Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 419 It seems that the hard mode has been upgraded to hell mode?

About twenty minutes passed...

Behind them, the number of witches lining up to pass through the iron gate became increasingly rare.

"I guess nothing will happen..."

Chen Ye scanned the last batch of witches with the Eye of Luck, and found that although they did have a halo of luck symbolizing "disaster" on their heads, the color was not that bright, indicating that the crisis was not coming so soon.

If you go through this iron gate, there is a high probability that nothing will happen.

I couldn't help but secretly say it was a pity.

He stayed here temporarily because he wanted to see if anything happened to the witches.

Provide yourself with some copy of the intel.

But it is a pity that the subsequent witches have become very cautious in their actions and are less likely to cause problems.

Since this [Desolate Slave Factory] involves the "long river of time", as a high-level copy, it is easy for special circumstances to occur that exceed the scope of one's own intelligence.

Therefore, Chen Ye will not give up every opportunity to understand the rules of this copy in depth.

This is also improving your survival rate...

Since there would be no problem with the last group of witches, Chen Ye shifted his gaze to the opposite side of the iron cable plank road.

Except for the fog hanging down below...

On the opposite bank in front of the plank road, there seems to be a layer of fog shrouding it.

Looking from a distance, one can barely see the outline of the object, but it is like a reflection in water. After halo scattering, it is difficult to see the specific structure of the object, and one can only barely see where it is and what is probably there.

Chen Ye walked towards the plank road.

When he stepped on the plank road, suddenly, the sound of wind, air flow... the sounds of everything around him seemed to slow down.

Originally, this [Desolate Slave Factory] still had a slightly noisy background.

This low noise is like the low whine of machinery and large fans in a factory workshop, coming from a distance. Although it doesn't sound that real, your hearing can easily adapt to this background white noise. , but at least these sounds do exist.

However, after stepping onto the plank road, all the sounds seemed to have stopped, the whole world was silent and quiet, and the brain instantly entered an ethereal and distant state.

Chen Ye looked sideways at both sides of the plank road. Thin white mist covered the bottom of the cliff, making it difficult to see what was below.

But there seemed to be some cold, dark tentacles dormant beneath the plank road.

If you slip and fall, or leave the plank road, something dangerous may happen.

"But...there are no special rules for this plank road. It seems a bit inconsistent with the common sense of the dungeon!" Chen Ye muttered in his heart.

so far.

[Lord of the Night] and [Witch of Instigation], the two core members of the dark night organization, must know something about this factory.

Therefore, take out the access control card and lift the restrictions on the iron gate.

I also know the rule of passing ten at once...

So.

When the other witches passed the plank road, they did not explain much, explaining that there was nothing special about this plank road.

But Chen Ye felt that the plank road was not simply set up here.

Every link in the copy should be designed.

There is obviously an abnormal space under this plank road, but I just gave a few simple instructions:

"Don't fall."

Are there any other rules? Not really.

This is a bit inconsistent with Chen Ye’s understanding of copy structure...

Just when he was about to take a step, reach the other side, and survey the surrounding environment...

"Crack! Click!"

Suddenly, the plank road began to shake.

Along with the surrounding wind noise, it suddenly began to intensify, as if breaking the silence and adding an extra layer of noise.

At the same time, the entire plank road shook slightly, as if something was about to come to life.

Chen Ye's pupils shrank slightly.

He saw hundreds of tentacles above his head, spreading around his aura, as if they were trying to break the boundaries and invade his territory.

Such a halo of luck often means that "disaster" is coming...

Without thinking, Chen Ye immediately activated the characteristics of the [Wanderer's Boots], taking one step as ten steps and quickly crossing the plank road.

The length of the plank road is not very long, only about thirty meters.

With the characteristics of [Wanderer's Boots], he could reach the other side in just two or three quick steps.

Boom! ! !

There seemed to be a roaring sound like a water pump exploding in my ears...

Chen Ye stepped out from the plank road...

The harsh wind, the explosive whistling sound, and the vibrating sound in my mind all disappeared.

The low roar of the workshop engine and the low noise of the huge fan, along with the whispers of witches discussing in the distance, came to my ears again, as if they were returning to the present world from some distant shore.

Chen Ye looked back again. The plank road behind him was silent and motionless, as if it was integrated with this desolate scene. It existed forever, as if it had never changed for thousands of years, as if the abnormal turmoil he had just experienced was just It's just an illusion.

"Strange……"

"Why does it seem like something special will happen when it's my turn?"

Chen Ye couldn't help but frowned, wondering if this copy was targeting him?

When crossing the iron gate, the time was inexplicably shorter than that of other witches.

When passing the plank road, other players had no problem at all. When it was their turn to go on the bridge, it started to shake.

Fortunately... because Chen Ye was relatively behind, he set foot on the plank road.

Most of the witches in front have passed, and there are not many witches behind. Some are stopping to watch, some are waiting for their companions, and some have passed the plank road before Chen Ye.

Therefore, this time Chen Ye was alone on the plank road.

This unusual turmoil was not known to the other witches...

"You have to be careful next time." Chen Ye murmured in his heart.

After all, I don’t know if this copy is targeting me intentionally or unintentionally because I am holding the special item that exploded from the skinny old man’s body.

It’s different from what other players have experienced…

Even if they are facing the same level, other players may be playing in normal mode, while they are playing in hard mode.

That means that other witches cannot serve as stones for him to find his way across the river.

Once you encounter any danger, you need to rely on the exclusive talent of [Eye of Luck] to predict it in advance and then take measures to deal with it.

In addition, beware of the [Night Lord] and [The Witch of Instigation] discovering something special about themselves...

Thinking of this, Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a little sore in his balls.

It seems that hard mode has been upgraded to hell mode?

now. After passing the plank road, the vague outline gradually became clear, outlining the outlines of mechanical workshops.

Those huge factories stood under the sky filled with gray fog. The thick smoke from the chimneys seemed to form clouds and mist, blocking the sun, and there was no sunlight all year round.

"Follow the queue and form a square array."

Under the guidance of the leader witch, the witches present continued to form a phalanx team, and under the protection of the formation curtain, walked towards the workshop building ahead.

soon.

As the team moved forward, the outline of the factory came into view, getting closer and closer.

Chen Ye couldn't help but frowned.

Wandering near the factory, the strange halo of luck caught his attention.

At this moment, there are silhouettes made of gray mist, hovering above the factory in humanoid form.

However, these gray shadows are quite special. They actually have human shapes, lingering in the sky directly above the factory like silhouettes. Sometimes they disappear and sometimes they gather together, like twinkling stars, but they give people a strange feeling.

At the same time, some black lines can be seen on the gray shadow's body from time to time, bound on their hands and legs.

The bodies of those figures are all normal, with an average height of about 1.7 meters.

It can be said……

Such a normal human form is relatively rare in the middle and later games of "Strange Era".

Even in the early stages, as long as it is integrated with the characteristic items of the [Glutton] sequence, it is basically far away from normal people.

"These gray shadows... seem to be bound to this factory..."

Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly, and he always felt that these gray shadows were somewhat similar to the signs of luck seen in [Pollution Paradise] at night, at midnight, when spirituality is particularly strong.

I remember when I first arrived at the park, once night came, all kinds of contaminated monsters would appear on the streets.

At that time, I had just signed a contract with the "Integrity Restaurant". It was the first time in this city that I had my own real estate and was protected.

Then, using that place as a base, when I looked out of the park through the glass display window...

At night, there is a similar gray fog.

However, after Chen Ye advanced to the spiritual sequence, he learned that there were more copies of the [spiritual world] in this world. Therefore, dealing with spiritual world creatures became a very normal thing, and it didn't matter. Pay attention to the nature of those gray shadows.

But what Chen Ye didn't expect was that... he would actually see similar existences in this [Desolate Slave Factory].

However, these gray shadows are even more special, as if they are bound to this place through some kind of contract.

What exactly does it do...

Don't know yet.

But Chen Ye was a little more vigilant about this.

After all, if the chain can bind the gray shadow, it means that this characteristic may have some restraint effect on the characteristics of the [spiritual world] sequence.

My main profession is the [spiritual world] sequence...

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether this thing will pose a great threat to itself.

It would be troublesome if he was left in this place forever.

While thoughts were swirling, the surrounding witches had lined up neatly and re-formed into a square formation, waiting for orders from the [Lord of the Night] at any time.

[Lord of the Night] once again merged with the night. His thoughts floated above the square array, seeming to cover the field with mental power. He counted the number of witches, and after confirming that there were no problems, he spoke in a low and ethereal voice. The voice echoed in the air and spread in all directions:

"Follow me within my domain and enter the factory. Don't leave the domain during this period and don't make any other unnecessary movements."

Immediately afterwards, the water-like night divided into several tributaries, winding around the witches' square, forming a circle wrapped in the night realm.

Subsequently.

The entire phalanx slowly advanced following the thoughts of the [Lord of the Night].

"Lord-type skills are really convenient!" Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh.

After reaching the fourth turn, the influence of characteristics will become stronger and stronger as long as it is the direction of the evolution of the main profession.

therefore.

The influence on rule authority is naturally not comparable to that of low-sequence ones.

Even if so many witches are included, the consumption will not be particularly large...

I am afraid.

Only the development direction of the [Lord type] profession can achieve this.

Fortunately, Chen Ye himself also has a [Lord Type] characteristic, and it seems to be even more special at the moment, with high potential.

My mind moved slightly...

At this time, Chen Ye opened the [Territory] panel to check the current progress of popularity.

In the past few days, the popularity of "Integrity Restaurant" has reached 4,850 points.

Since the main store is not open...

They are all unmanned restaurants that pick up customers automatically, and their popularity has not increased particularly recently.

After all, Chen Ye always sorted out the ingredients in his inventory and put them on the automatic counter of the unmanned restaurant, allowing customers to pick up their meals automatically.

The food sold every day is limited.

Just made a reservation for about a week.

During this period, no new dishes will be served.

What's more, during this period, because so many things happened in the underground world, it also grabbed a certain amount of popularity.

Therefore, the discussion about "honest restaurants" is not very high.

The increase in popularity has naturally dropped a bit.

In the future, new dishes will be put on the shelves, or after the turmoil in the underground world has passed, there will be a chance to increase the popularity again.

"It will probably take a day or two for the popularity to break through the five thousand point stage." Chen Ye looked at the progress bar on the panel and thought to himself.

After the next upgrade, you can unlock a new [territory spiritual object], and I don’t know what it will be.

Of course, now that I am in a dangerous dungeon, even if I unlock new items, it won't be of much help.

Chen Ye refocused his attention on the copy in front of him.

at this time.

[Lord of the Night] led everyone to the workshop at the factory.

At this time, several gray shadows suddenly floated out of the silent workshop.

"Ahhhh..."

Some timid witches suddenly saw a gray figure running in front of them. They were startled and screamed like a rooster.

Before, the gray shadow was still far away, not that close.

But now, these gray shadows appeared directly in front of the witches less than half a meter away, as if they were close to their faces.

It's normal to be frightened.

"Quiet! Those things will not pose any threat to you." [Lord of the Night] said coldly.

There is no problem in walking around this place, but I am afraid that these guys will make a noise and attract some bad things.

Boom! ! !

At this moment, a violent roar suddenly came from the workshop.

Everyone's expressions changed...
