of the four of them suddenly doubled.
Finally, Edward couldn't support his tired body, and he supported the wall with his hands, hunched over and panting, for an old man whose physical fitness was no different from ordinary people, he could walk for two hours without stopping, and he had proved to the three of them that he was still valuable.
Deciding to re-infiltrate the alien lair as a guide was not an easy decision for Edward, which made Murphy and Sandru, who had thought he would back off, look at each other.
"I can't take it anymore." Edward finally asked for help.
Before, Yun Qi had activated his insight talent on him, and his basic attributes had not improved at all, and he was not even as good as a normal prime of life, obviously he had devoted all his limited reincarnation points to the frenzy of potion development.
"It's time to take a break, too." As he spoke, Yun Qi took out a few things from the coat of arms and handed them to the chemist who was still breathing.
Edward's eyes lit up, and he grabbed it and put it in his mouth.
It turned out that Yun Qi handed over compressed food.
"Look at him like that, like a starving ghost reincarnated." Sandru sneered at the gobbling chemist.
Edward didn't care, for him, nutrition was the number one priority.
Because he ate too fast, and Yun Qi brought dry compressed food, Edward's eyes rolled and choked. Fortunately, Yun Qi poured him a bottle of mineral water, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps his hunger was relieved, and Edward swallowed the last compressed biscuit before explaining, "I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring food." I haven't eaten a bite since the mission began. ”
In other words, he hadn't been supplied for at least 28 hours, and when he remembered that Edward had walked hungry for two hours before, his will was not as unbearable as it seemed.
