"Here we go, everyone, please watch the numbers on your hands. If you are selected, please come into our White Jade Building to discuss in detail."
As soon as Sun laughed, the turntable in front of him suddenly started spinning on its own.
"Is this thing still an automatic transmission?"
Liu Xing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the turntable could move by itself.
"There should be some mechanism, right? Like a pedal?"
Yin En touched his chin and said: "I remember when I was a child, I watched people threshing millet in my hometown. There was a machine with a pedal. You only need to step on it to drive the blades to rotate at high speed, thereby knocking all the millet off the straw.
.”
At this moment, Liu Xing heard the sound of dice falling to the ground, but there was no corresponding judgment result in front of him. It seemed that this judgment was a secret throw.
As for the turntable on the second floor, it has also stopped. The first number that comes out is three, which has nothing to do with Liu Xing.
Sun Xiao didn't waste any more nonsense, and turned the turntable again, and this time the turntable stopped faster, but Liu Xing didn't care about the result this time, after all, it had nothing to do with him.
Then, there were five consecutive rounds of "lottery", and the top number among the winning numbers was not the five that Liu Xing wanted to see, so Liu Xing felt that this mission might have nothing to do with him.
But before that, Liu Xing discovered that at least two of the five people who were drawn must be players, because these two people kept looking left and right when they entered the Baiyu Tower.
Of course, this can also be explained as their cautious personalities, but Liu Xing noticed that these two people were very ugly, not much different from his current appearance, so it is very likely that they added all the free attribute points to understanding.
players on.
In addition to their unique appearance, there is another very special thing about these two people, that is, they both have a very obvious tattoo on their arms. One of them has a tattoo of lightning, and the other simply has a somewhat abstract tattoo.
Eyes... So Liu Xing guessed that this person might want to get an old tattoo, but since the tattoo technology and equipment these days are not very good, it would be more difficult to get a five-pointed star tattoo, and it would also be very painful, so
Just a tattoo of an eye.
Obviously, these two players want to identify themselves with their companions born in other areas through the tattoo styles, and also want to tell other players that they are not NPCs.
This time the martial arts module is actually not friendly to players, because even players from the Cthulhu area can only use the character cards provided by the martial arts module, so it is difficult for even the most powerful players to play well.
Come, unless you have some adventure.
In addition, the settings of the martial arts module are also very different from other modules. For example, the background setting is completely different from the modules that most players have participated in, and there are no mythical creatures in the martial arts module.
, there is only one World of Warcraft that looks like it ran from the studio next door, so players may not have fully adapted to this new environment until the martial arts module is over.
Finally, and the most important point is that the NPCs in the martial arts module are so powerful. Those top martial arts masters are almost the same as the old rulers in the eyes of players, so this creates a very embarrassing problem.
That is, not only the number of players in this martial arts module is inferior to that of NPCs, but the quality is far inferior.
As a result, players cannot say that they have no influence on this martial arts module, they can only say that it is better than nothing. Therefore, the ten final victory places of this martial arts module are regarded as a big draw by players, which is equivalent to being taken by one hand.
A lottery ticket, and those who work hard will only get one more lottery ticket at most.
Therefore, before the martial arts module started, many players began to lie down in the forum, announcing that they would not join a certain force, because in their eyes, it would be like being cannon fodder; however, in order to protect themselves, these players also launched
The initiative for players to help each other is, as Liu Xing and others thought before, players in the same area unite with each other, at least not to cause obstacles behind their backs, and at the same time, they advance and retreat together when encountering certain major events, so as to
Keep everyone safe.
Some players have even thought of setting up a Raleye Association in every city, which is to create a fictional seaside town called Raleye, and then all players claim to be from
This town gives players a reason to gather together to advance and retreat together. After all, this kind of association is quite common in this martial arts module, because it is not easy to travel far away these days, so some powerful towns will be in
Set up hometown associations in places or big cities where your people often go to ensure that your people will not end up without any friends there.
Of course, the place name Raleye Town is quite understandable to NPCs. After all, it was rare in ancient times to have three-character place names, so the players on the forum have already thought about the name "Raleye".
How to explain it, that is to say, the first batch of residents of Laleye Town came from other places, and they came from Lagu City, Laiyue City and Coconut City that can be found on the map of the New Dragon Empire, so they were establishing
After they settled down, they took a word from the city where their ancestral home was, so it was called Raleye Town.
Moreover, these three cities are located in the central, southwest and northeast of the New Dragon Empire respectively, so this can also explain why the residents of Raleye Town seem to have very different styles.
At the same time, in order to ensure that no NPC enters the Raleye Association by mistake, all players who join the association must have a tattoo. Because the New Dragon Empire is the same as the ancient Chinese in the real world, tattoos generally appear as a form of punishment. For example, in the last
A common tattoo practice is to tattoo the prisoners' faces first, and then send them to a certain place to serve as laborers, or even directly to the army; so in ancient times, if you saw someone with a tattoo on their face, you could be sure of it.
People 100% commit crimes, and the meaning of facial tattoos is also this, that is, it allows ordinary people to see the problem at a glance.
If you scroll further forward, you can find that the earliest tattoo is the "anti-counterfeiting mark" on the slave. Through this tattoo, you can know who the slave in front of you belongs to, and even if the slave can escape, it is easy for him to escape because of the "anti-counterfeiting mark" on his body.
Tattoos reveal identity.
Of course, in the martial arts module, there is a type of people who take the initiative to get tattoos, that is, some sects will give tattoos to their official disciples. The first function is to distinguish their identities, and the second is that the tattoos are also helpful in practicing martial arts. To put it bluntly,
Stack a buff.
All in all, it was not a good thing to have tattoos in ancient times, so most NPCs did not have tattoos. Therefore, now you can wear tattoos by default in the martial arts module, and there is a 90% chance that people with distinctive tattoos will
Sex is a player.
"Those two people should be from Raleye Town."
Because there were NPCs around, Yin En could only choose his words, "Except for those from Raleye Town, few people would have tattoos on their arms, and the tattoo style is so strange."
"Yeah, especially those eyes are very strange."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, the sixth wheel also came out with its first number.
five!
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing and the other three were all bright-eyed, because they finally had a chance to be drawn... But the good times didn't last long. The second number was one, so Liu Xing and the other two had no hope again.
In the next three rounds of the carousel, the first count was not five.
"It seems we are not having good luck today."
Liu Xing said that, but what he was thinking about was that there was still a chance to draw one of the three of him in this last round of the carousel.
Such as yourself!
The main reason why Liu Xing is so "confident" is that this mission involves the statue of Yehou, so Liu Xing estimates that Ao Guanhai will operate in secret at this time, at least giving himself a quota to get close contact with the statue.
.
But what Liu Xing didn't know was that Aoguanhai could only worry "in the sky" at this time, because it didn't know who it would draw in the last round.
The results are out, the first number of this final round is five again!
Liu Xing was overjoyed and felt that this time it was stable, and it was indeed the case. The next two numbers were six and eight respectively, which happened to be Liu Xing's hand number - five, six and eight.
"Hey, I got hit."
Liu Xing said with a smile: "Then I will go in first. Lao Yin and Lao Ding, you guys are waiting for me outside."
Ding Kun nodded and said seriously: "Then you should be careful. I always think that statue looks a little scary, and its origin is not simple, so you must be careful."
"Yes, if there is any problem, don't use this thing, otherwise something will happen." Yin En added.
Liu Xing didn't say much, just nodded and walked into the White Jade Tower.
The first floor of Baiyulou has a very classic store layout, but it sells a wide variety of products, including antiques, calligraphy, paintings, swords, and more. There is even a special counter selling flowers, birds, fish, and insects.
After verifying the cards in his hand, Liu Xing was taken to the second floor by the guys from Baiyu Tower, which was a large living room. At this time, Sun Xiao and the nine people who had been drawn before were already seated, leaving only Liu Xing.
The star left a position farthest away from the Night Roar statue.
But even so, Liu Xing could still feel the oppressive feeling brought to him by the Yehou statue! Even this statue was less than thirty centimeters in height.
Sure enough, there is something wrong with this statue.
After Liu Xing took his seat, he found that in addition to the two players he had recognized before, there were three other people whose expressions were a little strange. They seemed a little serious, a little confused and worried, and they all looked at Yehou from time to time.
The statue occasionally glanced at the two players who had revealed their cards.
So Liu Xing quickly took a look at the other people and found that their expressions were as usual at this time. When they looked at the Yehou statue, they all had expressions of wonder and admiration on their faces, as if they had seen a perfect work of art... Of course.
, Liu Xing could also see desire and even greed in their eyes. If it weren't for the two strong men holding long swords next to Sun Xiao, Liu Xing would have guessed that these people would have taken action directly.
As for those two players, the rest of them didn't even look at them.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing knew that these three people were probably players, and this Yehou statue would only exude a sense of oppression to the players! That's why he and these five players were afraid of this Yehou statue.
heart, while others only think that the appearance of this Yehou statue is very perfect and it is a masterpiece. Plus, now that they have the opportunity to get this Yehou statue, how can they not be ready to make a move?
Just when Liu Xing thought this would be another round of lottery, a young man with a tattoo on his face walked out of nowhere, pointed at the four NPCs and said directly: "I'm sorry, the four of you have been eliminated.
.”
Liu Xing noticed that the tattoo on this man's face was circular, and according to the explanation given by the New Dragon Empire, the man with the circular tattoo on his face had been tortured with a cane and was about to be sent to the frontier to serve as an army.
"Why?! Haven't we done nothing yet? How come we were eliminated!"
A middle-aged man stood up, pointed at the young man and wanted to say something, and saw that the two strong men beside Sun Xiao had already drawn their swords.
Seeing this situation, the middle-aged man could only shut up with a look of fear.
The young man shook his head and said seriously: "You have heard before that this statue was carved by Master Dong Dao after he had a nightmare, so Master Dong Dao believed that this statue brought bad omens, so he and
When those who are destined for it see it, they should be slightly afraid in their hearts, but I can't see this from your expressions! So according to the regulations set by Master Dong Dao, I can only sentence you to be
Eliminated."
Is there such an operation?
Liu Xing really didn't expect that all the NPCs would be eliminated immediately.
Although they were a little dissatisfied, when they saw the long swords in the hands of the two strong men, the four NPCs could only curse and choose to leave, while Liu Xing and others looked at each other, because at this time everyone was sure that each other was
player.
"Everyone, let's decide who can take this statue last!"
The young man found a seat and sat down casually, and continued: "My name is Tang Sheng, and I am a follower of Master Dong Dao! As you can see, I was originally going to be sent to Shacheng to serve as a thief soldier for thirty years.
However, Master Dong Dao felt that I was still young and should not suffer so much in Shacheng, so he left me and some other people as his followers, usually running errands for him; anyway, this time I escorted the statue.
, just to find an owner for the statue according to the conditions proposed by Master Dong Dao, so you'd better follow your heart and don't act smart, because you don't know what you have to do to get this statue."
The Shacheng that Tang Sheng mentioned was a city located in the southernmost part of the Xinlong Empire, and next to this Shacheng was an endless desert!
