"Lao Li, you can't do it either. Then you kicked that kid to Lao Xiao and laid his body there?"
The first time Fengshan saw Li Zheng, he jumped up exaggeratedly and shouted: "You still pretend to be fine in front of us, are you too proud of your face?"
When Li Zheng heard the sound, his face suddenly darkened and he looked at Lin Fengjiao who was following behind him.
"Don't look at Xiao Lin, she just told us that you are being treated. As for the extent of the injury..."
Zhan Zhouzhou stepped forward and said, "It takes Dr. Xiao two hours to approve the discharge. Even a fool can guess it, right?"
"That's right... hmm?" Fengshan nodded and looked at Zhan Zhouzhou in confusion: "Who are you calling a fool?"
"I didn't talk about you originally, but now I do." Zhan Zhouzhou said to Yan Guang: "Your boyfriend doesn't seem to be normal here."
She stretched out her right index finger and pointed at her temple.
"Sigh... Actually, I don't approve of him having too much contact with Lu Li."
Yan Guang pretended to be helpless and shrugged, making Fengshan jump up and down in anger: "Silly woman, just turn your elbows out now, right?"
"The college entrance examination is over, who is still reviewing?" Yan Guang curled his lips.
"Okay."
Fengshan suddenly calmed down and said, "Since you have said this, we will only take the college entrance examination from now on and not review!"
Yanguang: "???"
Zhan Zhouzhou: "...?"
Li Zheng: "!!!"
automobile!
What a fast car!
What model of car just ran over your face?
etc!
How come I, a single person, can understand the meaning of this sentence!?
尻!
Li Zheng rolled his eyes speechlessly and changed the topic: "Okay, everyone is here. Let's go in and see what tricks the terminal is playing in this awards hall."
The place where everyone was at this time was brought in by a teleportation prop issued to him by the terminal after Li Zheng confirmed receiving the award.
The environment is very simple, just an empty metal hall, with some soft light sources embedded in every corner, making the sight very comfortable.
In the center of the hall is another low building, which looks unremarkable from the outside.
A door with three silver-gray columns on the left and right supporting the wavy eaves.
"I contacted Mr. Liu Qi. When they received the award, they directly operated the terminal remotely. After selecting the type, it was distributed to their capsules." Zhan Zhouzhou said at this time: "It seems that only our team has it.
You are qualified to come to this so-called awards hall."
Yanguang was a little confused: "It stands to reason that our prizes should be distributed directly to the general's bag. Why do we have to do it multiple times?"
"This is unnecessary?"
Fengshan had a different opinion: "How can this be called unnecessary? We are number one! We are the champion! Look at those e-sports competitions, doesn't the championship have a trophy ceremony?"
"What is this called? Yes! A sense of ritual!"
Fengshan thinks that as the champions, their team will receive some special treatment and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
A sense of ritual?
Li Zheng murmured in his heart, would the terminal engage in such nonsense?
In his opinion, it shouldn't be possible.
The reason why they are allowed to come to this so-called awards hall may be because their awards are different from those received by Ma Long and others.
Is it because the quality is better?
Li Zheng eliminated this factor in an instant. No matter how good the quality is, the terminal should be able to send it directly to the player's capsule through some means.
That is……
Tickets?
Li Zheng's heart moved.
If you win, you can get an additional ticket reward to enter the outer city. This ticket does not exist in the original prize rules, but is an additional clause.
So the terminal needs to use this form to issue tickets to outer cities on the spot?
After much thought, Li Zheng felt that this idea was the most likely, and other than that, there was no other reason to explain it.
"Let's go, won't we know when we go in?"
Li Zheng took the lead and led four teammates and two pets to the door.
He reached out and pushed open the seemingly heavy metal door, and a burly figure appeared in front of everyone in the room.
The skin is light purple, there are strange lines formed by black lines on the face, and there are three eyes in the shape of a Chinese character.
His chest was bulging, and his gray-white leather armor was almost bursting open.
Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou were surprised when they saw that figure.
"Miss Zishu?"
"Why are you here?"
That figure was exactly what Li Zheng had seen once before, and he had pointed him out to discover the 'violent' blacksmith's ninth disciple - Zishu!
A tall, but extremely kind-hearted alien woman.
"You are finally here."
Zishu stood beside a long table and said with a hint of resentment.
"I received the mission from the terminal two hours ago, and I came here to wait for you to receive the award. I didn't expect you to come just now."
"There was an accident and there was a delay." Li Zheng smiled sheepishly. He did not expect that the terminal would use this manual awarding method to award prizes, and the person who presented the award turned out to be Zishu.
"Okay, come here quickly. After I distribute the things to you, I have to go back and serve Master." Zishu didn't care that Li Zheng and others were late, and waved his hand to let everyone pass.
"Do you know each other?" Fengshan followed half a body behind Li Zheng and asked in a low voice.
"Well, we met before when we went to Channel 2 and 4. Didn't I tell you in the group?" Li Zheng explained: "At that time, you and Yan Guang had to deal with Yu Xiaoyu and your father, so you two didn't go there at that time.
.”
After saying this, Fengshan was impressed: "Is this the blacksmith?"
At this time, several people had arrived in front of Zishu, and when she heard this, Zishu smiled warmly: "My master is the blacksmith, and I am only the ninth disciple of the master. Now... I can only be regarded as a blacksmith."
Let’s go to the store’s shopping guide.”
"I have admired you for a long time!"
Fengshan was looking forward to it in his heart. He had been coveting it for many days after he knew what good things others had obtained from the blacksmith shop, and he hated himself for missing such a great opportunity.
But then I thought about it. At that time, all his wealth was taken out and replaced by fire props to upgrade his 'explosion' ability. Even a transaction with Li Zheng for the right to use the 'Star Thief' had to be done on credit, let alone
I bought something in the blacksmith shop, and suddenly I felt a little more balanced.
On the other hand, Yanguang was still a young rich woman at that time, but her combat power mainly relied on the mechanical limb of her left arm, so it didn't matter whether she went to the blacksmith shop or not.
"The prizes this time are not from the blacksmith shop, right?" Li Zheng suddenly realized that the terminal asked Zishu to present awards here. Could it be that in addition to the tickets, Zishu was also responsible for the prizes?
"bingo."
Zishu nodded, confirming Li Zheng's suspicion.
"According to the conditions given by the terminal, each of you can obtain a prop up to the star level. It can be used as weapons, armor, or miscellaneous props with other functions."
Zishu took out a metal cube similar to a mobile phone, folded it, and a virtual screen unfolded on the surface, displaying a three-dimensional picture. He stretched out his hand to operate it.
Li Zhengda was curious and took a second look at the thing. The Eye of Preles was powerful once, showing the properties of the item.
【well-informed
Grade: none
Type: communication props
Description: A communication tool specially made by the blacksmith for his own shop, so that his part-time shopping guide can communicate with himself in the forging room.
This is the only one in the entire matrix, and it has been bound by the identity of the blacksmith’s ninth disciple, Zishu.]
Ho!
Good guy!
They were all in the same shop, but in order to facilitate communication, the blacksmith actually invented such a prop?
Speaking of which, the last time he went to the blacksmith shop, Zishu went to the room in person to convey the request, but now the equipment has been upgraded?
It's just a few steps, is it necessary to be so exaggerated?
However, this also made Li Zheng realize a key issue, that is, the outer city probably does not have a function like a 'chat channel'.
In other words, even if there is, after going to the outer city, even if I return to the matrix, I may not be able to use the current 'chat channel'.
Li Zheng kept this detail in mind.
'Lingtong' displayed foreign characters, which Li Zheng could not understand.
However, this form of operation reminded Li Zheng of those science fiction movies he had watched. Isn't that how the computers in the future concepts operate like this?
I feel a little cool for no reason.
"Wait a moment, let me debug it and connect it to the signal terminal in the blacksmith shop."
Zishu operated quickly for a moment, and a special effect like a refresh flashed on the virtual screen.
"Okay, come one by one, tell us the specific conditions of the prizes you want. Master will help you make the corresponding props according to the highest requirements that the Star Glory level can achieve."
Shaking the refreshed Lingtong in his hand, Zishu looked at Li Zheng and the others, waiting to enter the order into the Lingtong and send it to his master.
"Which of you comes first?"
Li Zheng looked at his four teammates. He hadn't figured out what type of props he needed yet, so he might as well let others come first.
"I'll go first."
Zhan Zhouzhou took a step forward, took out the gravity necklace and said, "I want a prop of the same type with stronger functions."
This necklace can only be driven up to ten times the gravity. Zhan Zhouzhou is almost used to this limit, so he just takes this opportunity to get a better one.
"no problem!"
Zishu inputted the requirements and sent them to the blacksmith shop, saying: "The Star Glory class can probably achieve a hundred times the gravity limit. This is already the highest gravity increase that can be achieved at present. If you want something better, you can only go outside."
This can only be achieved after there are major breakthroughs in relevant technologies."
"Only a hundred times?"
Zhan Zhouzhou frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with the hundredfold increase in gravity.
"A hundred times is already a very high level of growth." Zishu looked at Zhan Zhouzhou carefully: "If I remember correctly, it was less than twenty days before you got this necklace, right?"
"You can adapt to a tenfold increase in gravity in twenty days. Such an achievement may make you feel proud."
"However, in history, there are players who can adapt to ten times the gravity within three days, but none of them can increase the gravity increase to fifty times until the day they die!"
"The highest record holder was a Luogui player three years ago. Relying on the specificity of his own physique, he increased the increase in gravity to 49.8 times."
"Then he died of an imbalance inside and outside the body, and his brain turned into a pulp, a mess."
"When you go to the outer city, you can go to the exhibition hall opened by the Gravity Research Institute in Block 375. The specimen of the Luogui player is still on display there."
Having said this, Zi Shu showed a playful expression on his face and looked at Zhan Zhouzhou: "If you can exceed that record, maybe the next one to be exhibited there will be your specimen."
This expression, combined with her tone and the words she spoke, made Li Zheng and others gasp and feel horrified.
Is that Gravity Research Institute playing so wildly?
Just because someone broke the record, after their death, their remains were made into specimens and displayed in an exhibition hall?
Isn't this too inhumane?
"Gravity Research Institute?" Zhan Zhouzhou repeated, nodded and said, "If I have a chance, I will definitely go over and take a look."
Li Zheng and others: "..."
Good guy, what kind of weird competitiveness does Zhan Nuxia have?
Judging from your expression, it seems that you are quite looking forward to exhibiting there?
"Wait! I have a question!"
Li Zheng suddenly remembered something and asked Zishu: "I remember when Zhan Zhouzhou proposed making an 'overweight' necklace, he also eliminated materials because of this idea. Why is there any historical record of studying gravity in the outer city?"
"I knew some of you were going to ask this."
Zishu explained: "In the outer city, the gravity increase research and development project of the Gravity Research Institute has only started in recent years. The most widely used ones so far are still large and multi-person gravity facilities, and most of them are used in urban defense facilities.
, only the Gravity Research Institute stores a special gravity generating device to facilitate daily research."
"Like the Luogui players I just mentioned, they actually died while testing the upper limit of gravity endurance and obtaining research data. Otherwise, how could they be qualified to be displayed in the exhibition hall of the Gravity Research Institute?"
"As for the lightweight gravity generator proposed by this lady, which uses gravity to act on oneself to strengthen the body, no one has ever mentioned it in the outer city."
"Because this kind of prop needs to be worn for a long time to be effective, and to be honest, after arriving in the outer city, if you want to improve your physical fitness, there are really not many quick and convenient ways."
"There are very few people who are willing to invest energy in researching props like the 'overweight' collar, which are slow to produce results and have unsatisfactory effects."
Zishu said this, perhaps because he was afraid that his explanation was not intuitive enough, and took Liu Jiale, another player who made props for free that day, as an example: "Let's put it this way, wasn't there someone who made a 'Practice Stake' last time?"
Are you a prop player? In the outer city, there are many people who are 'sparring' as a profession. When you want to practice, you can find a suitable practice partner at a small price, so there is no need to study this so-called practice in one fell swoop many times.
Where’s the practice pile?”
When she said this, Li Zheng probably understood that it was not that no one had thought about this idea, but that no one had formally studied it.
In other words, people look down on such flashy things...
If something is destined to be worthless and cannot be sold after being made, why study it?
Like the 'Technology Cup' developed by 'Fifth Senior Brother', it was put on display by the blacksmith. Do you want to mess with your own mentality?
But then again, if the outer city really had not researched the gravity generating device, how did the blacksmith manage to produce the 'overweight' collar so quickly?
Seeing that Li Zheng had no other questions, Zishu picked up an opaque metal box from the table next to him, handed it to Zhan Zhouzhou, and said: "This is an extra prize. As for the prop you need, wait until it is made.
, the terminal will be sent directly to your private space."
Come to think of it, what's inside is the ticket to the outer city.
Li Zheng took a second look, and Lao Pu gave a hint: [The key box containing rare props, what is in it, you may have to open it to know the specific information.]
This means that Lao Pu can't even see through the so-called 'key box'.
Li Zheng turned his head and looked at the table. There were four identical 'key boxes', and there was no difference in appearance.
After thinking for a while, he consulted Zishu: "Do you know what's in this?"
When Zishu heard this, he looked like he was looking at an idiot: "The terminal uses a key box to seal this prop to prevent others from prying. Do you think I will know?"
Then she changed the topic: "But what happened to you this time is not a secret among the small circles in the outer city, so I actually know what is in the box."
"..." Li Zheng was silent.
Listening to your words is really like listening to your words.
Are you leaving it here or here?
"Okay, this is just our Ziling tribe's unique way of humor. If you don't think it's funny, I'll pay attention next time."
Zishu saw Li Zheng's constipated expression and thought he was angry. The blacksmith often taught her that as a shopping guide, she must not let customers be dissatisfied with all her words and actions.
This is a taboo in business!
She quickly changed her words and said: "I probably understand what you mean. You want to ask if the tickets to the outer city are different, right?"
This time, Li Zheng's expression softened and he nodded slightly.
"To tell you the truth, there are."
Zishu calmed down his emotions and his expression became much more serious: "The place players arrive in each session when they go to the outer city is random. Theoretically, they will not encounter life danger."
"But you also know that some people in the outer city will accept tasks from the terminal and temporarily enter the matrix to work."
"There may be friction with an active player during the work."
"In the Matrix, those of us from outer cities are bound by rules and cannot take the initiative to attack you."
"But when we get to the outer city..."
All intelligent beings actually have similar ideas.
Even if those old players come in to do tasks without causing any friction with current players, there might be some people among them who are trying to make a profit out of this?
after all……
In their eyes, the strength of active players is similar to that of adults looking at children.
It's not that easy to bully.
That's why these tickets for the outer city are placed in a secret safe by the terminal, out of fear that the specific information will be leaked, causing active players to be targeted by a veteran from the past, so be prepared in advance to trap and kill them.
This kind of thing must have happened before.
Otherwise the terminal will not do anything unnecessary.
"So it turns out that the outer city is only a superficial order, but in fact it is still the bloody system of the weak and the strong?" Li Zheng frowned. If this is really the case, he will be in a lot of trouble after going to the outer city.
"That's not true."
Zishu corrected: "Actually, as long as you don't risk your life and run out of the city, your life safety is still guaranteed. But you must be more careful after arriving in the outer city. At the pick-up point for active players, in addition to professional pick-ups arranged by the terminal,
Besides, there are still some people with evil intentions, so keep your eyes open to identify the other person’s identity, and nothing will happen to you.”
"Identify?" Li Zheng was stunned for a moment. What's so difficult about this?
Since it is the person who arranged the terminal, why not give some tokens or something so that the current players can distinguish the authenticity through ‘official certification’?
Li Zheng said what he thought, and then Zishu looked at Li Zheng briefly with the same look as before.
"You have to know that in this world, it is much easier to fake something than you think."
"and……"
"After you go to the outer city, it's not like there is item information for you to see in the matrix. Otherwise, why would those guys who smuggle crops go to all the trouble to come here to cultivate new species?"
Having said this, the eye on Zishu's forehead suddenly blinked: "I talked too much, and the terminal gave me a warning. Let's continue with the awards. For unnecessary topics, you can go to the outer city by yourself in the future."
Explore and you will naturally find out.”
"good."
Li Zheng had already learned about the virtues of the matrix terminal. Today he got much more information from Zishu than before, and it was very important for him to go to the outer city in the future, which would save him a lot of trouble.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The conversation between the two did not shy away from Zhan Zhouzhou and the others. When Fengshan and the others were choosing rewards, Li Zheng discussed with Zhan Zhouzhou and decided to spend today
The relevant information obtained is also published to make all players more vigilant.
It is precisely because of this move that those guys who make profits by harming current players have lost a lot of money.
The second person to choose the prize was Fengshan, who ordered a pair of gloves, which were full-arm gloves connected to the shoulders, effectively protecting his entire arm.
Moreover, it can increase the power of his attacks to a certain extent. Apart from being incompatible with the "salty pig hand", it is very suitable for him.
Yanguang didn't know what kind of prop he should choose, so he simply gave Fengshan another armor made of nanoscale materials. It was thin, soft, and could effectively reduce the damage caused by weapons such as sharp weapons, guns and ammunition.
When it was Lin Fengjiao's turn, she made an impossible request.
She wanted a set of medical tools that could treat wounds on the body's skin. Zishu bluntly stated that this type of tool was not under the control of their blacksmith shop.
However, he pointed out a clear way and asked Lin Fengjiao to find a "doctor".
In the end, Lin Fengjiao changed the conditions and got a star-level Gauss rifle, ready to go back and give it to Xiao Siyuan.
By the way, Zishu did a favor and gave Lin Fengjiao a business card to where the doctor was.
Li Zheng took a look and saw that it was exactly the same as the one he had taken.
It's just that the one in Lin Fengjiao's hand has arrows so densely packed on the surface that it's hard to count.
It seems that she still has a long way to go before she can find a doctor.
However, after finally seeing the light, Lin Fengjiao appeared a little excited, her thin body trembled slightly, and the hand holding the business card trembled visibly.
When it was Li Zheng's turn, he was stumped.
To be honest, his demand for weapons and armor is actually not very high.
In terms of weapons, the Demon Sword Thirsty Blood has just returned to the King level today, and its lethality has been greatly improved.
If Li Zheng faced Yi Qi now, he could easily break through the defense of those hands!
As for his own armor, Li Zheng was planning to purchase it after going to the outer city.
The Earth Dragon Armor itself is pseudo-supernatural. In the Matrix, as long as Li Zheng is not stupid enough to use his body to withstand the attack, it is no different from a star-level armor.
Therefore, he paid attention to "miscellaneous props".
After hesitating for a long time, Li Zheng thought of an item and slowly spoke, telling Zi Shu about his request.
After hearing this, Zishu had a troubled look on his face: "This..."
