Chapter 35: Brother Gou, I have another idea
After discussion, several people decided to use the "sacrifice detection method" to define the attack range of the BOSS.
As for the candidates...
"Human detectors cost 200 wen per life, come and get a job!"
The world shouted twice, and several applications popped up in front of Wang Ergou's eyes.
This is a cool operation that the players have researched on their own. To put it simply, it requires players who are about to go offline to help act as "human detectors". There is a high probability that they will die, and after death they can go offline directly without waiting to be resurrected. Anyway, when they go online again later, they can be resurrected directly from the birth point, which can be regarded as creating a time difference.
After all, the only things you lose when you die are your handheld items and equipment. You just need to take off all your clothes—of course, you can’t take off your pants, because if you do, you’ll be locked up in a small dark room…but you can take off all other equipment and clothes! As long as you take off all your clothes and explore the way with nothing, the only negative effect after death is that you need to wait for a certain amount of resurrection CD, but—I’m about to log off, so why should I wait for the resurrection CD?
Thus, this extremely cool "way of working" came into being. The current market price is 100 Wen. If there are more players in the future, the price will probably drop. As for why Wang Ergou doubled the price... it's because the location of the BOSS is too remote, and it takes a long time to run away.
Wang Ergou quickly switched the team to team mode and let in four players at once.
"Brother Gou, report the coordinates!"
A hoarse voice immediately shouted in the group microphone.
Wang Ergou quickly posted the coordinates he had marked before his death to the team - it was quite a distance away from the birth point. Even if he used the speed talisman, the light body talisman and the wind control technique, it would still take nearly an hour, and this was calculated based on the fastest air flight speed!
The man with the broken voice was dumbfounded when he saw it, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Gou can't do it anymore, my mom is calling me to eat, you are too far away!"
Wang Ergou was very understanding: "It's okay, just retreat. I let several people in because this place is too far away, and I was afraid that some people couldn't come."
"I can't do that either. I'll just slip away."
Another player also apologized and quit, and for a moment, only two players were left.
One of the players said weakly, "Brother Gou, I can go, but the distance is really a bit ridiculous, and I don't know how to draw talismans, and I don't have any speed talismans prepared, so it will probably take a long time to fly..."
Dog brother said generously: "It's okay, you two just come to the main hall entrance, I will reimburse you for the speed talisman and the light body talisman!"
The speed talisman and the light body talisman are the most commonly used and simplest talismans. Even mortals who cannot draw Qi into the body can draw them, because the actual effect of their application does not depend much on the talisman maker, but on the user's level of cultivation. The higher the level of cultivation, the better the effect. If an ordinary mortal uses it, it may only have the effect of running faster or jumping higher.
The low cost of making talismans made its price drop to 3 wen per piece among small groups of players. It was purely the cost of paper and ink. After all, you don’t even need cinnabar to draw these two kinds of talismans, you can just use ink. If you buy the lowest quality yellow paper and ink, you can draw more than 30 pieces with 20 wen!
The Jade Emperor suddenly stopped Wang Ergou from reaching into the Qiankun bag, and said with sparkling eyes, "Wait, Brother Gou, I have another idea!"
Wang Ergou: “?”
The Jade Emperor didn't care about Wang Ergou's distrustful look at all. He asked excitedly, "Brother Gou, isn't your skill [Move]?"
Wang Ergou felt a chill on his back, but still replied, "That's right..."
The Jade Emperor's mouth instantly widened: "I remember you said last time that sticking the light body talisman on the tree made it extra easy for you to move it?"
Wang Ergou asked cautiously: "What do you want to do?"
"Well... that is to say, look, can we make something, you put a light-body charm on it, and then a group of us stand on it and you carry it?"
"?"
A question mark seemed to appear on Wang Ergou's forehead. He said in disbelief, "Are you the living devil? You guys are enjoying yourself up there while I have to run and work down there?"
The Jade Emperor continued to persuade him, "No, you can come up too. Your [Transport] is to move things through the air. For example, if you are standing on a tree, can't you move the tree through the air?"
One of the players in the team couldn't stand it anymore and said, "No, you're using a bug. You're stepping on your left foot, your right foot, and your left foot to go up to the sky? Even Newton's coffin can't hold it down!"
The Jade Emperor still did not give up: "Why not give it a try? It doesn't cost money to try anyway, and if this works, we can preserve our manpower to the maximum extent! After all, it takes time to meditate and restore mana! Besides, Dog Brother was able to play 'Sword Flying' last time! I think it can work!"
Some players also questioned: "Is [Transport] a remote skill?"
This requires an explanation. The name of the skill [Transport] is quite different from its actual function. This skill actually uses spiritual power to control the movement of objects, a bit like the feeling of Magneto. Of course, [Transport] is not limited to controlling only metals, but everything can be controlled by spiritual power, unless it is an absolutely spiritual object - at least for now, no one has encountered any absolutely spiritual objects.
God knows why the skill is called [Transport] even though it is clearly for "moving objects through the air".
In addition, although this skill has little lethality and it is very difficult to control living or spiritual objects, Wang Ergou can't even lift a rabbit, but for inanimate objects, it is as easy as using one's own arm, which is quite "pretentious".
For example, Wang Ergou once controlled several iron swords to float behind him, pretending to be a "flying sword technique", which fooled many players - in fact, he was just using the [Carrying] skill to play cosplay, which had no lethality at all. And the "flying sword" that made all the players envious and crying - at that time, the posts in the game forum exploded, and there were countless reposts. In fact, Wang Ergou found a sword with a relatively wide blade, stepped on it, and then controlled the sword to fly, pretending to be "flying sword", which, from a certain perspective, seems to be "flying sword".
So, although the Jade Emperor's proposal sounds very unreliable, but...
Jie Ran, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "It seems that it is possible?"
Jie Ran, who rarely spoke, actually supported him. The Jade Emperor immediately urged him, "Right, right! Brother Zi Ran said so, Brother Gou, just give it a try!"
Wang Ergou also knew that theoretically, the Jade Emperor’s idea did make sense and should work, but it was a bit time-consuming, and he would be the one being consumed!
However, he didn't care too much about it. It was a team game, so someone always had to pay.
So, while Wang Ergou privately chatted with a player to borrow props, he stretched out his arm to put his arm around the Jade Emperor's shoulders like a "good brother" and physically suppressed him, saying: "Hiss, stop making noise, I'm looking for Lani to borrow a bamboo raft!"
"Yeah! Lani has a raft!"
As the player with the best house built in the whole server, Lani tied a simple bamboo raft for himself, and used it to pull mud and stones from the upstream of a nearby stream - all the nearby ones had already been moved away by players doing their daily tasks.
When Lani was not using it, the ugly bamboo raft was often borrowed by other players. Lani herself was very generous and never cared about it. As long as they gave him some materials when the raft was returned, he would accept it as "rent" no matter what it was.
So, when Wang Ergou asked privately to borrow the bamboo raft, Lani didn't ask what he wanted to do with it and agreed directly.
Lani had not arrived at all at that time, and Wang Ergou, who always had a good reputation, unexpectedly suffered a setback and ruined this "precious" little bamboo raft that had passed through the hands of almost all players.
