The feeling of weightlessness came over me, accompanied by the familiar sound of the violin.

Xia Lun opened his eyes, and then found himself in the deep water, with countless shadows surging like undercurrents, forming a moving slideshow in front of his eyes.

Cool Gray's Collection Tower, the dark sea surface, the pink crystal is like a dream, under the indifferent starry sky, the dilapidated Submarine is walking alone in front of the sea.

In the dark green cabin, the survivors cuddled together for warmth, and stared at each other warily, while faint black shadows lingered above the crowd.

The hanging fishing rod, the red-hot cooking pot, and the mask of the diving suit were covered with barnacles. In the deep sea, Carson looked frightened. Undead, who had turned into a crab and mutated, swayed to his feet. In the deep trench, bright blue octopus tentacles soared into the sky. The speed of the screen switching Gradually speeding up at this moment. The yellowed Scenario manuscript, the golden strange fish with a human tongue, and the Manhunter's Head connected to the decayed spine flashed past one after another. Under the silver moonlight, the Lighthouse covered with white flowers shone with a hazy and warm glow.

The speed of this montage-like screen switching continued to accelerate. In the overwhelming screen switching, Xia Lun saw the deep Sea Abyss, the damaged Submarine, the spreading Mirage Crystal Ore Vein, the Gatekeeper as huge as a mountain, and the golden door behind Gatekeeper.

The next moment, the scene switch suddenly stopped, and the picture was focused on an old Typewriter like a handheld camera.

The perspective was zoomed in, and the old-fashioned Typewriter roller rotated. The next moment, everything was fixed on the last character of the text above the roller.

"They came to life again, and then they all went to their own realities."

Suddenly, the black ink smeared and the Scenario paper exploded from the inside out. All the phantoms completely dissipated and immediately turned into neat characters.

[Scenario completed evaluation: B→A+]

Xia Lun stared at the "Special Killings" entry for a while and nodded slightly.

"This round of Scenario's special kill list can actually fit in, which proves that I really focused on using my brain in this round of Scenario!" He thought to himself, "But to put it bluntly, this round of Scenario did not encounter any very strong enemies."

"The next step should be a special achievement."

As he thought, he continued to look down, and sure enough, more information was immediately revealed.

[Special achievement!]

[Alien Gourmet: Even if you are on an alien planet, you must eat well! When food is extremely scarce, you have greatly enhanced the fighting spirit and survival ability of the survivors with delicious food! At the same time, you are brave in innovation and do not reject all kinds of alien ingredients (even including Evil Spirit). You fully combine Cooking Specialty with your imagination and transform it into tempting food. You are a veritable "Alien Gourmet"!]

[Scenario Complete rating: A+→S-]

[Armchair Detective(?): Despite the shortage of supplies, you still forcibly built an easy chair, and then you lay in the easy chair and relied on observation and reasoning to solve the mystery in Scenario. There is no doubt that you are Armchair Detective in the literal sense. However, after you completed your reasoning, the criminal not only did not confess and repent, but instead violently injured others, and then you executed the criminal.]

[Scenario completed evaluation: S-→S]

Xia Lun turned his eyes slightly, deliberately ignoring the second half of the evaluation, and then showed a satisfied smile. He can indeed be an easy chair detective!

"Anyway, I also have "Erudition" and this Specialty, and I also have the same Higher Wisdom as Renee." Xia Lun thought as he looked at the last special achievement happily.

[Good ending: Through bizarre operations, you used "Typewriter" to successfully provide the survivors who were destined to die with a chance to save themselves, and they did not let down your efforts. Not only did they survive in the end, but they also gained freedom through a long wait.]

[Scenario Complete rating: S→S+]

[Overall evaluation: Almost perfect!]

[Overall evaluation of behavior pattern: A chef who doesn't want to be a detective is not a good Screenwriter.]

[Current "Memory Manifestation Authority":200% (the upper limit has been reached)]

[Note: Memories are to make faded things come alive again. According to "Memory Manifestation Authority", you can manifest the things you have seen or not seen in your Scenario into your surroundings or even into reality.

[According to the final evaluation of Scenario, you finally received the 800-point reward Memory Points!]

[Current Memory Points total: 12398 points!]

"This round of Scenario is really good. The risk is very low, but the harvest is not bad. Not only is it confirmed that White Line is still alive, but the Memory Points reserve has returned to more than 12,000 points..."

Xia Lun While thinking, he checked other gains.

[Specialization Progress!]

[After long-term study, your Specialization"Star-Guiding Moon-Drawing Geomantic Secret Art" has made a huge breakthrough!]

[Star-Guiding Moon-Drawing Geomantic Secret Art (Mastery 0%): Now you have mastered a lot of knowledge. You can be called an expert in Feng Shui situation, astrological calculation, and Ritual energy. And with the deepening of your understanding of the truth of the world, you can even perceive the advantages and avoid the disadvantages through the intuition gained through long-term training.]

[Skill enhancement!]

[You own Extraordinary Perception, and at the same time, "Star-Guiding Moon-Drawing Geomantic Secret Art" and Specialization have reached the Mastery level, and the skill "Tracking Focus" has been fully improved!]

[Even if there is no "clue item", you can vaguely sense the direction of the tracking target through "Tracking Focus". If the target is not in the current time and space, "Tracking Focus" will not be triggered. At the same time, even if "Tracking Focus" is not turned on, you can vaguely sense things related to your own goal.]

"Oh, can there be such a linkage effect?" Xia Lun was quite surprised. He continued to look down, and then he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

[Specialty Progress!]

[You own Extraordinary Perception, and at the same time "Star-Guiding Moon-Drawing Geomantic Secret Art" Specialization arrived at Mastery, you got the new Specialty "Sixth Sense"!]

[Sixth Sense: As you continue to understand the truth about the world, your intuition becomes more and more sharp and precise, and now Jinping can vaguely predict the future. With the state of mind Serenity, you can vaguely perceive possible risks and opportunities, and at the same time gain moderate "divination resistance". However, you will not be able to continue to increase the number of "Unveil the Veil" Specialty.]

"This Mastery-level "Star-Guiding Moon-Drawing Geomantic Secret Art" comes directly with a new Specialty?" Xia Lun was shocked, "It is indeed a Mastery-level Specialization. Now I can really play a guest role as a Daoist priest."

In the game "Investigator", it is extremely difficult to improve the Specialization level, so the Specialization level is also particularly valuable.

Expensive. "Mastery level" is actually another way of saying "extraordinary level". As long as any Specialization reaches "Mastery level", it will definitely undergo a qualitative change!

Xia Lun's eyes moved slightly and looked at the other Specialization, [Stealth (skilled 85%)].

Stealth Specialization is undoubtedly very important. Now, his Stealth Specialization is now only one step away from "Mastery". If Stealth can be If Specialization practices Mastery level, his strength will definitely be greatly improved!

"Next, I should consciously strengthen Stealth training." Xia Lun thought to himself, "Next I will definitely face Secret Art Scholar enemies like Proud Sun. In this case, Stealth and Negation" will definitely be able to exert great power!"

As his thoughts flowed, Xia Lun couldn't help but feel a slight expectation in his heart. However, the next moment, the corner of his eye accidentally glanced at a Specialization that he had not used for a long time.

[Firearms Use(Mastery 64%)].

".," Xia Lun was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart.

As his strength continues to rise, the gun Specialization, which was once the final word, is now becoming more and more marginalized. Even the Revolver, which has been with him for more than ten years, has now been reduced to the point where it can only be used to impose "Embrace of the Final Ash".

According to common sense, giving up the use of firearms is undoubtedly a more rational choice, but Xia Lun has always been a very nostalgic person, and now he has other ideas.

"It would be great if I had the chance to strengthen my firearms..." he thought to himself.

Xia Lun took a deep breath, suppressed this emotion, then raised his hand and called out this round of Scenario's "Memory Manifestation Authority"

o

"In an instant, countless moving phantom silhouettes suddenly surged out of the ground like a tsunami. Xia Lun's heart moved, and these phantom silhouettes were quickly classified into categories, transforming into piles after piles of hills according to the type of items in front of Xia Lun.

Xia Lun glanced at the items that could be manifested and frowned slightly.

The core of this round of Scenario is a variety of "Bioelectricity items", whose characteristic is that it can convert the "Mental Health state" into energy to drive items.

These things will not greatly enhance Xia Lun itself, but if implemented in reality, they will undoubtedly greatly promote technological progress.

However, Xia Lun thought about it carefully for a while, but ultimately did not choose to redeem it.

There must be many Players in reality, and there are obviously many Scenarios with future backgrounds in "Investigator". Logically speaking, there will definitely be some Players who choose to exchange related technologies and use the "technological gap" to make a fortune in reality.

However, the fact is that actual technology has not improved significantly, and there must be a reason behind this abnormal phenomenon.

If it were in the past, Xia Lun might just find it strange. But as he understands the world more deeply, he has become vaguely aware that the source of this strange thing should be the existence behind the scenes that controls reality.

It may be okay to use these future technologies on a small scale, but if they have to be promoted on a large scale, it will definitely lead to unpredictable negative events.

Although after having "Negation", Xia Lun is no longer so afraid of those behind-the-scenes existences in reality, but considering that he does not have much lifespan on his hands now, he does not plan to commit suicide now.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xia Lun finally used 2000 Memory Points to exchange for "Bioelectricity Nanoscopic Air Purifier", "Bioelectricity Water Purifier", "Bioelectricity Carbon Dioxide-to-Starch Converter" and "Spacesuit".

Although his survivability is now very exaggerated, as the saying goes, being prepared is what saves lives at critical moments. And after exchanging these items, he can guarantee the survival of at least 10 people even if he encounters a shortage of supplies.

After exchanging these items, Xia Lun looked again at "Specialization" and "Specialty" that were available for exchange, but he did not find anything worth exchanging.

"Let's go for the lottery." Xia Lun shook his head and was about to start the lottery, but the next moment, he suddenly looked at the "Miscellaneous" category on a whim.

The Specialty "Sixth Sense" he just obtained, and the upgraded "Tracking Focus" actually took effect at the same time!

Xia Lun looked over with some confusion, and then saw a Revolver bullet carved from Mirage Crystal.

[Item name: Mirage Bullet]

[Item Level: Junk]

[Item Category: Miscellaneous items]

[Item description: A weird Revolver bullet carved from "Mirage Crystal", which seems to be a pure craft.

If you put it into Revolver, it will definitely not be able to be fired. But because the bullet is contaminated with part of the breath of Nuo-Mask Plague, it is particularly "heavy".]

[Memory Points:10000 points required to realize this item]

"..." Xia Lun stared at the item level of this thing for a while, and couldn't help but fall into deep silence.

Selling garbage for 10000 Memory Points?

Is this right?

As a Merchant, Xia Lun is very aware that the behavior of "picking up mistakes based on luck" is a typical high-risk, low-return behavior in business activities. Normally, he would never even look at this so-called "Mirage Bullet".

But now this opportunity was provided by the newly acquired Specialty and "Sixth Sense". For a moment, he fell into hesitation.

After thinking for a long time, Xia Lun took a deep breath and decided to believe in the newly acquired Specialty "Sixth Sense" and give Revolver, who has been with him for a long time, a chance to upgrade!

"Exchange!"

The next moment, the bullet carved by Mirage Crystal fell into the palm of Xia Lun's right hand.

Xia Lun weighed the bullet slightly, and then his Revolver appeared on his left hand tool. He threw out the bullet chamber and compared it a little, and then he was shocked to find that this expensive crystal bullet could fit into his Revolver bullet chamber!

"..." Xia Lun blinked, hesitated, and then stuffed the crystal into the bomb nest.

"Click."

The magazine was reset, Xia Lun raised the gun and aimed at the open space ahead. He pressed Hammer with his thumb slightly, but at the next moment, there was a slight sluggish feeling on his thumb.

"This crystal bullet can't be pressed into the barrel of the gun, and it really can't be fired out."

Xia Lun squinted his eyes slightly and stared at his pistol and bullet for a while, but he still didn't find anything strange about the bullet.

"It seems that the venture capital investment failed." Xia Lun shrugged, not feeling depressed, "You really can't take any chances."

As his thoughts flashed, Xia Lun looked at the "special mechanism items", and then immediately exchanged it for [Fantasy Casket] in his hand.

Exchanging things is just a matter of fun. If you really want to have fun, you have to look at the lottery. After all, the lottery is the authentic act of fun.

And if you can draw another Legend-level item like "Jade Wolf Pot", you will make a lot of money.

Xia Lun was not in a hurry to open the box. He rubbed his hands first, and then opened the lid of the wooden box with a little anticipation.

"Click."

The wooden box was opened, Xia Lun looked down and saw a color photo in the wooden box.

He took out the photo, and then discovered that it turned out to be a group photo of the survivors, including himself, in the last round of Scenario. It seemed to have been taken by "Roman".

Xia Lun Turn the photo to the back. There is a line of Juanxiu handwriting in the lower left corner of the back of the photo.

"Long enough for a miracle to happen."

Xia Lun blinked, the handwriting seemed to be the handwriting of "little girl Aislin".

"Although it's useless, it's not bad to keep as a souvenir."

Xia Lun shook his head, and then planned to put the photo in the debris pile, but the next moment, he frowned slightly.

Just now, a large line of dark golden characters suddenly flashed across the corner of his eyes.

[You own "Mirage Bullet", and at the same time, your evaluation of Scenario in the last round was above S, you have won the second chance to draw!]

"Second chance to win the lottery?!"

Although quite surprised, Xia Lun immediately redeemed the second [Fantasy Casket], and then opened the new box without hesitation.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly emerged from the box!
