Chapter 16 The secret of chopping wood (additional update for Silver League leader Lazy Sheep)
Du-du-du!
Listening to the blind tone on the phone, Xiao Jie sneered as expected.
Does this break the defense? Liu Qiang, Liu Qiang, you are still the same.
He knows Liu Qiang very well. For this kind of hypocrisy and cowardice, it is useless to pretend to be stupid. Liu Qiang is still somewhat clever. Now that Han Luo is dead, the hatred between the two has been forged, no matter No matter how he pretends that nothing is wrong, or pretends not to care about hatred, Liu Qiang will never really believe it.
And asking for peace with soft words is the last resort. A person like Liu Qiang who has no bottom line will never give up hatred because of his own peace. Instead, he will cause the other party to act more unscrupulously because of his weakness.
Only by showing a strong side can the other party be unsure of one's reality and falsehood, and become timid and afraid to take action easily.
Of course, Xiao Jie is not completely sure about this. Liu Qiang has disappeared for so long. God knows how strong he has become now. What if he is so strong that he ignores the laws of physics and the laws of reality and directly kills himself with a spell from the air? No matter what you do, it's useless.
Although what he said just now was arrogant, his heart was not as calm as he looked.
Liu Qiang has been playing in the old land for so long, so he must be strong, and he knows where he lives. If he really wants to attack him, he will definitely not be able to escape.
Of course, you can also choose to move to avoid it, but in today's information society, as long as you have money, people and skills, it is too easy to find someone. Moving by yourself will not only make it safer, but may also expose your weak nature.
This is the most stupid thing to do when dealing with jackals and hyenas.
So I simply stopped hiding and mocked the other party without restraint, so that the other party could not tell the truth.
He calculated that Liu Qiang did not dare to take action. Although this person was a little smart, he valued personal interests too much and would never do anything that would result in a loss. It was okay to benefit oneself at the expense of others, but it was absolutely not allowed to harm others and oneself.
So this guy would rather use two precious activation codes to set up a trap than do it himself.
But we have to take precautions. If this guy is stimulated by himself, loses his mind, and really does something to himself, then he must arrange the second step.
Xiao Jie sat in front of the computer, exported the recording, and quickly edited it.
Gaining power in the game takes too long, and there's no telling how long it will take to get revenge. If Liu Qiang really attacks him, even if he is going to die, at least he can't let him escape.
And it would be even more perfect if we could use the power of the black windbreaker to deal with him in advance.
The recording and editing were completed soon.
Xiao Jie directly dialed the number left by Hei Fengyi.
"Hello."
"What's wrong, Mr. Xiao?"
"Liu Qiang called me just now. He threatened me and said he would kill me. He also said that killing me would be as easy as killing an ant. Don't you care about this?"
Xiao Jie said and directly sent the edited recording.
"Well, Mr. Xiao, your editing skills need to be improved."
"..., well, I did edit it, but if he hadn't said that, I wouldn't have been able to edit it, so he still wanted to kill me."
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid this evidence is indeed not strong, and now the recording has long been not recognized as valid evidence, but you can rest assured that we will mercilessly crack down on any criminal who dares to violate the Player Management Act. If Liu Qiang really If he attacks you, he will never run away."
"What if he hires a murderer to kill someone? This guy must be very rich?"
"If he hires someone to do it, we can dig him out through interrogation. Please rest assured that we will never allow anyone to take chances when it comes to maintaining legal order, especially when it comes to the management of game players. There is no room for negotiation.”
Xiao Jie thought to himself: "Why don't I die early?" Although life and death must be put aside for revenge, it is better not to die.
"Can't you send a few people to protect me?"
"Haha, Mr. Xiao, stop joking. How is this possible? After all, there are too many conflicts between players. We have limited manpower and cannot protect everyone. You can't just come to us for protection if you cause trouble. We are law enforcement As a department, not a security company, we can only say that we can ensure that no bad guy is spared.”
Xiao Jie was not surprised by this result. He was just an ordinary person. What qualifications did he have to be protected by the other party? As long as he had this guarantee that he would not let a bad person go, it would be enough.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jie sighed.
At this point, we can only place our hope on the power of the country.
Although he felt that Liu Qiang would most likely not dare to take action against him directly, but if he did, he would most likely be killed.
But this kind of thing of placing fate on others still makes Xiao Jie very unhappy.
I am still too weak and can only rely on the protection of others.
If you are strong enough, there is no need to go to such trouble.
If you dare to provoke me, your whole family will be killed directly. The speech he made to Liu Qiang about pursuing power before was not entirely a performance, but also came from the heart.
For a moment, Xiao Jie almost couldn't help but want to take out all the money and use it to buy gold. Then, like the me who wanted to become an immortal in the morning, he bought a set of equipment and went outside the village to upgrade monsters.
But he finally endured it. He picked up the bowl of noodles and started to eat it with an expressionless expression. After taking one bite, he looked helpless. Unfortunately, the bowl of noodles was so lumpy.
After finally finishing lunch, Xiao Jie came to the computer again.
When I clicked on the post asking for help on how to chop wood in [The Sea of Knowledge], there were already a lot of replies. [Does anyone still chop wood to make a fire these days? 】
[Probably a blogger of wilderness survival. 】
[What are the tips for chopping firewood? Just chop it. 】
[Use an axe. What the hell is a hatchet? 】
[When I was a child, I chopped firewood. When cutting firewood, you have to cut it along the stubble. There are textures on the branches of the branches. It can be easily cut along the texture.
Never cut vertically against the tree trunk, as this can easily cause the blade to break. 】
[The first is not to cut hard places such as scar joints, and the second is that the blade ribs must be correct. When cutting diagonally, there needs to be an angle between the direction of the blade and the direction you are looking.
Because the blade is a cone, the blade will be subject to tangential torque when slashing, so an angle needs to be reserved in advance to facilitate alignment. 】
Xiao Jie's eyes lit up, I see, there are professionals for everything, and there are so many things to say about cutting firewood.
But to put it bluntly, it’s simple, just avoid the real and hit the weak, and master the angle and strength.
If it were in other games, this kind of detailed operation would be difficult to achieve, but in Old Earth, because the picture is realistic enough, every detail of the branches is presented, and you can use the mouse to control the attack when attacking. The angle and strength are completely achievable.
Of course, it requires a lot of skills, but it's not something you can do.
He searched some pictures of tree branches on the Internet, compared them twice, and quickly understood the concept of cutting stubble with the two answers he just gave.
Entering the game again, Xiao Jie went to the back mountain, found a dead tree, and observed it carefully.
Sure enough, the branches around the trunk have many branches, and each branch has an inclined opening.
Xiao Jie raised the hatchet, aimed it at a slanted opening, thought for a moment, tilted it slightly, leaving a slight angle of force, and slashed it diagonally.
There was a click.
System prompt: Dry firewood +1.
Another chop with a knife.
System prompt: Dry firewood +1.
Haha, so easy!
However, happiness brings sorrow, the mouse only shook a little, and then chopped on the trunk of the tree - click!
Failed to chop wood!
Fortunately, it just failed and did not reduce the durability.
Xiao Jie calmed down, found the right angle, and slashed with his sword again.
There were no mistakes this time.
Click-click-click-click!
Xiao Jie slashed a dozen sticks at a time, and in an instant a dead tree was cut down into a bare trunk.
Xiao Jie immediately replaced a tree and chopped a bundle of firewood in less than five minutes, which increased his efficiency by about one and a half times.
The more Xiao Jie watched, the happier he became. He could definitely make money now.
Click!
When the branches on another tree were cut down.
System prompt: Your wood-cutting skill has been upgraded and is now at the proficiency level.
[Chopping wood (mastery)
Passive effect: Reduce physical consumption by 20% when chopping wood, and increase critical hit rate by 20%.
Skill introduction: After repeatedly chopping wood, you have successfully mastered some wood-chopping skills and techniques, thereby raising this seemingly ordinary skill to a proficient level. Now you can chop wood faster and better. 】
Chopping firewood and getting critical hits? What is the effect of this?
The answer came quickly, five or six blows.
Click! One knife actually split two branches together.
Great success in chopping wood - dry wood +2.
Well...it can be regarded as adding a little sense of accomplishment to the boring work of chopping wood.
As the number of critical hits increased, Xiao Jie became a little excited. Although it was just a simple game of chopping firewood, it also gave him a rare sense of accomplishment.
At least it's much more interesting than the boring online games on the market now.
He spent the whole afternoon chopping firewood, and as expected, the benefits greatly increased after he found the correct method. Not only did his physical strength deplete more slowly, but the durability of the hatchet would hardly decrease.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, his backpack was filled to the brim with dry firewood.
This time he exchanged a full 200 Wen from Wang Daniu.
After buying four steamed buns to fill up his satiety level, Xiao Jie continued to chop wood.
When he upgraded his wood-cutting skill from (Proficient) to (Expert), a system prompt made him overjoyed.
[System prompt: After continuously chopping wood, you have gradually mastered the skills of using knife weapons. From the [Chopping Wood] skill, you have learned the related skill [Knife Weapon Mastery (Introduction)].
