Chapter 154 (Minor Repair)

In a blink of an eye, the rule book was snapped shut again.

Xu Ming exhaled deeply, looked over at Mama Lailai on the street below, and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

Although she made the decision quickly, she was still confused.

She didn't even know how the soul fragment returned. She just saw her reflection on the tile waving at her - when she reacted, there were already a bunch of messy things in her mind, and the rule book in her bag began to heat up.

... In addition to these, what she saw seemed to have changed again. The moths that had been invisible before were finally seen this time. Unfortunately, they seemed to be frightened by the monster that suddenly appeared downstairs and were flying around the house. Xu Ming tried hard to listen to what they said, but no matter what, all he heard was "so scary, so scary" over and over again.

Remembering what Kuaile said, Xu Ming had no time to sort it out for a while. He quickly glanced at the extra building at the end of the street, and his brain tried its best to work again.

The good news is that from the operation just now, at least his rule book can still be used - of course, it is hard to say to what extent it can be used.

Well, don't worry, don't worry, analyze the current situation again, there must be room for operation... How did Kuaile describe them just now? They will be driven by lighthouses and come out to hunt...

Hunting is for eating. Does that mean they are only interested in beings that can serve as food?

Based on this idea, Xu Ming tried to create rules. She tried to kick "beings that can move their hands and feet" out of the category of food, but unfortunately, this rule could not be established at all.

...Is it because the coverage is too wide? Or is it too contrary to the original cognition of this place? What if we try to narrow the scope...

Xu Ming tried to modify the description in the rules, but still failed.

It seems that we can't create it out of thin air, or in other words, we can't do it all in one step. We have to build a sufficient foundation first.

Work badge? This may be feasible, and there is a lot of room for operation-from past experience, targeted rules are always more binding. Compared with monsters, "demolition office employees" with clear targets are obviously easier to control.

The question is, how many ID cards are needed for so many monsters?

And even if there are ID cards, how can they wear them? If they don't wear them, there is no point at all.

Xu Ming looked down and thought nervously. But he heard a disgusting gnawing sound below. Looking closely, he found that two monsters accidentally bumped into each other and started biting each other. After taking a few big bites, they seemed to realize that the other party was not delicious, and quietly separated.

Xu Ming, who was just thinking about pretending to be a monster:...

Forget it. I'm afraid I will die if it bites me.

Those monsters don't seem to have any concept of cleanliness. When the two monsters were gnawing at each other just now, a lot of blood and flesh fell off, and the other monsters seemed to not see it and just stepped over it. The sticky flesh and blood stuck to the soles of their feet, and they were unaware of it, continuing to wander the streets on their own.

... Xu Ming stared at the flesh and blood for a while, and his eyes gradually brightened.

Then he quickly took out the work card he had taken from Kuai Le before.

There were many names on the front and back of the work card. Each was written on a special piece of leather paper. The leather paper had a stable stickiness. Xu Ming tried to tear off a piece from it, stuck it on his hand and tried it, but he couldn't get it off.

... Very good, it seems to work.

Xu Ming's eyes brightened. He looked at the work card in his hand again, and a bit of apology immediately appeared in his eyes.

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. This time it is really urgent, to avoid danger immediately... As compensation, I will definitely give each of you a real work badge before I leave!

Xu Ming closed his eyes apologetically, then squatted down without hesitation, took out the pen again, and quickly wrote on the rule book.

*

Not long after.

The window on the second-floor balcony opened.

Two work badges were thrown down and happened to fall on the two monsters directly below. One work badge

happened to be stuck in the folds of the monster's skin, slid a little, and then did not move again; the other one, after a brief delay, slid down the monster's smooth body, fell to the ground, and was soon stepped on by another monster.

The monster seemed to feel nothing and lifted his foot without knowing it. The work badge just stuck to its feet, rising and falling with its movements, and never fell off.

- Confirmed, this trick also works.

Xu Ming placed his hand on the work badge record, observed for a moment, and let out a long breath.

Then he lowered his head and quickly made a new work badge - a blank work badge. The process was similar to the previous one, with only two more steps.

"I" was written in the name column; a layer of leather paper was pasted on the back of the work badge.

The leather paper was inserted into the work badge, part of it was pasted on the inside of the work badge, and part of it was exposed outside. In other words, as long as you touch it hard, you can stick the work badge directly.

Of course, I dare not say that the probability is 100%. At least from the current experiments, the probability of success is not low... For Xu Ming, it is enough.

She had just looked around and found that she was now separated from the building by almost an entire street, with two crossroads in between. And the more monsters there were towards the building - so it was impossible to rush over directly.

The only thing she could do was to create opportunities for herself and move over little by little... at least for now, that was the only way.

Having made up her mind, she took a deep breath again, warmed up on the spot, grabbed a few work badges that she had prepared beside her, and mustered up her courage to go downstairs.

She opened the door and exchanged glances with the monster outside.

The next second, without hesitation, she ran away, throwing the work badge in her hand to the ground as she ran!

Taking into consideration that some monsters might suddenly open their mouths on their buttocks, she was careful not to touch their bodies directly, but tried her best to ensure that all the work badges thrown down were sticky side up. While running, she could clearly hear the heavy breathing approaching rapidly from behind. Xu Ming did not dare to look back, but continued to run forward, shouting with all her might as she ran -

"I'm the director!"

"Look carefully - I'm the director of the Monster Demolition and Relocation Office!!"

One voice after another, full of energy; and along with the shouting, there was the hunting sound of paper being blown by the wind - Xu Ming's back was also stuck with a piece of paper.

There were only a few words on the paper, which could be clearly seen even from a distance. Unfortunately, the monsters had no intention of reading. They turned their heads one after another following the girl's shouting and running, with only strong appetite in their eyes.

Food. It was food.

Similar thoughts arose in their barren brains. They turned their heads almost instinctively and rushed towards the running food at the same time. Their deformed and huge bodies rose and fell one after another, like a mutated tide.

... However, the surge of the tide soon stagnated.

For some reason, some people stopped in the surging crowd.

One monster stopped, two monsters stopped... The huge bodies automatically became a blocking wall, and the cricket pupa monster following behind was caught off guard and ran into it directly.

If some monsters were a little smarter and had the awareness to observe, they would find that all the monsters that stopped had the same thing stuck to their feet - a thin thing wrapped in a plastic sleeve.

The thin thing also had the same unit name on it - but, as mentioned before, they couldn't read.

They couldn't figure out the reason for the change, and they were too lazy to figure it out. They just stubbornly followed the usual wild rules, and when they collided with another monster, they politely opened their mouths to it, no matter what the situation was, they would take a bite first.

So for a while, the gnawing sounds continued one after another, and more monsters were unable to brake in time and crashed into them. After the crash, they bit each other habitually... The tide that was originally neatly rushing in the same direction inexplicably became a vortex that mixed with each other. The

gnawing sounds became louder and louder. The sound reached Xu Ming's ears, causing her eyebrows to twitch, but she still didn't dare to stop.

The work badges in her hand were almost thrown away in a blink of an eye. Xu Ming didn't dare to take risks. She saw an opportunity and hid directly in another building on the side of the road. The moment the door was closed, she clearly heard a loud banging sound coming from the window. She quickly found a corner to block her sight and squatted down. When she heard the noise outside stopped, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The paper behind him rubbed against the wall, making a clacking sound. Xu Ming took it down casually to check the condition, and by the way, he knocked on Kuai Le who had just moved in the rule book in his mind, wanting to ask about her condition.

Kuai Le hummed sullenly, sounding listless. Despite this, she still tried to care about Xu Ming's current condition. After learning that she had successfully run 500 meters, she was immediately surprised and said "Ah".

"Are you not injured? Are you sure you are not injured?" Kuai Le said repeatedly, "Interesting, how did you do it?"

"Change the rules." Xu Ming seized the time to draw the new work badge, while briefly explaining his arrangements to Kuai Le in his mind. Kuai Le didn’t quite understand her abilities, so she only understood half of what she said until Xu Ming read out what was written on a piece of paper to her -

[1. Anyone carrying an ID card is considered to be wearing an ID card. Weird Talk about Demolition and Relocation Office.

[2. Anyone wearing an ID card is considered to be an employee of the Demolition and Relocation Office. Weird Talk about Demolition and Relocation Office.

[3. Employees of the Demolition and Relocation Office should have sufficient respect and awe for the leaders of the same unit from the bottom of their hearts, and be at their disposal [the handwriting was interrupted at the last word and lightly crossed out], and stop and give way when they hear the leaders approaching. Weird Talk about Demolition and Relocation Office.

[4. Please remember that the director is a leader, not food. Weird Talk about Demolition and Relocation Office.

【Five. I am the director of the Demolition and Relocation Office [super large font]!! Weird Demolition and Relocation Office!!!】

Happy:...

"Can I ask you a question?" After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but ask, "I don't quite understand your skills, but as for identity... couldn't you just write it on your ID card?"

"Yes." Xu Ming pointed at the ID card on his chest, "But for such a distinguished identity, I think it's always right to emphasize it a few times."

...Okay.

"Can't we control them directly?" Happy thought about it and still felt that this method was a bit too tortuous, "If we can control a group of them directly, the speed may be much faster."

"Unfortunately, no." Xu Ming sighed, "I don't think I can change it to that extent."

Letting them stop automatically after hearing the director's driving is already the limit of what she can change.

"No wonder." Happy thought about it for a while, and then quickly responded, "After all, you are directly competing with the lighthouse for dominance."

It would be strange if she could get it.

But no matter what, it's okay to run.

"So what are you going to do next?" She asked Xu Ming weakly, "Repeat this process over and over again until you run to the building?"

"This is the ideal situation." Xu Ming looked outside and quickly retracted his gaze, frowning, "But I suspect it may be too late."

Happy: "?"

"I just took a look before I went out, and the outline of the lighthouse I saw became clearer and clearer." Xu Ming pursed his lips slightly while drawing his work card, "Like you said, we still have to hurry up. But this plan requires work cards..."

Many, many work cards. The more monsters are controlled, the more secure she will be.

The amount of parchment is also limited. But at least there are still a lot left. However, as for the work badges, the ones she drew before have all been used up, and she doesn’t know how many more she will need in the future.

Kuai Le responded with annoyance, and after a moment, he suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, let me tell you something."

Xu Ming: "?"

"Is your rule book not fully unlocked yet?" Kuai Le said, "When you ran away just now, I seemed to hear the sound of something opening in the book." Xu

Ming: "..."

...? ? !

As if she realized something, she quickly turned the rule book to the page related to the work badge printer -

unfortunately, the text on the page did not change at all. The related abilities were not further upgraded.

But if it is not related to the printer, then what skill was upgraded?

Xu Ming frowned and tentatively turned the book to the first page.

Then his eyes widened -

I saw that on the first page of the rule book, under the first skill column, the last few lines of obstruction had completely disappeared.

Instead, there were several clear lines of small words:

[Guardian of Traveling Companions·Sharing of Wise Men:

[A true wise man is never stingy in sharing. You can choose to close a skill in this rule book, thereby sharing all the abilities of this rule book with a designated binder; or you can choose to close two skills in this rule book, thereby specifying a set of abilities in this rule book and sharing them with several designated binders.

[When sharing abilities, if the ability can generate derivatives or has a containment function, the function of transferring derivatives and containments will be opened at the same time, please use it properly.

[You can share the abilities of the entire book with multiple binders at the same time. If you do this, you need to seal multiple skills at the same time, please use it at your own discretion.

[You cannot share sealed abilities. But if the ability you seal is one of a group, you can still use and share other abilities in the same group.

[There are no space and time restrictions for this sharing. But when sharing abilities, please make sure that the person being shared is in a state where he or she can move freely. Otherwise, the sharing will be automatically judged as a failure.

[If the time flow rate of the sharer and the person being shared is different when the sharing is initiated, the time calculation will be based on the sharer's side. 】

Xu Ming: "..."

Oh,

what's wrong? "Kuai Le" was living in the book and couldn't see the specific situation. Seeing Xu Ming silent, he couldn't help but get anxious, "What did you unlock?"

Silently, he read the last unlocked skill description three times, and Xu Ming spoke from the bottom of his heart:

"Sweatshop."

Kuai Le: "..."

Huh? ?

*

On the other side.

Outside the dark door that was half-open, Landor was so nervous that he almost stiffened.

The door was still half-open, and white light shone through the crack. Although "Xu Ming" had specifically reminded him before leaving that the speed of time inside and outside the door was different, and the speed of time inside the door was much slower, Xu Ming would take a certain amount of time even if he walked to the door, and asked him to be patient...

Landor was still so anxious that his hair was almost burning.

The same thing happened to Lu Yueling and the cat on the side. They stared at the door almost without blinking, only occasionally glancing at the unconscious teacher Jing. Once they found that she was about to wake up, they would immediately knock her out with a hammer, and then continue to stare at the door without blinking.

Just when the cat finally couldn't wait any longer and wanted to ask anxiously, he saw that the two people next to him, somehow, suddenly retracted their gazes.

Then they started to search their pockets at the same time.

"......?" The cat was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Landor ignored it, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and hurriedly took out a pen, and no one knew what he was busy with.

Lu Yueling did respond to its words, but she looked a little confused: "Well, I don't know how to say it... I seemed to hear Xu Ming's voice just now, saying that he needs help..."

Before she finished speaking, she clearly touched a piece of paper in her pocket that was not there before. Lu Yueling hurriedly took it out and unfolded it. The lion cat quickly jumped on her shoulder and started to read it together.

On the paper, there was a simple drawing of a printer; below the printer was a complete manual for the relevant skills, and below that was a blank work card template.

In the corner of the template, there was a line of big words written -

[Outsourcing work cards, urgently needed, come quickly! ! ]
