Strange Era: An Exclusive Talent Every Month

Chapter 146 The First Gathering at Chengxin Restaurant

The twisted black shadow on the ground swayed for a moment like a reflection in the water, and slowly condensed into the outline of a figure in a tuxedo.

Although Bai Chen had just appeared, he looked like he had been waiting here for a long time.

Under the black hood, the angular British face was slightly raised, and the brown eyes reflected the plaque above the store, which read "Integrity Restaurant".

In addition, Miko stood beside him with a painted oil-paper umbrella.

Her eyes seemed to be looking at something around.

Chenxi came to the door and her eyes fell on the words on the rule notice:

"Integrity... In other words, when entering the restaurant, you need to keep the content of the communication honest?"

Compared with Bai Chen's coffee shop, these rules made her feel more secure.

After all, Bai Chen's rules require that the information be true. Even if you tell everything you know honestly, if the information you discover is incorrect, it is likely to have an adverse effect on yourself.

Maybe...

You will become the food of the devil.

And the "Integrity Restaurant" obviously has no similar restrictions.

The door of the shop opened automatically, and Chen Ye's voice came from inside:

"You're welcome, come in."

Chen Xi and several other players entered Chen Ye's restaurant with two high-ranking elders of the Sea God Clan.

They looked around Chen Ye's shop with curiosity.

After all, most players cannot own real estate in the Polluted Paradise, so they can't help but feel curious about it.

"Just find a place to sit."

Chen Ye smiled and greeted the guests, while his eyes fell on Mizi.

He found that Mizi seemed to be activating the same spiritual power and communicating with a certain existence in the shop...

After a while, Yu Xian hid in the ceiling of the shop and looked at Mizi.

Mizi glared at the guy, but when she saw that the other party didn't come down, she secretly glanced at Chen Ye with her peripheral vision, and her expression became a little weird.

"So you're here for that little coward." Chen Ye glanced at Mizi, saw her actions, and laughed in his heart.

It's not difficult to judge that Mizi also has similar spiritual power and can communicate with the existence of the spirit world.

But she obviously didn't have the characteristics similar to [Devil's Cuisine], so she couldn't sacrifice the soul of the devil, and naturally couldn't redeem Yuxian.

What's more, food seems to have a stronger attraction to the existence of the spirit world.

They also have a need for food, but it is not a need for survival, but a more "profit-oriented" need.

Eating these foods can bring some benefits to the existence of the spirit world.

Even if Miko appeared in person, Yuxian just hid behind the crossbeam of the shop, shaking his head constantly, as if rejecting the thoughts conveyed by Miko.

Considering that there were several outsiders such as Chenxi on the scene, Chen Ye did not intervene in this "dialogue in the spirit world" for the time being.

He looked around and saw that everyone had found a seat and sat around the long table. He nodded slightly and said:

"Let's get started. Recently, everyone should have made some progress and gains in intelligence."

"In the Honesty Restaurant, I hope everyone can communicate frankly."

"You can exchange the latest intelligence."

Bai Chen crossed his legs, with an interesting look on his face, and was the first to speak:

"Regarding those missing players, I went to the dock to investigate the information and found something interesting."

Everyone looked at Bai Chen in unison.

At present...

The group of missing players, presumably became sacrifices of the [Dragon God Festival], naturally received the greatest attention.

It concerns the life and death of all players in this city, and affects the living space of everyone present.

Bai Chen began to narrate:

"I sensed that there was a breath of 'door' opening near the dock."

"As for the 'door'..."

"You should know that this broken game once had a spiritual world copy that was always said to be launched, right?"

Chenxi and others fell into deep thought.

In contrast, Chen Ye's eyes were calmer. Compared with other players, he had even unlocked the second-level profession of this sequence.

When Bai Chen said this, his eyes unconsciously stayed on Chen Ye for a moment, and then continued to explain:

"The spirit world can be regarded as a new copy everywhere. In the invisible places around, there are countless beings that do not belong to this world, watching us in every corner."

"But in some special areas, there is a special intersection between the spirit world and this world, with corresponding sequences, which can shuttle between the two worlds."

When Bai Chen finished this sentence, Chenxi and others suddenly felt a chill in their backs, as if there was a hidden gaze behind them, watching them...

They all thought of the deep existences in the Blue Mountain Cafe!

Chenxi immediately reacted and asked, "Then you have similar characteristics."

Bai Chen showed a slightly regretful look, his eyes unconsciously revealed envy, and glanced at Chen Ye. He shook his head and spread his hands:

"To be honest, I also want to have similar characteristics, but unfortunately... I just happen to have an employee in the store who can control this characteristic."

The players immediately reacted.

It turns out that Mizi has similar characteristics and can help Bai Chen obtain special information channels.

But her identity is not a player, but an aboriginal.

And one of the rules of playing [Dancer] is to respect the market, respect the boss, and respect the customers...

Therefore, as the new owner of the coffee shop, Bai Chen still has a certain degree of control over Mizi.

Mizi next to him noticed the gazes of the crowd and smiled professionally.

However, the eyes of Chenxi and other players fell on Chen Ye at the same time.

They all realized that it was not just Mizi, it was very likely that Chen Ye also had similar characteristics.

It might even unlock a complete profession!

"Since there is a breath of the opening of the gate to the spirit world, it means that the real location of this festival is likely to be at the junction of the two worlds."

The leader of the Sea God Clan, who had been silent all the time, rarely spoke:

"It has been many years since our clan held the [Dragon God Festival], but the Sea God Clan still has stories about the festival."

"Legend has it that the festival is held in a world belonging to the dead, and you need to take a ghost ship to go there."

"In those days, only the witches who were specially trained with secret methods could control the ghost ship and reach another world."

"Therefore, if you want to go to the place where the festival is held, you may need a ghost ship to find the real island."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

They didn't expect things to become more complicated.

Not only do you have to make a ship, but you also have to build a ghost ship...

It's very difficult!

Matthew said, "But fortunately, the president of our production association has completed the task of this month and just unlocked the manufacturing drawings of the ghost ship."

"Thanks to the power of Chenxi, we have communicated with many players and used holy water for replacement to collect all these materials."

"But the hull of the ghost ship needs to be made of a strange tree..."

Speaking of this.

Matthew's tone suddenly paused, and said: "This kind of tree needs to have a part of consciousness..."

"Consciousness?"

Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly and fell into deep thought.

To produce "consciousness", not only includes emotions, but also requires advanced emotions, such as thinking, wisdom, and personality.

What kind of tree can have consciousness?

I always feel that this kind of thing seems to be not completely without impression...

Suddenly, Chen Ye suddenly remembered that when he went to Yong'an Market before, the artist who sold the head fruit once said that as long as this fruit is planted...

Next year, you can harvest a lot of heads!

This kind of fruit is planted by a tree!

A tree with consciousness!

The faceless children of the Lin family can unlock new personality masks for [Painted Skin] through the human head fruit grown on the tree.

This means that the fruit produced by this tree is likely to have "consciousness".

If I go to Yong'an Market again and find the artist, maybe I can ask where I can buy this kind of tree in large quantities?

After he suddenly realized it, he looked at Matthew and said in a deep voice:

"I know where to get this kind of tree, and I hope to get a lot of it..."

There was obviously a bit of surprise in the eyes of everyone looking at Chen Ye.

They thought that finding a tree with consciousness and gathering enough materials to build a ship would be extremely difficult at this stage!

It was almost an impossible task.

So Chen Ye already had a solution in his hand?

This is too coincidental!

"Can you get so many materials?" Matthew asked a little unbelievably.

"Although I'm not sure, I know there is a channel, maybe I can ask."

Chen Ye calmed down and spoke calmly.

Since the appearance of the Polluted Paradise, it is unknown whether Yong'an Market can still open normally.

But the artist's shop is located in the Silver Coin Field and is relatively stable...

Maybe we can go and ask.

Other players did not ask more questions, they knew that this involved the player's exploration progress and privacy.

Matthew smiled, and his serious and stern face became relaxed:

"I thought this matter would become very troublesome, but if you have a way, it would be great."

It is really good... so good that I just happened to get the relevant information... Chen Ye smiled silently, even he did not expect that the answer to this problem would be found so smoothly, hidden in the seemingly careless conversation when exploring Yong'an Market last time.

The topic of the ghost ship stopped here, Chen Ye changed the topic, looked at Chenxi and said:

"How is the matter of Von Lucius?"

Chenxi pondered for a moment, and then told the whole story of following the El-Melloi Holy Church to the cemetery today, opening the holy coffin, and finding that Lucius's body was fake, and the clown's mocking mask was left behind.

Hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

According to the rules of the cemetery, non-church clergy cannot enter at will.

Otherwise, they will violate the rules on the stone tablet and be punished by Lieyang.

However, what is the origin of the clown? Not only did he switch Lucius's body to fake it, but he also stuffed the blood-colored bugs that appeared in Xijiang recently into it, leaving behind a clown mask.

This is rubbing the face of the church under his feet!

However, he dared to do this and succeeded...

It means that the real clown hiding behind the scenes has more powerful means, and even dares to provoke the Lieyang Church!

Chen Ye couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Obviously, Northrend is not the real clown. He just wore a clown mask that day and possessed several characteristic items of this sequence, so he could show similar abilities.

When in the bloody building, the clown who appeared on the bloody crystal membrane and could control Miss Puppet was obviously not the same as Northrend.

Northrend was standing on the edge of the rooftop, and was almost the same batch of cannon fodder as the other masked clowns!

But the real clown's identity is more mysterious, and he may be a native of the middle and high sequence.

Chen Ye unlocked the [Lucky Pitcher] and knew that there was another way to the fate sequence.

That clown... could it be a native of the fate sequence?

Chenxi slowed down and said:

"Miss Puppet has been taken to the church now and is receiving purification treatment from the priest. It will probably take some time for her to wake up."

"The recent Fiery Sun Church has issued a wanted order to clear the paradise and find the clown hidden deep inside."

"So..."

"Recently, the church will launch many actions around the paradise."

Speaking of this, Chenxi paused, and his eyes fell on Chen Ye and Bai Chen.

If the church has many actions in the park, it means that their real estate in the park may be impacted by unstable factors.

Bai Chen didn't say anything and looked indifferent.

Chen Ye lowered his head and thought. Compared with the instability of the park, he was more concerned about when Miss Puppet would wake up and whether he could get information about the clown from her.

Xiao Ai looked around for a few times and found that she seemed to be the only one who didn't speak much among the people present.

However, in this gathering of big guys, as a trembling newbie, there seems to be no information worth mentioning. I can only bring out the information gathered in the water forum recently to show my presence:

"Recently, players in the inner city have also reported that some inland rivers that are not connected to the West River have been polluted."

"Now the polluted area is getting bigger and bigger. I am afraid we have to cut it off from the source."

"The disputes among players are more serious than before. Recently, I heard that a large-scale fighting tragedy occurred..."

"In addition, there are many more strange stories in the forum. In some special places, doing specific things is likely to bring death to oneself."

"It feels that the world is becoming more and more unpeaceful!"

These words made everyone present fall into silence, and the atmosphere was slightly heavy.

What Xiao Ai said is actually not completely worthless.

In addition to the fact that the West River is still expanding its pollution...

Every corner of this city is quietly changing.

Chen Ye gathered the information that everyone had said in his mind, combined with the recent intelligence at hand, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly:

"I roughly understand these things."

"For now, let's first solve the manufacturing materials needed for the ghost ship. Once I have news, I will contact Matthew."

"Regarding the church, be more careful recently..."

"Let's end today's meeting here!"
