?When Cheng Peng and Shen Qi entered the Big Bell Tavern, the clock in the hall just started to ring the hour. The two of them walked as if they were stepping on the bell, and walked step by step towards the interior of the bar hall, also walking in front of everyone in the bar.
In their eyes... When the bell struck the seventh time, they happened to walk to the bar.
"My name is Cheng Peng, and I am here at the invitation of Mr. Red Chip." Cheng Peng's voice was not loud, but in the suddenly quiet tavern it was very clear, enough for everyone to hear, "Excuse me, where is he?"
where?"
Although he was asking the bar owner, more than one of the players rushed to point it out to Cheng Peng before the fat boss spoke, and Red Chip, the one who issued the mission invitation, jumped with excitement.
Get up and shout loudly: "Here! Here! I am Chip! Red Chip!"
There is a reason for them to be so excited: Cheng Peng's reputation is so resounding! His legendary deeds can be told for hours! And not long ago, he just led a team to encircle and suppress the famous demon warrior Sabei.
Lu indirectly caused the church to launch a financial offensive and frantically recruit players to commit suicide squads to eliminate dark creatures... Among the people present, many came here for the church's generous rewards!
"Um...Cheng...Cheng Peng, why did you accept our invitation?" Chip, who had just been promoted to seven stars, was the leader of a small team, with seven or eight levels slightly worse than his own.
As one of the top experts in the city, he has always had confidence in himself. He never lost confidence even when he was killed by Short Landy and fled like a dog in embarrassment, but he
No matter how confident you are, you will never feel that you and Cheng Peng are on the same level... Among other things, Cheng Peng was a seven-star master more than a year ago, but he was only promoted to seven-star a month ago!
At that time, he entrusted an intelligence agent with whom he was slightly acquainted to help find reliable helpers. He just had the idea that "perhaps he can find a few more seven-star experts. In this way, with Lingling and Lei Lei, he should be able to deal with Short Landi."
, I definitely didn’t expect to find a legend like Cheng Peng!
This is like a basketball game played by various departments of a university. The team of the Department of Economics is weak and usually gets beaten by dozens of points. It angrily recruits basketball players from all the freshmen in the department. As a result, this time there is a fresh retired student.
world-class players...
What is overjoyed? This is called overjoyed!
Probably because Cheng Peng's reputation was too loud, he was sitting at Qipu's table. The players around him even spoke in a much lower voice. Many people simply said nothing and tilted their heads to steal.
Listening to what they were talking about, they looked like curious babies.
"...The general situation is like this." Chip explained in detail what happened during this period, focusing on several battles related to Shortlandy, and finally sighed deeply, "That guy is really
It’s too difficult to deal with! We really can’t do anything about it, so we sent out an invitation, hoping to find reliable experts to help..."
"But I really didn't expect to invite you!" A young woman with freckles on her face said with a smile, "It's completely unexpected!"
"Yes! It's like buying gold just for the purpose of preserving value, but the price of gold has doubled..." A fat magician wearing a gray magic robe laughed and looked very happy.
Chip has already introduced him and his teammates to Cheng Peng and Shen Qi: Rider Red Chip, who owns the Astral Pegasus mount and is good at charging from the air; a warlock with extraordinary attainments in enchantment spells and alchemy Jiang Zhi; part-time shooter Joanna Longman, an artificer who uses the spirit machine; Lucy A Reed, a heavily armored warrior; Dante Silver, a shooter who uses large magical firearms; good at casting spells quickly and specializing in assisting Yan Yu, the immortal sorcerer who uses magic; and Lin Shao, the forbidden spell mage who has extremely low defense but extremely powerful offensive spells. This seven-person team is led by Qip, who is a seven-star entry level student, and the other six are all at the peak of six-star level. In the current big adventure, it is an adventure team that can barely step into the first-line level.
Their luck has always been relatively bad, and they have never been able to obtain very good equipment from monsters. Over time, everyone has become disinterested and changed their goal to getting more money, and then spending money to buy equipment. It is for this reason that they selected this small town as a temporary base more than a month ago - there is nothing else here except a gold mine nearby. Although players cannot go to the gold mine to collect gold, the city's The managers are quite wealthy and never hesitate to reward the warriors who defeat monsters. They are considered a group of qualified financial backers.
"So how much is the bounty for Shortlandi?" Shen Qi asked curiously, "With so many of you gathering here and not leaving, part of the reason is probably because of the bounty, right?"
"That's right." The fat alchemist Lin Shao did not shy away from everyone's pursuit of wealth. "If converted into common currency, there are about one thousand taels of gold...per person!"
This number made Shen Qi take a breath, and Cheng Peng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows - anyone familiar with them knows that these two people are usually very calm, and it must be quite special to make them make such an expression. Amazing things.
"One thousand taels of gold is not much, but each person has one thousand taels of gold... Does that mean that as long as they participate in the Short Landi crusade and kill it, then everyone can get one thousand taels of gold?" Shen Qi Ask bluntly, "Is it okay if I work or not?"
"No problem. The bosses in this city have nothing but money!" Langman took out a magic gun inlaid with gold threads and gems, and showed it to Shen Qi like a treasure, "This magic powered by fairy magic I bought the gun with the bounty I got from killing monsters here."
Shen Qi looked at the gun. It was a seven-star silver-level weapon. Its basic attributes were average, but it had two additional features: "immortal energy moisturizing the body" and "rapid recovery". One could bring a permanent recovery effect to the wearer, and the other One can reduce the cooldown time of special shooting skills, which is indeed a very practical thing.
"This would be worth at least one thousand two hundred taels of gold at the Star Gate auction," she said.
"Wow!" Langman couldn't help but exclaimed, "You are so accurate! I bought it at this price! In order to buy it, I spent all my income this month!"
"It's worth the money. This thing should be a hot commodity for a long time." Shen Qi nodded, "Your business is very cost-effective!"
Longman couldn't help but laugh - to be able to get a nod of approval from the famous intelligence expert and senior adventurer Ms. Alris, she suddenly felt that the hard work of the past month was nothing, just like when she bought this gun from the auction house It feels the same as when I bought it.
"Everyone who participated in the war can get one thousand taels of gold..." Cheng Peng did not participate in the discussion between the two women, but pondered, tapping his fingers on the table, "It's not that I have never seen such a big deal.
But just a boss that is randomly refreshed by the system can be worth the price...Should I say, 'If you are stupid, money will come sooner'?"
This humorous irony immediately made everyone smile - the joke reputation of Chinese football has not changed even in the world of Datong, but has spread more widely.
There is now such a famous joke: the late United Nations Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim saw God after his death, and God said that he could realize one of his wishes. Waldheim happily said, "That will allow mankind to return to the world again."
An ideal golden age!" God sweated and said that it was a bit difficult to realize this wish. He suggested that he change it. So Waldheim tried hard to think of a wish that should be relatively simple in theory. "I have a good relationship with the Chinese. They
I have always dreamed of becoming a football powerhouse, so let’s realize this wish”… Everyone knows the result…
So when Cheng Peng talked about the famous saying in Chinese football, "If people are stupid, money will come quickly." Not only Jiang Zhi and Yan Yu, who are both Chinese, but also Lin Shao from Thailand, Lucy from Germany, and the United States
Longman and Chip couldn't help but laugh, and even laughter could be heard from nearby tables.
The only one who didn't laugh was Sivol. The reason why he didn't laugh was not that he didn't know the joke, but that he rarely laughed in the first place because he was born not good at expressing emotions and was a kind of person commonly known as "facial paralysis".
After joking, everyone started talking about serious matters.
The topic of course revolved around Shortlandy, a guy who had transformed from a random mini-boss to a powerful boss. The exorcist Lingling and the Sisters of Tears were also occasionally mentioned.
"...Short Landy was a executioner who was responsible for executing hangings. After becoming a ghost, he was originally just a mini-boss that refreshed regularly. In addition to being good at using long swords and spears, he was also a boss who could ignore distance and defense.
The stunt of directly putting the rope around the enemy's neck... That move is very troublesome. If you can't break free in time after being trapped, you will be forced into a suffocation state in another second. If you can't cut off the rope within ten seconds, you will be in a state of suffocation.
Will be strangled to death."
"One second, ten seconds... This time is too long, there is nothing to be afraid of." Cheng Peng did not exaggerate. For those with rich combat experience, even one second is enough.
Not to mention that there was a full ten seconds between being strangled by the rope and being strangled to death. It was enough anyway.
"Yes, so when he was a mini-boss he wasn't very powerful. We all beat him several times."
"Yes, you see, this is his unique product 'The Penitent's Cross', a six-star silver consumption item that can offset three religious crimes based on Christianity. For those who like to kick the door and start fighting without asking.
Players are very helpful.”
"There's also 'Short Landy's Noose', which we haven't discovered yet. It's a six-star silver-level equipment. Although it can only be used on humans, its hit rate and binding effect are both good. I remember that a team has been squatting there to do it.
He just sells this noose..."
"As a result, when Short Landy upgraded, they became the first batch of victims, and they were all strangled to death." Chip sighed, "And Short Landy was eyeing them. As soon as he saw them, he would immediately kill them."
They waited on the noose without saying a word. As a result, they were killed and had no choice but to change places and leave."
Cheng Peng frowned when he heard this and asked: "After it was upgraded, has the noose skill changed?"
"Yes, first it became a hit, and once hit, it was strangled and thrown away. It was no longer a suffocation, but a breath-killing one, knocking you unconscious in one shot. If no one saves you, you will die in thirty seconds - at that time it was still
Finally, there was a way to deal with it, but then he upgraded again, and the noose can choke six people at once, which is really powerful!" Lucy, the heavily armored soldier, touched her neck, feeling lingering fear.
Because she is positioned as a striker and human shield in the team, she is always the first to fight against the enemy, and is naturally the one who gets beaten the most. In the battle with Shortlandi, she was strangled to death several times.
It left some psychological shadow.
"It stuns six people at once, regardless of distance... Defense probably has no effect on it... It is indeed a very powerful skill!" Cheng Peng thought about it for a moment, nodded in approval, "To deal with this kind of guy, you need to keep it contained, you can't
Let it free up its hands, otherwise no matter how many people there are, it won't be enough for him to kill!"
"Yes! This is our idea. We gathered a lot of high-speed people to form a commando team, hoping to contain it and prevent it from letting go of the noose. As a result, this guy actually has an 'Absolute Incorporeal' skill. Although
The duration is very short, but it is enough to make the containment ineffective." A tall, thin player with long arms and legs, wearing a simple and flexible leather jacket, who was very good at running and jumping, came over and said, "Containment is such a technique.
, it is effective only if you have to contain it all the time. Once it is interrupted, it will be difficult to contain it again.”
Cheng Peng nodded again - although he never found it difficult to contain him again, he at least knew that he should not use his own standards to demand others. What he could do was something that most players would never imagine, let alone
Don't say you did it.
"After the failure of the joint crusade, we fought it several times one after another, and each time we were defeated. Everyone looked a little depressed... As a result, Lingling and Lei Lei happened to pass by, and they also joined Shortlandi.
Crusade team."
"They shouldn't be able to help much, right? I remember that Lei Lei is good at fighting and hidden weapons, and Lingling knows some magic, but after all, she mainly focuses on martial arts." Shen Qi is familiar with the characters in Demon Warrior.
, "However, the two sisters have a unique trick. The elder sister transforms into a spiritual talisman and sticks it on the younger sister's forehead. This is similar to a combined skill, and the combat effectiveness can be greatly improved in a short period of time."
"It was with that move that they were able to save their lives from Shortlandi. It was because of their hard work that we found out that Shortlandi had been promoted to eight stars..." At this point, the player
There was a sigh among them.
Compared to these players who are no more than seven-star entry-level players, the eight-star boss is too powerful and has exceeded the limit that they can deal with.
Cheng Peng and Shen Qi looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
The enemy's strength is not particularly exaggerated, but the teammates in this city... are really a bit underwhelming!
When we first fought against Saberu, although the main players were Cheng Peng and Felicia, after all, there were still a large number of six-star peak players to provide assistance, and there were also many seven-star masters to assist. Without the help of seven-star high-level players such as the Yamada brothers,
It would be difficult for Cheng Peng alone to withstand Saberu head-on.
Shortlandi may not be stronger than Saberu, but there is a lack of reliable comrades here who can fight alongside Cheng Peng.
The strongest player in this small city is only a seven-star entry level player. In the battle against an eight-star boss, a helper of this level can only be used as a support, and there is no way to shoulder the monsters together!
After thinking for a while, Shen Qi sighed and stood up.
"Anyway, since we're here, we have to fight hard - take us to meet Lingling and Lei Lei first. Maybe they can have some other suggestions."
