Chapter 40 40 The suffering of one group of people is just a brush with another group of people
Chapter 40 40.One group of people’s misery is just another group of people’s brush-offs
“Bang.”
Miriam pulled the trigger, letting a searing lead bullet shoot out of the muzzle right into the large spider that lunged forward with teeth and claws and eyeballs all over its body.
The guy’s body was the size of a millstone, and it looked scary in the shadows as it pounced quickly, but that was probably the most threatening thing about it, as it disintegrated into obscured smoke and flakes right where it was after being shot through the body.
But before Miriam could rejoice, that cloud of smoke quickly combined with the heavy shadows around her, and turned into a gray, four-legged snake that lunged towards her.
Scared Miriam lost her face, this was not the kind of ghostly thing that a lady and a reserve scholar should be dealing with!
“Duck!”
Bull, who had just killed a wild dog illusion with his shotgun, let out a roar, grabbed the vampire emblem shield in his hand and got up to swat the lunging four-legged serpent away, while next to him, Chess rushed up with a strange cry and slashed with two swift swords in a twitching, maddening streak, slicing the monstrous thing into several pieces.
“Thanks.”
The red-haired girl whispered to Niu Niu, but she doubted that the latter understood at all, because the tall and strong guy quickly and gleefully went up to seek the bad luck of those Star Realm monsters with his battle spear again.
Miriam had a hard time understanding the brain circuits of these Murphy warriors for a while.
The ten minutes of defense clearance had proved that these monsters were simply unkillable, they had no entity at all as if they were projections of chaotic forces in the material world.
Normal people would know that in this situation, they should save their living forces and retreat, but these guys were happy to defend this position and fight with all the monsters they could see.
There were even brave people who didn’t use shotguns, but took cold weapons and went up to fight those dangerous things.
Often it takes several people to work together to knock down a wave of monsters without any return, but they are full of excitement as if they have found a treasure.
Miriam was puzzled, could it be that these otherworldly people summoned by Murphy were all irredeemable natural war-mongers?
The truth was certainly not like that.
Small players couldn’t speak passionately about battles without rewards, but if they could endure the lack of any drops and keep killing in the same place, it proved that they could definitely benefit from the process.
For example.
“Skillful! I’ve mastered my Blood Vulture Sword Art! The character level is also brushed up to level 3, ahahahahaha, Che Che knew that Che Che was definitely a one-in-a-million martial arts genius!”
The invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Che Che who swung his dual swords and took out another Phantom Monster under the cover of the bulls laughed up to the sky, just a moment ago, his player interface reminded him that the only Melee Skill he had mastered at the moment got a breakthrough, and before he could reach the third syllable of his laughter, another pop-up alert caused Che Che Che to glaze over.
“Blanch! I can transfer!”
He shouted excitedly to the cooing chickens and cows beside him:
“The interface prompted me to become a professional because I reached mastery in one of my skills, and it also prompted me that I can transfer into a ‘swordsman’, what about you guys?
Did you guys get a reminder?”
“I’m only level 2, I’m still a bit short.”
Cuckoo Chicken scanned his player interface, that experience bar representing power mastery was already level 2 and 70%, he shouldered his hand and a half sword and said to Che Che:
“I guess I’ll be able to level up in another ten minutes of hacking.”
“Don’t you chop blindly for a few minutes! It’s not like other games where you get experience for hitting monsters, this game doesn’t give experience for killing monsters, it’s been said that the experience bar represents skill and power mastery.”
As the “forerunner” of the car car immediately complacent, to coo coo chicken pointed out to:
“You have to use the sword moves that the white-haired NPC taught you to kill monsters, understand? The more you chop, the higher your proficiency will naturally be.”
“Huh, I’ve got it too!”
As soon as the words fell, Niu Niu, who had poked a large spider to death with his sword and shield in coordination next to him, also got the hint, but he looked at it carefully and said to Che Che:
“But my transfer reminder isn’t ‘Swordsman’, it’s ‘Shield Hand’, shit! Is it really going in the direction of Shield T?”
“You three come back first!”
Just when the three of them couldn’t decide what to do, Brother Woo Meow’s voice rang out from their arithmetic pearls, and Brother Woo Meow, as the temporary “team leader”, instructed with a piquant accent:
“You’re rushing too far, come back! Lord Murphy’s orders are to defend the city walls, there are dangerous things in the city, don’t go too deep.
By the way, have you gotten your transfer reminders yet?
Don’t rush the transfer yet!
Come back to the group and total it up. We seem to have found a bit of a pattern.
Especially you, Niu Niu! You have two character specialties, don’t just transfer and waste your number, this game doesn’t have a point wash.”
“Let’s go, wrap up the fight and go back to touching fish.”
Niu Niu slung his shield onto his back, grabbed another battle sword in his hand, and quickly traversed through the cracks in the city wall that had already been cleared once with his two brothers to return to the player positions.
This time the small players had basically completed the defense task Murphy had set up, although those monsters would all turn into black smoke after being killed and then revert back to their other forms, but killing more of these weird things couldn’t be topped off, and the obscuring shadows near the torn city wall fissure were obviously much lighter than the rest of the place.
This is the small players in the previous thirty minutes “crazy killing” results.
“Aiya, we can finally brush the monsters freely, although there are no drops, it’s good to increase skill proficiency.”
Resting in the position of the leader of the big pigeon just killed a lot of monsters with their own hands, had a good time of the addiction of the gun, this will be immersed in the joy of having brushed to level 3.
Just like the others, his sword skill had also improved rapidly during the intense battle, and he had also brushed up a [Elementary Shooting Proficiency] character talent.
“Don’t get busy transferring your talents just yet, all of you!”
Brother Woo Meow in his position sat on a rock with a big sword, loading his shotgun while speaking to the few players who had rotated down to rest:
“I just discussed it with Happy Stick, he already played with guns and always practiced shooting in the game, so he has a ‘Gunner’ transfer tip! Together with Niu Niu’s ‘Shield Hand’ and Che Che’s ‘Swordsman’, this already shows that this game’s career system isn’t fixed.
The system definitely assigns transfer hints to us according to our strength and skill proficiency bias, and even though everyone has three career bars each, from my years of experience playing the game, the first career is still very important in the early stages.”
This cunning sociopath rubbed his cheek and said to the young players looking at him:
“If you just want to have fun, then of course it’s fine to choose whatever you want.
But we’re the first batch of players, and we’ll definitely need to raid copies or bosses in the future, so assigning career pairings from now on will allow us to be a step ahead in terms of intensity.”
“You mean, engage in occupation matching?”
The Bionic Snail, who was pinching his water bladder to drink, tilted his head and asked Brother Whoop Meow:
“Are you planning to start a guild? Or are you going to be a professional player?”
“Pretty much, they are all closed beta players, don’t you guys want to rush to the top stream big brother? If you don’t have a dream to play the game, what’s the difference between that and a rookie who still wants to swing a bad game under the Ming Ming Hu opening?”
Brother Woo Meow didn’t hide his ambition, he clicked the shotgun in his hand to load it and said to the others:
“The test group assigned to our project is very difficult, you all know this, so I think we should be cautious, even if we don’t engage in a professional team, we have to make reasonable use of the advantages.
For example, the bull that [fist fighter] character specialties and up to 8 points of strength, which if turned into a pure shield hand is not a big loss? I suggest that the bull to seize the advantage, from now on to practice close combat, may be able to turn a hidden profession of martial arts monk or something in the future.
There’s also Che Che’s [Optimism] specialty.
This is clearly a resistance talent tailored to the spell caster profession, although the thinking is only five points, but you’re not going to play psychic ability with such a good specialty, running to become a swordsman for what?
Didn’t you learn Psychic Impact from Missy?
Why don’t you use it when fighting monsters?”
Being counted down by him for a while, both Che Che and Niu Niu rolled their eyes in disbelief, the student party didn’t care about these calculations, they just wanted to have a good time.
But there were indeed others who were prompted by Brother Woo Meow to reexamine their planning and development in the game. The sociopath’s argument, though utilitarian, was indeed correct; to excel in any situation you had to find your own strengths first.
“What about you? Oooh meow, what are you going to turn?”
Sango Doo couldn’t help but ask, and Woo Meow grinned in a mysterious way:
“I ah, I don’t turn for the time being, brush up the character level and then mess around with the NPC’s goodwill, I plan to turn vampire afterward, dark night blood, how handsome.”
“Shit! You can still change races? You came with the news?”
The extra guide immediately jumped up with three or five buckets, and he said with his hand held high:
“Coach, I want to be an Orc! The kind that’s big, black, thick, and strong, and always bullies elf girls until they cry!”
“Be an ass, I said turn vampire because our NPCs are vampires, I specifically asked Maxim about it, vampires in this game can first embrace.”
Brother Woo Meow skimmed his mouth and said to the other small players with a hateful face:
“Think about it, if vampires are not optional, then why arrange for a vampire to be our guide NPC?
Simply for the sake of popularity, wouldn’t it be better and more enjoyable to have a beautiful girl?
People so big game to do these detailed arrangements must have a deep meaning, you know it, right? Take that red-haired NPC Miriam for example.
Don’t look at her, but I’ve asked her.
In the background, she’s a student at the Halfling university, and the Halflings are the best at mechanics in this game, so if you brush up on Miriam’s favorability, you might be able to get a mechanic or something from the Halflings later on.
You guys!
You have to use your brains to play the game, understand?”
“I’ve learned, I’ve learned, Brother Woo Meow is really awesome.”
Some of the small players next to him immediately paid their respects, allowing Brother Woo Meow’s vanity to be greatly satisfied, and he was planning to set up a position to say a few more words, but he was coldly surprised by the strange cries of Happy Stick coming from the top of his head.
This guy climbed to the half waist of the collapsed city wall, and was holding a monocular there to observe the surrounding, he would yell to:
“Quickly! Come over here quickly with a few people for defense! Meow Meow, don’t blow water, bring someone to the top! Meow Meow Shark and Pigeon Treasure, you two have a talent for shooting, now open up your automatic hunting crossbows and prepare for fire suppression!
Our NPC is here, and he’s got someone on his back!
A lot of NPCs in the city are running over after him, he should have saved them. Fuck! I told you why we must be here to guard this safe passage, after all this time it’s actually a rescue mission?”
“Old Qu!”
Brother Woo Meow called over the most accurate gun shooting Electronic Phantom under his command, gave him his and Sanwu Dou’s guns and bullets, and instructed in a low voice:
“We’re a fixed team of five, you have the highest dexterity, so you’ll be the shooter from now on, let Sanwu Dou with high stamina be the Shield T, the powerhouse Black Silk Brother be the Swordsman, Ring Rush be the Dual Swordsman, and I’ll make a cameo appearance as the Mage.”
“Huh?”
The electronic chimera were dumbfounded.
He stared at Whimpering Meow and said suspiciously:
“But your thinking is only 4 ah! It’s lower than even me, so are you sure you can be a Phantom? Shit, you’re not trying to touch fish, are you? It’s fine to touch fish at work, but you’re going to touch fish when you’re playing a fucking game?”
“You’re the one who talks too much!”
Brother Woo Meow put on an unhappy expression of “I’m the boss and I’m reasonable” and said:
“It’s fine to think low now, when I successfully turn vampire then won’t my thinking be higher? Just like Missy, I’ll grow wings and take you all to fly, just watch and see.”
“Bang.”
Overhead occupying the heights of the happy stick the first to open fire, he is currently a solo player has no team, so by nature to just changed the “gunman”.
With the professional talent bonus to make his gun shooting more accurate and deadly, flying bullets grazed Murphy’s shoulder and hit the head of a strange bird swooping behind him, and the skill experience value has slightly increased by a touch.
The sound of the gunshot was like a signal.
The small players in the position immediately opened fire, repelling the insubstantial monsters chasing after Murphy.
Murphy, on the other hand, carried the weakened Tris on his back and strided forward, and he was accompanied by a calf-sized Star Realm Giant Wolf, which was ferocious and unusual, guarding Murphy’s body and pouncing left and right, so that the monsters that rushed out from the shadows couldn’t get close to him.
As for the nearly one hundred panicked citizens following behind Murphy, it was purely an accident.
Murphy had no intention of caring about them.
But when he was looking for wine to suppress the pain for Tris, he accidentally found a few asylum seekers in the grocery store, all of them were neighbors and embarrassed to drive them away, as a result of the process of transferring to the city wall fissure with them, those terrified citizens joined in one after another and became like this now.
So many fearful beings gathered together, their emotional fluctuations naturally attracted those star realm monsters that feed on spiritual energy, and all sorts of twisted creatures kept rushing out from the shadows.
Every now and then, they grabbed an innocent person and feasted on them, scaring the others even more so that they didn’t dare to stay away from Murphy.
They were already exhausted under the torment of disaster and fear, but this would reach the walled passageway, and seeing that there was support ahead, these innocents finally saw hope.
They burst out their last strength to accelerate their pace, in the small players of support shooting hard to escape from the hell of Cadman City.
“Miriam!”
Murphy couldn’t rest even after rushing out of the crack in the city wall.
He surveyed the Star Realm energy that was constantly escaping from the city to the outside world, and turned his head to shout to Miriam, who was hiding behind the small players pretending to be a powerful DPS, but actually groping for fish until she was flying:
“Retreat these people to safety! Tris told me that the astral creatures feed on their spirits and emotions, and their staying here will only attract more dangerous things.”
“What about you?”
Miriam was instantly relieved to hear that she could get out of the battlefield, but still asked facetiously, and Murphy glanced behind him at the small group of players still fighting as he blurted out:
“I can’t abandon my warriors, I’m going to stay here and continue fighting with them.”
The words were spoken in a dignified manner.
By the way, he swiped a wave of goodwill from the small players.
In reality, the truth was that not only did the small players need skill proficiency, but Murphy needed it just as much!
Seeing that the players were brushing up on the monsters here, how could Murphy miss such a good thing?
According to what Tris said on the way, it would take at least seven more days until Cadman City was swallowed into the Star Realm and the plague subsided, so he decided to be a powerful brusher here and brush his Dual Profession Level and Character Level to Level 10.
Even though it was not nice to say such things as stealing experience from small players, it was something that could not be helped, how could he lead the small players to conquer the otherworld if he could not brush up his own level?
Therefore, tonight, this city wall brushing point, it will be me, Mr. Mo, to pack the field!
