Chapter 185 Strategy, Genius
Meng Qingyin, carrying a heavy knife, cautiously walked to the right front of the road.
Knowing that the tentacle monster might suddenly appear and attack, she dared not relax for a moment, keeping her eyes fixed on the grass.
One step, two steps...
When she was about three meters away from the grass, the white tentacle monster burst out of its body and slapped at her with a gust of wind.
Meng Qingyin immediately took a few steps back, dodging the tentacle monster's lightning strike.
"Smack!"
The tentacle slammed heavily onto the ground, leaving a crack.
Then, the tentacles began to slowly retract, as if the previous attack had exhausted all its speed, and now its movements became very sluggish.
A few seconds later, the tentacles retracted into the grass, but from Meng Qingyin's position, there was no sign of anything unusual.
She came to the grass and took a few more steps forward. The tentacle monster, which was as fast as lightning, appeared again. Meng Qingyin quickly retreated a few steps and once again perfectly dodged its attack.
The tentacles slapped the grass, crushing the grass in that spot.
The attack missed, and the tentacle monster slowly shrank back.
Meng Qingyin finally confirmed that the tentacle monster would become unusually slow after attacking—this was the perfect opportunity for the player to counterattack.
As for the range that triggers the tentacle monster's attack, we will measure it after defeating the tentacle monster.
The little one had been waiting impatiently for a while. When Meng Qingyin called out to it, it rushed forward and took care of the tentacle monster.
Meng Qingyin walked to its root.
[Congratulations on defeating the white tentacle monster! It dropped 1 500g braised pork bun. Triggering double reward, it dropped 2 500g braised pork buns.]
It's food again.
Is food the only reward for killing the tentacle monster?
Meng Qingyin picked up two bags of braised meat and bought a measuring tape from the trading hall. She then measured the distances from the base of the tentacle monster to the road crack and the grass, respectively, both of which were three meters.
It seems that the tentacle monster's attack range is 3 meters, centered on its root. As long as the player or vehicle enters this range, its attack will be triggered.
Meng Qingyin returned to the car and began to organize her findings.
Meanwhile, more and more players in the chat area were also encountering sudden attacks from the tentacle monsters.
A desperate Kunikida Doppo exclaimed, "Ugh, I'm so angry! That tentacle monster is so sneaky! There was nothing wrong with the grass, but as soon as the car drove by, it suddenly attacked and smashed my windshield! Ugh, I'm so mad!"
Mint Smoothie 233: "Yeah, that tentacle monster was disgusting. It appeared out of nowhere like a ghost and knocked off my car's rearview mirror! It was so infuriating!"
Cx330: "What's most infuriating is that it sneaked up on me and I didn't dare get out of the car to confront it. I could only suffer in silence!"
Mengmeng: "Everyone, please pay attention. The tentacle monster's attack range is only 3 meters. When the car enters within 3 meters, the tentacle monster will attack. Moreover, the tentacle monster's movements will become slower after it attacks, which is the best time to kill it."
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Wow, it's a strategy guide! Boss Mengmeng has brought the strategy guide!"
Clip-Skinny: "Thanks for the guide, Mengmeng! I'm about to take my revenge! Tremble, tentacle monster!"
Daydream: "However, I feel that the first strategy for the tentacle monster is useless. Even if we know its attack, what can we do? That thing suddenly appears like a ghost and can smash a car with one slap. We don't even have a chance to react."
Bai Shi Mo Bi: "What the person upstairs said seems to make sense. If we know the tentacle monster's location in advance, we can get out of the car and estimate a safe spot to attack. After all, as long as we dodge the tentacle monster's attacks, it's easy to counterattack it. The key is, how do we dodge the tentacle monster's attacks? Once we trigger its attack, the car will be in trouble."
Upon seeing this, Meng Qingyin frowned.
She overlooked that point.
Her car has a hazard detection function, so she can know in advance if there is a tentacle monster, and she can get out of the car to carefully probe and wait for the opportunity to fight back.
However, other players' vehicles do not have this feature.
When their car came within three meters, the tentacle monster's attack followed, and there was no way to avoid it.
You can stop the car and kill the tentacle monster, but the damage the tentacle monster does to the car is irreversible.
It won't be long before the car is totaled.
Suddenly, someone sent a message in the chat area.
Lonely Square 3: "[Image] You can do it like this: tie a bamboo pole about four meters long to the front of the car. This way, the bamboo pole will trigger the tentacle monster's attack without damaging the vehicle. Then stop the car and kill the tentacle monster!"
epersonmm: "Holy crap, are you some kind of genius?! You actually came up with such an idea!"
Qiu Xiguang: "Square Root of Three, you've been smart since you were little! I'll go buy bamboo poles right now!"
Chen Caicai 24: "Smart players already know to use bamboo poles for connection by now."
A few scattered people: "Hehe, selling bamboo poles! I originally thought cutting so many bamboo poles was useless, and I was planning to dry them and use them as firewood. Who knew bamboo poles would have such a wonderful use?"
Lazy Baby wants to happily slack off: "I have some long branches here, you guys can consider it too!"
"..."
Looking at the chat area, Meng Qingyin couldn't help but marvel once again at how quick Square Root Three's mind really was.
Doesn't this perfectly solve the problem?
Suddenly, players in the chat area were clamoring to buy all sorts of bamboo poles, branches, long sticks, and other items that were usually ignored.
With Meng Qingyin's strategy, dealing with the tentacle monster is no longer a difficult task.
Meng Qingyin looked at the chat area for a while and found that other people also received food as a reward.
Strange, is food the only reward for killing the tentacle monster?
But even if you get a lot of food, it will still spoil.
What exactly is 007's intention in doing this?
In the following time, while killing the tentacle monsters, Meng Qingyin kept an eye on the chat area, hoping to see if anyone had managed to get any supplies other than food, but no one did.
The group of six suddenly became lively.
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "I'm speechless. I fought tentacle monsters all day, and all I got was a whole box of brown rice and cornbread! Did I accidentally stumble upon a cornbread pit in my past life?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "...Your luck is truly extraordinary."
The elderly man said, "I love eating cornbread. I'll trade you a big steamed bun."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "What's there to exchange? I'll just give it to you directly. There are so many cornbread buns, I can't finish them all by myself, they'll go bad. You all help me eat some."
Chen Leying: "I don't want it, we got a lot of food today."
Upon seeing Chen Leying's message, Meng Qingyin could even imagine what she would look like when she checked the group messages.
Although Chen Leying rarely sends messages in the group, she must be paying attention to the group chat, otherwise she wouldn't have rejected it immediately.
I find Chen Leying's contrasting personality quite endearing.
Meng Qingyin smiled and thought, "Chen Leying is a very cute person at heart."
