As for [Sparkling Oil]...
He has no plans to conduct any in-depth research for the time being, nor will he hand it over to anyone.
Because this thing is so dangerous. If you are not careful, it will directly erode and completely change the world.
Unless he could find a relatively closed space and time with no people or creatures inside, Zuo Si would consider releasing the [Sparkling Oil] to see how this substance created by Yawgmoth eroded, infected and transformed the entire world bit by bit, and try to see if he could control it and use it for himself.
After all, Yawgmoth himself had been killed long ago, and the most important mechanical core of Phyrexia also exploded, and the entire world fell apart. In theory, [Sparkling Oil] was no longer owned by anyone.
It's like those artificial intelligences that have lost human control. Although they are still performing tasks according to pre-set programs, they have actually lost the ability to make their own judgments.
No matter who it is, as long as they can crack the secret, they can become the new owner of [Shuo You] just like cracking the firewall and system of a computer.
Unfortunately, most of the planeswalkers of the ancient times were frightened by Yawgmoth and the Phyrexian forces he created, and were afraid of the "Spark Oil", which could transform organic life, repair mechanical bodies, and was a nearly unlimited energy source.
Not to mention research and attempts to control it, even hearing that there were signs of corrosion by [Sparkling Oil] in that place would immediately lead to permanent isolation of the entire area.
But Zuo Si was different.
He had never experienced the despair of watching one plane after another being eroded and occupied by Phyrexia while being unable to do anything.
Instead, he was full of curiosity and interest in studying the magical technology left over from the ancient Solan civilization, as well as the Phyrexian civilization further developed by Yawgmoth on this basis.
Especially those huge [Dragon-shaped Engines] with mechanical beauty, and the super humanoid machines [Constructs] that might have been created by the ancient planeswalker Urza to fight against them, all of them fascinated Zuo Si deeply.
After all, this kind of super-large mechanical creation has a natural black hole-like huge attraction for men.
If a questionnaire survey was conducted among men on Earth, asking them to choose between a beautiful and sexy lover and a large robot, more than 90% would choose the latter without hesitation.
There's nothing you can do about it, since most men remain teenagers until they die.
Without any hesitation!
Zuo Si used his powerful creator ability to create a secret research base underground, transformed some cards into physical objects, and built a permanent portal.
After finishing all this, he returned to the floating city and gathered dozens of experts in mechanics, materials, physics, etc., as well as Tyrantyr, who had just crossed the threshold to officially become a legendary wizard not long ago, and brought them all over.
After witnessing the [Dragon Engine], [Magic Heavy Artillery], [Large Flapping Wing Machine] and various [Constructs] with their own eyes, everyone fell into a daze and was unable to recover from the intense shock for a full five or six minutes.
Although strictly speaking, the actual combat effectiveness of these things may not be much stronger than those powerful ancient dragons, and they may even be at an absolute disadvantage in spell confrontations.
However, the visual impact and sense of oppression brought by the giant machines that are hundreds or thousands of meters long are simply incomparable to the ancient dragons.
Mechanical engineer David kept swallowing his saliva. After a long time, he swung his arm and slapped himself twice in the face, as if to confirm whether he was dreaming.
But the pain soon made his brain extremely clear, and he immediately exclaimed in a trembling voice: "No... Impossible!
How could a bionic machine of this size and volume be built? Even if it was built, how could it be able to move so quickly and nimbly? The gravity and its own weight alone should have crushed it!
Also, how does this huge body transmit power? It's unscientific! It's too unscientific!"
Obviously, these huge mechanical creations in front of him completely overturned the inherent cognition formed by a mechanical engineer over decades on Earth.
Not only him, but other people had similar reactions.
Experts specializing in materials science have even come close to carefully observe the materials of the metal skeletons and gears. They found that although they contain a lot of iron, they are actually a memory alloy with extremely high strength and toughness.
Even if you hit it hard and make a small dent, causing it to deform, it will return to its original state in a few seconds at most.
As for the physicists, they noticed the energy cores inside the [Dragon Engine] and [Construct] that were flashing with magical light, and they all rushed forward with instruments to test them like crazy.
When the test results came out, they found incredulously that each of these things built with unknown technology was like a small nuclear fusion reactor, which could release huge energy that was completely disproportionate to its own size, and would not cause problems such as energy depletion even if it was used for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
In addition, the energy transmission method spread throughout the metal skeleton inside the body also opened the eyes of this group of scientific research elites from Earth.
It turns out that when magic and technology are perfectly combined together, they can create something so powerful, perfect and incredible.
In contrast, as a mage, Tyrantyr turned his attention to the magic constant system used on the surface of [Dragon Engine], [Construct], [Magic Heavy Artillery] and [Large Flapping Machine].
Although the ancient Solan civilization of Dominaria always gives people the illusion of technological and mechanical civilization.
But in fact, the background or source of their civilization still does not deviate from the use of energy and magic power.
It's just that the original direct manipulation of energy to form various magical effects has been changed to be used in the fields of machinery, biology, and genetic modification.
Therefore, the magic constancy system developed on this basis is definitely not inferior to any highly developed magic civilization, and may even surpass it.
For Tyrantil, this is simply an enormous treasure trove.
If you can learn and master some relevant knowledge from it, you will definitely be able to gain very powerful power, and maybe even create a new legendary advanced profession.
In short, everyone present felt that these creations had unimaginable research value.
If I hadn't gotten permission, I would have started by dismantling a small construct and working on the basic principles of its operation through reverse engineering.
Zuo Si obviously felt the enthusiasm for facing unknown technology and knowledge, and immediately announced with a smile: "From today on, your most important task is to organize people to reverse engineer these top creations that combine magic and technology, and then apply the results to the Plantia floating city. Tell me, do you have the confidence to complete this task?"
"Hehe! Of course we have confidence! If we can't even do reverse engineering through the real objects, we elites in various industries will have no face to continue living. But this will obviously take a long time, and during this period we will need support in terms of resources and manpower. The most important thing is that we have to dismantle, analyze and study these behemoths."
Physics PhD McCas grinned with great excitement.
If the previous research conducted in the floating city was a series of aimless attempts, and even they themselves did not know what results would be achieved, then what needs to be carried out next is targeted scientific research.
And this is not just an ordinary scientific research project, but a large-scale reverse engineering involving real objects.
Through these studies, it is also possible to unlock the amazing knowledge and advanced technology of an ancient and extremely advanced civilization of magic and technology.
Is there anything in the world that makes people feel more excited than this?
The answer is obviously no!
Although the phrase "technological research and development relies on archaeology" has always been a classic joke on Earth, it is obviously not the case in the magical world.
Especially those ancient civilizations that had developed to terrifying heights thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, but suddenly perished due to some special reasons. It can be said that each one has its own unique features.
In a time and space like Dominaria, where ancient artifacts can be dug out from underground ruins every now and then, it is normal for "scientific and technological research and development to rely on archaeology" to be a normal thing.
Zuo Si nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! I will give you enough support, and I agree that you can dismantle the things left here. But one thing is, if you are not absolutely sure, it is best not to touch those cores first."
"Please rest assured. Those of us who study high-energy physics know very well what an energy core of that level means, and we will never act rashly. Even if we have to dismantle it, we will start with the smallest mechanical body." McCas gave a solemn guarantee.
Soon, under his leadership, a number of testing instruments, scientific research equipment, some large mechanical cranes for disassembly and other things were transported from the floating city through the portal.
Just two or three hours later, a group of people gathered around the smallest [Construct] and began to discuss where to start.
If it were his less busy time, Zuo Si would naturally be happy to join in and use his professional abilities as a creator to help with analysis and provide professional advice.
But unfortunately, he has too many things to do now. Just to pass through the dark void and lock the two worlds requires a lot of energy.
Secondly, I have to take some time to attend the Northern Lords Alliance meeting to be held in Luskan, to see what Alustriel and the Golden Dragon Queen Valamaradace want to do by coming all the way here.
Finally, we must also pay attention to the developments in Baldur's Gate and Amn, ensuring that we can respond as soon as possible when the Sons of Bhaal begin to awaken on a large scale and compete for the throne left by their father, and when the chess pieces left by Shane VII in Askatra begin to play a role.
In addition, Cyric, who is currently making a divine weapon, and the Church of Bane, who is lurking in the dark and waiting for an opportunity, should also not be taken lightly.
Just as Zuo Si was about to turn around and leave, Tailantyr, who was still immersed in analyzing those constant magics, suddenly came to his senses the next second, walked up quickly and reported in a low voice: "Sir, a small number of elite players among those players have graduated from the corresponding academies, and will leave the floating city today to carry out their first mission."
"Graduation? So soon!" Zuo Si was slightly surprised.
Tailantyr explained helplessly, "Well! According to the observation of the main brain Isadora, those experienced veterans who have been on the battlefield before, as well as some professionally trained bodyguards, assassins and agents, can often complete the training courses of warriors, thieves, rangers, barbarians and other professions in a very short time.
In comparison, spellcaster professions are much slower.
Currently only two clerics, one druid, four bards, and one warlock have received true class levels.
In order to prevent them from being unable to suppress their inner violent tendencies and killing impulses and causing trouble, I discussed with Vanessa and decided to issue a mission to send them to look for traces of other floating cities.
In about an hour, this group of people will take the airship to the designated location to search..."
"Wait! What's going on with the airship?" Zuo Si suddenly interrupted.
You know, the last time I left the floating city, I didn’t even have a plan for this thing.
How come they were able to create the real thing in just over ten days?
Although he also knew that the structure of the airship was not complicated, it could even be said to be very simple, it was just a huge airbag plus a pod below, plus a power propulsion system.
With the floating city's outrageous industrial capacity that combines magic and technology, it is estimated that once the design is available, it will take only one or two hours to build one.
But the question is, is the safety of this airship really guaranteed? Has it been rigorously tested in flight and bad weather? If it encounters an attack from a flying magical creature, is there a way to drive it away or fight back? Any mature and stable aircraft is not achieved overnight and requires a long period of practical testing.
An airship like this, which was put into use only a few days after being built, makes people feel creepy no matter how they think about it, and there is no sense of security at all.
“The idea of building an airship actually came up with the idea of looking for more tribes hidden in the mountains and dense forests in another continent.
According to the requests made by the other three Isadoras, they needed a vehicle that could adjust altitude and fly slowly so that they could find the hiding small and medium-sized tribes one by one.
Based on this requirement, weapons designer Boll proposed a design for a large airship.
In order to implement the idea of low cost, easy mass production, simple structure, easy repair and maintenance, he did not make major changes to the original structure of the airship.
It's just that the internal combustion engine originally used to provide power is replaced by an electric motor, and the cylindrical energy storage crystal matrix you invented is used as the energy source.
In addition, in order to greatly increase the carrying capacity, Bol fixed a large amount of first-ring magic [Feather Fall] on the pod, so that it has almost no weight no matter how much stuff it carries.
In this way, a large number of people and materials can be easily carried with very small air bag buoyancy, achieving a much cheaper mode of transportation than building and maintaining a permanent portal.
Moreover, even if the airbag is damaged, the pod below will not hit the ground heavily, but will float down at a very slow speed.
When landing, it only needs to use the anti-magic force field to block a small part of the effect of [Feather Fall]. The pod's own weight will lower its altitude and eventually dock at the designated location. There are almost no special requirements for the terrain.
In addition, the airship's airbags also maintain a magical wind-resistant effect, ensuring normal operation under severe weather conditions such as strong winds.
So far, we have only built one to conduct flight and safety experiments.”
While saying this, Tailantier did not hide his admiration for Bol and his airship design.
With this thing, not only can the efficiency of the implementation of the population migration plan be greatly improved, but it can also expand the control range of the floating city of Plantia and reduce the transportation and trade costs between towns and villages in the ruled area.
If enough of them are built to form a stable schedule like buses, we can even completely abandon the construction and maintenance of roads. In the future, both travel and the sale of goods will be completed through the air transportation system.
This not only saves a lot of money, but is also very efficient, it's simply perfect.
As a person with the thinking and knowledge of modern Earth society, Zuo Si certainly could not be unaware of the advantages and disadvantages of airships.
Especially under the influence of magic power, when the carrying capacity is greatly improved and safety and stability are guaranteed, large airships are more useful than transport planes.
So he nodded in satisfaction, "It sounds pretty good. By the way, what kind of gas is injected into the airbag of this experimental airship? Helium?"
"No, it's hydrogen. Because it's easier to obtain and cheaper, and it can be obtained continuously just by electrolyzing water day and night in the floating city."
Tailantier gave an answer that made Zuo Si shudder with fear.
"Hydrogen?! Doesn't that mean that the entire airship's airbag is equivalent to a huge bomb? As long as we throw a flame into it, it will instantly turn into a huge, gorgeous firework blooming in the sky?" Zuo Si couldn't help but asked with a twitching mouth.
But Tyrantil shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Boll also raised this point when he submitted the design proposal.
Our researchers are working hard to develop a relatively cheap way to extract helium.
Once the results are out, helium will naturally replace the original hydrogen.
But now...
It’s not a big problem to use hydrogen for now.
Anyway, the sky is always much safer than the earth. At least there are not so many undead, monsters and robbers.
What's more, those players will not really die. Even if something unexpected happens, they will only lose a clone and a small amount of supplies.
Compared to the things you need to prepare and the dangers you may encounter when traveling by land, it is nothing.
Of course, if you want to promote this mode of transportation in Faerûn, you'd better think twice.
I'm not sure if evil dragons, pterosaurs, griffins, and other flying creatures would attack airships that pass over their lairs and territories.
At least we should not rush to promote it until we find a self-defense weapon that can be equipped on airships."
"Don't worry. Before helium replaces hydrogen, I will not use such a dangerous thing as a means of public transportation. That would be murder. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. You and Vanessa should keep an eye on this place."
After saying this, Zuo Si went through several portals and returned to the Mage Tower. In the following days, he used the power of sparks to search for the coordinates of the new world in the dark void, while reading the scrolls of Netheril and absorbing a lot of magical theory knowledge from them.
At the same time, more than 140 players who graduated from their respective academies in the floating city have now gathered and are standing in the shadow of the huge airship, looking up at this behemoth in amazement.
About two or three minutes later, Jack, who was wearing plate armor and a fully enclosed helmet, could not help but curse in an amazed tone: "Fuck! Our floating city actually has a means of transportation like an airship? You must be kidding! Moreover, the ratio of the airship's pod to the airbag is completely wrong! Normally, the latter should be dozens of times larger than the former!
How on earth did it float?"
“Do you think that in this world full of magical powers, airships will be the same as in the real world?
I bet there's a lot of magic on this thing.
I asked a wizard apprentice a few days ago and found out that in the first ring of arcane magic there is a magic called [Feather Fall], which can make a person or an object become as light as a feather.
Maybe there are many similar spells constantly cast on the pod.
Damn it!
I really like this virtual game world more and more. "
Wu Sheng stuck out his tongue and gently licked his slightly dry lips, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.
"Hahaha! Me too! Compared to the strange real world, this place is more familiar to us old-timers. Let's go in and see what's going on inside the airship."
After that, Jack patted his teammate's shoulder vigorously and quickly climbed up the rope ladder.
Wu Sheng followed closely behind.
After a short while, more than 140 players entered the spacious pod.
Since it was a hastily built product, there is basically no decoration or furnishing inside the pod. It is simply divided into five parts based on function.
The compartment closest to the tail is the core power system, which houses the electric engine, energy crystal matrix, and control and operating system.
Obviously, this part is not open to players for the time being. Instead, it is operated by Boll and his team. They will also collect design flaws and problems that may occur during the test flight of the airship, and then take them back for upgrades and improvements.
As for the second part, it is a warehouse used to store supplies.
There are piles of fresh water, wine, grain, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and milk for the players to eat and drink, as well as replacement equipment such as weapons, armor, shields, bows and crossbows, as well as consumables such as arrows, fire glue, holy water that can cause additional damage to undead creatures, small incendiary bombs for large-scale clearing, and liquid hydrogen-oxygen bombs.
However, since there are only more than 140 players, the supplies do not seem to be very much, and the warehouse area inevitably gives people a slightly empty feeling.
The third and fourth parts are living areas.
There are not only separate small rooms and soft beds for sleeping, but also a large comprehensive kitchen for cooking, a public canteen, an entertainment lounge, a gym and a training ground.
As for the last area, it is a semi-enclosed deck leading to the outside, which can also be called an observation deck or a weapons platform.
Of course, since there are no suitable weapons to install at the moment, we only made some ordinary crossbows and bed crossbows with rotating direction functions as a demonstration.
But players can use this place to drop bombs and incendiary bombs from the warehouse and carry out large-scale indiscriminate bombing on the ground.
As the designer of the airship and the person with the highest decision-making power for this mission, Bol first took the players on a rough tour from beginning to end and clearly explained various precautions. Then he ordered the removal of the anti-magic force field effect, and then powered on the electric motor and slowly drove away from the floating city of Plantia.
Seeing that the first batch of elites could actually embark on their journey in such a spectacular means of transportation, the other players who had not yet obtained real professional levels showed expressions of envy and jealousy.
"Fuck! I've never been to the sky since I was born. I really want to ride an airship once!"
"I have flown a few civilian airplanes, but I feel like they are definitely not comparable to airships. If I had known that the first batch of graduates from the academy would receive this kind of extra benefit, I wouldn't have wasted my time doing those side missions to make money."
"Who says it's not? Going out on an adventure in an airship is exciting and thrilling just thinking about it."
"Damn it! I can't stand it anymore! I have to go back to the Warrior Academy for extra training now!"
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
"Together, together!"
"Is there any apprentice from the Mage Tower who would like to hang out with me in the library?"
“Me, me, me!”
"Thieves Academy, assemble here! Today we're going to challenge ourselves to get through those rooms full of traps within five minutes."
…
All of a sudden, more than 90% of the players seemed to be stimulated. They swept away their previous thoughts of wanting to lie down and find loopholes, and madly threw themselves into the almost self-abuse training, and even ignored the tasks issued by the floating city on weekdays.
As for the remaining small group, it's not that they don't want to work hard, but they are all pregnant and dare not do any strenuous activities.
Even many female players began to regret their original choice.
But the problem is that having a child involves an upfront investment of time cost, so they are unwilling to give up halfway. They can only grit their teeth and hold on, waiting for the first reward to be received before catching up.
As the daily manager of the floating city, Vanessa immediately smiled meaningfully after noticing the change in wind direction and atmosphere, and directly asked the main brain Isadora to release a preview of the game update in the virtual world "Infinite City".
That is to say, in half a month, a new world will be opened for all players who have obtained professional levels.
In the new world, they can freely join any force, or unite to form their own force, and even destroy, kill, plunder, conquer, and rule all villages and towns, and even declare themselves kings and establish a country.
In short, there is no taboo as long as the interests of the floating city of Plantia are not harmed.
Moreover, the tasks and rewards given will be different depending on the route and camp chosen by each player.
If the giant airship that flew over the floating city before was equivalent to throwing a big firecracker into the crowd, then this update preview was a fuel-air bomb that instantly drove thousands of players crazy.
Jack, who had just logged off the airship to rest, immediately found his good teammate. His eyes flashed with a chilling light, and he grinned and asked, "Dude, have you seen the latest announcement?"
"Hmm! Such important news, unless I am deaf and blind, how could I not see it?"
Wu Sheng subconsciously clenched his fists and gave an affirmative answer without thinking.
"So what are your intentions and plans? In other words, do you want to join a certain camp, or do we want to form a new camp together and work alone?" Jack asked tentatively, touching the stubble on his chin.
Wu Sheng responded without hesitation: "Is there any need to ask? Of course I will work alone!
The description of that new world is pretty clear: it's a medieval place with a few dragons and a little magic.
With our knowledge and experience, we can easily form a mercenary team.
At that time, we will first train the soldiers through small-scale wars, and then slowly increase the number of people until we can capture cities, cede land and become king.
Of course, in order to achieve this goal quickly, we must attract more players to join.
As for the number, it is best to keep it between fifty and one hundred."
"Hahahaha! We are thinking the same thing! I think this mission is a good opportunity.
After all, those who can graduate from their respective academies within half a month must be elite fighters like you and me.
We will select and recruit some of them as the core, and then select some from the rest of the players, and we will be able to form an invincible and powerful team."
Jack watched with a laugh and rubbed his hands together, ready to do a great job.
"It will take at least half a month for the new world to open. During this time, we must upgrade our professional level as much as possible and accumulate combat experience. Most importantly, we must perform well in the missions so as to gain more appeal and influence among the player community."
While talking, Wu Sheng poured the sticky, nutritious meal on his plate, which had no texture or taste at all, into his mouth.
After eating this disgusting-looking food for more than half a month, he felt that his taste system had begun to degenerate.
If I couldn't taste real food in the game world, I would probably go crazy.
In fact, it wasn't just him, the other players had similar reactions.
Some of the more spoiled ones even start to develop stress reactions and anorexia. They can't help but feel nauseous and want to vomit when they see the nutritious meals. They would rather exchange the little money they have earned in the game into real-world currency to buy food than endure this torture.
Jack also pinched his nose and poured the sticky paste from the plate into his mouth, then drank a large glass of water in one breath to put it into his stomach. He then let out a long breath and cursed in a low voice: "This extremely bad taste and flavor always reminds me of the vomit that drunkards spray out at the door of the bar. I really don't understand how the future society three hundred years later can come up with such an anti-human thing."
"Because it is provided free of charge to all the poor people who can't afford food, ensuring the most basic right to survival. So don't complain. After completing this task and getting the reward, I will go online to buy some fresh vegetables and meat and cook a delicious meal for you." Wu Sheng comforted him as he threw the empty plate into the automatic washing machine next to him.
"You said that! I'll keep it in mind!"
Since Jack had tasted the cooking skills of this teammate who was from the kitchen squad on the airship, his eyes lit up immediately and his mouth began to secrete a lot of saliva.
"No problem! My greatest strength is that I never break my promises. Let's go back to the virtual world and see where the airship is now."
After that, the two of them got up and returned to their temporary residence, lying in the huge egg-shaped life support system.
In the blink of an eye, their consciousness was injected into the clone's brain through psychic signals.
After a brief trance, Jack and Wu Sheng woke up from their beds in the living area of the airship.
After briefly checking and organizing their equipment, they immediately went to the semi-enclosed deck outside.
Since the flight altitude is only over one thousand meters, the situation on the ground can be clearly seen through the telescope.
Among them, the zombies wandering along a country road and the ghouls moving extremely fast and strangely soon attracted the attention of the two.
"What is that?"
Jack couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
"Those are the undead creatures that people become after death due to the negative energy. The lowest level of them are skeletons and zombies, while the higher level ones are ghouls. When you reach your destination, the biggest threat you will face will probably come from them."
Captain Paul, who happened to be taking a breath on the deck, explained in a nonchalant tone.
"Is there anything I should pay attention to when dealing with them?" Jack asked very humbly.
He didn't know that the person in front of him was actually from the same world as him, and he thought that the other person was some high-level NPC who possessed a lot of knowledge and secrets.
Of course, Boll was already used to this attitude of the players, and replied calmly: “There are two points to note.
First, most of the undead creatures have no so-called vital points, so if you want to kill them you have to beat them to pieces; second, the undead in this world are different from the undead in other worlds, and they may carry deadly magical plagues in their bodies, so it is best to take a bottle of specially prepared potion immediately after the battle.
Since you are a priest, you have more advantages in dealing with undead than other professions.
Whether it's the ability granted by the gods to dispel or control undead creatures, or those positive energy spells and the fire spells unique to the Phoenix God, they can all cause amazing damage to them.
Alternatively, you can also apply holy water or holy oil to your weapon to achieve the same effect.
In short, encountering small-scale zombies or ghouls should not be too difficult a challenge for you.
However, if you are unlucky enough to encounter hundreds or even thousands of undead, I suggest that you fight while retreating back to the location of the airship.
I will provide you with some air fire cover at that time."
Jack nodded thoughtfully: "I see, thank you for your advice. One last question, how far are we from the mission location?"
"Half an hour! We will be above the mission area in half an hour. You can start packing and preparing for landing. I suggest you bring at least three days' worth of food, a flask of low-alcohol wine, two bottles of healing potions, and a bottle of plague neutralizing potion, plus some other supplies and a fireworks wand for sending signals to the sky."
After saying this, Bol no longer paid attention to these players, turned around and walked straight towards the core area at the tail.
Under his command and control, only half an hour later, the airship began to slowly descend in altitude, and finally lowered the rope ladder about 20 meters above the ground.
More than 140 elite players, carrying weapons and bags, climbed down from the edge of the pod one after another, and then began to swing their axes and saws to chop down the surrounding trees, clear weeds and rocks, and quickly cleared a large area of relatively flat open space.
As for the cut down trees, they were not wasted. They were tied into rafts and erected as walls to build a simple temporary camp.
After doing all this, they got together for a meeting and divided the search area on the map into countless small blocks.
Each team will claim one piece according to the number of people.
As for those "lone wolves" who do not have a team yet, they will temporarily join a team with fewer people.
Since this is the first mission and it is so far away from the floating city, the players are all extremely cautious, fearing that they might accidentally lose their lives here and miss the most exciting and thrilling adventure.
After all, they knew after entering the game that their "resurrection point" was in the floating city. It would take two or three days to get to such a far place by airship, and even if they were resurrected instantly after death, it would be impossible to make it back.
As a team of only two people, it was inevitable that several people would be crammed into Jack and Wu Sheng's team.
These include two fighters, a rogue, and a warlock.
Yes!
The only warlock among more than 140 players became a member of their team.
It's not that no one wants a warlock who is an orthodox arcane spellcaster, but that this warlock looks a little unreliable.
Not only was she a little girl of only fourteen years old, but she also had the bloodline of a forest elf and a woodland creature. She looked frail, was only less than one and a half meters tall, was not very courageous, and was even a little afraid of the dark.
In the eyes of the elite soldiers, bodyguards and killers, this girl was definitely a burden, so no one was willing to take her with them.
Only Wu Sheng felt that the girl was pitiful. At the same time, he believed that the spellcaster would be of great use in the future, so he chose to take her with him to try it out.
If it doesn't work, we can just go our separate ways after this mission is over.
After informing each other of their names and specialties, the six-member team headed into the depths of the dense forest facing the rising sun.
Because the little warlock Caroline's strength attribute was very low, only seven points, she couldn't carry too many supplies. The strong Jack took the initiative to take over the girl's backpack.
As the understanding between each other was very limited, the team seemed very dull along the way and basically no one talked.
But after about an hour of walking, the situation improved significantly.
To be precise, they encountered a group of creatures that were very common in this world before the outbreak of the magic plague - wild boars.
However, they were different from ordinary wild boars. These dozen wild boars of all sizes were obviously dead, and they exuded a strong stench of decay. Some wounds that seemed to have been bitten had a large number of cysts that made one's scalp numb and black and red worms that kept wriggling.
“Aa…
As expected, the timid Caroline broke the silence among the team members with a scream that even a soprano could not reach.
