Chapter 22: Crystal stone

Ready to go, and then on the road, ahead is a grassy slope, above the is an endless forest.
From time to time, a few wild boars in the forest rush out, and the birds on the branches scream and scream. If there is no such task, everything here is growing, and the atmosphere of spring is actually quite good. Suitable for home travel.
　　 Qin Shou's face was expressionless, his face sinking like a stone, he looked at the two buddies in the same car.
　　 He deeply felt that this time his teammates were too strange, or that Li Nuo and Maljie were too calm.
　　 Not to mention the persecution of cyborgs, the fooling of emirs, and the flying cars on the cliffs, things that ordinary people can't do. Just knowing that the difficulty of the task has increased, their immediate reaction is not what a normal person should have.
　　The curiosity is getting heavier and heavier, he is guessing whether the structure of the two people's brains is flawed.
　　 At this time, Li Nuo looked at Qin Shou and patted his fleshy arm, interrupting Qin Shou's thoughts.
　　 "Brother Thin, ask a question, do you actually do creative-related work, such as an advertising planner, or a designer?"
　　 Qin Shou was taken aback when he heard that, then he asked, "How do you know?"
　　 Li Nuo did not answer, lowered his head and said in secret: "So that's it..."
　　 He did not rush to answer Qin Shou’s question, but turned his gaze to Marger who was riding a bicycle.
　　 "Sanitation worker, cleaning industry practitioner, or...Doctor, Marger, does your life have anything to do with these occupations?"
　　 Hearing this question, Marger's pedaling speed obviously slowed down, and turned his head to the side, so that Li Nuo and the two could see the outline of his side face, startled, and said: "Doctor."
　　 Qin Shou was a little surprised at this answer, and wondered in his heart, is it the kind of doctor who treats himself...
　　 "Anorectal department?" Li Nuo asked.
　　 Maljie snorted without answering, turned his head and continued to pedal.
　　 Although Qin Shou reacted slowly, he understood that Marger's humming was basically the default meaning, so he looked at Li Nuo and saw that he was leaning against the side of the frame with his legs crossed and his head slightly lowered.
　　 "Li Nuo, how do you know our profession?"
　　 Qin Shou couldn't help but ask.
Li Nuo raised his head and slowly narrated: "Brother Thin, the equipment that the system gave you during the screening of newcomers is this slingshot, and what Marger gets is the'shit block'. I don't think the system will give it to you for no reason. This weapon, plus the equipment I got, so inferred that the system will set a unique'tag' for each player based on the player's occupation or characteristics during his lifetime."
　　 Marger suddenly said: "What do you call the ‘tag’ is related to the player’s growth?"
　　 Li Nuo was stunned: "The label is linked to our attribute value, so it should be regarded as there, and there is another very interesting thing."
Li Nuo paused, and then said: "For example, Brother Thin, if I were a system, I would definitely assume that your body shape is greater than your career, and then give you a black iron ball that can be used, but since the system defaults that your career is more representative You, it means that either you are an individual, or you have been puffy in recent years. With this assumption, when you encounter other players in the future, you can use this assumption to infer the basic information of that player’s personality and other basic information, so as to determine whether to cooperate. ."
　　The words fell, Li Nuo and Maljie seemed to be thinking about the problem just now, the scene was silent for a moment, only Qin Shou's focus was not on this.
　　 Compared with the "Endless Corridor" growth model, he is more curious about Li Nuo's identity in reality.
　　 "Li Nuo, what profession does your iron rod represent?" Qin Shou misunderstood that the iron rod was Li Nuo's initial equipment.
　　 However, through Li Nuo's precise eye-piercing technique and every skillful stirring action in his eyes, Qin Shou had an immature answer in his heart, a professional sewer dredge.
　　 Li Nuo raised his at Qin Shou, letting him see [Red Tearstone Ring].
　　 explained before Qin Shou's unhappy expression: "This ring is my initial equipment. When the blood volume is below 20%, the attack power is increased by 50%."
Before Qin Shou could speak, Li Nuo continued: "This has nothing to do with my profession. Just like I guessed, the'tag' is the characteristic or profession of the player during his lifetime. My characteristic is obviously greater than that of the profession, so I will get this ring. "
　　 When he said this, Li Nuo was also thinking that if his professional characteristics were more obvious, he might get a pen that could only write the word "poor."
　　 "So what are your characteristics that are higher than professional?" Qin Shou asked.
　　 Li Nuo smiled, and said indifferently: "Patient."
　　 Mental Hospital... These are the four words that floated in Qin Shou's mind.
　　 "Can I ask you as a patient...what disease did you have?"
　　 "Anyway, it is a congenital disease that ordinary people can't even think about. In short, people like me are basically the same rare species as the three-legged toad."
　　 "What mentality can put yourself and the three-legged toad on the same platform!"
　　 There was a wry smile on Li Nuo's face hidden under the mask, although there was no sound.
　　 Being a diseased seedling that can't live or die, and is so cold-eyed, sometimes it's not as good as a three-legged toad. At the very least, cherish the mutant varieties and be protected, delicious and delicious.
　　 And myself... Li Nuo couldn't help but feel helpless when he thought of this.
　　 But everything is a double-edged sword, and the pain brought him endless torture, and also gave him extraordinary endurance.
　　The script has been in progress, and it can still maintain a calm appearance on the surface, because Li Nuo understands what to do and what to put down at this time.
　　Completing the task is more important than everything. Only by restraining his emotions can he solve the urgent tasks. In fact, he is also enduring his inner panic and anxiety.
　　……
　　 When I was gagging, the car had already driven out of the woods, and what was reflected in everyone's eyes was a large square.
　　The field is half the size of a football field and is extremely empty.
　　 The three large stone gates that originally existed here have collapsed. Cliffs and towering stone walls surround the square, and a stone bridge that should lead to the next area has broken.
　　 is impassable, which means this is the terminus of the forest area.
　　 But what is more abrupt with the scene in front of you is that there is a blue crystal stone standing tall in the center of the square.
　　 The three people parked the car at the entrance of the square, got off the car and walked to the spar. When they got closer, they could clearly see the light ripples and ripples on the stone surface, which were very eye-catching.
　　 Maljie and Qin Shou frowned. They knew it was the key item of the mission at a glance, but they didn't dare to reach out and touch them at will. After all, the brighter the surface, the greater the danger hidden.
Li Nuo's face hidden under the mask was seriously invaded, thinking secretly about the origin of this spar, "This thing must have nothing to do with the game "Neil"...that can only be in "Final Fantasy 7" Something, crystal..."
　　 "This is the spar of the Final Fantasy series." Li Nuo murmured.
　　 Then Mal Jie and Qin Shou turned their eyes to Li Nuo.
　　 Just like that, everyone stared and seemed to be asking the same question silently.
　　 What shall we do next?
　　 I didn't dare to touch this spar, I was afraid that I would be responsible after touching it, but this forest has reached the end, 2B has not appeared, the BOSS has not appeared, and the road to other areas has also been broken.
　　 So, I can’t do anything.
　　Time flies. Three seconds later, Marger took the lead: "Would you like to touch it?"
　　 Li Nuo and Qin Shou simultaneously waved their arms and made a "please" gesture.
　　 Malger swallowed. The two teammates were really serious, but they all said everything, for the sake of face.
　　 "Let me observe first." Marger squatted in front of the spar, bringing his face closer.
　　 There is no other information inside the crystal except the turbid blue light, at least from the naked eye.
　　 Just watched like an archeologist for dozens of seconds, Marger was still hesitating whether to touch the stone, while Li Nuo was distracted and looked around for 2B.
　　 "Brother Ma, do you see anything?"
　　 Qin Shou asked, and at the same time he leaned forward, and then... his out-of-normal belly touched Malger's back.
　　 In a hurry, Malger's entire face was stuck on the surface of the spar like a dog.
　　 "Uh... Brother Ma, I didn't mean..."
　　 "Brother Thin..."
　　 At this moment, a dazzling blue light popped out of the spar, and the ground and the three players were surrounded by the dazzling sky blue.
　　 The sound of the system appeared in everyone's ears.
　　 [Main task: find the source of the sound, completed]
　　 [Main Quest Update: Destroy the crystal and prevent the world from meeting]
　　【Remaining time of the task: 90 minutes】
　　【Number of spars: 2/2】
