Fatal Shot

Chapter 316: Explore the ruins

Views:

&/script> West of Silver Moon City, coordinates (-1223, 0254)!

An SN600 bulletproof energy off-road vehicle was driving on a road full of yellow sand, constantly passing over player vehicles traveling in the same direction.

"Lao Wu, what's going on? Now you can tell me in detail."

Feng Luo sat in the back of the car, drinking an ice-cold drink from the car refrigerator, and asked Mu Wudao, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and driving.

"Yesterday, while Muzi and his team were doing a mission, they discovered an underground ruins area more than ten miles south of Lu Group City, and triggered an exploration mission at the same time!"

Mu Wu said with a low expression on his face as he drove.

"Exploring the ruins area. This kind of mission can usually reward a lot of merit points. Muzi is lucky." Feng Luo said.

According to the official background setting of the game, the player's goal as an adventurer is to explore past ruins and destroy mutated monsters, so both of these can receive federal merit rewards.

Especially in the ruins area, you can usually get higher-end equipment when you first explore it than later, so an undiscovered ruins area is naturally extremely valuable!

"Because there are a large number of elite monsters over 40 in that ruins area, and the configuration of their team, it is not a lineup suitable for exploration!"

"So, in the end, we only explored a third of the way before we were forced to return!"

"However, when they walked out of the ruins, they were ambushed by another team. Due to insufficient supplies and a sneak attack, the team was wiped out!"

Mu Wu said in a deep voice.

“…”

Feng Luo said nothing.

To be honest, this kind of thing happened every day in "War Chronicles", so he didn't feel too angry. But given Mu Wu's character, there were obviously other reasons for saying this with such an expression.

"In the team that killed them, eight of them were players from the Lu Corporation!"

When Mu Wu said this, his expression under the gold-rimmed glasses became even more gloomy.

"Huh? People from the Lu Group?"

Feng Luo's brows furrowed and his face became slightly gloomy.

"Actually, my refusal to merge the Evernight City Club into the Lu Group Guild was not entirely out of selfish considerations of wanting to seize power."

Mu Wu said calmly while speeding up the energy off-road vehicle.

"Sleepless City is an entertainment center used by the Lu Group to make friends with some of the upper-class people. One-third of the club players are important customers!"

"For these customers, they don't want to be restricted when playing games. Once they join the Lu Group, even as VIPs or senior members, they will feel uncomfortable!"

"good!"

Feng Luo nodded. Diamond VIP customers like Sister Rui and Mr. Qian obviously didn't care whether the guild they joined was strong or not.

For them, playing games is just about playing. Joining a guild with a playful nature like the Evernight City Club gives them more freedom and unfettered control!

"But those at the head office don't think so, especially those new players who now account for more than half, and I don't know who has instilled some hostile ideas!"

Mu Wu said calmly.

"New player?"

"The total number of players in Lu's Group City now exceeds 50,000. Most of them are new foreign players who have joined in the past half month, and the number is increasing by more than a thousand every day. In addition, there are now more than 5,000 NPCs in the city. !" Mu Wu said.

"This half month?... Is it because of the war plot?" Feng Luo said with certainty.

"Well, because the war plot has started, and our city is built near the border between the rebels and the Federation, and it occupies a very good geographical location, so many players have set their respawn points here. Of course, most of them have joined In the Lu Group!"

"This shows that your judgment is right. At least, the original idea of choosing this place to build a city for the war plot seems to be very successful now!"

Feng Luo still remembered the sparkle in Mu Wu's eyes when he talked about choosing a site for building the city.

"If everything goes as expected, then there's really no need to worry. However, Lu Chen and the group's board of directors are too ambitious!"

Under Mu Wu's glasses, there was a hint of obvious disdain.

"I suggested from the beginning that this city should be built like a semi-military base and not allow too many NPCs to settle in."

"In that case, although less than a quarter of the city's construction could be completed in the past two months, it would still have a strong ability to cope with war scenarios!"

"In addition, with the two semi-military cities of Silver Moon City and Sunset City blocking the two sides, we are not afraid that it will become the rebels' primary attack target."

"When the time comes, we can completely develop step by step by taking advantage of the fact that players can be resurrected!"

Regarding his own judgment, Mu Wu's familiar look of confidence appeared in Feng Luo's eyes again.

"It's just that Lu Chen himself is too ambitious, and many of the people on the board of directors are even more short-sighted!"

"When less than one-third of the money was invested, I couldn't help but worry about losing money. I just kept accepting NPCs and developed a large number of shops, causing the entire city to be spread too quickly!"

"It's okay now. There are already many NPC garrisons in Silver Moon City and Sunset City, and many defense facilities have been built on this day. Instead, our originally inconspicuous player city!"

"I heard that they didn't fully agree with your judgment on the development of the game at the beginning, so they made that decision..."

Feng Luo said calmly with his eyes.

For him, he doesn't really care whether Lu's Group City is really dangerous now or whether the money invested will be wasted.

After all, he is just a temporary deputy manager of the entertainment city, and he is still standing on the side of the Evernight City Club.

However, he completely agreed with Mu Wu's assessment of the war situation.

Not long ago, he had called two NPC clerks at the "Wind Scar Ammunition Store" through the communicator to airlift all the items and equipment in the store to Stormwind City.

In the game "War Chronicles", once the plot is triggered, there is no setting that the player's property is "sacred and inviolable", and the game company will not compensate you for your losses!

Therefore, you have to rely on your own "smell"!

"Well, let's talk about Muzi and the others. How will the matter be handled next?"

Feng Luo changed the topic back to what happened yesterday.

"That group of people then went in to explore, but they didn't get very far before they were kicked out in embarrassment. Later, Muzi told me about this, and I raised it at the board meeting this morning!"

"But the board of directors had no intention of punishing them, and when those people were called to confront them, they even sneered and said that they discovered the ruins first. And because they couldn't take pictures in the ruins at the time, Muzi and the others had no evidence to prove it!"

"What's Lu Chen's attitude?"

Feng Luo asked.

"Because before the ruins are fully explored, you must accept a mission before you can enter, and the daily mission limit is only two teams!"

"So, Lu Chen decided to let us and them each send a team in today, and then let this matter be over!"

"Lu Chen's handling is not too biased. However, he may not know the truth of the matter, so doing so would be interesting!"

Feng Luo said.

"Let him do whatever he wants! Anyway, Lao Feng, this time, I can only rely on you!"

Mu Wu's eyes did not fluctuate much.

"Um."

Feng Luo didn't really want to know why Mu Wu, as the manager of an entertainment city affiliated to the Lu Group, was always in tit-for-tat with the sole heir of the group.

All he knew was that he was indeed somewhat interested in exploring the ruins.

At the same time, I don't mind killing the group of people at the Lu Group headquarters if they meet!
