As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 485: Nanami Conquers the Enemy Without Fighting

In the upper area of ​​Basel, the blocks not far from the central tower were blocked by staff vehicles.

There was a stage set up in the middle of the intersection.

Hundreds of people crowded under the stage, each of them like a weasel that had been hungry for three days, all shouting towards the stage, and on the flashing sign was printed the focus of their waiting:
——【Nanami! 】

——【Nanami! 】

——【Nanami! 】

The deafening shouts even alerted a helicopter to be dispatched. This was the first player to debut as an "idol", which was a groundbreaking phenomenon in Basel.

The mastermind behind this, Mr. Wink.

Wenke took a big sign that said "I am Wenke" and held it high.

Reporters flocked over, all of them knowing this notorious fraudster.

The promoted staffer mobilized resources in an area on the upper floors of the tower and asked reporters to point their cameras at Wink.

"Look, it's him!"

"You are that bastard old fox!"

"I heard that you trained Nanami. You trained the first player idol. What are your thoughts?"

Wen Ke pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to stay calm.

Everyone looked at him.

Wenke took the reporter's microphone and said, "Fatherly love."

Because he had a history of fraud, no one believed him and there was booing at the scene.

The reporter took back the microphone and asked through gritted teeth: "Ha... Mr. Great Father, then may I ask, today is her first time appearing in public, what do you have to say?"

Wen Ke gritted his teeth and grabbed the microphone. The voice of the staff came from the headset: "Your criminal record is too serious. Just tell the truth."

Wen Ke said, "Good boy, it's your turn to make money."

The old guy used his own asshole to relieve the pressure on the audience and calm down the restlessness. He wanted to give Nanami backstage a stress-free start.

Wenke was surrounded and beaten. He squatted on the ground with his hands on his head. Under the fierce fists, there was a smile full of hope.

——"Li Nuo is missing. No one is here to trouble you. You must seize the opportunity..."

Nanami was backstage, lifting the curtain and cautiously peeking out.

"how so……"

"Ah, Miss Nanami." The staff member stood behind her, holding a bottle of skin care products. "Don't forget our theme today, skin care cream that can make you smile with dimples. Remember to recite the advertising slogan according to the script."

Nanami nodded. She was about to perform and was particularly nervous. As a girl who grew up in war, such a scene seemed like a dream, even more like a pipe dream than becoming a player.

The staff came back and handed her a transformation stick.

"The sponsor said that they hope to see unexpected things from you 'players'."

Nanami took the transformation stick and was stunned.

[Sailor Mars' Transformer (can only transform, no combat power)]

"Ah this..."

"The sponsor said that although they want to see your unexpectedness, they don't want any real accidents to happen. You can just use this to transform yourself. It's better to be obedient. After all, everyone is here to make money."

The staff was right, and Nanami admitted it. She said it was just for fun at first, but who knew it would end up like this.

The announcement of the stage was heard.

Her loyal fans cheered loudly.

Nanami, Nanami, the calls continued.

"nervous……"

Nanami looked at her mechanical arm. There was a small bracelet on her wrist. It was the [Useless Bracelet] that Maljie gave her as a gift when he drew a random card. Women always use useless things to seek some psychological comfort at certain times.

She let out a breath, took off the bracelet and threw it on the ground.

"Damn it, my new life has begun."

From the moment she stepped out of the backstage, a new stage in life beckoned.

The player's face before level 80 will be mosaiced. When the mosaic disappears, the three-dimensional face of the Eastern European girl will be revealed to everyone.

With confident eyes and long brown hair, this woman actually has a kind of vitality on her face that indicates a peaceful and tranquil life.

The audience went crazy.

Amid the whistling sounds, Nanami took out the transformation stick. The working process was to transform, speak the lines, smile, show dimples, then sell the product and lip-sync two songs.

If you want to see, I will do as you say!

"Transform!"

Nanami's eyes went dark.

The BGM of transformation sounded in her ears.

【Da, da, da da da——! 】

Sailor suit!
miniskirt!
Hot red high heels!
Finally, she couldn't help but strike a pose.

"..."

"..."

Li Nuo stood in front of her with his face close to hers.

Nanami saw an eggshell fragment under her feet and she slowly opened her mouth: "Ah..."

The Chimera Ant soldiers coming from all directions stopped one by one.

All eyes were on Nanami.

The penguin who was about to start a fight with Li Nuo was stunned at the moment, and sighed with trembling eyes: "What a great way to debut..."

[Border Prison Script Triggered]

When she heard the system prompt, Nanami grabbed Li Nuo by the collar.

"Li Nuo..."

Li Nuo hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, but he felt that Nanami was murderous, so he smiled awkwardly and praised: "Well, is this a new way to appear? Good, great..."

Nanami looked aggrieved: "Today is my first time on stage."

Li Nuo was stunned and immediately explained: "I really don't know!"

I didn't tell him because I was afraid he would cause trouble.

Nanami squatted down, holding her head and shivering.

Li Nuo: "Nanami...get up."

Nanami: "Let me calm down, I'm afraid I might kill you."

Li Nuo: "No, your pants are showing."

Nanami raised her head, her eyes filled with a complex mixture of sadness and resentment.

Li Nuo immediately said, "I am useless now without any equipment or skills! How about this! You help me pass the script first, and I will find a way to save your career after I go back!"

Others say this is bluffing.

Li Nuo is fine.

"Fine……"

Nanami took out the transformation stick, canceled the transformation, and wore a black vest and denim shorts, which were her usual casual clothes... Like all the players in the "Endless Corridor", she had no equipment.

"Hehehe!" The penguin took the human's hand and shook it back and forth on its little hand. It smiled like a villain and said, "Hehe~ I thought you could spit out an atomic bomb, but it turns out you are just a little girl~!"

Its companion, the chimera-ant-like Cairo alien, came over again.

"We love eating women the most!"

Li Nuo quickly comforted them: "At least they know you are a woman!"

"Shut up!" Nanami yelled, and all around fell silent. She took a deep breath and asked, "It's right to just kill these guys, right?"

Li Nuo: "Ah yes."

Penguin: "Oh, you are very confident, woman!"

The ground beneath Nanami's feet suddenly cracked into spider webs.

"The realm of reason...open!"

With golden light around him, he soared into the sky!

Li Nuo's silver pupils were coated with a layer of golden sand by the golden light of [Realm of Reason].

“Aaaaaah…what an awesome feeling.”

When the penguin and his companions saw this scene, their scalps began to tingle.

In the Endless Corridor, players within a certain period of time are classified as the same period.

In this episode of Li Nuo and his group, he and Sauron represent the pinnacle. Their strengths lie in monkey tricks and brain crushing. To put it bluntly, these two bastards are useless.

The strength of Chabai lies in the crushing of certain numerical values ​​and the unpredictability of its growth.

Malj, he's just plain dirty.

Besides them, there are some others who can contend at the top.

The players mentioned above almost all have one thing in common, which is the need for “monkey shows”.

Nanami is the only exception. She doesn't even rely on any weapons or equipment. While everyone is still competing in numbers, this girl has already started studying how to cultivate immortality.

[Realm of Reason] can allow her to calm down quickly, examine the current situation, and make the most correct response.

Being reasonable does not mean that there is no violence. The moment the murderous intent erupted, all creatures around felt a sense of oppression that made it difficult to breathe.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, all creatures, including the interstellar hunters fighting each other and the Cairo people competing with dogs for food, stopped what they were doing. The "qi" released by Nanami was like a gentle slap in the face, which made people happy and painful.

At this moment, Penguin and other Chimera Ant engineers were wondering whether they should kneel down and call their mother: This woman is so strong.

"These guys are not easy to deal with." Nanami glanced at Li Nuo and said, "Give me a weapon."

"Hey, good!"

Li Nuo handed the [Liloliluo] he was carrying to her like a lackey.

Nanami frowned when she saw the "hammer".

【Lilo Lilo】

【Excellent quality】

[Effect: Let’s edit…]

[Brief description: This is too ridiculous...]

At this moment, [Lillolilo] opened his eyes.

"."

Nanami's golden light suddenly disappeared.

Lilo Lilo: "I am Lilo Lilo, I am from Cairo, now I am your hammer, please use me to smash their brains!"

Nanami: “Ah…”

Li Nuo realized a problem he had overlooked, Nanami's weakness...she had no resistance to cute things.

Nanami loosened her grip and Lilolilo fell to the ground.

When the cute thing turned into a hammer that could blink, the horror was too much for Nanami to bear.

She bit her lip and cried.

Li Nuo scratched his hair, looking helpless. This scene was beyond his expectations.

"Li Nuo, you've gone too far."

"Ah... I, I'm not sincere."

The penguin did not run away, but came over with its companions and started to blame Li Nuo.

"Oh my, you bastard, bullying a woman."

"Ah... that's right... but I didn't mean to do that..."

"Explanation is to cover."

"I did not do it on purpose!"

"Damn it! Solve the problem of her crying! It's so annoying!"

"How could I understand?"

Li Nuo was scratching his head anxiously.

It turns out that a beautiful woman's tears can change the course of events.

Five minutes ago, Li Nuo and Penguin were fighting to the death, but now, they stood together, distressed because of Nanami's crying.

"My career is ruined! Ah——!"

"do not Cry!"

"Ah--!" When everyone was at a loss, Lilolilo took out a rattle from his arms.

clang clang ~
Nanami opened her tearful eyes.

"what?"

"Miss Ugly~" Lilo Lilo put the rattle close to Nanami and said with a smile: "I used to cry a lot when I was a child, but as long as I heard the sound of my mother shaking the rattle, I would laugh out loud~!"

Nanami: “Ah…”

Lilo Lilo: "(-) I'll give it to you, don't cry."

Nanami took the rattle, wiped her tears, and said, "Thank you..."

Just like that... in a somewhat warm atmosphere, Nanami calmed down.

The situation now is a bit awkward.

Li Nuo, Nanami, Lilo Lilo, the engineers of the Chimera Ants, stood together without distinguishing between friend or foe.

"Um...are you still fighting?"

asked the Penguin.

"I'll take it easy first..."

Nanami replied.

"I don't feel like fighting anymore..."

Li Nuo was lost.

"..."

"..."

"..."

After a few moments of silence, Li Nuo and Penguin looked at each other.

"Why don't you join us?"

"We will not betray the Queen."

Li Nuo pointed at Nanami.

"Just treat her as the new queen ant, like a stepmother."

The penguin glanced at his companions, and finally looked back at Li Nuo.

"Row."

"Pleasant to work with."

[Side quest completed: Death Cage]

[Task Difficulty: lv90]

[Quest Reward: 30000 Experience Points, 2 Special Random Cards, Chimera Ant Suppression Aura Skill Fragment]

[Mission details: Nanami wins without fighting]

Conquer the enemy without fighting: From Sun Tzu's Art of War, it mostly refers to making the enemy surrender without a clash of weapons between the two armies.

Li Nuo sat down on the ground and let out a long sigh.

He was still a little worried about his damn luck.

If the equipment you shake out is useless, you can only use the alchemical bomb hidden in your clothes to solve the problem.

He will collect the settlement of the side quest.

[Special Random Card] Two cards. This card can only be used to draw skills. Since I don’t have any skills, I give it to Nanami.

[Chimera Ant's breath suppression skill fragment], learn to use the skill orb.

Li Nuo crushed the ball and learned it immediately.

[Effect: When you hold your breath, no one will notice]

Skill fragments symbolize incomplete abilities.

It doesn’t matter, having many skills is always a waste.

Penguins rely on this thing to avoid being tracked by players.

"Li Nuo, come here." Nanami had wiped away her tears. During this time, she had been using the shield of [Realm of Reason] to spread around and listen to the heartbeats of Penguin and other "people".

She nodded to Li Nuo invisibly: "They didn't lie. Their cooperation is really about cooperation."

Li Nuo remained silent. Even though he had no special skills, he could still tell the truth from lies.

Because even if these guys are chimera ants, their genes contain the ridiculous traits of the Cairo people.

In their case, the more outrageous the development is, the more reliable it is.

Assuming it is a normal situation, Li Nuo and Nanami cannot avoid going to war with the enemy, just because it is the "Cairo World", unreasonable is equivalent to rigorous logic.

Before getting down to business, Li Nuo asked Nanami for a favor.

"Help me shake up Chabai and Lao Ma."

Players in the same guild can recruit each other.

Nanami rolled her eyes.

"I tried it, do you want to see for yourself?"

[Player 5899, in a different space]

[Player 5950, in a special personal scenario]

The corners of Li Nuo's mouth couldn't stop trembling.

As for Malger, he could guess why.

[Nanami's Potion] has been kept in the [Weapon Box]. If the box came over, it would most likely bring the contents as well. But since only the potion came, it means that Malge has found a solution to the problem. In order to enter the box, Marge made some space and took out [Nanami's Potion].

The box is an alien torture device, so it is normal that Maljie does not receive any system prompts while inside.

What about the white tea...

Based on Li Nuo's understanding of Cha Bai, she most likely opened a strange portal and brought herself to a strange world...

Li Nuo lowered his head, his eyes dull.

"My wife is such a collection of accidents..."

Nanami complained, "I don't think she would be like this if she didn't know you."

Li Nuo pretended not to hear and looked at the penguin and other chimera ants.

"Tell me everything you know, or Miss Nanami will kill you."

"You don't need to tell me... The two of you are more dangerous than us combined..."

Under the coercion of Li Nuo, the penguin introduced its companions. The gorilla was called "Steel", the skinny Cairo was called "Rooney Rooney", and there was an alien creature covered with thorns called "Covered with Thorns".

Except for the penguin, the other three can't speak.

Penguin sat opposite Li Nuo, took out a cigarette from his clothes and lit it for himself.

The smoking penguin looks funny, but there is a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

The chimera ant queen, also known as the queen ant, can give birth to the creatures it eats, such as penguins, gorillas, or Cairo, which were born a week ago.

The job of the penguins is to observe movements in "reality" and report any potential dangers to the queen ant.

"How do I report?"

Li Nuo cares a lot about this matter. It will be very troublesome if the other party has telepathic ability.

"do not know……"

The penguins did not lie, which meant that there were players who could extract information through their eyes or memories, Li Nuo thought and continued listening.

The whole incident started a week ago.

After the penguins were born, they wandered around in the real city. Now there are thirty Chimera Ants in the entire city. They look like Cairo people and are difficult to distinguish.

Work and inspect the "human" living environment.

Ant colonies have clear divisions of labor.

Until a few days ago, this situation changed because of the appearance of thirty-one people.

The main mission of the 31 members of the "Death Corridor" guild is the same as that of Li Nuo and his team, which is to solve the virus. Those guys are very capable and it was basically effortless for them to find the queen ant.

But after that, the queen ant disappeared.

It went to the "other world".

Nanami understood what was going on after hearing this. She said, "'Death Corridor' is a group of players who are good at manipulating space."

Li Nuo unscrewed the thermos cup, took a sip of tea, and nodded: "Yeah."

She collected a lot of information from Wenk. The players of "Death Corridor" were born in horror games, and space manipulation and weird tricks are their labels.

This group of players has all kinds of weird props, so it is normal for them to create an alien space.

What's more, the inner world is actually "always dark", and it is also the space where the "Death Corridor" exists.

The penguin didn't understand what they were saying, so he just kept talking.

The queen ant controlled the thirty-one players and found a way to fuse them together, in other words, to eat them alive.

The biological abilities of the Chimera Ant will be enhanced.

For example, penguins, Cairo people, an animal race, originally had the characteristic of "cold resistance", and the chimera antification amplified their abilities.

The penguin took out the human hand that he had kept in his pocket. In fact, it was not a flesh and blood hand, but a fake hand made of lotus root. He held it just to scare people for fun.

Take your fingers off and put them in your mouth.

Take a deep breath.

Then he spit out a plate of "lotus root".

Li Nuo: "What kind of meat?"

Penguin: "My meat."

Li Nuo stuffed the lotus root into his mouth. Nanami looked at him with disgust, feeling that he was such a pervert.

"Don't you have any other abilities?" Li Nuo swallowed the food.

The penguin demonstrated its ability again by picking up the only remaining lotus root and swallowing it. The next second, its body doubled in size.

The penguin scratched its throat, spit out what it had eaten, and turned back to its original appearance.

From this we can see that Chimera Ant Transformation increases attribute strength and grants one or more exclusive abilities.

The conclusion is already obvious.

Players of the "Death Corridor" are brainwashed by the Queen Ant and become a kind of food. When they are reborn as Chimera Ants, their abilities increase dramatically.

Among the clues left by Shao Hong, it was mentioned that there might be thirty-one people at the super-standard level.

The clues may not be accurate, but at least they mean that someone must have evolved to super-sized sizes because of the Chimera Ants.

Both Nanami and Li Nuo now have a common doubt.

Who told the queen ant that eating the player can create a more powerful chimera ant?
While listening to the penguin talking, Li Nuo typed out what he knew on his cell phone for Nanami to see.

——Someone from the “End of Corridor” might be causing trouble behind the scenes.

Nanami was in the mood and finished it, she was professional.

"Fuck them!"

Li Nuo grabbed Nanami's neck.

"Give Brother Penguin some face and let him finish his speech!"

"let me go!"

"Don't make trouble!"

Penguin flicked the ash from his cigarette and said sadly, "I admit, I wanted to solve your problem at first, but I couldn't beat you (Nanami), so I wanted to ask you two for a favor. We have thirty-one new bastards there, help us kill a few of them."

the reason is simple.

Ever since the thirty-first players appeared in the "Corridor of Death", the Queen Ant no longer cared about other children.

[Side quest has been triggered: Mother's Love]

[Task Difficulty: lv120]

[Quest Reward: All gold coins of the "Mirage" guild in the "Death Corridor", the guild's treasure chest, and 150000 experience points]

[Mission details: Kill all players of this guild. They may no longer be considered players]

Nanami's strategy of winning without fighting resulted in a new side quest.

"We'll discuss how to divide the money then."

"it is good."

Li Nuo and Nanami are old partners and they hit it off immediately.
