Cheng Peng and Xu Tu stood in the vast desert that could not be seen at a glance, and were stunned for a moment.
"Where is this?" Xu Tu asked.
"I don't know either." Cheng Peng answered honestly, "I don't know any more about Journey to the West than you do."
In fact, he knew very little about that masterpiece that was so popular on the Internet and even influenced a generation. Although he watched the movie several times in order to complete the task better, many of the artistic conceptions and settings... still
Confused.
This is also the reason why he did not invite Wang Hu, Qiao Xi and other top masters to enhance his combat effectiveness, but instead invited Xu Tu.
For dungeon development, the military advisor is more important than the general.
There are a total of twelve players in this dungeon, and it is said that at least half of them should be able to fight, so there is probably no shortage of combat power. What is lacking is people who know how to use these combat powers at the right time and in the right way.
Cheng Peng has quite a wide circle of friends, and he also knows a lot of intellectual talents. Among them, he has good friendships, and maybe three of them can be invited to travel with him.
The first thing worth considering is Yue Yi. This wise man who once ranked with Cheng Peng as one of the four great fools belongs to that kind of sunny talent. He is far-sighted and far-sighted. He can always achieve his goals with clear strategies. He can be called a "scheming man".
"Experts.
But Yue Yi is a busy man now - as the military advisor of the Gun Guild, one of the largest guilds in East Asia, he is in charge of the development and development of several worlds. He has so many things to do, he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to get together with old friends.
Gone.
Even though Cheng Peng wanted to ask him for help, he was really embarrassed to waste his precious time looking for uncertain gains in the newly opened world dungeon.
The second person worthy of consideration is naturally Xu Tu. When it comes to wisdom, Xu Tu is even better than Yue Yi. Especially in terms of quick response, Xu Tu is even better. There are almost no people Cheng Peng has ever met.
People can compare with him.
But the problem with Xu Tu is that this very amiable middle-aged man is a bad guy at heart. He spends all day planning to eat the last one's family and the next one's, and he is planning to cross rivers and demolish bridges to take advantage of others. It is no exaggeration to say that he is absolutely
The kind that is the public enemy of mankind!
If nothing else, let’s talk about Cheng Peng’s elf city—in exchange for King Arthur’s scabbard, the Knights of the Round Table gave him an elf city in the world of “Invincible Heroes.” Cheng Peng himself was very busy, so he appointed Wen De
As the acting city lord, let this wanderer manage the city.
This was a big mistake he made because of his youth!
Under Xu Tu's instigation, Wen De, who was originally preparing to go to work alone, gave full play to his talent as a female killer, kidnapping several high-level NPCs with surnames from Gensokyo, and adding several special buildings to the city -
-For example, the Moriya Shrine branch... I also won an astonishing amount of bounties for myself on the forum, and I had to deal with player assassins from the East every day.
So Cheng Peng really didn’t want to ask Xu Tu for help unless he had to, especially this time it wasn’t just a temporary solution, but a colleague who always wanted to give advice at any time - God knows when Xu Tu would suddenly have an attack, causing some outrages among gods and men.
Something is coming!
The last strategist that can be considered is Shen Qi. She is knowledgeable and talented, and has an intelligence network that Yue Yi and Xu Tu can't match. In addition, she is also a four-star magician who can fight. If a person's various abilities are transformed into
The data is definitely higher than that of Yue Yi and Xu Tu!
But Shen Qi has a fatal flaw - she is not Chinese.
Even though she is fluent in Chinese, she is still an Englishman; even if she can collect a lot of information about Journey to the West, she may not be able to truly understand the way of thinking in Eastern culture.
In normal times, this may be just a minor shortcoming that is innocuous, but in a newly opened dungeon where various things are complicated, this small flaw may cause ridiculous mistakes at critical moments.
So after careful consideration, Cheng Peng still found Xu Tu and asked him to form a team with him and go to the world of "Westward Journey? Part 1" to open up wasteland.
There was a gap of five days from January 7th, when gm visited, to January 12th, when the world officially opened. During these five days, Cheng Peng and Xu Tu prepared many things that might be useful. It can be said that they prepared themselves
Armed to the teeth, I made up my mind to strive for a higher dungeon completion in order to obtain better rewards.
But no matter what they thought, they never expected to encounter such a situation.
In the vast Gobi desert, the fields are vast, the tile-green sky and the gray-yellow sand seem to be connected together. Let alone the location, it is impossible to distinguish the southeast from the northwest.
In this case, what should we do?
"Let's locate it first." Xu Tu sighed, "You are an archaeologist, so you should have a way to locate it in the desert, right?"
"Of course...but all my methods are used on earth..."
"I can't worry about that much anymore." Xu Tu sighed, "I'll dig a hole in the ground to hide from the sun. You can determine the location. We'll set off when the sun goes down."
So the two of them worked separately.
What Xu Tu did was relatively complicated: he used the materials prepared in advance to quickly assemble a small digging machine beast. The wooden beast, which looked like a large mole, waved its iron claws and quickly dug in the sand.
After a while, a deep hole was dug out. Xu Tu then directed it to use its strong body to hit the wall of the hole to reinforce the inside of the hole to avoid collapse. When everything was completed, he dug a deep hole into the hole.
The roof is made of solid steel to prevent it from being buried alive in the event of a sandstorm.
Overall, he is very professional.
In comparison, what Cheng Peng did seemed a bit silly: he first used a plumb to determine the vertical direction of the ground, then inserted a javelin as vertically as possible as close to the ground, broke the tip of the spear, and
He buckled a small shield on the gun shaft like a lotus leaf. Then he poured a lot of water into the small "lotus leaf" and used the slanted gun tip as a support to lift a vertical
When the filament falls into the water, there is a heavy falling object under the filament to ensure that it is vertical.
As the sun sets, the vertical filaments cast shadows on the water.
Then Cheng Peng turned on the camera system and paid attention to adding water to the lotus leaf-like shield while recording the changing process of the shadow on the water.
Time passed little by little, and the shadow gradually became shorter, finally reaching its shortest at noon.
When the time was determined, Cheng Peng put away everything and jumped into the hole to escape the scorching heat of the desert.
"How is it?" Xu Tu, who had already been hiding inside, asked, "Can you determine our location?"
Cheng Peng did not rush to answer, but began to calculate.
In reality, to determine your own longitude and latitude, you need to use some specialized instruments. However, with the help of a powerful camera system and some auxiliary measurement and calculation tools, Cheng Peng's position determination work went smoothly.
"It turns out it's here..." It took him less than five minutes to calculate the longitude and latitude where the two of them were currently, and then took out a map of China to compare - if this world uses the earth as a model, then now they are
It is located in the Gurbantunggut Desert in the Junggar Basin in northern Japan, and is relatively close to the center of the desert.
Just when Cheng Peng marked their locations on the map, a system prompt came from their system channel:
[You have successfully determined your location and officially activated the dungeon mission. Please go to Wuyue Mountain at 86 degrees east longitude and 46 degrees north latitude, located on the edge of the desert, and participate in the lottery to determine the character's identity. ]
[The first two groups that arrive will receive 5% completion of the dungeon, the middle two groups will receive 4% completion, and the last two groups or the teams that cannot reach Wuyue Mountain within five days will only receive 3% completion.
Please hurry up.]
"It's really embarrassing..." Cheng Peng sighed, "Although the location has been determined and the route can also be determined, if we follow the direction and distance of the earth, we will have to walk for several days to reach Wuyue Mountain - this still takes
The direction has always been good, and God has to help me to avoid encountering sandstorms or anything like that..."
"Leave the direction to me." Xu Tu said with a smile, "Although the compass and system map are invalid, as an engineer, the 'compass' is a required course for us!"
He did what he said, and before the sun went down, he made a wooden ball the size of a football.
The structure of the ball is very complex, and there is a similarly wooden arrow in the center, pointing to the north that Cheng Peng measured just now.
"As long as you don't put it back in the inventory, no matter how you change direction or run, it will always point north." Xu Tu said with a smile, "Many people think that 'Sinan' is the earliest guide tool, but actually the guide car is the first.
Yes, I won’t explain the specific principle. Anyway, trust my skills, we won’t get lost in the desert.”
His technique is indeed very reliable.
In order to rush for time, and to prevent Xu Tu's mechanism from having problems, the two set off after a short rest. Regardless of the scorching sun and heat during the day, and the biting cold at night, they advanced along an almost straight route in the vast desert.
Sunset and sunrise, sunrise and sunset, when they ushered in the second sunrise in this world, after two days and one night of hard trek, the two finally reached the edge of the desert.
After climbing over a sand dune, the breath of life that suddenly appeared in front of us was refreshing: looking forward, the long yellow sand had gradually disappeared, and the ground was no longer soft sand, but mottled Gobi composed of gravel, with sparse
Vegetation appeared not far ahead, and became denser the further you looked. There were even a few small woods about a kilometer away, and there was even a stream that appeared and disappeared between the woods.
Looking along the direction of the stream, at the end of the horizon, there stands a majestic mountain shaped like an upright hand.
That was exactly the goal of their trip, Wuyue Mountain.
