Chapter 16 Training
"Is that what you meant?"
Jian Shiyuan rested his right elbow on the armrest of the wooden chair, his slender fingers pointing to his chin, looking lazy.
Mu Niu Liu Ma made him a "boss happy chair" so that he could talk to players without standing.
Crimson knelt on one knee and bowed his head even more respectfully. "Yes, Lord Sect Leader. The first kill reward can boost player morale and increase the fun of the game."
"Was it your idea?"
Jian Shiyuan smiled faintly. Shenhong lowered his head and could not see the expression of the sect master. He could not make out anything from the tone of voice. He was about to admit it when a hand interrupted him.
Jian Shiyuan stretched out her hand, gently stroked his cheek, and touched his forehead along the contour of his face.
Shenhong could clearly feel the slight tingling and numbness when the sect master's nails touched her skin, and then the warm and delicate touch of the fingertips.
"Look up and look me in the eyes."
Shenhong hesitated and slowly raised his head. The master in front of him still had a slight smile on his lips, and his glass-like eyes were calm. For some reason, Shenhong didn't dare to lie.
He avoided looking and admitted honestly: "It was Ye Lingfei's suggestion."
After getting the answer he wanted, Jian Shiyuan said slowly, "Very good. Let Ye Lingfei come over."
Shenhong's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly had the illusion that her teacher had come to visit her.
When he was in junior high school, he and his brothers played and damaged the classroom facilities, and the teacher called them to the office one by one to talk.
Shit, the Sect Master must have sensed something wrong with Ye Lingfei's proposal!
This jerk! He screwed me to death!
If you have cerebellar atrophy, don’t try to use other people’s tricks!
Fortunately, his favorability didn't drop, otherwise he would have killed Ye Lingfei with one knife.
Shenhong cursed Ye Lingfei a thousand times in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He informed Ye Lingfei with a forced smile that the sect leader wanted to see him about something.
Ye Lingfei was feeling uneasy. From a distance, he saw Jian Shiyuan propping up his chin, gazing boredly at the players riding away in the mist car.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyebrows were clear, showing neither joy nor sadness.
It seemed no different from usual, but Ye Lingfei's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Ye Lingfei tried to force out a sincere smile and saluted respectfully, "Master."
Jian Shiyuan slowly turned his gaze, glancing sideways, his thin lips curled up slightly. Ye Lingfei heard the rustling of clothes and lowered his head even deeper. Jian Shiyuan said nothing, he just bent down and looked at Ye Lingfei aimlessly.
Ye Lingfei lowered his head very low, with a strand of hair hanging in front of him. It was soft, shiny, and of excellent texture. It fluttered lightly, swaying in Ye Lingfei's sight, slowly blown by the wind, like a soft brush, gently scratching Ye Lingfei's heart.
Ye Lingfei has obsessive-compulsive disorder and can't stand anything that's out of place. The strand of hair hanging down from Jian Shiyuan tortured him. He wanted to move it away, but he didn't dare to move and could only endure it.
The more you pay attention to it, the harder it is to ignore. Ye Lingfei suppressed the discomfort in his heart and endured the dangling hair in his eyes.
Be patient, be uncomfortable, and continue to be patient!
Ye Lingfei couldn't bear it any longer. He had to help the Sect Master pull up this strand of hair!
Just as he was gathering his courage to make a move, Jian Shiyuan suddenly spoke up, "Did you come up with the first-kill reward plan?"
The power in Ye Lingfei's heart suddenly dissipated. He curled his fingers slightly and admitted, "It's me."
Jian Shiyuan knew that there were professional players among his disciples. For professional players, exploring the "bugs" in the game and finding the best strategy was also a kind of fun. He did not object to players using their intelligence to make profits, but treating him as a fool and trying to exploit bugs to cheat rewards was not acceptable.
When Shenhong found him, he knew what the other party was thinking as soon as he heard it, but he didn't point it out. He still listened to Shenhong's summary with a smile.
Jian Shiyuan knew that his disciples were all very creative. They had cooperated so well with the Wooden Ox and the Flowing Horse before. He was wondering why the players were so obedient. It was not until Shenhong told him the plan that he secretly said, "It's finally here."
A player is still a player, and will do whatever it takes to make a profit. Just when he was worried about not having anyone to establish his authority, Ye Lingfei took the initiative to deliver it to him.
Jian Shiyuan didn't directly scold his disciple. He just slowly put the strand of hair behind his ear, met Ye Lingfei's gaze, and slowly moved his face closer.
Ye Lingfei's pupils contracted. The Sect Master was very close to him. He could feel the hot breath exhaled by Jian Shiyuan. The Sect Master had a smile on his face, his thin lips were pale pink, and his beautiful eyes hid a hint of playfulness. The whole person exuded a dangerous aura that had never been seen from a distance.
Disobedient disciples should be taught a lesson, so as to serve as a warning to those who come after them, and not to try to defraud rewards from the master.
Jian Shiyuan didn't touch him. He simply leaned forward, close to Ye Lingfei's ear, and said slowly, "Then I'll give you a first kill reward. Remember, you must kill all creatures of the same species you see. That counts as a first kill. Go—"
Most creatures in the Ice State live in groups. Isn't he trying to cheat for the first kill reward? Then be serious and fight.
In the blizzard, a huge figure braved the snow and moved forward at an extremely fast speed, leaving several gear marks on the ground.
Shui Jing Zhu was wearing a fur cloak, and her exposed eyebrows and eyelashes were all covered with a layer of frost. She directed Shen Hong to the left, "Let's go to the Rift Valley first."
There were originally more than 20 players packed in their fog car, but most of the players acted alone and found places to get off along the way. Now there were only three people in the car: Shui Jingzhu, Shenhong, and Fluorescent Protein.
"It's probably going to be hard going ahead. Trojan said if the speed slows down, we have to get off the car and walk. If the fog car gets stuck in a crack in the ice, we won't be able to push it out."
Shui Jing Zhu bit his lip and wrapped his cloak around himself, "Then get off the car and walk."
Shenhong stepped on the soft snow, sinking into his calves with every step. After leaving the fog-making vehicle, they moved very slowly. He walked in front, blocking some of the wind and snow. The cold wind blowing on his face made his teeth chatter.
"It's probably minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius here. It's really cold."
The two ladies behind me didn't say anything. It was too difficult to speak in this kind of weather.
Shen Hong didn't need to respond, and continued to herself: "I don't know what the Sect Master did, but the place where we work is not cold at all, it's like the air conditioner is on. As soon as I leave that circle, the temperature difference between inside and outside is at least dozens of degrees."
Before the players arrived, Jian Shiyuan used a snow-melting array to circle an area. Because of the cold-proof array, the temperature inside the circle was relatively suitable, and the players would not feel cold even if they wore a single robe.
Only after leaving the safe zone encircled by Jian Shiyuan did the players truly experience the cruelty of the Ice State. Their characters' physical fitness was already very strong, but they were still shivering from the cold.
There was still no response behind him. Shenhong kept talking all the way and finally reached the rift.
Shui Jingzhu, who was walking behind, surpassed Shenhong. She walked forward a little hurriedly, and Shenhong followed her, going in a roundabout way from a small path. The rift valley was rugged and bumpy, and a shallow peek from the cliff could only reveal bottomless darkness.
"We can't go any further ahead, Sister Shui, stop!"
Shui Jingzhu was lying on the ice wall. There was a thin layer of rock under him, which was full of cracks and looked like it would collapse at any time. Shenhong felt scared even when she was two steps away, but Shui Jingzhu was unwilling to leave. She boldly reached out to pick up the rocks on the cliff.
"It's frozen solid, we can get down!"
"Sister Shui, don't move. The ice is slippery. Be careful."
Shenhong was so frightened by her actions that her hair stood on end. Shui Jingzhu actually stretched out his arms to grab the rock and tried to climb down.
Hearing Shenhong's call, Shui Jingzhu turned to look at him with a firm look in his eyes, "I promised the master that I would find a suitable place, and I will find it."
Only by exploring the bottom of the valley could she follow the subglacial river and feel the original landform before the landform was pressed down. The rift looked deep, but judging from the vertical structure, it should be only about 300 meters high. She had to go down.
Seeing Shenhong's terrified expression, Shui Jingzhu smiled, his eyes softening slightly, "I have lowered my pain sensitivity to 1. Even if I fall and die, it will only hurt a little bit."
Before setting out on the adventure, the planner launched a pain adjustment mode, which allows users to adjust their pain perception by themselves. At the same time, a youth protection mode was also launched. Battles are bound to have uncomfortable bloody scenes, and as long as the youth protection mode is turned on, the bloody scenes will be automatically blurred.
After saying this, Shui Jingzhu turned his head and looked at the bottom of the rift valley with a firm gaze.
My Lord, I will not let you down.
Shen Hong saw Shui Jing Zhu's determined expression, gritted his teeth, took out the rope, and threw it to Shui Jing Zhu, "I'll go with you."
Fluorescent Protein did not join them. She had her own things to do. She put down the wooden basket on her back, took out her tools, and worked hard to scrape the ice.
Although she had no instruments, she remembered some characteristics of the ore. The black stone shining under the ice had fluorescent properties. Regardless of whether it had practical value, it at least had ornamental value. If she dug it out and studied it carefully, she might be able to find a suitable use for it.
The wind and snow continued, and Ye Lingfei, who was less than three kilometers away from them, encountered trouble.
Looking at the snow-colored bat rushing towards him with its fangs and claws bared, Ye Lingfei held his breath.
He now finally understood what the sect leader meant when he said, "Kill any creatures of the same kind you see."
He poked the bat's nest!
