As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 724 What if it were a phone booth, and then...

inside the house.

Cha Bai sat in a chair, with seven treasure chests he had brought out of the Demon Castle in front of him.

All seven of them are now open.

What made her scream was the earring in her palm.

"look at this."

When she saw Li Nuo enter the room, she couldn't hide her excitement and showed him her earrings.

Memory Earrings

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Not equipment, but an item that retrieves memories that should otherwise be available, often used on people with amnesia]

[Brief summary: Xiaoming said...]

Don't bother with the summary.

Cha Bai smiled.

"I can use it to retrieve save files that are unusable in the 'Vaporwave' script."

Li Nuo stared with dead fish eyes: "You mean that fusion ability?"

In fact, after Cha Bai merged with herself, that power was retained in the "threshold". However, because she had encountered the "manager" at the time, that save file was "garbled". Accessing the save file was risky. Besides, she didn't need to access that merged power afterward and was still powerful.

Tea White spreads its five fingers, and the surrounding area turns pure white.

The world of the threshold is the same as before, white and devoid of emotion.

Li Nuo stood beside her.

A wardrobe rose up beneath her feet.

Put on the [Memory Earrings], open the wardrobe, and there's a special outfit.

The black dress after they were put together.

After picking it.

The skirt turned into tiny particles, which drifted upwards and into the white dust of the sky, becoming a part of memory.

[Tips about the threshold]

[The save file in this world has special effects, making it impossible to perfectly extract the "Power of the Fusion Earring" from the clothing.]

Please locate the problem and repair the save file.

For an instant.

The white of the threshold faded.

Cha Bai stood there, looking at his palm, without saying a word.

Li Nuo didn't understand: "It failed?"

Cha Bai shook his head: "The reason why the 'vaporwave' script cannot be extracted is... that script has special characteristics. Although the archive has been repaired, it cannot be extracted."

This statement reminded Li Nuo of something Angel once said.

"The ticket to not be a player's ticket is something that shouldn't exist in that world in the first place. So something must have happened before or in between when we appeared there. This event may be closely related to the players, but it has nothing to do with you and me."

Cha Bai slowly sat down, looking at her thighs with some disappointment.

"Then we'll have to wait until Marger goes to that world someday."

"Then don't rush."

Li Nuo offered some consolation, suggesting that things that weren't urgent should be put on hold for the time being.

The treasure chests contain far more than just these items.

Cha Bai is indeed very lucky.

There are seven treasure chests, five of which contain crystals that can be exchanged for gold coins. Bringing these to Wenk will allow him to exchange them for a considerable amount of gold coins.

Of the remaining two, the one in tea white was an earring, and the last one was a book.

[Instructions for Making Explosive Warheads]

A piece of parchment.

Xiao Wu's portrait was drawn on the paper.

To put it bluntly, it's about turning Xiao Wu's head into a bullet. It sounds absurd, but it's a solution.

When Marje transformed into an evil god, the group of small Wu heads he released were so powerful that they were essentially self-destructing robots with unlimited power.

"Let Lao Ma choose his own things, this..."

Li Nuo rummaged through the boxes, dragged out the "Master Roshi's Turtle Shell" from the warehouse, and took out everything he had with him.

When he opened the door, he glanced at Cha Bai sitting in the chair. She seemed a little down. She really wanted to become more capable, like An Mi, because the next script would definitely be the most difficult one, a level that was unimaginable until now.

"At that time, all the players we never dared to imagine before, all the most representative guys in the corridor, will appear."

He said this from the doorway.

Cha Bai raised her blue eyes, her pupils reflecting Li Nuo's smiling face.

“Isley, Lillian, names you and I know, and many more names you and I don’t know. The highest point of the Five Great Corridors, the highest point of the world, the strongest power on this side of the World Tree, will appear together on the other side of the World Tree. I understand you’re anxious, but don’t let anything give you too much of a headache. That’s what you told me.”

Time seemed to have turned back to a long time ago, before they were together.

Back then, Cha Bai would often try to calm Li Nuo down, telling him not to keep pretending to be a machine that never rests.

People change.

Even someone like Li Nuo can change.

He had long since lost his initial restlessness and panic, and was always as calm as a lake. So Cha Bai understood, nodded, and opened her palm to him.

"Give me the gorilla driver's ticket."

"what?"

"Spendthrift".

Cha Bai said with a cold face.

“I’m planning to go see Peters. He said he’ll teach me the correct way to use ‘spatial magic’.”

She was also wearing the [Grand Mage Ring] on her finger, which meant that Cha Bai was preparing to push the power of spatial magic to its limit, using the power of a spatial mage to guide the warrior's heavy hammer and find a path that belonged to her.

Theoretically, the gorilla driver is not allowed to enter Basel.

However, as long as you write your real-world location in the delivery address field and choose to delay receiving the goods, you can find the gorilla driver in the real world and have him transport you to the old man's place. The delivery fee will be very expensive, but you can write "Soren Lee" as the payer.

Watching Cha Bai leave the corridor.

Li Nuo, dragging a tortoise shell and other items, opened the door and called out, "Old Ma."

The light shone on his face, unaware that what was about to happen was an illustration of what it meant... plans can't keep up with changes.

It turned out to be the blinding light from outside.

It's light reflected from Doraemon's head.

……

at the same time.

Basel.

Upper area.

On a farm.

Wang Li, the Taoist priest, sat in his small hut, staring stiffly at the woman sitting across the table.

"Excuse me...you are..."

"Just call me Angel."

Master Wang's throat bobbed a few times.

"Master Wang, you are really hard to find."

Angel spoke expressionlessly, as if demanding payment.

Master Wang pursed his lips. Ever since he was tricked by the Cairo aliens in Basel, he had not dared to return. Today, on his first day back, he encountered an even more deadly being.

"I...I have a question. You...you are one of the leaders of 'Endless'?"

Master Wang.

This guy, as one of the top combatants in the "Endless Corridor," may seem unserious on the surface, but he is actually a top-tier combatant.

To give a very simple example, Li Nuo couldn't beat him.

But when facing Angel, Master Wang shrank back like a child, he was a little scared.

Although he had been persecuted by the Cairo aliens for decades, spending his time digging potatoes and escaping from prison, Master Wang knew very well the two elder brothers and sisters at the highest point of the "Endless Corridor".

So, after Angel nodded and admitted that he was one of the "managers".

Master Wang asked in a friendly manner, "How are you doing, elder brother?"

“Huh?” Angel frowned. “Ah, Your Majesty… that guy was locked up in his room and couldn’t come out because he beat up the administrator of ‘The End’ and used illegal methods. He’s been playing Civilization for a month now, and he should be starting up a ‘Human Empire’ save file right now, right?”

Angel paused for a moment and said, "Well, to put it in a more sophisticated way, this god is now sealed in a corner by the power of supreme will, and I am his clone and agent left in reality."

Master Wang: "Um... so, elder sister, what brings you here?"

Angel asked, "Do you know Tia?"

Background information: Tia, the proprietress of the Succubus Mansion in Tanggula Mountain, a player from a thousand years ago, the third bishop of the Church of Steel Soul, and a loyal follower of Marger. Master Wang: "My teacher."

Angel then asked, "So you also know a lot about the 'Corridor of Redemption'?"

Master Wang: "..."

Angel looked at him very seriously: "You know?"

Master Wang burst out the door, running outside while muttering to himself, "Back to reality..."

Angel shouted, "Come back!"

A second later, Master Wang sat back down behind the table, head down, eyes wide, and said anxiously, "I only overheard this, and I don't like getting involved in the wars of you big brothers and sisters, so I'll just say I know. I've lived my whole life in fear of the Cairo aliens, and I've finally had a few days of peace..."

“I just want to know what Tia said about the ‘Redemption Corridor’,” Angel interrupted. “If you don’t tell me, I won’t do anything to you. Our rules state that the administrators won’t do anything out of line to the players unless I accidentally do it.”

“My teacher only told me that she used to come from the ‘Corridor of Redemption,’ but I don’t know the specifics,” Wang Li replied, her eyes revealing undeniable sincerity.

Angel couldn't see anything wrong with it.

She had no choice but to stand up and turn around.

"I suspect Wang Li has a problem with his memory."

"That's it."

The scene before her eyes had transformed into the king's room, where the king sat at his computer desk frantically clicking the mouse, and the game "Civilization" on the screen was preparing for war.

Angel walked behind the computer and unplugged it.

"Angel! Why did you unplug my power?!"

Let's do a recap.

Angel clapped his hands, and electronic tentacles emerged from the ground, fixing the king in place.

"Angel..."

"When player 5899 attacked Basel with [Filth Sea Maggots], a very strange magical element appeared here. You obviously didn't feel it, but as a long-time employee of 'Redemption Corridor', I naturally know that it came from a player from Redemption. Plus that disgusting smell, it's Tia, no problem."

……

"Ah...Angel."

"Why did Tia appear? I used to work at the 'Redemption Corridor,' and I couldn't resist that fear."

Angel's expression was very serious, even somewhat frightening.

"You know me. I get very neurotic whenever I get involved with old friends. After all, I'm half an android, and my brain capacity is limited."

To put it bluntly, he's petty, the king thought to himself helplessly.

"Now that you've finished talking, untie me first."

"Ah."

The king stood up from his chair, went behind the computer, plugged it in, turned it on, and sat back down in his chair.

"Let me have another round of Civilization."

“Karl—!”

"Got it! I'll make some cheating preparations. At worst, I'll just quit being an administrator!"

……

Doraemon stands in front of the "What If Telephone Booth".

"It's fixed."

"Hey?"

Li Nuo was stunned.

"What?"

"It's fixed!" Doraemon pouted and said, "Didn't you always ask me to fix this phone booth? It's fixed, it's fixed, it's fixed!"

Marger stood to the side with an "Oh my god" expression; this was "What If Phone Booth".

Doraemon said, "But you can only have one wish granted, since it's a broken phone booth."

Li Nuo went over and touched the phone booth.

A shocking panel popped up.

[Assuming the landline phone in the phone booth has been repaired]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Can only fulfill a general outline of a wish (with a 99.9% success rate)]

[Briefly: It can grant most wishes... but you need to know that "most wishes" are related to wealth. For example, if you say "I want to be invincible," then I'm sorry, it can't be granted. After all, this is a tool for a childcare robot and does not support violent behavior.]

"In other words, it can be done as long as it's within the reach of the phone booth." Li Nuo's eyes widened, and his hands trembled.

"That's true, but there will still be problems. For example, we don't support your bad behavior of destroying the world," Doraemon explained.

Marger glanced at Li Nuo, and Li Nuo glanced at Marger.

The two of them rushed toward the door of the phone booth like madmen.

Marger grabbed Lino's hair, who was moving faster.

"Li Nuo... our next script is set outside the World Tree, and your dream will come true!"

"The one surnamed Ma!"

Li Nuo slammed Malje to the ground with his backhand.

"Being a manager requires taking things one step at a time!"

"Who says I want to be a manager? My first dream is to have nurses all over the world wearing miniskirts!"

Marjee pulled out the [clump of excrement].

Li Nuo drew his pistol immediately.

The two men, one with a gun and the other with excrement, faced off in the quiet courtyard.

Doraemon saw in them the wickedness of humanity when faced with self-interest.

"rock-paper-scissors."

Li Nuo shouted.

In the end, Li Nuo won. Marge knelt on the ground, scratching his head in frustration: "You used the [Axii Seal] on me!"

Li Nuo stepped into the phone booth, poked his head out, and asked, "If my request fails, will the phone booth still work?"

Doraemon said, "It is possible, but I need to repair it. However, if your wish comes true, the phone booth will be unusable. Also, do not use it to connect parallel universes, as it may erase everyone's traces and make it impossible to restore them."

"Understood." Li Nuo returned to the phone booth, picked up the landline receiver. He had read the Doraemon manga and watched the anime hundreds of times, so he knew exactly how to use the phone booth.

"If..." I can't say "If Cha Bai and I weren't players," because that might send them to another parallel world and erase all traces of their existence. So I should say it more directly: "If Cha Bai, Ma Erjie, and I had tickets that would allow us to not be players in the Corridor."

The voice fell.

Marger stood there, his heart pounding, waiting for a miracle.

Li Nuo's stomach ached from nervousness.

One second, two seconds...

bell--!
Your wish has come true.

Li Nuo walked out of the phone booth, looked at the sky, and nothing happened.

Doraemon suddenly opened its mouth. It didn't have a four-dimensional pocket on it; the spare pocket was in its throat. A travel robot from the Doraemon universe 22 crawled out of its mouth.

"Hey?"

The robot jumped to the ground and, seeing Doraemon's distressed expression, immediately realized what had happened.

"Sorry... I'm a time traveler, and every time I jump through time, I end up in strange places."

"We were just in a field of red wheat (the border prison), how strange... where is this place..."

"Alright, I've bothered you. I'm leaving now. Oh, by the way, to express my apologies, I'll give you these trash I collected in the wheat field—no, I mean treasures."

The robot handed Doraemon a four-dimensional space bag.

Then this guy took out a phone, pressed a button, and disappeared on the spot.

Don't look at the creatures in the Doraemon world with normal eyes.

Doraemon opened the four-dimensional bag left by the robot and took out two tickets from it.

Li Nuo squatted down, took it from its hand, and saw the panel on the device.

[Indigenous Experience Ticket]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: A subspecies of the "Ten Mile Slope Sword God Card," existing only in the Border Prison. It requires another item from the Border Prison to be used in conjunction with it to take effect.]

[Brief description: You can write a time on a ticket. The upper limit varies depending on the world you are in, and you can even write "dying of old age". After successfully writing it, you will pay the price of losing something and becoming a native of that world.]

[In other words...]

During that time, you were no longer a player.

Li Nuo stared blankly at the two tickets for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

"Old Ma..."

Before he could finish speaking, Marger smiled and said, "Then let's leave, Li Nuo."
