There is no so-called concept of time in the gray space, but because the residents in it are used to day and night in the birth plane and task plane, the gray space will also simulate the feeling of changing day and night.
After resting for a while to relieve the fatigue caused by traveling through more than ten worlds in a row, Bai Duan left the room before Guan Wu appeared and walked to the mission hall - Guan Wu had brought him here before and explained to him Go through the process of accepting tasks.
Yes, Bai Duan also wants to take on a task. First, he can avoid Guan Wu's entanglement, prove his determination to be angry to the other party, and give Guan Wu a chance to reflect on himself alone; Prove yourself and tell Guan Wu that he is also qualified for the job of a "defender" and does not need to be blindly protected by him.
The system named "White Light" by Bai Duan wobbled by his side. Finally recovered from the silent state, Bai Guangguang was honest, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and only answered Bai Duan seriously when he asked.
The mission hall is still empty, and the high-hanging display screen shows three "beehives" divided into densely packed polygons, which can still kill massacre phobia.
Skipping the milky white newborn department and the black-gray extermination department, Bai Duan came to the screen of the stability maintenance department showing a light yellow circle, looking at the green and red troubles of different shades on it—to be honest, it was the first time to choose a task , he really had some difficulty in choosing.
Just when Bai Duan was hesitating, a hearty greeting interrupted his thoughts: "Hey! Are you a new defender? I haven't seen you before!"
Bai Duan turned her head to look in the direction of the voice, and saw a young man dressed in hip-hop fashion walking quickly, and even winked at him in high spirits: "Nice meeting, my name is Gerardel!"
Bai Duan was silent for three seconds: "... Hello, my name is Bai Duan."
"Hello, white beauty~" Seeing that Bai Duan seemed a little indifferent, Gerardel restrained his excessive enthusiasm, but he still called him frivolously friendly, "Is there anything I can do for you? I am the task inspector in charge of the human plane. When you go to various planes to do tasks, I will be responsible for protecting your body and ensuring the smooth operation of the equipment." After a pause, he carefully examined the white satin for a moment, then added He said, "Although your prototype is a beast, you were born in the world of comprehension. And the world of comprehension belongs to the human plane, so if you want to do tasks, you will also be assigned to the human plane."
Regarding Geraldell's job description, Bai Duan seemed to understand: "Then... do you know someone in a white coat?"
"Are you referring to Jianguang? He is my teacher, and also an inspector—what, you have something to do with him?" Gerardel brushed his shiny blond hair.
"It's okay, I just remembered it." Bai Duan shook his head.
"That's good." Geraldell said with a smile, "My teacher was asked by an old friend some time ago to help him monitor the progress of a series of planes. Now he has just finished work and is very tired. He has already gone to rest. I am on duty. If you want to find him, you may have to wait for a while!"
Seeing that Gerardel didn't seem to know about his relationship with Guan Wu, Bai Duan felt a little more at ease: "It's my first time accepting a mission, so I don't know how to choose..."
"It's understandable, after all, there are too many choices! I will help you!" Gerardel walked forward with a smile. He pressed a few buttons, and a port appeared on the lower layer of the screen, "First connect your system to the port, pass in your information, and create a personal account."
Bai Duan hesitated for a moment: "I may not always work as a maintainer in the future..."
"It doesn't matter." Geraldell waved his hand, "The gray space will not force residents to take on a job, and is willing to give residents full experience and choice. You can experience it a few times first to confirm whether you can take it This job." After a pause, Gerardl looked at Bai Duan's delicate and clean face, showing a bit of pity and kindness, "Actually, although the maintainers earn the most energy points, the work is the hardest and the most intense. There have been many maintainers who have mental breakdowns due to too much work pressure, you have to do what you can.”
"Thank you, I know." Bai Duan smiled and accepted Geraldell's kindness, "I also plan to try it a few times before I speak."
"That's good." Geraldell nodded, calling out his system to browse and screen hundreds of millions of various tasks, and quickly selected the target, "Here is a good task—the task issuer No bad habits or physical disabilities, high status, good looks, strong strength... As long as you get through the initial difficulties, everything will be solved!"
"Will such a perfect person also issue tasks?" Bai Duan asked curiously.
"Of course." Geraldell shrugged his shoulders, "Some people have been smooth sailing for the first half of their lives and lacked nothing, so their psychological endurance is weaker, and they are prone to collapse when encountering major changes, and they want to escape but are worried about it. .”
Bai Duan nodded: "Then I will accept this task."
"Okay." Gerardel greeted Bai Duan's system, and was about to take over the task for him, but hesitated for a while, "By the way, let me ask you in advance, do you hate blood?"
Bai Duan frowned subconsciously: "It's a bit annoying, what's the matter?"
"Then... can you accept drinking blood?" Gerardel's expression was a little awkward.
"Drinking blood? Blood is not good to drink. It's fishy and astringent. It's disgusting." Bai Duan shook his head with disgust on his face. "What kind of creature is the mission target? Why do you want to drink blood?"
"Vampires...of course they want to drink blood." Gerard shrugged his shoulders, "However, blood should be a very delicious food according to the taste of vampires, so there is no need to worry about the taste, but some people are psychologically unable to drink blood. accept."
"Oh, as long as it tastes good, I'm not against it. Speaking of which, I still want to know what the blood in a vampire's mouth tastes like!" Bai Duan breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of resisting, he was a little curious, his eyes gleaming eagerly, and he decided decisively, "Choose this task!"
Geraldell: "………………"
—I thought this was a soft and kind little angel, but I didn't expect her nature to be so cruel, it made me worry for nothing...
Gerardel, who was quite skeptical about his life, silently helped Bai Duan take over the task, and then took him to the public studio on the other side of the mission hall: "Because you are not an official maintainer, so you don't have your own studio. We can only temporarily use public instruments and nutrition cabins."
Bai Duan nodded indifferently, and stepped into the nutrition cabin opened by Gerardel.
While adjusting the data of the nutrition cabin for Bai Duan, Geraldell told him all kinds of things that need to be paid attention to when going to the task plane: "The job of the maintainer is to maintain the stability of the world and earn as much energy as possible on this basis. So there are a lot of rules to follow, and you can ask your system for details."
"Okay, thank you." Bai Duan thanked, and soon lost consciousness after the hatch fell down—when he woke up again, he was already in the world where the mission target was.
Immediately after regaining consciousness, Bai Duan was startled by the bone-piercing pain in his chest. He couldn't help moaning, and looked down at his chest—the original body was obviously seriously injured. There was an ominous black air.
It was the first time he encountered such a situation, Bai Duan was confused, but unfortunately the current situation did not allow him to think carefully.
While observing the injury, Bai Duan's keen hearing caught a sound of breaking through the air. He turned his head towards the direction of the sound, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned around to try to dodge, but unfortunately he underestimated the extent of the serious injury to this body.
The injury affected his speed. Even though Bai Duan could clearly see the trajectory of the silver bullet, the bullet still pierced through his shoulder.
Silver is the natural enemy of vampires, and that does seem to be true—at least on this plane. The shoulder wounded by the silver bullet immediately felt a puff of black air, and there was a piercing pain. Bai Duan staggered and almost fell to his knees, but he clenched his teeth and persisted with his own willpower.
Obviously Geraldell said that this is already a very simple task, but as soon as he entered the world, Bai Duan's face was covered with deep malice, and he had to admit that the job of a defender... is indeed quite challenging.
"Master, I have scanned the nearby map for you and marked the location of the pursuer, let's run first!" White light fluttered anxiously around Bai Duan, and a transparent virtual map spread out in front of Bai Duan's eyes. It is clear at a glance.
Bai Duan nodded and thanked him softly, but his frown did not relax - not only because of the unbearable pain in his body, but also because the enemy's siege was so tight that it was not so easy to escape even with a map .
Wrapping the black cloak tightly around his body, Bai Duan rushed towards the enemy gap marked on the map, but his injuries still dragged him down. Even though Bai Duan tried his best to hide his figure carefully, he was still discovered by the enemy.
In an instant, several more bullets were shot at him, and Bai Duan quickly judged that he could not dodge, and he couldn't help showing a little anxiety on his face. With his current physical condition, it is obvious that he can no longer withstand the impact of these bullets. Is he going to "die before he leaves the army" and be sent back to the gray space before he has done anything? !
—That's really... so embarrassing! He will definitely be laughed to death by Guan Wu!
——So cowardly, how can he prove himself to Guan Wu, and what qualifications does he have to gain the other party's trust
It is about the severe form that is easier to stimulate potential. Bai Duan was unwilling to give up like this, now he has nothing, the only thing he can use is the power of the original owner as a vampire, no matter what, he must work hard.
It has to be said that the original owner has really reached the end of his strength. Although there is still a trace of energy in his body, it is too superficial, and even the original owner himself finds it difficult to concentrate and use this energy.
—Fortunately, Bai Duan's soul is still the spirit-eating mink, and he is born with the ability to control "Qi", even if he changes his body, it will not have much impact.
Raising his hand, Bai Duan squeezed the last bit of energy in his body, and pushed it out of his body. In an instant, a puff of black air rose up, wrapping the white satin in it.
The silver bullet pierced through the black air, and was quickly corroded into a puddle of dirty liquid. Bai Duan heard his pursuers cursing loudly "Why does he still have strength", but he didn't stop on his feet, and in an instant, relying on the protection of black air, he rushed out of the encirclement and disappeared into the thick night.
With the help of the real-time map scanned by the system, Bai Duan escaped the enemy's capture until there was no trace of the enemy on the map. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, convinced that he had finally escaped, and took the step as a "protector" "The first step."
"The most important thing next is how to recover from injuries..." Bai Duan was thinking in his mind, asking his own system, "Bai Guang, how do vampires heal their injuries? Do they suck blood?"
"Under normal circumstances, yes." Bai Guang leaned on his master, seeing him pale and weak as if he was about to die in a second, he was very worried, "but master, you are hurt too badly now, even if you suck blood, you can't recover from it." Solving the problem fundamentally can only temporarily prevent the situation from deteriorating.”
"It's good to avoid deterioration, at least it can give me more time to look for opportunities." Bai Duan sighed softly, "And there is no other way, isn't it?"
"There are other ways..." The white light flickered for a while, "I can take a look at the system mall, there should be special medicine for curing vampires. Although this thing is not very expensive, we still can't afford it now... Huh?!"
"What's wrong?" Hearing the shock in Bai Guang's voice, Bai Duan also panicked.
"Buy, afford it! We've just started the mission, why do you have so many energy points in your account, Master?" Bai Guang's tone quickly became agitated, "Master, wait a moment, I'll buy it for you— "
"Wait a minute." Bai Duan pursed her lips and interrupted Bai Guang, "You don't need to buy it, those energy points... are not mine."
—He wanted to prove himself to Guan Wu, so naturally he couldn't rely on anything from Guan Wu.
Bai Guang was silent for a moment, it checked the status of its owner's account, and quickly figured out the origin of the energy point: "So it is, because it is a partnership, so the energy points of the owner and Mr. Guan Wu are common..." said Forget it, it agreed with Bai Duan's words understandingly, "Since this is the case, then it's fine not to use it. After all, once the other party's energy points are spent, it will be unclear when we break up in the future."
Bai Duan: "………………"
The veins on his forehead twitched slightly, and Bai Duan gritted his teeth to reject the flag set by his own system: "I don't want to break up with him!"
The system faltered a bit: "But..."
Bai Duan: "There is no 'but', otherwise be careful and I will continue to mute you!"
Bai Guang: "... ... ... ... ... QAQ"
——Obviously he doesn't want to meet face-to-face and doesn't want to use his energy, but he still refuses to admit the breakup. My master is really stubborn!
