Chapter 408 Chapter 405 "The Eighth World"

  [Dungeon opening time, eleventh day, eight in the morning]

   Exiting from the night copy, Su Mingan opened his eyes.

  The heavy snow in Praia had stopped after the feast at sea. He turned his head, and a light mist of water was sticking outside the window.

   On his wrist, the same noisy voice sounded:

   "Good afternoon, master! It's 8:10 a.m. system time, A Du will broadcast a relaxing and soothing wake-up music for you..."

   The sound of the watch is not an inorganic system sound, but a female voice with a bit of a royal sister, often making the barrage shout "I can".

   But this is too mentally retarded built-in communication, it is really hard to face it.

With a sound of    "Boom!", Su Mingan turned his wrist slightly, turned the side with the watch face outward, and smashed his left hand against the white wall beside him.

   With a crisp crashing sound, the house seemed to tremble a little.

   The watch that was playing the colorful sunshine radio gymnastics stopped for a moment, and the room was finally quiet.

  Su Mingan retracted his hand and saw that the dial of the watch was not cracked. The quality of this thing is really quite good, and the hardness has passed the test. Maybe it can be used as a hard object for long-range attacks in the future.

   He sat on the bed and began to think about the progress of the dungeon.

   In the process of each dungeon, he has gradually developed the habit of organizing the plot line early in the morning. He will look down on the problem from the known overall situation, in case there are important clues that he ignores.

  In yesterday's night copy, he inevitably launched the disastrous Siren siege with his own hands.

The    dungeon didn't give him the chance to choose at all, it just let him watch everything the "Demon King" did. If he didn't choose, the things that had happened would not change, and even he would lose the qualification of the game because of the failure of the level.

   Just now, when the night dungeon was nearing the end, he had built the entire Demon King City and collected all the soldiers.

The figure of the    brave man has gradually appeared on the magma-like crimson land, revealing a dark shadow. Probably in the last level tonight, he will have a final duel with the opponent.

   He didn't know if this would be a "I kill myself" showdown, and how to resolve the contradictions.

   After finishing the plot line of the underworld, he came to the hillside near the southern district and, as agreed, learned marksmanship from Nairo.

   The red-haired girl was standing in a foggy meadow.

   At this time, the snow on the ground has not yet melted, and it is still a white flat ground.

   Not far away, there are tall buildings and bell towers erected one after another. Even if the Church of Light exists in name only, the priests who do not know the situation at the top are still praying.

  The damaged city wall is being repaired at the wharf in the South District. People spontaneously carry bricks and cloth bags, and walk in the streets and alleys crisscrossed by the river. The refugees and surviving people returned home, and warm air slowly flowed out of the house.

  This land, after the disaster, has ushered in life as people hoped.

"Ding-"

   A breeze passed by, and the necklace on the neck made a crisp sound, and the sound of the double-sided metal clip holding the photo was very clear.

  Su Mingan hesitated for a moment, then put the necklace into the grid of his backpack.

   The equipment that makes noises is not safe in battle, he will keep it as a collectible.

   He will remember that knight, no matter how many copies he goes through after that.

   He will see more of the world on his behalf.

"What's wrong?"

   Naraku, who was holding a soul shotgun, turned to look at him.

   The "training guns" in her hands and in Su Ming'an's hands are products of Soul Hunting. This kind of gun has not been recognized by the system, it is not considered a mission reward, and cannot be taken out of the copy, but it can be used for training in non-combat state.

   "It's alright, I got a necklace." Su Ming'an said, "Excuse me, please continue to teach me."

  Although Naraku looks like a young lady, she is surprisingly reliable when it comes to teaching people. He is also not squeamish at all, even though he is still injured, he has no intention of resting at all.

"Come on, listen to me, tighten your wrists and let your shoulders bear the recoil force..." Nai Luo put his hand on his arm, correcting his slightly shifted movements: "I know your physique is good, and you are not afraid of breaking your hand, but It’s time to save effort, otherwise you’ll be very tired after shooting your wrist. I’ve seen a lot of idiots in my house who injured their hands because of shooting…”

   Listening to her words, Su Mingan changed her somewhat irregular posture.

   He actually learned marksmanship and shooting postures at the World Forum, and practiced them carefully. After all, guns are also one of his fighting methods, although they are not often used.

   But whether he is using a sword or a gun, he is basically a one-hit kill against the enemy, and he will also spend points to buy bullets with a gun, so, except to intercept some important targets to escape, he basically does not use a gun.

  But what Naraku taught him was not physical skills. After teaching the basic gun posture, the content of her words gradually became metaphysical.

   She said, to communicate with the gun in your hand.

   She said that the gun in her hand is spiritual, and only a person with a calm and peaceful mind can accurately hit his target.

...Su Ming'an has seen in the World Forum, in the strategy thread, someone said "to communicate with your own weapons", like the swordsmen in Xianxia novels, they preached "The sword is the man, the sword destroys the man!", "Put your whole heart into it!"

   But apart from feeling that what these people said was very metaphysical, he really couldn't understand this feeling.

   Even if he practiced intentionally, he could not perceive this "weapon spirituality" as they called it.

   In his personal space, he even put the Sword of Yarman on his lap and muttered to himself like a fool, trying to chat with the Sword of Yarman to make it "spiritual" with himself.

   But obviously, this behavior doesn't help other than make him look stupid.

   But now, under Naraku's teaching, he gradually realized this feeling.

  Obviously, when he was holding the training gun in his hand, he had a vague feeling that when he looked in a certain direction in his field of vision, the gun in his hand would be easier to hit.

   This is the importance of teaching NPCs. TA will help you to improve your skills directly without paying attention to player perception.

  Unless there is an NPC with high-level specialization skills who can teach them by hand, or simply rely on a few words on the forum to comprehend, it is difficult for players to break through the original rut and improve their specialization skills only by language.

  Su Mingan knew that he was just an ordinary student, not a particularly smart person. He couldn't make breakthroughs "in a flash", and he couldn't develop any unique gun-handling skills on his own like a fantasy novel.

  Under Naraku's teaching, he saw a clear improvement in his stats.

   "Ding dong!"

  【Firearm Specialization has been upgraded to lv.2! 】

  …

   "—So you're here, first player."

  While fiddling with the training gun in his hand, he heard footsteps coming from the side of the hill.

  He looked up and saw a team of elite players approaching, their armor was engraved with a pattern of yellow roses, and the leader was Luna.

She still looks heroic, with long hair flying behind her. The previous battle on the Bridge of Life did not make her flinch. Even the scars left by the siren were deliberately left on her face, she seemed to Is to want to use it as a mark of honor.

  The perseverance of this northern woman is not weaker than that of men, and her steps are as steady and firm as a soldier.

   "Anything with me?" Su Mingan stopped practicing.

"This is... an NPC who has mastered gun skills? I'm really envious, this kind of NPC is rare." Luna glanced at Naraku who was froze on the side: "It looks different from the knight who awakened himself, I don't understand Are we talking?"

   "..." Su Ming'an did not speak.

   "Sorry, I'm talking too much." Seeing that Su Mingan's expression was wrong, Luna immediately apologized with a very crisp tone.

"What's up?"

   "Do you think this kind of life is good? The number one player." That's what Luna said when she came up.

  Su Mingan originally thought she was here to talk about cooperation, but it seemed that she was here to talk about philosophy.

   Before he could speak, Luna took the lead and said:

"Your actions will be watched by a billion people, and any mistake will be scolded by hundreds of millions of people. Once you do something that doesn't conform to their three views, they will try to criticize you and put their demands on you. Forced on you... You see, just like the previous maritime war, the face of the villain watching the battle under the city wall, how disgusting..."

   "Luna." Su Ming'an said, "I'm streaming live."

"Yes, so what." Luna said: "I never bother to hide my thoughts. If they scold, then scold. The more famous people are, the more ordinary people will scold. The most disgusting thing is, scold you It doesn't mean that all the bad people are bad people, good people will scold people, good people will scold people... We can't even beat them to death..."

  Su Mingan raised his eyebrows.

   He felt that people like Luna were at least not stupid, and she would not provoke public opinion struggles in front of the live broadcast for no reason.

   When she said this, what she wanted to express should be…

   He turned off the live broadcast.

   "You want to ally with me in the next world?" he said.

   Luna had a smile on her face.

"I know you'll understand what I mean, No. 1 player." She stretched out her hand: "I've already paid the price in face, and now, those people must be crazily criticizing me. In this way, have you already Don't worry, after I formed an alliance with you, I used you to create a public opinion advantage for myself?"

  Su Mingan did not reach out, this was his habit. In order to prevent any special covenant that is formed by shaking hands, he will not shake hands with other players easily.

  Luna naturally withdrew her hand, not caring at all.

   "The eighth world, it can be preliminarily judged, is a world where the top 100 players compete at their peak." Luna said.

   "Sure enough, the members are the top 100 players?"

  Su Ming'an knew that there was not only one player with a special status, but the "one in power" had the highest status. It can be seen that other players with special status have also gained a lot of benefits, and they have already known such information even before the seventh world is over.

   "After a preliminary analysis, the eighth world should be similar to the fourth world. It is a short competitive dungeon, focusing on players' competitive battles and lightening the plot of the dungeon." Luna said: "In this way, it is also more fair."

   "A copy of battle?" Su Ming'an said: "We attach importance to rules, communication, mutual assistance, and competition. In this way... it should be similar to a board game."

"Yes. We guess that the rules of the eighth world are likely to be closer to board games." Luna said: "Space Killing, Box Girl, Quest Scripts, Ghost Hunting Games... Although the rules will inevitably change, the core It should be the same, these games are possible. So, as one of the top 100 players, I want to find a reliable teammate."

   "Hundreds of people compete against each other, everyone is each other's enemies." Su Mingan said.

"Not necessarily." Luna said: "Player number one, I'm not greedy to tie you to my chariot. I face up to my position. Although our first meeting was not pleasant, in these days of battle, I think I have initially demonstrated my value. If my value can be initially recognized by you, I hope that in the eighth world, at least we will not become enemies. If we can go further... I hope that when necessary, we can be able to each other help."

  Luna's words were straightforward and comfortable to listen to.

   She clearly showed her own value, did not play those twists and turns, and did not try to tempt the other party with her charm and words. Instead, he was discussing cooperation with Su Ming'an in a businessman's manner.

   Moreover, she is not greedy at all.

   After scolding the audience and showing her sincerity, she decisively gave Su Mingan intelligence and information, and requested the most basic and measured cooperation.

   A smart person like Luna is much more comfortable to chat with than the lunatic Mizushima Kawaharu on the werewolf killing table. This is a normal person who has a brain and can communicate.

   And, the content of the eighth world in her mouth...a short copy of the board game style...

   With all the calculations, it is only about five days before the start of the eighth world.

   After the end of the seventh world, during these few days of rest, he should understand the rules of some board games, as well as collect information on other top 100 players.

   At least, he can't really go to New Year's Day, go shopping, take a hot spring in those days as Noel suggested a few days ago... This is really too relaxing.

   Although he knew that in those few days, the world of the Lord God would be very lively. Especially on December 31st, he has already heard that those guys who are jumping up and down in the super talk are ready to contract a server and give him a national carnival-style birthday...

   These people are really exaggerated.

   "I agree to cooperate with you on the most basic level." Su Ming'an said: "Unless necessary conditions, I will not shoot at you."

   "Thank you for your trust." Luna nodded: "Then... I wish you a happy nineteenth birthday in advance, the first player... Ashamed, even if I am more than ten years older than you, I am far from you."

   Her eyes stayed on Naraku for a moment, then turned and left.
