406 Lava Behemoth
"What kind of fierce method?" The boss showed half of his face from the shadows, and the heroic willow eyebrows were raised, and he was a little interested.
"Actually, it's not ......too fierce," Wang Wenbo looked indifferent.
There are a lot of those macho men in Gray Iron City after surgical transformation, and watching the expressiveness of muscular hunks all day long has made him desensitized.
Another player, Wang Wenyan, added: "...... It's just a little weird. ”
"Strange?"
"The macho men we've seen before are all with fists, and it's the first time I've seen that one with a bow and arrow just now, and one arrow will give the fire spirit beast seconds, and it's a mess! And one of the two of them with their fists didn't see much change in physique, the figure of the...... It's pretty slender, about the same as you, the boss. However, it can also knock over the fire spirit beast with one punch, and it can't be slammed. ”
"You haven't seen anything yet?" The boss pinched his white chin, and muttered to himself with some curiosity, "You have been wandering outside all day, can there be anyone you haven't seen in this area?" ”
Instead, he asked, "Where did you see that?" ”
"Right at the foot of that volcano...... The northwest side of the city is also on the northwest side of the volcano. ”
"There's no reason...... "The boss noticed the strange point for the first time, "who is a normal person running there?" ”
Even if you go up the mountain to find resources, then you can go north and go up the mountain after going out of the city, why go around a big circle to the direction of San'in.
Unless it's ...... The other party also wants to avoid crowded places.
"You didn't talk to each other?"
"Got it." Wang Wenyan nodded straight.
"What did you say?"
"They said, 'It's okay.'"
"And then?"
"And then we ran ......"
“……”
“……”
The boss stared at the two with a pair of black and white eyes, "People saved you, and you don't know how to thank you?" ”
"Who has nothing to say thank you to the NPC~" Wang Wenbo muttered, "The main thing is that we are all 'black households', how dare I talk to others casually?" ”
In case the identity of the black household is discovered, then you can't go to the operating table in minutes?
Wang Wenyan scratched his ears and cheeks, "I was chased stupidly by the fire spirit beast at that time...... Didn't react. ”
"......" The boss rubbed his chin with his fingers and wondered to himself, "Hey, do you think this will be the beginning of any mission?" ”
"Hmmm......"
“emmmm~”
The two brothers stared at each other in a daze, and their faces were dumbfounded.
"We can't keep this city like this, can we?"
Although I don't know much about the birthplace of other players, I at least know that other players will not have to face such a harsh environment as soon as they are born.
First of all, you have to be familiar with the environment, and if you can't get the "Adaptive Breath Enhancement" trait within three days after birth, you will have to be on a dog leash on the spot.
Either spend money to find a doctor to rush the trait proficiency, or find a way to improve your physique or physical attributes to be polished by time, this is the "main quest" that Gray Iron City players are born with.
First of all, you have to live, and only then can you have a game to play.
And then it's not over to live, the malice of the world is just beginning to show.
Players in other cities are difficult to return, but most of them come from the environment or some NPCs out of pure malice out of profit.
But this city is different......
The city itself, is the greatest malice.
Players in other cities are free to choose their own path to advancement.
You can major in martial arts and rely on your powerful body and combat skills to overturn everything.
You can also skillfully control the equipment, the early thermal weapons are a deadly threat to the player's fragile physique, and if you can get the weapons of this era that are mixed with science fiction and magic at the same time, the player's combat style can also be colorful.
Or cultivate psionic energy and transform all things with your will like a powerful magician.
Each of these ways of cultivating requires the player to find their own way out.
There is no such thing as a career mentor, no fixed mission route, or even a clear promotion system.
All freedom, full of infinite possibilities, every player's exploration of the game content is wonderful and changeable, almost with the same own conditions and the same form of the trigger of the plot, may also go in a completely different direction.
Even a villager rescued on the side of the road may share with you the technology of a controlled fusion reactor.
That's the beauty of this game world.
That's what is introduced in the official expansion pack, and other players also play like this after entering the game, but how did they get to their Gray Iron City, and the only way to promote is to transform their own flesh?
And not only is it unique, it's also mandatory.
As long as the "black households" are detected by the census at irregular intervals, they will first have to be pulled for surgery.
If the operation is successful, it is okay, not only can you get a powerful trait, but you can also improve your physical fitness to a certain extent, and the improvement speed is much faster than the players can exercise on their own, and those players who succeeded in the operation at the beginning thought that they had picked up a big bargain and came to a welfare city that other players could not dream of.
However...... The nightmare has just begun.
Surgery has a failure rate, and it is not small.
The losing player will either return to the west on the operating table, or they will be left to breathe and be discarded like a waste in the form of an unknown missing part, and then rely on their own efforts to fend for themselves in this jungle world.
At first, many players thought that this was a feature of the game, and besides, the game was ...... It's not really a big loss for players.
What is owed here will always be compensated elsewhere.
The last one who thought this way was called Kuang Xin, but it's a pity that this game is not always so benevolent.
After persevering for a while, these players felt that it was better to die directly on the operating table to count the ball.
After achieving a good result of three days and nine hungry meals in "City Survival Battle", most players chose to reopen.
There are only a handful of players left who still hold on to their "beliefs" - they are convinced that the game will live up to them, and that their persistence must be meaningful.
Otherwise, wouldn't the hardships of the previous days be in vain?
This is a failure......
Success is not much better.
The city's surgical techniques are extremely immature, and even if the surgery is successful, they will have to face the rejection effect of the modified body for additional organs, which leads to the fact that even those who have successfully operated have to rely on a drug called "stabilizing repair solution" to stabilize their situation.
And if you want to get this kind of thing, which only the city officials can produce, you have to accept their control and act according to their orders.
The city itself does not seem to have deliberately set up its own intelligence organization and large-scale convoys, etc., and they do not seem to care about dominating everyone, but only for the sake of surgery.
But in this situation, the whole city ...... It's all their people.
What a humiliating place this is for players who yearn for freedom and act lawlessly?
You can't jump on the roof and tear down the roof and smash the wall at will, where is the authenticity of this game reflected?
Not to mention that the surgery is not a one-time procedure......
There are many surgeries in Gray Iron City, and one operation is one after another.
Each operation is a restatement of all the risks mentioned above.
As long as the player has undergone surgery and has to accept a certain degree of control from the city because of the "Stabilization Repair Solution", it is recorded by the city official.
If one of the two influencing factors of time or body meets the conditions for the next operation, it will be pushed onto the operating table again.
If you succeed, of course, you will soar again, and if you fail, you will go straight to the end, or like those moldy players, you will be forced to start the "City Survival Battle".
After a period of hard work, players have of course discovered a certain pattern -
As long as you improve yourself in the middle of the two surgeries, make your physique strong enough, have enough traits and expertise, and happen to have a targeted effect on the surgery, you can greatly improve the success rate in the operation.
This is the only direction in which players can "win" all the time.
But the failure rate is still not small, at least for players, it is difficult to accept.
Naturally, there are people who resist the deformed policy.
Even if you can't resist, you can run away.
A group of "rats" like them hiding underground are the "black households" that are caught everywhere in the city.
So to put it another way: those who want to avoid the city's gaze are "black households".
There are very few fierce people in the "black household", at least they have not seen this group of players who do not obey the rules of urban deformity.
But they firmly believe that it should not be.
At least Yafei has always believed in it.
The deformed city will usher in a complete purification, and changing the deformed rules of this city may be the natural "main quest" that all players born in this city really carry.
obedient to the city, as a dog; Those who rebel against the city are rats.
It's a rat-dog battle.
The dog camp has the big daddy of the city itself, but what about their rat camp?
Players who are just new to them? When will it take to overturn this?
There must be a big dad who leads the charge.
Yafei has been looking for Big Daddy, and now ......
The strength is strong and does not look like the power brought about by the surgical transformation, and at the same time, it also needs to hide from the sight of the city.
Is this an opportunity to overthrow the city?
Thinking of this, Yafei stood up excitedly, "Where did you meet them?" Take me to see it! ”
Whether it's a problem or not, it's always okay to touch it.
Even if it's not their own big daddy, they players who are unwilling to undergo surgical transformation finally encounter NPC powerhouses who are also not taking the route of surgical transformation, and they are not in a hurry to tie up?
Otherwise, Ma Zai is Ma Zai, and he has no strategic vision.
"Let's go!"
Yafei, who was dressed in a crop top horse boy short suit, jumped off the wooden box he was sitting on lightly, and walked to the entrance and exit of the cave first, "Hurry up, don't wait for anyone to run." ”
"It's coming, it's coming!" Ma Wenbo was excited, and finally reacted at this time.
……
"Whew~"
"Suck ~"
"Whew~"
"Suck ~"
The three figures stood in place, inhaling and inhaling for a long time.
Seeing that he had already thrown away the 99 points of proficiency of the other two, Kuang Xin was full of pride.
"Do you understand what it means to be brutal and fleshy?" 》
"Gollum~"
The gravel rolled down the steeper slope of the hill far away.
The earth began to shake slightly.
In his calm breathing, Gu Lan, who happened to have entered a meditative state and communicated heaven and earth with his own will, asked about a smoky flame breath.
She opened her eyes in confusion and looked at the top of the gentle hillside that stretched up...... The black-and-gray earth seems to have been solidified for thousands of years, so much so that everyone has forgotten that it is actually an active volcano.
"It's not going to erupt, is it?"
"How can it be such a coincidence?" Kuang Xin opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and retorted with some disdain, "We just came to the eruption of the volcano, we are the children of the volcano?" ”
Dai Lian squinted his eyes and stopped his breathing rhythm, "But this movement ...... Looks like it's going to be big. ”
Behind the rugged turn of the hillside, where Dai Lian and the others could not see, a wisp of red flames suddenly erupted from the hole in the earth by the upwelling air.
Instead of the other ashes that were erupting with them, the red flames were as deftly arcing through the air as if they had their own spirits, and finally burrowed into the earth below.
The gray-black boulders flow between the flaming red lines like magma, as if the human body's transmembrane network constitutes the human body's ecosystem, and the fiery red lines also turn the ordinary stone that originally had no breath of life into a "life" that can move freely.
"Hmm~" A dull whistling came out of nowhere, and the giant stone man froze in place for a moment, and then the "head" like a human torso looked in the direction of the city, and then strode out.
The moment the giant stone man leaned out of the rugged place, Kuang Xin and the others all held their breath.
Kuang Xin was a little dumbfounded, "What is this?" ”
Dai Lian looked dumbfounded, "How do I know?" ”
Gu Lan rationally analyzed, "Maybe it's a local characteristic, right?" ”
It is also a fiery red monster, compared to the upright lion that the locals called the fire spirit beast just now, which is about less than twice the size of a human being, this giant stone man in the distance has already presented enough visual shock.
Seeing that the giant stone man began to take steps as if locking in the direction, the three of them widened their eyes even more.
"Wait...... Why does it look like you're coming for us? Did we breathe in it? ”
"Nonsense! Soon, the big foot girl is going to step on your face, and it still looks like it? ”
"What should I do?"
"What to do? Draw a knife and it! ”
……
"Boss! Right there! Wang Wenbo pointed to the three figures standing in place in the distance with a happy face.
When I turned my head, I saw that my boss was already cowering behind a rock.
"Boss?"
"Boss?"
Yafei glanced at the two of them fiercely, and pointed to a "big red dot" in the distance that had just begun to move.
"Lava Behemoth! Let's get together and give it for nothing?! Let's see what they're going to do first. ”
Wang Wenyan squinted his eyes for a while, and then scratched his cheeks suspiciously, "They seem to be planning to rush?" ”
