My summons are weird

Chapter 621 617. Trial [Star Devourer]

During the discussion with Sierra, Lu Yu saw through the key points of this team competition - management difficulty and leadership ability.

If the rules clearly require the entire group to move forward with a certain goal, then the team with a small number of people naturally has little hope, but under the theme of the team competition [Predator], it seems that they must cooperate with each other, but in fact it is still the work of countless individuals. The addition of "one" is not actually a collective.

The loss of interests will not be directly presented to the group, but will first act on the individual.

In the rules, "At the end of the first stage of the trial, those who still have the jade marks in the twelve areas with the largest number of jades will enter the next stage of the trial," and "every 20 jades can recover one The qualifications of the eliminated players, and the number of jade pieces required for each player to recover their qualifications increases with the number of times" echoing each other.

It looks like a group, but the rules exaggerate the individual risk. On the bright side, the means for the group to resist the risk for the individual is to consume more jade and bring it back to the team. Then a very delicate problem is posed on the countertop.

How much is this temporary team willing to pay for a stranger who just met for a night?

Compared with moving around, when there are no special events in the early stage, staying in a group near the mansion is undoubtedly the most beneficial option for each individual. Compared with it, exploring and obtaining external information is undoubtedly very risky, so this temporary group is recommended. , or leaders who appear in other ways must make rules to compensate these people.

With a small number of people, these practical operations are relatively easy, but once the number of people increases, everything is full of variables.

Lu Yu is creating management costs for each leading group by fanning the flames, that is, the conflict between the bottom-level personal interests and the direction of the team's big goals.

For each advance member, although they have received compensation and promises from the leader, once they suffer damage that is difficult to recover in the short term during this trial, it may be disastrous for the subsequent trials, and no one can guarantee the next one. The turntable is still stuck in the team competition, and no one can guarantee that the original promise will not be wiped out after the loss surges.

All of this came to the fore with the second special event that appeared after nightfall.

In the trial special event [Star Dimness], the jade mark in the trial venue will randomly self-destruct as the turntable turns.

One-third of the jade that Lu Yu obtained through fishing was shattered, and Chong Wu and Gail, who stayed behind in the mansion, escaped this random tide by virtue of the "advantage" of only one jade.

"Interesting, really interesting, this is not a simple team game at all, the real big head is 'management' and 'scheduling', how to turn the number of people into a real advantage is something that every leading region must figure out, But it was so difficult in such a short amount of time."

Lulu finally caught up with the train of thought. She could already imagine the scene where the group of unlucky bastards who were ordered to hang out with two or three jade gemstones happened to be marked for self-destruct. Pay for continuation, but what if the volume explodes?

Therefore, Lu Yu rushed to speed up the progress of fishing after the starlight began to dim, and at the same time confiscated all those who had collected a large amount of jade through various channels. The tester's name is self-proclaimed, and his words are full of acrimonious and extremely sarcasm, pushing the map cannon and indiscriminate AOE to the limit.

It should be said that the effect was immediate, and soon Lu Yu and his party saw the pursuit and killing of testers from Gleiny and other areas in many backward areas of Yupu.

"Whether it's in the Glennie area, it doesn't matter, if you hand over all the stars, we won't do anything. Don't ask why you hand in all of them. You asked for it!"

This is a relatively rational faction who does not want to waste too much energy in order to deal with successive events.

"Don't let them go. I want to see what you are so arrogant. Didn't you just happen to participate in a competition area with a lot of people who have advanced? If you don't know, you may think how strong you are."

"Don't you like to rob, all your stars belong to us, and your legs will be broken!"

This is a radical who doesn't care about the future and just wants to vent his anger.

In fact, not only the Glennie region, but the leaders of other leading regions also vaguely felt that someone was secretly pushing for a change in the situation, making the first day that should have been a smooth groping experience extremely chaotic, but they could no longer control the situation.

[Starlight is Dim] They suffered a lot of losses when they were in the leading position. It happened that the entire event did not provide direct data information, so there was no way to know the current results of other regions, and everyone was panicked.

Secondly, after the star bleakness hit, many people were unfortunately eliminated, and most of them were the advance team who went out. According to the previous promise, they had to pay 20 pieces of jade to restore the qualifications of these people to participate in the competition. Everyone who was able to sit on the Diaoyutai became impatient.

Originally trying to reach a non-aggression agreement secretly, the regions that achieved joint promotion tore up the agreement one after another, and fought for Yupu in the wild. It was already difficult for the leaders to dissuade the actions of the people below, so they simply joined in. Only in this way can we continue to slightly To further influence this out-of-control warship, it will not roll over before the promotion.

Lu Yu caught a tester from the Glennie area. He said that Mr. Paleska, who is wise and somewhat prestigious, has been trying to promote an offensive and defensive alliance with the two large areas. Once formed, unless there is An extremely special event, otherwise the promotion must be a certainty.

Sure enough, there are many smart people among the testers who know how to make the most of their leading edge, but... now these ideas have come to naught.

The confrontation between ordinary trialists intensified, and it seemed that Glenn's people were spreading the word that "the stars have special uses, and they are very likely to be exchanged for special items."

Paleska was humiliated in public when he was talking to other regional leaders as "a shameless villain who has one thing in front of each other and one thing behind his back".

Palesca, who came from an extraordinary background, also has his own arrogance, adhering to the "difficult to do, then don't do it" style of doing things, put aside his gentlemanly demeanor, he directly burst into Ser Carlo's foul language, and the meeting broke up unhappy The confrontation between the leading regions intensified, and the actions that were originally suppressed by the leaders became more frequent and turned into chaos.

After nightfall, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is filled everywhere in the trial site, and the fireworks are set off no worse than Lulu, full of the flavor of the New Year.

"Is this all in your plan, teacher?" Herola revealed a look of admiration.

"Basically, what I'm most worried about is that this group of people is really clinging to each other, so that even if special events happen frequently, their lead will most likely be stable, so I will have to work a little harder to lead you to advance." Lu Yu said.

On the way back to the mansion with the harvest of the whole day, Lulu inadvertently sensed a basement hidden in the snow, walking down the stone steps, in this narrow and unfurnished secret room stood a lonely It is a puppet, and its shape is quite similar to the streamer enlightener seen before.

"If you have Yupu, you can trade with me." The puppet said.

"What can be traded?"

"Information, props, whatever."

"If I want to know the specific ranking of the number of jade pieces in each region, can you provide it?"

After a moment of silence, the puppet obviously controlled by a puppeteer behind the secret meeting said: "One hundred pieces of jade."

Papa yelled: "One hundred pieces, your mouth is ten people!"

Lu Yu couldn't help laughing, he thought in a trance that this was discussing RTS games, the word "population" was quite pleasant, but after careful thought, it was indeed the case.

"Information is always expensive. I can tell you that someone has already purchased this information."

"What about the items, including what?" Lu Yu asked.

"Materials for trials, equipment and props that can be used in trials can be carried."

Now Lu Yu understood that the cooperation among the major leading regions fell apart so quickly, maybe it was gradually discovered that this level can also be exchanged for more with "redundancy". Individuals are already ready to move for their own sake.

Why should I hand in jade for tactical needs? Can this bring me more benefits? It's better to exchange it for real income. Anyway, we are already ahead, and there is a high probability that we will not lose.

Once such thoughts appear, it will really be a distraction, and it will be difficult to lead the team.

"One hundred pieces of jade are here, but I need to confirm the statistical time of this information."

The puppet was silent for a while, as if confirming: "The final statistics of the secret meeting will be after the trigger of [Starlight dimming]."

Lu Yu nodded: "Okay, I exchanged it."

The puppet began to broadcast: "First in the order: Granny 2074; second in the order: Delno 1970; third in the order..."

The lengthy broadcast went on for a while, and Lu Yu heard Ge Gelan's name.

"The 21st place in the draft, Gageran has 464 coins, and you are still 996 coins away from the 12th place in the promotion line."

People who know the purchase information only care about the data between themselves and No. 1, so the secret meeting puppeteer directly paused the broadcast, and said instead: "There are a total of 24 regions, and Ge Gelan's performance has improved significantly compared to before. Congratulations on your progress."

Lu Yu was not surprised by this result. The natural gap in the starting line made their pursuit very difficult, and the tactics adopted by other leading regions on the first day also made it impossible for them to quickly obtain jade. It is very gratifying to not be the last one .

Lu Yu, who got the result, was about to leave. Suddenly, he turned his head: "It seems that there are no rules restricting me to take you away."

"..."

"..."

Seeing Lu Yu come back with a doll, Chong Wu and Gail who stayed at home stared wide-eyed. After some explanations, they immediately moved the doll to the basement.

After enjoying dinner, the three of them fell asleep, and other areas can take turns to dispatch, but they can't... In fact, Papa and Herola can't, the trinity of coal balls can completely do one person to work and two to sleep, not just Sierra, even Lu Yu also felt more and more that the briquette potion is really a good thing.

Why can't Lulu reproduce such a good thing in a stable way, is it the product of a failed experiment? Weird thing.

"Announcement, announcement, announcement!"

"Sudden event, lucky star falls."

The briquettes that had just taken a nap suddenly opened their eyes, and a bright trajectory in the sky slid down towards the forests not far away. The dazzling tail flame, and the fireballs that kept splitting and scattered around, even though they knew it was just a fake meteorite , and people can't help but want to give a thumbs up to this group of puppeteers. They are indeed like a dedicated game maker, achieving a balance between visual effects and details.

"The first person who triggers the main star of the lucky star will add 500 jade pieces to his area, and the fragments will provide 20 jade pieces, and the jade pieces will be counted outside the field, will not be captured, and will not self-destruct .”

"At the same time, the main star of the lucky star will turn the wheel of fate after being triggered."

Papa visually measured the falling distance, and sighed: "It's useless to rush there now, why doesn't this kind of good star for giving points fall on our faces?"

Lucky Boy regretted that Lucky Star didn't hit him on the head.

Chong Wu stretched out his mouse tail in front of Papa and shook it: "It's okay, Senior Bass is very good, isn't he? I didn't expect that so soon, we will not be at the bottom, and we will definitely be able to advance."

The puppet waiter was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke again.

"The Lucky Star has been acquired by the Delno area, and the turntable of fate has begun..."

"The trial [Star Devourer] is about to begin, please pay attention to all regions, the trial of [Star Devourer] is about to begin."

There was no explanation for the trial, and all the servants fell silent at the same time.

In the bright moonlight, a secret puppeteer dressed in red descended from the sky with a puppet about two meters high and covered in black cloth.

On such a scale, everyone sensed that something was wrong.

The leader of the secret meeting in red was an old man with white hair. He coughed and read out the rules of the trial that he had not explained to the servants.

"The Trial of the Star Devourer will randomly select a person in each region's mansion area to accept the [Star Devourer] challenge. If you succeed in the challenge, you will get 300 pieces of off-site computing jade."

The secret meeting red clothes took off the black cloth covering the puppet. Under the moonlight, its black, rough hair reflected the cold light, and there was a strong smell of blood all over its body.

"It's nice to meet you, Lu Yu, who is promoted from Gagran Field, I don't think you should be unfamiliar with it. It is exactly what you opened in the box of destiny, and eliminated countless Gagran trialists. Doll [Silent Pilgrim]."

"He in Gagran Field has received restraint orders that elimination is greater than damage, and killing is not allowed, but this time... the Star Devourer Trial, it will be fully launched." The red dress reminded the secret meeting, "You have been selected The surrender of the survivors is still in effect, and that is the only good news."

Lu Yu asked: "What is the price of failure in the challenge?"

The corners of the red-clothed old man's mouth rose: "The star devourer, as the name suggests, will swallow half of the total number of jades in the area. Those who fight against it will be eliminated directly, and the cost of restoring their qualifications will be even higher."

"Is there a rule that can pay any price to become its designated challenger?" Lu Yu tried to find an entry point.

"Sorry, no."

The old man in red put his hand on the Silent Pilgrim's back, the flow of magic power made its dark eyes begin to glow, and a terrifying ferocity gushed out from its body, it was like a weapon stained with blood. , Just waking up is enough to make people daunting.

"Now, the roll call begins."

Star Devourer slowly turned his head, and his murderous gaze fell on...

"Herola the Trialist, please get ready, the Star Devourer has issued a challenge to you."

Herola looked at the giant forbidden demon beast that she needed to look up to in front of her, and swallowed heavily.
