There is only one day left until you reach the first port of the Night Country.

In the past few days, Li Nuo has collected some information about the Night Nation from the crew.

Most of the androids do not go deep into the territory of the Night Nation, which is the territory of mechanical lifeforms from the beginning of the Night Country, which is the center of the real-world North American continent.

There is also a special combat weapon that can only operate in the Night Country.

Dragoons.

In 6230 AD, in order to adapt to the battle in the "Night Country", the android army built a new weapon, the "Dragon", and went into battle.

There is also a more important information, androids cannot operate in the Night Country, and as for the reason, Chabai does not know.

Maybe it's because the Night Country doesn't have orbital satellite monitoring by androids, so it's hard to communicate, but it's hard to explain why the man-made weapon "Dragon" can.

It is an android's ace weapon, but few androids have ever seen a dragoon.

But its existence even makes mechanical life feel terrified.

In short, the reason why this group of androids ventured to the dangerous continent of Night Country was mainly to exchange for better equipment or maintenance equipment with the space orbit satellite base.

They dig up a special mineral in the Night Nation and send it to orbit.

There is another message for these things.

The minerals of the Night Country are necessary for the production of parasitic bodies, but it is unknown what they are.

On the other hand.

The more Li Nuo looked at the hidden story line, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Tide locked.

In the original plot, it should be a willful design by the producer.

A celestial body is always facing another celestial body in the same way.

It's like the Moon and the Earth.

You can't go into the details of this, theoretically speaking, if there is really a tidal locking phenomenon, this earth will not be able to stay for a long time, but you have to think about it this way, the producer is a stinky gamer, he knows the physics of a fart except for the ass and the game, so it's right.

For this matter, Li Nuo consulted with the crew before disembarking.

"What do you crew members think about the fact that there is no alternation of day and night?"

This group of androids had long been accustomed to it, and they felt very puzzled by Li Nuo's question.

"What's the point? I don't feel it at all. ”

"However, then again, I heard that in the world where humans existed before, day and night existed alternately, is it that a group of sailors like us who live at the dividing point between day and night are the closest to human beings in this world?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The question obviously did not get a useful answer, but someone said something that made Li Nuo very interested.

"At least, if the day and night are separated, it can be regarded as protecting us, otherwise, at night, when those monsters appear, we will all be done playing. (Note 1)"

When Li Nuo heard this, the curiosity that had been suppressed suddenly opened.

He drifted off topic.

Throw the hidden quest line aside and ask about the monsters.

"We've only been active at the shore and haven't seen much."

The crew explained, then depicted the appearance of the alleged monster in a general narrative.

But it seems to ...... There was no key information, and the crew knew too little.

Li Nuo picked up his luggage, which was important to him, even though it contained some food that the androids didn't need.

He and Chabai stepped off the cargo ship.

Set foot on the continent of the Night Country.

In the vast world, the night sky is starry, and in the distance, the full moon echoes with the huge stars behind it.

Li Nuo didn't know why, but he always had a hunch that the journey of the Night Country would subvert his cognition.

The world of "Neil" is fucked up and desperate.

If she could, Li Nuo didn't want to delve into the truth of this world, and it would be considered for the sake of tea, at least let her leave some good impressions of her "hometown".

So far, Li Nuo has not told her the story of "Neil's" predecessor "Cavalry on the Dragon's Back".

The distortion of Japanese RPGs is different from the powerlessness of European and American games based on reality, it is a real perversion.

"Does the [Summoning Magic Crystal] react in the Land of Day?" Li Nuo asked.

"Nope."

"When you start to react when you arrive in the waters of the Night Country, it symbolizes that you have entered your own world." Li Nuo thought for a moment and added, "In other words, there are a lot of elements related to the 'crystal' in Final Fantasy in Night Country. ”

"Hey, little brother!"

A crew member called Li Nuo.

He turned around, and the other man threw a map and a wad of money wrapped in cloth.

"It's ......"

"Over the years, adventurers have entered the Night Country, and there are people in the surrounding area who have set up repair stations, and the nearest one is marked on the map, where you can go and rest."

"No, I mean, what are you paying me for?"

"Hey, hey, it's the first time we've had such delicious food." These days, Li Nuo couldn't stand the food (water) of the androids, so he made a barbecue on the deck, attracting this group of androids to eat too, and it was five days to eat.

"It's just like the food recorded in human information, thank you."

Li Nuo pursed his lips, this is not nonsense, I am a human being......

"Thank you."

"Have a nice trip."

The ship left, and it was a cargo ship that had only passed through here with added money, and no one but them entered the Night Nation again.

There weren't many people near the port.

Walk 100 meters and enter the abandoned city.

Between the darkness of heaven and earth, there are folds and crookedness.

The steel-framed edifice is half-buried in blackened vegetation, and the wreckage of cars of all colors is scattered with no end in sight, with the occasional crack of asphalt blocks.

The branches and steel creatures are one, and the smell of death reverberates around them.

Li Nuo tried to open the abandoned car door, but the mottled iron filings fell to the ground, and the entire car door was also broken.

There are rabbits in the car making their home.

Li Nuo's eyes lit up, he grabbed one, put it in front of him, and his eyes were wrinkled.

Cha Bai walked with cat steps, cleaned the dust from her skirt, and said, "Don't eat here, we have to hurry up, I don't know how Marjie is doing." ”

As the words fell, the rabbit suddenly opened its mouth, and its jaw was stretched like a rubber large enough to swallow Li Nuo's head.

Bang!

Li Nuo slammed the rabbit to the ground and trampled it to death.

"It's going to eat me."

He took out a knife and put down the rabbit ears to make the decoction materials for the future.

"What's going on?" Cha Bai was puzzled.

"Biological variation? I don't know, I sensed a monster in front of the car door. Li Nuo touched his chin: "Tutu is so cute, he wants to eat me...... Half in the bag. ”

Burst~

Not far away, a car frame collapsed, and the shelves were scattered all over the ground, and blood seeped out of them, seeping through the grass as far as the naked eye could see.

Cha Bai looked at it solemnly: "The country of the night...... Is it so weird? ”

Li Nuo: "After all, it's an area that can't be made up by the official, and it's normal for anything to happen, even if there's a piece of popping out and dancing now, I'm not surprised." ”

The image of Marjie dancing immediately appeared in Cha Bai's mind, and she closed her eyes and shook her head violently, letting the terrible image disappear from her head.

Li Nuo looked at the map and said, "First of all, let's find an android stronghold in the Night Country. ”

It's about five kilometers away, and there's a pit stop.

Cha Bai exchanged the rifle in the backpack compartment for the emir's vending cart and carried it out like Doraemon.

"I'll take a look......" Li Nuo opened the friends panel and checked the map, Marjie was about a day or two away from them: "Go east." ”

Cha Bai lifted her skirt, exposed her thighs, and stepped on the vending car.

Li Nuo was stunned.

"Huh?"

"Get in the car." Cha Bai pouted: "It's always been you and Maljie riding it, I've wanted to try it for a long time, and now there's no one around, just right." ”

I'm not human...... Li Nuo naturally sat on the back shelf.

"Hmm......" Cha Bai stepped on the pedals with his heels, lifted his legs, and said to himself: "This is a loose block, and then directly step on the pedals......"

Li Nuo: "Your black silk ......"

Whoosh——!

Cha Bai's legs are strong, and the appearance of pedaling is like Nezha's foot on Hot Wheels.

The speed of the car is very fast.

Li Nuo was thrown out......

……

Under the night sky.

In the silence of the woods.

A mechanical lifeform was fetching water, carrying a large bucket of water, and walking back step by step with small steps.

"There's water, there's water to drink."

It muttered to itself.

"As long as there is water to drink, my friends can live."

Its friends are waiting for it.

Suddenly, singing could be heard in the distance.

A small blue tin cart appeared in the darkness, and the two large eyes of the emir's head at the front of the car were two headlights, illuminating the mechanical lifeform that was carrying a bucket.

Knock ——!

Boom ——!

The water was scattered all over the ground.

The mechanical lifeform was knocked to the ground.

"Damn...... Who is it...... The speed of the car is so fast, ...... fast."

In the distance, the singing was flying, and the sound was getting quieter.

"Super cheap~"

"The goods are sold super cheaply."

"Come and buy it~"

"We sell affordable products."

"Super cheap~"

"The price of props is also super cheap."

"It's amazing~"

"Still want to bargain?"

"No~door~!"

Li Nuo listened to the out-of-tune car with its own BGM, and thought to himself, I don't know if this song will lead the emir out of this world.

"Linuo, I don't feel right." Cha Bai said suddenly.

"How?"

"I'm a little weak."

Lack of energy?

Li Nuo's brows furrowed, and he deduced in his head.

The emir's sales cart pedaled with no effort at all.

The android has a lot of physical strength, so it shouldn't be out of strength.

He thought about the setting, there was a secret to the fact that androids couldn't fight in the Night Country.

The frame of Chabai's body is still dominated by the parasitic body, and although the core is replaced, it always belongs to an artificial person.

The car stopped.

Not far away was a building, a dilapidated tin house, with no windows, only an iron door that seeped yellow light through the cracks.

There is a mottled signage on the road pointing there, which says "Pit Stop".

For androids, the pit is what it means as a hotel.

Li Nuo jumped out of the car, just in time he needed to find a few androids operating in the Night Nation and ask him about what he wanted to know.

Like Jacoor, and where Marger is located.

Some information still has to be clarified first.

The group of people called "Neil" didn't come up with this setting themselves, which is likely to cause the "Endless Corridor" to turn this place beyond recognition.

There are several dilapidated locomotives parked at the door.

The temperature in the Land of Night was very low, and the cold wind blew through the curtain of the tin can, and the sound echoed in the desolation of all the silence.

Pushing the door, Li Nuo stepped over the threshold in front.

The warm yellow light hit his face, and the heat rolled up on his body.

Four pairs of eyes flocked to him and Cha Bai at once.

The android sitting in here fits well with the shape here...... They are not like the people of the Land of Day, where every body part has visible damage.

Several of them don't even have skin on their faces, like robots that have gone from the wrong set of Cyberpunk.

Behind the counter, a man in camouflage came out with a rifle on his back.

His military boots crushed a creepy, crawling bug and pulled up the transparent slime...... He frowned and spat on the ground.

He has dark skin, is sewn like this, wears an old steel helmet and goggles on his head, and walks with excellent combat qualities, definitely not an ordinary artificial man.

It's a combat type.

In a second.

Pupil spun around the room.

All of them are not ordinary human beings, they are all combat types.

Cha Bai whispered: "Don't cause trouble casually. ”

Leno understood what she meant, and no one knew what was going on in the Night Nation.

"You two just arrived, didn't you?"

An android with no skin on his face asked.

"You can see at a glance that the skin is still a good resin skin."

Li Nuo glanced at the map, and there was a repair point a kilometer away nearby, so he could sift which store had better people.

Bang!

Almost as soon as he was about to turn to leave, someone pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger.

Fragments of the Quinn Sigil splattered.

Li Nuo tilted his head and squinted at these people.

An android that attacks androids?

【Side quest triggered】

【Rescue the shopkeeper】

[Mission Details: As Titled]

[Difficulty: Lv17]

[Task reward: Experience value 1500, characteristic value 1, 5% discount for the shopkeeper]

At the same time, several spears were pointed at them, and the group of guys drew their guns unexpectedly fast, and even the rate of fire of the pistols became incredibly fast in an instant!

A storm of bullets rained down on them!

Cha Bai first recited the spell to cover the bullet with a magic shield to slow down its trajectory, and then used his own strong flesh to resist and flesh the shield!

Li Nuo stepped back and threw an electromagnetic grenade outside the door, and the sound of the explosion covered the fierce attack.

"Try to keep a note to ask."

As the words fell, Cha Bai took a sharp breath in the room, his chest surged, and he squirted sage magic in front of him, [High Temperature Breath]!

Orange-yellow particles flew out of her mouth and turned into sparks that filled the house.

Rumble!

A series of explosions are coming!

The flames engulfed the dilapidated furniture and a figure in an instant!

The two most exposed mechanics burned out the core.

Li Nuo stepped into the house, and his staff slid through the slag left behind by his breath, directly enchanting the flames.

Raise the gun and hit a knife-wielding android, and the [gun reverse] triggers a pestle into the core of the opponent's chest.

When he turned around, Cha Bai took out his hammer and smashed it at the dark-skinned man.

However, Li Nuo saw that the look in the man's eyes gradually became ethereal, his face tightened, and he shot out a trick to pull back Chabai, and he went up to catch the other party with a cane and slammed it against the wall, and then pulled the trigger on his head.

Bang! Bang!

Two shots.

The man fell to the ground.

The red light in the pupils gradually went out before it was fully lit up, and it was lifeless.

The cold breeze outside the house was warmed.

Li Nuo let out a sigh: "Some of these guys are infected with the logic virus. ”

Cha Bai didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, I can recite [Ice Heart Formula], that one works very well." ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a pistol syringe and stuck it in her thigh.

Balorolo enzyme, something for cyber maniacs.

This thing is made by Marjie, and Li Nuo can also make it, the materials are simple and easy to use.

Side quests completed.

There's not much to say about the rewards.

It's just that Chabai got a MOD costume again.,This time it's not a suit.,It's a white shirt.。

The effect is [The probability of being knocked by the president's wall increases].

From the rewards, it can also be known that the higher the difficulty of the completed task, the better the quality of the reward mod equipment.

Li Nuo entered the back room at this time and found the shopkeeper who was tied up.

A male android wearing a beret.

He used the Seal of Axy to wake up the shopkeeper.

"We saved you, how can you reciprocate?" Li Nuo doesn't talk nonsense.

"I ......" When the shopkeeper opened his eyes and saw the scene outside the house, he twisted his body in panic: "How did my shop get bombed like this!" ”

Lenovo: "Oh, that's it when we came. ”

Without thinking, he put the pot on the dead android.

The shopkeeper got up, tried to go out and tripped over the rope on his foot, and said eagerly: "Please, untie me first!" ”

Li Nuo untied him, and the shopkeeper ran to the grocery room below in a panic after his hands and feet were free, and even forgot to turn on the light, but his hanging heart was relieved when he saw the messy books on the shelves.

"Great, the book is fine."

Li Nuo followed, turned on the light in the basement, and picked up a copy from the ground.

"Huh?"

The Legend of the Condor Heroes?

He picked up another copy casually.

This time it's "How Steel is Made".

As far as the eye can see, there are books with heroic descriptions.

The books are old and have been read countless times.

In the years of a hundred or even a thousand years, in addition to contributing their lives to human beings, some of them will develop strange habits.

"Sorry, I haven't said thank you yet, my name is Koeman." The store manager said.

Li Nuo put down the book in his hand and asked, "Why are we artificial humans kidnapped?" ”

Because androids are restricted from thinking by AI, they will be restricted in what they do, and attacking their own people is considered to be a violation of the AI program, and usually does not harm their own side if it is not necessary.

Of course, killing people with knives is not one of them.

Anyway, as long as it's not hands-on, it's not cannibalism.

The shopkeeper said while cleaning up the bookshelves: "And anthropology, good intentions learn good, evil teaches evil, places like the Land of the Day are full of sunshine, and no matter how black the heart is, it can't overflow, but the sun hasn't appeared here for thousands of years, and there is no place to light up when it lights up." ”

Cyborgs have been mimicking humans all the time.

For example, the buildings next to the wasteland and dense forests, the piles of modern cities, the ruined cities, and the coastal factories are not left by humans, and after the death of human beings, many things have long disappeared with the changes of time.

Cyborgs imitate humans to build cities, factories, and roads, then destroy them in war, and repeat the work.

Thousands of years have passed, and there are human-like structures everywhere.

In fact, when the mechanical life form awakens its mind, the android has also begun to awaken.

Koman looked at the neatly arranged bookshelves and nodded with a smile, as if the blowing up of the equipment outside was not a big deal.

"You two look like they've just arrived." He took out a sack of goods from the cabinet next to the bookshelf, pointed to it and said, "My things are all here, if you need anything, you can look at it and take it, it can be regarded as a return, anyway, there is no one in this area." ”

Li Nuo opened his pockets, various chips and chip materials.

[Shooting Rate Bonus], [Blunt Weapon Bonus], [Running Speed Bonus], [Gathering Speed Bonus], only these four are useful after sifting for a while.

Li Nuo threw the chip with the running speed and blunt weapon bonus to Chabai, and the other two put it in his pocket, and then asked, "Since you don't make money, what is the purpose of your maintenance point?" ”

Koman said: "Store the ore source, wait for the people in space orbit to come and collect the ore, and the people who have recently received the goods have been replaced by the people who send the leaves." ”

Li Nuo said: "When I first arrived, I asked about some things. ”

In the next few minutes, Li Nuo asked some key questions.

According to Koman, there are about 50,000 androids in the Night Country, which are basically divided into three types.

The first type of support android like him, who settles here, has no special combat power, and usually mines or operates maintenance points.

The second type is called adventurers, and the few who were killed by Li Nuo and Chabai are that they are all out of the android network, and they are not a third party that belongs to androids or mechanical lifeforms, and they are good and evil, and they make a living by hunting monsters to earn bounties.

The third is not here, but in the center of the continent of Night Country, in a lot called York City.

"The people of Yorktown never came out, they built their own social system, they were all independents of the year."

The independent ones are the artificial people who once broke away from the belief in human beings.

"Those guys get along well with mechanical lifeforms, so we don't usually talk to them."

Artificial humans who have not departed from the belief in humans cannot live in peace with mechanical lifeforms, and this is a program written by AI, and it is difficult to pull it out.

Maljay is in Yorktown.

"What is the range of effect of the [Fetch Purse]?" Li Nuo looked at Cha Bai.

"In this script is ......" Cha Bai opened the backpack compartment, glanced at the panel and said, "A radius of five kilometers." ”

"Dude, how do you get to Yorktown?" Leno asked, the location of York City was not specifically marked on the map, and naturally he did not know the way to go.

"Huh? What are you doing there? Coman asked.

"Mission." Li Nuo is concise and to the point, talking to androids, sometimes too lazy to explain, you just say that the task is right.

"The fastest way to get to the mining town and take the cable car across the canyon is the fastest way to get to the mining town," Koman said. ”

"Ever heard of Jacoor?" Li Nuo asked again.

"The Miss Weapons Supplier?" Coman's answer was almost identical to Annabelle's: "Of course, every six months, I heard she was in Yorktown. ”

Li Nuo came to the spirit, and finally had a key clue.

According to the original story of "Nier", Jacole sells weapons everywhere in "Nier Automata", and as the most powerful weapons merchant in the series, she has been stuck in the Night Nation since "Automata".

As for why Jacole is in the Land of Night, it is unknown.

But what can be known is that she was born in the Land of Night, and there are many problems of time and space travel in it, which Lino has left behind for the time being, in short, the character of Jacole not only has the best weapons, but also involves the deepest secrets of the entire large series of "Nier" and "Horsemen on Dragon's Back".

When Coman looked up, Li Nuo and Cha Bai had already left.

At night.

Li Nuo looked at the markers of the places on the map with a little difficulty.

Their current location, based on the real world, should be "Vancouver", and the mining town is in "Seattle".

"The mining town is quite far away, nearly 200 kilometers."

"Or are you going to drive it?" Li Nuo asked.

"I'll come." Cha Bai was just about to step onto the saddle when Coman pushed the door open, and she immediately retracted her legs.

"I'll show you the way." Holding up a fluorescent lamp, Koman said, "There are monsters on the road, and this lamp can dispel them." ”

The green light of fluorescent lamps is more like a spiritualist lamp.

Coman closed the pit and was about to get into the Emir's vending car, but after a pause, he asked, "This is ...... Your car? ”

Li Nuo: "yes, what? ”

Coman barely managed to squeeze out an ugly smile before pushing his motorcycle.

"I'm still ...... Ride my bike. "Cyborgs also understand what it means to be ashamed.

"Li Nuo......" Cha Bai pointed to her skirt: "You drive." ”

……

The barren land at night.

Abandoned shacks made of iron sheets, collapsed houses, and scattered old pickup trucks and sedans form a grave-like road guide.

In the long and inhospitable land, from time to time, smoke and dust will drift in the distance, and adventurers wander in the middle of the night.

According to the story of Neil's official "Young Leaves", there are some "deserters" from the Leaves Army who fled to the Land of Night.

I just don't know what kind of artificial people are that cause the smoke.

Bursting and eerie cheerful singing resounded in the desolate silence.

Emile's car for sale has no regard for its small floor-to-ceiling shape, allowing it to maintain its blistering speed.

The tremor of the earth caused countless strange bugs to flee in panic.

From time to time, mechanical lifeforms also get out of the way because of the strange singing voices.

"Friend, can I ask where you got such a chic car?" Koeman didn't expect that the chic shape of Emir's car would be so superior.

"Do you believe me when I said I was liared?" Leno told the truth.

Coman: "You're lying to me! ”

Li Nuo pedaled the car quickly, and his hat was held in Cha Bai's hand.

The car slipped underneath an eight-legged mechanical lifeform the size of a building.

His eyes wandered in the darkness for a while, catching a flash of red fire, listening intently, and even hearing the chatter of the crowd.

"Don't stop here."

Koeman, who was riding a motorcycle, followed behind and reminded.

"No one knows if it's a human or a mechanical lifeform that you're talking to, and if you slow down, you might run into a special mechanical lifeform, like that."

His eyes pointed to something as tall as a chimney in the direction of ten o'clock.

It was a mechanical lifeform, its crumpled iron covered with wriggling mechanical arms twisted and strange in the night.

Cha Bai twisted her eyebrows, her gray-blue pupils were full of solemnity, she never thought that there was such a terrifying area in her native world.

This is the Land of Night.

A place where slowing down will cause death.

"I don't understand, if it's so dangerous here, why don't you go back to the Land of Daylight?" Li Nuo asked.

"I can't go back." Koman said leisurely: "Once you stay in the country of night for a long time, your body will not be able to withstand the environment of the country of day. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Nuo thought of what Cha Bai said before, the feeling of powerlessness in his body after entering the Night Country.

"That is to say, after returning to the Land of Day, the body's functions begin to deteriorate, and then the uncontrollable body collapses, like a curse." Koeman's voice trembled a little in the wind: "Similarly, if you stay in the country of day for a long time, you will be like this in the country of night, but the relative situation is better, at least you won't break down and die." ”

Cha Bai sat firmly on the back frame in a ladylike position, bowed his head and said, "That's really bad, you have to stay in this kind of place all the time." ”

Coman smiled and said, "It's okay, you can read a book, it's very interesting!" ”

Li Nuo turned the handlebar, let the car avoid a big rock, and turned his head sideways: "I saw it, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "How Steel is Trained", ......"

"Yes, including "The Count of Monte Cristo", but also Campbell's "Hero's Journey", Nietzsche's "Superman", anyway, I like this kind of book, which talks about the greatness of human beings." Coman asked, "Do you say that their children and grandchildren are watching us from the moon?" ”

Li Nuo stared at it with a blank eye, this guy thought that the humans in it were all real......

The android higher-ups lied that humans were waiting on the moon for the androids to retake the earth and come back, so they ...... Coman also lives in this lie.

"You like heroes?" Li Nuo digressed the topic.

"What I like is human beings." "The greatest human being is the one who can create this literary spirit," Coman said. ”

"Yes, ......?" Cha Bai whispered.

When Corman heard this, he said, "Of course, I also understand that human beings are good and bad, but as our Creator, they are destined to be great. ”

Cha Bai suddenly realized that this man was trying to imitate the "dedication" spirit of human beings, so he risked his life to send them to the mining town.

"Ha, if you want to say that, I also know a few stories, anyway, there is still a long way to go, do you want to listen to it?" Li Nuo asked.

"Of course!" Coman came to the spirit.

Li Nuo smiled: "You can choose one, they are "Golden Scale", "Jie", "Lover", "Sodom", "I Spit on Your Grave", ......"

"I spit on your grave, and it's a very philosophical story when I hear it."

"Okay, then let's start with "The Carrot of Damocles."

Four hours later.

Cha Bai put his hat on Li Nuo's head and told him to stop talking.

Koeman's eyes were straight.

She felt that Li Nuo was a jerk......

"How can you harm his brain like this......"

"I couldn't hold back ......"

"Don't ......stop," Coman said, "What happened to Bai Jie?" ”

Li Nuo suddenly stopped the car, braked suddenly, and Cha Bai pounced on his shoulder with an inertia.

She looked up in a hurry.

Li Nuo pointed to a point of light in front of him.

【Side quest triggered】

[Get back the source of the mineral transportation team and send it to the mining town]

[Hint: This cargo will attract monsters or special mechanical lifeforms to appear]

[Difficulty: Lv20~Lv35]

[Reward: 1800 XP, special shop purchase privileges in mining towns]

A python with a body length of about 20 meters is devouring an artificial human.

Coman said, "It's a monster, it's okay, with the lamp in my hand, it will ignore us." ”

Li Nuo paid attention to the mission rewards and the minerals that had fallen to the ground, and he wondered why the androids in space orbit wanted these minerals.

Li Nuo stepped out of the car.

Cha Bai also jumped down.

The python swallowed the androids and rested on the high platform, staring at them.

Li Nuo walked over and carefully picked up a piece of ore to check, ordinary ore, silver shining, without a special feeling.

But when Chabai held it in her hand, she felt the difference.

"There's magic in it."

"Magic?"

"Well, it's a strange magic, as if there's a toxin." Chabai is good at magic and can feel the difference.

Toxin...... Li Nuo touched his eyebrows, toxin ......

"Magical?"

"By the way, androids are created with technology that has magic elements."

Li Nuo immediately speculated:

"So, the Night Nation is rich in ores with magic elements?"

In 2003, in Shinjuku, Japan, the dragon in "Cavalry on Dragon's Back 3" was teleported here.

After the death of the dragon, it brought with it a virus, the virus that caused the extinction of humanity - white salt syndrome.

Based on the secret study of dragon corpses, particles that could not exist in this world have been discovered.

Since then, the particle has been called "Magic".

According to the results of the study, the cause of white salt syndrome is this magic element.

Magic, that is, magic.

The method of constructing an artificial human makes use of magic elements.

Over time, thousands of years after the end of humanity, the story of Nier Automata, in which things related to magic were stored in the Moon's database.

There is no trace of any magic in this world.

In fact, androids are the product of a combination of magic and technology.

"In other words, the androids in space orbit are using the magic elements in the minerals here to continue to create androids."

Leno gets a piece of content that hasn't been mentioned in the original setting.

He doesn't know if it's true or not.

Can only speculate.

"Li Nuo, do you want to do this task?" Cha Bai asked.

Li Nuo stood up, looked at the side quest that had just been triggered, and asked, "Mr. Koman, may I ask, what is the special shop in the mining town?" ”

"That's it......," Coman said. Jacoor's direct supply point sells some modified chips and weapons, and I heard that there are special equipment, so I want to do some kind of membership. ”

Jacole ...... Li Nuo curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, raising his eyes to look behind him.

Tyrannosaurus-like mechanical lifeforms are approaching them.

"This is a task that must be done."

……
