Chapter 443: The Forsaken Realm of Gods (32) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]

Wang Wenhua realized it later and looked at the comments below the video.

Compared with other lukewarm videos of [Xiaochun Talks about Finance], this video received over a hundred comments a few hours after it was released.

However, most of the comments didn’t pay attention to the sensational title of [Xiaochun Says Finance], “n.pc is alive”. The comment with the highest number of likes even explained: [Are there still people playing Breath of Slenkmed? This is not n.pc is alive, this is the account of the producer Lao Zhang. ]

Wang Wenhua was stunned in the elevator for several seconds. When everyone had left and the elevator door was about to close, he suddenly came to his senses and strode out of the elevator.

Most of the comments were things like [What year is today], [My youth is back], [To my surprise, Breath of Slenkmed is pushed to my homepage]. As he walked towards the subway, he looked back at the replies to the top comment.

[Although it is a bit abstract, it seems to be Lao Zhang if you look closely. ]

[Your game reserves items, and when you meet a producer, he treats him as an n.pc. ]

[Old Zhang is approaching forty and has let go of himself. He has awakened the feminine in his heart and finally discovered the beauty of women's clothing. ]

[Don't talk nonsense, it's obvious that not many people play your game anymore, Lao Zhang finally decided to let himself go, but he didn't expect to run into an uploader like this who has nothing better to do than repost videos of outdated games. ]

【My fame is ruined by you standing up, Lao Zhang sat up from the bed in the middle of the night: No, is she sick? 】

[Dressing up as a woman once led to a lifetime of introversion. I can’t even imagine how Lao Zhang feels when he sees this video. 】

[It turns out that Lao Zhang hasn't released a new work for so long because he let himself go in Breath of Slenkmed...]

[No, this is not the reason why there are no new works. Are you sure this is Lao Zhang? ]

[Ah? Isn't this Lao Zhang's account? The Breath of Slenkmed account is bound to an individual, it can't be someone else, right?]

Just as he was about to look down, a message suddenly popped up in a pop-up window on his phone.

[Grudge is heavier than ghosts]: [picture.jpg]

Wang Wenhua frowned and clicked on the message. What [Grudge Heavier Than Ghosts] sent was a screenshot. Coincidentally, this was exactly the follow-up reply that he hadn't had time to read just now.

[Reply: It can't be Lao Zhang. I had contact with Wei Yu for work reasons a few years ago. Out of curiosity, I asked why Breath of Slenkimed didn't have a sequel. The people from Wei Yu told me that Lao Zhang, the producer of Breath of Slenkimed, had a car accident a long time ago and had become a vegetable. The studio was disbanded.]

The message [Grudge is heavier than ghosts] continued to pop up: Enoch is Lao Zhang’s account, Lao Zhang is a vegetable, then who did we meet?

Wang Wenhua was struck by lightning and suddenly stood in front of the subway station gate.

*

The exploration team members who were still on the road at this time did not know that a message about the long-missing producer suddenly appeared under a video that they did not hold much hope for.

"Let's rent a car first," Yun Guang looked at the map, "According to the point he marked, there is a small unloading point not far ahead."

The matter at the Perrin Mine had been temporarily resolved. After everyone came out of the mine, they originally wanted to take the ghost ship directly to the next location, but Yun Guang carefully looked at the map and found that the nearest rest and unloading point was only two hours away from the Perrin Mine.

The vegetation around the Perrin Mine is short trees. The species determines that the trees are destined to not grow tall and the leaves are not lush. If you take the ghost ship, people on the ground can see them from a long distance.

In order not to cause panic and to avoid having to get off the boat and walk a long way, everyone discussed and decided to go to the town under the Perrin Mine to rent two carriages and go directly there.

Since entering this world, everyone has never been so like a group of normal adventurers. After getting on the carriage, even Yun Guang couldn't help but sigh: "This is what a normal adventurer is, right?"

Ride on horseback with like-minded partners to adventure on this continent, complete the commissions of the Adventurer's Guild one after another, and gradually go from obscurity to fame on the continent.

How could one summon a fire dragon to resurrect the undead?

"Yeah," Guan Hongyan twitched her lips, "I always feel like our start is not right."

Generally speaking, according to the normal process of entering the fourth disaster in the online game, shouldn't they, as NPCs, watch the players' fancy moves?

Why are the players watching their fancy moves now?

"It's not a little wrong, it's very wrong," Enoch argued, "Why would a normal adventurer wear rabbit ears?"

"Don't move," Zhao Yinglai pulled his ear, "I paid for it."

As for the five thousand magic stones, the only requirement was that Enoch bring the rabbit ears and travel around the continent with them.

This is a bloody business.

It’s just that the victims of the bloody business don’t think so.

Enoch raised his hand: "As a direct victim of wearing rabbit ears, I demand half of the reward."

"I request to reject this request," White Eth said mercilessly, "The core technology of Grandpa Whitebeard's transformation of the cat girl and bunny girl came from us, and it was not realized through your own subjective will."

They both looked towards Dermis.

Bai Jinshu sat beside the carriage with his arms folded across his chest: "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you come up? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to treat you?"

The carriage is ready. What are these people standing by waiting for? Will the carriage move by itself?

"Oh, here I come," White Moth climbed onto the carriage swiftly, "Let's go, let's go."

"I still think I should...hiss," Enoch muttered as he got on the carriage. He didn't notice that his new rabbit ears were long and tall. He suddenly bumped into the carriage and almost fell off. "Why are these ears so high?"

He got into the caravan and wanted to sit down like the others, but his ears were too high and hit the roof of the caravan. He had to bend over and huddle in the corner.

"If you really can't take it, you can sit on the ground floor," Guan Hongyan got on the bus quickly and pulled Zhaoying, who was behind him, with her hand. "There will be some room left."

The two carriages were just enough space for all of them to sit together. In order to save space, Zhao Yinglai even put away his shadow puppet.

The shadow puppet that looked like a normal human being the previous second turned into a thin piece of paper that was held between her fingers the next second, which made Hector next to her stare in amazement.

"I'll just drive the car," Enoch sat on the ground for a long time, then took off his ear and walked out of the caravan. "I used to drive a caravan when I was an adventurer."

The wagon continued along the road leading out of the Perrin Mine.

"The driver from the Perrin Mine said that these small points are rest stops, which are towns and villages that we pass by on the road," Zhao Yinglai spread out the map and studied the surrounding environment while comparing it with the map. "The larger points are where goods need to be unloaded, just like this village. There is an unloading point every few rest stops on each route. These points are so remote, I don't know what they are for..."

"Don't look at it anymore," Guan Hongyan said in the corner, feeling dizzy. "Don't you get carsick?"

"No," Zhao Yinglai raised his head, "Are you dizzy?"

Bai Jinshu looked in the direction of Guan Hongyan.

Does he remember that Guan Hongyan doesn’t get carsick?

She and Bai Mo both leaned in the corner listlessly, their expressions half dead: "I don't get carsick, but I get carriage sick..."

Compared with modern cars and wide roads, the horse-drawn carriage was too shaky. The road was not very flat, and from time to time there would be potholes or piles of earth that would lift up the wheels of the covered wagon, which made the feeling even more dizzy.

Zhao Yinglai was able to hold up the map and study it in such a shaky environment. His balance ability was simply amazing.

"I now understand why most adventurers prefer to ride horses," Guan Hongyan said, half dead, "If I knew the caravan would shake so much, I would also like to ride a horse."

This is the wisdom of our ancestors.

"Don't even think about it," Bai Jin said slowly, "I can't afford to buy more than a dozen horses with those copper coins."

A covered wagon was much cheaper than a single horse. Not to mention that there was no horse farm that specialized in selling horse carriages in the town below the Perrin Mine, their covered wagons were purchased from locals. Even if there were, two covered wagons only required two horses, which was definitely much cheaper than one horse per person.

"Can't we let Enoch wear a bunny girl outfit again?" Zhao Yinglai argued, "I think if he can wear a belly-baring outfit, his creditors can add another 5,000 magic stones."

Enoch driving:!

This is unfortunate to wear!

"We're almost there!" He shouted into the caravan, "I can already see the shadow of the building!"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the caravan stopped chatting and looked around.

Sure enough, the surrounding trees looked quite different from those around the Perrin Mine.

When setting out from the mine, there are dense trees all around. Although they are all relatively short species, you can see that the surrounding vegetation is growing unusually lush. This may be because the fairy kingdom of Alterac is under the Perrin Mine, so the wood element around the mine is unusually active.

Delmis's original words were: "Alterac is below the Perrin Mine. The wood element is more active the lower it is, so the surrounding vegetation tends to grow low."

If it weren't for the species restriction, these trees would seem to want to grow close to the ground like vines, rather than growing upwards and taller like normal trees, craving for sunlight.

But the farther away from the Perrin Mine, the less active the wood element becomes. Although the vegetation around the road is still lush, the vegetation in the distance is visibly becoming sparser. There are more and more tall trees, and the dense and almost inaccessible forest has become traversable.

Judging from the surrounding vegetation, it can be inferred that this place is a long distance away from the Perrin Mine.

Guan Hongyan and Bai E, who were dizzy from sitting in the caravan, also became a little interested and lay on the edge of the caravan to look outside.

The advantage of medieval caravans over modern cars is that they are not completely enclosed. If you get carsick, you can stick your head outside the caravan and breathe the fresh air.

"Is that the roof?" Guan Hongyan just stuck her head out and saw a brown roof among the trees in the distance. "Is this the place with the wreath on the map?"

"What is this? A village?" White Moth perked up a little. "It doesn't look like a group of buildings."

It looks like there is only one building.

Bai Jinshu looked over and saw that the building the two were talking about was a wooden building that looked to be only about three or four meters high. From the roof, it could be seen that the building was not small, but there were no other building roofs around to prove that this was a complex of buildings.

"Factory? Sentry post?" Zhao Yinglai guessed while putting a hand over his eyes to shade them from the sun. "Since this place is marked as a simple unloading point, it means that some magic sand will be placed here. Could it be an alchemist's solitary hut? Alchemy workshop?"

It all sounds possible.

The caravan continued to move forward for a distance and finally arrived in front of the building.

"What is this?" Guan Hongyan jumped off the car impatiently, breathing in fresh air and looking around. She saw a target erected at the door. "Dermis, you alchemists also put up targets at the door of your studio?"

What is the purpose of this thing?

Tired of making alchemical items in the studio? Why not come out and shoot a few shots at the target?

The barrage couldn't help:

[An alchemist with great martial virtues. 】

[Such a big workshop? I am jealous. It is hard to turn around in my workshop. ]

[Such a large workshop is located in the wilderness. If you were in the wilderness, you could build it as big as you wanted.]

[…That’s right.]

[But my stereotype is that alchemists who live in the wild must be big shots. ]

[Will the boss get tired of making alchemical items every day and then come out to shoot a few bullets at the target? 】

"No," Bai Jinshu glanced at the building in front of him, "This is not an alchemy workshop."

The workshop of an orthodox alchemist requires a large amount of magic and magical items to maintain. Just like modern laboratories require negative pressure and sterile experimental equipment, the alchemist's workshop also requires magic to suppress the activity of elements and then reinforce the workshop's building.

This house is just an ordinary house, not an alchemist's workshop.

"Then what's this?" Zhao Yinglai walked around curiously and pointed to the back, "There's a shooting range behind there."

There are all kinds of targets erected on a large open space. It doesn't look like a proper alchemist's workshop at all, does it?

"Dermis?" Bai Moth looked at Bai Jinshu curiously.

Bai Jinshu shook his head.

He didn't know where this place was, but it had nothing to do with alchemists.

A covered wagon behind also stopped at the door. As soon as the wagon stopped, several people rushed out of the wagon and leaned against a tree to retch.

It seems that the shaking caravan is equally attacking all modern people who have been spoiled by modern cars. Guan Hongyan's eyes showed a trace of gloating. She came over and patted Hector on the back and handed him a piece of paper: "Here."

Hector felt dizzy: "Thank you Yan... Ugh... Thank you Sister Yan... Ugh."

The joy of seeing others suffer outweighed the dizziness of her own motion sickness. Guan Hongyan felt refreshed in an instant and could sit in the caravan for a few more hours.

Just as everyone was guessing what this place was, Enoch observed for a long time and suddenly said, "This should be... the resting place of the Hunter Association?"

"Hunter Association?" Bai Jinshu thought for a moment, "The one in Besai City?"

He remembered that the Hunter Association was one of the four professional locations in Besser City.

"Yes," Enoch nodded and roughly explained, "The Hunter Association has a fixed supply point in the forest, which is a resting point for hunters and adventurers. It is free for hunters in the association, but adventurers have to pay to rest here. This target is the symbol of the Hunter Association's supply point."

"Why does the Hunter Association have a forest supply point?" Yun Guang wondered.

"Don't you know? Because the hunters of the Hunter Association are bounty hunters..." Enoch scratched his head, thinking that there were no hunters among these people, and maybe they really didn't know, so he explained, "The tasks taken by the bounty hunters of the Hunter Association are different from those of adventurers. Most of them make money by hunting some bounty-bearing beasts in the mountains and forests. These supply points are resting points provided by the Hunter Association for hunters. In addition to bounty hunters, adventurers also stay there."

For adventurers traveling across the continent, not every night can be spent in inns in mountain villages or towns. When in the wild, the Hunter Association's supply points are also one of the places that can provide food and lodging.

But the conditions are much worse than those of a regular hotel.

"Strange, why is the midway unloading point of the Perrin Mine the hunter's supply point?" Yun Guang frowned.

Could it be that magic sand is a kind of supply?

This is too outrageous.

Or is this place useful for something other than a supply point?

Everyone looked at each other and decided to go in and take a look.

"Adventurers, huh?" A bearded man sitting at the front desk of the Hunter Association said in a booming voice. He looked at the outfits of the exploration team members and then looked outside. "The caravan is parked over there."

Although there was a registration book on the counter at the front desk, the bearded hunter showed no signs of intending to register, nor did he check the adventurer emblems they placed. He acted as if he didn't care about their true identities and just accepted whatever they said.

The bearded hunter only looked at the adventurers and asked directly: "Are you here to replenish your food or stay overnight?"

"Let's take a break and buy some food," Zhao Yinglai pointed at the few people who were still vomiting outside, "The caravan is too bumpy, they are carsick, and they want to find a place to rest."

"Oh, a new adventurer," the bearded hunter said with a hint of understanding. He stood up and patted her shoulder kindly, saying, "If you are an adventurer, it is better to ride a horse. It is not recommended to ride in a caravan."

"Well... we are relatively poor," Guan Hongyan blinked, "and can only afford a caravan."

Bearded Hunter: "Well... that's true. Good horses are expensive. I can't even afford one."

He muttered something to himself as he wrote something on the register, then closed the register, pushed the stool away and stood up from his seat.

"Come in and have a seat first," he walked in front, pushed open a door, and swept aside the pile of bows and arrows, messy quivers, and bottles and jars on the seats inside the door. He generously took a rag that had not been washed for who knows how long and roughly wiped the empty stool a few times, "Sit here."

"This..." Guan Hongyan, who was at the front, pointed to the tip of the arrow that was still emitting a cold glow beside the seat.

Are these lethal weapons just left lying around here?

"Oh, I don't sell this arrow," the bearded hunter misunderstood her meaning. He took the arrow and the bow that came with it out of the pile of messy items and threw them on the cabinet on the other side. "This belongs to another hunter. I'll keep it here for now."

"If you want to buy it, wait until he comes back to discuss it," he said casually, "if he can come back alive."

"No, no," Xu Zichen waved his hand, "Let's just ask."

"Want some water?" The bearded hunter put away his bow and arrows. He looked around the room, found an old-looking kettle, shook it, and after confirming that there was water in it, he turned back to look at the exploration team members.

"No, thank you." Yun Guang glanced at the kettle with greasy handle and nodded politely, "We just need to rest for a while."

The bearded hunter put down the kettle with regret: "Then you guys take a rest. If you need anything later, come to me. I'll see if there's any food left."

He took them and went out.

"This is too dirty..." As soon as the bearded hunter left, Su Hao couldn't help but whispered, "It feels like this place hasn't been cleaned in ten years."

Not to mention that the ground was covered with all kinds of sand and soil, the surrounding walls were also covered with dust and traces of yellow-brown oil smoke. It seemed that many people had smoked here.

The tables and sofas in the room were piled with all kinds of things, including damaged equipment, various weapons, and bottles and jars of various colors, all piled together in a mess. The place where they were sitting now was dug out from these places by the hunter.

"The Hunter Association's supply point... uh, that's it," Enoch scratched his head, "It's in the wilderness, and no one maintains sanitary conditions."

Those who stay here temporarily are all bounty hunters who are on the edge of death. No one cares about cleanliness and hygiene. Everyone takes a short break here for a few hours and then continues to rush towards the thrilling adventure life or the dangerous bounty hunting, and they don't care about these things at all.

"Even so, this is too dirty." Guan Hongyan wanted to find a place to sit. After hesitating for a long time, she took a small step towards Delmis, "Delmis, you don't want to sit either?"

It's so dirty here, I guess this big guy has nowhere to step.

Delmis glanced at her, and a seat made of bones gradually formed behind her: "Sit."

Guan Hongyan: ...

Delmis: "You want one too?"

"I don't know..." Guan Hongyan twitched her lips, refusing to think about where these bones came from. "I think this sofa is pretty good. Your seat looks uncomfortable."

At least this sofa looks soft.

Of course, since Guan Hongyan couldn't sit down, neither could anyone else.

Everyone stood in the room looking at each other, then took action and began to explore around.

Ten minutes later.

"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there's an alchemist's workshop here?" Xu Zichen said with a sigh, "I've looked around, there's no room with a secret door, and the other rooms are for sleeping."

It is probably provided to people who need accommodation.

If the guests can bear the environment.

"I saw it too," White Moth thought thoughtfully, "That bearded hunter doesn't look like a mage at first glance, but there's no one else here, and there's no sign of other people living here all year round."

This means that there is only this bearded hunter at this supply point.

"No matter how you look at it, this is just an ordinary supply point," Lu Changfeng said sincerely, "I can't find where the magic sand is."

That's strange.

Everyone looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Since there are no conditions for alchemy here, why should the alchemical material magic sand be transported here?

"Could this be just a temporary storage point..." Yun Guang lowered his head in thought, "The route to the Perrin Mine is just a cover, and there are people who actually transport the magic sand to other places to prevent the real destination from being discovered?"

That's also possible.

But if this is the case, as long as the Perrin Mine is not open, their clues will be cut off here.

Everyone frowned.

At this moment, Hector suddenly said: "Hey, on the ground..."

"What's happening on the ground?" Everyone looked over.

"Isn't that thing on the ground magic sand?" Hector pointed to the dusty and sandy ground.

Everyone lowered their heads. Enoch squatted down, picked up a handful of sand and rubbed it, "It seems to be true."

This is magic sand.

"But..." He was silent for a while, "But these have no magic power anymore?"

In other words, although these are the magic sands in the Perrin Mine, the magic inside is gone and it is now just ordinary sand.

"Dermis." Bai Moth quickly looked at Bai Jinshu.

"It's just ordinary sand." Bai Jinshu lowered his head and took a look below. "Dig."

"There must be something down here."
