Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

"Arasaka?"

A name that surprised Li You came out of Mann's mouth.

"That's right!" Mann nodded heavily, "It depends on whether you have the courage, newcomer!"

Li You thought for a while this time. When it comes to Arasaka, the local tyrant of Night City, it's not the time to show off yourself. You have to understand the details of the commission and evaluate the subsequent impact.

After a while, he asked the first question: "Why did you find me for such a big job?"

"Hey, I didn't expect that you care most about this. You are really cautious." Mann pulled down his sunglasses, revealing his blue pupils.

"Why do you think that is?"

Li You went over in his mind what he had done and the connections he had established in Night City, and finally guessed: "...Introduction by a middleman?"

"...Hahaha!" Mann laughed, "You guessed it right!"

"That's what happened. I just said that the middleman Mr. Faraday has a big job to deal with Arasaka. I can't tell you the details yet, but he said that just a few of us are not enough, so we need to find a few more reliable teammates!"

Mann looked over with a sharp gaze: "And you are one of the candidates provided by Mr. Faraday."

"Although I had no interest in a novice like you, after looking at the information, I found that you happened to be the guy mentioned by Sasha and Rebecca, so I asked you to meet him.

"I originally thought that if I didn't like it, I could just give him something and send him off."

"I see, so it seems that I passed the interview. "Li You didn't find it strange. They wanted to take down Arasaka, so it was normal for them to meet in advance to test their strength.

As for leaking secrets? Mann only said that he was going to take down Arasaka, without revealing a single word. In the bars where the mercenaries gathered, there were countless drunkards shouting "Take down Arasaka" every day. Even if he wanted to leak secrets, it would be useless.

"So it means that it's not time to reveal the answer yet?" Li You asked.

"Well, it's just a meeting for now, to discuss things." Mann took a sip of wine, "If you are interested, we will tell you when we officially convene. If not, you can leave now."

"I see, that makes sense. "Li You hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, he didn't really want to go to Arasaka right now. Apart from anything else, he hadn't even completed the small goal he had set before, which was to organize his own ability system. It was a bit hasty for him to go and cause trouble for one of the biggest local snakes in Night City.

But he didn't know whether this commission was caused by the butterfly effect caused by his arrival.

After all, since he saved Sasha, the world line has changed. If he doesn't go this time, will there be any accidents with Mann's team?

Li You didn't think about saving all these people. To be a mercenary in Night City, to put it bluntly, you have to die sooner or later. The only difference may be who you die at.

Is it an accidental killing during a dispute with other mercenaries, or being slaughtered after angering the gang, or being affected by the footsteps of a behemoth like the company, and dying worthlessly. Roadside? No one knows.

For Mann's team, perhaps dying for what they deserved was a more expected outcome than being rescued by him.

But...

Li You turned his head slightly and looked at Sasha next to him. The little girl was looking at him expectantly, but when she noticed his gaze, she quickly turned her head to the side.

Rebecca noticed this scene, and the veins on her forehead jumped. She gave Li You a middle finger at an angle that Sasha couldn't see.

"This is really..." Li You raised a slightly helpless smile at the corner of his mouth and shook his head slightly.

There was no way, Mann's team was sitting in front of him, especially Sasha and Rebecca.

He rescued Sasha personally, and Rebecca also helped him open up the network of middlemen. No matter what, Li You couldn't just watch them plunge into a dangerous place and remain indifferent.

So he answered decisively: "Okay, I'll join. Contact me when the time comes. "

Hearing his promise, Sasha's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face. Although Rebecca didn't show any obvious expression, she was also relieved.

"Hahaha, good! That's it!"

Mann slapped the table with his hand: "We still need a few days to prepare, and we will contact you when the time comes. If you have any trouble during this period, you can also come to us! You know who to contact."

As he said, Mann glanced at Sasha, but found that Sasha didn't notice his eyes at all, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Li You: "...Okay."

After the discussion, Mann said that their team still had some things to discuss, so Li You left the bar room and walked back along the riverside road.

Halfway, Edge suddenly called him: "Li You, lend me something when you go back."

"Hmm?" Li You looked at her, "What is it?"

Aiji glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "The wooden mailbox that can send letters across the world. I want to write a letter to Claire and Kara, you are not allowed to read it. "

Li You: "???"

...

After that, Li You was busy organizing his power system.

He counted all the props and put them away in different categories so that they could be taken out when needed.

At the same time, he also carefully studied the props that he had only briefly read the item descriptions before, trying to explore their true uses, and he did make some discoveries.

He examined his own attributes. Counting the equipment bonus, the current five major attributes are: strength 24, agility 21, intelligence 19, perception 17, spirit 21.

...Not enough!

System, add points!

I'll tear up two full-attribute skill books!

In addition, he repeatedly tested the enhancement options that had been unlocked long ago but had never been used, and planned the weapons that needed to be enhanced.

At the same time, Li You also found that the wooden mailbox in Sky Province should indeed be taken out. He also had to write a few letters and send some things out.

By the way, Aggie really wrote a letter to Claire and Kara.

Li You: "..."

Whatever.

Li You was busy until noon the next day, and it was hard to make everything look roughly. But after having a simple lunch with Sasha and Rebecca, he immediately drove to the Stone Ridge Mountain in the Badlands.

——Afternoon, outside the abandoned bar in Stone Ridge Mountain.

Four sensory night demons dressed in night ghost costumes, holding various guns, stood neatly at the door of the bar, waiting for Li You's "inspection".

In the underground cave, the first batch of twelve night demons have been fully formed and will be born soon.

At that time, it will be the time for the core of the night demon nest to be upgraded again.

At the same time, Li You just had some ideas to try, so he came to the deserted Stone Ridge Mountain. There were only them and the night demons here, which was the best experimental site.

For the four sensory night demons, Li You simply looked at their respective situations, and then sent them out, asking them to find a way to repair the equipment of the substation and restore power supply to this area.

These four sensory night demons were all transformed from night ghosts. In other words, their predecessors were criminals among wanderers, so they also had knowledge in this area, and it was not a big problem to simply repair the substation. But now they lack tools, so they have to find a way.

The night demons left, and Li You waved his hand and released a two-meter-tall puppet statue.

This is a humanoid puppet with grayish-white skin, wearing a close-fitting dark golden armor, but only a pair of deep eyes on the face, and no other organs.

This puppet is also a new thing that Li You just tried out.

The method is very simple. First, the main body is a miniature bronze giant, then put Midas's golden armor on it, and then put the Eye of Medusa into the eye socket, and it will automatically change.

[Faceless Puppet (Unfinished)]

[Item Description: A humanoid puppet composed of objects of specific properties, which can understand the simplest command actions, but needs to be manually replenished with energy. It is currently in a broken state, and more functions have not been unlocked. ]

These props with full ancient Greek characteristics can actually be spliced ​​together. This is something Li You didn't expect. He just felt a vague resonance when he held them.

But this puppet is still incomplete and needs more parts. The lion skin belt can be used, but it is not as good as the other items, which are a bit useless. Li You is reluctant to give it up.

So he put away the belt and took out other similar items to try.

"This one doesn't work, this one doesn't work either... huh? This one works!"

Li You took a look and found that the one that resonated with him was the white ape suit obtained in the world of Sekiro - the equipment that added a heavy stroke to his black history. If it weren't for trying, Li You might never take it out.

It's just right to use it as a sacrifice.

After putting in the white ape suit, the puppet was further improved, and the prompt showed that it only lacked a core.

However, Li You searched through his backpack for this core and couldn't find a suitable item.

So, Li You only tried to let the puppet move bricks and put it away. Try it again when you get something similar to the core in the future.

This puppet is Li You's biggest extra discovery, and it is worth looking forward to. It's not that there are no other tools, but he has tried them before and they are not very useful. At most, he just remembered some forgotten props and planned to use them.

For example, the green gem in the hand of Edge next to him - Thunder Magatama. If this thing is used well, it can make Edge generate electricity like him... thunder.

However, the specific control seems to be quite difficult, and Edge has not figured it out yet.

This also made Li You sigh that Yi Xin's talent in this area is really strong. He almost understood how to use it as soon as he got the Thunder Magatama.

In addition to props, Li You mainly studied various system function coupons and skill books.

So far, he has hoarded a lot of coupons and two system books.

Speaking of function coupons alone, there are weapon selection coupons, weapon upgrade coupons, weapon characteristic enchantment coupons, unlimited durability customization coupons, and two unlimited ammunition customization coupons.

The system books are self-selected attribute skill books and general experience books.

Because these function coupons are all related to weapons, Li You put them aside for the time being and read the books first.

The self-selected attribute skill book can increase any attribute by 2 points, while the general experience book can increase the proficiency of any skill by 500.

Li You did not hide it and put two points on agility.

Although I haven't encountered them yet, in the cyberpunk world, enemies equipped with advanced Sianweistan should be one of the biggest threats.     So Li You chose to strengthen the agility attribute that is closely related to speed and reaction ability.

As for the general experience book, he chose to add it to driving, which is also considering the needs of this world. Moreover, the other skills have not been significantly improved.

So far, Li You's personal attributes have become strength 26, agility 25, intelligence 21, perception 19, and spirit 23.

In addition to the perception breaking through 20, with such attribute values, he can finally shout:

"——I'm not a human anymore!!"

Of course, even so, relying on physical strength alone, he has not yet reached the level of being able to tear a tank apart by hand, and he has to rely on weapons to fight.

So it's natural that Li You looked at the equipment enhancement option again.

As mentioned before, this option is completed by consuming achievement points, and the price is ridiculously expensive.

But to date, Li You's accumulated achievement points have exceeded 40,000 points, a total of 46,300 points, at least it is no problem to simply strengthen one or two weapons first.

He originally wanted to give priority to anti-material sniper rifles or hand cannon X, but the reply from Rupert, a master gunsmith in the extinction world, made him change his mind.

Among the letters Li You sent last night, one was to Rupert, and his reply was also one of the fastest.

In the letter, Li You asked him if he could build or modify guns if he had the design drawings and materials of future guns.

After reading his description and a "unified" sent as a sample, Rupert replied in a positive way.

"Yes, as long as there are drawings and time."

In that case, Li You still plans to postpone the strengthening of the gun. Including those function coupons, they will be used together at that time.

So now, he is strengthening nothing else, but his most important weapon at present, the samurai sword Lei Guang Yue Ying.

[Thunder Moon Shadow (Enhancement Level 0)]

[Enhancement Level 1: 1000 achievement points. ]

[Enhancement Level 2: 1600 achievement points. ]

[Enhancement Level 3: 2500 achievement points. ]

[Enhancement Level 4: 3400 achievement points. ]

[Enhancement Level 5: ...]

Although the achievement points are still abundant, Li You does not plan to use them all up at the moment, so he only enhances to level 4 for the time being, spending 8500 achievement points.

This is not a small amount. Judging from the price, it is roughly equivalent to one and a half ten consecutive draws. Even if a small world is fully achieved, it may not be possible to collect so much.

But the effect is also very obvious.

[Thunder Moon Shadow (Enhancement Level 4)]

Li You tried the +4 beloved sword, and then was pleasantly surprised to find that the system's enhancement is really an all-round enhancement.

The strength and sharpness of the Thunder Moon Shadow have been greatly improved. Now it can cut steel and iron without much effort, and it is difficult to bend and wear. More importantly, its carrying capacity for energy and Sakura Dragon Thunder has also been significantly improved.

Now, if Li You uses Thunder Moon Shadow to perform sword skills or release Sakura Dragon Thunder, the consumption is more than 40% less than before the enhancement!

In battle, this can already affect many things.

Li You tried the knife again, and then sheathed it with satisfaction.

As for the others, he has not received a reply to his other letters, so some plans are not rushed to execute.

For example, the plan to feed the G virus sample and "amber" in his hand to Yuzu.

Li You has been holding these two heavyweight props in his hands, but he is afraid of causing any adverse reactions, so he did not use them on Yuzu.

Yesterday, Li You wrote a letter back to the biochemical world, and one of the recipients was Louis. He also sent a tissue sample of Yuzu and asked Louis to help analyze it to see if his idea was feasible.

Today, Louis works as a researcher in the special department of Trasever controlled by Kara. He has sufficient resources and equipment at hand, and he doesn't have to worry about his research being used to make biological weapons.

So Louis is very happy every day - this is what he told Li You earlier when they exchanged letters.

Li You also trusts his ability in this area, so as long as he replies that there is no problem, he plans to let Yuzu use these two props to strengthen again.

Of course, in addition to these letters, Li You also sent greetings to other companions and comrades, but Claire and Kara have not replied...Edge has received the letter.

What's the matter, did Aggie say bad things about me in her letter?

Shaking off the hidden worries in his heart, Li You looked at his system panel and finally felt that he had sorted out the previous mess.

The time was just right. Li You finished the last review and saw a new prompt before closing the panel.

[Living Night Demon Nest Core, level upgraded. ]

"Is it finally here!"

[Night Demon Nest (Small Scale)]

[Item Description: A low-level nest that can breed a small number of Night Demons for you. ]

[Nest Attribute Overview]

[Core Level: Level 3 (can breed 18 Night Demons at the same time). ]

[Hatching Speed: Level 3 (breeding and hatching time: 32 hours). ]

[Hatchable Types]

[Ordinary Night Demon (both speed and agility, with basic intelligence, afraid of ultraviolet rays). ]

[Secondary Night Devil (a lower-level type of Night Devil, with different types, low intelligence, can only obey simple commands, and has a certain resistance to ultraviolet rays). ]

[Perceptual Night Devil (has both speed and agility, is not afraid of ultraviolet rays, needs to be transformed by living humanoids, and the intelligence after transformation is consistent with the mother.)]

[Nest Defense: Primary Acid Cannon. ]

[Special Functions: Night Devil Transformation, Energy Absorption, Queen's Blessing. ]

[Nest Core Experience Value: (506/1000)]

[Nest Energy Reserve: (213/3000)]

[Function Menu]

[Nurturing Night Devil: Nurturing Night Devil through the nest, the time required is related to the core level, and it needs to be in an area rich in nutrients, or artificially provided with food. ]

[Energy Absorption (Primary): The evolved nest core can absorb and store more forms of energy, and needs to generate corresponding energy absorption organs. 】

【Night Demon Transformation: The nest can transform living humanoids into sentient Night Demons, which have the ability to resist ultraviolet rays. After the transformation is completed, some memories can be retained, and the intelligence is consistent with the mother. 】

【Queen's Protection: When the Night Demon Queen is near the nest, the nest core experience acquisition speed is increased, the Night Demon breeding speed is increased, and the core energy consumption is reduced. 】

【Other functions have not been unlocked yet. 】

【Fixed characteristics: Night Demons hatched in the nest core have the ability to spread viruses, but when leaving this world, all Night Demons and the viruses they spread will be forcibly cleared. 】

Li You immediately saw the difference.

First of all, of course, the hatching speed and number have increased, which is much more efficient than before.

Then there is the new function. Now you can hatch creatures called "Secondary Night Demons". Li You asked Aggie to confirm it before he understood that it can breed different types of specialized soldiers.

The crushers, thugs, screamers and the like that were seen in Harlan City can now be reproduced in the nest in the form of secondary night demons, allowing them to focus on their own strengths and exert greater power in cluster combat.

"This is really going to take the route of the insect nest." Li You sighed inwardly.

At present, the only thing that can stop him is the limit of hatching time.

Oh, there was originally energy, but now, the emergence of the special function of energy absorption has overcome most of this difficulty.

This function is just as its name suggests. After generating specific energy-absorbing organs, those energy forms that were originally unusable can be converted into energy that can be absorbed and stored, such as electricity.

Compared with this new function, the additional defense mechanism acid cannon is just icing on the cake.

Of course, the conversion efficiency of the energy-absorbing organs currently generated is still quite low, and almost 95% of the energy will be wasted. But starting from scratch is the most critical step.

Seeing this, Li You already understood that the most suitable task for Aggie was not to fight on the front line, but to stay in the rear and develop in a cowardly manner. When the army gathers together, he will use the Night Demon Sea to overwhelm the enemy.

The most fatal loophole in the current Night Demon Sea tactics is only one point - top combat power.

Aggie's own combat power is not enough. Once the Night Demon Nest is exposed, it will not be able to withstand the enemy's decapitation tactics.

So it is obvious that Li You has to play this role.

He stroked the Lei Guang Yue Ying scabbard on his waist and figured out everything.

If it is from a purely utilitarian point of view, then Aggie should not follow him around and waste time, but stay in the nest for 24 hours to exercise his mental strength.

With the increase of the Queen's Blessing, the formation of the Night Demon Sea can be accelerated again.

This idea is indeed very tempting, but Li You just exhaled and threw it away. He still remembered what Aggie had said.

Li You turned around and looked at Aggie, who was playing with the Thunder Jade in one hand and writing a letter to Claire with a pen in the other, with a slight smile on his face.

"It's good like this now."
