As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 835 Fabricating a Case Against This Woman

The receipt had a line of large characters written on it.

[Managers are getting involved because we can no longer afford to manage them.]

“The Demon God came to see me a few days ago and gave me this thing.” Marjee sat on the frame of the car, took a cigarette out of the cigarette pack, and Cha Bai habitually snapped his fingers to light it for him.

Ma Ge, pretending to be a melancholy third grandson, blew out a puff of lonely smoke and said, "That's how it turned out."

Li Nuo's lips trembled slightly: "After all that foreplay, this is all you say?"

He took the receipt from Cha Bai's hand and looked at it himself.

This is the World Tree.

We have never managed such a massive task before, so we are entrusting it to you managers for assistance. You will now proceed to the next scenario.

It's gone.

It's not hard to figure out.

The next scenario they will face is a "punishment" scenario involving all the corridors, which is caused by the involvement of all the corridors behind the "White City" incident, and ultimately ends with the king cheating.

That incident created a vulnerability in the World Tree, and the remedy was to establish "Destiny" in areas outside the World Tree to nourish the vulnerability.

The World Tree's ridiculous calculation method includes all related corridors.

Later, those two bastards, Marge and the Demon God, exploited a bug that dragged all the high-level players in the entire corridor into the mess.

Using combat strength as a grading system reveals just how difficult this situation is for the World Tree.

Players at levels 25 to 40 cannot cause any trouble in the scenario.

Players at levels 40 to 60 can already be a minor overlord in any world.

Players at levels 60 to 80 are powerful enough to influence the fate of a world.

Among players level 80 to 90, the most powerful ones can destroy the world.

Players who have achieved godhood have already appeared between levels 90 and 99.

Above level 99, one is considered "immortal" in a higher-dimensional world. Physical strength is merely the basic requirement, and withstanding missile bombardment is just afternoon entertainment.

The weakest among this group possesses the ability to effortlessly alter the world order of a "border jail level" scenario.

The powerful ones... were a bunch of conceptual monsters.

For example, Li Nuo has a way to kill all living beings, people like Cha Bai and Aita can create perfect divine realms, Sauron can act from a high-dimensional perspective at any time, is not subject to spatial control, and is not affected by the environment. Numerical monsters + skill editors, a bunch of bastards driving Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

There are 128 people like Li Nuo.

If these hundred or so people all went to the same script, the result would be like stuffing over a hundred black slaves into a matriarchal society where everything can be purchased for free.

So the World Tree completely crashed when faced with this, just like Beethoven looking at the centipede playing the piano. Theoretically, everything seemed correct, but nothing was right at all.

The scariest thing is that they are all players. Players who can reach this level are basically not good people. Most of them have climbed up by cheating the system. If they get together, they will definitely crash the World Tree system.

What should we do then?

The World Tree used a killer move that an elementary school teacher used to really like: calling parents.

Managers are getting involved.

The World Tree is actually making things more difficult for itself. The administrators can get along peacefully because of the shockwave from a nuclear weapon in the past. After the king was killed, everyone was thinking about revenge.

“It seems I was right.” Li Nuo stared with dead fish eyes and said, “If the World Tree doesn’t make changes, the next scenario will be a mess. Our Corridor will suffer.”

"No," Malger said.

He took out a tablet computer, which displayed World Tree email messages.

Defeating a single enemy in the corridor will allow you to pass the "Apprentice" stage and become a full-fledged employee.

“In a few hours, I’ll be officially promoted,” Marger said, “because you’ve completed the main storyline in Bloodborne.”

Li Nuo frowned slightly: "What did I do?"

Cha Bai sighed, "It might be because of... Miaham."

The cause and effect created by Li Nuo helped Miaham become a god, and it was also he who instigated Adam to initiate the eclipse that brought about world change.

“That’s how it is. So, I guess I can still gather some intelligence by then. Before that…” Marje took out two chips from his white coat and handed them to the two of them: “While you’re doing the light show these past two days, I’ve recorded everything that happens in the chips. Take a look for yourselves. I have some things to take care of here.”

This chip is a disposable device that is inserted into the nostril.

Cha Bai refused to insert anything, saying, "Keep things related to insertion away from me for now."

It's easy to imagine that although Li Nuo was in a wheelchair, she wasn't in much better shape.

"If you won't insert it, I will." After uttering these lewd words, Li Nuo inserted the chip into his nostril.

Information flowed into the brain like a clear stream.

Accompanying the message was a musical melody.

Gongxia mi, wa qin qiu, ti ding e sen li, Gongxia mi, wa qin qiu, guo za e se xi~
"Old Ma, can you turn the music off?"

"Just slap yourself in the face."

"You think you can fool someone with over 5,000 insight points?"

"Then silently say 'close'."

Without music interference, information flows in much faster.

Nanami and her group are squandering Sauron's assets, while the rest of the corridor members have gone to their own "gathering areas" to get some rest before the next playthrough.

Regarding the "Endless Corridor" that Li Nuo was most concerned about, Wells had found his teammates and didn't plan to participate in the next scenario, so he would temporarily avoid meeting with Li Nuo to mitigate the risks.

Adam proposed to Ni Yuexing and specifically instructed Marger not to tell Li Nuo.

At least Judge Hugh Farrell won't take action against Adam and Wells; their abilities are not worth manipulating.

"The Corridor of the Sky" and "The Corridor of the End" explicitly stated their cooperation with Malger, guaranteeing that they would not cause trouble in the next script, provided that Li Nuo did not cause trouble.

Aita and Pippen have disappeared, saying they're trying to find a way to revive Phil.

The entire "Redemption Corridor" team broke through to level 99, but four of them, including Milo, were pushed too hard and couldn't keep up with the higher levels. So, the four of them were handed over to Soren for management.

You can now return to the settlement at any time using "Black Goat's Fingers," but considering the scenario is about to end peacefully, and there might be bugs if you go back before then, the settlement is temporarily closed. The good news is that as long as you have enough Black Goat's Fingers, you might be able to find a way to return to the settlement at any time in the next scenario.

The above is everything inside the chip.

After finishing his own business, Marger took out a scalpel.

"Li Nuo, lie down on the bed, I'm going to operate on you."

"I've had a circumcision."

"You know what I'm going to do."

Marger was unusually serious.

"I'm going to stuff the data from the hard drive left by the king into your brain."

Li Nuo can see fragmented memories of Malger.

[Hmph, when you're operating on this kid, I'll put a stimulant bead inside him that explodes when he gets excited.]

"Sis, don't let him install the menthol capsules on me."

Li Nuo asked for tea.

The operation went smoothly.

Li Nuo has a chip in his head.

Karl's Soul System

[Quality: Garbage]

[Effect: Item with unknown purpose]

[Brief description: This "brief description" was added at the request of our idiot manager, Teacher Ma. Uh, I see.]

"What?!" Li Nuo yelled, clutching his head wound, "What about the back?! It's gone! And you should at least stitch up the laceration in my head! It's bleeding!"

Marger stroked his chin, feigning profundity: "Damn it, those bastard employees don't play by the rules."

Then he had no choice but to dictate it.

The graphics card that Li Nuo found in the Shadowlands of the Golden Tree was indeed left behind by the king, and it contained archived information about the king.

After analyzing it, Marger found that it contained a "garbled" record, which meant that the king might have left information residue somewhere outside the World Tree.

And that's where Ma Ge's awesomeness comes in.

He had the Cairo aliens commission Doraemon to create a "copy mirror," which created a "fake version" of the [Red Ribbon Army Data Extractor] that he relied on for survival. Then, using the [Synthesis Hammer], he combined it with the "graphics card" left behind by the king.

So this thing's hidden effect is pretty awesome:
[In times of crisis, there is a chance to obtain data or skills of "Karl Elimond"]

To verify the gold content of this item, Li Nuo reluctantly grabbed Cha Bai's hand.

"Sis, let's try booking another room."

Cha Bai was bewildered: "Am I that dangerous?"

Marger smoothed things over, saying, "It's a real crisis, and it works best when used outside the World Tree."

The implication is that the World Tree can only effectively activate certain areas that it cannot reach.

Immediately afterwards, Marger snapped his fingers, and two mechanical lifeforms emerged from the vehicle carrying a sophisticated-looking instrument.

There were two rectangular objects on the instrument, resembling rotating heads.

"The 'mysterious gift' you obtained in your mission is this," Marger explained. "That thing was sent into Miss Chabai's 'threshold,' and after being analyzed, this is what it is. I've been mainly working on cracking its internal program these past two days."

The "mystery gift" is Zuo Jing's "deposit" for Li Nuo, meaning a reward for changing the world. There are only two of them, but Marge tried to put them up for sale in the shop.

Priced at approximately 10 gold coins, this indicates that it is at least an "epic" item.

Marjee activated the instrument, and the "mysterious gift" popped up a virtual light screen.

Activation Code: AOHKADCFKADAFBBKAKHXUQIHIUSCBVAKJOI

Li Nuo: "Amazing, I never thought I could use this method to fill in the gaps in a comic."

Marger: "No wonder you're poor." Li Nuo ignored him, staring blankly at the "activation code," and read it aloud from the book.

Two "mysterious gifts" shone brightly, flowing into Li Nuo and Cha Bai respectively.

[A gift from beyond the World Tree: weapon modification technology from the Sakyo Zaibatsu]

[How to use: Select a piece of equipment, silently say "upgrade", and the equipment will randomly gain a top-tier "attribute"]

Li Nuo: "Maggie, upgrade."

Marger: "Why are you so fixated on your crappy gun?"

"What's it to you?" Li Nuo got out of the car, sat back in his wheelchair, pulled out [Maggie], and glanced at the panel.

Maggie +23

[Quality: Epic]

[Demon Hunter Pistol, can hold 12 rounds (the transformable Dragon Strike Cannon form has been removed)]

[Effect 1: The first bullet ignores the target's identity and forcibly reduces their health by 20%. Other buffs cannot be applied. Cooldown time: 48 hours]

[Effect 2: Bullets can penetrate walls, can be enchanted, and when charged, all bullets fired are "mercury bullets"]

[Effect 3: Consumes 10% of the user's life force to fire a "Baptismal Mercury Bullet"]

Effect 4: "White Ivory Barrel" effect, deals an additional 60% critical damage to "Demon" type enemies, and an additional 30% increased damage to "Evil" type or spirit type creatures.

[Effect 5: "White Ivory Barrel" effect, does not consume mana]

[Effect 6: Crimson Particle Torrent, consumes one "Blood Gem" to unleash a red arcane cannon]

[Brief description: From "The Royal Order of the Knights"]

Add a new entry.

[Effect 7: Bullet Penetrates and Causes True Damage]

The fewer words a term contains, the more impactful its effect tends to be.

"Old Ma," Li Nuo tossed the gun to Ma Erjie and said, "level me up to max level."

Marger put the gun into a box, looked up and asked, "Miss Chabai, what about you?"

Cha Bai pursed her lips and said, "I... my weapon... is gone."

Everyone has almost forgotten that Cha Bai's weapon was damaged by Quasimodo and cannot be restored to its original state.

This incident actually tells everyone a rule: players who exceed the level limit have the ability to break the rules of the World Tree.

For example, once a weapon is bound, even if it is damaged in the scenario, it can still be restored after the scenario ends.

However, the white hammer displays the message: "Unbound, permanently disappeared."

“Miss Cha Bai, you should stop thinking about your hammer for now,” Marger said. “Don’t be like Li Nuo, always thinking about that broken gun.”

"What do you mean by a broken gun!" Li Nuo exclaimed angrily.

Marger roared, "I clearly have better firearms here!"

Li Nuo: "Is that shit-shooting gun even meant for human use?!"

Cha Bai: "Anyway, I don't need a hammer!"

Marger scratched his head, having no other choice, and said, "Hmph, I made you a similar one, but I suggest you don't equip it yet. Wait until you move on to the next scenario and see if there's any better technology to evolve it. Anyway, you can always level it up to the maximum level."

As he spoke, he took a "nailing hammer" from the shelf and handed it to Cha Bai.

Cha Bai gripped the small hammer and said, "Hmm... Marje, is it possible that my previous hammer was actually quite large?"

“Take a good look at the item panel,” Marger said.

Li Nuo's Hammer

[Quality: Garbage]

[Effect: It gets bigger when excited]

[Brief description: Contains the genes of a formidable individual; a promising future awaits.]

Marger explained, "This also includes the manufacturing technology of the 'Armstrong Cyclone Accelerator Armstrong Cannon'."

Li Nuo's eyes lit up: "Is there more? I want some too!"

"Don't be greedy! Do you know how much effort Mr. Henry put into making this hammer!"

"It's my essence!"

While they were arguing, Cha Bai held the broken hammer, looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt like crying.

Because of her excitement, the hammer suddenly grew larger, becoming as big as a building.

After a while...

Marger put the hammer away.

"It needs further modification; it's unstable."

"Do you want Soren to use the [Explorer] to take a look?" Cha Bai's face was dejected, and he was exhausted.

"Hmph." Marger snorted coldly, as if to say, "Your wisdom is that of a mortal."

Li Nuo translated, "This hammer is the best answer that Soren gave after looking into it."

Marger then explained properly: "The hammer's creation material was found by Sauron in this era. I modified it using the technology of the 'Bulma Merchant Guild.' This spiked mace is a biological weapon with potential for growth. I'll give it to you after I've improved it a bit."

Cha Bai could only nod.

Just then, a long luxury car drove up and stopped right on the side of the road.

The rear door opened, and Gardevoir, dressed in a black dress, stepped out and took out a wheelchair. The other door opened, and Sauron stepped out of the car and sat in the wheelchair.

Ever since Sauron broke his leg in the "Vaporwave" script, he has gradually become inseparable from his wheelchair; it's just too comfortable.

Gardevoir took out a black umbrella, stuck it on the wheelchair, and pushed Sauron toward Lino and the others.

The wind was not noisy at all.

Cha Bai pushed Li Nuo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and looked at Soren, who was also sitting in a wheelchair.

For a moment, the two of them didn't know how to greet each other.

After looking at it again and again, they both stood up from their wheelchairs, feeling embarrassed.

"Are we idiots...?"

Li Nuo is unable to examine himself.

"I've come to see you because I have something important to tell you."

Soren changed the subject.

The things that Four-Eyes cares about are important to everyone.

The [Drawing Quill] obtained during the Atkinson dungeon quest comes from the Second Age: Dark Souls. Its effect is: it cannot draw landscapes, but can only draw those who are dead and originally possessed future life.

Originally, Atkinson intended the brushstrokes for the doll to use. In order to use the brush, Atkinson had been researching how to create a "world within a painting" in order to obtain a canvas that would allow the brush to trigger its effects.

But Sauron himself discovered the [Painting World Manufacturing Technology] in this future world.

Combining the brush and the canvas also requires a painter.

“There are two choices.” Li Nuo took out the [Drawing Feather Pen], twirling the pen as he spoke: “Resurrect Phil, and let the idiot couple be our dogs. Or you can be our dog…”

Soren: "Please, Lino."

He was very sincere and earnest, unlike himself at all.

“Lillian, right?” Li Nuo asked with a smile.

Soren touched his glasses and nodded: "I can't let my future child disappear..."

As they were talking, Gardevoir brought out a canvas, and Lino took the canvas into the truck, telling everyone, "Don't disturb me while I'm creating."

One can question Li Nuo's combat prowess or even his intelligence, but his painting skills are beyond doubt. There are painting-related life skills in the corridor. If we were to calculate his painting skills according to skill level, it would be [Painting: MAX], commonly known as a human scanner.

Moreover, during the painting process, it is best for the painter to have a good understanding of the person in the painting, and in this case, only Li Nuo has a good understanding of Lillian.

Inside the truck.

Li Nuo found this quill pen quite interesting; it could not only adjust the "ink color" for coloring, but also switch to the "charcoal pencil" function for sketching. Thus, Li Nuo came up with a good idea.

Half an hour later.

He got out of the car carrying a canvas.

When he unveiled the canvas in front of everyone, Lillian's mature and elegant figure was imprinted on the canvas like a photograph.

“I painted a long dress for her, the one she wore when she came to see me in prison. It should be no different.”

Li Nuo explained.

Under everyone's gaze, Lillian's pupils flickered slightly in the painting, and then she clung to the frame and stepped out of the painting.

"I……"

Lillian looked at everyone in surprise, including Soren's relieved expression.

Just as Soren was about to go over and speak, Lillian's expression suddenly changed.

"I……"

She clamped her legs together, her gaze unfocused.

"I feel a little heavy..."
