Chapter 165 The Reality of the Outside World That Zhang Fan Doesn't Know!
Chapter 165 What Zhang Fan doesn’t know is the real situation in the outside world! (Please subscribe!)
"Do you think the Barbarian King can pass the level?!"
"Most likely not, their team is full of rotten fish and shrimps..."
"That's right, Queen of Peach Blossom and King of Rocks are all choosing the ones they don't want. If you can pass the level, I'll stand on my head and eat shit..."
"Moreover, there is not a single person in their team who has cleared the customs, which is equivalent to a complete wasteland reclamation. I heard that when the Peach Blossom Queen and others first opened up the wasteland, they fought more than a dozen times before they cleared the customs..."
"That's right, when King Yan knew the strategy for clearing the level, he had to play it three times before he could clear it..."
In the Sky City, Xuanwu Square was abuzz with people. Eight out of ten people were talking about whether the Barbarian King could pass the level, and the remaining two were also talking about things related to the Barbarian King.
It can be said that the sudden appearance of the Barbarian King directly broke the existing pattern.
"The changes are so fast. A rock king just appeared. Who would have thought that this barbarian king would appear again..."
"Yes, now, the City in the Sky will become a tripartite force..."
At the place closest to the stone statue, more than thirty level five experts were all gathered together and chatting animatedly.
It can be said that except for the eighteen people who entered the dungeon, all the level five experts were present.
"King Yousian, you are too stupid. If you hadn't given the Barbarian King fifteen thousand crystal cores, would he be able to recruit a wet nurse?!"
A level 5 expert from the Peach Blossom Queen's regular team said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
King Yousian snorted coldly and said: "If it weren't for your Peach Blossom Queen not selling us food, would we have asked the Barbarian King to cooperate?!"
In order to cooperate with the Barbarian King, he lost face. He thought that when the Barbarian King reached the fifth level, he would know the importance of wet nurses and how big a mistake it was to offend them. He also imagined that he would wait for the moment when the Barbarian King licked his face and begged for mercy and admitted his mistake.
, but who would have thought that the Barbarian King turned around and gathered a team to download the copy.
"Hmph, you don't even know whether the Barbarian King has a wet nurse, so you dare to give him fifteen thousand crystal nuclei. It's ridiculous..."
The people on Queen Peach Blossom's side were also very unhappy. They had been holding back their energy and wanted to suppress the people on King Rock's side, but who would have thought that King Rock's idiot would inadvertently create another competitor.
"Okay, okay, who is right and who is wrong in this matter, it is not our turn to correct it here. No matter what, we have to wait until King Rock and your captain come out..."
However, the Tiger Smell King did not want to waste energy arguing with the other party. He shook his head and said: "Now I just hope that the Rock King can come out quickly and take countermeasures as soon as possible..."
"That's the truth. By the way, you guys, let me make it clear to you. When the Barbarian King and others come out, everyone and no one is allowed to tell them the strategy for clearing the level. Don't tell them any details..."
"Damn it, what do you want to say?!"
The teammates of Peach Blossom Queen and Rock King now only hope that Barbarian King and others will slow down the progress of the dungeon strategy, and wait until the two leaders, Rock King and Peach Blossom Queen, come out, and then discuss countermeasures.
…
【Return to platform】
【Return to the square】
After Zhang Fan killed Xuanwu, two options appeared in front of him.
Below these two options are two arc-shaped portals that look like galactic vortexes.
However, the five corpses lying on the ground were not resurrected.
"Hey, are you here?!"
Zhang Fu tried shouting, but no one responded.
"Go back already?!"
Zhang Fan could not see the state of the 'souls' above their corpses, so he just assumed that these people had gone out.
"No matter, let's unpack it first..."
Zhang Fan geared up, drove to the treasure chest, and slowly opened it.
[Open Xuanwu Treasure Box]
[Ding, you found a follower contract! 】
[Ding, you found the Xuanwu Ring (blue): increase speed by 1 point, increase physical strength by 1 point, increase spirit by 1 point. Durability: 99/100]
"Exploded the Xuanwu kit!!"
Zhang Fan looked excited, and then he was surprised by the attributes of the Xuanwu Ring and said: "Damn it, three more attributes?!"
The Neptune ring in his hand only increased his power by a little, but the Xuanwu ring increased it by three points, a difference of three times.
"According to this calculation, the eight pieces of the Neptune suit, not counting the set effect, can add 7 attribute points. If it is replaced by the Xuanwu suit, wouldn't it add 21 attribute points?!!"
"Twenty-one attribute points are equivalent to an increase in attribute points by one level!!"
Zhang Fan was a little shocked. Each of them only gained 5 points in each attribute after being promoted by one level, and the total of the four items increased by 20 points. And this Xuanwu suit, with the basic bonus of only eight pieces of equipment, can reach the level of one level.
.
"If the suit effect is added, it is very likely to be stronger than the guy who has been upgraded to level 6 and has no equipment..."
Originally, Zhang Fan thought that equipment was a tool for making money, but at this moment, he finally understood why the Peach Blossom Queen was able to put together this game, because equipment can truly enhance strength.
"The current market price of the Xuanwu suit is 5,000 per piece, and one set is almost 50,000, which is equivalent to half the experience of upgrading from level 5 to level 6..."
"If you can get this set together in advance, the strength will be basically comparable to level six, and if you are fast enough, you may be able to sell this set at the original price after you reach level six..."
Zhang Fan didn't know that there were five faint eyes staring at him around him.
"Go back quickly!"
"Let us come to life..."
Everyone was helpless. In their soul state, their teammates were not dead, and they didn't know how to recover, so they could only quietly watch Zhang Fan perform a one-man show here.
At this moment, Zhang Fan looked around like a thief, then put away the Xuanwu Ring, coughed, and seemed to be talking to the air.
"Alas, this Xuanwu is not very powerful. I only lost one contract..."
As if to increase his persuasiveness, Zhang Fan went to the tiger's body and said seriously: "Tiger, I'm not lucky, the Xuanwu treasure chest only dropped the contract..."
"..."
The five people in the audience watched Zhang Fan's performance in stunned silence.
He seemed to be practicing in advance to answer everyone's questions, asking and answering questions himself, telling everyone that he was unlucky.
Of course, except for Liu Yining, he did not say this to Liu Yining.
But in the ghost state, Liu Yining felt her face getting hot.
Lord Barbarian King...all of your performances have been seen!!!
Madam, madam, I’m so embarrassed...
Everyone understood that the Barbarian King must have thought that they had all gone back, so he was planning to pretend that he was unlucky and wanted to steal the Xuanwu Ring!!
As Zhang Fan spoke, he took out the Charm +1 mirror he had obtained before and admired his performance: "Well, not bad, his acting skills are superb. In the past, it would have been no problem to win the Best Actor Award!"
"It's almost time to go out. They should be on that platform, right?!"
After Zhang Fan put away his things, he came to the portal of [Return to Platform] and dived in.
The moment he got in, the five corpses behind him including their 'souls' also dissipated, disappearing along with the whirlpool.
"Swipe!"
Zhang Fan only felt as if he had traveled through time and space. He was in a trance. When he opened his eyes again, his figure had appeared on the platform he first entered.
And around them, there were five other people!
"I'm so angry!!!"
As soon as he came out, Zhang Fan shouted with annoyance, looking like he was unlucky, and said sadly: "I am so unlucky that my mother opened the door for me. I am so unlucky!!!"
"Brothers, you don't know that after you died, I defeated the strength of nine cows and two tigers, and with my handsomeness and wisdom, I took down the Xuanwu..."
"As soon as the treasure chest was opened, I was dumbfounded. It was just a follower contract. I almost vomited blood..."
As Zhang Fan was talking, he suddenly noticed that the five people around him were silent and all looked at him with strange expressions.
Liu Yining couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a step forward, lowered her head, and said: "Master Barbarian King, after we died, we have been floating on the corpses, and we just came out with you..."
ah?!
Zhang Fan's face froze. So, these people saw the way he acted before?!
At this time, the fierce tiger spoke, "I saw the Xuanwu Ring. It added three attributes. You almost jumped up..."
After a brief moment of embarrassment, Zhang Fan suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, I'm just kidding, I've known for a long time that your souls are floating in the air, and I'm acting with you. I'll scare you!!!"
"..."
Everyone showed polite yet embarrassed smiles.
Damn it, Liu Yining, it’s true, you didn’t remind me of this kind of thing earlier!
Damn, this is so embarrassing!!
No matter, anyway, I just know that other people’s souls are floating, so I’m joking with them!
Well, yes, I was kidding them!!
Zhang Fan's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he smiled and said: "The atmosphere has been lively, now, we should discuss how to distribute it!!"
Seeing Zhang Fan's innocent appearance, everyone was surprised and wondered, could this guy really be joking with them?!
"Ahem, this trip, we got a total of one Xuanwu ring, one Hongbo sword, two pieces of Neptune equipment, one piece of Night King equipment, three pieces of fine iron equipment, and a follower contract..."
"Based on the market value, it's worth almost six thousand crystal cores in total..."
After Zhang Fan finished speaking, everyone present's eyes lit up. Six people got one point, which was equivalent to at least 800 crystal cores for each person. It was a huge profit!
Eight hundred crystal nuclei, placed in the outside world, is equivalent to killing a level four mutant beast.
It doesn't look like much, but the problem is that they didn't take any risks. This city in the sky can be resurrected after death, and most importantly, it only takes half an hour!!!
Of course, there are six thousand crystal cores this time, purely because of the explosion of the Xuanwu Ring. Otherwise, there would not be so many. Under normal circumstances, an average of about one thousand crystal cores can be dropped in one trip. Six people get one point.
That's more than a hundred per person.
Zhang Fan saw that the others were silent and all looked at him, understanding that they wanted him to make up his mind.
After thinking about it for a moment, Zhang Fan said: "See if anyone wants these equipments. Which one we want, we will digest it internally first, and then sell the others..."
Several people looked at each other, but the tiger didn't say anything. He didn't have much need for equipment, he only wanted crystal cores and food.
Hongfeng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Captain, can that Xuanwu ring be replaced internally?!"
Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Of course, since we are doing it internally, it is best to digest it internally first. If you want, just make up for the remaining crystal cores that were deducted from you..."
"I want it!"
Before Zhang Fan finished speaking, Hongfeng agreed and said: "I also want the Night King's boots and the Night King's hat..."
"Do you have so many crystal nuclei?!"
Just when Zhang Fan expressed his doubts, Hongfeng showed 13,000 crystal nuclei through his personal backpack...
"It takes 100,000 experience to upgrade from level 5 to level 6. Before the crystal core is less than 100,000, exchanging experience for it will not increase your strength. It is a bit wasteful. It is better to keep it and see if you can use it..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Hongfeng finished explaining, another mage next to him said: "I also want this Xuanwu ring..."
ah?!
Zhang Fan looked at these two people in confusion. Are these guys so rich?!!
However, he also understood what Hongfeng said. When he was at level 4, he had more than 4,000 crystal cores in his hand, but he didn't directly convert them into experience. Instead, he kept them until he reached level 5 before using them.
.
Several people picked and picked for a while, except for the contract, which Zhang Fan clearly stated that he wanted, everything else was covered by the three mages.
"No, what are you doing with this Hongbo sword?!"
"I have a friend who can use it, so I bought it for him!!"
Although the reason was far-fetched, there were quite a few crystal cores, and they were all bought at the market price. All Zhang Fan could think of was that these guys wanted to resell them. However, they were already at the market price, and how much a premium could be given was, in his opinion, at most
It doesn't hurt to just resell it and make a few dozen crystal cores.
In the end, Zhang Fan got 2,150 crystal cores and a contract. Of course, this was the quota allocated between him and Liu Yining, totaling 3.75%.
After Hongfeng got the Xuanwu ring, she put it on directly. It was only then that she breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "Captain, don't you want this Xuanwu ring?!"
Zhang Fan smiled happily and said: "I am not as rich as you. I have just reached level five and I am extremely poor. How can I afford this thing!!"
In fact, Zhang Fan was thinking about another dimension.
The Xuanwu suit is worth 50,000 yuan, and there is almost no big bonus until you collect it all.
And even if they were all gathered together, it would only be able to transform him from a level 5 strongman to a level 6 strongman, and the improvement was not big enough to make him excited.
After all, for Zhang Fan, the university town is very comfortable. Not to mention level 6 zombies, even level 5 zombies have not appeared. Level 4 zombies are so strong that they have no potential to continue evolving to level 5...
When he was level 4, as long as he was careful, he could almost walk sideways in the university town. Now that he is level 5, no zombies can kill him with his eyes closed. Whether the equipment is good or not, there is not much need now.
On the contrary, if he used the money from a set of Xuanwu sets to upgrade his superpowers, he would be able to create five more level five powerhouses.
Not to mention that the five strong men are all the perfect nanny. Just five ordinary fifth-level strong men, all with the same share as these mages, one person can give him two or three scores at the end of the day.
Thousand crystal nuclei, five people are ten thousand crystal nuclei!!!
Fifty people, one hundred thousand crystal nuclei a day...
Of course, to that extent, the market price of Sky City's equipment is estimated to have depreciated to the point of depreciation.
But according to the information he learned, the equipment will definitely depreciate. Therefore, instead of equipping himself, it is better to convert all the equipment into money when it is at its highest price. This is the best choice for him to maximize profits.
Thinking that Hongfeng had rescued Liu Yining before, Zhang Fan raised his voice and said, "If you buy it like this, you won't be afraid that the price of the equipment will drop in the future?!"
Hongfeng shook his head, showed a bitter smile, and sighed: "If you can improve your strength, who cares about the future..."
Zhang Fan was startled, a little puzzled, and said in confusion: "You are already at level five, how can there be zombies that can threaten you in reality?!"
He feels that even if there are level five mutant beasts around, he can't afford to offend them, but he can always hide them, right?!
The three mages and the tiger were all surprised and looked at Zhang Fan with strange eyes.
"Captain, your place... is safe?!"
Zhang Fan scratched his head. He knew that the place in their university town was indeed different from other places, but he didn't know much about the specific differences. After all, he had never been there in his last life, and he only heard about it in this life.
"It's not that safe anymore..."
Zhang Fan coughed and said, "We still have a lot of third- and fourth-level zombies..."
Speaking of which, in the university town, the Aviation College and the Automotive Mechanics College encountered two level four zombies.
"Zombies..."
Hongfeng was a little surprised and said: "Captain, don't you have any mutant beasts there?!"
Yes, walk south along Shizhen Middle Road in the university town. Outside the southernmost school, there are mutant beasts, ferocious pig beasts, and wattle chicken beasts. Each of them has mutated from domesticated to wild, and they are quite powerful.
…
Of course, Zhang Fan also noticed something was wrong and asked: "The environment we are in is somewhat special, what is your situation like?!"
The four of them were silent. From between the lines of Man King's words, they could tell that the living environment over there was really comfortable.
The tiger's expression was a little complicated, and his voice was a little heavy as he said: "The situation on our side is very complicated..."
"I won't talk about fighting zombies. The truly terrifying enemies are never zombies..."
"Our special forces were conducting special training in the mountains of Shihuangling, and we just happened to catch up with the disaster..."
"After dealing with the mutated teammates, we reported to the nearest garrison..."
"We were temporarily incorporated as a whole and went to Long'an first to try to regain this provincial capital city..."
Long'an?!
Zhang Fan and Liu Yining were shocked. Was this tiger ever so close to them?!
He quickly asked: "What happened next?!"
The other three people are also a little curious. They are pure Sanren and want to know what happened to these once the most powerful violent departments in the world.
The tiger shook his head and sighed: "There are too many zombies in Long'an, tens of millions of them. Without satellite navigation, most of our missiles are like blind and cannot be used..."
"Moreover, the more powerful the weapon, the more it requires various permissions and a lot of passwords. Most people who know the passwords and have permissions are dead and scattered. The entire firepower arsenal has very limited equipment that can be mobilized.
…”
"Not long after the fight, the superiors decided to retreat to Lin'an City..."
"Lin'an City, you probably don't know this place. Long'an City has a special geographical location. There have always been independent rebellions in the dynasties over the years. To prevent the place from having second thoughts, they specially created Lin'an City to decentralize power and balance...
…”
"The two cities are not far from each other. If you leave the city in the north of Long'an and walk dozens of kilometers, you will enter the jurisdiction of Lin'an City..."
"Between the two cities, there is not a complete wilderness, but an industrial park. The mutant beasts we encountered were not strong, so we went all the way north and reached Lin'an City..."
"It only took three days for us to regain Lin'an City. I thought this would be the first step for us humans to regain our dominance..."
When the tiger said this, a look of pain appeared on his face, and he shook his head and said: "Who knew that the real nightmare would begin when the recovery begins..."
"We found out later that high-level mutant beasts hate the smell of zombies. They rarely attack the center of the city, and at most attack on the periphery of the city..."
"After clearing out the mutant zombies, we will become the key target of the mutant beasts..."
"At that time, endless mutant beasts came from the wilderness..."
"After there are no more zombies, the whole city is full of mutant beasts..."
"At that time, I finally managed to get a position, but I was beaten to pieces..."
"Alas, good things never come singly, and misfortunes never come singly. I thought that the endless mutant beasts would be scary enough, but who knew, a large sea of strange flowers actually appeared in the south..."
"The sea of flowers is constantly expanding. People eat people and animals eat animals. They are not afraid of water, fire, or cannonballs. If one piece dies, another piece will grow again..."
Right!
Zhang Fan looked solemn. This was exactly the same as the information he heard before. There were indeed troops evacuating from Lin'an City, and it turned out to be the Tigers.
"Among the mutant beasts at that time, let alone level 5, what's more, there were level 6, and even level 7 mutants. They simply didn't give humans a way to survive. Those mutant beasts evolved so fast that they were not human at all.
What can be blocked..."
The tiger had a dumbfounded expression on his face and said: "I can't tell whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. Originally, we were all about to be beaten to death by the mutated beasts. As a result, this sea of flowers gave us a glimmer of hope for survival..."
"The high-level mutant beasts also discovered the anomaly in the sea of flowers and were frightened away for most of them..."
"So, we rushed ahead of the expansion of the sea of flowers, took advantage of its north wind, and headed north. Finally, according to the terrain map deduced by the staff, we selected a county where the sea of flowers would not spread at all, and conquered it...
…”
"However, this time, we did not dare to kill all the zombies, for fear of attracting a large number of mutant beasts again..."
The tiger shook his head and sighed: "Who would have thought that we seem to be stronger than zombies, but in this end of the world, we rely on these zombies to survive..."
Zhang Fan was greatly shocked by these words.
This is completely different from what he knows!
Although he knew that after staying in the university town for two years, they were almost completely sealed off and never received any information from the outside world, he did not expect that the outside world would be so dangerous.
Moreover, zombies have become the reason why mutated beasts have not invaded the city in large numbers.
Hongfeng was also in a very low mood, and added: "The place I live in is a fourth-tier city. At first, staying in the suburbs was relatively safe. Zombies in the city rarely came out, and mutant beasts outside the city rarely came in...
"
"But recently, the mutant beasts near us seem to have kings. I don't know whether they are kings at the seventh or eighth level. Although these kings themselves do not want to enter the city, they keep driving the mutant beasts below to attack the city...
"
"Level 4 and 5 mutant beasts form a large group as soon as they appear. Not to mention that I am only at level 5. Even if I am at level 6, when encountering such a tide of beasts, I can only retreat into the city..."
Another mage added: "Yes, this is the same situation here. Originally, we stayed in the suburban development zone, but now, we are forced back to the old city by those mutated beasts. There are many zombies here...
"
"Yeah, mutant beasts hate zombies. It's easy to tell from this situation. We don't dare to kill zombies easily. We're afraid that killing zombies will cause mutant beasts to lose all restraints and rush in...
"
"Before, I thought it was better to stay in third- and fourth-tier cities than in first- and second-tier cities. After all, there were fewer zombies. But now, as the mutant beasts become stronger and stronger, there are more and more zombies in our small place.
, it will be polished off sooner or later. By then, how can we stop those endless mutant beasts..."
These words suddenly refreshed Zhang Fan's old and closed concepts.
It turned out that their university town was so uniquely blessed that it was a hundred times, a thousand times better than he imagined!!
It happened to be sandwiched between the two terrifying existences and on the edge of Long'an City. There was no wilderness around it that could breed enough mutant beasts.
Moreover, the most recent mutated beasts, that is, those mutated to the south of Shizhen, are also domestic pigs and chickens. They are weak. Judging from the fact that the Jianglong team in the previous life easily resisted the mutated beasts there, these chickens and pigs
After mutation, it is the lowest level mutant beast.
This university town of theirs can be called a pure land, the last paradise!
After chatting for a while, Zhang Fan finally had a more realistic understanding of the world's structure and situation.
He knew that after he went back at night, he would have to re-formulate plans and future development directions. However, this was something that would happen later. Now, downloading the dungeon was more important. No matter what the future held, doing the things in front of him was the key.
Zhang Fan suppressed all his thoughts and said, "Now, don't waste time. Download the dungeon as many times as you can..."
"good!"
Just when the tiger was about to continue entering the entrance, Zhang Fan stopped him.
He looked at the crowd and said, "No, the six of us downloading the dungeon together would be such a waste..."
With a confident smile on his lips, he looked at Menghu and said, "Menghu, do you dare to challenge this dungeon with me, just the two of us?!"
Thanks to Ziyuxingtianxia for the reward of 500 coins, thank you to zz9 for the reward of 500 coins, thank you to Youqin Siwang for the reward of 500 coins, thank you.
