Chapter 218 Pre-War Preparation

"...Gather around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The battlefield activity starts at 12 o'clock, but we have to be teleported there in advance at 11:30! Let's notify each other! I have posted an announcement in the group, but in case someone didn't see it, please notify each other among your relatives and friends. When the time comes, I will gather a large group and tell you the gathering place!"

As soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Ergou's voice, amplified by spiritual power, came over. Shen Yun couldn't help rubbing his ears hard after hearing the loud voice. He found Bai Chenxue who was waving at him, leaned over, and whispered in her ear: "Hey, didn't they say that there would be no teleportation array in this battlefield activity?"

Bai Chenxue explained: "So Ergou hired an NPC to help drive the boat. It is said that he plans to set up a teleportation array on the boat, and then drive the boat to the vicinity of Ziwei Sect. When we are resurrected, we can be teleported directly there! We don't have to run away!"

"Hey? What about the other players?"

"Just use it too! No charge, just let them use it! But we will definitely give priority to people from our community, they can use it after we are all there!"

Shen Yun asked again, "Won't there be a lot of people? Didn't they say that there were 2,000 new players? I just saw that there were a lot of people outside! If we can pull enough energy in these few days, we can draw the Qi into our bodies, and then we can use the teleportation array, right?"

Bai Chenxue shook her head: "It's uncertain! The distance is far this time. Ergou said that he estimated that even veteran players would have to be at the foundation building level or even above level 25 before they could use it and draw the energy into their bodies. Unless they spend a lot of money to buy equipment that increases spiritual power, otherwise, it's uncertain!"

Shen Yun suddenly realized: "Oh, so from this perspective, the number of people participating in the war won't be that many?"

Bai Chenxue said, "That's not necessarily true. You know Longshan, right? They can build their own flying boats, and there are players who can fly them! They are probably almost near Ziwei Sect now!"

Shen Yun was shocked: "So early!?"

"Yes, and they said that if you don't have enough mana bars, they will organize a group teleport every half an hour, and you can go and take advantage of it! The condition is that you either temporarily join Longshan Sheyi until the battlefield mission is over, or pay 1 spirit stone or 1 yuan... that is 10 silver, and you can use it unlimited times!"

At this point, Bai Chenxue curled her lips and complained, "How insidious! Newbies who have just entered the game don't have the time to make money! It's just added to their community! Even if you quit after fighting in the battlefield, the prestige and contribution points earned in the entire battlefield will also be counted into the community! Humph!"

Shen Yun thought about it and didn't feel comfortable saying that this was a good idea, so he just asked tactfully, "Why don't we do this in Chang'an?"

"Hey, our community has so many people that we can't manage them all! There are hundreds of them!" Bai Chenxue spread her hands and said, "We are the number one community in the server. We don't even need to advertise to recruit newbies. Why do we need to use these little tricks?"

"That's true."

"Besides, Second Senior Sister and the others also said that it's not good for one company to dominate alone. Only by having some comparison can we show how powerful our community is! Reducing the number of high-level fighters to come in will be much more useful than having more people!"

Listening to Bai Chenxue's serious analysis, Shen Yun suppressed a laugh and said, "Ahem, Gao Zhan? Cai Cai... just, you..."

If [Cai Cai] is as popular as Shiba Inu among the players, then Bai Chenxue is as "unskilled" as they come - literally unskilled, her combat power is all gained through leveling up, and she doesn't know any spells except the ones she learned from the spell book. After she finishes her daily tasks online every day, she eats and drinks and eats cabbage and golden cabbage. As for why she lives such a leisurely life... Jin Cai gets all kinds of natural treasures from somewhere every now and then, and if she sells them, she can feed ten Bai Chenxues!

Bai Chenxue could hear Shen Yun's teasing, and immediately got angry. She stamped her feet, put her hands on her hips and said, "What's the matter? I've been accumulating strength for a long time! When my Jincai and Caicai are trained, I'll be the best beast tamer in the server! How can my personal strength compare to my little brothers charging into battle!"

The two laughed and joked for a while, received various benefits and supplies such as medical kits and talismans, and bought a bunch of gunpowder. Then they gathered in a corner of the City Lord's Mansion and talked about their meeting in a few days.

"Didn't Ergou book the tour to start in the afternoon of the 3rd? He'll pay for dinner, and Brother Fuzi will pay for accommodation. It's his own hotel, and it's a five-star hotel! I've never stayed in a five-star hotel before!"

Bai Chenxue sipped the milk tea with an expectant look on her face.

Shen Yun asked, "When will you arrive so I can pick you up?"

Bai Chenxue was stunned for a moment: "Hey? Aren't you in H City? How come you can pick me up?" "My friend and I came here in advance to check out the place," Shen Yun winked and said, "Hehe, actually we came here in advance to play and drove here, so I can pick you up, no problem!"

Bai Chenxue waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I have already arranged to pick you up at the airport, and then we will go directly to the hotel that Master is staying at!"

Shen Yun didn't force it, and just said, "Okay, see you then! I'll treat you to crispy duck! It's a restaurant I specially checked out, it's delicious!"

"Yes, yes!"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard Wang Ergou repeating a sentence loudly several times, and he also swiped more than a dozen messages in the Sheyi chat channel -

"Attention everyone in Chang'an! There's a new community called [I Love Farming] these days, and our Chang'an community has formed an alliance with them! If you meet them in the wild, give them a hand! We are all brothers! Don't blame Ergou for not reminding everyone, that community is full of big guys, so remember to hug their thighs when you meet them, and you will never suffer any loss!"

A curious player asked with a playful smile: "Brother Gou, can you tell me how big a boss you are?"

"How big is he?"

Wang Ergou chuckled, gave him a look that said "you figure it out for yourself", and said, "Sister Malou and Guo Juxia are both from that community. How big of a boss do you think they are?"

“Wow—”

All the players were amazed.

"Malou Sister" and "Guo Giant Man" refer to [Laboratory Malou] and [Guo Palace Giant]. Since these two people reproduced the rocket launcher in the game, they are almost known to everyone in the player community. However, these two people are too low-key and rarely show up. They are not even added to the community, which leads to their extremely high status in everyone's hearts.

In comparison, although there are some scattered players who have developed some small toys that look like "flintlock rifles" but are not as powerful as a thunder talisman, they are completely not good enough.

Another player asked with shining eyes: "Brother Gou, if I get on good terms with the big guys in that community, can I get a rocket launcher to play with?"

"Rocket launcher? Humph! Young man, you are too narrow-minded!"

Wang Ergou said mysteriously, "Save your contribution points and prestige points for now. Once the battlefield opens and the limited-time battlefield merchants appear, hehehe... do you want to play Gatling?"

“What the hell!?”

Wang Ergou then cleared his throat: "Ahem, ahem, don't say it was me who said that when you get out! I don't know anything! I didn't say anything!"

One player said, "Don't worry, Brother Gou! I will never tell anyone that it was you who told me that I can use Gatling guns in the battlefield!"

"You kid!"
