Abnormal paradise

The closer he got to being ready, the more Ember paid attention to potential competitors, but what he didn't know was that the actual competitor paid more attention to his movements.

"Why is Ember here too?"

"Come just come, are you afraid of him?" The people traveling with him said nonchalantly.

"I can't say I'm scared, I'm just a little unhappy."

[Lanquetail] from the Sanren Alliance shook his head: "When Gold Rush Town opened, Ms. Shadow issued a task to all the dark messengers, asking us to be the first to come to her. I thought I had already inquired about it. With everyone’s situation, I thought there was no chance of any surprises, but suddenly embers popped up.”

"Hey, let me tell you, there is no need for you to worry about gains and losses. That guy disappeared for three days and wasted all the advantages. If [Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon] and the others hadn't persisted, the president would have given up the idea of ​​recruiting him. , you don’t think that Ember is still the number one player before, right?”

Lan Quewei, who was dressed in fine clothes, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You haven't been recruited by the eldest daughter of the sun and the shadow lady, so you don't understand how difficult it is to be promoted to the apostle of the dark curtain, and how many additional resources can you get after promotion? Otherwise, you will die. President Song would not even hand over the management of the guild to his deputy in order to attack the Dark Curtain Apostles. But Yi Yan had become a Dark Curtain Apostle at least three days ago. Who knows how many benefits he got from the Shadow Lady? Even if he wasted three days Even if there is no time, I don’t think I can really win.”

"Is he really that powerful? Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige!" The people traveling with him looked suspicious. "Ember arrived so late. Maybe he encountered some situations on the way. What if he missed the competition event and was punished by the system? If I get the coin, I won’t have a chance to fight with you!”

If there is no protection mechanism for hidden tasks, the several competitive events before arriving at Gold Rush Town will be counted as ember delays, and they will inevitably be subject to many penalties including confiscating coins, so this person's guess is reasonable.

"Believe it or not, I am preparing to go to the mine in advance anyway. As for what you said, I can't take it lightly."

Lan Quewei once again counted the reserves of mining pickaxes, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that everyone is experiencing the gold rush town for the first time, and there is no experience to draw from. The text description alone is not enough to reflect the real situation in the mine. Although I bought The number of mining pickaxes exceeded the coordinates required, but there are many traps and dead ends in the mines. Failure to get the headlight helmet is an absolute hidden danger. I only hope that there will be a chance to find the remains of some gold diggers on the road, so that I can supplement it. Some mining picks are durable."

"It's really rare for you to be able to face a powerful enemy like this!" fellow players were slightly surprised.

"There is no way. If there is only coin pressure, it is nothing to me. But the problem is that the shadow-eating insects will continue to be refreshed in the mine. The deeper you go, the more frequently the shadow-eating insects will be refreshed. My battle The pressure is getting higher and higher. If you don't have money to buy the [Insect Repellent Torch], you have to bite the bullet. And Ember is good at fighting. His demon incarnation has shown the ability to clear monsters, which few people have so far. Comparable to that.”

Talking about this, Lan Quewei couldn't help but shake his head: "It would be great if I could have more time..."

"This is easy to handle. Can't I just hold him back?"

"Don't do this nonsense! The Sheriff of Gold Rush Town is not a good person. I helped him catch the bandits who sneaked here before, and I happened to see him kill the target with a finger gun. He was ruthless and no nonsense! I appreciate your kindness. Don't let you go. Get in there yourself." Lan Quewei quickly advised him to stop.

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to take action directly, stall for time, ramble casually, and get out in one minute? At this juncture, you don't think that the value of one minute is insignificant, do you?" People have very good reasons.

"Haha, it's up to you. Just don't cause trouble. I think the president still wants to recruit Yan Yan. After all, Jiu Gua currently has the advantage. We shouldn't make too many enemies. When we get to the place, I'll take the first step."

With that said, Lan Quewei parked the speeding car at the entrance of the mine, and took the lead to step into the closed scene with no way back. His companions waited intentionally, but within two or three minutes, they saw an off-road vehicle approaching from a distance.

The rightful owner has arrived!

Ember's multifunctional capsule off-road vehicle is one of his symbols, and he knows a lot of players, so this person was immediately prepared to delay.

He bought the coordinates from the wise man and took the time to give the giant scorpion mount to the giant scorpion clan member. He didn't know that someone had already plotted against him. As soon as he put the off-road vehicle into the capsule, he heard an exaggerated greeting from behind: "Ember! You are Ember, I have seen a living person!"

Hearing this, Yi Yan replied dumbfounded: "With your good words, I should be able to hold on for a while. I dare to ask my brother, how many players have entered the mine?"

Prompt information about players will only appear when they are eliminated, so when Yi Yan saw that there was only one person at the entrance of the mine, he subconsciously thought that many competitors had walked in early, so he hurried to the mine.

"Don't worry! I'm the first one here, and you're the second one. We have a lot of time!" The player pretended to be enthusiastic and greeted him, but in fact he blocked the path of Ember. "It's not easy to see the legendary number one. Player, you must allow me to pay my respects."

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry, I'll talk to you next time."

For this sudden enthusiastic "fan", Yi Yan really had no intention of accepting it. As soon as his footsteps changed, he planned to go around the opponent. The player also knew that Yi Yan wanted to move in a hurry, so he directly used his trump card: "Yu Yan, to be honest, I am a Sanren Senior members of the alliance, our president has always hoped that you can join the guild and work together to fight against Jiu Gua, why don't we take the opportunity to talk about the specific treatment now?"

With the Sanren Alliance's top position in the industry, ordinary players would be shaken if they could get an olive branch from the top management. However, now that they are only focused on seizing the embers of time, they will not care about these external things: "Then please help me, brother." I would like to express my gratitude to the president of your association, but I really don’t have time right now... Why do I think you are planning to block me on purpose?"

Ember, who was eager to move forward while politely declining, suddenly noticed that the player moved again and again, blocking his way, and immediately frowned.

"See what you said? How dare I? Who doesn't know that you, Huan Yan, are the famous number one player?" The player deliberately pretended to be stupid, with a smile on his face, thinking to himself, "As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. You can't hit me, the signboard of our Sanren Alliance is not made of paper!"

"Let's go!"

However, Yi Yan didn't have that much to worry about. He reached out and grabbed the person's shoulder, and then used a backhand move to throw him over his shoulder, violently throwing the player several meters away. He didn't care what happened to the player. He clapped his hands and walked straight into the mine. The entire "negotiation" process probably took less than ten seconds.

"Made, this stupid young man actually takes action as soon as he says it? He doesn't take our Sanren Alliance seriously!"

The stunned player stood up with a grin on his face, but immediately heard a series of lines coming from his side.

"Firstly, never act out of emotion; secondly, never miss a single bad decision; thirdly, absolutely be fair and beautiful in refereeing. The Gold Rush Sheriff is here to see you!"

The gold rush sergeant who suddenly appeared looked around, but could not find the shadow of the ember. He immediately looked at the player with his small focused eyes and asked with a smile: "I heard there was a fight here, why are you the only one left?"

"I heard? There are quite a few uninhabited graves around here. Could it be that you heard what ghosts said?"

The player's eyes widened and he was very puzzled. He remembered the important reminder of grabbing the bird's tail, and became wary of the gold rush sergeant. He quickly waved his hand and said: "Where is the fight? I didn't see it. I just accidentally fell." I fell down, thank you Sheriff for your concern."

"It's good that there was no fight. Please pay attention next time. Although I am relatively free, I can't always show up at the crime scene on time."

Seeing the gold rush sergeant swaying away with his round body, he disappeared after a while. The player, who was forced to knock out his teeth and swallow it, couldn't help but pinch his numb shoulders and said with a sad face: "This ember is too much to use. It's a bit heavy, but his strength is really high enough. Even a person like me, who specializes in strength, doesn't have a chance to resist. I guess I have to talk to the president and find a way to take him under his sect... Take the bird's tail, take it. Quewei, brother, I will give you ten seconds, which is already considered as my all-out effort, and for the rest, you can only ask for your own blessings!"

…

[Tip: If you choose to step into the "mine", you will be given thirty minutes of exploration time. If the time runs out, regardless of whether the mining pick has durability, the trip to "Gold Rush Town (Difficult)" will be forcibly ended. 】

Each player can stay in Gold Rush Town for up to half an hour, but Ember only spent ten minutes at best, rushing to the mine scene due to time pressure, so he didn't get much lost.

The soft glow of the headlamp safety helmet not only illuminated the three-meter-square starting space, but also allowed Yi Yan to clearly see the four "grids" on the left and right. In terms of the range of vision alone, it felt like being in a dark curtain. The only difference is that you need to swing the mining pick every time you advance one "square".

Without further ado, Ember selected the approximate coordinates of the Opera House and started taking action directly. With his strength level of up to 20 points, it only took two seconds to break through the "rock", which invisibly weakened him slightly. With the time advantage of being one step ahead, Lantern Tail, and the broad field of vision brought by the helmet, allowed Yi Yan to easily discover what was behind the "rock", prompting him to decide whether to evade or obtain.

Reinforcement materials? The effect is not good, don’t!

Tier 3 equipment? The quality is a bit low, don’t want it!

Huh! There is actually the body of a gold digger there, good luck!

Seeing the special sign appearing at the edge of his field of vision, Ember chose to change the digging direction without hesitation. The mine is extremely dangerous. Many gold prospectors have died here before, and they usually leave behind some unused mining picks and even various gold mining props.

However, it is basically impossible for the gold diggers who died on the "surface" to master the gold mining props, but adding six points of durability to the mining pick is enough to satisfy him!

Since the original excavation direction was closer to the coordinates of the Opera House, Ember chose to return to its original position, but at this moment, many shadow-eating insects, spiders, ants, mantises and other hideous entities were refreshed in the dark mine tunnel. They swarmed in and rushed towards Ember, but for these monsters, which were generally not very powerful, Ember didn't even have the intention to take action. He summoned the mantis leader and killed them all in a short while.

The strengthening ritual performed by the three insect shaman for the leader of the mantis really helped Ember, at least he didn't need to deal with the initial mobs.

While the battle was still going on, Yan Yan continued to move towards the opera house. It was precisely because of his race against time that the gap between him and Lan Quewei was gradually disappearing. Due to the existence of traps and dead ends, the two people's traveling routes were None of them can stay straight, so whoever can find the best line will earn valuable time and pickaxe durability.

Obviously, Ember has an advantage with a headlamp helmet. He can catch up almost every time he takes a detour. Coupled with the time saved by digging and fighting, and various favorable factors, Ember successfully catches up with Lan midway. During Sparrow Tail's progress, he also happened to encounter a level three Mimic.

No, to be more precise, it was the third-level Mimic Monster who took the initiative to find him!

[Tip: Your rare item "Mimic Disguise Treasure Box" has attracted an abnormal item "Mimic Monster (Copper Skin)". 】

In fact, without any system prompts, Ember discovered that a Mimic was secretly following him. But the problem was that the thing always maintained a high level of vigilance. Whenever Ember tried to get close, it would immediately move away, and then soon after Then he appeared quietly again, hiding behind the rocks next to Ember, maintaining a certain safe distance.

"Hey, what does this thing mean?"

Yi Yan was a little puzzled, so he took out the disguised treasure box. The treasure monster was guided by the breath and couldn't help but get closer, but it still stayed two blocks away. Yi Yan found that this was somewhat effective, so he simply put it on to cool down. The disguised treasure box transformed and successfully lured the opponent out. However, before he suddenly burst into action and killed him on the spot, he received a rather strange system prompt.

[Tip: The abnormal item "Mimic Monster (Copper Skin)" hopes to exchange our respective collections with you. 】

[Tip: "Mimics" have the habit of collecting rare treasures, and occasionally exchange favorite items with similar people. 】

"Waterfalk?"

Yi Yan was stunned for a moment, and then saw the list of the Mimic's collection, and couldn't help but whistle. It was really because the guy in front of him was too rich, and there happened to be a piece of equipment that he urgently needed right now - [Abnormal Equipment] Exchange Voucher (Level 3)].

Considering that there was little chance of getting the exchange coupons directly by taking action, Ember thought about using his IQ advantage. However, who would have thought that the Mimic was extremely smart and far more difficult to deal with than Mad Hatter Jack.

Ember first took out a piece of garbage, and the Mimic shook his head. He then took out a better piece of garbage, and the Mimic continued to shake his head. Seeing this, Ember directly took out the strange piece of garbage that he had obtained from the dead place where the helmet was left. The object [Black Cavalry Heavy Sword] was placed out, and he suddenly found that the Mimic became very restless.

"What a beautiful idea! I also plan to collect it!"

Ember glanced at this whimsical guy and felt that he could no longer waste time here, so he simply gritted his teeth, took out the third-level violent potion dropped by the mute slave, and completed the transaction with the Mimic. This thing was in his backpack The only suitable exchangeable treasure in the game, although it seemed a bit wasteful, to be honest, Ember didn't think there were many BOSSs that could withstand the two rounds of attacks from the devil's incarnation and the pyromaniac.

[Tip: You used the "Level 3 Violent Potion" in exchange for the "Abnormal Equipment Exchange Coupon (Level 3)", and gained a certain favorability from the abnormality item "Mimic". If the favorability is accumulated to a higher level, you will Have the opportunity to exchange for more cherished treasures. 】
