Five hours have passed since the mysterious player took over the mission in the mercenary guild. Players from the entire game continent are gathering towards the capital of heroes. In this largest main city, the streets and alleys have been filled with people. , This is a scene that can only be seen during the festival.
The players were undoubtedly attracted by the task of killing Aotian, wanting to see who has the guts to challenge the leader of the first guild. Because the guild base of the Heroes' Association is near the City of Heroes, if someone really wants to break into the iron wall of LV4 to take the head of Aotian, they will definitely gather troops in this city first, form a legion, and then launch an attack .
The goodies are waiting to see the action, so they're all in town, trying to get some updates. But soon, the players discovered a problem. There were too many people in the city, and there were bustling crowds everywhere. Even if there were legions gathering, it would be the same as pouring a glass of water into a swimming pool. It would not be visible at all. Unless those guys all display the status of the legion above their heads, only they themselves will know who are team members.
Of course, it’s not completely impossible. If you PK a member of a certain legion, it only takes a second for you to see the blood bars of all members of that legion, the crimson ones. But it is impossible for someone to do this, because the consequence of beating people in the city is... an NPC guard closest to you will use a skill called teleportation, rush to you in 0.5 seconds, and attack you Unleash a series of brutal and inhumane attacks, endlessly.
Regarding the fighting ability of these guards, it is roughly like this: These guys sometimes go out of the city to fight some monsters due to the arrangement of plot tasks. They are very useless at that time. A state with a similar level is not even as strong as a monster of the same level. But in the city, the level of these guards will become unknown, and a blessing called "Hero's Shelter" will be blessed on their bodies. The official explanation for this blessing is just one line: the spirit of the ancient hero is watching you, You feel power all over your body.
Tested by some ball pain players who are determined to die, this so-called "strength" is not to the extent of taking two Dali pills, let alone using some numerical data to explain it clearly. Definitely a highlight for game designers when programming, because the effects are, by nature, completely random. Just like the mutant genes in the X-Men, each guard will have different abilities and effects reflected under this blessing, and all of them are very terrifying.
For example, the attack speed is increased by a hundred times. Yes, this is one of the effects tested by the players at the current stage. It is said to be a hundred times, but it is only an estimate. How many times... I really don't know, the speed of the guard cutting people is like his With eight arms, the guy who was cut off did not lose blood piece by piece, his blood flowed out at a uniform speed... He could see the phantoms of NPC guard arms and long swords all over his eyes, and then he was so inexplicable hung up. This blessing seems to have a weakness. The attack power of the guard has become extremely low. It seems to be maliciously trying to reflect the amazing value of the attack speed, so reducing the attack power means cutting you a few times...
Let's talk about another effect, which is affectionately called "Infinite Flying Slam" by the players. The guard doesn't cut you with a sword, but uses a long-range collision with a seemingly infinite distance to charge towards you, and then uses his shoulder to fly you To the sky, it's very much like a skill that a guy in a red hat in a fighting game uses. Then, the moment before you hit the ground, the guard will rush over and fly you up again, one time... one time... again... until the top dies.
There are many examples. We can see the karate skills of the invincible dragon Sakazaki Ryoshi on the guards: one hit kills; the diamond stardust boxing that reduces the player's movement and attack speed to zero; even Sakuragi Flower Road The classmate's iron head hit his forehead, causing huge damage and a minute of dizziness and stiffness. "Hero's Asylum" is simply a spoof. Those who dared to hurt people in the city were tortured and destroyed before they were killed, but they had no power to fight back.
This is not over yet. After beating someone in the city and being killed, a piece of equipment will explode 100% of the time, and no matter what color the name was originally, it will immediately turn crimson. The moment after resurrection, the fatigue level will be reduced to zero by the system , the next second will naturally be forcibly kicked off the assembly line.
Therefore, if you have the determination to delete your account, or if you are really in pain, be prepared to not play the game for a week or two and wait for the color of your name to fade, then you can do it, and God knows what kind of blessing you will be playing. die…
Maybe someone will ask, wouldn't it be over if Aotian just ran to the city? Who can kill him in seconds? Otherwise, as soon as you grit your teeth and stomp your feet, won't it be over when you go offline? Come on after the time limit. Indeed, these are good ways, but they really can't save face.
Even if the hero is really captured today and Aotian is killed, it can't be worse than retreating without fighting. This is a very simple truth. If you want to be a big brother, you have to have a kind of awareness, that is... the awareness of being caught by a group of onlookers and roasted on the fire without changing your face...
Would Ximen Chuuxue hide in the imperial city, or hide himself in the city to avoid the duel with Ye Gucheng? Could it be that he waited until he reached the city wall and said, "Brother Ye, I suddenly have a stomachache. Although I really want to fight you, I'm afraid it's hard to accompany you today"? Only when Satan meets Cellu will he do this! What will Ximen Chuuxue do? If he did this, it wasn't Ximen Chuuxue, but Wang Xu pretending to be it.
What kind of person is Aotian? The biggest winner of the whole farce, the Hero Club's No. 1 position in the game will be even more unshakable. His own dream of being the first brother may really come true.
Therefore, at this moment, inside the guild base of the Heroes' Association, they have assembled all the combat forces they can muster, and are ready to fight. Many members came from all over one after another, and everyone looked extremely nervous. This was no longer a matter of the life and death of the president, Aotian, but a major event related to the future status of the entire guild in the game. In any case, there must be no mistakes in this battle.
…
In the conference hall, the president Aotian, the vice president Ren Zhan, and twenty players from the guild's decision-making level gathered together, staring at the large information board prepared by the LV4 guild base, and always paying attention to the latest official news. At the same time, they anxiously waited for some useful information from the spies sent to the city.
"It seems that it is very difficult to find out more conclusive news." One of them said: "The city of heroes is now in a mess, ordinary players, commercial players, professional players, and some other guild forces are all going there Come on, anyone is suspected of taking that mission, and anyone we think is suspicious has also appeared in the city."
Aotian frowned, looking at the big screen: "The person who gave the task is really good at calculating... This must be part of his plan!"
Ren Zhan said from the side: "Aotian, you have been saying that there is a major conspiracy in this matter, but in my opinion, the person who gave the task was at most as you guessed, in order to cheat 3.6 million into breaching the contract." It's just Jin's guy... what we should pay attention to is the person who takes the mission, right?"
Aotian shook his head: "Now that I think about it, he used the mercenary guild to release this task in a high-profile manner, and there is a lot of mystery in it." He looked away from the big screen, looked at the person and said: "My previous speculation...consider No, I shouldn't treat a player who can spend 20 million yuan as a small character who uses the mercenary guild to cheat liquidated damages.
In this game, players with tens of millions of financial resources can be roughly divided into three types: rich people who are purely for fun and purely commercial players; extremely high-end professional players; and those like us who mainly develop guilds player.
These three types of people, let’s talk about the first type first, these people basically don’t leave the main city half a step, I have no contact with them at all; the second type of people is the least likely to spend money to buy my head, they do things for others It’s more than asking others to do things, playing games is to make a living, and keeping neutral is the consistent style of people like them; so in the end only the third type of people is left..."
More than 20 people looked at Aotian seriously and listened to his analysis. The president of the Heroes Association is still very capable. He really thinks a lot... very far...
"Then, just like me, players who base their careers on the development of guilds in the game are the only remaining possibility." Aotian looked at the surprised expressions of everyone, and continued: "You must be very strange, according to my It is said that the person who wants to buy my head and the person who has the ability to take over the task to take my head are actually the same kind of people." He paused and said: "Yes, this is the conclusion, from the beginning to the end, there was only one group man!
Is it really that hard to kill me? How many people will I bring with me when I am leveling in the wild? Form an army twice as many as ours, and worry about not being able to kill me? Besides, what if you kill me once? Explode a piece of equipment? Lose 10% experience? How much damage can this cause
People who have a grudge against me and want to vent their anger by killing me, if they are willing to spend 20 million, let alone one time, with the method I just said, the cost of 20 million can kill me ten times!
The goal that can be easily achieved by keeping a low profile, but he chose a method that will inevitably lose money and has a high probability of failure, and put a mission in the mercenary guild!
This can only show one point, it doesn't matter whether you kill me or not, the real intention of the commissioner to release this mission is to let everyone in the game know that the person who accepts the mission, or in other words, the force that accepts the mission, Has the ability to kill anyone in the game within 24 hours! "
There was chilling silence in the meeting hall, and Aotian's reasoning was indeed reasonable and well-conceived.
"Of course, that's after killing me. To achieve the goal, the premise must be that that force can really defeat our hero association, break through this LV4 base, and take off my head." Aotian continued: " Hmph... It's not my arrogance, there is no guild that can do this! 'Supreme', 'Red Moon', 'Battle Field', 'Shen Saber League', all of them can't do it!" Even so, his expression was It's not easy, "What I'm worried about now is that some of these guilds will unite... This makes them feel that they are fully confident and that the time is ripe... That's why they announced it in the mercenary guild. That mission. If that's the case, I'm afraid this conspiracy has been prepared for quite a long time, and it is very disadvantageous for us to rush to the battle..."
The atmosphere became more serious, his speculation was indeed reliable, and everyone present was convinced that in less than 20 hours, if the hero would be defeated and Aotian would be killed, then... the person hidden in the dark That opponent will be completely victorious, and the impact on the Heroes Club will not be limited to those seen on the surface. In the future, members of the Heroes Club will be stabbed in the back when they walk on the road. What about the first guild? The president will kill you if you ask someone to kill you. Anyone with money can kill you at any time. At that time, membership will be lost, strength will gradually decline, and a vicious circle will be inevitable. Even if it is not disbanded, it will be difficult to make a comeback one day.
At this moment of silence, Ren Zhan suddenly widened his eyes, stared at the information board, and stretched out his fingers tremblingly: "Quick... look... this..."
The other people showed the same expression as Ren Zhan in an instant. They could no longer describe it as "the eyeballs are about to pop out", they just wanted to throw their eyeballs on the ground.
Aotian swallowed his saliva, turned around slowly, and saw a very eye-catching message rising slowly from the board—the mercenary guild in the city of heroes, the existing player "The Ripper" issued a mission: Please Red Moon The guild leader "Qing'er" came to the city to have a talk, the task bonus: 30 million. For more mission information, please go to the mercenary guild to view the details.
…
Not long after the news was sent out, Master Cat was already sitting in a high-altitude single room on the 105th floor of the most expensive sea-view restaurant in the city, sipping red wine, overlooking the crowds below the city of heroes, and He chanted in a compassionate tone: "Hey... lamenting that the six armies are all naked, rushing to the crown-anger is a beauty..."
