[To all participating players: The Cairo Adventure Village item vault is now open, and the Tombstone Shop is confirmed.]

The team members who said, "Hmm, let's try to see how many words we need to say... wait, it seems like we've already started... (too long to say)" have completed the following calculations.

……

[Bonus Reward for Player 5900: The Writer's Touch]

……

When they received the task completion notification, Li Nuo and Cha Bai were on vacation.

White clouds.

green hills.

Lake surface.

drizzle.

Dead fish eyes.

Li Nuo sat on a bench in the scenic area, holding her phone.

"What?"

On the other end of the phone was his editor, Julie.

"Calm down. What I'm saying is that your alien cloud reward was stolen last month."

"No, big sister, please explain yourself clearly. What alien cloud?"

"You didn't know?" Julie asked in surprise. "I thought you knew everything."

"I know you were with the security guard at a branch hotel in Cairo last night at nine o'clock..."

“Alright, listen to me.” Julie quickly interrupted Li Nuo and said, “Your comics are selling terribly on this planet. According to the Cairo Comics Global Comics Survey, your comics are ranked 112th in the country.”

"Hmm... I know that." Li Nuo put earphones on his phone, took out his tea mug, and sat cross-legged under the pavilion.

"There are a total of 150 comic books nationwide that have received rave reviews from our comic book company," Julie insisted on teasing him.

"We're just one book away from having enough Pokémon from the first generation," Li Nuo said, his words always quirky.

"Globally, your comic is ranked 723rd..."

"not bad."

"You need to be more demanding of yourself."

"I earn five figures a month, that's enough for me."

"Guess where 90% of your royalties come from?"

"Does my comic book sales mainly come from outer space?"

When Li Nuo said this, a child with an umbrella and a runny nose looked at him with a mocking gaze.

"Julie, wait a minute."

A few seconds later, Li Nuo snatched the umbrella from the child's hand.

"continue."

"But yesterday, the reward pool for accumulating royalties was robbed, so your royalties for this month will have to wait until next month..."

"Who did it?"

"That's not what I meant. Of course, there are security personnel..."

"Who did it!"

Julie could sense Li Nuo's anger even through his voice.

For Li Nuo, robbery is a skill, the kind of job where you have to work hard to support yourself, and he has always been able to understand it. But then again, it's unacceptable to rob someone himself.

"Um... how about this, I'll take out a portion of my salary this month, that'll be it..."

"When will you transfer the money to my account?"

"..."

An extra payment was made to Li Nuo's mobile phone account.

"By the way, Julie."

"I'm out of money!"

"No, I have a question."

Li Nuo looked at the reward panel that popped up.

[The screenwriter's touch].

Although its stats cannot be seen in reality, its name suggests that it is a writing and drawing pen, similar to the pen used in Border Prison.

"Suppose I leave this place one day and go to another very far away planet, can I still continue serializing my comics?"

"We can serialize it wherever our Cairo branch is located. Are you planning to immigrate?"

“I have this idea, but as you know, I love my work and I can’t let go of the readers who like my comics. And as you know, the people who read my comics are not normal. If I stop serializing, they might do something outrageous. I’m also thinking about world peace, no… maybe it’s for cosmic peace.”

Julie sensed a conspiracy theory in the air.

"What do you want?"

"After I complete my immigration, you can give me a house."

Julie hung up the phone.

Li Nuo sat up straight. In fact, he really wanted to keep drawing. Compared to the vague idea of ​​being a witcher or a priest, he preferred to admit that he was a cartoonist.

"Mom, it's him!"

The kid whose umbrella he stole came with his mother.

His mother was furious when she saw Li Nuo holding the child's umbrella: "You even steal the child's things!"

Li Nuo rolled up his sleeves.

"You want to fight? Go ahead and fight me one-on-one! You'll regret it if you kill me!"

One minute later.

"sorry!"

Cha Bai pressed Li Nuo's head down and apologized to the mother and son.

After muttering a few words, the person left. Li Nuo raised his head with an annoyed look: "Tomorrow I'll find this kid a girlfriend, and then after he and his girlfriend get along well, I'll throw his girlfriend and his mother into the lake and write 'Save your mother first or your girlfriend first' on the shore."

"Just shut up for a minute. I've only been gone for ten minutes and you've already caused trouble." Cha Bai frowned. "You don't even care about the gods anymore, why are you arguing with them like this?"

Li Nuo: "Because all beings are equal."

Cha Bai: "Then you can wait until that kid grows up before you beat him up."

She let go of his hand and stood by the lake in the light rain, watching the ripples on the water.

"All we have to do now is treat this vacation as part of our lives and enjoy it as much as possible."

It was supposed to be a vacation, but it was actually free attraction tickets won in a lottery.

"By the time that child grows up, we should be in 'Icarus'."

"it is good."

Cha Bai didn't say anything unnecessary.

There's no need to say things like "it's unnecessary," "don't work too hard," or "I don't really care." Just follow Li Nuo's lead. If Li Nuo wants to keep his promises, let him keep them. If he dares to break his promises, let him experience the hardship of an Imperial Priestess returning from a six-month stay in a goblin lair.

In Li Nuo's eyes, this tea-white color was as beautiful as a painting.

He wanted to secretly take a picture and draw a portrait of it when he got back, but just as he took out his phone, Malger called.

"My status has been promoted."

……

cloister.

Basel, in the courtyard.

Marger stood on the roof.

"coming?"

When he saw Li Nuo and Cha Bai appear, he popped his panel up on the roof. Why the roof? Because the roof is a good place to show off.

... [The Rescuer: Version 3.0]

……

All [Identity 3.0] features require the use of "items" to unlock.

The "Blood Bullet" for the [Low-Blooded One] can only be obtained by defeating a large number of high-level opponents.

The "Circle of Fate" for the Focusers can only be obtained by influencing the course of the story.

In contrast.

The "Soul Scalpel" from the [Rescuer] fact is actually the most difficult to obtain.

But for Marger, it was exactly what he needed to acquire.

He only needed to have the mechanical lifeforms disguise themselves as customers to easily obtain a large number of scalpels.

Considering that he was a proctologist, he had already given his followers the order: please evolve an anus.

Li Nuo squinted at him.

Why is the settlement only being made now?

Marger snorted, though he didn't know why.

Adam returned a week ago. At that time, the mission in the surface world of the Great Maze was completed, and theoretically the entire script was finished, but the protagonist's main storyline had not yet been resolved.

The fact that the settlement was only made today indicates that Olise encountered some problems.

Li Nuo didn't want to delve any further, since it was none of his business anyway.

He couldn't have imagined how absurd the truth would be. If the company behind "Cairo Adventure Village" hadn't captured Olise, they might have done even worse things to that world. So Olise was the central figure in the whole affair.

With Olsie now transformed into the true protagonist, Bai Jie, Li Nuo and Malger's mission was finally complete.

This incident actually has many implications.

Recently.

Wenk refused to meet with Li Nuo.

The Great Maze was made so difficult by a few people that it was almost like "Borderlands," causing a large number of players to quit the game and refuse to go there, because they heard there was shit in it.

This resulted in Wink's investment going down the drain.

Although he was a third-generation rich kid and didn't care, as a businessman, he couldn't bear the blow of failed investments.

However, Li Nuo was not in a hurry. After all, time is a cruel mistress. Before long, those players would forget their sore butts and continue to explore the maze as easy prey.

The reason I dare to say this is because the rewards of the maze do indeed give people confidence.

Enhancement beads and some unopened treasure chests are good items for players level 90 and above, let alone those lower-level players.

In conclusion, we gained a lot.

"Miss Cha Bai, I've already opened the slots for your clothes modification and for your and Li Nuo's equipment."

Marger sat down on the roof and pulled out a leather notebook filled with "work notes" from his clothes.

Regarding the issue of +30 equipment strength, I suggest you wait until you reach level 99 before using a +30 weapon.

Inside the maze, Cha Bai used his +30 hammer to experiment with the problems that existed with high-level weapons.

That is, only level 99 can bring out the true strength of a +30 weapon.

There's another crucial element in the Great Maze.

Treasure chest.

"Can I unlock the treasure chests I collected in Castlevania?"

Tea White asked.

After getting the treasure chest back, a problem arose: it couldn't be opened.

Cha Bai was careless.

Treasure chests are a specialty of the Great Maze. You need a key to exit the maze, and the key must be the kind unique to "Cairo Adventure Village". She has a key that has a 50% chance of opening a door, but please note that it is used to open doors, not to open chests.

After the task is completed, you can exchange for treasure chest keys in the shop, which can then be used to open the treasure chest.

Cha Bai happily exchanged a few keys and went inside to open the treasure chest.

Women and men alike enjoy opening blind boxes.

Only Li Nuo and Maljie remained in the courtyard.

"Would you like to come down and talk?"

Li Nuo shouted.

"do not want!"

Marger refused decisively.

"You'll die if you come down!"

There is a protective fence on the roof, and Marger is only safe here. If he goes down into the yard, the indigenous people will discover his location and start a chase.

The Basel slug disaster is still fresh in people's minds.

This is something we'll never get over.

If it weren't for repairing and manufacturing equipment, Marger would never want to be human in Basel again. He's already the king of beasts here, able to be bossed around like a female dog on the main street. Why should he be human?

But Li Nuo still managed to pull him down.

"Can you take a look at this for me?"

Li Nuo presented his exclusive reward from the mission rewards: "The Writer's Touch."

It is a quill pen.

This thing easily evokes the image of brushstrokes used to modify time.

Previously: The brushstrokes that modify time are something that non-players absolutely need, and Li Nuo has already used them to send Xing Kai away.

The screenwriter's touch

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Three opportunities to modify specific permissions]

[Brief description: A special reward for the "protagonist" mission, something only life forms that have established their own universe in a parallel world are entitled to obtain, and it can be used on any "ticket"-like item.]

"Three chances."

Li Nuo looked at him with a smile.

"I do not need."

Of course, Marger understood what Li Nuo meant. The two knew each other too well. Just like in the script of the Great Maze, they didn't need to communicate with words to understand how to cooperate and solve all the problems.

“I’ve said it before, I must become a manager, until then…”

"That's it."

Li Nuo ignored him and went inside to play with Cha Bai.

He had originally planned to trick Malger into leaving with him, so that having a "butler" around would make things easier.

Li Nuo had just reached the door.

"what--!"

Tea White screamed from inside the room.
