…

Facts have proved that the strategic direction of waiting for an invitation rather than actively applying is extremely correct.

After a simple interview, Ember passed the preliminary review of Mysterious Edge. Together with two game characters from the university and the Scavenger, under the guidance of the Mysterious Edge examiner, he entered the game excavated by [The Fool] and controlled by Mysterious Edge. The semi-open restricted area of ​​life - [Sin City Corner], is subject to social inspection.

Anyone who passes the interview is considered a member of the Secret Edge, but the salary benchmark depends on the results of the interview.

Ember, high-level university student [Pai Zhong] and high-level scavenger [Warhead] are the three targets of this investigation, and they happen to belong to the three major organizations in the paradise world.

Gala Gala......

As soon as the "open-top" carriage with hay scattered on it arrived at the prison gate of Sin City, it was like unloading garbage, throwing down Ember and others, and then fled from the city gate like the wind, as if the dark steel gate in front of it was a big beast. mouth, waiting for the food to come automatically.

The mysterious examiner, who was already familiar with such plots, walked to the prison gate guards with ease, pointed at the three people behind him and said: "We have purchased indulgences, let's release him."

The prison gate guard, whose whole body was tightly wrapped in black armor, only revealed a pair of red pupils in the gap between his face armor. His eyes, which exuded a frightening bloody light, scanned Yu Yan and others in turn. After confirming that the indulgences indeed existed, he went straight to Open the door and let the four "fugitives" escape into the city.

According to the information provided by the foundation, the indulgence is actually the "resonance potion" that must be consumed to enter the dungeon.

Because only the will resonance of a specific frequency can be seen in the chaotic semi-open life restricted area, the ruins of the sin city that can be traced back to the world of the ancient gods. The reason why there is a thirty-point will requirement is actually to ensure that the resonance is drunk. After taking the potion, he won't have a nervous breakdown and go crazy on the spot. However, even if he meets the conditions for drinking, Yi Yan can still hear strange sounds coming from inside his head from time to time.

This is a highly unusual phenomenon.

The Foundation's detailed information also confirmed that this phenomenon is caused by the special substance mixed with the resonance potion. As the exploration of Sin City gradually deepens, such strange sounds will become more and more serious, until under the catalysis of certain inducements, there will be Further changes.

"Fortunately, the information has already stated that the resonance potion tastes like sweet strawberry, otherwise I would really want to feed it to the crow."

In his reverie, Yi Yan followed the mysterious examiner, walked through the dark doorway, and saw the street scene of Sin City behind the high wall - desolate, messy, with a few vaguely visible shops, completely unplanned and scattered in the visible area, and life There are more residents here than expected, but most of them have cloudy eyes and stooped postures, like walking zombies who have lost their fighting spirit.

According to the data, this is a common phenomenon among the low-level humans living in the world of ancient gods. Without the constraints of order and lack of strength, they often have to undergo double physical and mental exploitation, even if they are qualified to escape into the sin city. , they are all prisoners with some ability, and most of them have been squeezed out of all their value because of the sacrifices raised time and time again.

If nothing else happens, these walking zombies won't survive Sunday.

And even if there are a few "accidents" such as Ember, only a few special beings will be rescued.

Ignoring the slowly gathering gloomy gazes, the mysterious examiner led Yu Yan and others to hide in a dark street corner near the city gate. Dressed in a black robe, he was in the shadow of the street corner. Yu Yan, who had low perception, could not even distinguish in the shadow. Out of shape, obviously.

"Your first mission is very simple. Only by finding enough sacrifices can you be qualified to accept the next test. There are many areas in Sin City where you can hunt down concrete lives that can be used as sacrifices. The map has been handed over to you in advance. Let's discuss how to distribute them." A faint voice floated out from the darkness, and the mysterious examiner used to use "concrete life" to describe all living bodies in the restricted area.

"Yes." The three of them responded in unison.

"If you have spare energy, you can also try to help a few valuable embodied beings. As per the old rules, you all allocate yourselves. I am only responsible for supervision and will not interfere under normal circumstances." As he said this, Yi Yan felt a sense of scrutiny mixed with hostility. His eyes fell on himself, "If you know that you are not strong enough, you can try to kill the dying figures outside. They have almost no fighting power. As long as you are sure to bear the consequences, they are the best sacrifices."

Hearing this, the gentle-looking Pai Zhong and the strong warhead both looked at Yi Yan. They both knew that the mysterious instructor's words were meant for Yi Yan, who had the lowest combat rating and the worst background.

The legendary mark of a supreme level directly increased Ember's combat power rating by two thousand (Legendary Matters 1000-4000), helping him surpass the application threshold of three thousand five. However, Mysterious Edge only decided to do so because of his extremely strong potential. The invitation sent out, in terms of superficial combat power alone, totaled just over four thousand embers, which was far inferior to nearly six thousand platoon bells and warheads.

If the fourth-level members of the three organizations were compiled into a total list, Ember could barely squeeze into the top 65%, while Pai Zhong and Warhead could rank in the top 40%. The gap was not small.

The reason why the two of them have not accepted the entrance test until now is purely because the application threshold of 3,500 is prepared for people with "potential" like Yu Jin.

Pai Zhong and Warhead, who spoke for their strength, finally got such an opportunity after many rounds of interviews, and the scrutiny and hostility of the mysterious instructors can also be seen in the two of them. The reason is for no other reason than the rapid rise of Xinhuo Seed. The previous mainstream of the world, the reality distorters, felt in danger, especially when the news that Fire Seeds could use special rituals to more easily absorb power crystals and obtain distortion abilities reached their ears, immediately triggering a natural conflict between the two camps. opposition.

Previously, conflicts did not break out due to the huge gap between the two sides. As soon as the embers of the sudden rise showed signs of moving towards the top, they felt invisible pressure.

As for ordinary people who have been suppressed by reality distorters before, they don't have a good impression of the fire seeds. As ordinary people's warheads, they are even more hostile to the embers than Pai Zhong, who has the ability to distort.

"When you are out there, speak with your strength. People with high combat power scores will be chosen first." Warhead hammered his overly prominent chest muscles and pressed Ember with his sharp eyes. "Do you have any opinions?"

"It seems like I can't have any objections, right?" Yu Yan looked at the mysterious examiner and asked.

"The minority obeys the majority."

"Okay, let's choose those two first."

snort!

mock up!

The warhead hit Ember, taking away two high-quality "hunting grounds" on the spot and the smiling Pai Zhong, leaving Ember with the worst option. There are many places that cannot be explored in this area, making it difficult to hunt and help. The number of concrete lives is rare, but as far as the ember is concerned, it is actually in line with his current normal combat power. No matter how much he has, he cannot cope with it. Moreover, the foundation has other tasks for this.

Therefore, Yan Yan didn't suffer much, but this unabashed exclusion should still be remembered.

There are not many good people out there. Although Yan Yan doesn't like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, when his life and rights are threatened, he will fight back without hesitation.

It just so happens that he has this strength now.

After allocating the combat area, the three people from Ember immediately split up to take action. The cunning examiner, who does not have the ability to clone himself, naturally cannot monitor the three of them at the same time, so he chose to look at the platoon bells and warheads that are close together first, so that Ember can get more actions. free.

Uh-huh!

The two-star spirit crow flew into the air and overlooked the earth. Although it did not drink the resonance potion, it was derived from the epidemic doctor suit. Its attributes were related to the embers, and then resonated with the life restricted area. It was possible to see the concrete area in the corner of the Sin City, which was the embers. Provide vigilance at all times.

"Okay, okay..."

"Hungry... I'm so hungry..."

"If I can't prepare a sacrifice, I won't be able to survive. What should I do...what should I do?"

After getting rid of the helpless entanglement of a bunch of walking dead who didn't even try to ask for help, Ember went straight to the remote corner of Sin City... In the corner, due to the limited range of the life forbidden zone, in this area on the edge, you can even see the invisible dark curtain. Barrier, but it is precisely because of the closeness to the Dark Curtain that the Shadow-Eating Insects are able to breed in large numbers. Killing them all will satisfy Ember's demand for sacrifices.

Before the arrival of the embers, there were already concrete beings fighting against the shadow-eating insects, and this person was the only one with any value.

"Get away, you damn bugs!"

"Don't eat my sacrifice, I saved it with all my hard work!"

The speaker was a wretched warrior with a lame leg, a broken sword, and shattered armor. Facing a group of powerful mantis shadow-eating insects, he could stand in front of his sacrifice and try his best to resist the surrounding enemies. It was really impressive. It's not easy.

However, the lameness prevented him from moving like the wind, the broken sword made him no longer intimidating, and the rusty armor full of holes could not stop the sharp sickle blade of the mantis shadow-eating insect. Even if he was full of anxiety and tried his best to resist, he could not stop it. The mantis shadow-eating insect sneaked around and devoured the carnivorous sacrifices.

Upon seeing this, Yi Yan quickly ordered the two-star spirit crow who arrived first to rush forward and knock away the mantis shadow-eating insect, relieving the desperate warrior. He who arrived later placed a colonel's epaulette on his shoulder, and he was instantly It exuded the unique coercion of a legendary powerhouse and immediately scared away the group of mantis shadow-eating insects that were still besieging the embarrassed warriors.

Legend... legend exists?

The wrinkled and embarrassed warrior was also intimidated by the aura of the ember, but soon his mood changed from gloomy to sunny, because with the help of the legendary strong man, he would be able to keep the sacrifice he had worked so hard to prepare.

Of course, Ember is not a legendary powerhouse. He has not truly reached the legendary level, and he does not have the ability to actively release legendary marks.

However, in order for Ember to be eligible to try out the Black Cavalry Heavy Sword, the Foundation temporarily lent him an abnormal item, that is, the colonel's epaulette, allowing him to temporarily have legendary status. The name of this abnormal item is also straightforward. no.

…

Abnormal name: [I am a legend] (small artifact abnormal item)

Hazard level: safe

Power affiliation: Foundation

Energy level: Level 5

Life Level: Level 5

Function: Obtain legendary status (status only)

Additional explanation: This epaulette has an extremely special hallucinogenic effect. The wearer will unconsciously think that he is a legend, even if other appearances are inconsistent with the legend except for his identity and momentum.

[Tip: Please return this item immediately after the copy "Corner of Sin City" ends. 】

[Tip: The only drawback of this item is that you frequently hear dog barking from unknown sources. 】

…

Fake and shoddy legendary levels are also legends. At least the unique momentum and pressure of the legendary strong ones can directly frighten the mantis shadow eater with bad brains and prevent the embarrassed warrior and his sacrifice from finishing early.

Killing the bunch of Shadow Devouring Insects in front of him would only be enough for Yi Yan to pay tribute, so his rescue operation could save a lot of time.

The frightened Mantis Shadow Eaters flew all over the sky. After Ember took off the annoying colonel's shoulder straps, they quickly fluttered their wings and fought back. However, Ember's movements were faster than them. The mighty war cry spread and immediately gave way to the entire field. The air was stagnant, and even the two legendary four-star mantis shadow-eating bugs could not resist the power of the divine power. They immediately fell into a state of shock and were either unable to move or fell from the air.

At this time, Yi Yan didn't even need to activate his incarnation ability. He used ghost steps to dodge in front of one of the four-star mantises. He punched out without using much force and easily killed the other four-star mantis. Soon, the other four-star mantis also followed suit. Die quickly.

Although the corner of Sin City is a high-level dungeon, and the "little monsters" that come up are as high as four-star legends, this legend is not that legend after all, and the resistance does not reach the authoritative level, and it cannot survive a round in front of Ember.

As for the low-level Shadow Devouring Insects that had escaped from the frightened state, they immediately turned around and retreated when they saw that several of their leaders had died suddenly.

Want to run?

Ember will not let go of the sacrifice. The super high maneuverability of the Mantis Shadow Eater is a little tricky for the platoon and the warhead, but as for Ember, it is easy to deal with.

"Mu la la, ro ham gaaaaah!" (Come on, you brainless idiot)

As soon as he said this, the mocked Mantis Shadow Eater immediately flew towards the embers uncontrollably, and then suffered a brutal blow of destruction, and soon turned into corpses all over the ground, contributing to the embers. It is a qualified sacrifice for [Shadow-Eating Insect Meat].

In addition, Ember also obtained biological tissues classified as rare objects from two four-star mantises, which can be fed to the Gap Pen and used to upgrade the Mantis Lord and related cards, which is an unexpected gain.

"Thank you... for the rescue!"

The embarrassed warrior was no longer embarrassed at this time. After narrowly surviving, he also realized that Yi Yan was not a legendary strongman, but this could not dispel his gratitude to Yi Yan. He leaned on the broken sword and sighed sincerely: "I am in your hands." While roaring, I felt the supreme majesty. You are obviously the chosen one favored by the gods. Alas, if our army had had powerful beings like you back then, we would not have been killed by the Ash Legion under King Xin. The army is completely defeated..."
