Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

From another dead world, a gust of wind came, and amid the gray mist, a giant cyan head was slowly outlined in the void.

The face of the head was thick, and the skin was like a wax sculpture of a dead person, without any color. It has a pair of wind-catching ears as big as cattail leaf fans, and two dazzling silver hooks are made into earrings, passing through the earlobes and making a tinkling sound in the cold wind. There are six red dots on the bald head, like a monk.

Coupled with the broad nose, the thick flesh on the face, the solemn expression, and the majestic appearance, it really looks like a Buddha.

However, the face of this Buddha statue has only one head hanging in the air, and the skin is as blue as a dead person. It is not reminiscent of a Buddha at all, but rather like an evil ghost with a green face and fangs.

Chen Ye finished the entire performance, put down the suona in his hand, touched his chin, and carefully observed the audience gathered today.

The head that was half-suspended in the air, with its eyes as big as copper bells, was also looking at him, but its face was dull, its eyes were blurred, and it had no expression at all.

"Is this a common situation in the summoned spirit world?" Chen Ye's mouth twitched.

He observed that the energy field of this head was dim and filled with thick fog, and was not as strong as Yu Xian.

Whether one has complete self-awareness is still unknown.

At this moment, bloody words gradually appeared near the head——

[Monk, smells of musty, sour sweat, dead people...all stink! 】

[Only there is no copper smell. 】

[The front is compassionate like a Buddha, the back is ferocious like a demon...]

"Buddha? Is it related to the copy of Leiyin Temple? This is a high-sequence existence..."

Chen Ye's mind moved slightly, and he roughly guessed the background identity of this head from the bloody text.

Among the later difficult dungeons, there is a [Da Leiyin Temple] dungeon with an S+ difficulty coefficient, which has a deep connection with the characteristics related to "Buddha".

But in fact, the so-called Buddha is actually the twin form of a high-sequence [Devil].

One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon.

This head seems to have very low energy, but if it can be related to the [Buddha-Demon Twins] in the later stage of [Demon], it will not be that simple.

Of course, this head is not complete, and it has reached [Twin Forms of Buddha and Demon], it is already a demon after the fourth transformation, and it is likely to incorporate the characteristics of [Thousand-Faced Buddha].

However... this head may be just one of the faces of the Thousand-Faced Buddha, and therefore does not have complete "self-awareness".

I thought I could summon the rich woman again...

Unexpectedly, it was just a monk who came.

The bloody text has also been introduced...

The monk's body smelled of all kinds of things, except the smell of copper.

You were extremely poor during your lifetime, how can you expect to find any wealth after your death?

But no matter what, performance fees still have to be paid, right?

Chen Ye played the erhu and conveyed the idea of ​​asking for fees with his spiritual power.

The giant head paused for a moment, then suddenly opened its mouth and spit out something with a vomiting sound!

A yellowed scroll was "pulled" out from the mouth of the giant head like ramen noodles, accompanied by the stench of age and decay.

Chen Ye was a little dumbfounded.

After waiting for a long time, is the performance fee just a bunch of "pulled" stuff?

At this moment, bloody words gradually appeared around the scroll——

[The sealed scroll is a relic from three hundred years ago, but will it ever see the light of day again? 】

[Unfortunately, the Buddha nature is all scattered and empty, just broken copper and iron. 】

[But as part of the remains of the relics, if used as materials, it is possible to turn decay into something magical...]

After spitting out the scroll, the head suddenly turned into a ball of gray mist, passed through the swirling door, and disappeared.

Only the yellowed and wrinkled scrolls on the ground were left, lying quietly.

"A relic from three hundred years ago?"

This familiar vocabulary caught Chen Ye's attention, and he picked up the scroll with a thought.

The scroll is very worn and the writing on it has long been obliterated.

Judging from the material of the paper, it should be the talisman paper commonly used in temples, but over time, the Buddha nature has long since dissipated, leaving only a decaying smell.

Chen Ye opened the pupil of luck and observed further...

At this moment, the scroll actually split into a weak long bridge of purple energy, connecting one of the glazed stars around the aura of luck.

The pupils reflected the brilliant light, and Chen Ye immediately analyzed this luck halo:

"Liu Li, it's related to special items."

"At this stage, there are many opportunities to obtain characteristic items throughout the City of Destiny."

"The scroll is combined with a long bridge of purple energy and glazed stars... Does that mean that if you meet the help of a noble person, you can make this scroll into a special prop?"

"correct!"

"Tang Wu has been promoted to [Apocalypse Constructor], and his [Wanhua Drawing] seems to have many methods for making relics?"

"Perhaps, I can take the scroll and ask Tang Wu if it can be made into a special prop?"

According to the tips given by [Research on Scarlet Letters], this scroll is a relic from three hundred years ago, and this critical time point appears frequently.

It seems that three hundred years are used as a boundary to differentiate into different eras.

Therefore, since this scroll is a relic, and the prompt also mentions the possibility of "turning decay into magic", it means that there is still value to be discovered.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately put away the scroll and prepared to go out to the Manufacturing Association.

After putting on the tattered clothes of a homeless man, Chen Ye's face suddenly seemed to have countless bugs crawling inside, bulging in patches, squirming and changing, and in the blink of an eye, it turned out to be another face.

An ordinary face.

Before, I had this face when I met Matthew, Tang Wu and others.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings when they meet, Chen Ye plans to meet in the same way as before.

After getting ready, he walked to the door, locked the door of the Honesty Restaurant, hung a small wooden sign saying "not open yet", and then left.

When he left, there seemed to be some shadow inadvertently flashing next to him...

…………

When Chen Ye came to the pedestrian street, people gradually appeared on the road shrouded in white fog.

Most passers-by were wearing ordinary sportswear.

A small number of employees in the workplace are wearing suits. They have an extraordinary temperament, walk with style, and look like successful people.

Occasionally, you can see some players wearing strange clothes, which seem to have good status symbols.

Chen Fang took a quick glance, and when his eyes fell on the heads of passers-by, words composed of blood-colored words gradually appeared——

【Chef Apprentice】

【Dress Designer】

【Glutton】

【sculptor】

Each of these identity nameplates seemed to present the corresponding occupations of the passing entities in Chen Ye's field of vision for the first time.

"This month's [Scarlet Research] talent is really useful!" Chen Ye sighed inwardly.

You know, being able to know the identity of the opponent at a glance before the battle is an ability comparable to the top information professions in the strange era!

After arriving in reality...this ability becomes even more important!

Mink Street, who fought the most fiercely in the encounter, used this month's combat experience to tell all players——

"The player civil war in Strange Era is essentially an information war."

The more fully you understand your enemy and make targeted preparations, the greater your chances of winning.

With the talent of [Scarlet Research], one can see the professional identity of the enemy player at a glance. This is almost like playing with the opponent's cards in hand.

"We must get to the top of the list as much as possible and retain the exclusive talent of [Scarlet Research]!"

Unlocking the two talents [Scarlet Research] and [Luck Halo] at the same time, Chen Ye is almost full in terms of information.

In a strange world, the most dangerous thing is often the unknown.

In contrast, the most valuable ability is naturally the intelligence method to obtain unknown information.

As Chen Ye concentrates his thoughts, the bloody message box above the player's head will change...

[A chef who beats dogs with meat buns! 】

[A sculptor with rough skills, how can he still open a shop? 】

[The sad and depressed hymn singer sings positive and uplifting songs with the most underworld emphasis. 】

【……】

Looking at these lines of bloody text, Chen Ye sometimes wondered if this guy had a tongue with a hedgehog shell?

Everything you say is barbed!

It seems that as long as you don't find fault in a word, you will feel uncomfortable all over.

and……

Continuing to study the word "blood", Chen Ye found that it would only give critical statements.

The tone is a bit biased towards making sharp comments on certain aspects.

Under normal circumstances, most of these comments are spam. Except for the usefulness of the profession at the beginning, it is almost difficult to give valuable comments.

When Chen Ye looked away from the passers-by and landed on the shops on both sides, he could still get relevant descriptions.

[Closed shop]... This shop has been abandoned, the land title has disappeared, and the real estate inside may have lost value.

[Fish shop]... The shop was signed by Hua Shao and rented to players who wanted to take shelter from the rain. Of course, many players do not have business characteristics or professional status, so they can only stay in and sleep.

[Passionate Shop]...The curtains of the shop are tightly closed, and from the blurry halo revealed inside, two or even three or four figures can be seen, seemingly trying different positions and doing wrestling exercises.

When Chen Ye passed by [Passionate Shop], he could vaguely hear the sound of joy at the party by the river, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself:

“Waterfront parties never go out of style, they just have to be in a more appropriate location.”

Of course, occasionally you can see some open shops on the side of the pedestrian street.

[Halal BBQ restaurant, the BBQ made with vegetarian ingredients is top-notch in appearance and tastes even for dogs! 】

[Fashion clothing store, the clothes inside even Grandma Wolf think are outdated. 】

[Thriller Paradise is really fun, because you are risking your life! 】

For stores that are in operation, the reviews given by [Scarlet Research] appear to be longer.

"It's a pity that these stores don't have pollution properties, otherwise they might be able to absorb it."

Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry that he couldn't rely on the characteristics of [parasitic land deed] to take over more surrounding shops for himself.

At this moment, he passed by an [unfortunate store], and the red text in the information box suddenly changed.

[Oh, you are so unlucky to rent this shop. You have to live with dirty things as your neighbor. How can a coward sleep well? 】

boom!

At this moment, the door of [Unlucky Shop] was suddenly knocked open!

The shop owner who rushed out was a young and beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties. She was disheveled and wearing loose pajamas. She almost rolled out of the door and rushed out of the door.

There was a look of panic on her face, as if she had seen something terrible. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes, and ran out onto the street as if she was running away, as if she needed help.

At this time, the plain white feet stepped on the muddy road after the rain. The soles of the feet were stained black, and the insteps were stained with a few drops of sewage.

The woman's eyes looked haggard, and she suddenly turned her head and looked into the eyes of Chen Ye who was passing by. She seemed not to have expected that there would be someone nearby, and her face froze, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Is there anyone who needs help?" Chen Yewen asked.

"No... no..." the woman smiled reluctantly, "it was just a nightmare."

Chen Ye's eyes moved up inadvertently and saw her identity information——

【Dream Weaver】

The moon type, a half-step second-level career related to nightmares, has the ability to control dreams, but it turns out that it causes nightmares?

Chen Ye rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

However, the woman was very frightened. She was more frightened when she saw Chen Ye than when she saw a ghost. She hurried back to the shop and closed the door tightly with a bang.

He stared at the other person's back as he closed the door, and saw a mountain of dark yellow that blended in with the entire store, but darkness lurked around him.

The sign hanging on the eaves clearly says——

【Insomnia Treatment Clinic】

"Ma'am, you can't sleep well. Are you sure it can cure insomnia?"

Chen Ye complained silently and glanced around, observing the surroundings.

This is a very small shop, estimated to be only a dozen square meters in area. The neighboring shops on both sides are all made of cheap iron sheets and made of old-fashioned doors that slide up and down. The red text only gives a simple description -

【Closed shop】

Among them, Chen Ye saw a shop with faint traces of ink, shrouded in gray fog, hidden in the closed shop adjacent to the woman.

Chen Ye took a few steps forward, and the black mark seemed to sense something, and he quickly ran away.

"Afraid?"

Staring at the darkness in the shop, which was once again shrouded in white mist, Chen Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that the things here were not simple.

Apart from the inky blackness, the moving gray air mass was actually what Chen Ye cared about the most.

It seemed to have "autonomous consciousness" and the instinct of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages". When Chen Ye approached, it immediately chose to flee far away.

Judging from the young woman's luck aura, this thing will also cause some bad effects.

Chen Ye did not take any unnecessary actions to avoid alerting the enemy.

He walked to the door of the woman's store, knocked politely three times, and without waiting for the woman to open the door to respond, said directly outside the door:

"If you need help, you can go to Shop No. 5 on West Street 3rd Road and find an honest restaurant."

After leaving these words, Chen Ye left without looking back.
