I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 303: Past and present
After entering the link of creating new characters for the second time.
Roger is in no rush to roll the Fate trait.
Instead, began to seriously reflect on the mistakes of the last 'advent'.
He admits he was taking it lightly.
He didn't expect the historical world to be so dangerous.
The negative effect brought by the trait of "two-faced person" will be realized as soon as you enter the market——
Roger thought it was just an ordinary day-to-day event.
But soon he realizes he's been stupid.
The scene at the barbershop and on the street speaks volumes of a scorching summer day.
The hot weather makes people want to be naked.
At this time, a guy "wearing a long windbreaker", "wearing a mask" and "a sun hat" walked in from the outside. He just covered himself and sat in the seat without taking off his hat. ——
That's an anomaly in itself!
I should have been more vigilant.
Think down this line of thought.
The clues gradually surfaced.
……
In Roger's view.
Selecting "Serve Him" is a dead end.
The other party was already ready to kill him.
But the two pretexts in the "Reject" option may also have their own hidden meanings.
If you say "Sorry, the barber shop is closed today", I'm afraid you can only reveal your inner anxiety and fear.
Look at the opponent's determination to kill.
That's not enough to stop the opponent from making a move in an empty store.
Only the last option has a chance to save a small life-
Roger guesses.
During this emergency.
The hidden condition that hinders the opponent's attack may be "to make the enemy realize that the barber shop is not the only apprentice"!
Think about it.
Roger rebuked himself more and more.
"It's because the ability to see words has declined..."
"Or bloated?"
"That's right, since killing the blood of filth, my psychological pressure has dropped a lot, and sometimes I'm really too relaxed."
He reflected on it seriously and adjusted his mentality in time.
In any case.
It's always a good idea to be cautious.
Especially after entering an unfamiliar environment!
"The motto and the newly acquired milestone are ironic, but true."
Thinking about it.
Roger easily redeemed the title of "Not a Successful Apprentice".
He will use this title to wake him up!
Don't be careless at any time!
……
After adjusting the attitude and thinking.
Roger looked back at the character card panel.
This character card is identical to the previous one.
It seems that if you enter the same historical world repeatedly.
The only thing that changes is the Fate trait.
This also shows the importance of this mechanism.
Roger took a deep breath.
Click to refresh.
……
"Fate Trait Filtering! Please wait..."
……
"Rural People (Excellent): You are from the countryside and you love freedom.
The strict rules and order of human society make you unbearable.
But in order to survive, you are forced to compromise.
Your edges and corners are gradually worn away by your busy work.
But you can still reach an endless green field in your dreams.
In the wilderness, you waded through clear streams with young deer, played hide-and-seek with monkeys in the woods, debated dangerous topics with giant snakes... You firmly believe that this is a world that belongs to you alone"
……
"Effect: Your initial inspiration+1/Clue+1/Outliers+1"
……
"Addict (Normal): You are addicted to all addictive substances.
Sugar, opium, women, high-end X products...
Your body is weakened by these indulgences.
But you always feel like you're pampering yourself.
You are getting closer to God"
……
"Effect: Your initial inspiration +1/health-1/wealth-1"
……
"Blind (Excellent): You cannot see, but you have good hearing.
From childhood to adulthood, you spent your time under the pity of others.
Everyone thinks you have a hard time getting it.
But you don't care.
You have learned to enjoy the joy of groping the world alone in the dark"
……
"Effect: Your initial health -1/You are initially familiar with 'Invisible Language'/Spiritual Medium +1/Clue +2"
……
"Indebted (Normal): You have a huge debt and you are notorious for it"
……
"Effect: Your initial wealth -2/Clue +3"
……
"Nurse Job (Excellent): You have a stable job in a church-run hospital.
Although most of what you do is physically strenuous work.
The dead air in the ward also disgusts you.
But you cherish this hard-earned job very much"
……
"Effect: The probability of obtaining a stable income after completing the 1st stage task is 100% / the probability of obtaining clues in daily life +50%"
……
"The Curse of the Castle (Epic): A few years ago you and your friends went on an expedition to a lost castle.
Then an accident happened.
Thank you all for your return.
But you know.
Some of you are different.
Good thing you haven't heard the bad news from your friends over the past few years, and life seems to be back on track.
……
1 month ago.
You have received an unexpected letter.
It comes from a close friend of the original expedition.
Considering that you have not been in touch for many years, please choose-
……
Option 1: Open the letter and read it carefully
……
Option 2: Burn the letter, confess to a priest, or grit your teeth and go to a **** for a purchase"
……
"Effect: Your initial combat power +1/You get a new map "Lost Castle" (explorable: need a lot of money)/Clues+1/Explorer's Toolkit+1"
……
……
After carefully reading the six traits.
Roger was lost in thought.
Honestly.
He's a little bit reluctant to refresh.
These six qualities may not be all that great in terms of quality.
But there is a high probability of playing steadily.
After experiencing my first sudden death.
Roger decides to be more conservative.
Survive for a while longer in the historical world.
He can see it.
The higher the quality of the trait, the higher the chance and the higher the danger!
A strip of purple will do.
"That's it!"
Next second.
Roger decisively gave up the idea of re-rolling.
It won't be long.
He completed the choice of three out of six.
It's actually not that difficult-
……
"Curse of the Castle" is the only purple trait.
And can increase the level of combat power.
Must bring!
……
"Nursing work" is a physical labor.
But being able to provide a steady stream of income is a great trait!
Consider that hospitals are a natural source of clues.
Roger also had no room for refusal.
……
There are 4 remaining traits.
"Addicts" and "High Debt" can be ruled out directly.
Roger was simply choosing between "blind" and "country folk" for a while.
To be honest.
He actually hates the 'invisible language' and 'spiritual medium' of the blind.
After all, that is the supernatural power of this world.
Roger would love to get in touch sooner.
But considering the inability to see with both eyes really hurts.
He finally gave up.
……
The final fate trait combination is "Castle + Carer + Country People".
After confirming.
Roger's character card has also been refreshed.
On the property bar.
……
"Name: Roger"
……
"Appearance: ★★☆☆☆"
……
"Health: ★★☆☆☆"
……
"Energy: ★★☆☆☆"
……
"Inspiration: ★★☆☆☆" (Your dream is a little turbulent, from the moment you enter the strange dream, you are destined to be different from ordinary mortals, you may have the opportunity to hear sacred voices or blasphemy words, but that's not necessarily a good thing)
……
"Fortune: ★☆☆☆☆"
……
"Combat: ★★☆☆☆" (You have received basic combat training and have excellent wilderness survival experience. With complete tools, you can fight most prey in the wild.
But please don't be careless, in front of nature and gods, human beings are always weak)
……
"Outliers: ★★☆☆☆ (1+1) (The descendants are always easy to attract extra attention from the corresponding historical gods, your life is full of dangers, please always be careful!)"
……
See the note after "Outliers" not shown last time.
Roger finally understands why he died so suddenly for the first time!
The Descendants have an outlier of 1 point.
Double-faced and cultists presumably attracted a lot of hatred as well.
When last entered.
The hidden outlier estimate is not low!
It is reasonable to encounter high-risk decisions at the beginning.
"Unfortunately a perfect start."
"If you can deal with the past it should be fine..."
Roger sighed inwardly.
Suddenly he tightened his mind.
The abnormal value that befalls him this time is also not low.
Also need to be careful!
……
"I'm about to enter Yuanwang Town, the special mechanism is being checked..."
……
"You triggered the special mechanism 'past life and this life', do you inherit the grievances of the past life?
After inheritance.
You will gain a random attribute from your previous life, and at the right time, you will get a clue of 'revenge'.
After completing 'Vengeance'.
You can get a mysterious reward"
……
Roger didn't even think about it, he just clicked "Inherit"!
Although this time it is decided to develop steadily.
But he's not afraid of things either!
He wants to stab back the 13 knives in his previous life!
……
"After the inheritance of the grievances, you got a 'enemy' (?), and you got 1 point of 'health' from the 'barber apprentice'"
……
"Health: ★★★☆☆" (Your physique is as strong as an ox, and there is a shortage of coolies like you on the dock. If you work hard for the same day, you can earn 1.5 times the wages of others)
……
Healthy Roger at 3 o'clock is still very satisfied.
At least he can work hard in a cornered situation, right?
At the moment, he carefully read and thought about the information about the "enemy".
And then choose to come!
……
"Record: In the third year?, you came to 'Yuanwang Town'..."
……
"Location: On the corridor of the lobby on the first floor of the Episcopal Building of the Church Hospital"
……
"Record: There are high-pitched or low-pitched voices in your ears—
……
"It hurts! It hurts! Kill me! My legs!"
"Hold him, **** it! Hold him!"
"Doctor! That's my leg! You sawed wrong... ah!"
"Anesthetics! Forget it! Give me poppy milk..."
……
Eight p.m.
You are sitting on an old bench.
Blind eyes and body aches.
You've been busy all day.
It's almost closing time.
You rarely have time to rest in a chair.
……
The off-duty bell belonging to the carer will ring after 30 minutes.
In the meantime.
You decide—
……
Option one: Walk around.
……
Option 2: Do nothing"
……
Incandescent light seeps through the gap in the operating room door.
Stabbed Roger's eyes hurt.
After reading the text above.
His consciousness finally returned to the body of "the nurse" from the suspended third perspective.
It's still a camera-like perspective.
The difference is that Roger can occasionally shake his head from side to side.
For more visibility.
This is a relatively deserted corridor.
At the end of the promenade is the operating room.
There is an unconventional operation going on inside.
Nurse Roger's final job of the day is to take the patient or corpse where he should go after the operation.
Facing a freshly refreshed choice.
Roger thought seriously.
Until the countdown time runs out.
He chose "Option 2".
"My current two-star outlier, I'm afraid I'll get cold if I walk around..."
Thinking about it.
Roger can feel his body leaning back against the chair.
The dull time passed by every minute.
The surgery continues.
10 minutes later.
A small shadow suddenly appeared at the other end of the hallway!
It was a male patient with bandages on his hands and waist.
The hospital gown he was wearing was too large to fit.
The "Bed 11" sign on the chest looked extremely dazzling under the operating room lights.
He has a faint smile on his face.
The patient seemed to know the "nursing worker" and came over to say hello:
"Hey! Roger."
"I saw my intestines come out when I was brushing my teeth today. It must be the black-hearted doctor who didn't sew the wound well for me. Can you help me see my stomach?"
Speaking.
The patient has a firm stomach.
Exposing a **** piece of waist and abdomen!
The bandage looks musty.
But Roger didn't see any bowels.
He couldn't help raising his eyelids.
……
"Faced with the request of the patient in bed 11, you would choose—
……
Option one: Say "No kidding, it's just a bandage!" and push him away gently.
……
Option 2: Say "Come on, I'll help you stuff your bowels back!" and punch him in the stomach.
……
Option 3: Indifferent"
……
"I'm just a carer."
"I just want to get off work."
"It doesn't fit my personality..."
Roger meditated on the brainwashing bag he had prepared for himself.
And then decided to choose three!
……
The nurse sits numbly in the chair.
The patient spit on the ground.
He left sadly.
Nothing happened.
He was alone again in the hallway.
……
"Hint: You missed a clue"
……
"Then it's before get off work.
All will be 'daily time'.
The daily time can be selected to 'fast forward' or 'skip'.
You can also choose the full experience"
……
"It turns out that I can fast-forward..."
"That's right, that makes sense."
Roger nodded inwardly.
Only out of an abundance of caution.
He did not choose to fast forward.
He decided to observe the hospital environment for a while.
In order to deal with the trouble that may arise next.
That's it.
Another 20 minutes passed.
The bell rang.
The nurse was shocked and stood up from the chair.
In the operating room.
A group of people walk out around a doctor wearing blood gloves.
"Let's do this today, remember to feed him more poppy milk later, and continue after work tomorrow..."
The doctor finished speaking.
He walked away casually.
Roger sneaked a glance into the operating room.
A patient was seen disembodied on the operating table.
Then someone closes the door.
That's a nice looking nurse.
Appears to be aware of Roger's gaze.
She gave him a sweet smile.
Roger bowed his head uncontrollably and shyly.
Soon.
The people in the hallway are all gone.
The carer also made his way back to the cramped locker room.
While he was changing his clothes.
There are two other colleagues talking next door.
……
"The patient in bed 11 bites again..."
"Yeah, that lunatic has bitten 3 people in a row, I'm afraid he will disappear soon."
"Who was bitten today?"
"I don't know, he seems to be a patient too."
……
Get dressed.
The nurse walked out of the locker room with a calm expression.
What happened in the conversation was probably familiar to him.
But Roger couldn't help but feel lucky.
Fortunately he was fine!
Otherwise you may be bitten by yourself!
The ghost knows what the other person has.
When I think about it.
The nurse has arrived near the back fence of the hospital.
In the dark night.
Overcast.
Suddenly.
Heavy rain is coming in the sky!
It is late autumn.
The rain drops into the cold.
……
"Voice of the Care Worker:
In this weather, you will definitely catch a cold!
Fortunately I brought an umbrella.
Otherwise it may affect tomorrow's work"
……
It's an interesting feeling.
Roger reads the nurse's voice as if he were watching a small movie, and looks forward to his interaction with the people around him.
He adjusts his perspective calmly.
Next moment.
Pop sounded.
A large black umbrella opened in his hands.
The caregiver is about to walk into a rainstorm.
But he stopped quickly.
Because of the buildings within the walls.
There is also a lonely figure.
It's that nurse in the operating room!
She has taken off her nurse uniform by now.
Wear a thin autumn coat on the upper body.
The bottom is a black pleated skirt.
The slender calf is wrapped in a form-fitting white fabric.
A bit like white stockings.
When the nurse looked at her.
The latter also looked over helplessly.
……
"I encountered heavy rain when I got off work, and found that there were several colleagues who met without an umbrella. Please choose——
……
You gain a high-dimensional perspective (triggered every 3 choices).
High Dimensional Perspective: You will know the hidden information behind some options or the result of your choice.
……
Option 1: Offer her a ride.
(Hidden message: Followers of the Wicked Cup will usher in another gluttonous feast)
……
Option 2: Sell her the umbrella at a high price and go home in the rain.
(Selection result: Nurse Mary's favorability score -1; Wealth +1; Possibility of getting a cold +70%)
……
Option 3: Indifferent (nothing will happen)"
……
"That's how high-dimensional perspective is used!"
Roger is taken aback.
The last time I died suddenly was too fast.
It didn't even trigger the effect of this blessing!
And with the aid of a high-dimensional perspective.
Three options at a glance.
The beautiful nurse in front of me is probably also a vicious cult.
One or two can get on fire.
Roger has no choice.
Now.
He went against the caregiver's wishes.
Indifferently, she walks past Nurse Mary.
Finally stepped into the rain curtain.
Leave only a handsome back to the nurse.
……
20 minutes later.
The third floor of an old house in the bungalow district.
The washbasin under the seeping ceiling is already full.
Roger empties the basin of water.
Then put it back in place.
In the sound of dripping water.
Roger takes a hard look at the new prompt.
……
"Hint: You successfully passed the initial 3 choices and started the 1st stage mission"
……
"Phase 1 Mission: Integration into the World"
"Description: Living like a normal person for a period of time, thereby eliminating 'outliers' to zero"
"Remarks: Even an abnormal value of 1 star may bring disaster to your life"
"Reward: Unknown"
……
Read the mission description.
Roger has roughly figured out the 'Legacy of Time' routine.
The beginning of the advent.
It's better to stay safe first.
After the outliers are eliminated, Roger's time to play.
He then manipulates the body of the nurse.
Choose the former between "reading at home" and "playing cards downstairs".
After 60 minutes of reading.
On the property bar.
……
"Energy: ☆☆☆☆☆ (you are very tired, it's time to rest)"
……
"Your historical knowledge (Yuanwang Town) +10"
……
"Your character is about to fall asleep, do you want to skip the sleep time? (If there is a dream decision, there will be a prompt)"
……
Roger decisively chose to skip.
Next second.
It's dawn.
Cinematic blur to sharp perspective.
The caregiver gets up and washes up as usual.
When going downstairs.
He noticed that the rain had stopped outside.
But he still took the **** umbrella with him.
When shopping for breakfast on the street.
The nurse heard a discussion that a bloodless male corpse had appeared in the next block.
The nurse knew that the male corpse was a famous drunk nearby.
But he remembers it better.
The next block.
This is the neighborhood where Nurse Mary lives.
So he hurriedly bought breakfast.
Did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to the church hospital.
The hospital is still noisy.
The corridors are filled with formalin and other odd smells.
Another busy work day.
……
……
Six months later.
Wake up early in the morning.
The nurse mechanically finished washing, buying breakfast, and going to work.
On the eve of arriving at the hospital.
On the data bar.
……
"Congratulations! Your outliers are cleared to zero!"
……
"You have completed Phase 1 (Integration into the World), and you no longer receive additional attention from 'God: Meng'"
……
"You got a reward: all-round arrival (free view + fully controllable body)"
……
"Your historical knowledge +10"
……
"You got a dusty expedition kit*1"
……
The moment.
Roger nearly cried with joy.
After more than half a year of fast-forwarding, skipping, and watching movies.
His consciousness is finally completely attached to the nurse's body!
He can now manipulate the body freely.
Except for choices and dialogues that he can't choose, everything else is no different from the real world.
And in the past six months.
Roger's low profile also paid off.
After the outliers are cleared.
His life is finally not going to be a crisis every step of the way.
He has a clearer view of the world.
For example.
He learned that people in Yuanwang Town believed in the supreme "Rain God Meng".
The power of the church is evident in every corner of the town.
Even the wildest cultists.
I dare not openly oppose the Church of the Rain God.
……
Another example.
The overall setting of the world is a bit like a low magic version of the Middle Ages.
But some areas are different.
He heard.
The dock area of Yuanwang Town is teeming with psychics who claim to have "supernatural powers".
But it's still hard to tell what's true and what's false.
After all, psychics are the targets of severe suppression by the Rain God Church.
……
In general.
Roger holds his ground.
In the meantime.
He gained nearly 80 points of historical knowledge.
This is already quite a fortune.
And Roger is convinced.
A really good day.
It's just the beginning.
Now that the troubles with outliers are gone.
He can start trying to get out of the trap of being trapped in everyday life.
But before that.
Roger still has to deal with two tags hanging from him.
……
"The Poor: As a low-paid carer, no matter how hard you work, you'll never be able to save money after necessary expenses"
……
"Sub-health: You had a serious illness last month, which not only consumed your little savings, but also sounded the alarm on your physical condition.
You realize that a sickened hospital is not a place to stay for long.
But what can you do? "
……
The serious illness last month nearly took the character's life.
It also scared Roger into a cold sweat.
Although it was a near miss in the end.
But also these two negative tags fell.
The former means that his wealth is at risk of dropping 1 star;
The latter directly resulted in two of the three stars that meant healthy being grayed out.
……
"There must be a way to make a change!"
"But don't worry."
After breakfast.
Roger came to the hospital as usual.
As usual.
Busy mornings are followed by even busier afternoons.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Roger is planning to take a break from his "energy".
Right now.
Suddenly, an emergency stretcher was sent from outside the hospital.
On a stretcher lies a young face.
He was bleeding profusely.
"Send him to the operating room!"
A doctor said to Roger ~IndoMTL.com~ but only 15 seconds passed.
The doctor shook his head:
"Send him to the morgue!"
The surroundings became very noisy.
Roger ignored the noise.
His eyes were only focused on the young man who had just died.
……
"You have a new clue: the murdered barber's apprentice"
……
"Do you want to investigate?"
