Chapter 11: The Wonderful Wall of Formations
Shangguan Mou could have reminded Liu Liang of sending him home, but he was afraid that Liu Liang would remember those two backpacks, after all, they were able to stack 64 items of the same kind in one grid, and had 8 storage artifacts, this kind of thing rich in mysterious intellectual property rights, how could the other party let him take it back for study.
The chief mou lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally made a brilliant decision, taking advantage of the dawn tomorrow, he secretly ran out of Liu Liang's house with his backpack.
The combat effectiveness of ordinary monsters in this secret realm is still quite average, and with his martial arts, he should be able to support until he finds the exit of the secret realm, and he has to prepare a few torches before leaving.
But the fire can't make him, this is when Shangguan Mou is most skeptical about his hands-on ability, why can a torch made of a wooden stick and a piece of coal burn, why can't he do it himself? Why do we have to have grease and pine to make torches? Is this the difference between the worldly superior and the mediocre?
He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't need to dig into it, he just asked Liu Liang for a few torches and pickaxes, lied to him that he was going to mine for his seniors, and then took the opportunity to slip away.
Liu Liang is preparing to make double-barreled shotgun bullets, this kind of bullet is called medicine roll bullet, which requires black powder, parchment and iron-lead projectiles, black powder and iron-lead projectiles are easy to do. Gunpowder only needs to be synthesized with sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter on an alchemy table, and iron-lead projectiles need to be synthesized with iron ingots and lead ingots on iron felt.
But parchment is a complete overstep, and it needs to be crafted from parchment and plant fibers and salt. But where is the sheep creature? He wandered in the forest for a long time without seeing a single sheep, so why could he only have parchment and not wolfskin? Isn't that embarrassing?
He made the game himself, and he set the sheep spawn condition for the random map that there must be more than four blocks of green grass nearby.
It's not that you can't see sheep, where does the meadow come from in the forest?
Do you want to explore again to make bullets for guns? It's a bit too strenuous. However, Liu Liang is very good at thinking backwards, since the generation of sheep needs grass, then we only need to make a piece of grass to come out.
The forest is full of grass, but it is covered by low trees, low shrubs and trees. He just cut down the trees on one of the forest floors, cleared the trees, cut off the shrubs, and turned it into grass.
This idea is indeed Qingqi, and it is exactly the same as the bug he designed, but what is even more amazing is that this method actually succeeds. Less than a few minutes after he had cleared the ground of the knee-high plants, a crisp bleating sound sounded out of nowhere. A snow-white sheep ran out of the fog and lowered its head to graze on the grass he had made.
Liu Liang was very happy, so he directly killed the sheep with a knife and obtained mutton, wool and sheepskin.
He made 6 pieces of parchment paper out of sheepskin, plant fibers, and salt, and combined them with 6 iron and lead projectiles and 6 parts of black powder to make 30 bullets.
Thirty bullets, a gun, and two days of gathering resources and crafting items, using a total of six types of infrastructure, including a workbench, a furnace, an iron felt, a steam engine, an industrial workbench, and an alchemy table, and using up more than a dozen sets of ore and wood to make such a thing.
The 30 bullets were fired with full firepower from a double-barreled shotgun, and they were shot out in less than three minutes. After two days of hard work, just to cool these three minutes?
This is not the most heart-wrenching, the durability of this shotgun is 20 points, and the calculation formula for writing the code is to multiply the durability by 2, and then multiply by 2 barrels, which means that as long as the gun fires 80 shots, it will be completely scrapped.
That's how most survival building games on the market extend the game time, and Liu Liang himself doesn't think it's a problem, but when it's an immersive experience, it's too bad.
Of course, crafting items is a fun part of the game, but when Liu Liang goes to the wilderness to mine, he always has to face the threat of mental pollution from the Cthulhu monsters. And the ordinary monster in this forest is ridiculously strong, if it weren't for the bug, I'm afraid he would have died countless times.
The next routine of this game is to upgrade and make more building facilities, which are used to make more and better guns, and the materials of these things need to be obtained by going out to mine, and you must bring guns to protect yourself when you go out, mining is to make better guns, and players consume time in this cycle.
Liu Liang knows too well what his game is, he prepared tens of thousands of hours of game time for players at the beginning of the design, and older players are estimated to not see the end in their lives. The key is that this game does not rely on the plot to support the duration but on the difficulty, just like writing a novel without adding a plot and only relying on details and daily water word count. Now in the forest under his feet, he can't get out without three months of hard work.
He decided to go out to mine tomorrow and try to get the steam forging press and gas extractor, but these two devices could not upgrade the weapon.
More advanced bolt-pull rifles require steam-mechanical machine tools and weapon assembly stations, but more advanced equipment requires more advanced metal ingots.
Steel ingots require iron and manganese ingots to be crafted in a blast furnace, but manganese is not found in the ore forest, and will not appear until the next stage of the map's karst landscape. So this is another bug in the game setting.
Because it seems that since "Secret Realm" was sold online on the game website, only one tentacle monster game anchor with a level 9 hand speed has successfully killed out of the forest with a double-barreled shotgun, and everyone else has returned, and this game anchor has also deleted the game offline.
Who can imagine Liu Liang's bad mood at the moment, after all, I still need to bear the sins I have created.
Just when he was in the worst mood, Shangguan Mou walked into his workshop, and said with a smile on his face: "Senior, I heard that you have run out of materials, so the junior has decided to go mining instead of you tomorrow, well, can you rub a few torches and stone pickaxes for me, because the mine is far away from home." ”
Liu Liang didn't know Shangguan Mou's plan to escape, but he would definitely not let him run out alone, he shook his head and said: "The spirit is commendable, but I will go mining with you tomorrow, and the two of them will also take care of them on the road." ”
Shangguan Mou was immediately discouraged, how can I escape when I go out with you? Thinking that I am a dignified generation of Lingyunmen gang leaders, can I just let you, a strange Shu senior, be imprisoned in the forest for the rest of your life, and be your slave to dig coal and mine for you?
He had to confess: "Senior, when I was in the forest, you promised me that as long as I found your camp, you would send me back to the exit of the secret realm." ”
"Who said I wouldn't send you back? After a while, I'll fix the house, build all the machines, and send you back. ”
"Yes, Senpai." Shangguan Mou left unhappy.
Liu Liang looked at his back thoughtfully, and suddenly found a way to solve the game setting bug that was difficult to open up in the early stage. Isn't there a fog pillar dimensional entrance in the forest that leads to the martial arts plane? No matter how bad it is, there should be tens of millions of martial arts populations.
The forest of martial arts is big, there should be a lot of martial arts scum, we should attract them into the Cthulhu game plane to open up the wasteland like attracting talents, find a way to let them mine for me, build a railway to the outside world in the forest, and even let them build me a war fortress to defend against Cthulhu.
Of course, this game is so dangerous, it is always inevitable to go crazy with death, injury, and the only problem is to prevent the people who come in from escaping. Because as long as a scum runs out, he will unveil the mystery of this world to the people of the martial arts plane, telling them that this is a pig-killing plate scam, and then the martial arts people of the entire plane will unite to treat him as a public enemy, and will find a way to seal and block the entrance to this dimension.
Although it is a bit unauthentic to lure smugglers into the country with false propaganda, it is even a bit too criminal. But it's a game after all, so it's good to treat them all as NPCs.
Night soon fell, Liu Liang made a ladder with sticks and ropes, climbed to the roof of the house to observe his newly completed wall, in order to increase the safety factor, he did not even make a gate, just cut off a wall when he went out, and put it up again when he returned.
Red dots lit up in the fog in the distance, and one by one, the pitch-black Daredevils appeared, smelling the scent of humans, and walking towards the camp walls. Among these monsters was a fat creature that looked like a jelly of carrion, its mouthparts were like a cascading disc, and countless teeth were wrapped around it, like a shield machine made of meat, and when its arms were raised, its arms and armpits pulled out strips of flesh like apples, making it look more like a walking fluid.
Liu Liang glanced at its attributes from a distance:
【Ghouls】
Health: 500
Attack: 120
It has a strong destructive effect on buildings.
Shangguan Gang Leader just poked his head out of the door of the house to take a look, then fell to the ground in fright, and hurriedly retreated.
According to the Cthulhu Mythos, the appearance of monsters is just a mental projection of them under human observation, and the real them may exist in a higher dimensional world.
Liu Liang's eyes were half-closed, and the SAN value began to fall down again, but fortunately, the necklace around his neck was working, which made him quickly stabilize his mind.
The Daredevil swung their tentacles and claws to attack the cross-section of the wall, as if they had encountered a wall of air, no matter how they attacked, they could not destroy the durability, and the monster that looked like a flesh shield machine was also hindered in front of the vertical wall, and no matter how the teeth on the disc turned, it could not shake the bug wall.
Liu Liang could rest assured now, he went back to the room and decided to sleep next to the incinerator, although sleeping in his game was only a superfluous option, but at the moment he just wanted to close his eyes and enjoy a moment of peace.
At dawn, the monsters retreated, returning to the thick mist.
