players lead the world

Chapter 173 Bar
With doubts, Zhou Ze clicked on Kleiss' character data.

[Kress Kahn: Human, 185cm tall, 138kg in weight, depressed. 】

[Physical strength is 59 points, spiritual energy is 261 points, special skills are 722 points, combat knowledge is 158 points, and carrying equipment is 361 points. 】

[The total basic combat power is 1561 points. 】

[Comprehensive evaluation: 2 stars + game character, with excellent mind and will, good at hiding, sneaking and roundabout combat, excellent skills and superb marksmanship, possessing extraordinary mental power and physical strength due to being infected by the energy of another world. Hence the rapid growth. 】

[This character has 28 bullets. If the bullet reserve is empty, the basic combat power will be reduced by 152 points. 】

"Spiritual energy? Is it extended from spiritual power?"

Zhou Ze was slightly surprised after carefully reading Kleis' data. He didn't expect that mental power could be used as an energy source alone.

Apart from anything else, Kress's physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. It is not known whether other residents of the Lost City have also strengthened their bodies due to the infection of otherworldly energy like him.

Judging from the fact that Kress's living environment here is not very good, we can guess that he is not the only one who has strengthened his physique. Otherwise, with such a strong power, wouldn't he be able to live a life of superiority casually?

"Being infected by the energy of another world, they have far greater power than ordinary people. This is a bit like the awakened people on the earth who have gained special powers due to the resurgence of spiritual energy. Are they also infected by spiritual energy?"

To put it another way, does alien energy have properties similar to aura?

This is a topic worthy of attention.

Of course, Kleis's combat power score is also watery, but it is definitely not as big as Zhou Ze. With his rich combat knowledge, he may not be much weaker than Zhou Ze, who does not have the power of explosive liver and the soul of the player, in actual combat. .

In addition to the skill items owned by the game protagonist, the interface also has an additional option.

[In-app purchase option: given. 】

[Players can temporarily grant their own skills or equipment to game characters by consuming meritorious service. (Only for the current game, only for skills and equipment produced by world games)]

"Oh? There is such an operation!"

He was excited.

He clicked on the in-app purchase.

He was put off by the price.

[Do you want to spend 50 points of merit to give Cress the 'Night Dress'? 】

[Do you want to spend 50 merit points to give the 'Twilight Hat' to Cress? 】

[Do you want to spend 20 points of merit to give Cress the 'illusory mask'? 】

[Do you want to spend 20 points of merit to give Kles the '2-star skill: breath control'? 】

[Do you want to spend 10 points of merit to grant '2-star skill: Abyss Gaze' to Kles? 】

……

Damn it, you need so many merits?
With the feat of adding skills and equipment to the protagonist, wouldn't it be nice if I just summoned a temporary teammate to beat him through the game?
Zhou Ze immediately gave up the idea of ​​giving all his skills and equipment to Kleiss. Unless there is some difficulty and must rely on this method to pass the test, otherwise, there is no way to get a meritorious service from him!

[Current number of free grants: 3 times]

There is such a line of small characters in the lower left corner of the endowment interface.

Oh!Can you prostitute for nothing?

Seeing this line of words, Zhou Ze became interested in granting functions again, but he was not in a hurry to bestow the most valuable items or skills to Kleis immediately, and his attitude was as calm as ever.

The best is not necessarily the most suitable.

Since it can be given for free, it is natural to use this opportunity wisely.

Close the game interface.

He manipulated Kles to go around the dilapidated attic of less than [-] square meters, trying to find hidden objects or clues.

The answer is no.

Apart from a piece of decayed furniture and a dirty window covered in vines, there is no other interactive things in the attic. It seems that the game did not intend to plant any foreshadowing in the early stage.

Equip Kress with the suit and top hat from the inventory, and control him to go down the creaky shabby stairs.

The empty bar in the dream is full of seats in reality.

Some people were standing in front of the bar, smoking and drinking, feeling depressed, some were playing melodious trumpets in the corner, immersed in the sound of their own music, and some were concentrating on throwing darts at the dartboard on the wall of the pub.

The middle-aged man dressed as a bartender stood at the bar, wiping the glass in his hand and looking at the noisy pub with an expressionless face.

Select the bartender, and the interface will pop up with two options [Talk] and [Observation].

Zhou Ze first chose [Observation].

The following string of information popped up on the screen.

[This man with a mustache is named La Notte, the owner and bartender of Old Nott’s Bar. You have lived in his bar for almost three years, and the few precious resources you have have been used for it. If you pay for the room, he will suck everything out of you if he gets the chance. 】

"I've lived here for three years, so I'm really... an old acquaintance."

It is not difficult to see from the observation information that the protagonist, Kles, does not have a good impression of the bar owner. This guy is obviously not a good landlord.

"Good morning, Turtle, this damn darkness is endless, if this can be called morning... What's the matter with all the noise upstairs? Nightmare?"

When the bar owner saw Klaas coming down from the attic, he greeted him warmly and skillfully poured a glass of wine and handed it to him.

But what the hell kind of nickname is 'Turtle'?It doesn't sound like a good word.

The game interface pops up options again.

【①It can be said that...】

【②Can you still distinguish between reality and dreams? 】

【③This has nothing to do with you. 】

"There are quite a lot of dialogue options in the game. Different dialogue options will probably trigger different events, and there may be hidden information."

Zhou Ze thought carefully, and chose the option ② which seemed to have a more mysterious tone.

"Oh, I understand, it turns out that the turtle is still a philosopher..."

The bar owner sneered: "I think my worldview is simpler and more useful. Whether this is a nightmare, reality, or damn hell... the question is, can you die?"

These words just hit Kleis' sore spot, his face moved slightly, his hand holding the wine glass tightened, and a sigh could be faintly heard in the background music.

The bar owner said sharply: "If you can hang yourself, then this world is real enough. Of course, you must be able to hang yourself, my friend... If you plan to give yourself a shot, I am willing to help You one bullet."

Chris laughed at himself: "Heh, persuade me to commit suicide so that I can leave all the cigarettes on my body to you?"

"Maybe I just wanted to persuade you to get out of your misery?"

The bar owner shrugged: "You won't be able to use those things after you die, so why not let me use them... Forget it, pretend I didn't say it, anyway, you, a turtle, don't have the guts to commit suicide. How can you survive in such a ghost place?" My desire to survive has been extremely strong for such a long time.”

Cleese snorted, drank the remaining wine in the glass, and handed the glass back: "Your water is getting worse and worse, why do you add wine to it?"

"Just be grateful for the drink you have... Now that you're awake, why don't you talk about the cigarettes you owe me?"

The bar owner twirled his mustache and smiled like a profiteer: "You drank unconsciously yesterday and didn't pay for it. Let me remind you when you wake up, remember?"

The dialog box pops up again on the screen.

[Option ①: Really?Did I really drink that much?How much do I owe you? 】

[Option [-]: This move is no longer interesting, Lanot. 】

Owing cigarettes?
Zhou Ze in front of the screen was slightly stunned. Does the other party mean to use cigarettes to deduct money, or is the currency of this world cigarettes?

Facing the obvious smirk of the bar owner, it was self-evident which of the two options was correct, and Zhou Ze chose the second without hesitation.

"This trick is no longer interesting, Lanot."

Kress in the game said calmly: "I don't have any bruises on my body. Since I haven't been beaten before, I must have paid the bill."

A prompt box popped up at the top of the screen.

[Reminder: In the Lost City, it is about interests, so don't trust anyone easily. 】

The tavern owner was a little unhappy: "I'm not in the mood to compete with you to see who is more annoying. Anyway, in the end, the cigarettes on your body will be mine. See you next time, turtle."

The conversation is forcibly ended.

"This guy...is really a profiteer."

Zhou Ze manipulates the protagonist to try to continue chatting with the tavern owner.

So far, there has been such an acquaintance. It is obviously easier to obtain information through talking with him. Zhou Ze must first understand this lost city before he can figure out what the protagonist should do next.

　The book will gradually increase in the follow-up: game characters, important supporting roles, temporary teammates, supporting roles and other characters.

　　Readers who join the book friend group can set supporting roles according to their own preferences, add them to the plot of the book, interact with the protagonist or change the direction of the plot... There are also three novels that the author has completed before in the book friend group.
