Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

After taking this bite of [Bloody Mary], you immediately feel a spicy taste in your belly. However, it blends with the rich jam flavor, giving people an intoxicating feeling.

People feel empty and bored most of the time...

Therefore, this kind of stimulating alcoholic substance can often make the brain feel intoxicated instantly, as if it is completely alive at this moment.

The thought of "one more drink" arises uncontrollably in their hearts.

However, the two of them soon realized that the "controlled dose" mentioned by Yako must be a safe amount.

If it exceeds this threshold, it will cause harm to itself, and it is very likely that unnecessary features will be integrated, leading to feature conflicts and an out-of-control state.

Realizing this, they all felt frightened and secretly sighed that in the world of the strange era, temptations were everywhere.

Even if it is a trivial and ordinary thing, if you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss of eternal destruction.

When acting in such a world, you must maintain a clear consciousness at all times and warn yourself over and over again——

"Be careful! Be careful! Be careful again!"

Click! Click!

Suddenly, the light bulb above the head emitted warm yellow light, as if the circuit entered an unstable state, began to flash violently, and made a "sizzling" sound.

The light flickers on and off, repeatedly flashing light and shadow on the four dark gray walls.

The originally sealed space seemed to suddenly become dark due to the unstable and violent shaking of the light source.

At this moment, a whistling spiritual wind suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

The shadow curtain, like a tidal wave, slowly spreads on the ground, extending to the corner, forming a deep vortex in the corner, and then slowly forming a human-shaped black shadow contour.

Chen Ye's figure emerged from the shadows, blending into the deep darkness. His deep and soft voice echoed in the sealed lounge, and he chuckled:

"Good morning, ladies."

Xiaoling and Nine-tailed Fox stood up at the same time and bowed slightly to Chen Ye.

Opening the Eye of Luck, Chen Ye's eyes fell on Xiao Ling, and he saw that the Xuanhuang around the girl was obviously stronger than when he first saw it. There is a bit more lingering sky blue between her eyebrows, which means that her physical condition and mental health have improved recently, especially her sleep... it must be much better than before.

It's just that... Chen Ye squinted his eyes and found that outside Xiao Ling's aura, there was a deep darkness wrapped in gray mist, spreading slowly like tentacles, as if quietly approaching her.

But this dark aura did not reach the inside of the halo's aura, but lingered in the outside world, indicating that the danger only existed nearby and did not come in a real sense.

at the same time……

Chen Ye's eyes fell on the lady in professional uniform standing to the left of Xiao Ling.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that there was a faint beard of glazed light next to the lady, connecting him, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Glass halo? Is it related to me? Can she bring me special items?"

However, this halo has gone through layers of virtualization and looks quite dim, like a lingering aura that has not yet formed a substance.

With the talent of [Research on Blood Letters], Chen Ye moved his eyes slightly upward and looked at the woman's career information box——

[Recorder of Diseases]

"Changing careers three times in half a step?"

Chen Ye immediately recalled the relevant information about [The Recorder of Diseases] in his mind:

"The first-level [Recorder] plus the first-level [Audience] form the second-level [Witness], plus half of the [Blast System], and the half-step to the second-level [Speed ​​Book Recorder]."

"Of course, since the compatibility between [Blast System] and [Record System] is not very good, the ability given by the characteristics is only an extremely fast copying speed."

"[The Wind Recorder] has a writing speed similar to that of the [Tentacle Monster]. If others can read ten lines at a time, then [The Wind Recorder] can read ten lines with a stroke."

"This kind of profession can continuously collect information through 'recording', thereby controlling part of the power of what is seen, heard, and seen."

"If you advance to the third level of [Summoning Envoy], you can even record abyss monsters and some special creatures, and use detailed descriptions to summon and project them into reality. While replicating some of the power, you can also trend, Harness its characteristics.”

“[The recorder]’s famous saying is: I come, I see, I witness!”

"But they also have a warning: Don't peep at anything beyond your own personality."

Once some sinister, chaotic, and beyond one's own personal capacity are rashly recorded in the "record book", the book will be broken at the least, and then involved in damage to the mental level, and at worst, the book will be broken. Otherwise, he will go completely crazy and lose control, and all parts of his body will explode. Each broken piece of flesh will carry a part of his consciousness. Although he will not die completely, he will need to endure pain hundreds of times more terrible than death!

If untrue information is recorded, the recorded content will automatically disappear from the book after a period of time.

At the same time, part of the [Recorder]'s mental energy will be consumed as compensation.

Taking advantage of this... [Recorder] and [Detective] are almost a perfect match! As long as the detected clues are recorded in books, if they are retained, it will be a correct judgment. If they disappear, then there will be errors and deviations in the judgment.

But the advantage is that this price can be recovered well through sleep.

Therefore, this [Recorder] was probably a frequent visitor to the "Insomnia Rescue Center" before, and he and Xiao Ling got to know each other and developed a relationship between friends.

At this moment, Xiao Ling turned around and introduced Chen Ye:

"This is my friend, you can call her Nine-tailed Fox."

Nine-tailed fox...this name seems a bit familiar...

Just when Chen Ye was confused, his spirituality suddenly surged, and memory fragments suddenly appeared in his mind like a fleeting glance.

At first, he came to the strange era, and learned how to roast chestnuts with sugar from the old lady who sold them. He used the [Weird Black Market] platform, and then made a trade with a player whose ID was [Nine-tailed Fox's Cat], and exchanged it for a spatula, which unlocked The characteristics of [Chef Apprentice].

"It turns out it's her!"

Chen Ye immediately recalled all the information about the "Nine-tailed Fox", and a lightning-like light seemed to flash in his pupils.

If he hadn't exchanged the spatula from the "nine-tailed cat", he wouldn't have been able to learn the exquisite cooking skills so quickly from the old woman selling chestnuts, let alone cook 10,000 portions of devil's cuisine later. Overtaking Hua Shao and becoming the key trump card in the finale.

From this perspective, the "nine-tailed cat" has a considerable causal relationship with himself.

Observing carefully with the Eye of Luck, Chen Ye discovered that in the outer area of ​​the "Nine-tailed Fox" aura, the misty purple mist, accompanied by glazed lines, was connected to the entire "Integrity Restaurant".

When she sat on the guest cushioned sofa across from her, the purple aura surrounding her became more prominent, thicker, and a bit richer.

This made Chen Ye even more certain... the "nine-tailed fox" was the "special guest" welcomed after this breakthrough in popularity.

He suddenly discovered that the "special guests" were not without reason. Whether it was the housekeeper next to Mr. Hua or the "nine-tailed fox" who arrived, he could see from the traces of "destiny" that there was something similar to himself. There is no relationship, but it is just waiting for an opportunity or an event to be fully activated.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye's eyes became a little deeper, and the figure blending into the darkness swayed like water waves with the night, rising and falling with the constantly fluctuating emotions in his heart.

"It seems like... although last month's weird value play ended, this kind of play has always been throughout the entire game..."

"However, acting is not just as simple as acting, it is also closely related to destiny..."

"The [Devil Detective] seems to have hinted something similar. I don't know what progress he has reached in his current exploration. If there is a chance, he will also inform the devil at the next gathering to see if he has any new ones. opinion."

Although Chen Ye's current exploration of the City of Destiny has entered a relatively rare area, exploring the sea of ​​[Spiritual World] and the lightless land of the underground world...

However, the power of an individual is limited after all, and the professional direction of the profession is also different.

perhaps……

Bai Chen relied on his special profession of [Detective] to see deeper and different places.

After retracting his divergent thoughts, Chen Ye refocused on the "nine-tailed fox" in front of him, and found that in the outer area of ​​her luck aura, there was also darkness wrapped in gray mist, which was strikingly similar to Xiao Ling.

However, the difference is that the darkness around the "nine-tailed fox" actually has a lingering glass halo, which seems to mean that she has a chance to get an opportunity from it?

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Ling and smiled gently:

"Did you encounter any trouble again when you brought your friends here this time?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Ling nodded seriously, not doubting Chen Ye's accurate judgment of her situation. She organized some words in her mind, and then began to state:

"Since I left the Insomnia Treatment Center, I have gone to find my friend and live together in the apartment building at No. 135 Annan Road."

"Although that building is wrapped in a bloody curtain, after a month of exploration, the players found that as long as they follow the rules there, they can get the right to live there for a month at the cost of a copper coin."

"Due to the recent poor market environment, many companies have greatly reduced their salaries and started to lay off employees frantically. Some companies have even started to delay the payment of wages."

"Our economy is not very good. After deliberation for a long time, we can only choose to live in the Blood Apartment. Compared with the recent ghost puppets on the pedestrian street, it is relatively stable."

"However, recently in the middle of the night, the nine-tailed fox can always hear a mysterious murmur coming from the ground, like a wizard chanting an ancient mantra, like a whisper of a curse."

"It is worth mentioning that there is no negative ground floor in the Bloody Apartment. It is a seventh-floor apartment building with only up and down stairs."

"But my friend heard a sound coming from underground..."

"Of course, I have also contacted other players, but I have not heard similar voices, including myself."

"I thought... my friend might run into some trouble. The first time I thought about it was if I could ask you for help?"

Chen Ye listened to Xiao Ling's narrative while analyzing the information in his mind.

When he heard "Annan Road", he frowned slightly. From the "Wanderer's Map" and recent experiences, he roughly knew that this was a road located on the edge of the pedestrian street.

Previously, when the [Dragon God Ceremony] caused a bloody flood and destroyed the paradise, "Annan Road" was naturally affected, but as a marginal area, the impact was not that serious.

As for "one copper coin" as the price, you can exchange for one month's right of residence...

In this regard, Chen Ye did not comment much.

In fact, judging from Xiao Ling's description, the Bloody Apartment needs to follow special rules, otherwise, some dangerous situations will occur.

In other words... Bloody Apartment needs to restrict a certain degree of freedom to avoid risks and cannot provide better personal protection.

Therefore, in this case, whether it is a copper coin or free, it is "equivalent", because living in this apartment does not bring real estate-like protection. From this perspective, compared with wandering on the street, , not much better.

after all……

In the current environment, there are many abandoned residential buildings nearby that are suitable for living, and there is no shortage of "rental houses". Of course, the rental price of such apartment buildings that cannot provide protection will not be much higher.

However, areas with more residential areas are generally concentrated on Mink Street near Lieyang Square.

But it has become a place run by thugs.

Not to mention humans, even dogs will be searched for some dog meat.

It's better to live directly in the bloody apartment...

As for the pedestrian street... Due to the recent surge in traffic, the recent rental price has risen to one hundred copper coins a month. Moreover, there are many fewer units. It is much more difficult to rent a suitable area for living than a while ago.

What's more, the pedestrian street is not absolutely safe. There was an incident of "Puppet Strange Story" a while ago. Even if you stay in the real estate, something may happen...

Therefore, Bloody Apartment is already a better place for players who are short on cash.

Not all players can find the environment with the most suitable conditions.

Chen Ye tapped the table and chair, his eyes fell on the "nine-tailed fox" and asked:

"Since you heard the sound coming from underground, why don't you choose to live in another area?"

The nine-tailed fox smiled bitterly and said: "Firstly, it's because I have no money, and secondly, after trying it out, I found that even if I moved to another place, I could still hear the vague murmurs coming from the direction of the bloody apartment, but it was farther away. It’s not that real.”

"But the sound can still be caught clearly by my ears."

"It seems to be calling me..."
