Chapter 453 How is this a game!?
Bang! Bang!!
Bang!!! Li Qi kicked the door several times, and finally some cracks appeared on the door of the warehouse.
But when the crack appeared, Li Qi's hand was suddenly grabbed by something.
Looking to the side, he saw the white shadow that had led him to the mountain village.
"Is it you?"
Looking at the petite figure whose face was not clearly visible and who was as tall as himself, Li Qi made a sound of surprise.
The petite figure didn't wait for Li Qi to ask anything. She pulled Li Qi aside with force. The next moment, black mist sprayed out from the crack of the warehouse door. The mist condensed into shape in the blink of an eye. A two-meter-tall black cloaked man flew out and swung his attack in an instant! Swish! The silver light cut through the air, and the place that was cut was filled with chaotic space. Li Qi looked at the palm of the cloaked man and found that its arm was not a human arm, but an extremely sharp sickle.
The blow that just cut through space was delivered by this sickle.
The attack missed and the cloaked man's scythe slashed towards Li Qi again.
But before it fell, the small shadow beside Li Qi had already taken him to another place.
The space changed, the light and shadow retreated, Li Qi closed his eyes and opened them again, and he had arrived at the door of the grocery store.
Then he heard a cold child's voice:
"Choose a rare item, and then you can leave. Don't anger it, it is the warehouse manager here."
"I know the way out."
Hearing the voices of the people around him, Li Qi responded calmly: "But I'm just a little greedy, I want to have it all."
If he only wanted to take one rare item, Li Qi would have chosen the one he liked and left long ago.
The reason why he didn't move anything and instead walked towards the warehouse was to see if he could find a way to get all the rare items in one fell swoop.
Because if my guess is correct, this grocery store is also a wonder!
"?"
Li Qi could sense that after he said this, the shadow beside him showed a look of doubt.
The spiritual power that escaped told him that the phantom seemed speechless, helpless, and even had a hint of approval, but there was no hostility.
Li Qi couldn't figure out her identity for a moment, but for now, the two of them should stand on the same front, so he said bluntly:
"Do you have any ideas?"
“…”
The phantom didn't say anything, but judging from the emotions that emanated from her, she was a little surprised.
It seemed as if she was surprised why Li Qi thought she had a way.
"No?"
Seeing that the shadow did not answer, Li Qi asked again.
The shadow's body shook, as if it had become even more illusory. She turned her head to look behind the cash register. She saw a cloaked man with a sickle-like right hand. He stopped moving after swinging the knife, which meant that his protection range was only near the warehouse.
The shadow stared at the cloaked man for a long time, and finally said, "There is a way."
"?"
This time it was Li Qi's turn to have a question mark appear over his head.
He was just trying to ask. Even if the phantom had no solution, Li Qi would find a way to get the grocery store by himself. But he didn't expect that the phantom actually had a way.
Recovering his mind, Li Qi moved closer to the phantom and asked, "What's the solution?"
“The system here is very old. No one has maintained it for five consecutive civilizations. Only the most basic functions of autonomous counterattack and automatic selection of the owner of the rare object remain.
"I can use my authority to give you the identity of a special guide. With this identity, you can contact the core and gain access to this store..."
The phantom said a lot at a very fast speed.
But when Li Qi heard half of it, his pupils couldn't help but dilate and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
Therefore, as soon as the shadow finished speaking, Li Qi asked directly: "System? What system? This store has an intelligent system? Isn't this a rare thing?"
"It is a rare item, but it is also a rare item store. Normally, as long as you have traveler privileges, you can come here to buy rare items. As long as you have money, you can even buy the entire store. However... the local natives cannot obtain traveler privileges."
“…”
Local indigenous people...
Li Qi seemed to hear some extraordinary words again.
But there was no time to think too much, the phantom had already started to move. Her figure suddenly disappeared beside Li Qi, and no one knew what she did.
All Li Qi knew was that one minute later, a special light and shadow appeared in front of his eyes.
The lights and shadows were vague and seemed to be approaching Li Qi. Li Qi stared at them for a second, and then immediately used the rule observation method to observe the rules of this grocery store.
Because he had previously observed the eyes of a witch statue being blown off, Li Qi did not use this observation method immediately when he entered the grocery store.
He was worried that when he observed the grocery store, he would encounter the same situation as when he observed the witch statue.
But now he had to use the observation method, otherwise he would not be able to figure out what was going on.
When he closed and opened his eyes, the world changed. In the black and white world, countless colorful lines appeared in front of Li Qi's eyes. At the same time, he also saw the true appearance of the white mist floating over.
Those are the strings of rules that connect to the grocery store.
They mixed together, almost forming a substance that could be observed by the naked eye, and fell onto Li Qi.
Seeing this scene, Li Qi knew that this was the "authority" mentioned by the phantom. Without hesitation, he raised his finger and touched the line of rules on the grocery store.
Boom! The moment they touched, the line of rules exploded in front of Li Qi's eyes.
Like blooming fireworks, brilliant colors filled Li Qi's entire vision.
The colors lasted for a long time, yet seemed very short. Li Qi's consciousness had only passed for a moment when countless colors converged and formed a square block with lace in front of Li Qi.
A line of text appeared on the block: ——Identity confirmed, guiding NPC.
——The guide function is being opened, please wait.
"!!?"
The interface that looked like an online game almost made Li Qi's heart stop. He stared at the font on the square in front of him, and at that moment he seemed to understand the "reality" of this world.
NPC.
The so-called special guide authority that the phantom gave to Li Qi was actually NPC authority!
And if Li Qi is an NPC, then the whole world is...
"…game?"
Li Qi murmured to himself. He couldn't imagine that everything he encountered after coming to this world was just data in the game.
After all, in his eyes, everything is so real.
But if it is not data, then why is my authority now NPC authority?
Countless questions popped up in Li Qi's mind, but before he could figure it out, he heard the shadow's shout: "The core has been exposed! Hurry up!!"
"What?"
Li Qi came to his senses and looked into the distance.
After obtaining NPC privileges, the world seemed to have changed again in Li Qi's eyes.
The grocery store is still the same grocery store, and the layout inside is still the same, but the difference is that at this moment, in Li Qi's sight, a round ball emitting blue light appeared above the grocery store.
A line of small words appeared on the sphere.
——Store building: Adventure Store (Core) Then look at the cloaked man in the distance, and Li Qi also sees the name above its head.
——Adventure Store Warehouse Manager: Death Scythe (LV: 120)
There are five long blood bars below.
"…MD is really a game!?"
Even though Li Qi was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but swear at this moment.
After cursing, Li Qi couldn't help but look up at the top of his head.
Sure enough, there was also a line of words above his head.
——Wonderful Item: Wish Doll [Mutation] (LV: 115)
“…Am I that high level?”
Li Qi was stunned when he saw the level above his head, but he quickly realized that this was the level of the puppet, not his own body.
But now is not the time to worry about these levels. After spending a few seconds looking at the information of various things, Li Qi finally turned his gaze back to the core.
He shouted to the shadow:
“What should I do!”
"Go up and touch it!! It's that simple!!"
A phantom appeared in front of the warehouse manager. She pointed her hands at the warehouse manager. Several green barriers surrounded the manager. The light released from them turned into ropes to tie the manager into a ball.
The phantom is controlling the other party.
While knowing what the phantom had done, Li Qi couldn't help but glance at the top of the phantom's head.
——Special·World Spirit【Advent】(LV:???)
The spirit of the world? The will of the world?
This thought flashed through Li Qi's mind, but his body did not stop and went straight to the core in the distance.
Approaching the core and touching it with both hands, Li Qi saw the warehouse manager looking up at him and launching a crazy attack on him.
However, he was stopped by the phantom.
The actual power of the phantom seems to be weaker than that of the manager. At least the barrier she created can be easily torn apart by the phantom.
But she was unable to create the barrier quickly. Although her speed was not as fast as the speed of destroying the phantom, she did not need to trap the phantom for too long. As long as Li Qi had enough time to take over the core, she would win.
After making sure that the phantom could stop the manager, Li Qi closed his eyes and tried to feel the core of the store.
——The identity of the guide has been confirmed.
—The store manager…is…sizzling…
——The store manager position is vacant.
——Guide identity...zizizi...access...
——Access successful.
——Welcome back, store manager (temporary).
A series of prompt sounds flashed before Li Qi's eyes, and at the same time, Li Qi also felt a sense of being in perfect harmony with the store.
It was as if the entire store had become his hands and feet, and he could use and fiddle with them at will.
"Is it done? If it's done, send it back to guard the warehouse!!"
Li Qi was still experiencing this special feeling when the spirit of the world below couldn't help but start urging him.
He turned around and realized that because he had obtained the store authority, the administrator no longer targeted him, but instead treated the Spirit of the World as an enemy.
Now he is suppressing the Spirit of the World.
The spirit of the world, who appeared to be a phantom, was being chased relentlessly by the manager, and her shadow flickered on and off at this moment, making people worry whether she would disappear from here in the next second.
Thinking that he still had many questions to ask the Spirit of the World, Li Qi did not stand by and watch him die.
It took him a second to confirm the authority he currently held, and then another second to call the manager back to the warehouse. Finally, he came down from above and landed next to the Spirit of the World.
"Are you okay?"
Li Qi appropriately expressed concern for the Spirit of the World.
Who knew that the Spirit of the World would glare at him unhappily.
But she didn't say a word, not even scolding Li Qi, and just disappeared from in front of Li Qi.
Just as she appeared mysteriously, she disappeared from Li Qi's side mysteriously.
