Chapter 311: Monster Nest Island

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Zhiyan saw the demon sculptures huddled on both sides.

"Hey? Why did you two change positions?"

He wondered aloud, looking back and forth.

The sculpture is made of stone, and the range of its movement was not large each time before. But this time, after just a short while, it actually hugged its knees and huddled on both sides, looking unusually well-behaved.

“Does this action have any special religious meaning?”

Xu Zhiyan muttered as he walked to the platform, and as expected, he discovered that the apple was gone.

After shouting a few times, the priest still did not appear. He pushed the roasted rabbit, plate and fork together into the barrier with ease and waved at the curled up demon statue.

"Thank you for helping to pass on this message. This was baked by my teammate. It's delicious!"

After giving the familiar instructions, he pointed at the church door and added: "The human outside is my teammate. From now on, we are all family."

Perfect! This way, even if the Jianghuai Partridge strays into the sliced territory, it won’t be killed.

The slice was coaxed, and the identity of his teammates was also clear. Xu Zhiyan was in a very good mood. He swaggered out of the church without noticing that the demon statues on both sides were almost shrinking into the ground.

When he came out, he saw his teammates packing up their things.

Maybe it was because Xu Zhiyan usually said too many inappropriate things, so Jiang Huaiqiao didn't take his "new mistress" remarks seriously and just thought he was just talking nonsense.

The owner of the monster nest needs offerings.

There is nothing wrong with giving food.

"Huh? Why didn't you prepare more food?"

Xu Zhiyan was a little confused.

According to his idea, now that night has fallen, they need to go to the island and kill monsters to earn points.

Jiang Huaique and Xiao Cuigu were cleaning up the fire, and he sighed and gestured to Xu Zhiyan to find a safe place to talk.

The solemn expressions of his teammates made Xu Zhiyan unconsciously nervous.

I always feel like something bad is happening.

But before the two of them had finished cleaning up, they stopped what they were doing at the same time.

The air temperature suddenly dropped.

"Let's go inside the church first." Xu Zhiyan said.

Jiang Huaique nodded and frowned as he held the cloth handed to him by Xiaokuigu.

Unlike the unbearable high temperatures during the day, the temperature dropped rapidly shortly after nightfall. The two people wearing short sleeves felt the biting cold before they had even packed up their things.

Xu Zhi turned his head to look at the leaves covered with white frost and cursed in a low voice.

"The dog system is really not human."

Not being able to use supplies increases the difficulty of the dungeon.

Because of the timing of the release, most of the players were lightly dressed. Now that the temperature has changed, it means that the players need to maintain their body temperature while having enough food.

Jiang Huaiqie nodded, tapped his panel a few times and said, "I caught a monster when I came here, and the prompt appeared after I killed the monster."

[Congratulations to the player for opening the monster scoreboard. ]

[Number of monsters killed: 1]

[Score: 1 point]

[Note: Monsters of different strengths will earn you different points after being killed.]

[Tip: Monsters in hot zones are small and weak in attack, good at hiding and difficult to find. You will get points [1-3] after killing them; monsters in cold zones are large and strong in attack, you will get points [30-100] after killing them]

Jiang Huai Que smacked his lips, looking displeased.

"Before, I was wondering what cold and hot areas mean..."

What the hell, it turns out to be the temperature during the day and at night?

The two quickened their pace and walked towards the church.

Xiao Ke Gu came in first and had moved the long bench away and put two rabbit skin beds together, which looked very warm.

Seeing that everything had been prepared so thoroughly, Jiang Huaique scratched his hair and told them everything that happened to him when he encountered Cen Jinyue and the clown during the day.

The air condensed.

Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a second, but he immediately grasped the point.

"In other words, we only received a reward of 100,000 points, but you produced a weapon worth 210,000 points?!"

He stood up suddenly, and his voice instantly rose.

"...Wait, although this is indeed a problem, Cen Jinyue's murder is more serious than losing money!"

Jiang Huai'er's rebuttal seemed a little pale at this moment.

I don’t know why, but after the whole story was told, it seems reasonable that the only thing the unlucky teammate heard was the consumption of weapons?

Looking at his teammates who seemed somewhat guilty, Xu Zhiyan's eyes, which usually always squinted with a smile, now widened completely. The heartache in his eyes seemed to overflow, as if he had lost millions.

"Not only are we not making any profit, but we're also losing money?!" He was almost about to slap the words 'loss-making good' on Jiang Huaique's face.

"It's not that the price is 30,000. The item is really priced at 30,000. Scarcity makes things valuable. This item is not on sale yet. Except for me, a super SVIP and special customer who regularly consumes in the safe house, no one else can buy it!"

Xu Zhiyan looked heartbroken.

According to him, the price of each arrow would at least double.

In the live broadcast room, the audience laughed like crazy.

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Xiao Baiwan's face turned black. 】

[After all, we, Xiao Baiwan, have been in the game for such a long time and have never made a loss-making deal, hahaha. ]

[Yes, hahahaha, Jiang's mother also had an expression that said "as expected".]

[Little Millionaire: I can give up my life, but I can’t lose money! ]

【I laughed to death, hahahaha. 】

However, there is another part of the audience who has a different focus. They care more about the channels for obtaining these powerful weapons.

[Ahhh, it's expensive, but I really want it. ]

Yes, yes!

[Help! So Xiao Baiwan spent 10 million to buy Xu Xiaohua in order to get the super SVIP of the safe house? ]

[Shit! That's very possible!]

[Not to mention anything else, the fact that the Hidden Mist Arrow is not controlled by gravity is enough to make people excited! ]

[Although I think this arrow may not be able to exert such great power in my hands like Jiang Mama's, but the bow is only 210,000 yuan, I would be a fool not to buy it! ]

[@Safehouse, please, when will the external sales mode be opened? ]

【I! Really! Need! It!】

First, Jiang Huai Que gave a superb demonstration, in which he used a special combination of arrows to rescue a person from the Moon Goddess, who was ranked fifth on the points list. Then, Xu Zhiyan told the difficulty of obtaining the person, with a look of grief and anger on his face, which completely pushed the new mysterious weapon of the safe house to a climax.

As for the price that was despised at the beginning...

If you think about it this way, if you can buy the goods at the original price, it seems like you are getting a great deal!

The audience came back to their senses.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room became even more lively.

Xu Zhiyan was still chattering, shaking his head and sighing, holding his chest as if he was about to faint, holding two arrows in his hands, the same two types that Jiang Huaique had used.

"Did you not read the detailed instructions before using it? Do you know how powerful this thing is? In that case, one is enough!"

Pointing at the Hidden Mist Arrow, his face was full of regret.

"The arrow body is made of titanium thunder alloy, which is perfectly suited for the Thunder Longbow. As long as the user's physical fitness is in place, the shooting speed of a single arrow can be increased to the limit."

"The 'fog' you see is not actually fog. It is a kind of biotechnology. The eggs of the hidden fog insects are placed inside the arrow. When detonated, the high temperature will instantly hatch the eggs. They are void creatures, so they are not affected by any gravity, wind or other forces..."

Although his expression remained the same, Xu Zhiyan had easily switched to sales mode.

Different from Xiao C who sells products in a stiff and straightforward manner.

He spoke sincerely and described things in a very grand way.

Little Keibous stood aside and nodded continuously.

The high-end weapons of the safe house were developed a month ago. At that time, it didn't understand why its owner didn't release them and set such a high price...

Well, those void creatures are not rare species for the safe house, there are as many of them as you want.

Jiang Huai Que was completely confused by the scolding.

Biotechnology! ?

Is this... so rare?

He certainly didn't read the notes in detail, but he shot five arrows at once because he saw that there were three hundred of each type of arrows stored in the guild warehouse.

If the price of each arrow ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 points, the 300 Hidden Mist Arrows alone would be worth 9 million points!

Damn, what on earth did his teammates do? Did they save the life of the owner of the safe house?

But considering that these arrows cost at least twice as much, even Jiang Huaique couldn't help but feel heartbroken. However, the situation was urgent at the time, and if it happened again, he would definitely choose the safest method again.

Xu Zhiyan went on and on introducing several other types of arrows. Without exception, all of them were products of high-end technology.

But as if he thought of something, Jiang Huaique frowned and asked again.

"Are you going to sell all these arrows and thunder?"

I have to say that the Thunder Longbow is indeed very powerful. If you can use arrows at will, then its power is on par with 2S-level weapons. It has no disadvantages except that it is expensive.

Although it was only used once, even Jiang Huai Que couldn't help but love the longbow, and he subconsciously excused the weapon.

Being expensive is not a disadvantage of the weapon.

Being poor is his shortcoming...

But he asked this not because he was greedy for weapons.

Jiang Huaique knew very well that even if he could afford a bow, he couldn't afford such expensive arrows. Even the most basic thunder titanium alloy arrows cost 10,000 points each. This was no different from throwing money in the opponent's face in a battle.

He was more worried that someone would use it to deal with Xu Zhiyan later.

As someone who has personally tried the longbow, no one knows the power of this weapon better than Jiang Huai Que.

Xu Zhiyan understood the implication of his teammates' words.

He talked until his mouth was dry. He finished his tea and motioned to Xiaokuigu to pour another cup. When he turned to his teammates again, his tone was much softer.

"Don't worry about me. I have been promoted to a special customer. My monthly spending in the safe house is no less than 10 million points. I have special privileges."

As he said that, he took out the Thundering Longbow and threw it to Jiang Huai Que.

"You can try to shoot me an arrow, or even pose for me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huaique drew his bow with doubt, and before he even put the arrow on it, he heard Xiao C's alarm sound coming from the arrow.

"It is detected that you are aiming at the special customer of the safe house (the only one in the whole game), and the 100% miss rate has been automatically triggered. Please think twice."

Jiang Huai Que stood there stupidly.

Xu Zhiyan took the teacup with an indifferent look on his face and said calmly: "But I am the only one in the entire game who has this privilege, so it won't affect their sales."

What a joke! How could he allow someone to use the advanced weapons developed by the safe house to attack him?

As for the heartache just now...Xu Zhiyan was just pretending.

The bulk of the research and development in the technology tree is the energy supplied in the early stages, as well as a variety of designs. When it comes to the stage of mass production of finished products, the costs are just a drop in the bucket.

The Thundering Longbow is not considered a hot weapon.

In order to perfectly retain the power of lightning characteristics and maximize the speed, the longbow only added some basic hidden storage and other simple functions, which places high demands on the operator himself.

The price is very expensive no matter how you look at it, but now is the period of special missions. Even if the major guilds are designated to enter by the Utopia, there is a high probability that the wealthy players at the top will remain on the sidelines and just send some cannon fodder, just like Tang Run and Mu Feng.

If they knew that the safe house could sell powerful weapons, and that these weapons could even surprise the big guys at the top of the list...

If he doesn’t sell out, he’s not named Xu!

In fact, Xu Zhiyan had prepared so many in the guild warehouse. His original plan was to let Jiang Huaique take action and put out the advertisement when he encountered a strong opponent.

He really didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

I’m afraid that the audience in the live broadcast room are all rushing to buy it now?

Thinking in his heart, Xu Zhiyan threw the remaining arrows in his hand into Jiang Huai's arms: "I give them to you. The arrows in the warehouse also belong to you."

Seeing that Jiang Huaique was so frightened by the sudden surprise that he couldn't speak, with his mouth open as if he was stupid, he leaned forward and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Advertising endorsement fee, this is what you deserve."

Jiang Huai Que hasn't recovered from the shock yet.

After hearing what his teammates said, how could he not understand!

Xu Zhiyan blinked, and considering that it was a live broadcast, he spread his hands and talked to the air.

"I only bought one bow, but I also bought a lot of arrows to swipe my order. If you buy from me during the pre-sale period, I will only charge a handling fee of 1,000 points for each arrow."

"When we ship in bulk later, I'll sell them at full price, and give away two for every 100 you buy."

"If you need anything, please leave me a message."

The barrage of comments has started to flood the screen in the live broadcast room.

[Boss Xu! Boss Xu, if I purchase more than 100 units during the pre-sale period, can I still pay the original price? ]

[Fuck, how much is a small millionaire worth? ]

[55555 I envy male mothers so much. I also want someone to give me weapons. ]

[No, I envy Xiao Baiwan more...]

Xu Zhiyan finished a wave of selling products and felt refreshed. He finally had the mind to talk about Cen Jinyue's affairs.

"So what you mean is that we should just give up this reward..."

It's a very reasonable plan.

There is no doubt that the Moon Goddess is powerful, but rushing in to confront her head-on is not a good idea. Businessmen naturally seek profit and avoid harm. Xu Zhiyan thinks that his teammates must have made this choice after careful consideration.

Jiang Huaique also came back to his senses from the shock just now.

"...Hey, hey, so Cen Jinyue is not as important as you selling weapons, right?" He muttered a few words, but because he had just received the weapons, he didn't want to be too harsh for the moment.

“I just thought it was the right thing to do.”

There was no emotion in his tone.

If he was the only one in the copy, Jiang Huaique would definitely not choose to hide in the corner, but he is no longer the person with only hatred in his eyes.

Jiang Huaique tightened his grip on the longbow and said nothing more.

He will not overestimate his own capabilities. He is no longer young and passionate. He believes that as long as he has faith, he can win everything. He has to protect his teammates.

Xu Zhiyan also nodded.

He had no grudge against Cen Jinyue. Although Jiang Huaiqiao didn't say anything, from the tone of his voice, he knew that the other party was not the murderer of his sister.

"I agree with this plan, but I think it's a waste for only two of us to sleep in such a big place."

Pointing to the rows of open space around him, Xu Zhiyan was very generous.

"We are in a church, so how can we not do some charity? We will make a detailed plan later and go find some players to live with us."

He counted on his fingers with a big smile on his face.

"We'll provide soft rabbit-skin beds and delicious food. Isn't it too much to pay for such a perfect place?"

Even if he doesn't compete for rewards, he has to make some money!

Jiang Huai Que pondered for a moment.

It is difficult to evaluate this church. There are no decent statues, only two stone demons curled up and shivering on both sides of the platform. Is this really a church?

He could already imagine the players hiding in the church, and Cen Jinyue running all over the island but couldn't find anyone...

While the two were discussing, there was a sudden noise outside the church.

After looking at each other, Xu Zhiyan took the lead and walked towards the door.

However, just as he opened the door and stepped out, a faint barrier lit up, blocking him inside.

The game box popped up.

[It is detected that the range of the monster nest where the player is located has expanded. Please be careful. 】

Xu Zhiyan raised his head and looked at the open space outside the church, and instantly understood how far the priest's strange nest had expanded.

The sudden cold weather caused frost on all the leaves around, but the ground and plants within the town seemed unaffected and remained the same as before.

The town was clearly not like this when they were having dinner before. Xu Zhiyan was shocked to find that he had not noticed any unusual changes.

No wonder the temperature inside the church didn't change.

At the edge of town, driven by the cold, two players with frosted hair couldn't wait to get in.

"No, you guys——"

Xu Zhiyan subconsciously wanted to call a halt, but the two were already shivering with cold, so they didn't care and just stepped into the area.

The moment the two people came into range, his eyes lost focus.

They took two steps forward stiffly as if they were being controlled. A few feathers floated down from the sky inexplicably, and in the trembling air, the figure of the long-awaited owner of the monster nest appeared.

From Xu Zhiyan's perspective, he could only see a huge back covered with black feathers. Compared to the huge engraved demon horns curled on both sides, the black wings on its back were more dazzling, making people unable to take their eyes away.

It's strange that the other party only has one wing.

I don't know where the missing one went.

When Xu Zhiyan saw this monster that looked like a sliced monster standing in front of the two players, he took a deep breath and spoke subconsciously.

"Are you going to kill them?"

Come on, these are all his clients!

The one-winged demon shook its feathers, bent down and did something, then the black feathers fluttered in the air and its back disappeared.

Xu Zhiyan stood in front of the open door in a daze.

A few minutes later, there was a rustling sound behind him. Jiang Huaique, who had been on guard, went to check, and his expression turned into confusion.

"What's this……"

Several props appeared where canned luncheon meat was stored today.

"Why are there props here?"

His expression could no longer be described as shocked.

Players arrived, normal.

Monsters appear, normal.

It's abnormal that items drop inexplicably!

Xu Zhiyan walked over hesitantly and picked up the props on the ground, which included a dagger prop, a defensive necklace... and a small space bag, which was filled with products from the island.

Obviously, these things were taken from the players at the door by the demon priest.

At the bottom, he also picked up a note.

[Come to me alone, I have more.]

The familiar handwriting was exactly the same as that of ghosts and gods. Xu Zhiyan had no idea who wrote it.

He was both angry and amused.

Is it because Jiang Huaiqie is here that the emotional priest disappears and does not appear?
