57, the difficult Shortlandy
more
When Cheng Peng and Shen Qi entered the Big Bell Tavern, the clock in the hall just began to ring the bell on the hour, and the two walked as if they were stepping on the bell, walking step by step to the inside of the bar hall, and also walking in the eyes of everyone in the bar. --When the bell struck the seventh, they also walked to the front of the bar.
"My name is Cheng Peng, Ying Leide? Mr. Chip's invitation came. Cheng Peng's voice was not loud, but it was very clear in the tavern that suddenly quieted down, enough for everyone to hear, "Where is he?" ”
Although he said this to the bar owner, more than one of the players rushed to point it out to Cheng Peng before the fat boss could speak, and the red who issued the mission invitation? Chip jumped up even more excitedly and shouted, "Here! Over here! I'm Chip! Reed? Chip! ”
There is naturally a reason why they are so excited: how famous Cheng Peng is! His legendary deeds can't be told for hours! And not long ago, he had just led a team to encircle and suppress the famous demon warrior Saberu, which indirectly caused the church to launch a money offensive and frantically recruit player death squads to destroy the dark creatures...... Many of the people present came for the church's rich rewards!
"That...... Journey...... Cheng Peng, how could it be that you accepted our invitation? "Chip, who has just been promoted to seven stars, is the leader of a small team, and he brings seven or eight friends who are slightly worse than him to go 'Swing' together, as the top few masters in this city, he has always been quite confident in himself, even when he was killed by Shortlandy and fled like a dog, he never lost confidence, but no matter how confident he is, he will not feel that he and Cheng Peng are a grade character...... Not to mention anything else, Cheng Peng was a seven-star master more than a year ago, but he only rose to seven-star a month ago! Adventure 57
At that time, he entrusted an intelligence agent who was a little acquaintance to help find a reliable helper, but with the idea of "maybe I can find a few more seven-star masters, so with Lingling and Tears, I should be able to get Shortlandy", I definitely didn't expect to find a legend like Cheng Peng!
This is like a basketball game played by various departments of a university, the strength of the department team of the Department of Economics is low, and it is normal for people to be slaughtered for a few points, and they are angry and recruit basketball players among the freshmen of the whole department, and as a result, a world-class star who has just retired has come this year......
What does it mean to be overjoyed? It's called overjoy!
Probably because Cheng Peng's reputation was too loud, he sat at Chip's table, and the players around him even spoke much quieter, and many people simply didn't say a word, tilting their heads sideways to eavesdrop on what they were talking about, as if they were curious babies.
“…… That's the rough picture. Chip elaborated on what had happened during this time, focusing on a few battles related to Shortlandy, and finally sighed deeply, "That guy is so tough to deal with!" We really can't do anything about it, so we sent out an invitation, hoping to find a reliable expert to help......"
"But I really didn't expect to invite you!" A young woman with freckles on her face smiled and said, "Totally unexpected!" ”
"Yes! It's like buying gold just for the purpose of preserving its value, but the price of gold has doubled...... "A fat dun dun magician in a gray magic robe smiled and looked very happy.
Chip has already introduced Cheng Peng and Shen Qi to him and his teammates: Rider Red, who has the Astral Pegasus mount and is good at charging and raiding from the air? Chip; Jiang Yi, a warlock with extraordinary attainments in enchantment spells and alchemy; Joanna, a mechanic who uses Reiko Machinery, is a part-time "shooter"? Longman; Heavy warrior "Lucy"? A. Reid; Dante, the "shooter" who wields a large magic guide firearm? Sivor; Yan Yu, an immortal warlock who is good at casting spells quickly and specializes in auxiliary spells; There is also Lin Shao, a forbidden spell mage who has an extremely strong attack spell although his own defense is low and super low. This seven-person team is led by Chip, who is a seven-star entry, and the other six are all six-star peaks, and in the current big adventure, they belong to the adventure team that can barely step into the first-line level.
All along, their luck has been relatively poor, and they have never gained too good equipment from monsters, and over time, everyone has become bearish, and instead the goal is to get more money, and then spend money to buy equipment. It was for this reason that they had chosen this town as a temporary base more than a month ago – there was nothing else here, but a nearby gold mine. Although players can't go to the gold mines to collect gold, the city's managers are quite wealthy, and they never hesitate to reward the warriors who crusade against monsters, and they are a group of qualified gold owners.
"And how much is this Shortlandy's bounty?" Shen Qi asked curiously, "There should be part of the reason why so many of you gathered here and didn't leave, right?" ”
"That's right." The chubby alchemist Lin Shao did not shy away from everyone's pursuit of wealth, "If converted into a common currency, there are about 1,000 taels of gold...... Each! ”
This amount made Shen Qi take a breath, and Cheng Peng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows - those who were familiar with them knew that these two people were usually very calm, and it must be quite amazing to be able to make them make such expressions.
"A thousand taels of gold is not much, but a thousand taels of gold per person...... Does it mean that as long as you participate in the Shortlandy Raid and kill it, then everyone can get a thousand taels? Shen Qi asked bluntly, "Is it okay to work without contribution?" ”
"No problem. The bosses of this city have nothing but money! Langman took out a magic gun inlaid with gold threads and gems, and showed it to Shen Qi like a treasure, "This magic gun with immortal power was bought by me with the bounty from the monster fighting here." ”
Shen Qi looked at the gun, the seven-star silver-level weapon is basically a "sex" average, but the two additional "characteristics" "immortal qi moisturizing the body" and "rapid recovery qi" one can bring a permanent recovery effect to the equipper, and the other can reduce the cooldown time of the special "shooting" skill, which is indeed quite a practical thing.
"This is worth at least 1,200 taels of gold at the Astral Gate auction house." She said.
"Wow!" Longman couldn't help but exclaim, "You can see it accurately! That's what I bought! In order to buy it, I put all my income on this month! ”
"Good value for money. This thing should still be in demand for a long time. Shen Qi nodded, "Your business is very cost-effective!" ”
Longman couldn't help but laugh - to be nodding in praise of the famous intelligence expert and veteran adventurer Lady Arris, she suddenly felt that the hard work of the past month was nothing at all, just like the feeling when she bought the gun from the auction house in the first place. Adventure 57
"All those who participate in the war can get a thousand taels of gold...... Cheng Peng did not participate in the discussion between the two women, but groaned, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, "It's not that I haven't seen such a big deal, but just a boss randomly refreshed by the system can be worth this price...... Shouldn't I say 'people are stupid and money comes quickly'? ”
This humorous sarcasm immediately made everyone laugh - the reputation of Chinese football's jokes, even in the Datong world, has not changed, but has spread more widely.
Now there is such a famous joke: the late UN Secretary-General Kurt? Waldheim saw God after his death, and God said that one of his wishes could be granted, and Waldheim said happily, "Then let mankind return to the ideal golden age!" God sweated, indicating that this wish was a bit difficult to come true, and suggested that he change it, so Waldheim tried to ponder a wish that should be relatively simple in theory: "I have a good relationship with Chinese, they have always dreamed of becoming a football power, why don't you just fulfill this wish"...... The result is known to everyone......
So when Cheng Peng talked about the famous phrase "people are stupid and money comes quickly" in Chinese football, not only Jiang Yi and Yan Yu, who are also Chinese, but even Lin Shao of Thailand, "Lucy" of Germany, Longman and Chip of Americans couldn't help laughing, and even laughter came from nearby tables.
The only one who didn't laugh was Sivol, and the reason why he didn't laugh was not because he didn't know the joke, but because he rarely laughed in the first place, because he was not naturally good at expressing feelings, and he belonged to the kind of person commonly known as "facial paralysis".
After the joke, everyone started talking about business.
Of course, the topic revolves around Shortrandy, a guy who has gone from a random mini-boss to a powerful boss, and occasionally talks about the exorcist Lingling and the Tearful Sisters.
“…… Shortlandy was an executioner and was in charge of carrying out hangings. After turning into a ghost, he was originally just a mini-boss that refreshed regularly, and in addition to being good at using a long sword and spear, he was a stunt that could directly put a rope around the enemy's neck regardless of distance and defense...... That trick is very troublesome, if you can't break free in time after being trapped, you will be forced into a suffocation state after another second, and if you can't cut the rope within ten seconds, you will be strangled. ”
"One second, ten seconds...... It's too long, there's nothing to be afraid of. Cheng Peng didn't say much, for people with combat experience, even one second is enough, not to mention that there is a full ten seconds between being strangled by a rope and strangulation, no matter what, it is enough.
"yes, so he wasn't great when he was a mini-boss, and we've all swiped him a few times."
"Yes, you see, this is his unique 'Confessional's Cross', a six-star silver consumable item that can offset three Christian-based religious crimes, which is very helpful for players who like to kick the door without asking."
"And 'Shortlandy's noose', that we didn't burst out, six-star silver-level equipment, although it can only be used on humans, but the hit rate and binding effect are good, I remember that there is a team that has been squatting to brush him, just to brush this noose to sell ......"
"As a result, when Shortrandi was promoted, they became the first victims, and they were all strangled to death." Chip sighed, "And Shortrandy has his eye on them, as soon as he sees them, he immediately doesn't say a word and waits for them." As a result, they were killed in desperation, so they had to change places and leave. ”
Cheng Peng frowned when he heard this, and asked, "After it was upgraded, the noose skill changed?" ”
"Yes, first it became a shot, and as soon as he hit it, he strangled it and threw it away, no longer playing suffocation, but playing with despair, and he was knocked unconscious at once, and if no one saved him, he died in thirty seconds - at that time, there was finally a way to deal with it, but then he upgraded again, and the noose can strangle six people at a time, which is really amazing!" The hoplite "Lucy" "touched" and "touched" the neck, and his heart palpitated.
Because she is positioned as a striker and a meat shield in the team, she is always the first to fight the enemy, and naturally she is the most beaten. During the battle with Shortrandy, she was strangled to death several times, which really left some psychological shadows.
"Strangling six people at a time, ignoring distance...... Defense probably doesn't have much effect on it...... It's a great skill indeed! Cheng Peng pondered for a moment, nodded and praised, "To deal with this kind of guy, you need to keep it contained, and you can't let it free up its hands to perform, otherwise no matter how many people there are, it won't be enough for him to kill!" ”
"Yes! That's how we thought of it, gathering a lot of high-speed people to form a commando team, hoping to contain it so that it wouldn't have a chance to put the noose - it turned out that this guy actually had an extra 'Absolute Void' skill, although the duration was very short, but it was enough to make the containment ineffective. Next to him, a skinny, tall, long-handed, long-legged player, wearing a simple and flexible leather coat, who knew at a glance that he was very good at running and jumping, came over and said, "Containment of this technique is only effective if it has been contained, once it is interrupted, it will be difficult to contain it again." ”
Cheng Peng nodded again - although he never felt that it was difficult to contain again, he at least knew that he should not use his own standards to demand others, and what he could do was something that most players could not imagine, let alone do it.
"After the joint crusade failed, we fought it several times one after another, and each time we were defeated, and everyone looked a little depressed...... As a result, Lingling and Tears happened to pass by, and they also joined the Shortlandy Raiders. ”
"They shouldn't be of much help, right? I remember that Tears and Tears are good at fighting and hidden weapons, and Lingling knows some spells, but after all, she is also mainly martial arts. "Shen Qi is familiar with the horn 'color' in the demon warrior, "But the two sisters have a trick, the elder sister incarnates a spirit rune and sticks it on the sister's forehead, which is similar to the effect of the combined technique, and the combat power can be greatly improved in a short period of time." ”
It was with that one trick that they were able to save a life under Shortrandy. It was because of their hard work that we learned that Shortland had been promoted to eight stars......" Speaking of this, the players couldn't help but sigh. Adventure 57
Compared to these players who are no more than seven-star beginners, eight-star bosses are too powerful, beyond the limits of what they can deal with.
Cheng Peng and Shen Qi glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
The strength of the enemy is not particularly exaggerated, but the teammates in this city ...... It's a bit of a no-brainer!
At the beginning of the fight against Saberu, although the main force was Cheng Peng and Felicia, after all, there were still a large number of six-star peaks to provide assistance, and there were many seven-star masters to assist, without the help of seven-star high-level players such as the Yamada brothers, it would be difficult to resist Saberu head-on with Cheng Peng alone.
Shortrandi's strength may not be stronger than Saberu's, but there is a lack of reliable comrades-in-arms who can fight side by side with Cheng Peng.
The strongest player in this small city is only a seven-star entry, and in the battle against an eight-star boss, this level of helper can only be used as an assistant, and there is no way to carry monsters side by side together!
After thinking for a while, Shen Qi sighed and stood up.
"Anyway, since you're here, you'll have to fight hard - take us to meet Lingling and Tears first, maybe they can have some other suggestions."
