After clockwork guns of different shapes appeared in the world, players understood one thing: flintlock guns are not invincible.

Only something that goes beyond the developer's design framework can be invincible.

The appearance of the clockwork gun proves that the firearm was already in the developer's design, but because it appeared too late, everyone mistakenly thought that the thermal weapon developed by the player was a "cheating weapon" - of course, Yunmeng gave

The achievements are also very misleading...

Since it is something that exists in the original game, of course it cannot be invincible.

The kick-off challenge between Shui Hua and Xia Yi really verified this point——

For the first six companies, the flintlock rifle is extremely effective. As long as it hits, it can severely damage the opponent and seal the victory.

In the six houses in the middle, the effectiveness of flintlock guns began to weaken, and the difficulty of hitting was much higher. Even if they hit, they would not be able to solve the battle with one shot.

In the last six companies, flintlock guns are no longer more effective than concealed weapons. The moment the weapon is taken out, the NPC will immediately become alert, and often the NPC will already dodge or block while taking aim.

The battle is still very difficult.

Thanks to the information provided by water friends, I received tasks from two NPCs named [Yue Han] and [Wei Ke], and learned a martial arts secret book called [Bow Fighting], which made up for it to a certain extent.

After overcoming the shortcomings in melee combat, Splash finally completed the last six gyms.

That's why it took them so long to catch up with the main force.

Lin Shun just wanted to play with Shui Hua, so he didn't care.

But Shui Hua was a little concerned and wanted to make some progress for Lin Shun.

So when Fang Qianzhi accepted the mission, she asked very carefully:

"What does the [relic] you are talking about look like?"

"Won't these [relics] be corroded after such a long time?"

"As for these [relics], are they strong? Will they be smashed, broken, or soaked?"

…

Fang Qianzhi's answer was: "No! Objects that can be called [legacy] are invulnerable to fire and water and will never decay. Even books are made of the most precious materials and can be passed down for generations.

"

"That's it..." Shuihua nodded and accepted the task.

But she did not go to the underground passage leading to the city. Instead, she pulled Lin Shun and Xia Yi back to the ground and expressed her thoughts:

"Otherwise...let's flood the city!"

"Ah?" Xia Yi and Lin Shun were both stunned.

One of them was thinking about gambling for good luck, and the other was thinking about what preparations needed to be made in advance, and they completely failed to follow the idea of ​​​​Splash.

"Look..." Shui Hua explained to these two silly geese who could only say "Ah", "Start from this underground tunnel and walk one kilometer east to reach the bronze gate of Guan City. Let's estimate it on the map.

,Government City should be located just below Furong Garden!"

"You mean...Qujiang Pool?" Lin Shun reacted, "Pour all the water from Qujiang Pool into the government city?"

This outrageous thought made him open his mouth, and he couldn't help but imagine the scene of Wanjun Lake falling from the sky.

Xia Yi is not as naive as Lin Shun. Shui Hua believes everything she says. She raises the question rationally: "The question is, how to pour water into the ground? Even if the two places overlap, how many people are needed to dig it down?"

"We can't recruit a thousand players to work as coolies, right?"

"Also, it's hard to say how big the city is. What if it's full? We can't fish out the [relics] underwater, right?"

Shui Hua's eyes lit up and she answered Xia Yi's question seriously: "It shouldn't be enough if it's full. I've watched a few live broadcasts. Someone heard the sound of the underground river below. It should be leading to the outside, otherwise the air wouldn't be so good."

adequate."

"More importantly: such a big city cannot have only one entrance and exit as narrow as a secret passage, otherwise it would not be built at all. Yunmeng would not do such an illogical thing. It's just that we haven't found the entrance yet."

"As for how to retrieve the [Relic]... let's follow the water! You can find the exit by following the water, and then just pick up the garbage at the exit. Even if you can't pick up the [Relic], the monsters and mechanisms in the mechanism city will be destroyed.

It’s almost there, it will definitely be much easier to find.”

"Finally, how to pour the water down... Do you remember how we descended from the surface to hell in "Terria"?"

Xia Yi was confused by this series of thoughts and did not react immediately.

Lin Shunze followed Shui Hua's train of thought and gave the answer without hesitation: "Hell Express!"

[Hell Express]: The standard gameplay in "Terarraria" is to use a detonator to blast a deep well downward at the spawn point, and go all the way vertically until you reach hell.

Xia Yi blinked: "Do we have so many explosives?"

It is now the fifth day of the game's release. Gunpowder is no longer as rare as it was in the early days. Players can get some. But it is far from enough to blow up a passage.

But this was not a problem at all. She once again introduced a new concept: "We can crowdfund!"

"Crowdfunding?" Xia Yi was stunned again.

"Yes, crowdfunding! As long as you donate a barrel of explosives, you can participate in the big search of the city! As long as it is not our mission item, they can take whatever else they want!"

Xia Yi always felt that this was too random, but after thinking about it, besides being a bit outrageous, this idea seemed to have nothing wrong with it.

Over there, Lin Shun was already boasting: "What a genius idea! The show is very effective, let's get started!"

"Hey, hey, hey..." Xia Yi just wanted Lin Shun to calm down and think about it again, but found that the water friends in her live broadcast room had already started to sign up passionately:

“Count me in, count me in!”

"I'll donate 5 buckets! Give me one!"

"Three barrels, I don't need anything, I just want to see the scene!"

"I only have one bucket, but I can be used as free labor. I'm good at digging holes."

"The five-year-old civil engineering guy came here uninvited!"

…

Then Xia Yi understood: There is no need to persuade her anymore.

Regardless of whether this plan works or not, it has successfully aroused the enthusiasm of so many players. Now they are all enthusiastic and bringing their own explosives and dry food, hoping to join in the fun.

The "Equipment and props can be taken as you please" picture painted by Shui Hua is actually not important. Her idea alone is enough to attract a large number of enthusiastic players.

"Okay..." Xia Yi accepted her fate and started to pull people, "Remember to make the gunpowder into a barrel of explosives before you come back!"

On the other side, Lin Shun also started to attract people, and soon Fang Qianzhi’s backyard was packed to the brim.

Everyone left Quchifang and came to Furong Garden. While summarizing information to the civil engineering brother, they selected the best explosion location, and at the same time assigned 10 people with the authority to attract people, and continued to attract people here.

Fifteen minutes later, Brother Tumu selected his position, and the recruiting process came to an end for the time being.

More than 300 people carrying several times the number of explosive barrels, carrying shovels and backpacks gathered not far from the lake. Most of the NPCs nearby took the initiative to retreat, but a few uncharacteristically came over to watch the fun.

Everyone knows the security early warning mechanism. In order to prevent accidental injuries and attracting the army, not only do these NPCs be driven away, but a team is also set up to drive away approaching NPCs.

Then without any delay, three explosive barrels were thrown into the small pit dug by the civil engineering brother, and the fuse was lit to explode——

"boom!"

The distance was too close, and everyone felt like the earth was shaking.

However, the crater created by the explosive barrel was not very deep, but rather large in area - a large crater two meters deep and more than eight meters in diameter appeared on the spot.

The old man kept up his efforts, dug a pit at the bottom, put in a barrel of explosives and detonated it.

"boom!"

This time the effect was much better, the explosion power was relatively concentrated, and the soil was blown upwards by more than five meters.

The civil engineering brother checked the depth of the pit, then looked at the soil that was blasted out of the pit, and quickly came to a conclusion -

"No need to clear the soil."

"Most of the soil was 'disappeared' by the gunpowder explosion."

——Obviously, in order to save computing power, Yunmeng did not model each grain of soil individually.

If you use a shovel to dig, you will definitely get a lot of soil in one shovel. But when you use explosives to explode, Yunmeng will not calculate the whereabouts of each piece of soil. Instead, it will directly destroy the soil within the explosion range, and then give you a splash of soil.

special effects.

The soil on site was all leftover after satisfying the special effects, and the amount was actually very small.

Everyone then threw away their tools for digging and clearing the pit, and started throwing explosive barrels into the bottom of the pit one after another.

Dull explosions sounded again and again, the ground beneath my feet trembled endlessly, and finally there was no sign of the NPC running away.

The hole is getting deeper and deeper.

Until the explosive barrel was thrown down again, there was no sound of landing. It took a long time before a faint explosion sounded.

Shui Hua and Xia Yi ran to the hole alertly and looked down.

Although they could only see a blur of white light, they still thought that the passage had reached the machine city!

Otherwise, where would the white light come from more than a hundred meters deep underground?
