0023 Badge Inventory (2-in-1)
[Martyrs of the Wine Country: Is this wine?] This is the flowing cold fire, the remedy for forgetting worries, the oasis in the city, the antidote to the painful life, the river with temperature, and the loneliness boiling in the deepest part of the heart in countless cold nights.
[Wearing effect: The more alcohol content in the body, a series of negative emotions such as fear, timidity, and panic will have a lower impact on you.
This effect is maximized when there is 0.1 grams of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, and it is directly immune to the effects caused by the related negative emotions, but it will enter a special state of "drunkenness"]
[Drunk: Your reaction time is increased by 50%, your physical coordination is reduced by 50%, your perception of your surroundings is reduced by 50%, and your courage is increased by 300%]
[Advanced Route: After tasting 1,000 kinds of "Craft Brew" level or above, 100 kinds of "Fine Wine" level or above, 10 kinds of "Mellow" level or above, and one kind of "Drunken Brew" level or above, this badge will automatically be promoted to the different color badge "Wine Immortal".]
The current progress is 117/1000, 7/100, 1/10, 0/1]
[Hidden Trait (No Need to Wear): After a hellish booze, your body has adapted to the ravages of alcohol and found a trick to deal with it, and the rate at which you metabolize alcohol has increased dramatically]
Drinking all night and sleeping all day in exchange for a gold-level badge...... This...... It seems like...... It's not unacceptable?
After watching the specific effects of [Martyrs of the Wine Country], Leon's mood finally calmed down.
It is worthy of a gold-level badge, and the effect is indeed very powerful.
Although his courage is not small, he was still a little scared when he faced the hospital that would directly "eat people" that day.
In particular, the hellish scene in the hall on the first floor, even if you just look at it in the scope, makes your heart flutter.
To tell the truth, if you hadn't sniped from a distance, but walked in with Emma's predecessors with a gun, in that extremely terrifying scene, you might not be able to hit anyone in person.
But with this gold badge, as long as you carry a bottle of high wine, you can directly and greatly reduce the impact of these negative emotions and calm yourself down, and for this kind of life-and-death work, calmness and sanity can save lives at critical moments.
In addition, according to Emma's predecessors, although there are not many abilities that directly affect the soul like the black goat, it is not impossible to encounter it, and with the terrifying scope of work of the Clearing Bureau, he may bump into one at any time.
And although this [Martyrs of the Wine Country] has a limited range, it can only be immune to negative emotions such as fear, timidity, and panic, but if the opponent's ability is just within this range, it will be directly restrained to death, even if the range is narrow, this is also an extremely powerful hole card.
Seemingly...... There's a lot more that the badge system can dig into.
After looking at the four slots on the panel, as well as the seven badges of three black iron, two bronze, one gold and one different color, Leon couldn't help but ponder.
Among the seven badges that I have activated so far, the [Unemployed Youth] is not only very confused in ability, but also needs to withdraw from the cleanup bureau if you want to improve, not just hard work can be upgraded, temporarily pass, and the same is true for the [probationary worker] who can only be promoted after two months of entry.
The remaining [Trustworthy Brother] has no advanced route, the [Materialist Soul] cannot be promoted, and the [Martyrs of the Wine Country] can still go up, but he doesn't know how to drink, and he doesn't have the money to buy so much good wine, so he can only give up temporarily.
Then those who are likely to take the initiative to upgrade are only the [Demon Dependents] and [Shooting Rookies].
The former is the best, as long as you carry the people from the cleaning bureau on your back and buy a few more packs of "Gaote" for the black goat; The latter requires live firing, and it may be necessary to find a way from the military department...... Not...... Wait, it looks like the police department has a shooting range, right?
Recalling that when he was eating in the police department's cafeteria, he seemed to have seen a police officer with a gun, and Leon got the idea of the police department.
Although it is only subordinate to the Ministry of Police, the Clean-up Bureau is indeed nominally subordinate to the Ministry of Police, and for them, they can be regarded as half of their own people, so borrow their training facilities...... Shouldn't there be any problem, right?
Not...... Practice guns and brush badges, investigate the hydraulic company and the Ministry of Highways, and visit the middle-aged nurse named Hannah...... It's only been two days since I've been on the job, but that's all I have to do......
Holding his still dizzy head, Leon, who was pale, got up and rummaged through the old table beside the bed.
After a small rattling sound, he took out the half-cut carbon rod and straw paper he had picked up, recorded what he was going to do one by one, and then carefully folded it and carried it in his arms with his wallet.
"Brother! You're awake! ”
It may have been that he heard the sound of turning over things, and a little boy with eyebrows and facial features similar to Leon's, but looking at some naïve, quietly looked in through the crack in the door.
After seeing that Leon had gotten up, he immediately ran in with surprise on his face, hugged his thighs tightly, and then said with a little redness in his eyes:
"My sister coughed so loudly the day before yesterday, her handkerchief was red, and she hasn't come back yet, and you can't wake up after you come back, I ...... I thought ......"
"William! What are you doing! ”
As if hearing the noise here, another little girl of about the same age, shaking her pale blonde hair, ran over, grabbed the little boy's sleeve and said angrily:
"Didn't that sister with tomato-like hair say that the eldest brother is just drunk! Drunk, you know?
It's just a minor illness like a cold, you can get better with a good night's sleep, and you won't die! If you talk nonsense, I'll beat you! ”
After reprimanding the little boy who was half a head taller than herself, the little girl with the same hair color as Anna hesitated for a moment, and finally pounced, hugged Leon's other leg, lowered her head and said with red circles in her eyes:
"Big brother, sister, she...... How is she? ”
"Anna is fine, she's fine."
Looking at the two children who were clinging to their thighs on the left and right, Leon's eyes couldn't help but flash with a touch of guilt.
The night before yesterday, Anna suddenly coughed up blood, and entrusted the two little ones to the neighbor in a hurry, and before she could even say a word, she ran to the hospital with Anna on her back, and tossed all day, and that night she joined the clean-up bureau, encountered an abnormal incident, and tossed all night.
Later, after solving the out-of-control impregnated person, he woke up the doctors and nurses with Emma's seniors, and helped Anna change the ward and new medicine, the sky was already dark, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't go home, so he slept directly in Anna's hospital bed for a while.
When I woke up, I rushed back to the clean-up bureau to report the situation non-stop, and after the report, I deliberately asked for a leave, and I wanted to go home after confirming Anna's situation, but I heard the information of the suspected anomaly from the baby-faced employee of the gas company, so I had to run back to the clean-up bureau again temporarily.
Ay...... I didn't sleep much for two days in a row, and I was so busy that I didn't think about asking someone to go home to report my safety, but I was even dragged to drink after work, and then I slept all day.
Is...... The adults in the family are sick and lying down, and they haven't been home much for more than two days, they must have been frightened, and their eldest brother is really not very competent......
……
After gently touching the heads of his younger siblings, Leon led them to sit on the edge of the bed, leaned down and comforted softly:
"Don't worry, I asked the doctor yesterday, and the doctor said that Anna's condition is stable, and her illness is no longer a problem."
"Really!"
Hearing Leon's words, the naïve William buried his head and did not say a word, but the little girl, who was obviously much more lively, raised her head suddenly, and said happily:
"So what that red-haired sister said is true? Sister Anna is going home soon? ”
"Hmm."
Leon smiled and nodded:
"The doctor said that she only needs to rest for two more days to go home, and then she can take medicine on time, and she will be cured in three months at most, and she will never cough again in the future."
After hearing the good news, the two little ones were immediately very happy, and their two little faces were full of joy from the bottom of their hearts.
When the two of them had no memory, the parents of the four siblings, who were mechanics, had already died in the Great Patriotic War a few years ago, and the two younger ones did not have a clear memory of their parents, and they were almost taken care of by Anna all the way.
So don't look at Anna herself is not yet sixteen years old, but in the hearts of these two siblings, the eldest sister is not an exaggerated description, but a realistic description, and hearing the news that Anna is okay, the two of them are definitely happier than anyone in this world.
仔细看了看弟弟妹妹的模样气色,确定这两天既没有饿着也没有冻着后,总算放下了心的里昂摸了摸小女孩儿的金发,微笑着询问道:
"What about the big red-haired big sister? Melanie, tell me when she left and what did she tell you? ”
"Ah...... I want to think about ......"
Although she is the youngest in the family, the little girl named Melanie is obviously much more clever than her somewhat honest twin brother.
After tilting her head and recalling for a while, she crossed her fingers and relayed with a serious face:
"After the red-haired big sister carried you back, she gave the aunt who took care of us a silver wheel, and asked her to take care of us before you woke up.
And then she also said, "I'll give you another day off today, and the nurse will get it tomorrow or something, huh...... Also, she bought me and William so sweet toffee, and said she would give us a new dress......"
"But we didn't!"
At this moment, the little boy who had been listening silently couldn't help but interject:
"Brother and sister have said it! If we meet someone who wants to give us candy or clothes, they must be bad people, traffickers who abduct children, and we should never go with them.
So as soon as I heard that she was going to buy us clothes, I immediately glared at her very hard! also shouted loudly that someone abducted the child, and directly scared her away! ”
“……”
(⊙_⊙)?
In Leon's speechless and bewildered expression, the naïve little William stood up, patted his small chest vigorously, and said proudly:
"Brother! I scared away the bad guys and protected Melanie! Am I doing well? ”
"Phew! You're embarrassed to say it! ”
Before Leon could speak, the angry little blonde girl pounced on her, stretched out her little hand and slapped her twin brother's head vigorously, shouting angrily as she patted it:
"Stupid! Idiot! Big idiot! Dead Eye! Wooden head!
Are you stupid? Can you use your brain? Our brother was carried back by her, so can she be a bad person? Quickly pay me for my new clothes!
Also, if you're really afraid that she's a bad person, then you don't even want sugar, why do you still grab candy from me? You hate it! ”
"I ...... Didn't you eat a few pieces first? ”
The little boy, who was naïve and naïve, raised his thin arm to hold his head, trying his best to resist his sister's attack, argued with confidence:
"I thought, since you're okay if you eat sugar, it proves that sugar must be non-poisonous, why don't I eat non-toxic sugar?"
“……”
Boy...... It's pretty logical, but are you stupid or smart?
Looking at the younger siblings who chased and fled more and more noisy and made a mess of the house, Leon, who was still full of guilt just now, immediately switched to the parent mode that the more he looked at the child, the more disgusted he became, covering his head that was still dizzy after a hangover, and waved his hand a little weakly:
"Stop making a fuss, huh...... You two are really ...... Our family is about to have money, and when the salary is paid, whether it is sugar or new clothes, my brother will buy it for you! ”
After promising a great benefit worth two copper wheels, and finally calming the two little ones, Leon looked at the dark sky outside, and reluctantly stood up to get something to eat.
"You're all hungry, aren't you? My brother will cook for you. ”
"No, we've eaten!"
After glaring angrily at her stupid twin brother, Melanie shook her two pale blonde braids and replied happily:
"Although I was angry with the idiot William, the red-haired sister came back quietly and put a lot of food in our house, enough for our family to eat for several days, and the two of us came to see you after eating."
"Yes, yes!"
As if remembering the delicious food just now, the naïve William licked his lips and nodded again and again:
"Especially the fried fish and smoked red sausage, which are very fragrant, we ate a lot!"
"Humph! Didn't you say she's a bad person? Why do you still eat her stuff? Not afraid of being caught? ”
"Don't be afraid, I wait for you to finish eating first, and then I eat after seeing that you are okay, like the mashed potatoes you didn't eat, I didn't eat a bite, I'm smart!"
"I ...... I'm mad at you! ”
"Alright, alright!"
Seeing that the two little ones were talking and arguing together, and a new round of battle was about to start, Leon hurriedly grabbed them one by one, and changed the topic with some headaches:
"And then? The two of you have eaten so many good things from other people, have you thanked them well? ”
"Of course!"
After glaring at her stupid twin brother, Melanie shook the braids on her head and said proudly:
"Sister Anna said, we are just poor at home, and we are not wild children without parents, we must be polite!
So I not only said thank you to my big sister, but also pressed William's head to force him to say it! But...... Well...... The big sister didn't seem to be very happy, and when I wanted to hug her, she ran away......"
When she said this, she seemed to remember something she couldn't understand, Melanie blinked her big sparkling eyes, pinched her little skirt with some confusion and said:
She seemed to say...... She doesn't like children, saying that once children get acquainted with them, they tend to treat others as mothers, and then forget about her without permission......
Brother, I didn't understand what the big sister said, why did we forget about her after we got acquainted with her? ”
