Abnormal paradise

The actions of the man in the water quickly attracted Ember's attention. After all, the continuous withdrawal prompts made him unable to ignore it. Many people who placed orders asked Ember to cancel their orders. Fortunately, some players still chose to Stay, and those who come online one after another will also make up for the orders after joining the group, ensuring the improvement progress of Gibi.

At first, Ember thought it was because [Continuous Jump] failed to exert its due appeal, but soon someone revealed the truth.

"Store manager, something bad has happened. Someone is taking your business!"

The local tycoon player [Golden Cymbal Dharma King], who is used to calling Yu Ember this way, sent a private message saying: "The people over there at Jiu Gua contacted me secretly. As long as I cancel my order and quit the group, I can buy throwing potions at a low price. The more I withdraw, the better." The more discounts you get, the better. They also sent me the attribute panel of the throwing potion. One can increase movement speed, and the other can cause area damage. Even without the discount, the price is far lower than the market price, and even I am a little tempted! "

"No wonder!"

Seeing this information, Yi Yan was immediately relieved. He didn't pay much attention to Jiu Gua's actions. Instead, he paid more attention to the sales of [Continuous Jump]. After all, everyone who had used this skill card said it was good, and it was sold at a very low price. Price, there is no reason for sales to be sluggish.

It seems that the world is still normal!

Ember nodded secretly and immediately put his energy into drawing, not worried about losing his business.

However, Yi Yan's indifference made King Jinbo anxious for him. Seeing that his reply was silent, he couldn't help asking: "Manager, aren't you in a hurry?"

"What's the rush?"

"It's your job as captain! What if they get together and want to remove you? Jiu Gua is famous for not showing mercy to others when it comes to power. Sometimes, they don't even take us rich players into consideration."

King Jinbo’s explanation was particularly rude. Generally speaking, large guilds would rather offend top players than offend local tycoons. After all, the latter can bring large and direct monetary gains, and Jiu Gua is the top player above the large ones. The existence combines strength and financial resources, and even often does things that both sides despise. Therefore, even if Jiu Gua's large army is not around, the people in the water still have the confidence to compete with the ember.

"... Don't worry, as long as I don't make mistakes, there is no chance of this." Yu Jin twitched the corners of his mouth, looking extremely confident. There was one thing he didn't say out loud, and that was that he was eager for a few more people in the water to compete with him for business.

Because the cleanup tasks he got only had time requirements and no quantity limit, which was different from ordinary players. In other words, even if Ember was passive and slow in his work, as long as others acted quickly, Ember could still get the highest reward, and the farmer was satisfied He has changed. The action of the man in the water was exactly what Ember was trying to do. Instead, he wanted to thank the man in the water for his generous donation and help him complete the captaincy test even at a loss.

As for the circumstances of the dismissal that King Jinbo was worried about, Yi Jin also explained that as long as he efficiently completes the tasks from the top, he does not even need to be responsible for his subordinates, and his position as captain can be secure.

Moreover, there are not a few players who choose to stay in the group. The highly respected Fish Scale Arms, who have both strength and fame, are not the Jianghu duo. They did not even receive private messages about quitting the group, and their existence also ensures the group's The attraction, coupled with those who had grievances with Jiu Gua, caused the number of group members to quickly stop falling and increase, so it was King Jinbo's turn to warn Ember.

"This is the truth, but what if there is an emergency? You must have an undercover agent here, it's best to find him!" Jinbo Dharma King seems to be more interested than Yu Yan, because he has an old grudge with Jiu Gua, although it is not serious. , but relatively diaphragmatic.

"Forget it about finding an undercover agent. It's a waste of time. Why don't Brother Fa Wang help me and go there to be an undercover agent? In fact, being an undercover agent is the second most important thing. Bringing goods is the real thing!" An idea came to Yu Yan's mind, "Anyway, if you don't take advantage of it, you won't take advantage of it." , if you quit the group in a high-profile way, you can get more discounts over there. If you can, help and buy me a few bottles of potions, tsk, it’s so cheap, I would be tempted if it were me!"

"Uh..." Jin Bo Dharma King had a hard time understanding Yi Yan's calmness, but he was very interested in the idea of ​​harvesting wool.

The two of them probably discussed it for a while, and then brought over the Fish Scale Arms and Not the Sword Immortal. Then the King of Golden Cymbals openly quit the group, joined the Jiu Gua Fang in a high profile, asked for a very good discount, and then carried it forward naturally. With his rich and generous style, he made many orders.

Such a result made the people in the water happy and distressed at the same time. Players were attracted by her a lot, but the pressure on resources gradually increased. No matter how deep their Jiu Gua background was, they could not afford unlimited squandering, but there was no way to change it after they said it. I can only suppress my resentment in my heart and wait until the ember falls before venting it out.

On the other hand, Ember was writing and painting leisurely. He went offline immediately after clearing his orders, without affecting his normal work and rest. When he finished his workout and logged in again, the enthusiastic players had already cleared most of the blood vines. Among them, Ember's skill cards The medicine thrown by the people in the water played an important role, at least increasing the advancement speed by more than 30%, which was much faster than when they went into battle in person.

"Hahahaha, people in the water are really suitable for charity!"

Seeing that Ember was online, King Jinbo traded a few bottles of potions he ordered, settled the balance, and then continued: "There is no movement over there for the time being. They are basically discussing the experience of killing blood vines. If there is any I will notify you of the news as soon as possible!"

"Okay, please, Brother Dharma King! I can make new cards right away. If you are interested, brother, the cost price of the first one is, of course, don't say I'm stingy. You'll understand when you see the results. .”

"This relationship is good. Being an undercover takes both sides. I have to thank you very much, the store manager! I won't say any more. I have to brush the blood vines as soon as possible. Each of these guys' hands is faster than the other. Even doubling the number will not be enough. They killed it!"

After communicating with the King of Golden Cymbals, Yi Yan simply continued to take orders, and rushed the proficiency level of the copy brush to the third level in one go. He only gave up after meeting the production requirements of Little Mantis.

Compared with [Continuous Jump] and [Enhanced Slash], Little Mantis is obviously much more difficult to draw. The production cost alone is as high as 20,000 credits. Thanks to Ember, he can enjoy a 50% discount, plus he has some funds on hand, otherwise It's really hard to afford such high production costs. As for the quality of the paintings that directly affects the level of the finished product, it is not difficult for Ember at all. As long as the image characteristics of the two skills are combined at the same time, it takes less than twenty minutes to create a dynamic card with perfect evaluation. Out of the oven.

[Tip: You used the abnormal tool "Gi Pen" to successfully create the follower card "Enhanced Juvenile Shadow-Eating Insect (Mantis Type)". Due to the extremely excellent painting quality, the card effect will be based on the second-level top attribute level. Get the template blessing from the boss BOSS! 】

…

[Enhanced Juvenile Shadow Eater (Mantis Type)] (Follower Card)

Type: consumable items

Function: Summon an "enhanced juvenile shadow-eating insect" with "second-level top attribute template" and "leader BOSS template", lasting three hours, valid times (1/1)

Introduction: This is a follower card made with the mantis-shaped juvenile shadow-eating insect as a template. Due to the excellent painting quality, the card effect has been fully improved. After you tear it into pieces, you can summon a powerful partner to fight alongside you. .

Producer: Foundation official employee "Ember"

[Tip: This prop is valid for two days, please use it as soon as possible! 】

…

"Tsk, tsk, it's really a good thing that one's skills can be applied to games."

Yi Yan carefully examined the effect of the card, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious. He said in his heart that he was not satisfied, but it was fake. Even his steps were a little wandering at this moment.

It was also mentioned in the card introduction that the prototype of Little Mantis was just a young shadow-eating insect. As a result, after some finishing touches by him, the life level was raised a bit. In the end, the effect of the card was fully strengthened, and it was even better when faced with lords of the same level. Have the strength to fight.

Although at this stage, it is nothing new for players to challenge lords alone, but if Ember summons a lord's younger brother when facing the enemy, the concept will be different.

He wanted to experiment with the card's effect immediately, but he felt sorry for the 10,000 credit points. After all, this thing was enough to be used as a trump card, so how could he use it at will? So, Ember directly thought of the Golden Cymbal King. At present, although there are still a lot of parasitic blood vines left in the base, the player's killing speed will definitely not delay until the early morning, and the wasteland operation can enter the next stage. The task evaluation of ordinary players is linked to the quantity, so the Golden Cymbal King, who has poor technology but strong financial resources, just becomes the best candidate to pass on the cost.

Ember directly sent the card information, but a few seconds later, the Golden Cymbal King replied with a series of exclamation marks.

"Holy shit, did you really draw this?" King Jincymbal was a little unbelievable. The Foundation's anomalous tools can be regarded as the characteristics of the organization, but so far not many people are lucky enough to obtain them, not to mention that even if some people get them, they are unable to perform their duties. value, so when he first saw the card introduction of Little Mantis, the King of Golden Cymbals immediately became uneasy.

"The cost price is 10,000 credits. You are a good boy. If Brother Dharma King opens the card on the spot, I can give you a 20% discount!" In order to witness the effect of the card, Yi Jin did everything he could, and he lost two thousand anyway. Points are much better than losing ten thousand points.

The King of Golden Cymbals did not hesitate. He agreed on the transaction location with Ember on the spot. He raised his hand and received 10,000 credits. He immediately rushed back to the battlefield with the card in hand. Ember switched to the mask form to hide the ID information, regardless of whether others could see the clues. , directly followed King Jin Bo into the place where the battle was most anxious.

The place where the bloodvine disaster in the wasteland base is most serious is near the wall in the southeast area.

The war fortifications protected the wasteland base, but they failed to block the all-pervasive parasitic blood vines. Not only were there a large number of blood vines gathered here, but there were even "humanoid derivatives", that is, derivative soldiers produced by the barracks, which were parasitized .

These derivative soldiers have certain military qualities, and they have not forgotten their tactics even when they were parasitized by the blood vines. This resulted in the free blood vines, under their organization, exerting extremely powerful dealing abilities, although they still cannot stop players from passing through. The pace towards victory has seriously slowed down the speed of clearing the blood vines.

As a result, more and more players have invested in it, and King Jinbo, who only has financial advantages, has difficulty standing out among the crowd.

Seeing the King of Golden Cymbals leaving and returning, a player suddenly laughed and said: "King of Golden Cymbals, aren't you rich? Hurry up and smash it, don't stop!"

The person who spoke was the enemy of the King of Golden Cymbals, and he was also a moderately rich player. However, this person was quite capable, so he was able to steadily outdo the former in this competition.

"Just smash it, who is afraid of whom?"

"Hey! That's not a small tone. I'm afraid you'll hit it too much and lose all your money!"

The King of Golden Cymbals snorted and summoned the little mantis without saying a word. No, the young shadow-eating insect that received the enhanced prefix was much larger in size, and its limbs were almost as long as an adult's arm. It immediately attracted a lot of attention. Many players noticed at a glance that the pair of gleaming sickle-shaped blades of the Mantis leader actually showed a metallic luster, and the two scarlet worm eyes were murderous, making the players who looked at them realize that this thing was a bit strange. Easy to mess with.

Good guy!

Where did this happen?

The sudden appearance of the leader of the mantis shocked many players. Even the opponent of the Golden Cymbal King couldn't help but narrow his eyes and quickly used the detection technique. The final result made him frown. With the mantis leader's mobility and attack power, killing the blood vine is simply a fool's errand. But the most terrifying thing is that it inherits the monster's infinite physical strength. The efficiency of clearing the blood vine is comparable to that of two players. I'm afraid they can say that. not enough.

Sa!

The King of Golden Cymbals waved his hand, and the mantis leader popped out instantly. The sickle-shaped blade flashed in the air, like cutting grass, and immediately killed several blood vines gathered together. Then he landed and bounced to another place, launching a fierce attack again. The extremely powerful killing move chopped down the parasitic blood vines to pieces, making the surrounding players envious.

If no one stops the mantis leader, it will only be a matter of time before Golden Cymbal King's kill ranking reaches the top.

However, although there are many players who can kill the leader of the Mantis in the field, no one takes action at this moment. Even the opponents of the Golden Cymbal King do not act rashly. The reason is that for the sake of a kill ranking, wealthy players such as the Golden Cymbal King are killed. It is never a wise move to offend someone at the risk of death. At least so far, everyone's purpose is very clear, to complete the preliminary tasks as soon as possible and officially trigger the adventure stage. Therefore, despite a lot of friction before, there has never been a deadly battle.

Such a relatively healthy competition mode also allowed Ember to pay leisurely attention to the combat performance of the Mantis leader, allowing him to make a reasonable assessment in his mind and determine under which circumstances it would be more appropriate to summon followers to participate in the battle.

However, after all, the players present did not belong to the same organization, and the captain of Ember was almost "in name only". After most of the free blood vines were killed, five derivative soldiers parasitized by the blood vines immediately appeared. Four of them belonged to Lord level, and the remaining one is the legendary BOSS!

In an instant, the fighting atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Even Ember is thinking of taking action...
