Chapter 514: Preparing for Acting

It turns out that the luck attribute hidden in the player attributes panel really works, because since I started taking over the bloodletting mission, the success rate has begun to increase significantly. The first Iron Heart I got successfully summoned a female demon, and then the second and third ones actually succeeded six times in a row.

After the first success appeared, Zhen Hong still said that I was lucky. After three successes in a row, her expression began to become very strange. When I turned the sixth Iron Heart into After removing the soft heart, the others were left with dull expressions.

"I don't believe you can successfully open seven in a row." Zhenhong looked at me and picked up the seventh Heart of Iron and Stone and said.

I knew that she was either really angry or just joking, so I deliberately said arrogantly: "That's not possible. Maybe I accidentally succeeded ten times in a row?"

"If you can successfully summon ten of them in a row, I will write my name upside down and change my name to Hong Zhen."

"You think, the system won't let you change it!" Jin Coin joked beside him, and then said: "Why don't we make a bet? Let's bet on how many demons the president can draw without any problems. of."

"What's the bet for?" Hong Yan asked, "I don't have any crystal coins!"

Hongyan is the guardian beast of the guild, and his salary is the guild's magical energy, which helps him rebuild his body and perform the final rebirth and transformation ceremony, so he does not have such a thing as crystal coins. After all, it is useless for NPCs to hold crystal coins in their hands.

When Radamance heard this, he immediately said: "It is better to use the power of faith, it is more precious."

"It's really precious in other guilds. But here..." Although Christina didn't finish her sentence, her meaning was very clear.

"External possessions are meaningless. We have all types of people here. Some things are important to you, but they may not be meaningful to others. Besides, we are not asking for things in this bet, we are just having fun." I said Then he said directly: "How about this. The losers collectively help the winner to get a free mission. Of course, except for guild missions, I mean private missions."

"This is good." Radamance said excitedly: "That's it?"

Everyone finally nodded and acknowledged the plan. Then he began to tell the number he guessed. Although according to common sense. It is very unlikely to open six effective Hearts of Iron and Stone in a row. However, in terms of probability, the success rate of opening the next Heart of Iron and Stone is always a stable number. There is no saying that the number of consecutive successes will lead to an increase in the failure rate of the next one. This is actually an unscientific and subjective conjecture. but. Logically speaking. This kind of thing is indeed worthy of a gamble.

"Now six of them are effective. I think I can open more than ten in a row. What about you?" I looked at Zhenhong and the others with a smile and asked.

Zhenhong immediately protested: "No, no, it can't be estimated. It must be an accurate number. It is not allowed to say how much is more or less."

I thought this was a reasonable request, and then I said directly: "Then twelve." It wasn't a big bet anyway, so I just quoted an impossible number. It didn't matter whether I won or lost, as long as I was happy.

After hearing this, Zhenhong also felt that my number was quite unreliable, so she said: "I bet you will fail the next time. You can only open six in a row."

Radamance followed: "I bet eight."

Jin Coin said: "I bet seven."

Hong Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll bet ten."

Christina said: "I bet nine."

In the end, there was only one mountain left, fifty-five, and he said, "I'll bet eleven."

After everyone finalized their numbers, it was my turn to start unblocking the Heart of Iron and Stone. First of all, the conversion speed of the seventh Heart of Iron and Stone was very fast, and it was successful in an instant. Moreover, the female devil was near us, and it took two minutes. Just ran over. In other words, True Red has failed.

"Haha, I just said you are unlucky!" I deliberately took advantage of Zhenhong for fun, and Zhenhong glared at me angrily.

The subsequent unblocking process of Heart of Stone almost shocked the people around them. Although everyone reported high numbers when placing bets, they were still very surprised to see so many consecutive ones without failure. After all, everyone was just joking when they placed bets before, and no one really thought I could make so many bets. After all, less than one-eighth of the Iron Hearts here actually have corresponding female demons. It is really incredible that I can hit seven or eight of them by pure luck under this probability.

In fact, this situation lasted longer than we imagined. When I held the eleventh Heart of Iron in my hand, there was only the sound of swallowing.

"Boss, this is the eleventh one. Are you really going to go against the will of heaven?" Zhenhong looked at me and asked.

I'm actually very surprised now. I know I'm lucky, but isn't this too good? But... isn't Victoria our magic pet? She is the goddess of victory, a deity who specializes in controlling destiny. The hidden attribute is to increase the luck value, and it seems to add a lot. Now it seems that I obviously underestimated the specific size of the so-called "a lot", and that "a lot" may be really a lot.

Just after everyone watched with dry mouths as I dripped blood on the eleventh iron stone heart, the heart immediately began to soften, and then quickly turned into a real heart and beat powerfully. got up. At this time, everyone around him sat on the ground in surprise. Having acquired so many female demons, we have a pretty good idea of ​​the characteristics of this heart. If the unsealed heart of iron and stone does not have a corresponding body, it will twitch suddenly after being unsealed, and then begin to decay at a very fast speed. And if the heart begins to beat rhythmically and continuously after being unsealed, That means that the Heart of Iron and Stone has been successfully unsealed.

"Damn it, it's the eleventh one. Boss, you are so unbelievable! I only succeeded in one when I opened the eleventh Heart of Iron and Stone, okay? You don't bring one like this!" Zhenhong sat on the ground. She started pretending to be a little girl and acted coquettishly, which made everyone laugh. The main reason is that the contrast between her usual image and this image is too big.

In fact, speaking of excitement, the most excited person here is Shan Fifty-five, because the number he guessed was eleven. In other words, as long as I fail to unlock the next Heart of Iron, he will be the winner.

This bet is a joke to us. Even if there is no such bet, given the relationship between us, if we ask each other for help, will others not participate? It's obviously impossible. So, everyone is just having fun. but. There is a personal exception here. That is Shan Fifty Five. Although he is a spy assigned to Song Zhenghe, he is just a high-level player with a special mission and cannot be considered a first-line player. Even the game account he used was divided into two. This Shan55 is just the number he used as a spy. She is his trumpet. It was later that I went to help Matsu Masagi establish a circle of influence in Japan and then forcibly created a small account with the funding of our guild.

In fact, many of the subordinates we assigned to Song Zhenghe came from this way. In fact, they all have their own main accounts in China. After accepting the spy mission, I deleted my original alt account and re-established a Japanese character account in Japan. Then I quickly leveled up in Japan through the resources of our guild, and all these accounts were changed from novice status in a short period of time. Raised to a very advanced level.

Because these players are advanced players in China. He has a lot of combat skills and experience, and his on-the-spot reactions are also very good, so as long as the character level goes up, and he gets some good equipment and equips himself, he will be a master again. Therefore, it is not particularly troublesome to train these people. It just requires a lot of funds and manpower. Of course, our guild has these, so it is not troublesome, but for ordinary players, these are not only troubles, but even a chasm, an insurmountable gap.

Although they were assigned special tasks, these players are essentially just senior players in our guild. They are not considered leaders, but they are still a little higher than ordinary players. For players like them, the help we offered here is no small matter.

You can imagine, if in the world of martial arts novels, an ordinary disciple of a martial arts sect suddenly received a promise of unlimited help from the four top masters of the martial arts, what kind of benefits would that be? So, although we don't take each other seriously, to Shan Wuwu, this promise is no ordinary promise.

Although Shan Wuwu is very excited, after all, it is not certain that he is the winner yet. If I win, his benefit will be completely hopeless.

After everyone sighed at the eleventh Iron Stone Heart, I began to unseal the twelfth Iron Stone Heart. When the blood dripped on this Iron Stone Heart, the Iron Stone Heart immediately reacted. It quickly melted and unsealed, and soon turned into a completely normal heart, which then beat once in my hand. Starting now is key. A heart that only beats once does not have a corresponding physical heart, and if it beats a second time, it means that the heart can continue to beat.

Although everyone was very concerned about this result, the heart would not let it go. In the next second, the heart beat again, and then began to beat very rhythmically. Obviously, the twelfth heart has a corresponding target, which means I am the winner.

Facing this beating heart, Shan Wuwu sat down on the ground next to him, feeling as if he had just come off a roller coaster. He thought he could get the commitment of so many of our masters, but he didn't expect it in the end. It actually produced such a result. The hit rate was less than one-eighth, but I actually hit it twelve times in a row. This probability... Anyway, Shan Wuwu didn't know what to say.

Just when everyone was sighing that I could actually open twelve Iron Hearts in a row, Zhen Hong suddenly woke up and said: "Don't worry, it's not over yet."

"What?" I looked at Zhenhong in surprise and asked.

Zhenhong said directly: "We are talking about the successful unblocking, not simply making the heart beat. The beating of the heart does mean that it has been unblocked, but it is not completely successful at this time. Only the corresponding demon is there. Only when we get here and complete the integration within the stipulated time can we truly complete the unblocking process."

When I heard this, I thought it made sense, so I waved my hand. The darts shot out immediately. I just looked at the entrance of the cave, and the demon without a heart appeared, which means that the female demon corresponding to the heart of stone is definitely not on this side of the cave.

The search speed of the dart was very fast. It only took a few seconds to complete the search and successfully find the female demon. However, the final structure was very surprising.

"What did you say?" After the dart found the target, he did not come back directly. Instead, he used telepathic contact to contact me on the spot.

At first I was surprised why the darts didn't come back, but when I saw the screen of the darts being shared, I completely understood.

On the ground not far in front of the dart, a female demon was trying to sprint in our direction. Her expression was obviously very anxious. but. Right next to her was a large group of gray-black insects. This insect looks like a small stone with six legs. If they stop there, they will definitely be ignored as a piece of stone. Who would have thought that the stones on the roadside are bugs?

It's not a big deal to discover a strange bug, but the point is that these bugs are now surrounding our very important target. This is not a good thing. The female demon was obviously very anxious to come over and retrieve the heart to complete the fusion, but she was extremely afraid of the bugs on the ground. I didn't dare to rush forward at all. Such a delay is simply not enough. In addition, she was out of reach, so if this continued, the only result would be that the female devil and the heart here would become ashes together.

"This is really troublesome!" I said helplessly as I looked at the situation over there.

"What happened to you over there?"

"I don't know why a bunch of bugs popped up. The female devil was blocked there and couldn't get through."

"Those demons are afraid of bugs?" Christina asked in surprise.

At this time, a female demon standing next to us suddenly asked: "Are you talking about a bug that looks like a stone?"

Since no one else had seen the bug, I was the only one who answered: "It is indeed a bug that looks like a stone. Do you know what it is?"

"I know I know, but if it's that kind of thing, there's probably nothing I can do about it." The female demon said, "We don't know what this kind of bug is called. Although we still have memories of the period when we were cursed, we were so confused at that time. Yes, we don’t even know the names of these things. What we know is that this kind of bug seems to be immortal. Even if it is flattened, it can recover slowly. Moreover, their defense is very high and they are almost not afraid of any physical attacks. As for whether the magic is effective, we don’t know. Anyway, we will not use magic during the period of being cursed, and there are no other creatures in this place who will use magic."

"Immortal?" Radamance next to him asked in surprise after hearing such an answer: "Is this kind of immortality really completely immortal?"

"This is not very clear. In our situation, we were all confused and without any thinking ability, so it was impossible to study the ability of this bug. We just relied on our ability to judge that we cannot kill this kind of creature. , and even if you kill him, it will be useless. However, now that I think about it, it is not absolutely impossible to kill him."

"Oh? How did you know?" Christina asked.

The female demon explained: "Actually, this kind of bug is the food of those big earthworms. Those big earthworms will swallow these bugs together with a large amount of rocks when hunting. We don't know how to digest them afterwards. But It seems like big earthworms can digest these bugs.”

Zhenhong gloated at the side and said: "Haha, no matter whether we can solve these bugs or not, your bet, President, is completely ruined. Even if we have a way to solve those bugs, there is no way to complete it within the time."

What Zhenhong said is actually very correct, because we don't have enough time, so even if there is a way to deal with those bugs now, we still don't have time to get to the scene within the stipulated time. I had no choice but to admit that this gamble failed, but on the other side, Shan Wuwu once again rode a roller coaster and flew up into the clouds. I thought I had no chance this time, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events. . To get a commitment from so many people here at once, for Shan Wuwu, this is like buying a random lottery ticket on the road and winning five million. It was such an unexpected surprise.

I don’t care much about Shan Wuwu’s excitement. Although our promise is a big deal to him, it’s nothing to us. It’s nothing more than an agreement to help him complete a mission. , the tasks that Shan Wuwu can receive with his strength will be too difficult for me, just like the test papers accessible to elementary school students are definitely not too difficult for high school students. With Shan Wuwu’s strength, I think He is too low-key to me, so the tasks he can handle will not be so complicated that even I would have to spend a lot of time.

After the bet failed this time, I stopped thinking about the problem of those bugs. Anyway, this is just an isolated phenomenon, and I won't necessarily encounter it every time. And even if we deal with the wave of bugs in the past, it will be useless. Because there may not be demons appearing at the location of that wave of bugs next time, and we don’t know whether the Heart of Stone can be unsealed next time.

In fact, my good luck came to an end here, and then I failed three Hearts of Stone in a row, which made True Red smile from ear to ear. As a result, the fourth one was successful again. Things will become more normal after that. Basically, there are several failures and one success. Although there are still successes and failures, the proportion is obviously much higher than that of True Red. At least I can guarantee that one or two of the five to six Hearts of Iron and Stone will definitely come out. And sometimes there will even be three or five in a row, but the situation of eleven in a row like before has never happened again.

After the unblocking work was insufficient on my side, I switched to True Red to continue, but her blood volume was not fully restored, so in the end my demon pets had to come out to supplement it, otherwise there would be so many It's really hard to deal with your heart.

It took us almost four hours to complete the transformation of the Iron Heart Foundation here. In the end, there were still about two hundred unsealed, because we also wanted to create some of those blasphemous stones in the future, and this Heart of Stone is the necessary material. We still don’t know the exchange ratio between the Heart of Iron and the Stone of Profanity, that is, how many Hearts of Iron it takes to complete a Stone of Profanity. It would be better if the ratio was one to one or higher, but if one Stone of Blasphemy required several or more Hearts of Iron, that would be troublesome. Although this kind of blasphemy stone is used to deal with the gods, so there are not many opportunities to use it, but you still need to prepare one or two hundred of them, right? After all, we can't guarantee that every time we meet the gods, we will have the opportunity to get it from the guild. The only way to get it is for everyone to bring some with themselves, so that it can be used whenever we encounter it. However, if you carry it with you, even if you only prepare some for those who have the ability to fight the gods, the demand is still a lot. So I say one or two hundred Blasphemy Stones is the limit. We have to ensure that we can produce at least this much to barely have enough.

"Shan Wuwu, it depends on your performance when you go back this time." After completing the task of Heart of Iron and Stone here, I transferred some Heart of Iron and Stone to Shan Wuwu, and then of course the rest is mine Carry it with you.

Shan Wuwu also knew that his mission was of great importance, so he nodded seriously. Afterwards, under his guidance, we returned to the ground, but the route after that was different.

When we came here before, we came directly by teleportation, but Shan Wuwu came here with the group of Koreans. They took a secret space passage. This is not a simple transmission port, but a naturally formed permanent passage port, so it is more convenient to go back from here. However, according to Shan Wuwu, there is a Korean guild stationed at the entrance of this passage, which means that it is impossible for us to go there with him.

"Who said we can't go there together?" Christina directly retorted after standing up to Shan Wuwu's words: "It's not a big deal if we just go there together, right?"

"But won't my identity be exposed in this way?" Shan Wuwu asked.

Christina smiled and said: "Who said we have to go there as companions? Can't you just turn your head around?"

"Turn?" Shan Wuwu obviously fell into a misunderstanding, and he didn't even expect such an obvious sign.

Radamance couldn't stand it anymore, so he woke up and said, "Can't we be enemies instead of companions? You know how to act, right?"

After Radamance said this, Shan Wuwu finally reacted. "Ah, I understand. What do you mean, let me pretend to be hunted by you and let us go over there together?"

"You finally figured it out." I said.

"This method is okay, but we need to plan carefully. The situation on the opposite side is quite special. In addition to the Korean guild stationed at that passage, there are also some Japanese players there." Shan Wuwu said.

"Japanese player?" I asked curiously: "Is he a member of Matsu Masagi?"

"No." Shan Gowu explained: "Although Matsumasa's status in Japan has been restored, his external image is too tall. Many Japanese players feel that this time there are still more problems with Koreans. The cooperation between the Russians is a bit embarrassing, because the dominant force in this cooperation is Russia, and the Koreans occupy the second position due to their large manpower. Not only are the Japanese sides in a situation of being led, but what is even worse is that they do not have enough manpower. , so even the status of the Koreans is not comparable to that of the Koreans. In this way, if Song Zhenghe joins, it will definitely be inconsistent with the image he has established, so Song Zhenghe will send people like us to infiltrate the enemy in a private capacity and wait for opportunities to steal intelligence .”

"You are not the only one involved this time?" I looked at Shan Wuwu in surprise and asked, "How many spies did Matsumasa send to sneak in?"

Shan Wuwu shook his head and said: "I don't know either. Although the possibility of us leaking secrets is not high, we are spies after all, and we still have to follow some rules. The most important one is not to talk to each other. Series connection, all single-line connections. Even if one of us has a problem, it will only affect his superiors and subordinates at most, and will not be related to other lines. In this way, each line is independent and does not affect each other."

What Shan Wuwu said is basic common sense for spies, but many people in the game regard the game as a kind of entertainment, so many things are done carelessly and not seriously. Of course, Matsumasa He is obviously not one of them. After all, he turned to me because he could no longer survive. Therefore, unlike most players who have no burden, he was forced to sell himself and had to be cautious. Those espionage activities are all managed very strictly and are carried out completely according to some contents in reality. Although this situation seems a bit fussy, I have to say that the confidentiality aspect is indeed much stronger.

Since Shan Wuwu doesn’t know what’s inside, we won’t ask. After a brief communication, we found the entrance and exit. This entrance is not guarded on the Demon World side, so we can arrogantly set up our posture here. Then as my command is issued, Christina directly throws a burst fireball, while Shan Fifty-five steps forward. Jumped out before exploding the fireball. (To be continued...)
