I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Sun Yang put away his sentimentality and looked not far from the campfire. The familiar yet unfamiliar farmer was standing nearby, accompanied by the energetic warrior.

It seems that he no longer sells vegetables, perhaps he has found another way to make a living. After all, vegetables are not easy to sell.

This farmer himself is much stronger than the last time they met. It must be that his body has responded to his fighting spirit during the constant fighting.

After all, the so-called soul or life force can be strengthened through self-discipline and the exploration of potential. Although this statement may sound a bit ridiculous, some experiments have shown that the human body does respond to the power of will.

Sometimes, people who firmly believe that they are very strong can even exert greater muscle strength than those who have taken drugs such as adrenaline.

But there's no point in saying this. These comments are merely from the perspective of ordinary people. If we judge by the standards of the undead, this farmer still needs to be honed. He's good at self-preservation, but not good at attacking.

"Hello again. Sorry it took so long," Sun Yang tugged at his clothes. "The difference in the passage of time always gives me a headache."

"That's all right. Everything will be fine as long as the goods are made. Are your goods ready?" The farmer took out two plain-looking rings as if by magic.

Sun Yang could feel a strange magical power operating above, which was completely different from the magic in the Dark Souls world, and more like a manifestation of power from other worlds.

But no matter what kind of power it is, as long as it can strengthen oneself, it is a good thing.

Sun Yang sat near the campfire for a while, and pretended to take out a magnetic short spear launcher that could be used by one person. Along with the launcher, he also pulled out a metal box that was one meter tall.

"The launcher also has a hundred alloy short spears," Sun Yang carefully handed them to the farmer in front of him, "even a well-preserved metal puppet can be penetrated with one blow."

The short spear launcher wasn't complex; all you had to do was insert the spear through the front of the launcher, hold it up, and fire at the target. The built-in sights ensured accurate hits within a range of several dozen meters. As for the other details, the weapon itself handled them all.

In Crouch's words, the launcher's technological content was ridiculously low-tech, like using cutting-edge technology to create a Renaissance weapon. Perhaps only a humanoid doing engineering work would use such a tool.

Using it as a weapon is a joke on your life, and no one would fight with such an inefficient thing - unless your goal is to reach the other side of the broken bridge and use it to shoot a few metal cones hanging on the rope.

Although Sun Yang also wanted to complain about this weapon, it seemed that the customer was quite satisfied?

The farmer in front of him stood up excitedly, picked up the launcher and gestured with it, then exclaimed, "Is this weapon so light? Or has my strength increased?"

"The material used to make this weapon is very special, and the craftsmanship and design used are also very advanced." Since no one could see through him, Sun Yang just said it casually, "You won't find another weapon as unique as this in the world. It is one of a kind."

"Target..." The farmer looked around and it seemed not a good idea for Rumi to cause trouble here.

"I can provide you with a target." Sun Yang ran back and pulled out a thick Saturn alloy plate from the base. Although the humanoids complained, business was more important at the moment. He could just return it later.

"This block is made of the same metal as your armor. It is also of the same quality as the short spear you want. Try it, sir." Sun Yang placed the board in front of a broken stone.

The farmer nodded, he held the launcher to the board and pressed the launch button.

Poof! The recoil caused the farmer to pause for a moment, but the loaded short spear was launched in an instant and directly nailed into the alloy plate and embedded in the stone behind it.

The farmer's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked quite satisfied. Although Sun Yang didn't think much of it, wasn't this a close-range armor-piercing round?

Instead of using this thing, it would be better to use some fusion rockets to clean up the area, or shrink it a little and use anti-armor machine guns to attack it.

Never mind, it seems this guy isn't preparing for a world war like me, he just needs some armor-piercing methods for his adventures. Otherwise, he wouldn't need reusable short spears as ammunition.

"It's certainly powerful, but I can't seem to pull the short spear out?" the farmer scratched his head. The warrior beside him walked over silently and pulled the short spear and the plank out of the stone, but couldn't separate the two objects.

"I'll just give you one. You can keep this as a souvenir." Sun Yang quickly replaced the missing one for the sponsor. It seemed that he cared about it very much.

"Thank you so much. As agreed, I'll give you these two rings." The farmer was straightforward enough and handed the two rings to Sun Yang.

Sun Yang couldn't wait to swap the rings. In his left hand, he had the Clear Blue Stone Ring and the Strength Ring. In his right hand, he had the Standing Dragon's Brilliance Ring and the Strength Ring. This ring wouldn't even produce a magical counterforce!

In the Dark Souls world, two rings of the same nature cannot be worn at the same time, otherwise there will be problems, but this ring actually has a beneficial effect on oneself at the same time.

Strength...flows within the body.

Just as Sun Yang was feeling the surging power, the farmer took out some odds and ends from the wooden box behind him, as if he was preparing to sell something else.

When Sun Yang saw the wooden box, he suddenly came to his senses and wondered whether the magic farmer would sell this magical bottomless box.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Farmer. Actually, I have another request. I wonder if you can continue the transaction now?" Sun Yang's wording became more serious.

The farmer looked at Sun Yang strangely, as if wondering why Sun Yang's attitude suddenly became respectful.

But he didn't think much about it and just nodded to indicate that the transaction could continue.

"I want a magic box," Sun Yang said, staring at the farmer. "What do I need in exchange?"

"Even if you say so..." The farmer looked a little embarrassed, as if he was thinking.

"Please! I'll even perform a hundred backflips for you!" Sun Yang really wanted this box.

With this thing, the supply work of the humanoids has a guarantee. Even if they are not with the combat team, the humanoids carrying this box can complete combat missions independently for a long time. This is really a good thing!

"Why a backflip... I can sell it," the farmer said after thinking for a moment. "Do you have any metal plates of this material? I want... three cubic meters! I don't want a whole piece, just enough."

The farmer held up three fingers, and the expression on his face seemed to say: I want a lot!

Sun Yang was secretly thankful that the other party didn't ask for anything outlandish. You really don't have any ambitions, after all this thought, you actually want Saturn alloy raw materials? That stuff is already everywhere in the base.

"There aren't many in stock, but if you want to exchange it for this box, I'll accept it." Sun Yang nodded and turned to take out the stock from the campfire.

"Commander! Why did you take away our prepared targets? They are used to test the power of new artillery!" The heavy armored team protested noisily.

"I'm making a deal. Let the agent fill it up for you." Sun Yang quickly typed a response, then carried bags of alloy metal plates and placed them in front of the farmer, quickly piling them up into a small mountain. To avoid any hesitation from the farmer, he even found something that even humans could use.

"This is the alloy you requested, and it also comes with a medical bed." Sun Yang walked over, carrying a two-meter-five-long enclosed medical bed. "I found this too. Lying in it can cure any disease or even a fracture! However, limb defects will take longer to heal."

"You can find such a magical thing?" The farmer raised his eyebrows at the medical bed. "You really can take out anything..."

"At the beginning, when my strength was declining, I relied on it to survive. Later, when my body became stronger, I no longer needed it. I just gave it to you as a favor." Sun Yang made up another story.

"Then I accept it." After confirming that all the supplies were in place, the farmer handed an empty box to Sun Yang. "I will give you full use of the box. You can designate who can use it. No one else can open the box under any circumstances."

Without further ado, Sun Yang clicked on the box, and a familiar interface appeared before his eyes. 36 pixel-style grids appeared before him.

Although I already guessed you were a Stardew Valley farmer, or a local who was reincarnated as a Stardew Valley farmer based on your previous behavior, this box definitely confirms your identity... By the way, are these two rings also made in Stardew Valley?

Sun Yang didn't know much about the game Stardew Valley, but it was good to have a rough idea of ​​the other party's identity. If he could continue negotiations in the future, that would be even better.

"Although this box can hold a lot of things, it's not that strong. A huge external force may destroy it, and then everything inside will explode. You have to use it with care." The farmer warned.

It's okay, just wrap it with a layer of alloy cushioning. It's very simple to reinforce the wooden box. After Sun Yang confirmed that the wooden box was indeed reliable, he nodded respectfully to the farmer in front of him.

"Looking forward to the next transaction, I'm leaving first." Sun Yang said and left in a swift and decisive manner.

"What a rush! See you next time," the farmer responded, then began mumbling about how to assemble the medical bed.

But this has nothing to do with Sun Yang. He doesn't provide after-sales service for the gifts.

567 Fooling a Group of Thugs

Sun Yang didn't stay here for long. This wasn't his home, and the people around him felt awkward and unfamiliar with his arrival. Some of the residents had even forgotten who he was.

But since he was here, Sun Yang decided to deal with some of the problems that had been left behind. For example, he would check on Andil's situation and the undead teams that had grown up through mutual help.

But before that, let me see if I can upgrade. I can’t remember when was the last time I upgraded.

Sun Yang half-knelt and reached out to the girl in green robes. She placed her hands on Sun Yang's shoulders, and the familiar interface reappeared.

【活力80精力80体力80意志力99力量42敏捷36适应力62智力66信仰99】

The souls stored in his body were not many. After all, the vitality of the people in Night City was generally weak. Sun Yang could not accumulate too much power before a large-scale war.

However, people die all the time in Night City, and Sun Yang can absorb some souls from time to time just by sitting still. Over time, it is enough for him to make up for his shortcomings.

【活力80精力80体力80意志力99力量42敏捷42适应力62智力66信仰99】

Simply improving agility is enough. If the attributes with too high values ​​cannot be improved, just make up for the shortcomings of the bucket.

"Thank you." Sun Yang stood up and reached for the spiral sword on the campfire. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the dilapidated house outside Andil's mansion. The house was even more dilapidated than he remembered.

"Who are they?" Several men and women, wielding enchanted long cleavers and dressed in light cloth, approached from the grass outside. Judging from the strength of their souls, they seemed to be just... mortals?

"I'm Sun Yang, and I'd like to say hello to Andil, the owner of the mansion." Sun Yang looked at these humans carefully. They had different looks and body shapes, but none of them had any strange animal symptoms or disabilities.

"You go to Lord Andil. Sorry, guest, you cannot enter until you are notified." The female human in the lead said seriously.

Sun Yang could easily kill a human like this with a single blow. I wonder why Andil chose these people as his gatekeepers? Doesn't he have undead investigators who traveled through the mirror world? Where did those people end up?

But before Sun Yang could figure it out, a familiar-looking drone flew over. From it came a familiar voice: "My friend Sun Yang, what brings you here?"

"I was passing by on my way to do some business and came to see you. What's wrong with these humans? They seem very weak, and... don't look like undead." Sun Yang stared at these humans for a long time before confirming that they were living people, not undead plagued by the curse of undeadness.

"We are seeds, the seeds of a new world. This is what Lord Andil taught us," said the human guarding the courtyard. "We learn knowledge from Lord Andil, practice martial arts, and reproduce. We prepare for the future deep sea era."

"Have you finished analyzing it?" Sun Yang immediately realized how these humans came to be. They were machines he had sent over, combined with Andil's knowledge to create artificial humans.

These artificial humans do not have the power of fire in their bodies, and cannot absorb souls to strengthen themselves or delve into those ancient and powerful spells. They will not become powerful, but their descendants will be able to grow old and die normally.

They are not the villains of this world, nor are they creatures that will wither into mindless zombies without the power of fire. They have been like this since they were born.

"Finished product. Or it can be improved. Plenty of time." Andil said concisely.

If it is impossible to remove the curse of the undead and end the cycle of the rise and fall of fire, then we should abandon this cycle and allow humans who are not cursed to survive in this world.

That would require an extremely long wait, until hundreds or thousands of years later, when there was no one left to pass on the fire. When the world turned into yellow sand and became nothingness again, these artificial humans cultivated by Andil would be able to return to the dark earth and reproduce civilization.

But it is undeniable that only those who do not harbor flames within themselves, who do not rely on them, can escape the fate of reincarnation. The future is uncertain, but at least they have embarked on a different path, and that alone is enough.

Andil had plenty of time, and these humans were just the first batch he had created. They needed to be observed, experimented with, and improved upon.

These artificial humans were probably placed here for experimental purposes, to test their combat capabilities and their ability to work together. As for moral issues like killing, they were never considered by Andil.

He had once killed countless people for his experiments, and now he was just doing what he would have done in the past. Although Andil had great ambitions and sacrificed everything for the future, it was undeniable that most of his sacrifices were the lives of others.

Sun Yang has no intention of commenting on Andil, nor will he do anything because of his words or actions.

After all, Sun Yang himself is not a good person. He has killed innocent people and torn apart people who are difficult to judge whether they are good or bad. The research on humanoids often challenges ethics.

After these androids confirmed that the visitor was Andil's friend, they put away their weapons, turned around, picked up scissors, shovels, buckets and other things, and dispersed.

They should be responsible for the gardening and cleaning work inside the Andil Mansion.

"It's enough to see that you are still alive. By the way, help me see where these undead are. Can't you cross the time barrier? Please win these people over. I have something to discuss with them." Sun Yang showed Andil a list.

"Running errands..." Andil made a rare complaint.

"I have built a human machine for you. Is it okay just this time? And don't you often run back and forth between the spiral swords to chat with people?" Sun Yang directly used a specious argument to make Andil lose his temper.

If he relied solely on Sun Yang, it would probably take him about a year to find everyone. But Andil could use the spiral sword to find people, so he was very efficient.

Just a few hours later, Sun Yang met the person he was waiting for by a campfire in the wild.

Veteran Bradley, shy Lei, and rogue knight Grenkel are the core strength of this White Spirit mutual aid team. Because they are actively fighting everywhere and helping weak undead, their combat capabilities and souls are quite powerful.

The headhunter Oher and the devoted Scarlett, though slightly weaker, were both skilled archers and a remarkably strong ascetic. They also joined in, believing in Bradley's words.

Several others joined later, including the pilgrim Belcleya, the brave Felicia, and the wandering swordsman Eidol. These people encountered setbacks during their journey and received assistance from the White Spirits, so they will fight alongside the mutual aid team.

These eight undead beings are the Bai Lings who are still quite active and alive on this continent today.

In addition to those who were certified by Bradley as reliable white spirits, some well-informed people also arrived here uninvited.

Mercenary Ruth is here purely to earn souls. He is a professional meat shield bodyguard.

Vanholt of Ugg, Ellie of Steel, Eddythorn the Transcendent, and Loli the Unyielding. These four have no interest in assisting others, but they all possess the heart of a warrior. They all yearn to hone their skills, challenge stronger foes, and test the limits of the undead body. They come to challenge unknown foes.

The last one was a large man, isolated and wary of everyone. He looked to be a full two meters and five inches tall, twice as big as the surrounding undead. He wore rusty red armor and held two rusty scarlet swords on his back.

"I heard you needed help, so I came here. I wonder if you still remember me," the big man nodded politely after seeing Sun Yang. "I'm Wenger, and I swore to help you solve some of your problems."

Sun Yang looked around and found that there were a few fewer people than he remembered, but those people were probably not interested, or simply had grudges against the people here and did not dare to come over.

Everyone who comes here has their own purpose. Some come to explore other worlds, some to become stronger, and some to repay a favor.

"Some of you should have seen me. I once told you that I found another world... I gave you a lot of time to think about it. If anyone is bored staying in this world, you can come with me to take a look at another world." After Sun Yang finished speaking, he looked at the undead people in front of him.

The undead looked at each other and said nothing.

"Everyone, I'm here to seek help. I believe those who come here are sincere and won't spread the news." Sun Yang pulled out a bunch of random electronic products, as well as various magazines and content about Night City. "Take a look, you haven't seen these before. Last time, we were in a hurry, but this time you'll have time to take your time."

The undead weren't fools. Even though they couldn't understand the magazines, any normal person could use a Mewtwo. They took turns wearing the portable Mewtwo and experiencing it.

Some people were frightened and screamed at the extremely realistic environment, but they were soon drawn in by the various novel lifestyles and immersive movies presented in the Mewtwo movie. The strongest point of the Mewtwo movie was that it could even simulate taste, emotion, and touch. Many undead who had lost their sense of taste kept smacking their lips, recalling the taste of food.

"I have a professional medical team who can help you recover your lost senses. I'm also undead, but I can eat and drink normally. As for your concerns about your soul... let me explain, everyone. Night City is not short of fighting. In a city with a population of millions and rife with violence, over a hundred people die every day."

"There are a lot of damned people in this city. Countless gangs and corporate lackeys are exploiting the lower classes. Everywhere you look, there are targets to deal with. If you can't deal with them, I can provide support."

Sun Yang's words finally moved the hearts of these undead people. The high-tech life was indeed fascinating and much more comfortable than sleeping in the ruins.

"I will hire you, and accommodation and benefits will be arranged for you individually. What you have to do is stand on my side in future wars. I need your fighting power." Sun Yang said to Bradley.

Bradley is a warm-hearted Miracle Warrior who will fight to protect the weak.

"So our job is to deal with the city's murderers, kidnappers, and the like, and then deal with the corporate dogs when conflicts break out?"

Bradley took off his Mewtwo glasses. He hadn't yet fully digested the knowledge of the other world, but a quick glance showed that many people in the city needed help. He felt that going there wouldn't be a bad idea.
