Since we are meeting childhood friends, there is no need to be too restrained.
The three of them sat down directly on the sofa, eating and chatting.
"What are you doing here?" An Buli asked first. Although his tone was not very good, his awkward expression told Ning Buwen that he still enjoyed Ning Buwen's concern.
What a twisted person.
Ning Buwen secretly complained in his heart, but still made his purpose clear, "Isn't this because I'm worried? Cao Qiu is working as a clerk now, Wen Duoduo and I joined the Weiguang team together, but there's no news about you. You've disappeared, so I had to come look for you."
"I'm not strong enough." An Buli replied dryly. In the past, An Buli would never have said such a self-deprecating thing. Compared with the newcomers of the same period, An Buli was definitely not the type of person who was not strong enough. On the contrary, he could be considered as the one who performed well. If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't have been specially taken out of the cell by the team leader and even got a special pardon.
But unfortunately, the person who teamed up with An Buli was Ning Buwen, who was ranked third on the newcomer list. Although he was ranked third, his first time on the list had such a high score, which almost meant that Ning Buwen was the most outstanding one among the newcomers from the East and the West.
Being in the same team with Ning Buwen, even a genius would be outshone. An Buli rarely refused to admit defeat, but in the Feng Shui Treasure Cave instance, he never realized that he could be so weak. Apart from saving his own life, Ning Buwen solved most of the rest. The last fragment was also obtained by Liang Fei at the cost of his life. What did he have
He kept saying that he wanted to defeat Ning Buwen, but just one copy made him realize the gap between him and Ning Buwen. If he continued to be so shameless and pretended that he didn't know the gap, An Buli would look down on him.
That's why he came here to find some fun.
Unlike Ning Buwen who cut off ties with his friends after leaving the welfare home, An Buli has always kept in touch with some of his companions.
Most of the people who came out were ordinary people, and some of them took out loans to buy exit cards after visiting Pandora once. The only three people who really became players were him, Ning Buwen, and Le Buting.
Le Buting was one of the first players to enter the Pandora game, and he was also one of the people who experienced the chaotic period of Pandora players in the first year. Because his personality changed a lot after entering Pandora, it made An Buli feel a little uneasy, so he rarely contacted him. But he also knew that the experience and knowledge possessed by the first batch of players entering Pandora were incomparable to him. Therefore, after knowing that he urgently needed to improve his strength, An Buli took the initiative to contact Le Buting.
"Will you take the exam for the Second Legion and officially become a member of the Second Legion?" Ning Bu Wen looked at him seriously.
"If you sincerely invite me, I can go." An Buli looked away slightly, seeming a little embarrassed.
You're already so grown up, doesn't it feel weird to act like a little girl
Ning Buwen's heart was filled with the desire to complain, but for the sake of his eyes, he had to turn his gaze back to Le Bushing who was standing beside him.
Compared to the Le Bushing in his memory, the young man who appeared before him now was almost completely different. If Ning Buwen had not been sure that he was Le Bushing, he would probably not have recognized him even if he met him on the street.
In fact, Le Bushing's appearance has not changed much, and is not much different from before. However, once a person's temperament changes, the familiarity of his appearance will also be diluted.
Just like now.
The same almond-shaped eyes, which appeared weak and vulnerable on the previous Le Bushing, have become calm and composed on the current Le Bushing; the pale complexion used to be a symbol of thinness and helplessness, but now it has become gloomy and cold.
The first sight of Le Buting will make people feel scared, even a little creepy.
Ning Buwen was enlightened to see that a person's before and after changes could be so huge.
"I don't want to listen. Is your physique special?" Ning Bu Wen asked as tactfully as possible.
This should not only be a change in personality, but also in other aspects.
"My personal physique is called wizard." Le Bushing smiled slightly, "Because my current personal physique has been upgraded to a certain threshold, it will be directly reflected in my appearance. It will be fine after a while."
An Buli was also exceptionally well-behaved, and he secretly winked at Ning Buwen, indicating that Ning Buwen should not ask any more questions.
"I heard that you are living with Cheng Yuxue now." Le Bushing didn't say much about his own affairs. Instead, he was curious about the relationship between Ning Buwen and Cheng Yuxue. "How did you meet Cheng Yuxue?"
"Cheng Yuxue? It can't be the one I know." It was the first time that An Buli knew that Ning Buwen and Cheng Yuxue were related. No one had told him this.
"Is there another person in the world with this name?" Le Bushing asked back.
The expression on An Buli's face was completely replaced by shock.
Still... it really is.
No way.
"No, you... have you been stimulated by something?" An Buli looked at Ning Buwen's head worriedly. Could it be that he turned into a fool due to excessive stimulation
Le Bu Ting was ranked outside the top 100 in the Pandora player rankings, and he was already a pervert that was hard to guess. When playing a dungeon with him, even if the opponent stood still, the boss would deliberately avoid him and attack him, picking on him as a weak persimmon. The tip of the iceberg revealed by Le Bu Ting made An Buli tremble with fear, so how terrifying would Cheng Yuxue, the world-famous madman ranked eighth, look like
"In a complex dungeon, I was the side quest and he was the main quest." Ning Buwen explained casually, "I can't say much about the rest, but he is okay. As long as I don't touch on his points, I'm safe."
"No need to ask." Le Bushing glanced at him with a half-smile, "The only people who can get along well with Cheng Yuxue are his kind."
"Haha, is that so." Ning Buwen laughed, "I don't think you can get along well with him."
"I can't." Le Bushing shook his head firmly, "I met him once before, and he almost beat me to death."
… This is probably a character issue.
Cheng Yuxue probably showed mercy.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Le Bushing quickly changed the subject. "It's rare for us to meet, so let's just catch up. There's no need to think too much. We'll talk about Pandora after we enter the game."
"That's right." Ning Buwen agreed with this statement very much. "Let's just chat and reminisce today. I mainly want to know how you are doing. Since you are fine, I don't have to worry about you. I can explain to Duoduo and Cao Qiu now."
"Don't worry about me so much." An Buli's eyes were a little red, but he was very good at hiding it. "After I officially join the legion, I will go find them."
But not yet.
He is still too weak.
———————
Now that An Buli has been found, Ning Buwen can finally put his worries to rest.
In the next few days, Ning Buwen went to the training room of the army from time to time, and became familiar with Xiao Liu. This girl was easy to approach, at least much easier to approach than Han Xinbo.
Ning Buwen knew that their problem was not so easy to solve. In the early stage, it was enough to establish a little connection and exchange information with each other when going to the next dungeon.
Some friendships will not be created without experiencing life and death.
This is especially true in this world.
Within the designated time, all five members of the reorganized Weiguang Team were present, and Mr. Zhang Ziwen was temporarily appointed as the team leader.
"This time, the compound copy was reported by a newcomer and legion who escaped from this copy using an escape card." Zhang Ziwen took the initiative to assume the responsibility of explaining.
Even if you get the Escape Card, the player who has just been selected by Pandora must go into the game and then use the Escape Card to come back.
This is also the reason why many people are willing to sell their new member gift packs.
As long as he could sell his new member gift package at a good price, combined with his previous savings and loans, he would be able to scrape together enough money to buy a separation card, which would then only require him to repay the loan and he would basically be able to sustain his life.
However, they must also do their best to go to the legion hall where they live to report the contents of the copy.
The Legion also uses such channels to collect as much copy information as possible in Pandora, so as to find copies where derivative fragments may appear and allow exploration teams to enter, thereby improving efficiency, rather than relying on luck like a headless fly.
Even though the information available to many new players is limited, once the number of people increases, the information gathered together will become a huge thing.
"According to the newcomer's report, there were about 20 players who entered this dungeon with him. Except for the three who escaped using the escape cards, almost all the others died on the second or third day." Zhang Ziwen looked at the report in his hand and was a little confused. "We found this dungeon using the location card, but we can't have too much information."
"Even if it's a complex copy, the mortality rate and survival time are a bit too low." Han Xinbo is experienced and can understand the horror of this copy from this short information.
"That's right." Zhang Ziwen glanced at Ning Buwen and Wen Duoduo, and kindly explained, "In general, complex dungeons will have old players and new players doing different side quests. There are also situations where the main quest will only appear after the side quest is completed. But according to the information we have gathered, the number of new players entering a complex dungeon is generally maintained at around seven or eight, and the dungeon will also take proper care of the new players. At least in the first three days, the new players will not be in too much danger of life. Even if there is, only one or two will die. For a case like this where the whole team is almost wiped out in the second and three days, the danger level is far beyond the general level."
Otherwise, the copy would not have been sent to their exploration team immediately after the newcomer's report.
"According to the newcomer's report, the newcomer branch dungeon he entered is called Death Train. The mission lasts for ten days. They need to find a passenger who died in vain in the carriage they are in, and then take the passenger off at the next station to complete the mission. If they don't find the passenger on the first day, they will start again from the first station on the second day, and everything will return to the starting point. The difference is that people will start dying on the second day, and on the third day they will face large-scale casualties. He originally wanted to hold on to the fourth day, but unfortunately he didn't have any extra prop cards to save his life, so he had to leave when he started over on the fourth day."
This is all the information that can be given to newcomers. What they will face after entering this dungeon will definitely be much more difficult than this side quest.
This is not an easy task.
"But this new guy mentioned the concept of 'reincarnation', didn't he?" Han Xinbo said calmly, "The first day was fine. We didn't find the passengers required for the mission after we arrived at the station, so we started all over again on the second day. This kind of dungeon involving cause and effect reincarnation is likely to contain S-level props that disrupt order, and it is even more likely to become fragments of the final copy. For this reason, we have to go in too."
"Yes, that's why we're going." Zhang Ziwen nodded, agreeing with Han Xinbo's words, "But we can see with our naked eyes how difficult this dungeon is. There's a high chance you'll die if you go there. Everyone should be mentally prepared and prepare as many prop cards involving cause and effect as possible. The first priority is to find the fragments."
Ning Bu Wen looked down at the probability ring on his wrist and said nothing.
This type of copy is a good opportunity to try out the power of your upgraded physique.
At night, Zhang Ziwen brought Ning Buwen and the others who were ready to go to a room in the legion and said, "Let's go."
"yes."
Ning Buwen and Wen Duoduo nodded to each other and strode in.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the familiar blue sea and blue sky.
The fish customer service was still the same as before, swimming around leisurely.
"It is detected that players are using location cards to enter the specified dungeon. Players have one chance to cancel. Do you want to use it?"
"No." Zhang Ziwen replied.
"Welcome players to the copy world of Train Eighteen." Yu's customer service was very dedicated and quickly provided the corresponding copy information.
"This is a compound dungeon, and the time limit is half a year. Players need to wait until the side quests in the first three rookie carriages are completed to start the main quest. The time starts from the official start of the main quest."
"Since the designated dungeon level is S, there are 16,893 sealed item cards, and players can check them out on their own. Senior players can interfere with the tasks of new players five times, and will be warned if they exceed three times. Senior players must not reveal their identities and enter the train as passengers waiting for the main task to begin."
"We are about to enter the 18th train of the dungeon. Players, please be prepared."
Ning Buwen felt a familiar dizziness and soon lost consciousness.
"For the last time, two boxes of fruit for ten yuan."
“Milk coffee, melon seeds and spicy noodles…”
The train attendants pushed various snacks around the carriage, and from time to time passengers would stop them and ask them to buy a few packs of snacks and drinks that were twice the market price.
Ning Bu Wen was not nervous and touched his body first.
Well, one ticket, from the starting station to the terminal, took three days.
Well, the equipment of this train is clearly a high-speed rail configuration, but it takes three days. What place is so far away? Of course, he has never heard of the famous train station on it.
Then there was a wallet with a lot of cash in it, as well as an ID card, driver's license, bank card and so on.
Well, my current appearance is different from my original appearance, and I look ordinary. There is also a mobile phone, which contains a lot of information, but it is of no help in confirming my identity.
This alone is not enough, we need more information to understand this identity.
"Sorry, please move aside." Ning Bu Wen stood up from his seat and went to look for his luggage.
The customer service said that these advanced players who are doing the main quest need to play the role of a passenger, so they must first clarify their identity.
Otherwise, if they are exposed and seen by new players, they will be in trouble if they mistakenly think they are the targets of the mission and take them off the bus.
But, with so much luggage, which one is mine
"Next stop is Ninghu Station. Please do not move around. The toilets are temporarily closed..."
The train has already started to give reminders that the new players will probably be getting on when the next stop, Ninghu Station, arrives.
And now, he doesn't even know his own identity.
At this time, Ning Buwen discovered that several passengers had also stood up from their seats, as if they were also looking for their luggage.
Several passengers pretended to casually touch their left earlobes to confirm their identities.
In this kind of complex script, there are often situations where everyone may not be together or their appearance may change, so they will also design some small actions to make it easier for everyone to identify each other.
Great, at least we're all in the same car.
At this time, a tall man came over.
Ning Buwen noticed that his hands were touching the luggage one by one.
It’s Han Xinbo!
Oh, and his ability can help them find the corresponding luggage.
However, their current setting may not make it convenient for them to recognize each other directly. In a complex script, we have to respect the setting and logic, and we have to think of a suitable excuse.
Got it.
"Sir." Ning Buwen called Han Xinbo politely, "I have periarthritis of the shoulder, so it's not easy for me to raise my hands too high. Could you please help me with my luggage?"
Han Xinbo glanced at Ning Buwen and nodded, "Okay."
After saying that, he walked over.
After touching several pieces of luggage, Han Xinbo handed a black briefcase to Ning Buwen, "This is yours."
"Thank you so much." Ning Buwen thanked him repeatedly.
Following Han Xinbo's example, Wen Duoduo and others also asked Han Xinbo to help take down their luggage and found a place to start checking.
Ning Bu Wen found several teacher certificates in his briefcase, including junior, intermediate and senior ones, as well as some award certificates, written materials and of course, an invitation letter to a special teacher training class.
Got it figured out.
This body is a senior Chinese teacher, and now he is going to attend a training course for special-grade teachers, which will facilitate his evaluation as a special-grade teacher in the future.
There was also an old camera and several rolls of film in the briefcase, and Ning Buwen even found a small finger-length screwdriver in the briefcase.
Huh
What is a high school Chinese teacher doing with a screwdriver
However, this screwdriver is so small that it can barely pass security inspection.
The rest is just some change of clothes, nothing special.
Ning Buwen closed his briefcase again, took his ticket and came to the passenger sitting next to Wen Duoduo. He looked at the quiet female student in the seat and asked in a friendly manner, "Miss, I feel carsick and would like to sit closer to the window. Could you please change seats with me? I'll sit over there."
Ning Buwen had considered the reason why he chose this schoolgirl-like passenger to propose an exchange request.
Because there was a young white-collar woman sitting next to him.
Generally speaking, female passengers would prefer to sit with other female passengers rather than sitting together with a few uncles.
The female student glanced at the polite Ning Buwen, then looked at the seat Ning Buwen pointed to, and indeed agreed.
"Thank you very much. I'm going to the terminal. What about you? Let me help you with your luggage, otherwise it will be difficult for you to move when the time comes." Ning Bu Wen asked in a friendly manner.
"I'm also at the terminal." The female student smiled. "My luggage is in the storage rack in the carriage. No need to move it. Thank you."
"No, it's me who is bothering you." Ning Buwen thanked him repeatedly.
After sitting with Wen Duoduo, Ning Buwen felt a lot more relaxed, and Wen Duoduo also felt a lot safer.
Although other people cannot change seats too frequently, they can follow suit and try to sit closer.
"Hello, sorry to bother you for the next few days." Ning Bu Wen pretended to be a stranger and greeted Wen Duoduo.
"No, just take care of each other when we are away from home." Wen Duoduo once again revealed his identity, and then started to communicate with Ning Buwen in a serious manner, and also added him on WeChat.
With communication tools, things will be much more convenient.
"Please wait a moment. I'm going to the toilet." Wen Duoduo stood up again and went to wait at the bathroom door. Then he added Xiao Liu, Han Xinbo and Zhang Ziwen, who also came pretending to wash their hands and make instant noodles, on WeChat.
Soon, they were able to communicate in real time even if they were sitting in different seats.
It is too unrealistic for five people to sit together and it is easy for new players to find out.
"We have arrived at Ninghu Station. Passengers arriving at the station please get off in order, first come first served..."
The train stopped, and Ning Buwen and others sat in their seats, playing with their mobile phones while pretending to casually look at the people entering their carriage.
Forehead…
This batch of newcomers is not very good.
Ning Buwen looked at the people who were shivering while holding their train tickets, and couldn't help but cover his face and sigh.
Is this kind of newbie sure to be able to pass this kind of side quest?!
The author has something to say: Le Bu Ting: Cheng Yuxue almost beat me to death.
Ning Buwen: I guess he showed mercy.
Cheng Yuxue: Hehehe - Thank you to the little angels who cast the tyrant votes or irrigated the nutrient solution for me~
