Calm down, it's better not to ask. You are not someone who has never seen the world.
There are too many strange things in this world. Lady Cheng is the king of this mental hospital. It is not impossible that he has three giant flowers in his room.
In fact, if you look closely, you will find that these three flowers are very beautiful, with overlapping petals and a gradient color. The outermost layer is light pink, and then it gets redder as it goes deeper. If it were put in a competition before the end of the world, it might even win a few prizes. However, no matter how beautiful or cute something is, once it becomes huge, it will no longer be beautiful and cute, but scary.
Ning Buwen didn't dare to get too close. Instead, he took out the blessing from the water god and prepared to leave immediately after watering the flowers.
It always feels weird here, a little scary.
Just when Ning Buwen was about to use the prop card, the three huge flowers in front of him suddenly began to drop petals.
A petal fell and almost covered Ning Buwen completely.
What... what's going on
Ning Bu Wen didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly used the prop card to water the flowers.
When the prop card was used, it turned into a vague image of a female water goddess, who blew gently toward the roots of the three flowers, and immediately water flowed into the roots of the flowers.
That should be fine.
Ning Bu Wen raised his head and was hit by a petal.
The rich aroma almost suffocated him.
It's strange, I didn't feel how fragrant this flower was just now.
Ning Buwen crawled out from the pile of petals and saw that the three flowers were bare. Even if he didn't understand the characteristics of these plants, he knew that the flowers were dead.
There are only branches and leaves, no flowers.
The petals are all over the ground.
If Lady Cheng came out of the game and saw his flower turned into this, his fate would be...
As Ning Buwen was thinking about it, he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly ran towards the security office.
As the saying goes, if the law does not hold everyone responsible, then the people in the Security Department must also be responsible, they must know something.
People from the security department are getting together to play mahjong.
"Very good, I'll play by myself..." The security captain was about to push the mahjong tiles in front of him when he saw Ning Buwen running over in a hurry.
"Brother, have you watered the flowers?"
"Haha, don't panic, that flower is very well behaved. Apart from being a little tall, it has no other problems and it doesn't eat people."
"Would you like to play with us? We'll give you a prop card!"
…
"That flower, ahem, that flower has withered, and it keeps dropping petals. Now there's only a stem left." Ning Buwen simply stated the problem, "It became like this after I watered it. Excuse me, this should be normal, right?"
Pah.
The security captain crushed the mahjong in his hand into powder.
"Let me make it clear first, I didn't do anything. I didn't even touch it." Ning Buwen immediately took himself out. "You have been working as security here. You should be the ones taking care of the flower."
"Let's go check it out first."
"Stop hitting me."
…
Ning Buwen and the security team looked up at the three bare flowers, as if looking at them would make them grow buds again.
Ning Buwen waited until he felt his neck starting to hurt before he spoke up to break the silence in the room.
"Third brother, don't you like to grow some flowers and plants? Come and take a look, can these flowers be saved?" The captain directly called out a brother and pointed at the three flowers and asked.
"Old, eldest brother... All the petals have fallen off. It doesn't look good." The third brother shrank his head and stammered, "I think it would be better to just change it."
"Haha, we have replaced the king's flowers, and when he comes back he can replace the heads on our necks as well." The captain rolled his eyes and almost flew to the sky. "Tell me, what can we do?"
"Boss, why don't we catch this guy? When the boss comes back, we can just push the blame on him." One of the younger brothers raised his hand and looked at Ning Bu Wen with a fierce look in his eyes.
This proposal is damn tempting.
It's really a changing world, everyone has the same idea.
"If that's the case, I'll take you with me if I die." Ning Buwen said calmly, "Do you want to give it a try?"
"What a bad idea!" The captain stepped forward at the right time to stop the team members from continuing, "The king won't care about us if he goes crazy. Now we should think of a way to revive this flower!"
"Boss, how can we save them? Why don't we hide in Pandora? No matter how powerful the king is, he can't find us among thousands of copies."
"… Didn't Pandora die faster? We are already at such a high level. I almost died in the last instance. If I hadn't split myself in two in advance, the grass on my grave would be several meters high now."
…
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Ning Buwen finally realized that these guys were actually not very reliable.
No, it should be said that he should have realized this earlier.
"This flower is so big, it is definitely not an Earth species. Maybe it was brought from Pandora. Do you want to find those people with special physiques who can control plants and ask them to come and help?" Ning Bu Wen proposed a solution.
"Oh, yes, this method is worth a try."
"Haha, I forgot about this in my rush."
"Who among us can control plants?"
As soon as this question came up, everyone fell silent.
"Let's go to the mission hall to post the mission." Ning Buwen sighed, "By the way, how much money do you have?"
"Not much, maybe 20 or 30 million."
“I’ve eaten all my money.”
"I think I still have three thousand dollars, boss."
"I probably have a little over a million left."
"Boss, how do you have so much money?"
…
In the end, they scraped together 16 million.
"Are you sure you want me to take the money and submit the task? Aren't you afraid that I will run away with your money?" Ning Bu Wen finally asked this question.
The people from the security team refused to go to the mission hall no matter what, so the job of submitting the mission and finding the plant controller had to be left to Ning Buwen.
"Don't be afraid. If you run away, we will be more at ease." The captain said sincerely, "This way, when the king comes out, you can attract all the firepower."
When the security captain said this, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
What else can I say if I don’t ask
"Please describe the requirements of the task in detail. It is best to indicate the appearance and type of the plant you want to treat, so that we can find someone who meets your requirements as quickly as possible." The lady at the counter provided excellent service to Ning Buwen, and the people around him also looked at Ning Buwen.
Ning Buwen, as a newcomer who unlocked his personal physique and obtained three B-level item cards the first time he completed the game, has replaced Mo Xiaoyou to become the most popular newcomer in just a few days.
However, Ning Buwen is different from Mo Xiaoyou. There is very little information about him, as if he appeared out of thin air. This makes many people believe that he might be a relative of some large legion, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be so powerful right away.
This is also one of the benefits of joining the legion.
As long as someone in the family joins the legion, the family members of the legion members can also undergo some simple training to prevent the family members of the legion from accidentally entering the game and dying, which would affect the legion members' worry and their ability to pass the levels.
"Well, I've finished writing it." Ning Buwen quickly input the requirements and bonus, "Will this task be automatically sent to the phones of those who control the plants?"
"Yes." The lady at the counter affirmed, "If someone is willing to take the job, they will reply immediately and go back with you. By the way, Mr. Ning, two legions have already sent you invitations to join. Would you like to take a look?"
"Which two?"
"Eleven and Nine."
Because Ning Buwen had achieved considerable success in his first attempt, and because of the outstanding calculation and reasoning abilities he had demonstrated before the end of the world, he was directly targeted by the upper legions. The lower legions knew they could not compete with him, so they simply stopped sending invitations.
"Well, I'll think about it, but right now it's more important to find someone to complete the task I need." Ning Bu Wen replied with a smile.
"The message has been sent, please wait a few minutes."
At the same time, all the Pandora players who controlled plants but failed to pass the level in the forty-nine bases received mission emails.
Some people set a task amount, while others do not. It mainly depends on what the requirements for the task are.
"A bounty of 16 million is a big deal."
"Let me see. A healing plant? Twenty meters tall and six meters wide? What the hell is this plant?"
"… From this description, it sounds like those demonic plants."
"Pfft, are you kidding me? The price of a demonized plant starts at 50 million. This is just a newbie giving out random tasks."
"No. 111 Changjiang Road, what is this place? The headquarters of the First Legion?"
…
In a certain army.
"Cousin, look at this guy, it's really funny. He only gave 16 million for such a huge demonized plant. Hahaha, different trades are like different mountains. There are always some players who like to bring out strange plants from the game, and then they don't know how they died." A young man said to his cousin at the dinner table, "Cousin, please help me ask the legion's enrollment requirements before..."
"Your special physique is suitable for the Sixteenth Legion." The man called cousin replied casually, "There are many people with similar physiques as you there."
"Cousin, don't you still have a spot for invitation to join the group?"
"I am just a small captain of the legion. I don't have the ability to help you. Your performance in the last dungeon was not good enough. I can't protect you if you rush in. The dungeon we conquered is at least several times more difficult than the one you conquered. Can you survive?"
The young man fell silent.
“By the way, let me take a look at the task you just mentioned.” The cousin also felt that what he said just now was a bit harsh, so he had to change the subject. After all, his cousin was his only relative.
"It's only a reward of 10 million." The man shrugged. "Cousin, your worth is much more than that. Here, look, this one at No. 111 Changjiang Road?"
Boom.
The chopsticks in my cousin's hand fell on the table.
"No. 111 Changjiang Road?" My cousin's voice immediately became louder, changing his previous calmness. "You are not wrong?"
"Cousin, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. This is the place. The requirement is to treat three large plants that are 20 meters tall... Hey, hey, cousin, you haven't finished your meal yet! Tsk, cousin, no matter how rich you are, you can't use the teleportation card casually. It's very expensive." Before the man finished speaking, his cousin had disappeared without a trace.
"Are the people in the Second Legion so rich? Why would you need to spend millions of dollars on a teleportation card to take on a 10 million dollar bounty mission?"
Ning Buwen waited in the mission hall for more than ten minutes but received no response.
No one answered the phone, how is that possible!
"Well, maybe your task description is not accurate enough." The girl at the counter showed a professional smile, "Maybe the plant controllers are not available at the moment, please wait a little longer."
"No, it's probably because the reward I offered is too low." Ning Bu Wen actually had already figured out the crux of the problem. No matter how you looked at it, that plant could not be saved with such a small amount of money.
Damn it, if I had known this I would not have paid the money back and would have dealt with it this time first.
"If you add one more reward, I can help people pass the level for free." Ning Bu Wen was ready to increase the reward for the task, which might be more attractive.
By using certain special prop cards, you can make yourself and a specific person appear in the same copy. Many teams in the legion do this. Having enough companions can make the clearance smoother and reduce the difficulty.
"Are you the one who issued the mission?"
The light of the transmission prop card lit up outside the door of the mission hall, and a thin man with a gentle appearance walked straight towards Ning Buwen, "No. 111 Changjiang Road, this is the mission you sent."
"It's me." Ning Bu Wen nodded, and was a little stunned when he saw the red star badge on the man's chest.
Why are the people from the Second Legion here
"I've accepted your mission. Let's go now." After saying that, he directly pulled Ning Buwen and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The lady at the counter blinked and was stunned for a while before she realized, "So Mr. Ning was chosen by the Second Legion? Isn't it said that the Second Legion is harder to get into than the First Legion?"
Ning Bu Wen was directly teleported to the hospital entrance by this elite of the Second Legion who appeared out of nowhere.
"Then where is the flower? Hurry up." Elite looked more anxious than Ning Buwen.
"Wait, let me go talk to the people in the security department first." Ning Buwen couldn't figure out for a moment whether this person was here to help or to seek revenge, so he decided to talk to the people in the security department first.
"Brother, go ahead. These are the people from the Second Legion, that's right." The security captain appeared out of nowhere and waved at Ning Buwen, "Come on, our lives are in your hands."
What
Aren't you guys too skilled at passing the buck
Ning Bu Wen was completely confused, but he still took this inexplicable person to Ward 001.
"It's this Tyrant Flower." Elite looked at the petals scattered all over the floor, took out a handful of strange things from his arms and sprinkled them on the roots. The black particles were instantly swept away by the vines that appeared from nowhere. Soon, buds appeared on the bare flower head.
"This... What is going on?" Ning Buwen felt that he might never understand these plants in his entire life.
"I just sprinkled some seeds of demonized plants. As demonized plants, they only eat seeds of their own kind and fresh flesh and blood. This is called 'watering.'" The elite was also relieved. "Flowers are just organs used by these demonized plants to lure prey, so when it is extremely hungry, it will discard these useless things to save nutrients. If it had come a few days later, it would have hunted indiscriminately to maintain its own life. Fortunately, it has been well trained and does not dare to eat humans casually."
Ning Buwen felt a little guilty. He could have come earlier, but once he started playing, he forgot about it.
Then again, Lady Cheng didn't explain clearly, who knows what this watering means? But think about it, he himself is not clear-headed, it is really unrealistic to expect him to explain clearly.
What else can we do except admit defeat
"Thank you. If it weren't for your help, we might have become its food."
"I'm doing this for my own good. If this Amazon Prime is really dead, that lunatic Cheng Yuxue will cause trouble for us again. If my colleagues in the No. 1 Legion hadn't gone on a mission, I wouldn't have come here." Elite sighed, feeling a little scared.
"Well... um, the Cheng Yuxue you mentioned is the king here?" Ning Buwen felt a little dizzy when he heard the name.
"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have come." The man looked at Ning Buwen in confusion, "Cheng Yuxue lives at 111 Changjiang Road. Only a few people in the top three legions know about this. His every move is the focus of our surveillance. Otherwise, we won't be able to resist him if he goes crazy."
Ning Buwen suddenly felt his legs go weak and he had to hold onto the wall to avoid losing control.
"You didn't know it was him, did you?" The man saw Ning Buwen's expression and immediately understood. "That's right. His appearance has never been made public. It's normal that you didn't think it was him for a while."
Among all Pandora players, there is a world-recognized ranking list, which only ranks the top one thousand. These one thousand players almost all belong to the world's top legions and are the most important hope for mankind to redeem the earth. People can maintain their current lives almost entirely due to the efforts of these players.
But there are always some people who wander outside the major legions.
Among them, there is one person who is the most special and is known as the most crazy player.
When he first appeared on the list of 1,000 players, he was ranked 201st. It is said that he did not like his ranking, so he used an SS item to put all the 100 players ahead of him into the same game copy.
The difficulty of that dungeon was unprecedentedly high. The remaining players are still struggling in that dungeon waiting to pass it. However, Cheng Yuxue, who stepped on these one hundred people to get to the top and received generous rewards, directly jumped to the eighth place in the world.
The rapid rise in ranking is still a world record.
No, it's not...
Why should such a sick person be released to harm innocent people like him
He is just living a new life.
Therefore, Ning Buwen never thought of Lady Cheng in the direction of Cheng Yuxue.
The probability is as unrealistic as winning 1 billion by picking up a lottery ticket on the street.
"His original name was Cheng Yuxue, but he changed it to Cheng Yuxue because he didn't like the name. In short, this lunatic is a time bomb. He was already a classic case in the medical field before the end of the world. He was a complete patient. Don't provoke him if you can." The man patted Ning Buwen's shoulder and understood him very well. "It's okay. You can leave after watering the plants. Don't worry. He has no interest in ordinary people."
I would rather not ask than cry.
"So... what happened to the person who once liked him?"
The man's face was filled with horror, and his finger pointing at Ning Buyen began to tremble, "You...you said you like him in front of him?"
Ning Buwen really didn't want to nod, so he found an excuse for himself, "Actually, I didn't say anything, but he saw it."
"Warrior, would you like to join the No. 2 Legion?" The man looked at Ning Buwen with admiration. "The title of the No. 1 Legion has been changed three times, but our No. 2 Legion has always been the second. The purpose of our group is to enjoy the same benefits as the No. 1 Legion. All the blame will be passed to the No. 1 Legion. The welfare benefits are definitely the best among the legions."
The man thought for a moment and added, "There are only a few unlucky people like you in the world. Our group leader likes to collect strange people. You can definitely get in."
After hearing him say that, I didn't want to go in at all.
"After you come in, at least if Cheng Yuxue is interested in you again one day, we can still help you. At least we can collect your body."
"Okay, do you want me to fill out a form?"
