Chapter 9: Temptation and Fiasco
As a newcomer, the only person Li Shi can think of is this group of people, if he can't borrow enough strength from their hands, then relying on his own accumulation, it is definitely not an easy thing to complete the task. So Li Shi can only gamble!
If you win the bet, you don't say that you will soar into the sky, at least this task can be guaranteed to be completed, and if you lose the bet, at most your own accumulation is a little slower, as for being hated by them...... I am not the same as them, and as long as I honestly hide in the range of the No. 33 defense tower, unless they betray the guards, at least they can't directly use force against themselves, and as long as they don't do it directly, no matter what the situation is, there is always a way for them.
Li Shi thought of this, that is, he was stationed in the No. 33 defense tower, with the protection of the defense tower, it was safe here, that is, he rested with peace of mind first, and recuperated to prepare for the attack of natural disasters.
Until Li Shi was woken up by the tree man Jingwei, Li Shi originally thought that the Cataclysmic Legion was preparing to attack, but he didn't expect that it was Mei Nu who came to find him, Li Shi looked at the time and found that six hours had passed, Mei Nu came to find him so quickly, this was really beyond Li Shi's expectations, originally Li Shi thought that they would have to think about it for a long time!
To be honest, Li Shi has a common sense misunderstanding here, that is, he thinks that gold coins are universal goods, but in fact, the universal currency in this dream space is points and potential points, and gold coins are only the common currency in the world of Warcraft games, which can neither be taken out of this world, nor can they have any value-added, and in the case of being able to exchange them for combat effectiveness, basically all the practitioners will exchange them for combat effectiveness. Therefore, although Li Shi wants to get a lot of gold coins, it will not make the trialists feel distressed, especially when more than ten trialists can buy a catapult if they each give one or two hundred gold coins, and for these powerful trialists, they will have an income of one or two hundred gold coins if they kill one or two creatures at will, but what they need is not gold coins, but points, potential points, and meritorious deeds, which can only appear on the body of small bosses, elite units or hero units.
And in these six hours, Mei Nu used her long-sleeved and good dancing communication skills to directly get the purchase price of the catapult, only 800 gold coins, but the wood needs 60 wood, which can only be purchased in the form of a team, and can only buy 1 tael of catapults each time!
After all, no matter how strong the communication skills are, the effect of Li Shi's plan to complete the task through formal channels and provide follow-up guarantee for the manufacture of catapults is still incomparable. It seems that no one can eliminate the existence of gray trading, but the cost of gray trading is definitely greater than that of regular trading.
After this group of people got this price, they suddenly lost their words, they could still accept 800 gold coins, but the resource of trees was not something that the trialists could get! After all, not everyone is like Li Shi, who completed the task reasonably, and thus obtained an auxiliary slave like the Hill elf to help him gather resources.
Therefore, this group of people also felt that Li Shi's offer of 2,000 was definitely a fair price, and maybe the extra 1,200 gold coins were to erase the extra resource of trees. Even if there is extra money, it won't be too big, and more importantly, it's just gold coins, not points and potential points, and everyone doesn't care. On the contrary, everyone thinks that Li Shixin is too shy, so he is embarrassed to open a high price, if it is replaced by a powerful old man, maybe it will be strange if he does not multiply five times or ten times at this time!
If Li Shi knew that the blackmail he thought was a conscientious businessman in the eyes of this group of wealthy people, he didn't know whether he would accuse the world of being too dark, or whether he should feel that he was too young.
"That kind of catapult, there should be a limited purchase amount, how much can you buy?" Mei Nu looked at Li Shi and said.
"Uh......" Li Shi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Mei Nu's first question was actually this, so he said directly, "I have a purchase limit of two units a day, because I have to defend the No. 33 defense tower myself, so I will release one at most!" ”
"If that's the case...... I don't think it's worth much! Mei Nu frowned and said, "You also know, these catapults are not outstanding in individual combat effectiveness, they must be grouped, and their combat effectiveness is amazing. ”
"I can't ......help it," Li Shi shook his head and said, "This is already the cheapest price, if it is lower, I may not have enough gold coins to strengthen myself and deal with possible crises, if Tower 33 can't be defended, then even if I get more gold coins, it doesn't make any sense, isn't it, Sister Meinu." ”
"Hehe......" Hearing Li Shi's words, Mei Nu smiled slightly and said, "I know that you, you guy, won't suffer." ”
The silver bell-like laughter rushed into Li Shi's ears, making Li Shi's heart flutter, but he didn't have time to think about it yet, but Mei Nu's expression said solemnly, "Okay! 2000 gold coins per piece, every day you have to buy a catapult for us. When Mei Nu said this, she directly sent 6,000 gold coins to Li Shi's hand, and said, "This is the payment, tomorrow you will send the catapult over by yourself, you don't need my sister and me, let's explore it again!" ”
"It's a must, are you still in that bar, tomorrow, I'll deliver something!" Li Shi patted his chest and reassured.
Mei Nu is so easy to speak, but also because of generosity, after all, Tyrant Tiger, as the leader of the team, must command this catapult, so he is a big head, and all the gold coins in the hands of other people were bought by him in the form of points, and a group of people also felt that they had no loss, and in the end, this bargaining was handed over to Mei Nu, because Mei Nu and Li Shi were the most familiar in a group of people, so Tyrant Tiger handed over the matter to Mei Nu to do, but he didn't expect that Mei Nu just casually mentioned it and brought it over. If the violent tiger knew about the negotiation between the two sides, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he vomited blood.
Watching Mei Nu go away, Li Shi took out the liaison device of the arsenal, with a huge sum of 6,000 in his hand, Li Shi directly bought three trebuchets, two of which Li Shi went to the arsenal to pick up, and one was directly delivered to the door and transported to the No. 33 defense tower.
Because it's a Dota world, it's not surprising to encounter a catapult on the road, after all, this is at most the elite of the cannon fodder class, and in fact it is still a cannon fodder class. Of course, this cannon fodder is relative to the hero unit. But at the end of the day, the trialists have long been aesthetically tired of the catapults of these plots, so they naturally don't worry about anything.
In such a situation, Li Shi took two catapults openly, and first went back to the No. 33 defense tower to defend, and the others saw it and didn't say anything, because although Li Shi was still not in the eyes of the seniors, the No. 33 shared task was the back road in the eyes of the trialists, and even if it was a dessert after the completion of the main task, it was not impossible.
Li Shi took these two catapults for the defense of the No. 33 defense tower, and pretended to be a public and private, as long as Li Shi could hand over a catapult to himself and others the next day, then everyone would turn a blind eye.
Li Shi hid one catapult, but even if the two catapults were under Li Shi's command, the entire line became stable and abnormal. After all, there are treeman elites as shields at the front, and Li Shi himself occasionally makes bait to "lure monsters", and the addition of two catapults suddenly increased the output efficiency of the entire defense line by more than 30%, especially when the boulders thrown by the catapults smashed on the ghouls, making the ghouls fall apart, which is particularly rewarding.
And when Li Shi used a catapult to mend the ghoul, he suddenly found that the gold coins he obtained actually obtained a full 43 points, but this sudden income made Li Shi stunned for a while, but he was soon filled with surprises.
Although the attack speed and movement speed of the two catapults are not fast, they are just right to mend the knife, under the conscious control of Li Shi, the two catapults are combined to mend the residual blood unit, twenty or thirty ghouls, Li Shi successfully mended the knife to eighteen or nineteen, this is also because at the beginning of the use of catapults to mend the knife is a bit handy, and then it is used more, and the accuracy will naturally come up.
And in this battle, there were long-range magicians who could shoot magic bullets, but there were two catapults in these vulnerable long-range magicians, which were taken care of by Li Shi, and they were the first to be killed.
On the second day, Li Shi first went to the arsenal, bought three catapults, handed over two of them to the Tyrant Tiger and others, and then obediently went to the No. 33 defense tower, without any urge to do any task, Li Shi knew very well that this map, if it was really a frontal battle, he couldn't even beat a cannon fodder-level ghoul, and staying under this defense tower was a serious and responsible for his own life!
Storm Tiger and the others, although they were surprised by Li Shi's continuous purchase of catapults, were not too surprised, because in their opinion, Li Shi must have stuck oil and water, and now they just confirmed this, and now Storm Tiger and others still have something to do, for Li Shi, a guy who is stuck in oil and water, when he comes back, he will naturally be able to clean it up, is it possible that so many deep capitalists are still afraid of this novice rookie!
However, the group rushed forward in high spirits, but they came back dejected, and even the two catapults were destroyed, and the stone leopard was even more glorious and righteous, and it can be said that a group of people were completely defeated to the extreme!
