第32章 百年器成功被抢–2
Chapter 32: Cent-Arms Successfully Stolen – 2
燕逸双目虚掩了下，胸前光环显现，三角形线条展开。
Yan Yi squinted slightly, a halo of light appearing on his chest as a triangle pattern unfolded.
[黄金档能力已发动。]
[Golden-Prime Ability Activated.]
[我想投资中意演员‘童文奇‘1000N。]
[ I want to invest 1000N in my favored actor “Tong Wenqi“.]
「给我这么多干嘛，你想让我消失吗！」
“Why are you giving me so much? Do you want me to disappear?”
少年气愤地瞪了燕逸一眼。
The young man shot Yan Yi an angry glare.
「这只是千年投资而已… 好好，那你要多少，五百？」
“This is just a millennium investment… Fine, fine, how much do you want? Five hundred?”
「我命短吗！ 给我最低的演出费就行了。」
“Do I look like I live that short a life! Just give me the minimum performance fee.”
「唉，你还真是。」
“Ah, you really are something.”
燕逸摇摇头，改变了投资的年份。
Yan Yi shook his head and altered the investment amount.
[我想投资路人角色‘童文奇‘10N。 作为收视教父，看来我并不认可他会成为一个引爆黄金档的明星。]
[I want to invest 10N in minor role ‘Tong Wenqi.‘ As the Ratings Godfather, it seems I don’t recognize his potential to become a prime-time breakout star.]
童文奇感受到收到的十年时序，脸上笑开了花。
Tong Wenqi felt the ten years of Chronos he received and his face lit up with joy.
燕逸斟酌道：「你希望那把枪被抢到还是没被抢到？」
Yan Yi weighed his words carefully: “So, do you hope that gun gets stolen, or not?”
「嚯，他们要真抢到手，那我们搞过来就简单多了。 但就杨子藏目前的表现来说，这些家伙恐怕只是去送死的吧。」
“Ha! If they really get their hands on it, snatching it from them would be a lot easier. But judging by Yang Zicang’s performance so far, those guys are probably just going to get themselves killed.”
「的确，在他身边的是那个老酒鬼，这种老油条是不会被轻易坑到的，而且… 洛宾竟然已经成功将Moexl晋升了。」
“Indeed, by his side is that old drunkard—a veteran fox who won’t fall for any cheap tricks. And besides… Robin Lo has already succeeded in upgrading Moxel.”
「肯定是从这新人身上获利的。」
“He must be profiting from this rookie.”
两人都露出羡慕的神色。
Both of them wore envious expressions.
童文奇噘著嘴里的糖果道：
Tong Wenqi rolled the candy in his mouth and said,
「虽然情理上我也不想武器真被抢劫成功。 但杨子藏看上去对我们总部有天然的抵触感，如果这把枪去到这些抢劫犯手上，我们反而容易取得这柄百年器，还能避免彻底跟杨子藏撕破脸。」
“Logically, I don’t really want the weapon to actually be successfully robbed. But Yang Zicang seems to have a natural aversion to our headquarters. If this gun ends up in the hands of those robbers, it’ll actually be easier for us to get ahold of Cent-Arms, and we can avoid a complete falling-out with Yang sub Ichio.”
「所以…」燕逸看向童文奇。
“So…” Yan Yi looked at Tong Wenqi.
「他们不是想让人都认不出来吗，那不是正好。 嘿嘿，我去帮帮这些抢劫犯。」
“They want to be unrecognizable, don’t they? Perfect. Heh, I’ll go give those robbers a hand.”
童文奇从黑色玻璃的小桌子上，抓起把坚果揣进兜里后，打开房车的门跳下，快速消失在燕逸眼中。
Tong Wenqi grabbed a handful of nuts from the small black glass table and stuffed them into his pocket, then opened the RV’s door and jumped out, quickly disappearing from Yan Yi’s sight.
世人只看中杨子藏的能力废不废，身上的好东西能不能搞得到。
The world only cares whether Yang Insan’s abilities are useful and whether they can get their hands on the good stuff he has.
但对于拥有更隐秘情报的组织与人员来说，这新诞生的四边形小子，实是另一个层面上的香饽饽。
But for organizations and individuals with access to more secretive intelligence, this newly emerged Kong Di Prince is a much more tempting target on a different level.
待搭档走后，燕逸想了想，胸口一道Moexl的光线折射了出去。
After his partner left, Yan Yi thought for a moment, and a Moxel light refracted from his chest.
「老韦，进来加速区域了吗？」
“Hey, Wedger, have you entered the acceleration zone yet?”
｛早进来了，都快到巢穴了。｝
{Came in long ago, almost at the nest.}
「哦，那就好。 对了，我这边关于杨子藏有个小情报，有人想要隐藏身份去打劫他，你要不要做个盘口来预测？」
“Oh, that’s good. By the way, I’ve got a bit of info on Yang Zicang. Someone wants to disguise themselves to rob him. Want to set up a betting pool on it?”
｛那个新四边形？ 预测他不会丢掉武器吗？｝
“That new Quad? Predicting he won’t lose his weapon?”
「别赌他赢，因为小奇会出手，不出意外那把枪会落入我们手上。」
“Don’t bet on him winning—because Xiao Qi’s going to make a move. If nothing goes wrong, that gun will end up in our hands.”
｛原来如此，嘿嘿嘿，成功预测四边形的话，说不定我的累积已经快到了。｝
“I see, hehehe. If I successfully predict the Quad, maybe my accumulated will be just about there.”
沙发上的燕逸脸上露出自信笑容，如同打电话般自言自语道：
Yan Yi on the sofa wore a confident smile, talking to himself as though on a phone call:
「是啊。 同时预测一个四边形和一柄百年器的结局，应该已经足以让你获得Moexl晋升的核心条件了。 至于预测数量的累积，咱们可以慢慢累积。」
“Yeah. Simultaneously predicting the outcome of a Quad and a Cent-Arms should already be enough for you to secure the core condition for promotion to Moxel. As for the prediction count accumulation, we can take it slow.”
心灵链接断掉，房车中男人专心看著前方。
The Syn-Link cut off, and the man in the RV focused intently on what lay ahead.
小萤幕上显示著杨子藏三人快速穿过片山林的画面。
The small screen showed Yan Zicang’s trio moving swiftly through a stretch of patchy forest.
这地区就像是突兀从废墟城市中长出来的一座小山。
This area stuck out like a small acropolis abruptly grown from the ruins of a wasted city.
燕逸嘴角微翘的看向电视上的画面。
Yan Yi’s mouth curled slightly as he looked at the image on the TV.
萤幕中的杨子藏似乎在思索著什么。
In the frame, Yang Zicang seemed lost in thought.
……
如果算上本身的寿命，加上这额外的几十年时序，应该能有一百多年时间可以使用。
Counting his original lifespan with an extra few decades of Chronos, he ought to have more than a hundred years to use.
可是这枚邮徽到底需要多少的时间呢？
But this mail emblem—how much time would it require?
杨子藏有心想要寻求它更多的资料。 但时序战器已经引来不少潜在麻烦，要是这些人得知自己还获得了完整邮徽，那在此地生存的危险系数将会大幅增长。
Yang Zicang was eager to seek more information about it. However, the Chronos weapon had already attracted considerable potential trouble—if these people found out he had also obtained the complete stamp, the risk of surviving here would skyrocket.
只能继续隐瞒下关于邮徽的资讯，直到靠它在梦境场中获得好处，才能真正安心。
He had no choice but to keep the stamp’s information concealed, and only by gaining benefits from it in the Dreamscape could he truly rest easy.
但这玩意儿需要投入五百还是一千？
But would this thing cost five hundred or a thousand?
又或者，实际上能用时序等比例延长梦境里的时间，如果是这样，那么自己的一百多年应该已经足够。
Or perhaps, in reality, Chronos could proportionally extend time in the dreams. If so, his over a hundred years should already be enough.
「要是能想办法把枪暂时送出去就更好了。 这些毫无道德的罪犯们肯定想不到，我可以远端将时序战器拿回来。」
“If only I could find a way to temporarily send the gun out. These utterly unscrupulous criminals would never imagine that I can retrieve the Chronos weapon remotely.”
这个想法一旦萌生，年轻人的心脏就砰砰直跳起来。
Once this thought took root, the young man’s heart began pounding wildly.
这真的是个可以执行的计划。
This was truly a feasible plan.
最好是在众目睽睽之下，把百年器从自己手上丢出去！
The best scenario would be to cast Cent-Arms away from his hand in full view of everyone!
这些人想争，就让他们争去吧，等自己变得更强后，再光明正大的将它展示出来。
Let them scramble for it all they want; when he grew stronger, he would display it openly.
杨子藏看向手上的银色长枪。 杀了许多狼与异界猫科生物后，长枪的表面长出了些多余的细纹，这是引力空间在通过枪排出杂质。
Yang Zicang gazed at the silver Lance in his hand. After killing many wolves and exotic feline creatures, delicate new lines had appeared on its surface—evidence of gravity space expelling impurities through the gun.
「老弟，你在想什么？」
“Bro, what are you thinking?”
「没什么。」
“Nothing much.”
杨子藏看向带路的洛宾道：「b 级交错地多吗？」
Yang Zicang looked at the guide Robin Lo and asked, “Are there a lot of B-class intersecting zones?”
「还行。 如果有频晶，那么你百分百会找到对应的交错地，我的新Moexl嘛，目前则还未发现那样的地方。」
“Not too many. If you have a frequency crystal, you’d definitely find the corresponding intersecting zone. As for my new Moxel, I haven’t discovered such a place yet.”
说完这话的洛宾稍微瞟了眼上方，天空中什么也没有。
After saying this, Robin Lo glanced slightly upward, but there was nothing in the sky.
三人边聊边来到片草木繁盛有秩之地。 现在虽然略感荒废，但看的出来此地曾经得到过不错的养护。
The trio chatted as they arrived at a patch of land lush and orderly with vegetation. Although it now seemed somewhat neglected, it was clear that this place had once been well-maintained.
「噢哟，这里在地球应该是什么植物园吧。」
“Oh wow, this should be some kind of botanical garden on Earth.”
空气中散发著幽香，洛宾看著这些名贵树木。
A faint fragrance filled the air as Robin Lo gazed at the precious trees.
「这是晟圆的内景。」 小少年道。
“This is the interior of Sheng Yuan,” said the young boy.
「晟圆？」
“Sheng Yuan?”
「嗯呢，我们家附近的别墅区，这儿我之前去过。」
“Yep, a villa area near our home. I’ve been here before.”
「呵，管它什么别墅不别墅，现在都没什么用了。」
“Heh, villa or whatever, none of it’s much use now.”
这次的裂缝入口在堆满树枝枯叶的废水池边，看上去就像个塌陷的地下管道入口。
The entrance to this crack lay by a desolate pond piled with branches and fallen leaves, looking like the opening of a collapsed underground pipe.
燕逸的显示器上从杨子藏一行进入交错地后就断掉了信号。
On Yan Yi’s monitor, the signal had been lost ever since Yang Zicang’s group entered the intersecting zone.
画面一转，如同赛车广告似的闪过几个人的相貌图案。
The scene shifted, flashing the facial images of a few people like a car advertisement.
黑衣男人从中选择了童文奇的小巧画面。
The man in black selected Tong Wenqi’s small picture from the options.
[路人角色‘童文奇‘登场！]
[Non-player character ‘Tong Wenqi’ has appeared!]
萤幕中的他已经换上了长袖长裤以及手套，头上戴著个黑布袋，外面还套著个简易猛鬼面具。
In the screen, he had already changed into long sleeves, long pants, and gloves. On his head, he wore a black cloth bag, with a simple terrifying mask over it.
童文奇正跟在几人身后往著那片有著许多繁茂树木的地方而去。
Tong Wenqi was following behind several people, heading toward an area dense with lush trees.
「这小子动作够快的。」 燕逸盯著画面自言自语。
“This guy’s fast enough.” Yan Yi muttered to himself as he watched the screen.
——「啊祥说得也对啊，我们拿到那把枪后肯定会被其它人惦记。」
——”Well, what Ah Xiang said makes sense. After we get that gun, others are bound to have their eyes on us.”
「——要不把它卖了，至少值五六千时序吧。」
——”Why not just sell it? At least worth five or six thousand Chronos.”
——「五千？ 开什么玩笑，去 b 级交错地随随便便苟段时间，要不了一年咱们人人都能成为活上几千年的神仙。」
——”Five thousand? You kidding? Just hang out in a B-class Crossover for a while, and in less than a year, every one of us could become immortals living for thousands of years.”
「这些家伙连百年器的价值都不懂。」
“These fools don’t even understand the true value of a Cent-Arms.”
燕逸胸口的Moexl闪动。
The Moxel on Yan Yi’s chest flickered.
「给我剧情总结。」
“Give me a plot summary.”
[童文奇以极快身法打倒一名上厕所的劫匪后，穿上劫匪的服装混入了正在谈论「抢劫成功后该如何利用战利品」的这只蒙面队伍。]
[Tong Wenqi, using his incredible speed, took down a bandit who had gone to the restroom. After putting on the bandit’s outfit, he blended into the masked team, which was discussing ‘what to do with the loot once the robbery succeeds.‘]
[他们即将到达杨子藏所在之地，实施设想中的邪恶计划。]
[They were about to reach Yang Zicang’s location, ready to execute their vile plan.]
[这些人会成功吗？ 仅仅是路人角色的童文奇又会有何作为？ 让我们拭目以待。]
[Will these people succeed? And what will Tong Wenqi, a mere walk-on character, do? Let’s wait and see.]
过程跟自己猜得一样。
The process was playing out exactly as he had guessed.
燕逸得意于自己的Moexl能力。
Yan Yi smirked, proud of his Moxel ability.
只要是投资过的人，在至第二日晚八点前都能获得他们的相关情报。
Anyone who has been Invested can obtain their related information until 8 PM the following day.
并且Moexl还能选择一人进行即时直播。
Additionally, Moxel can select one person for a live broadcast in real time.
自己虽然只是三角形，但其价值已经超过了普通四边形的能力。
Though he was merely a triangle, his value had already surpassed that of an ordinary Quad’s ability.
「小奇，他们没发现你，放心吧。」
“Xiao Qi, they didn’t find you. Don’t worry.”
｛我晓得。｝
{I know.}
嘿嘿，自己在地球时，虽然只是个导播，可在这儿却如同神灵。 千里眼、顺风耳，皆在这一个Moexl之中。
Heh heh, back on Earth, he was just a director, but here he was like a god. Clairvoyance and clairaudience—all contained within this single Moxel.
……
另一边的新月级交错地内，杨子藏、洛宾以及少年梁喜三人正稳固好了第二块幕影区域。
On the other side, within the Crescent-level intertwined space, Yang Zicang, Robin Lo, and the young Liang Xi had just stabilized the second Shadow Canvas Zone.
这是处从各种不断变化的区域中选出来的大型建筑的内部环境。
This was the interior environment of a large structure selected from among various ever-changing zones.
三人歇了口气。
The three took a breather.
「这楼梯就像剧场，这儿不会真是剧场吧。 我以前看过百老汇的视频，里面有个什么猛鬼剧场就是这造型。」洛宾道。
“This staircase looks like a theater. It’s not really a theater, is it? I once watched a video about Broadway, and there was this haunted theater inside that looked just like this,” said Robin Lo.
站在 Y 字形弧形楼梯右侧的杨子藏皱了皱眉：「猛鬼剧场，百老汇？ 有这出剧吗？」
Yang Zicang, standing on the right side of the Y-shaped curved staircase, frowned. “Haunted theater, Broadway? Is that a real play?”
梁喜道：「大叔，你说的是不是《歌剧魅影》。」
Liang Xi said, “Uncle, are you talking about *The Phantom of the Opera*?”
「什么玩意儿？ 嗯，或许吧，我忘了。 真是可惜，它都没办法用来烧火。」
“What the heck? Hmm, maybe. I forgot. Too bad—it’s not even fit for burning as firewood.”
洛宾敲了敲石质的弧形楼梯。
Robin knocked on the stone curved staircase.
将一只肌肉变得如袋鼠般强壮的梅花鹿刺落坠地的杨子藏嘴角抽搐了下。
Yang Zicang’s mouth twitched slightly as a sika deer, its muscles as powerful as a kangaroo’s, was pierced and fell to the ground.
歌剧魅影和猛鬼剧场的联系，好吧…
The connection between The Phantom of the Opera and the Haunted Theater… well.
入口处传来阵喧哗。
A commotion arose at the entrance.
「有人！」
“Someone’s here!”
三人看向那边，草丛幕景区域中冲出七道蒙著面的人影。
The three of them looked over—seven masked figures burst out from the grassy stage scenery area.
「杨子藏！」
“Yang Zicang!”
「那就是时序战器？ 果然是精致漂亮的武器。」
“Is that the Chronos weapon? A truly exquisite and beautiful armament.”
瞧见他们的装束，梁喜心中一跳。
Seeing their attire, Liang Xi’s heart skipped a beat.
不用多说，这些蒙面的家伙肯定是来找麻烦的。
No need to say more—these masked bastards were clearly here to cause trouble.
梁喜看了眼杨大哥，发现他也是神色凝重，正当他心中更为担忧时，忽然像是瞧见杨子藏的脸色居然带上了丝喜色。
Liang Xi glanced at Brother Yang, noticing his grave expression. Just as his own anxiety deepened, he suddenly thought he saw a hint of delight flicker across Yang Zicang’s face.
不过那表情一闪而逝。
But the expression vanished in an instant.
「欸？」 梁喜擦了擦眼，身前杨大哥依旧神色肃穆，刚才是自己看错了？
“Huh?” Liang Xi rubbed his eyes. Before him, Brother Yang’s face remained solemn. Had he misread it just now?
「果然在这里，老弟，你跟得不错。」
“So you’re here, bro. You’ve done well tailing him.”
对面笑呵呵的赞扬其中一人。
The man on the other side chuckling praised one of their own.
洛宾神色不善的握紧武器，上前一步：
Robin Lo gripped his weapon tightly with hostility, stepping forward:
「诸位，既然是进交错地搞时序的，为什么都蒙著面呢！」
“Gentlemen, since you’re all after the Chronos in the Cross Realm, why the masks!”
瞧见那杆枪此刻真在杨子藏手上，余晨一行人心中狂喜。
Seeing the spear now in Yang Zicang’s hands, a surge of exhilaration coursed through Yu Chen and his group.
姓曹的变著声喝道：「姓杨的，把枪交出来，我们就马上离开。 如果打算融资续命，我们就强上了！」
The man named Cao shouted in a distorted voice, “Hey, Yang, hand over the gun and we’ll leave immediately. If you’re trying to get more cash to stay alive, we’ll just take it by force!”
杨子藏咬牙：「你们还真是有效率。」
Yang Zicang gritted his teeth and said, “You guys sure are efficient.”
他胸前Moexl圆圈亮起，四边形迅速扩散开来，融入虚空。
The Moxel circle on his chest lit up, and Quad rapidly expanded, merging into the void.
「诸位老板，有人想抢我的时序战器，谁助我将这些蠢货赶走，以后我必定报答他。」
“Ladies and gentlemen, someone wants to steal my Chronos weapon. Anyone who helps me drive these fools away will be repaid by me in the future.”
方圆数十里范围内的无数人都接收到了这Moexl的融资请求。
Countless people within a radius of dozens of miles all received Moxel’s crowdfunding request.
[我，伟大的四边形开始战斗融资。]
[I, the great Quad, commence battle crowdfunding.]
