[Punishment: None]

[Time limit: 1:12:27!]

…

"Are you trying to make the task more difficult for me by triggering the mission now?" The system voice rang in his ears, causing Cheng Shen to stop in his tracks.

stage,

Performance.

Cheng Shen thought for a while and felt something was wrong. He lowered his head and looked at the oil lamp he was protecting in his hand. Just as he was about to leave with the oil lamp, he suddenly triggered this task. It would be too coincidental to say that it was not a prompt given to him by the system...

"The night is their world, and under the lights is the stage where the puppets carnival. If I dismantle this stage in front of everyone..."

Cheng Shen's heart sank slightly.

He could imagine the consequences of that without the system reminding him.

"I just reacted as a normal person should..." He took a breath, "If the system hadn't prompted me, I might have been besieged by the puppets at this time. At that time, no matter whether I was exposed or not, I would be dead...

…”

The danger passed me by quietly.

Cheng Shen was shocked when he realized what he was doing.

In just a moment, he has already been on the verge of death several times! There may be more hidden crises that he is not even aware of. If he makes one wrong move, he may be a cold corpse now!

"It's really like walking on thin ice..."

From time to time, there were touches and the feeling of pushing his body in the darkness around him. Cheng Shen originally thought that the puppets wanted to kill him, but after seeing the mission description, he felt that it was more like the audience was waiting for a boring heckle.

They are waiting for the person occupying the stage to perform.

What show would the puppets want to see?

Cheng Shen put the oil lamp back, and the dim light shrouded the workbench and its surroundings, making it look more and more like a simple stage. His eyes slowly swept over, and Old Johnny had actually already given an answer to this question.

Wither!

What these puppets are most interested in is carving!

Benedict!

Cheng Shen picked up the carving knife and tapped it lightly. The noise around him immediately weakened a lot. There were still frequent sounds of heavy objects moving, but Cheng Shen could clearly feel that the audience surrounding him had quietly dispersed.

The performance begins.

The audience went to find the best viewing position, and no one bothered the performer again.

Only the piercing scratching sounds that surrounded the warehouse continued, like a group of unlucky people who didn't get tickets and gathered outside the venue, unwillingly venting their anger.

Benedict!

Cheng Shen became more attentive after realizing this.

He has no foundation in engineering, but if he studies the crafting technology carefully, it will always remain true to its roots. Talismanship is just as difficult as engineering. They all pursue the precision of manual operation.

And Cheng Shen can rely on his energy control talent to use every ray of soul power to the smallest detail.

It's like a high-precision machine that never goes wrong.

Easier than cheating!

Benedict!

Sawdust flying.

Cheng Shen skillfully used several tools to modify the wood in his hand.

When he started working seriously, all the puppets in the darkness became silent. He could still feel the existence of each object, but compared to what he felt before, the panic in his heart gradually became calmer.

All they want to see is a show...

Cheng Shen had an inexplicable realization.

Perhaps, they are all waste products that failed to be produced or were discarded here for other reasons.

They also longed for light and experienced the wonderful years of being on the stage and receiving the spotlight.

But the final destination of these dolls ended up in this dark and damp warehouse.

No more sunshine.

However, they did not complain about their imperfections and miserable circumstances.

Until now, the biggest wish of these puppets is to see more and more perfect puppets born in this warehouse, and to watch them embrace the beautiful life course after they are made...

After the last cut.

An ordinary white brilliance bloomed in Cheng Shen's hands.

【Production successful!】

[Hint: Engineering proficiency 3!]

…

White items.

This should be the worst quality prop Cheng Shen has ever made.

But at the moment of completion, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart, just like the feeling after finally repairing a damaged product.

clang,

Bangdang...

There was a sporadic sound in the quiet warehouse.

[Mission completed—Puppet Horror!]

[Acquire: 300000 experience!]

[Sorry! Your performance did not make the puppets particularly satisfied, but they still want to give you a gift! As one of the special tasks, you can try this task again later! 】

[Obtained: Demon Doll Making Drawings (Incomplete)! 】

…

The face smeared with bright red dye once again appeared in the range of the light, and its entire body was hidden in the darkness. Only its neck, which was spliced ​​together one by one, could be seen, full of grotesque horror.

"call……"

It blew out a gentle breath.

The oil lamp went out.

Cheng Shen, who was plunged into darkness, did not panic.

This time, he didn't read any malice in that face, but instead there was a trace of deep sympathy...

Wow...

Something in the darkness touched him again, and a stack of cold papers was gently pushed into Cheng Shen's hand.

The oil lamp lights up automatically.

But this time.

Cheng Shen could no longer feel any unknown presence around him.

The puppets have all left.

“Satisfaction…”

Cheng Shen pulled up the system records and took a look at the satisfaction scores of the dolls.

twenty three……

If the full value is 100, this result will not even be qualified.

Cheng Shen frowned secretly. Although he intended to control it within Karl's level, he managed it successfully.

Why is the score so low?

The system prompts that this task can be repeated in the future, which means that the gift of the doll will be a very important item.

However, just looking at the results this time, Cheng Shen couldn't figure out how to achieve a satisfaction level of over 90...

"The final quality of the puppet and the sophistication of its structure are likely to be important satisfaction scores."

Cheng Shen guessed.

The former is mainly affected by the material, while the latter depends on the carver's technique.

Technically he is definitely not bad.

Material?

Cheng Shen entered the Old City this time but brought a lot of raw materials for making magic props. The shelf life of magic scrolls is short, and there is no telling when they will be used.

For him, making props was just a matter of time, so Cheng Shen didn't prepare too much in advance.

He just brought a large amount of production raw materials to prepare for any need.

timber……

There seems to be some.

Cheng Shen thought to himself that he could come here to complete this task when he has explored the old city to a higher degree, further unlocked the system permissions, and used the backpack without any restrictions.

at the moment.

It's still a matter of survival.

Cheng Shen quickly looked through the newly acquired blueprint in his hand. After memorizing its contents, the blueprint no longer needed to be used and could become part of his knowledge, further completing the Flesh Demon Puppet's technology.

He then walked out of the warehouse with the arm he made.

Ding...

Dark red blood spread across his body along the cracks in the door. Cheng Shen looked up and saw that the strange blood sun had begun to turn into deep black.

There isn't much time left in the day.

"You're done."

Old Johnny stood quietly outside the door and looked at him with a smile.

"Teacher...in that warehouse..."

Cheng Shen instantly entered the role, fearful and tired, trying to tell old Qiao Ni what he saw in the warehouse.

Old Johnny had expected it.

He said perfunctorily: "Those are the tests I set for you. Don't be afraid. The happiest thing is that you can pass this exam."

"I……"

Cheng Shen was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. Then he suddenly thought of it and handed over the drawing in his hand, "This is what it was given to me..."

Old Johnny didn't answer, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is the reward you deserve. And the drawings you just learned. They are my most valuable skills. I hope you can make good use of them in the future."

"There's not much I can do to help you after you leave here."

He spoke earnestly and thoughtfully.

"...Thank you, teacher."

If Cheng Shen hadn't encountered the life-and-death crisis just now, he might have been deceived by Old Qiao Ni's performance.

If he was so kind, why didn't he just teach him the complete knowledge of golems?

Do we still need to undergo such an extreme test?

Cheng Shen noticed that Old Qiao Ni was a little disappointed the moment he handed over the drawings.

What is he disappointed about?

Disappointed that what he got was not what he wanted to see?

To say that Karl's body still has some benefits, any emotional changes are difficult to read in this torn and ferocious face. The only way he can express his emotions is through movements and hoarse voice.

Even the cunning old fox doesn't know what he is thinking.

Cheng Shen's thoughts were spinning.

"It's getting late, so you should go back. Remember to come early tomorrow and I'll take you to apply for that job."

Old Johnny said.

"OK!"

Cheng Shen said with some excitement.

He followed Old Qiao Ni out of the backyard and returned to the inner room. The moment he walked out of the hall, Cheng Shen caught a glimpse of the pink miniature figure again, opening the door curtain and peeking out. The dim blood light illuminated it unclearly.

.

"Maybe I shouldn't stop her and let her escape successfully..."

Cheng Shen couldn't help but think.

Old Qiao Ni didn't seem to be very strict with her, but he just didn't know why she hadn't been able to escape...

Thoughts flashed through.

Cheng Shen continued to work hard and slowly moved along the street step by step.

The puppet shop is three streets away from Carl's home, about a kilometer away. This distance only takes about ten minutes for a normal person to walk.

But it took Carl more than twice as long.

The blood color is getting thicker.

Bustling with pedestrians.

When it gets dark, everyone stops working and prepares to go home, giving this desolate neighborhood a little more life.

Smoke drifts.

A bakery on the street ushered in the peak customer flow period of the day.

As long as the residents living in Zhongcheng work hard, they will have plenty of money and have enough money to spend. However, this bustling and bustling scene will only appear on the streets after they have finished working in the factory.

Gulu...

The sweet smell of toast aroused Cheng Shen's hunger.

But there is no money.

Cheng Shen could only hope that for the sake of Marge, who successfully found a job, dinner would remain the same as noon.

Otherwise, the first day after his arrival would have been too miserable.

"Um……"

Wearing a black windbreaker and tightly wrapped up, Cheng Shen looked very different in the crowd. People deliberately avoided him, but after he walked not far away, his keen intuition caught a few unusual sights.

One of the sight lines gave him a very familiar feeling.

It's the peeper...

Perception spreads.

Cheng Shen carefully released his soul power to search among the crowd.

Fortunately, the Old City is not filled with monsters or extraordinary people of unknown strength like Coin and Old Johnny.

Most of them are ordinary people.

The senses released by Cheng Shen quickly found the man who was peeking into his house. He was squatting on the street corner in front of him. With him, there were a few people dressed in a shabby way, who looked like gangsters at first glance.

Gangster...?

Cheng Shen repeatedly confirmed that these guys were indeed ordinary people.

Their inner world is filled with malice, greed and insipid fear.

Such a scene made Cheng Shen a little confused about the situation.

He will sense closer and hear their conversation clearly.

"Is that the weird guy?"

"Yes, I watched him walk out of that terrible building with my own eyes! He must be what those big shots are looking for..."

"Shh!"

"Don't mention that word, it will bring misfortune!"

"Now that we have identified the target, what are we waiting for? Just capture him! Send him to the Salvation Institute. If it is true, it will be a big reward!"

"But after all, it is...what if it is very powerful..."

"What are you afraid of! For this operation, I brought out all my brother-in-law's heirlooms!"

"Wow!"

Cheng Shen looked at the thing that shocked them. It turned out to be just a blue-quality magic dagger...

Um?

How dare they offend their own families with this thing!?

It’s so fucking courageous...

Cheng Shen heard it.

The Redemption House is a structure affiliated with the Healing Church and is responsible for handling security incidents that cannot be solved by the city guard.

For example,

The series of cruel and strange incidents that happened in his neighborhood.

In Cheng Shen's understanding, the Salvation Institute should be the extraordinary institution that manages the city.

Any extraordinary incident will be resolved by them.

And according to what these little gangsters mean, they think their family members are monsters with bounties on their heads from the Salvation Institute...

But how dare they??

In such a world where extraordinary power exists, how dare you catch a monster that even the Redemption Institute has posted a bounty on with just your brute strength?

The brain circuits of these people...

Cheng Shen couldn't understand.

He has always been cautious. If something like this happened to him, he would probably have to move overnight. It would be impossible for him to make such a reckless decision.

Is this how wealth can be obtained through risk?

The risk is there...

Wealth?

Cheng Shen only felt that his opportunity to become wealthy had come.
