Chapter 46 Determine the plan
The group of people fell silent, no one said a word. Last time, because of such a dispute, no one was able to take down the Black Scorpion.
At this time, a man said in a muffled voice, "No one expected someone to be so shameless as to secretly kill the Black Scorpion. But after this kill, they can't just contribute without receiving bonus points."
The young girl looked around before saying, "Those standing here are all mayors of the various city-states in Jinghe District. They should know that it's difficult to carry the load alone. But I have to admit, it's really hard to divide the rewards properly."
"Yeah, who would be willing to put in the effort and not get any good results?"
"that is"
The young girl calmed everyone down with a soothing tone. "He Ange and the others from Longjiao City will be here soon. We need to come up with a good plan this time. We can't let the mutated boss stay here. It'll be hard for our team to kill it alone if we don't cooperate."
Who wouldn’t be envious of the mutant BOSS? When the black scorpion appeared more than a month ago, it was discovered by a team from one of the city-states. As a result, there happened to be more people coming out, so they were confident that they could kill it.
Unexpectedly, the black scorpion had extremely high defense and its stinger had a poison sac, which almost wiped out the entire team.
With so many people dead, it was impossible to hide it. Later, it was learned that a mutant BOSS appeared. The city lord was also jealous and continued to summon some teams in the city. The group was going to capture the Black Scorpion.
There are nearly two hundred people in total, many of whom are cannon fodder, not even professional players. At most, they are strong and powerful, and they are there purely to drain the BOSS's blood.
In this way, about half of the nearly two hundred people were professional players killed or injured. Many of those who were originally going to be cannon fodder escaped, but the most serious thing was that the city lord was directly killed by the Black Scorpion.
When this news spread, the city-state was doomed to disappear without its lord. Several neighboring city-states lured some residents into their own cities and also learned the news about the Black Scorpion.
It's just that the spoils were not divided evenly, so it's been dragged on.
But he was killed by someone else while he was dragging his feet. The city lords present regretted their actions, but they also began to suspect that several city lords had joined forces to secretly kill Black Scorpion.
Soon, He Ange, who had parted with Lu Jiu and the others not long ago, arrived here with his team members.
According to Shen Jufeng's observation, there were about fourteen city lords present. This number really shocked Zhuang Yun. In his opinion, now that the world's territory has become larger, it is really not easy for the city lords to get together.
Lu Jiu sent him an email, saying that most of these city lords had that pink cloud, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to get together.
Looking at so many city lords, they basically don’t bring many people with them. He Ange’s city-state is close, so he brings the most people.
Seeing He Ange coming, the young girl who had previously held a lot of influence said, "City Lord He, we came here today because we really want to come up with a plan. Otherwise, if we just keep wasting time like this, we're not sure if someone will stealthily get rid of this mutant boss."
"Is Black Scorpion really dead?" He Ange ignored other words and only asked whether the information that Black Scorpion was killed was true.
"Well, I went to check it out myself, and there was nothing there. Black scorpions used to appear whenever they got close to the area, but after a quick walk around there, there was no sign of anything. Then I went to the barren mountain to check, and it seems the black scorpion was indeed killed."
After hearing this, He Ange, like the other city lords, wondered whether the other city lords had joined forces to do something evil.
Seeing his suspicious look, the atmosphere among the group of people became a little tense.
"We have people from several city-states patrolling together every three days, and we supervise each other. The patrol team is irregularly reorganized every week. It is unlikely that they are one of us."
After the young girl said this, the tense atmosphere eased slightly.
Lu Jiu couldn't help but look at the young girl a few more times. Although she was young, she was quite smart.
"Could it be done by outsiders?" someone asked in confusion.
There are more than a dozen city-states in Jinghe District, and some are too far away and have little contact with them.
For some reason, when he heard the word "outsider", He Ange thought of the people from Jinjiang District he had met, but there were only three of them. He didn't believe that three people could kill the mutant BOSS.
"Now, no matter who did it, we still have to patrol that area to see if the Black Scorpion will spawn again. If it doesn't, then all kinds of mutant bosses may appear in the future."
This is how the game works. There is no fixed BOSS, and new ones will appear.
He Ange turned to look at the young girl. This girl was Li Aoting, the mayor of Taixi City. Although young, she was smart and was the person he had always wanted to unite with.
Of course, this union refers to a marriage. In his opinion, although the world is gamified, it does not make them completely like game characters. They still have emotions and desires.
Besides, Li Aoting's appearance and temperament are both mature and mature, which is his favorite type.
"Then what kind of plan does City Lord Li think he can come up with this time?" He Ange asked.
"In our Jinghe District, there's a regularly respawning boss in every area. Usually, several city-states take turns to kill this boss. The same goes for spawning mutant bosses. When we find a mutant boss, we take turns killing it, and we must auction off two rewards dropped by wild monsters."
At once, more than a dozen people started discussing. In fact, this method is feasible, but the difficulty lies in the fact that there are too many city-states participating. Who knows how long it will take for a mutant BOSS to be refreshed, and who wants to wait forever?
Because everyone was arguing about this and couldn't come to a decision.
But Li Aoting, who made this suggestion, was not in a hurry at all. She just watched the people in front of her argue.
[She has other plans.] Lu Jiu received an email from Shen Jufeng, which contained this sentence.
I immediately felt that the little girl was amazing, no wonder she was so calm.
Sure enough, when everyone still couldn't make up their minds, they told Li Aoting that this method wouldn't work.
"There are fifteen city-states participating here. Who will be ranked first and last?" Everyone wants to be first, but no one wants to be last.
"That means everyone agrees to the rotation system." Li Aoting said, with a meaningful smile on her lips.
Everyone nodded and said that it was of course okay to come one by one.
"But everyone should understand that no matter how we take turns, no one will be satisfied. So, let's do it just like we did when we patrolled the Black Scorpion. Fifteen city-states will form teams. Five city-states will form three groups, or three city-states will form five groups. We'll draw lots to determine the order, and each group will compete to see who can kill the mutant boss."
"This" isn't still competition, and it's not the result they want.
"But this can't guarantee that every city-state can capture the mutant BOSS." Some people think this is not feasible.
Li Aoting replied slowly, "Let's not forget that when we were in a peaceful society, everyone was always competing. Now, it's even more so in the gaming world. I simply changed the competition from one in 15 to one in three, or even one in five. The competition is always stronger than 15, right?"
This statement caused the conversation to fall into silence. In fact, what Li Aoting said was right. This world needs competition, and only those with strength can grab good resources.
The aggrieved residents of Jinghe District: I don’t know who is so shameless as to secretly take over the Black Scorpion.
Lu Jiu/Chen Jufeng/Zhuang Yun (whistling): The weather is really nice today
