"There's no such creature in Neil, right?" Marjie asked suddenly.

"No......"

Li Nuo hesitated to lift the stool, poked his head into the water pipe, and then all three of them heard a systematic voice:

[Involving hidden plots, consider whether to enter as appropriate]

"You, you, have you heard of a special mission?" Chen Shou stammered, events beyond his expectations happened too often, and for a while panic spread in the cerebral gutter.

Li Nuo's face was expressionless, this kind of thing had already been experienced during the screening of newcomers: "Isn't it just to hide the plot...... The diary suggests that the area around the drawbridge is the missing place of the Jiye troops, and the next location of the hidden mission should be there, just follow the map, and there is no need to take the water pipe. ”

With that, he picked up the pouch and filled it with a fairly intact monster corpse.

Don't underestimate corpses, which are perfect for bombs and traps in an environment with plenty of tools.

In one of the compartments in the pouch of the gun, he also found a curved magazine containing 30 rounds of M1943 Intermediate Power rifle rounds.

"Okay, let's go."

On the way back.

The formation of the three of them is like that in a traditional RPG game, with the front, middle and back lined up, and they walk cautiously in the high grass.

Li Nuo, who was walking between the two, was a little worried.

The diary mentions that "night" is coming, which is a strange sign.

The world of Nier Automata is strange in itself.

The main stories of the games, anime, and manga take place in the daytime world of Earth, also known as the Land of Daytime.

On the other side of the earth, the American continent, there is no day, so it is the land of night.

He opened his memories of the game.

The timeline in my mind comes to 5012 AD, and aliens have invaded Earth.

In 5024 AD, aliens began producing mechanical lifeforms in the Night Realm.

The cause of the half-minute divestment of day and night on the earth is tidal locking.

In incomplete records, the tidal lock-in time is 26xx years.

That is, the earth of this world, there is no rotation.

It always orbits in the same hemisphere as it faces the sun.

If it had been placed in the past, Li Nuo would have felt that this setting could not have happened in reality, and the consequence of tidal locking was that the temperature on the sunny side would be extremely high, and the temperature on the dark side would be extremely low.

In addition, due to the difference of light and heat in the day and night hemispheres, strong thermodynamic temperature difference convection is triggered, and strong winds continue to blow from the night hemisphere to the day hemisphere, forming a new circulation, causing global heavy rains and super storms, forever changing the original distribution of land and sea and meteorological systems.

But he himself is a puppet in the virtual world, and anything that doesn't conform to logic can directly ignore the word "logic".

Now, even if someone scolds him for "you're just a piece of", he has to wonder if he is really a piece of.

Thoughts pull back.

There is no night in the land of day, and there is no day in the land of night.

In the stories of the Neil generation, many plots say that "there is no night in this world", and they will regard the dusk and dawn at the junction of night and day as "night".

This reminded Li Nuo of three of the words he heard on the train:

- The nightless world of day, is being invaded by darkness, and the dawn will be the carrying point.

Interpreted as "the mission location, which is being invaded by another creature that brings destruction, will be a turning point at night".

Li Nuo told the two people in front of him and behind him about this idea.

Then a simple inference was made.

"In terms of setting, the monsters in "Nier Automata" are basically mechanical lifeforms, and the diary mentions that the Resistance has encountered creatures that they have never seen before, and can put forward two hypotheses.

One, there are certain creatures in the world that have not appeared in the game;

Two, there are other things from the game, or things from other worlds, that have come to Nier Automata. ”

Marger hypothetical: "Is it possible that there are female centaurs among those dangerous creatures?" ”

"I'd like to see someone and a horse, and I'll be able to ride it away with a few words, but it's impossible." Li Nuo's riding and Marjie's thinking riding should not mean the same thing.

Chen Shou listened silently on the side, he only had one feeling.

I feel like I'm on a weird scavenger hunt......

If you hadn't boarded the thief ship of Leno and Marger, you would have been enjoying the linear game route protected by the Resistance.

Thinking of this, he struggled to squeeze out a boring question: "Li Nuo...... How do you know so much about games? ”

Li Nuo replied: "I don't have a job, I'm idle." ”

I see...... Chen Shou realized that this guy is either lying, or in reality he is engaged in work that cannot be said directly.

Sure enough, he was dangerous.

Chen Shou snorted and looked at Marjie who was wearing a Doraemon mask beside him.

This one is more dangerous.

"By the way, Skinny Brother, what's that slingshot that you have that shot birds?" Li Nuo asked.

"Haha...... This one. Chen Shou scratched his cheeks a little embarrassed, took out a slingshot and set the panel to be visible to all members.

【Slingshot overtraining!】 】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Equipment Condition: Reaction 3]

[Effect: Comes with 10 small bird-shaped large shot put bullets, once the ammo is used up, it takes a cooldown time of 10 minutes before the ammo can be fully refilled]

[Special entry: 15% damage bonus against pigs]

[Brief description: Ya!! 】

Seeing that this "creative" slingshot can still be used, Li Nuo is also relieved.

After all, Chen Shou's fort effect is very important in this script.

Marjie looked at it, then "snorted", untied the rifle he was carrying, and handed it to Chen Shou.

The latter was stupid and didn't understand what was going on.

Marjie said: "That monster was in mid-air and you were able to shoot accurately, you should have unlocked [Long-range Sniper], right?" ”

Chen Shou was speechless, he was right.

This slingshot was the initial weapon he received during the "Newcomer Screening".

After the train took him into his own space, Chen Shou chose to bind the weapon in the hut and unlocked his [Long-range Sniper].

The above series of operations cost him 800 gold coins.

In the next two missions, he realized that he was on the verge of bankruptcy because of a failure, and that in the Endless Corridor, the use of gold coins must be carefully calculated.

Just like a pregnant woman crossing a single-plank bridge, a failure to take a step is a step towards death.

"Thin brother, take it." Li Nuo's voice pulled Chen Shou back from his memories: "You are the only one who has mastered the shooting technique, in case your slingshot enters the cooldown, the rifle can be used to the maximum extent in your hand." ”

Chen Shou silently took the rifle and the magazine handed by Li Nuo.

The basic competition between players is "treasure".

He has experienced two scripted missions, and when faced with rewards, players are all vying to grab them.

He couldn't even imagine the situation of these two guys taking the initiative to hand over their weapons.

"Brother Ma, thank you......" Chen Shou looked at Li Nuo again: "Thank you, I will play the role of cover." ”

I shouldn't be suspicious of them with glasses...... Their humanity should not be doubted...... Chen Shou gave birth to a faint, idle and painful sense of guilt.

At this moment, Li Nuo added with a smile: "Then you are the fort now, and the fort can't be moved during the battle." ”

"Huh?" Chen Shou was stunned: "Then won't I become a live target?" ”

"But it maximizes the cover." Li Nuo said.

Chen Shou even pondered for a moment, as if he was right...... But it seems to ......

"You're letting me die!"

Li Nuo said: "Then I put it another way, to be helpful. ”

"Isn't this still going to let me die!" Chen Shou didn't notice that he had forgotten the tension caused by the battle just now when he complained.

By this time, they had returned to where the three jumpers were.

Then Chen Shou watched Li Nuo dig up some soil and pull some grass to cover the artificial man who was knocked unconscious by him not long ago.

Chen Shou didn't ask Li Nuo why he did this, anyway, it must have been for some bad purpose.

Guessed half right, there is a purpose, but definitely not a bad purpose.

Regarding the Resistance's [Rescue the Wounded] mission, the level requirement is 15.

Missions that exceed the average level of their players will certainly not be easy.

If you choose to take this resistance to the barracks for repairs, there is a high probability that you will encounter a robbery halfway.

For safety reasons, Li Nuo plans to postpone this mission.

If you can get more weapons, let's figure out how to get this side quest done.

This time, it was replaced by Li Nuo to drive three jumpers.

He took out the map, marked a location, pointed to the road map above and said: "No matter what, this game is also a science fiction theme, if you can find a weapon of a futuristic nature, even if the mission fails, it is worth the ticket price, and you should encounter mechanical lifeforms on the road, they must have weapons in their hands, bullets, guns, shields, and if you are lucky, you may even find high-powered cold weapons that need to be purchased in the game, and even long-range weapons that you have never seen, such as particle cannons." ”

If there is a high-power ranged weapon, Li Nuo pondered that he could consider unlocking [Ranged Sniper].

Especially the guns that can shoot bullet hell balls in the hands of the group of mechanical lifeforms in the game, he has already begun to jump into the test when he thinks about it......

As a result, not a single mechanical lifeform on the road ......

"Strange...... What about mechanical lifeforms? ”

As he drove to the heart of a ruin, Li Nuo noticed a small iron cart crushed under stones about 20 meters away.

His expression changed suddenly, and he slammed on the brakes.

Chen Shou's meat in the seat twisted, and he let out an "ah" in pain, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Li ...... No, what's wrong with ......? ”

After he finished speaking, when he saw Li Nuo's expression as if he had seen a thousand naked women running wildly on the street, his heart suddenly became furious.

"You'll wait a minute."

Li Nuo put down a sentence, got out of the car, ran there with a fart, moved the stone away, and an overturned blue iron car came into everyone's eyes.

Seeing this scene, Marje's face turned pale: "......"

Chen Shou was stunned: "Brother Ma...... What's wrong? ”

Marjie said, "That seems to be the emir? ”

"Emir?" Chen Shou hadn't played "Neil" and didn't understand what he was talking about, but he had a bad feeling and asked, "This, who is this?" ”

Marjie frowned slightly, and said in an uneasy tone: "The hidden boss of Nier Automata. ”
