Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mask of Hypocrisy and the Lover's Bracelet
Authority is sometimes built not only on one's own rightness, but also on the mistakes of the other.
The word ally represents a very peculiar kind of human relationship, which is based on interests, bonds of friendship, and status is determined by strength. In a way, allies are the most unreliable relationship in the world, but they can't do without.
The terms derived from the relationship of allies include untrustworthiness, intrigues, and mutual exploitation.
Whenever one side makes a mistake, it's usually the other side asking for a price.
Shen Yi naturally will not miss the opportunity.
Vina is forced to agree to hand over all the chests from mutants, and from now until the end of this mission, they can't leave anything but kills. In addition, in the later operations, they must obey Shen Yi's command.
As for the other team, they have no problem with that.
Any alliance has a center, and in this case, a new alliance team is formed.
After a short agreement, Shen Yi urged everyone to pack up and leave immediately. The fat man ran over and asked Shen Yi if the little boy was crying and wanting to leave, could he be released. Shen Yi thought for a while and said, "No, don't let him go yet." β
At this time, the blizzard outside had long since stopped with the departure of the Storm Girl, and the ice and snow melted, washing the ground covered in blood and water.
In today's battle, twelve adventurers killed hundreds of mutants and suddenly became the top figures on the leaderboard. The current leaderboard rankings are as follows:
Shen Yi ranked first with 112 kills, of which 50 were from Jakenhag, and the rest were from the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion and himself. Hong Lang, King Kong and Gentle occupy the second, third and fourth places respectively, each of them has seventy or eighty kill points, and the adventurer of the North District, who was originally the first place, suddenly fell to fifth, even so, he already has more than 40 kill points, and the speed of this person's hunting is really amazing. The fat man failed to enter the top ten, but he also scored a lot of kill value, entered the top 20, and the Eastern Region once again ranked first with a large score advantage.
Because of this killing, Wei Na An Wen and the others each got twenty or thirty kill points, An Wen and the three successfully got out of the erasure list, and the four Wei Na entered the top ten list in the Western District, although the West District is still ranked last, but it is only three points short of the South District.
In addition, the East End currently has 24 adventurers, one of whom died. There were 23 adventurers in the North District, 2 dead. 21 adventurers in the South District, 4 dead, 20 adventurers in the West District, 5 deaths.
This is also the main reason why the West District is far behind the other three districts, on the first day of the competition, the West District died five adventurers one after another, and the strength of the impact is not insignificant. In addition, the mutant address information obtained by Wei Na and the others was preempted by Shen Yi and them, resulting in almost no harvest on the first day, so that the progress fell behind greatly. Otherwise, the adventurers of the West Side would not be so familiar with the region, even if their combat effectiveness is limited.
But this time, Shen Yi paid them back.
This is also what makes Weina Lake and the others particularly unhappy - obviously they came to help you save people, but in the end, they had to be taught a lesson by Shen Yi and robbed all the loot. But thinking about it, Shen Yi really didn't ask for himself, it was they who wanted to rush over, and they could only admit it.
Now that the matter is over, everyone reintroduces and gets to know each other.
An Wen's two partners, one is named Li Xu, and the other is called Yang Ping, the three of them are newcomers who have just experienced the novice mission and came to this world, because they have cooperated in the same novice task, so they spontaneously combined together after entering the mission world together this time. Although their abilities are a little low, the two young people, Li Xu and Yang Ping, have easy-going personalities, so they were quickly welcomed by Hong Lang and others.
As for Wei Na and them, everyone has fought once, but they know more deeply. Since Shen Yi took advantage of them in the last fight, the winner always doesn't care about the loser, so he is very generous and accepts them as well.
They chatted with each other for a few moments, and soon became acquainted.
During the period, he asked Shen Yi gently: "Isn't it good to do this? If you don't give them any sweetness, you will have a lot of opinions about us." β
She was referring to Shen Yi taking Wei Na and them all the loot away.
Shen Yi replied gently: "Don't think that if you are good to others, others will be good to you." This naΓ―ve idea is unacceptable. Yes, you should be sincere to your friends and share your interests, but it also depends on who you are. These Europeans and Americans are not all the way to us, and they are destined to become a permanent alliance with us. Even if you are good to him, after the completion of this mission, everyone will go their own way, and the friendship established will not have the slightest meaning, and in turn, when you face it again in the future, you are likely to become an enemy, and then everyone will restrain yourself because of the friendship. But most importantly, people are born with a servile nature. If you are good to him, he may not be grateful to you, but if you are fierce to him, he will listen to you out of fear. The reason why they listen to me now is because I can make it safe for them, and as long as we continue to do so, they will always be obedient. But if we can't do it...... No matter how much you give them, they will immediately turn their backs. So don't worry about these guys. β
Speaking of this, Shen Yi said meaningfully: "To deal with this kind of person, you have to be like raising a dog, you can't not feed it, and you can't feed it too much!"
Gentle was a little dumbfounded: "Is your mind full of how to use people?"
"There have been too many such things in history, and the Americans themselves have done it, and they have done it to Japan and South Korea. Shen Yi said with a smile: "But when it comes to playing power tricks and conspiracies, the way of control, the Chinese are the ancestors, and they are just backward." β
Gently laughed: "What about the three in the East District?"
"No exploitation, no oppression, paid support when you need help, and follow standard procedures. β
"Differentiated?"
"Treat differently. β
"Understood. Gently patted Shen Yi, jumped on the Land Rover and said: "Give back the car you robbed, it's too bad, it's a shame to drive out." β
Shen Yi looked at the car owner.
The owner of the car was looking at him with tears in his eyes.
Shen Yi couldn't help laughing anymore.
βββββββββββββ
After the three cars drove away from the chaotic 198 Street, the road was peaceful.
Twenty minutes later, they stopped at a motel.
This was their 28th hour into the mission world.
Everyone took a temporary break, Vena and Paro went out to find out the news, and Feller and an adventurer from the East Side drove to refuel the car. Lake reassigned the license plate and dismantled the GPS location system β or they would soon be chased by New York government forces.
I have to say that with these Americans, many things are much easier to do. They know very well what to do here to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The Fat Man is in charge of the little boy and Nedinier. As for Shen Yi, the four of them had nothing to do anyway, so they simply went into the room to clean up the loot.
Let's open the box from mutants first, there are eight in total, one of which is from the fourth-level mutant Jakenhag, one is from the third-level mutant, two is from the second-level mutant, and four is from the first-level mutant. The chests of the four Level 1 mutants were all filled with yellow explosives worth three hundred blood points, which could only be exchanged for money. However, the 1,200 blood points thrown to the store can only be exchanged for 720 points, and the distribution to each person's head is only enough to add a little attribute.
As for the chests of the two second-level mutants, one of them opened three bottles of low-level recovery potions, which could instantly restore 100 vitality points, and the value of blood points was 200 points per bottle. One opened several non-combat recovery foods, and it was surprising that there was also an energy bead that could increase energy by 20 points.
King Kong laughed and snatched the bead and said, "This is mine." β
Shen Yi smiled: "Don't worry, there are still boxes in the back that haven't been opened, maybe there will be." β
Opening the chest of the third-level mutant, there are no energy beads, but there is a peculiar smiley mask.
"Mask of Hypocrisy: Reduces the hostility of all life (including non-human life) in all quest worlds, reduces the attack on the wearer**, and has no effect on adventurers. Attacking life in the mission world while wearing the Mask will cause the anger of the life in the mission world, greatly increasing the attack on the wearer**. It cannot be removed within one hour after wearing, and is only valid in one difficulty area, which can be advanced. β
"Huh? This thing is very interesting. Gentleness screamed.
"There is no such thing in the store. King Kong affirmed.
"I don't think it's very useful. Hong Lang pursed his lips: "It's just to reduce hostility, not to let the other party not attack you." In other words, I can't shoot after I wear a mask of hypocrisy, I can only watch my companions get beaten, and when I do, everyone will beat me up again. And if there is no companion...... It's one thing to wear it or not. β
"What kind of good things can you expect from a third-level mutant to give you?" Shen Yi also laughed: "Call Luo Hao over, give him this thing." β
"yes, this guy used it just right. Several people laughed at the same time.
The fat man never dreamed that he would be rewarded with items.
According to the original agreement, Shen Yi and the others have every right not to give him anything.
Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "You have behaved well these two times, although it is limited, but it cannot be erased, so there should be some rewards anyway." This hypocrisy mask can reduce the attack of the plot characters on you**, and I believe that after you wear it, it can weaken your sense of danger and make you feel much better. But I want you to understand one thing, the purpose of this mask is to make you relax a little bit, I don't want you to be in a state of tension all the time, but when it comes to real combat, I still hope you don't use it. Because that means you will always have to be a coward. β
The fat man looked at the mask in his hand in a daze, and nodded: "I know, I swear I will never use it to escape the battle." β
As he spoke, he slowly put the mask on.
After opening the chest of the level 3 mutant, the next thing is Jekenhag's chest.
As soon as he opened the box, King Kong burst out laughing out loud.
There really is an energy bead.
The energy beads dropped by the fourth-level mutants can be blessed with 40 points of energy at one time, plus the previous energy bead that adds 20 points of energy, King Kong suddenly adds 60 points of energy to himself. He originally already had 110 points of energy, but now it became 170 points of energy, and the energy of his ability was almost doubled, and the time and energy recovery speed that he could maintain were greatly increased.
In addition to this energy orb, there is one more thing in the chest.
A turquoise bracelet with a hint of blood.
Cursed Lover's Bracelet: Increases the priority of all skill effects of the wearer by 10 points, increases the chance of triggering special effects by 10%, shortens skill cooldown by 20%, increases weapon damage by 5 points, and comes with special skill: Emerald Wound.
Emerald Wound: After use, it will have a curse effect on adventurers, reducing the trigger rate of adventurer's skill effect by 5%, reducing skill effect by 10%, and reducing skill damage by 20%, lasting 1-3 minutes, the effect is not affected by the adventurer's mutual attack and weakening, and has a lethal effect on the story character, causing half of the damage equivalent to their maximum life force to non-boss characters, causing 10% of the maximum life damage to the boss character and generating 3-9 poison damage per second for a duration of 10-30 seconds, and has a mad effect on minionsto make the minion no longer under the summoner's control for 3-5 minutes. The skill has a cooldown of 1 hour and does not consume mental power. Skill effect priority is 25.
Has a tagging function: Valentine's tag.
Up to 3 lovers can be marked, and each lover will receive a 5-point increase in skill effect priority, a 5% increase in the chance of special effect effects to trigger, a 10% reduction in skill cooldown, and a 3-point increase in weapon damage.
After wearing this bracelet, you will be cursed by the Lover's Bracelet, which reduces the wearer's Constitution by 2, Mental by 3, Will by 5, and increases damage by 20%. When the marked lover is attacked, 30% of the damage is transferred to the wearer, and the transferred damage is not affected by the bonus damage bonus. When the lover dies, the wearer permanently loses half of his constitution.
The Verdant Wound skill can only be used after marking a lover. Mark a lover for a one-hour cooldown for emerald wounds, and mark two lovers for a forty-minute cooldown. Mark three lovers and have a 20-minute cooldown.
Once a lover is marked, it cannot be canceled unless it is dead.
Underneath the lover's bracelet, there is a row of small letters.
The Cursed Lover's Bracelet, a gift from Jaken Haag for the lover he once loved. Jekenhag, who was inhumane all his life, killed his lover with his own hands after witnessing his betrayal. This cursed bracelet henceforth enshrines the spirit of the lover, cursing everyone who wears and uses it.
Wearing requirements: female.
Once the Valentine's Bracelet is worn, it cannot be removed.
I have to say, this is a very headache piece of equipment.
First of all, it must be admitted that this is the best equipment that Shen Yi has ever seen.
What does it mean to increase priority by 10 points? It means that some skills that were previously suppressed can finally be used. Just think about the importance of priority when you think about Gentle being injured by Vina due to her lack of priority in a speeding car fight. There is also the low-level hemostatic bandage used by the adventurer of the North District, with an effect priority of 23. In other words, as long as the priority of the effect of tearing and blood loss is above 23, then the hemostatic bandage is ineffective. For example, Shen Yi's Vampire Touch, the effect priority is up to 30 points, and it is necessary to use a hemostatic bandage above the intermediate level to interrupt the effect.
Therefore, in the bloody city, equipment that can increase the priority has always been sought after by adventurers.
In addition, the chance of special effects being triggered has been increased by 10%, and the cooldown of skills has been shortened, which of these abilities is not a coveted ability. Coupled with the power of the 5 damage bonus and the Emerald Damage skill, this bracelet is definitely a rare gem, even if it is put into the third difficulty, it is definitely enough to show off - if not for such a curse limit.
At this moment, everyone smiled bitterly and looked gentle.
This equipment is restricted to women only, which means that it can only be used by women. However, the original attribute of gentleness was very low, and when I wore this bracelet again, the attribute became even lower.
Shen Yi coughed lightly: "This equipment is good, but the side effects are too obvious, the worst thing is that you can't take it off when you wear it, and it will definitely have an impact on your future equipment change." And if you use it, it means that we all enjoy the benefits, but the curse is borne by one person, not only can you not change your equipment, but you also have to take damage...... My personal opinion is that you just don't use it. β
Gentleness picked up the bracelet and looked at it, and whispered, "It's so beautiful." I guess the former owner of this bracelet must have been beautiful. β
She slowly put the bracelet back on.
The Blood Emblem has a hint: you have been cursed with a Rival's Bracelet and you will not be able to take it off.
Shen Yi frowned: "Why make a decision in such a hurry, isn't it better to think about it clearly?"
"There's no need for that. Gently smiled and replied, "I need to make myself strong as quickly as possible." β
Everyone was stunned.
No one expected that behind the gentle and slender smile, there would be such a resolute heart.
Yes, of the four of them, Gentleness is the weakest one.
Although she has performed well as a newcomer, she can't accept such a result.
Although this lover's bracelet is sinister, the benefits it brings are also very obvious. The gentle combat style is a medium-range attack, and the D-level one-handed whip has the lowest single damage. 5 points of damage may not be in the eyes of others, but the effect of adding it to gentleness is obvious. In addition, after the 5% chance of triggering is increased to 15%, if you face a multi-person attack, you can basically trigger a tear effect every two to three whips, and your combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. In addition, the skill of emerald wound is too perverted, and it will definitely double the gentle combat power immediately.
In this case, it is worth it even at some cost in the eyes of gentleness.
After taking a deep look at the gentleness, Shen Yi said: "When I return this time, I will find you some equipment that will increase your physique and defense, no matter what, I can't put you in danger." β
"Haven't I made a lot of money? I'm afraid other people will have opinions. The gentle smile was like a flower, and Shen Yi's heart rippled slightly.
Hong Lang coughed lightly: "En...... That one...... If you're willing to let me be your lover, I won't mind at all. β
Bang.
An ashtray smashed into Hong Lang's face.
βββββββββββ
Let's talk about the trick again:
1. The more powerful the ability, the later it will appear, that's for sure, after all, the difficulty area is different.
2. If the arrangement is not reasonable enough, either I will modify it or I will give up. The basic dragon set that comes out of the back does not need to be modified, and only needs to be supplemented. There are many previous ones to be modified. If you can modify the post yourself, it's best to modify it yourself.,If you can't, I'll deal with it.γ
3 The spoof type does not fit the atmosphere of the book, and in fact it is difficult for me to imagine a Zhou Xingxing character in such an environment. It's not easy to live a chic life.
4 Dragon Sets will not appear in Part 3. Because when everyone made the trick, I was almost finished writing the third part, so it would only appear one by one after the fourth part.
5 The dragon set must be revised according to the needs of the author and the content of the book, and in this respect must be subordinated to the overall situation. After all, good looks come first.
Finally, thank you for your support and love.
