Volume 1 The Rule of Nothing Chapter 054 Advance by leaps and bounds
As expected, the small disc showed its original silver-gray shape. It turned out to be officially called the "Armillary Sphere", and its function was to record every place that had been traveled and to locate the current position. Wu Qi tossed the armillary sphere up and down a few times.
, I remembered how embarrassed I was when I was looking for Zhonghua Village. Although it was not a great thing, it was quite practical. At least I wouldn’t have to worry about getting lost in the wilderness in the future, so I put it away.
"Haha, I picked up a satellite navigation system..." Wu Qi laughed and told the two companions waiting nervously next to him. Judging from the expectant expressions on their faces, they must have gone crazy for the best and couldn't help but tease him!
"Tch~" Xiaobao raised his middle finger towards Wu Qi with disdain on his face. "Haha, it's called Armillary Sphere by such a ridiculous name. Isn't it a bit similar to the mini-maps in other games? Let's go, keep fighting!" Wang Tian
I also scoffed, straightened my clothes, and jumped twice. I was in good physical condition. I stopped the unnecessary ridicule. This is not the place for small talk.
"Third brother, what are Lu Luo doing..." Wu Qi found the little green puppet swinging around, waving his hands back and forth, as if he was scattering something. He couldn't help being curious, and hurriedly asked Xiao Bao. Wang Tian was so
As soon as he was reminded, he also looked towards Xiaobao.
"Who knows, this guy is taciturn and rarely takes the initiative to say anything to me! But it can control plants!" Xiaobao shrugged, expressing his helplessness.
At this time, the ground under their feet shook slightly, and there was a slight rumbling sound, and several people suddenly became alert. Luluo's chubby wooden hand moved faster, and the circle became larger and larger. The floor creaked and cracked.
A series of fine marks were opened, and Wang Tian hurriedly floated in the air. The ground flashed with tiny lights at the same time, and Wu Qi instinctively took a few steps back.
"Don't worry, this is the Pothos plant that has started to grow. It just sent a message that there are enemies coming from underground!" Xiaobao hurriedly reminded Wu Qi and Wang Tian.
The enemy is coming from the dark place. I don’t know what it is... There is no way to run, nor to sit still and wait for death! Green vines emerge from the fine light, shaking and extending upward, gradually getting thicker, and the bare thorns are still sharp.
The spikes suddenly turned around and pierced the trembling ground in unison, splashing up pieces of gravel and sinking into the ground, clearly discovering the enemy lurking underground.
Xiaobao screamed, and punched the ground with his right hand covered with Ice Moon Claw, "Moon Devouring Summon", the Ice Moon Claw erupted with strong silver light, and a silver line emitted from the landing point, quickly forming a circle.
, and then expanded inside to form a silver surface, a moon-eating beast with red eyes suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and let out a roar, which made Wu Qi, Wang Tian and others almost attack.
"Hey, it suddenly came to my mind! I did it unconsciously!" Xiaobao stood up straight and laughed a few times.
A crackling sound of "boom boom" came from the ground, and the shaking became even more severe. A black steel giant arm wrapped around a green rattan penetrated out from under the Moon-Eating Beast, and suddenly killed the Moon-Eating Beast with an ability value of 800.
The blow flew far away, and there was a bang, life and death unknown. Xiaobao remained silent, the Ice Moon Claw stood upright on his chest, and five claw-shaped silver shock waves flew out from the tip of the claw, dinging the giant arm like a substance.
Five cracks opened in the ground. The giant arm inadvertently retracted, leaving only a large hole in the ground.
"Damn it, someone is here!" Xiaobao said angrily, even before he saw the enemy's true face.
"Five steps down to the left!" Wu Qi suddenly spoke. Maomao's shock wave hit in the indicated direction, followed by Golden Crow's fire dragon and Wang Tian's fireball. After a huge earthquake on the ground, it exploded from the newly opened hole.
There was a loud noise, and the surroundings fell silent again.
"Be careful, it's not over yet!" Xiaobao reminded. It seems that the underground detection and attack function of Pothos is really good.
Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred directly below the three people. The cracks expanded instantly, and three giant arms shot out at the same time. Xiaobao's body shook and he quickly dodged. Wu Qi and Wang Tian groaned, covering one of their arms, and looked.
I couldn't dodge and was scratched...
It turns out to be a steel guard with an ability value of 2400. He has four arms and is good at underground attacks and has earth and fire attributes. It seems that he just killed one of his hands. A black mouth suddenly opened at the top of the three steel arms, and three burning pillars of fire rolled out.
To the three of them, fortunately Maomao fired two "Polar Freezes" in succession, which slightly eased the hot atmosphere around him. However, there was still one that continued to rush towards Wu Qi. Wu Qi hurriedly got out of the way, but Wu Qi was already surrounded by flames.
Under the protection of the shield and the effect of the copper and iron walls, his beard and hair also smelled burnt.
At this time, countless spiked vines swept in from the air and the ground, entangling the three iron arms layer by layer. A tugging sound continued, but a booming sound came, and it seemed that they could not last long. Wu Qi gestured to attack one at a time.
At the signal, Xiaobao rushed towards a giant arm first, followed by two pets, and the other two released spell attacks, which hit at the same time.
With a "boom", the giant steel arm exploded like a bomb. Xiaobao was ejected far away in the fiery red flash, and Wu Qi and Wang Tian hurried past.
"Damn it, he's even going to self-destruct!" Xiaobao had already stood up, his face was burnt and his armor was a little charred.
…
"Huhu" A few people sat on the ground panting. This steel guard was really difficult to deal with. After the fight, they didn't catch anything. They were all exploded. It did add some color to a few people. Fortunately.
As long as Wang Tian is here, there will be no serious problems after the treatment. They are just all black, like a black man.
××××××
I don’t know how long I’ve been beating for, but my muscles are sore and I’m feeling mentally fatigued. It’s time to go back and have a good rest. It seems that it’s the system’s fault again. In the past, it was fine for three days and three nights, as long as there were enough food and medicine to replenish it.
After carrying it on continuously, it didn’t take long for me to feel tired.
"Did we go to the wrong place?" Xiaobao asked in astonishment as he looked at a huge city wall in front of him, running towards the Chinese Village.
"No, isn't that Linguang River? No, there is also the lake in the distance!" Wang Tian was also a little surprised that Pan Shi started construction so quickly.
"..." Wu Qi looked at the large-scale city gate. Several teams patrolled back and forth on the 100-foot-high wall. There was a suspension bridge at the city gate, and a hundred-meter-wide moat surrounded the city. There were also several willow trees dotted on the river bank outside.
I was so surprised that I was speechless. Although construction in the game is very fast, it is not so fast.
The wind was sunny and beautiful, and I walked in from the north gate. There were also several joint defense team members here to defend the city. It was probably just for show. The real combat power should be the hired players. I just looked left and right, and it was unclear.
Don't know where it is hidden.
Zhonghua Village has returned to the bustling scene before the attack. People are coming and going at the city gate. As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see a straight avenue leading to the village, surrounded by a large open space. Looking over, several avenues have been planned.
, there were architects standing beside several pieces of land waving their arms. As they muttered words, the building materials nearby slowly decreased, and slight changes occurred on the land. It turns out that this is how the houses were built.
It’s really magical, Wu Qi sighed, but it’s a pity that he has never learned any life skills, because learning life skills means having to give up practicing martial arts. The so-called work is better than diligence, and the mind is inseparable, and it is perfectly integrated into the game.
The game is very open and free. In theory, every player can learn any skill. However, just like in real life, if you are good at music, it means you may not understand architecture. Even if you are talented, you can
Even if you specialize in five or six skills, you cannot exhaust other areas. There are many talented characters in the game. They can master a few life skills and have some success in combat. But in general, they are either strong in life skills and strong in combat ability.
It is only used for body protection, or the life skills are just to provide material support for combat, such as learning to make potions to save some money for practicing.
"It's developed now, and the territory has expanded so much! The city wall is so high, even if there are bandits attacking, they can be trapped, surrounded and killed slowly!" Xiaobao muttered.
The group of people hurried back to the meeting hall happily. Pan Shi was talking to Hua Xi in the hall. When he saw Wu Qi and others coming in from the door, his face showed joy.
"Well, my deputy village chief is not bad!" Pan Shi's face was full of pride. Although he looked a little haggard, he did not forget to show off his achievements.
"High! It's indeed high!" The three of them cheered in unison and gave two thumbs up at the same time. After receiving the compliment, Pan Shi sat on the chair and was very proud of himself, savoring the fragrant tea that had been placed on the table for a long time.
"Now the construction of the city defense is basically completed. Hehe, sorry, in order to rush for time, construction started in various places at the same time. It cost nearly 100,000 gold coins. The monsters in the Huitian Peak in the west have not invaded. However, it takes a lot of money to deal with the bandits in the east.
I paid nearly 50,000 gold coins to get them to admit that this is your territory!" What Pan Shi said next made Wu Qi almost faint, 150,000 gold coins... Sigh~ This guy really dares to do this, I don't know if there is still money left in the treasury
How much to bet.
"But, together with the city wall, word spreads from ten to ten, plus our deliberate publicity and the hidden sentries set up in the village. Confidence in our village has basically been restored, and now the flow of people is strong again. The land has begun to be sold quickly, and I have applied to open a store.
There is an endless stream of people coming in!" Pan Shi naturally understood the situation and was very confident, so he continued to report on the current situation: "One more thing, the imperial palace not long ago sent an imperial edict, ordering the establishment of patrol rooms and cells in Zhonghua Village, with 10 quotas, and players can be hired by themselves.
Or NPCs can serve as detectives to catch evildoers."
"That's a good thing, but if it's like the last time where a masked murderer happened and you don't know who it is, what's the use of the patrol room?" Wang Tian frowned and questioned.
"Let me explain this to you. After serving as an agent, you can learn the art of arresting people and identify the murderous intent of players who have killed people. The more people you kill, the easier it is to be seen through. The agent can make arrests accordingly.
You don't have to take any responsibility for the killing." Hua Xi happily joined in the fun.
"Yes, but murderous intent will dissipate over time. If you are not caught after a certain period of time, you will be innocent. There is also the comparison of if you surrender yourself to jail and pay a certain fine, and the murderous intent will dissipate in the cell.
Hurry!" Pan Shi added. Wu Qi watched the two people singing in harmony, imagining the length of the edict in his mind, and couldn't help laughing. Did the two people kneel down like he did last time?
"I still don't understand. If I was killed by a masked man, am I guilty of killing him in revenge?" Xiaobao rubbed his hands, looking thoughtful.
"Haha, stupid, why don't you understand? If you are identified as having killed someone, the arrest technique will list the time and time the murderer killed and the person. The police patrol room can issue a colorful picture with a reward, and the player can apply for a arrest warrant, so that the murderer can be killed.
He is innocent. But if there is no arrest warrant, the murderer will still have murderous intent, and he will be hunted down if he is recognized!" Pan Shi continued to explain.
"Damn, it's a bit complicated!" Douda's sweat poured down from Xiaobao's head.
"But it's a good thing anyway. Indiscriminate killing is not allowed anyway. If you want to kill, you have to consider whether you can escape the pursuit of other troublesome players." This is good news, Wu Qi also smiled.
"Don't be too optimistic!" Wang Tianye took a sip of tea and reminded: "What if the killer is highly skilled or well-organized? I don't think the patrol house may be his opponent."
It seems that these are the rules set by the Fake Hand Palace of the Management Bureau! In the last incident in China Village, there may have been complaints from players who were unjustly killed, which attracted their attention. Come to think of it, for a game that is too chaotic, I am afraid that few players would dare to come in and play.
"Report! There is flying dust 30 miles southeast of the city. Please give instructions!" A joint defense team member rushed into the meeting hall to report.
