"Zishu is so interesting. I will definitely thank you in person in the future!"
Li Zheng first went back to his own greenhouse and handed the handheld computer to Miriel: "Well, weren't you thinking about it before? Just in time, I'll give you something to do."
"This is..." Miriel had been taking a nap with her eyes closed, but now she opened her eyes and looked at the handheld computer curiously: "Your translation tools have been delivered?!"
She jumped up, took the handheld computer from Li Zheng, and started pressing it with a strange expression on her face.
"I said you should take it easy and don't delete the data by mistake." Li Zheng reminded worriedly.
"Don't worry, deleting this function will definitely be designed in the corner. If I don't touch the edge of the screen, nothing will happen." Miriel flipped through it for a long time, not understanding it, and handed it back to Li Zheng: "Help me
Let’s see if we can change the system language to Abyssal language. Your text looks like squares and I can’t understand it.”
"You are really right. Our language is indeed also called square script." Li Zheng took the handheld computer and rummaged around for a while. He did not find the function of switching the system language, so he had to find a file comparing the Abyssal language with Chinese characters: "This thing
There is no switching function, I will adjust it for you, you can learn by yourself first, and you can use it normally when you can understand Chinese characters."
"...It's okay, it's just a little slow." Miriel didn't care about this detail. Anyway, what she wanted to do was learn foreign languages and writings. It didn't matter which one she learned first.
"Then you learn slowly first. I have to continue to learn about the terminal mission from Basil."
Li Zheng left Miriel behind. Seeing the little succubus quickly getting into a learning state, he shook his head slightly and walked out of the greenhouse.
After finding Basil again, he and Cota had changed places to deal with the plants. When he saw Li Zheng, he asked casually: "Are you done?"
"Yeah." Li Zheng put on the earplugs: "Where did we just talk?"
"Actually, I know almost all the information about the tasks. If you want to know more details, you can only try to take on a few terminal tasks to experience it." Basil said without raising his head: "But it's best not to choose
For eviction and patrol missions, you can start with basic mining missions.
The same basic task is to hunt wild beasts, but that kind of task requires more strength. You'd better do it after your comprehensive strength has been improved to the primary level."
Mining tasks.
This mission is relatively the safest of all mission types, because there is no need to contact the outside world, and there are no wild beasts inside the mine, so there is almost no threat to life.
The disadvantage is that the reward is also the lowest among all tasks. On average, each miner only earns one or two thousand white crystal coins after working hard for one day.
Right now, there are still a lot of people guarding the mission hall in the outer city, eagerly waiting for the mining mission to be released.
When Li Zheng went to the mission hall before, it was overcrowded, and 50% to 60% of them were waiting to grab the mining mission.
"I will." Li Zheng nodded. Seeing that Basil was busy at work, he was about to go back to his greenhouse. Before leaving, he asked: "By the way, I almost forgot the most important question. Did you hear anything about it when you were in other blocks?
Is there anything in the wilderness that can disrupt other people's consciousness, leaving the target with no brain activity at all?"
"Dissolve consciousness?" Basil paused slightly as he worked: "I think I've heard of it."
He stopped what he was doing and seemed to remember something, with a look of loneliness on his face: "The last time I heard about this happening was a year ago. It was my best friend in the 469th neighborhood. He took a shot.
The mission of the wild beast ended up not coming back for more than ten days."
"I thought he had an accident and died in the wilderness."
"Unexpectedly, a month later, he would return to Block 469."
"According to the person who found him at the time, he came back with scars all over his body. He seemed to have been attacked by at least ten weapons, and the deepest one almost killed him."
Having said this, Basil paused and relaxed his mood.
"Thinking about it now, he might as well have died at that time, and he wouldn't have been lying in the clinic in the 469th Street Block for so long, relying solely on nutrient solution to maintain his vital signs."
"Wait a minute, you just said that your friend has been lying in the clinic for a year?" Li Zheng asked: "Didn't the doctors over there try to develop a treatment?"
Basil shook his head: "What should be tried has been tried a long time ago. Although the test subjects woke up from the unconscious state, the effects were not the same. Some people's IQs seemed to have degraded to the infant stage, and some people would only open their eyes in a daze.
Some people become like wild animals, with only survival instincts left."
What Basil said is basically consistent with what Dr. Li Zheng saw.
This shows that not only doctors, but also medical experts in every neighborhood in the outer city are researching treatment methods, but there has been no progress so far.
How was this done, and who did it?
Li Zheng couldn't figure it out.
In fact, the strangest thing to him was that most of the unconscious patients were found by others from outside the city, and when others found them, they had already lost their consciousness, making it easy for others to kill them.
But these people were okay, while the others who followed them were torn into pieces and scattered on the ground.
Why did the guy who did this deliberately leave him alive?
This is not reasonable at all...
"By the way, my friend once said something when he came back..." Basil recalled carefully: "He said, 'I'm waiting for you.'"
"Am I waiting for you?" Li Zheng took out his earplugs and asked with confusion on his face: "Can you say it again?"
"I must have remembered correctly, it is indeed pronounced like this." Basil said in broken Chinese: "I'm waiting for you."
"!!!"
Li Zheng was inexplicably shocked.
It’s actually Chinese!
And it was from a year ago!
This is unreasonable!
This is not reasonable at all!
It has only been about a month since Blue Star players entered the Matrix with themselves from Earth. How could someone be using Chinese a year ago?
Are there still time travelers?
who is he?
Bloody One?
Or someone lurking in the outer city?
Who is he waiting for?
Why does he do these things?
Li Zheng's expression became solemn. He had only entered the outer city for half a day, and mysteries came one after another, making his head full of question marks.
There is only one way to figure it all out.
That is to go outside the city in person and try to find the other party.
It just so happened that Li Zheng's original itinerary plan was to go to the ancestral land of the Blood-striped Black Dragon.
According to Xiao, the ancestral land of the Blood-striped Black Dragon is somewhere outside the city, and you can try to find clues on the way.
Li Zheng had a strong hunch that the other party's target was probably him!
