MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 48 【Catch insects】

With the upgrading of the quality "Snow Queen", its corresponding stunts "Ice No. 7" and "Ice No. 18" have also been upgraded to candle level.

The crystallization speed and crystal hardness of "No. 7 Ice" have been improved, and Xu Tuoran's control over crystallization has been further strengthened.

For example. If she had a glass of water, Xu Tuoran before could only freeze a layer of ice in it. As for the thickness of the ice layer, it depends on her mental state, and it even depends on her face; but now Xu Tueran...

She could at least be sure of the thickness of the ice she had frozen. If she's in good shape, she can even freeze an entire glass of water at once.

...just a bit of a glass. After all, the volume of ice is still not the same as that of water. After it is completely frozen, the volume expands, and it is a bit easy to fry the cup. Therefore, Xu Tuoran simply tried it twice, and gave up after confirming the feel of the hand.

As for "Ice Eighteen", it is still triggered by the probability of consumption points, but the skill trigger rate has been increased from 50% to 65%. Xu Tuoran felt that the probability was high enough, so he tried to increase the death value by 20 points. After 20 consecutive days, I got nothing, so I gave up silently, planning to go back and pick an auspicious day to talk about it.

...That means she can't adjust the panel of the death value system, otherwise this stunt has rolled out of her skill bar.

It is worth mentioning that the probability that "Ice No. 7" will trigger "abnormal sanity" after using it has not changed, it is still 10%. Considering his slightly bad luck, Xu Turan seemed to suddenly understand why he was still alive and kicking after using No. 7 ice for so long before, and it was not until the later stage that he used it for death to successfully trigger the "abnormal rationality"...

In a sense, her luck has both advantages and disadvantages.

So far, she has completed the upgrade of two abilities. "Chaos" is the lamp, and "natural disaster" is the candle. Both "Beast" and "Order" are still at the stage of "Firefly", and have not obtained the corresponding stunts.

To the outside world, the abilities she refers to are "natural disasters", "beasts" and "eternal day"—because "beasts" are not taken seriously, and "eternal day" is purely a lie, so during this period of time, she mainly The only training direction is "natural disasters".

Logically speaking, the organization generally supports natural disaster-prone ability users to upgrade. But Xu Tuoran also knew in his heart that he was also upgrading so fast that it was a bit abnormal, and it might not be a good thing to say it directly, so he quietly kept it a secret.

Only during the last training the next day, I casually mentioned a few words that I seemed to have entered the "server" in my dream, and it was a pavement for the future explosion, so that the trainer was a little psychologically prepared.

Xu Tuoran is a person who doesn't get sick... No, when he's not doing trouble, it's actually quite easy to make people feel good about him. At least from the outside, he is quiet, indifferent and polite, generous and careless, and has no temper, which is the temperament that the elders like.

The trainer who took her there happened to be a little older, so she took good care of Xu Tuoran. In addition, she performed well in several missions, although she was a bit "hands-on". It is easy to run around in a panic, and it is "cowardly" and easy to be "scared", but overall, it does not hold back, and it is considered qualified as a newcomer.

In short, the trainer had a good impression of Xu Turan. Hearing that she had touched the threshold of upgrading, he gave her encouragement and took the initiative to teach her how to change the medicine that could help her upgrade by doing more tasks.

"Oh yes, have you considered looking for a partner? Or a teacher?" At the end, the trainer suddenly changed the subject, "You are at a low level now, and if you are alone, there are actually not many opportunities to get tasks...Of course , you are a part-time job, and you still have to study, so you shouldn't be involved in this kind of task. But if you want to change your medicine, you still have to fight for it..."

Of course Xu Tuoran didn't need to change his dressing. She has her own way to upgrade. However, it is always good for her to have more mission opportunities.

"Can you tell me more about this?" She asked curiously, "My partner and teacher?"

"A partner is a partner who goes on missions together, a fixed teammate. Your account is bound, and you can be together when you group missions. Teacher, just find an old employee to follow first, and usually ask him to take you. It is similar to the old and the new in a general company. .”

The training teacher explained: "After all, our missions are special in nature, and they are basically group in nature. With a few regular partners, we can cultivate a tacit understanding with each other, and sometimes we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Xu Tueran let out a thoughtful "Oh", for some reason, his first reaction was Yang Buqi.

But that guy was called out urgently at every turn, so he probably doesn't have much time to bring newcomers, right?

...But from another perspective, what Yang Buqi can participate in is generally a big event. This kind of task, the death value that can be squeezed is always more than the average...

Xu Turan thought silently, completely unaware that his description of death value had been upgraded from "fishing" to "squeezing".

There is no way, the previous three missions were too little. It was hard to squeeze out more than a hundred points, and she tried her best.

Anyway, Yang Buqi couldn't get in touch for the time being, and Xu Tuoran didn't think much about it. She bid farewell to the training teacher, wandered alone in the building, unconsciously walked to the floor where Yang Buqi's office was, and suddenly heard a knock on the door.

She went over to look curiously, and saw a girl in red clothes standing in Yang Buqi's office and knocking on the door gently.

Xu Tueran observed quietly for a few seconds, then kindly said, "He's not here."

The girl said "ah", turned to look at her, and scratched her face in embarrassment: "That's it. Then when will he come back?"

"I don't know. I went to another place." Xu Tuoran said, "Do you have something urgent to do with him?"

"It's not urgent." The girl was even more embarrassed, "The coffee machine in the pantry is broken, I would like to ask if I can rub Team Yang's..."

When Yang Buqi went to Xu Tuoran's house to take care of her, he once used her coffee machine, which was amazing. After I came back, I put the same money in my office. The price of this coffee machine is not cheap, and the quality is really good. It aroused envy for a while, so Yang Buqi simply told the group directly, and just borrowed it if he needed it.

It's a pity that this girl came at an unfortunate time, just in time for him to go on a business trip.

Xu Tuoran let out an "oh", turned and left. After walking a few steps, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and the girl in red followed her again.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhu. Zhu Tang." The girl said, "Well, your name is Xu Tuoran, right? I noticed you before."

Xu Tueran took a deep look at her, hummed, and greeted her casually.

The girl, surnamed Zhu—she remembered what Pu Han told her before, the girl who was also "chaotic" and "beast".

And not only did she pay attention to Xu Tuoran, Xu Tuoran actually paid attention to her—the small desserts and milk tea in the canteen inside the Tzu Chi Institute are very good, Xu Tuoran sometimes goes to buy some after the training class is over. There were a few times when I ran into meal times, and I happened to see this girl eating with her friends in the cafeteria.

Every time, their eyes would stay on themselves for a long time. With excellent hearing, Xu Tuoran can always hear some of their whispers.

"It's her... Recently, she has been very close to Yang Buqi..."

"...also a princess...Yang Buqi...very competitive..."

"I have to think of a way... to strike first, to grab it..."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

For some reason, I always felt like I was involved in some trouble. She glanced at the girl next to her again, and just as she was about to say goodbye, Zhu Tang preemptively said, "Today there are blueberry waffles and kumquat lemon tea in the cafeteria, do you want to go and see them?"

Xu Tuoran paused and looked over suspiciously. Zhu Tang's smile froze for a moment: "Those are the star dishes of the restaurant, I guess you might like them."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

She thought for a while, took the initiative to walk in the corridor, and beckoned to Zhu Tang again. Zhu Tang looked left and right, and walked over without knowing why: "What?"

"It's nothing. I want to chat with you first." Xu Tuoran said directly, slowly crossing his arms.

"I'm not one of those people who likes to put things off until dinnertime. And as you said, the blueberry waffles sell out easily. So let's do this quick, okay?"

She smiled at Zhu Tang without any malice: "You and your two little friends have been staring at me for at least three days. Not only in the cafeteria, but I also saw you wandering outside after the training class..."

"Please tell me what exactly you want to do, okay?"

Zhu Tang: "..."

Xu Tuoran tilted his head patiently and well: "Why, is it convenient to say?"

"...not really." Zhu Tang scratched his hair, fell silent for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly, "I originally planned and planned step by step. But when you came here suddenly, you turned your back on the customer." It's... I can't fix it a little..."

Xu Tuoran: "?"

"It's just... a little hard to say..." Zhu Tang closed his eyes for a moment and thought about it, then exhaled, "Forget it, I'll just ask."

"You and Yang Buqi, is the current relationship fixed?"

Xu Tuoran: "..."

She looked at Zhu Tang inexplicably, and just about to speak, the other party hastily added: "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the old bringing the new."

"I know you're talking about the old bringing the new." Xu Tuoran was even more puzzled, "No. What's wrong?"

Zhu Tang: "There is no agreement, is there?"

Xu Tuoran frowned and looked at her: "No."

"That's good." Zhu Tang felt relieved, "Okay, then I'll just say it—well, aren't you Snow White?"

Xu Tuoran: "...?"

"And our side—just the two little friends you saw earlier. Their qualities are Rapunzel and Fairy Godmother respectively. One of them tends to be candle-level."

Xu Tuoran: "...??"

"We actually want to form a team with a fixed theme. We've already decided on the name of the team, and it's called 'Fairy Tale Town'." Zhu Tang said solemnly, "I just want to ask, are you... interested?"

Xu Tuoran: "...???"

"Wait, let me stroke." She raised her hand and closed her eyes, "So you...are you trying to take me as an accomplice?"

"Being companions." Zhu Tang corrected seriously, "We are decent, we can't use such strange words—but it means what you think."

Xu Tuoran was almost amused: "Just because I have the quality of 'Snow White'?"

"Not all of them." Zhu Tang smiled, "I actually met you before you joined the Charity Institute."

"?"

"I followed up on the incident at the suburban homestay." Zhu Tang said seriously, "I saw you when your companion carried you out of the homestay. It's just that you were unconscious at that time."

In fact, later Yang Buqi used props to trace back the situation in the "domain" in the homestay, and he was very impressed with Xu Tuoran at that time. Later, I found out that she also came to the Tzu Chi Institute for training, and her quality happened to be that of a very fairy-tale "Snow White".

"..." Xu Tuoran looked at her with a complicated expression, and didn't know what expression to put on for a while, "Then why do you ask Yang Buqi first when you come up?"

"I think you two have always been together in the past, I'm afraid you two have already tied up." Zhu Tang said helplessly, "Yang Buqi's rank and position are higher than ours. Obviously, it takes courage to rob someone with him."

Xu Tuoran: ...It's the first time I know that I'm so popular after living so long.

She thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice, "That is to say, there are three people in your group now, and four if you pull me..."

"It may be five." Zhu Tang immediately said, "There is another newcomer in the courtyard, whose quality is The Little Mermaid. We are also in touch."

...Are you forming a team, or are you running a theme park?

Xu Tuoran looked over delicately, unable to make up his mind on how to reply. Seeing her silence, Zhu Tang took the initiative and said, "Of course, you don't have to agree immediately. I have prepared a PPT. You can leave a contact information and I will send it to you later. You can think about it again."

After finishing speaking, he paused and said again: "Besides, I'm looking for my teammates anyway, not my father. When the time comes, we'll get to know each other and we can break up if we don't think it's suitable."

"I know you have a good relationship with Yang Buqi. But he is not here now. During this time, you can contact other parties first to see... Don't hang yourself on a tree. You can hang on a few more trees. Hang the rope on the tree."

Zhu Tang is persuasive and persuasive. Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows slightly, and said curiously: "Before this, I was more curious. What is your quality?"

Zhu Tang was still thinking of words, but he was startled when he heard the words: "Huh?"

"Your quality." Xu Tuoran said, "Aren't you from Fairy Tale Town? Which fairy tale character are you?"

Zhu Tang blinked, and his expression became relaxed: "What do you think?"

Xu Tuoran glanced at the red dress on her body, and asked uncertainly, "Little Red Riding Hood?"

"No." Zhu Tang rolled up his sleeves and showed her his wrist, which was covered with a layer of fine scales.

"You may not believe it when you tell me - I am a dragon!"

...?

"The western kind, the fire dragon. Although I can't breathe fire...but I can grow scales." Zhu Tang blinked, "The scales are resistant to high temperatures and sharp weapons. They are very useful. So don't think I'm not high-level, People often drag me to high-risk missions..."

Xu Tuoran paused and quickly caught the key word: "High risk?"

"Yeah." Zhu Tang nodded affirmatively, "But don't worry. If we successfully form a team, I will definitely consider the interests of the whole team and choose tasks that suit everyone as much as possible..."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

"It's not necessary." She said after a moment of silence.

Zhu Tang was startled: "? What do you mean?"

Xu Tuoran didn't answer in a hurry, but looked down at the scales on Zhu Tang's wrist with a pensive look on his face.

Another day later.

Yang Buqi connected the phone to the charger. As soon as I turned it on, I saw a lot of messages popping up one after another.

Floating on the top is a dirty word from Pu Han. Yang Buqi didn't know, so he opened the dialog box, the more he looked at it, the more inexplicable he became.

Pu Han:

【Yang Buqi, can you do it? I can't believe what I just saw! 】

[The bonded relationship from the very beginning, the lifelong friendship. Even if the bedding has been laid here, it can still make people dig into the wall. I really admire you. 】

[Sister-in-law is very disappointed in you! 】

【The above sentence was typed by Feifei. 】

[You really, think about it. I can't bear to talk about you. It's so pathetic. [Shaking head.JPG]]

Yang Buqi: ...?

? ? ! !

No, why am I pitiful? Although it's hard for me to come back from a business trip... But it's not pitiful, right?

Why is he "not able" again? What's all this mess? ?

Yang Buqi was at a loss. Xu Tuoran was sitting on the sofa in his office looking at his mobile phone, and raised his head when he heard the sound: "What's wrong?"

"...It's okay. Pu Han is on his nerves again." Yang Buqi shook his head, put his phone on silent, and put it on the table, "You continue. You just said, **** torch cultural shirt?"

"Yeah." Xu Tuoran nodded seriously, "I've been to that Taobao store for a few days to test it out. I can't ask anything from the customer service. Pu Han said, maybe you have to ask..."

"Okay." Yang Buqi nodded without hesitation, "I will find a way to ask someone to ask. If there is a result, I will give you an answer."

Xu Tuoran nodded, and hesitated a little: "However, I remember that you don't like that store very much, right? If you find this difficult..."

"There is nothing to embarrass. An ability user who can make a deal with Haunted House No. 71 must have dirty hands. We have the obligation to find him." Yang Buqi said with affirmation, "Besides, in this circle Here, it’s not all black and white. If you don’t like it, don’t touch it. That’s an immature approach. And..."

And it's important to you.

The second half of the sentence was silently swallowed back, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and handed a small silver square box to Xu Tuoran: "Here, Pu Han asked me to give it to you."

Last night, he just returned to the Tzu Chi Temple, when Pu Han came to the door and asked him to return the box to Xu Tuoran. That's why he invited Xu Turan over today, and he happened to ask about the information he missed when he was away a while ago.

Xu Tuoran took the box, lifted the lid and looked at the brush of the pen fairy lying flat inside, and quickly closed the lid again.

"Is Pu Han okay?" She asked, "I received a message last night, he said that he has a happy event and is going to retreat..."

Then lost contact.

Xu Tuoran was shocked on the spot, thinking that it was Yang Buqi who had completed a major upgrade of his life orientation, and by the way helped Pu Han's body structure to a higher level.

"...I suspect that what he wanted to say is 'happy event', and he just missed typing." Yang Buqi was speechless, "Don't think about it. The information I got is that he made progress in the upgrade two nights ago. Maybe you can hit the next level, so make some preparations in advance."

"Chen level?" Xu Tuoran was surprised, "So powerful?"

"I don't know the details. But it probably has something to do with the thing in your hand." Yang Buqi pointed to the silver box Xu Tuoran was holding, "Some high-level abominations, even if they just exist, can bring some Mysterious influence."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

She looked down at the box in her hand, and remembered what Pu Han said that day when she borrowed it—he said that he didn't know what he wanted to borrow the pen from the pen fairy, but Feifei asked him to borrow it.

From this point of view, the "benefits" that Feifei foresees brought by this pen are not just for herself.

And Feifei is only a "Hui" class, and she is still very unsound, and can foresee so many things... Then what if it is a more powerful predictor? How much can he foresee.

Xu vainly stroked the surface of the box, thinking in his eyes, and quickly suppressed it. She thanked Yang Buqi, got up and was about to leave, but was stopped again suddenly.

"That. There is one more thing I want to discuss with you." Yang Buqi paused, as if he hadn't figured out what to say next, "That's it, I don't know if your training teacher told you...just If you are just starting out, you may need some regular teammates, or teachers who bring out missions..."

"Oh, right?" Xu Tuoran nodded, "I heard what she said."

"Really? That's good." Yang Buqi looked away, "That's right, I think it's very important to have regular teammates with tacit understanding..."

"Well, I know." Xu Tuoran continued to nod, "I've already found a partner."

"As for regular teammates who know the basics, they are heavier... Wait, what?" Yang Buqi was startled, "Have you found it?"

Xu Tuoran nodded: "Zhu Tang said that she formed a group. I checked and found that the girls are all pretty good. There is a wide range of tasks that can be taken on, and their skills complement each other, so I agreed."

Yang Buqi opened his mouth slightly: "...Or a combination?"

"Well. There are four girls in total, maybe five. It seems quite interesting to say that we can form a small team called 'Fairy Tale Town'." Xu Tuoran said.

Yang Buqi: "..."

"Zhu Tang?" He recalled the name carefully, "I remember her. She also followed up on the homestay incident... When did you two meet?"

"Just yesterday. I passed by your office, and I happened to meet her to borrow a coffee machine. We chatted." Xu Tuoran said, "She is quite interesting, and she has scales. She looks weird." She also thought want.

Yang Buqi: "..."

Yang Buqi remained silent on the spot, not knowing what to say for a moment.

—He finally understood what the words that Pu Han sent just now meant?

But what can he do?

Xu Tuoran didn't want to disturb his rest, so he said hello and left. Yang Buqi was left alone, sitting at the desk and pondering for a long time, turned on his mobile phone to search for treasures, and silently placed another order.

Two days later, there was a brand new coffee machine in each tea room in the office building of the Tzu Chi Institute—it is said that it was all donated by Team Yang.

Of course, this is all for later.

On the other side, Xu Tuoran took back the pen of the pen fairy, without any hesitation, he went back to his residence in Xingxing Park.

She was alone in that room now. She prepared a room early on, with dense runes drawn on the floor and walls, and as soon as she got home, she took out the brush of the pen fairy and threw it in.

At the same time, there was also a blank book thrown in.

"I will show Yang Buqi everything written on it. One lie is one page, and there is no limit to it. You can figure it out yourself." She said leisurely, pulled a chair, and sat in the pen fairy. opposite of the pen.

"I'm still asking the same question as last time. What about your answer, have you figured out how to fool me?"

Pen Fairy's Pen:…

Surrounded by runes, it can't even float, so it can only crawl onto the blank notebook with fluff, and slowly write stroke by stroke: [I have the right to remain silent. 】

Xu Tuoran snorted: "Reminder, if you really don't want to cooperate, I can hand you over to Pu Han. You should know that he extracted the memory bead I saw last time from Haunted House No. 71." Bar?"

"Oh, but just to remind you, that bead can only be taken out when the abominable thing is completely sealed."

Noticing the momentary stiffness of the pen of the pen fairy, Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows slightly, took out a few high-level notebooks from the schoolbag next to him, and threw them beside it: "I'll give you another chance."

Pen Fairy's Pen: ...

Pen Fairy's Brush: 【I'll think about it again. 】

"I still have to think about it. Okay, then I'll help you recall it." Xu Tuoran leaned back on the chair back leisurely, "Do you still remember when we first met? I asked how you died, how about you?" , how did you answer me?"

The pen of the pen fairy froze for a moment, and slowly wrote in the notebook:

[You just died. 】

【Your whole family is dead. 】

Xu Tuoran didn't change his face: "My whole family is dead, how did this sentence come from?"

The Pen of the Pen Fairy: […]

【saw. 】It slowly wrote,【You are the only one in your account book. 】

The original adoptive brother moved out of their household registration when he became an adult. And her parents all died in an accident, which is not wrong.

Xu Turan smiled: "What about the previous sentence?"

"Your second sentence is based on what you 'saw'. What about the first sentence?"

Pen Fairy's Pen:…

The body of the red pen was instantly covered with a layer of fine fluff, and red ink seeped out from the tip of the pen unstoppably. Xu Tuoran looked at it coldly, becoming more and more sure of his guess.

Ever since she knew that Haunted House No. 71 was arranged by someone, she has been wondering whether the same is true for the Pen of the Immortal Pen.

Although from the perspective of the development of the incident, it was Feifei who first hinted that she would ask for a gift from Omniscience, and she did as she said, and she would only take it home if there was only this fairy pen in the Taobao store... But how did she know, this Isn't everything arranged by a more powerful existence?

Feifei can predict. Others can also predict her predictions. How could a bright-level abominable monster that once made troubles and hid in secrets appear in the warehouse of the Taobao store by such a coincidence? Did it really know nothing about her existence before it was taken by her?

What's more, the man who communicated with Haunted House No. 71 was wearing a T-shirt provided by the Taobao store—and the pen of the pen fairy appeared in the store's warehouse!

Xu Tuoran believes that there are coincidences in this world. But she was absolutely skeptical about this coincidence.

She pursed her lips, sat up straight, raised her voice slightly, and said, "Answer me."

"How did you come up with your first sentence?"

【…】

"Did someone else tell you?" Xu Tuoran continued to press. Words are instructive.

This time, the pen of the pen fairy finally responded again - it drew a tick on the paper.

Xu Tuoran's heart moved: "Who is it?"

The brush of the pen fairy is lying in the rune array, I don't know if it is Xu Tuoran's illusion, it seems to be trembling.

I don't know how long it took before I saw it moving on the paper, writing three words with difficulty: [Can't say. 】

Xu Tuoran:?

[There are constraints. 】

【can not say. 】

The pen of the pen fairy wrote.

Xu Turan: ...

"Okay, then I'll ask you another way." After a moment of silence, she said, "How did you get in touch with that person?"

The pen of the pen fairy: [….net. 】

...?

"Huh?" Xu Turan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean? Explain clearly?"

So the pen of the pen fairy wrote in more detail: [Penguin. 】

Xu Turan: ...

"No, wait... Qi..." She couldn't keep up with this development, "Where did you get the Internet?"

[Rub WiFi. 】Pen Fairy's pen paused every word, 【I picked up an elderly mobile phone before. If you rub the WiFi near the warehouse, you can use it. 】

Anyway, it is not difficult for it to read a WiFi password.

"..."

At this moment, Xu Turan didn't know whether he should lament the poor security of old man Jiang's warehouse, or lament the mental tenacity of this pen.

"That is to say, you used the Penguin to communicate with the outside world, and then you got in touch with someone, so you knew of my existence?" Xu Tuoran said casually, "Answer me, is that so?"

She knew that what she said was mostly speculation, and she wanted to rule out a wrong answer when she asked it. Unexpectedly, the pen of the pen fairy was stunned for a moment, and then drew another tick on the paper.

Xu Turan: ...

"What's your penguin number?" She paused, and said immediately, "And the password?"

That person had contacted this pen with the Penguin — if so, maybe some operations could be used to lock his existence.

Even if you can't, maybe you can find clues...

Xu Tuoran's heart skipped a beat. The pen was silent for a while, but said; [It's all gone. 】

[Has been sealed. 】

Xu Tuoran: ...?

? !

"Sealed?" She was confused, "Why?"

[I want to use the penguin colony to reconvene believers. 】Ben Fairy Zhibi said honestly, 【It was reported. 】

In fact, it was reported several times. There are at least two football teams in the blocked numbers.

Not only Penguin, but also many mailboxes have been blocked. When the management was not strict in the past few years, it could still board the next game and shout out on the world channel. Of course, it was almost blocked after shouting...

Xu Turan: ...

After a moment of silence, she put one hand on the armrest and raised her hand to rub her forehead.

To be honest, she had previously felt that this Immortal Pen's brush seemed a little... a little out of her wits, but she always believed that it was affected by her skills. The guy himself, may be quite witty and difficult to deal with...

That's why she made so many preparations before the interview. I read all the powerful runes in the book a few days ago, and I have drawn all the runes I can draw.

But now she realized that she probably thought too much.

This guy's mental retardation actually has nothing to do with her, really.
