Chapter 25: Everybody's Crazy
He Xie sat on the sofa, holding a bowl of instant noodles, and was so moved that he wanted to cry bitterly: he had faced hundreds of bugs and successfully killed most of them, he was an out-and-out legendary hero, who deserved a grand treat, or at least a good meal, but when he returned to "home", he could only fill his stomach with instant noodles.
And there are no spice packets.
He let out a heavy sigh: "I feel like we're being targeted. ”
He uses "we" because the others are in the same situation as him: Jimmy. Xu was also holding a bowl of instant noodles without a seasoning packet, Guo Bo was getting a canned soybeans with tomato sauce, and Mo Fei, Qin Lang, and Regular were all nibbling on compressed dry food - that thing looked similar to soap, and it tasted similar.
It's just that in terms of food, the Hell Squad is definitely the most miserable of all the reincarnation squads.
He Xie raised his voice: "Even if the Lord God has a little conflict with us that needs to be resolved, it will not retaliate against us in this way." ”
"Oh," Qin Lang turned his head, "It's not a personal grudge, it's a rule." ”
"What?" The surprise made He Xie's voice rise a little more.
"The free food is only a variety of canned foods, convenience foods and emergency rations, which are automatically replenished to the kitchen lockers and refrigerators at midnight every day, and if you want to eat something else, you have to redeem it with bonus points."
He Xie's spirit was suddenly lifted. "The only thing we don't lack right now is bonus points."
"That's another issue." Qin Lang looked around at everyone. Jimmy. Xu almost buried his head in the bowl, Guo Bo only cared about his can, and Mo Fei still nibbled on "soap" without saying a word. His gaze finally returned to He Xie, and at the same time spread his hands. "Who knows how to cook?"
"Does egg fried rice count?"
"So, we need a chef."
He Xie quickly deflated like a leaky ball. Cook? He had read the rules, the main god was not allowed to take away the characters of the plot world, nor was it allowed for the reincarnator to create artificial people that met his own requirements - the reincarnator could do that, only 1000 points each, but the attributes of the created person, gender, figure, appearance, everything, were all determined by his face.
This is equivalent to betting on the same formula, and the Admirals of Europe, Asia and Africa will obviously have completely different gains.
He Xie didn't want to make this kind of attempt, although 1000 points was not much, he had never been to Europe.
Want a chef? Either learn it yourself, or wait for the next newcomer to enter, and you have to look at the face in the end.
He Xie did not hide his frustration and dissatisfaction. "These rules are not reasonable at all."
"I think they make sense." Qin Lang quickly swallowed the last bit of compressed dry food and explained, "According to the commentary of the rules, the main god restricts these behaviors in order to prevent the reincarnators from making a lot of model workers. ”
"Model worker?"
"You know, the common protagonist of all kinds of small books."
He Xie's face flushed, causing a short, suppressed laugh.
He glared at Guo Bo. "Be careful, don't choke."
"It's useless, you know." Qin Lang sighed, and then continued: "Since most of the reincarnators are not willing to share their favorite characters with others, especially female characters, the appearance of a large number of model workers has undoubtedly exacerbated the conflict of the reincarnation, leading to unnecessary battles, so ......"
Routine picked up his words: "So, in the final analysis, these rules are just for one reason, Sizhai steamed goose heart." ”
He Xie understands these truths, but understanding in the end does not mean that he will willingly accept the restrictions. "Hell, I just want a cook!"
"You can redeem an educational pill that will turn you into a top chef." The general advice is, "Just 200 points." ”
Qin Lang immediately echoed her proposal. "That's a way."
It's a way! He Xie thought - he had noticed that Guo Bo and Jimmy. Xu Du was secretly watching him, as if instant noodles and canned food had lost their appeal.
Apparently the guys' little plan is to wait for him to turn himself into a top chef, and then they can eat and drink.
He Xie swore that he would never let them get what they wanted. "I think it's best to find a cook among the newcomers, whether he is originally, or give him an educational pill."
"That's a way to do it." Qin Lang said, "But I want to remind you that the next plot world will be the last time we will get a free newcomer." ”
"What kind of rule is this?" He Xie called, and without waiting for Qin Lang to answer, he impatiently opened his data terminal, and quickly found the relevant information.
It must have been around for a long time, but it was unlocked and revealed after they finished their adventure in the second story world, and the content was simple, each reincarnation squad could only get free newcomers for the first three missions, and after that, only the first three missions for each reincarnation squad could get free newcomers, and after that, only to accept veterans who did not have a team, or to buy newcomers with bonus points, up to four places at a time, the first two thousand points, and then the price doubled one by one, so if you buy all the places, it will cost ......
30,000 points! While bonus points are easy to earn, and the points spent will be split between the entire squad member, it's still too much.
If the bracelet could be taken off, he would definitely take it off, and then slam it on the ground hard, maybe he would step on two feet, but it couldn't, so He Xie could only shout angrily: "This is simply blackmail!" ”
"You've got to get used to it." Qin Lang comforted, "Besides, this is also to protect the newcomer." ”
"I know the reason, it's just that I feel uncomfortable." He Xie bit his lip. He believed that the rules set by the Lord God were meant to protect the newcomers: whether unintentional or intentional, most of the time, putting newcomers in the veteran's team would be equivalent to hastening their death, but if it was a team willing to buy newcomers with bonus points, they would not die so quickly, and the veteran must have made such a decision after careful consideration, and would not let their investment go down the drain.
Theoretically, yes.
Rules don't always work as intended. He Xie couldn't help but sarcastically said: "If you meet a mentally ill person who likes to buy newcomers with reward points and then kill them, the wish of the main god will be frustrated." ”
"That's right. But most of the time it works. Qin Lang glanced at Guo Bo, "At least our political commissar will have to think about it seriously." ”
Guo Bo's response was quick. "I'll think about it." In a tone that is no joke, he says, "Actually, I've found a better way." ”
"What is it?"
"Psionic energy." Guo Bo spit out two words, threw the empty can into the trash, and then walked over to Mo Fei, "I have a new idea about my strengthening. ”
Mo Fei raised his head and gestured, "I'm glad to hear anything you think, my friend. ”
"When the Queen of Worms attacked us with psionic energy, I found myself able to resist this force, some, not all. I think this is an indication that I may have psionic energy or some potential, but it is so faint that I cannot manifest or feel it. Then I thought of Carl. Jenkins, the federal military intelligence once performed neurosurgery on him to enhance his abilities......"
"You want Carl. Jenkins is scheduling the same surgery for you? ”
"Yes. But first, I have to take an ESP test to see if I have or can do it. ”
Mo Fei lowered his head and thought for a while, longer than ever. He Xie thinks that this is because Guo Bo's proposal is too risky: he actually wants to hand himself over to Carl. Jenkins, let this bastard guy do his tricks in his head. If it weren't for the fact that he was mentally ill in the first place, everyone in this room would have thought he was insane.
He Xie wanted to persuade Guo Bo to give up this idea, but Mo Fei agreed.
"I'll supervise Carl. Jenkins does his job. He looked up again, "When are you going to go, now?" ”
"Of course it's better to go now."
"Good." Mo Fei stood up, "Let's go immediately." ”
Like Guo Bo, he is eager to return to the world of Galaxy Troopers and complete some personal plans that must be completed. After making the necessary preparations, the two men disappeared from the living room, and they would not reappear until the next day - as it was set.
He Xie looked at where they were originally and showed a confused look. "I don't understand why they're in such a hurry."
Qin Lang knew the reason: "I have to complete his lightsaber." ”
"He's got a ......"
"The blue one, and he needs the red one."
"He knows how to make red crystals?"
"He knows a lot of things." Qin Lang used a tone of "you shouldn't be surprised". The general assembly agrees with this. "I've already said in that world that he shouldn't be on this team."
"I know, but ......"
"If you want me to say, don't ask too much."
Qin Lang's warning made He Xie finally give up the idea of getting to the bottom of it - yes, but not Guo Bo. "Even if there is a private matter that needs to be completed as soon as possible, what is the matter with Guo Bo...... How? ”
He stopped. Qin Lang was looking at him with idiotic eyes.
And the routine, she touched her forehead, looking distressed. "Haven't you realized that we need to improve our ability to counter psychic skills as soon as possible?" She shook her head slightly, "Queen Worm and Carl. The Jenkins thing is a stern warning. I've decided to do targeted reinforcements, and I recommend that you do the same. ”
"Wait, you've decided what to strengthen?" After saying that, He Xie regretted it, and the question undoubtedly proved how stupid he was - he didn't grasp the point at all.
Conventional didn't hide her disappointment, but she replied anyway: "If you really want to know, I'm going to completely reinvent myself with nanomechanical technology." ”
Her answer surprised He Xie, which in turn led him to continue to deviate from the topic: "You want to transform yourself into a machine?" ”
Regular took a hard breath, controlled his emotions, and said to him in a calm tone that scared He Xie: "That's right, I've always wanted to do that." ”
There was only one thought in his head: there was another madman here.
