This time I chose Paladin

In today's new world, it is common to wake up and find a snake in your arms when living in the wild. Although Nie Weiyang has rich survival experience in the new world and will not cause such a problem, it is still very annoying if he encounters one on the road.

Nie Weiyang crushed the snake's head with one hand, and a point of light flew out from it. He threw the snake's body far away into the grass and opened this sudden drop.

[[Memory Crystal Blue Ring Snake]-

Carrying memories. -

Use to browse a memory.

Recommended maximum number of uses within 24 hours: 3.

Memory crystals and blue ring snakes are both specialties of the New World.

The latter is a highly poisonous snake with high medicinal value. It often reproduces in humid places such as rivers. In the middle and late stages, biologists and pharmacists developed a high-anticoagulant drug based on the toxin of this snake. It can prevent thrombosis when used in treatment, and can make biological enemies bleed profusely when applied to weapons.

The former is a peculiar crystal that randomly appears in different organisms other than players. It can read random memories. If no one picks it up, it will disappear within half an hour like other summons.

Many people access memory crystals when they're bored, like they've had a dream or played a virtual reality game for a while. However, if you use it too much in a short period of time, it's likely to cause confusion.

Soon, there was no road in the wilderness. Nie Weiyang identified the direction, got out of the car and walked on foot, with melodious music playing in his headphones. After leaving another hill, he entered a flat area.

His destination was near the ruins of a former civilized city called 'T6-C3510'.

Although the name is strange, this is how cities in pre-civilizations were named. This complete urban relic and its supporting facilities and buildings will not move. They will stay where they appear.

The last place Nie Weiyang was in his previous life was a city-type ruin.

Among the enemies surrounding him was a large team of summoners, as well as a group of formation masters, seal masters, barrier masters, and sorcerers to provide support. All the enemies present at the time were discarded pawns - those extremely fanatical anti-humanists who just wanted to use the terrain and numbers to the best of their ability to hold back him and his comrades, no matter how many died.

There are some complex yet simple reasons why those people insist on being enemies of the order forces centered on China: interests and positions.

Conflicts of interest can be reconciled, but conflicts of positions cannot be reconciled.

When some "people" insist that they are not human but "more noble creatures", "family members of some great thing", and believe that those who refuse to sell out human interests and refuse to kneel down are "ungrateful" and "hopeless", you simply cannot communicate with them, nor can you speculate about them with human thinking, because in essence you are no longer the same species.

What's even more ridiculous is that with the change of bloodline, this kind of person was destined to appear from the beginning.

Nie Weiyang listened attentively to the sounds from all directions, holding [Whisper] in his hand and pushing aside the grass.

He had been traveling for three days, and this heavy stabbing sword currently served him mainly as a pathfinder and a firewood stick, and secondly as a spare sword - if Whisper had consciousness, it would probably prefer to rot in the treasure chest, but at this point, it had become an excellent firewood stick.

The young man's voice passed through the forest softly, his steps as unobtrusive as ever. But soon, his raised leg suddenly hung in mid-air and slowly retracted.

He slowly parted the grass on the ground with his sword.

A pair of animal traps were displayed in front of him, their sharp teeth flashing with a cold light.

……

"Do you think I can get anything to eat today?" A girl muttered dejectedly in the forest. She had red hair and red eyes, and beautiful red gradient earrings on her ears, which made her little face look lively.

"I don't know." The boy walking behind her answered coldly. There were some faint white-brown scales on his skin, his irises were a strange black, and he had a faint fishy smell.

The girl frowned: "You don't care too much..."

"Of course I don't care, Li Duo. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have joined the camp guards, with free food and lodging every day. Why would I even need to go out hunting?!" The boy was obviously a little angry. "I'm a five-step snake! Big brother thinks highly of me! What about you? You say you're a bird, but you can't even fly and don't even have wings, and you won't even tell me what you are!"

"I've already told you I'm Danque!" Li Duo also started to get anxious and angry. "I've told you several times! Lu Ran! Are your teachers and classmates trying to stop you because they want to harm you? You saw what those people in the camp look like! They escaped from prison!"

"So, what is a red bird?! I've never even heard of this kind of bird!" Lu Ran raised his voice. "Even if you don't want to harm me, you don't want my best! So what if my brother and the others have been in jail? Times have changed!"

"Is that what I'm talking about?! 'Escaped from prison', don't you understand?!" Li Duo's voice rose again, her fiery red hair fluttering slightly, burning like flames. "I heard before that they came out of a heavy prison! They are murderers!"

"I told you times have changed! So what if I kill people!" Lu Ran roared, "It's right to live well! If Teacher Lin didn't want to kill people, he would have died! Let me tell you, Li Duo, you eat so much all day long, so what if you're a spellcaster? Don't say you're taking care of me, you're just a pig that gets angry!

"Luo Chen and I have already agreed to join the camp guards together. When the time comes, all of you will have to obey my orders!"

"You...!!" Li Duo was almost crying with anger. She seemed to have not expected him to speak to her like that. She held it in for several seconds before shouting, "Then go away! I don't care about you anymore!"

"Just go! Who wants you to care about me!" Lu Ran turned around and left, soon disappearing without a trace.

Li Duo initially waited for him to come back, but when she saw that he had really left, she was almost mad with anger. She leaned against a tree trunk, her long hair losing its luster, and began to cry silently.

During this entire process, neither Lu Ran nor Li Duo noticed that there was actually... a person squatting on a tree branch a few meters above their heads.

Nie Weiyang clasped his hands together and squatted on a tree branch. He silently glanced at the slender Li Duo, then at the branch that had been bent dangerously by his weight: "......?"

Chapter 68 Yang Wuji

Forget it, my buddy has a high bone density and muscle ratio, and he's wearing armor, so it's normal for him to be a little heavier than in his previous life.

Nie Weiyang glanced in the direction where Lu Ran disappeared.

—Camp? Teachers and classmates? Heavy prison? Murderer?

The combination of these words made him smell a hint of conflict.

Nie Weiyang stared down at the fiery red head, as if thinking about something.

Danque, he knew this name.

Wang Jia of the Jin Dynasty wrote in "Records of Lost and Used Things: Emperor Yan and Shennong": "At that time, there was a red bird, which carried nine ears of grain in its beak. When they fell to the ground, the emperor picked them up and planted them in the fields. Those who ate them would grow old but not die." - This red bird once brought full ears of grain to Shennong, and it is actually one of the origins of the "phoenix."

Nie Weiyang knew this because there were indeed a few red birds in the mythical creature bloodline association "Wu Chi Tianmen" in his previous life. He had seen them all for some reasons, but there was no one named "Li Duo" among them. He was probably dead long ago.

As for the reason why he had to see them...

People of non-natural biological descent always have an inexplicable arrogance. If this arrogance is combined with some weird class ideas, it will cause some of them to cause disasters. Indeed, there are such people who have caused human disasters - just as bloodline does not represent true strength, bloodline does not represent whether a person is smart or knows how to judge the situation, let alone make some of them understand what morality and the rule of law are.

One of the functions of Nie Weiyang and his department is to become a shackle for those people.

Meet?

Identity recognition entry tracking system!

Don’t ask, the answer is that I have killed someone.

Now, this Danque and her... friends? Classmates?

They looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, a little older than the Liu Bang and Xiang Yu couple who had given him the bicycle, but not much older. To be honest, even though they had been floating in the new world for three months, they were still just immature children.

But the way that boy spoke made him deserve some punishment from his teachers and classmates.

Nie Weiyang wasn't ready to expose himself just yet; he was going to the "camp" to take a look. Li Duo cried for a while, then stood up again. Tears still welled in her eyes as she parted the grass. Seeing no animals caught in traps, she sighed and checked a few more nearby traps. She pulled out two rabbits and a pheasant, and her hair began to glow again.

You have to argue, but you also have to eat!

The girl took out a plastic rope that was obviously used in many battles, tied up the prey, and restored the trap. She held the two bloody rabbits in one hand and the pheasant's neck with the other, and walked back quickly.

So many prey were caught on a hillside. This shows that this world, full of vitality and where everything has blood bars, is also a world with abundant resources.

The camp was located in a natural cave. The bodies of two speed runners lay at the entrance of the cave. Several men, women, old and young were guarding the door. Inside the cave, there were various straw huts, and more than a hundred people lived there. Among them, more than forty people were staying on the edge. Although the spaces on both sides were connected, these people were obviously a small settlement compared to others.

Li Duo walked in with her prey, ignoring the looks from the men around her, and quickly ran towards the small settlement. On the way, she passed several other young men and women carrying their prey. Although some of those who were not of mythical descent were visibly pale, they were all smiling.

"The rainy season is over, and the little animals are all out. That's great." Another girl started talking to Li Duo. The two were obviously very familiar with each other, grinning and huddling together. "That should be Teacher Zhao Zhongxiang's voice here—oh, where's Lu Ran? Isn't he your partner? Why are you alone?"

Meanwhile, the other girl beside him was also curiously looking at Li Duo. When Li Duo heard that name, her face fell. She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. "...Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's cook first. I wonder how much the picking team has brought in today. I hope there are some vegetables. The ones I planted earlier all got soaked and rotted in the rain..."

As they were talking, they walked into the settlement. In the middle of the settlement stood a stone pot, and several young students were pouring water into it with crude wooden buckets.

Several people were sitting nearby, picking vegetables on stone piles that had been used as tables and benches. One of the grown men looked with a headache at a few seemingly innocent mushrooms in his hands, and also held a handful of various plants.

"There are so many new mushrooms and new plants popping up after the rainy season," he muttered. "There are more and more things I don't recognize. Damn it..." He paused and swallowed the curse word.

"That's fucked up." A boy wearing glasses next to him grinned and finished his sentence, "It's okay, I'm a 'scholar', and identification can solve everything!"

The man picked up a handful of wild onions and slapped the boy on the head: "Stop talking dirty! Xiaoyu is here!"

The boy turned his head, glanced, and fell silent. Beside them, a little girl, only three or four years old, looked up at the two of them. She blinked, not understanding what they were saying at all. After a moment's thought, she raised a crystal-clear berry to the boy who was being beaten, "Brother, eat..." She seemed unsure what to call it, racking her brains for words: "Eat fruit..."

The boy looked even more guilty. He held it in for two seconds and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyu. I'm full and not hungry." As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of burning red hair from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he waved vigorously to Li Duo, "Li Duo, Li Duo!"

Li Duo was carrying her prey and placing it next to a few students who were cleaning up the animals. Upon hearing this, she turned around and smiled, "Yang Wuji, what's wrong?"

Amid the gossiping gazes of the people around him, Yang Wuji called Li Duo to a place not far away. Behind the eyes of others, he rubbed his hands nervously and took out a beautiful blue-green transparent stone from his pocket.

"Nothing much, just... this is for you," he said. "This is fluorite I picked up in the mountains. It's a bit brittle, but if it were made into jewelry, it would definitely suit you..."

"..." Li Duo stared at the fluorite in a daze for a while. She suddenly looked up at Yang Wuji and asked, "Why did you give me this?"

"I..." Yang Wuji was stuck.

"You know I like Lu Ran and won't accept gifts from other people casually." Li Duo said again.

Yang Wuji's entire body paled visibly.

"But today I understand." Li Duo took the fluorite from his hand and smiled brightly: "He is just an idiot. Thank you for giving me a gift, I like it very much, and I will return the favor."

Yang Wuji was stunned. He stared at Li Duo's back, not knowing whether to echo in his mind "Thank you" or "He's just an idiot." This mysterious and hazy voice made him even a little confused about how to speak. After a while, he suddenly clenched his fist and encouraged himself: "Good!"

"What's good or bad? Come here and pick some vegetables!" The man not far away suddenly raised his voice: "Wuji, your identification skills are so important--" He glanced at the group of girls where Li Duo was, and was about to say something else when Yang Wuji covered his mouth.

"Okay, okay, I've made some progress, Teacher." Yang Wuji gritted his teeth, "I don't want to cause her any trouble. She made it clear that she didn't want to cause me any trouble, you know."

"I don't know. You young people have complicated emotions. Oh, oh..." The man shook his head and suddenly asked in a low voice, "What about Lu Ran?" He paused and said, "That kid... has bad intentions."

"Lu Ran..."

Yang Wuji muttered the name, frowning. After a moment, he suddenly relaxed his brows and put on a completely smiling face. He smiled and greeted the few people who were walking over from a distance: "Hey, big brother! I'm cooking now, want to eat something?

"Lu Ran, you are here too?"

This smooth and fluent face-changing was truly amazing. Nie Weiyang squatted beside an air vent above the cave, crushed a scorpion to death and threw it away, staring at the face.

"Yang Wuji..." Nie Weiyang frowned, "...this lunatic, why is he here?"

Chapter 69: Poison Master

Yang Wuji.

Ten years later, this name has become a taboo that most people don't know and a few people don't want to mention.

This person's profession is a scholar. Logically speaking, the scientific research environment in the new world is too poor, and this late-stage profession that requires academic ability should not become a "taboo" in just ten years, but he did it.

Because he is a scholar who has devoted his entire life to studying one thing.

--poison.

Ever since humanity began to develop civilization, poison has been the easiest way for the weak to triumph over the strong. As a scholar with virtually zero combat power in his early days, Yang Wuji, the master of poison, poisoned everyone, bosses, and anything else he could.

In order to upgrade, he even poisoned an area of ​​water, causing countless casualties in the surrounding settlements, and the dead looked extremely tragic.

Therefore, after the investigation team wasted three months without catching anyone, Zhongzhou chose to directly increase the threat assessment and sent Nie Weiyang, the chief consultant of Zhongzhou Secret Security Department, out - intelligence collection, disguise, tracking, capture, assassination, half of the function of this department is to do these things, and the other half is to go to other people's lairs to do these things.
