Chapter 56 Heaven’s Response

"For this equipment!" One of them seemed to be encouraging others and encouraging himself. Others also responded to his encouragement, obviously they were unwilling to take off this equipment no matter what.

"Does this look cool?" I glanced at the eight people nonchalantly, then clapped my hands, and a white light and shadow flashed behind me. When the light and shadow returned to normal, there was already a large group of people standing behind me. Of course, it would be more accurate to say it was a large group of humanoid familiars. "There are so many of you, and you have a full set of artifacts, so I can't help you if I don't give you some face! Come and get to know my demon pets?"

"You don't want... what did you do?" Just when the pretty boy was about to speak, he noticed that the eyes of a beautiful woman standing next to me suddenly flashed with a charming light, but then he realized that it was not good and quickly closed his eyes and backed away. , however this is of no use at all.

The princess stood beside me and pointed at those people and introduced them one by one: "The coal-like woman is an assassin, fast, and has low attack power. The pretty boy next to me is a high-sensitivity warrior, with decent attack power and relatively fast speed. Over there Be careful with that tall and skinny guy. He is a mage, and the main attack depends on him. Don’t worry about the arrogant guy before. He is a human shield, specially responsible for taking beatings. Sister Yeyue will be responsible for immobilizing him first. The one at the back will be fine. The good-looking woman is the Demon Archer. She is the second damage output person in the team and needs to be attacked first. The guy next to her in ragged clothes is the Ghost Mage, a necromancer-like profession, but a specially evolved profession. , the fighting method is rather weird, but it is mainly the same as the necromancer, which has more skills. The monk at the back is a healing and auxiliary type, so it is recommended to kill it first. The particularly short guy at the front has many auxiliary movement skills. If you are a 'harassing' type of person, you can ignore him for now."

"You... how could you...?" The people on the other side panicked when they heard that their family members had been reported in full. Generally speaking, the only advantage that unknown ordinary people have when fighting against famous masters like me is their own combat characteristics. Masters who become famous are generally followed eagerly by others. Just like me, almost half of the players in the world know my tactical characteristics and combat habits. There are even many forums dedicated to studying and analyzing each of my battles. It can be said that except Except for some large-scale skills that I don't use very much myself, those people have thoroughly studied all my attributes. On the contrary, these people who were not famous before are different. Except for themselves, few people know their specific characteristics. You must be extremely careful when fighting them. If they suddenly use some side skills, they may overturn the ship of a famous master like me. But it doesn't work anymore. Just after taking a look at those guys, their specialties and various abilities were reported. The little advantage they had originally disappeared in an instant. How could they not panic?

The princess took the guy's trembling question and said, "How do you know what your specialty is? With your little mental resistance, it's not easy to talk peace or something?"

"Can you read minds?"

"It's just a simple skill to identify people, but it's still very practical, isn't it?" After the princess finished speaking, she said to me: "It is recommended to let someone like Lucky or a tank that is large enough to deal with him, or simply find someone who can fly."

I nodded, and after a little calculation in my mind, I divided the battle sequence and passed it to each demon pet. The combat effectiveness of these people is quite good. It would take a lot of effort to fight them head-on with their strength. In order to save time, I simply arranged all the magic pets that can restrain them to fight them.

When I finished the task, all the demon pets rushed forward according to the enemies I arranged. One of the advantages of attacking first is that they can freely choose their opponents. Because we analyzed the opponent's combat characteristics in advance and adopted a targeted suppression combination based on the opponent's characteristics, the battle ended unexpectedly quickly. From the time the demon pets rushed out to the last person falling, it only took a few seconds. Less than three minutes passed. After watching the last guy lie down, I casually raised my head and asked into the void in the distance: "How long do you plan on watching?"

"Did you know I was here?" A guy with a golden body and a more impressive look than me appeared in mid-air. This guy wears an extremely exaggerated armor. The armor is almost gold-colored from head to toe. In addition, the surface of the armor is studded with gems of various colors and textures. It looks like a top luxury product from a jewelry company. More than combat armor. Although he was floating in mid-air, there were no wings or anything like that behind his back. Instead, there was a circular golden circle under his feet that shone brightly. It looked no more plain than the armor on his body.

I didn't answer the guy's question, but sighed to myself: "How many things have you got from Buddhism to arm yourself with? You probably have more weapons than I do!" The guy heard this Just as I was about to boast, I continued: "Unfortunately, it's useless no matter how much you have. Equipment is only part of your strength, and what you have is not necessarily as good as mine."

Although "Zero" distinguishes levels based on the appearance of equipment, it does not mean that the more gorgeous the better. In fact, the real appearance classification should first look at the degree of gorgeousness. The shabby ones are definitely bad. Once it reaches the point where it can be called gorgeous, then the second set of identification methods should be used. As long as it is gorgeous equipment, it must be good equipment, but gorgeousness can also be divided into vulgar gorgeousness and noble gorgeousness. My magic dragon suit has a black base, with gold and red colors on the surface. Although the lines and magic patterns are gorgeous, it is more of a majestic and suppressed calmness. However, the thing of the guy in front of me is made of gems and gold, which dazzles the eyes, and the entire equipment of the upstart . When you compare the two, you can naturally tell them apart. There may not be much difference in wealth between aristocrats and nouveau riche, but aristocrats do not express everything in name, while nouveau riche are just the opposite. This is the biggest difference between the two. Advanced equipment actually follows this rule. The biggest difference between rare artifacts and common artifacts is that one has all the good stuff wrapped up, while the other has all the good stuff piled outside.

The guy opposite was obviously very angry when he heard what I said. What I meant was very obvious, that is, he had no ability and relied on the equipment provided by Buddhism to be arrogant. Although what I said is true, the truth is often the hardest to accept.

"Hmph. Ziri, you heard it. I am giving you an ultimatum on behalf of Buddhism now. After all, Buddhism is also a force of the gods. You are just a player. Don't think too highly of yourself. If Buddhism wants to twist you to death, it is better than How difficult it is to kill an ant. If you were smart, you would immediately cancel this city-building operation and go back to China."

"Where did the mad dog come from, barking everywhere?" I pretended not to see him and looked around for him. The guy was so angry that he didn't want to talk nonsense to me anymore, so he picked up his weapon and rushed over.

"Are you going on your own or are we going together?" Ling asked standing next to me.

Before I could answer the princess, I added: "That guy has a lot of good things. Can Master handle it all by himself?"

"Tch, only a fool would confront him head-on!" Although I usually like to participate in battles without the help of my magic pet, that is to hone my fighting skills, not that I am really stupid enough to have a magic pet without using it. Usually when I encounter someone who is difficult to deal with, I will still use my magic pet. The guy in front of me was created by the Buddhists who used high-end equipment to show off their shame. Even if he is an idiot, I can't possibly do it alone just because of the appearance of this magical equipment.

After hearing my words, the demon pets all understood what I meant. Seeing the guy rushing over, Lucky and Plague first sprayed out two dragon flames from both sides, which instantly completely sealed the area in front of me. If the guy wanted to keep charging in this direction, he would have to pass through the dragon flames. . Even if he was equipped with a top-notch divine weapon, he would definitely have to peel off every layer of his skin if he charged at him with all his strength against the dragon flames. This was just the beginning, and he wasn't stupid enough to let us burn him seriously. But this guy had a bunch of good equipment after all. He stopped abruptly in mid-air, and then threw a strange-looking thing at me through the flames. After the thing passed through the dragon flames, it almost lost its strength, and it actually fell into the ground in front of me. At first I thought he was throwing it in the wrong direction through the flames, but I soon realized that was not the case. The thing suddenly cracked open after landing, and then hundreds of hair-like threads burst out from it. Those threads plunged crazily into the surrounding land, and then began to drill downwards desperately. Then a green bud suddenly appeared from the shell and grew upwards at a terrifying speed.

"Back off, that's the Demon Soul Tree!" Ling's reminder made us all step aside, and the seed grew into a towering tree in just ten seconds. At first glance, this tree looks no different from a normal tree, but we soon saw that it was different. I saw that the tree suddenly bloomed hundreds of red flowers after it grew up, and then all fell down a few seconds later. After the flowers fell, a patch of red flowers quickly grew on the tree where the flowers had bloomed. There are fruits as big as watermelons, but the scary thing is that those fruits don't have any characteristics of fruits. Instead, they look like human heads hanging on the trees. Each fruit has a human face on it, some of them male, female, old or young, but without exception, all the expressions are twisted, crazy and ugly, and those who look at it feel chilled from the feet up.

"How could there be such disgusting things in Buddhism?" I asked, looking at the big tree in surprise.

Ling shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but I know this demon soul tree very well. The fruits on the tree can remotely control people's consciousness, but it should have no effect on us. Our level exceeds it. There are too many and it’s not easy to control.”

Although Ling said that our consciousness is not so easy to control, there are exceptions. All the heads on the tree suddenly turned, and they all focused on Lucky. Lucky, who had just finished spraying dragon flames, immediately rolled around on the ground with his head in his hands and screamed. Plague was afraid that he would hurt others, so he had to go up and hold him down.

"No, they want to focus on one target to enhance their control." Ling immediately discovered the other party's intention and shouted to the princess: "Use mental barrier."

"Understood." The princess snapped her fingers, and an invisible barrier suddenly appeared around the big tree. Lucky's headache stopped immediately.

"Be careful." I suddenly rushed to the princess and raised my hand to block a blade that suddenly stretched out from the void. But the problem was that although the blade almost cut off the princess's head, the second half of the blade was still in the void. , and corresponding to the movement of the guy in the distance, the second half of the blade should still be held in his hand. In other words, he used a gap in space to extend the knife directly to the side of the princess's neck. This kind of weird attack method is really rare.

"There's something wrong with that guy's knife." The princess mentioned.

"Don't split up. Let's go together and kill him as soon as possible." Following my order, all the demon pets immediately swarmed up.

If my personal combat power is calculated as one hundred, the combat power of my magic pets is basically between forty and one hundred and fifty. When I cooperate with any one or two magic pets, this number will be It rises to more than 500, and when all my demon pets attack at the same time, and there is only one target, the actual combat power may soar to over 10,000. Although the guy opposite had good equipment, it was far behind compared to my magic pets. Ling and Xiaochun's joint magic bombing blocked his sight. After he blocked their magic, he encountered the king's close-range fast attack. After dozens of moves in a short period of time, the two separated. The guy didn't even have time to take a breath before he was tied up by the rose vines that suddenly emerged from the ground. Before he could react, Yeyue's petrification skill turned one of his arms and half of his shoulders into stone, and then the rose vine threw him into the air. Lucky and Plague attacked him from both sides with a blast of dragon flames, roasting him till he was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The guy with the last remaining bite was blasted to pieces by a magic crystal shell from the tank in mid-air as he was falling. In the end, he was not even a corpse. Nothing left. Although equipment is important, if your own technology cannot keep up, its power will actually be very limited.

After finishing this guy, the surrounding guild players cheered. I asked them to clean up the battlefield, then took back the magic pet and returned to the city with Kristina to prepare for the next attack from Buddhism. The current contract city can be said to be the reminder of Buddhism. For us, this is just a task. It is good to complete it. If we fail to complete it, we will lose some benefits. But for Buddhism, the meaning is completely different. For them, this is the key to life and death, so they will never give up so easily. These people armed with artifacts and equipment are just an attempt. If they succeed, Buddhism will naturally be happy. If they fail, they will not lose anything. Those artifact sets all have contracts on them. They will be automatically taken back if the mission fails, and there will be no remaining items at all.

"Done?" When I returned to the city, several major leaders of the guild were actually there.

"Why are you all back?"

"Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. We don't need the rest. We might as well keep an eye on the progress here to speed up the process." After Ying finished speaking, he pointed to the outside of the city and asked, "Are those sent by the Buddhist sect?"

I nodded. "There are a total of nine people before and after, all of whom are equipped with full artifacts. However, the quality of those people is only second-rate, third-level, sixth-level, and first-rate. Even with full artifact suits, their power is less than 30%. They are simply sent by Buddhism to disgust us."

Rose shook her head and said, "Actually, I think Buddhism has another purpose in giving these people such good equipment."

"Any other purpose? What other purpose could they have?"

"A thousand pounds of horse bones are worth buying."

Although Rose only said five words, we instantly understood what she meant. Because I signed an agreement with the major guilds in India regarding this incident, all the top guilds in India jointly issued a notice to advise other Indian players not to get involved in this incident. These large guilds themselves already account for more than half of India's high-end military force. Coupled with their influence, it can be said that powerful people in India are basically excluded from this incident even if they have not directly signed an agreement with me. Although Buddhism really wants to summon the majority of Indian players to cause trouble for me, but because of this agreement, Buddhism can hardly find decent people to help them cause trouble for me. Therefore, Buddhism had to take measures, and these nine arrogant maniacs and idiots who came this time were the core of this plan. The meaning of Fomen is very obvious, that is, I am willing to hire such garbage people with such good things. If they are experts, the treatment will naturally be better. Buddhism is setting an example. The key is not whether they can do anything to me. The key is that they can make Indian players tempted.

"Buddhism's abacus is so powerful." Hongyue turned to ask Rose. "What do you think the probability of Indian players being bribed is?"

Rose pondered for a while and said: "To be honest, I really don't know. There are some differences in the values ​​​​and ways of looking at problems between Indians and us Chinese. What doesn't work for us doesn't necessarily work for them. I can only give a rough idea. "There is speculation that India's top players may not be attracted, but it's hard to say for some of the stronger players who don't have the cash."

Just like most desperadoes in reality are poor, those with poor equipment and no magic pets are the easiest to bribe in the game. It’s not that the poor are weaker-willed than the rich, but because the rich are not short of money, they will evaluate whether it is worth it, while the poor rely on the money to survive, and they have no choice. People with money and equipment in the game already have a lot of good things. Even if the things given by Buddhism are better, they will first weigh whether they are worth it, while those unlucky masters who have no equipment or magic pets will They will take desperate risks, and they have nothing to lose anyway.

"Although we know Buddhism's plan, how can we deal with it even if we know it?" Eagle asked.

"What do you think of our high-profile retaliation against those who caused trouble for us?" said Bai Ling, who was sitting next to Ying.

"No." Rose objected: "It's fine if we do it in our own country, but this is India. If we do this, it will arouse the same hatred among Indians. I'm afraid that not only will it be of no benefit, but it will also have the opposite effect." .”

"Then what should we do? Find help from those large guilds in India?"

Rose continued: "It is certain to ask them for help, but it can only be done by asking them to increase their control and try to suppress those few elements from participating in the attack on us. But... this is only a auxiliary method. As for the method of restraining the Buddhist actions, I haven't thought of it yet. If any of you have an idea, please put it forward. If there are many people, we may not be able to come up with any good ideas."

"Actually, I think we went in the wrong direction." Su Mei suddenly said this without any clue, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on her. Although she is young, Su Mei's IQ is definitely among the top five in the guild. No one in our guild will treat her like a child. Seeing that all of our eyes were focused on her, Su Mei could only continue to explain: "The people sent by Buddhism have been talking about peace talks and ultimatums before. Didn't you find anything?"

"Buddhists don't want to fight us?" Rose said tentatively: "But what if you know this?"

"Knowing this means we have grasped a key." Su Mei explained: "To put it bluntly, this operation is because Heaven wants those Buddhist clones to become its power, so this operation of building a city and enclosing land was carried out. From this point of analysis, Heavenly Court actually does not want to have a decisive battle with Buddhism. The reason for this arrangement is actually because Buddhism went too far. They attacked our guild and made Brother Ziri angry to cause trouble for them, and later destroyed it. Heavenly Court's efforts to make the antidote, all these actions finally forced both us and Heavenly Court to a dead end, and we all had to make up our minds to fight to the death with Buddhism. But what now? Buddhism doesn't want to fight, they realize that they want to keep their clones The price they have to pay is more than they can bear, so they want peace talks. So, since neither of us really wants to fight this war, why do we continue this war?"

"You mean not to build a city? Have peace talks with Buddhism?" Hong Yue asked in surprise.

"It's not that we don't build the city. The city is already like this. If we stop, all the investment will be in vain. We just cancel the hostility with Buddhism, so that building the city will become irrelevant."

Just when everyone was thinking about this possibility, Rose suddenly said: "I think Su Mei made something wrong."

"Ah?" Sumei looked at Rose in surprise and waited for her next words.

"First, you said that the Buddhists realized that the sacrifice was greater than what they could bear, and therefore hoped for peace talks. This is actually not correct. The Buddhists sabotaged our actions before just because they did not want to lose their clones. Later, they found out that we planned to take the big The fact that the entire Leiyin Temple entered Chinese territory is the reason why they really realized the crisis. Secondly, it is actually impossible to negotiate a ceasefire with Buddhism."

"Why?" Su Mei asked curiously.

"Because the Buddhist nest cannot be moved."

After hearing this explanation, we all started to think about it, and everyone started shouting almost at the same time. "oh!"

In fact, this is very simple if you understand it. We have invested so much money in building such a city. Although Heaven has promised to reimburse us for part of it, it is not the full amount. There are also some non-material investments that cannot be reimbursed, which means that we ourselves are also A lot of money was invested in this contract city, so it was impossible to give up on building the city. Then, the remaining question is heaven and Buddhism. Of course Buddhism hopes for a ceasefire, but how to guarantee it? Their home base cannot be relocated. Once the Contract City is built, the Great Thunder Sound Temple will inevitably be included in the Chinese territory, and once Buddhism becomes an outright Chinese divine force, the Heavenly Court will inevitably launch a war. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. In the past, it was because the two sides were about the same strength, so they had to endure and restrain themselves because they did not want to lose both sides. Now, Buddhism and Heaven are not on the same level at all, and Heaven has no reason to be merciful. Since Heaven will not tolerate the Buddhists who were finally driven away from returning to China, then the war agreement will definitely not be completed, so the peace talks mentioned by Su Mei are simply impossible.

Once we understand this problem, the peace talks will be in vain, unless the gods in heaven suddenly have a collective brain short-circuit, or our guild is willing to give up the construction of the contract city. However, the fact is that our association will never sacrifice itself for the benefit of Heaven and Buddhism, and it is absolutely impossible for Heaven to agree to peace talks with all the gods.

"In this case, the problem will become more complicated!" Su Mei continued to ponder for a while and said: "If we don't have peace talks with Buddhism, we can only find a way to prevent Buddhism from inviting high-level players to help. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Brother Ziri is, As long as Buddhism shamelessly strengthens one or a group of unlucky guys with some fighting skills, Brother Ziri will definitely not be able to stop it. Besides, Buddhism may not hang themselves from a tree, they may also think of other ways to fight with them. We look for trouble.”

"Since Buddhism can use equipment assault to strengthen some masters, why don't we ask Heavenly Court for some good equipment and strengthen a master army? If nothing else, the elite team and hunter team of our guild only need to replace all artifacts Suit, the combat effectiveness is actually not much weaker than when the president does not borrow the magic pet." Kristina suggested.

"It's impossible." Rose said: "Buddhism is now in a life-and-death situation, so it will naturally do whatever it takes regardless of its image, but Heaven is different, they haven't reached that point yet. Winning brings more benefits, losing is nothing more than reaching The meat from your mouth is just flying away, there is no need to lose the image you have worked so hard to build."

"That's it!" Kristina was a little disappointed after hearing this, but she quickly jumped up and said, "By the way, I suddenly thought of a way. Although it is relatively rogue, the effect should be good."

"What solution?" Everyone looked at Kristina waiting for her solution.

"It's very simple! Even if those people are tempted by this Buddhist action to accept the Buddhist mission, they have to enter the Great Leiyin Temple to accept the mission, right? We sent people to destroy the teleportation array of the Great Leiyin Temple. Then let people intercept the Indian players who enter the Great Leiyin Temple from the road? If no one can enter, they will naturally not be able to receive the mission. No matter how strong those people will become after getting the equipment, as long as they are not allowed to Just get the equipment.”

After listening to Kristina's method, our eyes almost all lit up. Before, we had been thinking about how to carry out big actions and policies to restrain Buddhism, but we did not expect to start from small things. What a failure! Although Kristina's method is simple, the effect is definitely good.

"Now that we have decided, we have to act quickly, otherwise Buddhism will come up with a bunch of enhanced players and we will be busy again!" Rose said: "Husband, you should go and do it yourself to destroy the teleportation array! Teleportation! The formation is built inside the Great Leiyin Temple, it is difficult for us to enter now, only you have hope."

Kristina suddenly raised her hand again and said: "Actually, I don't think the president needs to go there in person." Seeing our confused looks, she quickly explained: "Look for those from the Indian guilds that have signed an agreement with us. Just pretend to take a mission, sneak in, throw a bomb and run away. No matter how powerful President Ziri is, it is impossible to compete head-on with a bunch of gods. The Great Leiyin Temple itself is the lair of Buddhism, and everything inside must be under their influence. Within the scope, it is not easy for President Ziri to sneak in."

I nodded and said, "That's it. Kristina, take the people to block the people walking into the Great Leiyin Temple, and I'll notify the Indian Guild to help me blow up the teleportation array of the Great Leiyin Temple."

After the matter was confirmed, Kristina and I went our separate ways to do things, while the rest stayed to supervise the construction of the city. It was extremely easy for me to handle the matter here, because it was not a big deal in itself, so the people in the Indian guild agreed readily, and under my supervision, the efficiency of the work was also much faster, almost in one An hour later, the teleportation point of Da Leiyin Temple was successfully destroyed. However, this mission cannot end so simply, because the teleportation point can be rebuilt, and blowing it up can last for about ten hours at most, and it may not even take that long to recover. Therefore, we arranged for some Indian players to continuously test whether the teleportation array of the Great Leiyin Temple has restored its function. As soon as it is restored, they will teleport to it and blow it up. Although this method cannot be commonly used, we do not intend to block the Daleiyin Temple for a long time anyway. As long as the contract city is established and confirmed, Heavenly Court can begin to attack Buddhism, and by then, it will be no longer necessary to worry about the teleportation array.

By the time I returned to Contract City, it was already early the next morning, but the construction site of Contract City was still busy. At this time, the main framework of the city has been basically completed, and the city walls are almost to the top. Construction of some auxiliary civilian facilities within the city has begun, various forts are in place, the Babel Tower in the center of the city has been completely repaired, and the aerial city core above has also been completed. The twelve auxiliary aerial turrets that are undergoing final installation above the city wall have entered the final stage. Once the city wall is completed, the traction device can be connected to move it in the air along the city wall. However, although it is not possible to move yet, it is possible to shoot. However, the forts are currently evenly distributed over the city wall and cannot be concentrated in one direction for the time being.

I entered the city and summoned a large number of transformed creatures to help build the city. Although I am not a full-time construction worker, I can still help. When the members of the guild saw me personally participating in the construction at the site, they were all very motivated and working hard to make repairs. However, this harmonious atmosphere only lasted less than an hour before it was broken.

"What? Say it again?" I looked at Zizhu Fairy and asked in surprise.

Fairy Zizhu repeated without any concern: "According to the news from Heaven's internal network, since you have blocked the way for Indian players to enter the Great Leiyin Temple, Buddhism cannot strengthen the large number of players who come to destroy the city's construction, so Buddhism came up with a plan. An even more shameless method. They sent many novice monks everywhere to contact the presidents of the Indian guilds, promising to strengthen their entire guild as long as they were willing to help, and each member would receive equipment."

"Help? What help?" asked Rose standing nearby.

"Speaking of helping is actually just borrowing a name. Buddhism plans to force each mythical beast or Buddha to a guild for a symbolic price of one copper plate, and then use the name of this guild to directly send troops to attack you. "

"Damn, is this too shameless?" I cursed together with the people around me who heard Fairy Zizhu's narration. In Buddhism, this is simply the behavior of a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry. One copper plate and one mythical beast, how about hawking? The current behavior of Buddhism is like I went to Heaven to buy heavenly soldiers as the NPC troops of our guild, but Heaven sold all the strong men such as Erlang Shen, Nezha, and Sun Wukong to me for the price of one copper plate. Do you think that if I take such a group of so-called heavenly soldiers to attack any country, is there any chance of failure? Of course, Heavenly Court will definitely not do this unless they are also 'forced' to become Buddhists. But Buddhism is indeed at the end of its rope now, so it's no wonder they came up with such a shameless and rogue tactic. No matter which guild accepts this condition, it means that Buddhism can actually use the name of this guild to directly send troops. If Tathagata is shameless enough, he can even sell himself and Guanyin for a copper coin, and then come to the front line together to pretend to be other people's guild NPC troops to attack our city. If that happens, let alone Zizhu Fairy and Sun Wukong, they can only help me kill one person every day. Even if their restrictions are lifted and they can participate in the war without restrictions, they will definitely not be able to do it.

"Then what should we do now?" Hongyue asked anxiously.

The big pot of rice suddenly jumped out and said excitedly: "I know a way that can not only resolve this crisis but also make a lot of money."

"What's the solution?" Although we didn't believe that Da Guofan, a guy who was always unreliable in his words, could come up with a solution, we still listened attentively.

"Hey, actually this method is very simple. We just need to find some Indians who are absolutely loyal to our guild, and then form a small guild to negotiate with the Buddhists to buy out all their high-level gods, and then not attack us. . Anyway, after buying it, those gods and Buddhas will become the subordinates of the guild, and they will have to obey them in everything they do. When the time comes, we will command those Indians, and those Indians will command those Buddhists, won’t all the Buddhists become proud? Have you killed our men? Haha, such a good deal is really exciting! Ouch..."

The big pot of rice was dancing happily, but was kicked out by Hongyue. "You are so excited! Do you think Buddhists are all idiots? There will definitely be additional clauses before signing this kind of deal. It is enough for Buddhism to add one clause and automatically terminate the affiliation after beating us. Is it still a good deal? Do you think Are all Buddhists as stupid as you?"

Although it turns out that the words of a big pot are always so unreliable, at least he relieved the depressing atmosphere at the event. We were frightened when we heard that Buddhism used such a shameless strategy. After all, once an Indian guild agrees to lend its guild name to Buddhism, it means that Buddhism can directly launch any level of attack on our guild. . That basically means that we have to fight against the entire Buddhism alone. Before the area near Contract City became Chinese territory, Heavenly Court could not give us much support, and our chance of winning against Buddhism head-on was almost zero. A few hours ago, I thought I had stabilized the Buddhist side, but I didn't expect that I was in a different position!

Sun Wukong, who came with Fairy Zizhu, said to us: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although Buddhism's plan this time is shameless, it cannot be truly unscrupulous. At least Tathagata and Guanyin are unlikely to directly participate in the war. In addition, Heavenly Court It’s not that we can’t help at all. If Buddhism really sends experts, we will also find ways to support them.”

"If you should change it to yes." I said: "As long as Buddhism is willing to give benefits, there will definitely be Indian guilds willing to let them use their own names to send troops. Even some retail players temporarily form a guild for the benefit. Impossible, anyway, it’s just to borrow a name, and they don’t need to take the lead, so no fool would do it!”

"Then what should we do now?" Eagle asked.

I thought for a while and said: "There is no good way at the moment, we can only adapt to the changes by staying the same. You continue to urge us to speed up the city construction. The faster we go, the less pressure we will have to bear. Rose, go back to Essinger. Go and mobilize the troops quickly, we definitely can’t defend this place with just these few people. Fairy Zizhu, Great Sage, let’s go back to Heaven to discuss how Heaven can support us, right?”

"Okay. Come with us."

After arranging things in Contract City, I teleported to Heaven together with Sun Wukong and Zizhu Fairy. The Jade Emperor was not surprised at all when he saw me appearing. "How's it going? Did I guess it right? I said he would definitely come over and ask for benefits from us."

"Your Majesty is really clever." Taibai Jinxing followed suit and started to flatter him.

"Hey, how long has it been since you started joking? I'm really pissed off! Are you going to tell me what kind of support you can give? Let me say it first. I definitely can't stop those shameless Buddhists on my own. It belongs to that guy. Don’t blame me if you can’t save the Buddhist clone.”

"Don't be angry! In fact, we have already discussed how to help you."

The Jade Emperor's words made me slightly stunned. "Did we discuss it? How did we arrange it?"

The Jade Emperor gave Taibai Jinxing a signal, and Taibai Jinxing immediately shouted to the outside: "Bring it up." Several golden warriors from heaven came out carrying eight large boxes. They carried the boxes to the middle of the hall, and then put the boxes down. Withdrew again. After Taibai Jinxing waited for the golden warriors to exit, he gestured towards the box at me, obviously letting me go and take a look.

I walked to one of the boxes and opened the cover. What I saw was a layer of honeycomb-shaped compartments, all of which were hexagonal grids, and a white jade bottle was placed in each grid. Looking at the height of the bottle, it was obvious that there was more than just this layer of partitions in the box, there must be many more layers below.

Taibaijinxing explained after I opened the box. "Each box contains 13,000 porcelain bottles. Each bottle contains three Dragon Essence and Tiger Soul Pills. Anyone who takes one can get twelve hours, that is, twenty-four hours. The power of the dragon and tiger can strengthen the combat power tenfold during this period, and can partially resist the effects of divine power. Eight boxes are enough for you to gather 100,000 divine warriors. Blocking the Buddhist gate for three days will officially take effect. We can directly send troops to help you destroy Buddhism. How about it? With this help, do you still need to worry about Buddhism causing trouble?"

"Correction, I am helping you deal with Buddhism, not you helping me deal with Buddhism. In addition, there are a lot of talking about one hundred thousand divine warriors, but can divine warriors really stop the people of Buddhism? Those are the gods, even if our Even if everyone is strengthened tenfold and some of the divine power is offset, it still won't reach the average combat power of the gods, right?"

"After all, this Dragon Essence and Tiger Soul Pill is just an external aid. Naturally, it can't turn all of your people into as strong as the gods. However, as long as you take this pill, you will have the strength to fight. If you fight a few of them, you can still win. It’s impossible for the Buddhists to send out all their troops, you have 100,000 divine warriors which should be enough to cope with it.”

"A few against each other? On the other hand, how many times more casualties will we suffer than those of Buddhism? Whose loss is this?"

"It's ours, it's ours." The Jade Emperor quickly added: "After this incident is over, we will give your guild double the number of upgrade pills based on the number of people. Each pill can replenish Level one, you shouldn’t sacrifice everyone in the guild twice, right? In this way, you will definitely make a profit."

I nodded. "These elixirs are enough, but in addition to miscellaneous soldiers, Buddhism will inevitably have some masters participating in the battle. Even if Tathagata and Guanyin do not participate, there is no guarantee that guys like Baoxiang King and Fudo Pluto will not participate in the battle. If these One or two people come out, what do you want me to do to stop them?"

"Use this." Taishang Laojun suddenly walked in from behind me. He walked up to me and took out a red gourd from his sleeve, and then asked: "Do you have a container for the elixir? "

"Yes." The elixir is not an ordinary thing and cannot be filled in ordinary bottles. But when I took out my container, I was shocked because it was a giant gourd more than one meter high standing on the ground.

"Don't you have any smaller ones? Do you want to empty out all the contents in my gourd?"

"I'm sorry, most of the bottles I have on me are ordinary bottles and cannot contain elixirs. This is just a new variety grafted by our guild's biology laboratory. I brought one to play with because it is big enough."

"That's all, let's use this one!" Taishang Laojun felt frightened when he saw my gourd, which was n sizes bigger than his. He turned around and pulled out another purple one from his sleeve. The small bottle came out, and then he asked me to hold the bottle, and then he poured twelve black and red elixirs from the red gourd and put them into my small bottle.

I looked at the elixir in the bottle and asked casually: "What kind of elixir is this?"

"Violent Pill."

"Huh? Isn't this food?"

"Of course it's food. How can the elixir work if you don't eat it?"

"But isn't this thing called Exploding Pill? Judging from the name, it should explode after being eaten. Do you want me to send someone to act as a suicide bomb in a 'suicide' attack?"

"What kind of mess are you doing?" Taishang Laojun explained: "This is Violent Pill. Violent means violent violence, Lie means fierce fire. It is called Violent Pill because of its violent power. The effect is strong, that’s why it’s called violent, it doesn’t mean it will explode!”

"I see! I understand. So how does this thing work?"

"Does it work...?" At this point, Taishang Laojun paused unexpectedly, his eyes were all over the place and he didn't dare to look at me. There was obviously something wrong. "This...actually the purpose of this thing is to strengthen your combat power, allowing you to gain extraordinary strength in a short period of time. Anyway, just eat it when you encounter a Buddhist who cannot be suppressed by your numerical advantage."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Looking at your evasive eyes, this thing must have serious side effects. Tell me quickly, what's going on? Don't let it slip at the critical moment on the battlefield."

Being asked bluntly by me, I had no choice but to explain helplessly: "Well...actually, this violent pill is a defective product that I accidentally refined. There are only twelve pills in total."

"Defective products?"

"Actually, it's not completely defective. The original design goals have been achieved, but it has a few side effects."

"What exactly does it do?"

"It's just...it's...sigh...I'll tell you the truth! The function of this thing is to allow you to gain more than a hundred times your strength in a short period of time. No matter what attributes you are, they will all be improved a hundred times, even for a mortal. If you eat it, you can immediately be on par with the gods. Mortals like you, who are already close to catching up with the strength of the gods, can surpass many gods and sweep across the heavens. However, the 'medicine' effect of this thing is too strong. After eating it, After taking it, you will feel the pain in the muscles all over your body like fire, and it will gradually get stronger as time goes by. In addition, when the medicine reaches the final stage, you will have an uncontrollable desire to have sex with the opposite sex. The way of yin and yang.”

"Damn, why does it sound so much like Viagra?"

"What kind of elixir is Viagra? Why haven't I heard of it?" Taishang Laojun asked curiously.

Viagra is a drug for yang, so naturally you have never heard of him as a god in the game. But speaking of it, the thing he made is really similar to Viagra. It can increase a person's physical energy in a short period of time, allowing you to have an explosion, and it will also have some aphrodisiac effects afterwards. Of course, it is impossible for me to tell Taishang Laojun what Viagra is, otherwise he would have to kill me if he knew that I compared the elixir to Viagra.

"I heard you say that it's very uncomfortable to eat this food, plus you have to have sex with a woman every time you eat it, right?"

"Roughly the same."

"That's not too much trouble!" I said doubtfully, "I'm not a bachelor, so I can just let my wife wait behind me. As for a little bit of pain, just grit your teeth and get over it as a man."

"It's not as simple as you think." Taishang Laojun explained: "This 'medicine' uses extreme nerve stimulation to strengthen your strength, which is equivalent to 'pushing' out all your potential. That kind of pain It's definitely not something you can hold back by gritting your teeth. But the pain will drive you crazy, and at this time your sensitivity to damage will also become very low, so you will be extremely brave on the battlefield. But because you will lose your mind to a certain extent , so you will definitely be injured, and the medicinal power of this thing is relatively short, it will take effect five seconds after you eat it, and the effect can only last three minutes."

"three minutes?"

"In fact, it's not even three minutes. Because after the first two minutes and thirty seconds, you have basically lost your mind. Later, you have to run back to your wife to solve the sequelae, so...!"

"So there's really only two and a half minutes of effective time, right?"

"Absolutely! Some people's time will vary due to physical differences, but the error will not exceed ten seconds at most."

"Okay, I understand. But you must make sure that this thing allows me to kill a high-level god within two and a half minutes, otherwise you will be responsible if I fail the mission."

"As long as you don't give in, I'll guarantee it."

Now that Taishang Laojun has guaranteed the quality, I can no longer doubt anything. However, in the spirit of getting what I can, I just deceived another golden elixir from Taishang Laojun. This thing is different from the defective Violent Pill that Taishang Laojun gave me just now. This is an absolute first-class product, and it is considered a very precious thing among the gods in heaven. The function of this thing is to permanently increase the user's cultivation level by 10%, and within three days after taking it, the strength will rise to more than fifty times the normal value. Although it is not as exaggerated as the effect of Violent Pill, this The advantage of this thing is that it has no side effects, and it can permanently improve part of the strength. It is many times stronger than the Violent Pill.

After cheating me of this Dao Jindan, I couldn't do anything anymore, so I just took the thing and left. When everyone in Contract City saw me coming back, they quickly surrounded me.

"How is it? What did Heaven say?"

I took out all the Dragon Essence and Tiger Soul Pills and put them on the ground, and then explained the arrangements of the Heavenly Court to them. After hearing this, everyone had different reactions. Rose was planning to use less of it, and the Dragon Essence Tiger Soul Pill she had taken was equivalent to what she had earned. Ying was planning to consider whether these Dragon Essence and Tiger Soul Pills were enough, while Hongyue was thinking that with these Dragon Essence and Tiger Soul Pills, she could have a big fight with the people of Buddhism.

I interrupted everyone's thoughts and announced: "Hongyue, you are responsible for selecting an elite force as soon as possible and sending these Dragon Essence and Tiger Soul Pills to them. Once the people from Buddhism arrive, they can only rely on taking the Dragon Essence and Tiger Soul Pills." Dan's people resisted. When ordinary people encounter the Gods, they are just like chopping melons and vegetables. No matter how many there are, it won't matter."

As soon as Rose heard that all the people were going to be given out, she immediately suggested: "It's best to divide the people who are given out into teams. If there are not many people from Buddhism, don't eat together. It would be a pity if it is wasted. We can use the old Buddhist saying The number of people will definitely allow many people to eat the Dragon Essence and Tiger Soul Pill, and the rest can be hoarded, maybe it will be useful in the future."

"It makes sense. Let's arrange it this way."

With the solution to Buddhism's shameless behavior, everyone feels a lot more at ease, but relaxation is absolutely not possible. Not only must urban construction not slow down, it must also be accelerated. Fortunately, most of the defense projects have been completed, and the remaining civilian facilities can be slowly repaired after the city is established. In addition, although we have a way to deal with the shameless tactics of the Buddhists, we can't wait here for the Buddhists to come to us. Therefore, after leaving everything to Rose and the others, I left the contract city alone to contact and discuss matters. People from the Indian guild that we signed up with. My plan is to try to cause trouble with the Buddhists and prevent them from finding a guild willing to come forward too early. After all, if we let them launch an attack later, we will have a greater chance of winning.

In fact, I originally wanted to secretly form an Indian guild to take over the Buddhist mission. Anyway, it is certain that some Indians will lend their guild names to Buddhism, so instead of letting them get the benefits of Buddhism, I might as well take the benefits myself. But think about it, it doesn't work, because taking over the task of Buddhism too early will increase the difficulty of our own defense. But if we don't take it, it will be a pity to let others take it. In the end, I had to ask our guild to temporarily set up a small guild with Indian intelligence personnel to wait near the liaison personnel of Buddhism. On the one hand, I would destroy other guilds' chances of reaching an agreement with Buddhism, and on the other hand, let them do Be ready to take on tasks at any time. If I don't stop them, they will rush forward and compete with each other to see who can receive the mission first. It would be best if they succeed, and they won't lose anything if they fail. In fact, if the connection is successful, there will be another benefit, that is, although Buddhism will sign a series of agreements with this guild to prevent this guild from interfering with their actions, at least one thing is for sure - they can't hide it Follow the people in this guild. If a guild doesn't even know where its NPC troops have gone, that would be too exaggerated. Therefore, if the guild formed by our spies receives the task, not only can it get benefits, but it can also monitor the composition and movements of the other party. It is definitely a multi-purpose guild.

I started to contact our spy organization after entering the underworld, and under their guidance I quickly found the external liaison personnel of Buddhism. In fact, the liaison personnel sent out at the beginning were all novice novices. Buddhism uses a "chaotic" method to hunt down birds with one hit, and I just want to intercept these novice novices. Although Buddhism is very strong, not everyone is very strong. These little novice monks are equivalent to handymen in Buddhism. Even the heavenly soldiers in heaven can be killed by ordinary players, let alone handymen like little novice monks. The young novice I was targeting almost never made a single move, and all of them were killed in one blow. In just half a day, I killed more than 300 novice novices. According to the intelligence, Buddhism had sent so many novices in total. After excluding the ones I killed, there would be at most a dozen left. Moreover, when I attacked, I specifically selected the novices who were most likely to be able to negotiate with me first, so it was unlikely that the remaining dozen would bring back good news.

Sure enough, according to the information from the intelligence department, after discovering that novice monks were killed in large numbers, Buddhism sent out more than a dozen golden-bodied arhats with strong combat effectiveness to contact them. Although the number of people became smaller, these people were relatively strong. Just ask the guilds one by one. In the past, I could always find a guild that was willing to cooperate.

Taking into account the increasing strength of the Buddhist envoys, I immediately began to enter the second stage, specifically intercepting players who came to cooperate. I'm not afraid if Arhat can't beat the players. However, something went wrong as soon as the interception mission started.
