◎Mechanical Suspension Bridge and Richard◎
Once they passed the mechanical suspension bridge, they were essentially entering the final stage of the race for the finish line. It sounded simple, but only Xia Li knew how difficult this stage was.
Unlike real-world bridges, the suspension bridges in the Gobi Desert are suspended in mid-air. They vary in length, from just four or five meters to as little as twenty meters, overlapping and intersecting, swaying precariously. As soon as the player steps on them, the mechanical bridges spring into action, large and small, long and short, like a precision-engineered machine, all its components activating.
Once they start to rotate, all the suspension bridges become irregular. Some move around, and some collide with each other. Players must successfully jump to another suspension bridge before the two bridges collide, and then continue jumping forward until they reach the other side of the Gobi Desert safely.
The two most difficult points are: first, players on the suspension bridge must be quick and accurate, otherwise they may miss the suspension bridge they want to jump on and directly collide with another bridge, finally falling off the cliff and being eliminated.
Second, when a companion is crossing a suspension bridge, the player on the edge of the cliff must also keep an eye on the overall situation, tell the companion the route as quickly as possible, and guide the companion to leave the suspension bridge that is about to be hit, while not deviating from the route.
This is why teamwork is mandatory in the Ruins City mode. No one can cross the single-plank bridge alone. Only teamwork can lead to victory. If anyone is so arrogant as to try to be individualistic, I'm sorry, there is only one result waiting for him - elimination.
For example, when a cold wave suddenly broke out in the Ite Ice Land, players had to hold hands to avoid being blown away, otherwise the team would become scattered and could easily be killed by other teams.
The mechanical suspension bridge in Pengge Gobi requires a high degree of tacit understanding between teammates. People on the shore are the eyes of people on the bridge, and people on the bridge are the hope of people on the shore.
Xia Li briefly summarized the rules, and Beishan Wolf nodded after listening: "I will do my best to find a safe route to jump over."
"Okay." With his words, Xia Li turned around and pushed off the ground, easily leaping onto the mechanical suspension bridge closest to her.
The suspension bridge sensed someone entering and began to rotate instantly. Xia Li lowered her center of gravity slightly, ready to run elsewhere at any time upon receiving the command from the Beishan Wolf.
A large suspension bridge across the front suddenly swung over!
"Left three, up four five, the target is moving towards you."
A voice came into her ears, and Xia Li immediately turned left 30 degrees, and then 45 degrees upwards, and saw a suspension bridge only 4 or 5 meters long moving towards her.
But the big suspension bridge also swung its tail from the front at the same time, so she had to squat to avoid the sweep, then stand up, quickly pull upwards, grab the target suspension bridge with both hands, and at the same time swung her body, and the whole person stood steadily on the target suspension bridge.
"Next one down. Left seven, up two, the target is moving away from you."
After hearing the second command, Xia Li did not stop. She turned to the left and rear and saw a long suspension bridge appearing diagonally above her. She started running directly, half-flying and half-leaping over it, and grabbed the tail of the suspension bridge that was about to move away from her.
"Don't stop. Six left, five down, target moving slowly."
So he quickly turned sideways, jumped down 50 degrees, and landed on a wide suspension bridge.
"Second from the left, parallel, target moving away from you."
"Right three, up three, target moving slowly."
…
Beishan Lang's command was exceptionally professional. Not only could he quickly gauge her position, but he also accurately timed her movements and steps, delivering precise, measured commands. He was practically born to lead! Xia Li, having witnessed many great leaders commanding, couldn't help but admire him. How could such a talented commander allow the Black Tengu gang to so arbitrarily exploit and squander their resources? She had to find a way to recruit Beishan Lang to Fengyuntian.
Xia Li was calculating while silently cooperating with Beishan Wolf's instructions. For a moment, the whole picture was extremely harmonious. The suspension bridge was obviously extremely difficult to see with the naked eye, but with the complementary cooperation between the two of them, it actually presented a sense of beauty of silent cooperation between big men.
It’s so handsome!
A group of players who were lucky enough to touch the live broadcast room No. 132 cried out that their scalps were bursting.
[Amazing! Just fucking amazing! The two of them work so smoothly together, right?]
If you don’t know, you might think they are old teammates [laughing and crying]]
[Split open, he really is the one who dares to say it and then dares to do it! If it were me, I would have kicked him in the face [dog head]]
[You've thought too much before. You can't even reach this level with your level.]
[Fuck, this hurts]
[I won’t say anything more, I just watched it a billion times]
[I'm asking for a pair of intact knees for a large sum of money. Bro, I just broke my knees.]
[Awesome! Summer Pear Blossoms is the eternal god!]
[I want to worship this paragraph and lick it every day! ]
…
Xia Li aimed at the last step, jumped up, and landed easily on the other side with both feet.
Looking at the time, the whole process of jumping from one end of the Gobi cliff to the other took less than twenty minutes.
But it wasn't over yet. She had arrived, and the Beishan Wolf was still on the other side. Fortunately, the mechanical suspension bridge's power could be shut off; the mechanism was on her side. Xia Li skillfully groped her way to a hole in the Gobi Desert and reached in. She grasped something that felt like a handle and pulled it back. With a heavy click, the power shut off, and the suspension bridge instantly stopped.
Beishan Wolf discovered the suspension bridge had lost power and immediately used it as a springboard to catch up. After he arrived, Xia Li, adhering to the principle of returning things to their original places, pushed the switch back, restarting the suspension bridge.
There were only three kilometers left to the finish line. After checking the map, the two looked at each other, nodded, and flashed into the Gobi stone forest at the same time.
Apart from speaking when directing the route, Beishan Wolf didn't speak again on the way into the stone forest. Xia Li naturally knew what to do and didn't ask any more questions. After all, no one would be able to accept being cuckolded by their girlfriend immediately.
However, after walking for a while, Beishan Wolf finally couldn't help but ask, "How did you know about this?"
How did she know? She couldn't just say she knew it from her previous life. Xia Li glanced around, then suddenly had an idea. She lowered her voice and said, "I just happened to have watched the live broadcast replays of the previous Ruins City."
The fact that Black Tengu and Kitayama Meowth had the nerve to repeatedly team up using rock-paper-scissors means they've used this trick many times to trick Kitayama Wolf. This wasn't the first time they'd done so in the Gobi Desert. If that's the case, they must have left evidence in the previous maps. And there were cameras in the ruined city, so unless they were invisible, they wouldn't have been able to escape the cameras' attention.
However, due to the fixed camera, the viewing angle is limited, and players usually don't like to enter the live broadcast room to watch the game. After all, it is better to do more tasks and kill more monsters with this time. Moreover, after each map is over, the official will edit a few minutes of highlight MV and post it on the event homepage for everyone to watch. This makes players even more reluctant to take the initiative to watch the live broadcast.
Therefore, this is also the main reason why the affair between Black Tengu and Kitayama Cat in the map has not been discovered. However, not being discovered does not mean that the camera did not record it. As long as Kitayama Wolf is willing, Xia Li believes that he will be able to find something from the previous playback.
Beishan Wolf was stunned at first when he heard her words, but then he laughed self-deprecatingly. "Yeah, there's a live broadcast in the Ruins City. How could I have forgotten about this? It seems like everyone in the world knows, and I'm the only one who's still in the dark."
"It's not like the whole world knows about it," Xia Li comforted him, and explained the general situation of the live broadcast in Ruins City to Beishan Wolf. "That's just the way it is. Almost no one watches the live broadcast, so it's not your fault for not knowing."
Then he glanced at his level in the team list and muttered to himself, "You should be thankful that you know the truth at only level 26."
"What?" Beishan Wolf didn't hear what she said clearly. "What do you mean by level 26?"
"Oh, nothing," Xia Li shrugged. "I said you're only level 26, you have a lot to do in the future."
And she had to blame Feng Yun Tian Xia for this, so she arched her brows and stared at him with a half-smile.
Beishan Wolf felt a little scared when she looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Xia Li: "Are you interested in joining us, Fengyun Tianxia?"
Beishan Wolf paused, then laughed out loud: "Xia Ri Lihua, although I am very pitiful now, having lost my brother and my girlfriend, I am still the president of Beiming Youyu after all."
The implication is that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if he is in such a bad situation, he is not so pitiful that he needs help from other guilds.
Xia Li also smiled and stopped trying to persuade him. At least the seed she had planted in Beishan Wolf's heart had already broken its shell. She only needed to water it a little more, and then it would naturally take root and sprout.
There were poisonous scorpions hidden in the Gobi stone forest, and they almost surrounded her in groups. However, in front of her, a player famous for her critical hits, no matter how many scorpions came up, it was useless. Soon, after more than an hour's journey, she and Beishan Wolf successfully reached the finish line.
The flags of the top three places were planted on a semi-weathered stone, fluttering in the wind.
Xia Li walked up and pulled out the first one against the wind.
Congratulations to the Beishan Wolf team for winning first place in Pengge Gobi!
Congratulations to the Beishan Wolf team for winning first place in Pengge Gobi!
…
The broadcast was played three times throughout the map, and its echo was loud and clear, resounding throughout the clouds.
Leng Bingshuang's face darkened instantly: "Why is it her again?!"
This time, under Xin Zexi's leadership, they finally found a shortcut that allowed them to get ahead of the other teams. However, as soon as they entered the inner circle, they heard this tragic news! And the one who had caused this terrible news was Xia Rihua, the one who always irritated her, but her brother wouldn't let her say it.
Seeing her full of anger, Xin Zexi quickly came up to comfort her: "Miss, even if you lose first place, we still have second place."
"Hmph, are you happy about getting second place? We could have gotten first place!" Leng Bingshuang raised her chin and almost looked at people with her nose down.
"Frost." Bao Feng narrowed his eyes and reminded Leng Bingshuang.
"Yes, I know." Leng Bingshuang curled her lips and restrained her emotions. Suddenly, she saw suspension bridges floating in front of her, and her pupils dilated instantly. "What the hell is this?"
[Congratulations on winning the first place in Pengge Gobi and receiving 500 points]
Xia Li happily accepted the reward and turned off the notification. Even though she had only participated in two Ruins City matches, the 720 points she'd earned were enough to move her ranking from ten pages back to page three. However, this ranking wasn't very useful; it was just for show. The most important thing was the number of points.
Points can be exchanged for rare items, equipment and materials at the redemption center. For example, in her previous life, she accumulated more than 2,000 points and finally exchanged them for a crystal that could be inserted into a priest's staff, which directly increased her healing power by 10%.
Now she is still a little far from 2,000 points, so Xia Li decided to come over more often to play in the ruined city.
The Queen's celebration event has come to its last day. Players are actively completing holiday tasks. Even the worst ones have obtained at least one holiday-limited equipment. As for the best ones, Bohu Xi'an looked at the honor IDs listed on the event page. So far, the only player ahead of him is Xia Ri Lihua.
At that time, Xia Li was busy taking on the last task. As long as she successfully completed this one, she would be able to collect the Alchemist's holiday limited edition set, and at the same time it would trigger a set skill that she had been secretly looking forward to for a long time!
Now, except for the [Queen's Crystal Chain] which is a blue item, the rest of her clothes are almost all purple items, including [Wailing Hat], [Karl's Armor], [Void Pendant], [Ghost Boots] and [Crimson Gloves] obtained in the Scarlet Monastery. Not only did her character's attack and critical strike attributes increase significantly, but her personal ranking also jumped up one place, from seventh to sixth.
NPC Golov obviously didn't understand how excited Xia Li was at the moment. His expression only became gentle because the mission was completed. "Very good, you have spread the Queen's gift throughout the Shia continent. The Queen will always remember everything you have done. Now, I need you to do me another small favor. Are you willing?"
Of course, Xia Li agreed without hesitation. No matter whether it was for the Queen or for Golov, as long as she could get a reward, she would accept it.
However, after agreeing to it, she felt melancholy. The reason for her melancholy was nothing else but that this last task was really challenging for her.
After hearing her answer, Golov nodded with satisfaction and began to give the final instructions: "The Queen's musician Richard recently accidentally broke his violin, but he will be giving a concert in front of the Queen tonight and cannot do without his violin. Go to Garden Valley and collect some horsetail and spruce and make a violin. If Richard likes the sound, he can accept it."
[Section: Go to Garden Valley to collect Horsetail*100, Spruce*10]
It's great to make a piano. You have to know that this is a holographic game, and most of the activities have to be done by hand. Her life skills of logging, cutting and carving are only level 1. These were all lit up in the Gla Village at the beginning, and she never took care of them again because she didn't use them.
After all, she wasn't pursuing dual cultivation, so there was no need for her to specialize in life skills. However, right now... all three of her skills were only at level 1. Not to mention how high her failure rate would be in making a guitar, even if she managed to make it, how good of a sound could she produce?
Thinking back to her previous life, when she had ruined 26 pianos before finally satisfying Richard before the mission was completed, Xia Li felt like crying. Could it be that she was going to make the same mistake again in this life?
Xia Li took on the task with a forced smile, but after thinking it over, she decided to go to Garden Valley first. No matter what the final result would be, or whether Richard would be satisfied or not, she had to collect all the materials first.
