Chapter 525 The First Stop of the Journey Must Be Getting Lost

The truck was driving on the plain. The driver was a dog. Li Nuo was sitting in the car, holding the book he got from Jimmy No. 1.

Three hours had passed since they left the town.

Li Nuo read everything he could see.

The world was very large, nearly twice as large as the Earth he thought it was.

The Obsidian Country was 7,000 kilometers in one circle. There were 12 large cities and several small cities in the country. The main task required them to circle the country and return to the starting point within one month. It seemed to be a good deal, but in fact, it took exactly one month including the time spent on the "task points" along the way.

Of course, Li Nuo and his team did not plan to complete the main task.

The penalty for failure was not severe. It was just the system telling them that the main task could be put aside.

This showed that the key to the script was the side task.

Saving Jimmy No. 1's fate was their current "main task". In any case, the side task gave too much and could not be abandoned.

However, for cautious consideration, Li Nuo decided to use a prop to verify which option was better.

He took out a cube box from the bag on his waist.

[Divination card box: This is a divination device used when you don't know what is good. It can use three cards to tell you your future (often bad)]

One of the usable props left by Doraemon, also translated as fortune-telling box.

Believe in the child-rearing robots of the 22nd century. Their props can destroy the world when they are serious.

Tell the box what you want to divine, and it will show three picture cards as instructions.

"Complete the main line of the pilgrim."

After Li Nuo asked, three photos fell out of the square box.

In the first one, he was sitting in the carriage with a sad face.

In the second one, he was sitting in front of his own tombstone with a sad face.

In the third one, there was only a string of numbers, 10w.

"The reward given by the main line made me depressed, and the experience value may have only been 10w in the end..."

Li Nuo speculated so, and then wanted to ask the answer to the branch line.

The small box suddenly smoked.

"The harvest is too rich, so it can't calculate it?"

Those who can comfort themselves like this are crazy.

He licked his lips and made up his mind to work hard on the branch line, so he continued to read the book, because knowledge is power.

This time Li Nuo didn't guess the correct answer. The divination machine was damaged because the future was really overloaded, and it affected the years that lasted for more than ten thousand years.

Cha Bai came over, took the book from his hand, and looked at it in front of his eyes.

"Are you looking at the world landscape?"

"You have to know the technological level of this country."

Li Nuo glanced at the city photos on the pages of Cha Bai's book. Modern technology and the products of the retro era are intertwined to form the landscape here. For example, the town where they started maintained the original natural architectural form. The big city was full of high-rise buildings, steel bars and guide machines. The two cities a few miles apart seemed to be separated by several centuries with the naked eye. It was the basic operation of the composition of the fantasy world.

Since it is a world with technology, airplanes, railways, and long-distance transportation are all available. Players don't have to worry about the distance when doing things. What they need to care about is the strength of the world.

Even so, Cha Bai was still curious about one thing.

"Why did you run away from that village so honestly?"

Cha Bai put down the book in his hand and looked at him.

"That mayor is ridiculously powerful. Who knows how many powerful guys are hiding in the town? Besides, we have to go back. We can just rob the town before leaving. There is no need to do it there now."

Li Nuo gave an explanation.

In fact, he still felt that the mayor was a bit powerful. In addition, the strength of the "Border Prison" level was still unknown, and his own personality was prone to trouble. He chose to leave for the sake of caution.

According to the records in a book, although the Obsidian Kingdom has not been at war for many years, it had a war with something called "evil demons" in the border area a hundred years ago. After that battle, the country lost a large number of combat talents and issued a decree to train "pilgrims" and "mercenaries". Becoming a warrior to help the country do things and earning bounties became one of the means for poor people to cross classes. The town where the player appeared was one of them.

So, it is possible that some ordinary villager could use the "Demon God Burst Slash" by waving a pitchfork. It is always right to be careful when walking in this world.

So there is a situation where Li Nuo and his team would rather drive than use flying units. It is said that there are a large number of artificial guide machines in the sky within the territory, which are specially used to intercept unofficial flying vehicles. Driving has become the best solution for traveling.

"But..."

Cha Bai stuck his head out of the small window of the car, and his blue eyes were imprinted with the green sky.

She smiled coldly.

"It's beautiful here."

The dirt road was bumpy and the cargo box was shaking.

Li Nuo looked at her figure, thinking that there were no enemies, no unsolvable crises, and no terrible punishments in this script, so he leaned back in the seat, raised his hand to lower the brim of his hat, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Well, it's beautiful..."

The wheels of the truck rolled over the grass. The car had a high-speed propulsion device and arrived at their first mission point in the evening.

…

According to the [Guide Map], the first ring of the side quest to find the gear is near a dense forest city on the border of the country.

After getting off the car, Li Nuo took a book and read: "In the misty forest, a lighthouse will appear at night. It is said that there are ghosts wandering in it."

He closed the book and looked at the forest in front of him, which was so dense that the sunset couldn't penetrate the light. He couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Exorcising ghosts and monsters is his specialty.

behind,

Marjie was repairing the truck with his dog paws. Just now they hit a monster disguised as a rock. The guy was as tough as Cha Bai and broke the front of the truck.

"It doesn't matter if it can't be repaired. It's not easy to drive this broken car anyway."

Marjie despised him with dog eyes, which meant: Don't underestimate Emil, go and organize your equipment.

Li Nuo didn't want to organize his equipment at all, and he didn't intend to enter the dense forest. He wanted to set fire to the forest directly.

There is nothing that a fire cannot solve.

Li Nuo summoned Cuihua.

"You go for a walk in the woods."

"Can't you just let me burn down the forest?"

Cuihua opened her mouth wide, indicating that she wanted the reward first.

Li Nuo grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and stuffed it into Cuihua's mouth.

Cuihua licked her "lips", and the flame of fighting spirit suddenly ignited.

"I'll come as soon as I go~!"

It should be noted here that Cuihua is not a trash can. What it eats actually absorbs the "magic factors" in the food and converts them into nutrients. The "magic factors" in this world are abundant. It eats soil just like humans eat potato chips at home. You can taste it.

"Woof?"

Marger stared at the disappearing green flowers, feeling a little uneasy.

Li Nuo asked: "Are you worried that Lin Zi won't be able to light it?"

Marger nodded.

"It is indeed possible that it won't light up." Li Nuo said, "Otherwise, a logging team would have come over to mine it...but just in case."

He connected with Cuihua's line of sight and entered the edge of the dense forest.

When Cuihua spits fireballs into the forest, the flames are extinguished at the edges of the trees.

Cuihua was protected by the magic in the forest and disappeared into the air.

This scene happened to be seen by Cha Bai who was surveying the terrain not far away.

She touched the earring and said, "Don't bother. I tried it. You can't fly into the forest. The forest is protected by special magic. You can only go in honestly."

Li Nuo let out an unhappy "Che", and his evil dream was gone.

At this moment, Chabai had found the best route into the forest. When she was about to go back, a monster walked out of the woods beside her.

The body of this monster is composed of vines, as thin as a rope, coiled into a human-like torso and limbs. Its head is a stone the size of a palm, and a pair of bean eyes blink on the sharp-edged stone surface.

Cha Bai didn't feel that this guy had any malicious intentions, so she took out the [Warcraft Illustrated Book] from her arms.

The image of the monster appeared on the illustrated screen, and its information was read out by a cold mechanical voice:

[Vine martial artist, a gentle monster, but will always appear in front of someone with the ability to fight, and will only leave after a fight. Because he has martial virtue, he will not do anything to the enemy that will hurt his life. things]

[Many martial artists like to raise them and use them as fighting partners. There are also competitive games with this kind of Warcraft in some cities. However, most of them are artificially bred, because the overall strength of vine warriors in the wild is too high and it is difficult to Capture]

[Risk level: extremely low]

[Strength: High]

Cha Bai put away the illustrated book and looked at his opponent with a slight smile.

"Okay, let's have a fight!"

The vine martial artist raised his stone head and became fierce.

[Side mission has been triggered: Defeat a powerful martial artist]

[Task difficulty: lv99]

[Mission details: Defeat the "vine martial artist" only by means of close combat. Any use of other methods will be regarded as a lack of martial ethics and the mission will be regarded as a failure]

[Task Reward: Vine Fighter’s Fighting Secrets]

Five minutes later, Li Nuo and Marjie pushed the truck and found Chabai.

At this moment, Cha Bai was kneeling on the grass, his eyes empty and confused.

"I lost..."

"ah?"

Li Nuo frowned and listened to Cha Bai's story.

She just had a fight with that "vine martial artist". The opponent used his vine body to easily dodge her attack. All fighting skills could not hit the guy. Chabai was teased by the opponent and threw him over his shoulder. He was defeated. .

Cha Bai covered his face and shook his head.

"Why did I lose to a plant..."

Li Nuo took Cha Bai's [Warcraft Manual] and looked at the description of "Vine Warrior", then glanced at Cha Bai who was kneeling on the grass with a look that looked like a fool.

"Why don't you capture it and force it to reveal the location of its lair, so that we can capture its entire family and bring them to the city to be sold."

Chabai couldn't answer, and she wasn't that wicked.

However, this incident reflects a problem.

Cha Bai's fighting skills are theoretically on par with Li Nuo's, but he still lost to a Warcraft, which shows that the intensity of this world is indeed extremely high.

Li Nuo picked up Chabai and threw her into the truck.

He and Marjie sat in the driver's seat. To be precise, Marjie sat on Li Nuo's lap. After all, he was a dog and did not occupy any space.

As Li Nuo kicked up the stirrup and entered the forest, a line of text appeared in front of them.

[Entered the "Misty Forest"]

Li Nuo: "It feels like playing an RPG."

Marger: "Woof (huh)."

Cha Bai checked the things in the carriage and asked, "Li Nuo, have you stuffed all the useful props into the box?"

Li Nuo said "hmm".

The main props they carry in this script are... Doraemon's stuff, [Gwent Weather Card Set], the Witcher's potion, [Chestnut Wine] for restoring health, and the rest is Li Nuona A bag of alchemical potions.

Originally, Marger carried most of the guns, but after he turned into a dog, he couldn't take out those guns. It didn't matter. After all, the strength of this world was useless with the previous guns. It was a pity [Armstrong Spinner Armstrong] gun】.

Yes, Nokia is at Victor's place, and Lao Wei can bring them the supplies they need from space at any time. However, Lao Wei himself is not a player, and there is a limit on the number of things he can carry. He usually brings only a few bullets.

The rest are things like catering. The dishes made by Die are all stored in Li Nuo's box.

Because we have entered the danger zone.

Cha Bai is adjusting his robot hand.

Her current left arm is [Nero's Robotic Arm], and its appearance is not as good-looking as the [Levitating Hand] when it is translucent. Marger deliberately made it old when he made it, making it look plainer, so as not to offend people. Notice.

Cha Bai took off a bullet from the bullet strap on his thigh and gently tapped it into the groove of his arm.

Use the drawings from the "Devil May Cry" world in the mall to create bullets and put them into your arms to form functions.

There are six types of bullets, slowdown, laser cannon, Mega Man's light ball, thunderstorm, powerful charge, and gravity.

Cha Bai likes to use strong charge because it can be used with new underwear.

[Bunny girl’s underwear +17]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment requirements: long legs and big butt]

[Effect 1: The destructive power of using a hammer +15%]

[Effect 2: Resistance to physical attacks +15%]

[Brief description: The person who invented Bunny Girl is simply a genius]

This piece of clothing comes from the MOD clothes of the previous scenario. It is the only MOD that can be used in the [Wardrobe] title in recent times.

It was originally a coat, which did not match the characteristics of the brown-white dress [Shanoya's dress]. Marger used a sewing needle to change it into an underwear version. In fact, the high-heeled shoes and high heels were removed.

Later, I asked Sauron to help me get some stones to unlock and upgrade, and I got +17 in one go.

Chabai likes the entry that can increase the destructive power of the hammer.

And with it, you can say goodbye to the T-shirts you always wear.

After Chabai selected the robot hand, he took out his favorite hammer from the [Black Magic Encyclopedia] and swung it a few times in the carriage to feel the increased power brought by the underwear.

[Zero Hammer +18].

It still looks like an ordinary hammer with a long handle. There are several wires entwined on the hammer handle. When it needs to be transformed, the wires are used as a medium to transmit magic power.

After the ax and hammer +18, Chabai deliberately canceled the ax mode so that it could instantly transform into the second form of the heavy hammer.

Because she loves the hammer so much.

In the heavy hammer form, it comes with increased fire damage, and the power bottle socket in the hammer handle has been cancelled.

The power bottle can now be used directly on the robotic arm, which saves the thickness of the weapon and increases the strength of the arm.

In addition, in order to match the mechanical arm, [Xia Nuoya's long skirt] has been modified and the long-sleeved gloves have been cancelled.

Every part of the equipment, especially clothes, has a meaning. After the gloves are cancelled, the "all damage increased by 5%" in the entry disappears, but it doesn't matter, because the long skirt has been upgraded to give new things.

[Xia Nuoya’s long skirt (modified) +18]

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment requirements: reaction 99, spiritual power 99, constitution 99]

[Effect 1: The total amount of magic value increases by 35%, the magic factor recovery speed is increased, the "Ring of Destiny" accumulation speed is increased, and the damage of blunt weapons is increased]

[Effect 2: The scales of the Overlord Fire Dragon greatly absorb heat damage and have a fire resistance of 92%]

[Effect 3: The "Dominas Seal" that can be carried +1 (originally it can only carry two engravings)]

[Effect 4: No matter what posture you adopt, you will never be exposed (entry on the law of cause and effect)]

[Brief description: The only weakness of this suit is the back, because the back is exposed]

[Note: There are two "defense beads" embedded in the clothes]

After Cha Bai moved his body, he looked out the window.

She pushed down the tactical goggles that served as a headband and covered her eyes.

[Yorha black goggles (referred to as tactical goggles) +18]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Equipment requirements: Yorha unit resume, electronic eye, insight 20]

[Effect 1: The target HP can be observed, and certain damage values ​​can be observed (if the attack speed is too fast, it cannot be seen)]

[Effect 2: Analyze potential threats nearby]

[Effect 3: On the basis of "Effect 2", pretending not to be seen can trigger a "Reflex Arc Acceleration" effect]

[Brief description: Blind man]

Through the detection of the goggles, Cha Bai did not see any danger nearby.

"There's no danger."

"I didn't feel it either."

Li Nuo replied.

He found it strange that Dinisha's perception was said to be able to detect potential risks far away, but the misty forest was calm and safe like a family grove.

Moreover, the clothes Li Nuo wore could also increase his perception, and there was no premonition of danger.

[Blooded Blade’s Black Order Coat +18]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attribute bonus: Physique +12]

[Equipment requirements: Strength 20, reaction 20, spiritual power 40, insight 90, a poison resistance ability]

[Effect 1: Resistance to "Full Curse" attacks increased by 89%]

[Effect 2: After formulating your own beliefs, the effect of Holy Light skills increases by 12%]

[Effect 3: Increase the perception of "demon" creatures]

[Special entry: a white scarf that sacrifices the collar, and puts beads on the scarf to form a "blade medicine"]

[Brief description: No physical defense at all, purely relying on faith]

A new addition to the list of effects is increased danger perception, especially against monsters.

According to some records in this world book, the foggy forest is very dangerous, but firstly there is no fog, and secondly there is no danger.

"It shows great danger..."

Li Nuo stared with dead eyes.

He also wanted to try out the equipment here, and then decide how to use [World Core Fragments] and [Entry Modification White] to change the equipment.

Now, the equipment in his and Cha Bai's hands has been basically upgraded to about +18.

Li Nuo's cane and pistol are another matter.

The materials and gold coins consumed for the above-mentioned upgrades alone are so huge that it would require an ordinary guild of more than thirty people to devote resources to achieve it.

However, their upgrades cost them almost nothing of their own.

Sauron did some good deeds in a certain script. He got back a sack of [Unlocking Stones], and paired them with Marger's [Artisan's Sunglasses], which was complementary and coordinated.

In terms of gold coins, Nanami received new orders after experiencing the live broadcast of comics. Wenke saw business opportunities and turned the bar into the "Nanami Ruins". He defrauded a lot of money, and some of it was converted into gold coins and given to Li Nuo.

The little leader on the staff side gave Li Nuo some discount coupons.

Finally, rely on Chabai’s [Focuser] for further discounts.

Basically no money was spent.

This is additional income earned from investment in the tertiary industry, which is unstable. If Sauron does not obtain a large amount of material stones, and if Nanami's career reaches a bottleneck, this resource and income will basically be gone.

Therefore, Li Nuo and Marjie are still working hard to harm Xiao Wu in Basel, hoping that one day Xiao Wu will enlighten and use beauty to help Wenke create an industrial chain again.

"Maybe it will be dangerous if you go further inside."

Cha Bai comforted him.

"Even if you say so...but..."

Li Nuo hesitated to speak.

The first link of the side mission is in this forest, but the forest is too big, and there is no target if there is no danger.

"Go to heaven and see."

As Li Nuo spoke, he took out the [Bamboo Dragonfly] from his arms.

Yes, the [Bamboo Dragonfly] has been repaired, and it was the work of Eminem, a famous craftsman from Basel.

But it only lasts five minutes, which is better than nothing.

As soon as he put the bamboo dragonfly on Marjie's head, he noticed something strange.

Li Nuo hugged Marjie and looked back at Cha Bai.

"So strange..."

Chabai nodded.

"So strange..."

Marjie: "Wow (it's really strange)..."

Their truck disappeared at some point.

"I was driving just now, why am I walking now?"

Li Nuo's eyes widened, his brows furrowed, and thick fog rose around him.

…

Outside the misty forest.

"The three of them entered the forest."

The female thief with short red hair took the binoculars away from her eyes.

The male thief with wild blue hair was flipping through a "Danger Guide" and said: "There is a monster in that forest. Once you enter, you will never come out again..."

The two fell into silence.

After a few seconds, the man asked, "Do we still want to steal the dog?"

"Of course!" the woman frowned and yelled, "That dog can drive! It's definitely worth it!"

The two looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"There is no way...build a robot that can eliminate the fog, go in, steal the dog, and run away immediately."
