Chapter 5 Bluffing

"You didn't expect that, did you?" Ghost-Shou Nobunaga proudly pushed aside the crowd and came to stand in front of me. Then he looked at my new look up and down. "You have changed a lot. I haven't seen you for a few weeks, but I didn't expect you to regress back to the four-legged stage?"

"Hahahaha...!" There was a roar of laughter all around.

"It's been a long time indeed!" My body began to quickly shrink back to human form, and at the same time I took Eternity in my hand. "I took care of your nest last time. I haven't visited it in such a long time. What's wrong? Is the spring breeze blowing again?"

Ghost Hand Nobunaga was so angry after hearing my words, but he didn't defend himself, just like I did just now. You can't quibble about this kind of thing, you can only interrupt it, otherwise it will get darker and darker.

"Don't you want to know how I set up this trap?"

"I can probably guess."

Ghost Hand Nobunaga glanced at me in confusion. It was not easy to guess such a huge plan. He didn't expect me to guess it. "Then tell me how I did it?"

"It's very simple." I pointed at the parasitic tribe next to me and said, "Since you can deceive their trust, you can also deceive the trust of other races. In my opinion, you have combined the power of the main fighting races on this planet with The personnel were all gathered together, and then they were asked to take advantage of the melee between the sacred beasts of our country and the demons. But I didn't expect that the sacred beasts of our country that protect the country are so strong that they actually knocked down all the helpers you found, and also... They chased them all the way. But you were not willing to fail, so you temporarily changed your plan and let these people ambush here, because you know that if the guardian beast loses such a big thing, I will definitely arrive, so you can't catch the big one. It’s not bad if you can kill a kid like me. Am I right?”

"How do you know that we changed our plans temporarily?" A stupid guy next to Nobunaga Ghost Hand couldn't help but ask.

I smiled and said: "Don't you understand this? Fortunately, you are still Ghost Hand Nobunaga's follower. You really haven't learned anything! Ghost Hand Nobunaga and I have fought many times, so he knows my abilities very well. , the thing that sealed me already shows his understanding of me. However, it is impossible for Nobunaga Ghost Hand not to know my other abilities. Even if my summoned creatures are banned, the military strength here alone is not enough to defeat me. At least there is no guarantee of victory. Ghost-hand Nobunaga will not be so reckless. I understand him. Although we are enemies, I will not deny the enemy's ability, because that is also a derogation of myself. However, if Ghost-hand Nobunaga knows These people can't stop me. Then why did he only send so few people? Although you are not very strong, rb is a country after all, and it will definitely not be a problem to get some people who can deal with me. Ghost Hand Nobunaga knows that there are not enough people. , and he has enough people to call, but still can't find enough people, then there is only one reason - he doesn't have time. This is the basis for my judgment. Because you changed the plan temporarily, so You never thought that you would need to intercept me, the number one expert in Asia, and you didn’t have time to mobilize enough manpower in such a hurry. Even people from the parasitic tribe, whose relationship is not very strong, were mobilized to help. Otherwise, Nobunaga would use his ghost hand to attack me. Conceited, he will not use forces other than rb people in the battle against me, because if I am defeated by someone from an outside force, it will prove that rb people are useless. Am I right? Ghost hand letter Mr. Chang?"

"I have to admit that you are very smart. But your intelligence ends here." Nobunaga Ghost Hands clapped his hands proudly, and a large number of RB players suddenly rushed in behind him. Although the profession is relatively "chaotic", but from now on Judging from the fact that a large part of them are ninjas and rb samurai. These are all rb players, at least most of them are. "You did guess that we didn't prepare enough manpower because of the rush of time, but you have been blocked here for so long, and all our people have arrived. Now you are dead."

"You should be dead." I also clapped my hands, and a large group of people suddenly appeared outside the cave, and all the RPG players inside were compressed into the middle area of ​​the cave. The crowd surrounding rb players suddenly parted a path, and Rose, Hongyue and several major combat forces of our guild walked out of it. "Ghost-hand Nobunaga, are you the only one who can call for reinforcements? Do you think I will fight to the death with you when I summoned creatures and people are surrounded? I am the president of a guild, not a single-handed ranger. Of course I have sex, but I have also kept my rationality. Do you really think I am stupid enough to challenge a group of you alone?"

Rose standing at the entrance of the cave added for me: "Ziri informed me immediately when he found out that his summoning ability was banned, so until just now he was just delaying time and waiting for our reinforcements. I didn't expect you to do this for me. The reinforcements were also deliberately stalling for time. As a result, the reinforcements from both sides were easily waited for. It's a pity that you brought too few people."

"Hmph. I miscalculated, but so what? It's very easy for us to run away. You can't do anything to me at all!" Ghost Hand Nobunaga is indeed a person who often cuts off big things. In terms of judgment, he is indeed the best. He is better than his predecessor Masamoto Matsumoto. He doesn't hesitate to deal with this kind of matter, and he just breaks it off.

Because Nobunaga's decision was too sudden, the Japanese people rushed towards us before I even reacted.

"Where to run." I ignored the minions and jumped directly towards the ghost-handed Nobunaga.

Ghost-Hand Nobunaga completely ignored my attack, and actually rushed forward without dodging. Of course I was not polite, and cut him into two pieces with a knife, but the ghost-Hand Nobunaga was cut into pieces and fell to the ground. But it turned into two wooden piles. I was a little stunned. Ghost-handed Nobunaga should be a Japanese warrior. Why did he suddenly have a ninja skill?

After losing the target, I quickly turned around and looked for it, but there were RB players everywhere and I really couldn't find the target. "Damn it, I actually let him run away."

I was sulking when I suddenly heard Rose's voice from behind: "Husband, get down."

I instinctively lay down without even understanding what it meant. Then I heard a bang and saw an object the size of a can fly over my head and fall into the crowd in front of me. The little thing stood up like a roly-poly as soon as it hit the ground. Then there was only a slight explosion, and most of the little thing flew up from the ground. When most of it flew to a height of about two meters, it suddenly exploded with a loud bang. Tens of thousands of small steel balls scattered like raindrops, knocking down a large number of people in an instant. There are many ninjas among rb players. And this profession is a profession that sacrifices defense for speed. The tight-fitting cloth on the body has almost no defense and cannot resist such explosive weapons.

"Do you also have scattered nail mines?" A familiar voice suddenly appeared behind me, and I saw May as expected.

"Why didn't you run away?" I asked as I got up from the ground.

Wu Wuyue said with a smile: "I bumped into your reinforcements on the way, so I just came back together. Today is really an eye-opener. I didn't expect that your guild's equipment is so complete, and it beat the little rb and fled."

Rose came from behind and said: "The RB people ran away not because we have all the weapons. It's because there are few of them today. However, our guild's weapons are indeed very complete. If you are interested, you can buy a few and try them out."

I smiled and pulled the rose into my arms and said, "Don't sell it to him. I guarantee that he definitely wants it, but he just doesn't have the money to buy it."

"How do you know I have no money? I can still get three to five hundred crystal coins." Yuyue defended with a blushing neck.

"Hahahaha...!" Rose and I laughed together.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Hahahaha! I really can't stand it anymore!" I patted May on the shoulder and said, "Do you know how much the scattered nail mine just now cost?"

May shook her head: "I don't know. What? Is it expensive?"

"It's not too expensive, it's only two hundred crystal coins each."

"Two hundred crystal coins... one?" May asked with an unacceptable look.

I nodded: "Although it costs one or two hundred crystal coins each, only one can defeat one or two hundred enemies. On average, it only costs one or two crystal coins to deal with one person. If you go up and fight with them. Let's not mention it for now. If you can't fight, the blood bottles consumed by fighting so many people will cost forty or fifty crystal coins, right? Calculating it this way, it's actually a good deal for you."

Rose added: "Don't just look at the large investment. If you calculate the output, you will find that the return on high investment is actually higher. Just like the super weapon installed under Essinger, every time the light is fired, The required magic crystals are worth millions of crystal coins. But imagine destroying a city at once. How many enemies must be destroyed? In addition to the enemies frightened by this, the actual average price to deal with one enemy may be only a few dollars. Just a copper plate."

"It seems that my economics is really far behind yours!"

Rose suddenly said: "I heard from Son of the Night that you study high-energy physics. What type specifically?"

"I studied electromagnetism." Wuyue said, "But biology and physics are also good. That guy from Night is doing well with you now, isn't he?"

"What? Are you interested in joining us?"

Wuyue smiled, then pointed at the chaotic crowd in front and asked: "The enemies are almost gone, aren't you going to chase them?"

"Chase, of course." I said, pulling out a loudspeaker crystal from the Phoenix Dragon Space, putting it in front of my mouth and shouting: "Ghost-hand Nobunaga, don't run away, I have to catch you today. You still have to run……"

May looked at me with confusion, not knowing what I was doing. In fact, despite my enthusiasm in shouting, the person actually didn't move at all. However, the rb players in the chaos didn't have time to confirm my position, so they just ran more panicked.

After all the rb players ran away, I explained to Wuyue: "You want to know why I just shouted to arrest people but didn't move?" Wuyue nodded. I smiled and replied: "It's very simple. Because the enemy doesn't know that we actually don't have that many people here."

"ah?"

I smiled and winked at Rose, who immediately clapped her hands. Most of the people in the guild around her disappeared, leaving only a few people standing there. If rb players see our situation at this time, they will definitely come back shouting.

"You are cheating!" Wu Yue finally understood. "But how do you know there aren't many reinforcements coming? I've been with them on the road for so long, but I didn't realize that many of the surroundings were illusions."

Rose and I just laughed but didn't answer. In fact, I can find illusions for a reason. First, Rose winked at me as soon as she came in. With the tacit understanding between me and Rose. I can roughly guess some. In addition, because the illusion is not a real person. Therefore, their behavior often shows patterned actions. For example, the distance between steps is always the same, and the way to do something is the same. These are flaws. In the eyes of ordinary people, these flaws are very small and can be easily ignored, so they generally do not cause exposure. However, I have an electronic brain, and my ability to analyze these subtle details is much better than that of ordinary people, so these ordinary people Invisible flaws are as conspicuous to me as ink spots on white paper. certainly. I couldn’t tell May the specific reason. Although he chased me to ask, I just smiled mysteriously and didn’t say anything.

Rose saw that I had teased May, so she said to me, "Here, let me introduce someone to you."

"Who is it?" May and I both asked in confusion.

Rose waved to the remaining players on our side, and a cute-looking young man ran over immediately. This player not only has the logo of our guild, but also the logo of an elite. Obviously not the average person. He looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a round, fair, and round face that looks very funny. Otherwise, I would be afraid that people would misunderstand me as a pervert, so I really want to go up and rub him.

"Hello, President." The child greeted me as soon as he came over.

I nodded in response, and then looked at Rose. Waiting for her explanation. Rose immediately said: "His name is Xinyin, and he is an assassin by profession. But he has a very strong ability called scene copying, which is a kind of illusion."

"Then the illusion just now..." May asked tentatively.

"He did it." Rose pushed Xinyin in front of me, and then said to May, "I'm sorry. Can you let us talk alone?" May immediately nodded and went elsewhere. Rose then said to me: "Xin Yin is Uncle Wang's son."

"Uncle Wang? Which Uncle Wang?"

"That's the colleague who saved my dad." Rose said sadly.

I instantly understood who this Uncle Wang was. Rose once mentioned that her father had a savior before, and this man died trying to save her father, and this person was Uncle Wang of Rose. Since this young man is that man's son, he is considered an orphan of the military family.

Xinyin looked at me and said, "I heard Sister Rongrong say that I also know who you are, so I joined the Frost Rose Alliance."

I solemnly stretched out my hand and shook his hand, then said, "If there is anything we can do to help, please let me know."

Rose quickly regained her hearty and happy expression and said to me: "I brought him to you just because something happened. When you asked me for someone, you couldn't find anyone, so I brought him." Run away Nobunaga and the others."

"So what exactly does Xinyin need from me?"

Xinyin said to himself: "It's not entirely my fault, because when I received the mission, you were also included." As he said that, he handed me a scroll.

I unfolded the scroll and read. This is a mission scroll, to be precise, it is a related mission scroll, and it is actually the thousand-level promotion mission that I have been looking for for a long time.

"I didn't expect that the promotion task for level 1,000 is not to do tasks for myself, but to do tasks for others!"

"What?" Rose also ran over and read the scroll. It seemed that she didn't know the content before.

The main part of the mission is to require Xinyin to reach a temple deep in the red planet and obtain the sacred object, the Assassin's Soul. This mission seems very simple on the surface. In fact, it is extremely troublesome. The reason is the level difference. There is a sentence on this quest scroll that mentions that the monsters on the road are generally between level 800 and 900, and there are also some monsters at level 1,000. And Xinyin is actually only level 600. A level 600 person would definitely not be able to complete such a difficult task, so a protector is needed, and I happen to be this protector. Considering the level difference between Xinyin and the monster, he would almost die at the first touch. This protection was too difficult. But this is a promotion task, and it’s not enough if I don’t accept it. I’m really pissed off!

Xinyin said from the side: "My mission is to get the holy object and return successfully, and your mission is to prevent me from dying on the way. I know that it seems difficult on the surface, but it is actually simpler than you think."

"Oh? Tell me why?"

"Because I am an assassin." Xinyin said confidently.

My intelligence level is absolutely top-notch, and I immediately reacted to what Xinyin said. Assassins are usually killed at the moment of attack. Either the enemy dies or he dies. But Xinyin's task is to get things, which means he doesn't have to fight the monster desperately. If an assassin doesn't want to make contact with the enemy at all. Then he will almost never be killed, which means the mission is actually far less complicated than I thought. In such a mission, it is even easier to protect an assassin than to protect a tank-type warrior with high defense and thick health.

"Yes! You are an assassin, why didn't I think of that!"

Rose said: "Although the monsters on the road are difficult to deal with, they can easily break through with Zi Ri's ability. What Xinyin needs to remember is that he must not leave Zi Ri too far, and he must protect himself. As long as If you cooperate well, it will not be difficult to complete the mission. You two had better be more attentive, because the information I bought from the NPC shows that there may be a series of missions after the thousand-level promotion mission. But the final reward... you You should understand."

If you don't understand this, you'd be a fool. The series of tasks in "Zero" are notoriously complicated, but as long as you can complete them, the final reward will definitely make you feel that your hard work was worth it.

"Very good, but before we do the task, at least let me find Yinxue first."

The crab man who had been standing aside since Nobunaga's appearance suddenly came over and said: "Dear friends, you seem to be more powerful than them. Can I ask you to help us find the holy object?"

I thought for a while and said to him: "I think I know what those guys did. They first stole your sacred objects, and then used another group of people to defraud you of your tokens and promised that they were a very powerful force. . I hope you can cooperate with them?”

"how do you know?"

"Because they do this every time." I said to the Crab Man: "In fact, we don't have extra time to help you find the holy objects, but since the holy objects were taken away by the Japanese people, then we will Your sacred objects may be found at any time during the battle. I guarantee that if our people recover the sacred objects or find any relevant clues, we will notify you as soon as possible." Just as the crab man was about to speak, I quickly He stretched out his hand to stop him. "Don't be too busy thanking me. I never do business at a loss. At least you have to make me feel that this thing is not a loss."

The crab man in the middle hasn't spoken yet. The crab man next to him rushed up angrily and shouted: "You are more evil than those guys. Although they deceived us, at least they did not negotiate terms with us."

I laughed. "Poor child, can't you understand it now? You were paying the price by helping them fight against me. Do you think you are doing voluntary labor? Selling you inedible food for very little money.' Who do you prefer between profiteers and honest merchants who sell you normal food at normal prices?"

"Hmph! You guys from Blue Ball are so cunning!"

"There is no free lunch in the world. You don't really think that I will help you work in vain, do you?"

"What you said makes sense, but we really don't have any extra money to ask you for help!"

"I didn't say I wanted you to give me money. The reward doesn't have to be in material form, right?"

"Then what do you want us to do?" the Crab asked very seriously.

I smiled and said, "Don't rush yet. Before I tell you what I want you to do, you'd better answer a few questions to let me know what you can do. This way I can decide what I want you to do."

"No problem. Just ask."

I stretched out my hand to stop his noisy behavior. "Don't worry, this is not the place to talk. It's best to go to your village first, and then we sit down and talk slowly."

I deliberately didn't ask right away, just to send a message. Any living thing will unconsciously absorb a large amount of information from the environment, but this information will not be directly presented to your surface consciousness, but will subtly affect your behavior in a way similar to a computer background program. For example, in a dark ancient tomb, you will shiver unconsciously. This is actually the subconscious mind at work. It is not your subjective consciousness that is directing you to fight the cold war. I'm doing the same thing now. I consciously showed an attitude of not being in a hurry, just to let these people from the parasitic tribe know that I didn't care whether they cooperated or not. In this way, they will think that their side has insufficient bargaining chips, and subsequent negotiations will be much easier. If I urgently beg them to agree to the conditions now, it will be over. I am afraid they will not agree to any conditions in the end.

At my request, the parasitic people finally reluctantly agreed to take me to their village, but these guys asked us to go in blindfolded, otherwise they would not take us to the village. Considering that they had just lost their sacred object and were in a moment of extreme insecurity, I agreed to their request.

Under the guidance of the crab man, we passed through the complex underground caves and reached the underground world. Strictly speaking, this is the real surface of the red planet. The ground above is completely covered by the red desert. It is basically a restricted area for life. The real life on the red planet all live in this underground world. inner.

After we traveled through the underground world for a while, the crab man suddenly asked us to cover our eyes. I knew we were almost there, so I asked everyone to do the same. However, I am not a fool. Being blindfolded does not mean that I cannot see the road. The mental body of Phantom can sense the surrounding environment with the help of mental force fields, so eyes are not a necessity for me. In addition, I can also observe the surrounding things through the ghost beetle controlled by the queen who coexists with me. It doesn't matter whether I have eyes or not.

In order to prevent being discovered, I only released a few beetles to serve as security along the way, and let a ghost beetle phantom stand on my shoulder to help me see the road instead of my eyes. Of course, the crab man couldn't see my trick, and thought we didn't know the way, so he was proudly leading us around in the neighborhood, hoping to confuse our sense of direction.

After going around for about ten minutes, these guys finally determined that we had lost our direction, so they took us to an underground forest. However, we were not led into the forest, but stopped near a tree on the edge of the forest. The crab man who brought us knocked twice on the tree trunk, and the tree suddenly cracked in the middle, revealing a step leading to the lower level. These guys really know how to hide their entrances!

We were led down to the bottom of the steps by the crab man, and were quickly shocked by what we saw.
