Chapter 33 The Clown is Me
“6.”
"There are still six? No way? I remember there were still many more."
"I mean, you're awesome."
The Jade Emperor looked at Wang Ergou with a wooden face, his expression was hard to describe.
One player raised a question at the right time: "Well, if the pigs are blown to pieces, how can we sell them for money?"
Wang Ergou pondered for three seconds: "Control the equivalent?"
Another player suggested: "How about we dig a trap?"
"It will take a long time to dig out a wild boar that big!"
"Use a trip lock?"
"A wild boar that can easily knock down a dirt wall, do you think an ordinary rope would be useful?"
"Then explode?"
The Jade Emperor took a deep breath and asked helplessly: "Brothers, have you ever calculated the production cost of black powder?"
The four of them turned their heads to look at the Jade Emperor, and immediately performed a confused look on their faces: "..."
"We spent more than ten taels of silver just to buy saltpeter, and we had to sell all the spiritual plants we dug up to get the money! We also spent a lot on sulfur. Have you forgotten that we used RMB to collect a lot of spiritual plants and herbs and sold them to get enough money for the experimental materials?"
Wang Ergou defended himself in a low voice with a guilty conscience: "But, but isn't it for the purpose of defeating the BOSS of the adventure mission? Besides, twenty taels of silver is enough to make several hundred kilograms..."
"Even without counting the labor cost and time cost, a pound of black powder costs nearly 100 coins!"
Wang Ergou waved his hand confidently: "It's a good deal! It can definitely be done with just a few dozen kilograms!"
The Jade Emperor rolled his eyes and said, "We work so hard for most of the day, and each of us only gets two or three taels? We might as well go dig for spiritual herbs and plants!"
Wang Ergou got angry and said in a famous Northeastern accent: "Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me whether you want to do it or not!"
"all!"
"Then why are you talking so much! How many explosive packs do you have in your backpack?"
"Two. I remember Second Senior Sister had more. She seemed to have six!"
"Then use ours first. I still have four!"
The two men discussed and took out the explosive packs that were not so perfectly proportioned but sufficient for the time being.
Wang Ergou counted the few explosive packs left and said with some pain: "First use two to test the waters, and we'll talk later if it doesn't work!"
However, the herd of wild boars had already run away. This game is known as an AI-controlled game, and things in it will not be suspended while players discuss solutions. Therefore, the problem faced by Wang Ergou and others is to find another herd of wild boars.
This time, the group's luck was bad. They searched separately for an hour or so, but couldn't find the new herd of wild boars. Jie Ran, who tried to track the old herd of wild boars, also failed to catch up with that herd.
Jieran graduated from a non-commissioned officer school and retired from a technical post in border defense. Although he was assigned to grassroots logistics work after retirement, he has not forgotten a series of skills, and tracking a group of wild boars does not require much technical skills.
But this does not include the current situation -
He seemed to be stared at by something extremely terrifying, and a strong pressure made him almost breathless! He huddled behind a giant tree, not daring to move - his spiritual sense told him that as long as he moved, the unknown thing staring at him would make a move, and he would definitely die!
"Help!" Jieran typed in the team channel expressionlessly: "I think I triggered some plot, there's a BOSS!"
Wang Ergou's eyes lit up: "What the hell!? Could this be a fortuitous encounter?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several other players opened the map one after another, and checked Jieran's coordinates with more excitement than the other.
…
Half an hour later, Zhao Qing, who had just finished cooking, looked at Wang Ergou and the Jade Emperor who came out of the birthplace hall with dark faces in confusion and asked, "Didn't you go to kill pigs? I saw you recruiting, why are you back? Have you finished killing?"
Wang Ergou still had a sour face: "No, we have encountered a hidden plot, maybe it's another adventure..."
"Isn't this a good thing? Why do you look like that?"
Wang Ergou gnashed his teeth and said, "But we were wiped out, and I didn't turn off my sense of smell when I died."
The Jade Emperor looked even more angry and said, "I didn't do anything about it either!"
Jie Ran and the other two players on the side didn't have as much drama, but their expressions weren't looking too good either.
Zhao Qing couldn't think of what kind of death could make them look so bitter and resentful, and they were so obsessed with their "sense of smell", so she boldly guessed: "Hiss - how did you die? Did you fall into the pit?"
"Being eaten by the Nine Nether Demon, I was dissolved alive in his stinking stomach... mouth area... I can't take it anymore. I feel sick just thinking about it..."
As the Jade Emperor spoke, he held Wang Ergou and began to dry heave.
Zhao Qing looked at them sympathetically and asked, "Nine Nether Demon? Are we going to fight the Nine Nether Demon soon? Doesn't that thing only appear in the Nine Nether?"
The Nine Netherworld Demons are a general term for the demons born in the Nine Netherworld. There are countless types. There is a strict hierarchy between demons, and only strength is considered. According to their strength, there are low-level demons, medium-level demons, and true demons. Above the true demons, there are many demon lords who command the demons in the Nine Netherworld.
These basic "common sense of the other world" are taught repeatedly in the sect classes every day, but because there are very few players who listen carefully, not many people know these specific details.
In "Records of the Ten Continents", except for common animals and plants, everything else needs to be added and created by the players themselves. Among the posts that have been pinned on the official game forum for a long time, there is a post that is synchronized with the "Records of the Ten Continents" in the game.
Therefore, after identification, Wang Ergou and others could only determine that the thing that caused the annihilation of the entire team was a kind of Nine Nether Demon, but they were not sure what specific species it was.
When Wang Ergou heard Zhao Qing's question, he spread his hands and said, "I don't know, that's why I said it might be a hidden adventure!"
Zhao Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm... Do you have a screenshot of the identification? Or if you describe what the thing looks like, maybe I know it!"
"I only had time to identify it, but not to take a screenshot. That thing is definitely more powerful than that BOSS Huang Gong!" Wang Ergou said, trying to recall: "As for its appearance... I just remember it was a black mass..."
"It has no legs, but it has a tail, fins on both sides, and is black and purple in color. It has no scales on its body, but..."
The one who spoke was Ji Ran, who rarely spoke. He added hesitantly, "But I'm not sure. I seem to see a lot of eyes in his abdomen..."
"It's a demon! A demon!"
Zhao Qing said with certainty, "It is mentioned in the Nine Netherworlds Records that a demon with many eyes, a snake's tail, fish fins, a huge mouth and no teeth is an extremely cold demon!"
"Good fellow! Good fellow!" Wang Ergou looked at Zhao Qing in shock: "What the hell does Senior Sister make you learn every day!?"
“Learn everything!”
This time, not only Wang Ergou, but also the Jade Emperor and others looked at Zhao Qing with sympathy - playing a game and having to go to class to learn things, how miserable! ? "Why are you looking at me like that? I think it's very interesting! Every day in class, I listen to the stories told by the senior sister, and then she teaches me how to use spiritual power and how to practice." At this point, Zhao Qing suddenly raised his chin and announced proudly: "By the way! The senior sister said that my cultivation is almost there, and I can prepare to build my foundation in the next few days! She also said that she would personally help me protect the law and assist me in building my foundation!"
“Fuck!”
