Starting From Zero

Chapter 38 Senior Employees

"Anyway, we need to add a sound barrier. I'll go down and take a look first." I said to the gold coin.

"But I don't know how to make noise barriers." We all froze at Jin Coin's words. "You can't blame me. I'm a Taoist priest, not a mage!"

"It doesn't matter, I have a backup plan." Opening the Phoenix Dragon Space, released Ye Yue, and then explained her mission. Yeyue nodded, then moved her face to the side of mine. Her eyepiece flashed, and my ears and a small area around them were immediately petrified. Yeyue quickly went around to the other side and petrified my other ear again, and then leaned towards Bingbing. "Since there is no sound barrier, let's partially petrify the ears first. If they become stone, they will lose their hearing and will not be affected by the damn magic sound."

Bingbing and the others understood immediately upon hearing this, and took the initiative to cooperate with Yeyue to quickly petrify. Only Crystal Flame and Crystal Princess were a little uncomfortable with large humanoid pets like Yeyue. Advanced humanoid monsters are very rare and not all players can see them.

After the petrification was over, I put Yeyue away again, and then led everyone down the stairs. A very troublesome problem after the ears are petrified is that they cannot control their balance when walking. They always feel tilted in one direction, and the specific direction depends on the petrified area of ​​the left and right ears. After all, Ye Yue is not an electronic instrument, and the control of the petrified area is not stable, so it is unlikely to influence the balance. The ears play a big role in the human balance mechanism. Now that the ears have been petrified, it feels like walking on cotton.

As I walked down the stairs, I got used to my balance. After I reached the lower floor, I realized why my shouting when I came down just now failed to stop the annoying magic sound. Because the cave below is a huge underground space, the space inside is extremely spacious. The person who made the noise was at least three to five hundred meters away from the cave entrance. He carried a loudspeaker with him. Of course, the sound could fill the entire space, but my shouting was not that loud.

After Zhenhong and the others came down, they hid behind a fallen stalagmite with me and carefully observed the situation inside.

Now there are three groups besides us. The first group is a bird that is more than three meters tall and looks a bit like a lizard. But a creature that can walk upright. Judging from his rock-like skin, this is probably the earth demon. There were several little monsters behind him, but they were all lying on the ground, and they were all foaming at the mouth. They looked like they had been disturbed to death.

There are two groups of players standing opposite the monster. Since they are relatively far apart, you can tell at a glance that they are not in the same group. One of the two groups of players is relatively small, with only four people in total. There are three men and one woman, but it seems that the four of them are the strongest group here. There were another group of seventeen people in total. I glanced at Lima and locked onto the two beauties standing in the back row.

Gold Coin took the information file and unfolded it, looked at the magic photo and then looked at the person. "Target confirmed."

"Are they just the two of them?" Princess Crystal asked me in a low voice.

"It should be right. Looking at the musical instruments they are holding, they are rare. There is little chance of a mistake."

Princess Crystal sighed: "Fortunately, I have a space ring, otherwise I would have to hold a musical instrument like them all day long."

Bing Ling said: "Your pipe organ is like a hill. Do you think you are a female Titan?"

Zhenhong pointed at the man at the front of the seventeen-person team. The guy was holding a steel bow and a crystal tube. Just like playing a violin, you hold the crystal tube on your shoulder and pull it with a steel bow, and the terrifying demonic sound is emitted by this damn noise-making machine. It seemed that the man was still looking intoxicated, but unfortunately, except for him, everyone else at the scene looked like they were about to vomit. Thanks to the good concentration of these people, I would have gone crazy if I did.

"It's our turn." Jin Coin jumped out first. I originally planned to observe the situation at the scene again, but she has gone out, and it is not good for me to hide anymore.

We were spotted as soon as we came out, and everyone's eyes turned. But that disgusting man's music still kept playing, and he seemed to be playing harder. The only pretty girl among the four teams on the opposite side was constantly hinting me to help with her eyes, but there was a kind of relief in the eyes of the demon that he was about to be released. Although their expressions are weird, their bodies are even weirder. It's all because Jin Coin is too anxious. After observing for a while, I will definitely find that everyone at the scene has actually been frozen.

Just now I thought it was strange that these people were standing around and posing, but they were all here listening to music. If the man played really beautifully, just listen to it. But they still endure such disgusting noise, which shows the problem. It all makes sense now. It’s not that these people want to listen to music, it’s that they simply can’t move.

The few people behind me also discovered the problem at the same time, because as we got closer, we had clearly noticed the feeling of being hindered in our movements, as if there was a lot of resistance when walking in water. It seems that petrifying one's ears can only eliminate the unpleasant sound, but it has no effect on the magical effect. The noise the man made was not simply an unpleasant demonic sound. That is the authentic magical sound that can trigger magic. It's just that the sound is too loud.

Bingbing reacted quickly and took out the flute as she walked, twirled it beautifully in her hand and put it to her mouth. A burst of melodious and clear music immediately sounded. It was as if the physical resistance suddenly disappeared. As soon as the resistance disappeared, the scene immediately became chaotic. Everyone in the three parties, except the man himself, immediately started to turn around and vomit. The man discovered that the magic effect was broken and immediately stopped playing. He shouted something at us, which made me stunned. Quickly summon Yeyue.

The man took a step back nervously, but the others were too busy vomiting to care about us.

Yeyue kissed my ear gently, and my hearing recovered instantly. After that, Yeyue went to help others remove petrification. Princess Crystal was relatively shy. Although they were both women, she was still made blushing by Yeyue.

The man looked at us up and down, and I looked at him again. This guy was dressed in white cloth and had a sword on his back. He looked like a Taoist priest, but the instrument in his hand was really lethal, as you could see clearly by watching the group of people next to him vomiting. He looks handsome at first glance, but the closer he looks, the more uncomfortable he becomes. Even a little disgusting.

"I'm asking you, are you deaf?" This guy shouted to me arrogantly.

Snapped. With a super crisp slap, the guy was spun around three times before falling to the ground. Yeyue's body lay between him and me, staring at this guy closely. After he got up from the ground, he rushed forward fiercely almost immediately, but after running two steps, he suddenly fell forward, and then his whole body was dragged backwards and hung upside down. Yeyue's big tail wrapped around his feet, hanging him upside down in the air and shaking him. "Speak politely to my master."

The guy didn't accept the lesson at all and immediately pulled out the green sword from his back. He swung his sword and stabbed Yeyue's tail. Snapped. A bolt of lightning shot out from Gold Coin's palm, hitting the guy's wrist, and his sword was immediately knocked away. Yeyue rolled up his legs and threw him out violently. He knocked over a stalagmite with a bang and fell to the ground, immediately spurting out a large mouthful of blood.

A muscular man in the team behind the man drew his sword and prepared to charge forward, but was held back by the beautiful woman beside him. "Master."

It was only then that I noticed that everyone had recovered from vomiting, but they all looked quite embarrassed, and everyone's face was blue, as if they had been poisoned.

The man who fell to the ground rolled up from the ground. He pointed at me and yelled angrily; "You...you..." He suddenly turned his head and looked at those people. "Why are you still standing there stupidly? Come on for me?"

Another average-looking but honest player standing in front said in embarrassment: "But boss, he is Ziri!"

"I don't care if he is a red sun or a black sun. If you don't kill him today, I will kill you every day when you go back."

The girl named Ming Jing who was selected by us came out and said: "But we can't beat him!"

"There are so many of you and you can't deal with these few of them? What's wrong with your dad who doesn't want to pay for his medical expenses?"

The girl bit her lower lip, and finally turned around and stood between me and the guy. Several other people also came over and stood among us. The female player who first grabbed the muscular man said to us: "We know who you are, and we also know that we are not your opponent, but we have our own difficulties, and we have no choice but to offend today." She waved forward after speaking. "superior."

"Sister? Do you really want to fight?" the very honest man asked. The woman didn't answer. Instead, he glanced at him and the man nodded helplessly. "alright, I got it!"

Qingxin quickly turned her guzheng sideways, and two outriggers popped out from the bottom of the guzheng to support it on the ground. She squatted half-kneeling in front of the guzheng, pressed her hands on the strings, stroked them to both sides to the edges, and then returned her hands to the On the middle string, press lightly. Buzz…a simple trill. With a bang, a stalagmite next to me exploded on the spot. scared me.

Gold Coin called out first. "Holy shit, this girl is an offensive musician."

Before Qing Xin's second note came out, Ming Jing's pipa had already started playing. A crisp starting sound immediately formed a blue magic vortex around her. On the surface, it seemed to have no power, but a dozen rotating flying blades suddenly flew out of the vortex. These small flying blades are not as big as half a moon, and when turned, the diameter is only a dozen centimeters, but having more than a dozen of these small things flying all over the sky is not fun. She suddenly made a strong sound, and the flying blades all rushed towards us as if they had heard the order.

"Lightning Palm." Zhenhong stood in front of us. I only felt a red shadow flying. Almost all of the dozen or so flying blades were blocked, but she suddenly screamed. "Oops. One is missing!"

"I'll do it." Crystal Flame jumped over and blocked it with the sound blade in his hand. Suddenly, a cloud of sparks exploded in the air with a crisp sound, and the flying blade was blown away and stuck into the ground.

Ming Jing quickly changed the rhythm of Pipa, and all the flying blades blocked by True Red flew back and flew back. However, the flying blade that was driven into the ground by the crystal flame was a little slower because it was inserted too deep. Can't fly out for a while. Ming Jing also noticed this situation, turned around and strengthened the rhythm of the instrument. Just when the flying blade was about to fly out, Zhen Hong suddenly fell from mid-air and hit the flying blade with a punch. "Don't even think about it."

There was a muffled bang and the whole ground shook. After the complete set of the national weapon, the auxiliary power bonus of Zhenhong's Thousand Jin Fist Arm is 3 tons. Adding Zhenhong's own attributes, the basic value of the single-arm's striking power is four and a half tons. Not only did the flying blade fail to fly with this punch, but it was instead driven deeper into the ground. However, this punch seemed to be a little too forceful. Zhen Hong punched and the flying blade entered the ground. Her fist also penetrated half of the way, and her elbow was inserted into the ground.

Zhenhong didn't take it seriously at first. Just when he was about to pull it up, he suddenly heard a crack of rocks. A large crack actually appeared on the ground, extending several meters away at both ends. Zhen Hong froze on the spot. The muscular man opposite didn't notice the cracks on the ground, thinking that the opponent's fist was stuck and wanted to take advantage of it. Seeing him coming over, Zhenhong quickly pulled out her hand and shook it at him: "Don't come over!" Zhenhong didn't think well of it even after pulling out her fist. Instinctive reactions kill people! She shouldn't have pulled her fist out.

The cracks on the ground expanded instantly, and a huge spider pattern spread out all over the ground. The muscular man noticed something was wrong as soon as he took one step, but when he stepped back, it caused an even greater shock. Everyone in the underground cave glanced at each other, and then there was a bang on the ground, and accompanied by screams, the entire ground collapsed.

The landslide came so suddenly that everyone was hit by the overturned rocks before they could react. I could still fly, but the vibration caused the roof of the cave to collapse, and a lot of rocks fell down. As soon as I spread my wings, I was hit by a rock as big as a car.

Zhenhong pulled the relatively fragile Bingbing to her side, and a boulder weighing dozens of tons suddenly smashed down. She raised her arms and actually caught the rock, then suddenly pushed it up and threw the rock away. Yeyue ran over and surrounded the Crystal Flame and Crystal Princess with her body as I asked. The defense of a familiar is usually higher than that of the player. Her blocking is at least much better than directly hitting two musicians who have no defense. Moreover, her sword skills are top-notch and she can cut large rocks directly. The remaining small rocks didn't do much damage. There was one Bing Ling left who was protected by me. When I took off just now, I planned to take her up with me, but she was knocked down. Fortunately, she was not injured. Although there was no one to protect the gold coins, she had no use for them. At this moment, she felt most comfortable, actually jumping up and down among the falling rocks under a cloudy sky.

Although the protection was very thorough, none of us were buried when the landslide ended. There is no air circulation in the cave. The smoke lingers for a long time. The entire bottom of the cave has fallen more than thirty meters downward, and a large section of the cave roof above has collapsed, forming a deep well. The gravel at the bottom of the well was piled up in a mess, and not a single person could be seen. Suddenly there was a flash of red light in the smoke, and a rock in a low-lying area turned into fragments and scattered in all directions. Yeyue stood up from inside, curled her tail, and Crystal Princess and Crystal Flame were pulled to the ground.

"Cough cough cough... so much ash!" Crystal Princess choked and coughed.

A pile of rocks on the ground next to them suddenly shone with golden light, and then they flew up automatically. These rocks slowly floated into the air. Then it flew sideways for a distance before landing. Gold coins rose up from the hole below. There was no dust on her body, and a golden light mask protected her very well.

"Wow. How did it happen like this?" Gold Coin flicked his finger: "Open." It was like a vacuum cleaner appeared above, and the dust was instantly sucked clean. "Eh? Have you seen how red it is?" Jin Coin noticed Ye Yue and the three of them.

boom. A huge rock not far from them suddenly rose up, and Zhenhong appeared under the rock. She was holding the rock with both hands. Throwing it to the side with force, the rock fell somewhere else with a loud bang. Zhenhong jumped out, then turned around and pulled Bingbing up from below. "Are you all okay? Where is Ziri?"

"I'm here! Zhenhong, could you please check carefully next time you throw something?" Zhenhong and the others turned around and saw me crawling out from under the stone that Zhenhong had just thrown.

Bing Ling climbed out after me. "Zhen Hong, you are so violent, I was almost killed by you!"

"Sorry, I didn't know you were down there."

"I'm not talking about the rocks you threw, I'm talking about the fact that you knocked down the ground!"

"I thought the bottom was solid! Who would have thought that it would be punched through with one punch! I didn't dare to use much force! It's really not strong!"

I came out, dusted myself off, and looked around. "This is troublesome. Won't the two ladies be smashed to death? What I want is a living person, not a corpse!"

"Try spiritualism." Jin Coin suggested.

"Actually, I have a good idea." Zhenhong raised a fist and slammed it on the ground. "Super Shockwave."

By the time he found out what Zhenhong wanted to do, it was already too late. With a bang, all the rocks on the ground were shaken into powder, and the ground collapsed instantly. This is because there are no gaps after the rocks were shattered, so the overall volume has shrunk a lot. The rocks turned into lime powder, not the kind of white lime, but the gray powder formed from real stone.

I looked at Hongyue in surprise: "Although stone powder is safer than large rocks. But before those people below come out, you...? Isn't it too dangerous?"

"Which bastard did this? Want to commit murder?" A snow-white man jumped out of the lime. Because he was unfamiliar and covered with white powder, I really couldn't figure out who this person was.

Before the man finished speaking, suddenly the ground beneath his feet was lifted away, and a big monster crawled out. "You don't even want to live anymore? Who dares to cause destruction in my cave?" The monster seemed to suddenly notice the situation at the scene. "Wow, what's going on? My cave! Who did this? I'm going to kill him!"

"You don't have to kill someone like this, right?" Another person emerged from the lime. I finally recognized this guy, it was the guy who made the noise in the first place. His disgusting voice is easier to recognize.

"Almost buried alive!" Dust suddenly flew around, and many people crawled out one after another. It was true that they suddenly fell from the top, but no one died.

The disgusting man saw everyone coming out and screamed immediately. "Whoever kills that guy, I will give him an additional salary of 30,000 yuan this month."

After hearing what this guy said, I started laughing. "Where are the two ladies Qingxin and Mingjing?"

A space door suddenly opened, and two people actually pulled another girl out of it. Not a speck of dust on my body. "What?"

"Not bad! Very powerful." I nodded. "We are here especially for you two today."

"Looking for us?" Ming Jing pointed at himself and asked.

Others looked at me curiously and waited for my answer. "Let me confirm something first, okay? Listening to your conversation, you two seem to be employees of this person, right?"

Qingxin nodded. "Any questions?"

I laughed: "In that case, it's easy to say. I'll pay a higher price, and you will work for me, right? If there is an agreement or something like that between you, I will help you solve the liquidated damages." Small people like them A guild is generally a small group composed of classmates or real-life neighbors and colleagues who know each other. Because everyone is acquainted with each other, we are relatively united internally. At first I was worried that the two of them would not leave their little guild, but now there is no need to worry. Since it is the person who pays the money, then the one with the highest price gets it.

Qingxin hesitated. But Der Spiegel responded quickly. "Are you kidding us? Do you know how much our monthly salary is?"

"Tell me."

"Hey, are you going to bargain with this guy?" The disgusting man on the ground stood up. "Do you think it's easy to find a job now? With a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, all you have to do is play games with me. This is a job that countless people have begged me to give them! You guys are really going too far today, don't talk to him again If you say one more word, I won't hire you again no matter what. Just prepare to beg on the streets!"

"Is the monthly salary ten thousand?" I said calmly: "If you two are willing to join me, I will offer you a monthly salary of two thousand crystal coins in the game. How about it? This is equivalent to doubling. ” Fifty years later, the per capita income in developed areas of the country will have reached 9,000, and 10,000 is not that high.

Qingxin stretched out a finger and said, "Add a condition."

"explain."

"Sixteen of us were hired together on the same terms."

"Qingxin, please leave us alone." The girl who came out of the space door with the two of them said: "Both you and Sister Mingjing need money at home. If you have a good opportunity, go ahead! Don't let us drag you down."

I took a step forward and said, "If sixteen people are hired together, fourteen of them can only offer one thousand crystal coins per month."

Before Qing Xin could speak, the third girl had already taken the lead and said, "We agreed, and you will be our boss from now on."

That perverted man is very uncomfortable. Although the salary is the same, of course they are more willing to follow me, not to mention they don't want to drag down Qingxin and Mingjing. For me, the money is a small problem. The value of Qingxin and Mingjing is definitely worth the wages of those people, even if those people are complete waste, it doesn't matter. Just have a pure heart and a clear mirror.

Sixteen people transferred collectively. The perverted man's guild was also forcibly disbanded by the system. The system requires that a guild must have at least two players, and now the perverted man has only one player. The number was not enough to meet the basic level, and the guild was forced to be disbanded. For this reason, he rushed up like crazy and wanted to cause trouble for us. As a result, he was miserably beaten by Yeyue like a baseball and flew out of the hole and disappeared into the vast sky.

The monster Old Demon was originally a mission for the other four-person group. The perverted man's guild simply took the wrong mission. The mission in my hand became a scrapped mission because the other party's guild was disbanded. Leave the monsters to those four players and we will return directly to Essinger.

Along the way, I found out the general situation of these sixteen people. They all seem to be a group of people who are relatively short of money, and the reasons are different. They all joined after seeing the perverted man's job advertisement, and the goal was of course money. When they first entered the game with this guy, Qing Xin and Ming Jing actually didn't know how to play games at all. It was because they had never played games before that they chose the Magic Musician profession. Old players rarely choose this profession. . Both of them were majoring in art, and the magician just happened to be in their major, so they developed quickly after that. As for how I knew the two of them, they found it strange. After all, although they are pretty good, they have not reached the level of celebrities, and it is not easy to find them.

In addition, after my inquiry, I found that the fourteen people were pretty good and worth their wages. Since none of them play music, I gave them all to Red Moon. These people are paid and considered professional players, so there is no need to be polite to them when it comes to tasks.

After letting True Red and Gold Coin go their separate ways, I took the remaining six musical beauties to the conference room. "Now I have something important to inform you."
