As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 750 Strange Prophecy
Everyone handed over the parts that needed to be modified to Marger, considering that the next script would begin in the next one to three months, Marger's workload was enormous.

The Corridor Manager can extract World Core Fragments from the scenarios experienced by players.

The condition for taking it out is that one has done something amazing in that world.

For example, breaking records.

There are twelve in total.

The vast majority of them are the scripted worlds experienced by Soren's male escorts.

The materials needed to synthesize and modify equipment can be purchased from the shop. Their original gold coins have been cleared, and they need to use [Manager Black Cards].

Just swipe the Demon God's black card.

With the money and materials issues resolved and all the necessary equipment handed over, the next step is the construction of the corridor.

The World Tree directly assisted with the construction of the corridor.

The prerequisite is that the number of staff is more than five times the number of the initial players.

The main force consists of 26 people: the trio of Ma Erjie, Li Nuo, and Cha Bai; the three support roles of Xiao Wu, Chen Shou, and Nanami; plus the 20 members of the Cowherd Group.

Four players, led by Milo, were caught in the crossfire because of the exploitation of Marje.

The "Redemption Corridor" has a player count of thirty.

Their number is the smallest among all the corridors.

After that, in just ten days, through kidnapping, trafficking, and deception, they gathered five times the number of staff as players.

Staff members are in place.

The corridor automatically constructs a cluster area based on Marger's clinic.

Temporary gathering area

After completing their "internship," managers can choose to join a community.

Marger showed everyone what was on the panel.

Unlike other corridors, the "Redemption Corridor" has a nominal manager; anyone can participate in the managerial role.

Only Nanami has ideas about the future community.

"Can we get Basel back?"

She still cares a lot about her group of "fans".

"Mr. Wink should return to Basel."

Nanami is very worried about Wenk.

Soren pointed at Li Nuo.

"Do you think this guy will let Basel go?"

But Li Nuo was bolder.

"Let's turn the World Tree into a gathering area."

Chen Shou quickly covered Li Nuo's mouth.

"Don't you dare tell anyone!"

He has always had a strong obsession with burning trees.

Now is not the best time to talk about these things, but the "burning of trees" has already been placed in everyone's minds as a subplot of "redemption." Even Milo and his group of honest guys have become somewhat unruly after spending so much time with these hooligans.

Marger's "manager's" hemorrhoid manual signals that the mechanical cult has brought something new.

The pages of the manual were turned over, and the contents of Tia's records appeared on the paper.

Tia handed over all the information about the players that they needed to pay attention to in the "Original Redemption Corridor".

It contained a rune, which, when unfolded, revealed the [Meteorite Summoning Technique] that was promised to Cha Bai.

Marger tore off that page and handed it to Chabai.

[Meteorite Summoning Technique]

[Type: Dark Magic]

[Learning Requirements: High-level Dark Magic Aptitude, High-level Summoning, High-level Creation, 500 Spiritual Power]

[Effect: Summons a magical meteor capable of destroying a planet, among the most terrifying even in the world of "Borderlands". Upon use, all mana is depleted, all attributes are reduced by half, duration is 12 hours, cooldown time unknown (depends on whether there are other meteors willing to come nearby)]

Everyone crowded around her, all interested in the brief summary.

[Brief summary: Um... damn it, I don't understand this stuff... hahaha, is this okay now?]

The staff who wrote the summary were Cairo aliens trained by Sauron, so it's obvious that the summary was poorly written.

Where does the summary come from?

Li Nuo asked curiously.

Soren said, "The items, equipment, and skills that appear will be filtered into the staff's computers, and then the important content will be extracted and compiled into a brief description based on the computer analysis."

"Xiao Wu." Li Nuo looked at Xiao Wu, who was applying oil to her head.

"Huh?" Xiao Wu turned her head toward Li Nuo.

“Starting today, you will be in charge of teaching the Cairo aliens how to write brief descriptions.”

"why me?"

Xiao Wu was puzzled.

But when everyone saw the girl playing with her own head, they all understood why it was her.

"Because the Cairo aliens are mentally ill, and because you are mentally ill too."

Li Nuo spoke frankly, and Xiao Wu grabbed his head and started fighting with him.

"Single challenge."

The voice just fell.

A group of Cairo aliens rushed in, dismantled and rebuilt the conference room, turning it into an arena.

"This is the Cairo Arena! The Redemption Corridor Deathmatch Grand Prix! I am the host, Mr. Cape Town's father!"

"The game has begun! Place your bets now!"

The Redemption, represented by Marger as its administrator, is essentially a mental hospital.

Every meeting is a complete mess.

Everyone's used to it.

Chen Shou, holding the hammer that speeds up wall repair, waited helplessly for them to finish their commotion. He then saw Cha Bai sitting in the audience, not watching the match but staring intently at the runes Tia had given him.

"Sister Cha, can you learn this?"

Chen Shou also understood how absurd this thing was.

Cha Bai smiled and nodded. Although it was a beautiful, light laugh, Chen Shou, knowing them as he did, could see an uncontrollable bloodlust in Cha Bai's smile.

Chen Shou dared not ask any more questions.

He was afraid of hearing the truth that would plunge him into despair.

【Great Meteor Summoning】has always been the most destructive skill in the Corridor at this stage. In an environment where players are basically unable to single-handedly destroy stars, the meteor is very important as a substitute weapon.

Among players between level 25 and level 99, the ability to directly destroy planets can be divided into two types.

1. The destructive forces targeting world civilization are primarily viruses, puppets, rule modification, and necromancy.

Those who possess this type of ability do not need to be physically powerful.

Their one-on-one fighting ability is often not strong.

However, it has a tremendous destructive effect on the world's rules.

2. Directly causes annihilation-like violent destruction to the planet's ecosystem.

It represents the ultimate power.

Among those of the same level as Li Nuo and the others, only An Mi possesses this power.

Come back to the present moment.

Now that Cha Bai possesses the [Meteorite Summoning Technique], once she masters it, she will become the second top-tier player capable of achieving a star-level breakthrough through individual skill.

This trick is very difficult to learn.

The "advanced black magic" in the requirements is very simple.

Advanced Summoning requires the ability to summon monsters exceeding the level of the Border Prison scenario using a contract. Cha Bai can summon Arale, so he meets the requirement.

Advanced creative arts, tea white can produce [praise of the sun], which is also qualified.

But she felt that this approach could be developed in other ways.

"Marge, how's my [Memory Earring] doing?"

Cha Bai's voice reached Marje's ears from the noisy audience.

The [Memory Earring] is an item obtained from the Great Maze scenario. It can retrieve memories that cannot be accessed, allowing Cha Bai to directly obtain the "Power of the Fusion Earring" from the data of "Threshold". However, until now, it has been shown that the save file has special effects and the clothes of the "Power of the Fusion Earring" cannot be perfectly extracted.

Marger pressed the earpiece and said through the microphone, "It should mean that this ability can be used after breaking through level ninety-nine."

"Intern" managers have access to a limited amount of information compared to regular players. All Marger knows is that the day these guys break through to the next level will mark the beginning of a terrifying transformation.

Cha Bai gave an "OK" sign from afar, looking very happy and cheerful.

The next thing to face is the final script.

Whether he lives or dies, there's no turning back. Worrying and fretting are pointless; everyone understands. Maintaining a good mindset is more important than anything else. Mr. Victor handed Marger a cup of coffee.

The two watched the antics in the arena from the stands.

"Brother Ma, it seems that this script isn't too difficult for you."

Victor watched the children making a ruckus, as if they were preparing for a picnic.

What Victor was most concerned about was actually Li Nuo. When Li Nuo seemed to be thinking about nothing, it actually proved that this guy was thinking more than ever before.

Marger knew what Old Vi was thinking.

"Miss Chabai told me yesterday that she is not planning to make a scabbard this time."

"That's troublesome."

Old Wei took off his sunglasses, his eyes, like those of an elder, looking at Li Nuo, who was fooling around with Xiao Wu.

"This means the problems you're facing are far more serious than ever before."

“Old Vivi, I will bring them back.”

"Don't set a flag."

"Now, let's get serious. Did you find Doraemon for me?"

When the corridor was established, finding Doraemon was put on an important agenda. Now that the staff is all assembled and the corridor is completed, it's time to capture the most important Doraemon.

"Found him, he works at a ramen shop in Cairo."

"Have the Star Hunter bring it here."

"and then?"

Victor asked uneasily, naturally wanting to know what these three guys were up to, since he treated them like children.

Marger snorted, put his coffee cup on the table, turned and left, waving his hand dismissively.

"Then, change is about to begin."

While defending against Xiao Wu's attacks on the field, Li Nuo took a moment to glance at Victor.

He gave Victor an "OK" sign to reassure him.

Then, in the next second, he was kicked against the wall by Xiao Wu.

Marger returned to his office and received a message from the Demon God from the "Hemorrhoid Patient Paper Record Form." He then took out a yellowed piece of paper from it.

[Registration Form (for expired products)]

His collaboration with the demon god required him to use the registration form to pull some dirty tricks.

"Are we going to use expired products to shatter our understanding of the World Tree?"

Marger was somewhat surprised.

When he spoke, everyone could hear him; everyone wore the communicators he had made.

"Everyone, I'm here to register."

If no one answers him, it means that the motion has passed by all.

So, Marger wrote the names of all thirty people in the "Redemption Corridor" on a piece of paper and added the sentence "All participants".

Originally, the only contestants for the next script were those whose scripts were related to "Claymore".

The judge-managed "Endless Corridor" must also participate.

Because information about Lillian and others who were erased was still preserved, Lillian's "Rage of Bahamut" was originally intended to be added to that scenario.

This means that no one can escape the subsequent actions.

……

End, emptiness, immortality, death, and an endless gathering place.

All managers received a notification of the "Redemption" report.

This scenario will involve things outside of the World Tree, which isn't a big deal, since there aren't many participating players.

The demon god leaned back on his throne, a panel of shimmering magical runes appearing before him.

He tapped the panel with his slender finger, and a ring on his finger emitted a glow.

[Administrator privileges allowed to modify the "Multi-Corridor" battle scenario]

[Change the next scenario to "World War" mode]

[The "Corridor of the End" agrees to "all participants"]

……

This is the World Tree.

[All members participated in the "Redemption Corridor" activity]

[All members participated in the "Corridor of the End" event]

[The "End" administrator has used a one-time privilege to change it to "World War".]

[Under review...]

[Known: The purpose of this scenario is to fix the World Tree bug]

[Solution: High-level players and all players involved in the vulnerability are qualified to fix it]

[Required conditions: One of the corridors has already decided to have all members participate, and "The End" has decided to follow, betting on a "World War"]

……

【Audit passed】

All players level 80 and above who do not have any story missions are deemed required to participate in the competition.

……

However, due to the large number of players involved, some of whom are above level 99, it is necessary to differentiate their positions.

A total of 9021 players are eligible.

[Among them, 128 are players level 99 and above. These players should wait at the platform and proceed directly to the outside world.]

The remaining 8893 players must first complete the "Painting World" scenario.

We have selected a "Border Prison scenario" that is connected to "Beyond the World Tree," and 8893 players will travel to this scenario.

……

The scriptwriting process will begin within the next month.

[Time has been shortened...]

……

"Endless Corridor".

Basel.

The judge also started to manipulate things.

He used something special called "Border Prison Brushstrokes" to alter the time.

……

[The six corridor managers are requested to be prepared.]

[8893 players, please prepare.]

We will begin writing the script within 72 hours.

……

All eligible players heard the voice of the World Tree.

Surprise and bewilderment did not linger on the faces of these 8893 people for long; they were all seasoned veterans, long accustomed to sudden crises.

Three days left, the next script is about to begin.

The longer one lives, the more one understands that this will be a grand occasion that is hard to come by once in hundreds or even thousands of years, and all the guys standing at the top of the corridor will have to come out.

On a planet in the Cairo world.

Master Wang sat on the ground.

He consulted a fortune teller about the script.

The future is about to see a complete reshuffling of the industry.

To master the "world within the painting" is to gain control of the "world outside the painting."

Those who change their destiny will take control of it.

The madmen reveled in arson.

The person who orchestrates everything is both the protagonist of the World Tree and a public bus.

Master Wang: "A bus?"

He was completely baffled: "What does this have to do with buses?"

Just then, two Cairo jailers came over and shouted, "Slacking off again! Have you finished digging up the potatoes for today?! You won't get any food until you've finished!"

With the bus driver's doubts still lingering, Master Wang obediently began digging up potatoes.
