652.
On a certain day, a certain month, a visitor from outside the sky descended from the sky. After piercing several layers of tree canopy www.biquge.info the visitor landed around a trading city area called Rutgers. When the city guards arrived at the scene, they couldn't find the figure of this extraterrestrial visitor, and all that was left at the scene was a humanoid pit and half of the remnants of the World Tree.
This kind of story, which should have belonged to urban legends, was eventually recorded in history, whether it was official history or wild history, and even some heroic stories that began to circulate many years later, there is the figure of this visitor from the sky. The identity of the visitor could not be verified, but there were no doubts about such a existence. Because although this incident sounds like nothing more than an urban legend, some of the information involved in it makes the credibility of this story skyrocket.
Because in this story, the visitor from the sky penetrated several layers of canopy before he came to the ground. Clearly, it is "breaking through" several layers of tree crowns! Even if there is a consensus that "the branches of the World Tree in the lowest canopy layer will not react much to ordinary attacks", there should be such a consensus, but now it is talking about penetration! It's a penetrating injury!
This did not trigger the rampant operation of the World Tree, so you can imagine how shocked people were at the time. After all, just a few months ago, the town of Voyage Town, which was known to the world as the three major trading hubs of the world, along with Rutgers City and another commercial city, was destroyed by the rampage of the World Tree! And according to the testimony of those eyewitnesses, the attack that triggered the rampage in the first place did not cause the kind of penetrating destruction as it does now!
When he first received the news from his subordinates, the lord of Rutgers City was almost scared out of his heart attack! Actually broke through several layers of canopy?! What a curse! The tragedy of Voyage Town is still fresh in my memory. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, there was an attack on the World Tree on Rutgers City?! This is the rhythm that will destroy the entire human social economy! Even though Rutgers City is one of the most powerful cities in human society. The defense force is definitely at the top of all human cities, but in front of the rampaging World Tree. All of this is scum!
However, just when the lord of Rutgers City ordered martial law to the whole city while cleaning up, the news that came back later made him think that he was dreaming. When did the World Tree become so talkative? The lord of Rutgers was able to sit at the pinnacle of power in a commercial city that was once one of the three major trading hubs, and he himself knew many secrets that were not open to ordinary people. The truth of the World Tree This city lord also knows something, throughout the entire card civilization, there has not been a single time after causing damage to the World Tree, the World Tree has not carried out a counter-devouring rampage!
Now that he suddenly heard that the World Tree had actually fought back after being broken through several layers of canopy, the lord of Rutgers City really couldn't accept it for a while. It's not that his adaptability is too poor, it's that this change is too fast and unscientific!
But. The World Tree's canopy has been pierced several layers, but it is an ironclad fact. The attack on the World Tree is a big event, and the emergency plan has already been activated. The people of the whole city are preparing to evacuate, but who knows that in the end, they will find that the promised World Tree has not appeared!
You know, the composition of Rutgers City is not the same as that of Voyage Town. Because it is a port over there, it is possible to encounter monsters from the sea at any time, so over there, although the combat professions account for most of the population, they are definitely the largest group of people. Rutgers City, on the other hand, is located inland because it is a commercial city. The defense itself is very good. In addition, there is no need to worry about being attacked by monsters, so among the residents here, merchants are the main ones. As for the combatants, they were generally guards hired by merchants and the like. This kind of mercenary form of mercenary employment relationship means that those who are combat professionals generally do not stay in the city for too long. After escorting an employer to Rutgers City, it won't take long to pick up a job escorting the new employer out of Rutgers City for another location.
So. Rutgers' approach to emergency preparedness is completely different from that of Voyagetown. As soon as something happens. The way to deal with this side is to abandon the city and flee, not to fight. Besides. Is it possible to fight such a thing as the World Tree Rampage? It's only right to run away.
But businessmen are a very wonderful group, although there are both combat professionals and life professionals, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are reluctant to profit. In the face of various crises, businessmen always want to take away much more than the rest of them! It's not an easy task to clean up once, and the living creatures you can bring have to be loaded into the car, right? If you can't take away the goods, try to hide them and reduce the loss, right? And then the ledger and the like, take it to the top to see it and keep it, okay? If you can't show it to the top, you have to be careful, right? If it's some guy who picks the door so hard that people don't dare to look at it directly, they even have to worry about whether to hire guards when they abandon the city and escape.
Therefore, the things that a creature like a merchant has to deal with before fleeing are much more complicated than ordinary people! I finally cleaned it up, but I found out that it was actually a false alarm?!
Nima drops! It's fun to post fake alerts, right?! It's hilarious to see us flustered, isn't it?! What a lack of morality! How can you endure this kind of thing?!
Fortunately, the lord of Rutgers City immediately came forward to clarify the incident, and he did not find a scapegoat to shirk the responsibility, after all, those merchants are all human spirits, and they can't be deceived at all. The city lord's way of dealing with it was very simple, and he took a group of people to see the canopy of the World Tree that had been pierced. In the face of ironclad evidence, the anger of the merchants was extinguished before it could burn. No one would think that the big hole that ran through the canopy of several layers was made by the city lord in order to remedy it afterwards, after all, it was the World Tree! You can't play like this even if you're dead, can you? As for why, after being penetrated through several layers of canopy, the World Tree did not go berserk? This kind of thing is even more unclear.
In the end, the lord of Rutgers City was not only not beaten by the group of merchants, but also received the support of many merchants and the forces behind them, making his position more stable.
in the commercial city. The most important thing is a variety of transactions. Of course, intelligence trading is also part of it. Messages like "The World Tree was broken down but didn't run away". Although because the place where it happened is too close to the city and there are many witnesses, it is impossible to sell it as exclusive information. But. Those who come to buy information will never mind buying information from several places to confirm its authenticity.
With the help of intelligence traffickers, the news that the canopy of the World Tree had been broken through but did not go violent, and in just half a day, it had already spread throughout the entire human society. After this news was confirmed, it also saved those forces who had previously been attacked for keeping prophets in captivity. After all, the reason for the crusade was to "anger the gods", and now that the World Tree has not gone berserk after being penetrated, doesn't that mean that the gods have lost their anger? In that case, then that reason cannot be used. After losing the righteousness that stands on the moral high ground. Naturally, ordinary people, who make up an overwhelming majority of the crusading army, will also stop.
As for those who continue to persevere? That's obviously a personal grudge! There is such a dirty thing as a personal grudge in the holy battle, so after the holy war is over, the counterattack of those attacked forces against these guys will not lead to any bad consequences.
……
"Hmm...... No progress......"
A few days later, a dark-haired youth was lounging in one of the Rutgers City markets. From time to time, he would look around at the materials on the stalls around him, and from time to time he would happily buy something. But after buying something, the joy on his face will turn to disappointment, as if the things he had liked before did not meet his expectations.
This person. It was the night clouds that returned to the ground. He was also the one who had broken through several layers of the World Tree's canopy before, but it was more appropriate to say "smash through" than "break through". At that time, it was because I wanted to sleep lazily, because I was already a half-immortal body. In this world, this kind of physical strength can already resist the attacks of many powerful monsters. So at that time, he was in the canopy of more than 50 floors, and he was looking for a downward passage, and it was the kind of downward passage that directly crossed dozens of floors. Take a leap. Then, quite simply, go straight to sleep in free fall. I'm going to wait until I feel the danger.
Ye Ziyun's original plan was to wake up and deal with danger if he encountered it. If there is no danger. Wait until you reach your destination, which is the canopy at the other end of the downstream. According to Ye Ziyun's understanding, if he smashes it like that, there will be two results. One of them was that the World Tree didn't react at all, because with his weight, he couldn't make the World Tree decide that it was attacked. The other is that after the World Tree is smashed by him, it will go berserk because of the counterattack mechanism. If the result is the former, Ye Ziyun will sleep until he wakes up naturally. If the result is the latter, then his enhanced teleportation skills in the name of the established achievement reward will be enough to ensure safety.
However, what Ye Ziyun didn't expect was that he still underestimated that half-immortal body too much. Although the body of a half-immortal is not as strong as the body of a real immortal, it is also a decent one, located at the peak of all the energy systems in this world, and even the best physique that has broken through that peak. Because the World Tree has ceased to grow, the extent of its influence, including itself, has not actually reached that level. Now that it is attacked from a higher level, the World Tree will not be able to withstand it! Although Ye Ziyun didn't deliberately use any skills of that level, in fact, he didn't have any skills of that level. However, under the effect of gravitational acceleration, the direct collision of the body of the demi-immortal was already equivalent to a physical attack of that level.
Just like Ye Ziyun didn't touch that level at the beginning, the dragon-shaped thunder was fine, and for the World Tree that hadn't touched that level and could never touch that level, Ye Ziyun's attack was completely unstoppable. As a result, it also caused the extraterrestrial incident.
However, this kind of thing doesn't mean much to Ye Ziyun, how people like to spread it is someone's business, as long as he himself is not seen in the face, there is no problem. The choice of this landing point is very wonderful, and by mistake, I actually came directly to a large commercial city like Rutgers City. So, while people were surprised that the World Tree didn't go berserk because it had pierced several layers of canopy, Ye Ziyun was shopping.
In such a commercial city, you must be able to find a lot of qualified materials, right? This is a rare opportunity to complete a batch of those huge established achievements, and the series of main quests can be completed quickly, and he will definitely push his progress in the world by a big step.
However, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny! Ye Ziyun's spatial perception is fully spread, using the monster backbone that he used to make a fishing rod that he used to make from a certain captain as a benchmark, as long as it is a material with a higher rank than that thing, he will buy it back and take a look. However, this seemingly quick accomplishment of a set of achievements has not actually been effective. After a few days, Ye Ziyun only found two materials that met the requirements of the system. The other material ranks are sufficient, but just like the high-grade minerals he got from the back of the Fengshan Dragon, they can't be recognized by the system for the same reason.
This is a very helpless thing, because the explanation given by the system Jun is that these things do not exist in this world when formulating the established achievements. It's not that it's systematic, it's that the speed of development is not scientific at all, it's the world tree that has made so many new kinds in a short period of time, it's the human beings who opened their brains in the pre-civilization period of this world, and it's the person who designed such a utopian world but abandoned it in the "really? Earth's "soul" is faint.
In the face of such force majeure, Yeziyun had no choice but to change his strategy. He gave up buying materials directly and in large quantities, and switched to buying intelligence. Specific target materials, Ye Ziyun made a list based on the memories from Uncle Bello, and selected all the high-level materials that had been discovered before he came to this world. However, there are also many newly discovered materials that existed before he came to this world, so while inquiring about the origin of the things in the list of self-made materials, Ye Ziyun did not completely stop buying materials. But this time, instead of going to those big chambers of commerce, he went directly to the bazaar like he did in Yuanhang Town.
In the past, when I was in Yuanhang Town, I ran to the market to try my luck because I didn't have enough funds, so I was helpless. Now that he has sufficient funds, he is helpless because the goods in the big chamber of commerce are often the latest and do not meet his needs......
In such a cheating world, the established achievements of a cheating father were made out by a cheating system. If you want to complete all those established achievements, in general, it is still a very pitty thing...... (To be continued.) )
