Chapter 101: Preparations
Stone Carving Town, the second largest city in the small world of W-123299, is inhabited by many human and mushroom people, and its commerce is also quite developed.
Like the capitals, their prosperity is largely due to external factors.
Because of its proximity to the outside world, the capital of the mushroom people often becomes the first stop of visitors, and it naturally becomes the center of the world.
And Stone Carving Town, next to the entrance and exit of another world, Y-212324 is not a peaceful world.
Not long after entering the era of the Great Collision, the beasts that escaped from it had brought the mushroom people to the point of extinction, if the humans hadn't come....... Now, that dangerous world has long become the main source of income for this small world.
Although the small world of mushroom people is rich and peaceful, it is too small, and the potential can be seen through at a glance, except for fruits, vegetables and fruits, there are basically no eye-catching specialties, and the products are only enough to feed those little ones who watch the sky and eat.
But the world of Y-212324 is different, it is a meat-eater wasteland, and the resources and specialties are quite abundant....... The premise is that you are the hunter and not the prey.
Just collecting some toll taxes and second-hand trade of goods, the stone carving town is quite nourishing.
Now, the firefly cart is parked just outside the town.
Not long ago, Zheng Li personally went out once and made an unplanned big purchase....... Yes, unplanned, it was originally one step away from the target world, and there were towns in it that were more suitable for renovation, and now the reserve of carts is still slow, and there is no need to stop at all.
If you want to buy special goods to bring back to the city, wouldn't it be better to load them when you go back? It's a little strange that this suddenly disrupts the planned deployment.
"I think it's better to adjust it first."
Very simple words, as the leader of the team, Zheng Li does not need to explain to anyone.
Although the scholars in the R&D department were a little hesitant, they would not just delay for a day, and complain about something with the war group, but now it is much faster than planned.
Most of the members thought that Zheng Li just suddenly wanted to take a day off and adjust his state before facing the next challenge.
But when he went out in the morning and came back at dusk, he actually carried a large trailer with him, so he knew that he was not playing false.
The most incredible thing is that he actually dragged back a bed crossbow.
That's right, the kind of war machine of the Middle Ages, the kind of bed crossbow that is placed on the city wall, the kind made of wood, the kind drawn by animal tendons and turntables.
This is a technique that the mushroom people of Stone Carving Town learned from humans a long time ago and used to attack the beasts of the alien world....... Among the Mushroom People, it also has the legendary title "Merciful Slayer".
Well, that's right, the merciful killer, as a killer who has never seen blood from birth to retirement, has always been placed in the most conspicuous place on the wall, which is indeed merciful enough.
After Zheng Li came back, in the eyes of everyone's puzzled eyes, he installed this bed crossbow not far from the anti-aircraft gun....... The juxtaposition of these antiques and modern antiques makes people feel even more subtle.
He also dragged a large box of wooden arrows and rusty iron crossbow arrows, which were said to have come with a crossbow for 500 yuan...... Uh, 500 yuan a century-old antique, should this be said to be earned?
But the car is his, the regiment is him, as long as he is not crazy enough to infringe on the interests of other members, he will naturally play with him.
Perhaps, it has become a talking point for passengers, and after eating, everyone is discussing whether Zheng Li suddenly became nervous, whether it was a bit abnormal to be under too much pressure.
It's just that what they don't know, Zheng Li is also discussing their affairs.
"Little Brother Zheng Li..... Zheng Li, don't you really need to tell them? ”
In the room with only two people, Lin Yuying stopped talking
"They? Which of them do you say? Rabbits? She's not stupid, it's all open in my ability intelligence team, and I didn't hide what I was going to do, she guessed it a long time ago, and you didn't see her go back to her room without eating. Three of our four combatants were informed, and the last one was left, Tiger Ichizaki....... What's the difference between talking to her and not talking about it. ”
"Ugh. Are you still mad at her? ”
Zheng Li shook his head with a smile, angry with her? Underestimate me.
"No, I'm not going to be angry with a child. If she is an adult, no one owes anyone in the workplace, let alone someone to remind her. In order to achieve the agreement and the goal, I do need strong chess pieces, but just chess pieces are absolutely not enough. It's just a two-way choice, and you don't care. ”
Lin Yuying nodded, and the next moment, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Is the break over? Are you okay? ”
"Nonsense, how can a man say that he can't do it, and come ten more times...... Well, it's going to be okay to do it again! ”
As he spoke, Zheng Li raised his long sword and charged towards the Great Demon King...... Then the two of them went back and forth, and they were easily knocked down and pressed to the ground by the charming and smiling big demon king, and they couldn't get up for a long time.
Finally, when I knew that it wasn't for me, I had already failed to charge for more than a dozen rounds, and if I continued to affect tomorrow's state, it would be funny to die inexplicably.
In the end, Zheng Li still sighed and reluctantly surrendered to his magic sword.
“..... Spare me, let's go to bed early today. ”
Lin Yuying, who was smiling, pulled him up, and if he didn't kill him all, the fine water could flow for a long time.
Uh, it's all a literal description, don't think crooked!
This is a training room for only two people, and it is also a common room on the first floor of the firefly car, next door to the kitchen and medical room, and next door to the largest living room.
Just now, it was just Zheng Li and Lin Yuying who completed their daily knife training...... Or to be precise, Zheng Li's daily use of his own spirit blade
Crushing and slinging.
"Tsk, it's cracked again."
Zheng Li looked at his right hand helplessly, the tiger's mouth was full of blood, obviously the red energy gap between the two sides was not big, but every time he finished the practice, he was shocked and bloody.
There was no completely good wound in the first place, and if we continued to practice with each other, we would hurt even faster.
But this time there are no obvious scars on the body, it has already been calculated, or does it know that there may be a big battle tomorrow, Lin Yuying is a little relieved?
Lin Yuying took out the bandage, bandaged him skillfully, put some medicine on him, and slept well, he should be fine tomorrow morning...... After all, his green bio-energy is already thirteen points, and his resilience is many times that of a normal human.
"Hey, the knife technique is a bit difficult to learn, and after so long, I haven't gained anything at all. It is said that 'the moon stick year knife is a lifetime gun, and the sword is hidden with you', why is it so difficult to learn the basic sword skills that can be mastered in a year. Yuying, it's been so many days, and I feel that I haven't made the slightest progress, and I haven't even started, and I'm still beating children by adults. ”
"No, it seems to me that you grow up very fast. Every step is on the right path, there is no need to pay the cost of trial and error, there is no need to worry about going astray, the speed of accumulating practical experience is already many times that of ordinary people, and now you can almost go to the second level. Worthy of being my sword master, it's just ......"
Smiling sweetly, Lin Yuying put the wooden knife back on the weapon rack and didn't say the rest.
The implication is that there is no need to expand, and Zheng Li instantly understood.
The gap between us is too big to see.
If you only use sword skills, you can lose whenever I think you lose, and if you only use me as your opponent, you will naturally not feel progress.
"Well, sure enough, I guessed that possibility...... There's still some time to go, so let's keep practicing that trick. ”
"Well, I'll watch, you take your time, I'll point it out if it's wrong."
So, enduring a little pain, Zheng Li picked up his wooden knife again and began to swing it slowly.
Learn the complete Oni Sakura Knife Technique? Gain some melee ability? Zheng Li thought that Lin Yuying was also willing to teach her all and let the sword master exert his full strength as much as possible.
But first of all, Zheng Li has no time and energy, and his schedule is already full, which can be solved later, and the next thing is a hard injury and a fatal injury.
“...... When I hold 'I', it's a one-handed knife. But when you hold 'me', it's a two-handed extra-long knife. The types of knives are all different, and you can't learn my knife skills. Unless the tool is changed......"
Changing tools? May I? Well, just now, Zheng Li saw Lin Yuying smiling so sweetly for the first time, and he squinted and lowered his head to look at himself...... I feel like I'm going to die if I promise to go down.
In fact, if you think about it a little, you will know that there is a gap between the actual situation of the two sides, and Ghost Sakura's sword technique Zheng Li will definitely not be able to copy it.
The handleless state of the ghost cherry knife is about two meters, and the handle of an artificial spirit weapon was installed two days ago, and in order to maintain the balance of the blade, the total length is close to two meters three.
Lin Yuying's super-large figure and excellent knife skills honed over the years can control this long knife, which can be held with one hand or chopping with both hands, but Zheng Li, who is about 1.8 meters tall, can pick it up....... Well, it's longer than his body, and a lot of movements can't be done at all, and he will slash to the ground when he splits.
That's a headache..... Zheng Li actually tried cheating, he handed over the control of his physical body to his magic sword again, let him use his sword skills, and then use his physical memory to learn.
This is actually a very common cheating method, when the sword master completely gives up the control of the body, through the control system of the sword master, the top spirit clan can indirectly control the sword master's body, and some people quickly learn the martial arts of their spirit clan through this means.
There are even some forces that use this method to quickly become genius sword masters...... There are a lot of effects, so I won't expand it for the time being.
The result of Zheng Li's attempt? It can be said that it succeeded, or it can be said that it failed, and Oni Sakura did rely on her excellent knife skills to play with the long knife that was longer than herself, and developed several sets of very powerful knife skill routines.
But as soon as the control is lifted and Zheng Li is allowed to come by himself, he will forget the light in an instant, and constantly knock on the ground with a low knife, insert a high knife into the ceiling, cut the wall with a side knife, and cut his own amazing operation with a horizontal knife.
Zheng Li and Lin Yuying are both martial arts experts in different fields, and after thinking about it for a while, they know that the problem is there...... Zheng Li doesn't know how to use a knife at all, his foundation in knife skills is zero, and he can't use any routines.
As a result, Zheng Li could only slowly polish the foundation of swordsmanship by himself, and at the same time accumulate swordsmanship experience with Lin Yuying's "actual combat".
When the experience is enough and the foundation is solid, then use the "experience plug-in" to increase high-level practical skills.
As for the current practical use? It's the one Zheng Li is practicing now.
He gathered his strength for a long time, and took a sharp step forward, a step, a swing, and a slash.
"Charge Slash."
There is no angry reprimand, but through the action of slashing, using words to concentrate the concentration of slashing.
It's just a slash, a charged slash that can exert Ghost Sakura's ability and maximum lethality, which is the primary goal of Zheng Li and Lin Yuying now.
It has to be said that when all the movements are fixed, from the focus of the eyes, to the pace of stepping, the cooperation of the arms, and the arc of the blade lifting and falling...... The result of repeated practice is really good.
Although in the eyes of Lin Yuying, a master of swordsmanship, it is only necessary to have its appearance, but with the abilities of the two of them, they can indeed send out a fatal knife in actual combat and deal a fatal blow to a careless enemy.
Again and again, knife after knife, using muscle memory to forcibly ensure the completion of that knife.
"By the way, how's your evolution? Did the little devil horn work? ”
At eight o'clock, he finally finished the night's training, and Zheng Li, who was sweating, was ready to take a bath, and also asked about the evolution of Yuying in passing.
