As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 684 The Robbers’ Way of Buying Goods

There are almost no monsters in the fifth floor area. Apart from harmless animals, the entire forest is populated only by the indigenous people who live here.

The scenery is lush and green. If everyone didn't know that the sky was made of light dust reflected by stones, outsiders would probably think they were traveling through time at first.

The structure of the maze is actually a microcosm of the planet's underground world.

The first and second floors resemble the steps leading down a spiral tower.

Starting from the third level, the structure of the maze gradually became desolate.

The appearance of green trees and water sources on the fourth level indicates that there are living beings at the end.

The nature of the fifth layer comes from a kind of ecological trees unique to this layer. They are living creatures, not plants, and grow with the blue crystalline rocks that make up the sky as nutrients. The roots of the trees develop downwards and become the stars in the sky of the sixth layer.

Layer upon layer, forming a living underground world.

The world is big and no one knows what they will encounter.

Li Nuo sat on a stone, holding an ancient book in his hand. The contents on the book came from the records in the book.

Xiao Wu came close to him, and when the two of them read to this point, the noise around them interrupted their desire to read.

This is a five-story aboriginal village.

The name is "Adventure Village of Hope".

It’s unknown how long ago, this group of indigenous people from the surface were trapped in a maze. Only by defeating the creatures deep in the maze could they return to the surface. This should have been a very lonely story, but they regarded it as hope and built this village.

A small village with everything, with creatures of all races.

The most outrageous thing is the new creatures that emerged after the reproduction of the Cairo people and the humanoid race.

Just like the scantily clad receptionist in the lobby, many people have human bodies but Cairo heads. The advantage is that even if their heads fall off, they can be picked up and used again.

In fact, Xiao Wu’s development is similar to theirs.

There are thousands of people living in the village. Just a few days ago, there were still humans from the surface coming here. But after some problems arose in the maze, fewer and fewer people came here.

Later, Li Nuo built the maze in White City, and after it was connected to this place by accident, the player appeared here.

"I am bored."

Xiao Wu held her chin and squinted her eyes as she basked in the lazy sunshine.

"If you feel bored, you can try to massacre the village."

Li Nuo gave a crazy suggestion, and he might not be joking.

Xiao Wu was just trying to make small talk.

"Li Nuo, I heard that you've been fighting people one-on-one recently? What did you learn?"

There is an arena for players, and there is also an arena for the Cairo people. Both stages allow Li Nuo to find people to fight with in order to learn new abilities. Combined with the list of players that Soran gave him, these things ensure that Li Nuo can find the right people to fight.

The ideal is full.

The reality is very skinny.

"Such as this."

Li Nuo took off his hat and rubbed it in his hands for a few times until it turned into a "turban".

"There are also some basic counterattack skills, which are useless if you don't fight."

He raised his left hand, allowing Xiao Wu to see the back of his bandaged hand, on which was engraved a blood-colored alchemy array.

“This is the most amazing thing.”

"what?"

"Do you know of an alchemist who becomes useless when it rains?"

"Roy Mustang?"

He's the guy in Fullmetal Alchemist who can burn people to death with a snap of his fingers.

Xiao Wu excitedly held Li Nuo's hand.

"Come on!"

Neither Li Nuo nor Cha Bai would mind such dangerous lines. It can only be said that this is how comrades who have experienced life and death are, and they have long made no distinction between men and women.

"Stop it." Li Nuo pulled his hand back proudly: "I don't want to blow up this area directly."

Now he was observing the situation around him. Theoretically, there should be a large number of players in the village, but there were not many.

It is no coincidence.

A guy dressed strangely appeared in Li Nuo's retina.

That must be the player.

"I'm going to steal the information."

He said to Xiao Wu.

"When Chabai comes back, tell her that I won't cause any trouble."

Then Li Nuo stroked his cheek with his hand. When no one noticed, it was this one action that changed his appearance into that of an ordinary passerby.

The name of this move is [Appearance Transformation Technique].

Not long ago, during a simulated battle with a player, the skill I learned from [Denisa's Insight] came from the advanced hypnosis of [Seal of Axi].

In fact, it is not a disguise at all, but a kind of hypnosis that spreads out with himself as the center. Anyone who sees his face within a radius of 200 meters will be hypnotized and think that his face is ordinary.

The hypnosis can be broken with an insight value above 400.

For example, in Xiao Wu's eyes, Li Nuo's actions just now looked like dry washing his face.

He walked through the crowd and found the players on the suspension bridge between two big trees.

The opponent's level was less than 50. Li Nuo used the advanced version of [Magic Suppression], which halved the level and attribute values. At first glance, the difference in ability between him and the opponent was not big.

"Player?"

"Yes, player."

Li Nuo took out a stack of cards from his pocket.

"Want to play a game of Gwent?"

……

The farmers' market south of the village.

Chabai searches the grocery store for useful magic stones.

She heard that there was a merchant on the fifth floor who specialized in selling things that could help adventurers, so she searched for a usable magic stone while looking for that merchant.

Found it soon.

The guy's stall was very conspicuous, with an umbrella and a tricycle, and a sign hanging on the back of the car that read "A powerful merchant on the fifth floor who specializes in providing goods to adventurers."

Cha Bai walked over there, and passers-by avoided her wherever she passed. The natives had seen many people dressed in clothes that didn't look like humans, so they should be used to it. But Cha Bai didn't look like a human, she covered her entire face. You know, wearing a "pot" and being able to see clearly outside is usually only seen in anime and games. If such a person with no face appeared in real life, he would definitely be regarded as a pervert.

As a mature woman with a very delicate mind.

Cha Bai has her own reasons for doing this. Li Nuo is too narrow-minded and an irreversible conflict will break out if someone looks at her for a few more seconds.

Last month, Li Nuo reported a man who was shopping at the store downstairs to the police for "sexual harassment" because he glanced at her.

The problem is that the old man has squint.

And Li Nuo knows the truth.

When Cha Bai stood in front of the businessman, the businessman, who was used to meeting all kinds of customers, didn't know how to start the conversation.

“What’s the best thing?”

Cha Bai asked him proactively.

Her tone was so cold that it sounded like she was going to rob someone.

The businessman was not afraid and directly took out a list to identify himself.

"Although I am a human, I am a dog of the Cairo race and a special commissioner of the Labyrinth Adventure Organization. If you attack me, you will get into big trouble. Do you understand?"

“What’s the best thing?”

Cha Bai asked again like a tape recorder.

The merchant casually took out a gem from his waist and said, "If you mean the most expensive one, it should be this kind of gem. As long as you feel any danger, just throw it on the ground and you will be able to return to the previous level immediately."

“What’s the best thing?”

"You're quite knowledgeable..." The merchant put the gem into his pocket and said, "This gem is priced at 12000 Maxi. If you want something better, you have to prove to me that you have the purchasing power."

The implication is that good things should not be shown to people who cannot afford them.

This is in line with the requirements of the Adventure Village hierarchy.

Let me introduce here. Maxi is the currency unit here. The currency that Xiao Wu snatched in the hall is Maxi. They have a total of 2000 Maxi in their hands, which is definitely not enough to buy good things.

Okay, that's it for currency, it won't have any further use.

For the robber, the monetary unit is just a setting.

"I don't have money. Can I use other methods to enable purchasing permissions?"

Cha Bai has been traveling around the country with Li Nuo and Maljie for so long that he has long learned a truth: there is never just one way to break through a barrier, but as many as the stars.

The merchant laughed, "Evidence of hunting special monsters from levels one to four."

The so-called "special monsters" are not bosses guarding the levels, but materials that play a great role in the lives of the indigenous people.

Coincidentally, the Chimera that Olisie encountered on the second floor was an excellent monster for medical use.

Chabai took off his hat.

Then he shook the hat toward the ground, and out jumped the decomposed body parts of the Chimaera, along with thick blood, which were scattered on the dirt road.

Passersby were frightened like a group of howling chickens.

"enough?"

Cha Bai put on a hat, and blood flowed down the brim of the hat into his white hair.

"enough."

The businessman knew that a big customer had come, so he took out his best prop, a mechanical eyeball.

【Looking into the eyes of death】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: See the figure of the god of death]

"Do you know what the most dangerous thing in the maze is?"

"Well, please tell me."

"It's a punishment for 'passive resistance'."

Among the curses in the maze, there is a malicious curse that everyone will be affected by and cannot avoid, which is passive resistance.

Except for the fifth floor, adventurers on all levels will be judged as slacking off as long as they are not discovered by monsters before resting. In the most serious cases, this curse can directly deprive them of their lives.

In fact, the truth behind "passive slowdown" is that the god of death wandering in the maze harvesting souls will look for those who are just there to do the by-product work and harvest the lives of useless people.

He is a god of death who encourages labor.

In addition to the ability to see the god of death as mentioned above, the eyeball has another function.

"As long as you can see it, it will treat you and those around you as companions and will not harm you."

"What's the reward if I kill the Grim Reaper?"

"are you crazy?"

Businessman wants to laugh.

"That thing might be more powerful than the scariest creature on the tenth floor."

This means the reward should be something incredible.

"I want this one, is there anything else?" Cha Bai didn't waste any words.

The businessman shrugged and said with a sly smile, "You don't have enough authority."

Tea is annoying.

"Come with me, I put my things over there."

She pointed to a direction where there should be no one.

The businessman felt that he was an "official" person after all, and no one dared to attack him. What's more, his tricycle was actually a measuring device, and the measured white tea was not dangerous.

He followed Cha Bai into a small alley.

"Hey, where's the stuff?"

A classic hijacking opening.

Cha Bai turned around and took off the butterfly on his hat. The butterfly suddenly grew bigger and turned into a beast king.

The shadows of the Beast King and Chabai weighed down the merchant.

Cha Bai stretched out his hand, indicating that he hoped for a peaceful robbery, and kindly reminded the merchant.

"I guess there are no cameras here."

She thought about it for a moment and tilted her head.

"It doesn't matter if there is one."
