Chapter 15 The Art of Explosion
【Official announcement of "Ten Continents" version 1.1.2】: 【Thank you very much for your support. Due to the limited server capacity, we will release 5 more internal test quotas.

"This game is ruined!"
After turning off the announcement that suddenly popped up in front of him, Wang Ergou tightened the rope around his waist while cursing.
This is the third time everyone has tried.
Although tying the players to the tree was somewhat useful, it was not very useful. The black tornado only took a dozen extra seconds and even threw the tree and the people out.
The second time, at Zhao Qing's suggestion, everyone tied themselves to the tree near the Huanggong Temple and did not cut down the tree. They thought that this way they would not be blown away, but it turned out to be useless - the several exposed tree pits afterwards mercilessly mocked everyone's assumptions.
At this point, the task was basically impossible to complete, so everyone turned to studying steam engines - this was Wang Ergou's obsession after he questioned whether the game was too realistic.
However, it is not so easy to make a steam engine by hand, so the ambition of the four-man team changed from making a steam engine by hand to making a generator by hand, and then took a few steps back to making a light bulb by hand. Of course, the actual result was that it was barely successful until they finally decided to make black powder by hand - if the power of the black powder made by everyone was not taken into account.
After the success of Black Powder, everyone agreed to try the hidden mission again the next day, which was the fourth day of the server opening.
To this end, the four of them dug up all the spiritual plants and herbs within a radius of several kilometers and sold them, and then used the purchased materials to prepare tons of black gunpowder. In the words of Wang Ergou, "If we can't beat us, can't we just blow us up?" and "I don't believe that we can't blow up that dilapidated temple and still not bring out the BOSS."
Indeed, anyone who works hard on a mission for three days without seeing the BOSS's face will be a little frustrated.
Today is the fourth day of the server opening. It is said that there will be an update tomorrow morning, and 5 new players will be added. In order to prove their "senior" status, most players are working hard or meditating.
In reality, let alone meditation and cultivation, anyone who can sit there quietly without touching electronic products such as mobile phones and computers for more than an hour is a god. However, the game "Ten Continents" allows people to do it, and this requires us to mention its original "sixth sense" and "seventh sense".
The so-called "sixth sense" is somewhat similar to the popular concept on Blue Planet, except that its name in this world is "spiritual perception", which means a kind of "feeling" of self-pregnancy and warning of the outside world. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the spiritual perception.
The "seventh sense" is completely different from the seventh sense in a certain religion on Blue Star, and it itself is not called the "seventh sense". In the master's teaching activities at 8 o'clock every night, Baili Shuang has talked about this concept many times. Its real name is "inner sense". Usually, the feelings caused by organs and physiological functions such as fatigue, hunger and thirst that people feel are called "inner sense". During the practice, the spiritual energy circulates in the body and cleanses the internal organs, which will produce an extremely comfortable feeling, which is simply "very comfortable".
This "cool" feeling is no less than the boost of dopamine, so it makes players sit still for a rare time.
Just like some people hate fitness, but there are also a lot of people who are addicted to the "comfortable" feeling after fitness. The same is true for cultivation. Some players feel bored and tired of sitting there and operating their spiritual energy, but there are also players who enjoy the process very much.
However, even though many players are addicted to cultivation, the number one in the player cultivation ranking is still Zhao Qing (Zhu Tu Meng Jin). It is said that this is because the NPC has a high favorability towards her and often gives her private lessons. This is why she has not fallen behind in cultivation even though she has been following Wang Ergou and the others for several days without doing her proper work. This has made many players jealous.
At this time, Zhao Qing was getting together with Wang Ergou, Han Tiaotiao and the Jade Emperor to make final preparations.
"Let's review it one last time. Old Han is fast, so he should go in and throw the explosives, and then throw the fire ignition talisman into place. If he's too late, the emperor will come. If we can't blow up the Huanggong Temple, I will be the third one to rush in to attract attention, and the second sister will use the speed talisman to find a way to get something out. OK?"
Several people made hand gestures, and Han Tiaotiao even subconsciously made the classic skill pre-swing action of the character he often used when playing Saint's Glory, eager to try. However, there was no familiar spear in the hand behind him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, close the door! Let Lao Han go!"
"roll!"
Following Wang Ergou's unhappy command, Han Tiaotiao rushed out like an arrow and rushed towards the stone temple.
He ran faster and faster, and at the same time, a familiar black gale gradually gathered in the open space in front of the stone temple.
By the time Han Tiaotiao approached the stone temple, the black wind had formed into a huge tornado and was rolling towards him.
Then, Han Tiaotiao kept taking out strangely shaped paper bags from his game backpack and threw them towards the stone temple one after another.
Some of the paper packages were not wrapped tightly enough and strange black powder was scattered all over the ground, but most of them were thrown around the stone temple, and two were even thrown into the stone temple.
This scene was naturally seen by Wang Ergou and the others, and they couldn't help but feel excited.
"Old Han is indeed the fastest man!"
Wang Ergou started teasing in the team channel, and Han Tiaotiao couldn't help but yelled in mid-air -
“Get lost!!”
Because he shouted so quickly, it sounded a bit like "quack", which made everyone laugh even harder.
The laughter and joy did not delay the four-member team's plan. Seeing that Han Tiaotiao failed to throw the fire-starting talisman, the Jade Emperor shook his wrists and said, "It's time for the Emperor to take action!"
"Emperor, it's up to you! Close the door! Release the Emperor!"
As Wang Ergou finished speaking, the Jade Emperor also rushed out. He wrapped the fire-starting talisman outside the stone and rushed in from the side to the stone temple. He threw the fire-starting talisman into the pile of gunpowder just as the tornado swept him up into the sky.
"boom--"
With a loud bang, flames shot up into the sky in front of the stone temple. The sound of the explosion could be heard from several miles away. Even the players in the nearby trees were discussing what had happened on the world channel.
According to a conservative estimate, the total weight of the explosive packs thrown by Han Tiaotiao at that time was at least more than 100kg. Although the power of the black gunpowder produced by the four-man team was discounted due to reasons such as imprecise proportions, the energy released by its explosion was enough to blow up an ordinary two-story building, not to mention this small temple built of stones.
Several thick white smoke shot up several feet in succession, like clusters of huge white mushrooms. The smell of sulfur after the explosion even quickly spread to the bushes where Wang Ergou and Zhao Qing were!
