"The news came from the Lava Mountains. Kunlun and Jiutian teamed up to attack the Boss in the desert oasis. Why don't you go and see the scene?" Zhan Zhouzhou came to Li Zheng and asked: "Maybe we can take the opportunity to kill another Boss?
"
The information she mentioned was what Li Zheng saw on the legion channel. It was what Li Chun and the others paid attention to when they listened to discussions among people from other legions.
"What catches your eyes?"
Li was watching Miriel's increasingly skillful cooking at the stove, and said without looking back: "You have to know that some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface."
"I have just been to the Lava Mountains. There is a bit of distance between Li Chun and others. How careful do those people have to be in their discussions before they hear just a few words?"
"You mean, someone wants to lend your hand to attack Kunlun and Jiutian's actions this time?" Zhan Zhouzhou understood, "Would you like me to ask Li Chun and the others to visit that legion?"
People who can be put into the lava mountains by Kunlun are not hostile to Dragon Kingdom players.
But looking at this matter, Kunlun was shocked.
Someone had evil intentions and wanted to sow discord between Li Zheng and the two families.
"It's not necessary. There's nothing fishy to be found. People can just use their idle chatting as an excuse. Subjectively, they have no intention of provoking me to cause trouble." Li Zheng shook his head and said, "It's difficult to provide evidence for this kind of thing, so why bother with it?
?”
"Besides, people who only dare to use such clumsy means can't achieve anything, so don't worry about them."
"Okay. Then..." Zhan Zhouzhou felt that what Li Zheng said made sense, nodded and changed the topic and asked: "Then do you think Kunlun Jiutian's operation this time can be successful? Although I have not faced those two bosses directly.
, but even you have to die together to kill him head-on, which means that the boss’s strength has reached the king level, right?”
"That's right, it's king level."
Li Zheng did not deny this statement. The (pseudo) king level is also a king and has reached the threshold of this level.
"It's just that they are not as strong as you think. In fact, if you are brave enough, you can kill them on the frontal battlefield."
The so-called "spending" here means that there are enough "cannon fodder" to help Zhan Zhouzhou buy time, allowing her to carry out output without any worries.
"By the way, you go to Li Chun's place and tell me that the heart armor I asked her to help sew can be given to me. You can help me get it."
"Heartguard?"
"Well, she will understand what you are talking about." Li Zheng did not explain much. He had already learned about the properties of the empty treasure box held by Li Chun through the Eye of Preles, and also knew that the other party put the high-energy core into it.
In that empty treasure chest.
"good."
When Zhan Zhouzhou saw that Li Zheng didn't want to say more, she naturally didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave.
"Wait." Li Zheng stopped her and looked up at the sky, seeming to be thinking about something.
Finally he shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's okay, you go ahead."
Li Zheng is not sure how many live broadcast cameras are still locked on him, and there are many things he dare not say openly.
"Yeah." Zhan Zhouzhou entered the portal and returned to the exclusive transfer space at the starting point, heading to the lava mountains.
After Zhan Zhouzhou left, Li Zheng pondered for a moment, and once again exercised his privileges to intercept the seafood dish just prepared by a member of Qidian. He walked to a corner of the beach with the plate and found the golden octopus wearing a bachelor's uniform.
Roemand was lying on the beach chair. Under the huge and luxurious parasol was a small table with a variety of fruits and drinks. A cool magazine was held between two tentacles. Pink hearts appeared on his head.
shaped bubbles, and occasionally let out a few obscene and suppressed laughs.
"Why are you here again?" Luo Emang sensed someone approaching, and instantly hid the magazine behind his back, switched to the form of a gentleman, and felt disgusted with Li Zheng.
In Luo Emang's heart, although he would not lose money by doing business with Li Zheng, he would definitely be disgusted.
Every cell in his body resisted contact with Li Zheng.
"Why can't I come? You are a businessman and I am a customer. Isn't it natural for customers to seek business from businessmen?" Li Zheng was holding the plate with a similarly uneasy expression.
Every time Luo Emang saw him, he felt like he had seen a ghost. However, Li Zheng himself couldn't figure out how he could have offended Luo Emang and made him so disgusted except when he shot Luo Emang the first time they met.
Own.
Since the other party doesn't look good on him, Li Zheng thinks that there is no need to put a hot face on the other party's cold buttocks, and simply put a cold face on it...
"There are a total of six businessmen in this event. Why do you keep coming to me instead of looking for others?" The two places on Roemand's face that seemed to be nostrils twitched twice, showing a hint of movement.
It smells so good~
The taste comes from that plate, it has a strong cheese flavor!
Roemand licked his lips unconsciously and glanced in the direction of the plate involuntarily, hiding it and not daring to look at it openly.
Li Zheng sat down with the plate and said angrily: 'If you weren't the closest to me and the cleanest here, do you think I wanted to come to you?'
In fact, the reason why Li Zheng was willing to come to Luo Emang was mainly because although Luo Emang was known as a 'black market businessman', he was essentially the purest one among the businessmen Li Zheng had come into contact with.
It belongs to the true type of "talking about business in business".
Other merchants are much more sinister than Roemand, especially the wandering merchant. The price he offers is definitely much higher than the value of the props he brings out!
"Tell me, what do you want to do when you come to me this time?" Luoemang looked away from the plate and said with a wary look: "As I said before, I can only sell some and
For fishing-related props, the previous operation of exchanging materials for materials cannot be reproduced before the end of the event."
Luo Emang felt that he needed to put his words to death in advance to prevent Li Zheng from playing rogue with him later.
"You think so much..." Li Zheng was speechless. He put the plate in his hand on the counter next to Roemand and invited him in a friendly way: "Come and try the craftsmanship of our race."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your race?"
Although Roemand was salivating over this plate of seafood dishes, he still had the necessary vigilance: "Don't think I didn't see it, this was all cooked by that little succubus."
"And, would you be so kind as to invite me to taste delicious food?"
Roemment pretended to be disdainful, as if he really had no interest in that plate of food.
Unfortunately, the way he kept swallowing gave him away.
Li Zheng found it a bit funny and did not point out Luo Emang's pretense of reserve. He explained his purpose of coming: "I came here mainly because I have some doubts and I would like your help to answer them."
"What doubts?" Luo Emang turned to stare at Li Zheng.
Li Zheng looked around and said nothing.
Luo Emang understood it, waved his tentacles gently, and said: "Okay, speak freely, the anchors outside can no longer target you."
Li Zheng felt that with Luo Emang's wave of hand just now, an invisible restriction appeared around him. Not only could outside anchors not be able to target them, but even the sound of the venue in Endless Ocean was cut off in both directions.
"I want to know the real purpose of the terminal's fishing competition!"
"The real purpose?" Luo Emang looked at Li Zheng playfully: "Don't you already know? To train the cooperation between the legions."
"That's it?"
"That's it!"
"But... why?" Li Zheng was puzzled, "Obviously from the beginning, the terminal asked us to act as individuals, why did a legion suddenly come out?"
"Because some crises cannot be solved by individual heroism."
Luo Emang didn't say much, just said: "There are some things that are beyond your current strength. You can explore them yourself when you go to the outer city."
"I know you still have many doubts in your heart, but unfortunately, I can't tell you everything, because you will definitely find an opportunity to spread the news and know some secrets too early, which may not be a good thing for your race."
"What's more, the rules in the matrix also dictate that certain words cannot be spoken. Don't expect that you can spread certain information after you go to the outer city and come back. It's useless."
Luo Emang didn't know what he thought of, and he looked a lot more lonely, and sighed: "Work hard to become stronger. Only by constantly improving your strength can you control your own destiny in the future, and even control the destiny of your race."
"Don't make the same mistakes we made. It's not a good feeling to be a loser."
As he said that, he waved his tentacles: "Go ahead, I've told you everything I can tell you before. You can't get any more information from me."
Looking at Luo Emang's look, Li Zheng knew that he really couldn't get more information from him, but he still asked with some reluctance: "I have heard the so-called 'crisis' from you many times before, what exactly is the 'crisis'?"
What is it? Can’t you say anything at all?”
"cannot!"
Roemand shook his head firmly: "I can only tell you that if you cannot overcome the coming crisis, then those who stay outside, and even your planet, will fall into a state of eternal destruction!"
"I see."
Hearing this, Li Zheng nodded, squatted down and drew a pattern on the beach and asked: "Is this what you call a crisis?"
Luo Emang tilted his head and glanced, then his expression suddenly changed. He jumped down from the beach chair and hurriedly wiped away the pattern, and asked Li Zheng: "How do you know?"
He dared to confirm that no old player in the matrix could leave relevant information by any means.
As a new player in this session, why would Li Zheng know the truth in advance?
"wrong!"
Luo Emang suddenly reacted: "You know this, but you are not affected?"
Not only was it not affected, but it was even possible to draw the pattern under the supervision of the terminal?
This was absolutely impossible to happen in the past.
Roemand opened his mouth to try to tell the truth, but found that no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain. The restrictions of the terminal still acted on him, and he could not tell the information related to the pattern.
Even if it’s just one word!
He waved his tentacles wildly, rolled up Li Zheng's collar, and asked with a ferocious face: "Where did you know this pattern? Tell me!"
As merchants authorized by the terminal, they also have a task, which is to eliminate all information related to the pattern in the matrix.
If someone knows about it in advance, they are obliged to take action to eliminate it. If a player knows about it, then these players will be included in the kill list and must be wiped out before the other party spreads the information.
There was once a race of players who learned everything before entering the outer city, and were eventually killed to pieces. Even their speech-related abilities were deprived of by the terminal, and they could only hide in the machine to survive.
Even so, the impact could not be completely eliminated.
Li Zheng did not expect that the pattern he drew casually would arouse such excitement in Luo Emang. He said with a sullen face: "This is what I saw with my own eyes before I was absorbed into the matrix by the terminal."
"impossible!"
Luo Emang said flatly: "Others may see this thing, but... um!~"
The words were interrupted, and Roemand opened his mouth and spurted out golden-red blood as if he had been hit hard.
Li Zheng had blood sprayed on his face by Luo Emang, and calmly raised his hand to wipe it away: "It seems that before entering the outer city, I also knew some information that I shouldn't know."
"Shut up!"
Roemand's face was ugly and his breath was weak.
He just revealed some secrets out of desperation. Although he didn't reveal them completely, the terminal still gave him a round of punishment.
If Li Zheng were allowed to continue talking, Roymand might die here today.
After waiting for a moment, the expected order did not come. Luo Emang breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "Remember! You must not tell others what this pattern represents! Otherwise, your race will go through a round of purges!
"
Luo Emang was not stupid. In a short period of time, he had figured out why Li Zheng and the person who revealed the pattern to Li Zheng were not affected.
Because there is nothing wrong with just knowing a pattern.
However, if you know the pattern while also subjectively knowing the essential existence represented by the pattern, then the terminal will pay attention and issue a task to obliterate it.
Li Zheng pushed away Luo Emang's tentacle grabbing his collar and asked: "Now that the matter has come to this, am I still not qualified to know the truth?"
"It's not that you're not qualified, it's that you don't have the strength." Luo Emang lay back on the beach chair, his whole state seemed very weak: "You may think that you have touched the king's level, and your strength is extraordinary."
"It is undeniable that most non-player beings in the outer city are not as strong as you are now."
"But you have to know that compared to the outer city, the matrix is actually only at the level of a novice."
"Whether you are a black iron level or a super god level, in the eyes of orthodox old players, you are like an ant."
"Because there seem to be more than ten levels from black iron to super god, but in fact they are all classified as 'elementary' in the outer city."
"Remember, before your strength reaches the quasi-plane level, never try to understand what the pattern represents."
Hearing this, Li Zheng's expression changed slightly: "As long as you don't understand the nature of this thing, you won't be affected?"
"That's right, so you must control your curiosity and don't inquire about the nature of this thing at will!" Luo Emang said seriously: "This is for your own good."
"I have a question."
Li Zheng thought for a while and asked: "As long as I don't know the nature of this thing, even if I face it with my own eyes, nothing will happen?"
