Chapter 10: Toffee
"Sister Lin, who is the head of the regiment you mentioned earlier?" Li Xiaoxuan said.
"The head of a regiment is the manager of a team, and they hold the power of life and death.
Now there are more and more teams in Happy Valley, small teams of more than 20 people, large teams of 80 and 90 people are common, and there are even giant teams with more than 300 core members!
There are many benefits to joining a team, such as aura buffs, discounts on buying and selling equipment, and more. Of course, there are also disadvantages: freedom will be limited, and team tasks once every 3 months cannot be pushed off.
The rewards for the team's tasks, large and small, ultimately fell into the hands of the regiment leader and were distributed by him. Most of the regimental leaders assign the bulk of the reward to themselves or a few people, and only give some symbolic reward meaning to others. This is one of the reasons why they are strong.
There are few lone rangers in Happy Valley, and even if they don't join the team, they all team up with their friends to complete the mission in private. ”
"The head of the regiment is arbitrary and has a lot of resources, and the members below have no complaints at all?" Li Xiaoxuan was puzzled.
"Hehe, the tourists selected by Nightmare Happy Valley are not all soldiers/policemen, and they have excellent mental quality and endurance. In fact, a significant number of people just want to be alive, and they join the team not to gain much benefit, but to seek a kind of refuge. ”
Yu Rou glanced at Xiao Xuan deeply: "Of course, there are times when team members are not convinced, which is rare. In the event of a similar situation, the regimental commander will most likely not make any concessions.
In the end, this kind of thing is troubled, and the former is basically the one who suffers. They can be warned and expelled from the team, or killed on the spot. After all, no regimental commander likes his players to question his fairness and challenge his authority. ”
"That's right."
Li Xiaoxuan's heart fluctuated, and in just a short period of time, his understanding of the world deepened a lot. It is certain that the "Magical Medical Backpack" from the Starter Pack and the "Eye of the Little Monster" in the treasure chest are good equipment.
Lin Rou looked at Li Xiaoxuan and urged, "There is one last question left, let's ask quickly." ”
He hesitated for a moment, and in one breath told Lin Rouhe all kinds of strange things about the encounter with the hotel and Sun Shengli, and cut off the part where the monster was killed by himself, he didn't want others to know about it.
"What, the flesh puppet didn't chase you." Lin Rou groaned, "It's normal, it should be an ownerless puppet, without the control of the Revenant Priest." ”
Lin Rou said lightly: "Since you happened to encounter that thing and escaped, then I'll tell you about it." ”
"The flesh golem you encounter in the hotel is a difficult undead creature that obeys the orders of the Revenant Priest, has strong physical attack/defense, is immune to stun, and never fatigues. The weakness is that it is very slow, and without the latter's control, the intelligence is extremely low.
You're lucky to have run into an ownerless puppet, or you'd be gone for ten.
As for the blue-black creature dressed in Sun Shengli's human skin, it should be a monster. The monster is a disgusting creature produced by the influence of demonic power, the juvenile is small, not the size of a palm, almost no lethality, and is parasitic in human corpses to plunder nutrients before growing into a primary.
I deduced that Sun Shengli was killed first, and then parasitized by the demon larvae, and then a newborn demon was born.
By the way, the monster does not get enough nutrients when parasitizing the corpses of ordinary people, and it tends to look for multiple corpses. But it's a different story if it's a tourist's corpse, which quickly grows into a newborn in a very short period of time. ”
Lin Rou's speech was very fast, and after she finished speaking, she picked up the cup and drank the rest of the coffee, took out a napkin and wiped her mouth, looked at Li Xiaoxuan, who was frowning, and said:
"Maybe it's hard for you to understand what I'm saying. But time is of the essence and you have to adapt to it all. ”
"Sister Lin, what is the Revenant Priest? The more you talk about me, the more confused I become. ”
"The Priest of the Revenant is also a supernatural being, usually wearing a red robe and holding a bone staff. Its strength is not outstanding, but its ability to conceal and sneak attack is not small, and it is a loyal servant of the demon, as long as you give it enough sacrifices, any evil existence can be summoned to you. ”
"It is especially fond of sneaking up on lone tourists, and when it succeeds, it will sacrifice their flesh and soul to demons, which is extremely troublesome. That's the main reason I've asked a few of you newbies to come to me, and if you're killed and sacrificed, the problem will get quite tricky. ”
。。。
5 minutes passed.
"Knock knock!" Lin Rou saw that Li Xiaoxuan was still thinking with her hands on her cheeks, and she knocked on the table helplessly, hoping to save him from the meaningless entanglement.
After all, even if he knew this information, he would be a person who understood at most, and it would not help the situation at all, and she still needed Xiao Xuan's cooperation in her next actions.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Li Xiaoxuan also realized his gaffe, and the information brought by Lin Rou was too rich, which made Xiao Xuan think about it.
He said embarrassedly, "Sister Lin Rou, you continue." ”
Seeing that Li Xiaoxuan came back to his senses, Lin Rou nodded and said, "The previously promised questions have been answered, now let's talk about serious things." ”
"As you can see, the man next to me is also my companion, and we are both from the Shadow Team." Lin Rou shrugged, "I need you to sign a temporary contract to become a temporary member of the Shadow Team and act with us, obey the command, and fully cooperate with the captain's plan." ”
"In this way, it is also convenient for a few of us to protect your personal safety, and it is no problem for you to return to Happy Valley alive."
Lin Rou's eyes were staring at Li Xiaoxuan throughout the whole process, not letting go of every detail he revealed. Her words were categorical and could not be rejected by Xiao Xuan, and he also read a hint of threat in them.
The short man also cast his gaze, and he and Lin Rou were on both sides of Xiao Xuan, waiting for Xiao Xuan's next reply.
The tense atmosphere was in the air, and the tip of Li Xiaoxuan's nose was sweating, and there was a sense of dilemma at the moment.
"I'd like to see the details of the contract." He hesitated for a moment.
Lin Rou clicked on her watch a few times and passed Xiao Xuan a virtual contract. This contract seems to have been drawn up in advance, and the content is simple and straightforward:
1. While the contract is in effect, the internal members of the Shadow team can view Li Xiaoxuan's personal attributes at any time.
2. Li Xiaoxuan must pay 3,000 tokens to Lin Rou after the main quest is completed.
3. Both parties are in a state of default peace during the contract period, and area attacks will not cause damage to each other.
4. The duration of the contract is 3 days.
Lin Rou was very cautious, she didn't trust Xiao Xuan's words, but was skeptical, and she had to make sure that she had all the information of Xiao Xuan in her hands to avoid accidents.
Li Xiaoxuan protested dissatisfiedly: "Sister Lin, is there something missing in your contract?" It doesn't say how you're going to keep me safe. ”
"Okay." Lin Rou and the short man glanced at each other and nodded, obviously agreeing to Xiao Xuan's request and adding a promise to protect Xiao Xuan.
The two parties finally signed the contract.
"Welcome to the Shadow team."
Lin Rou smiled, she patted Xiao Xuan's shoulder in a friendly way, and the short man took out a piece of fruit candy with a picture of pineapple on the skin from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiaoxuan: "Hey, you take this thing, you will use it tomorrow."
Xiao Xuan took it and saw the specific attribute of the fruit candy, which was a blue rarity item:

"Why did you give me this candy?" Li Xiaoxuan said.
"It's for you, of course it's for you." The little man said with a smile, "But you don't have to eat it now, wait until tomorrow." ”
Li Xiaoxuan raised his head and looked at the short man and Yu Rou in shock and anger, they were going to use themselves as bait to attract supernatural creatures? Oh my God, a newborn monster almost killed him, chasing him for half a street, in case there was some other bull ghost snake god......
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, his heart was full of bitterness.
At this time, Lin Rou spoke: "You don't need to be afraid, calm down." Remember the girl in a short skirt who was a newbie like you? I'm telling you, she ate toffee an hour ago, and we'll have to go to Building 27 in Jinghe District to find her and bring you with you. ”
"She ate this pit daddy candy!" Li Xiaoxuan's eyes widened, he really couldn't believe that someone would do such a stupid thing, "You're not lying to me, are you?" Is she dying? ”
Lin Rou rolled her eyes and comforted: "Don't worry, these people from our Demon Shadow team are very powerful, and the supernatural creatures attracted by toffee are only small fish and shrimp, so it's no problem to clean them up."
I forgot to tell you, this candy won't attract creatures that are more difficult than this world, don't worry. ”
Hearing that someone had eaten this candy first, Li Xiaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and silently put away the toffee, but he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the behavior of Lin Rou and the others.
He actually came with me to cut the first and then the prelude, forcing me to accept this broken sugar.
I knew I wasn't coming to her.
。。。
After a while, Lin Rou raised her head and said:
"Li Xiaoxuan, I have carefully read your talents and attributes, and they are exactly the same as what you told me before. Thank you for your honesty, this pistol will be given to you as a welcome gift for self-defense. ”
She took out an inconspicuous pistol and handed it over:
