Chapter 277 If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools
"The Holy See has always been the main force against Dracula, and almost every few years it organizes a crusade against Dracula's castle, but the result is ...... I can only say hehe.
After repeated defeats, the Holy See was forced to put down its noble status and cooperate with the secular monarchy, providing weapons and equipment specifically for monsters, and surrounding countries providing funds, in the form of issuing bounties, mercenaries were hired to continuously levy Dracula, and the tactics of the sea of people were used to deal with the tactics of the monster sea, which maintained the front line of Dracula's continuous advancement of the human world. ”
"The natives can only stop the invasion of the Dracula Legion with the strength of the whole country, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to complete our mission this time......"
Lao Man pinched the beard on his chin and dragged a mouthful of storytelling, this old man has been playing soy sauce with the team since he entered the legendary place, and he has almost no sense of zài, and it is rare to express his own opinions, which also shows that he is really not very optimistic about this mission.
"Lao Man, don't put too much pressure on you, there is a tall man on top of the sky falling, this mission is jointly carried out by multi-national dream walkers, if you don't think it's okay, just continue to follow behind and make soy sauce......"
Guo Yimin's fleshy palm patted Lao Man's hump-like hunchback, and he didn't know whether he was saying cool words or really comforting.
"Hmph, I don't have a big ambition." Padio pouted disdainfully.
"This is a bit of a line, it can only be said that a person has a way of living......" Dongzi inserted a wire into the keyhole of the hotel lock, cracked it open it with a few clicks, and then nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone signed the agreement of the HX Research Institute, but it was just to survive in death, and the lives that were picked up by nine deaths should be cherished, of course, it should be cherished." ”
Seeing that Huang Hao, who was polishing the arrows, he couldn't help nodding, Li Mengnan said unexpectedly: "Haozi, you think so too?" ”
Huang Hao raised the arrow in front of him, blew off the bone powder grinding on the surface, roughly detected the sharpness with his fingertips, and then put it aside, continued to grind the next one, and said indifferently without raising his head: "I never wanted to be a warrior, even if I became a dreamwalker, I was just an ordinary college student, I just wanted to live well, for my family, for myself......"
Li Mengnan believes that Huang Hao is definitely not the only one who has this kind of thought, but everyone hides it in their hearts, and few people take the initiative to say it on the surface like this.
Although the function of the dreamwalker is similar to that of a soldier, the unique and cruel selection method dooms that the dreamwalker cannot be equated with a soldier, almost every one of them has crawled back from the edge of hell, and they can understand the preciousness of life better than anyone else, and it is simply impossible to make them sacrifice for the so-called national righteousness.
Under this negative state of mind, it is not surprising that the idea of "being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day" will arise.
Padio, who was sitting on the windowsill, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, jumped off the ground in a moment, and said coldly: "If you all think so, then it's better to make a will as soon as possible, anyway, you won't live long." ”
"I'm rubbing! Do you speak human words? I don't fight women, but I beat you, a pseudo-mother, Lao Tzu has absolutely no pressure! Guo Yimin got up, and the water cup shook down on the floor, spilling a slippery trace.
"Guo Yimin, sit down! Let Padio finish talking! ”
Although there has been no election, the whole team has begun to faintly center on Li Mengnan, although Guo Yimin does not like Padio, but he does not dare to disobey the order.
"Padio, just say what you want to say, don't be so cynical." Li Mengnan frowned, padio, this pseudo-lady has good ability, but unfortunately she is too capable of pulling hatred.
Padio glanced at Li Mengnan unexpectedly, and said with a smile: "It seems that not all idiots here, there are still people who understand, for the sake of getting along with the team, I will make it clear to you."
Have you taken a closer look at the contract you signed? There is a clause on it stating that the Institute will arrange tasks that match the Dreamwalker's ability level, and under this premise, the Dreamwalker cannot refuse to carry out the mission. ”
"I've read this, are there any questions?" Guo Yimin wondered.
Li Mengnan thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and said in a deep voice: "This is a pit. ”
"That's right, this seemingly reasonable clause is actually a big hole dug for all dreamwalkers."
Padio pulled out the large dagger from under her skirt and used it as a pen to carve it directly on the wooden table in the inn.
"The strength of a dreamwalker is generally divided into two parts - its own four bases and legendary objects.
The level calculation of the Dream Walker is distinguished by the total number of four base values, that is, the calculation of nakedness, and does not count the legendary objects it owns, but what really opens the strength of the Dream Walker is the number and level of the legendary objects it has. ”
Padio stopped abruptly at this, and stood by with a sneer on his face, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
Guo Yimin and the others' faces were a little ugly, because they had not had time to think about these things carefully because they had not been dreamwalkers for a short time, padio's words were undoubtedly ruthlessly tearing apart the dreamwalker's seemingly tall and gorgeous skin, exposing the cruelty and ruthlessness hidden below to everyone without concealment.
That's right, the HX Institute doesn't force all dreamwalkers to risk their lives to kill them when they carry out their missions, and you can fight all the way down with soy sauce if you want to.
But then what?
Dream walkers do not have the right to refuse missions, and as the mission level increases, even if they follow a large army to fight soy sauce, the dangers they have to face are multiplied.
Imagine being confronted with an overwhelming array of nightmares, surrounded by guns and cannons around you who can't be armed to the teeth, and you pitifully pull out a knife - it's really unreasonable to not die like this.
In fact, as long as you think about it, you can understand that how could a large organization like the HX Research Institute, which is secretly supported by the state, even make a connection device that allows ordinary people to enter the world of Gaia, make such a big mistake in the contract, so that the Dream Walker has a loophole to exploit?
Escaping may be able to survive for a while, but it will undoubtedly send you to a dead end, and in the end, you will inevitably sadly find that you don't even have a chance to fight.
Only by fighting, grabbing, constantly honing oneself in high-intensity battles, and trying to obtain more powerful legendary artifacts to increase one's strength, can one live longer than others in the future.
His gaze swept over the constipated faces of Guo Yimin and the others, and Padio suddenly added: "Of course, if you can awaken your own alien body, then it will be a different matter. ”
"Why do you say that?"
Although Li Mengnan is an alien dreamwalker, he doesn't know much about alien things.
Padio was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mengnan with a thoughtful expression, as if he understood something, and said with a slight smile: "Although the legend is strong, but after all, it comes from the legendary place, and every Qiē information is traceable, but each person's alien body is unique, and it is the final hole card of each alien dream walker, and if you use it well, you can completely determine the outcome of a battle."
And the ability of the alien body can increase with the increase of the level of the dreamwalker, as long as there is enough perseverance and time, it is completely possible to cultivate the theoretical super S-class variant, and it is much more difficult to obtain the super S-level legendary object. ”
Awakening the alien body is easy to say, but in fact, the conditions are extremely harsh, otherwise the number of alien dreamwalkers will not be very few among all dreamwalkers, Guo Yimin waved his hand disapprenorovingly: "Don't talk about this, the dreamwalkers who can awaken into their own bodies are already smoking from the graves of their ancestors, and the alien dreamwalkers are so tall, I don't dare to think about it...... Let's talk about the mission. ”
"Padio, tell me what you think."
As the temporary captain, Li Mengnan didn't want a team member to be isolated from the team, and used this mission analysis to deliberately give Padio, a poisonous pseudo-girl, a chance to integrate into the team.
Padio said: "Time passes faster in the legendary land than in the real world, according to the official number, the time ratio between the legendary land and the real world is about 20 to 1.
That is, we are here for twenty days, and the real world is just over for a whole day.
This mission is a time-based mission, and the entire mission lasts for seven days, which means that unless we complete the mission early and destroy the core of the legendary land, Dracula's Castle, we will have to wait patiently here for more than four months before we can return to the real world. ”
"I really haven't been off the Internet for 140 days......" Guo Yimin lay on the table in frustration and grabbed his hair.
"You're too jumpy." Huang Hao inserted the polished bone arrow into the quiver and asked Li Mengnan, "Brother Li, do you think it is possible to complete the task ahead of schedule?" ”
"If all the dreamwalkers who entered the legendary land this time can concentrate their forces together, and then use the power of the natives to contain some of the Dracula legions, maybe there is still a possibility of completion, but it's a pity that ......"
Li Mengnan shook his head regretfully, in fact, there is no need to continue, everyone can understand that the particularity of the Dream Walker is destined to be impossible to command and obey orders unconditionally like a real army, not to mention that these more than 200 people are still from dozens of different countries and regions.
"It's impossible for the research institute not to be aware of this situation, and destroying the core of the legendary land can only be wishful thinking on the part of the Romanian government, and I believe that the vast majority of all the countries that sent Dream Walkers this time should have come to loot the legendary artifacts...... Therefore, whether or not they can destroy the core of the legendary land should not be in their consideration. ”
Padio has a rather unique insight.
Li Mengnan nodded and said, "It's indeed very possible. ”
"That means that our real mission is not to face Dracula directly with the vampire Count, but to scrape the world's legends as much as possible?"
Guo Yimin and the others' faces couldn't help but relax a lot, collecting legendary objects and killing Dracula were completely two levels of difficulty.
"It can't be said that from the information gathered so far, the most likely place in this world to store a large number of legendary artifacts is Dracula's Castle, which is the core area, and if you want to obtain powerful and rare legendary artifacts, you must enter it, and it is not ruled out that there will be an encounter with the legendary Dracula......"
Li Mengnan didn't want everyone to have this kind of luck mentality, so he poured a basin of cold water quite badly.
Because of Padio's words before, Guo Yimin and others recognized the reality regardless of whether they could accept it or not, so their mentality adjusted quickly.
Wealth is in danger, although it is forced to work hard by the dog = day, but after all, it is better than not even having a chance to fight.
"Brother Li, what to do now, we listen to you!"
Guo Yimin patted his chest to show his loyalty, and Huang Hao and Lao Man also echoed him.
They knew very well in their hearts that with their own strength, they did not have the capital to fight alone, and if they wanted to make the first pot of gold in their dream walker careers in this mission, they had to rely on the strength of the entire team.
"There are two things we need to do now - first, find out the whereabouts of the other teams. Even if you can't unite them, at least you need to know their general actions.
Second, get equipment. Whether it's a crusade against Dracula's castle or defending ourselves in this world, it is absolutely impossible to do without weapons, and we must arm ourselves to the best of our ability, even with the worst weapons. ”
It was impossible to make any decent plans for a day after coming to this world, and the only thing Li Mengnan could think of at the moment were these two things.
Intelligence and strength -- in fact, no matter what world you are in, as long as you grasp these two points, you will never be wrong.
Lao Man's rough palm rubbed the water cup back and forth, and said slowly: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools...... Needless to say, let's really prepare some weapons, no guy has a guy in hand, and I always feel unsure. ”
In this legendary world, muskets have been invented, but they are only very primitive smoothbore guns, and due to the complexity and high cost of manufacturing, coupled with the miserable accuracy, although they are not included in the ranks of contraband that are not allowed to be possessed by the people, it is difficult to see them on the market.
The blacksmith shop in the town is still dominated by all kinds of cold weapons, and the quality is so-so, but all kinds of agricultural tools are quite exquisitely made.
It's a pity that even a weapon of this kind is not something that Li Mengnan and others can have at this moment, the reason is very simple, two words - no money.
"Brother Li, why don't we just grab a vote!"
Guo Yimin reluctantly put down a pair of short-handled battle axes, his role in the game is a minotaur warrior, and he has always wanted to try the double axe, a fierce weapon.
Guo Yimin's mention did make Li Mengnan a little moved, this is an ancient world with low productivity, the value of iron tools is almost equal to the same weight of currency, with their kind of situation that their pockets are cleaner than their faces, if they blindly follow the rules, they are afraid that they will not be able to afford a knife handle until the end of the task time.
Li Mengnan was about to signal everyone to prepare, when suddenly a black horse stopped in front of the blacksmith shop with a snort, and a gray-clothed man in a tattered linen cloak jumped off the horse and slapped a broken long sword on the counter.
