Chapter 2081 The Lone Ranger
Liu Xing took a sip of tea, looked at Zhang Jingxu and said, "Old Zhang, what do you think of this Ayi? I'm not saying that I don't trust her, but I'm worried that she might be alone in the future."
Now Liu Xing already knows something, so Liu Xing is very curious whether this Ling Yi is the Ayi in his dream, but now Liu Xing can only connect the two people through the same nickname.
So Liu Xing wants to know what level of player this Ling Yi is. It sounds very difficult to know the main mission she is about to start. After all, she needs to go to the unfamiliar Far West City alone. Someone may be secretly watching her. Her every move, and this person may not only be her future immediate boss, but also a monitor sent by the prefect of Far West City.
After all, there are many people leaving Far West City today, but only a few people coming, and these people who come to Far West City come well prepared. For example, Bai Hecheng and others came under the banner of the Third Prince.
Therefore, Liu Xing can be sure that the governor of Far West City and the heads of various sects are paying attention to every move of outsiders. Therefore, when Ling Yi comes to Far West City, if he cannot get enough money for his long-term stay in Far West City at the first time, If there is a reasonable reason, then Ling Yi will definitely be on various blacklists, and there will definitely be someone to monitor her.
Therefore, if Ling Yi's ability is insufficient, then he may make mistakes under such high-intensity pressure. Then it will be one wrong step, one wrong step after another, and it will not take long before he has to tear up the card, or leave Far West City in embarrassment. .
If he puts himself in someone else's shoes, Liu Xing feels that if he were Ling Yi, he would only be 50% sure of being able to gain a foothold in Far West City, and that's even if he doesn't take the initiative to do something, so when Ling Yi takes it When this set of marks came out, Liu Xing felt that Ling Yi might not be simple, because this way of transmitting information through marks is actually very easy to implement. After all, marks are not like text messages in the real world. , able to quickly transmit information one-to-one.
It is like a mass announcement. After it is published, it is left in one place for everyone to read. Only the right people will remove the announcement after seeing it, and the wrong people will delete it the moment they see the announcement. You will realize that there must be something wrong with the publisher! No matter who comes to Ling Yi then, it will be difficult for Ling Yi to explain his behavior. It is impossible for Ling Yi to say that he has nothing to do, so he likes street graffiti, right?
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that if this Ling Yi was A Yi in her dream, then she must be capable of doing all this.
"As far as I know, this Ayi is a senior player in the Hounds of Tindalos area. She is currently preparing for the promotion competition. Moreover, she is also a lone ranger, so her ability is quite strong, but this is only hers. Family members say that I am not too sure about the specific situation, but through this period of contact, I found that she does have some strength, so I am willing to believe her statement."
Zhang Jingxu looked at the ceiling and continued: "I had doubts about her at the beginning, so I tried to test her abilities, and found that she was better than us in some aspects... After all, we In the final analysis, these players in the Cthulhu area took shortcuts to complete the upgrade so quickly. They skipped the most difficult part of the promotion competition. Therefore, we must admit that we can only be regarded as half-step players in the Cthulhu area. "
"Uh, is there such a thing as half-step in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall?"
Liu Xing showed a puzzled expression, "But the reason why we can become a member of the Cthulhu region is indeed a bit opportunistic, so we can't really be regarded as serious Cthulhu region players, so if Ayi If what she said is true, then her qualifications may be far better than ours; but what surprises me most is that this Ayi is actually a lone ranger, because the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is obviously encouraging Players form teams, so many modules are more beneficial to team players, and lone rangers either have no advantage in these modules, or they will encounter various problems."
Liu Xing’s last point is a conclusion recognized by most players in the current Cthulhu Run game lobby, because when players come to the Shoggoth area, they will begin to encounter confrontational modules, and at this time Lone Ranger players will encounter some embarrassing situations. For example, other players in their own camp are teammates, and they are the only outsider.
At this time, as a lone ranger player, you are likely to be plotted by other players, such as deliberately concealing some information and letting you serve as a highly dangerous bait.
Therefore, in confrontational modules, Lone Ranger players will face various problems. Not only do they need to be careful of players from the enemy camp, but they also have to beware of backstabbing from "teammates."
Liu Xing deeply agreed with this, because he, Zhang Jingxu, and Yin En formed a three-person team a long time ago, so after that Liu Xing must have believed in his teammates more and made a decision very early. If you are too determined, you will give up on those passerby players when necessary. After all, they are not your own.
And even if it is not a confrontational module, Lone Ranger players may be plotted by those player teams, or be forced to accept some more difficult tasks. For example, when a player must act alone, Lone Ranger players will naturally Stand up and be the player most likely to be attacked.
In addition, team players can also allocate some props obtained from the module on their own, thus making each player's prop combination more rational, while lone ranger players can only use whatever props they get. Even after they were able to enter the lobby and trade items with other players, it was difficult to put together a suitable set of items.
After all, the props that can be traded have more or less strange attributes, and those props that can be used stably in the module are almost not traded by players.
Moreover, the prop transactions in the lobby are also completed through barter. At the same time, the props here will not be the mall props in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, so this will be a new problem for Lone Ranger players. This is a problem, because as long as it is not a single-player module, or a prop obtained by one person alone, then this prop is likely to be pocketed by team players. After all, this pair of fists is difficult to beat with four hands, and it does not have huge strength. Before the gap, the minority must obey the majority.
So in many cases, Lone Ranger players have to make some compromises, so when others advance to the Hounds of Tindalos zone, they may still be struggling in the Shoggoth zone.
Therefore, Ling Yi was able to challenge the Cthulhu area as a Lone Ranger player, which Liu Xing had to admire.
“In the Cthulhu Run game lobby, the Lone Ranger players become more and more difficult the further they go, because it is difficult for you to gain the trust and help of other players, and as long as there are no accidents for a team of players like us, Then there will be more and more tacit understanding and trust in each other, so we can clear the module better."
Zhang Jingxu looked at Liu Xing and said seriously: "So after we were promoted to the Hounds of Tindalos area, the players we saw in the lobby were basically in groups of twos and threes, and there were basically not a few players in sight. As a single player, this also shows how difficult the situation of Lone Ranger players is... And to put it bluntly, I really can’t understand those players who insist on being Lone Rangers after entering the Hounds of Tindalos area. , because this really does more harm than good to them. After all, if you don’t believe anyone in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, then no one will believe you, and you will only be the one to suffer in the end. "
Liu Xing thought about it and found that he had not met many Lone Ranger players since the Shoggoth area, especially after arriving in the Hounds of Tindalos area. Most of the players in the module were himself and Zhang Jingxu. et al.
Just when Liu Xing was about to say something, Yu Lei suddenly climbed through the window and entered.
"How's it going?"
Liu Xing asked directly: "Brother Yu, we just received bad news here, so do you want to talk about the situation on your side first, or listen to the bad news on my side first?"
Yu Lei frowned, and then said: "Then you'd better listen to the good news from me first! To make a long story short, the Wutai of Boyang City has realized that there is a problem with Guo Er, so they have already started to make relevant preparations! Fortunately The martial arts platform in Boyang City is different from the martial arts platforms in other places. That is, although the martial arts platform in Boyang City will also recruit local martial arts masters, the proportion will be far inferior to that of other cities, and some important positions It won’t be up to them!”
"After all, Boyang City only has the city lord, not the governor, and the city lord is often also the head of the strongest sect. So if most of the martial arts masters in Wutai are related to the city lord, then Wutai will become It has become the city lord's one-third-acre land; therefore, Boyang City's Wutai has sent an application to Liangcheng, preparing to send those members of the local sect to Liangcheng for further training, and then ask Liangcheng to send some people to make up for the number. Inadequate, if you enter and exit like this, the martial arts platform in Boyang City should not be on Guo Er's side."
After listening to Yu Lei's words, Liu Xing always felt that he was setting a flag.
"Of course, if the situation we discussed before really happened, then Boyang City's Wutai would not persist to the end. Instead, they would leave Boyang City directly when they saw that the situation was not good. After all, they did not have the ability to do so. Fight against the entire city on their own! So they may still come to Tianshui Town to avoid the edge, but if possible, they still prefer to retreat to other cities." Yu Lei said seriously.
Liu Xing nodded and told the news brought by Ling Yi, "Brother Yu, we have just received news that the former prince is sending people to Far West City, and may directly capture Far West City at some point. Xicheng, once again raise the flag of the former prince!"
"Um?"
Yu Lei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It is indeed possible, but I don't think it is reliable, because Far West City is notoriously easy to attack and difficult to defend, so there is no need to pay to win Far West City The price is too high, but what should you do next? Can you really defend Far West City? Moreover, the geographical location of Far West City is relatively average, and there is nothing worth mentioning in the city, so those who were loyal to the former prince The remnants shouldn’t be able to capture Far West City, right?”
"But brother Yu, don't forget that Boyang City may also be the target of the former prince." Liu Xing said quickly.
Hearing Liu Xing's words, Yu Lei realized the seriousness of the matter, "Yes, if Guo Er is really a subordinate of the former prince, then if the former prince took advantage of the chaos to capture Far West City and Boyang City, how could Guo Er These two cities can look after each other. No matter which city you attack, the other city can send troops to rescue! The most important thing is that if these two cities are caught between the two princes, the situation will inevitably change. It’s a stalemate, because everyone wants the other to attack the city and consume the other’s troops.”
"And as far as I know, neither Far West City nor Boyang City are actually within the third prince's final line of defense. To put it bluntly, they are cities that can be temporarily abandoned... After all, you also know A Peng, the third prince and others The relationship between the princes is not good, so it is very likely that they will be attacked by a group at the first time. Therefore, the third prince has prepared to build a final line of defense with Liangcheng as the core, and most of the troops will be arranged there by then. , and the rest of the city is to be defended if you can, or just give up if you can't."
"So if the former prince stood up at this time, then Boyang City, Far West City, and other surrounding cities should be in trouble. At that time, the former prince would also have a perfect start; but if you look carefully If you think about it, this is actually not a bad thing. As long as the former prince does not do some bad things that are outrageous and resentful, then he is actually helping the third prince to defend one side and delaying the other princes' attacks. Therefore, this is very important to the already stretched third prince. It’s a rare good thing.”
It seems that this is really the case.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, the forces of the former prince's side should not be too large, that is, they have more than enough troops to defend the city but not enough to attack the city. Therefore, the former prince's side can capture a few cities at the beginning, and then it will be over. Begin to defend the city honestly.
Facing such an enemy, it is not easy to take action, because not only does it require a large amount of troops to be invested, but there is also the possibility of huge losses. After all, the former prince's side was a typical enemy with a small number but The quality is high, if you look at it in other games, it would be a mage with high attack power and low health.
