April 10th, my last day in New York.
After watching a musical on Broadway in the evening, Ren Suo had to fly to Los Angeles early the next morning, so he could finally have a good night's rest.
But what made Ren Suo a little uneasy was that he didn't know what Gu Yueyan and Ren Xingmei said to each other, or maybe they didn't say anything. Anyway, the look in Qiao Muyi's eyes all day long always made Ren Suo a little frightened - he seemed to see a female devil who was playing tricks on everyone.
Ren Suo originally wanted to ask Dong Chengling to protect him, but he found that Dong Chengling was also looking at him with subtle eyes.
Even Lin Xianyu suddenly came over and patted him on the shoulder, saying with a look of pity:
"Brother Ren, come on, you're still young, there will be no problem! It's just a few Meituan midnight snack orders, you can definitely feed the customers!"
"Midnight snack? What midnight snack?" Ren Suo pretended not to understand what Lin Xianyu said.
He felt that he had found the culprit who led Gu Yueyan astray.
However, Ren Suo, who has five girlfriends, has long been aware of this.
Although he didn't know what their conspiracy was, it would be a good idea to get a good rest and recharge his energy. Therefore, Ren Suo planned to finish the third chapter of "Tomorrow's Disaster" and go to bed tonight.
First of all, of course, we will conduct "open recruitment"!
With the support of "the sponsorship of the Lord of the Stars", Ren Suo can recruit a full 100,000 people this time!
What does 100,000 people mean? The current monk corps only has more than 20,000 people!
Although the number of recruits has increased tenfold, Ren Suo knows that it is unlikely to recruit 10 high-level monks, but... there should be at least six or seven high-level monks, right?
However, Ren Suo still had only one echo tag to choose from. After a brief thought, Ren Suo resolutely chose "Natural Disaster"!
The amount of milk may overflow, the defense may overflow, but the output will never be too little!
Before drawing the cards, Ren Suo had naturally gone to his girlfriends to replenish his magic... and borrow their luck!
He even didn't let Xiaojiu and Lin Xianyu go!
You know what, when Ren Suo was touching Lin Xianyu's little head, he felt like he was really replenishing his magic and borrowing luck. His palm had a heavy touch, as if he had plundered something from Lin Xianyu.
When Ren Suo said this, Lin Xianyu thought about it and said indifferently: "Sorry, I haven't washed my hair for a few days."
She paused, then added, "I'm lazy."
Although it was free, Ren Suo still said that the user experience was extremely poor.
"Successfully recruited 99,998 fourth-rank monks!"
Ren Suo was a little discouraged—he had only recruited two high-level monks.
Could it be that he failed to borrow luck and instead had his luck ruined by Lin Xianyu?
However, when Ren Suo carefully read the intelligence information of the two monks, his face suddenly changed.
"We have found a seventh-turn monk!"
"I am no longer a tool, but a person who lives up to his name."
"The seventh-turn cultivator, Yanyue Azure Dragon Changsheng, comes here to ask for advice."
"Eternal Life, Calamity Monk, Long Range Position, Arrangement Cost 20 Points"
"Attack: Strong, Defense: Weak, Attack Range: 3 Squares"
"Feature: Non-human: All non-human monks' attack power increased by 10%."
"Hedao Magic Spell: Spring and Autumn Sword: Changsheng has completely mastered the unique skills of the former Martial Saint. The sword energy he sends out will penetrate everything and cause armor-piercing damage to all units in the attack line."
"Trust: 0%"
"He Dao Cultivation: Fourth Turn 0%"
…
"We have found an eighth-rank monk!"
"Sometimes, I would think of someone for no reason. He once gave me hope for tomorrow, but he never appeared in my tomorrow."
"The eighth-rank monk, Water Moon Fairy Wangshu, has revived."
"Wangshu, Calamity Monk, Ranged Combat Position, deployment cost 31 points"
"Attack: Strong, Defense: Weak, Attack Range: 3 Squares"
"Feature: Water Moon Flowing Light: Can attack three enemy units at the same time."
"Second characteristic: (activated after 8th transformation)"
"The Daoist Spell: Qin's Moon: After thousands of years of cultivation, Fairy Shuiyue has accumulated a huge amount of moon energy. With the help of the fairy energy, she will explode with stellar-level destructive damage. The next 8 attacks will become wide-area all-round attacks, and cause 225% critical damage."
"Trust: 0%"
"He Dao Cultivation: Fourth Turn 0%"
They actually picked out this most popular monster combination at the moment!
After the first episode of "The Door of Truth", the whole world knows these two monsters from Xuan Kingdom: Changsheng and Wangshu!
Although Ren Suo was a little disappointed that he only drew two high-level monks from the recruitment of 100,000 people, the fact that he was able to draw the eighth-level monk Wangshu was enough to make him very happy.
Not to mention that Changsheng's characteristic "Non-Human" can just strengthen himself and Wangshu, greatly improving their tactical value.
As for Wangshu's own characteristics and Hedao spells, they were both upper-middle level among the eight ranks, second only to You Jian and Zak. His practical value was even greater than that of "Chen Liao" and "Haska" who had been recruited before. There was really nothing for Ren Suo to complain about.
However, what surprised Ren Suo the most was not the tactical value of these two people, but their... daily value.
Suddenly, a man and a woman appeared in the monks' base. The man was tall, pale and thin, wearing a white shirt and jeans, with white hair. He looked like a street thug, and the children were so scared that they couldn't help but stay away from him.
The woman was wearing a wide-sleeved flowing dress, and she looked ethereal and gentle, like a fairy from a fairy tale. The children almost rushed up to her and surrounded her and acted coquettishly.
Changsheng and Wangshu, they were both adults in 1999!
If you think about it carefully, they are not ordinary people, but monsters who are at least two thousand years old. Time cannot restrain them at all.
But Changsheng would be fine, but I didn’t expect that he would like this kind of white-haired Shamatte style in the millennium.
But Ren Suo remembered that the Wangshu he had seen was a man, while the Wangshu that appeared in the base was a woman...
Either these two Wangshus are not the same person at all, or because her spiritual energy had not yet been revived in 1999, the Wangshu that appears now is her original version.
However, Wangshu is also a female after the Hedao form, which means that Wangshu changed back in 2049... Is the Earth Spirit so good at playing?
Wangshu's words also confirmed Ren Suo's guess: "Supreme Lord of 2049, thank you for awakening me from my endless slumber. Wangshu is willing to be your sharp blade and fight to protect our homeland."
Wangshu is indeed the initial version of the Supreme Being who has just been awakened.
Changsheng looked at the Supreme Being with an uncertain look, and found a seat in the base without saying a word. He might feel ashamed of his inability to resist the call of the Supreme Being, but he still tacitly agreed that he was willing to obey the command of the Supreme Being.
Wangshu added: "Wangshu will fight for his homeland at all costs, but Wangshu has an unwelcome request. I wonder if the almighty Supreme Being can fulfill it..."
The Supreme Being: "I know what you want. You will see him soon."
The current Supreme Lord is no longer a younger brother who cowers before the Lord of the Stars, but the monk who leads a legion of monks to fight across the universe and the savior of the solar system!
Your words are the laws of heaven!
Changsheng, who dared to defeat the cultivator of Ren family head-on, did not dare to lose his temper in front of him; Wangshu, who would communicate with the Xuan Kingdom Countermeasures Bureau on an equal footing in the future, was also very cautious when talking to him!
After receiving the promise from the Supreme Being, Wangshu showed a happy expression. Without any doubt, he said with gratitude: "Wangshu is willing to die for his homeland!"
The Supreme Being: "The cultivation technique "Transformation Technique" you studied yourself has many mistakes and omissions. I am willing to perfect this technique for you, but you need to help me with daily affairs as a price. Are you willing? In addition, you need to pass on the perfected "Transformation Technique" to non-humans who need it, such as Changsheng."
Wangshu raised his head suddenly: "Wangshu is willing!"
The game pops up a prompt: "Do you want to spend 155 fantasy experience crystals to raise Wangshu's Hedao cultivation to the seventh level?"
Ren Suo blinked.
Wait, if he remembered correctly, when improving his Dao cultivation, future cultivators would receive future echoes.
Even the children can receive many memories. Xiao Zhaohuo even knows who his wife will be in the future. Wangshu will definitely receive more.
In other words, if Ren Suo used the Dream Experience Crystal to feed Wangshu to the seventh level 0%, she would most likely be able to obtain the cultivation method from the future from the future echo...
During the whole process, the Supreme Being actually did nothing!
After all, Ren Suo was certain to feed Wangshu to the eighth level, and the Supreme Being actually regarded the gifts as rewards and deceived the inexperienced Wangshu into signing an unequal contract!
Ren Suo criticized the Supreme Being's character and wisdom while choosing "yes".
When Wangshu was fed to the seventh level 0%, she was slightly stunned for a moment, then bowed and thanked: "Thank you for the reward, Supreme One."
Ren Suo suspected that Wangshu already knew something, but since he was under someone else's roof, he had to bow his head and could only follow the Supreme Being's wishes.
After all, he couldn't defeat the Supreme Being, so what else could he do except to endure the grievance and compromise?
At first glance, it seemed that the Supreme One was using a conspiracy; but in fact, it was an open conspiracy!
The Supreme Being: "Well, you will teach Changsheng the Transformation Technique, and then you two will take care of the children in the base."
Wangshu and Changsheng were stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at the 120,000 little monsters in the largest nursery on earth.
God knows how the Supreme Being took care of these little monsters and made them fat and white.
After dealing with this matter, Ren Suo glanced at the critical value of 213 points and continued to brush the Panda dungeon.
不过莲江熊猫副本已经打够五次，「馋熊猫之香（5/5）」集齐，于是任索将目光投向下一个受害者——长白山熊猫，消耗临界值30点，熊猫总数8万只。
皑皑白雪的长白山林里，五万头抱着酒坛子的熊猫们醉醺醺地倒在树枝上、山地上、冰湖上。
有几头冬眠的东北棕熊也被找出来，脸青鼻肿地成为熊猫们的床，屈辱地被它们睡在下面。
看来这群东北熊猫相当凶悍，然而任索现在可是有十二万大军，还有小任座这个最强虐菜王者。
排兵布阵后，任索很快就发现，长生和望舒在地球上虽然没有小任座的四转战力，但居然也有三转左右的破坏力，打得这群东北熊猫酒翻人倒！
天生地养的妖魔鬼怪，在地球上有战力加成！
「战役胜利」
「契约80000只熊猫」
「获得5000枚梦幻体验水晶」
「获得酒熊猫之气（5/5）」
「酒熊猫之气（5/5）：酒熊猫被击败后，它们身上的酒气会残留在战胜者身上，战胜者被酒味刺激，在战场上能发挥更强实力（攻击力+10%）」
‘在你最难过的时候，只有喝杯酒和大块吃肉能让你稍微舒服些。某种意义上说酒肉才是永恒的好朋友，因为它们从不弃你而去，所以世界上伤心的胖子越来越多’——醉醺醺的酒熊猫们找馋熊猫们蹭吃时找的理由之一。」
「本地熊猫少于50只，濒临灭绝。因为畏惧你的武力，它们主动离开此地，寻找新的栖息地繁殖（此副本永久关闭）。」
「你们在熊猫之中的声望大幅上升。」
看着战利品数据，任索若有所思地点点头。
他们一次过打爆这个熊猫副本，任索并不惊讶。
毕竟修士军团多了十万新修士，这些修士都是要人手一只熊猫的，现在他们看见遍地熊猫自然是挑一只抱回家。
但任索没想到，当他们一次过清空熊猫副本后，也自动集齐该副本的BUFF奖励。本来「酒熊猫之气」这个效果，应该是需要玩家打五次副本才能集齐的。
而且梦幻体验水晶的数量也明显多了两三倍，虽然比完整打五次副本要少一点，但消耗的临界值只有五分之一，任索还能有什么意见？
任索继续挑选熊猫副本，这次他选择的挑战对象是梁山泊熊猫，消耗临界值36点，熊猫总数13万只。
梁山泊熊猫非常强，有骑兵（骑着熊猫的熊猫）、长矛兵（用竹子的熊猫）、投掷手（投竹子的熊猫）和歌舞团（吹笛子的熊猫）。
但这个版本里，小任座是无敌的。
任索结结实实打了5盘，清空了临界值，才集齐了梁山泊的「贼熊猫之义」。
「贼熊猫之义（5/5）：贼熊猫被击败后，它们身上的义气会残留在战胜者心中。战胜者被义气所鼓舞，在战场上能发挥出更强的配合战术（多人攻击同一目标时造成伤害+10%）」
‘风风火火闯九州，该出手时就出手’——将屁股藏在草丛里的贼熊猫，阴测测地举起长矛捅向敌人的屁股。」
临界值到底了，任索点击一下「临界值」旁边的「+」号，看看能不能再加一次临界值。
天女主宰忽然冒出来：「哎呀，我不能连续发动万法风暴，就算你给再多功勋我也没法帮你拖延了。真的，就算你给999点功勋，我也做不到。」
谁会给你999点功勋啊……
「加油，不就是几个方舟军团，你肯定能让它们宾至如归的！」天女主宰鼓励一句后就消失了。
任索对此也早有预料，游戏不可能让他像十里坡剑神那样将修士军团喂养到最强状态才去迎战。
现在已经是养成模式的极限，他必须要开始第三章的宇宙战争。
但在此之前，任索要先将一万多枚「梦幻体验水晶」用光。
首先是「龙王赵火」，任索估算了一下，发现要喂四千枚水晶才能将他喂到八转。
也就是说任索这一万多枚水晶，也就只能喂出四五个八转。
任索暗暗叹了口气，选择消耗4420枚水晶。
龙王赵火，晋升八转！
合道界面里的龙王赵火身上燃起烈焰，一条金龙虚影萦绕身边，他狠狠将一杆黑铁大枪拄在地面，帅到显卡爆炸。
「纵使阳光会背离太阳，庄稼会离弃大地，方向也离弃了飞箭，但我绝不会离弃你。我就是你的千军万马，你的不落要塞，让我们一起，点燃这个世界吧！」
「特性·大龙王天尊势：可以拦截两个敌方单位，同时所有对拦截单位造成伤害（九转后强化）。」
「第二特性·武尊：全体攻击力+20%，龙王攻击时有15%几率造成450%伤害（九转后强化）。」
九转修士龙王赵火，终于开始露出他的爪牙。
晋升八转后所浮现的第二特性，令他的战术价值大幅提升，整天伤害输出提高20%。
而暴击伤害，也令他的作战能力大幅增强。
与此同时，龙王赵火也多了一个新的叩天门：「是否消耗10颗仙源石叩响九转天门？」
10颗！
任索现在都没有10颗仙源石！
任索顿时打消了一鼓作气将龙王赵火提高到九转的念头，着手提升其他八转修士。
首先要提升的，自然是被任索认定为最强八转的游戬与扎克。
游戬依旧穿着那件平平无奇的运动服，两只手插裤袋，懒洋洋地坐在沙发上，眯着眼睛睡觉。
只是游戬身后出现一个身穿帝袍，手持长剑的金色幻影，让任索还以为游戬八转后会变成目前非常流行的替身使者呢。
「立誓今生尊你为王，用我热血为你封疆。走吧，我们的征途，是星辰大海！」
「第二特性·社稷之剑：战场上战友越多，布衣剑帝将会显著增强，最多增强至350%攻击力、防御力、恢复速度，布衣剑帝造成的伤害将全额转化为治疗效果平分给所有军团。」
任索挠挠头，游戬的第一特性虽然没有加强，但第二特性非常恐怖——人越多就越厉害，还自带群体吸血。
只是游戬你人设崩了啊！不是说好唯我独尊的吗，怎么以臣子身份舔人了？
不过，谁有这个资格被游戬舔呢？
任索回忆了一下他在天京研究所的见闻，以及游戏里得到的情报，很快就得出一个结论——
他应该是在舔无上至尊吧。
毕竟他在万里长城好像谁都看不起呢。
而扎克就正常许多，合道界面里圣光垂下，羽毛飞落，赞歌奏起。他于光中诞生，身批天使战甲，展开七十二光翼，左手光剑，右手盾牌，宛如骗钱页游里的氪金玩家。
「很多人都能轻易地说出宽恕二字，只是因为他们并不懂仇恨。如果有人祈求原谅，我与我的剑愿意送他们去见他们的神。」
「第二特性·人间天使：每击杀一个敌人，为任意军团附加一层‘勇气赞歌’，每层‘勇气赞歌’附加2%攻击力，2%防御力。每个军团最多只能叠加5层‘勇气赞歌’。」
任索重重呼出一口气。
天使扎克的第二特性，完全不逊色于游戬的第二特性！
不愧是东西方的两大超凡者，他们的面板几乎能比拟龙王赵火了！
现在任索剩下的水晶，还能再喂出一个八转，但喂不出两个。
任索思考片刻，决定将这个名额让给赵火老婆，天灾修士樊梵。
从攻略上来说，这个名额理应让给输出；从情义上来说，任索肯定要优先考虑兄弟的老婆。
最重要是，小孟、孙淑都是在人少的时候露面，现在修士军团有十二万人，17名精英修士，任索如果不加强樊梵，恐怕她会泯然于众人。
这可不行，任索要用赵火的事迹狠狠刺激一下大众：赵火不仅有三个老婆，而且三个老婆一个赛一个强！
说不定还能形成蝴蝶效应，倒逼小孟和孙淑升级到八转呢。
合道界面里的樊梵悬浮半空，墨发发梢如焰舌般飞舞，双眼藏着星火，烈焰化为她的权杖，火凤化为她的王座！
「在见你之前，我提前三小时选出最好看的衣服，化出最素雅漂亮的妆容，挑出最合适的包包。但在接机大厅看见你的时候，我心里没有期待中的那么激动，只是体温上升了0.2°C。」
「特性·不灭燎原火：不灭的火焰造成范围爆炸伤害，伤害多个敌方单位，并且点燃敌人持续造成伤害。」
「第二特性·炽魂：残兵之火会因为心情原因而导致体内窜出热能，过高的体温对她并无大碍，反而让她更加轻松掌握火焰。每施放一次‘火凤燎原’，樊梵的攻击速度会获得一层‘炽魂’，每层炽魂提高8%攻速，最多叠加4层。」
很强！
Although he does not benefit the entire army like You Jian and Zak, in terms of destructive power, Fan Fan's first and second characteristics have reached the extreme!
Group damage, ignition, and attack speed increase!
It is indeed a rare ace output player!
but……
Ren Suo looked at the introduction of "Fiery Soul" which said "heat energy bursts out of the body due to mood" and wondered if once Miss Fan got happy, her body temperature would rise and even flames would come out?
In that case... wouldn't Zhao Huo...
Ren Suo thought about it and felt that there was no need to worry about Zhao Huo. After all, Zhao Huo had such a beastly physique that ordinary flames should not be able to burn him... right?
Actually, it doesn’t matter if it’s burned to pieces, it’s not like Ren Suo is being burned to pieces.
But given their friendship, Zhao Huo would definitely seek treatment from Ren Suo.
Ren Suo felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about treating Zhao Huo's 'possibly burned parts'.
It seems that I need to get used to the 'non-contact' long-distance treatment method as soon as possible.
He sincerely hoped that the Nine-Turn Zhao Fire could last longer.
After worrying about the happy life of Zhao Huo and Miss Fan for a while, Ren Suo turned his attention back to the game.
The crystals are almost used up, and the ability props have been used to strengthen the monk army through beacon towers and watchtowers.
Everything is ready!
The third space war broke out in 1999!
