"Do you want to play the game again?"
Zhang Heng nodded, "I may have a way to help you clear the game."
"I know you want that Grade-B game item, but … with all due respect, although Lego is just a kind of toy, it's too damn difficult to put it together!" Mei Nan exclaimed, "Even a talented person can't become a Lego master in just three days. What's more, we still have a lot of side quests to do, and there won't be much time for you to practice your skills."
"Anyway, according to what you said before, your remaining chances will be wasted if you don't use them. Why don't we try again?"
"If you insist …" Mei Nan shrugged.
Zhang Heng looked at the starfish in his hand, "The time now is 11: 15 p.m. I'm going to make some preparations. Send me the email at 11: 58."
"Okay, what do you need to prepare?"
"I'm going to take a look at the Lego instruction manual."
"…"
Although there was no time limit for the Master Builder quest, one could only move freely for three days. That was because the world would be destroyed after three days. However, Zhang Heng was different. He noticed that the time flow rate of this quest was 480, which meant that if he counted the 24 hours he could stay still, his active time could reach an astonishing 483 days. This was enough for him to improve his Lego assembly skills to a considerable level.
In fact, under normal circumstances, even the most fanatical Lego enthusiasts wouldn't spend more than a year assembling Lego, day and night. Although Zhang Heng had extra game time, it didn't mean that he liked to assemble Lego for 483 days, not to mention that he had to live in a city built by Lego. However, for the sake of a Grade-B game item, these difficulties could be overcome. After all, he survived 520 days alone on a deserted island.
Zhang Heng used the remaining time to search for Lego assembly skills on the Internet. After that, he found a few short videos to watch, giving him a clearer understanding of the level of the top players in the Lego world.
At 11: 58, Mei Nan sent him a new email on time. Zhang Heng closed the other web pages and clicked on the link at the end of the email.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back at South Station. It was still the same Lego roof, the same pie house, and the same electronic signage. The only difference was that Mei Nan had returned to her normal attire this time. She wore a pair of jeans, a sportswear, and a Dodgers baseball cap.
Since she wasn't going home anymore, she didn't dress like she did in high school.
"How's your manual going?"
"Not bad, I just found out that they also released the Overwatch series."
"… Forget it, I'll just take it as showing you the difficulty of this dungeon." Mei Nan sighed. "Follow me, I'll take you to complete the first side quest."
"Don't we have to go to Starbucks to find the bald guy?"
"Don't worry about him. That guy is like chewing gum. When the time comes, even if you don't want to see him, he will appear in front of you on time. In fact, we should have been noticed by him when we appeared at the train station. However, he needs to spend some time to confirm that we are the chosen ones before he comes to talk to us."
Mei Nan said as she walked to the subway entrance. "Let's go. It's faster to take the subway to where we are going."
Half an hour later, the two arrived outside a bar called Metal Rose. Because it was not yet night, the bar looked empty.
The two came to the door, and Mei Nan knocked on the glass door. After a while, a man came from behind and said through the glass, "Sorry, we don't open until six."
"It doesn't matter. We are not here to eat," Mei Nan said. "We are here to find the Demon Butcher."
"Would someone really have such a shameful name?" Zhang Heng asked.
The waiter at the door shook his head. "The name sounds very childish. You should go to the anime city next door."
"No, I'm sure he is here," Mei Nan said. "Tell him that the chosen ones have appeared."
The waiter's expression immediately changed when he heard this. "Wait a minute," he said.
Less than two minutes later, he returned, and his tone became much more respectful. "The Demon Butcher asked you to prove that you are the chosen ones first."
"I was stuck at this stage the first time I came here," Mei Nan said to Zhang Heng. However, with her previous experience, she had become very familiar with the process. She easily dismantled the flower beds and bicycles by the roadside and assembled them into a motorcycle.
During this period, the waiter kept looking at the timer in his hand. When Mei Nan finished her work, he pressed the timer. "Three minutes and twenty-four seconds. Not bad." He then turned his attention to Zhang Heng. "What about you?"
"Do I have to do it too?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"In theory, one person can prove your identity, but the Demon Butcher wants to see your respective potential," the waiter said.
"Okay." Zhang Heng glanced around to see if there were any usable parts, then squatted down. He spent less time than Mei Nan, completing the assembly in less than two minutes, surprising the waiter behind the glass door.
However, when he saw Zhang Heng's masterpiece, he was speechless for a long time.
"… What the hell is this? A French bread with a fish tail? What did you do before this? An abstract artist or a performance artist? "
"Actually, this is a sword, and the fish tail is the handguard," Zhang Heng said.
"Uh … Is my imagination not good enough? But it doesn't matter. Anyway, we already have the chosen one here. Just treat it as a buy-one-get-one-free bonus." The waiter finally opened the bar door. "You are looking for the master builder, the Demon Butcher? Congratulations, you have found him. I am. "
The waiter puffed out his chest when he spoke, but unfortunately, he didn't receive any surprised looks.
"Even if it's a surprising suspense movie, it's hard to find anything new after watching it a few times," Mei Nan said.
"Are all the master builders in this world so arrogant?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Of course not," a serious voice said, "I am not that kind of person."
The bald man suddenly appeared behind Zhang Heng and Mei Nan like a ghost, staring at them with bright eyes. "I have finally found you, the chosen ones. The survival of the world rests on your shoulders."
"Mobile Arsenal?" The waiter frowned. "I thought you died three years ago. I didn't expect you to still be alive."
"It's not that easy for a master builder to die," the bald man said lightly, but then added, "Of course, except for those who have died."
