Volume Four, Volume 19, Chapter 234, Crisis Equals Opportunity
Volume 19 Chapter 234 Crisis equals opportunity
The two mobile angels I just threw out are not the models that our guild are now in use, but the initial experimental mobile angels that were earlier than the first generation of mobile angels. This style of mobile angels belongs to engineering prototypes, and only ten were produced in total. Three of the three were irreparable in the experiment. Two of the remaining seven were backed up and stored in the experimental area as physical data, and three of the other five were placed in the three different display buildings of the guild as exhibits, and the last two were saved here.
As soon as the two mobile angels appeared, they immediately turned their heads and looked at me. The artificial soul performance of these guys is too poor and they do not have the ability to analyze themselves. If the third generation, even the second generation of mobile angels are used now, they have the ability to judge the current situation by themselves, but these guys are not good. They need me to command the orders, otherwise they can only do some extremely simple attack and defensive behaviors.
Seeing two mobile angels looking at me, I immediately ordered: "Pull me out of here and get a bug."
After hearing the order, the two mobile angels immediately stepped forward and grabbed me and dragged them outward. Although the traction force of the gravitational field is not small, my own strength is enough to resist it. Now, there are two more mobile angels that are running with me, so naturally they will not be sucked back by it.
When the goddess of Liberty saw me running away, she became anxious, but she still bit her good and refused to let go. It seemed that if I didn't agree to give some benefits, she would never agree to take back the damn gravitational field.
The first threat to this bug after growing up is the American players and the Liberty Clan. Since the Liberty is not in a hurry, I am even less anxious. After being dragged out of the center by the mobile angel for 500 meters, I obviously feel that the gravity on my body suddenly drops a lot. It seems that this gravitational field is a phased gradient, that is, it is a gradient state within a certain range, but there will be a phased sudden change. Now, after I leave the center five hundred meters, the gravitational field is obviously much smaller, and even without the help of the mobile angel, I can support it and move barely. However, since I don’t plan to care about this matter anymore, there is no need to delay here. I directly let the mobile angel strap me out of a range of 1,000 meters. When I feel that the gravity is so small that I almost feel it, I take back the mobile angel.
I looked back at the inside of the valley. At this time, the bug and the Goddess of Liberty were blocked by the mountain and could not see it at all. Although I was a little worried that the bug would not be easy to deal with when it developed in the future, since the Goddess of Liberty refused to give up, I was not so cowardly to send it to others to help me.
Finally, I looked at the direction of the Valley of Insects, and directly summoned the bird and jumped up, then rushed to the headquarters of the Holy Spear Alliance of the Gun God at full speed.
"Why are you back so soon?" When I saw the Gun God at the headquarters of the Holy Spear Alliance, it was already an hour after I arrived here. It was not that the Gun God was a big shot, but that he happened to be not in the guild when I arrived.
Seeing that the Gun God was back, I called him directly to my side and whispered: "Are all these people around you sure that they are reliable?"
The Gun God originally thought that I was just going to ask him for a mission, but I didn't expect that I would ask him seriously with a stern face if the people around him were reliable. The Gun God, who felt something was strange, immediately put away his joking thoughts and turned around and said to the person who followed him, "Send two drinks to my office." After giving his instructions to me, he made a gesture to ask me the most, and I immediately followed him to leave the reception room.
The office of the Gun God is an independent area in the headquarters building of the Holy Gun Alliance, and is surrounded by dedicated isolation walls, which means that there are two walls between this room and other rooms.
After entering the office, there is a secretary room first. This seems to be arranged in this way by foreign companies. The Holy Gun Alliance, which looks like the Gun God, was also established according to the company's model, so his office is the president's office of a large company.
After I walked into the secretarial room outside, the Gun God said directly to the beautiful woman sitting behind the table: "Unless the guild is attacked, I will not call you, and no one is allowed to come in."
The beauty nodded, then came over and opened the door of the inner room for us. After we entered, she turned around and closed the door and rushed everyone around the Gun God to the outside and closed the door of the secretary's room.
The Gun God walked to his desk and picked up a fruit and turned around and threw it to me. Then he sat on his boss's chair and asked, "What's going on this time?
I did not directly answer the question of Gun God, but first threw all the tasks I had done before and said, "There is a task I haven't completed, and I directly counted it in my remuneration. I have taken out the rewards that belong to me in the remaining tasks, and these are all yours."
The Gun God didn't look at the scroll piled on the table, but looked at me and asked directly: "You can't let me send all my subordinates away just for this matter, right? Tell me directly what happened? I just heard you say that there was a task that had not been completed, and with your strength, he had not completed the task yet. Does that mean that the failure of this task is related to this matter?"
I nodded and said, "What I want to tell you is part of the mission. But I don't think I have to tell you about this information, but for our cooperative relationship, I think you can pay for it."
The Gun God was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Everyone said that your wife is stingy, I think you are not bad either. But your reputation is quite strong, so I chose to believe that your information must be valuable. Tell me, how much do you want?"
"Help me get the souls of ten gods."
The Gun God, who thought I would ask for money, almost turned down from his seat with a thud. "What did you say? The souls of the gods? There are ten more? Do you think the gods are sheep and kill them if you want to?"
"Is there a little more ten?"
"It's not a question of whether there are too many or not. I can't get that thing at all, okay?"
"No, move your brain, I didn't specify that the soul of the free gods must be. I am quite optimistic about your strength."
The Gun God frowned and thought for a long time before speaking: "All understand people, it's meaningless to bargain and waste time. I'll tell you directly that at most three gods' souls, no more than one."
I smiled slightly when I heard the words of the former god, and then said directly: "The last mission in the Valley of the Insect requires looking for something in the cemetery, but the mission scroll does not mention what exactly needs to be found."
"What's the result?"
"As a result, we found a black stone sarcophagus from the bottom of the tomb. The surface of the sarcophagus was filled with dense ancient magical texts. When we opened the coffin, a mummy popped out from it. The guy was very fast and moved like a monkey, but he died after only two moves with us."
"It would be a trivial matter to kill a mummy with your strength?"
"The problem is here. That mummy was not killed by me."
"It wasn't you doing it? Is there anyone else in the cemetery?"
"No, there was a bug in the mummy's belly. Just after we released him, the bug seemed to have completely awakened, and then gnawed all the mummy from it. Then the bug broke through the mummy's body and drilled out of the body. After eating the entire mummy, the guy gnawed the entire black sarcophagus coffin, and then even the marble coffin sealed outside the black sarcophagus coffin was gnawed off."
"A bug that eats everything?"
"To be precise, it is a bug that looks very much like an ancient giant centipede. After gnawing the coffin, the guy ate the bugs in the tomb and ran outside. During this period, the guy's body size has been growing longer. We followed and studied for a while and confirmed that this guy can increase his body size by eating various energy."
"Even a growing bug is no big deal, right?"
"No, this bug is very troublesome. In order to prevent him from attacking us in the tomb, we set up a defensive barrier around him, but he actually ate the magic barrier."
"What? He can even eat the magic barrier?" The Gun God began to pay a little attention to my words.
I continued, "This is not the end. Then, just as we were about to catch this bug and go back to study, the goddess of Liberty appeared with a bunch of subordinates, and their target was clearly the bug."
"What do you mean is this mission scroll involving the Liberty Clan?" The Gun God is also a high-level player, and he must have done a lot of various tasks, so he basically knows the characteristics of the task. As soon as I said that the Liberty and the others came for this bug, he immediately guessed that the Liberty Clan and his team appeared as the task NPC, which also explained why I failed to complete the task. After all, we have a bad relationship with the Liberty Clan, so it is definitely impossible to hand over the bug to the Liberty Clan. But then again, this also indirectly reflects that the game "Zero" is indeed tailor-made tasks for every player.
For example, this mission, it was not me who took over the task. If the person who took over the task did this task himself, the task process should actually be that the person opened the coffin, and then he had to withstand the attack of the mummy for a period of time. As long as the person who did the task persisted until the time set by the task, the bug would completely wake up and then bite the mummy to death and eat it. After that, the player would have two choices. One was to go up and catch the bug directly, and the other was to wait until the bug chewed the coffin and other bugs in the tomb before catching it. These two choices would affect the subsequent task process and rewards. Of course, there is also the player's strength factor. The bug did not attack me at the beginning because I felt that the strength gap between him and me was too big.
So he dared not attack me. If the player who does the mission has average strength, the bug will attack him as soon as possible after eating the mummy. Of course, if the player is strong enough, the bug will decide when to attack him according to the strength comparison between the two sides during the subsequent growth process. However, no matter when the fight, the player and the bug will definitely fight one game, and the result will be nothing more than three types. First, the player defeats the bug and catches the living bug, and then the Liberty will reclaim the bug and give him a reward. Second, the player defeats but kills the bug. At this time, the Liberty will still reclaim the dead bug, but the reward will definitely be discounted. The last one is that the player is defeated by the bug, so there is no need to think about any reward.
The above process is the normal process for ordinary players to receive tasks, but because of my special identity and special strength, the task has changed.
The Gun God was quite surprised that my mission involved the gods. After all, the ones who received the tasks before were only ordinary players, and the tasks of ordinary players usually did not appear directly by the gods. Although many of the tasks received by players are related to the gods, they usually collect something according to the instructions of the gods, kill a monster or prevent something from happening. In short, although this kind of task is assigned by the gods, the gods will not appear in the task. To be honest, it is very rare for a situation where the gods directly participate in the task in the end.
"This mission not only involves the Liberal Gods, but also has a direct relationship with them." I said in the surprised gaze of the Gun God: "I don't know who released the bug, but the Liberal Gods obviously knew about it. They will collect the bug at the end and give the task reward. But you must have thought that the value of the bug that can be favored by the gods is definitely not comparable to that of the task reward."
After hearing my words, the Gun God nodded first, and then suddenly shouted: "You didn't detain the bug yourself and didn't give it to the goddess of Liberty?"
"I didn't give it, but it wasn't something I detained. I said I didn't give it, but the Statue of Liberty seemed to be eager to get this bug, but in the end he didn't even want to face it. He started to rob it openly if he made it public. You know, I never suffer a loss. The Statue of Liberty robbed it even more, which means that this thing is of great value, so I fought with her."
"You were beaten away in the end?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know why the goddess of Liberty performed very weakly today. Her strength seems to have been greatly damaged just now. When she came today, her strength was only at the level of an ordinary high-level god, and she was not as good as a normal state. And she was particularly unlucky today. I have a magic pet that can use the arrow of fate, do you know?"
"You said that Victoria?"
"Yes. Today she shot an arrow at the Goddess Liberty, and all of the skills of the Goddess Liberty were sealed. You also know that I have the attribute of the Goddess, and the defense of the Goddes' attacks and defenses are doubled, and the divine power suppression of the Goddess is useless to me. The Goddess Liberty itself is a mage-type god. After the skills are sealed, it turns into a waste, making me chase it all over the field. The subordinates he brought are also groups of people, and they are not opponents of my demon pets at all."
Hearing this, the Gun God suddenly covered his mouth in surprise and said, "You won't kill the goddess of Liberty, are you?"
"Do you think I'm that strong? Even if you don't know why my strength has dropped sharply, the goddess of Liberty is at least the leader of a god, so it's impossible for me to save my life?"
"Then what information do you want to tell me?"
"The information is that bug." I said seriously: "In the battle, the Statue of Liberty used a gravitational field that could attract living organisms. As a result, the whole audience was controlled by the traction field except herself. However, although she was not affected by the force field, she was chased by my flying sword and ran away all over the field, so she had no time to deal with us. However, because of the effect of the gravitational field, the insect that had been controlled by me accidentally attracted to the center of the gravitational field. Then my flying sword happened to kill a Liberty clan while chasing the Statue of Liberty. The guy was sucked to the center of the gravitational force before he died, and he was caught by the bug that had been sucked away."
"You mean the bug ate the gods of the Liberty God?"
I nodded with certainty and said, "Yes, I did eat it, and there was no armor or weapons left. The bug is really a person who eats people without spitting bones."
"Wait." The Gun God finally realized what I was going to tell him. "You said before that the bug grew through the ability to devour. Does that mean that he will become after eating the gods...?"
"You guessed it right. He grew up after eating the gods and became very powerful. Later, the Free Gods tried their best to issue magic and physical attacks before they died, but the magic was eaten by him. The one who attacked the gods even worse, and their weapons were eaten directly."
"Can the bug even eat attack magic and weapons?" The Gun God could no longer sit still. He walked directly to the desk and asked in surprise: "Wait, you just said that it was an attack released by the Liberal Gods before they died? Could it be that the bug later ate other gods, and there were more than one?"
I nodded again and said, "That's right, not only did he chew several gods, but according to this progress, I guess there are only a few people left in the group of gods under the Goddess of Liberty."
When the Gun God heard my words, he nervously grabbed my shoulder and asked, "How big is that bug growing now?"
"When I left, the bug was a little thicker than a bucket. It was about a few meters long, and it was not too big. However, his energy level was no less than the energy intensity of a god clan. And during this period, I also found that this guy had a certain amount of wisdom."
The Gun God didn't care much about the guy's intelligence, but asked, "Why don't you stop it? This thing can eat all the gods. When he grows up, he doesn't want to chew all the United States? You don't think you don't have to worry about it if you are not in your own country anyway? When it's done chewing us, it will chew you sooner or later."
"Do you think I don't know?" I pushed away the excited gun and said, "I had long thought that the growth potential of this bug may be infinite, so it is always a disaster to keep him. At that time, I told the Goddess of Liberty that I would first cease to fight against the bugs, but the Goddess of Liberty was too ignorant and actually asked me for benefits."
"So you ran out in anger?"
I nodded and said, "Anyway, I can't fight the bug if the Goddess of Liberty doesn't cancel the gravitational field. It's meaningless to stay. After I leave, the Goddess of Liberty can still concentrate on dealing with the bug."
"Isn't it her to let the Goddess of Liberty deal with the bugs? Would you give the bugs to the Goddess of Liberty so well?"
I laughed again when I heard the words of the Gun God. "Hahahaha, of course I wouldn't give the bug for free. The reason I left was because I knew it was to remove the gravitational field. With the strength of the people who were around the Goddess of Liberty, I couldn't handle the bug at all. Their own strength did not return to normal, and she was not the opponent of the bug, and her current skills were blocked by Victoria. The reason why I left early was just to give the Goddess of Liberty a step, let her remove the gravitational field and take her own people away quickly. In this way, the bug could only eat the bug in the valley without the flesh and blood of the gods. Compared to the evolution of the Goddes, the bug should not grow too fast if you eat bugs, so you have enough time to wipe it out." Speaking of this, I deliberately smiled and approached the Gun God and said, "Of course, if I were you, don't deal with the bug first, let it grow a little longer, so that you can get more retrieval."
When the Gun God heard this, he suddenly exclaimed: "What do you mean is that I will take advantage of the opportunity of the bug coming out to destroy it everywhere to make money?"
"Making money is second, and hitting competitors is first. You are not stupid either? Why are you so short-sighted?"
"Yes, yes." The Gun God told me that he was so short-sighted that he didn't care at all, because he would be excited about the benefits he might get in the future. As for how to deal with the bug in the future, this seems to be no problem. As long as you don't continue to eat the gods to evolve like this, the bug will not grow too scary. With the Gun God's super attack power and long-range attack method, it just happened to be a way to restrain the bug. Besides, the Gun God had already thought about it. At worst, I would just invite me here as a foreign player. After thinking about the interests in it, the Gun God couldn't help laughing. "Hahaha, it's not expensive to buy such a message at all. President Zi Ri's reputation is really good."
"Hehe, are mutual benefits? But you'd better be faster. This message is valuable. If you know in advance that the bug will come out and cause trouble. It will be too late to take action when the bug is discovered by everyone. However, the traffic in the Valley of the Worm is very small, and at the beginning, you probably wouldn't know that the bug will crawl out of the Valley of the Worm. At most, someone will think that a strong boss has appeared here after being attacked. However, once that guy eats all the bugs in the Valley of the Worm and crawls out of the Valley of the Worm, the news will definitely spread. According to my estimate, this process will take about one to two days, which means you have at least twenty-four hours to arrange your plan."
After listening to my analysis, the Gun God immediately said, "Then do you have any other things? If not, I will arrange an action plan now."
I shook my head and said, "I'm fine. Remember to collect the soul I want as soon as possible and send it over. Oh, by the way, I'll remind you. Don't make too big the transfer and deployment of your guild. If others are prepared in advance, you won't get any benefits."
"I understand."
After the Gun God hurriedly sent me away, he began to prepare his plan urgently. As for me, I went back to China directly. I will deal with that bug sooner or later, but it is definitely not now. Compared to dealing with that bug, it is more important to build a faith collector first. As long as this thing can be successfully operated, the power of the gods of our Frost Rose Alliance will grow rapidly. When they grow enough to fight against the Heavenly Court, we no longer have to be restrained by the Heavenly Court. Of course, we still have to continue to maintain a good relationship with the Heavenly Court before this.
After I couldn't wait to rush back to Aisinger, I ran to the 11th Hall of Yama through Huangquan Road, but I was stunned as soon as I passed Naihe Bridge. "This... what's going on?" Pointing to a large construction site in front of me, I pulled the ghost messenger next to me in surprise and asked.
When the ghost officer saw it was me, he hurriedly said, "Report to Lord Hell, this is the order of your newly appointed Lord Hades. Lord Hades said that the underworld needs to be rebuilt, so he pushed down and rebuilt the original underworld."
"I...!" I wanted to say that Hades was not, but when I looked back, it seemed that this was my own problem. I seemed to have only told Hades that I wanted to build a Hall of Hell in their style, but forgot to tell him that it should not be moved. But since it was demolished, it would be demolished. Anyway, it would not make much sense to keep the Hall of Hell. As long as the Heavenly Court does not take this opportunity to cause trouble for me. After thinking about it, I swallowed the words I wanted to say, and then asked, "The Hall of Hell is demolished, where are you working now?"
"Isn't that?" The ghost messenger pointed casually, and I followed his gaze and found that there was a large open space in the sea of flowers on the other side of the Naihe Bridge. It was now filled with various desks and file cabinets, and a large group of ghost messengers worked together with the group of Hell Gods brought by Hades. Unfortunately, the underworld does not rain or there is no sun, so there is no need for the roof to block the sun and rain. Otherwise, Hades and the others would set up a few thatched sheds here, which would be a post-disaster reconstruction site command!
After letting go of the ghost mess next to me, I headed straight to the dilapidated office area. Anyway, there was no house or wall here, so finding people was easier. There was nothing to cover me. I glanced at me and saw where Hades and the others were. But he was not dealing with the ghost problem, but with a few necromancers, he was drawing design sketches on a large blackboard with a chalk.
"Haddes, what are you doing?"
Hearing my voice, Hades quickly turned around, and after seeing me, he smiled and said, "So the president is back. Just so happen, have you found the soul?"
"I found it, but you can't tell me what's going on with the ruins over there?"
"Oh, you said that. That's it. Because Miss Rose has sent someone to deliver the materials, I just want to wait for you to come back to start construction early. Anyway, the initial construction will not require any soul."
I originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but Hades' attitude clearly took every reconstruction work seriously. But I realized it after thinking about it. The Olympian tribe is relatively opposed to the three major forces, so Hades is like the lords of the lords who were enfeoffed in ancient times. They don't need to inform the emperor of their own country if they have anything to tell them. They can make decisions on the matters in the territory themselves. Although Hades knew that the ground was from the Heavenly Court, he was already accustomed to that kind of rules, so he thought that the small fact of rebuilding a house was not needed. Anyway, I have already reported to the Heavenly Court, so he started construction without waiting for my reply. This is not his arrogantness, but his thoughts have not changed yet. However, this is not a problem that will be solved in a short time, so I don't plan to talk about him anymore.
Chapter completed!
