Chapter 73
The loud voice and the firecracker-like way of speaking, even if Xia Mo only heard this one sentence, he could easily imagine what the other person looked like at the moment.
Yi Qianqiu, her roommate, is a bold and straightforward person who is very righteous.
Like her, Yi Qianqiu also plays "Protoss", a professional warrior with the ID "Sanma". Her operations are very bold and anyone who sees her for the first time will be scared by the way she swings the sword.
Hearing what she just said, Xia Mo pursed her lips and smiled imperceptibly. It seemed that the commander who slandered her was in trouble.
Yi Qianqiu entered the dormitory after hanging up the phone. When he pushed the door open, he found that two people had already come in, one of them was surrounded by several bodyguards.
She glanced at Long Yue and said softly, "What a grand ceremony! If you didn't know better, you'd think we were going to negotiate a multi-million dollar deal."
Long Yue looked at her new short-haired roommate and wanted to greet her with a smile, but the other party didn't even give her a look, and her face suddenly became embarrassed.
Xia Mo had just made the bed and looked at this discordant scene with a sigh.
It's okay. These two started out like this, but after some things happened, they became close sisters. She doesn't need to worry too much.
The three of them were busy with their own things, and soon the fourth roommate pushed the door open and walked in.
Hearing the footsteps entering the room, Xia Mo frowned slightly.
Hong Xinya was the only girl in the dormitory who was not sociable. Later, for some unknown reason, she applied to move out of the dormitory without saying a word.
Too lazy to guess what was happening to others, Xia Mo put his things on the table under the bed, turned around and was about to go to the bathroom when he suddenly met Hong Xinya.
When the other person saw her, his expression changed slightly, but he immediately returned to calm.
Hong Xinya tried to cover up quickly, but still couldn't escape Xia Mo's sharp eyes.
Xia Mo pretended to be unaware and walked towards the independent toilet on the balcony with the basin in his hand. Although his back was facing Hong Xinya at the door, Xia Mo could clearly feel the inquiring gaze from behind him.
After everyone made their beds and desks, they went downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch.
The freshman entrance ceremony will be held from 2:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon. It will not be until 12:30 after lunch. Xia Mo looked at the time and immediately decided to go to the practice building next to the cafeteria.
"Protoss" will have a subtle influence on the mental power of people in reality. The government of Alman Star informed the military academy of this military secret. In order to improve the mental power of students, the school encourages students to participate more in "Protoss" activities.
In order to make it easier for students to access the game while at school, the military academy spent a huge amount of money to order a batch of holographic warehouses and placed them in the practice building. As long as students swipe their student cards, they can log in for free.
When Xia Mo was going through the admission procedures in the morning, she had already received her student card. She hurried to the holographic room, showed her student card to the teacher on duty, swiped it through the machine for verification, and then immediately entered the holographic cabin.
There are still two hours left, and she will not miss any opportunity to enter the game.
Enter your personal information and log in successfully.
Since she had been killing monsters in the Kao Forest for the past two days, she was naturally in the city of Huangs next to the forest when she went offline. After coming out of the hotel, she went straight to the castle to take on the city mission.
The city tasks are basically the same. According to the previous rules, she can basically finish them in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
However, today, perhaps it was because of that damn bad luck buff that she ran for a full hour and 50 minutes before she finished two sets of city tasks.
Xia Mo only had two words to describe this: numb.
Seeing that the opening ceremony was about to begin, she had no choice but to put down the third group of tasks and prepare to go back to the city to log off. Unexpectedly, at this moment, countless murderous auras suddenly attacked!
Sensed by danger, she immediately took a big step to the side.
As soon as she jumped out, a deep pit was instantly created where she was standing due to various skills!
In the woods more than ten meters away, several remote people were stunned.
"What a quick reaction! He was able to predict this!"
"Does she have eyes in the back of her head? She avoided us even at such a distance."
"As expected of the world's number one expert..."
"Tsk, so what? She doesn't understand the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind. She messed with the wrong person, and she'll suffer the consequences later."
Several people were communicating in low voices, but they didn't notice that Xia Mo, who was not far away, had disappeared.
When one of them reacted and was about to shout to warn, a group attack skill had already landed on their heads.
Everyone's health bar dropped by one third on the spot.
The leader was horrified and quickly warned his teammates to activate the damage-free skills. However, just as he opened his mouth and before he could utter a word, another light purple light fell from the sky.
A scream even more panicked than before was heard.
"Ah, Boss, I'm running out of blood. Should I take medicine or retreat?"
"Her attack was so fierce that it broke my defense in an instant! What should I do, Boss?!"
The man called the boss looked at everyone's current health, then looked at his own health bar which was also very low, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The star official is good at violent output, but which star official can have such a strong output as her?
There are 5 ranged fighters in total. I won’t talk about how sophisticated their equipment is, but they are definitely not lagging behind. Moreover, in order to prevent her attacks in advance, he specially added a [Damage Reduction] attribute to his armor. Who could have expected that the damage reduction could not withstand her bombardment!
If it weren't for this damage reduction, he would have been dead long ago.
Feeling how fierce the attack of the person in front of him was, he couldn't help but feel fearful and immediately raised his hand, signaling everyone to retreat.
Xia Mo stopped chasing.
However, seeing the five people fleeing in panic, she curled her lips slightly, turned back to the city, and logged off.
*
The opening ceremony was held on the playground.
Xia Mo looked at the energetic faces and felt as if he himself was becoming younger.
Large, shady trees were planted around the playground, and bright sunshine poured down from the sky, casting mottled shadows on the ground. These details and beautiful scenery that had never caught her attention before, now that she saw them again, she seemed to be unable to see enough and admired them greedily.
People are just so strange.
I never pay attention to what I have. Only when I lose it, I know how to cherish it.
"Xia Mo, what are you standing there for? Come in quickly, the ceremony is about to begin."
Someone patted her shoulder gently. She turned around and found it was Long Yue.
He smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."
The three-hour ceremony was a torture for most students. Halfway through, Xia Mo heard people in front, behind, and around him starting to chat secretly.
"Which guild are you from? What are the benefits like?"
"Hey buddy, what level are you? Are you interested in teaming up with us tonight?"
"Want to come and explore the level 20 dungeon? I can take you guys tonight."
…
There are various discussions, most of which revolve around the hottest holographic game at the moment, "Protoss".
Xia Mo slightly curved his eyebrows, then came back to his senses and continued to listen to the principal's speech on the podium.
As soon as the ceremony was over, Xia Mo didn't even eat. He directly opened the nutrient solution he had prepared in his pocket, gulped it down, and went straight to the holographic room.
I went online and took on the third set of city tasks. After stumbling for half an hour, I finally completed the tasks.
When she was packing her backpack, she saw the key that had been lying in the compartment for a long time, and her eyebrows suddenly moved slightly.
The level 20 special copy of the Tomb City, a map that players had tried every possible way to open but still couldn't, now all she needed to do was insert and turn the key to open it.
Speaking of the origin of this key, Xia Mo found it outrageous.
Such an important clue was not distributed to players through tasks, but was randomly placed on the mutated stone beast in the Rittor Canyon.
If she hadn't had good eyesight and happened to discover the talent scroll she wanted at the bottom of the Ritor Canyon, and happened to encounter the giant stone beast, and finally happened to knock it down with the last drop of blood, she would never have been able to obtain the mysterious key to open the copy.
I can only say that the authorities are really too shameless, always trying to find ways to make things difficult for players.
Recovering her thoughts, she opened the private chat box and sent a message to Qingshui who was also online.
[Mo Se: Can you gather 25 people in the guild tonight?]
The other end replied quickly: [25 people? Group dungeon?]
[Mo Se: Yes, a special dungeon, Tomb City. I plan to let everyone go there to test the waters tonight.]
This was her first time, and she needed to explore as she went along. In addition, the members of Qingyaozhishang had never collaborated on such a large scale, so there would definitely be friction in the process. Therefore, she did not expect to succeed in one go.
Opposite party: [Okay, I’ll go ask]
Qingshui was very efficient. In less than half a minute, he had informed everyone in the guild of the news.
Several familiar IDs quickly responded in the group.
[Laughing until my face collapses: A 25-man raid? This is the first time I've heard of a raid of this scale. Interesting! Add me!]
[Latiao Xiaohuahua: Me too! +1]
[Yun Yao: And me~]
[Ripe Tomato: How can I be left out of this dungeon-related thing? Hehe, here I come!]
…
After waiting for a few minutes, Xia Mo counted and found that there were 24 people who responded, with one more missing.
Looking at the current number of people online in the guild, there are 29 people in total, and 5 of them have not responded yet.
The administrator, Salad with Meat Sauce, personally tagged them: [Friends, we're still short of one dungeon. Is anyone free tonight?]
After being publicly named, those who had been hiding could no longer remain silent, so they came out to explain.
[Sorry everyone, I want to kill some monsters today, so I won’t go to the dungeon.]
My friends and I have an appointment to go on an adventure in the sea.
[My potion tasks have been piling up for several days, and I want to clear them today]
Everyone has their own reasons, which makes it difficult to mix the salad with the meat sauce.
Seeing this, Xia Mo replied in the group: [It’s okay, I’ll use my battle pet to fill the missing spot.]
Everyone knew that her battle pet was a divine beast with attack power as powerful as hers. Sala thought about it and felt that it should be possible. She asked Qingshui and after getting the latter's consent, she immediately gathered everyone together.
The guild headquarters is located in a separate map. If members want to return to the guild, they can find the special NPC in the royal city to teleport.
Members scattered in various places were quickly teleported back to the guild one by one, and Xia Mo was no exception.
After joining Qingyaozhishang, she had never been to the inside of the guild. Looking at this slightly simple base, she was a little uncomfortable for a while because she was used to seeing upgraded bases.
Seeing her looking around curiously, Qingshui walked over to her with a smile: "You're not used to going back to the guild yet, are you?"
Xia Mo smiled, but didn't answer directly. Instead, he half-jokingly said, "I think I'll get used to it after the guild moves into the base~"
There are 10 guild levels in total. Guilds at level 3 and below are not located in the base, but in separate servers provided by the system and are protected by the system.
Anyone who is not a guild member cannot enter, nor can they initiate or accept guild declarations of war. This is somewhat similar to a new player protection period.
However, after reaching level 4 or higher, the system will no longer protect the guild. The guild must move off the server and purchase plots of land at their own expense. Guilds that fail to purchase plots of land within the specified time limit will be forcibly disbanded by the system.
Currently, Qingyaozhishang is only at level 2, and there are only 43 members in total, so they are divided into separate servers.
So Xia Mo's answer also meant to hint to Qingshui that he should quickly expand and strengthen the guild.
Qingshui looked at her and smiled gently: "That day will come."
After the team assembled, Qingshui handed over the command to her in front of everyone: "Mo Se has rich dungeon experience and has achieved first kills many times. This time I will hand over the command to her. I hope everyone will obey her command."
It is impossible that those who went straight into Qingyao were unaware of Mo Se's abilities. Everyone had no objection and responded in unison.
15 minutes later, they arrived at the map closest to the Tomb City - [Tangu Desert]
With the help of the full moon in the sky, they walked forward on the soft sand. When they climbed over a small sand dune, they suddenly saw several flashes of swords and sabers in front of them, and then they heard the special effects sounds of skills being released and bombings.
"Oh my god, there are people fighting so late at night? These people are really energetic." The mature Fan was surprised.
"It's not a fight, but a fight for the qualification to enter the Tomb City." Xia Mo retorted calmly.
The Tomb City is not a regular copy, but a special copy. After the player clears it for the first time, it will become a normal map.
Therefore, only the team that enters for the first time can get the reward.
In those days, many players fought fiercely outside the Tomb City in order to grab this qualification.
It’s a pity that they don’t have the key, so no matter how hard they try, it’s useless.
Xia Mo's time was precious, and she couldn't just sit there and wait for the two teams to finish fighting. So she narrowed her eyes and told the others to lie down on the sand dune and hide their breath. She then slid down the slope beside her easily and ran straight into the darkness.
No one knew what she was going to do. They just watched her disappear from their sight, too nervous to move.
Xia Mo knew those two teams.
One comes from the troubled times, the other one belongs to the world, both of them are well-known big guilds in the previous life.
Xia Mo was not surprised at all that people from their two guilds could find the Tomb City.
The two teams were fighting fiercely when suddenly, a group of huge black shadows rushed out from a corner.
"Shengge, it's the Dune Scorpion! A level 25 monster!" someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
The male elementalist named Shengge frowned and said, "Didn't we clear the monsters already? Why are there still some?"
"I don't know. I did send my brothers over here an hour ago to clear out the monsters. Logically, there shouldn't be any around here!"
Dune Scorpions have hard shells and higher defense than other monsters of the same level. They also like to appear in groups and are very difficult to deal with.
He hadn't anticipated such a surprise. He gritted his teeth and gave new orders: "Melee team 2, retreat and help hold off the scorpion. Ranged team 2, back off and stop fighting the enemy. Come deal with the monster. Remember to be careful of the stinger; don't get stung."
On one side was Zongheng Sihai who was competing with them for the qualification to enter the Tomb City, and on the other side was a sudden group of monsters. Shengge didn't want to give up just like that, so he had to send a group of people out to deal with the poisonous scorpions.
The people in Team 2 were just able to deal with the oncoming poisonous scorpions, but Team 1 was short of manpower and it became difficult for them to fight against the people from Zonghengsihai.
Seeing that the situation was favorable, Zonghengsihai immediately ordered his troops to launch a fierce counterattack!
The people of Luanshi Shengge gradually couldn't hold on any longer: "Shengge, the people on the other side haven't put any effort into fighting the Poison Scorpion. Why don't we stop fighting and go after Zongheng Sihai first!"
Aren’t they just poisonous scorpions? Just let them run around in the middle. At most, you can drink some medicine to hold them back. It won’t be too late to deal with them after you’ve dealt with the people who traveled all over the world.
The team members thought so, but the leader Shengge refuted with a sullen face: "No, these scorpions' tail stings are very fast and poisonous. A sting will cause paralysis, and paralysis requires special medicine to relieve it. We don't have much antidote with us this time, so we can't withstand it."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw another wave of poisonous scorpions rushing towards him from the front.
Shengge's brows and eyes were so gloomy that ink seemed to be dripping out of them.
Damn, where did these monsters come from!
There was no time to delve into their origins. He gritted his teeth, weighed the pros and cons, and had to give the order: "Everyone, save your lives and retreat!"
The group immediately stopped and quickly withdrew from the battle.
Seeing this, Zongheng Sihai's people were so happy that they couldn't help themselves: "Sihai, you are really smart. You shouldn't have divided your energy to deal with those monsters. Shengge must be a fool. He actually asked the people from Team 2 to fight the monsters. Now they can't hold on and have to run for their lives. This is so embarrassing, hahahaha!"
Sihai was very pleased with the members' flattery. He narrowed his brows, smiled complacently, and was about to give the order to clear out the monsters when he heard several screams from behind.
"ah--!"
"President! We're paralyzed!"
Sihai frowned, his tone rather impatient: "Can't you just ask the nanny to treat it?"
Two nurses and a warlock stepped forward, their expressions all grim. "We've treated Si Hai, but the system says we need a special antidote to remove the poison."
What? !
Sihai's eyebrows arched in disbelief. "Isn't it just a level 25 monster? And you need an antidote potion? Does anyone have one?"
Collective silence.
While they were talking, people in the team fell down one after another due to paralysis.
Sihai's face looked extremely ugly. At this moment, he finally understood why Shengge on the opposite side would rather give up the tomb city and escape with his men.
There are 25 of them in total. If they all collapsed here due to paralysis, I wonder how much damage it would cause to the guild!
I had no choice but to give up and order the survivors to mount their mounts and leave. As for those who fell, they could only resurrect and return to the city on their own.
In just 5 minutes, the two teams that were fighting fiercely disappeared without a trace.
On the sand dunes, the members of Qingyaozhishang, who watched the entire scene, were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Not to mention that they didn't know where those poisonous scorpions came from, they clearly saw Mo Se leading them here from other places!
Some of them saw the Mosela monster for the first time, and their eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.
Having people pull monsters remotely was unheard of before they joined Qingyao.
What's more, they had to pull a group of monsters higher than their own level in the dark. They had no idea how strong the operation required was to do it.
On the other hand, for Ripe Tomato, Laughing So Hard That Their Faces Are Paralyzed and others, although this was not the first time, they knew that no matter how many times they saw it live, they would always be shocked by her sharp movements!
