Chapter 8: Entering the Secret Realm (2-in-1 Chapter)
Six thousand! Good guys, it's going up faster than inflation.
Liu Mo calculated, he only had four thousand yuan in his hand now, and even if he didn't buy anything at first, he couldn't afford to pay the entrance fee.
But if he can't pay the entrance fee, he can't enter the secret realm, and if he doesn't enter the secret realm, where can he find a job that can get 10,000 yuan in one day.
He glanced at the gatekeeper and tried even though he knew that the other party could not be accommodating.
"Big brother to discuss something, you let me in, I'll come out and make up for it. If you think about it, I can't run when I go in, and I'll definitely come back. ”
The gatekeeper sneered: "You really can't run when you go in, but what if you die inside?" I've seen a lot of people like you, and everyone wants to empty their gloves and white wolves. In a word, if you don't have money, you can't get in. ”
Seeing that the other party's attitude was so resolute, Liu Mo had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Liu Mo walked dozens of meters and squatted down on a small dirt slope.
Walking a mile from the gate of the secret realm along the stone road is a commercial area dedicated to serving adventurers in the secret realm, this commercial area was just built decades ago, called Beiyi Commercial Street.
The change of the secret realm a few decades ago not only caused the entrance near Liu Mo's house to change its location, but also caused the other two entrances to disappear.
Therefore, Liu Mo can only enter from here, unless he can find other entrances.
Liu Mo sighed, it is not possible to break through.
Although the gatekeeper is only a one-star card maker, Liu Mo is confident that he can easily break in with hot chili peppers, but this also means going against the official.
For the sake of 6,000 yuan, I can't do it against the official.
Do you still have to go on the road of selling cards?
Liu Mo was struggling, and a middle-aged man wearing loose clothes and a lot of dirt on his body walked over.
The man squatted down, looked at Liu Mo's dress and was stunned for a moment, but still leaned over and said with a lewd face: "Brother, do you want to enter the secret realm?" ”
Liu Mo was happy in his heart, could it be that this person had a way.
But in order not to be taken off, he can't be too eager.
Liu Mo said slowly: "There is such an idea, why, you have a way." ”
The middle-aged man came up: "Brother has a unique vision. ”
He raised his chin towards the gate of the secret realm: "It costs six thousand to enter the secret realm once, this is simply a money grab, many one-star card makers can't get six thousand in a day, not to mention that it's too dangerous inside at night, so you have to quit to rest." ”
Then he changed his words, and his voice became quieter: "We are different, we found a small crack that connects to the secret realm, and it only costs two thousand to enter it at a time." ”
He looked at Liu Mo expectantly: "Brother, do you want to try?" ”
Liu Mo calculated carefully, he now has four thousand in his hand, and there are two thousand left after removing two thousand. As long as he gets a material card worth 8,000 in the secret realm, this is already much better than he expected.
But people are always greedy, and if they can be cheaper, they can be easier.
He tentatively said, "Two thousand, a bit expensive." ”
The man's brows furrowed: "Two thousand is not expensive, the official wants six thousand." Our brothers are going to eat too. ”
Liu Mo said: "It's not easy for anyone these days, you give me cheaper, and I'll look for you next time." ”
The man waved his hand: "How much can you give?" ”
That's it?
Liu Mo was also surprised, and thought that the other party would not let go after grinding for a while.
He didn't have much experience in bargaining, thinking that it was always right to cut half of the bargain, so he pondered and said, "A thousand? ”
"Deal!" The other party seemed to be afraid that Liu Mo would run away, so he hurriedly agreed, "Give me the money, and I'll take you to the entrance." ”
So easy?
Liu Mo felt that he was cheap, and it was not good that things were going well, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Engaging in smuggling business is risky, and the fee should be high. Although his price cannot exceed six thousand, a large number of people rush to charge five thousand.
The matter has come to this point, and he can't afford to regret it, so he keeps an eye on it and takes out a thousand yuan and hands it to the other party.
The other party put away the money, didn't count it, stuffed it directly into his pocket, and said, "Follow me." "Take the lead.
The zombie secret realm is in the north of Jinyang County, and the other party has to lead Liu Mo to the north.
Liu Mo stepped forward to talk to the other party: "What do you call the eldest brother?" ”
The other party said: "My name is Wu Liangxin, you can call me Lao Wu." ”
"Lao Wu, I bargained just now, and you promised so neatly that it made me itch in my heart," Liu Mo showed a curious look, "Anyway, I gave you all the money, and I won't regret it, you tell me what your reserve price is!" ”
Wu Liangxin snorted twice: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, in fact, the reserve price given to us by the manager is five hundred per person!" ”
Wrong!
Perhaps the seeds of doubt were born in his heart, the more Liu Mo looked at it, the more he felt that it was wrong, how could anyone who was doing business easily leak the reserve price, let alone in front of the guests who had just completed the transaction.
He continued: "What about you and the manager? ”
Perhaps scratched Lao Wu's itch, he talked boastfully: "Don't look at how well I dress, in fact, we are employees of Jinyang Industrial Card Making." ”
Liu Mo smacked his tongue, how could it be this haunting company again.
He asked, "What about such a big company!" But how could such a company still do such a thing? ”
Liu Mo was talking about their organization of smuggling.
Wu Liangxin looked like a big brother and said: "You can't think like that, in fact, the bigger the company, the more dirty things they do in secret, otherwise how will they develop." ”
Liu Mo pretended to agree: "You have a point. ”
In this way, the two walked for several miles, and finally came to their destination.
It was a small mound where four or five big men sat in the sun and played cards.
Wu Liangxin walked forward quickly and said to the tallest-growing man: "Big brother, I've found someone again." ”
The eldest brother patted Lao Wu's head heavily: "I have all said to call me manager, we followed Boss Wang to set up a company, and we can no longer use the old name." ”
"Yes, yes, manager."
The eldest brother's words were hugely informative, and Liu Mo guessed that this group of people turned out to be gangsters, and they were only recently whitewashed. No, it can't be said that it is whitewashed, and what they are doing now is not clean. Even the predecessor of the entire Jinyang Industrial Card Company is a gang.
The eldest brother didn't care about Wu Liangxin, looked at Liu Mo seriously for a while, and said, "What do you call my brother?" ”
Liu Mo was wary of the other party, so naturally he wouldn't tell him his real name.
Liu Mo was now dressed in a black robe, and said in his heart: "My name is Xiao Yan. ”
He is a name waste, it is better to borrow someone else's name directly.
The eldest brother said: "Brother Xiao, the entrance is on the back of the hill, the secret realm is not safe at night, come out as soon as possible." ”
Liu Mo bowed: "Thank you!" ”
Lao Wu led Liu Mo to the back of the hill, where a one-meter-deep passage had been dug out, and the entrance to the secret realm that shone with colorful light was at the end of the passage.
This entrance is much smaller than the official one, and can only accommodate one person passing sideways.
The entrance is in such a hidden place, no wonder the official did not find it. Liu Mo pondered. I don't know how the company found it.
Lao Wu waited at the door of the passage, and Liu Mo walked in alone and stood in front of the entrance.
He covered it up with his cloak and reached out to take out the Pea Shooter card and threw it on the ground. The pea shooter drilled out and slowly shook his head.
Liu Mo pressed the pea shooter's head through the entrance, and at the same time, the spiritual power was attached to the card, and then the pea shooter's eyes looked inside.
Fortunately, it is a real secret place inside.
Liu Mo laughed at himself, whether he was too cautious.
Seeing that Liu Mo didn't move, Lao Wu asked curiously, "What are you doing?" ”
Liu Mo replied: "It's nothing. ”
Then a dodge walked in.
Wu Liangxin waited for a while, then turned around and walked to the eldest brother: "He went in." ”
The eldest brother scolded and scolded: "Who are you looking for today, cover it tightly, what if you provoke someone you shouldn't mess with?" ”
Wu Liangxin shouted wronged: "There are few people at the official entrance of the secret realm, and it is not easy to find someone." ”
"Don't make excuses!" The eldest brother shouted.
Wu Liangxin shut up.
A little brother next to him asked, "Then can this person do it?" ”
The eldest brother smiled: "Of course you have to do it." ”
He pointed to his ears: "My ears are the most spiritual, and I can hear that his voice is very tender, and he is only a teenager." Combined with the fact that he can't even take out 6,000 yuan, he is definitely not a big man, at our mercy. ”
The younger brother said, "What if he dies inside?" ”
The eldest brother didn't think about this sentence at all, and fell silent for a while.
"Damn," the eldest brother kicked Lao Wu, "you are guarding the entrance, waiting for him to come out, if he doesn't come out, you will keep waiting." ”
Wu Liangxin cried and sat down at the entrance of the passage.
……
Liu Mo walked into the secret realm and appeared in a big pit.
Liu Mo turned his head, and the glittering crack entrance was embedded in the stone wall of the ravine.
This big pit is very shallow, so Liu Mo can easily climb out.
Liu Mo climbed on it with his hands and feet, not caring about whether he would stain his clothes.
The Golden Yang Zombie Secret Realm is a secret realm dominated by various stones, with peaks, valleys, cliffs, and basins scattered throughout the secret realm.
Different zombies are distributed in different terrains as a group.
Liu Mo held the map in his hand and compared his position.
He had bought the map in the business district, and the cloak and mask alone would not cost a thousand dollars.
Most of the 1,000 dollars were spent on this map.
The map is produced by the Card Makers Association, and it is inspected every month to prevent zombie colonies or terrain changes.
Soon, Liu Mo knew his location.
I'm in the northern 3rd district of the outer part of the Secret Republic. Liu Mo thought.
The zombie community division of the secret realm has a certain pattern, basically in the order of ascending from east to west.
Therefore, people divide the secret realm into the outer area, the central area and the inner area, of which the outer area has the lowest zombie level, and a one-star card maker like Liu Mo can also enter.
But the central area is not something that Liu Mo can set foot in, let alone the internal area.
The outer area is divided into ten sub-areas according to the terrain and location.
Liu Mo has a clear goal this time, first go to the North Fourth District to fight zombies, and explode a few zombie material cards. Then make the material card into a balloon zombie in Plants vs. Zombies.
The Balloon Zombie has the ability to levitate in the air, and Liu Mo can make the Balloon Zombie fly with him.
The outer area is full of low-level zombies, none of which can fly.
Therefore, Liu Mo, who has the ability to fly, can be said to be invincible.
Liu Mo put away the map, didn't think about it anymore, and walked quickly in one direction.
Liu Mo did not walk in a straight line, but went around and around, not only because of the terrain, but also because of safety factors.
You never know if there's a hungry zombie hidden beneath the rocks next to you, in the shadows.
Therefore, Liu Mo specially chose a place where there was open space within ten meters to walk, and would rather take a long detour than risk his life.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Mo was sweating slightly, and finally arrived at his destination.
The warm winter sun shines on the flat land, and the breeze blows lightly, stirring the withered weeds on the side of the stones, filling it with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
If it was a past life, it was a great place to relax and unwind, but in fact there were endless dangers hidden here.
Liu Mo walked cautiously and tiptoeing on this land, and the roar of zombies was heard in the distance, and he didn't know how many zombies were lying at his feet.
It can be exposed to direct sunlight during the day, and zombies don't like to move, so they bury themselves in the soil to hide from the sun's heat.
Liu Mo was lightly looking for his target, and suddenly found a round black shadow under the stone in front of him.
Liu Mo stepped forward with suppressed excitement, only to find that it was just a lump of yellow-brown weeds swaying in the wind.
Zombies are not like people, and not every zombie buries themselves. Zombies often leak a head outside, and of course the head of this zombie is usually hidden under a rock.
This is Liu Mo's goal.
Sleeping zombies are the best to deal with.
However, time passed little by little, and Liu Mo still did not find this zombie.
He wondered, "Could it be that zombies have evolved and will bury themselves." ”
If he can't find a zombie that meets the criteria, he can only risk digging up a zombie.
Liu Mo felt tired from looking for a long time, stood up straight and stretched, and took a few steps back without standing firmly.
"Looks like I've kicked something." Liu Mo had some bad premonitions.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly ran a few steps forward, and when he looked back, he saw a gray-black hairless zombie head leaning against a large rock.
And he wasn't kicked awake by Liu Mo.
Liu Mo looked at the zombie with great joy, it can be regarded as having found it, it is so lucky!
The zombie is very secretive, its head blending with the shadow of the stone.
He stepped forward and squatted on the ground, and suddenly a faint fishy smell mixed with the stench came, making him cover his nose.
The smell is too bad.
Liu Mo activated the Pea Shooter and the Ice Shooter, making them stand on either side of the zombies, one left and one right.
He picks up a sharp, twice the size of a zombie's head, and points it at the zombie.
The poor zombie doesn't know what he's going to endure yet.
After the preparation was completed, Liu Mo roared in his heart: start!
In an instant, the Pea Shooter and the Ice Shooter attack at the same time.
Because the Pea Shooter is relatively close, his attacks are the first to work.
A green pea slams into the zombie's skull, causing his skull to sink a lump.
He woke up suddenly, the anger mixed with the pain of being woken up greatly increased his anger when he got up, and he wanted to yell to express his anger.
But he didn't have that chance, and the Ice Shooter's attack followed, not only denting his skull again, but also slowing him down.
Next is Liu Mo's stone attack.
"Smack-"
The stone slammed into the zombie's head, and the sharp part was inserted into the zombie's brain, and a strong stench spread.
Liu Mo avoided it in disgust.
The corpse of the zombie slowly blurs and disappears, and a white card flies out of the zombie's body.
Liu Mo caught the card and sighed: "This can be regarded as a peace in the ground." ”
Suddenly, there was a fishy smell behind Liu Mo, accompanied by a low roar.
What pounced?
It's a zombie!
A sense of crisis swept through his brain, stimulated his potential, adrenaline was secreted, and the speed of his brain soared to an unprecedented rate.
But Liu Mo felt that his brain was split into two halves, and the half kept saying, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way!"
The other half was like a fool: "Where to hide?" Left or right? Which leg exerts force? Should you swing your arms along? ”
