Chapter 23 I Lied to You

Since they have made a mistake about me, let’s just make the mistake right! Anyway, we don’t know each other, and we may not meet in the future, and I don’t bother to explain to them. "We really need help!" I paused deliberately, and an excited expression immediately appeared on Lucifer's tearful face, but my next words immediately caused his expression to fade away. "But I'm afraid you are not capable enough to accept this task!"

Domingue saw me pretending to be an NPC and sending random quests, and quickly turned his head and whispered into my ear. "Don't give out random tasks. We must fulfill our word! If they really complete the task by then, we will reward them!"

I also whispered: "Don't you have a cart full of alchemist tutorial materials? Just give each of them a copy! Otherwise, give them some empty rewards such as titles!"

"You are so dark!" Domingue returned to his original stance. It seemed that he agreed with me.

"Your Excellency General, you can test us and we can prove our strength." Lucifer's tears began to make him lie. Anyway, even if you can't complete the NPC, he won't trouble you. At most, the reward will be wasted.

"There's no need for a test. I'll tell you the task directly." Someone came to my door to help me with something. If I don't use it, I won't use it. "You just need to kidnap 10 teleportation magicians from any one of Yunxiao City, God City, and Goddess City. Do you know what kidnapping means?"

"I know, I will ensure that the magician is brought back alive." Lucifer's tearful eyes suddenly turned a little obscene. "I wonder if we can benefit from half-finishing it?"

"Of course I won't let your work go in vain. When you come back, I will reward each of you with an auxiliary skill book."

"Really?" Lucifer asked me excitedly. Players outside have long heard that you can get skill books by completing tasks, but so far not many people have actually gotten them. These auxiliary skills are not sold in bookstores, and monsters do not explode. You can imagine how difficult it is to obtain them. Such a difficult thing must be a good thing based on the principle of scarcity. So, a group of people nodded excitedly, expressing their willingness to take on this task.

"If you can do some damage to these three main cities while kidnapping NPCs, I will also consider giving each of you an piece of equipment." Every time I say what equipment to give, I will just rummage through some junk and give it to you. Okay, let's just say good or bad is determined randomly.

"This...!" Lucifer said with tears in his eyes, as if he was embarrassed: "It might be a little troublesome to carry out this task with only our strength. You...?" This Lucifer is really a task master, and he knows all this kind of thing. Some tasks in "Zero" can be completed by the PC who sends the task, such as the most famous sheep hunting in Novice Village. That is a task that almost everyone has done. Newbies will receive the task as long as they talk to Uncle Wang in the village. The task content requires you to help Uncle Wang find the missing lamb. There were seven lambs in total, scattered throughout the village. Of course you can complete the task by running through the whole village by yourself, but some people find that as long as you tell Uncle Wang, "I'm afraid I'm too busy by myself," Uncle Wang will say that he is responsible for the east and you are responsible for the west. In the end, you only need to take care of the village. The mission can be completed by retrieving the 4 sheep in the west. The rewards obtained by both methods are a copper plate and a pair of walking shoes, but it will be much faster if Uncle Wang helps. Since then, many people will say that they have limited power and may find it difficult when doing tasks. It turns out that many NPCs in the tasks will personally participate in the tasks to help you do it, and it never affects the amount of rewards. Since then, all players like to be humble when accepting tasks to see if the NPC will help. Now this guy is obviously inviting me to join the fight, but do I want to participate?

"You'd better go together! Attacking the three cities of light will be very helpful to the expansion of our dark forces, maybe...!" Domingue whispered next to me, because the distance was relatively far, plus Duo Ming and I Mingge wears full-coverage armor and no lip movements can be seen, so Lucifer's Tears has no idea we are talking.

"Maybe? Maybe what? Could it be...?"

Domingue suddenly laughed. "Hahahaha! I won't harm you!" After saying that, he patted my shoulder and turned to leave.

"What are you doing? I was laughing so hard that I felt so scared!" I then said to Lucifer's Tears: "Since you have difficulty in carrying out this mission, I will go with you for the time being!" I walked directly to Lucifer's Tears. beside. "Lead the way?"

Lucifer's tears were still in his eyes and he looked at me slightly suspiciously. "Will the general only take one person with him?"

Although Domingue did not expose the fact that I was pretending to be an NPC, it was still impossible for him to send troops to attack the main city of Light with me. Now I am only followed by Ling who looks like a little bird. Lucifer's Tears naturally thinks that Ling is just a non-combat NPC like a concubine used to show his status as a demon general. Originally they thought that if they invited me as a general, I would definitely bring thousands of subordinates with them, but what they didn't expect was that I was the only one who came out!

"This is a sabotage mission, not a siege. Why should I lead thousands of troops?" It was impossible to hear any flaws from my mouth.

"That's right! We misunderstood!"

I made a move, and 10 black magic circles on the ground flashed, and 10 fully armed demon knights appeared next to me. "Although I don't have thousands of troops, I can still summon these bodyguard knights at any time!" Lucifer's tears and his men were all stunned by the demon knight on the back of the heavy armored dragon. Looking up from the ground, It is easy to feel that the armored dragon is very tall, and those demon knights exude a self-evident and powerful pressure. These people were all dumbfounded, and they probably didn’t hear the rest of what I said. "Is there anything else you can do?" I asked loudly, calling their souls back.

"It's gone, it's gone!" The people around him didn't dare to say anything else this time. The pressure from the Demon Spirit Knight can make people's legs weak even without using any hands. "General, please come this way!" Lucifer's tears led the way to the outside of the canyon and I followed them.

Ling leaned into my ear and whispered: "You don't really want to destroy the system city with them, do you?"

"What? Is something wrong?"

"I think the losses will be relatively large in this case, but if it can really succeed, I think we have a second city construction plan."

"the second?"

"Yes! According to the regulations, system cities cannot launch attacks on other cities when their own city is attacked and the losses exceed 5%. Even if the troops have been sent out, they will immediately return to the rescue and will not continue to attack. .”

"What does this have to do with me building a city?"

"What are we most worried about after the completion of the project? Isn't it just that we are afraid that the three major cities will attack us? But the three major cities only have 48 hours to participate in the war, and there will definitely be a delay of 3 hours on the way. In other words, the actual siege time will not exceed 45 hours.”

"Then we can't defend it!"

"But we have a way to defend for three hours."

"What if there are still 42 hours left?"

"We attack the city!"

"Siege the city?"

"Yes, I'm going to beg my sister to send troops to attack the three main cities. Although the NPC directly helps the players to disobey the rules, the Temple of Light has attacked the territory of the Dark Temple several times in a row, and it is reasonable for us to fight back. Only this time The time to fight back was chosen at a very critical moment, and Isinger was saved by the way!"

"Besiege Wei and rescue Zhao? You can even think of this? I admire you!"

"Of course, I am not a goddess for nothing!"

I'm still a little embarrassed. "But even if you want to attack, you can't attack three cities at the same time? The three cities are geographically far apart, and their defense capabilities should not be underestimated! Besides, even if you only attack one city, you may not be able to fight for 42 hours continuously, right?"

"We are not asking to capture three cities, we are just stalling for time. The goal is to cause 5% damage first, and then slowly wear them out. Anyway, we don't want to capture the city. It shouldn't be difficult to delay for 42 hours! And we don't need to If we really fight for 42 hours, the attack will be over after 39 hours. The last three hours left are only enough for them to run to Essinger, and they will see that the city has no time to fight!"

"The method is good, let's give it a try?"

Ling finally said: "Although this method allows us to legally establish Essinger, it is very dangerous. Once it fails, the entire army will be annihilated and the guild will be disbanded. As the president, you will have to be demoted 10 levels in a row. of!"

"I know, but the disadvantages of illegal cities are still too great. I am willing to give it a try."

"I'm just telling you all the possible situations anyway. No matter what you decide, I will follow you!"

"Hey! Don't sound like we are going to die heroically! I don't think we will lose!"

"What are you two discussing?" Lucifer's tears found that Ling and I were whispering to each other all the way, so he stepped in and wanted to get close to us, maybe we could get some benefits or something.

I looked at him. "It's nothing. We are discussing the development strategy of the Dark Temple." This excuse is absolutely perfect. I don't believe you can 'interject' anything.

As I expected, Lucifer's tears stopped and he didn't dare to say anything. As we were walking, suddenly a few people in front of us turned around and pushed us into the nearby col. "Shh! Someone is coming!"

Originally, I was still trapped in the mountain and thought something had happened. After hearing what they said, I immediately pushed away a soldier who was pressing me. "This is the territory of the Dark Temple, why should I hide? Because others should hide from me!"

"Ah!" The soldier who was pressing Ling suddenly flew out and hit the opposite cliff. The soldier just stood on the opposite cliff, and we all looked at him in surprise. The warrior slowly leaned forward in the eyes of everyone, and then suddenly knelt on his legs, and then fell to the ground. I actually fainted!

Before everyone could react, they heard Ling's cry: "Who do you think I am? Are you looking for death by eating my tofu? You don't want to live and tell me!"

With tears in his eyes, Lucifer said to another soldier next to him: "Dong Xinlei, go see how the worm is doing!" The soldier immediately ran over to help the guy who was already unconscious. Lucifer turned to me and said, "I'm so sorry. I was negligent in my duty. Please don't take offense, General and Madam!"

Ling looked very angry. "When he wakes up, tell him if he dares to misbehave with me again, I'll beat him until he can't be humane for the rest of his life!"

"Brother! Haha!" The female players behind them couldn't help laughing, but were silenced by Lucifer's tearful eyes.

The man who had set off the alarm finally appeared at the corner ahead. "Finally found you!" The visitor rushed over immediately when he saw me. I could tell at a glance that it was Shura Ziyi. Although I'm happy to see her, I actually don't want her to be here at all. The guys behind me all thought I was an NPC, but when Shura Ziyi rushed over and shouted, it was completely exposed. I quickly contacted Shura Ziyi via private message. Fortunately, although she wondered why I wanted to use private message after meeting her, she still answered.

"Don't call me by my name." I first made it clear the crux of the problem. "I deceived the gang behind me. They thought I was an NPC general. Stop calling me a gang!"

Shura Ziyi closed the private chat without saying anything, and at the same time she had arrived in front of me. "General, you are so hard to find!" She changed quickly.

I deliberately pretended to be very calm and said: "So it's you! Did you complete the last mission?"

"finished!"

"Well, I'm about to lead people to attack the main city of the system. Can you join us?"

"Okay!" Shura Ziyi immediately accepted it alertly, and then introduced him to a few people behind him. "What's going on with this man?" Shura Ziyi, who had just arrived, didn't know how the soldier named "Yin" insect was beaten.

"It was an accident!" Lucifer quickly explained with tears in his eyes. After all, any attempt to molest a PC should be ignored as it has nothing to do with him.

"Then let's hurry up and complete the mission!" Shura Ziyi walked up to me and said to me. In fact, he also told everyone.

We got back on the road, and Shura Ziyi and I started communicating via private chat.

"Why did you come here?" Shura Ziyi was supposed to be killing the Japanese with the Biling at sea, but he came back inexplicably. Of course I felt very strange.

"You think I want to come? I lost the guessing game and got kicked out!"

"Kick it out? Who dares to kick you, young lady?"

"It's not that guy Ying. He will be the captain once you leave. Of course we crew members will have to be kicked!"

"You haven't said why you came?"

"For this!" After Shura Ziyi said in the private chat, he took out something and handed it to me, and said directly outside the private chat: "Oh, I almost forgot. General, this is from the mission I took on last time. Certificate, my mission has been completed, you should believe it after seeing this, right?"

"Yeah! Not bad!" I pretended to identify the authenticity of the mission items while studying the things in my hands. This is a long and narrow citrine, about the size of a bottle of mineral water, with beautiful light yellow light shining around it. To be honest, I really don’t know what this is. There are so many special items in "Zero", how do I know what they are for?

Shura Ziyi said in the private chat again: "We looted a Japanese fleet at sea. This was revealed by their captain. I originally wanted to show you through video chat, but it kept reminding you that you are unable to do so in the evil zone. Communication! So we had no choice but to decide who would make the trip by guessing, and in the end I died heroically!"

"Haha! You are so pitiful! By the way, why did you say that private chat is blocked? Can't I have a private chat with you? Isn't this considered an evil area?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, my private chat has completely failed since I got here, but you took the initiative to apply for a private chat with me and I can get through it!"

"Wait a minute while I ask Ling if he knows the situation." I leaned close to Ling's ear and asked quietly. After a while, I continued to talk to Shura Ziyi in private chat. "Ling said that this is the communication shielding area of ​​the Dark Temple. Because I drank the water from the Fountain of Evil, I have been classified as a member of the evil force. Therefore, no one's private message except me will work here. As long as I Just get out of the evil zone.”

"So that's what happened! By the way, show Ling that thing, maybe she recognizes it."

"Yes!" I handed the citrine in my hand to Ling.

Ling just glanced at it and returned it to me: "Level 1, 3-star wishing stone. There are two large boxes of this thing in the warehouse of the Dark Temple!"

"The wishing stone?" I leaned close to her ear and asked softly: "Is it something like Aladdin's magic lamp that you can rub and make a wish on?"

"Almost, but not exactly the same."

"What do you mean not exactly the same?" Ling only said half of what he said, and he was so anxious to kill me!

"The Aladdin's magic lamp you mentioned is a national artifact of Arab countries. It can make an unlimited number of wishes. You can only make one wish in a day, and any wish that is not too difficult can come true. But this thing has limitations. The number of times. If you look closely, you will find that there are 3 stars and a moon in the center of the crystal. The moon represents the level. The highest is the 10th level wishing stone with 10 moons. It is said that any wish can come true with the 10th level wishing stone. The higher the moon The lower the level, the wishing stone will execute the wish when your team's wishing stone says it. However, low-level wishing stones will often go wrong if they encounter too high-level tasks, and the result will be counterproductive. For example, if you say a wish to a first-level wishing stone, I hope that I can rise to level 1000 at once, but in the end, I will often fall back to level 0!

Look at the 3 stars again, which represent the number of wishes. A 3-star wishing stone can make 3 wishes. Every time you make a wish, one star will disappear. When all the stars disappear, the wishing stone will break into powder. "

"That means this wishing stone in my hand has the lowest power? Does it mean that as long as I make a simple wish on it, it will definitely come true?"

"No, the success rate is random. It's possible that you made a very difficult wish, but it came true, or it's possible that you made a low-level wish and failed. This is all uncertain, and the effect is random. , the counter-effects of a failed wish may not necessarily be so powerful. It may range from not punishing you to turning you into a new person with nothing. However, the success rate of high-level wishing stones is higher than that of low-level wishing stones. This is certain! For example, if you say to a level 10 wishing stone that you want to upgrade yourself to a level, the failure of this wish may be almost zero, but if you say to a level 1 wishing stone that you want to upgrade to a level of 500, the wish will almost certainly fail. It’s possible!”

"After all, you're just trying your luck on a bet, right?"

"Yes, and there is a penalty for guessing wrong."

"Okay, I got it!" I regained my posture and told Shura Ziyi Ling's explanation via private chat.

After hearing this, Ziyi immediately walked around between me and Ling and said to Ling, "How do you use this thing?"

"Just hold it in front of your chest with both hands, then close your eyes and say in your mind: 'I make a wish,' and then say your wish. Remember one wish at a time. If you say more than one, it's 100% guaranteed." The failure rate is amazing!”

After asking about how to use it, Shura Ziyi said to me in a private chat: "Can you give me a chance to make a wish?"

"You guys beat me, why are you asking me?"

"But the boat belongs to you! Other guilds raise funds to build boats, but our guild builds boats alone, so you are the sole proprietor. All the income from fishing boats and fishing goes to the boat owners, and we are just helping You’re just a fisherman!”

"Look at what you said, I'm acting like a capitalist! If you want to use it, just use it! You don't have to ask me!"

"Okay, I'll make one wish and give you the rest." Shura Ziyi held the crystal in front of his chest, closed his eyes and started to make a wish. Because we were still moving forward, in order to prevent her from falling, I asked Ling Ban to hold her up. Since we were walking at the back of the team, they couldn't see Lucifer's tears anyway.
