Volume 2 The Turmoil in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 18 The Top is Hard

The ancients said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, so Tu Shi went to find a few classmates and asked them to make a few pieces of equipment that can fight against the Demon Thorn.

"Damn, you need drawings to make equipment, and the drawings are firmly held by the major workshops, so it's a secret, but you want to find me a copy?" Lu Lingchuan replied angrily.

"Can't you get the drawings from the teacher?"

"It's impossible, the teacher said that greed can't chew too much, so let's practice the basic skills, at most make some parts, it's not time to make equipment yet."

It's so troublesome, it's really wise for the Xuanyuan family not to recruit you...... Tu Shi asked again: "Then you can design the drawings yourself, right?" ”

"We're still in the apprenticeship stage, we can't be a teacher, you expect us to design equipment?"

Lan Mengmeng also chimed in: "That's it! We don't know how to draw, unless you find someone who can draw and they will design it, and we can improve it at most to make it more reasonable......"

Everyone looked at Xiao Jiamin, and Xiao Jiamin blinked innocently. There is nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes, this serious painter doesn't know how to draw!

The drawing was done, but the material was still a problem. As far as Lu Lingchuan knew, the hardness of the iron ingots on the surface of Yibei City was too poor to make a weapon that could defeat the Demon Thorn, so before building a weapon, it was necessary to make a better iron ingot, which required better smelting tools, which was a lot of expense.

"Take out all the materials you have on hand!"

Tu Shi, who was so ordered, poured everything out. The carapace and tail hook of the demon thorn, the silk sac of the overlord spider, and the seed of demonic power...... It's all good mid-grade material. Lu Lingchuan also held the demon thorn carapace with bright eyes, and said, "This thing is very good", but he thought that there were too few materials, and forced Tu Shi to fight another demon thorn.

In desperation, Tu Shi set off hard.

Those who have studied history know that if any centralized state wants to function for a long time, it must divide powers, checks and balances, and political power, military power, and financial power must be held by different people, and these people can restrain each other, and do not expect to overturn the world on their own.

On the Chinese mainland of "Qiankun", this Dayan dynasty also strictly implements the separation of powers and checks and balances. Yongzhou, as the absolute center of Kyushu, is directly under the control of today's son; The remaining eight prefectures were used as food towns (territories), and they were all ruled by princes and kings. The princes and kings collected taxes, and they had power but no power; The state pastor sent by the Son of Heaven assisted in the management, and he was powerless. And so on to the cities in the state, the princes and kings chose the doormen and retainers to become the nominal lords of the city, and the county lord was the actual governor of the city.

With the influx of adventurers, the old rules no longer apply. The Son of Heaven decided that the government would continue to govern the aborigines, while the city lord's mansion would govern the adventurers. From this point of view, the City Lord's Mansion has gradually begun to have power.

Politics is a team game, which derives the mountains and the masses, but the Son of Heaven is very taboo to form gangs, ordinary gangs (such as the township party, protΓ©gΓ©s) are also counted, and the princes, kings, civil ministers, and generals must not form a party. In order to avoid suspicion, there is often no relationship between the city lord and the county prince, let alone a private meeting between the two.

However, in the City Lord's Mansion of Yibei City, two people who should not have anything to do with each other are meeting in private.

"Lord Lei City, your move is really good."

"Where, for Lord Bao, it is just a matter of raising hands to solve this situation. As long as...... Do you turn to someone else for help? Or, repentance? ”

"Watching chess is silent, true gentleman, I'm afraid I'm the only one who is playing against the Thunder City Lord, and others can't help if they want to."

The content of the conversation between the two was related to playing chess, but there was only the sound of them talking in the room, but there was no sound of the chess pieces colliding with the chess floor. Seems...... The two of them are in the next game of chess that only exists in their minds.

"Moreover, Lord Lei City, I am not a good chess player, and I would rather lose than regret it. Even if you were willing to make me regret the move, I would still lose, because regret itself is an act of weakness. Be careful! If you can regret one move, you can regret ten moves, a hundred moves, and you often can't stop it when you start, and even because you feel that the winning rate of white is greater than that of black one, you will regret it until the beginning of the game. Chess can be regretted, but the color of the chess pieces can not be regretted, in fact, life is the same as playing chess, since you choose a black child, you can never choose a white piece, you should understand this. ”

"Master Bao has a high opinion, listening to your words, it is better to read a book for ten years. It's just that you are wrong about one thing, life is not exactly the same as playing chess: playing chess is divided into winning and losing, but life does not have to be divided into winning and losing, sometimes it can be a win-win situation. And I don't expect you to change camps, you continue to be your black son, I continue to be my white son, everyone will be black and white from now on, how about it? ”

"Oh? It seems that the Lord of Thunder City has advice? ”

"I don't dare to give advice, it's just some heartfelt words that I want to say for a long time...... We are all chess pieces, one is missing, and one more is added from the chess urn, and the chess players will not care whether we live or die, so we have to leave a way back for ourselves. ”

This statement has been said very bluntly, and the content seems to be about playing chess, but it vaguely refers to something else.

The person known as "Lord Bao" was silent for a long time, and the "Thunder City Lord" was also very patient to keep quiet for a long time.

Smack.

The soft sound of incense ash falling from the incense burner in the corner of the wall was also very loud in the silence. As if awakened by this sound, "Lord Bao" took the lead in speaking and sighed: "The chess strength of the Lord of Lei City is really good, I am ashamed of myself. ”

"So? ……”

"Do I have any other choice now?"

Forest of the Dead.

The Xuanyuan Moon Demon sat down with his back against the tree, startling a few small centipede-like insects in the soil. He looked at the sword in his hand, and his heart was irritated, and he threw it away. In front of him was the corpse of a demon thorn as huge as a hill, this demon thorn had a pair of thick and powerful giant pincers, and it was from the pincers that the Moon Demon's sword was destroyed.

Animals are born with claws and scales, and humans can only make up for the gap in equipment with swords and shields. Ordinary weapons are still so-so when dealing with beasts, but it is too reluctant to deal with demon beasts. The sword in the Moon Demon's hand is level 25, with a "5% chance to cause 'bleeding'" and "a 5% chance to ignore physical defense", which is the best weapon that the first group of players can get their hands on, but it is still vulnerable in front of the Demon Thorn, and I really don't know what kind of good equipment is suitable for dealing with the Demon Thorn.

"Dark Gold Gear ......"

The Moon Demon muttered to himself, leaning his head against the tree, and it hurt a little, but this small pain was the only comfort he could get from his tired body. There was already a trace of his stamina bar, his body was already sore, and he didn't even want to move a little finger, he just wanted to lie down.

There was a soft thud in the grass, causing the Moon Demon to quickly raise its head. He raised an eyebrow - the player named Yu Qingfeng was standing not far from him at some point. If it weren't for the soft noise, he was completely unaware of the other party's approach, and it was likely that the other party deliberately made a noise to alert himself. This method of hiding the sound of footsteps is a secret of a hunter in the novice village, and I don't know how Yu Qingfeng learned it.

"Awesome." Tu Shi looked at the corpse of the demon thorn the size of an overlord spider and sighed sincerely. The limbs of this thorn are so thick that they have to highlight the muscle outline, and there is a pair of pincers that can clip the bull, and it looks like a strength type, and it is simply the bodybuilding champion in the thorn. Looking at the more than a dozen big trees that had fallen around, and then looking at the Moon Demon who was covered in bruises but had complete limbs, Tu Shi was truly admired.

Moon Demon: "You're also here to farm the Demon Thorn?" But you're 6 levels below me. ”

This sentence is too sarcastic, but looking at the other party's flat look, Tu Shi is not sure whether the other party has malicious intentions. However, if it weren't for Tu Shigang killing seven in and seven out in a poison ivy nest, I'm afraid it would be one level lower now.

The Moon Demon said again, "Even I have to put some effort into it, so you can forget it." ”

"I have to try, it's a big deal, it's 7 levels lower than you." Tu Shi shrugged, looked back at the corpse of the giant pincer demon thorn, and sighed, "I really can't beat you." ”

The Moon Demon looked at the sword Tu Shi was carrying at his waist, smiled, and with difficulty took out a sword from the storage bag and threw it at his feet: "Take it." ”

Cheng En: This sword is a military weapon of the Dayan Dynasty, and it is an extremely rare two-handed sword, which is often only used by the strong. Sword, Physical Attack 35-50, Charged Attack Damage +20%, 3% chance to ignore Physical Defense, Attack Speed +5%. In attack speed, the weight is 19, the durability is 90%, and the professional warrior is required, and the level is 19.

Tu Shi couldn't help but be ashamed: he is worthy of being the backbone of the Xuanyuan family, and even the equipment he eliminated is better than his own use. A good sword can indeed increase the odds of victory, so he is not hypocritical, and he thanked him and equipped it.

Generally speaking, when there is a choice, players will always choose the equipment that suits their style. The Moon Demon is undoubtedly the kind of person who has an abundance of options, and even if he doesn't use his equipment, he has a strong personal style - fierce. In order to output desperately, his playing style is to exchange injuries for injuries, which is quite similar to a person mentioned by the teacher: Wang Yizhi.

…………

"This man is a martial madman, and he doesn't want to die when he fights, it's for the 'angry knife'. Because you don't want to die, you can be ranked in the middle of the 'nine knives', but because of this, at most, you can only rank in the middle of the stream, think about it, people who don't want to die, fight without rules, what kind of master is it? The waves are sweeping the sand, and only those who survive are masters. ”

"Isn't there a saying that the less afraid you are of death, the less likely you are to die?" Tu Shi saw that the protagonists in the novel are desperate to defeat the enemy.

Yi Wuya scoffed: "It doesn't matter if you don't die once or twice, if you don't die a thousand times or a hundred times, it's a long life." ”

…………

Tu Shi also tried to exchange injuries for injuries when he faced the boss of the novice village, but it was a helpless move - he was still a novice with no skills at that time! Now that he has the two displacement skills of [Arrow Step] and [Shrinking the Ground into Inch], coupled with the prediction of [Cangtong], Tu Shi pays more attention to dodging in battle, striving to be harmless throughout the whole process. It can be seen that in a turn, Tu Shi and the Moon Demon took different paths.

And the Xuanyuan Dragon God, who practiced the fast knife, took another path. The world's martial arts are unbreakable, only fast and unbreakable. There is a key setting in "Qiankun", as long as you hit the vital point, the blood volume will be cleared instantly, so the battle of killing with one hit is more efficient than the battle where you come and go, and whether you can kill the opponent with one blow first has become the key to measuring the winning rate. If the dragon god's quick knife could be fast enough to cut the throat of the Moon Demon first, then the Moon Demon would not have had time to use the so-called injury for injury.

Of course, there are no absolutes in martial arts, and it still depends on the situation. The Dragon God Sword is just fast, but the strength may not be enough, if you can't take the lead, you can't parry the Moon Demon's lifeless fighting style.

Isn't it? Even the power-type demon thorn was overturned by the moon demon......

Jingzhou's romantic character should be him.
