"This started about an hour ago. You just left Huang Haowen's house."
After an inexplicable man attacked Huang Haowen's bodyguard team, communication became much easier.
Huang Haowen reluctantly came down from upstairs again and accepted questioning.
For some reason, he didn't care much about the location he mentioned. He could just follow Keiko Himoto and the others to get there.
However, Huang Haowen's cautious appearance and abnormal fear attracted inexplicable attention.
"You seem to be worried that someone will cause trouble for you? You, an ordinary construction worker, have hired so many extraordinary beings as guards? Also, speaking of the City Lord's Mansion, it seems that you have a lot of hidden things that you haven't told me."
"Answer my question! Or die!"
Huang Haowen:()
He was frightened because his bones were not strong, and he told the inexplicable everything he knew on the spot.
The guards were enjoying their leisure time and were beaten twice a day. Who could bear the intensity of the work?
Thanks to being a martial artist, he has rough skin and thick flesh.
As a result, he learned Huang Haowen's real secret.
a week ago.
Huang Haowen was called by people from the City Lord's Mansion to repair the backyard buildings and landscape areas.
This is a simple job, and the city lord's palace is not stingy with it. He can make a small profit. The key is that if he does the job assigned by the city lord, he may become familiar with it.
It will be easier to make a living on earth in the future.
During the repair, a sewer pipe was dug and leaked. At that time, he thought that he would repair it secretly and pretend that nothing happened.
As a result, when he dug deeper, he not only found optical cables, but also found a secret room under the city lord's palace, and blood! Lots and lots of blood!
I could vaguely hear a low roar coming from below. I didn't know what kind of monster it was.
He was frightened at the time.
Finish your work quickly and run away.
He believed that there must be a group of monsters kept under the city lord's mansion. He didn't know what they did, but it was definitely not a good thing, otherwise they wouldn't be hiding in the underground secret room.
So he pretended that nothing happened. In fact, he was afraid that something bad would happen. He hired so many guards to protect him. He was afraid that if someone wanted to silence him, he would still have some protective power.
But obviously as a contractor, he didn't have a clear idea of the power of extraordinary beings. The most powerful guards he had found had been overthrown by two groups.
Oh no, this time one person led a group of strange creatures and beat them up.
Inexplicable: "Then you...did you tell the group of people who were looking for you in front of you where you dug the secret room?"
"Yes! The optical cable they are looking for is over there anyway, so I'm not lying to them."
Inexplicable: "It's broken! You are going to cause trouble!"
The information here has proven that there is a big problem in the City Lord's Mansion.
But the optical cable interface is what they must get.
"Instead of reminding them, it's better to use them as bait. I'll find reinforcements and take them down in one fell swoop."
"You are still a level 40 player after all. You won't die too quickly, right?"
"Although this place is not too far from the Red City, relying on the strength of my Cerberus's legs will definitely delay things. Call the lord directly by voice. I hope the lord is not sleeping at the moment."
Inexplicably, I contacted the lord directly. Although the call took a little longer and the lord was indeed sleeping, I still received his message.
After explaining the situation here inexplicably, Cheng Shaofeng made a prompt decision and sent No. 0 over.
It just so happened that he wanted to stretch his muscles recently, so he came out with him.
Yesterday, he absorbed 350,000 crystals and upgraded himself from level 30 to level 35, which is the middle level of the third level. He used the skill points he had saved for a long time to fill up [Storm Scattering] and made a fortune by the way.
[Storm Scatter] bullets replenish the fishing robot's ammunition library.
Originally, he could reach level 39 in one go, but in order to complete the order for enchanted bullets for soldiers, he temporarily saved the crystals for new players.
After the soldier's crystals were settled, he went straight to level 40, which is the fourth level!
Anyway, for him, the combat effectiveness between level 35 and level 39 is not much different.
Just to level up to 35 and learn [Storm Scattering] of [Judge].
He is different from the player's clone. His level 40 is level four!
That's when the real qualitative change begins!
Inexplicably, while waiting for the lord's support, he apparently left on a hellhound, but still left a crow near Huang Haowen's house to observe whether he was hiding any other secrets.
Then he discovered the person who went to kill Huang Haowen, the deputy captain of the guard of the City Lord's Mansion.
He took action decisively, and the summoned objects swarmed forward, killing the third-level vice-captain and saving Huang Haowen.
The frightened Huang Haowen almost knelt down to him.
Inexplicably, he asked if he should repay the favor, and then took away the 2,000 crystal stones stored in Huang Haowen's home.
With Huang Haowen shouting "This is more uncomfortable than killing me" in the background, he inexplicably left the Huang family compound quickly, joined the lord, rushed to the city lord's mansion, and rescued several members of the mentally retarded team.
Inexplicably, he briefly recounted his operations.
Riben Guizi thought for a moment and suddenly realized!
"You're fucking using us as bait, right?"
Inexplicable: "."
"Just tell me whether things can be done or not!"
"this"
The mentally handicapped team thought about it and thought that they had no losses, so this result was acceptable.
At this time, Cheng Shaofeng stood on the Green Devil's skateboard, frowning as he looked at the controlled city lord and the large number of humanoid monsters below.
"I suddenly remembered something"
"The deserter named Tuoba Liang who Agent Feng rescued from prison is still in our base. At first he said that he was deceived into going to the front line, and the city lord used a secret technique to forcibly damage his lifespan in exchange for it.
Evolver's ability"
"But as far as I know, Colossus City's annual recruitment is still going on. The people he sent to the frontline battlefields were the people he captured. Where did the recruited soldiers go?"
Cheng Shaofeng had never quite understood why Tuoba Liang was forcibly captured to serve as a soldier. There was obviously no problem with conscription. Many people in the wasteland did not have enough to eat, so serving as a soldier on the frontline battlefield was also an option to survive.
The soldier base didn't give them too many military service tasks, so how could they not complete them?
Now Cheng Shaofeng probably understands.
Inexplicably, he also said harshly: "What a ruthless city lord. He took all the soldiers recruited from Colossus City to the basement for experiments and transformed them into monsters!"
Loli added long-windedly: "I heard from this city lord that he fused the genes of humans and zombies together, and the monsters produced by this city lord are somewhat of a pervert."
Tudou Lei: "Haha~ I think it is the undercover zombie."
The voice of No. 0 came from the sky.
"Lord, how should we deal with this monster?"
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the puddle of flesh still wriggling in the ice, and waved his hand in disgust: "Kill, there is no need to communicate with this monster anymore."
Moreover, the city lord is at the fourth level. This time, the player consumed its energy first, and then Zero used the strongest firepower to sneak attack and freeze it in one fell swoop.
If it slows you down, something might happen.
Number Zero: "As you wish."
The fishing robot changes its body in the air, and its two arms combine to form a giant hammer shape.
The two legs were brought together to form a columnar accelerator, blue flames spurted out from under the feet, and the body accelerated wildly.
boom!
Zero's giant hammer hand smashed into pieces of ice and crushed the city lord on that pool of meat.
boom!
Multiple limbs of the lord were blown into pieces by the extremely high impact and flew out.
The body in the center was pressed hard into the ground by the oversized fishing robot, turning into a puddle of meat.
Inexplicably assuming the lonely posture of a master.
"Maybe. This is the essential difference between you and me who play games with our brains!"
"Everything is under control."
The 10 people below didn't have time to pay attention to him. They rushed over in a swarm and started throwing away their skills.
"Stay close! Don't lose experience! Why don't you give me tens of thousands this time?"
Inexplicable: "."
"Fuck! Wait for me!"
He hurriedly jumped off the skateboard and followed other players to output the "Meat Pie City Lord". The others had been playing for a long time, but he didn't touch it at all. In the end, he couldn't get any experience from him. But he became an idiot!
The players whipped the corpse frantically, not even sparing the broken limbs scattered around.
But until they all collapsed the ground by 2 meters, they did not receive any prompt to increase their experience.
Riben Guizi stopped.
"Don't fight, it's all turned into minced flesh. Physically speaking, it's impossible to survive. There's probably something wrong somewhere else."
"Could it be that this thing is considered a human NPC, so we have no experience in killing it?"
"Have you ever seen a human being turn into a pile of rotten flesh that sprays tentacles? This is ridiculous!"
The players didn't get any experience, and Cheng Shaofeng was also surprised.
"Number Zero, detect the energy fluctuations around you. Is this city lord dead?"
No. 0: "Yes! Under detection"
After a while.
"After the detection, the ruins of the shrine were found underground, and the space teleportation wave was just activated."
"Shrine ruins?"
Cheng Shaofeng and the players dug through the basement together, and found a shrine wrapped in a large amount of wriggling flesh on the third floor of the deeper basement. On the shrine, there was a black heart with tentacles that was still beating.
The ruins of the shrine also fluctuate under the beating of this heart.
Inexplicable: "This cutscene is so weird, it's like. It's like the shrine is being sucked out of life by the heart."
Riben Guizi: "Don't say it, you really don't say it, the more we look at it, the more we look like it!"
Tudou Lei: "The city lord won't slip away from the shrine, right? As far as I know, there may be space inside the shrine. Didn't a big fool jump in before? In the end, he suffocated and died in it. By the way, which one of you
If you know this fool, ask him."
She glanced at him inexplicably: "You are the big fool, and your whole family is the big fool!"
"Do you know how to devote yourself to scientific research?"
In a flash, he said inexplicably: "However, you can teleport to another space inside the shrine. The one I jumped into before was a space wormhole opened by an NPC called 'The God of Hades'. When I arrived in the Hades space, I was suffocated to death."
."
Cheng Shaofeng felt very uncomfortable looking at the beating black heart, and the rotten flesh wrapped around it also made him feel sick.
"Clean up all this mess and reveal the shrine's original appearance."
"Okay~"
The players used all their firepower, and the black heart exploded, and small black bugs burst out of it, which were burned by the players.
After shaving all kinds of weird flesh-like tissues from the top of the shrine, the shrine returned to its normal appearance.
Cheng Shaofeng found that the shrine seemed to become a little brighter.
"Let's try to see if we can get [Piety Points] from the shrine."
"I come!"
Inexplicably, he touched it directly and muttered: "I always carry an oxygen bottle when I go out. If I have the guts, let me go again! Hades is locked up and cannot move. This time I will stand on his head and shit!"
"
Everyone: "."
Loli said: "I can see that he hasn't let go yet."
But the black hole in space did not appear, and the smart watch’s notification sound came belatedly.
[Discovered contaminated shrine ruins]
[The pollution has been cleaned up and you have received the shrine reward!]
Prompt sounds came from many players' watches almost at the same time.
The next second, a bright starlight was emitted from the shrine and disappeared into the bodies of the 11 players present.
[Ding~ Get attribute points +3, skill points +3, extra piety points +1]
11 players gasped.
"A task to increase attributes!"
"Nice!"
"Has this caught up with us?"
"Wouldn't it be like directly crushing players of the same level?"
"Well, that's a bit exaggerated, but it definitely has advantages."
"The lord actually asked us to do such a good task. He really made me cry to death!"
"I heard that the Peak Team doesn't have time, so why don't they do this task? Do you want to regret it now or later?"
The players got 3 attribute points, 3 skill points, and 1 piety point for nothing, and they were all very happy.
Cheng Shaofeng was a little puzzled.
'Huh? I'm not far away, and I ordered the people to clean the shrine. Why didn't I get a bonus? Is it because I didn't take action?'
‘What a fool! You can’t do that???’
When Cheng Shaofeng was getting angry, the natural disaster base in his mind shook violently, as if something had been unlocked.
But Cheng Shaofeng had a splitting headache.
"Number Zero, carry me and go back to base! Hurry!"
Cheng Shaofeng suddenly died and was taken back to the base by No. 0 without even saying hello.
The players thought for a moment and understood immediately!
"The lord bug happened again! I guess he went back to sleep again."
"However, this subplot is just a cutscene. It's already very good. The planning must have taken a lot of effort."
"Let's light up this shrine quickly!"
After cleaning up the pollution, traces of vital energy drifted out of the shrine, and it was ready for normal worship.
[Sacrifice requirement: A piece of vibrant meat]
The players casually got some pieces of corpse meat and threw them in. After being absorbed by the shrine, the starlight flashed and the souls directly ascended to the starry sky.
[Gain piety points: 1]
Players once again came to the place where the constellations were lit.
This group of players have never been to Central City and have only lit up three shrines: Four Mountains, Red Maple Forest, and Red City. This is currently the fourth shrine.
But in this shrine, they obtained 2 [Piety Points], which can be fully lit for the constellations of less than 4 planets.
After lighting up an entire constellation, you will get a higher bonus.
and
Inexplicable: "Eh!? I gained a constellation skill!"
Woohoo~ I'm guilty. I didn't update on time yesterday morning in an attempt to get away with it. I'm lazy. I stood up and was scolded.
