Help, I've become a paper man

Chapter 326 Renewal

The following time was a boring journey for Song Yi. They were going to Zhigui's so-called "home". Rather than saying that there were "frequent fights on the road", it would be better to say that they fought all the way there.

The whole process was boring and was just another round of physical exhaustion. Apart from getting closer to home, they only gained one thing, which was a better understanding of the enemy.

The one that appears here now is just like the previous monster in size, but after contacting it, you can find that it is just the little monster before, which has grown up now. Both its intelligence and appearance are similar to before. It can be said to be a pirated version of the previous one, with a slight upgrade.

Even though it is now a high-end version, it is still different from the monster. Its appearance alone is quite rough, not to mention that not long ago, when Yan Changyue was killing people in the air, the target he chose was the genuine one.

For Song Yi, it was such a deep impression, and when he mentioned it, these two people actually remembered it.

The three of them exchanged a few words and then stamped the monster to confirm. They all agreed that "the number of people who got out is still acceptable, it's really boring", and it was just a consumption of each other.

They consume their stamina and ammunition, and the monsters consume their lives. This continues and gradually becomes a routine, becoming increasingly boring.

This kind of battle is nothing new to Song Yi.

He was really bored, and couldn't help but look at Zhigui and complained:

"I give up. Have you renewed the battle book for me? Why do we have to fight even now? If I were the protagonist, this comic would be too vulgar and no one would read it!"

Zhigui asked back, "What kind of fighting book is this? Isn't fighting for your own sake? And are there people who would pay to get beaten?"

The seemingly sarcastic words came out of this person's mouth without any derogatory meaning. They were full of surprise from the bottom of his heart. Song Yi was shocked and subconsciously raised his hand and touched his ears before he could believe that he had not heard wrong.

Oh my god, this guy is really... How can there be someone more stubborn than him! Song Yi took a breath. After all the doubts, he inexplicably remembered Zhigui's words after a period of time.

Maybe Yan Changyue did it on purpose and chose to leave him here under such circumstances.

Maybe letting them meet was intentional, but if it was simply to make him and the other person leave, then that would be even more strange.

As soon as this thought came to mind, it disappeared immediately, flashing only through Song Yi's mind without leaving any trace.

Zhigui's voice sounded, and he asked again: "What's wrong? Is this matter difficult to explain?"

Song Yi came back to his senses, thinking about the topic just now, and simply followed that misunderstanding and said randomly: "Yes, it's like eating hard without suffering, that's what it means."

"I had nothing to do before, and I didn't lack materials, so I deliberately went to do the work. After getting beaten up, I became honest and relaxed both physically and mentally."

"This is about spending money, resources, manpower, and time, and then going into the dungeon and proactively facing possible battles."

He spoke in a relaxed manner and Zhigui found it interesting. The originally dull atmosphere became more relaxed during their casual chat, without the oppression just now.

Song Yi specifically asked before the journey was over. After the efforts of the three of them, they had only walked half the distance, but this was not a bad thing, because what was worse was the battle situation.

Song Yi used guns. Although he had enough guns and bullets, he had limited silencers. In the process of his response, some noise was made, and the noise was not quiet.

The further they went and the longer they fought, the more monsters surrounded them, making it more difficult for them to move forward.

In this situation, Song Yi knew his own limitations without the need for the two to remind him. He threw the gun back to Infinite Firepower after emptying the magazine, then reached out and took out a long knife to use for defense.

After changing weapons, the impact on monsters cannot be seen in a short period of time, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it can be seen that the firepower has been sharply reduced. There is no need for comparison to show the damage.

Mainly based on the damage caused by his teammates, Song Yi suffered corresponding psychological damage.

He was in the middle of it, so he knew the outcome of the battle between the two without having to watch specifically. Zhigui was not as tough as Yan Changyue, but there was also Ying Ru. They each held a sword, and with the cooperation of the two sides, they fought their way out of a bloody battle.

At a glance, when added together, the damage they caused exceeded Yan Changyue's personal ability.

Song Yi realized his weakness in an instant. In a team of three, he felt guilty for two seconds and then started to slack off openly.

Zhigui just took a look and confirmed that Song Yi was safe, then stopped paying attention to him, accepting the situation well without any intention of blaming him.

After all, monsters would be attracted by sounds, which had never happened before. It was normal that they couldn't anticipate it, and Song Yi couldn't be blamed entirely.

What's more, when he realized that something was wrong, Song Yi took the initiative to change weapons. To some extent, he was not simply giving up. He had to take comprehensive factors into consideration. His skills were banned, so he changed to a method he was not good at to deal with the battle situation. On this basis, he knew that not making things worse was a good performance.

Having said that, the impact was still there and they were barely able to cope with it, but on this basis, they still managed to walk more than a hundred meters. Their speed was slower than before, but they did not attract any more monsters.

Moving forward more steadily is considered a good development, but in this situation, a subtle electric sound was heard in Song Yi's mind.

It seemed that the signal had not been repaired, and it was like Noah's Ark had just woken up and was in the stage of preparing to broadcast. Song Yi sensed that something was wrong. Based on past experience, he made a prediction before the system spoke, and he said:

"You're right, the P-type is suitable for close combat, but I don't choose it. I'm a happy gigolo. I used to rely on my sponsors, but now I rely on my boss."

Song Yi's thoughts were straightforward. He had no shame at all and was even a little complacent. Although it was mental communication and there was no so-called tone, it could still be heard that when the system interrupted his spellcasting, his happiness was exceptionally pure.

"Player Song Yi, due to the special nature of your contract, in the process of making up for your shortcomings, please master the deployment of power as soon as possible and actively borrow power from the contractor."

Noah's Ark said, and when he confirmed Song Yi's idea, he chose another way. Compared with last time, his voice was lighter, and at the end, there was an electric sound. Not only was the signal not repaired, it sounded even worse.

"Although you didn't mention 'choose close combat', every word seems to be saying, are you a close combat dream master?"

"On the other hand, close combat is not my weakness. I'm just a novice with weaknesses all over my body."

Song Yi spoke happily. Compared with the last conversation, after he started to slack off, he could chat without pressure even without time to pause.

Not only did he chat while playing, he could also leisurely go a step further and directly refute the system's words. He was really tired of hearing about AI's career planning and had no interest in accepting guidance in life... uh, Stardust's development.

After hearing these words, the system fell silent. Half a minute later, they walked a few hundred meters further. The monsters around them gradually decreased, and Zhigui and the other two also relaxed. It seemed that the only thing they needed to worry about in the remaining tasks was the need to hike cross-country without a car.

Noah's Ark made a sound again, accompanied by intermittent electric current sounds. He changed his angle again and started a new persuasion.

"After a comprehensive system test, among the current contestants, player Song Yi, your combat power is better than 37% of the Stardust."

"Among the Stardust that is far superior to yours, 82% of them choose to adapt to their own skills. In the remaining journey, there are also points that are stronger than you. You still have room for improvement and you still need to keep working hard."

Song Yi smiled, restrained his leisurely mood, and replied in his heart:

"Noah's Ark, I know you have life, but what's wrong with you? You're not an intelligent life at all, right?"

"Your stance is too vivid. If it is really an AI, it should have been raised in a mass grave. Life is life, death is death."

He sent a series of messages, but Noah's Ark read them but did not respond. He did not refute or explain. He simply refused to communicate and ignored him.

Song Yi returned to boredom again, and his ears became quiet again, with only the roars of monsters, the collision of metals and the friction of cloth. But amidst all these sounds, their goal did not change, and their forward speed did not slow down, and even gradually accelerated, and they soon got rid of the monsters' encirclement.

It was not until Zhigui stretched and said "Welcome home" that Song Yi raised his head and looked into the distance. There was fog between the mountains, and the outline of the village could be vaguely seen.
