Chapter 391 The Player Who Didn’t Let Down the Chain
Momentum is a very mysterious thing.
Among the flower growers on Blue Star, "momentum" has been very important since ancient times.
In the past, there was the method of debate of "make a strong attack at the beginning, then decline, and finally exhaust the force", and later there was the "Empty City Strategy" of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, which relied on momentum to win, which has been passed down for thousands of years and is still talked about with relish. All of these prove that "momentum" is a crucial element in military affairs.
However, in the Guixu Realm, there is no concept of such a solemn and dignified military formation with each step moving forward.
The reason is very simple. There is a huge difference in personal fighting power in this world. In the face of absolute strength, the number of people cannot make up for this difference.
For example, if there is a being who has truly attained the Dao and become a god, even if tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators are sent to fight him, there will be no surprises in the outcome - no matter how many ants there are, they cannot kill an elephant. Even African red ants can only cause minor skin injuries to the elephant.
This unequal distribution of power meant that Guixu Realm did not have the soil to breed victory by uniting a large number of people in war. Therefore, Guixu Realm did not even have the concept of "army" or "corps". The only people who accepted this concept recently were the "guard disciples" and low-level registered disciples who were used as cannon fodder, or some groups called "garrison soldiers" and "patrol soldiers" in towns where ordinary mortals lived. However, the number of these groups was very small, at most a few thousand people. In the case of the Blue Star Flower Growers, the scale would be at best a village fight, which was really not very impressive.
But the several phalanxes formed by players in Taiyin Sect this time were different. They wore exactly the same weird clothes (mission costumes), marched in unison, and followed the rhythm of the drums, moving slowly forward. They clearly did not release any real pressure or spells, but their momentum made everyone feel a little breathless.
This is the sharp blade of order and the pressure of the army. The leather boots stepped on the concrete floor, making a uniform clattering sound again and again, almost making people ignore the fact that the cultivation levels of this group of people were uneven, and most of them had not even established their foundation.
"Bang--"
“Bang, bang—”
One in front and two in the back, three rocket launchers mounted on the vehicles and clustered in the middle of the square were finally fired. The huge noise made several players around them have tinnitus, but fortunately, the benefits given by the activity task were still quite tempting, and there were no unexpected situations and no failures. This made Fang Xianyu, who had been keeping a close eye on the scene and was ready to operate a remotely controlled puppet at any time, secretly relieved.
The three rockets fired were like three golden metal pillars, falling into the distant forest in the blink of an eye. Then there was a louder roar, followed by dazzling flames, and thick smoke rose from the forest, like gray-white mushrooms.
The Dragon King of Zhenhai noticed that the disciples of the Taiyin Sect who were operating these strange things had almost no cultivation at all - there was even one who looked like he had just drawn Qi into his body. This immediately piqued his interest and he asked, "Excuse me, Sect Master Fang, what kind of magic weapons are these three?"
Fang Xianyu curled his lips and explained, "It's called 'Truth', and the model is [Spiritual Energy Type 63 107 Light Towed Rocket Launcher Type 15]. After many improvements, it is quite powerful, at least equivalent to the full force of a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage. But strictly speaking, it is not a magic weapon, nor a spiritual tool. It is a bit like a disposable spiritual talisman. To put it simply, it is a 'rocket launcher' or a 'psychic rocket launcher'. There are still some shortcomings in its use. For example, it must at least draw air into the body to use it. According to our design goal, it should be designed so that ordinary mortals can also use it."
The Dragon King's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask anxiously, "Like a disposable talisman? So, its cost is very low?"
Fang Xianyu was secretly pleased with the Sea-Suppressing Dragon King's behavior of taking the bait, but he nodded calmly and said, "If it is mass-produced, it is indeed very low. The disciple in my sect who is responsible for researching it once estimated that it is less than 300 spirit stones."
"Three hundred spirit stones!?"
"Is it really only three hundred spirit stones?!"
This time, not only did Yinglong King and Zhenhai Dragon King speak in unison, but even several members of the Quanxian tribe who had been watching quietly on the side could not help but ask out loud.
The dragon clan also uses spirit stones for transactions.
In other words, the civilized forces formed by the intelligent creatures in the Guixu Realm mostly use spirit stones as a general equivalent, and its status is equivalent to gold on the Blue Planet.
Therefore, even though the specific value of spirit stones varies due to the different development processes and technological levels among different regions, civilizations and forces, there is still a general range.
Three hundred spirit stones for one "magic weapon" is equivalent to a strike by a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. The requirement for the user is only to "draw the Qi into the body". Even if it is a one-time use, it is still a bargain!
But then Fang Xianyu said something that surprised the surrounding Dragon Clan and Quanxian Clan even more: "If we don't add the tracking function, the price can be further reduced - because we haven't yet built a production line for fully automatic engraving of tracking runes, so the manufacturing cost of this part is the highest, and it all needs to be engraved manually. If we remove the step of engraving the tracking runes, the cost of a psychic rocket launcher can even be reduced to less than 200 spirit stones."
"Can this thing be used underwater?"
The person asking the questions was an old friend of the Taiyin Sect, the patriarch of the Xiling clan of the Quanxian clan.
As the first clan to "establish diplomatic relations" with the Taiyin Sect, the Xiling clan made a lot of money from their exchanges with the Taiyin Sect.
Not only did they contract most of the metal item transactions of the Izumi ancestors, they also started an island tropical fruit orchard business with the financial and technical support of the owner of the YaYa milk tea shop, Passerby Ya!
In just a few months, the entire Xiling clan, which had gradually declined among the Quanxian clans in the beginning, has become increasingly powerful and has also attracted Quanxian from other clans to come and rely on and settle down. It is simply a miracle!
Fang Xianyu glanced at the Xiling clan leader with a slightly apologetic look and said, "We haven't tested it underwater yet, but if you want to buy it, we can invest in the development of a version that can be used in the sea."
"That's fine. We really need this kind of thing!" The Xiling clan leader was also very straightforward. In front of the Sea-Suppressing Dragon King, he said, "Even if it can't be used underwater, we would like to order a batch, because it can also be used in the Five-Color Formation! Over the years, the pressure on us to guard the Five-Color Formation has been increasing. If we have this thing, it might be better!"
"Don't worry, Clan Leader Xiling. I am also planning to cooperate with the Quanxian Clan and the Dragon Clan in today's military exercise. I plan to send Taiyin Sect disciples to formally participate in the five-color formation and clear out the evil demons trapped in the five-color formation. My Taiyin Sect disciples are puppets and are not afraid of death. They have their own advantages. What do you think?"
