Ning Buwen walked out of the legion’s base and saw the message on his mobile phone.
The money from the card that I asked someone to resell last time has arrived and has been sent to the creditor.
The creditor sent him a message, asking him to meet, yes/no.
Ning Buwen nodded on the word "yes".
As soon as Ning Buwen's finger moved away from the screen, the scene changed.
This is an antique castle.
The castle is not big, but it has everything you need.
The lawn was planted with bright red roses, a color so red that it made people feel a little uneasy.
A milky white pigeon landed on the open space in front of the rose garden, pecking at the corn kernels on the ground again and again.
This is a different space.
Among the abilities produced by Pandora, the different space is either an S+ level item card, or a personal physique in the time and space subcategory of the special category that has almost only been seen in legends.
But no matter which possibility it is, it means that the creditor is extraordinary.
Perhaps in the ranking of Pandora game, his ranking is even higher than Cheng Yuxue.
No matter how many times he has seen it, Ning Buwen is still surprised every time he comes here.
He once wanted to enter Pandora because he wanted to know that the ability of his creditor must come from Pandora, but he could not get any information about the creditor from anywhere.
The more powerful the Pandora player is, the less news there is about him and the more mysterious he is.
Ning Bu Wen comes here almost every year.
"No, no, have you joined Pandora?" A crow on the castle saw him coming and asked.
In the past, when Ning didn’t ask, he always said “No.”
"Joined." Ning Bu Wen replied.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
The crow spread its wings and led the way in front of Ning Buwen, "The master is waiting for you."
Ning Bu Wen nodded slightly and followed the crow into the castle.
The route in the castle changes every time. Ning Buwen tried hard to memorize it, but after he finally memorized it, the scene and route in the castle would change again next time.
After so many times, Ning just gave up without asking.
"The master is waiting for you inside."
Ning Buwen glanced at the crow, and the crow turned and flew away, refusing to go in and accompany him.
Hey, how can a bird be loyal
Ning Buwen had no choice but to push the door open. When he saw the creditor sitting inside, his scalp suddenly went numb.
This is a study room.
This has never changed.
Some of the books in the study were ones that Ning Buwen had heard of, but many more were ones he had never heard of. Some of the texts in the books were also particularly unique and he could not understand them at all.
Sitting at the desk reading a book is a man dressed in very old-fashioned clothes.
The man was in his thirties or forties, maybe fifties or sixties.
Or maybe, he has lived for many years.
It’s better not to ask because you can’t guess the other person’s age.
After all, the other party has been like this since before the end of the world.
This is also the reason why Ning Bu Wen accepted Liang Fei's statement without any doubt when he said that the end of the world might last more than three years.
Because he himself met a creditor with this special ability just before the end of the world.
Ning Buwen never loses at the gambling table as long as the other party is still human.
But if the opponent has far surpassed human capabilities, then it is only natural that he will lose.
"Boss." Ning Buwen perfectly expressed the helplessness of a debtor, "It's not even halfway through the year yet, and I've already paid back most of the interest."
"Sit down." The creditor put down the book in his hand, revealing a slightly handsome face full of stories.
Even if Ning Buwen didn't ask, he actually felt that this face was quite familiar.
In Las Vegas before the end of the world, he was the biggest boss of the underground casino. Ning Buwen met him when he won the championship.
"You have joined the Second Legion." The boss used a declarative sentence.
"Yes." Ning Buwen sat down with him face to face and answered, "My savings before the end of the world have been completely used up. Apart from Pandora and the Legion, I can't afford to pay such a huge interest."
"The commander of the Second Legion is also quite interesting." The boss smiled slightly. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were very shallow, but they were still a little obvious when he smiled.
cough.
The creditor spoke of his own leader as if he were a junior.
Ning Buwen felt that he really had no hope of defaulting on his debt.
"You seem a little disappointed." The boss glanced at Ning Buwen, and had already seen through his little thoughts very accurately, "Are you disappointed that you can't default on my debt?"
"How could that be?" Ning Buwen certainly couldn't admit it, "I'm willing to admit defeat."
"You have seen the Judge, so you should know that the bet on you is fair." The boss didn't mind Ning Buwen's slight complaints. After all, one hundred million yuan in interest a year is not a small amount for anyone, especially in today's world where the economy has completely collapsed.
"Boss, did you come to me specifically to talk to me about this?" Ning Buwen quickly changed the subject, "I have joined Pandora for a while."
"No." The boss shook his head slowly, "I just found out that you moved into No. 111 Changjiang Road."
"Do you know Cheng Yuxue?" Ning Buwen was stunned for a moment, not even able to hide the surprise on his face.
They actually know each other
"To be precise, I once wanted to take a gamble with him." The boss looked at Ning Buwen and said, "But unfortunately, a mentally ill person would not agree to such a normal request of mine."
They were almost brothers in distress.
Ning Buwen still has a little regret in his heart.
"Your ability is very interesting." The boss continued, "In fact, you can use your dice to tell me in front of me whether what I said is true?"
…In fact, I have already divined it.
Ning Bu Wen was a little depressed, because what the boss said was true and it was annoying.
"I'm just giving you a piece of advice." The boss paused. "Not many people owe me money, and you're the one who can pay it back the most. So, you can't tell anyone about my existence, including your captain. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards the legion, but if Cheng Yuxue wants to ask, it can be considered an exception."
Cheng Yuxue is really prestigious.
"In today's world, there is no such thing as coincidence." The boss looked at Ning Buwen and smiled meaningfully, "Everything is predestined."
"I'm sorry, boss, I don't believe in fate." Ning Buwen said, "If it was fate, I wouldn't have to bear such a huge interest."
“…That’s right.” The boss looked at Ning Buwen for a while and agreed with him. “That’s all I want to say for now. Also, work hard. You still owe me 40 million.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Buwen appeared again where he had originally stood.
The streets were still crowded with people, and it seemed that no one had noticed that he had left.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, I was just daydreaming for a moment.
"I still owe 40 million..." Ning Bu Wen muttered to himself while looking at his mobile phone.
"You owe quite a lot of debt." A head came over, saw the message on his phone clearly, and said lightly, "Do you want me to lend you money to pay it back?"
Ning Bu Wen was startled by the familiar voice.
"Why are you here?"
Who else except the psychopath Cheng Yuxue would be so leisurely as to suddenly show up and scare him
Ning Bu Wen calmly put away his phone.
"I had a dream yesterday. I dreamt of a lion crying, and that's when I came here." Cheng Yuxue blinked, "My intuition is pretty accurate."
"Haha." Ning Buwen wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back. "Then Boss, you continue to look for the lion. I have something else to do."
"Wait." Cheng Yuxue held Ning Buwen's shoulder. Ning Buwen couldn't leave even if he wanted to. "I haven't eaten yet. I'm hungry."
What does your hunger have to do with me
Ning Buwen really wanted to roar this, but when he turned around and saw Cheng Yuxue telling him that he was hungry with such an innocent face, Ning Buwen's originally strong defense fell to pieces.
He said he was hungry.
Someone like Cheng Yuxue definitely can't cook for himself.
"What do you like to eat?" When Ning Buwen asked this question, he wanted to slap himself.
You are so soft-hearted. You should feel sorry for yourself.
"I want to eat double skin milk." Cheng Yuxue answered without hesitation.
Nowadays, it’s good enough to have something to eat. Who would sell such a luxurious thing as double skin milk
Also, why did Cheng Yuxue come to ask him this question on purpose? He clearly hadn't told anyone else about it.
"Sorry, we don't have this store in our legion base." Ning Bu Wen said with a cold expression.
"But you can make it." Cheng Yuxue said seriously, "I asked the magic mirror and it said you can make Shuangpi Nai."
Prop cards like the Magic Mirror sound very rare and expensive. Why don't you ask a different question? Why not ask who can make double skin milk
Ning Buwen didn't know for a moment whether he should scold the rich man for his dog or scold him for being shameful in his waste.
"I have asked someone to buy the materials and put them in your room." Cheng Yuxue continued to laugh, "If I am full and in a good mood, I might answer a few of your questions. Well, how about we exchange questions one on one? I ask one, and you ask one, how about that?"
…
"Let's go." Ning Buwen sighed, "I'll go back and make you double skin milk."
Making double skin milk is actually not that troublesome. The main issue lies in the freshness of the raw materials. As for other aspects, you just need to control the heat.
It’s not surprising that I’ve studied the recipes of these time-honored snacks before.
The materials that Cheng Yuxue sent over included various fruits and dried fruits.
Put these together with double skin milk and you have a bowl of extremely delicious dessert.
Ning Buwen couldn't help but made a bowl for himself.
Come to think of it, it seemed like he hadn't sat down so quietly to eat double skin milk for a long time.
The last time I ate this was about four or five years ago.
Cheng Yuxue didn't say a word the whole time. He just ate his food peacefully. After finishing one bowl, he wanted a second one.
The team leader said that he might be a player who had experienced the last Pandora game and would know a lot. Ning Buwen wanted to ask, but didn't know where to start.
Just like what the team leader said, even if he knows everything now, it will only add to the pressure.
Knowing some things before you become strong enough will be quite troublesome for your development.
"You, why do you keep to yourself?" Ning Buwen thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "With your ability, you can team up with anyone."
Cheng Yuxue's hand stopped.
He raised his head and glanced at Ning Buwen with a slight smile on his face, "Is this what you wanted to ask me?"
"I will eventually know the other things I need to know." Ning Buwen looked away slightly, "Knowing too much is not a good thing for me now."
"Because I don't like being bound." Cheng Yuxue chuckled, looking down at the double skin milk in the bowl, poking it again and again, "You will find one day that the farther you go, the fewer people will stay with you. When you have a companion who has shared life and death with you, when you team up with others, you can't help but think about the past again and again. If you think too much, you will easily become addicted. In Pandora, there are many beautiful dreams that you know are false but you can't bear to break. Once you are addicted, you will never get out again."
Although Cheng Yuxue is a little crazy at ordinary times, when he is serious, he is actually no different from a normal person.
Just like now, when Ning Buwen heard him give such an answer in such a light tone, he felt as if something was pulling at his heart.
For Cheng Yuxue, what he has experienced is probably more than he can imagine.
He has some mental problems, maybe that's his way of protecting himself.
"It's my turn now. What about you?" Cheng Yuxue held his chin with one hand. "Who did you meet just now? I tried to find you, but it seemed like something blocked me. In this legion base, there are not many people who can use prop cards to block my prying eyes."
"I went to meet my creditor." Ning Buwen's heart was pounding, "It was just to pay off a debt."
I'd rather not ask than make it too obvious.
Even though the creditor said that he could tell Cheng Yuxue, Ning Buwen still subconsciously felt that he should not tell it now.
Cheng Yuxue looked at Ning Buwen quietly, and finally stopped asking.
Everyone has secrets.
Ning Buwen has quite a few secrets.
Although it would be fun to decrypt them all at once, he wouldn't do that.
Ning Buwen is a very interesting person, and Cheng Yuxue does not want to push Ning Buwen further away all of a sudden.
Always take your time.
"I'll ask you again, this one is not a problem. Even if you make me a gift of Shuangpi milk, do you really not need me to lend you money?"
"No need." Ning Buwen raised his eyebrows. "When I owed the debt, I said that I had to use my own money to pay it back. One hundred million a year, and I will never default on the payment."
"It's my turn now." Ning Buwen reacted immediately, "Do you have the fragments of the double S copy?"
"Yes, but I gave them to the commander of the No. 1 Legion." Cheng Yuxue shrugged. "This kind of thing depends on luck. My luck was not very good. I only found two and handed them all in as my rent. After all, such a big hospital belongs to me alone, and I feel embarrassed not to hand in something."
Moreover, having received such a huge favor from Cheng Yuxue, these legions could not help but turn a blind eye to the various unreasonable demands made by Cheng Yuxue.
Who can blame him for being so capable
"It's my turn." Cheng Yuxue thought for a moment, "Have you decided which personal physique benefit upgrade book to go to?"
ah
Ning Buwen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the topic suddenly turned to this. But when he thought about the person asking the question was Cheng Yuxue, he felt it was natural.
"Can I choose this kind of welfare book myself?" Ning Buwen really didn't know how to answer, so he had to expose his ignorance.
"Of course." Cheng Yuxue put down the spoon in his hand and explained seriously, "The rewards and experience of each welfare book are different. Ordinary welfare books are not of much use to you. Your personal physique is different from that of ordinary people. Upgrading in the ordinary way will not bring you any obvious improvement."
Damn, how come everyone knows about my special physique
"Oh, your special physique is easy to guess. That's what the magic mirror said." Cheng Yuxue added, "Everyone's special physique actually has different growth directions."
"What do you mean?"
"You should have met your leader. He is a very obvious example. Well, his contract partner is also very interesting." Cheng Yuxue seemed to have thought of something interesting. "I remember his name was Azhi. There were not many monsters that dared to show their claws to me. I have a deep impression of him."
So what did you do to make others so wary of you
Ning Buwen was actually very curious, why could Cheng Yuxue, who was so hated by everyone, live to this age without being beaten to death
Maybe that's why he is ranked eighth in the world.
People who are not strong enough and have this kind of personality are already dead.
"Although they are both messengers, your leader is able to reach the top among a large number of messengers. In addition to the fact that his contract partner is extremely powerful, it is also because he has the ability to withstand backlash. There are no two identical leaves in the world, so even if they have the same physique, their evolutionary directions are completely different." Cheng Yuxue seemed to be a little interested in explaining, "Almost all of the Pandora copies you have experienced before require decryption, but there are also many copies that rely on pure force to pass through. Just because you haven't encountered them yet doesn't mean you won't encounter them in the future. Many people who rely on their brains are often at a disadvantage when they encounter such copies that require brute force to pass through, and many of them die from them."
"It would be terrible if you died." Cheng Yuxue looked at Ning Buwen with a smile, "So, I suggest you go to a welfare book that can upgrade your combat ability. As long as you get a clearance evaluation above level A, you will have the ability to protect yourself and make up for your biggest shortcoming now."
"What welfare book?" Ning Bu Wen was completely unable to resist such temptation.
His biggest flaw at the moment is his lack of combat power. If possible, he would certainly want to improve his abilities as soon as possible.
"This is a little gadget I made." Cheng Yuxue took out a small ring.
Oh, no, to call it a ring you should respect it.
It's pretty much an iron ring.
There was nothing on it, it was terribly plain, and there were a lot of random scratches on it, as if it had been picked up from a trash can.
"As long as you go to the welfare dungeon, you can go to the dungeon I've been to before, but my way of clearing the dungeon is different from yours. Once I tell you, it will affect your settlement evaluation. Pandora is terribly fair in this regard." Cheng Yuxue explained, "Of course, the opponents you meet in it will not be limited to the Asian region."
"You mean, I will meet legion players of other skin colors?" Ning Bu Wen understood what Cheng Yuxue meant.
There is not only one Pangu Legion in this world.
The Pangu Legion headed by the yellow race in Asia, the Noah Legion headed by the white race in Europe, and the black free legion headed by the remaining regions such as South America are the three top legions in the world.
Unlike the Pangu Legion which was broken up into smaller units, these two legions existed independently, with clear hierarchies and strict factional struggles.
Take the Noah Legion as an example. There are religious factions specializing in supernatural copies, iron-blooded factions specializing in reality copies, and the former Middle East region. There are a lot of powerful players coming out of the battlefield. Although the total number is small, it is able to be on par with the other two factions. Coupled with various conflicts before the end of the world, the struggle in the legion has become more intense.
If they are divided by factions of affiliated legions, they are divided by different beliefs.
The Free Legion is mostly composed of black people, and their physical advantage is the most obvious. Even if they were formed later, their strength cannot be underestimated. Some extremely mysterious witchcraft has also been developed after the appearance of Pandora, and weird individual physiques are emerging in endlessly.
Even if it is the end of the world, not everyone will necessarily be of one mind.
The convergence of these conflicts also meant that the three legions were destined to be unable to merge, and instead they each used their own ways to clear their own copies.
"You should open your eyes and see the world." When Cheng Yuxue said this, his eyes seemed to sparkle, and he had a mentality of watching the fun and not minding the trouble. "The people of Pangu Corps are not as hard-hearted as those of the other two legions. Although I also like this, I have to say that when it comes to the quality of the new generation of players, their side should be a little higher, or in other words, they will be more adapted to the game world of Pandora."
Ning Buwen put the iron ring on his finger and said, "With this, can I go to the dungeon world you've been to?"
"Of course." Cheng Yuxue looked even happier when he saw Ning Buyen readily put on the gift he gave him. "But because I'm growing so fast, the other two legions seem to have thought about imitating my growth path. I don't like people I don't like imitating me. Since you like me, go and help me defeat all these inferior imitators."
What a psychotic statement!
Ning Buwen simply didn't want to listen any further.
"Do you really want to see a good show?" Ning Bu Wen finally understood why Cheng Yuxue suddenly came to him.
This ancestor must have felt bored and wanted to entertain himself.
"No, no, no." Cheng Yuxue shook his head and said, "I just want you to open your eyes and see the world. To be honest, my wish is world peace."
Haha, you’re kidding.
Ning Buwen complained in his heart.
"Only in a relatively peaceful world will people meet my various demands, because they will accommodate me for the sake of peace." Cheng Yuxue knew what Ning Buyen was thinking, "If this world is full of disputes and violence, then even if I go crazy and kill everyone in an area, they will not pay attention to me and will only continue their power struggle."
"I am a sick person. Is there anything wrong with a patient wanting a peaceful and comfortable environment to recuperate?"
Ning Buwen was convinced.
In fact, the logic of mental illness actually makes a lot of sense.
The author has something to say: Cheng Yuxue: Today is also a day to convince people with reason!
I would rather not ask: Why do I have to be convinced by the logic of mental illness every time
—————————
Well, not asking about the debt is an obvious foreshadowing. I won’t tell you if you ask me now~~~ But everyone is welcome to speak up and guess~
In the early days, when Ning Buwen had not grown up, Cheng Yuxue could basically only be a background board. But it doesn’t matter. Ning Buwen will slowly learn more about Cheng Yuxue in one personal world after another.
I love this kind of thing of following in the footsteps of the person I like, walking the path the person I like has walked again to understand his story. Of course, some memories of Cheng Yuxue's past will also be interspersed in the copy. The iron ring has more than just the function of positioning.
Cheng Yuxue's character will gradually become more full-bodied through the steps of not asking~
There is no hope for me with this kind of cuteness. Even if I cut my own thigh flesh, it’s still meat!
