Chapter 18: Portrait Spots
"Ya'er, do these zombies have weaknesses too?" We found a new necromantic species in the tunnel, and in order to keep the pleasure going, I asked Ya'er Dao at the first time.
"Brother, Brother Broken Evil doesn't fight these zombies, Brother Broken Evil said that the acid of these zombies will hurt his treasure knife, hey! Brother, you know what? Brother Evil's sword is very bad, and it always scares Ya'er. Ya'er thought of the previous incident with the evil spirit, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
"It's your evil brother who scares you." I muttered, very disappreciative in my heart, a knife, even if it is a legendary immortal weapon, will not be scary, let alone such a weapon in the world? The reason why the immortal weapons are powerful is because they are infused with powerful power in these weapons, and ordinary people can't use such power at all, and they may be eaten by these forces and explode to death. But if you don't use these powers, then the so-called immortal weapon is just a relatively sharp weapon.
I don't know the weakness of zombies, I don't dare to fight these zombies at all, it's obviously a loss-making business. I'll just watch it here, and let the people of the adventure team deal with them, anyway, they don't have anything of value on them. So I honestly stood there and waited for the adventuring party to come up.
"Sister Liu, the caterpillar is there!" Butterfly saw me at the end of the tunnel, standing quietly with them on my back, and behind him were the remains of skeletons all over the ground. Ya'er also stood beside him, leaning on him. This scene made him look taller, and he seemed to suddenly become unaware of him.
"So handsome!" Dancing Butterfly and Willow Fairy exhaled softly at the same time. As soon as the words were spoken, they felt that something was wrong, and looked at each other with embarrassed and shy expressions.
"Caterpillar, did you kill all these skeletons?" It's rare for a butterfly to have a soft voice like this.
"Yes!" I replied in a nasal voice.
"How did you kill them?" Dancing Butterfly and Willow Fairy asked at the same time.
I turned my head and looked at them strangely, but they couldn't resist my gaze and avoided them. "Actually, I didn't kill them." I suddenly said,
"Who is it?" Dancing Butterfly and Willow Fairy's questions rushed out of their mouths.
"I didn't kill them, but they died because of me." I didn't answer them directly, but said to myself. My words made them even more confused, and when I saw their blank faces, I couldn't help laughing: "Tell you, they committed suicide." ”
"Why?" Their hearts were already full of curiosity, and they asked me impatiently.
I still didn't answer them immediately, but I kept looking at them and said with a strange smile: "Because they saw that I was so handsome, they were ashamed, so they killed themselves with knives." ”
"Caterpillar you ......" They finally understood that I had been entertaining them.
"With your monkey look, you can make these skeletons kill themselves? Save somewhat, right? You don't pee like you. Butterfly looked at me and sneered at me with disdain.
"Actually, you can too." I can't stop talking.
"I, can I too?" Women pay first attention to their appearance, even the extremely ugly butterfly, is not immune, and when I hear me suggesting that she looks good, I can't help but feel happy in my heart.
"Yes, they will kill themselves when they see you, but they are disgusting." I said indifferently.
"Haha!" The members of the adventure team who followed behind heard it and couldn't help but laugh out loud. That shrill laughter filled the entire tunnel. Butterfly heard those sarcastic laughter, and her face turned to ashes.
"Dragon, how can you say that. Don't you know how this can hurt someone? Fairy Liu said to me angrily.
"Those who insult others will always be humiliated." I said stiffly, turning my head and ignoring them. I decided not to accommodate the butterfly anymore, I used to see her too ugly, I pitied her in my heart, sympathized with her, and accommodated her everywhere. If it's just some innocuous things, let her toss, and never say anything serious to her. Who knew that this woman was too self-loving and completely unworthy of other people's sympathy. Her character, like her appearance, is completely devoid of merit.
"Dragon, I apologize to you on behalf of my sister Mai." The willow fairy walked up to me and said to me solemnly.
"No need, you don't have to mind, I won't take those little things to heart." I speak in a tone like the water of an ancient well, and I don't move at all.
"Dragon, why don't you destroy those zombies? The abilities of those zombies are similar to the previous gray-black skeletons, and they don't have the intelligence of gray-black skeletons, they will only fight alone, you can deal with a pair of gray-black skeletons, and you should be able to deal with them easily! "The willow fairy followed my gaze and saw dozens of zombies standing in the tunnel in front of her, not understanding why I stopped here.
Of course, I won't say that I'm afraid of those zombies, but deliberately pretend to be unfathomable: "Fairy Liu, I don't like the smell of zombies, shoot at them, and stain my hands." ”
Because there was a large pile of gray-black skeleton wreckage alerting the willow fairy, she had no doubt about my words, and she stopped talking, just stood quietly beside me, just like me, watching the battle between the adventurers and the zombies. And the dancing butterfly, although she fell behind us in a huff, was very quiet, and did not come up to me to trouble.
Zombies are level 45 necromantic creatures that have extremely low intelligence, stiff movements, and slow movement. Zombies have a slightly lower attack power than a gray-black skeleton, but their defense is extremely high, almost twice as high as a gray-black skeleton. The swords of the members of the adventure party slashed through, leaving only a white mark in their skin. Moreover, their bodies are all smeared with corpse poison, and if they accidentally touch it, the corpse poison will slowly seep into their bodies, and their movements will become slower.
Fighting zombies, encountering corpse poison is inevitable, and it didn't take long for almost all the adventure team members who had fought with zombies to be infected with corpse poison to varying degrees, and their movements began to slow down. Sensing that something was wrong with them, the members of the adventure team immediately retreated, took the antidote handed by the other team members, and took it.
This time, the people of the Sihai Group are really well prepared, in addition to torches, they are also preparing medicines to understand corpse poison. However, if we had a priest here, we would be able to get rid of the corpse poison very quickly, instead of waiting for about half an hour for the medicine to take effect.
The zombies' movements are very clumsy, except for the corpse poison that people can't dodge, their attacks are almost all dodged by the adventure team members, and they can't hurt the adventure team members, but, with their strong defense, the adventure team can't help them for a while, and the battle is deadlocked.
"Hey!" One of the members of the adventure team got impatient, and he used his internal strength to pour his life's work into one blow. "Wave!" The zombie was finally cleaved open by him. "Well done!" The rest of the team immediately applauded. Encouraged by his companions, the members of the adventure team immediately cleaved at the wound. Zombies seem to be only defenses because of their outermost skin, and once they are broken, they become defenseless. The member of the adventure team followed up with a knife that slashed the zombie open, and countless green blood-like liquids splashed out like rain. Seeing that his knife had such a great effect, the team member continued to work hard and slashed in the same place again, and this time, the zombie was cut off by him. The zombies, broken in two, fell to the ground, still wriggling, but they no longer had any offensive power.
The team member dealt with the skeleton and instead of continuing the fight, retreated. He had already been poisoned by the corpse, and when he cut the zombie just now, he was splashed with the zombie's green blood. The corpse poison contained in the green blood of zombies and the corpse poison emitted on their bodies are not on the same level, the latter just slows down the movements of infected people, but the former, if not treated in time, will die.
"You kid, your blood value has dropped to 100, I remember that your blood value seems to be more than 500, and it only took two or three minutes to go to your 400 blood, what a powerful corpse poison! Thunderbolt, if you kid is a little later, you're going to be resurrected. The man who gave the medicine said after checking on the team member named Thunderbolt.
"Qianjincao, don't I still have 100 blood? Can you take it again? Thunderbolt said nonchalantly.
"You know a fart, do you think you can get better as soon as you take these pills? It's just to delay the toxicity of this corpse poison, and if you want your blood value to no longer be affected by this corpse poison, it will take half an hour? If your HP is too low, you won't be able to survive for half an hour! The team member named Qianjincao scolded.
"If only I had learned healing magic, even the lowest level of cleansing techniques would be able to eradicate this corpse poison, and I wouldn't have to wait so long." Qianjincao sighed.
"Daughter, didn't you aspire to be a priest before? After all this time, you still can't practice a healing spell? A member of the adventuring team next to him had dealt with Qianjincao before, and when he heard his exclamation, he asked strangely.
Listening to the man's words, Qianjincao's face turned red. At this time, the thunderbolt came to reveal his old bottom: "He sneaked out of the temple early in the morning, and he only stayed in the temple for nearly ten days and learned nothing. Hehe! ”
"Alas! The past is unbearable, and I won't hide it from everyone, I used to follow the path of a priest in other games, and when I entered this game, I still wanted to be a priest. However, in this game, it is too difficult to become a priest, it is even harder than any profession I know, I am in the temple, every day in the Hall of the Four Seasons to feel the so-called elements, what is this, what can I feel in the game? I sat there stupidly for almost ten days, and I couldn't feel anything. I asked the system what was going on, and who knew that it just repeatedly asked me to do what is the unity of nature and man, what is the unity of man and nature, and I feel awkward when I listen to it. Aren't you saying that LX is fooling people? ”
"Not necessarily, I asked a friend of mine who practices magicians, and he said that he really felt that there was something particularly active in the hall of the Four Seasons, and the system said that it was the fire element, so he became a fire magician." Another member of the team interjected.
"So how is he now, is he amazing?" Someone asked.
"Needless to say, he can't do it now? The temple gave him a space similar to the Four Seasons Hall for him to stay in, and he sat there for two or three months, feeling the elements like the golden grass said every day. It's so boring that he is dead, and so far, he hasn't advanced yet? ”
"I also have a brother, he is also a magician, I heard him say that the system will determine the path of his cultivation according to the elements that the player feels, like the priest that the brother of the golden grass wants to be, it is necessary to feel the sacred elements before he can become a priest. However, I heard that there are very few players who can feel the divine element, so there are very few people who can become priests. Another member of the adventure team said.
"There are so few magicians in this game, I really don't understand what LX is doing, don't they know that a game without magicians is like a dancer with less legs and a singer with a voice?" Another member of the adventure team grumbled.
In the lobby on the top floor of the LX company's headquarters building, a capable young man complained in the same way. And he complained to eight people who sat in very luxurious chairs. They sat around a round table of the same luxurious conference, and looked at the young man in silence. At one end of the table, the chairman's seat was vacant, but the vacant seat was piled with a large pile of papers.
"Is the eldest brother here this time?" One of them asked casually, playing with the pen in his hand.
"You don't know the temperament of the eldest brother, he always sees the end of the dragon, although this meeting is a year-end meeting, it is very important for the company, but the eldest brother, alas! He doesn't like to hear us talk about such trivial things. Let's not wait for him, Brother Ten, do you mean to relax the conditions for magicians in the game "Taimeng"? A somewhat rich middle-aged man asked.
"yes, the player's complaint has flooded the entire forum. According to our previous setting, the number of magicians is one in ten thousand, which is a very serious imbalance in the profession! Big brother is really, why is the demand for the profession of magician so high? The young man began to complain again.
"Tenth brother, the eldest brother asked you to take care of this game, if you think it's not good, then change it! Big brother gave you this right. "Another humane.
"What did I change, I don't know how my eldest brother got the technology, my group of scientists can't move the things inside at all, it's too complicated, and it can affect the whole body. My eldest brother asked me to manage it, and I could just help collect money and maintain the machine. Without the scientific and technological power of my brother's research group, what can I do! The young man said with a bitter face.
"Tenth brother, you still complained to us, but you strongly asked to do this. We don't have the ability to help you, we are in charge of different projects, we don't know what each other is doing, and we can't help you if we want to. The other replied.
"I just need the brothers to persuade the eldest brother together." The young man grinned.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this, as long as it is requested by our brother, when has the eldest brother not agreed, tenth brother, don't worry, as long as the eldest brother comes, he will not refuse to the questions you ask, but you don't always bother him with these trivial things." Someone reminded the young man.
"I don't know what my eldest brother is? I'm just afraid that my eldest brother won't agree this time? To be honest, the eldest brother may have his intention when he arranges it like this, and the eldest brother acts, even if it is our brother, we can't guess it, if I speak rashly, it will be bad for the eldest brother. The young man said cautiously.
"Okay, tenth brother, you haven't been with the eldest brother for long, you don't understand, if your suggestion is reasonable, the eldest brother won't scold you." The rich middle-aged man encouraged him.
"Big brother! When are you there? As soon as the rich middle-aged man finished speaking, he glanced at the chairman's chair and saw that their eldest brother was already sitting there. Scold! Xiaoling, you're getting more and more beautiful. The rich middle-aged man looked up, but saw a beautiful girl standing behind the eldest brother, so he also said hello. The girl smiled and nodded to him.
"You guys, I'm not here and you're talking badly about me behind my back, aren't you?" The eldest brother in the crowd laughed and scolded everyone. Look closely, this person who is called the eldest brother is very young, it seems that he has not even reached 30, but looking at his eyes, he is full of vicissitudes, like a hundred-year-old man. There is really no such strange combination in one person.
"Big brother, how is this possible, our respect for you is like a surging river......" The man didn't finish speaking, but he was kicked away, and at first glance, it was their eldest brother. This man was a long distance away from their eldest brother, and I don't know how their eldest brother managed to suddenly appear beside him and kick him.
"Fourth, you're always so poor." Their eldest brother laughed and kicked him, but when he could speak, he was already sitting in his chair. It's really a ghostly body, but the people present didn't have the slightest surprise, it seems that they didn't see their eldest brother use this body method.
They quarreled with each other for a while, and the eldest brother stopped them and said, "Our ten brothers are the pillars of this company, from the second brother who was the first to join in the first three years, they have all contributed their own strength to this company. Over the years, our company has made a lot of money, and we can't spend all of this money no matter how much we spend. But ......" The man, who was called the eldest brother by the top of the LX company, paused, glanced at his brother, and continued: "The brother has received very little money over the years, and he is not even as good as a middle-level cadre in the company. Although the brothers didn't ask me, I knew that the brothers had questions. I deliberately didn't mention it before, but my brother respected me as a big brother and didn't ask. In the past, I didn't tell my brothers because this secret was very important, and I was afraid that my brothers would be in danger if they found out. Now, the time is ripe to tell you the answer. ”
"Big brother, is all this true?" The young man, whom they called the tenth brother, couldn't hold his breath, and after listening to his eldest brother's words, he cried out in disbelief.
"Tenth brother, what are you talking about, did the eldest brother lie to us?" The rich middle-aged man glanced at him unhappily and taught him a lesson.
"It's incredible, someone can do this, this is our epoch-making progress of mankind, no wonder the eldest brother has to hide us for so long, the burden of the future of all mankind is not something we can afford! Big brother, let's celebrate with champagne, I have a bottle from 1892, I'll have someone bring it. The young man didn't care at all about being scolded by his second brother, and was so excited that he wanted to take out his most precious champagne.
"Ten brothers, don't worry, we still have some details that have not been resolved, when we are ready, we will drink together, now we talk about discussing our company's business, our follow-up plan needs a very large amount of money to guarantee, without the company's financial support, our plan will die." The boss of the group stopped the young man and smiled.
"Let's start with our game, which hasn't been around for a long time, and it's more profitable than any of our company's businesses." The young man spoke first, the joy just now had not yet subsided, and the look on his face was still very excited.
"Let's start with the game "Taimeng", shall we? Is it also an integral part of our program? Their boss motioned for the young man to speak.
"Let's report on our revenue from this game first!" As soon as the young man spoke of his business, he immediately became serious. "Our game called "Taimeng", from November 16 this year, to now, about three months or so, the revenue of this game we operate is as follows:
Advertising: 68.9 billion
Taxes on game transactions: 82 billion
In-game item revenue: 126 billion
Portrait point income: 260 billion"
Reading this, his eldest brother hurriedly stopped, "Tenth brother, didn't you read it wrong?" How can this portrait spot sell so well, the previous items that are the main income of the game do not add up to it much. ”
"Big brother, I didn't read it wrong, the portrait point was surprisingly easy to sell, and some people even paid more than a billion yuan to buy it."
"Wouldn't it? Billions? This is really a typical loser. The eldest brother sighed, but he didn't notice that his brothers were smiling strangely.
The young man continued to read, and finally concluded: "After deducting various expenses, in the past three months, the net income of this game is about 800 billion, which does not include the income of products related to this game, because they are too time-consuming and laborious to calculate, we have not put together its specific number, but we believe that they are only higher than this." In addition......"
It took a lot of time for the young people to report everything. At this time, his eldest brother sighed and said: "I didn't expect that a single game will bring us so much profit, it seems that this game is very promising." ”
"Big brother?" The young man was speechless.
"Tenth brother, if there is anything, you can tell it, our brother, what else can't you say?" The eldest brother encouraged him.
