At the same time.
Gurgle.
Li Erpang spat out a string of bubbles.
Gurgle.
He spat out another string of bubbles.
"Fat Lord, am I dreaming?"
Li Erpang pinched Ning You's thigh forcefully.
"Are you sure you're not dreaming? Why did you pinch me?"
Ning You's eyebrows twitched.
"Does it hurt?"
"Get lost."
After Ning You, Xiao Chuer, and Li Erpang woke up from a shell bed, they looked at each other and spat out bubbles. They were all dumbfounded.
They never thought that after being swallowed by a giant beast in the sea of clouds, they would face such a strange scene when they woke up.
They were surrounded by water.
The three of them were soaked in water all over.
When they were talking, they kept spitting out bubbles from their mouths, proving that they were really soaked in water. It was not fake at all.
"It should be because of 'this'?"
Xiao Chuer lifted the necklace hanging on her neck.
The necklace was strung with small pearls. At the bottom of the necklace, there was a crystal clear blue crystal. There was a faint light coming from the depths of the crystal.
[Water Repellent Necklace]
[Rarity] D
[Effect] Able to breathe under water.
…
It was a simple and easy-to-understand item.
"Awesome!"
Li Erpang began to look at the surrounding environment.
It was a small room.
The surroundings were filled with crystal-clear water.
On the roof, a crystal lamp with a unique design provided the only light, but it didn't make the room seem dark. Instead, it gave off a strange atmosphere.
The light of the crystal, after being refracted by the water, cast gorgeous colors on the four walls. The scene was like a dream.
The three of them were lying in open shells. When they woke up in the shells, they felt like scallops that were slightly open and wriggling.
There were many coral-shaped decorations on the four walls of the room. There were red, white, and blue decorations, which added a bit of fantasy to the monotonous and simple room.
Xiao Chuer smiled. "To be honest, I like this style of decoration."
"F * ck! Wait! "
Li Erpang suddenly jumped up and spat out a string of bubbles. Then, he took out the communication crystal from [Item].
"That kid didn't react! Don't tell me he's dead? "
Ning You was shocked when he heard this.
He hurriedly took out his communication crystal to confirm.
As expected … Irin's name was dark.
There were only two possibilities. He was either dead or not in the service area.
Not in the service area meant that they were not on the same Giant Divine Beast's back.
"I don't think so."
Ning You quickly threw away this terrible thought. He glanced at the exasperated little Fatso and analyzed in a low voice, "Even … we can survive, there's no reason for him to die so easily. It doesn't make sense. It's definitely impossible. "
Li Erpang wondered, "Why do I feel like you're talking about me?"
Xiao Chuer looked around and stretched her arms and legs, "But where are we now?"
"Water …"
Ning You uttered a word in a low voice.
Xiao Chuer and Ning You suddenly looked at each other and said at the same time, "The giant divine beast of water, Poseidon!"
That day, their Faraday was like a younger brother. Under a wave of terrible bombardment, there was no room for resistance and it was blasted into pieces.
Before the bombardment arrived, Irin had already told them the worst plan.
Jump into the sea.
At the last moment, there was really no other choice.
Ning You, Xiao Chuer, and Li Erpang also jumped.
As expected … the sea of clouds really could not be swam.
The buoyancy in the sea of clouds was extremely weak. Although it was not to the point of free fall, in the sea of clouds, they could not float up and down as they wished like normal swimming. At that time, the three of them were powerless and kept falling in the sea of clouds. The light in front of them was getting darker and darker.
Even Ning You and Xiao Chuer were in despair at that time. They thought they would die in the sea of clouds.
No one dared to witness with their own eyes what kind of scene it was when they fell.
At that time, Ning You felt that it was strange. Why were there only two apostles, a fatty, and a calm looking NPC blacksmith in the clouds? But the protagonist, Irin, and his dog were nowhere to be seen.
When the three of them were in despair, in the darkness, a terrifying black shadow opened its mouth at them.
When they woke up, they were already lying on an open shell, becoming scallops inside.
The three of them understood their situation in the shortest time possible.
"I didn't expect to encounter 'Poseidon' in the vast sea of clouds."
Ning You was very emotional.
He secretly glanced at Li Erpang again.
Could this be another kind of "protagonist aura"?
But this protagonist aura was too scary, right?
Even the "leg hair" beside the protagonist could not die?
Like when a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven?
In such a desperate situation, he could use such a ridiculous method to escape. The protagonist's aura was undoubtedly powerful.
This incident made Ning You and Xiao Chuer even more determined to cling to the protagonist's thigh.
Even if the protagonist was not here now, it was okay to cling to the protagonist's leg hair first.
There was nothing to be ashamed of.
Just when the three of them were having their own thoughts.
There was movement outside the door.
Although it was called a door, it was actually just a piece of green seaweed floating in the water, acting as a barrier.
"You guys are awake!"
In the water, a nimble figure passed through the seaweed and swam in.
His long fishtail and sparkling scales stirred up small turbulence in the room.
Li Erpang suddenly widened his eyes, grinned, and laughed wildly.
"M-mermaid???"
…
…
Irin entered the tower.
There was actually … an "elevator" inside.
Of course, the power was not "electricity", but crystals.
What he saw and heard along the way made Irin seem to return to reality.
Although Irin lost his memory in reality.
Irin's only "cognition" told him that this style was definitely not right in the game world.
But what could he do?
The game company had the final say.
The lousy game producer had the final say.
Taking the "elevator", Irin arrived at the top floor.
In a place similar to a "conference room", Irin saw four old men wearing pointy wizard hats and black robes. They also had long beards.
"Sir Hero, Sir Dog, please sit."
The conference room in front of him was decorated a bit like a large-scale job interview.
Irin and Wang Tiandi looked at each other, both speechless.
Ah Deng looked as if he had just come back from his vacation. Narrowing his eyes, he slowly walked to the four bearded old men and sat down.
The five old men sat in front of Irin.
Their titles were the same as Ah Deng's. They all had the words "Great Engineer", which made them look really awesome.
As for their names …
Irin looked from left to right, then from right to left, and decided to give up the idea of studying these names.
It was not just the names.
The five old men gave Irin the feeling that they were like quintuplets. At a glance, it was impossible to tell who was who.
You might as well be Ah Deng 1, Ah Deng 2, Ah Deng 3, Ah Deng 4, and Ah Deng 5.
"Cough cough. You are back. "
Ah Deng 3, who was sitting in the middle, looked at Ah Deng 1 with a smile.
"Mission complete!"
"Now …"
The five Ah Deng looked at Irin at the same time.
"Ding!"
Instantly.
Above the five heads, a golden exclamation mark popped up.
…
…
[Important Side Mission Accepted: The Great Engineers' Request!]
[Mission Objective: Find and solve the source of Aurora's Crystal Mine's' Crystal Depletion '.]
[Mission Difficulty: SS]
[Mission Time Limit: None]
[Mission Reward: EXP + 200000]
…
It was actually an SS-level Side Mission.
Irin felt helpless.
"Another Side Mission. Why do I feel that we are getting further and further away from the Main Mission?"
Irin complained in a low voice.
Ever since they were chased by that weird player, Irin and the others had been running for their lives and being chased. They did not have time to explore the Main Mission.
Irin had almost forgotten that he still had the 'Hero's Mission' on his shoulders.
"So what if it's a Side Mission? I can just focus on leveling up. When I reach Level 99, I can kill the final boss with one slash. Isn't that safe and satisfying?"
With this thought, Irin's thoughts instantly became clear.
A total of 200,000 experience points. If he could complete it now, Irin would be able to level up a few times.
But obviously, an SS-level Side Mission was not that easy to complete.
Even if Irin's battle style was like cheating, Irin did not dare to be careless.
He only had one life.
Ah Deng followed beside him.
After the mission was announced, the five "Great Engineers" in the Engineering College patted their chests and said that as long as Irin could complete the mission, everything was negotiable and they would help him.
From Ah Deng, Irin understood the background of this mission.
This Great Engineering College could be said to be the source of all crystal technology in this game world.
The engineers who graduated from this school were highly valued by every country on the Giant Divine Beast. Whether it was the construction of airships or other equipment, the engineers who graduated from this school served as technical consultants. Their importance was self-evident.
But Ah Deng said that the Great Engineering College was originally not open to the public.
But for some reason, since ten years ago, the only crystal mine on the Aurora Giant Divine Beast started to produce less and less crystal. In the end, the production could not even maintain the consumption. They could only use the method of "importing" to purchase large amounts of "crystals" from other countries.
And the other countries, including the countries controlled by the Holy See, used this as a price to request the Great Engineering College to provide technical support. So over the years, the Great Engineering College had many "exchange students" from other Giant Divine Beasts. These "exchange students" would return to their own countries after learning the knowledge from the Great Engineering College and serve their motherland.
The five Great Engineers were very anxious about this situation. They could not sleep at night. Their beards had fallen off a lot, and some of them were even bald.
And one day, the dean of the Great Engineering College had a dream.
God "Uranus" sent down a prophecy. It said that one day in the year 333 of the Cloud Calendar, a "hero" from another world would drift here from other Giant Divine Beasts. He would completely solve the crisis of Aurora's energy depletion and bring peace to Aurora.
It was probably such a sad story.
"So it's energy depletion."
After coming out of the conference room, Ah Deng did not even have time to change out of his colorful underwear. Two people and a dog walked in the corridor. Occasionally, engineers of various levels would pass by, and they would all cast strange looks at them.
Ah Deng rubbed his palms and said with a shy face, "I wonder when the hero will leave for the mine?"
Irin rolled his eyes.
Isn't there no time limit?
I'm not in a hurry, so why are you guys in a hurry?
Irin did not answer.
Instead, he asked another question that he was very concerned about.
"You guys … engineering, can I learn it?"
Ah Deng was stunned. He never thought that the hero in the prophecy would be interested in boring engineering.
"Of course."
A moment later.
Ah Deng nodded seriously.
That's right!
Irin nodded with satisfaction.
A proper assassin should work hard to learn engineering.
