As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 746 Gathering Area, Lower Third Road Hospital

In the end, World Tree forcibly sent Marje back, otherwise the Yunnan folk songs hidden in his robe would have appeared.

When he returned, it was still the same spot, still the ruins of the Tanggula Mountains.

All remnants of "redemption" have vanished.

No, it should be that all the invading players from the "Endless Corridor" have left.

A few hours later.

Everyone is present.

The host club, Zaku, Xiao Wu, and An Mi who appeared with Li Nuo.

Marger recounted the whole story.

Including the titles he received.

Li Nuo's first reaction was: "So you're Na Gou?"

Marger retorted, "Don't look down on filth. Humans are a species that grows and develops in filth!"

One of the leaders of the male escort group said, "I wish you were Slaanesh."

Cha Bai: "Huh?"

She is a succubus.

Li Nuo: "Why are you joining in now!"

Although they always liked to use jokes to ease the tension, no amount of jokes mattered now. The atmosphere was tense and oppressive.

It's not because of the judge.

It was Anmi and her gang who were here.

Xiao Wu and Nanami stared intently at the Emperor of "The End." Compared to the Judge and others whom they had never fought before, this man clearly made everyone more wary.

An Mi is incredibly strong.

Even now, Li Nuo still can't beat him. After all, he's the number one person below level 99 in the Five Great Corridors, and his prestige is still there.

So Li Nuo simply asked, "An Mi, will you join us?"

Nanami gritted her teeth: "Li Nuo...!"

Anmi: "I used to work under the [Scholars], and I don't want to work under anyone anymore."

This statement is actually an acknowledgment of Marger's abilities. He was able to negotiate with several managers and even bring down the World Tree. Marger was very shrewd and had a deep mind.

"Li Nuo, I might appear in the next script too, you'll understand then."

Of all the people present, An Mi only wanted to talk to Li Nuoping.

"Yes, cooperation."

"No, it's a duel."

"I surrender."

Li Nuo was decisive in his decision.

Anmi took a step closer.

"After you break through level 99, the outcome of your battle with me will determine whether 'The End' is your ally."

"Don't die before that."

After giving some instructions, Li Nuo sent An Mi and his men back to "The End".

ally……

This is indeed a very important matter.

Li Nuo glanced at the group of guys around him, inwardly grumbling.

He's a comic book artist, Malje is a poop-playing guy, Chabai is a shameless slut, Xiaowu is someone who can take off her clothes in the street, Nanami is flat-chested, the host club consists of a group of male hosts, there's also the pair of glasses representing the leader of the host club, and a Zaku.

"So, Old Ma, are we guys going to fight five corridors?"

"Humph."

"Do you ever get the feeling that twenty cooks with cleavers are rebelling in the Forbidden City?"

Who says a master chef can't be a cook?

Marger's confidence always makes you want to punch him.

Marco looked at Tia.

“Miss Tia, please compile all the information about ‘redemption’ and send it to Steel Soul, so that the Mechanical Cult can pass it on to me.”

Tia nodded silently.

"I will compile a list of the strengths and weaknesses of all the capable guys I know."

At the start of the next scenario, no matter what happens, the primary objective is to destroy "Endless Corridor".

Cha Bai suddenly remembered something: "Miss Tia... um, could you teach me the magic to summon meteors?"

Tia had already thought of these things.

"I will send everything I can give you to the mechanical cult through information mediums or contract runes, and then pass it on to the evil god... no, I should call him the administrator now, right?"

She tried to tease Malger, who smiled calmly and nodded at her.

"Thank you for your help..."

"You're welcome."

Marjee opened his personal panel.

Something new appears.

World Tree Mailbox

[New email "Administrator Qualification"]

[Since you are still in your "internship period" and have not yet obtained any fruits or reached a level above 99, you are unable to choose the main world yourself.]

We will randomly select an "Overworld Gathering Zone" in your native Kairosoft World based on your characteristics.

[Countdown in progress, one minute remaining]

Li Nuo looked at Master Wang.

"Are you going back to 'Endless'?"

"I don't know, but it should be fine once I get back."

Master Wang is very familiar with the things in the corridor. Conflicts between managers and players are common, especially among high-level players.

The judge's ability to prosecute people only works on the group of people he "redeemed" in the past.

The disappearance of Lillian and others has other reasons, which are actually related to the "Circus Association". The information that Soren received before his death mentioned that the rampage of the "Circus Association" was related to the judge during the Black Merchant era. Lillian's destruction of the "Circus Association" may have been linked to the judge's karma, and thus she was able to be erased.

Knowing all this, Li Nuo found it increasingly troublesome.

The judge was unlike any of his previous opponents.

Those guys before, the Mirror Master, Cloyd, the Wrath of Bahamut, or the Scholar, all placed themselves in a superior position. All of Li Nuo's calculations at that time had one premise: to hide all sorts of schemes to destroy his supreme arrogance.

Judge Hugh Farrell viewed the issue from a position of inferiority, and he and Lino were a mirror image.

"Brother Li, would you like me to tell your fortune?"

When Master Wang uttered the first word, he had already unleashed the power of the "Critical One".

"Yes, very much needed."

Li Nuo nodded. He needed to rely on the power of the "Critical One" to break the deadlock when the opponent was the same kind of person as him.

The last twenty seconds before leaving.

Master Wang showed them what he had calculated.

[Transcending Cause and Effect]

【main character】

Everyone remained silent, except for Marger, as they all looked at Chabai.

protagonist.

Cha Bai smiled faintly and tilted her head: "This is so difficult..."

The main world has been filtered.

[Teleportation Initiated]

"Master Wang, please send my regards to my brother and me."

Li Nuo was still worried about Wells' safety.

Master Wang watched the group of people disappear from the spot, then turned back to look at Tia.

"Master, I'm going back now."

"Is there anywhere to go?"

"Yes, I plan to go to Cairo prison to dig potatoes. I'll step in when I'm needed."

Wang Li had been persecuted by the Cairo aliens for most of his life, and he never imagined that his current safe haven would turn out to be a Cairo alien prison.

Wang Li left.

"Bon Voyage."

Tia's farewell was calm and serene.

What happened next was none of her business.

After searching through the ruins of Tanggula, she finally found a photo under the stones. In the photo, she was in the middle, surrounded by her former "comrades-in-arms".

"They have all been resurrected, but you have not."

Tia sat on the rock, looking slightly forlorn.

The people and events in the photos are etched into my memory like a brand.

millennia ago.

She was reborn here, to live forever above, to protect for eternity.

Her former comrades died under the judge's rules after she left. She had once thanked Carl, but now she could only pray for these greenhorns.

Tia closed her eyes, and in the darkness, she saw the enormous World Tree.

"The entanglement of cause and effect is all in this tree."

……

[Teleportation complete]

[Overworld Concept: The style of the overworld in which the corridor is located determines the "special abilities" of players in that corridor]

After Li Nuo and the others finished teleporting, Marger showed the panel to everyone.

The so-called main world concept is analogous to how, after evolving a "rolling" skill, Li Nuo learns the "Serious Backstep," while players in the "Sky Corridor" might learn the more fantastical "Wind Evasion." Similarly, there's Nanami's "Tao Pai Pai's Stick Flight Technique" and Cha Pai's "Iron Block Artificial Cannon." Simply put, humorous skills only exist in the "humorous and casual worldview."

Similarly, after breaking through level 99 and having the attribute values ​​reorganized, you will also gain similar abilities.

The good news is that their current main world is "Kairosoft World".

Still hilarious. The bad news is that their main world is now "Kairosoft World".

Who knows what we'll face?

Li Nuo looked around, a look of suspicion on his face.

"Old Ma, so this is what the main world gathering area you chose is like?"

The place they were at was a clinic.

This clinic specializes in "rectal care".

It was a dilapidated clinic that Marger used to run.

"Hmph... Stop being picky."

Marger touched the familiar operating table, as if touching the buttocks of his past patients, and was so moved he almost cried.

The clinic is called "Cairo Lower Third Road People's Hospital".

The location is Xia Yin Village in "Cairo Haunted Planet".

Eighty percent of the planet's original inhabitants are monsters.

The woods outside the clinic are inhabited by the "Witch Claire" tribe.

Overall, it's very safe.

There are your graves in the clinic's backyard.

[Players' previous residences and items in the "Redemption Corridor" can be retrieved from the mailbox in the grave.]

With the information on the panel above, everyone go about your business.

Moreover, everyone needs time to calm down in the face of future problems, especially Chen Shou, who is sitting in the Zagu. The skinny guy is confused, helpless and bewildered. The Zagu has damaged the roof of the clinic, and he needs to find a good place to put the Zagu. The guys from the male escort group need to borrow a forest to perform a ritual to summon Sauron.

And so, only Li Nuo, Ma Erjie, and Cha Bai remained in the clinic.

Marger displayed the panel, allowing the other two to see all his current permissions.

[Scope of the script]

[No right]

[Needs to be promoted to a permanent position]

Li Nuo: "It's ruined."

Cha Bai: "Give me some face."

Marger: "..."

[All information about the corridor]

[Right]

[Sending]

The Script Beyond the World Tree

Information summary.

Scripts outside of the World Tree are not managed by any corridor. Even the World Tree can only access the quest panel and the basic quest layout.

In the world outside the World Tree, madness and irrationality permeate everything, and the level of danger is astonishingly high. All players must treat themselves as ordinary people.

Li Nuo pondered for a moment.

The rewards for the next script will far exceed the sum of the previous ones.

"There are others."

Marger then played it out.

[Ownership of the Corridor]

The world of comedy is the current theme of "Redemption Corridor".

However, the "Endless Corridor" still retains the content of the comedy world, so the theme of the "Endless Corridor" is divided.

The three main worlds of Endless are "Kairosoft World", "South Park", and "Inquisition".

Actually, South Park and Imperial Court share another tag.

The theme of the corridor now managed by the judge has become "Adult Games".

This is hilarious.

However, it does not affect the current player's abilities in "Endless Corridor," it only affects future players.

[Conquest of the Corridor]

After defeating the administrator of a corridor, you can either absorb that corridor or recreate it using its resources.

However, permissions can also be transferred.

After handing it over, you can ask the World Tree for a reward.

If a player in the "Eternal Corridor" defeats the Valkyrie and North Horse in the "Sky Corridor," that player can transfer the newly acquired permissions to someone else, or give the permissions to the administrator of their own corridor.

It is certain that the benefits of transferring the corridor are not as great as those of establishing or inheriting it.

[Manager Memory]

All players' save data is currently stored on the device selected by the administrator.

Marger did something that made people want to kill him.

That bastard set the "Redemption Corridor" memory in the clinic's "Hemorrhoid Patient Paper Record Sheet".

"The paper has the scent of ink."

Faced with Malger's sophistry, Li Nuo swung the table.

"I beat you to death!"

"Li Nuo, he's a manager now!"

If Cha Bai hadn't stopped him, Li Nuo would have become the first player to beat up the administrator with a table.

The key point about the storage device is that it contains all the player's information, including the worlds they have experienced. Therefore, players can directly use this "Hemorrhoid Patient Paper Record Sheet" to travel to that world and extract special items from that world, or even the [World Core], based on the "Hemorrhoid Patient Paper Record Sheet".

Therefore, this is a boon for managers.

Like the [World Core], as long as they don't care about being punished, they can keep taking from outside as much as they want.

[Management Punishment Mechanism]

[Performance Penalty: The manager of "Redemption Corridor" is currently in a probationary period and is not eligible for performance penalties]

[Resource Penalty: Abuse of otherworldly resources will result in the removal of the administrator's qualification.]

In order to reliably profit from the [World Core], Marje needs to find a balance, and he needs time to study it.

The above are some basic regulations.

The following are personal permissions.

[Item Management]

[Permissions: Can only manage the lowest-priced items in the store]

The cabinets in the operating room, belonging to the administrator, contain discounted items from an online store.

Marger opened the cabinet.

The cabinet that was originally used to store patients' hemorrhoids has become a bottomless pit.

A whole bunch of cheap stuff fell out.

Li Nuo picked up a pistol. He remembered seeing this gun in the shop when he first became a player. It cost 5000 gold coins, which was an astronomical figure for him at the time.

Li Nuo pointed the gun at his forehead, pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the bullet hit his forehead and bounced away. Marge caught the incoming bullet and threw it into the trash can.

"They're all unnecessary."

“No, not really. I can extract everything that players in our Corridor have experienced in the scenario worlds, although there is a limit to the number.” Marger took out his toolbox from his pocket: “But my blessing, even if it is as dim as light, is a great radiance to you.”

Cha Bai: "Translate it."

Li Nuo: "Old Ma is confident that he can make a lot of good things with limited resources. What about the upgrade stones and the staff?"

Marger gave a cold laugh.

[There are too few players, and the administrators are in their probationary period, so they can't directly produce staff.]

You can contact staff.

[Method: Find intelligent beings in the main world to fill staff positions]

[When there are more than five times the current number of players, a "player gathering area" will be automatically generated in the main world, including service facilities such as weapon workshops, skill workshops, player lobbies, libraries, and quest processing centers.]

However, administrators cannot freely leave the designated area.

The current administrator of "Redemption Corridor" is in a "probationary period" and is considered a "regular player." They can leave the area and cannot enjoy administrator bonuses.

Li Nuo and Cha Bai both had dark expressions.

If we're looking for staff in this world... then that means the staff of "Redemption Corridor" will become "Cairo aliens".

Cha Bai asked anxiously, "Are you sure we won't be destroyed by the Cairo aliens before the next script comes out...?"

Her concerns are valid.

Marger shook his finger under the light: "Don't worry, you have to trust me."

One of the Cairo aliens' weaknesses is the swallow skin.

Marje was a master at playing with leather swallows.

He believed his "lower-level hospital" would become a favorite among Cairo residents.

Before that, the current players need to clean up the environment of this planet.

Li Nuo felt like he was playing RimWorld.

In short, before starting the next scenario, we need to do some simulation management for a while. Simulation management happens to be what Kairosoft does best, but don't get your hopes up, after all, the Kairosoft people are a bit crazy.

Before everything begins.

Marger has another important task to complete.

[Administrator Permissions]

[Power to appoint staff]

[You can choose someone you know to be your leader among the staff. As long as they agree, they can be remotely summoned to your side.]

Carl Elimond handed the position to Angel.

Logically speaking, Marger's Angel should be Mr. Victor, but Victor is actually like an emperor emeritus, so he had already decided on the person in charge.

A head popped out from under the white coat.

Marger pulled out a middle-aged man.

This person was the creator of the "Armstrong Cyclone Acceleration Armstrong Cannon".

Craftsmen of Light.

O. Henry.
