Cheng Shaofeng created another clone for Shadow Guard 2.
This time it's not a casual pinch.
With the help of Wu Ke, he sculpted a middle-aged man with a square face and a dignified look.
The kind that makes people trust it at first sight.
Wu Ke: "A good face shape can help you establish the first sense of trust, but it is usually used more in male aesthetics, so people don't pay attention to it."
Cheng Shaofeng nodded.
“Indeed, I feel I am very credible.”
Now that the identity and strategy are clear, the next step is to open a store.
He felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe when he thought about his large shop of more than 1,000 square meters being closed down by Christianity.
But there is no way, that store will definitely not be opened.
Going by yourself is like walking into a trap.
"Looks like I have to go to the Chamber of Commerce again..."
After changing his face, Cheng Shaofeng prepared to go to the Chamber of Commerce to sell some things.
This time we will not be selling rings and necklaces, but other base specialties.
It had just been transported from the front battlefield.
In order to thank them for helping to defend the soldier front, Hong Changsheng specially arranged a special soldier transport plane line for them, which delivered a large amount of goods to the central city.
Currently unloading.
Before, I had to rely on my own backpack to carry things, which was not enough. This time, with the transport plane... I can transport things as much as I want.
Especially since the front line had just decomposed hundreds of thousands of zombie corpses.
All kinds of spoils have been liquidated!
Cheng Shaofeng urgently transferred the player 'Uncle Tian next door' to be in charge of the infrastructure there.
"Speaking of infrastructure... The skill of the Central City's Nezha Gang is really useful. It is probably also a universal skill. With this thing... players can build like playing Minecraft."
As long as there are materials, they can use their skill Shaping to use energy to transform into different shapes.
This is a technique that does not change the nature of the material, only the shape.
Very practical in the field of construction.
"I guess I just committed suicide and Lao Liu betrayed me... Now I'm scared to death. I want him to have a skill... Is that too much?"
Currently, the only player who has not been exposed in the central city who can be used is the player who plays the succubus, 'Yu Mu' who plays the Arcane Heritage.
"Yumu is doing great things over there... Although I don't understand the XP of the succubus,... he still needs to go to do the work."
Sent a message to 'Only the Devil Can Be Destroyed'.
Shadow Guard Lord 2: "Go find Lao Liu, the foreman of the Nie Nie Gang, and get his Shaping Technique back... You can get it by scaring him."
Wei: "Understood! I'll go after I finish training this new succubus."
Shadow Guard Lord 2: “?”
Only: "I'll go now!"
Cheng Shaofeng snorted, this is the lord's pressure!
"This time, let's rent a small store, an inconspicuous one... to avoid being targeted by the Christians again."
"I estimate that the starting capital will be around 50,000 crystal stones..."
"Sprinkle some water~"
"Let me see what you can sell."
The supplies transported from the front battlefield will be the main cargo of Cheng Shaofeng’s shop in the future.
The loot dropped by zombies can be divided into several categories.
1. Living crystal. There is nothing much to say about this kind of crystal. Cheng Shaofeng will transport it to the Red City headquarters after it is decomposed. By then, the main body will be ready to reach level 40.
2. Life potion. There were a lot of these dropped, and they are also a necessity for players on the front line. Cheng Shaofeng took some.
And this time he carefully checked many bottles of life potions and found that... even life potions are different!
What ordinary zombies exploded were the life potions that they had decomposed before. Based on their years of experience in decomposition, any living species had a chance of decomposing life potions.
It can immediately restore 30% of health points and continuously restore several hundred points of health.
But... when the player level is higher, ordinary life potions can not restore such a high percentage of health as before. A level 40 player may only recover about 10% of life after drinking a bottle.
Players all said it was a bug...
But Cheng Shaofeng knew that this was not a bug, but a kind of... attenuation of effect. The flesh and energy of the players' clones became stronger, so the effects of the powerful life potions that they had before remained the same, but they could not meet their current physical needs.
So... during the decomposition of hundreds of thousands of zombie corpses, Cheng Shaofeng discovered a relatively rare potion.
Advanced Health Potion
After taking it, it can instantly restore 40% of your health and continue to restore your injuries.
Use Level: 25
A potion that can only be used above level 25, and has a chance of dropping only on purple-haired zombies and above.
This potion can only give full effect to players above level 40.
Therefore, if Cheng Shaofeng intends to sell potions... he must not sell them randomly, otherwise, if a fourth-level professional comes to take medicine and drinks several bottles of ordinary life potions and has almost no effect, then it will be bad.
"There is a price difference between the two potions. One is sold to evolvers below level 4, and the other is specifically for professionals above level 4."
Although he has countless ordinary life potions on hand, according to the advice of 'Fatty Zhou', a big player in the real economy... If a monopoly industry wants to make more money, it must use hunger marketing to raise the value!
Even if he can mass-produce the products and the goods in the warehouse are all moldy, he still has to release them on a regular basis every month for users to grab them.
When they can't get them anymore... act as a scalper and sell them at a high price.
After all this, I made a lot of money!
He said he and his friends had done this before, but they stopped because the policy was too strict, but they could earn dozens of small goals each time they did it...
"It is said that the most profitable businesses are written in the criminal law..."
He has been busy these days and has asked the players for a lot of information. There is no such thing as life potion that can restore life as quickly and directly!
Then the life potion he has is a monopoly industry!
Play however you want.
But he didn't plan to sell it to the Chamber of Commerce, because he had sold it to the caravans in Colossus City before, and he probably had a plan in place. He was afraid that if the people in the Chamber of Commerce linked him here to the Scourge Base in Red City, it would be troublesome.
The Chamber of Commerce is an absolutely neutral force, but... it's no secret that there is no impenetrable wall.
What if those dog-nosed Christians tracked down his Red City base
In addition to the two regular drops above.
Zombies also have a lot of specialties to sell.
3. Life-eating Oil, a special potion with a high drop rate.
Life-eating oil
A disgusting potion that makes you lust for blood
Duration: 30 minutes
Vitality damage +50%
Vitality Decay +50%
6% of attack damage converted to health
After taking it, you will have a strong craving for meat
"We can sell some of this potion... There are all kinds of schools in the central city. This potion is a great boost for the evolvers of the vitality school, and it can also be drunk to absorb blood in close combat."
"I wonder if there is any melee vitality mage style... Then this bonus is fully utilized."
"Let's sell some of this stuff at the Chamber of Commerce this time!"
In addition to these frequently dropped loot, there is also a large amount of equipment to sell.
Some of the accessories are also very good, and several new inlays are also the main profit products of his store.
Cheng Shaofeng was carrying a small bag containing 20 bottles of Life-Eating Oil and was preparing to go to the Chamber of Commerce.
Just after leaving the sub-base, he suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted:
"Wu Ke, go to the Central City Chamber of Commerce and sell our potions. Try to sell them at a high price."
"Yes, my lord."
Wu Ke put down the map of central city in his hand, took the package and went out.
Cheng Shaofeng sat down on a small bench in the branch base and squinted his eyes in the sun.
"That's right~ How can a lord do everything himself every day?"
"As for the players, the more you direct them, the more fun they have. If you don't direct them, they will complain that they have no sense of purpose."
"I guess my prestige among the players will deepen again."
Cheng Shaofeng squinted his eyes and enjoyed the comfortable afternoon sun, feeling that everything was under control.
...
evening.
Wu Ke returned to the sub-base carrying a small bag of crystals. He looked at the sleeping Shadow Guard Lord, paused for a moment, then placed the crystals at the feet of Shadow Guard 2, took a photo, and calmly exited the game.
Open the official forum and post a message.
"The lord's sleepiness bug seems to have spread to the shadow guard lord. Pictures speak louder than words!"
This has attracted countless programmers to teach planners how to make games and what codes to write to eliminate the lord's vicious bugs.
We discussed for a long time, and even the most popular artificial intelligence software programmer abroad spoke in English, but we still couldn't come to a good conclusion.
Finally, a 40-year-old programmer made the final decision.
"If the program can run, don't change it. Otherwise, it won't be a lord who crashes."
Everyone:!
This is an old programmer!
The old programmer continued: "At worst, we can upload a few new Lords... Isn't the Shadow Guard Lord specifically designed to cover up this bug?"
Everyone:!
Steady as an old dog!
This programmer is obviously a veteran!
"Excuse me, sir... which company do you work for?"
Old programmer: "Haha~ I am not talented, but I am a Penguin veteran. Have you used the 2003 Penguin Chat? I am still using the code I wrote back then. Let's put it this way, if you use it in the background now... it is equivalent to running a medium-sized game."
Everyone suddenly realized!
"What's the stack?"
"The ancestral code... isn't it a meme?"
"Senior is worthy of being a senior! I admire you!"
Of course, Long Yi from the special forces team did not participate in this part of the topic. It was not because they were busy, nor because he looked down on programmers outside, but... At present, the focus of their work has completely changed.
Ever since the power of the shrine began to affect reality, the goal of the special forces team has changed from exploring the game to contacting the game planners to... exploring the shrine in the game, finding the part that intersects with reality, and figuring out the principles inside.
The people above were a little panicked.
This unknown force... may change the current world situation.
Although it is still very small now, the 3 shrines amplify some attributes and bring energy bonuses, so... what about 30 shrines
What about 300 shrines
By then, it will be a story like those in American blockbusters about how an individual’s power changes the times!
The special task force of "Apocalypse OL" is in the Longshan military base.
All official personnel entering the game are in this group.
They will report directly to senior management.
This project has been noticed by the senior management, who takes 10 minutes every day to listen to their progress.
After Wu Ke finished posting, he took off all the instruments on his body, climbed down from his bed, and walked to the cafeteria thoughtfully.
I met many players in the game on the way.
Among them, most of the talents in charge of diplomacy and trade who were specifically selected by Cheng Shaofeng knew each other. After all, there were only a few top people in this field, and everyone had heard of them even if they had not worked together.
Before that, they were thinking about which country’s embassy to set up, or discussing trade import and export issues with some countries, and fighting for national interests...
I really never thought that one day I would be called up by the country to play games.
Wu Ke ordered two bowls of rice and two large pots of food. The food standard was very high, and the higher-ups really paid enough attention to it.
A young man came over. He was Wu Ke’s junior fellow student, and Wu Ke had once worked with him on a project.
"Eh? Senior brother? Are you waiting to eat together?"
"No, I'll eat it myself."
"Then this amount..."
"Oh, I lost weight recently."
"Oh, I thought... huh?"
The junior brother opened his mouth wide... Then he got himself a meal and sat next to Wu Ke.
"Awesome, you have a good appetite, I just don't know how to play recently... It feels like a mess, just following other players to level up... I don't know what's the point, have you made any progress recently?"
Wu Ke looked at his junior's beef soup and thought for a moment...
“Forgot the soup...”
Then he went to get two more servings of soup.
Junior: “…”
Wu Ke poured the beef soup and corn soup together and sipped them.
"There will be progress soon..."
"What do you mean? What's the news? Hurry! I don't know what to do if I don't have a sense of purpose anymore."
The junior fellow is named Wang Shaochong. He is an impatient person, completely different from Wu Ke who always has a calm face.
Wu Ke said calmly: "The Lord has been very active recently and has made a big plan... Soon you will also be pulled over by the Lord to do some work."
"Eh? How come I didn't know? I took a quick look when I just logged off, and the lord was still sleeping."
"I'm talking about Shadow Lord No. 2, the one in Central City."
"Ah? The Lord went to Central City?"
Wu Ke's hands trembled slightly as he was eating rice.
"I can see... you're really not very good at playing games."
After saying that, Wu Ke shook his head again.
"This meal... will take a while. If you don't mind my slowness, I can tell you about some of my recent gains."
Wang Shaochong's eyes lit up: "I knew you would have an explanation, Senior!"
They all know... Wu Ke is not very old, but he is definitely a leader!
He is extremely good at open strategies and unconventional tactics.
“Do you believe in artificial intelligence?”
Wang Shaochong: "Like ChatGPT?"
Wu Ke: “I don’t believe it.”
"I observed every NPC in the game, especially the lords, and found their behavior logic...very human."
"We may be involved in something bigger than we thought..."
"The good news is: Fortunately, we got involved first."
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
