Li Cheng, lying on a car repair creeper, tightened the chassis screws with a wrench, wiped the slight sweat from his forehead, and slid out from under the car.
Lately, he had been busy with a few things.
First, he had tasked Zhangsun Yao with finding a repair shop called [Torch Tree] and spent one thousand Ga Coins to refurbish his own [Nuclear Energy Lighter].
The newly refurbished nuclear energy lighter was refilled with fuel and ca with a [Unable to Repair Again] note, aning it could still be used for another round.
Generally, fine quality items are priced between two thousand and three thousand.
The thousand coins spent on repair seed worthwhile.
The second matter was searching for suitable insect species.
The Liangyi Blade not only addressed the threat of the Insect Lord Demon infection but also transford it all into combat power.
As Li Cheng’s life strength gradually increased, incorporating new genes also ca into the plan.
The third matter was to continue researching chanical Master skills.
There were no shortcuts here, purely relying on practical experience accumulation.
For this, Li Cheng bought heaps of ho appliances, CNC lathes, construction machinery, and both fuel and electric vehicles, disassembling and assembling them—feeling like he might upgrade his chanical Master profession to the next level soon.
In a corner of the warehouse, Gray Rain, who had paused her car repair sounds, quickly locked her phone screen, hid it under a pencil case, and pretended to continue writing her Chinese howork.
Li Cheng drank so electrolyte water and ca over to glance at the desk.
Topic:
Diligent Xiaoli urges her deskmate Xiaoming to listen carefully in class, but Xiaoming says, “Studying is for making money, and my family owns dozens of properties for rent, so why should I still study?”
Question: What might happen in the future?
Feeling the pressure of Li Cheng watching from behind, Gray Rain bit on her chanical pencil tip and, struck with inspiration, wrote:
“Years later, facing this deskmate and now-husband, Xiaoli will recall the afternoon she urged him to study.”
???
Li Cheng’s face darkened, and he gave Gray Rain a playful chop on the head, “Are you writing One Hundred Years of Solitude here?”
“What’s One Hundred Years of Solitude?”
Gray Rain rubbed her head, her face displaying a purity untainted by knowledge, almost naively adorable, missing only a “Can it be eaten?” to complete the mischief.
In fact, Li Cheng paid such close attention to Gray Rain’s studies, coaxing, deceiving, motivating, and urging her to study mainly for two reasons.
One, mastering knowledge indeed helps increase survival chances in the killing fields,
Two, he firmly believed that living and learning till old age, continuously studying and deepening understanding of the world, was what truly gave aning to life.
Otherwise, she might end up like the young people “cultivated” by Arican happy-go-lucky education, who spend their days flying kites, partying, and discussing the woke culture of lgbtqiapkdx, without knowing how to do anything else.
Speaking of which, Gray Rain’s 256GB brain capacity did seem a bit low.
Maybe another trip to the shabby street?
To check if there were any floppy disks, portable hard drives, or solid-state drives that could help boost a robot’s brain capacity.
While pondering, a system prompt sound abruptly rang out.
Checking the ti, it was indeed ti for a task.
[Task Type: Script Task (Solo)]
[Task Na: Flying Over the Cuckoo’s Nest]
[Task Objective: At 12:00 noon, wear protective goggles and wait for teleportation]
[Task Ti Limit: None]
[Task Reward: None]
[Task Penalty: Permanent stay in script world]
Another solo script task.
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, both the na of Flying Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and the punishnt of a permanent stay in the script world revealed a stark malice.
One could wonder if this damn system had eaten too many spicy peppers lately, suffering from severe constipation, hence the need to take it out on the players.
“Anyway, with the Ergency Escape Card as a backup, no harm in giving it a try.”
Li Cheng rubbed his palms, made so preparations with Gray Rain, put on goggles, and stood in the living room waiting for teleportation.
Three, two, one.
As the living room clock’s second hand hit zero, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.
White.
Everywhere he looked was white.
In a three by three ter square room, the walls, floors, and even the ceiling were wrapped in white, padded materials.
This kind of wrapping is common in interrogation rooms and detention observation rooms, mainly to prevent the person being interrogated from injuring themselves by hitting walls or the floor.
Additionally, the padding has so soundproofing abilities to reduce the noise of dreadful screams or cries from adjacent rooms, lowering the psychological stress of the person being interrogated.
As for Li Cheng himself…
At this mont, he was wearing a white restraint suit, curling up his body, lying in a corner of the room.
This restraint suit was a size larger than his body, made of tough thick cloth, covered with buttons and belts, securing Li Cheng’s hands firmly in front of him, and his legs tied together, completely immobilizing him.
Furthermore, his mouth was sealed with strong adhesive tape, and he wore a white hood, only able to see the outside world through two small holes.
Overall, he looked strikingly like Hannibal in “Silence of the Lambs.”
“My god, what a hellish start.
Was it necessary to guard this thoroughly?
Even a deranged gunman who assassinated the president of the United States wouldn’t be treated like this.”
Li Cheng’s eyes widened, unable to resist complaining.
Because his mouth was sealed with strong tape, he could only make whimpering noises.
[Task Objective Phase 2: Explore the hospital, stay alive]
[Task Ti Limit: 5 hours]
[Task Reward 1: 1300 Experience Points]
[Task Reward 2: 1800 Ga Coins]
[Task Reward 3: Random Skill Scroll*1, Quality depends on the evaluation of completion]
[Task Reward 4: VIP Experience Card for the Mall*1]
[Task Penalty: Permanent confinent to the script world]
Well, good grief.
Li Cheng’s expression beca particularly vivid.
There are two types of mall systems for players, one is the public mall visible to all players, refreshing fifty kinds of items daily.
The other is a personal mall for each player, refreshing fifteen items daily.
Due to the presence of backstreets, players can barter among themselves at lower prices, which has reduced the prominence of the mall system compared to when the Slaughter Field Ga first launched.
But the VIP Experience Card for the mall is different.
Like the Ergency Escape Card, it’s a special item directly issued by the Slaughter Field system.
The latter allows players to imdiately withdraw from the task,
while the forr can instantly refresh the player’s personal mall, directly bringing out 15 fine-quality items at a discount of at least 30-20%.
In other words, even if there are no items players need directly on the shelf, one can use the price advantage to buy them all and then sell them in the backstreet auction house, easily earning over 4000 ga coins per shift.
It’s purely a giveaway of money to the players.
However, one of the covert rules of Slaughter Field is that the rewards and risks of a task are directly proportional.
Such generous rewards also indicate the perverse difficulty of this task.
[Task briefing sent]
[Saint Elizabeth Psychiatric Hospital is a specialized psychiatric hospital located in New England Town, comprised of an experienced dical team of senior doctors, nurses, and other professionals dedicated to providing the best service, reputable across the United States]
[But beneath the flowers, there are weeds.
So patients who have recovered from the hospital and returned to society accuse the hospital’s dical staff of controlling patients with drugs, and physically and psychologically abusing the non-compliant patients]
[There are even rumors that the hospital conducts so unethical dical experints in private…]
[As a patient under strict supervision by the new director, you need to escape first to achieve your unspeakable goals]
[Good luck]
“WTF…”
Li Cheng took a deep breath through his nose, if his mouth wasn’t sealed, he would have started cursing.
Yet, what troubled him even more was yet to co.
[In this task, players are in full role-play mode, no Attribute Enhancent, unable to use skills or skill scrolls except for title skills, no access to item inventory, unable to use equipnt items]
