No Man's Sky: One Hundred Years of Solitude Chapter 9 Survivors
"Eh? It means literally?"
Although her magic power was awakened, the girl was obviously not in a clear mind. Facing Li Lin's question, this healthy girl with slightly brown skin was slightly stunned, revealing her two canine teeth in her mouth, and smiled particularly brightly.
"Aren't you an ancient person?"
"So what are ancient people? How did they become ancient people? What's the reason?"
"You are an ancient person, and you still ask me? I don't know."
“…”
You are probably a fool.
Li Lin finally recalled the subtle looks the professor had given him so many times. Now he looked at this dark-skinned girl with a particularly bright smile as if she were a fool. There was no way to communicate with her.
But no matter what, he was not the only one in this strange and silent cabin. Just knowing this was enough. Li Lin hated the mode of doing a task alone. If there was no interactive thing in a long list of places, Li Lin felt that this task would be stuck forever.
Even though he's a fool, we can just make do with him. Anyway, NPCs are there to provide side quests or clues.
"So can you tell me what happened to this ship? What's going on here?"
"Eh? Boat? What's a boat?"
“…It’s what’s beneath our feet.”
"Is there floor beneath our feet?"
“…”
What should I do? How can I communicate with a mentally handicapped person? Is it too late for me to use Baidu now?
After taking a look at the innocent girl, Li Lin felt that his gaming career seemed to have encountered an unprecedented test. Whether it was the Black Forest or the Lord of the Underworld, no test was more complicated and tense than the current one.
When I was about to complete a single-player mission, an NPC appeared, but this person was a fool. How could I get the correct information clues? This could be developed into a discipline, right? Do I need to trigger some keywords or something else to make this girl take me somewhere, or find some key things?
And at this moment, the system prompt started to play dead, without any prompts and just stood there in gray.
What Li Lin found most difficult to accept was that his own strength seemed to have no effect.
This girl actually had no intention to kill, she just fired a shot as if asking a question, and what she said about wanting to be a slave was also true. Without any malicious intent, there was no dispute at all. But what about this logical thinking ability?
Do I need to find something to make a blood sacrifice circle and then establish a mental link? But now the only living thing has been killed and turned into a butterfly, what else can I do? If even corpses are a necessary element for decryption, this game is too stupid, right?
"Huh? What's wrong with you? You look uncomfortable?"
"…Do you have any family?"
" Family ? What's that?"
"I knew it... Do you have any similar ones?"
"You. I'm so happy to see you. I thought I was the only one in this world, but it turns out there's a new ancient person or something. I'm really happy."
"Is that so... um..."
Wait a minute, there is something wrong with the logic of this conversation.
After thinking about it, Li Lin quickly realized that there was something wrong with this conversation. He looked at the silly girl in front of him tentatively and asked cautiously:
"Then do you know of any place where there are ancient people like me? It doesn't have to be new like me, even old ones are fine. It doesn't have to be the same kind, as long as they can communicate. Think about it and see if there is any."
"Yes, I have."
It is true!
Li Lin applauded himself in his heart.
Although this action really meant nothing in his actions, but after being able to successfully , the pleasure and sense of victory he got was actually much greater than from normal monster hunting.
This is the joy of thinking. Through one's own wisdom and logic, one finally reaches the correct conclusion. This kind of joy belongs only to intelligent creatures. After communication, both parties understand each other. This kind of pleasure of being recognized makes Li Lin feel relieved and extremely satisfied.
Look, for a high-level player like me, I can communicate with the NPC even if it is a mentally retarded one!
"Then let's go find someone now."
The dark-skinned girl smiled foolishly, put on her gas mask, and then, as if she had just remembered something, she turned around and said:
"Ah, if you want to talk about this place, it has been like this since I was born. I heard from others that this place used to be the Plague Butcher, and then it was hit by another Hades here, and it became like this."
"...Don't you know what a ship represents?"
"I know it from what you said, and I think you are very beautiful, and your various expressions are also very beautiful, so I want to see more."
“…”
Am I being tricked by a fool?
Looking at the girl's swaying waist and back, Li Lin lowered his head and thought about this question.
But no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't find any answers. I always felt that if I continued thinking, I would fall into a strange logic.
"Follow me, there are traps in some places, be careful."
The dark-skinned girl spoke casually as she hopped ahead to clear the way and walked towards a certain direction with skill.
But this was no problem for Li Lin. He gave a direct command to let the magic follow the girl. Li Lin waved his hand to disperse the Holy Flame soldiers who could only pose, and chatted with the girl casually. He also understood the current situation of the ship.
The girl's name was Jeanna, and she was an aboriginal born on this ship. She had no parents since she became conscious, and only a few creatures called "ancients" taught her to speak and read. Although this ship was huge, it was not a difficult place for someone who had lived here all the time. The girl searched every corner of it. There was probably nothing there, and the enemies were just those monsters. Basically, everything of value had been looted.
But she claimed that the ship was not actually a dead object, but a living organism. The evidence was the flesh and blood network everywhere and the sound that sometimes appeared in her sleep, which seemed to be mumbling.
Of course, Li Lin personally expressed doubts about this, but did not completely deny it.
“This is where the ancient people lived.”
The girl opened a door and happily invited Li Lin to come in.
However, looking at the contents inside, Li Lin was stunned, then looked at the girl with a complicated expression.
"Jeanne?"
"Um?"
"…I feel like you are really a fool."
After taking a look at Li Lin, who had a strange expression on his face facing a bunch of robots, the dark-skinned girl tilted her head blankly with an innocent look on her face.
