My Players Keep Grinding in the Post-Apocalyptic World

Chapter 174: The Inquisitor Who Cannot Be Exposed and... A New Occupation? (Long Chapter)

Views:

Agent Feng rode on Aikun on the road to Colossus City.

I don’t know if this mount has been ridden a lot, but it is very human-like and has a closer connection with Agent Feng. It can perform different actions to evade obstacles on different terrains.

Now it is a flat dirt road, and Agent Feng is studying the skill seal in his hand.

Skill Stamp: Hagrid's Ice Rune

The Inquisitor's basic ice rune contains enormous power, but because it can only be placed under the user's feet, it is often used in advance to block the enemy's retreat.

Hagrid's Ice Rune takes 3 seconds to be fully effective after being placed.

Required Inquisitor Professional Expertise Points: 5

This is the only skill Aunt Hai taught him.

"There's a huge difference between this and the Ice Dragon she used. How come the damage is so low???"

“It shouldn’t be like this.”

"Did the old woman frame me? Did she intentionally give me a weakened version of a skill?"

Agent Feng had no way of reading the power of Aunt Hai's five ice dragons from this skill.

"Also, as a rune, this skill is not as good as the Storm Box of the Thunder Rune, right? It's very uncomfortable that it can't take effect immediately, and it can only be used under your feet, which limits the gameplay of the ice grenade. It can only be used as a ground trap, and its flexibility is very poor..."

If these problems could be solved by replacing a damage explosion, the basic damage is only 1 times greater than that of the Storm Box of the same level.

"Also... nearly half of the damage is piercing... which is not affected by the intelligence attribute. For an Inquisitor with normal intelligence points... piercing damage is not actually a high-quality attribute. It is all energy damage."

"The only advantage may be that it can erupt over a 20-meter range..."

"But there are only five random directions. If the enemy is standing at another angle, we can't even hit him."

"That's not right... At least the first enemy who steps on it will definitely be hit... Wait!"

"The first person who steps on this ice rune and stands in the middle will be damaged by five ice torrents!"

“Hiss~~~”

Agent Feng figured it out immediately!

According to the description, the five torrents fired by a level 1 ice rune each have a basic damage of 50 points, so the person who steps on the ice rune will suffer five levels of damage at the same time!

250!

"Hiss~ It can cause 250 damage and a huge range AOE at level 1, what a magical skill!"

"This is a fucking ice mine!"

Agent Feng had reserved one skill point before setting off in order to learn a new skill.

I didn't hesitate any more and started learning the skill of seal carving.

At this moment, he seemed to have practiced ice runes with Aunt Xue for two and a half years until he had mastered this skill.

With the +1 attribute blessing of all skills of the epic equipment Blue Bird Wings, the skill blessing reaches level 2.

Another 2 and a half years of experience.

After upgrading to level 2, the other attributes of this skill remain unchanged, but the basic damage is greatly increased!

36 piercing + 43 cold damage, total damage reaches 89!

Speaking of which, this piece of equipment is of great help to Agent Feng. Even though he has increased his intelligence attribute, his health is still not low.

Bird Wings (Set)

Quality: Epic

HP+360

Energy +130

16% of the attack damage dissipates the enemy's energy

Night vision clarity +30%

All skills +1

Set name: Bird's clothing

Remaining set accessories: Blue Bird's Cloak, Blue Bird's Scythe, Blue Bird's Light.

"I don't know when I can meet a gray bird again. Now that I can understand the language of this world, I really want to have a night talk with this wise bird!"

As he spoke, he touched his backpack of explosive ammunition.

"yu~~~"

Agent Feng gets off Kun.

Place the next Ice Rune next to a pool of water.

"Huh~ 40 energy consumption, that's high."

This is all he could do with his fully-trained explosive ammunition.

"But... Aunt Hai told me not to expose my Inquisitor skills in Colossus City, otherwise I would be hunted down by the Crusaders. It seems that this mission... must be accomplished by wits."

After waiting for a while, an unlucky mutant monkey came to the pool.

Agent Feng has seen many of these monkeys on the road. Because their skulls are exceptionally hard, their skin is thick, and their eyebrows are like those of a crocodile, they are also called crocodile-browed monkeys.

Relying on its iron skin and bones, it acts extremely domineeringly, often attacking passing humans and snatching food from their hands.

Although the alligator monkey looked around vigilantly, it did not find the inconspicuous symbols on the ground. When it approached the pool cautiously and was about to drink water...

Wow!

The ice rune was activated, and five icy torrents emerged from under the monkey's feet, covering five paths that were 20 meters long and wide for one person.

The alligator-browed monkey immediately became an ice monkey.

Looking at the five damage lines that appeared on the monkey’s head after the ice rune was triggered, Agent Feng clenched his fists tightly!

"yeah!"

“It is indeed so!”

"Trigger 5 damage stages to the primary target, and randomly strike enemies in the surrounding area."

"It looks like an AOE skill, but it's actually a combination of a super high single-target burst skill!"

"The Inquisitor is just as Aunt Hai said, his skills are very powerful... and the special effects are too gorgeous! This profession is definitely the planner's favorite son!"

He increasingly felt that filling the Inquisitor profession was the right choice.

"From what the NPC Aunt Hai revealed, the Inquisitor profession has a very long quest line... Even if it's not the main storyline of the game, it's an important side quest. If I can complete this quest, I might get a very high reward."

Agent Feng was keenly aware that this was an exclusive world plot, and once he had done it once, no one else would be able to do it again!

"Ah~ I never thought that the charm of an open world could be experienced in an online game..."

"But... does this really have no impact on balance? Luck plays a big role."

However, he immediately thought of certain card games. The champion is different every year, and when the technical level is similar, the winner depends on who has better luck and who has a better dealer.

"In fact, a little more luck is not a bad thing. It greatly enhances the entertainment value of the game."

As he was thinking all the way, Agent Feng rode Brown-faced Aikun to the outside of Colossus City, found a cargo transfer station outside the city to store Aikun there, and then walked into the city.

"Hello, I want to enter the Colossus City. I think you accidentally dropped this 30 yuan outside."

"Haha~ That's pretty good."

Agent Feng was very sensible and gave the money again.

In fact, he had a pass that allowed him to enter and exit, but the soldier who checked him this time was not the same as last time. He didn't want to cause trouble and just paid the money to enter.

As for where the money came from... Agent Feng has been out looking for the Inquisitor these days, and he encountered some people and things. Needless to say, he had some extra money on him anyway.

Most of them were given to the yellow-haired guys in Red Stone Bay, but they were eventually destroyed by Aunt Hai's ice dragon.

Now he only has 230 yuan left, which is the money he has left for himself to stay in the hotel.

"I hope I can find the target before the money runs out... Let's go to these three places in order from near to far to find this judge."

But think about it.

wrong!

"According to the nature of the game planner, he would always deliberately let the player go to two useless places, and then place a quest NPC at the last location. He thought I would start from the door and look inside... I stood directly on the third floor and started from the farthest point and looked back!"

"Hahaha! I'm such a smart bastard! The planner can't beat me at all!"

Agent Feng's inner drama was very complicated, but soon... he discovered something was wrong.

Although the soldier who got his money did not make things difficult for him, he seemed to be winking at others, and other soldiers also looked at him.

He frowned and asked, "What? You're not letting me go even though I paid you?"

"Wait a minute! I have something to verify with you..."

When Agent Feng heard this, he reacted immediately!

The last sneak attack on that soldier hasn’t come to an end yet.

He slowly took two steps back and was about to turn around and run when two guns were pointed at his head from behind.

"Don't move if you don't want your head to explode!"

"Alas... bad luck."

Agent Feng sighed.

At this distance, even if he activated Wind Walker, it would be difficult for him to fight back, and the soldiers around him had already raised their guns and aimed at him. Even if he avoided the headshots from the two people behind him, it would be difficult for him to escape from the hail of gunfire.

If you fire rashly, you will risk your life!

All equipment and consumables were dropped.

He would also expose the fact that he is the descendant of the Inquisitor and serve as a reminder to the Christians. When martial law is imposed inside, Lao Lei might even be killed by him.

This mission is definitely not for players to complete in the form of combat. It is more like an intelligence level. It doesn't matter if he doesn't pass it this time, as long as he doesn't get exposed... He can come back after being resurrected. Besides... surrendering does not necessarily mean death.

Many games have the concept of plot-killing. It seems like a dead end, but after entering the dungeon, the game starts to fight back... ..

In a short time, Agent Feng understood the pros and cons, and then raised his hands:

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

The soldiers tied him up and confiscated his weapons and ammunition.

"Haha~ You brought quite a lot of stuff, 2 pistols, 1 rifle, and so many bullets... What are these red and blue bottles?"

Agent Feng rolled his eyes: "Poison."

"I saw it too... the colors are so bright."

Several soldiers caught him and brought him to the patrol captain Jing Zuojun.

Jing Zuojun looked at his face and asked the soldiers around him: "Is it him?"

As soon as Agent Feng saw the soldier, he knew what the problem was.

His in-game memory was excellent, and this man was the one who checked on his soldiers when he had grabbed his horse and left the Colossus that morning.

"That's right! Captain! It's him!"

Jing Zuojun: "Very good... Let me ask you, where is Zhang Bao?"

Agent Feng hesitated for a moment.

To say or not to say

Everyone knows that Zhang Bao was captured by the lord and transformed into a necromancer to provide energy for the base, and... Recently, Zhang Bao has been very close to the lord and seems to have surrendered to him.

And he couldn't expose the Scourge base, otherwise the lord would put this troublemaker into eternal sleep!

But if I don’t say anything... I might not be able to get through this, and it would not be good to collapse in anger.

Finally, Agent Feng decided to... tell half of it.

"He has joined our forces."

Jing Zuojun stood up immediately: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Zhang Bao is my most loyal subordinate! He would rather die than be captured by you!"

Agent Feng shrugged. "Can we still trust humanity in the wasteland? It just depends on who offers the highest price. Not only him, but also his cousin Ma Jincheng and his confidant Zhuang Jingming have joined us."

Jing Zuojun's face was frosty. These interpersonal relationships... Even those who had a good relationship with Zhang Bao didn't know about them. Only he knew them clearly.

If he could really tell it... it would prove that Zhang Bao had indeed betrayed.

"What conditions did you offer him?"

"To become extraordinary..."

"hiss-"

Jing Zuojun did not move, and a group of his men gasped. This was a huge temptation.

Even though their patrol team often talks about... what's the good of extraordinary people? They will die with one shot in the head. If they really fight him, they can defeat the Christian Church in minutes.

But... there is mostly self-consolation in this. If given the chance, who wouldn't want to become a supernatural being with mysterious powers

Extraordinary people can also masturbate!

In this world, more strength means more chances to save your life.

Jing Zuojun frowned and pondered for a moment, then he remembered... Zhang Bao had indeed submitted his resume for the Crusader Superhuman Test several times, but he had secretly blocked them all... He couldn't bear to let such an obedient and capable deputy leave.

As for himself, he had long been judged to be an energy insulator and would never be able to become a transcendent person in his entire life.

"Haha~ Who are you? Which faction do you belong to? Tell us everything you know!"

Seeing that Jing Zuojun was trying to change the subject, Agent Feng didn't say much and continued, "We are a force you can't afford to offend. I suggest you let me go and pretend nothing happened. Our lord didn't pursue the matter of you sending people to harass us. You should be grateful for our lord's kindness now."

Bang!

Jing Zuojun shot Agent Feng in the left leg.

You take piercing damage, hp-103

Agent Feng chuckled.

"Killing me would be like declaring war on us. We even dared to take things from Shelter 303. How do you think you are better than them?"

Bang!

You take piercing damage, hp -94

The right leg was also shot through.

Agent Feng couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. He moved to the side, sat on the ground and laughed.

After Jing Zuojun fired two shots to vent his anger, he asked again: "I know even if you don't tell me... the new force rising in the Four Mountains, right? Maybe you think you have a trump card, but I tell you, your trump card is more like a trump card than the Colossus City Patrol's trump card, you... are just a small fry!"

"Tell me everything about your power, and I might consider sparing your life. Tell me, who is your lord? What does he want to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minister Li's car arrived.

Jing Zuojun immediately smiled grimly and said, "He is the backer of Ding Tie, whom you killed. You are in trouble... If you tell me everything you know, I will find a way to make him spare your life."

Agent Feng shifted his position again: "It doesn't matter, my teammates will take action."

Minister Li, dressed in a well-dressed suit, came over and asked, "Where are the extraordinary people from the Cross Church?"

"Dead."

"All dead?"

"Uh... yes."

It was also difficult for Agent Feng to tell whether the undead was dead or alive.

Minister Li waved his hand and got into the car: "Lock him up. The Christian priests will interrogate him tonight. Bandage him up... Don't let him die."

It seemed that he came only to inquire whether those people were dead or not.

Maybe... it would be better for him if he died than if he was missing.

Agent Feng nodded slightly and remembered this key point.

"This Minister Li... there is something wrong. The extraordinary people he sent out must know some of his secrets. If he dies and returns to the base, go ask him."

Next, after Jing Zuojun used threats and inducements, Agent Feng did not reveal any more information.

Half-hiding... can prevent the other party from seeing through.

The other party seemed to be afraid of the Christian priests and did not torture him any further. He had his men put him in a dungeon.

Agent Feng breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the ice runes carved on the ground, and left.

He had been planning to take a few people with him before he died, but he didn't launch the attack because there was still time. After all, the level 2 ice rune would cause heavy damage to the people who were stepped on, and the others affected by the aoe... the damage was not high. With so many soldiers on the scene, they might be beaten into sieves as soon as they launched the attack.

"Let's take it step by step..."

Agent Feng squatted in the patrol team's cell and began to count the items on his body. He only had one set of equipment and a trump card. All the blood and blue medicines were taken away.

The other party took away his weapons, but did not take off all his clothes.

"Fortunately, this set of attribute equipment is still there, and it can withstand a lot of damage in the fight."

The two shots just now only caused 200 damage to him, and that was because the armor on his pants was pretty good. It blocked dozens of points of damage the moment the bullets came into contact with him before penetrating into his thigh.

Looks bloody, but... not fatal.

He could even stand up and walk. He was just showing weakness and taking the opportunity to change the place to carve the ice rune.

Only one ice rune can be engraved at the same location and they cannot be stacked.

"Take out the bullet first..."

He looked around and saw no one was paying attention to him. A wisp of flame floated out from the tip of his little finger, which turned into a branding iron and pierced into his wound, knocking the bullet out of his flesh.

Do the same with the other leg.

He figured out how to use this energy on his own, which was a small step to simulate carving a fire rune on a bullet, and stimulate the energy to form a small flame in his hand.

It's not very useful in actual combat, but it's quite convenient for lighting a fire in the wild.

There was a burnt smell in the air, but Agent Feng didn't even frown, remaining calm and composed.

Is it that Agent Feng has a strong will or is it that his physique is just too good

Neither!

He just turned off the pain...

"Now it can automatically repair the injury."

The ring I'm wearing has a bonus to my health recovery rate, so this kind of injury can be completely healed in just a few minutes.

"What a good man! So brave!"

An admiring voice came from the cell next to him. Agent Feng looked closely and saw a burly man with disheveled hair, his body covered with whip marks, burns, gunshot wounds, bruises... ... but he was still full of energy and looked like a martial artist.

"Who are you... ?"

"Just a martial artist with no background."

"Oh? So long-winded! What is martial arts cultivation?"

It was the first time that Agent Feng heard this term, and he immediately became interested.

Who knew that the big man's face was filled with shame and anger when he heard this!

"Damn it! The extraordinary people have despised martial arts practitioners for a long time. For so many years, they have been regarded as the lowest existence. Now you actually... don't even recognize martial arts practitioners. This is too... too insulting!"

"I am so angry! When will Wu Xiu be able to stand up?"

Agent Feng immediately said, "Don't get me wrong, big brother. I really don't know. I've just stepped into the supernatural world... Why don't you introduce me to someone new? By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."

"Tuoba Liang! Forget it. Ignorance is not a crime. Martial artists face many difficulties and their combat power is not as strong as energy practitioners of the same level. There is nothing we can do. Extraordinary people like you who play with fire... can at least be cooks when you are weak, cooking in the wild to keep warm. We can only... be laborers and cannon fodder. If we are less than the first level, we are just stronger ordinary people..."

Agent Feng asked, "But martial artists should also have some magical powers that other professions don't have, right?"

He used his treasure-hunting robot to see that the big man carried energy. Unlike other extraordinary people, where the energy was stored in his dantian, this martial artist's energy was scattered throughout his body, engraved in his flesh like stars.

And although his level is less than the first level, it is not too far away.

Tuoba Liang said with a strange expression: "We can't say we are supernatural, but we are definitely better than ordinary people. After all, we martial artists are the best soldiers on the front line of the extraordinary battlefield."

Agent Feng: "I see. Martial arts practitioners are soldiers, and other energy practitioners are officers."

Tuoba Liang's face darkened: "I advise you not to bring up such things! I admire you..."

"Ahem, okay, go on."

Tuoba Liang: "Alas... There are very few extraordinary people who are willing to listen to martial arts stories now. The era of energy cultivation has been respected for too many years, and martial arts have been despised for so many years. But I dare not say anything else, we martial arts are definitely the profession with the strongest survivability among the extraordinary people!"

Agent Feng immediately captured the key information!

"Oh? How do you mean?"

Next, Tuoba Liang told him some knowledge about martial arts, which was about cultivating physical strength to improve one's physique and blood, to be more resistant to blows and to recover more easily, as well as some long-range and close combat skills that were passed down.

Agent Feng nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He could now basically confirm... This was a new profession!

The Tuoba Liang in front of him definitely has skills that can be recorded!

“The feeling of brushing up on skills... is 10 times more satisfying than brushing up on monsters! Please call me a new career pioneer!”

"But the biggest problem right now is... getting my blank skill seal back, and then finding a way to make him willingly demonstrate martial arts skills to me, so... how do I escape?"

Agent Feng was clinging to the door, thinking of a way to escape.

"Until the critical moment, the Inquisitor's skills cannot be exposed, otherwise Lao Lei will be in danger. It will be a huge loss if this mission is not completed."

"What other advantages can I take advantage of now... Could it be that I am going to use this?"

In fact, when the soldiers of Colossus City searched Agent Feng, they did not take away the purple stone hanging around his neck.

It is called: Soul Stone of Vengeance - Blue Bird.

The soul stone imprisons the souls of your enemies, and you can force them to fight for you for half an hour.

"If it doesn't work, use it up, rescue Tuoba Liang and bring him back to the Huozhen base. Don't use the skill seal for the ice rune. Go find Aunt Hai to copy one another day."

"Of course, it would be even better if there were other plots in Colossus City that could help push the story forward so I could save this disposable item."

This is the only trump card he has.

"The most important thing is not to reveal that the Inquisitor has arrived in Colossus City... Otherwise, the Inquisitor series of quests will be difficult."

...

"Buy crystals! Buy food! Buy ammunition! Buy clothes! Buy plastic!"

Shadow guard Cheng Dafu entered the Colossus City. His mission this time was to purchase supplies for the base to survive the winter.

This all requires a lot of money.

In addition to asking the dealer for a commission, he also has to find ways to make some money on his own.

And he had already thought of the props for making money!

Full level explosive ammunition!

"Shadow Guard has done a lot along the way. This thing is very powerful, and it must sell well!"

"I can sell a 3-dollar ordinary bullet for 100 yuan after enchanting it! 33 times the profit!"

"I'm a real business genius!"

Sometimes Cheng Shaofeng even admired himself. How could he come up with such a good idea to make money
