Chapter 16: Recruiting

A cold light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the maid who hugged my legs. I realized that it was too late. I hurriedly raised my legs and wanted to kick her out, but unfortunately I failed. And the other maids were not showing off. The maid who hugged my legs hung tightly on my legs and refused to let go. Although she looked slender, she was a ceramic man and could not be measured by the weight of a human being. Just her size was at least 200 pounds. I couldn't throw her out with this horizontal kick, but another one pounced on the other side. Both legs were trapped, and the action became extremely difficult.

In desperation, I raised my hands up first, and with a sharp sound, my hands were bounced out. My arms suddenly pressed down, and my fists slammed the heads of the maids on both sides at the same time. The first thing I touched was the tip of the claws on their heads, but I suddenly felt a huge impact force coming from my hands. At the same time, accompanied by a sharp sound, the claws actually slid along the heads of the two maids to both sides, and only two sparks were wiped out from their heads.

It is said that there is no diamond, and it does not take care of the porcelain work. It does not consider the meaning of the idiom itself. From the literal understanding alone, you can know that the hardness of porcelain can only be cut by diamonds. It can be said that its actual hardness is comparable to that of glass. The only disadvantage may be that it is fragile. However, fragility is caused by being unable to bend. These dolls are not even a problem when they are made by magic. You can imagine how tough it is. Since it is tough, it will not break. Porcelain without this disadvantage is just as good as diamonds.

All the weapons of both hands were invalid. The two maids looked up and smiled evilly at me. Then the two of them took out a dagger and stabbed me at the same time. Damn, can't you beat me or want me to be a eunuch? You have to hide if you can't escape this kind of attack.

A whirlwind suddenly flashed beside me, instantly changing myself to the silver moon state. "Sun Domain."

The ultra-high temperature instantly made the entire cave look like a crater. The surrounding rocks melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, but my real target did not respond at all. The two maids' daggers were hit, but they didn't hit my vital point. Because Silver Moon was shorter than Zi Ri. After changing the number, the two maids' targets were wrong and they all penetrated into my lower abdomen, almost not turning me into a eunuch.

The maids around rushed up quickly, obviously intending to surround me. The sun field is fatal to most enemies, but there is no way for these maids. The reason is that ceramics are high-temperature resistant materials. The temperature in my sun field is indeed very high, but it does not really reach the temperature of the sun. Of course, ceramics will also evaporate into steam on the sun, but they will not be vaporized in my field.

Seeing the ceramic maids rushing up again, I had to take another approach.

"Sun Summon." The red flames around me suddenly turned golden, and the tendons immediately turned like a volcanic eruption. All my hair began to fly upwards. The tip of the Sun Staff in my hand changed a little, and the head of the rod turned into a pointed cone, and the Sun Staff became the Sun Spear. At the first maid who rushed to me, I suddenly stabbed the spearhead. She relied on her body and did not dodge or avoid the tip of my spear.

This time she made a mistake. Almost the moment before the tip of the gun touched her, her chest suddenly began to melt, and the tip of the gun inserted it without resistance as if it was pierced into liquid. Then countless golden arcs flashed, and the maid melted into a pool of reddish-brown mud substance with an incredible expression, and the surface was still filled with blue smoke.

Without hesitation, I pulled out the gun, turned the gun and pointed it at the maid holding my legs. She looked up at me in surprise, and the tip of the gun was inserted into her mouth. She kept piercing two feet in before stopping, and then her whole body melted into the same material as before.

After dealing with the two maids in a row, I gained some freedom, turned around and retreated a little to avoid the other maids. But it seemed that it was not useful. My demon pets thought I could do it alone at first. So I didn't come out to help, but now I found that I was in danger, of course I rushed up immediately, and the maids who were trying to get close were blocked.

The battle situation suddenly changed very strange. My magic pet, the Ringyin Knights and those ceramic maids, had a single-on-one fight, but both sides fought for a long time, and no one was missing. The maids' attack power was too weak, and they basically did not break the defense unless they were attacked by the vital points, and they had almost no damage to my magic pet. But at the same time, my magic pets also splashed on these ceramic maids, but there was no damage effect. Both sides did not break the defense. This kind of battle had to be exhausted from one side's endurance and could not be taken, and the other side could end it with the vital points. Everyone is an advanced existence, and it is unlikely to grind the opponent by relying solely on basic damage. At this attack frequency, the automatic blood recovery speed was faster than damage, and it was impossible to grind it to death.

It is actually only Lingling and I. Lingling and I. It is a bit difficult to cut ceramics with the Holy Sword of Lingling. However, at least one sword and a big ditch, three or five swords can cut off an arm. I first shook off the last maid on my body. I turned around and shouted Yeyue. Yeyue looked back at me. But she only saw a flying ball. She immediately laughed when she took it. After I summoned the Sun, the Sun Staff in my hand turned into the Sun Spear. The tip of the spear has a real Sun Realm. Although this field only includes the scope of the spear itself, it is enough to make the spearhead become invincible. I threw all the extra eternity to Yeyue. After all, there are only three pieces of equipment that have practical value.

The real combat power of the ceramic maids is actually not high. The stone servants made by the Ghost King are basically the same. They have high defense and combat power. But this defensive characteristic makes people unable to start. When facing these puppets, we are like lions facing turtles. Everyone knows that lions must be stronger than turtles, but they can't do anything with turtles. Among these puppets, the most annoying thing is these ceramic maids. The hardness of ceramics is second only to diamond people among all the puppet materials, but they have many annoying characteristics that diamond people don't have.

Ceramics are resistant to high temperatures, ceramics are not afraid of acid corrosion, and ceramics are high in hardness. In addition, the characteristics of the doll themselves are not afraid of spiritual magic, firm will, no fear of pain, and fast reaction speed. Basically, they are all gathered together. Fighting with such things, they are not beaten to death, but exhausted to death. The first place in the forum ranking of creatures that players least want to fight with is the high-defense magic doll, either they can't beat it or they are afraid of wasting time.

Ye Yue immediately replaced a snake sword after she caught my eternal ground. There were three people on our side who could really do the damage output. But when we changed, the enemy would change even more. One of the maids suddenly turned around and took off his wide robe when I rushed towards her. Don’t think it was wrong, she was not planning to use the beauty trick. She threw the whole piece of clothing over with a swing, covering me, covering my sight. After a few seconds, the robe would become an ordinary ceramic property. The hardened robe turned into a cover and covered my upper body.

Although the ceramic is crisp, it must have enough strength to smash it! Now the ceramic robe is covered with my head, with no gaps at all. It is impossible to use any force. The ceramic maid who threw away the coat immediately rushed up and stabbed me in the exposed belly. The dagger that had just been inserted into my lower abdomen has not been removed yet, and it was hit again. It tasted really bad. It was covered with black paint and black inside the robe. It was so black that it couldn't see anything. According to the feeling of being hit by the knife, I really hit it. While the maid was kicked away, I jumped up and rushed towards the ground.

Bang! What a crisp sound! Although I was thrown into pieces, I at least smashed the cover outside. After I came out, I found that several of my subordinates outside were covered with the cover. The maids all turned into tight-fitting equipment, looking like assassins. It turned out that their wide outer robes were specially worn to cover the assassin's clothing. This set of assassin's tight-fitting clothes were hung with various weapons on the outside, from climbing hooks to long-range crossbows. At first, they were just normal in figures, but now they were really slender and slender. There were so many things in their clothes that didn't look bloated, probably those of them who used clay ceramics. Normal people wouldn't be so slim.

The wide outer robe is not combat equipment. The maids who took off their coats are obviously very fast, and they fly over the eaves and walk around the walls and lightning. I now know that the last ace of the Ghost King is not the four diamond people at all. But these ceramic maids. The oil and gold and silver men are equivalent to the soldiers and low-level officers under the emperor, and the diamond men are just the type of generals. These maids are probably equivalent to the personal guards around the emperor. In terms of combat power, these guards are more powerful, at least the diamond men did not let us be so busy. In fact, we are more unlucky today, just start a war in the passage. If it were a little more empty, it would be better to summon large magic pets to help the battle. What is most afraid of these maids should be super large heavyweight monsters. No matter how hard the ceramics are, it is, there is a limit. They are snapped by big guys like tanks. I can't even break it.

In fact, the game "Zero" seems very unbalanced on the surface, but in fact it is just because it takes a circular balance route. Generally, online games require that each profession be balanced, which means that after eliminating personal factors, everyone can achieve the same combat effect, no matter what profession it is. However, the design idea of ​​"Zero" is circular balance, which is the most familiar principle of Chinese people to reduce one thing. Today, the ceramics people beat so many of our advanced combat powers to the ground without temper, but if I knew from the beginning of today, these ceramic maids were difficult to deal with, just summon the birds immediately.

Why is the flying bird? Because he is the only magic pet who can use oscillation waves. The ultra-high frequency oscillation turnstile restrains hard objects, and the harder it is, the more unlucky it is. Unfortunately, I know it is too late. In this channel, you can indeed summon birds. But it is useless to summon it. The flying birds have no vocal cords, and the ultra-high frequency oscillation he emits comes from his exoskeleton system. Only by telling the flying birds to fill the bone cavity in flight, then vibrate the muscles, and generate ultrasonic shock waves through the resonance of the skeleton cavity with high pressure gas. Therefore, even if the flying birds can fly in this cave environment, they dare not increase the speed too fast, and they cannot generate oscillation waves.

It is because of these reasons that I said that Zero is a circular balance, one thing is reduced, and geographical factors are also cleverly integrated into the game. Unlike the usual games that contain geographical factors, they are actually all forced to modify the combat state with attribute numbers. For example, in many games, cavalry will be forced to increase the damage value in plain battles. This is to attribute the terrain factors, not to really create a geographical environment to affect the battle. However, it is understandable that other games are set up like this. After all, games like Zero are based on physics.

Based on the computing engine, without this physics engine, real environment simulation cannot be implemented in the program. However, after running the physics engine, the burden on the server will increase in geometric ranges. Except for Longyuan's Nuwa series super bio computers, there is currently no computer that can afford such transportation in the world, so there is no way to use real terrain parameters to affect the game. This cannot be blamed on the game designers. They also know that Zero has the best settings, but they do not have such a server, so they can only give up the best solution and adopt a relatively backward solution.

But as of now, I would rather use "Zero" in a backward calculation mode, without this damn cave. I have at least thirty ways to kill all these ceramic maids.

"Be careful." I was depressed, and suddenly the maid who was fighting against a Knight of Ringyin suddenly turned toward me, and I became a state of being attacked by two ceramic maids.

"Beast transformation." I completed the account switching in an instant. After becoming Zi Ri, I quickly turned into a werewolf. I stretched my hands left and right and pressed the heads of the two maids at the same time. Their daggers were still a distance from my body at this time. This is one of the main benefits of becoming a werewolf. My arms are more than parents.

"Lying down, you!" Lingling jumped from a distance and slashed the maid in front of her. I grabbed another maid and spun it and threw it into the distance. She switched back to the Yinyue state again, and threw the Sun Spear out with her hand. She just ran through two.

We all gathered together again, and the maids returned to the Ghost King, but there were only three of them left, and the Ghost King himself was only four of them.

"You know you're awesome, right?" I looked at the Ghost King. "You're really brave enough to play tricks with me!"

The Ghost King said with a smile: "Isn't that overestimating my ability? Since you have proved your courage, why don't I really surrender to your subordinates?"

I lifted my fighting state and said to the Ghost King: "At the beginning, I really wanted to kill you. If you really surrendered at that time, I would kill you." The Ghost King frowned when he heard this. But I quickly said: "But your resistance has changed my mind."

When the Ghost King heard that there was a door, he immediately had hope. "I don't know what you plan to deal with this matter?"

I smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. Do you understand how to eliminate money and disasters?"

"I understand." The Ghost King became energetic as soon as he heard it. "But, I don't have money!"

"Wealth does not equal money. Gold and silver are indeed very useful, but in this world, what money cannot buy is about the same as what it can buy. What I need now is what money cannot buy, but this time I don't buy it with money, but with your life."

“What do you want?”

"The method of making dolls. I got some from you last time. But the dolls I have developed are always not as easy to use as you do, and they are stupid and have little practical value in many aspects. What's more, this time, you have created several new varieties, especially the last ceramic maids, I like them very much. Judging from their performance, they should have medium-level and above wisdom and are quite loyal. Of course I won't let go of such a good thing. If you are willing to teach me how to make dolls like you, I will let you go. This is a transaction. With your skills to buy your life. I won't do the forced buying and selling. You think about it yourself, it doesn't matter if you don't agree."

The Ghost King murmured in a low voice: "You are also called "forcing buying and selling". If you don't sell, I will die. How dare you not sell!"

"What did you say?"

The Ghost King didn't expect that I had such good ears, so he quickly explained loudly: "I mean you are tolerant and are so cheap, so how can I hide my own privately anymore! I am very willing to complete this transaction."

I smiled and said, "Very good, then I don't want your life. I have left you the lives of these three remaining maids, which are considered as gifts. How do you plan to teach me?"

"This teaching method is quite complicated, and I have never written any records. I have to meet those who produce them before I can teach them face to face."

"Okay. Just follow me, but you have to wait before that."

The Ghost King didn't know why I asked him to wait, but he knew it soon. The passage was about to be dug, but the Ghost King was blocked here. The reason was that a huge black steel rock crystal was dug up halfway and blocked the way of the passage. This black steel rock crystal is a very useful ore. Although many people don't know what it does, everyone knows it after a little advance. Because this black steel rock crystal is a black diamond ore. As long as you use a magic device to extract the essence core of the ground black diamond in it and re-forge it, you can get the top-grade black diamond, which is a super dark gem that is even more awesome than black crystal. After the entire black steel rock crystal is completely dissolved, it can produce at least three or four kilograms of high-purity black diamonds. If anyone shouts on the market, I want to sell black diamonds, it will immediately make a group of necromancers break their heads.

Mining ore is not a big deal for me. At least I still have more than 9,000 evil spirit knights and a pioneer to help. Soon, we got this guy down. It was not until it was taken down that we realized that it was actually much smaller than we estimated. The crystal area of ​​this black steel rock is indeed very large. It took me a long time to dig it to the sides before reaching the side, but its thickness is too small, so the volume is not as large as expected. According to this volume, it would be nice to be able to extract three or four ounces of pure black diamonds.

The big guy broke this piece and put it into the Phoenix Dragon Space, then we took the Ghost King away from the cave and went straight to find the weak point of the space.

The weaknesses of the underworld and the human world are like a passage between two places. The number of demons and monsters gathering in this kind of place is very large, but not many people really pass by. There is no trouble when we travel through time. Xiaolongnu can master the art of underworld, and as long as there are not many people, she can take it over. I took most of the demon pets back. Xiaolongnu took me, the Ghost King and his three maids back to the human world, and it is not overloaded.

After I came back, things were much easier. I flew back to the fulcrum city first and then teleported back to Aisinger. Rose knew that I was back when I entered the fulcrum city. She was already waiting for me when I arrived at Aisinger, and Zhenhong and Jinko were also following her.

Zhenhong looked expectant when she saw me, but I could only disappoint her. "Sorry, there might be some information. When I arrived there, the other party was designing to harm me. I couldn't find the RB person who carried the last bottle of holy blood. Then we went from the human world to the underworld, and we really couldn't find it."

Seeing Zhenhong's dim look, Rose immediately comforted: "Zhenhong, don't be discouraged. As long as the thing is still there, we will definitely find it. I will ask the intelligence department to work harder."

Zhenhong is also a cheerful person. Although he is in a low mood, he has no overreaction. "I know this thing is not easy to find, so you don't have to worry about me. Incomplete national weapons are also national weapons, and I won't care too much."

I promised confidently: "Don't worry, really red, I promise to help you find the last bottle of holy blood to help you complete the assembly of the national weapon. This is the first operation, and it's nothing if you don't find it. If you hit every shot, then our local intelligence department is too powerful, right? Anyway, there is system protection, no one can wipe out the bottle of holy blood, so it can still be found."

The gold coins also came up to comfort Zhenhong and said a few words, then took Zhenhong away. I turned around and pulled the Ghost King over. "I will introduce you to me that this is my newly captured prisoner."

"I protest." The Ghost King raised one hand. "I have made a deal with you, I should be a free man."

"The protest is invalid. You haven't taught me yet. You are still a prisoner before that."

The Ghost King was so depressed that he didn't say anything. I said to Rose: "Although this guy is not very friendly, his skills are very good. Remember the servants I got back last time? They are all his things. And this time he has a new invention. Let's take him to the design department now. I believe we can mass-produce dolls soon. Although these things are not very combat-effective, it doesn't cost much to make your own land. Once mass-produced, it's also good to use the quantity to press it."

My bold words are very good, but the actual situation is often not as simple as I think. At least this is how the dolls are mass-produced.

After being taken to our experimental studio, the Ghost King ran around as excited as a child who entered a toy store. He looked at this and played with it, and kept asking the people around him what they were for. However, our technicians didn't know who this guy was yet, so they ignored him.

The Ghost King finally realized that he could not do anything without me, so he ran back honestly and begged me to introduce him to him. I clapped my hands to attract the attention of the researchers around me. "The puppet research team came over and gathered, and arrange some work for you."

Soon a group of people gathered around. The three leading ones were Woma, Lund and Norene. Woma is the technical director of the guild and is usually at the Magic Crystal Dynamics Research Institute. Lund and Norene are two NPCs, one is the apprentice of the puppet expert Jiaha, and the other is the most perfect puppet. Of course, we also need to help with research here.

The Ghost King had no reaction to the two people in front, but after seeing Noreen, his eyes suddenly widened three times. "You, you... are you artificial creatures?"

This time I was a little surprised. "Can you see it?"

The Ghost King may have been too excited and forgot that his life was still in my hands. He said impatiently: "No matter how well-established the magic puppet is, it is still a puppet. When he was called a human, I might not recognize it, but it is impossible now. But her research is different from mine. It seems that she has used a lot of other things."

"Then what is your research like?" Noreen asked with interest.

“My research is based on the soul.”

"Soul? Isn't it based on basic machinery?" Woma also asked.

"Of course not."

Lund also joined in: "Do you know a lot about this? Tell me about your experience quickly."

"Why talk about this...!"

Damn! I was planning to introduce it to the Ghost King. This is a good thing. These guys are all familiar with each other. As they chatted, they walked towards the work area and completely forgot me! Forget it, they are all serving my interests anyway. No boss would think that the employees are too diligent, so let them communicate well!

Following them to the experimental area, the Ghost King saw a lot of things he never dared to think about before, some of which were special materials he could not have done before, and some were expensive super processing equipment. For example, the disposable mold filling equipment is something he didn't dare to think about in his dreams. That thing can process dolls in assembly lines, and accurately control the characteristics of each doll. As long as you make it a human figure, it can be processed no matter what face or dress you want, and by the way, it can be roughly dehydrated for the first time. Ensure that the fired potter has a certain degree of toughness and will not deform because it is too soft.

The Ghost King looked at it for a long time before saying, "Where did you get this thing? What an exaggerated ability!"

Wo Ma said proudly: "Do you know what this is for?"

"I didn't know it at first, but after reading it, I roughly understood its function. But the more I looked at it, the more I was surprised. If I had one or two such a good thing, my army of dolls would not... Alas! A hero would not mention his courage back then!"

I know what the Ghost King means. He wants to have such equipment. The number of his men and men is at least dozens of times higher. No matter how powerful I am, I will still lose when facing so many men and men. At least I will definitely not be able to catch him. To be honest, I have seen the production speed of this machine. Being a man and men is like making rice cakes, one by one, and the speed is so fast.

Lund patted the Ghost King's shoulder and said, "Why did you think of becoming a servant from the soul? The puppets I had before were all based on machinery, and the magic circle was only added for the convenience of command. Later, the president brought back the kind of puppet you made, and we were really surprised."

The Ghost King recalled with some vicissitudes and said, "I can't do anything about it either! At that time, I was still a primary apprentice of the Immortal Sect..."

"Are you from the Immortal Sect?" I was stunned by the Ghost King's words.

The Ghost King said angrily: "Don't interrupt me."

"Okay, you keep going."

"At the beginning, I was really just a little fairy boy. The master just took me into the entrance for a few days. Unexpectedly, I encountered that meeting of Ten Thousand Demons. After that, the demons began to kill innocent people everywhere without following the rules. Many masters were killed in the Immortal Sect. As a result, the gods became angry and began to work together to create the Qiankun Gourd. The demons knew how powerful this gourd was. If they wanted to destroy the Qiankun Gourd in advance, the gods fought with them to protect the gourd. The battle was so dark that it was so dark that it fought for three days and three nights before it ended. At the last moment, the Qiankun Gourd was finally completed, and they sucked the demons in one go, but I stood too close at that time and was caught by a demon and brought into the gourd."

"That's why I saw you in the gourd, right?" I finally knew why the Ghost King claimed to be a disciple of the Immortal Sect but entered the gourd that pretended to be a monster!

The Ghost King did not answer me, but continued, "The gourd was full of demons. They were very angry and were sucked into the gourd. They happened to find that I, a disciple of the Immortal Sect, wanted to kill me to vent my anger. But one of the demons said it was too cheap to kill me once, so they killed me and then input demonic energy into my soul, so that my soul would not dissipate. I am a person in the Immortal Sect, and I could never go back after being exposed to the demonic energy, but I didn't want to get mixed with those demons, so I hid alone at the exit of the bottom of the gourd. At that time, the Qiankun Gourd was created in a hurry. The mana input channel at the bottom was not closed, leaving a big one.

The cave is the passage you saw later. Only I know this secret, but the monsters don’t know it. I was contaminated with the demonic energy and could not go back to the Immortal Sect, and I couldn’t go with the monsters, so I just guarded this passage, which was considered to have some energy into the Immortal Sect. However, the passage was hidden and the demons had never found out where to go out. So I said it was a guard, but in fact there was nothing. When I was bored, I would pinch some clay men and fill some magic power to make stone servants. Later I thought, it would be great if I could restore myself to adults, so I began to study how to input my soul into the human servants.”

Woma said: "So you will start researching from this side, right?"

The Ghost King said: "It's not a bit of a sect! The immortals' military technique and the paper man technique actually have some similar abilities. It's just that people from the immortals thought that these things were just gadgets, so they didn't develop into this."
To be continued...
