"At this time, you want to make it more difficult for me?" The sound of the system sounding in his ears made Cheng Shen pause.
stage
Performance.
Cheng Shen thought about it and felt that something was wrong, he looked down at the oil lamp in his hand, just now he was about to leave with the oil lamp, and suddenly triggered this task, saying that it was not the prompt given to him by the system It was too much of a coincidence...
"The night is their world, and under the lights is the stage for the puppets to revel, if I tear down this stage in front of everyone......"
Cheng Shen's heart sank slightly.
The consequences of that could be imagined without being reminded by the system.
"I'm just reacting as a normal person......" he took a light breath, "If the system didn't prompt, I'm afraid I'd have been besieged by puppets at this time, and whether I was exposed or not would be a dead end at that time......"
Danger passed by him silently.
Cheng Shen reacted and was shocked.
It was only a matter of moments before he was already on the line of death several times! Perhaps there was a more insidious danger that he was not even aware of. One wrong step, and he's probably a cold corpse by now!
"It's really like walking on thin ice......"
From time to time in the darkness around him, there was a feeling of touching and pushing his body, Cheng Shen originally thought that those puppets wanted to kill him, but after seeing the mission description, he felt that it was more like the audience waiting for boring heckling.
They are waiting for the occupancy of the stage to perform.
What kind of show would the puppets want to see?
Cheng Shen put the oil lamp back, and the dim light shrouded the workbench and the surroundings, setting it off more and more like a simple stage. His gaze slowly swept over the question, and Old Johnny had actually given an answer.
Carving!
The thing that these puppets are most interested in is carving!
Sincere!
Cheng Shen picked up the carving knife and knocked it gently, and the noisy sounds around him immediately weakened a lot, and there was still a frequent sound of heavy objects moving, but Cheng Shen had clearly sensed that the audience around him had quietly dispersed.
The show began.
The audience went to find the best place to watch, and no one bothered him as a performer.
Only the piercing scratching sound that kept ringing around the warehouse continued, like a group of unlucky people who didn't grab tickets and gathered around the venue, unwilling to vent their anger.
Sincere!
Cheng Shen became even more focused after noticing this.
He didn't have a foundation in engineering, but the art of making it was the same when it was carefully studied. The difficulty of Fu Xue is only higher than that of engineering. All of them are in pursuit of the precision of manual operation.
And Cheng Shen can rely on energy control talent to use every wisp of soul power to the nearest detail.
It's like a high-precision machine that never goes wrong.
It's easier than hanging!
Sincere!
Sawdust splashing.
Cheng Shen skillfully used several tools to modify the wood in his hand.
When he began to work in earnest, all the dolls in the darkness were silent. He could still feel the presence of the objects, but the panic in his heart gradually calmed down compared to what he had felt before.
All they want to see is a show......
Cheng Shen had an inexplicable feeling.
Perhaps, they are all scrap products that have failed to be made, or have been discarded here for some other reason.
They also longed for the light, and they also experienced the good times of being in the spotlight on stage.
But the final destination of these puppets is to this dark and damp warehouse.
I can't see the sun anymore.
However, they do not complain about their imperfections and miserable circumstances.
Until now, the biggest wish of these puppets is to see more and more perfect puppets born in this warehouse, and to see them be made to meet the beautiful course of life...
Finish the last cut.
The ordinary white brilliance bloomed in Cheng Shen's hands.
[Successfully made! γ
[Hint: Engineering proficiency +3!] γ
β¦β¦
White items.
This should be the worst quality prop Cheng Shen has ever made.
But at the moment of completion, he inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, like the feeling of finally repairing a broken product.
Bang dang,
Bang dang......
There was a sparse sound in the quiet warehouse.
[Mission Accomplished - Puppet Horror!] γ
[Gain: Experience +300,000!] γ
[It's a pity! Your performance didn't particularly please the puppets, but they still want to give you a gift! As one of the special missions, you can try again later! γ
[Obtained: Puppet Crafting Blueprint (Broken)!] γ
β¦β¦
The face smeared with bright red dye appeared in the range of the light again, and its entire body was hidden in the darkness, and only the neck could be seen pieced together one by one, full of grotesque horror.
"Hoo ......"
It blows out a breath gently.
The oil lamp goes out.
Cheng Shen, who fell into the darkness, did not panic.
This time, he didn't read any malice in that face, but a deep sympathy......
Crash......
Something in the darkness touched him again, and a pile of cold paper was gently stuffed into Cheng Shen's hand.
The oil lamp lights up automatically.
But at this time.
Cheng Shen couldn't feel any unknown existence around him.
The dolls are gone.
"Satisfaction ......"
Cheng Shen called up the system record and glanced at the satisfaction value of the dolls.
23β¦β¦
If the full value is 100, this score is not even qualified.
Cheng Shen frowned secretly, although he deliberately controlled it within Carl's level, he had successfully completed it.
How can it be so low?
The system prompts that this quest can be repeated in the future, which means that the gift of that puppet will be a very important item.
However, looking at the results this time, Cheng Shen couldn't figure out how to achieve a satisfaction of more than 90......
"The quality of the final finish of the puppet and the precision of the structure are likely to be important satisfaction scoring indicators."
Cheng Shen guessed.
The former is mainly influenced by the material, while the latter is based on the technique of the carver.
Technically, he's certainly not bad.
Material?
Cheng Shen entered the Old City this time, but he brought a lot of raw materials for making magic props. - Magic scrolls have a short shelf life, so you may not know when you will be able to use them.
And making props is just a matter of raising his hand for him, so Cheng Shen didn't prepare too much in advance.
He just brought a lot of raw materials with him in case he needed them.
Timber......
There seem to be some too.
Cheng Shenxin said, when the exploration of the old city is higher, the system permissions will be further unlocked, and the use of the backpack will be completely unrestricted You can come here to complete this task again.
Now.
It's still a matter of life.
Cheng Shen quickly flipped through the newly obtained drawings in his hand, and after memorizing the contents, this drawing did not need to be used, and it could become a part of his mastery of knowledge, further completing the Flesh Demon Golem's technique.
He then walked out of the warehouse with the arm he had made.
Gurgle......
The dark red blood light spread on him along the crack in the door, and Cheng Shen looked up to see that the demonic blood yang had begun to transform into dark black.
There is not much time left during the day.
"You're done."
Old Jonny stood quietly outside the door and looked at him with a smile.
"Teacher...... ...... in that warehouse."
Cheng Shen instantly entered the role, scared and tired, trying to tell old Johnny what he saw in the warehouse.
Old Johnny had expected it.
Perfunctory: "Those are the tests I set for you, don't be afraid, you can pass this exam is the most glad thing." β
"I ......"
Cheng Shen was stunned and didn't know what to say, and then he suddenly thought and handed over the drawing in his hand, "This is the ...... it handed over to me."
Old Jonny didn't answer, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is the reward you deserve." And the drawings you just learned, they are my most valuable skills, and I hope you will be able to put them to good use in the future. β
"There's not much I can do to help you after you get out of here."
He said earnestly.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you, teacher. β
If Cheng Shen hadn't encountered the life-and-death crisis just now, he might have been deceived by Old Johnny's performance.
He was really so kind, why didn't he just pass on the complete knowledge of the puppet to himself?
Do you have to do this extreme test?
Cheng Shen caught that the moment he handed over the drawings, Old Johnny was a little disappointed.
What is he disappointed about?
Disappointed that he didn't get what he wanted to see?
To say that Carl's body still has some benefits, any emotional changes, it is difficult to read in this torn and hideous face, and the only way he can express his emotions is through movements and hoarse voice.
Even the most cunning old fox didn't know what was in his heart.
Cheng Shen's thoughts turned.
"It's not early, you should go back, remember to come early tomorrow, I'll take you to apply for that job."
Old Johnny said.
"Okay!"
Cheng Shen said with some excitement in his tone.
He followed old Johnny out of the backyard and back to the inner room, and the moment he walked out of the hallway, Cheng Shen caught a glimpse of the pink pocket figure opening the curtain and peeking out, and the dim blood light reflected it in the murky lake.
"Maybe I shouldn't have stopped her and let her escape......"
Cheng Shen couldn't help but think.
Old Jonny doesn't seem to be very strict with her, but he doesn't know why she hasn't been able to escape......
Thoughts flashed.
Cheng Shen continued to work hard, slowly moving down the street step by step.
The puppet shop is three streets away from Carl's home, about a kilometer away, and this distance is only about ten minutes on foot for a normal person.
But it took Carl more than twice as long.
The blood grew thicker.
Pedestrians are bustling.
As it approached dark, everyone stopped working and prepared to go home, adding a touch of popularity to this desolate neighborhood.
Smoke wafted.
A bakery on the street has its peak of the day.
Residents living in Midtown have plenty of money to spend as long as they work hard, but it is only after the busy factory is over that the streets will be bustling and lively.
Grunt......
The sweet aroma of toast aroused Cheng Shen's hunger.
But there was no money.
Cheng Shen could only pray that Marge would see that for the sake of him successfully finding a job, dinner would still be the same as at noon.
Otherwise, the first day of his arrival would have been too miserable.
"Hmmm......"
Cheng Shen, who was wearing a black trench coat and wrapped tightly, looked extremely unusual in the crowd, and people deliberately avoided him, but after he walked not far away, his keen intuition caught several unusual glances.
One of the lines of sight felt familiar to him.
It's the peep......
Perceptual creep.
Cheng Shen carefully released his soul power to look for it in the crowd.
Fortunately, not all of the monsters or extraordinary people of unknown strength like Coyne and Old Johnny in the Old City are in the Old City.
Most of them are ordinary people.
Cheng Shen's released perception quickly found the man who was peeping into his house, he was squatting on the street corner in front of him at this time, and there were a few characters who were dressed up and angry, and Jiao Erlang looked like a gangster.
...... gangsters?
Cheng Shen has repeatedly confirmed that these guys are indeed ordinary people.
Their psyche is filled with malice, greed, and fear.
Such a scene made Cheng Shen a little confused.
He will perceive closer, and hear their conversation clearly.
"Is that weird guy?"
"That's right, I watched him walk out of that horrible building! He must be what the big guys are looking for......"
"Shh
"Don't mention that word, it will invite misfortune!"
"Now that you've set your goals, what are you waiting for? Take him away directly! Sending it to the Redemption House is a big reward if it's true! β
"But it's ...... after all What if it's very powerful......"
"What are you afraid of! For this operation, I brought out all my brother-in-law's family heirlooms! β
"Wow!"
Cheng Shen looked at the thing that shocked them, it turned out to be just a blue quality magic dagger......
Well?
They dare to provoke their own family by relying on this thing!?
It's really fucking courageous......
Cheng Shen heard it.
The Salvation House is a structure under the Church of Healing, which is responsible for dealing with law and order incidents that cannot be solved by the city guards.
For example,
The series of murderous and strange eucalyptus that happened in his neighborhood.
In Cheng Shen's understanding, the Redemption House should be the extraordinary institution that manages the city.
But when it comes to extraordinary events, they will take care of them.
And according to these little thugs, they are treating their family members as monsters who have been bounty by the Redemption House......
But how dare they??
In such a world with extraordinary powers, with brute force alone, you dare to catch a monster that even the Redemption House has issued a bounty?
The brain circuits of these people......
Cheng Shen couldn't understand.
He has always been cautious, if he encounters such a thing, I am afraid that he will have to move overnight, and it is impossible to make such a reckless decision.
Is this the wealth and danger in pursuing?
The danger is there......
Rich?
Cheng Shen only felt that his opportunity for wealth and prosperity seemed to have come.
