Volume 19 Chapter 121: Bluffing Toys

"Good job." I gave a thumbs up to the Queen of Blades and the ghost, and then I turned around and killed the last remaining freedom fighter, and even threw the body into the Phoenix Dragon Space for complete disposal to prevent Later, the problem was discovered by the Free Gods. Of course, the group of protoss soldiers that were killed before cannot be left behind, they must all be cleaned up, and the hole under the ground where they came out also needs to be checked.

It didn't take long to dispose of the body, but getting to the hole below delayed us a little. The main reason is not that the cave is too big, but that there are actually gods inside, and there seem to be quite a few of them. I asked the Gun God to help guard the exit. I went down with Blade and Ghost to kill all the Free Gods in all the caves. Finally, I searched the cave again and confirmed that there was nothing valuable. After taking the things, I left a bomb here, a special bomb.

"What on earth were you doing in the cave?" Gunslinger asked as I dragged him running wildly.

"You'll know later." After running for a while with the gunman, I felt that the distance was almost the same, so I stopped moving forward and turned around to look at the place where we left.

When the gunman saw us stopping, he also stopped and stared over there with us. Initially, he thought we had installed a bomb or something inside, but when the thing exploded, he was stunned because the explosion and flames he expected did not appear. Instead, an expanding ball of light emerged from the explosion. It rose from the ground and framed a large area around it. When the light ball expanded to its limit, it suddenly flashed, then instantly shrank inward into a light spot, and then completely disappeared into the air like an exploding soap bubble.

There was no explosion, no fire, no sound, and even the original land and mountains on the ground were gone. The entire underground base, including the nearby rocks and soil, seemed to have suddenly evaporated, leaving only a round hole on the ground with an extremely smooth cross-section, as if it had been polished.

"This, this, this... what on earth is this?" To be honest, the gunman was frightened. Although this thing does not explode, it can completely eliminate the target, which is simply more terrifying than a direct explosion. Imagine if this thing was not thrown in an underground base, but in a city of the Holy Spear League, then the result... The gun god couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing the gun god's expression, I knew he was thinking wrong. "You don't think that the underground base just now was wiped out, do you?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. Do you know what level of energy burst is required to destroy something of such a large size?"

"Then what happened just now? Don't tell me it was an illusion?"

"Hehe, actually it doesn't feel magical anymore when you say it. Anyway, you just know that this thing can't be used in actual combat. It can only be regarded as a small toy."

The gunman grabbed my shoulders like crazy and shook me desperately while shouting: "Small toy? You call this a small toy?" He pointed to the big pit over there with one hand and said: "Look at it? It's equivalent to a small toy." You've destroyed everything in the city area, and you actually call it a small toy? Whose toy can be so powerful? The God of Creation?"

"Calm down, calm down." I quickly held down the gunman who was like a clockwork rabbit, and then reached out and pulled out an oval object the size of an egg. This strange egg-shaped object with a green surface and a metal pattern on the outside does not look like a weapon, but it is very similar to the egg carvings in handicrafts, just as gorgeous and dreamy. But... "This is what I used just now. If you can calm down, I will give this to you."

The gunman immediately froze after hearing my words, then looked back and forth between my face and the metal egg several times, and finally suddenly returned to his serious look, and then said in a steady voice: "I'm fine. Really." Seeing that this guy finally stopped going crazy, I smiled and stuffed the egg into his hand. After the gunman took the egg, he immediately started playing with it in his hands, but he couldn't find any mechanism or anything like that after turning it over and over, so he asked me, "How do I use this thing?"

I took out another one from my body, and then showed it while saying: "Look. Hold both sides like this, and then rotate it in the opposite direction. When you feel the eggshell loosen, pull it to both sides, then press it back, and then throw it out. That’s it.”

Seeing me throwing the thing in my hand, the gunman immediately turned around and ran away. As a result, he didn't realize that I hadn't followed him until he ran dozens of meters away. This guy turned around and asked me quite conscientiously: "Why are you still standing there? Run!"

"This one is small, not that powerful."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a light ball rising from the place where the previous egg landed. Then it zoomed in and out in the same way, finally leaving a large crater with a radius of more than five meters on the ground.

Seeing that the thing was indeed much less powerful, the gunman ran back again, then looked at the one I gave him and asked me: "How powerful is this thing of mine?"

"It's the same as the one I just threw, with a radius of 5.8 meters. What? You want the big one before?" Without waiting for the gun god to nod, I directly pulled out a piece as big as a winter melon from the Phoenix Dragon space. out. "This is the kind that makes underground bases disappear. But this thing is really just a toy and cannot be used in war."

"Why?" Gunslinger asked while happily studying the oversized bomb on the ground.

"Because..." I suddenly clicked on the winter melon-like bomb just before, and then stepped back on a small cylinder that popped up, and then the entire bomb suddenly lit up.

The gunman was startled by my sudden move. He got up and wanted to run, but after thinking about it, he gave up. The explosion radius of the previous thing was only a few kilometers, and at his speed, there was no time to run out of the explosion range. However, just when he was about to ask me why I activated the bomb, the bomb suddenly flashed and then completely disappeared. Of course, except for the bomb itself, nothing at the scene disappeared.

"How is this going?"

"The first thing is to show you how to use this thing. Of course, if you need to set the explosion time, you can rotate the small cylinder I stepped on just now. There is a scale on it. One grid is one minute, and the maximum is one hour. Adjust it to At the right time, press down the small cylinder and the timing will start. If there is no rotation, it will detonate immediately. However, just starting this thing can be regarded as proving to you that this thing cannot be used in actual combat. You I’ve also seen that this thing can’t kill us all.”

"But just now..."

"You just annihilated an underground base, right? In fact, it was not annihilation, but teleportation."

"Teleport?"

"Yes. It's just like the teleportation array, but it's not the kind of teleportation that passively accepts teleportation orders, but forced teleportation. It doesn't consider whether the people within its range are willing or not, and forces everything within the coverage area to be teleported."

"Where was the underground base just transported to?"

"It should be everywhere."

The Gunslinger was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses. "Incomplete transmission?"

"Yes, that's the truth."

Generally, normal teleportation requires first sending the teleported thing into the space channel, and then pulling the thing back to the real world from the destination. Only in this way can the entire teleportation process be completed. The so-called incomplete transmission means that the entire process of normal transmission is not completed, and only one or a few parts of it are completed. Of course, whether you only complete one step or miss one step, the final result is the same - the teleportation object will be forcibly thrown out of the space channel. Those who are lucky may be thrown anywhere, while those who are unlucky may be teleported to many places. Although most people don’t want their body parts to reach different places, no one can guarantee that this will not happen?

Just like most things are easier to destroy than to build. It is not easy to safely teleport a person or an object to a designated target point. This not only requires a large amount of energy, but also requires accurate coordinates and a complete magic release process. However, if you just want to send something or someone into the space channel and don't care where it will be sent, that is much simpler.

I looked at the suddenly enlightened Gunslinger and said: "After research by our guild, this special transmission device can transport objects into the space channel, and then ensure that they will be broken down into at least ten thousand fragments. As for the last fragments Where they will appear is not a problem we need to consider. In addition, by the way, 10,000 copies is just a conservative estimate. In fact, the experiments we have done so far show that in most cases the transported objects will be decomposed It exists at the atomic level, so basically nothing can be preserved that can be used as evidence.”

"It was broken down into atoms? You still call this thing a toy? It can break down everything as big as a small city into atoms. This thing is simply more powerful than a nuclear weapon!"

"No, if it can really break down everything to the atomic level, then of course it can be used as a weapon of mass destruction, but as I said before, this thing is just a teleportation spell, and it is forced teleportation. , so the energy it generates must offset the active energy in the material being transported before the forced transmission can be completed. To put it simply, this thing cannot transport life forms and high-energy substances with higher energy levels than it. For example, when we two When you stand here, it will be completely ineffective. Of course, if you pile up a bunch of magic crystals here, it will also cause the transmission to fail, because the magic crystals have higher energy than it, and the transmission energy will not be enough to open the space channel."

"So this thing is basically trash?"

"It depends on how you use it." I said with a smile: "For example, if you need to eliminate evidence, like just now, this thing can have a very good effect. Of course, you have to clean up all high-energy substances within the range first. Dropped, and there cannot be any lifeforms with a level higher than level 20. In addition, this kind of thing is usually more useful for finding hidden treasures. You can take some more small teleportation bombs and throw them around, Where there is no treasure hiding place, it will be teleported away. In the place where the treasure is actually hidden, the energy intensity of the treasure itself is relatively high, and the protective spells to protect the treasure will interfere with the teleportation, so the teleportation will fail. At that time, you only need to You'll know where the treasure is if the bomb doesn't activate."

"That being said, it's really useful."

"Of course, except that it can't be used for fighting, it's pretty good for other things. If you're interested, we can sell it to you. The large one just now only costs 100 crystal coins, and the small one costs 5 crystal coins. One. How about it? Is it cheap enough? I tell you, it’s definitely a bargain price.”

Although the gunman was surprised that this thing was so cheap, he still said: "Don't fool me, cabbage is not cheap these days. If you give me a preferential price, I will order more."

"The big ones will give you seventy crystal coins each if you buy more than a hundred at a time. The small ones come in boxes, with twenty coins per box. If you buy more than a hundred boxes at a time, you will get three. One crystal coin. If you can buy a thousand large ones or a thousand boxes of small ones at one time, I can give it to you at half price."

"Deal, I want a hundred boxes of the big ones, and two thousand boxes of the small ones. All at half price. Is that okay?"

"No problem. But why do you need so many of these things? Our guild has built it ourselves and we haven't used a hundred boxes in total!"

The gunman said with a smile: "If you give me another hundred boxes of small ones for free, I will tell you what I am going to do."

"Ten boxes."

"Fifty."

"make a deal."

The Gunslinger smiled proudly, and then said: "I want to use this thing to mine."

"Mining?" I was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood. "Damn it, why didn't I expect that this thing can be used like this?" It turns out that the three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang. No matter how smart a person is, there are always things he can't think of. Although there is more than one person in our guild, after all, everyone has the same ideas. It’s different. Just because we can’t think of it doesn’t mean that others can’t think of it either. This kind of bomb cannot be used in actual combat, but if it is used to peel off the top soil above the mine, the mining efficiency will be n times higher. Imagine an 'open-pit' mine and a mine buried deep underground. Can the mining efficiency be the same? "Damn it, I got it cheap!"

Hearing my regretful words, the gunman smiled very proudly. There aren't many things that can make me feel embarrassed. Once in a while, something like this will make him proud.

After leaving this secret base of the Free Gods, we returned to the headquarters of the Holy Spear Alliance. The combat effectiveness test of Ghost and Blade Queen has been basically completed, and the results are pretty good. The two of them can defeat ordinary protoss in almost a second. Unless they encounter high-level protoss, they are basically invincible. As an artificially produced constructed creature, I am quite satisfied with its combat effectiveness.

Although our testing task is completed, we can't leave now. The things we promised to the Gunslinger still need to be completed. Fortunately, the bet in the Savage Arena is tonight, and there are only more than two hours from now, so we are not in a hurry to leave, but are waiting here for the game to start. .

Because I was worried about Ghost and Blade going back on their own, I asked them to participate in the competition with me. Of course, they didn't have to play, they were just spectators.

After discussing some issues such as in-depth cooperation between the two guilds with the gun god, two hours passed quickly. Before the time for the bet was almost up, the gun god took us to the brutal arena.

This arena does not use a game-by-game model like a movie theater, but a completely non-interval game. Both competition participants and spectators can enter and exit at any time. Of course, those who participate in the game still have to line up first to enter the game, and opponents must accept the challenge before they can play, but there are not so many restrictions on the audience, and they can watch as they go.

When we arrived, there was a melee going on here. Three people had fallen in the field, and five people were killing each other, but it seemed that these five people belonged to three camps.

"Is there a multi-person melee in this game?"

The Gunslinger glanced at the arena under the stands that was filled with yellow sand and blood, and then said: "The rules of the Savage Arena are that there are no rules. As long as both parties are willing, any rules will apply. Even if you want to pick ten thousand, it's no problem. Like. The restriction on the use of real-world mode in my bet is what we both agreed on. The arena itself actually has no rules, and it will only change the rules according to the requirements of the competing parties."

"Then how did you two think of using this rule?"

"It was the Black Queen's idea." A voice suddenly interrupted. I looked up and saw a muscular man who looked like a gorilla. "Two of the Black Queen's subordinates were once black boxing champions in real life. Later, because the matches in the game were more bloody and violent, no one watched the black boxing outside, so these two people also ran into the game to mess around. Black The queen somehow managed to recruit these two guys, and specifically asked them to challenge others to bet in the real world mode, and so far they have never lost once."

The gunman waited for the guy to finish speaking before introducing me: "This is Logan, the real-life fighting coach I invited. I didn't expect you to come, so I have prepared three participating team members."

I shook hands with the guy, and then asked the gun master: "Since you have already found someone, why choose me? That is the real mode. My first place in the world's combat power list is with attributes and equipment. First of all, aren’t you afraid that I will screw up your bet?”

The Gunslinger waved his hand and said: "You can only deceive others with your level. I have fought with you, and I know your ability. If you don't know Kung Fu in reality, I will change my nationality and join your guild to be your little brother." ."

I smiled noncommittally, then turned to the muscular man and asked, "Where are the other two players? Although I'm here, you still need at least two people from your original team to make up the number of players, right?"

"I am your partner." The sudden voice stunned me, not because of the other party's ability to suddenly appear out of thin air, but because - she was a woman.
