Chapter 374: Players who are stimulated (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
There is no doubt that among these new cards are the [Dragon Engine] and [Astrogen Engine] from Phyrexia time and space. , [Rage Beast], as well as [Magic Heavy Cannon], [Large Ornithopter], and various [Constructs] of different sizes and shapes from Dominaria, completely opening the door to magic for Zuo Si. A door integrated with technology.
As for [Shining Oil]...
He does not intend to conduct any in-depth research for the time being, nor will he hand it over to anyone.
Because this thing is so dangerous, if you are not careful, it will directly erode and completely change the world.
Unless a relatively closed space-time can be found, and there are no people or creatures in it, Zuo Si will consider releasing [Shining Oil] to see how this substance created by Yawgmoth can complete the entire process bit by bit. The erosion, infection and transformation of the world, by the way, try to see if you can control it and use it for your own use.
After all, Yawgmoth himself has been killed long ago, and the most important mechanical core of Phyrexia has also been destroyed. The whole world has fallen apart. In theory, [Shining Oil] can be regarded as an ownerless thing. .
It is like those artificial intelligences that have lost human control. Although they are still performing tasks according to pre-set programs, they actually no longer have the ability to judge on their own.
No matter who you are, as long as you can crack the secret, you can become the new owner of [Shuoyou] just like cracking the firewall and system of a computer.
Unfortunately, most of the planeswalkers in ancient times were frightened by Yawgmoth and the Phyrexian forces he created. For [Shining Oil], which can transform organic life and repair mechanical bodies, , and nearly unlimited energy are as terrifying as a tiger.
Not to mention researching and trying to control it, even if there are traces of [Shining Oil] erosion in that place, the entire area will be immediately and permanently quarantined.
But Zuo Si is different.
He has not experienced the despair of watching time and space being eroded and occupied by Phyrexia one after another, but he is powerless to do anything.
On the contrary, he is full of curiosity and interest in studying the magic technology left behind by the ancient Solan civilization, as well as the Phyrexian civilization further developed by Yawgmoth on this basis.
Especially those huge [Dragon Engines] with mechanical beauty, and they may be super humanoid mechanical [Constructs] created by the ancient planeswalker Urza to fight against them. Zuo Si was deeply fascinated by every exception.
After all, these super large mechanical creations are inherently attractive to men like black holes.
If you conduct a questionnaire survey among men on earth and ask them to choose between a beautiful and sexy lover or a large robot, more than 90% will choose the latter without hesitation.
No way, who makes most men remain teenagers until they die.
No hesitation!
Zuo Si directly used his powerful creator ability to create a secret research base underground here, transform some cards into physical objects, and build a permanent portal.
After finishing all this, he returned to the floating city and summoned dozens of experts in machinery, materials, physics, etc., as well as Tyrantir, who had just crossed the threshold not long ago and officially became a legendary mage, and gathered them all together Brought over.
After witnessing the [Dragon Engine], [Magic Heavy Cannon], [Large Ornithopter] and various [Constructs], everyone fell into a state of sluggishness for five or six days. He couldn't recover from the intense shock even after a few minutes.
Although strictly speaking, the actual combat effectiveness of these things may not be much stronger than those powerful ancient dragons, and they will even be at an absolute disadvantage in spell confrontation.
But the visual impact and sense of oppression brought by the giant machinery that can easily reach hundreds or thousands of meters are simply incomparable to the ancient giant dragon.
Mechanical engineer David kept swallowing his saliva. After a long time, he raised his arms and slapped his face hard twice, as if to confirm whether he was dreaming at this moment.
But the pain quickly made his brain become extremely clear-headed, and he immediately exclaimed in a trembling voice: "No...impossible!
How can a bionic machine of this size and size be created?< br>
Even if it is made, how can it move so fast and sensitively?
Gravity and its own weight alone should crush it!
Also! Yes, what does this huge body rely on for transmission?
Unscientific!
It’s so unscientific! ”
Obviously, these huge mechanical creations in front of him have completely overturned the inherent understanding of a mechanical engineer who has been on the earth for decades.
Not only him, but also other people’s. The reactions were similar.
Experts specializing in materials science even came closer to carefully observe the materials of the metal skeletons and gears. They found that although they contained a lot of iron elements, they were actually made of iron. A memory alloy with extremely high strength and toughness
Even if you use a heavy blow to create a small crater on it and deform it, it will return to its original state within a few seconds at most.
As for the physicists, they noticed the energy core shining with magical light inside the [Dragon Engine] and [Construct], and each one of them went crazy with instruments to detect it. .
When the test results came out, they found in disbelief that each of these things built with unknown technology was like a small nuclear fusion reactor, which could release huge amounts of energy completely disproportionate to its own size. , even if it is used for thousands or tens of thousands of years, there will be no problem of energy depletion.
In addition, the energy transmission methods spread across the metal skeleton on the inside of the body also opened the eyes of this group of scientific research elites from the earth.
It turns out that when magic and technology are perfectly combined, they can actually create something so powerful, perfect and incredible.
In contrast, Tyrantir, a mage, focused on the magic constant system used on the surface of [Dragon Engine], [Construct], [Magic Heavy Cannon] and [Large Ornithopter].
Although the Soran civilization in Dominaria's ancient times always gives people the illusion of technological and mechanical civilization.
But in fact, the background or source of their civilization is still not divorced from the use of energy and mana.
It's just that the original direct manipulation of energy to form various magical effects has been applied to the fields of machinery, biology, and genetic modification.
So the magic constant system developed on this basis is definitely not inferior to any highly developed magic civilization, or even worse.
For Tyrantir, this is simply a huge treasure trove.
If you can learn from it and master some relevant knowledge, you will definitely gain very powerful power, and maybe even create a new legendary advanced profession.
In short, everyone present felt that these creations have unimaginable research value.
If I hadn’t gotten permission yet, I would have started to dismantle a small structure and started to reverse-engineer to figure out the basic principles of its operation.
Zuo Si obviously felt the enthusiasm for facing unknown technology and knowledge, and immediately announced with a smile: "Starting from today, your most important job is to organize manpower to deal with these top talents who combine magic and technology. Reverse engineer the creation and apply the results to the Floating City of Plantia. Tell me, are you confident in completing this task?"
"Hehe! Of course I have confidence! If we can't reverse engineer it through physical objects, we elites in various industries will have no shame in continuing to live. But this will obviously take a long time, and during this period it will need to include resources and manpower. The most important thing is that we need to dismantle, analyze and study these behemoths.”
McKas, a Ph.D. in physics, grinned with great excitement.
If the previous research conducted in the floating city was a variety of attempts aimlessly, and even they themselves did not know what results could be obtained, then what is to be done next is Targeted scientific research.
And it is not an ordinary scientific research project, but a large-scale reverse engineering with physical objects.
Through these studies, we can also unlock the amazing knowledge and advanced technology of an ancient and extremely developed magic and technological civilization.
Is there anything more exciting in the world than this?
The answer is obviously no!
Although the phrase "technological research and development relies on archaeology" has always been a quite classic joke on earth, this is obviously not the case in the magical world.
Especially those ancient civilizations that developed to terrifying heights thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, but suddenly perished due to some special reasons, it can be said that each of them has its own uniqueness.
Similar to Dominaria, a time and space where ancient artifacts can be unearthed from underground ruins every now and then. It is even more normal for "technological research and development to rely on archeology".
Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! I will give you enough support and agree with you to disassemble the things left here. But there is one thing. If you are not completely sure, it is best not to touch those cores. . "
"Don't worry, those of us who study high-energy physics know very well what an energy core of that level means, and we will never dismantle it rashly, but we will start with the smallest one. The mechanical body began to be dismantled," McCas assured.
Soon, under his leadership, pieces of testing instruments, special equipment for scientific research, and some large mechanical cranes for disassembly were transported from the floating city through the portal.
Only two or three hours later, a group of people gathered around the smallest [Construct] and began to discuss where to start.
If it were a normal time when he was not busy, Zuo Si would naturally be very happy to join it and use his professional abilities as a creator to help with analysis and provide professional advice.
But unfortunately, there are too many things that he needs to be busy with now. Just locking two worlds through the dark void requires a lot of energy.
Secondly, I have to take some time to attend the upcoming meeting of the Northern Lords Alliance in Luskan, to see what Alustriel and Golden Dragon Queen Veramalandis want after coming all the way. What to do.
Finally, we must also pay attention to the movements of Baldur's Gate and Amn, and ensure that the Sons of Baal begin to awaken on a large scale and compete for the throne left by their father, as well as the throne left by Shane VII in Askatra. When the chess pieces come into play, you can react immediately.
In addition, Cyric, who is making artifacts, and the Church of Bane, who is lurking in the dark and waiting for opportunities, cannot take it lightly.
Just when Zuo Si was about to turn around and leave, Tyrantir, who was still obsessed with analyzing those constant magics one second, suddenly came back to his senses the next second, walked quickly forward and whispered a report Said: "Your Excellency, a small number of elites among those players have graduated from the corresponding academies and will leave the Floating City today to perform their first mission."
"Graduation? So fast!" Zuo Si was slightly surprised.
Tailan Tier explained helplessly: "Well! According to the observation of the mastermind Isadora, we found that those experienced veterans who have been on the battlefield before, and some bodyguards who have received professional training , killers and agents can often complete the training courses of warriors, thieves, rangers, barbarian warriors and other professions in a very short period of time.
In comparison, the spellcaster profession is much slower. .
Currently only two priests, one druid, four bards and one warlock have obtained real professional levels
In order to prevent them from being unable to suppress their inner feelings. The violent tendencies and murderous impulses in the group caused trouble. After discussing with Vanessa, I decided to issue a mission and send them to find traces of other floating cities.
In about an hour, these people will take the airship to the designated location to search..."
"Wait! What happened to the airship? "Zuo Si suddenly interrupted.
You must know that the last time I left the floating city, there was no plan for this thing.
How come it only took ten days to do it? Did you build a real thing?
Although he also knew that the structure of the airship was not complicated, it could even be said to be very simple, it was just a huge airbag plus a pod below, and a power propulsion system. >
With the floating city's incredible industrial capabilities that combine magic and technology, it is estimated that one can be built in just an hour or two at most once the design drawings are available.
But the question is, is the safety of this airship really guaranteed?
Has it been rigorously tested in flight and bad weather?
If attacked by flying magical creatures, is there any way to repel or counterattack?
Any mature and stable aircraft cannot be achieved overnight and needs to be tested in practice over a long period of time.
An airship like this, which was put into use just a few days after it was built, makes people feel panicked no matter how much they think about it, and there is no sense of security at all.
“Building airships is actually a sudden idea to find more tribes hidden in mountains and dense forests on another continent.
According to the other three Isadora According to the request, they need a vehicle that can adjust the height and fly at a slow speed so that they can find the small and medium-sized tribes hiding one by one.
According to this request, weapons designer Boll gave the request.
In order to implement the idea of low cost, easy mass production, simple structure and easy repair and maintenance, he did not make much changes to the original structure of the airship. >
Just replace the internal combustion engine originally used to provide power with an electric motor, and use the cylindrical energy storage crystal matrix you invented as the energy source.
In addition, in order to greatly increase the carrying capacity, Boll fixed a large amount of magic [Feather Falling Technique] on the pod, making it almost weightless no matter how many things are loaded.
In this way, a large amount of people and materials can be easily carried with a small buoyancy of the airbag, achieving a far cheaper transportation method than building and maintaining a permanent portal.
And even if the airbag is destroyed, the pod below will not hit the ground hard, but will float down at a very slow speed.
When landing, as long as the anti-magic force field is used to block a small part of the effect of [Feather Falling Technique], the pod's own weight will cause it to lower its height and finally dock at the designated location. The terrain has few special requirements.
In addition, the airbag of the airship also maintains the magical effect of wind resistance, ensuring normal operation in harsh weather conditions such as strong winds.
So far, we have only built one for flight and safety experiments. ”
When saying this, Tyrantir did not hide his approval of Bol and his airship design plan at all.
Because with this thing, not only can it greatly Improve the execution efficiency of the population migration plan, and at the same time expand the control range of the Floating City of Plantia, and reduce the transportation and trade costs between towns and villages in the ruled area.
If the number of people built is large enough, it can be formed. With a stable schedule like buses, it is even possible to completely abandon the construction and maintenance of roads. In the future, both traveling and buying and selling goods will be completed through the air transportation system.
Not only does this save extra money, it's also very efficient, which is perfect.
As a person with the thinking and insight of modern society on Earth, it is certainly impossible for Zuo Si not to know the advantages and disadvantages of airships.
Especially under the influence of magic power, when the load capacity is greatly increased, and safety and stability are guaranteed, large airships are more useful than transport aircraft.
So he nodded with satisfaction: "It sounds pretty good. By the way, what kind of gas is injected into the airbag of this experimental airship? Is it helium?"
"No, it's hydrogen. Because it's easier and cheaper to obtain, and the electrolyzed water in the floating city can be obtained continuously day and night."
Tyrantir gave an answer that made Zuo Si feel frightened.
"Hydrogen?! Doesn't that mean that the entire airbag of the airship is equivalent to a huge bomb? Just throw a flame into it, and it will instantly turn into a gorgeous and huge firework blooming in the sky?" Zuo Si couldn't help but asked with the corner of his mouth twitching.
But Tailan Tier shrugged nonchalantly: "About this, Bohr also raised it when submitting the design plan.
Our researchers are stepping up to develop a A relatively cheap method of extracting helium.
After the results are obtained, helium will naturally be used to replace the original hydrogen.
But now...
It’s not a big problem to make do with hydrogen first.
Anyway, the sky is always much safer than the earth. At least there are not so many undead, monsters and bandits who rob homes.
What's more, those players will not really die at all. Even if there is an accident, they will only lose a clone and a small amount of supplies.
Compared with the things you need to prepare and the dangers you encounter when taking the land route, it is nothing at all.
Of course, if you're thinking of implementing this kind of transportation in Faerûn, you'd better think twice.
I am not sure whether those evil dragons, pterosaurs, griffins and other creatures with the ability to fly will attack the airships floating over their lairs and territories.
At least don't rush to promote it until we find a self-defense weapon that can be equipped on airships. "
"Don't worry. Before helium replaces hydrogen, I will not take out such a dangerous thing as public transportation. That is simply murder. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You and Vanessa keep an eye on this side. ”
After saying this, Zuo Si went directly through several portals and returned to the Mage Tower. In the following days, he used the power of sparks to find the coordinates of the new world in the dark void while reading. The Netherese Scrolls draw upon a wealth of magical theory
At the same time, more than 140 players who graduated from their respective academies in the floating city have now assembled and are standing in the shadow of the huge airship, raising their heads and staring at this behemoth with their mouths open.
About two or three minutes later, Jack, who was wearing plate armor and a fully enclosed helmet, couldn't help but cursed in a tone full of exclamation: "Fake!
We belong to The floating city actually has a vehicle like an airship?
Are you kidding?
And the ratio between the pod and the airbag is completely wrong!
Generally speaking, it is normal for the latter to be more than ten times or even dozens of times larger than the former!
How does it float? "
"Do you think that in this world full of magical power, airships will be the same as the real world?
I bet there must be a lot of magic on this thing.
I asked a mage apprentice a few days ago that there is a magic called [Featherfall] in the first arcane spell, which can make people or objects as light as feathers.
Maybe there are many similar spells constantly blessed on the pod. And with an airship as a means of transportation, it will be much easier for us to go to the mission location, and we don't have to work hard to sleep in the open.
Damn it!
I really like this virtual game world more and more. ”
Wu Sheng stuck out his tongue and gently licked his slightly dry lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.
"Hahahaha! Me too! Compared to the unfamiliar real world, this place can give us old popsicles a more familiar feeling. Come on, let's go in and see what's going on inside the airship."
< br>After saying that, Jack patted his teammate's shoulder hard and quickly climbed up the rope ladder.
Wu Sheng followed closely behind.
After a while, more than 140 players entered the spacious pod.
Because it is a temporary work, there are basically no decorations and furnishings inside the pod. It is only divided into five parts based on functions.
The cabin closest to the tail is the core power system, which contains the electric engine, energy crystal matrix, control and operating system.
Obviously, this part is not open to players for the time being. Instead, Boll and his people are responsible for operating it. By the way, they will collect the design flaws and problems that may arise during the test flight of the airship, and then bring them back for upgrade and improvement. .
As for the second part, it is a warehouse used to store supplies.
There are some fresh water, alcohol, grain, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and milk for players to eat and drink, as well as replacement equipment such as weapons, armor, shields, crossbows, as well as arrows, flaming arrows, etc. Consumables such as fire glue, holy water that can cause extra damage to undead creatures, small incendiary bombs and liquid hydrogen-oxygen bombs used to clear large areas.
However, since the number of players is only over 140, there does not seem to be a lot of supplies, and the warehouse area can't help but give people a slightly empty feeling.
The third and fourth parts are the living areas.
There are not only separate small rooms and soft beds for sleeping, but also a large comprehensive kitchen for cooking, a public canteen, an entertainment lounge, a gym and a training ground.
As for the last area, it is the semi-enclosed deck leading outside, which can also be called an observation deck or weapons platform.
Of course, since there are no suitable weapons that can be installed yet, we only made some ordinary ballistae and bed crossbows with rotation direction functions for show.
But players can use this place to drop the bombs and incendiary bombs in the warehouse and carry out large-scale indiscriminate bombing on the ground.
As the airship designer and the person with the highest decision-making authority for this mission, Boll first took these players on a rough tour from beginning to end and clearly explained various precautions before ordering the anti-magic field to be lifted. As a result, the motor was powered on and slowly drove away from the floating city of Plantia.
Seeing that the first batch of elites could actually embark on a journey in this spectacular vehicle, the rest of the players who had not yet obtained a real professional level showed expressions of envy and hatred.
"Gan! I haven't been in the sky since I was born. I really want to take an airship!"
"I have flown on civil aviation a few times, but I feel sure It's incomparable to the airship. If I had known that the first batch of graduates from the academy would get such extra benefits, I wouldn't have wasted my time doing those side tasks to make money."
"Who said it wasn't the case? Just thinking about going out on an adventure makes people feel excited and excited.”
"Damn it! I can't bear it anymore! Now I have to go back to the Warrior Academy to practice more!"
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
"Let's go together!"
"Is there any apprentice from the Mage Tower who can accompany me to the library?"
"Me, me, me!"
"The Thieves Academy has gathered here! Today we are going to challenge ourselves to pass through the rooms full of traps within five minutes."
......
For a time, more than 90% of the players seemed to have been stimulated. They swept away their previous thoughts of lying flat and exploiting loopholes, and devoted themselves crazily to almost masochistic training. Even the floating city releases on weekdays Don't pay attention to the tasks.
As for the remaining handful, it’s not that they don’t want to work hard, but that they are all pregnant and do not dare to do too strenuous activities.
Even many female players began to regret their original choices.
But the problem is that giving birth to a child already involves an upfront time investment, so they are unwilling to give up halfway and can only grit their teeth and hold on until they get the first reward. Keep up the good work.
As the daily manager of the Floating City, after Vanessa noticed this change in wind direction and atmosphere, she immediately showed a meaningful smile and directly asked the mastermind Isadora to enter the virtual world "Infinite City" A trailer for a game update was released in .
The content is that in half a month, a new world will be opened for all players who have obtained professional levels.
In the new world, they are free to join any force, or they can join forces to form their own force, and they can even destroy, kill, plunder, conquer, and rule all villages and towns, even if they become kings and founding countries. question.
In short, there are no taboos while ensuring that the interests of Plantia Floating City are not harmed.
And depending on the route and camp chosen by each player, the tasks and rewards given are also different.
If the giant airship passing over the floating city before was equivalent to throwing a big firecracker into the middle of the crowd, then this update trailer is like a cloud bomb, which suddenly plunged thousands of players into crazy.
Jack, who had just taken a break from the airship, immediately found his good teammate. His eyes flashed with a chilling light, and he grinned and asked: "Man, did you see that? Is there the latest announcement?”
“Well! How could I not see such important news unless I am deaf and blind?”
Wu Sheng subconsciously clenched his fists and answered in the affirmative without thinking.
"Then what are your plans and plans? In other words, do you want to join a certain camp, or should we form a new camp and work alone?" Jack touched the stubble growing on his chin. tentatively.
Wu Sheng responded without thinking: "Do you still need to ask? Of course I will do it alone!
The description of that new world is already very clear, it is a medieval level, A place with a few dragons and a small amount of magic.
With our knowledge and experience, we can easily raise a mercenary team.
At that time, the soldiers will be trained through small-scale wars, and then the number will be gradually increased until they can capture cities and cede territories to become kings.
Of course, in order to quickly achieve this goal, we must recruit more players to join.
As for the number, it is best to keep it between fifty and one hundred. "
"Hahahaha! We both thought of going together!
I think this mission is a good opportunity.
After all, those who can graduate from their respective academies within half a month must be elite warriors like you and me.
Select and recruit some of them as the core core, and then select some from the other players, and we will be able to form an invincible and powerful team. "
Jack laughed and watched, while gearing up for a big fight.
"It will take at least half a month for the new world to open. During this period, we must try our best to Improve your professional level and accumulate combat experience. The most important thing is to perform outstandingly in tasks in order to win more appeal and influence among the player group. ”
While talking, Wu Sheng poured the slimy nutritious meal on his plate into his mouth, which had no texture or taste at all.
After eating this disgusting-looking food for more than half a month, he felt that his taste system had begun to deteriorate.
If it weren’t for the fact that I could taste real food in the game world, I would probably go crazy.
In fact, not only him, but also other players had similar reactions.
Some of the more pampered people have even begun to develop stress reactions and anorexia. They can't help but feel sick and want to vomit when they see nutritious meals. They would rather exchange the little money they finally earned in the game for real-world food. Money can buy food, but I am not willing to endure this kind of torture.
Jack also pinched his nose and poured the sticky paste from the dinner plate into his mouth, then drank a large glass of water in one breath and put it into his stomach, and then he let out a long sigh. He cursed in a low voice: "This extremely bad taste and taste always reminds me of the vomit that drunkards spit out at the door of the bar. I really don't understand how the future society in three hundred years can create such a thing." Something against humanity is coming.”
"Because it is provided free of charge to all poor people who cannot afford to eat, ensuring the most basic right to survival. So don't complain. After completing this task and getting the reward, I will buy some fresh vegetables and meat online. You cook a delicious meal," Wu Sheng comforted as he threw the empty plate into the automatic washing machine next to him.
“That’s what you said! I’ll keep it in mind!”
Since Jack had already tasted the cooking skills of his teammate from the cooking class on the airship, his eyes suddenly lit up. , the mouth also began to secrete a lot of saliva.
"No problem! The greatest advantage of me is that I never break my promise. Let's go back to the virtual world and see where the airship is now."
said After that, the two of them got up to open this free public welfare restaurant, returned to their temporary residence, and lay down in the huge egg-shaped life support system.
In the blink of an eye, their consciousness was injected into the clone's brain by psychic signals.
After a brief trance, Jack and Wu Sheng woke up from the beds in the living area of the airship.
After briefly checking and sorting out their equipment, they immediately came to the semi-enclosed deck outside.
Since the flight altitude is only more than a thousand meters, the situation on the ground can be clearly seen through the telescope.
Among them, the zombies wandering along a country road and the extremely fast and strange ghouls quickly attracted the attention of the two.
"What is that?"
Jack couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
“That is the undead creature that becomes under the influence of negative energy after death. The lowest among them are skeletons and zombies, and the more advanced ones are ghouls. When you arrive at your destination, what will you face? The biggest threat should come from them."
Captain Boll, who happened to be on the deck to take a breather, explained in a casual tone.
"What should I pay attention to when dealing with them?" Jack asked very humbly.
He didn't know that the person in front of him actually came from the same world as himself, and he thought that the person in front of him was some high-level NPC who had a lot of knowledge and secrets.
Of course, Bol has long been accustomed to this attitude of players, and replied calmly: "There are two points that need to be noted.
First, most of the undead Creatures have no so-called vital points. If you want to kill them, you must smash them completely;
Secondly, the undead in this world are different from the undead in other worlds. They may carry deadly magical plagues in their bodies, so It is best to take a specially prepared potion immediately after the battle.
Since you are a priest, you have an advantage over other professions.
Whether God gives you the ability to disperse or control undead creatures, or those positive energy magics and the Phoenix God's unique fire magics, you can cause amazing damage to them.
Alternatively, the same effect can be obtained by applying holy water and oil on the weapon.
In short, encountering small-scale zombies or ghouls should not be too difficult a challenge for you.
However, if you are unlucky and encounter hundreds or even thousands of undead, I suggest you retreat to the location of the airship while fighting.
At that time, I will give you a certain amount of air fire cover. ”
Jack nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, thank you for your advice. One last question, how far are we from the mission location?"
"Half an hour! In half an hour we will You will arrive above the mission area. You can start packing your luggage now to prepare for landing. I suggest you bring at least three days of food, a pot of low-alcohol wine, two bottles of healing potion and a bottle of neutralizing plague potion. Plus some other supplies and a fireworks wand used to send signals to the sky."
After saying this, Bol ignored these players and turned around and walked straight towards the core area at the tail. .
Under his command and control, after only half an hour, the airship began to slowly descend in height, and finally lowered the rope ladder more than 20 meters above the ground.
More than one hundred and forty elite players, carrying weapons and luggage on their backs, climbed down from the edge of the pod one after another, and then began to wield axes and saws in their hands to cut down surrounding trees and clear weeds and rocks. , quickly clearing out a large, relatively flat open space.
As for the felled trees, they were not wasted. They were directly tied into wooden rafts and erected as walls to build a simple temporary camp.
After all this was done, they gathered together for a meeting and divided the search range on the map into countless small pieces.
Each team will claim a piece according to the number of people.
As for those "lone wolves" who don't have a team yet, they will temporarily join a team with a small number of people.
Since this is the first mission, and it is still so far away from the floating city, the players are extremely cautious, fearing that they will accidentally hand over their lives here, thereby missing the most exciting and most exciting things. Exciting adventure.
After all, they knew after entering the game that their "resurrection point" was in the floating city. It would take two or three days to fly an airship to such a far place. Even if they were resurrected instantly after death, they would not be able to make it there.
As a combination of only two people, it was inevitable that several people would be added to the team of Jack and Wu Sheng.
These include two warriors, a thief and a warlock.
Yes!
The only solitary seedling warlock among more than 140 players became a member of their team.
It's not that no one wants a warlock who is an orthodox arcane spellcaster, but that this warlock seems a bit unreliable.
Not only is she a girl who is only fourteen years old in real life, but she has also chosen the bloodline of a forest elf plus a woodland creature. She looks frail. She is only less than 1.5 meters tall and has no courage. Very big, even a little afraid of the dark.
In the eyes of elite soldiers, bodyguards and killers, this girl is a complete burden, so no one is willing to take her with them.
Only Wu Sheng felt that the girl was pitiful. At the same time, he believed that the spell caster would definitely be of great use in the future, so he chose to bring it with him to give it a try first.
If we can’t wait until this mission is over, we can go our separate ways.
After informing each other of their names and their specialties, the six-person team headed towards the depths of the dense forest facing the rising sun.
Because the little warlock Caroline's strength attribute is very low, only seven points, she cannot carry too many supplies. The strong Jack took the initiative to take over the girl's backpack.
Because the understanding between each other is very limited, the team seems very boring along the way, and basically no one talks.
But after traveling for about an hour, the situation improved significantly.
To be precise, they encountered a group of wild boars, a creature that was very common in this world before the outbreak of the magic plague.
It's just that they are different from ordinary wild boars. These dozen large and small wild boars are obviously dead. They exude a strong rancid smell, and some of the wounds that are suspected of being bitten also have a large number of scalp-numbing growths. cysts and black and red squirming bugs.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!”
No surprises, the timid Caroline couldn’t even reach it with her soprano. Scream was the first to break the silence among the team members.
