"So that's the case." Xing Ye realized after listening to Old Nick, "Did Master Benedict make a puppet belonging to his son?"
"This is not clear." Old Nick shook his head. "Master Benedict kept himself in the workshop in the later period, and no longer let me touch the puppets he made. I don't know if he made new ones during that time. Puppets."
Xing Ye said: "Okay, I understand everything. Finally, I have one more question. Can I help you?"
"Huh? Do you want to help me? Our debt has been paid off." Old Nick said puzzled.
Xing Ye: "Although the debt has been paid off, I am very grateful for your care for me over the years and hope to help you. And you know that I want to change to a new puppet body. If I can find Master Benedict, I will There is hope, so I also want to help you achieve your goals. After all, you are very familiar with the master, maybe you can persuade him to help me."
When he said that, Old Nick believed it. There are no selfless puppets in Puppet City these days. Xing Ye has a purpose to make him feel at ease.
Xing Ye said again: "But let's say it first, we were able to escape this time because of the cover of private soldiers sent by the city lord, otherwise, with our strength, we will definitely die if we encounter a new type of robot."
"Have you not directly contacted Master Benedict? Who modified her body?" Old Nick asked Cao Qian.
Cao Qian: "No one reforms, I'm just born with great strength and fast speed."
Old Nick: "..."
Who believes it!
Seeing that Old Nick didn't believe him, Cao Qian asked him to check her body. In order to study the techniques of Master Benedict, Cao Qian carefully tested Cao Qian, but found nothing. He helped Cao Qian weld it a few days ago. The iron sheet is exactly the same.
Old Nick, who had found nothing, said confusedly: "I have something here. You can try it. Maybe it will work for the robot. After you enter the mine, you can try to use it to interfere with the robot's signal. It is possible. Let them stop attacking."
He handed a remote control to Xing Ye. Xing Ye accepted it and asked, "If we find Master Benedict, what shall we do?"
Old Nick paused as if running out of oil, and said after a long time: "Just say... whatever the master wants to do, I will fully support the master."
Xing Ye grinned, showing a chin-like smile.
"Okay, let's prepare today, add oil and supplement life energy, and set off tomorrow morning." Xing Ye said, "Uncle Nick, can you help us check if life energy is sufficient?"
Old Nick also needs to use Xing Ye and others, of course he will not refuse. He was full of energy for Xing Ye, Cao Qian and Guanling. When Old Nick wanted to charge the mirror, the mirror waved his hand to indicate that he had just charged.
Old Nick just noticed the mirror that had been leaning against the wall like a background board. He was taken aback for a moment and said: "I haven't seen a puppet like yours in the city. It's all metal. Puppet City. Even if there is a tin man, there are still some wooden parts on his body."
"He is a friend I met outside the city. He didn't spend much time in the city before, so you haven't seen him." Xing Ye stood in front of the mirror and protected the two-meter mirror with a one-meter body.
"Really?" Old Nick also smiled, his expression is much more vivid than Xing Ye's.
After laughing, Old Nick suddenly said: "By the way, your raw ore was obtained in an illegal mine, and it is not convenient to use in the city. I need this kind of high-purity raw ore even more when I supplement energy. You can see it. So, I will use ordinary ore in exchange for your ore, so that you can pay off your debts and oil."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Nick."
Xing Ye handed the sack to Old Nick. After a while, Old Nick counted him a thousand raw ore, and also gave him a trolley and box so that he could transport the raw ore.
Xing Ye got rid of poverty all at once and became rich.
After biding farewell to Old Nick, Xing Ye first put part of the raw ore in Guanling's belly, and locked the remaining part in his small warehouse for storage.
"In a while, we will pay for the debts and purchases," Xing Ye said. "You will be fooled by me, so that everyone will not doubt the source of my ore, otherwise it will attract people. doubt."
Guanling is the son of Old Nick. Of course he is not short of money. It is very suitable for him to take advantage of him.
Xing Ye first went to the engine oil shop to pay back the money, and then put the top-quality engine oil on himself and the mirror. Cao Qian also enjoyed it once.
Then went to wind up and buy clothes and shoes. After a morning passed, Xing Ye and the mirror became clean.
Especially for the mirror, the mirror surface is polished shiny, and the oil shop owner also knows a little bit about the technique of adding parts, and helped the mirror adjust the joints and neck to make him more flexible.
The mirror chose a long cloak for himself, covering his huge belly, which looked mysterious and cool. He is a handsome mirror again!
After cleaning themselves, at Xing Ye's order, they divided into two groups to find the QR code.
The two rebellious players were very self-aware and knew that they were impossible to find, so they kept a group of them, Guanling Cao Qian, and Mirror Xing Ye.
One afternoon is enough time for four people to go through the city.
Xing Ye is in charge of the south of the city, and Guanling and Cao Qian are in charge of the north.
The City Lord's Mansion is just south of the city, and Xing Ye also wanted to inquire about the news by the way. Although there is no blood relationship, the city owner's son disappeared out of thin air, and the city owner did not know what measures to take.
All the information now points to the city lord as a bad puppet, but Xing Ye does not want to jump to a conclusion. He needs to see the city lord with his own eyes to make a judgment.
In front of the City Lord's Mansion is the largest square in the Puppet City. Young people often hold evening parties here at night, and the annual harvest festival is also held here.
There is a fountain in the center of the square, which is constantly spraying water outside, which is very beautiful.
It is said that this is the fountain square built by the city lord with his puppets after Master Benedict left.
Even without Benedict, the residents of Puppet City have gradually become creative because of their human nature and learning ability.
Regularly replenish the residents of the original ore institutions, fountain squares, limited mining of mines, and strict control at the gates. From these aspects, regardless of personality and other factors, from the perspective of management alone, this is a qualified city owner .
He led the residents of Puppet City to make this place better when the Creator had abandoned the Puppet City.
"Sure enough, you can't just look at the surface. This world is not black and white, good and bad are relative." Xing Ye stood in front of the fountain and said to the mirror.
The mirror took a closer look at the bottom of the fountain and said to Xing Ye: "Look!"
When Xing Ye lowered his head, the spouts at the bottom of the fountain were connected together, it turned out to be in the shape of a QR code!
Xing Ye couldn't see the full picture of the QR code and couldn't remember it. He could only scan it with his hand ring and put it away. After scanning, the shape of the fountain changed and the QR code disappeared.
Only oneself can see the picture of the bracelet. Xing Ye clicked on the bracelet, and a QR code appeared in the sky, and wrote a brief introduction: This is a fountain built by the city lord and the residents, and it is a puppet who matures from the creator. symbols of.
The introduction of two-dimensional codes is always so confusing, and there is no use at all.
But based on Xing Ye's experience, the ability to hide such a deep QR code must be very special.
The first floor of the City Lord's Mansion is open to the public, and the laws of the Puppet City are pasted in the lobby. The puppets can file a lawsuit through legal provisions, but they need to turn in the original mine. Due to the high cost of filing a complaint, the puppets usually resolve trivial matters privately, while major matters will be resolved by the sheriff.
It seems that it is not good enough for the people, but it is a good thing for the era of backward productivity and understaffed people. Reduce the workload of government officials, let residents learn civil mediation, and avoid unreasonable incidents. Those who are really victims will not care about the complaint fees of the two raw ore, and will not delay major events.
After reading the legal provisions of the Puppet City, Xing Ye felt that although it was not perfect, he had been very careful. He also posted it where all the puppets could see it to popularize legal knowledge for the puppets.
No wonder that nothing major happened in this puppet city full of lies, thanks to the city owner's series of policies.
Although he didn't see the city lord's puppet, Xing Ye also collected enough information that he knew how to carry out activities.
The question that needs to be resolved is where are the other two obedient players and who are the puppets who can't tell lies? Why do you want to realize his wish? Is he related to Benedict, is it a puppet made by the master for his son?
Xing Ye wanted to leave the fountain to find a QR code elsewhere, but saw Randy and Lin Da together through the fountain.
These two people?
Lin Da is a Buddhist player who just wants to live steadily. How could she get involved with Randy?
Xing Ye remembered the fate of the city lord's son, remembered Lin Da's uncontested mentality, and walked towards them.
"Randy, I haven't seen you in a few days, do you have any new clues to share?" Xing Ye walked to them and said directly.
The big mirror in the cloak supported him.
Seeing that Xing Ye Randy's face was not so good, he still remembered these players who were thinking about taking advantage of them, and they were unwilling to pay or take risks, which was really disgusting.
If he could freely use the QR code and initial skills, he would have already turned these eyesore into points.
Lin Da saw Xing Ye and felt a little scared when she thought of the threat that day. But she didn't like Randy too much, and stepped back, avoiding the two tit-for-tat.
Seeing that she didn't mean to be bewitched by Randy, Xing Ye was a little relieved.
He is not a good person, but if the person who was taken away by the pocket watch would really die, Xing Ye would not sit back and watch such things happen under his nose. Fortunately, Lin Da herself was defensive and should not step into the trap, Xing Ye didn't plan to be troublesome.
Seeing Lin Da leaving, Randy was a little upset. He said to Xing Ye, "I have nothing new. Where is your side?"
"Neither." Xing Ye said nonsense with his eyes open. "Raw ore is very useful. You can see that I changed my clothes and oiled my body, making my body more flexible. It's a pity that the Puppet City weapon control, otherwise you can buy some weapons. that's nice."
The last sentence is true. Xing Ye has experienced almost all the poverty of his life these days.
"Really?" Randy looked at the glasses weirdly and said to Xing Ye, "Would you like to talk about your mirror."
Threatening Xing Ye with a mirror, Xing Ye naturally can't be coerced by him, and calmly said: "If you have any words, just say it here. The fountain is so loud that outsiders can't hear us."
"Really?" Randy looked at the mirror and said, "You said before that he was a submissive player, but there are eight players in this world, 5 submissive, plus 6 mirrors. It's really strange, why are there more What about a player?"
Randy has found two other obedient players, but they have never encountered them. don't know if they are friends or enemies, and whether they are hostile.
Xing Ye stood in front of the mirror, thinking that if he fights, he only has a QR code he has just found, his ability is unknown, and the redrawing pen skill is too long to gain the upper hand.
It is not easy to solve by force.
As if he felt Xing Ye's hostility, Randy said, "Don't be so nervous, I have no malice. I just accidentally guessed the identity of the bronze mirror man. He is a prop made by a submissive player, right?"
Xing Ye did not admit or deny, but stared at Randy.
Randy continued: "You don't seem to know that the items turned into by submissive players can be used and are very capable. In the advanced world, many rebellious players have submissive items. Of course, this is only a rebellious item. Players know that we will definitely not tell poor obedient players that the higher their lucky value, the worse they will become in the future, and the convenience provided by the system requires interest."
"He is a player, not a prop." Xing Ye said calmly, but his anger was already burning.
"Whatever you say, if you want to know the usage of Shunde props, you can come to me and I will tell you." Randy said, "By the way, if the Lin Da just continues to do this task, it will be soon It will become a prop."
After leaving a thorn in Xing Ye's heart, Randy turned and left.
When the mirror heard such shocking news, the whole person became stupid and stood behind Xing Ye blankly.
Seeing this look in the mirror, Xing Ye knew that they could no longer find the QR code, so he took his hand and pulled him back to the small warehouse.
At this time, Cao Qian and Guanling hadn't returned yet, Xing Ye closed the doors and windows, and took a mirror into the room to rest.
After the mirror was alone with Xing Ye, he cried out with a "wow", he had no tears, but he could howl.
The voice is still so milky, it sounds very sad.
Xing Ye couldn't comfort people. He was not as big as a mirror. He could hug him with his arms. He could only hug one arm of the mirror with his short hands and wait quietly for him to cry enough.
"Uuuuu, when I was in the advanced world, I passed the level very fast, and my luck was also very good. The rebellious camps that lost to me were defeated by me, but I was not angry. Everyone was smiling, but they were all watching me. Is it lively? They knew that I would become a prop, and they all bullied me, oh oh..." The little mirror was so angry that he hit the wall with his head and made a "pop" sound.
"I don't look at you that way." Xing Ye comforted dryly.
"I know, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu cried the mirror cried and cried and said, "You are a good person, and help me see my parents."
"It's just a matter of effort." Xing Ye patted the mirror's hand.
"I'm still lucky enough to meet you," the mirror said, wiping away the non-existent tears, a little sad and a little relieved, "If I become that pocket watch, I must kill people involuntarily. I would rather never recover myself. ."
Although this is only a guess at the moment, out of trust in Xing Ye, the mirror already feels that it is inseparable.
Xing Ye looked at the crying mirror without tears, and suddenly said, "My player number is X8205."
"Huh? Why do you say this? The serial number cannot be casually known. In case the other party has a special item, you can check your personal information through the serial number. How many QR codes do you have, what initial skills, how many points, and how many experiences? The world, even in the real world, can know who the last name is and where you live." The mirror suddenly forgot to cry and reminded.
Xing Ye was worried that he would receive system warnings for asking questions that shouldn't be asked. He could only lead the mirror to say it himself. Seeing the mirror did not understand, he said: "The letter in front is X."
"Oh, that's the faction letter, X is a rebellious player, S is a compliant player, and I am S6666, which is a particularly smooth number." said the mirror.
S... Xing Ye still remembers that on the day he entered the game, the Black and White Rubik's Cube told him that he scanned the personal information of player Xing Shuo with the number S7903 to enter the QR code world. Xing Shuo's number starts with S.
He is a submissive player.
Randy said that surrender players will eventually become props, whether it is actively through to the final level, or as passive as Lin Da.
Many rebellious players in the advanced world know this, but they don't say that they have been watching the jokes of submissive players.
The little puppet clenched his fists involuntarily.
"Don't worry, you will never be a prop, you are my companion." Xing Ye promised.
Mirror feels much better. He is not actually sad for himself, but for the pocket watch that has become a prop, and more obedient players.
They just chose the lighter camp when they entered the game. Is this wrong? Why treat them like this?
Mirror didn't understand why the game did this, let alone where they would go.
Are there really people who have completely cleared the customs? If so, what will he get?
Xing Ye knew that no matter how many promises were, they were nothing but pale words. He could only whisper: "Don't give up hope."
If possible, he really wants to ask the black and white Rubik's Cube, what is the point of organizing such a game of playing with people?
It was not until dark that Cao Qian and Guanling came back. Guanling said excitedly as soon as he entered the door: "Boss, I found two QR codes, I'm great!"
Xing Ye looked at Guanling, nodded slightly, took a piece of paper and a parchment he handed over, and wrote the QR code in his heart.
"Guanling, why did you choose the obedient camp?" Xing Ye asked suddenly.
"I, isn't this a good bet?" Guanling scratched his head embarrassedly. "I just want to be lucky and ask for a favor."
"Really?" Xing Ye said lightly.
Such a simple reason.
Is it wrong for people whose life is unsatisfactory to be a little luckier and happier?
Cao Qian waited for a while and saw that Xing Ye didn't ask her why she chose the rebellious camp, she proactively said: "I just see the word fate not pleasing to the eye. Since I was young, my relatives said that I was not lucky and my life was bad, regardless of me. They will repeat this sentence whenever they encounter something in their lives. So when choosing, I instinctively rejected the lucky option, and worked specifically with fate."
Xing Ye didn't actually want to ask her about her thoughts, but Cao Qian said, and he responded with an "um".
