Chapter 305: The Tragic Tianji Alliance

Although Rose knew about my combat capabilities, I came here to investigate the situation this time. It was indeed a bit unexpected to suddenly inform her that I had occupied a city and asked her to send people to receive it. Fortunately, after a brief explanation, Rose understood why I wanted to occupy this place.

In fact, there are multiple considerations for occupying this city. On the one hand, the situation in South Korea is obviously very chaotic, and our guild needs to intervene, so we need a frontline supply station. After all, it is still a bit far from home. of. The players themselves have a long gun and the walking speed is acceptable, but the problem is that NPCs cannot. Moreover, transporting war supplies back and forth is also a hassle. Because of these annoying problems, the forward base has become necessary.

Is this the second thing...actually it's for the benefit. This city is now controlled by a low-level guild, which is equivalent to a child holding a diamond as big as a duck egg. The so-called crime of possessing a treasure is that this guild did not have enough strength but bought a fortified island located at the intersection of the sea lanes of the Three Kingdoms. What is this concept? If you don't have the strength, you can hide aside and no one will cause trouble for you. But not only did you pop out, but you also nailed the battleground for military strategists. Are you saying this is not a fight? To be honest, even if I don't come to seize this island, this place will definitely not be in the hands of this guild for long in the future. After all, this place is so unforgettable that anyone who passes by here will notice it.

As for my third consideration, this is mainly due to the future expansion plan arranged by Masamoto Matsumoto.

We had previously formulated an expansion plan with Masamoto Matsumoto, which was to guide the combat power of Japanese players northward, so that they would not always focus on mainland China, but to guide their combat power to South Korea, and then let them Japanese players occupy South Korea, and then go all the way north to find trouble with the Russians. In this way, the combat effectiveness of Japanese players has an outlet, and Matsumoto Masamoto's so-called curve-saving plan to save the country has also been confirmed, which can be said to have served multiple purposes with one stone. Of course, what's more important is that from now on, Russian players will no longer be able to focus on causing trouble for us. After all, there is a Japanese that is watching eagerly next to us and needs to be wary of.

Of course, the above mentioned are long-term interests. As for the third reason for occupying this city this time, my purpose is to arrange a tangible goal for Matsumoto Masa.

Although Masamoto Matsumoto told Japanese players before that shifting the direction of the battle to South Korea was to temporarily accumulate strength for Japan's future and not to confront us head-on, in the final analysis, this is still a piece of cake drawn on paper. Some senior members of Japanese guilds did believe in the pie proposed by Masamoto Matsumoto, because they had a longer view and could see the temptation of this pie. However, relatively speaking, ordinary Japanese players could not. Completely understand the significance of this strategy. Although these players have to follow this plan because the presidents of their respective guilds agree with this plan, this is not a long-term solution after all. If all the lower-level players do not agree with this plan and rely solely on the orders of the upper-level players to forcefully reverse their behavior, then over time there will inevitably be resistance and even rebellion. Therefore, the mass base is very important in any country.

I occupied this island just to let Matsumoto Masahiro win the hearts of those Japanese players. You asked Masaru Matsumoto to talk to those low-level Japanese players about grand strategy, but they couldn't understand it at all. Besides, can such strategic-level things be taken out and promoted everywhere? Therefore, Matsumoto Masahi and the others could neither explain nor explain clearly. Then the simplest way is not to explain it, but to just come up with something that ordinary players can understand at a glance. Only in this way can the hearts of those low-level players be won over in the simplest and most effective way.

Now this island is such a thing. According to my plan, we will now start to intervene in Korean affairs, and this island will serve as our forward base. After we complete the adjustment of Korean forces, Matsumoto Masamoto can lead Japanese players to attack this island. No matter where this island is, it is our Frost Rose Alliance’s belongings after all. Matsumoto Masaru asked Japanese players to attack this island to prove to the guild presidents: "Look, we are destroying the Korean theater of the Frost Rose Alliance." Action." As for the Japanese players at the bottom, they have indeed fought against our Frost Rose Alliance, so that they can realize that they are resisting our Frost Rose Alliance, and they will think that Matsumoto Masaga is indeed leading If they move forward on the road of confronting China, they will not have any resistance, and on the contrary, it will enhance Matsumoto Masa's prestige.

Therefore, it is of great significance to capture this island. Even if I don't capture it today, I will definitely need to send people from the guild to capture it later. But now that I'm here, there's no need to go to such trouble. It saves a lot of trouble to get this island easily.

Although the occupation of a large city requires many people, the initial occupation certainly does not require many people. Rose also knew that I definitely couldn't stay here for a long time, so she sent some people to replace me. Anyway, the city has been suppressed, and the rest is just to see that no trouble occurs in the city, and it doesn't require much combat power.

After the people who came to hand over arrived, I briefly explained a few words and left the city, because while waiting for them to arrive, I had already asked about the situation of Tianji League from several players in the city who were willing to compromise.

The current Tianji League has been driven into the mountains as the president of the Wuji Association said, but the specific location is not clear. It is said that because they were relatively strong in Korea before, they offended many people. Now that the guild is in civil strife, they want to take advantage of the opportunity. Naturally, there are many people who come to take revenge. Pu Yin probably knew this situation, so he gave up even those transportation towns with better incomes and decisively moved into the deep mountains and old forests. Although the income in cities in that kind of place is meager, it is also because there is less flow of people and less income, so it is not easy to attract the attention of enemies.

The information I got from those players who were willing to compromise was the specific location of the mountainous area where the Tianji League is located, but I don't know where the specific city is in the mountain. But I think this can be inquired about slowly in some places. The other party is relocating the entire guild. With so many people and so many things, it is impossible to do it quietly. It is not difficult to find them by just asking nearby NPCs.

After flying in the sky on the flying bird, I immediately put the flying bird away and replaced it with Yeying. Although the flying bird is very fast, it is just because it is too fast that it cannot be used to find things. Things on the ground can be almost flashed by at the speed of the flying bird. Although that city should be easier to find, it is a mountain city after all. If you miss it because of the obstruction of mountains or trees, it will be troublesome. So I finally chose to give up the speed of the flying bird and use Night Shadow instead.

Although Yeying's flying speed is not as fast as that of flying birds, his speed is not slow, he just cannot fly at supersonic speed. After riding Yeying to the mountainous area, I first found a small village. From the sky, this is the only way to enter the mountain, because the roads on the mountain seem to converge here.

After landing outside the village, I rode Yeying into the village. There are not many players here. I only met one player who left the village along the way in from the outside, and there are not many players in the village. After all, the reason why Tianji League moved here is because there are few people here, so if I see a large number of players here, which proves that their enemies are coming, and now this only means that the opponents have not found them yet or are not planning to cause trouble to Tianji League.

Of course, the players who can hang out in such a small and downtrodden village cannot be outstanding characters. In fact, the players in such inaccessible small places are generally players who don't pay much attention to leveling. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that occasionally some are due to special reasons. Stay in a place like this. But under normal circumstances, most players in such places are more easy-going than players in big cities. After all, most people who like this place like the quiet environment here, and people who like the quiet environment are naturally good-tempered. .

"Has anyone seen anyone from the Tianji League around here?" Because the village is small, I didn't ask anyone alone. Instead, I stood at the crossroads in the middle of the village and shouted loudly. There are only two roads in this village, and the intersection is where they meet. Because this is the most crowded place in the village, my voice immediately attracted the attention of many people around me. Of course, this so-called many people are actually less than twenty people plus one, and only five or six of them are players, most of them are NPCs.

Following my shout, an old man who looked to be at least sixty years old suddenly asked: "Are you here to take revenge on them?"

I looked the old man up and down, and then jumped off Ye Ying's back. No matter what, it is impolite to talk to others on horseback. Forget it if it is an enemy. This person is just a passerby and he is so old. Naturally, he cannot be too impolite.

"Hello, I am a friend of President Park Yin, and I am not here to cause trouble. Do you know where they are? I know they are in the mountains near here, but I don't know the specific location!"

"Are you a friend of President Park Yin?" The old man looked me up and down with an obviously unconvincing look, and then asked, "How can you prove that you are not here to cause trouble?"

"Well...if I were here to cause trouble, do you think I would talk to you so politely? I should have already gone up and kicked you down and stepped on your chest to ask for their location, right?"

The old man thought about it but shook his head and said: "Even if you are looking for trouble, you won't be so rude to me. After all, I am also an elder!"

The etiquette of Koreans is similar to that of the Japanese. They are all inherited from ancient Chinese etiquette. However, in the later period, we lost many of the etiquette ourselves. On the contrary, the Koreans and the Japanese kept it quite intact - although the development was a little bit off. shape.

I thought about the etiquette here in Korea, it is indeed very rude to attack the elderly, so what the old man said is indeed correct, but it is difficult for him to prove me. How can this friend prove it? Husbands and wives can also issue a marriage certificate, but friends have never heard of such a thing as a friend certificate?

"Then what...you ask me to prove it and I can't prove it. This friend is a friend. How can I prove it?"

The old man seemed to realize that it was really difficult to prove, but he thought for a moment and said: "It's okay if you can't prove it. If you are really a friend of the president, just wait here for a while. I have a way to know if you are." Friend of the President.”

"How long do I have to wait?"

"Just a few minutes."

"That's no problem. Just prove it quickly."

The old man did not act immediately, but first asked: "What is your name? What is your identity?"

"My name is Zi Yue, and I am the president of the Frost Rose Alliance." I pointed to the three-dimensional logo of the frost rose on my left chest and said, "You should know this logo. Only the president's logo is three-dimensional, okay. The management members are in relief, and the ordinary members are in flat form.”

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard my name, then looked at me twice more, and finally asked: "Can you take off your helmet so I can see your face?"

When I heard this, I suddenly reacted. When I was flying in the sky before, the air flow was too cold at high altitude, so I put the mask down. However, because the dragon soul suit is too comfortable and the mask also has a visual aid system, I forgot to put the mask down while drinking. Now when I heard the other person ask, I remembered that my head was really full. Wrapped. I quickly opened the mask, then took it off while holding the helmet, and shook the long hair from the back of my head. I looked at the old man again and said, "Sorry, I forgot before!"

The old man looked at me dumbfounded for two seconds before suddenly reacting and said: "No need to prove it, I recognize you. You are the Ziyue. It is exactly what my son said, more beautiful than my daughter-in-law!"

When I heard the old man's words, I couldn't help but feel a black line on my forehead. What do you mean by being more beautiful than your wife? Is there such a comparison?

The old man couldn't hear my voice, so he continued: "I didn't expect you to come. But I know you, and your guild is indeed an ally of the Tianji League. I can take you into the mountain."

When it came to business, I stopped worrying about the old man’s words and said directly: “That’s great, let’s go into the mountain quickly. I’ve been looking here for a long time!”

The old man nodded and said, "It's possible, but I'm afraid it's not possible now."

I looked at the old man in surprise and asked, "Why?"

The old man pointed to the sky and said: "It is completely dark today. Monsters in the mountains will be more active now. We will be attacked if we enter the mountains now!"

"Is there a boss above level 5,000 or 6,000 in this mountain?"

"Level 5,000 or 6,000?" the old man exclaimed exaggeratedly: "If there are such powerful monsters here, how can we dare to build a village here? The most powerful one here is a monster at level 2,000, which is very powerful."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Isn't a two thousand level monster worth being afraid of?"

"Is it necessary to be afraid?"

The two of us stared at each other in a stalemate for a while. Then I suddenly raised my hand, and a red light flew out. There was a loud bang on the mountain road outside the village, followed closely by a creaking sound. More than a dozen giant trees fell neatly in one direction, leaving an open passage.

"This should be fine, right?"

Seeing the newly opened passage outside the village, the old man finally agreed to take me into the mountain. He was just worried about monsters before, but after seeing my casual attack just now, he understood that I am actually much more powerful than monsters, so there is no need to be afraid of monsters.

As we chatted along the way, I realized that this old man was actually not a member of the Tianji League, at least according to the system, he was not a member of the Tianji League. Of course, in terms of human nature, he was actually a member of the Tianji League, but he had not joined the membership. .

The old man actually has a son in the Tianji League, and that boy is also a formal member of the Tianji League. Moreover, after the rebellion in the Tianji League, his son still followed Pu Yin and the others here. After that, the Tianji League found an abandoned city in the mountains and renovated it, and then regained their own guild city, which is currently the only guild city of the Tianji League. However, perhaps due to the previous rebellion, Park Yin and her men felt that even hiding in the mountains was not completely safe, so they thought about it and decided to set up a similar structure at the intersection into the mountains. Existing like a sentry.

Although the sentries are easy to arrange, it is actually difficult to avoid being discovered, so after some thinking, I came up with this method. The old man's son brought his father here to stay permanently, and then acted as a secret sentry. Because the old man is not a combat player, and he does not belong to a guild, it is very normal to live in such a small village. In fact, because the game "Zero" has a sleep assist system, many elderly people will use the game system to assist with sleep. After all, this thing does not have side effects like sleeping pills. This assist system will not harm the human body. In order to sleep in the game, these old people naturally need to have an account. After having an account, they cannot go to bed every time they go online. They will always look around. And because in the game, although the bodies of these old people are still old people, they are game characters after all, and their physical strength is much better than in reality. In addition, the environment in the game is also better than in reality, so many old people often stay in the game. Stationed. They did not fight, but they often traveled and sometimes settled in certain villages and the like for a period of time. There are many old people like this in the game, so it is normal to meet one in this village, and no one will suspect them at all. And if someone passes by here and shows hostility towards the Tianji League, the old man will immediately log off and tell his son directly in reality, and then his son can tell the people of the Tianji League to prepare. This method is impeccable. After all, the old man is a non-combat player. As long as he does not leave the village, others cannot affect his decision to go offline. After all, there is no combat status determination for non-combat players, unlike normal players' combat status. When you go offline, you only lose your consciousness. The body of the game character is still in the game, and you can still be killed and robbed of equipment. Therefore, ordinary players do not dare to go offline during combat, but non-combat players do not worry about this. They will be killed anyway. You won't lose much.

Of course, this does not mean that non-combat players can use their special identities to interfere with the normal battles of combat players. The system still has restrictions on this. If you deliberately rely on the fact that you are not a combat player to act as a spy to gather intelligence or something. Yes, the other party will still have ways to deal with you. However, the problem of being a secret sentry is indeed unsolvable, and the concealment is extremely high. As long as the non-combatant player does not show his/her feet, it is generally impossible to be discovered.

As the old man and I chatted, we quickly entered the depths of the mountain. It was evening now, and the forest was even darker. There is still some moonlight outside, but it is really hard to see in this forest. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to move here without the help of lighting tools.

The old man knew it was dark in the forest, so he had prepared a torch, but at my suggestion he put it out and replaced it with my magic pet ghost lamp.

The ghost lantern is the kind of green and red lantern we encountered in the Demon King before. It is a kind of monster. It has no fighting ability, but its auxiliary ability is quite incredible. However, now the ghost lamp is not supporting me to fight, but summoning him out is just used as a street lamp.

Compared with torches, the light of green and red lights is slightly dimmer and will not illuminate your side very brightly, but this light will not produce any shadows. In fact, as long as the green and red lights appear, all nearby places within the range of your vision will be in the same brightness state. Ice will not light up nearby like the light of a torch, and places farther away will still be dark. The light of the green and red light can even cover a radius of several kilometers in an open area, and all areas within the range have the same brightness, with no change in light and darkness at all. The advantage of this special surname is that it allows you to clearly see the enemy's position without exposing yourself. After all, holding a torch is basically a target. Others can see the light on your torch from a distance. With the torch on, you can't see enemies outside the light range of the torch.

However, although the green and red light is much better than the torch in terms of lighting range and visibility, it has a minor disadvantage, that is, it is more intrusive.

This can be seen from the name I gave this demon pet. The name ghost lantern makes people think of the dark clouds covering the moon, the lonely grave beside the tree-lined path and the little shining will-o'-the-wisp. In fact, the green red lantern is a monster formed by the combination of will-o'-the-wisp and yin energy, so it is not wrong to say that it is a will-o'-the-wisp. However, because the green light itself is a will-o'-the-wisp, its light is blue with green, and it is eerie, especially in the forest at night, let alone seeing ghosts, even for normal people , when illuminated by this light, as long as you have no expression on your face and keep a straight face, others will think you are a ghost at first glance.

It is precisely because this light is so penetrating that most people would not dare to use it as a lantern even if they have a ghost lantern. I am the only exception. Of course, given the rarity of Qinghong Lantern, it is unlikely that ordinary people would have such a magic pet.

The old man loves and fears my magic pet. Although he doesn't feel much fear because he knows it is my magic pet, the old man actually still feels a little scared. However, while he was slightly scared, the old man still liked the effect of this light. In fact, except for the gloomy color and low brightness, this light effect is almost the same as during the day. This kind of stable and wide-area light is definitely ten thousand times more useful than a torch. If he hadn't known that this thing was difficult to get, the old man almost planned to get one himself.

In fact, what the old man didn't know was that the ghost lantern actually didn't emit light. That's right, the cyan-red light is actually black, it doesn't emit any light at all. The reason why he now feels that there is a large area of ​​light around him is because I let Qinghong Lan open his soul perception to him. The light of the green and red light is actually a built-in ability called soul perception. This green light is actually the light of the soul, and what we see is its energy essence, not the reflection of the entity. This is why when you look at things under the light of green and red lights, you will feel that many things are a bit white. It is because those things are "luminous" by themselves, so the brightness is actually brighter than the empty place around them. Of course, the main reason why the old man has not discovered this secret so far is that there are no advanced creatures nearby, otherwise he would definitely find a huge light group appearing in his sight.

Under the irradiation of flexible fire, the more powerful the object is, the higher its energy level will be, the higher its brightness will be. This is somewhat similar to an infrared night vision device, except that the characteristic of an infrared night vision device is that the higher the temperature, the brighter things appear, while with this soul fire, the higher the energy level, the brighter things appear. As for why I didn't blind the old man's eyes, it was entirely because I let the green and red lights shield me from the outside. Otherwise, when the old man turned around, he would find that I was like a human-shaped sun in his sight.

After walking like this for a while, the old man suddenly asked me to wait, and then walked to a big tree next to him and knocked a few times. Then I seemed to hear two knocking sounds coming from the big tree, and then The old man knocked a few more rhythmically, as if he was sending a telegram.

After the old man finished knocking, he took me to a big tree on the side, and then walked around to the back of the trunk. There is a tree hole in this tree facing away from the road. Because the trees here are all very tall, the hole in the trunk does not look very out of place. However, when the old man took the lead and climbed in, I realized that this was actually a secret entrance.

The new city of Tianji League is indeed in the mountains, but it is not in the mountains as everyone usually understands. It is exactly as described in the text, inside the mountains, inside the mountains. To put it simply, this is an underground city. Its main part is completely inside the mountain, just like an air raid shelter. Not to mention such a city in the sky, even if you pull up a wall of people on the ground to search, you may not be able to find it. After all, no one would have thought that there is a tunnel entrance in an ordinary tree hole!

"Holy shit, are you trying to fight in the tunnel?" I said to the old man below while climbing down the tree hole.

Surprisingly, the person who answered me was not the old man, but a younger voice. "There's nothing we can do about it! Our Tianji League has offended too many people now. If we didn't hide it, we would have been pushed no matter how many times!"

I was thinking about who was speaking below, and suddenly I felt that I had reached the ground, but my upper body was still in the vertical hole. At this time, the person below asked me to turn around again, so I had no choice but to turn around, and then squatted down a little before I discovered that there was a lateral passage here, but the height was only about one meter, so I had to squat down to crawl in it. Fortunately, this horizontal passage is not long. It takes a few steps to climb to the exit. After getting out, it will be a regular tunnel structure. The height here is about two meters, so it doesn't feel too oppressive, at least with my height it doesn't have any impact.

After I stood up again, I looked at the person who spoke. This is a very ordinary-looking male player. He is the type that you will quickly forget after taking one look at him. He has no special signs and can basically be said to be a popular face. The other person was stunned for a moment when he noticed that I was looking at him, and then nodded as if he suddenly understood. I was surprised by his reaction, but I understood it when I saw him supporting the old man.

They say habits come naturally, and I can't avoid this special surname. There is actually no light at all in this underground passage. I put away the ghost lanterns according to the old man's request before coming down. But even if there is light after entering the tree hole, it is useless because the passage is very narrow and you can't look down. , I can only rely on the feeling of my body to find a place to borrow strength to climb down little by little. But because I have perfect dark vision, I habitually forgot that there should be nothing visible here. The old man had been holding on to the wall since he came down. Just now, because I had come down and the other party was going to take the old man with him, he held him up. However, he obviously also has dark vision, otherwise he would not have noticed that I was staring. He sees. He was surprised at first and then calmed down just now. He probably figured out that it is normal for people like me to have night vision.

The other person didn't say anything more, and just waved his hand and motioned for me to follow. Less than five meters forward from this place is a very thick door curtain. The outer layer of the door curtain seemed to be made of thatch, and I didn't know what was stuffed inside. It felt quite soft and quite heavy. After passing through this curtain, there was the second curtain two meters ahead. After passing through three curtains in total, we finally entered a more open passage, and this passage was different from the dark passages in front. , there is light here, but the brightness here is really very low, and it can barely allow you to see if there are any obstacles in front of you.

I guess the functions of those door curtains and these passages are sound insulation and light blocking, because although the tree hole itself is very hidden, if there is sound and light coming from the hole, then the fool will know that there is something wrong inside. So the other party set up several door curtains here to block the light and make it appear dark below. On the other hand, it also blocked the sound over there to prevent people with better ears from judging that there is an entrance here.

This dimly lit passage is not long, but it twists and turns like a nine-bend bridge in the south. Every time it passes a bend, the brightness increases by one point. When it reaches the last bend The brightness of the mouth is almost the same as that of normal light.

It was only at this place that the young man spoke for the first time. He first extended his hand to shake hands and said at the same time: "President Ziyue, it's so exciting that you are here. The president will definitely be very happy to see you."

I shook hands with him and said: "I went to the island occupied by the Wuji Society before and I didn't know that such a big thing happened to you. I remember that I left a communicator for you, and there were more than one. Why don't you use that one? Where is the communicator to contact us?"

The young man shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. I'm not a high-level player in the guild. I just know that there was a rebellion in our guild, and then we were forced to run here. After that, we seemed to be unable to contact us. I want to contact you, but I don’t know why I can’t contact you.”

When I think about it, this guy is obviously a janitor. Although the job of a guard is very important, the status of a guard is actually not high no matter where he is. Therefore, this guy is definitely not the leader of the Tianji League. It is normal that he does not know important information.

Since he couldn't ask anything, I asked him to take me to see Park Yin. The other party immediately nodded in agreement, then asked the old man to find his son by himself, and then took me forward.

From the passage we are in, there is a quite wide underground passage. You can basically see a lot of people running around here. It seems quite busy. Turn into another passage from here and go in. Not far away is a human lift. After sitting on this lift and descending vertically for a long time, we reached a new passage. There are many people queuing up at the entrance here to wait for the lift. It is obviously quite busy here. My arrival attracted the attention of those waiting in line. After all, my equipment was too exaggerated. Compared with the gray-faced people around me, I looked like I was standing in an African refugee camp wearing an evening gown. That was called a Out of place. Fortunately, I was used to being watched, so I didn't care and continued to move forward with the player.

This place is actually a place similar to an elevator room. Less than a hundred meters forward from here, we exited the passage, and then I found that we had entered a very huge underground space. This place is obviously an underground world. Although the huge space is not boundless, it is already very spectacular. And at the bottom of this huge underground space is a city that looks a bit gray. Of course, although the city looks very old, it is full of vitality. A large number of people are running back and forth, making it look like a busy scene. Obviously, Tianji League has not moved here for a long time. Everyone is busy with the restoration work of the city. I guess the construction work in this place may not be completed yet, because I found that many places have the original wooden Cranes and various personnel are busy. It seems that Park Yin and the others first restored the main facilities of the city and put them into operation, and then began to restore other parts one by one.

I can understand this kind of repair method. After all, they ran into an internal rebellion, and they came here after the wall fell and everyone pushed them, and they had no choice but to run here. Of course, they couldn't move in as slowly as they did when building a new city. The situation at that time was that if they didn't find a city to settle in, they would face the penalty of downgrading from the guild, so they had to do this.

Whether the guilds in "Zero" have their own guild city is a very important watershed. If you don't have your own city, no matter how powerful your guild is, it will be useless. You won't have many things, the system will impose many restrictions on you, and you won't be able to get many guild benefits. Such guilds without their own city are generally called free guilds, but in fact they are free, but they have no fixed residence. Generally, powerful guilds will strive to build a city of their own, or at least find a system city to become its guardian guild.

When the guy who led me saw me looking at the city at the bottom of the pit in a daze, he knew that I must be surprised at the dilapidation of the city, so he said: "Don't think this place is dilapidated. How can there be such a city like this?" Being discovered all the time, we already feel like we are lucky. If we hadn't suddenly discovered such a city in the end, our guild would have almost become a free guild!"

I nodded and said: "I can understand your situation at that time, but in order to help you, I need to understand the specific situation. Okay, take me to see Park Yin quickly. I need to ask a lot of things."

Under the guidance of this player, I was quickly taken to the bottom of this underground world, where the city is located. After entering the city, I was observing the situation nearby. Through observation, I found that this place was indeed in a semi-completed state just like what I just saw above. Many houses are under urgent construction, and even some functional buildings in the city have not been completed. Moreover, even the houses that have been put into use only have a rough frame and no decoration at all. Among them is an vocational hall we passed by, with an outer wall. There are actually many holes in the door. The door only has a frame and no door panels. However, there are still many players and NPCs coming in and out. It is obviously already in operation. With such a hasty construction, you can imagine how urgent the situation was at that time.

In fact, although the buildings in the city are dilapidated, many of them are actually high-level functional buildings. From this point of view, although Park Yin and the subordinates who followed her were forced to escape during the rebellion, their preparations were actually very poor. Not bad.

The identification of the guild city in "Zero" is achieved through the architectural core. Unlike buildings in reality, the buildings in "Zero" have a embodied physical object as their core existence, which is actually the building. If a player wants to destroy a building, what they need to do is not destroy the building itself, but destroy its core. Of course, this refers to functional buildings, that is, those buildings with additional attributes recognized by the system. Ordinary houses have no core existence.

Just like the World Library in our guild, the buildings in the city also have levels. This level is built up bit by bit through various war values, development levels and money in the guild, and the attributes of high-end buildings are often quite awesome. For example, the World Library in our guild, the attributes are simply Same as bug. Can you imagine a mage player learning a full set of mage skills? In other guilds, it is simply impossible, but in our guild, because of the existence of the World Library, you can complete the study as long as you have enough money and guild contribution, because the World Library has such attributes. , which can transcend general system limitations and allow you to do things that others cannot.

Just because high-end buildings play a huge role, the protection of high-end buildings is also very important. Park Yin's people apparently snatched out most of the building cores in the guild's main city before evacuating, and then brought them here. As long as these building cores are not destroyed, they can be taken out and placed in buildings in other cities. If the re-introduced building is a blank building, it will become a functional building corresponding to the core after being placed in the core. If it is a functional building itself, then as long as the functions are the same, the core will be integrated, and then the building core will be automatically upgraded. If the function is different, it cannot be put in. This is a bit like a martial arts master passing down kung fu to others. The core is a master's internal strength. If you pass it on to someone, that person will become a master. But if the internal strength is not matched, it cannot be absorbed. People with the same internal strength or no internal strength will be able to absorb it. Can be absorbed.

However, there is a limitation in this. That is, although the core can be taken out of the building, first of all, the building with the core taken out will immediately lose its function and become an ordinary building, no longer having any attributes. Secondly, the core cannot exist in the core state for too long.

Generally speaking, the core of a building can only exist for a maximum of twenty-four hours after it is taken out. Once the time limit is exceeded, the core will begin to degrade continuously. If the core is still not placed in any building after it is downgraded to a first-level building, the core will automatically disappear, which is equivalent to the building being destroyed.

The reason why the dilapidated buildings of the Tianji League started operating without decoration, and some even had holes in the walls or no doors, was because the core of their buildings could not wait any longer. If they repair the building slowly, the core will eventually be degraded or disappear. This loss is too huge, so the Tianji League can only roughly build a building shell and quickly put the core in. Anyway, no matter how simple the building is, it doesn't affect the attributes. As long as the necessary magic materials are complete, the magic circle is completely drawn, and there are four walls and a roof, even if there are no doors, even if there is air leakage from all sides, it won't be a problem. Just like people will only consider the question of whether their life is good or not after they can ensure their own survival. Tianji League can only ensure that these buildings exist first. As for whether they look good or not... that is a question for the future.

"President Ziyue, this is where our president works." I was thinking about the dilapidated buildings here, when the player suddenly stopped in front of a building and said to me.

I turned to look at the building he was pointing at and almost laughed. Where is the guild headquarters building? I don’t know but I thought this was a house built by cavemen. The entire building is just a frame made of several large stone slabs. Not to mention the doors and windows, it is basically a tent made of stones! Isn't this too miserable? (To be continued.)q
