Chapter 107: Gathering
As time passed, more adventurers came from far and wide.
By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, there were more than two hundred adventurers gathered here.
In the nearly two-day hunting competition, everyone harvested a bunch of keys dropped by the corpse brothers, and opened a lot of useful or useless props and equipment.
So, after the first adventurer took out a small space tent and set up a stall, the other adventurers followed suit.
First, you are about to challenge the final boss, and it's time to replenish equipment and exchange intelligence information, and secondly, you can properly clean up the inventory that you can't use, clean up the rags, and barter things to get what you're interested in. Third, it is extremely rare for so many adventurers to gather together and have a large amount of surplus equipment on them, and at this time, trading can also avoid the "business income tax" that dominates exploitation, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.
Adventurers write the information of the equipment and props they intend to sell or exchange on the virtual light screen that only adventurers can see, so as to erase the possibility of revealing the secrets of the city, although in the eyes of ordinary citizens, adventurers are just a group of stupid Γ sweating under the scorching sun, and they don't know what to call it~~
Lin Xiao was also idle at this time, so he shuttled around the trading stall, looking for something that interested him.
At this time, he walked to the front of a stall, the stall owner was an explosive-headed young man, lying bored on a bamboo chair, his stall sold some very common drop of zombie flesh essence as well as low-level equipment and healing medicines, so the popularity is scarce, and the door is crowded.
Seeing Lin Xiao come in, he just thought he was another bastard who only looked at and didn't buy, so after glancing at Lin Xiao with slanted eyes, he yawned lazily, and didn't even owe a polite word.
Lin Xiao shrugged, and suddenly pointed to the whole series of images of a thing and said to the seller:
"How much does this cost?"
The seller glanced at it and said weakly:
"500 points a point, the cost price is 1,000 points, no counteroffer."
Lin Xiao smiled and said:
"How do you know the cost? Did this thing still cut off from you? β
βohοΌshitοΌ Why bother me with this cosy tea time? Before I count to three, you're either going to pull out that damn point to pay the bill, or fuck off! Get out of here, O Buddha, forgive me, I'm going to curse those damned slug-mutant beasts with a single qiΔ vicious language! β
"Even though your pitch is unappealing, I'm going to take care of your business." Lin Xiao shrugged and said, "Give me three pills of this medicine, and you will get a full 500 points as a reward." β
"You idiot! Do you want me to repeat it again? 500 points each, because the price in the city is 1000 points! If you are verbose, I will shove your toes into your hateful mouth and let you taste the sausage. β
"Then I can only regret to tell you that the final destination of these medicines can only be your duodenum."
Lin Xiao was about to leave, and after three steps, the annoyed voice of the exploding young man sounded behind him:
"Wait, come back! Okay, okay, I've had enough of this damn thing, where's the 500 points you promised? β
Soon, Lin Xiao obtained three medicines called "Rotten Eyeballs", which were somewhat blue-black in shape, about the size of broad beans, and would exude an indescribable smell from time to time, like the smell of a liquid in a spittoon being boiled by a fire. If you think about the smell when you eat it, you will vomit immediately, and its properties are as follows:
"Name: Rotten Eyeball."
"Catalog:Indirect adjuvant drugs."
"Effect: Perceiving and confusing enemies."
"Conditions of use: None."
"Description: This is the product of random concocting directly from some kind of small-eyed monster, they like dark places (such as sewers), often haunt near trash cans, and belong to rodents~~"
"Specific use effect: After taking it, it can produce a confusing effect, making the enemy misjudge your strength."
"Warning: When used, there is a 75% chance that the user's various values will be disguised, causing them to appear weakened/strengthened for three minutes."
"Warning: Most of the drug's abilities have been rendered useless, and only the Selective Camouflage Weakening effect is currently available, and this effect only applies to story creatures. However, if the gap between the mental power of the story creature and your mental power perception is too large, then the chance of being detected is greater. β
"Juggernaut's Comment: Trust me, you're not going to want to taste it carefully."
It seemed that this was the first deal made by the exploding head youth, so his eyes when he looked at Lin Xiao softened a lot. actually grabbed Lin Xiao and talked enthusiastically:
"Dude, what's your name?"
"Lin Xiao."
The name is just a code name, and the exploding head obviously doesn't really want to know who Lin Xiao's surname is, so after hearing Lin Xiao's self-introduction, he introduced himself very proudly: "Jack! β
Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't react, he rolled his eyes and added: "Jack the Ripper."
In fact, the name Jack is quite common in Western countries, probably as common as the Chinese "Brother Qiang", and apart from Captain Jack Sparrow, Jack the Ripper is also one of the most famous, who dismembered at least five women in 19th-century London, dissected their internal organs, and wrote letters to the police to provoke them - of course, the most important thing is that he was never caught, and his true identity has been lost to history. The explosive head seller uses this name, and it has a fierce and cruel smell that comes to its face.
When the two said their names to each other, they stretched out their hands and shook each other, and smiled meaningfully as if they were exchanging business cards:
"I sincerely feel that I am lucky to know you."
"I think so too."
ββ
It's a very nutritious conversation, but it's the only way for adventurers to get closer
When the sun sank in the evening, the adventurers spontaneously began to approach a nearby restaurant.
When everyone came to the lobby, a tall woman with long purple hair silently recited a spell and slammed the staff in her hand to the ground, and the transparent light shield spread like water waves, quickly enveloping the entire lobby.
"This mask can only go in and out, so we don't have to be overheard and punished when we talk about certain sensitive issues."
"Let's talk about the next move." Shin Ye said lazily, "My spear is already hungry and thirsty!" β
Nearly two hundred adventurers gathered together, although there were many people, but they were not chaotic - here, the people who really have the right to speak and speak loudly must be the strong.
And who among these people has a better say than the regional top four teams who have been recognized by the Dominant?
Lin Xiao and they can't do it, and the Chu Yuntian Alliance, one of the old powerhouses, can't do it either.
Excluding the Blade Team that was promoted to the third difficulty, the Yuntao Team that was destroyed by Lin Xiao's design team, there are currently only two top four teams left: Team Blast and Team Skywolf.
And the woman with purple hair and starry eyes is the spiritual power of the Sky Wolf Team, and the legend seems to strengthen the Athena bloodline, able to see through fate and control the future, of course, this is just a legend
The captain of the Sky Wolf Team was also a handsome young man in his twenties, and in the face of Xinye's ridicule, he just shrugged his shoulders very casually and smiled:
"Haotian, the captain of the contemptible Sky Wolf Team, because of the urgency of time, I will preside over this meeting for the time being."
As he spoke, he said:
"I guess everyone has heard some rumors more or less, right? Then I can tell you now that Lin Xiao, the captain of the Celestial Gods, has obtained accurate information from the Yanhuang Special Energy Team, and at 12 noon tomorrow, a nuclear bomb with a yield of 20 million tons will explode over H City."
"And we will be able to safely return to the city at 6 p.m. tomorrow evening."
The adventurer was slightly commotioned, even if someone had heard the faint news, but now that it was confirmed by the Sky Wolf Team, he still couldn't help but tighten his heart, and couldn't help but ask:
"This is a trap?!"
"That's right, that's the trap set by the Juggernaut! Under the bombardment of a nuclear bomb with a yield of 20 million, we adventurers are not much stronger than an ant, so in fact, we only have the first way to go, and the only way to survive, which is to kill the corpse king and achieve the return conditions stipulated by the master."
"Fortunately, this trap was seen through by Captain Lin Xiao, so we were able to arrive here more than ten hours in advance, instead of hunting the corpse brother on the road, and wait until the last moment, when the master lowered the death ultimatum, he panicked like a lost dog, and it was precisely because of this trap that we would have enough time to make a battle plan, instead of fighting an uncertain battle."
Any large-scale battle must have strategy and tactics to speak of, even the street gangster brawl knows a simple flank ambush, the kind of fight that swarms together, can only appear on the kindergarten boys
"Judging from the current world's combat power level, the Corpse King is definitely not something that can be killed by two people, so teamwork is essential, and I build a team with the current inherent group as the core, absorb lone wanderers and small groups, and combine them into a team of twenty people, so that it will not be too big, but also cooperate as much as possible in the battle."
"In addition to the fixed first-line defense MT, core shooters and stealth assassins, our real damage exporters are divine professionals, after all, the corpse king is an undead monster"
"First of all, it is the first set of crowd tactics based on a team of twenty people, taking care of each other, acting as horns for each other, evenly outputting damage, and drowning the corpse king with attacks."
"Of course, this is based on the fact that the Corpse King does not have a strong debuff resistance and movement speed"
"This is the second set of tactics, the decapitation operation"
