Chapter 1228 Bandwidth Service, the Gap Widens!
The tenth day of the competition.
With the end of the eruption of the underground fire, the edge of the desert has become a barren land that is difficult for living things to enter.
Looking around, there are huge black rocks formed by cooled magma everywhere.
Clusters and pieces.
Twisted into different shapes, emitting a pungent smell of sulfur, which is particularly pungent and irritating.
In the manual, all the daily tasks and challenge tasks related to the underground fire desert have disappeared.
Although there is no direct physical means to isolate creatures from entering the desert area, there are only twenty days left, and without rewards, it is no different from being closed.
Early in the morning.
Except for the alien race who tried to survive the large natural disaster yesterday and chose to rest, all other contestants turned their attention back to breaking through the Rolling Stone Canyon.
From this moment on, the gap between the upper and lower zones was finally completely widened under the influence of the "band pass" service.
"Get on the bus, get on the bus, squeeze in!"
"Only eight minutes, it will be over after a little suffering, squeeze in again."
"Okay, okay, this car is ready to drive away!"
At the entrance of the Rolling Stone Canyon.
Not far from the merchant, Qi Jie opened two wooden tables and sat at the back with a smile.
Although he had already estimated the speed of making money from the pass service, the continuous huge amount of points still made him feel absurd.
This is only the sixth car now.
The number of points in the manual has soared to 160,000, exceeding the total sales of the previous few days.
And this is just the beginning. There are still hundreds of people gathered around the canyon, scrambling for tickets to pass through.
"Please come here to sign the contract if you have the next car reservation number."
The voice fell.
Ten people squeezed out of the crowd quickly, both men and women, with smiles on their faces that could not be concealed.
They handed over the number plates carved out of wood one by one, with numbers between 70 and 80 on them.
These rankings are arranged according to the amount of consumption in the camp.
The more you spend, the sooner you can get on the pass vehicle and go to the giant plain behind the canyon.
Although it is said that there is only a half-day difference between the first and last cars.
But when the details came out yesterday, it still stimulated a wave of consumption, indirectly causing a surge in the sales of fresh water and food in the camp, and even all the beds were sold out.
Win!
"Okay, you can go over there to line up and wait for the next car."
Carving the words "Contracted" on the license plate, Qi Jie pointed to the parking area surrounded by simple wooden strips.
The ten people left excitedly, and the envious contestants next to them drooled.
At the same time, the off-road vehicle with adjusted posture finally started moving.
The off-road vehicle loaded with ten passengers rushed out and rushed into the canyon like an arrow from a string.
Despite the increased weight, the driving posture is still graceful and stable.
Before the contestants at the entrance of the canyon came to their senses, they had already turned into a small black dot in their vision and plunged into the narrow valley.
"So fast."
The rolling stones were triggered as the vehicle passed by, and huge stones appeared out of thin air and rolled forward along the downhill of the valley.
The rumbling sound continued in the canyon, echoing continuously, like thunder.
If humans or aliens were running in it, they would probably be affected by the huge sound.
Then they would make mistakes and be caught up by the rolling stones behind.
But for the off-road vehicle driven by energy stones, the pressure brought by the pursuit was just a drop in the bucket.
Looking at the speed on the meter, Gu Honghai controlled it at about 120 yards without rushing.
According to the level that just exceeded the most difficult challenge task, it arrived at the exit in just over seven minutes.
"Is it here?"
The vehicle stopped at the docking area at the exit, and the contestants who got off the car were still a little dazed.
Looking back, the long canyon still stood on the ground, like a natural moat.
But for them, this natural moat was so easily crossed, without a trace of reality.
Of course, taking out the vibrating manual in his arms or pocket, the words displayed on it could not be false.
First, 3800 points were awarded for completing all the challenge tasks, and then 2660 points were deducted due to the contract.
Then there were the rewards for the top 100 players who cleared the canyon, and they could choose one of the three rewards.
They were: the right to know the terrain, one merchant refresh, and the points of the main competition * 300
Because the additional rules of the terrain have been spread in the camp, they are no longer valuable.
50 points for the refresh and 300 points directly credited to the account, almost everyone chose the latter.
Plus the 30% left after clearing the level.
"Great, not only did we not lose, but we also earned 1500 points."
"This wave must be Su Shen, otherwise we would lose a lot."
"It feels so good, this giant plain is so fragrant, the air has become humid."
"Let's go, let's finish today's task first, and we'll be rewarded with 200 points."
"."
The contestants who got off the car did not choose to hang around at the exit, and soon ran into the plain.
Some people went to look for plants like "red copper fruit" and planned to bring them back to the camp to sell for a good price.
Some people took the tools they had prepared yesterday and strode towards the areas that had not been cleared.
Compared to the canyon behind them, the Giant Plains was nothing short of a treasure.
Even if they were trapped here for the next twenty days, they would have earned at least four thousand points.
Adding some of the accumulated points now, everyone will bring back a big item worth 5,000 points to the territory.
Damn, is this the reason why online games have to crack down on power leveling?
The audience hanging above the plain looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
You say that Rolling Stone Canyon is difficult?
The lower half will have at most half a day to transport all the contestants to the plain.
No, it shouldn't be said that all.
At least the unlucky guys in the Green River Territory are finished, and can only do the quarrying tasks in Rolling Stone Canyon to maintain their lives.
When the supplies on hand are used up and the points are used up, they have to quit.
You say that the canyon is simple, and you can reach the next terrain in a few minutes by car?
If the contestants in the upper half heard this, they would definitely slap him twice. (っ◔◡◔)っ
It has been two days since we arrived at the oasis. The highest record of human contestants in the upper half is 2.05 kilometers.
The reason why there is an extra decimal of 0.05 is that the volume of the rolling stone will change qualitatively after every kilometer.
The first kilometer will be doubled.
The second kilometer will be tripled.
And so on, by the fifteenth kilometer, it will be sixteen times the initial size!
To pass the level with increasing difficulty, you must either have the hard power to crush directly, or find a way to evenly distribute the speed.
And the human players in the upper half have not figured out this yet.
As for the aliens, relying on their special abilities, the current record is only 6.84 kilometers.
It sounds more than three times that of humans, but there is still a long way to go before breaking through the canyon of 15 kilometers.
And because the ability has reached the upper limit, it is not easy to improve it.
Once human players make vehicles or tools that can deal with the canyon, it is only a matter of time to catch up.
The sun is scorching and the temperature rises.
On the tenth day after the earth fire disaster, the dividing area between the desert and the canyon became hot again.
After selling the fresh water just produced in the well, the old Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the straw hut.
He glanced at the male gun brother lying on the rocking chair and fanning himself, squinting his eyes and enjoying himself.
The old Taoist priest curled his lips, and also lay down beside him, picked up the water cup and drank a sip.
The sweet well water flowed down his throat, driving away the heat all over his body.
"I don't know how the progress of the lord is, whether he has passed this canyon."
】
The old Taoist priest put down the water cup.
The male gun brother lying on the rocking chair next to him did not say anything.
In the past, he would definitely mock the old Taoist priest at this time and let him put his heart in his stomach.
But in the past two days, more and more contestants have tried the power of the Rolling Stone Canyon, and the two of them have tried it several times in person.
For this Rolling Stone Canyon, they no longer have the initial confidence.
It's too difficult.
It's too abnormal!
With such a poor supply of materials, even if there are countless ideas in the mind, they can't be turned into real things.
Do we have to go to the merchant and keep refreshing to gamble for the props to pass the canyon?
This kind of needle-in-a-haystack behavior has bankrupted dozens of gamblers.
Even though the two of them are now considered "property owners" and can earn at least 2,000 points every day.
Going to the merchant is still an out-and-out poor man and can't afford it at all.
"According to the current progress, there are still 20 days, and we can at least save tens of thousands of points."
"I'm in charge of the well, you spend more time to watch the merchant, just in case there are good goods, don't miss it."
"I know." The male gun brother made a gesture and nodded to show that he understood.
Then, continue to lie down and rest.
The sun is too scorching during the day, and the contestants in the upper half basically come out in the afternoon or evening.
Like this morning, 90% of humans and aliens hide in the shade of the oasis to save their energy, and dare not go to the canyon in the hot sun.
Including those gamblers who like to go to the merchant, they will only appear in the middle of the night.
After all, if you get something good during the day, it is easy for others to intercept it.
Only when the big stuff is out at night, there will be a time difference to digest it.
What the male gun brother has to do is to conserve his energy during the day and strike hard at night.
If they can seize another opportunity, they may have a chance to pass the canyon and reach the back terrain.
Of course, this chance is very slim.
The two basically have no expectations, and like most ordinary contestants, they do their best and leave it to fate.
The sun continued at noon and soon slanted to the west.
As the well reached the cooling time again, the old Taoist happily got up, stretched his legs and prepared to set up the stall.
However, at this moment, the direction of the Rolling Stone Canyon suddenly became lively.
The contestants in the oasis seemed to have received some news, and they actually filed out and ran towards the canyon.
"What happened?"
The male gun brother jumped up from the recliner, and his first reaction was that someone had passed the Rolling Stone Canyon.
However, how could this be possible?
You have to know that even the most powerful alien race still has nearly half the distance to go to clear the canyon.
And the further you go in the Rolling Stone Canyon, the more difficult it is.
How could someone suddenly clear the canyon without any preparation?
The two looked at each other, and immediately lost the thought of fetching water, and ran to follow the crowd towards the canyon.
On the way, they met a few familiar contestants and talked to each other.
"Someone really cleared the level?!"
After receiving the almost accurate news, the old Taoist felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
It comes from human fear of the unknown.
If there is fresh water for sale on the plain behind the canyon, their seemingly prosperous business will collapse immediately.
Although they can still make a profit, the tens of thousands of points they imagined are definitely gone.
What the hell.
What's going on? How can there be such a monster in the upper half?
"Don't be nervous, it seems that it hasn't been cleared yet." The male gun brother is sharp-eyed.
Seeing that the crowd did not gather at the entrance of the canyon to watch, but all surrounded the merchant, it was not logical, and he felt strange.
He walked to the outside of the crowd and asked, and then he understood.
"It hasn't been cleared yet, but it will be soon. They actually spawned a motorcycle here from the merchant!"
Motorcycle!
Sure enough, this merchant will sell props that will help the progress of the main race, otherwise it will be too difficult to pass the level.
The 15-kilometer Rolling Stone Canyon, according to the current quality of players, there is absolutely no possibility of passing the level.
"Where's the gasoline? Did they get it?"
"Only one barrel, which can probably last for hundreds of kilometers, enough for more than ten people to pass the level."
"Is that so."
The male gun brother nodded thoughtfully, knowing clearly why so many people gathered around him.
They just wanted to buy the clearance quota from the motorcycle owner.
"Come on, let's squeeze in too, if it's cheap."
Looking at the male gun brother, the old Taoist gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Trapped in the middle of the canyon and the desert, he only had a fixed income of 100 points a day.
But if he could go to the terrain behind, not only would his income soar, but he would also have the opportunity to access the terrain behind.
This was using points to exchange for a future, no wonder these people were so excited.
Knowing this reason, relying on the familiarity that the old Taoist had gained these days, he quickly squeezed to the front row.
The first thing he saw was the extremely eye-catching off-road motorcycle in front of the businessman.
The sharp front, the oval headlights, and the wide off-road tires at the front and back.
The compact body can accommodate two people in the front and back, and it is not a problem to squeeze three people in.
The only thing is that the displacement is not big, only about 250cc, it is estimated that it is difficult to complete the most difficult tasks.
The second look is the owner of the motorcycle.
Seeing the extremely disgusting horse face, the old Taoist's mood immediately fell to the bottom.
If this motorcycle was bought by someone else in the oasis, perhaps he could still bargain with a few thin faces.
But this horse face is their biggest competitor.
From what 'Wuyu Alliance', there are five companions, and they also have small drilled wells!
"I think everyone is already familiar with our Wuyu Alliance, so I won't introduce it in detail."
Horse-faced Jedda Dalton looked around and showed a satisfied expression on his face.
Especially when he saw the old Taoist with a very dark face, the satisfaction turned into pride and comfort!
"This motorcycle can run at least 120 kilometers, which means 8 round trips at least, and 16 places for two people."
"Our Wuyu Alliance will only consume 5 places, and the remaining 11 will be sold."
When it comes to business, under the expectant eyes of the contestants, Dalton spoke without hesitation:
"If you want a place, you only need to meet three conditions."
"First, all the points for clearing the canyon belong to us, and we are only responsible for taking you to the canyon exit."
"Second, all the rewards for clearing the next terrain must be handed over to us."
"Third, half of the daily task income of the next terrain must be paid to us in the first three days."
Hiss.
According to the usual style of Dalton, the onlookers had already expected that he would offer extremely harsh conditions, but they still couldn't help but take a breath of cold air at this time.
Too cruel.
Not to mention the points for the challenge tasks and the rewards for clearing the canyon.
Even the meager income from daily tasks must be shared, which is simply not human.
And in addition to that.
"The highest bidder wins the spot. There are only 11 spots for one barrel of gasoline." Dalton said proudly, as if he had seen countless points pouring in.
In fact, he bought not one but two barrels of gasoline just now.
Including the motorcycle, he paid a total of 8,000 points.
Even if these two barrels of gasoline are not so harsh, they can transport more than 30 people to the other side of the canyon.
Calculated based on 4,000 points per person, this is 120,000.
In a blink of an eye, the investment has earned 15 times the income, which is really profitable!
