The sun is getting higher, more and more people are coming and going, and the place at the entrance of the village has become lively. Several teams of players have put away their stalls and entered the Emerald Forest. Some people even came back from the forest and put out their things.
The hawking began on the ground. Some staff of guilds or forces started recruiting people again just like Duan Qing came to this world for the first time. Sometimes a few people who were good friends or people who had hatred met, and then again
Several good plays were staged.
Duan Qing and Mengzhu looked at the sky and felt that there was no need to delay any longer, so they decided to go out as a team of four.
After the evil young man from Jie City appeared, Duan Qing briefly explained this person's situation to Mengzhu. Although he didn't know this person at all, so he only needed to make a little evaluation of this person based on that impression.
——
I don’t know my strength, I’m very weak by visual inspection, I like to brag, and I’m good at bullshitting, but I think he’s still a good person.
Mengzhu was still hesitating at first, but the evil young man who had just come over and the flat-headed man had already started talking, and after a while they seemed to have been friends for many years, and they began to call each other brothers.
"Sure enough, we are like-minded! I like to make friends with loyal people. Brother, do you want to come to my side? I have strong soldiers and horses, and my generals are as bright as the clouds..."
"I appreciate the eldest brother's loyalty, but I already have an eldest brother, so... I abandon my righteousness... Well, in short, I won't do anything like being a second-rate kid...
.....But I like awesome people like you. If I have the chance to meet the boss and the others, I must get to know him..."
"Okay, hahahaha..."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Seeing the two people laughing and patting each other on the shoulders, with expressions of resentment for meeting each other so late, Mengzhu took two steps back with a black line on his face, and quietly asked the uncle who looked at nothing.
"Should we, it's better to pretend that we don't know these two people..."
"Don't, it took a lot of effort for these two to get here. If you push them out again, what if the two of us really end up in the forest..."
The result after that was as Duan Qing expected. The two never found a suitable teammate. It is probably because time was getting late and players who were interested in exploring had already joined other people's teams and left. Until three poles in the sun, the team was full
There is always an empty spot in the team of five people.
After consulting each other, the four of them decided not to waste time here. However, before leaving, Duan Qing and Mengzhu still held on to a glimmer of hope and planned to collect some suitable equipment.
The entrance to the village is also a market for players. Qing has experienced this section when he first came here. In addition to most selling animal carcasses, plants and herbs, and food and drink, only a few people sell some weapons that they can no longer use or have eliminated.
Equipment. However, this is a novice village after all, and what players can sell is almost all garbage among garbage, a whiteboard among whiteboards. And after being baptized by that glove, Duan Qing already has a good understanding of the equipment system in this world.
In order to gain a better understanding, it felt a bit wasteful to ask him to buy those whiteboard weapons and equipment. The two of them looked at it for a long time and found nothing worth buying. In the end, it was Mengzhu who made the decision and bought a pair of boots.
Finally, they didn't let their time go to waste.
[Wolfskin boots (normal)]
[Defense: Weak]
[Special effect: slightly increases your running speed. 】
[Leather boots made with careful sewing. The comfortable and soft soles allow people to walk quickly when running. 】
"Another two hundred oceans are gone..."
"So don't buy it, it's not a good thing..."
"No! It's silly to spend so much time shopping in vain. You have to buy something. Besides, these boots are good and have special effects..."
"The special effects are almost non-existent..."
After leaving the village, the four people introduced each other's strengths. While getting to know each other, they also had a preliminary understanding of the entire team's combat capabilities.
The evil young man from Jie City was just like Duan Qing imagined. He was only level 8. Apart from the equipment brought by novices, the only thing worth mentioning was the coarse linen clothes full of holes. The weapon in his hand was a worn-out weapon.
I don’t know where he got the short sword. As for the basic cutting skills, he can still do it.
Ban Cun Tou is already at level 10. His ID name is Liu Qingniu. I don’t know if this is his real name or a name he borrowed casually. He is also wearing the attire of a newcomer, except that he wears a white shirt from an unknown source.
Where did you get the black leather jacket? You can't tell what kind of material the leather is made of, but it should be very strong, because Aniu looked proud when he showed off his strength.
"...The cow was discovered by a few of us in an open space in the north of the village. At that time, I shouted, and everyone rushed forward. The beast also rushed toward me, and I slapped it with a brick.
On my head... The people passing by were all dumbfounded, hahaha... Our captain respects my strength, brother, so he gave me a large piece of cowhide..."
That captain of yours must have been scared... Duan Qing cursed in his heart, but he also understood that this man was probably capable of fighting, but when it came to fighting, he probably relied on the aura of a street gangster.
As for the name A Niu, he carelessly asked others to call him that. The weapon in his hand now is not a random brick picked up by the roadside, but a black iron rod tied around his waist. Mentioned
The origin of this iron rod, A Niu finally showed a special momentum.
"That blacksmith... hum, I don't know where he is from... I also really want to talk to him..."
His tone was quite kind, but everyone looked at his "kind expression" with the Chinese character "Sichuan" raised in the middle of his brows, and they couldn't help but swallow back the words they wanted to ask next.
Duan Qing already had a rough understanding of Mengzhu's strength, so when she introduced herself, he kept nodding his head, looking like "it's true". But there were some things he didn't know.
, for example, the girl has reached level 1.
"What? Then aren't you more powerful, and you should have many more attributes than us..."
"So you are a newbie and you still don't admit it. After level 10, your attributes are only level two before you get one." The girl probably couldn't bear it anymore, so now she said with ridicule and contempt on her face: "And no matter how high the level is,
Some, the levels you need to cross to get this number will be more. I’m telling you now, remember it, don’t embarrass me when you go out in the future..."
"Oh, you girl, you are so unreasonable..."
Although the way the girl wrinkled her nose at him was cute, Duan Qing still stood firmly on the opposite side of her for his own sake. A Niu probably couldn't stand Duan Qing, a grown man competing with a girl, so he came over
Pat him on the shoulder.
"Brother Qingshan, you haven't introduced your situation to everyone yet."
"My situation..."
Just as Duan Qing was about to speak, four or five people suddenly walked over from the woods ahead.
"Hey, you guys."
************************
Shadow Ye Kuangge is a professional player, but his professional player is obviously different from those professional players in the league. His professional player, the word "professional" is more focused.
Simply, he is a studio member.
Although the studio he works in is not big, it has experienced some ups and downs. The reason is that the development of virtual online games is so rapid that games have been replaced from generation to generation like stars. Game technology has also advanced by leaps and bounds, and the environment of survival of the fittest has naturally become
The change of dynasties in the mainstream and gaming industry is also dizzying, not to mention workshops like theirs that are more numerous than the stars but are little-known.
After playing a few games, the studio stumbled, and the members of Liushui changed one after another, but the camp managed to survive. Now that the studio has gained some semblance, he has become an old man of the studio.
He works diligently for the group on weekdays, and is very familiar with everything from taking jobs to doing the work. He is also quite familiar with dealing with people and handling relationships with big forces. Today's boss treats him well, and he also has several subordinates who can help him share some of the pressure.
, can be regarded as a powerful senior person. It is just that the lower-level employees are "renewed". When there is a shortage of manpower, he still has to stand up and take charge of the overall situation.
Although the name of Black Cloud Alliance is not very famous, its current strength is also good. Regardless of the management ability of the senior executives including themselves, in terms of the ability to fight alone, they still have it - of course this refers to
It is a battle in the game - so, in order to continue the organizational development, some new strategies have been put on the agenda. Even in the free world, a place with a rather strange birth mechanism, the studio has already invested in it.
This is the third group of people. The reason is that they still want to occupy a place in this huge market.
After all, my boss still wants to be big.
Now not only has the scope of business been expanded, but also the publicity has been expanded. He often warns his subordinates that they must emphasize the name of the Black Cloud Alliance when doing things. Even if they don't know their own strength, they must at least listen to their side.
reputation, and it must be a good reputation. When you are doing business or working as a thug, you should also pay attention to your words and deeds. Even if you are not doing human affairs, you must set up a memorial arch to maintain a minimum positive image. Everyone is no longer the original workshop.
Okay, as long as you have word of mouth, the rest will fall into place...
However, if you encounter someone who is really short-sighted, you can certainly give them the necessary lessons.
Yingye Kuangge was originally on business today, and he took over a job from his superiors, asking people born here to cooperate with some people's work in the past few days - in fact, they are to be helpers, collecting resources, information, intelligence, etc. This book
In the spirit of a professional player, it is also necessary to be serious and responsible. These days, I have personally investigated a lot of information about the Emerald Forest, and reported to the other party all the trends I have monitored in the recent period. The other party's "
"The response" was also very satisfying to him. He was worthy of being a powerful person, and his efforts were generous.
It seems that there are going to be some big moves over there today, so the intention they conveyed last night is to bring some people here to help open up roads and take the front line. According to aspects related to combat, it should be the studio's strength.
Unfortunately, the time for players to appear in this novice village was too short, and there was not much combat power available. In order not to fall behind, as the person who coordinated the overall situation, he had to personally lead the team and rush to the Emerald Forest.
Then one of his men recognized the girl in the purple burqa.
I did hear about this a few days ago. When my subordinates came to report it, although they didn't dare to make it up in front of me, they still expressed a lot of resentment about what happened that morning.
I understand. It's really embarrassing to lose face in public, but everyone here knows that they have been busy these past two days. There is no need to waste this time and energy on an idler - it is said that she is a girl.
, so I just said a few words casually and put the matter behind me. But today, by chance, the person in charge of collecting herbs mentioned it again, and I can still remember the general details.
It's really troublesome. The people over there are still waiting for me... I don't know how their progress is. Although there are few people here, there are naturally many corresponding preparations and I will never let the other party see it.
As for how to deal with him after the meeting, he needs to think about it. Now it seems that the other party's intentions are not good. If used properly, he may be able to squeeze out more oil and water... Thinking of the trouble, I gathered at the Yitang yesterday afternoon.
People came over to make trouble, and he and several other people in the guild took action, causing them to suffer some losses. I thought they would just come to take revenge today...
When Ying Ye Kuangge was thinking, the brother, perhaps thinking that the boss had acquiesced to him, led the people towards the team. After he raised his head and saw it, he had no intention of stopping him. He stood there and watched his subordinates walk over.
But in my mind, I was still thinking about what I should do after entering the depths of the forest.
By the way, we need to be careful about the people from the Red Mountain Club... What is the name of that girl over there...
Anyway, we met today. Let my subordinates teach me a lesson, which can be considered as a way to improve my reputation. Anyway, everyone has been very nervous these past few days, so I just want to vent it out... Anyway, it's all about the same thing.
He thought so.
*********************
From the southern exit of Green Stone Village to the southwest, before reaching the edge of the Emerald Forest, there is about one kilometer of beautiful lawn - using the distance measurement method in the free world, it is about two deltas. Every time the breeze blows across this grassland
When the weather is sunny, the grass more than ten centimeters high will sway with the direction of the wind, making a rustling sound. If it is a sunny day, a certain golden color will spread on the grass, accompanied by various insects and birds from time to time.
The language, set against the green forest in the southern background, indeed makes this place a good place to relax and pick up girls. But on the sunny noon on Earth month o, 795 in the New Calendar, the breeze brought to this grassland
There was no hint of harmony in the atmosphere.
Approaching the forest, people from the two teams were close together. The team coming from the north were still talking and arguing with each other. The people from the south by the woods came closer, first blocking the way with great momentum, and then arrogantly
He said a few words loudly, as if to explain something. In the previous team, a delicate figure in purple robe jumped to the front, and seemed to start to fight back with reason. Although it looked like a girl, there seemed to be no sympathy for her on the other side.
The idea was too futile, so they each took out their weapons, spread out, and prepared to attack.
The team here suddenly seemed a little confused, as if there was a bigger quarrel. The woman in front shouted to suppress the noise on her side, and then put on a fighting posture, saying something without looking back, and then
A man stepped forward and held his head down, then pushed him to the back of the team.
The man also spoke, seemingly unconcerned, but as he walked forward, he did not stop taking out his weapon. His weapon was a dark dagger, which seemed to be covered up by rust.
The original appearance.
He had been turning his head and talking to the team at the rear. Then he sighed and turned his head to the front, facing the five enemy people who had formed a semicircle... Well, one of them was standing at the back.
He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
He said a few more words, but found that the people opposite him didn't say anything, so he stopped talking. He held the sword in his right hand, first placed it across his chest, and then swung it to his right, as if to throw away the contamination on it.
The blood is normal.
The battle started without warning.
The man suddenly rushed to his left. The four people standing in front were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect that he would dare to rush over alone. The man on the far right was holding an ax in his hand, and he hurriedly
Then, he had no choice but to maintain his posture and raise the giant ax in his hand, trying to parry the man's attack.
The forward figure suddenly slowed down. In the interlacing of footsteps, the man's running movements began to become rhythmic, like a meteor stride. His right hand sword was dragged behind him, and then he swung it forward when he was about to reach the axe.
, use both hands hard and cut it down with one sword.
Seeing this, the axeman felt a little relieved. He was now level 14 and had full strength, so he was very confident in his own strength. As long as he reacted properly, the blow in front of him would definitely be repelled by his parrying action. He lowered his body
, raised his hands, and at the same time breathed out: "Drink!"
Then, his body staggered forward.
The moment before the sword touched the ax body, the man put his left foot on the ground and turned slightly sideways. In the quiet sound of weapons clashing, he completed the transition from turning sideways to turning around, and following the opponent's shock, he used his foot force
, take a few steps.
Jumping, twisting, and turning sideways, the power from the waist and abdomen was transmitted to the arms, and then the dagger was swung out in a perfect circle, and it was suddenly slashed at the back of the neck of the axeman who was still unable to withdraw due to excessive force.
The axeman's thoughts stayed on the confident parry of the previous moment. At this time, his thinking had just moved to the next step: such a powerless slash...
Then his consciousness disappeared.
The erection has really become shorter, that’s good...
The man sheathed his sword and retreated to the left. Amidst the fierce friction of the grass, the remaining three people were driven by the anger caused by the sudden death of their companions and chased in the direction of the man.
His calm voice came from the air.
"When ordinary people encounter unexpected situations, they usually make defensive or evasive movements subconsciously. Since it is defense, it must also be confident, so it is very easy to deal with it..."
The words were short and meaningless, but the opponents understood them completely, so they moved forward more urgently, trying to catch the figure. He continued to circle the arc, gradually maintaining the appropriate angle and distance: "If
That person chose to avoid or entangle, the situation is obviously different, but look at his weapons..."
"Also, you guys are..." In the continuously pulling formation, a person at the front had already rushed in front of him, and struck him in the face with a machete in his hand.
"...We should try our best to complete the encirclement..."
He raised his sword with both hands to block, and at the same time, he stopped his steps and suddenly turned around to bully the person. At the moment when the parry was successful, he turned his wrist to retract the sword and pressed down. The clever force made the person's body fall to one side involuntarily.
Then he held the sword in his right hand and made a gash under his ribs.
"...Otherwise it's meaningless."
The third man raised his sword and stabbed him.
He held the sword in his right hand, held out the sword, and followed the sword thrust of the man. When the two swords came together, there was no crisp sound of weapon collision, but a harsh sound of metal friction.
.With the man's exertion, the weapons of the two men were deflected to one side, and the two figures suddenly collided with each other, and separated again after an instant. A cold light flashed in the clear sky, and the man took a few steps back, smiling secretly.
He regained his strength, which was about to bottom out, and the swordsman who had just separated from him stood beside him, covering his neck with his hands, looking in disbelief, and then fell straight back.
"Look, I have to go up one by one now. You guys really have a deep friendship."
When the man running at the end saw this, the anger in his heart was finally extinguished. He backed away hesitantly, joined the injured man before, and looked at the man in front of him, who was still wearing novice uniforms, with suspicious eyes.
.
"Who are you?"
The man ignored him and shouted loudly in the direction of the teammates behind him: "Don't you want to know my strength?"
He returned his gaze to the enemies in front of him, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. His deep and deep voice seemed to be talking to them casually, and it was like a devil's whisper: "Now you see..."
