Chapter 243 242 The Big Red Hand and the Playing Party
Chapter 243 242. the Big Red Hand and the Playing Party
Murphy got what he wanted without incident.
As he expected, it wasn’t hard at all.
Although the strength of the Jackal Warlords entrenched in the Andromeda Hills was still growing by the day, yet Murphy was also uniting his forces, and he didn’t feel that he had no chance of winning.
The individual combat strength of the jackals was quite excellent, and as transcendent beings they also possessed better hardware than humans, but even in Transylvania, a place where order was lacking they couldn’t turn over the sky.
The worship of savagery makes it difficult for their walnut-sized brains to think of anything other than “eating meat” and “eating more meat” and “mating” and “more mating” and “more mating”. “more mating”.
Their civilization is still in a rather barbaric state.
Although some jackals have awakened and moved closer to civilization, the population as a whole can still be called “absolute barbarians”.
Numbers are their strength, but lack of organization is a fatal problem that goes hand in hand, and there are plenty of ways to deal with the Jackals before their numbers break the absolute threshold of being irresistible.
Although in Murphy’s opinion, vampires and other civilizations of this continent are not so advanced, but in front of the barbaric era of the foreigners, the degree of organization derived from the “higher civilization” already belongs to the “dimensional blow”.
Not to mention, the first four black plagues, no matter how obvious the advantage of the jackals in the early stage, in the late stage of the sudden collapse has been staged four times, that is the jackal leader does not know where the problem lies?
No!
They know better than anyone else, they just have no way to make effective adjustments, that’s all.
That was something even the King of Bone Biting couldn’t do.
And as Murphy considered his next strategy and tactics, he decided to hold off on adding more stress to the cute little players he had just fought for the next two days.
Let them just mess around and relax.
There would soon be a big battle waiting for them next, and recuperating was also a very important part of tension and relaxation in order to ensure the players’ fighting strength.
Murphy thought so.
He thought very well, but the players simply could not be idle.
“Brush copies la brush copies la brush copies!”
Little Reed Name who had just returned to Scarlet Fortress from the Spectral Baron’s Collar would be like ADHD flapping her wings around Lady Water just like a large elf, she waved her hands and screamed to:
“Go go go, there’s a new copy on the third floor of the sewer, it’s rumored that there are hidden drops, I’ll take you to brush it once and you’ll be at level 10, right?”
“I’m only level 7 now .”
Mrs. Water was obviously not that optimistic.
But she wasn’t pessimistic either. As a perfect woman who regarded “housewife” as her ultimate career, she didn’t care much about personal power-ups even when playing games.
She was less interested in the Black Iron Trials than in spending some time studying the unique aesthetics of vampires and the unique customs of the natives.
But since she was playing the game, the leveling thing was definitely important, and she really needed a bit of new equipment.
The others in the girl group were all physical professions, their leather armor and locks were not suitable for Lady Water, an absolute law system, and she would have to save up some recruit badges of her own to go to the Blood Wyvern Quartermaster and exchange them for a set of law veteran suits before she could set foot in the only group book currently available, “Advancement into Blood Wyvern’s Cloisters”.
“It’s okay, I’ve done all the math for you. Let’s brush the four five-player book once today, and then brush it once tomorrow, it should be enough, just to save cards, two trips total 24 cards, enough for you to change 8 pieces.
Even the weapons are all taken care of together, easy and happy ah.”
Little Vikrama broke his fingers with a look of full of energy, so that Mrs. Water is embarrassed to say no.
In addition, Orchid Flower, this powerful T has also held the black tea carrying a shield in place, so soon, the three of them teamed up to go to the sewers to prepare to go to the new copy of the “rat king’s doom” to try their luck, to see if they can get a hidden drop.
That said, this new copy has been launched for five days now, and no one has gotten the hidden drops yet.
After the three girls left their tents, Lumina and Pomegranate Sister were idle. After seven consecutive days of fighting, even Pomegranate Sister, the battle maniac, rarely felt mentally exhausted.
She planned to accompany Lumina around the city this afternoon to see if she could get a new sheet of music just as a distraction, and then tomorrow she would sleep at home for the day, and then go out for a shopping trip in the afternoon with a beautifully cleaned up appearance.
She couldn’t play games all the time either, if she really became a gaming nerd she’d be screwed.
But her rest plan is not ready yet, she saw the soldier strikes five people in the Lin Bei dog planes in their tent outside probing head, hand also carry a basket of freshly picked fruit.
“What are you doing? Brother Dog, come in.”
Lumina, who was polishing her musical instrument, shouted cheerfully, and Lin Bei Dog Plane heatedly giggled as he lifted the curtain and walked in.
It was as if he had really come as a guest, he first placed the fruit in his hand on the table and exchanged a few pleasantries before getting to the point, stealing a glance at Sister Pomegranate, who was maintaining her own Fist Blade Weapon, this formerly brash Bing Strike man then whispered:
“That. Sister Pomegranate, I’m a rough man, I’m not very good at talking, anyway, we brothers would like to beg you to be merciful in the next hunting battles .”
“Huh?”
Sister Pomegranate looked up in surprise, for a moment confused as to what Lin Bei dogpiled meant.
So Doggie explained somewhat helplessly:
“It’s like this, Cat took a mission from Lord Kudel, that Bao Min Officer admires Cat’s fighting talent, and he wants Cat to transfer from Maxim’s faction to his command, and become a warrior of the Hunting Baron.
Lord Maxim did not heckle and agreed to this faction change, but he gave Cat a challenge.
He demanded that Cat had to take the top spot in this jackal hunt before he would release him, and Lord Kudel agreed to this harsh condition as he also felt it was a warrior’s journey.
But…”
“Ow, so that’s how it is.”
Sister Pomegranate instantly understood what Lin Bei’s dog planes meant when they said “show mercy”.
She glanced at the current personal leaderboard, and the third place had been changed to Niu Niu, whose points had reached a staggering 642 points.
However, the second-place Cat had 843 points, while the first-place “Ultimate Wolf Killer”, Sister Pomegranate, had 880 points.
This is already a broken level of crushing.
Considering the fact that the current jackal hunting has only cleared a baronial territory, while the three counts of Transylvania have all been cleared, it’s enough to ensure that the points of the top ten will definitely break through to more than 2,000 points, so it can be completely understood that the top thirty players on the leaderboard are all the true meaning of the “bloody wolves and slaughterers”.
“No!”
Before Pomegranate could say anything, Lumina balked first, putting down the instrument in her hand, she said:
“And not to mention the difference between the highs and lows between Pomegranate and Cat, what about the revenue Pomegranate would lose by giving up first place? We do have a good relationship, but we can’t just make this kind of excessive request with empty words.
That first place Blood Wyvern Famous Blade wasn’t known to be of any quality, but to be used as the first prize of a big plot, it was surely the best weapon a player could get at the moment!
This kind of thing with the [Famous Blade] phrase was all divine weapons, even if it was placed in the background of the game, it was an absolutely precious collector’s item.
This really isn’t something we can give up just because you guys say a few words!”
“We’ll make up for it!”
Lin Bei Dogpatch waved his hand and said:
“How could we possibly let our own sisters suffer losses? The four of us have discussed it, no matter if it’s in-game physical compensation or offline economic compensation. By the time we open the treasure chest, no matter how much the things we open are worth, one person will share half of it with Sister Pomegranate.
You guys can pick whatever you like.
Cat’s personality is obviously more compatible with Lord Kudel, and it’s really important for his career development in the game, I mean, we could probably discuss it privately.”
“Dogpatch! What the fuck are you doing! Get your ass back here!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Cat’s voice with anger sounded outside the tent.
The other three brothers followed behind with embarrassed faces, it was obvious that this matter had not been concealed at all, and this scene caused Lumina and Sister Pomegranate to glance at each other.
Come to think of it, with that rigid and straight character of Brother Cat how could he possibly do this kind of illicit thing in private?
Sure enough, it was these guys who hid it from him and ran to discuss it in private.
Lin Bei dog shaving pull shrugged his head to know that today this scolding can not escape, but not yet waiting for him to get up, pomegranate sister first unhappy shouted:
“You are running to me here to play the bully?”
“.”
Cat didn’t know how to respond for a moment, then he saw the two sisters lifting the tent curtain and walking out, Sister Pomegranate looked at him with her arms wrapped around her and said:
“You’re still cursing here when your own brothers are looking out for you, who are you doing it for? Is this how you become a boss?”
“I just want to be honorable! That’s my bottom line as a human being.”
Cat returned with a strained neck.
“Fair my ass!”
Sister Pomegranate snorted:
“I’m a vampire, you’re a human, there’s a 10 point difference in attribute points alone, no matter how good you are at night you can’t be faster than me, you can barely keep up now, but once this hunt stretches out you’re bound to lose! Unless I roll over in the middle, but do you think that’s possible?
Actually, I don’t think that much about first place.
The main thing is that I want that Blood Wyvern Famous Blade, so it’s not impossible to let you first place finish your faction’s quest, but that blade has to be given to me!”
“I don’t need it!”
Cat replied stiffly:
“Winning is winning, losing is losing! There’s not that much to say, you’re better than me, I’m convinced, I’m not as skilled as others, I also recognize, but we all play the game, so don’t engage in private transactions that way, I don’t like it!”
“But you can’t joke about your career, this game can’t be shuffled and retrained, it’s clear that Lord Kudel’s fighting style is more suitable for you. People have agreed to release Maxim, obviously thinking of fulfilling you.
You guys don’t know what’s good for you!
I’ll tell you, this game’s NPCs hold grudges very well, you so continue to go on with the strongest items I guess you have to Maxim also annoyed.
We old players from the first test all the way to watch Maxim grow up, I tell you, that guy’s character is very extreme and trusted by Lord Murphy.
If you piss him off, you won’t have any luck.”
Lumina held her own freshly polished trumpet, she also said helpfully:
“I think it’s better this way, you’ll accept my family’s Pomegranate’s good intentions this time. After it’s over, the two of you will fight again in the arena, and split the winners and losers fairly and evenly, so we won’t hurt each other.
But you don’t want to owe me a favor.
So let’s make a deal in advance, in the future, if our Silver Moon’s Pride group needs help, you and your brothers must come over unconditionally to help.
At least three times!
And there’s not that many reasons to say that!”
“Brother Cat, let’s just agree, we can’t joke about our careers.”
The three brothers beside him also persuaded bitterly:
“Besides, you should also think about our team, Lord Kudel appreciates our unity, he has already said that either he will accept five or none. If you are too stubborn, how can our team develop in the future?
Didn’t you already make a wish to take the four of us across the continent to complete a ‘Chivalrous Journey’?
We’ve made a deal!”
Cat did not say anything with a wooden face, this stalemate made Sister Pomegranate somewhat unable to watch, she waved to him, and the two of them walked to the side and said something.
A few minutes later, Cat walked back and nodded with a smelly face.
Sort of agreeing to the deal.
Lumina was very curious as she watched the Soldier Strike Group leave, then she asked in a small voice:
“What did you tell him? What did you tell him that made this stinky, hard rock nod?”
“I’m going to take my brother out for a trip in a few days, and on the way, I’ll visit a few uncles to give them mid-autumn gifts, as ordered by the elders of the family.”
Sister Pomegranate moved her body in place and said:
“We’re planning our travel route, I said I could take a trip to the southwest where he is, fighting around in the game is exciting but not that flavorful. I want to fight him in reality!”
“Well, well, well, meet your online friends offline!”
Lumina said with round eyes and a very nosy voice:
“You’re going to run to the present ah, must let Niu Niu record it for me, do you need cosmetics ah? I’ll buy it over here and send it back to you? The time should still be in time.”
“Can’t talk ah you! What do you mean by Ben now? You explain it to me clearly!
Can’t you think of anything else in your head?
Don’t run!
Come back.”
Exasperated, Garnet rubbed Lumina’s head around with such forceful pressure that she let out a guttural scream, finally daring to stop babbling.
—
“What are you sneaking around for?”
In the “Rat King’s Doom” assembly stone in the sewers, Little Vikrama, who had already developed her own fighting style, had just used her Hammer Guard to smash the body of the Scythe-wielding God of the Dead, and was enjoying the pleasure of her victory with a soothing face, feeling that the equipment in this game was really worth every penny.
The powerful weapon she had customized from Sister Marianne at great expense was far more powerful than the Blood Vulture Clan’s standard elite musket!
As a result, he turned around, but coldly saw the small player dressed in night clothes beside him grinding away at the BOSS’s corpse.
Seemingly wanting to speak, but not knowing how to open his mouth, Little Reed Name’s eyes rolled and grinned flirtatiously:
“This kind of performance of yours, is it the legendary social phobia?”
“Ah, no! I just rarely deal with people.”
The player with the ID “Frost Tooth Claw” shook his head and scratched his head in embarrassment:
“I just wanted to ask, what is this ‘Rat King’s Vicious Remnant’? After I just touched the BOSS corpse, there’s this special token on the character interface.”
“Blanch! Hidden drop!”
Little Reed Name was shocked upon hearing that.
She went over to look at it, and the character screen of Frost Tooth and Claw showed that the description of the token was “The remnants of Calamity Rat King Zweig’s malice converge in it”, which sounded very powerful.
“This is your first time playing this copy, right?”
Orchid came over as well, leaning on her Seiko Iris Shield as she asked:
“First time out? Hands so red?”
“Uh, this is actually my first time playing a copy with someone else.”
Frosttooth Claw replied in a somewhat embarrassed whisper:
“I’m not really used to moving with other people, I’ve been doing Miss Dorothy’s quests alone this whole time. Also, I would like to ask what the title ‘Warrior’ means?
After I finished a career quest this morning, Ms. Dorothy said that from now on, I’m her first ‘Warrior’.”
“That means you’ve earned Ms. Dorothy’s trust and shown her the potential in you, allowing her to determine that you’ve got what it takes to be a powerful stalker on your own! It must have been your persistent perseverance that impressed the wily gangster in control.
From what I’ve seen of the Blood Rats gang, that’s not going to be easy.”
Another administrative player, Knight of Honor Tepal, who had followed the three girls to dabble in the duplicates, came over and said to Frostbite’s Claw with a serious face, dressed like Paladin:
“This is a great opportunity for you, Stalker! You have gained the trust of a lady with a mysterious past, and you cannot fail her.”
“Hey, why are you talking in this flavor?”
Little Vikrama said with a wink:
“Oh, I see, you’re the legendary ‘RP party’ right? Lumina says you’re a real roleplayer.”
“I can’t understand what you’re saying, beautiful and dashing lady.”
Honorable Knight Tepal boarded back in the exact same tone as the NPC, making the other three girls laugh, mostly because he was so full of this flavor. Especially the phrase “I don’t understand what you’re saying”.
This is Lord Murphy’s mantra, and this guy’s imitation is simply exquisite.
“Go, go, go, follow Tooth to see what this hidden drop can be exchanged for.”
Little Reed Name yelled and led the way ahead, being the first to exit the copy.
But Teapar didn’t move.
He was still planning to continue exploring the flow of this already beaten copy, and the last one to leave, Lady Water, gave the in-depth role-playing party a look as she asked curiously:
“You’re an administrative player, aren’t you?”
“Well, my humble self has received an official appointment from Baroness Miriam, the Scarlet Consul!”
At the mention of this, Honor Knight Tepal immediately answered with a proud face and chest puffed out:
“As soon as I complete the harsh administrative examination, I will be able to travel with my loyal guards to the fiefdom that belongs to me, which is one of the five collective farms under the Barony of Lim, and I have already determined that I will name the village that belongs to me ‘Novice Village’!
After I have settled everything there, I will send invitations to the three beautiful ladies who have helped me today, inviting you all to my manor for a dinner party befitting you and me”
“Ugh, you have too much of a taste for this talk.”
Lady Water said with a headache waving her hand:
“It really doesn’t play well with you oddballs, but I’ll be attending your knight’s dinner, Lord Tepal, and I hope it’s one that doesn’t disappoint the ladies.”
After saying this, Lady Water pinched up her skirts and gave a rather standard and elegant courtly salute to Tepal, who brightened up and immediately responded with an unmistakably standard knight’s salute, then watched Lady Water disappear into the illusion.
“Ah, my humble servant really loves this game!”
In the illusion of the replica where he was the only one left, Tepal’s arms spread out like a sun knight about to embrace the world as he shouted:
“Gentlemen! I have found the holy land of my dreams, the world in which I will fulfill the second life I have been planning and longing for!
Gentlemen!
Witness the legend of His Excellency, Knight of Honor Tepal!
I’ll take it.
Uh-huh?
What the hell is that noise next to me?
There should be no more monsters in this copy!
Is there?
Hidden Plot!
Ha, I really am the Chosen Knight, aren’t I? Transylvania is really the holy city of my destiny!”
