Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mechanical Minds, New Tasks Delegated

At eight o'clock in the evening, five second- and third-level students from the University of Totford camped deep in the Sodaro Forest after a dinner.

Young people always like to find something exciting and interesting to do, games, clubbing, and love, and when all this is done, the higher and higher pleasure threshold will naturally lead them to do something more excessive.

Three of the five were men and two women, and Dalter was the extra man...... The two bastard roommates in the same dormitory said that they were accompanying them out on an expedition, but they each brought their girlfriends out, and now they are in the two tents next to them...... Lao Tzu is still a single dog here, you guys can't be quiet, really don't Lao Tzu exist?

With a breath of turbidity, Dalter tried to clear his mind as much as he could, and began flipping through a book with a silver six-pointed star on the cover under the tent light.

Because there are really a large number of monsters in this world in recent years, the status of folk demon hunters has skyrocketed, and while the government is organizing demon hunting armies, universities around the world have also opened corresponding occult courses.

Dalt chose this major, and he was particularly interested in the origin of monsters, and one of the classic theories about the origin of monsters is that in areas where massacres have occurred and extremely evil events have occurred, after a certain period of brewing and fermentation, the probability of evil spirits and monsters has increased year-on-year.

This time, Dalter also came here with the idea of conducting academic research.

(Although I feel like I'm looking for death, although there has been a massacre in this area, there have been no vicious incidents, which shows that even if there are evil spirits generated, the intensity is small, as long as I have explored and found the evil spirits in the formation, my senior thesis has first-hand materials, which is enough to get an excellent graduation evaluation.) As Dalter pondered his profession, the sounds of "oh-oh-ahhh

"Ah......h

"You guys TM are sick, aren't you? There is a hotel near the school that doesn't sleep, so you have to come out with me***, *** forget it, the man called ......" Halfway through the shout out of the tent, Dalter was suddenly stunned.

Of the two tents of his classmates' roommates, one was already pitch black, while the white tent cloth of the other was suddenly smeared with a layer of diffuse red marks!

Because the lights were still on in the white tent, Dalter could see a huge figure waving in the tent before his friend's body fell to the side, the sound of blood spurting out of his throat almost audible.

This scene made Dalt's face suddenly turn pale, after all, he studied this profession, and hurriedly climbed back to his tent, then pulled the tent chain to extinguish the oil lamp, and finally pulled out an old black and gray shotgun from the salute.

īŧˆ...... No problem, no problem, even if it is a vicious evil spirit, it has not been long since it was generated, and its wisdom will not be too high, maybe they will be satisfied by killing Luoer, maybe...... Even if it did, my shotgun full of silver bullets would be enough to handle it. In the tent, Dalt, trembling with extreme fear, finally understood the truth that "if you don't die, you won't die, and if you die, you will die."

The huge shadow flashed around his tent like a swift wind, either in spiritual obscurity or in cat-and-mouse play, and in all, after about twenty minutes, Dalter found that the surroundings were completely silent.

(Go, go?)

Putting down the gun, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the tent behind Dalter made a "stab" sound, and the young man turned back sharply, and the shadow also fell at this moment.

Two weeks later, on the edge of the city of Gaotan.

Zhu Peng's body was full of light, and at the same time, his body had a translucent talent defense force field like an electric current spreading, during this time, he cultivated the light fighting spirit, and at the same time used the abundant essentia energy to assist in completing some small tasks to obtain the power of fate, and raised his spiritual power and fighting qi martial arts to the peak of the second order at the same time.

With the body of a spy descending from the shadow, Zhu Pengda can wantonly try the road he has not traveled in the past, and read hundreds of schools to enrich and improve his own heritage.

Because the opponents in this world were mainly lower-plane creatures, Zhu Peng did not choose to cultivate the nameless sword technique that he was already familiar with, but quickly cultivated a set of bright fighting qi classics that he had in the past: God Armament, Crown of Thorns. Of course, it has been deleted and refined according to its own situation.

After cultivating this set of fighting energy, you can obtain a light fighting energy that is extremely lethal to creatures in the lower plane, and activate the "Thorns" mystery to surge in defense and anti-injury capabilities, and the most terrifying thing is that this is still the aura fighting energy, and all teammates within a certain radiation range will be blessed.

Zhu Peng knew that with his increasing strength and fame, if he was against him, unless he was as arrogant as Vikru, everyone else would choose to cut off the wings of his teammates first, and then gather strength to deal with him. And by cultivating this set of bright fighting qi by themselves, Kiman and Vicky are protected by the radiation of the aura, which is equivalent to extending their own safety output time in disguise, which is really a terrifying team-type fighting qi martial arts.

The meditation method Zhu Peng chose the virtual wisdom brain, and after the cultivation, he greatly improved his logical thinking and reasoning ability, and added a mechanical mental effect, which was naturally restrained from Vikru's best mental and mental spells, and even had a certain ability to predict the future, which was the perception and experience that Zhu Peng had never had when he practiced the shadow mask meditation method.

To cultivate these new things, of course, you can't directly try your hand in front of a strong person of equal strength, so Zhu Peng came to the edge of the collapse of the world from time to time after completing the task.

The humanoid monsters in the poisonous mist of the deep valley, watching the lifeform that came out of their bodies that made them disgusting for a long time and refused to leave, some of the strongest ones would not be able to bear it after all, and roared and climbed up from below to attack Zhu Peng, sometimes several, sometimes dozens, sometimes even hundreds of colonies.

These humanoid monsters are the same as the humans in this world, if possible, they don't want to leave the range of their own camp, otherwise they will be uncomfortable, but now the discomfort brought to them by Zhu Peng standing here has far exceeded the discomfort caused by being on the edge of the world, and they will feel uncomfortable for a moment if they don't kill this light source body for a moment.

(Finally come up, let me feel the similarities and differences between the state at this time and the state of my subject.) With his hands stretched out, he chanted a mantra, and with the output of magic power, a slowly rotating magic pattern circle appeared in front of the man.

A moment later, before the group of human-like and wild monsters really rushed up, a semi-metallic white-haired giant ape with a multi-ballistic bazooka on his shoulders and a Vulcan cannon in both hands turned into light in the magic array:

King Kong Giant Ape (Iron Demon/Deep Blue):

Intimacy: 85

Rank: 2nd Tier, 20th Tier

HPīŧš30

Attack: 69

Defense: 80

Speed: 22

Special Attack: 49

Special Defense: 28

Sum: 278

Traits: Clean, the ability value will not be reduced by the opponent's skills.

Skills: 1. Gun mastery 2 Mental power 3 Missile punch 4 Self-regeneration

Inscription: A strong body, a steel array, a song of death with guns

In fact, it is not impossible to summon other demons in this world, but they will fall down with Zhu Peng, and the casting process is relatively cumbersome, but it is not as good as the steel giant ape that Zhu Peng has not been in for a long time and has not yet been promoted to the third order.

With two heavy machine guns and rockets forming a firepower network, a large number of humanoid monsters with white skin and sharp teeth were suddenly bombarded down, such as more than 100 human soldiers were met head-on by such firepower, and now they are probably dead, but the tenacity and vitality of the monsters in the lower plane are too much more than ordinary people, even if they are bombarded, they have not died but are injured, and more are more angry after being injured.

Zhu Peng slowly pulled out the sacrificial silver knife on his waist with a cold expression, after a long time of polishing and revising, this knife is now like a silver moon, and suddenly the man holding the knife opened his eyes, his expression was cold and terrifying like a machine, but at the same time it was full of a cold and divine meaning.

(Is this what the mechanical mind feels like?) Heartless and ruthless, absolute reason is above all things, and in the process of the operation of this meditation method, my deduction and calculation ability have been greatly improved, and it is indeed unique.) The thought flickered, and the man and the sword flashed at the same time.

The white light pierced the poisonous fog and darkness of the rift valley as if the sun had fallen, and the spread of light alone made the white-skinned humanoid monsters scream.

When Zhu Peng really slashed into the group of monsters, the scimitar with a large amount of bright fighting spirit attached to it was like a hot knife cutting butter, and the killing was smooth and bold, and there was no low damage of the King Kong giant ape suppressing it with gunfire.

(I see, the dark energy has formed a symbiotic relationship with the flesh and blood and even every cell, so that the blow on the purely physical level is of course half the effort, the flesh and blood are broken, but the energy does not dissipate, but the light fighting qi dissolves the dark energy, so that they can't even endure my existence for a long time.) The Bright Fighting Qi God Armament is not a bloody killing trick Fighting Qi, and without the forced penetration effect, Zhu Peng's body method can no longer be as pervasive as mercury, but it also adds a bit of fierce and domineering fierceness and terrifying!

When the killing was happy, the silver knife in Zhu Peng's hand was taken off, and he circled wildly around his master as if he was born and spiritual, wantonly slashing, while Zhu Peng's hands were wrapped in bright fighting energy, or fists, or claws, or palms, or fingers, and even because of the effect of the thorn aura of fighting spirit, Zhu Peng's whole body turned into fists.

The attack of any monster fell on him, punch to fist, foot to foot, headbutt, and for a while, Zhu Peng's body was full of thick blood mist in the form of a diffuse.

(The foundation of this body is too poor, and the martial arts of this body have not even entered the strength, but because of the effect of the bright fighting spirit, the strength anti-injury effect is even more than three points of ordinary Dan Dao masters, but it is not of much significance to me who is already in the Dangang realm, and the Dangang physical force removal effect is far superior to the thorn counter-injury, and it is impossible to kill a strong enemy simply by relying on the anti-injury effect of the fighting spirit.) Killing while thinking, the mechanical mind is very much compatible with Zhu Peng's martial arts killing method to a certain extent, and his absolutely rational mental state greatly improves his combat efficiency. However, in a sense, it also overlaps with the effect of the Pure Yang Immortal Heart, and there are many differences between the mechanical mind and the Pure Yang Immortal Heart, but it seems that it can be partially integrated into the Pure Yang Immortal Heart.

The Flying Splint Scimitar's fighting qi was exhausted and fell back into Zhu Peng's hands, he flew up suddenly, and the fighting qi around the body spread in mid-air, and when he landed, it was like a huge white sun falling into the strange group...... If ordinary people dare to use the Bright Fighting Qi and the Purgatory Flame in this way, they will definitely use it once to explode, and their bodies will be blown to pieces.

However, Zhu Pengdan Daoren's Xiandangang level of micro-manipulation control, the bright fighting qi and the purgatory fierce fire seem to be combined with each other inside and out, but in fact, they are clearly distinct from each other, just like the waves of the Yangtze River to form a second strike effect, no matter whether the opponent responds to the fierce fire in the same way, or in the way of dealing with the bright fighting qi, he will be pit with blood all over his face, and even die inexplicably.

Rumble!!

When the white sun fell, huge black-gray pits appeared, and the humanoid monsters within the aftermath range were even washed to death, and those within the scope of this move were "purified" to the point that there were no bones left, and Zhu Peng held the silver scimitar after landing and frowned and thought, for him, it was just a practice of fighting man-machine machines, far from being a battle in the real sense.

(Can I integrate the anti-injury effect of the thorn fighting qi into the concept of Taijiquan offset counter-attack, I only need to intercept part of the fighting qi effect and integrate it into the blood killing recipe system, and I don't even need to form a new fighting qi mystery, just as a counterattack secret hand, bombard the opponent's attack with his own strength at the moment of the killing, and the lethality must be very amazing...... However, this move has no effect on large-scale bombardment sorcery, and the external power controlled by the wizard is ten times and a hundred times the upper limit of his own spirit, unless it is a wizard whose rank is much lower than mine, otherwise my instantaneous power cannot reach that high. īŧ‰

"Bang bang, it's really powerful, it's just the last knife, even if the legend is hit head-on, he will be seriously injured if he doesn't die. The melodious voice came, and the Charles sisters came together, and the edge of the rift in this world has become an excellent gathering point for the advent of the spy, and ordinary humans in this world will never approach this place normally.

"Didn't you say goodbye some time ago, and stole a check from me, and now you want to pay back the money when you come back?" Slowly getting out of the mechanical state of mind, Zhu Peng put the knife back into the sheath, and at the same time, the King Kong giant ape behind him also disappeared in the diffusion of light.

"Hey, do you want to do this, you put the signed big check on the table, don't you just let our sisters get out of the way early, don't get in the way of you making out with that indigenous woman?

"My sister and I are not strong so far, if we want to establish our own demon hunting group, we do need a start-up capital, if Senior Brother Zhu, you really mind, after this period of time has passed, we will return it to you with interest." However, this time I came here to ask Senior Brother Zhu, don't you want to hunt down Vikru with us? That is also your most important task, right?" Audene Charles said slowly, she was no longer dressed as a woman when she was at Zhu Peng's house, but a leather dress, adding three points of cold and sexy appeal.

"I don't want to be led by that guy's nose, Veruk was born in a big aristocratic family in this world, plus he has been doing things for the devil all these years, he knows far more about this world than us, instead of chasing him like a hound and biting him, the enemy is dark and I am clear, in my opinion, it is better to strengthen my own strength, and wait until I am completely unsealed and restored to the legendary rank...... I don't care about another ten Vikru. After speaking, Zhu Peng ignored the Charles sisters and walked straight into the distance.

"What, what a brazen guy, he just wants us to work for a day, if we find Vikru's traces, we will definitely call him together to ensure success, but if we don't find it, he has enough essentia energy in his hands, and he will be invincible if he goes all out to improve himself...... Are all earthlings so shameless?" Marilyn watched Zhu Peng go away, disappearing into the mist, and her back stomped her feet angrily.

"Senior Brother Zhu has enough essentia energy in his hands, and he is very comfortable attacking and retreating, let's dissipate our anger, who told us to be careless, and we were caught by that guy Vikru at the beginning of the coming. ”

........................

When Zhu Peng returned to his home in the city in Vicky's car, he saw Kidman opening the door to send off a crying family of three siblings.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and the same is true for the business of hunting demons.

Zhu Peng's name as the "Dark Knight" resounded throughout Gaotan City, so much so that within the radiance of his fame, countless people came to entrust the task, but most of the tasks were meaningless, and even giving it to Vicky to practice it was not enough.

It's like a well-known surgeon, there are more than N people waiting for him to see a doctor outside the door every day, some people have a serious cold and come to the back door to seek medical treatment, which is also bearable, but you have too much kidney deficiency and come to me, this is too much, the old military doctor advertisement posted on the telephone pole is actually more suitable for you.

Zhu Peng, who was really annoyed, simply took Kidman to live in the rich area of Jin Xiehua, where the strict security directly blocked most of the task commissions.

Of course, Zhu Peng still accepts the entrustment of the demon hunting task, but only the document description is received, and the guests are not accepted, otherwise anyone will feel that their affairs are the most urgent, and if they are blocked at home by the client every day, the work will really not be able to be carried out.

"What's the matter, how did these little guys get in?" After the sister in her twenties left with her younger brother and sister, Zhu Peng suddenly appeared beside Kiman, hugged her slender and sturdy waist, and kissed the girl gently.

"After kneeling outside for a day and a half, the youngest passed out, and I couldn't stand it anymore and brought it in. Of course, it is up to you to decide whether this case will be accepted or not. ”

Two weeks ago, he disappeared in the Sodaro Forest, along with two men and two women, and the local police explained that they had been attacked by a mountain bear, but Dalt's sister Miru refused to believe it, believing that her brother had been taken by a monster and that he must still be alive. Kidman said as he took out the written paper, a police officer with a professional background, and he was extremely organized and meticulous.

“...... Two weeks ago, the jungle monster, even if he hadn't been swallowed, was almost rotten by now. "The client can be washed away by emotions and make judgments that he wants to believe, but the witcher cannot, especially since this kind of mountain and forest monster is relatively harmless, and basically no one will be killed after it is classified as a forbidden area, so this kind of commission is almost the most meaningless to accept.

"Legend has it that there was a cave of dry bones in the depths of the Sodaro Forest, where a primitive group lived here for generations, who sacrificed the blood of living people to the cave every year until they were suddenly wiped out about twenty years ago in modern times. As he spoke, Kidman took out an old black-and-white photo and pushed it in front of Zhu Peng.

"That Miru is really a very smart girl, she knows that she can't pay enough commission to make you happy, but she seems to have found a reason to make your heart flutter. ”

In the black-and-white photo, a group of primitive tribes similar to the Indians are dancing around a shining crystal skull, even through the photo, people can feel the extraordinaryness of this crystal skull, and Zhu Peng, as a high-level appraiser, his vision will only be more accurate and vicious.

īŧˆ...... Legends, even epic things, even if I can't get my hands on them, I can't let Vikru get the news or even get it, otherwise things will be really tricky. After returning to the Overworld from the Advent World, the Spy Wizard can teleport back some items via the Reverse Energy Manifestation.

In the first game of the "God's Chessboard" Zenda World, Zhu Peng bought the Star Iron, and the star-shaped Holy Emblem was the main material for him to cast his legendary wand and Wrath of the Lich King, and that one still consumed too much energy to manifest the "Civilization Will Ball", otherwise there would be more things that could be obtained.

In this world, Zhu Peng has already purchased two No. 6 rune stones, and he also needs to prepare some reverse source energy to activate the soul preservation mechanism for Kiman, but even so, there should still be leftovers.

All in all, as Kidman said, this mission has a reason for Zhu Peng to go on a trip in person.

"Call the three siblings back, I have some questions for them personally. Looking down at the photo in his hand, Zhu Peng said slowly.

That night, before Zhu Peng was fully prepared for the next trip, a white-haired old man in a suit and leather shoes with a very temperamental demeanor came to the door first.

"Mr. Trobbs, what is the wind that has brought you here, please be seated. Zhu Peng put down the gun he was debugging, and at the same time beckoned the white-haired old man to sit down, this old man has a reputation in the business community of the entire Gaotan City, and everyone has met a few times, and they can be regarded as familiar.

"Mr. Chino is busy, so I will say some things directly, people are old, and I don't want to say anything more for a long time, if there are any words that offend you, please forgive me. At this time, Kidman walked in with coffee, and she poured a cup for Zhu Peng and Zhuo Bos.

"Well, thank you. ”

“...... You don't have to be polite, are you here for my next long-distance mission?" Taking a sip of coffee, Zhu Peng said directly to the old man.

"Yes, Mr. Chino is still so sharp. Well, Mr. Chino, if you are not satisfied with our monthly commission, you can just ask for it, and we will raise it for you by two or three more levels, so why do you need to take those scattered orders from the outside?"

"I understand what you mean, you're worried that if I leave, I'll void the defenses of the apartment complex. "If it was any other descending spy shadow, he might not be too lazy to waste words with the natives of such a plane in front of him, but in comparison, Zhu Peng's arrogance is not as obvious as that of other wizards, especially for the old man with great grace and talent, he is still willing to maintain a respectful posture due to the inertia of Chinese civilization.

Originally, it was a trouble that could be solved in a few words, and there was no need to cause more trouble by disdainful of justifying the response.

"Now that you have understood, is it possible to give up your trip to the Sodaro Forest? While the plight of the siblings is very sympathetic, we are willing to sponsor a fee for Miss Miru to hire other witchers to find her missing brother, and this level of work does not necessarily require you to do it yourself. In his words, Mr. Jobs spoke politely, politely, not humbly, not arrogantly, and it can be said that all aspects have been taken into account. It is true that the powerful businessmen in this apartment complex are reluctant to move Constantine at will, especially after the last incident in which Kidman was injured, but the children who were attacked were unscathed, which highlights the meaning of protection.

"According to common sense, your arrangement is already very good, old man, but there is a question that you have overlooked?"

"Huh?"

"Do you think that if the witcher doesn't accept the commission and doesn't participate in the battle for a long time, how much combat power will we have left over after a long time? "Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, Zhu Peng originally planned to ask the Charles sisters to take care of their own nest during the time they left, people like Vikru would disdain to shoot at ordinary people if they didn't need to, and like other conventional monsters, the Charr sisters' current strength is enough to deal with most of them.

“...... Well, Mr. Chino did convince me that a soldier who does not go to the battlefield for a long time will indeed reduce his combat effectiveness, so you will be bothered by the safety of the apartment area, and I wish you all the best in your mission. ”

"It is your intellect that convinces you, and rest assured that I will make proper arrangements. Sending away Mr. Zhuobos, Zhu Peng calmed down again before the other party left.
