Chapter 113 Foreign aid and correct tactics(1/2)
Shortly after I returned to the reward room again, Zhenhong and Jincoin returned to the room one after another. However, the difference between the past was that when the three of us came back this time, the two warriors did not ask us to return to hunt other players, but said to us directly: "Tell you something."
"What's up?"
"It's your guest appearance as Monster Hunter Players."
"What's wrong?" Jin Coin asked.
"Because your previous performance was too brave, we had to put some restrictions on you, otherwise you will be killed by all the players here before you can wait for the next session. Therefore, you can only end your hunting behavior in advance."
"Hey, don't bring such a thing?" Jincoin immediately jumped out and retorted: "You can't deduct our reward just because we performed well. Is it wrong to perform well?"
"Yes, yes, we know you are right, but if we continue like this, the subsequent links will not be able to proceed." The warrior holding a spear said, "We have no choice now, so we will discuss with you to solve this problem."
"Does this kind of thing still need to be discussed? Of course, we will kill all those guys according to the previous agreement." Zhenhong said very directly.
The warrior said in confusion: "I also want to do it as agreed before, but in this way, I really can't enter the next level! Moreover, this is also beneficial to you. Although this problem occurs, there are reasons why our reward design is unreasonable, but if you can't enter the next level, you will not be able to complete the entire level and will be stuck in the mission and will never be able to get out of it."
"Why is it so troublesome?" I asked with a frown: "If we agree to modify the reward, do you have any suggestions?"
"There are three ways to modify the reward." The sword and shield warrior said: "You listen first, and you will decide to see if there is an acceptable choice when I finish speaking. If you are not satisfied, we will negotiate with the method. Do you think it's okay?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, let's listen first if you say it."
"Okay. Our modification method is relatively simple. It is to directly end your hunting process. Then send you to the next level and give you a certain degree of attribute improvement, which is considered to compensate for the losses of this level. The second plan is that you will continue to hunt players, but we will start to release reward tasks now, and then wait for the next level to call a group of players to come in and create obstacles for you. Of course, you will receive corresponding additional rewards. The third plan is that this hunting behavior will be cancelled directly, and this round of mission will no longer compensate you for anything, but you will be given an extra compensation after the overall task is over."
"The first plan is directly eliminated. You can think of this kind of compensation loss." Jin Coin directly rejected the first plan, and I nodded in agreement. This plan seems quite reasonable on the surface. This level reduces our advantages. Compensate us in the next level. But if you change the thinking mode, you will find that it is not the case at all. Although one minus one plus seems to be even, if we do not decrease in this level, then the next level will not exist at all. Why do you have to work hard to get any compensation? So, this kind of thing is equivalent to deducting the timely help charcoal, and then adding one more when you add icing on the cake. Do you think these two situations are equal?
The soldiers over there didn't care about our rejection of a plan, but asked, "Do you think the other two can be adopted?"
"You tell us first what the additional compensation in the third plan is? We have to know the value comparison between the two sides before we can decide on the trade-off, right?"
The soldier holding the gun said, "Sorry. All we can do is tell you that this so-called compensation is actually just news, and this news is related to a very important reward for you in the future."
When I heard this uncertain answer, the gold coins immediately began to pester the other party and wanted the other party to tell the specific type of news. I frowned and pondered. Generally speaking, if I could tell us, the other party would definitely say it directly. This is not a commercial negotiation, so there is no bargaining. Since the other party doesn't say it, it is usually something that cannot be said. However, in general, the more the other party doesn't say it, the more likely it is to be a good thing, because only the good thing system needs to be restricted. Otherwise, if it is an irrelevant thing, what else can the system limit it? Anyway, it's the same whether you know it or not.
"No need to ask, let's choose the third plan." I directly interrupted the gold coins and said.
Jin Coin just wanted to get more information, so he didn't continue to get entangled when he heard that I had made a decision. The two soldiers on the other side immediately agreed to the decision.
Without our interference, the remaining players finally completed this level task quickly. As for me and the gold coins, we no longer need to continue completing the task, because the lucky ball we got in the reward level just now had already unblocked all the sealed things on us.
When those players completed their mission, we were all collectively teleported to the entrance of the third level, which is the back garden of this villa.
This is a garden that has been abandoned for a long time. Various vines grow everywhere without anyone's management. The surrounding buildings and roads are full of these climbing plants, so the whole garden now looks like a large net of plants. It can be seen that the original shape is the fountain in the center of the garden and the surrounding building exterior walls.
The referee who had not appeared in the previous level finally reappeared in this level. Then he glanced at the people present and said, "I didn't expect that the reduction in personnel is so powerful!"
When the referee said this, the players did not react much, but Jin Coin and Zhenhong both cleared their throats awkwardly. After all, these guys were killed by us because of the serious reduction in personnel. With the number and level of monsters here, although they could not pass the level without loss, they would never die so many people, which made only four players left in the level except for the three of us, and the elimination rate was too high.
Fortunately, the four people on the opposite side and the referee didn't pay attention to us. After sighing that there were so many staff members, the referee began to say: "Now what you are going to do is the last level of this mission and the most difficult level. In this level, you will default to two action groups. You four are in a group, as challengers, and the three of you are in a group, which are considered defenders. The Challenger team will be qualified to take the lead. You can start the mission ten minutes ahead of the defender, and then you need to start from here and use various things along the way to set up mechanisms to intercept the defender team behind them."
"Referee, this is unfair." One of the four people over there stood up and shouted: "Not one of the four of us can set traps. We can't intercept them at all in a while. Isn't this equivalent to letting them pass?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood." The referee said: "You can gain two abilities after starting the mission, one is the realization of thinking, and the other is the vision of will. The so-called four realizations means that you can realize your imagination, for example, you can imagine a monster appearing in front of you. Then the monster will appear. The fighting style, combat power, appearance and various attributes of this monster are all composed of your own imagination, and the degree of freedom is great. It can be said that the magic of your imagination is, the magic of these manifestations is."
"Hey, they are happy that you are like this, but what should we do?" Jinzi stood up and asked: "If they directly manifest a row of main god-level existences, will we even fart? They were knocked down in just a few seconds!"
The referee explained to us again: "You don't have to worry about this. Although the realization is ever-changing, the total energy output is certain. Therefore, they cannot realize existences that exceed your own energy level. Also, the number of their realizations is limited at one time. Each person's maximum realization is eight, that is, more than eight items or creatures cannot be realized at one time. In addition, your realization is not just realization of non-existent creatures, but you can also use nearby facilities according to the environment. For example, you can turn these vines in the garden into magic plants to attack them, or turn walls into plywood, and turn the ground into traps. In short, realization does not have to be fabricated out of thin air. The hiddenness based on actual existence will be greatly improved, and realization of creatures or traps will be more powerful than directly fabricated out of thin air."
"With such a terrifying ability, won't we be miserable afterwards?" I asked at the referee.
Before the referee could answer, one of the four people over there said first: "You wanted to be the defending team to change it? Let you have the ability to realize it, and we will pass the level." After the woman finished speaking, she said: "Think about it, we can only realize it eight times in total. If you break through, you can only stare at me. This advantage is too great. If you think it is unfair, we will change it."
After the woman finished speaking, the referee immediately said: "No, no, no, you misunderstood. The maximum number of manifestations for each of you is eight things, not that you can only show them eight times. Your manifestations are infinite, but there can only be eight items at the same time. If you want to show the ninth item, you must make an item automatically cancel, or wait until it is killed by them, and the number is less than eight can continue to show them. In addition, there is another limitation that the manifestations must be at least ten meters away from all the defenders team members, and it is not allowed to show them directly around the other party."
"Damn, isn't this going to kill us?" Jin Jin complained.
"This is your mission, the difficulty is for you, of course your difficulty is higher than the challenger." The referee said with confidence, and we can't refute what he said.
"Referee, what is our other will vision ability for?" The strong white man suddenly asked.
The referee immediately replied: "The effect of will vision is that you can see the position you want to see, without being affected by distance and obstacles. Therefore, you don't have to approach the defending team and directly participate in the attack. Of course, it is okay if you want to get close to the defending team and directly participate in the battle. However, I suggest you keep a distance. The energy levels of the creatures or mechanisms you have created are comparable to those of the defending team. However, this value is definitely higher than that of you, so you are actually not as powerful as the creatures you have created. Direct participation in the battle is simply to die, and if one person is missing, the interception of the authenticated items the opponent faces will be reduced, which is equivalent to reducing the difficulty of the opponent. Your correct tactic is to use the will vision to observe whether the target has destroyed the intercepted creatures or traps you set. If there is any, immediately add or modify the characteristics of the trap at the previous distance according to the situation you see, and strengthen its lethality or something."
"This ability is easy to use." The white man opposite was obviously very proud.
Jin Coin said painfully: "I feel that there is no hope in this game! I knew that I should have chosen the first reward change plan just now!"
"We didn't expect this level to be so perverted!" Zhenhong said.
I comforted them and said, "Don't worry. There should be a solution. We performed so well in the previous two games. It is said that this level will not be difficult to achieve this. There must be something we haven't discovered, and the referee's rule description may not be over."
My analysis was very accurate, and the referee did follow. "Because the additional skills that the challenger has are too strong, the strength of the defending team in this level will be completely restored to normal and the attributes will no longer be suppressed. In addition, since the defending party discovered the reward level and perfectly guided the reward level in the previous level, he will receive an additional reward." The referee paused and then continued: "According to the regulations, the defending party successfully destroyed the sculpture in the reward level, so according to the regulations, each sculpture will give you a chance to clear the field. That is, when you feel necessary, you can clear the field within the surrounding line of sight. At this time, all traps or creatures that are manifested by the opponent in your line of sight will be eliminated regardless of whether they are discovered by the party or not."
"Hey, hey, hey. This is too naughty, right?" The white man opposite shouted when he heard this reward. They really don't want us to get the extra reward.
The referee ignored his shouting at all. He said directly: "Because the defending party destroyed ten sculptures, you can get ten clearance opportunities. The clearance opportunities can be activated by any person in the team. Just shout out loud and it will take effect immediately."
"What a joke? Ten chances. They used this thing to clear the field and push it to the end!" The players on the opposite side obviously felt that our reward was too much.
The referee responded to them this time and explained: "This is the reward they made by themselves in the reward level, and I can't change it. As for the level that depends on ten clearances, it is absolutely impossible to push to the end. Although the level behind is not very long, it is definitely not short. Not to mention ten clearances, even a hundred times may not be able to clear the end. This level is not in the wild, and the line of sight is very small, so the so-called clearance can only clear a small area nearby, and the coverage area is actually very narrow. The main purpose is also to rescue emergency at dangerous moments."
Hearing the referee's explanation, the few people there finally calmed down, but the referee quickly said: "In addition, because the defending party defeated all the throwing stone statues before the time limit reaches, you can get a perfect reward, that is, an additional player can participate in the last level. Note that this invitation quota must be agreed to by the other party before pulling the other party into the task. If the other party refuses, it cannot be pulled in. You only have three invitation opportunities in total. If no one agrees for three consecutive times, the reward will be automatically invalidated."
"Add to pull extra people?" I asked in surprise: "Is this counting the number of people in our mission?"
There was no limit on the number of participants before the task started, so theoretically, I could pull the entire guild in before starting the task. However, the task scroll clearly states that the difficulty of this task is proportional to the number of participants. Therefore, this task actually requires that the higher the individual combat power of the participants, the better, not the more people, the better, because if the combat power of the participants is lower than the minimum strength standard for completing the task, the more participants, the more likely the task will fail. This is also why I pulled Zhenhong before and only participated in the gold coins. Zhenhong was to let her test her new soul armament, and she was also very strong
, the ranking is very high. As for gold coins, it was originally to help her with the tasks and equipment, so of course she had to come. As for our guild, I am also the most powerful player in the world, so I naturally couldn't escape this kind of thing. In this way, I decided that the three of us would participate in the mission. As for more experts, I didn't find it, but I felt that it was useless to find it. When looking for other people, the combat power was comparable to ours at most, so there would be no obvious change in the average combat power. In this case, there would be no meaning in many people. However, now the referee actually asked me to pull another person in, but in this case, if the difficulty also increases, what is the reward? Isn't it the same whether I can pull people or not?
Sure enough, the referee quickly replied: "This is a reward, so the number of people who are inviting them is not counted as the number of people who do the task, and there will be no additional difficulty."
"Is that true? That's great, can we invite people to attend now?"
"Of course, just say the person you want to invite. I will help you open the communication channel for your communication."
"Chris Dena." I said without hesitation: "Help us invite Cris Dena to the mission."
"Okay." As the referee said, a huge water mirror suddenly appeared in front of us. Then through our water mirror, we could see that Kelisdena, wearing dazzling crystal armor, was being held in mid-air by magic elements that were so strong that the naked eye could see. Her right hand was holding the staff tightly to point forward, and a large number of dense magic missiles were formed in front of her, and then swarmed towards the front like a swarm of bees coming out of her nest. In front of her was a large snowfield, which was densely packed with the most common players and various NPC creatures in Russia. However, at this time, the battlefield of tens of thousands of people was so blasted by Kelisdena's magic that it could not be raised. This dense magic missile was no less than the dense shooting of the rocket launcher group. Even if the opponent had a large number of people, he was defeated step by step under such magic-scrubbing attacks. He could not move forward at all.
The players from the four challenger teams opposite couldn't help swallowing, and then sighed: "So fierce!"
"Huh?" They just finished complaining. Kris Dena noticed the water mirror beside her, and then turned her head and saw us. "President? Are you not doing the task? What's going on?"
"We encountered a little problem with the mission. We got a chance to call foreign players, so you can help."
Kris Dena nodded and said, "Give me thirty seconds."
I looked at the referee, and the other party immediately replied: "Each invitation is one minute, and you still have forty-eight seconds."
"Enough."
After being confirmed, Kris Dena immediately interrupted the magic and began to chant spells. When the Russian players below found that they had time, they immediately started to fight back. As soon as they turned around, they were flooded with artillery fire from us. Not only are the players in this guild, but our various heavy weapons are not weak either.
The Russian players there had just adapted to the artillery attack. Before they had time to organize a counterattack, the artillery was suddenly interrupted. Then, Kelis Dena suddenly raised her hand and pointed forward. Then a black dot suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield ahead. As soon as this point appeared, it immediately began to grow larger, and it expanded into a huge sphere with a diameter of more than 500 meters in less than three seconds. Then when it reached this limit volume, the sphere immediately began to retract and disappeared completely in the air in just two seconds. However, as the black balls opened and shrank, a blank area with a diameter of more than 500 meters appeared on the battlefield as if it was bitten by some kind of monster. Except for a deep pit on the ground, the snow, land and Russian players that were originally in that area disappeared completely, and there was no residue left.
"My God..." The four players who were watching the battle next to him were all frightened by this magic. The magic just now seemed silent, but this power plane was a little too terrifying, right? The diameter of five hundred meters covered at least thousands of players and monsters! It was all gone in just a flash. How powerful is it?
Not enough to care about their surprise, I just asked Kris Dyna over there, "Okay?"
Kris Dena nodded and turned toward Shuiming and asked, "How can I get over? Just get in from here?"
The referee replied on behalf of us: "Just walk in directly."
After hearing this, Kris Dena flew towards us immediately, and then immediately entered the mission world here.
"Wow, the courtyard here is so unique." Looking at the garden where weeds are overgrown, Kris Dena called out directly.
Instead of talking to her, we directly reminded her to do the task later, and told her what the referee said again. Kris Dena was not under much pressure after listening. Because our advantages were obvious. The four people had already taken advantage of the other party's authentic products, not to mention that we still had ten chances to clear the field. As long as the situation was wrong, they would just clear the field directly.
Compared to the relaxation of our side, the four people on the opposite side were not calm. Although they wanted to find the referee to argue, they also knew that it was useless, so the few people didn't say anything and asked the referee if they could start. After getting the referee confirmed, they left here first. As agreed, they had ten minutes of preparation time. We had to wait for them to complete the first blocking trap during this period before we could set off.
Ten minutes didn't take long, and after the referee announced that we could start, we ran towards the opposite side of the garden immediately.
There is a large iron gate behind this abandoned garden, and behind that gate is another garden, but it is slightly larger than the garden on our side, and there are many trees in that garden. So we can only see half of the garden, and the other half is blocked by trees. Behind those trees is a castle building, which looks quite large.
After the mission started, we first rushed through the garden at the fastest speed. This part was always within our sight, so we could see it and be sure there were no traps or something.
After passing the small woods that blocked our sight before, the scene in front of us was a little stunned. We were originally separated by the woods and thought that there was a castle directly behind us, but unexpectedly, a moat appeared in front. Although it was not wide, it had a span of seven or eight meters. There was a floating bridge on this moat because it was a soft connection. Therefore, the bridge deck was a little shaking with the ups and downs of the river. Opposite the bridge was the castle gate.
Originally, for us, the bridge and moat were not obstacles. We could fly directly in, but now at the entrance of the castle opposite there was a faint arrow made of smoke pointing inside. So we could only look over there. The referee just told us that there would be arrows along the way to indicate our route, so we could not run around, we could only follow the arrow.
"I think there must be monsters that the other party has shown in this river." As soon as I saw the gold coins of the river, I directly determined that the river was unsafe, and the opinions of others and me were basically the same. After all, the river water is the best cover, and it is absolutely easy to hide something under the water. The other party should not give up on this best hidden point.
"Since we know it's a trap, what should we do?" asked Kris Dyna.
"Or what if I do a fire reconnaissance first?" Zhenhong suggested.
I nodded and looked at Kris Dena and said, "Please trouble you."
Kris Dena nodded and took off directly, and then in the will of the four teams of challengers opposite, he made the same attack when he entered the mission. He didn't even look at her chanting spells or doing anything, at least a few thousand magic missiles appeared out of nowhere. Then these magic missiles seemed to be the athletes who heard the order guns, and the moat and the pontoon bridge in front seemed to be bombed. The pontoon bridge was blown away instantly, and the river water in the river was also overturned. The silt at the bottom of the river was blown up. Not to mention monsters, even ordinary little fish should not expect to hide it.
The bombing lasted for more than ten seconds and ended, but the area at the gate of the castle was already devastated. It was just a feeling of abandoning the castle before, but now it was a ruin of war. If Kris Dena hadn't deliberately adjusted the target of attack for fear of the explosion and closing the gate, she might have no longer existed.
"It's so strange, there are no traps." Kris Dyna, who landed on the ground, said.
I shrugged helplessly and said, "There is no way, the initiative is in the hands of others, we can only passively guess. Whether to put the trap or not is the only way to do, and we have nothing else to do except be careful."
In fact, the behavior of guessing others' judgments in various film and television works is very unreliable. Humans are the most complex creatures, and any little accident may change a person's idea. Unless you use special instruments to detect a person's neural structure and then observe and study it for decades based on the examined neural characteristics, you cannot predict a person's accurate thoughts at all. Of course, rough behavioral judgments can be inferred, but the risk is also very high, and the accuracy rate can reach 80% is considered to be your luck. Therefore, speculations on other people's behavior can only be used in two situations. One is that there is no other better way, so you can only do this. The other is that things are not important. Just guessing it casually is the best, and it doesn't matter if you are wrong.
We just bombed the moat because it didn't matter. We made all the guesses, but the other party obviously made the guesses. We guessed that the other party would definitely ambush monsters here, so we bombed the moat for fire reconnaissance. The other party guessed that we must be suspecting that they were hiding monsters here, so we simply gave up on this place, and there was no possibility of a surprise attack anyway.
Although the guess on both sides is that we failed and the other party succeeded, this cannot be said that the other party is smarter than us, it can only be said that we are not lucky. Or vice versa, it is not that we are not lucky. Instead, we are more cautious.
Because we knocked down the pontoon bridge, we couldn't walk over the bridge. Fortunately, we all flew. This distance is not a problem. The gold coins and Kris Dena took off and floated over. Zhenhong and I were even more direct, and jumped over with one acceleration.
To be continued...
