Abnormal paradise

"If one survives, there will be future fortunes!"

It was not the sword fairy who laughed so cheerfully, but that was actually the case.

Not to mention the skyrocketing contribution value, the dropped items from the enhanced infant dire wolf alone were worth the two's narrow escape, because it actually dropped a weapon, plus an inlay that could increase damage.

…

[Dire Wolf Gloves] (Light/Basic)

Weapon quality: average

Attack distance: very short

Damage level: Weak

Equipment special effect: Slam (passive effect, causing double damage to targets whose strength level is not higher than yourself)

Requirements: Life Level 3, Strength Level 2, Agility Level 2

Introduction: This pair of gloves should have more powerful attack power, but due to the impact of the virus, the internal structure was destroyed, which not only reduced its power, but also added more stringent usage conditions to avoid potential viruses from affecting the user. . However, even so, this pair of gloves is still commendable. The remnant soul of the dire wolf attached to it can provide a powerful boost for every attack you make.

…

This is the first piece of equipment that Ember has obtained through battle. It has to be said that although the conditions for use are very strict, it is still full of exciting advantages. Whether it is reaching a weak attack level or looking at simple and crude equipment special effects, it is worth fighting for by a pair of players.

However, even those who were not swordsmen just looked at it with envy for a few more times, and then chose the inlay that could increase the damage, [Dire Wolf Fang] as a trophy.

"If this is a sword, even if I don't care, I still have to snatch it from you."

Instead of the Sword Immortal sighing, Ember put away his gloves with a smile. This piece of equipment would undoubtedly bring a huge improvement to him now. Don’t forget, Ember also has [Activity] that can increase the “slowness” effect. Software's Greedy Appetite], only by using two weapons alternately can he resolve possible embarrassing situations. And as long as he upgrades his character level once more, he will have enough points to meet the conditions for use.

Yi Yan looked at his contribution bar, which was more than half in progress, and secretly realized that the time was not far off.

Chirp!

After the fierce battle, the skinny monkey seemed very excited. It circled the body of the dire wolf twice, and then rushed into its original residence to check. However, the stench coming from the cave soon made it cover its nose. Withdrew, because the dire wolf had already ruined its hometown.

With a look of regret on his face, the thin monkey thought about it and decided to give up here. It finally figured out that instead of staying in this gloomy cave, it would be better to live back in the tree. Anyway, the hateful exploiter is dead. , and the rest of the day will naturally be left to its own devices, and it has just gone into the cave to search for some sweet tree fruits, which is enough for it to have enough food and clothing for a few days.

Before leaving, the thin monkey looked at the two players, hesitated, and decided to give them some fruits as a thank you. At the same time, he carried a long stick and came to Ember, scratching his ears and cheeks and screaming.

At first, Ember didn't understand what he was thinking, but the sudden system prompt really explained to him what an unexpected surprise was.

[Tip: Strengthen the baby monster monkey and hope to teach you the active skill - "Stick Skill·Headshot". 】

[Tip: The learning condition is that the agility level reaches one point. 】

…

Skill name: [Stick Skill·Headshot]

Type: Active

Effect: When using a stick weapon to attack the target's head, it ignores a layer of defense level.

Requirements: Agility level one

Introduction: This skill will let you understand what it means to beat a dog on the head with a stick.

…

When he saw the range skills that were not possessed by the Sword Immortal, Yu Yan felt envious. He still couldn't figure out the specific conditions for learning the skills, but luckily, the thing he wanted came to his doorstep.

Adding the remaining important attributes to agility, Ember finally learned his first active skill.

The thin monkey carried a long stick, and finally cast a look at the embers saying, "Do it well, don't be embarrassed." Then he picked up the fruit and skipped away like an expert from this world.

The person next to him was not the Sword Immortal. He had no idea what was going on from the beginning to the end. He kept eating the fruit to restore his blood volume. It wasn't until Yi Yan explained in words that he suddenly spat out a bunch of fruit cores. He had to sigh once again. Luck is so enviable.

In fact, until now, the Sword Immortal has already guessed that Yi Yan has to surpass him in terms of level and equipment, especially Yi Yan's pocket, which is not big in size, but can hold a lot of things. He only knows that there are two of them. Reinforcement materials and a pair of dire wolf gloves, most of the sweet tree fruits that were fed to the thin monkey were stored in Ember, and his backpack looked to be of medium size, but in terms of capacity, it was actually not as big as the palm-sized fanny pack. .

This gave Not the Sword Immortal a clearer understanding of Yu Ember's last assessment results.

However, it’s not that the Sword Immortal didn’t have evil intentions for the equipment, because he was deeply aware that Ember definitely contributed a lot to being able to complete two extremely difficult side tasks so quickly. He is often regarded as a thigh by others, but this time he had to hug his thigh. In order to feel a little more confident when picking up equipment and materials, he had to risk his life to take a risk. Fortunately, in the end, he survived by chance and not only got The desired inlay also allows this cooperation to continue to be maintained on an equal footing.

"I'm a veteran player, so I can't paddle!"

This is not what the Sword Immortal thought of.

Yi Yan didn't know his specific thoughts. After gaining something again, he immediately began to examine his own situation and sort it out.

…

Name: [Embers]

Character level: 4

Identity and position: Foundation reserve employee (No. D1106)

Basic attributes: blood volume 30, sanity 30, physical fitness 10+3 {10+ (life level + will level)/2}

Core attributes: Life level 3, Will level 1+2

Special backpack space: [Level 3 Pea Shooter] (Plant Partner)

Foundation credit points: 1100 (wolf removal 500 + insect removal 20*20+100*2)

…

Compared with the state when he first entered the Dark Veil Forest, Ember's biggest gain is naturally a pile of equipment and strengthening materials. In fact, even if he quits the assessment now, he has fully earned back the 3,200 credit points he spent at the beginning.

At this time, the game time has only reached eighteen minutes, and there are still ten minutes left before the third-level pea shooter can take shape. Of course, that is after getting the supporting nutrient battery. Yu Yan can use this to make a judgment. He and Not Sword Immortal advanced ten minutes faster than the normal process. It was really because the two of them cooperated too smoothly along the way, especially when they grabbed a key node. ——

Save the skinny monkey!

If they didn't arrive in time, the fate of the thin monkey could be imagined, and he would definitely die from the mouth of the Shadow-Eating Insect.

Without the help of Slender Monkey, they certainly have no chance of defeating the dire wolf, because Ember has reason to believe that the dire wolf's combat effectiveness will gradually decrease over time, because the unknown virus will bring it to its end.

Before they arrived, the Dire Wolf's health had been reduced by 40% due to the virus, which also greatly reduced the difficulty of the battle. Ember inexplicably felt that the ten minutes they had gained would help further trigger the secrets of the main mission.

"Go in?"

"go in……"

The two players, who had eaten and drank enough to restore their health, walked into the dark cave side by side in line with the creed of never stealing, no, never wasting.

The visibility in the cave is extremely low, and it's filled with a stinky smell. How bad is the odor? It's just stinky.

Fortunately, the space in this cave was not large, and the two of them reached the end in a short time. In front of them, there were many white bones, broken branches, and the source of the stench - rotting corpses.

"No equipment and no materials!"

The Sword Immortal said very angrily, and then he inevitably inhaled the stench. It was really unbearable, and he exited the cave directly, but he did not notice the strange look on Ember's face.

The first time he saw the rotting corpse, Yu Yan realized that it was the pelvic bone of an adult male. The reason for this judgment was of course not because he also worked as a forensic doctor, but because he had painted too many portraits of all kinds of people. He has also specialized in studying human bones, so he is extremely familiar with the structure of the human body. In addition, although he did not have forensic knowledge, he could tell from the decomposition that the man's death was not long ago.

who is he?

Why did he die here?

What was the real cause of his death?

Yi Yan didn't know all of this, but based on the available information, he always felt that this forest was not only shrouded in darkness, but also filled with eerie and mysterious shadows.

[Hint: Your perception broke through the darkness and saw something hidden in the pile of corpses. 】

Ember was about to leave the cave when his eyes suddenly focused, and his little perception level helped him find a piece of paper that had fallen near the body.

Ember picked it up and saw that the paper was stained. The only useful information he could make out was a line of printed font indicating the time.

"October 26, 2077 in the wasteland calendar..."
