Chapter 70: Trouble
When she woke up, Gentle found herself lying in Shen Yi's arms, and there was Ivy standing next to her. They were still in the church, and the sound of killing outside was still there, indicating that she had not been in a coma for long.
The raging power in her body had now dormant again, and she was back to normal.
She blurted out, "Did I die once?"
Ivy smiled, "You're not dead, in fact Shalina's final attack didn't cause any damage to you." ”
Gentle pause: "How is this possible?"
"Then you'll have to ask yourself. Shen Yi said coldly: "How long do you want to hide it from me?"
Gentleness's heart jumped, looking at Shen Yi's stern and reproachful eyes, she realized something, and lowered her head slightly: "Then you know everything." ”
"It's not too much, if I had known that it was so serious, I would never have let you participate in this battle!"
"That's why I'm reluctant to tell you. ”
"Why do you insist so much?"
"Because that's my right and my obligation!"
Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled, gently kissed Shen Yi on the lips, and then said, "Shen Yi, I know what you think." Maybe for you, even if I am too injured to move, you are willing to take care of me all the time and complete all the tasks that belong to me for me...... That is, to raise me, are you willing to do that?"
"Yes. ”
"But I don't want to. I am your woman, but not the woman who feeds on you. ”
"You don't have to ......"
"Very necessary!" gently interrupted Shen Yi: "Remember what I said to you when you came back from the wilderness?"
"Which one?"
"I said if you dare to find another woman, I will castrate you. ”
"Yes, so what?"
Gentle and straight: "I'm serious, Shen Yi." I know what I'm doing! Since I was a child, my parents taught me that equality between men and women is a lie, and that the premise of equality is independence, and equality without independence is charity!"
She looked at Shen Yi and pointed at herself: "This sentence is deeply in my mind, making me know that if I want to fight for something, I have to pay something first! I look down on women who shout about equality between men and women, and at the same time shout that women should be raised by men." If you want to be raised by a man, you have to be psychologically prepared for a man to have a little wife. ”
Shen Yi was stunned: "Are you saying that you are hiding my bloodline and being injured, fighting desperately, and pursuing the ultimate goal of equality and independence in status, just to prevent me from having the opportunity to find another woman?"
Gentle sneered: "Yes, it's not allowed! It's a ridiculous reason, right? But it's true! This is a woman, the reason doesn't matter, the important thing is ...... here."
She pointed to her heart.
Shen Yi was completely stunned.
Not far away, Ivy coughed softly, and the cajoling of King Kong Honglang and others could be heard in the channel, interspersed with fierce battle sounds and shouts.
The shock brought by the gentle words was so strong that Shen Yi had a feeling of unbearable weight in his life for a while, and everything around him seemed to become distant.
wanted to say something, but gently pressed Shen Yi's lips: "The battle is not over yet, let's talk about it when the fight is over." ”
She got up and walked out of Shen Yi's embrace, thought about it and suddenly stopped: "The power of my bloodline skill has been weakened by about half, I originally wanted to find a suitable time to tell you again, it's not too late to say now, right?"
She said as she walked out of the church.
Ai Wei walked up to Shen Yi and whispered, "She's a good woman, don't let her down, Brother Shen Yi." ”
Shen Yi stood up and straightened his collar: "Can you help me find my robot? ”
Ivy: "......"
Outside the church, the roar of Vulcan cannons rang out again, and bullets harvested the lives of monsters like wheat grains.
As the fog of war has vanished, the skies over Kurast have been covered in the smoke of war, and blood has stained every street here and gathered into a river.
Rooftops, streets, bridges, and all corners of the city can be seen everywhere the figure of adventurers beating, they rush wantonly, using all complex environments to ambush, flank, attack and kill targets.
The rain of bullets and bullets is mixed with the light of swords and swords, writing a war scene unique to a magical world.
Among them, there is a super performance of individual force, and there is also a concentrated display of collective strength.
When Shalina's death hint reached the ears of the adventurers through the blood coat of arms, the adventurers' moods boiled.
Confidence is the source of strength and the best stimulant, which can turn the weak into brave and the brave into invincible.
Everyone fought more bravely and more excitedly, from the initial unfamiliarity with the terrain, to the later battle with the help of the terrain, the adventurers finally got rid of the most difficult resistance period in the first stage.
After Shalina's death, the battle entered a stalemate.
In the forty-third minute of the battle, the third boss of the Devil Corps, Wings of the Split Wind, was killed by Zong Tang, and the battle entered the counterattack stage.
Frost led the summoned soldiers to rush out of the bunker, and with the help of King Kong, Luo Hao, Zhou Yiyu, Luo Sheng and the Chang family brothers, they began to clean up street by street in an organized manner.
In the seventy-second minute of the battle, 1,500 monsters of the Devil's Legion were slaughtered.
The Blood Emblem has a hint:
"The Kurast clearance mission is complete. ”
"Oh roar!" all the adventurers shouted excitedly.
This was the result of more than an hour of hard fighting, at the cost of three adventurers and forty-seven summoned soldiers.
This is also the first time that they have truly faced a task beyond their own strength and won after entering the third difficulty. The previous Skinning Jungle quest was not much more difficult than the Durrell quest in nature.
However, for Shen Yi, this battle did not bring him any sense of achievement.
Three adventurers were killed in this battle, and the next task to be faced by Cui Vank has been increased to 3,000 points.
Walking through the streets of Curast and looking at the corpses that strewn across the streets, Shen Yi muttered four words in his mouth: "This is ...... He is long. ”
――――――――――――
After the battle, it is the distribution of benefits, and this has become the rule.
When people were on earth, they competed for fame and fortune, and when they came to the bloody city, fame was no longer important, but profit rose to the point where their lives were at stake.
The scattered adventurers regrouped together, telling each other about the hard battle just now, and at the same time looking forward to the benefits that were about to come, despite the death of three people, most of the remaining adventurers were still in a happy mood, except for the South China Sea team.
Ambella's face was gloomy - she had lost one of her teammates.
At that time, Hong Lang came over and patted her on the shoulder: "The dead are gone, and the living have to continue to fight." Don't be too sad, no one knows when we'll go down to see old friends. Too sad to do yourself any good...... The auction is about to start, and distraction affecting the bidding will only make you lose money and increase the chances of the living dying in battle. ”
Ambella looked at the flood wave in surprise: "You ......"
Hong Lang winked at Ambella: "Isn't it strange that I suddenly became so philosophical?"
"Bullshit, that's what you deserve to call philosophy?" Ambella pursed her lips, and then changed her tone: "But it still feels a little different when it comes out of your mouth." ”
Hong Lang laughed: "No matter how rough a person is, he also has a thin side, don't underestimate people." ”
Laughing and leaving, Ambella looked at his back, stunned for a moment.
Thinking about it, he was right, and a smile bloomed on his face, and his mood was much better.
As the adventurers continue to gather, the auction is finally about to begin.
This time the Kurast mission obtained a total of five chests, of which the battlefield virgin Shalina was killed three times, Shen Yi killed the enemy twice, and Ivy killed the enemy once, of course, this time Shen Yi didn't have to distribute the points to everyone. In addition, there are two bosses that each drop a D-rank weapon.
In the five boxes, in addition to the five B-rank weapon scrolls, there is a vampire vine seed in the box of the Storm Tree, which is the kind of demon vine used by the gardener at the beginning, once planted successfully, it can grow into a vampire demon vine, but the planting process is extremely complicated, and the slightest carelessness will fail to plant.
The three chests on the battlefield are the Inverted Whirlwind Leg Skill Scroll, the Three Rune Stones, and the Tornado Whirlwind Foot Skill Scroll.
In the Wings of the Wind crate is the Wings of the Icewind.
Wings of Ice Wind: Can be implanted in the body, giving it the ability to fly freely in the atmosphere, and when it spreads its wings, it deals damage from both the elements of Ice and Wind. When flying with Wings of the Ice Wind, the weight must not exceed forty kilograms.
This pair of Ice Wind Wings is arguably the best additional equipment adventurers have ever seen, not only does it have the ability to fly freely, but it also comes with elemental damage, but the restriction that its own weight cannot exceed forty kilograms is really unacceptable.
Of the 34 adventurers, none of them weighed less than forty kilograms, and in fact even if they did, they were useless. You must know that in addition to your own weight, you should also consider the weight of weapons and equipment. Like a blade of power, weighing more than forty kilograms, no one wants to fly freely with it.
This makes it end up being worth a lot of money.
Before the auction officially began, one thing was first determined: the proceeds due to the dead adventurers would be redistributed by the living according to the proportion of their contributions.
This was originally a very common thing, after all, the dead have no profit to speak of, but the consequences of this incident began to make Zong Tang and Ambella uneasy.
The competition for the rewards among the adventurers is noticeably fierce.
When the bidding for the first B-rank weapon promotion scroll began, a casual adventurer directly called out the price of 8,000 points, which startled Ambella and Zong Tang a lot.
Is this guy crazy? He's charging such a high price?
You must know that a B-rank weapon promotion scroll is nothing more than raising a double C-level weapon to B-level, which is the maximum price of 9,000 points. The other party directly used 8,000 points to buy, and there was almost no benefit at all, and at the same time, as a loose person, it also meant that he had no follow-up power.
Not only that, but this person doesn't have that much money in his hands at all now, that is, he is in debt to spend!
Scarface then called out the price of nine thousand points, which was already the limit price of this scroll, which shocked everyone.
When the first B-rank weapon ascension scroll was bought, the second one was called out for 8,000 points again, and then Huang Tianyang called out for 9,000 points.
Such a fierce bidding made An Zong's scalps tingle.
"Some people are in a hurry, afraid that they will not get any benefits after they die, and they would rather get the benefits first if they are in debt. Zong Tang realized the origin of this change, clenched his fists and said.
True, the death of three adventurers brings excitement to everyone who is alive. Rather than giving the reward to others, your strength will not grow, and you will die in battle, it is better to fight for the debt to win the benefits and improve your own strength, even if you die, it is much better to die owing money to others than to die by being owed money.
It's this mindset that makes bidding intense.
Ambella was a little overwhelmed: "We can't let this trend spread, because in this case, everyone will be unscrupulous and ask for money." ”
The reason why the two teams want to buy the rewards as much as possible is that they are worried that this will happen. If someone dies in the team, the living can inherit his interests, and there will be no less. If the scattered people die, then there is really nothing.
She stood up: "Let's go, go talk to Shen Yi." This must be stopped!"
At this moment, she thought of Shen Yi first.
Shen Yi was sitting leisurely on a boulder, looking at the noisy scene with a calm demeanor. The bidding on the field was still fierce, but he drank leisurely, with no intention of participating, and no anxious look.
When Ambella and Zong Tang came over, he even raised his wine glass to the two of them and made a gesture to persuade them to drink.
Then he smiled and said, "I know what you are here for, don't worry, this is already their limit." ”
Ambella said, "How do you know?"
Shen Yi replied leisurely: "Because everyone wants to live." ”
Ambella and Zong Tang were stunned at the same time, and then understood.
The risk-takers' price increase was stimulated by the death of someone in battle, so they were willing to be in debt rather than be in debt, but this does not mean that everyone was willing to die.
If they owe too much and the points they get later cannot repay the debt, then when they leave the mission world for bloody point liquidation, in case of insufficient funds will lead to the erasure of fate, everyone will find their own death.
No one is a fool, and some people may not think about the longer term, but at least they can calculate the immediate benefits. Therefore, there is still a considerable degree of restraint in their price raising behavior.
But in this way, the price was still raised by them. Ambella was dissatisfied.
Shen Yi replied leisurely: "You can't always expect to buy good things at a low price. When it's time to fight, you still have to fight. Speaking of which, we are a team force, can't the team compete with the individual? They can be in debt, can't you?"
There is one sentence he didn't say, the reason why adventurers dare to raise prices is also related to his past experience - under his conscious dissemination, more and more people are knowing Shen Yi's past lending experience.
An Zong and the two looked at each other, and then they suddenly realized that the blood spot in their hands was not as sufficient as they had anticipated. If they continue to fight like this, they will not have any qualifications to compete with Shen Yi in the later tasks, and Shen Yi suggested that they buy with debt, which is obviously ill-intentioned. However, giving up the B-rank weapon scroll that could improve their strength like this would inevitably make them feel heartache.
Do you keep a certain amount of bloodiness to compete with Shen Yi in the later stage, or do you win the immediate benefits first?
Both of them hesitated.
At this time, the third weapon scroll began to be auctioned.
Ambella gritted her teeth and shouted, "Nine thousand points!"
―――――――――
The fierce bidding ended up an hour later.
The Wind Forest team auctioned two B-grade scrolls for 18,000 points, and the Nanhai team won one for 9,000 points, all of which were extreme prices. In this context where you can't make a cheap profit is a loss, both teams can be said to have suffered a loss.
The Broken Blades have given up on the Weapon Enhancement Scroll altogether - they don't need the Scroll with the Heradic Cube.
The Inverted Whirlwind Leg Scroll was bought by the Chang brothers, but they didn't learn it themselves, and apparently planned to sell it when they returned to the city. The tornado whirlwind leg, a double C-level skill scroll, was also won by the Wind Forest team with 18,000 points. Zong Tang completed a bounty task, and his confidence increased greatly. What's more, Shen Yi is right, it is better to owe money than to be owed, he is not to the point of being in debt now, and he can continue to work hard.
Both Ambella and Zong Tang were ready to overdraft their future earnings, and they knew that they would not be able to compete with Shen Yi in future auctions, so they simply tried their best to seek immediate benefits. The previous orders, plans, gradually disappeared before the development of events, and they were ineffective - Ambella officially informed Ah Mei that she canceled the idea of competing for the C-level skill scroll, and Zong Tang also made the same notice.
Shen Yibing bloodlessly dismantled the plot of the two teams.
As for the rune stone or Shen Yi to take it, everyone knew that Shen Yi intended to combine the words of the rune, and they had no intention of embarrassing him. Because no one could plant the vampire vine seeds, they were easily photographed by Shen Yi at a price of two thousand points, and then the Wings of the Ice Wind was also taken by Shen Yi at a price of only two thousand points because no one could use them. He took pictures of three things in one go, the total value was only 7,000 points, which was not as valuable as a B-rank weapon scroll, but once any of them was used well, they were all extremely valuable.
As he slapped the Wings of the Ice Wind, everyone looked at him, wondering what he wanted for it. Unexpectedly, Shen Yi took the Ice Wind Wings and nodded to Gentleness, who had already taken out the well-behaved shadow beast.
Shen Yi casually planted the Wings of the Ice Wind into the body of the Shadow Beast, and there was a crackling sound behind this little thing, giving birth to a pair of ice-colored wings, and immediately spread its wings and soared, dancing in circles of air ripples in the sky with its unique high speed, emitting a cheerful hiss.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
Shadow Beasts were originally summoned beasts that moved at high speeds, but now that they have these wings, they are even more powerful.
Zong Tang couldn't help but scold: "Damn, why didn't I think this thing could be used by pets." ”
Ambella looked at him sympathetically, "Your flame horse can't use this, can you?"
"I can find another one that weighs less. ”
"It's a pity you're late. There are many things that are not in themselves whether we can think of them, but whether we can think of them in the first place...... Opportunity waits for no one. Ambella sighed with a hint of schadenfreude.
Since Zeus was unable to play a role in street fighting, all allocations were calculated based on urban contributions, and the auxiliary adventurers could only consider themselves unlucky. However, even if calculated in terms of the city's contribution ratio, the Broken Blades received a 31% contribution evaluation. Therefore, although Broken Blade took three shots, in terms of the proportion of sharing, the blood points gained were still greater than their efforts.
After everything was over, Shen Yi proposed to take a day off. The battle was too difficult and dangerous, and most of the people were tired, not necessarily physically, but more mentally.
The adventurers gathered together, walked freely, talked to each other, and as they fought side by side, everyone's feelings gradually deepened, and the former vigilance was relatively weakened. Some people have established good friendships with each other, so they meet up to find a place to drink. As a city, there is no shortage of dilapidated taverns, but unfortunately there is no wine, but it doesn't matter, most adventurers bring their own.
So everyone made an appointment on the place and time of the reunion and dispersed. Zhou Yiyu pestered Ai Wei as usual, the Dragon Tooth team and Scarface came together, King Kong and the fat man, Luo Sheng and the Chang brothers went to the tavern, originally wanted to pull Hong Lang away, but he didn't expect to kill Ambella halfway, put his arm on Hong Lang's shoulder and said, "Are you interested in having a drink with me?"
Everyone was surprised, when did Hong Lang catch up with this woman? Hong Lang wanted to be with his brothers, but everyone coaxed together, and pushed Hong Lang to Ambera's side and walked away by himself.
Hong Lang could only stare at Ambella: "Why are you looking for me to drink?"
Ambella smiled: "I want to thank you for accompanying me to save my teammates." ”
"I didn't get out again, what is there to be thankful for. Hong Lang replied incomprehensibly, this rude man is willing to spend money on women, but he doesn't know how to take advantage of the opportunity to send it to the door.
"Anyway, you did your best, and thank you. ”
Hong Lang was a little hesitant, looking at his reluctant appearance, Ambella kicked him angrily: "No one forces you, if you don't want to, forget it." ”
She turned around and left, but Hong Lang was much more relieved: "Hey, just drink with you." ”
"That's pretty much it. Ambella laughed, "Be careful, I've got a good amount of alcohol." ”
"Cut, will Lao Tzu be afraid of you as a woman?"
From afar, Zhou Yiyu and a group of people shouted in unison: "Come on, Langqiu, that mother-in-law!"
This was a pun, and finally Hong Lang heard it, he returned them with a middle finger, and a group of people laughed and ran away.
No one noticed that long before this, Shen Yi had quietly walked away with gentleness.
They walked all the way to the outside of Curast and came to a grove.
Gently caressed Shen Yi's face: "You really decided to ask her for help?"
Shen Yi smiled: "You have to try." ”
He took a long breath.
Ability communication activated!
