Chapter 318
Chapter 318: Shocking Change
I was sure that the strength of the "giant turtle" and "giant octopus" was almost the same. I also expected that under my interference, the "giant turtle" could severely damage the "giant octopus" with my help, but the only thing I didn't expect or missed was that the "giant octopus" would run away.
In the previous attack, the "giant turtle" really seriously injured the "giant octopus", but unfortunately, when the "giant octopus" escaped desperately, there was no way for the "giant turtle", let alone me.
I saw that the "giant octopus" was wrapped in a black energy that was weaker than before, and it was swiftly towards the distance at a speed faster than my "Phoenix Battle Rider", leaving a white wave on the sea. I could only stare blankly as the prey, which was supposed to be my bag, disappeared quickly from my sight.
It seemed as if I felt the depression of my mood. During the whole process, I was in the "lightning sculpture" of the audience, and it sounded like a "chubby" sound, and it seemed to comfort me through spiritual perception.
Seeing the "Lightning Eagle" flying beside me, I smiled slightly. Yes, I don't have to feel frustrated at all. With my current strength, I can't defeat monsters at the same level as "giant octopus" and "giant turtle". It's already a huge achievement to be able to restrain them with my own strength. I should be proud of this! In the game, which player can do this to such an extent?
not to mention--
"Thank you, my friend. If it weren't for you this time, I would probably be a little dangerous." An old voice appeared in my mind.
Without thinking, I knew that this was the sound of a "giant turtle". I was not surprised at all that it could speak. After all, if a giant monster like the "giant turtle" who should be above a spirit beast, would be a bit bad if it could not speak. But I don't know how to answer. The distance between us is more than a thousand meters, so did I scream at the verge of my voice?
But I don’t have to do anything next moment, because the old voice sounded again: “After this time, I need to find a place to practice. To thank you for your help this time, I will leave you a gift. I hope we can see you next time!”
After saying that, I felt an object flying quickly towards the sky, but according to the force of gravity, it almost stopped moving to my height. While the object flew towards me, the "giant sea turtle" on the sea began to slowly dive into the sea, and then quickly disappeared within my spiritual perception range.
Half a minute later, a huge hexagonal turtle shell appeared in my sight. If I was not mistaken, it should be part of the turtle shell on the "giant turtle". It might even be dropped because of the extremely powerful confrontation before.
The turtle shell, which is twice as big as my "Phoenix Battle Rider", is displayed as the turtle shell of a thousand-year-old turtle under my "fire eyes" and it also made me know that the real name of the "giant sea turtle" is "black turtle", which is a familiar name, and it is the name of the bosses of the "stone turtle" who brought me a lot of benefits.
I don't know if the two are of the same type, but I definitely know that this huge turtle shell is definitely a huge gift to me.
The "Sun Power" and "Taihua Power" have no effect on it. The "Yin and Yang Map" that combines the "Sun God Fist" and "Taihua Divine Palm" only leaves a faint mark on it. After two seconds, this blue-white mark also disappeared. In this way, I dare not use the "Ground Blade" to test its hardness. After all, even if I don't feel sorry for the turtle shell, I will feel sorry for my "Ground Blade".
The attributes of equipment have changed greatly after the system is adjusted. Basic attack, defense, weight bearing and durability have also disappeared. The only remaining one is the accompanying skills, and some equipment will not even appear. Anyway, the equipment will only be explored by themselves to maximize their potential.
The "Weapon Ranking" originally announced by the official has no longer been refreshed from the day it reopens, and ownership has also been transferred from the government to the "Ranker Association". Only when the equipment is certified by the "Ranker Association" and proves that it is within the top 100, will the "Weapon Ranking" be included.
However, based on the players' awareness of confidentiality, it is probably that except for those players who want to become famous with weapons and other equipment, they rarely contribute specific information about their powerful weapons and equipment. So it can be imagined that in the future game time, the "Ranker Association"'s "Weapon Rankings" will become a reference material. On the contrary, it is a ranking list organized by newspapers and magazines. By collecting various information, the information on weapons and equipment will be listed in detail and then ranking it.
After getting this turtle shell, I knew that I had the most powerful defensive equipment in the game, unless there were ancient defensive equipment like "Tiger Devour" in the game. It was originally the best choice to turn a very thin turtle shell into a shield or armor, but after seeing the turtle shell's hardness and inviolability of water and fire, I knew that this plan was temporarily put on hold.
Of course, it is another good idea to make it a "flying chariot". However, it is obviously a bit troublesome when setting up the "Five Elements Array". I dare not easily transform the turtle shell. If the transformation fails, it will waste such a treasure. So in the end, I can only place the Five Elements "Soul Bead" on the surface of the turtle shell.
Although this can also allow the turtle shell to take off and fly, once it encounters a powerful attack, the turtle shell will certainly not be damaged, but the "soul bead" is different. The "soul bead" placed on the surface of the turtle shell is easily damaged, and it will be troublesome at that time. Therefore, the turtle shell of this "thousand-year-old turtle" can only be regarded as a collectible for a period of time.
Putting away the turtle shell, I flew towards the sea with the "Lightning Eagle" and "Black Spirit", of course, to see if there are any relics in the war. However, after a few minutes of searching, I was disappointed to find that there was nothing else, even the large piece of blood had been diluted. The sea's characteristic of inclusiveness of everything is fully revealed here.
Three days later, I returned to "Iron Blood City" without stopping, and then began training for "Lightning Charm" and "Wu Ling". Compared with the training process of other players I knew later, my training was obviously simpler and much smoother, because fine wine and food became their biggest motivation.
Not only that, since I tasted my fine wine mixed with spring water, the "Lightning Charm" and "Wu Ling" have actually lost interest in that pure raw wine, and even the aging wine has not aroused their interest.
When I discovered this situation, I also tasted the raw wine that I hadn't drunk for a long time. Compared with the fine wine mixed with spring water, the raw wine is still extremely mellow, but it obviously loses a taste, a taste that cannot be expressed in words.
In comparison, even I like this kind of wine that has been mixed. This strange situation made me wonder in my mind what kind of chemical reaction occurred between the spring and the wine that would have such magical characteristics. It seems that every time I encounter a spring or stream in the future, I will collect some of them to discover more types of wine that have been mixed.
Relying on my unique means, I constantly trained "Lightning Eagle" and "Wu Ling", from the first few thousand meters to the later dozens of kilometers, to the later hundreds of kilometers and cross-city release training. Facts have proved that whether it is only one "Lightning Eagle" or a group of "Wu Ling", they are all natural information transmitters.
With just one training, they can remember the place they need to return. In addition, the intelligence of "Lightning" and "Wu Ling" themselves enables them to understand what I say, so even if I temporarily change the delivery location and the city, they can accurately deliver the letters.
In two months, I finally completed all the training topics and placed half of the "Wuling" in the branches of the "Longhuxuan" cities in the "Oriental Continent". As for the other half, I will wait for news from Zhang San, because negotiations on the transfer of shop owners of the "Western Continent" are still in progress.
Compared to the kind of success in the "Eastern Continent", Zhang San obviously encountered some difficulties when facing the store owners of the "Western Continent". Although I have become the number one person in the game world now, in the business world in the game, Zhang San is still just a celebrity in the "Eastern Continent" and cannot make a huge reputation in the "Western Continent".
In addition, the merchants in the "Western Continent" have truly achieved profit-oriented efforts and have continuously blackmailed during the negotiation process, which has delayed the Haikou that Zhang San originally praised to the present.
"Ink, it's so difficult! The bastards in the 'Western continent' seem to have colluded, and the asking price is very high. Even with the half-price subsidy of the 'Iron Blood Sect', it's still a large amount. I think this is obviously someone is targeting us specifically!"
The high speed of "Wuling" is of course the best way to transmit intelligence at present. Of course, I will not forget my "Iron Blood Sect". So after some negotiations with "Kongkonger", we reached an information transmission plan.
My "Longhuxuan" will be a part of the "Iron Blood Sect" intelligence system, but in terms of ownership, it still belongs to me. However, several members of "Iron Blood Sect" will be arranged as intelligence information officers in "Longhuxuan" and "Iron Blood Sect" will be responsible for the sales of goods. For this reason, "Longhuxuan" and "Iron Blood Sect" pay half of the salary each. By the way, buying goods in the store now does not directly pass the card swipe, but pay cash, silver, and gold.
Similarly, at the barrier leading to the "Wilderness World", I also turned the original card-scraping setting into a coin-switching setting. With the previous experience of connecting the "Five Elements Array" and "Card Swipe" to the "Card Swipe" this time, it was very smooth to change it. The only thing I need to worry about is that the members of the "Iron Blood Gate" guarding there were stolen, but the arrangement of changing a group of personnel on average eight hours a week minimized this possibility. And even if this happens, it is a choice that is not worth the effort compared to my high salary.
After listening to Zhang San's detailed description of those players, I frowned slightly. Now the prices of shops purchased from the government in the game world are not much different. The most important thing is to choose the location. Of course, the price of the good location is higher, but the government stipulates that it must not exceed twice the standard price given by the government; while those shops in remote locations and poor business can be reduced to one-quarter of the standard price.
Every store we choose is a very remote type. As long as we add the "Longhuxuan" sign after opening and then promote it with my fame, there is no reason not to be popular. However, according to the shop owners we negotiated with Zhang San, none of them set the price below 1.5 times the standard price.
This extreme situation forced Zhang San to seek help from the "Military Information Office" of the "Iron Blood Sect" to conduct relevant investigations. However, the result was that no matter which one of the shop owners received the letter delivered by the store that was set up by the public information transmission store, they would receive another letter. Needless to say, someone specifically got the right to us "Longhuxuan" or me.
I searched my memories and did not find such an enemy with such ability to report. And what surprised me was why I was not hindered in the "Eastern Continent" but was treated like this differently in the "Western Continent"?
Is this the protection of the "Western Continent" causing trouble? It should not be that Westerners put the interests of the people first, and only by obtaining more benefits will we treat us like this. You must know that Zhang San negotiated this business at 80% of the standard price. With the remote location of those stores, the other party had no reason not to agree.
"Continue to talk to someone, the price becomes half of the standard price until I find a store owner who is willing to sell the store to ours." I smiled coldly: "Since they have a lot of money, I will try my best to consume it. Hire the twelve members of the "Iron Blood Sect" to come to talk to the store owners every day. I want to see how many gold coins the mice hidden in the dark can consume to stop this situation."
"Okay. But this is not a solution. We always have to buy stores in the 'Western continent', otherwise it will not only be a big problem for your information transmission in the future, but also the development of our 'Longhuxuan' itself will become a big problem."
"You don't have to worry about this. They will guard against us, but they should not guard against Western players like Norman and Nick, right? Even if it really doesn't work in the end, I can still use Nick's store to expand my business."
During the next period of time, while Zhang San used my method to consume money from the secretly gangster, he contacted the two "Norman" and "Nick" who were already familiar with him, and asked them to help buy the store, and then transferred it to me at a slightly higher price. The difference here was used as a reward this time.
Faced with such a good thing as giving money, the two of them happily agreed. As they ran separately, the twelve remote small shops were placed under my name. The success of "Norman" and "Nick" made me know that the intelligence ability of the mastermind behind the scenes was not omnipotent, which made me relieved, who was originally slightly worried.
And the twelve members of the "Iron Blood Sect" who openly represent the acquisition plan of "Longhuxuan" to launch the acquisition plan for those store owners were indeed rejected. Every time they entered a store and directly met the store owner, a few seconds later, a Western player would also enter and compete with them.
Of course, although I was surprised by this situation, these twelve members of the "Iron Blood Sect" still followed the plan perfectly. After raising the prices of these stores to the standard price, they gave up bidding and then headed towards the next store. At this time, another Western player would appear in this new store, destroying their store purchase behavior.
This cycle was not until a month later. Zhang San calculated initially that at least he had consumed billions of gold coins from the mastermind behind the scenes. Only then did I realize that the situation was wrong, because if I were really just to prevent me from buying a store, I would never have paid such a huge fee. But now this fact is in front of me, what does it mean? It means that this mastermind was originally coming for these stores, and the behavior that prevented me was just by the way.
Even so, the mastermind behind this still consumed at least one billion gold coins, which was of no benefit to the other party. However, the subsequent investigation by the "Military Information Agency" showed that not only the remote shops selected by members of the "Iron Blood Sect" sent by Zhang San encountered this situation, but other similar shops also encountered this situation.
This reminded me of a possibility, that is, this is simply a monopoly act of a large group. As long as I buy all the stores, I can control a large area of a city in my own hands, and billions of gold coins are equivalent to buying a village. In this way, it would be a good idea to prevent me from buying a store smoothly.
Next, the information from the "MINIS" was limited, and the mastermind behind the scenes could not be found. Until two months later, all the stores were replaced with a unified prefix - Sunbukuro Group.
However, now I don’t pay much attention to these things. Anyway, the store has been successfully obtained, and I have completed my "Wu Ling" placement mission in the "Western Continent". In addition to the four "Wu Lings" in each "Longhu Xuan" branch, half of the remaining "Wu Lings" are placed in the "Longhu Xuan Auction House", and the other half are with "Wu Ling King" and "Lightning Eagle" to facilitate the transmission of information anytime and anywhere.
Of course, in order to ensure the safety of these "Black Spirits", I specially used various elixirs, "Thousand-year Red Fruit" and "Bodhizi" to improve their abilities. The direct result is that the fastest-flying "Lightning Eagle" now has exceeded about a quarter of my "Phoenix War Cavalry".
This speed increase made "Kongkonger" who had high expectations for it very happy. I was very depressed because when flying with "Lightning Eagle" and "Wu Ling", I needed them to deliberately slow down the speed to keep up.
Faced with this situation, I felt a ruthless heart and began to re-transform the "Phoenix War Cavalry". I added several new "Five Elements Formations" in terms of propulsion power. Finally, I finally barely increased the maximum speed of the "Phoenix War Cavalry" to a level that was not much different from them. Of course, this was when the "Phoenix War Cavalry" itself no longer allowed me to undergo any extra transformation.
Since I completed the resettlement of "Wuling" in the "Longhuxuan" branch of "Western Continent", I have completely relaxed. After completing a not-so-difficult "gang mission" as Moshui and helping "Iron Blood Sect" gain "gang reputation" of dozens of points, I started to explore the game world and take an adventure life again.
This time, I did not aim at the monster-killing places that I once regarded as the target, but instead focused my attention on the ocean. The vast ocean is definitely a huge space, a space for monster-killing. Even the ocean monsters I already know now can greatly attract my attention.
However, just as I was about to launch an attack on the Ocean World, two extremely shocking news came from the game world. The first news was that I could feel the news brought by the "Wuling" in the position of "Wuling King" on the way to the ocean.
According to the news, two days ago, on March 9, 2018, three famous masters were killed in a valley northeast of "Yanhuang City". According to the three people who have been resurrected, they were killed by a "demon man" who looked like a human head but had a pair of horns. His martial arts were so high that they could not react among players and were killed.
Compared to the powerful equipment in the hands of the three masters, this "demon man" had a bare hands and was completely relying on his fists to knock the three into the gate of hell. In fact, they had no idea that the "demon man" was not a player before, because a strange hair style "demon man" completely covered up his characteristics.
If the player who had a fairy weapon level equipment in his hand was not willing to be killed like this, he would have activated a self-harm skill of the immortal weapon that was not on the Weapon Rankings (even the strength of the undead characters would have been greatly reduced), and gave the "demon" a fierce attack and successfully broke the other party's hair bun, forcing the other party to reveal their flaws, they would have thought that this was a "unfathomable" level master disguised by a master like me.
When I saw this situation, my first feeling was that the "demons" mentioned by the three players were the "Shura" clan that I had always been worried about. Because in the narrative of "Bul Demon King", there is a branch of the "Shura" clan, which is a human with two black horns on its head. If this is true, there will be many disasters and difficulties in the game in the future.
Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the "Shura" clan has not shown a large-scale invasion. It should be a long time before the situation I am worried about.
Just as I quickly returned to "Iron Blood City" and wanted to discuss this matter with "Kongkonger", another "Black Spirit" appeared in my spiritual perception. This time, I got an equally shocking news, which came from the "Western Continent".
On March 9, 2018, Xiongbali, a similar situation occurred in an ancient ruin of "Sharton City" in the Western continent. However, this time the protagonist was replaced by a "vampire", and more than 100 players on the scene were all sucked dry and died. According to the players who were resurrected in the Temple of Light, their sight could not keep up with the speed of the "vampire", and the residual image was all the situations they could see.
Even though several players have judged the route of the "vampire" to move, there is no time to react. Before launching the most powerful attack or the most powerful defense, they feel a pain in their neck, and then all the blood, along with life and the energy of the whole body, quickly flows away, becoming a mummy.
Receiving these two messages in a row made me calm down from my original anxiety. Since these powerful human-shaped monsters appeared on both continents at the same time, it must be the setting of the game company. A powerful and representative monster appears is very necessary for a game.
According to my gaming experience, this is the prelude to creating a good life for game life. Generally, in the future, these two monsters will attract the attention of all players, and encircling them will become a major theme in game life.
If this is the case, then it will not be the invasion of the "Shura" clan that I am worried about. Or even if the "Demon" with a long head and feet is the "Shura" clan, it is only a few individuals who can enter the human world. In this way, it will take a long time before the "Shura" clan formally invades. Then I don't have to worry so much.
After sending my judgment to the "Longhuxuan Auction House" through "Wu Ling", I turned the direction of the "Phoenix Battle Cavalry" again and flew towards the vast sea again.
