There is great terror between life and death.
Between life and death, there is epiphany!
After walking through the hell gate for a while, and regaining silence in the basement, Somo looked at the ceiling, and thoughts began to flood into Somo's mind like never before.
Before experiencing the danger last night, Soma was still an ascetic who was forging ahead with regard to the development of the depression and the situation that mankind would face. He could only rely on his physical body to move forward step by step.
But after seeing the true colors of several neighbors, he realized it!
In fact, no race can be an all-rounder, and no race can achieve success in every aspect.
The dwarves' ability to make tools is extremely outstanding, and even mining extremely difficult coal mines is not a problem for them.
Relying on the ability to build old weapons, they can easily complete the process of attacking the territory with explosive troops, and gain a huge advantage in the early stage to establish a victory later.
Such a development curve, in a MOBA game, is like a small soldier with a large number of people.
Of course, the reason why they are small soldiers is because even if they have old weapons, it is difficult for them to achieve a one-on-one victory when facing humans.
Only by relying on the stacking of people and the accumulation of resources to create crushing weapons can we gain an advantage.
Once the weapons and equipment of both parties are the same, relying on the body of the dwarf and matching it with other creatures will basically give away the head.
The Demon Soul Tribe is good at disguise, has the ability to spy on intelligence, and promote the benefits of other races to feed itself back. Its significance is roughly equivalent to that of an auxiliary hero.
Correspondingly, they are significantly weaker in combat.
Even though it has high-end combat power like the Flame Dragon, in battles between the same races, it can still only be beaten by others while riding on it, and even hit its hometown!
Cyborgs are good at fighting. At low levels, they only need to constantly replace their body parts, and their combat effectiveness can skyrocket. This is equivalent to being a tank hero who is tough in the early stage and weak in the later stage.
When facing the large army of the Demon Soul Clan, they struck hard, and all of them were good fighters.
But when facing the Flame Dragon, they could only retreat in despair, unable to come up with any corresponding countermeasures.
This proves that in terms of high-end combat power, they are definitely inferior to the Demon Soul Clan.
Moreover, through insinuations with people like the Chosen Team, Sumo also figured out their shortcomings!
The economy of the Bright Empire shrank extremely, everyone was addicted to martial arts, and very few people were engaged in production.
These people are all thinking about muscle. As a result, even high-level players have very little money left in their hands. It is impossible to stimulate a virtuous economic cycle and feed it back to the collective.
From the collected information, it can be clearly seen that the development directions of the three are different, and the advantages of their involvement are also different.
Dwarves are good at development and want to crush others through economy and technology.
The Demon Soul Tribe is good at disguise and infiltration, and wants to win by relying on their innate advantages and high-end combat power.
Cyborgs are good at fighting, and they want to rely on random punches to kill their masters in the early stage to gain a development advantage.
Although their shortcomings are as obvious as their advantages and cannot be ignored, without any exception, they have a very accurate idea of their positioning and have no intention of changing it!
In other words, they clearly know their development direction.
Between balanced development and extreme development, they chose a path to darkness and expanded their advantages to the extreme!
And this is exactly what you want to win when fighting between races.
The truth!
"The human body is too weak. Even if we learn to transform people and try to become stronger, it will be difficult to improve our combat awareness and reach level six or below, making us invincible at the same level!"
"Similarly, even if I install camouflage marks on everyone, it is difficult for these people to have the smoothness and talent of the Demon Soul Clan."
"Including the dwarves' technology, even if I take it back, when they really need to use it, most people's first reaction is to find a way to make a tool to replace it!"
"In the past, I always wanted to do well in every aspect and not fall behind others, but it is precisely this that has led to the fact that so far, I am still confused and can't see the way forward!
"
"What we need to do at this stage is actually not how to innovate, how to study and imitate other people's good things after seeing them. What we should really do."
“Technology comes back!”
Most of the alien races in the New World are relying on the knowledge they have inherited to compete for survival.
But as human beings with thousands of years of history, they have given up their own advantages to learn from others and find ways to compete in other people's fields.
After understanding this, Sumo felt a little lucky.
There is no doubt that the Flame Dragon is indeed powerful.
According to the power of the previous shock wave and its huge size, if it really breaks out, its destructive power will definitely be no less than that of a missile that cleans the ground in a small area!
But in a sense, his "early" appearance is not actually bad news.
The reason why the trump card is terrifying is because of his uncertainty and explosiveness.
Once people know about it, it doesn't deserve to be called a trump card, it can only be regarded as a high-level threat.
Judging from the performance of the Flame Dragon and the haste of the Cyborg's retreat, Somo temporarily figured out the limits of the combat power of several parties.
Intercontinental missile level!
Not too low, but definitely within the range of cognition.
"The game has not taken away my Hope, and there is a high probability that the Flame Dragon will not be allowed to go out to show off its territory in the early stage. Otherwise, most of the territories without trump cards will have to be played out. This is not what the game wants to see!"
"So, this period of time, this long winter, is actually the development time left by the game for everyone, allowing everyone to make the most of the inheritance of their own race."
"And once the real dispute begins, as restrictions are gradually relaxed, those who have not fully understood this level of theory may have to be beaten!"
Winter spreads for two months, and the time is neither long nor short.
At the very least, if Depression focuses on reviving human technology and doesn't get involved in any other fields, it can at least return to the steam age.
By that time, basic productivity and technological force will be available.
Every ordinary person will have a combat power of level 4 or above, and will not suffer in territorial disputes.
"Looking at it this way, this adventure is not without its rewards."
"As long as we can return to the depression as soon as possible, these gains will be quickly converted into strength!"
Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.
A serious injury resulted in five cubic meters of imported goods, hundreds of marks and corresponding high-level templates.
Coupled with the control of the future direction, it can be said to be a huge profit.
At the same time, after making a plan to return to the shelter in the evening, Sumo condensed in his heart and had a plan in his mind.
As soon as eight o'clock passes, switch your body and take out a liter of psionic water.
According to previous experience, drinking so much psionic water will definitely make a full recovery from the current injury.
But at this time, Somo was not in a hurry to use it all. Instead, he only took out about a hundred milliliters and poured it on some small wounds that affected his movement.
After a few minutes of fusion and absorption, and as the effect of the psionic water was fully exerted, although some large wounds were still shocking, there were finally not many problems with basic activities.
Supporting the wall, Soma took another 50 ml of water to relieve internal injuries, put the remaining water in the dark compartment under the pillow, and stood up unsteadily.
"Shopkeeper, why don't you take a rest?"
Seeing that Somo was walking frivolously and that he might fall down at any time, the mercenary who helped open the basement door shrank his head.
"No need, let's find Shinichi, Shinji, and Turner."
After struggling to crawl out of the door and taking a few deep breaths, Somo sat down on the completely changed snow.
Even at eight o'clock in the morning, the wind and snow in the sky still showed no signs of letting up.
Although it weakens slightly in size at night, looking at this magnitude, it can last at least for most of the day.
"Hey, my brother, you were seriously injured just now, what are you doing out here?"
"It's so chaotic outside. If something goes wrong, how do you ask me to explain to my dead parents?"
From a distance, I saw Somo sitting still panting, and Turner dropped his hat on the ground while running in a hurry.
The Demon Soul Tribe has basically no experience of being seriously injured.
No matter how brave and skilled a warrior is, the experience of encountering such an injury is rare.
Naturally, they have no experience in caring for the injured.
When Somo was picked up last night, everyone had those huge and scary wounds. If the tool man hadn't simply bandaged them, everyone would have been scared to death on the spot.
And during the day, they can only be like other ordinary people, frantically looking for medicine and cures everywhere.
As for whether he was found or not, Turner's current performance is enough to explain it!
"It's okay, I know my physical condition myself."
"Quickly, help me go to the inner city. This opportunity has been missed. If we want to wait for the next one, we don't know when!"
Pointing to the blue mark on his neck, Somo's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of enthusiasm.
For other people's difficult injuries, with psionic water, the problem is not that big at all.
But it is not easy to find a reason why you must become stronger for safety after being injured.
If it was normal and he was injured, in order to better control the two of them, he would then control the Xinhuo Exchange.
The escort team can find an excuse to strengthen security and not go out and take risks to fight back the request.
But now, the invading cyborgs have just left, and the shop has been burned down by the cyborgs.
Adding the two together, no matter how many reasons the escort had, they could not refuse the two people's urgent need to improve their marks and then increase their strength.
And as long as it can be upgraded to the purple mark, it directly represents the fifth-level thorn tree man card.
With permission to load!
Of course, Turner knew clearly about this point, which one was more important.
"Go now, what if they fight us back on the grounds that after the war, the mark upgrade will not be available for the time being?"
"No, they will definitely agree!"
After decisively interrupting Turner's words, Somo simply closed his eyes and began to recover from his mental exhaustion.
Seeing his appearance, Turner had no choice but to order Shinichi and Shinji to pull up a cart, put Soma on it, and pull him toward the inner city.
It is different from the peace and harmony before.
After the war, Liberty City was devastated!
Not counting some of the shops burned down by the reformers, the destruction caused by the flame dragon's three breaths alone covered most of the buildings in the outer city.
Nowadays, you can encounter huge boulders and civilians lying on the ground and wailing at any time on the road.
Even with the guards maintaining order, there are still quite a few people digging frantically in the ruins, and occasionally burst into cheers when they find a good piece of material.
With a third-level dwarf craftsman as the leader and two second-level template combat professions as protection, the cart's path forward was not smooth.
Especially after seeing that the person lying on top was the famous Hal.
Those who ridicule mock, those who throw stones throw stones.
Although no one really dared to come up and attack the vehicle, most of the demon soul clan did not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Fortunately, the vehicle had not traveled far, and the stone ninja, who had made a hasty visit last night and then left, got out of nowhere.
With the blessing of this fifth-level boss, the surrounding area became quiet for a while.
"Hal, your injuries are too serious. Were you there last night?"
After driving away some people watching the excitement, Shi Nin walked over with a frown on his face. When he saw the injuries on Somo's body, he was shocked.
"Yes, our exchange was targeted by them, and Hal did it for defense."
"Oh, these reformers are really hateful!"
Never missing an opportunity to "cry the poor", although Turner didn't know the true identity of the stone ninja, he knew that he was an external steward of the city and his status was acceptable.
With his performance, the stone ninja opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he cooperated and turned his words into a long sigh.
"Let's go, you are going to the inner city, right? In this case, I will escort you there!"
Seeing that Shi Nin agreed to escort him, Turner's face lit up with joy, and the cart continued to move forward.
This time, the road ahead was much smoother.
It only took less than an hour to march to the city gate where we came yesterday.
I don’t know if it’s because the Demon Soul Tribe is too efficient, or if there are unique cleaning measures here.
Most of the traces of the place where the fiercest battle last night had disappeared.
Except for the blood that seeped through the black bricks like stubborn stains, and some minced meat in the gaps.
Even from the air, it was difficult to tell what the fighting situation was like last night here.
"Currently, people below the purple level in the inner city do not have permission to enter, and even if they have purple permission, they must pass approval."
"But with my guarantee, Turner, if you hold Hal up, you two can go in!"
The gate stone, which had been deserted in the past, was already filled with heavily armed guards.
After the stone ninja came forward to negotiate for a while, the escort released the conditions.
"Okay, I'm really troublesome, Manager Shi!"
After signaling Shinichi and Shinji to put Soma down, Turner changed his identity and replaced the template with a second-level silverback lizard.
Then, carrying Somo on their backs, and after passing the inspection of the gate stone, the two of them successfully entered the inner city.
Unlike the outer city, all the facilities here are still exactly the same as yesterday.
Even the stone slabs on the ground had no cracks, and no trace of the battle could be seen.
Coupled with the still extremely busy major shops, inside and outside the city, it once again gives people an indescribable "sense of disharmony".
Being familiar with the road, they took Somo with them and soon arrived at the place that everyone in the city longed for.
Mark Upgrade Center!
Within the Demon Soul Clan, marks are capital and a symbol of status.
For example, the Soma lying in the car today is not a blue mark, but a purple mark, and he has the authority to load the fifth-level template.
Then there would definitely not be so many people who would be bold enough to come and ridicule you all the way here.
With some apprehension, after a few minutes of queuing, the two of them came to the front.
"Let's upgrade the mark, yes, blue to purple!"
After allowing the testing equipment to read the data, Turner made a complaint.
As expected, the staff inside did not agree immediately, but quickly processed the temporary departure and hurried to the back hall.
"Can it be done?"
"It can definitely happen, believe me!"
Lying on the warm back of the silverback lizard, feeling Turner's pounding heartbeat, Somo tugged at the corners of his lips and whispered comfort.
Wherever there are people, there will be disputes and exchange of interests.
Somo was not sure whether this cruel trick would succeed.
But he believes that as long as the Guardians still want balance, they also want to fight back against the top ten exchanges.
Then this upgrade is definitely a sure thing!
After a while, as the sun rose higher in the sky again, the staff responsible for handling business flashed back from the back hall.
Seeing the full smile on his face, Sumo smiled easily and closed his eyes.
The upgrade process was not complicated. With just a simple scan of the instrument, the two people's marks successfully changed from blue to purple, and they successfully entered the "noble" class in Liberty City.
Regardless of Turner's shouting and excitement, Somo closed his eyes again and fell into a drowsy sleep while lying on the back of the silverback lizard.
In this sleep, he completed all the things that were pressing on his mind, and he slept extremely peacefully.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west that I finally woke up.
Opening his eyes and looking at the familiar basement ceiling, Sumo turned around and asked, "What time is it?"
No one knew how to take care of the injured, so Hao Qiang was still the one staying next to Sumo.
Hearing his question, Hao Qiang perked up: "Director, it's ten past four!"
"Is the passage out of the city open?"
"It's open. It opened at twelve o'clock. Now there are no restrictions on entry and exit!!"
