This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 44 Death Dream
Nie Weiyang knew better than anyone that the so-called 'low probability of survival' meant that a person without power, influence, or support had a low tolerance for error. Even the slightest push could send them plummeting into the abyss.

Because he himself used to be that kind of person.

Now, he caught a man who was about to fall into the abyss——

He pulled her up and placed her on a rock at the edge of the cliff to enjoy the view.

"The light from HSS is quite beautiful," said Nie Weiyang, who put on his sunglasses again, which made him look very cool.

He placed his coat on the stone as a cushion for Angelita.

The girl hugged her knees with her hands, her large white robe of an administrator spread out on the stone. She tilted her head and looked at him with a very calm gaze.

"Beautiful, but dirty," she said. "I hope the space station isn't a clean place."

"It's not dirty." Nie Weiyang shook his head. "Hope, technology, ideals, a desire to explore... everything that's gathered there is not wrong. It's always people who are dirty and wrong."

Angelita smiled softly: "You really don't play by the rules at all."

"Common sense, what common sense?" Nie Weiyang asked back. "First, I familiarized myself with the shelter, then discovered that a hundred people disappeared from the shelter every week. So I started investigating the four ministers? Previously, the ventilation system in the laboratory area had been adjusted to 0.5m/s. I heard from a scholar that in general laboratories, the wind speed is set at 0.3 to 0.4m/s to ensure stable air flow... 0.5 and above is the speed chosen when handling toxic substances. But they reported no plans related to toxic substances, because the shelter is an enclosed space, and normal humans would not allow them to do so. Then, I will use the hidden empathic servant research project in the laboratory area to find out their hidden secrets, and finally find the server room by tracking the line, and win after a difficult battle..."

He laughed as he spoke. He knew full well that, drawn to disasters, he was destined to head straight for the most conflict-ridden and dangerous areas.

"That's not my style, Mr. Former Administrator. It's too slow to keep up with what I want."

Angelita also smiled. It seemed like she hadn't smiled in a long time. This smile was very stiff, but also very sincere.

"The HSS is researching mind-interconnection technology based on a honeycomb system, which is one path to artificial empathy. But a certain academic faction has tampered with it. They've actually launched the Gestalt Mind Project. In a year, 1.6 billion people from different bloodlines and races will merge into one, and there's no way to stop it," she said. "They call it the 'Eternal Paradise' Project. All beings will become one, with a single will as the sole and eternal master personality. The rest of the personalities will slumber in an endless dream. In theory, for eternity."

“…” Nie Weiyang’s expression turned serious.

Such a big thing, and it's still a main quest...

...Could there really be such a huge mind link/soul fusion plan outside the copy?
The people here have a natural ability to interfere with the outside world with their mental power... This plan must have created something!
He wanted to ask more, but Angelita stopped answering. "I am a sinner and a dead man," she said, her world gradually fading away, her figure gradually fading, until finally, she suddenly turned around and shouted to Nie Weiyang in the distance:
"May you catch up with what you want." She shouted, as if she was using her soul to add pressure on Nie Weiyang. "May you break free from all constraints - may you win! Administrator No. 2!"

……

Nie Weiyang suddenly opened his eyes. He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

The empty shell that was bowing its head was dissipating into black mist, with starlight falling from it.

It was an administrator's portable terminal with '4701' written on it. It fell to the ground and rolled twice. The screen flashed with meaningless snowflakes. Nie Weiyang did not use his mental power, but bent down to pick it up as if picking up a piece of tombstone.

[CSSS LAN host bio-type portable terminal]
Use the token to get rich rewards

It's useless.
-
A portable terminal for shelter administrators, belonging to someone in Shelter 4701.

The server room was quiet. Nie Weiyang heard the noises of people rushing in from outside, but they couldn't move his shield.

A moment later, Kang Sen's voice came: "Administrator? Are you in there?"

Nie Weiyang did not answer, but continued to check the item list.

Traces of 'CSSS LAN Host Biotype'
-
Not a gift. -
Items included: ['CSSS·LAN Host·Biological' Weapon Case]
['CSSS LAN Host Biological Type' Equipment Box]
['CSSS LAN Host Biological Type' Accessory Box]
[Strange Item: No Walkman on Demand]
[Accessory - '4701 Shelter Administrator Portable Terminal']...]

Other than that, all the reward types were similar to those for 'Sorrow'. Nie Weiyang paid no attention to anything else, instead staring at the 'Wonderful Items' column, sliding his sunglasses upwards and wiping his eyes.

That’s right.

It's really a rare thing.

A powerful item with unique properties that can only be found in the shelter, a rare item.

"...A strange item has appeared just now?" Nie Weiyang was a little bit incredulous. For a moment, he even began to suspect that he had spent his life span. But he immediately realized that he was half dead and had no life span to spend in the strict sense...

This may be the effect of the talent 'Death Interweaving'.

[You will be attracted to strife, death, bad luck, and disaster, and draw strength from them].

Why aren't reward equipment items and skill books considered strength?
The New World still has some humanistic care, allowing players to choose to put items into the backpack when opening the BOSS drop list in the dungeon, but they cannot take them out.

While Nie Weiyang was re-equipping his armor, he put all the other dropped items into his backpack, leaving only three boxes and one rare item.

The boxes in the shelter allow you to choose whether to request something you can use or something that others can use. Nie Weiyang opened a pair of insulating gloves that increase sensitivity and electrical resistance, an ornament ring that increases resistance to energy attacks, and another sword.

This is the downside of dual-wielding different weapons and armor: when you open a chest, it's truly random...

Nie Weiyang picked up the longsword. It was a two-handed sword, simple and neat, and relatively modern in appearance. The silver-black blade carried a powerful beauty.

[[CSSS Security Department Standard Two-Handed Sword]
Two-handed sword

The CSSS system is one of the standard weapons equipped by the security department. --

Weapon Skill: [Energy Overload]
Active skills

By actively charging, the weapon's power is released, increasing the damage caused by this weapon to 210%. Each activation consumes 3% of the durability, lasts for 30 minutes, and has a cooldown of 24 hours.

Very good, burst skill.

Nie Weiyang equipped himself with this sword, and since he had no place to put his heavy stabbing sword, he also brought it with him. As for the equipment requirements?

[Luck of Battle Experience] is the best combat experience talent!
The people outside were trying to break in, Kang Sen was calling him again, Nie Weiyang frowned, he finally looked back at the original location of the host - there was only a deep sword mark fifteen meters long, the inside of the sword mark glowed outward, spreading from the center of the room to the front of the control console, accurately blocking the point, without damaging the console, making it convenient for manual control of Shelter 4701 in the future.

He walked towards the door, took off the iron shield and slung it over his left hand, held the portable terminal and the magic walkman in his right hand, and walked out of the room.

There were dozens of people outside the room, and when they saw him come out, they all took a step back. Nie Weiyang's face turned cold. He glanced at them indifferently, and his eyes fell on Kang Sen's face in front of him. A hint of evil interest mixed with murderous intent rose in his heart.

"There are two administrators here, which one do you want to call?" he asked.

Kang Sen's face froze.
