Chapter 77 Pre-Meeting Preparation
Chapter 77 ·Preparation before the meeting
I like King of Fighters, but I have never really played it. Because if you don't play some special modified versions, King of Fighters can only play two people online. And there are four reincarnations here.
So, the disk Zhang Jie took out was "Metal Slug 2", with a total of four playable characters. The plot of Metal Slug 2 takes place in Egypt in the last century.
The first level is fighting in the city, fighting ordinary soldiers, natives riding horses and machetes.
The second level is fighting in the underground ruins, but the ones fighting are mummies, those long-forgotten dead things.
Zhang Jie just played the game and didn't say much on this basis. At the end of the second level, I don't know what strange mode he turned on. The boss at the end of the level, which was originally easy to kill, showed super performance that couldn't be caught up with even by unlocking the gene lock, and wiped out the entire team without leaving any slag.
So he put down the handle and made a sighing sound.
"These autonomous machines are still strong, but there are some problems with their configuration. It's not impossible to beat them head-on, but that requires ridiculously sophisticated operations, or even directly inputting cheat codes. The former... is too difficult. The latter, the consequences are very bad. So, if the personnel configuration can be changed, it should be easier to overcome the difficulties."
He was not making it up, because the autonomous machines in Metal Slug do have slight differences in performance. However, the differences are not in this generation, but everyone is interested in other things anyway.
"For example, this one." He first pointed to the little man controlled by Zheng Zha. "It reacts quickly, and its offense and defense are also sufficient. But its endurance is insufficient and not long-lasting enough. It should work harder in this aspect."
He then pointed to Jiang Yu's little man. "At the end of this level, you can drive a robot to fight, but the robot is still a little too fragile. It would be better if it had better weapons."
Then, Zhan Lan. "She is actually the most important, after all, she can see far ahead. Unfortunately, there is no walkie-talkie or something like that in hand. They will lose in the end, mainly because they are fighting on their own. If these villains can also keep the information connected, share, and not be interrupted. Then at least they will not lose this battle easily."
"Brother Jie, you like to give orders." Jiang Yu smiled and shook his head, but he did not point at Zhang Jie's villain and say, "If you are not timid, maybe the situation will get better." After all, everyone knows what kind of situation Zhang Jie is in. And now there is indeed no effective way to deal with it.
"But let's still fight as a team." He stretched. "It's still early today, why don't we play PVP? Ah... that is, fighting in the opposing camps? Maybe, we can still discover some skills from it?"
Whether there is a date or not, just fight. However, Zhang Jie waved his hand and smiled bitterly.
"No, I'm old. If I continue playing games, I might die suddenly. I want to live a few more years."
So that's it. Is this the limit of information disclosure? If you want to leak more information about the hostile Samsara team, you will definitely be punished by the Lord God.
"That's right." So Zheng Zha took over his words. "As for games, it's okay to play occasionally. You still have to focus on business at other times. But let's not talk about that today. No, let's stop talking about games or work."
"I'm also very hungry." Zhan Lan also smiled and nodded. "I ran here in the middle of the day and didn't have time to eat lunch. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to catch up with my sister-in-law's cooking today?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Jie laughed and stood up. He asked his girlfriend to prepare food. His voice was more cheerful and cheerful than usual. He took the initiative to pat Jiang Yu and Zheng Zha on the shoulders and touched his head with them. "You guys came here suddenly, which made me a little nervous. This time, I have to let you guys accompany me to have a few drinks. Those who can walk upright, don't even think about running away."
"I'm eighteen." Jiang Yu shrugged.
Zheng Zha covered half of his face with a deep voice. "Then, it's time to show you the power of the office director's drinking table."
A burst of laughter.
And a few hours later, Zhan Lan, whose cheeks were slightly flushed due to drunkenness, dragged two half-dead things and called for full body repair and hangover under the main god's light ball - Zhang Jie proved with practical actions that your brother Jie is still your brother Jie. In the case of completely letting go, two or three people together are not enough for him to hit with one finger.
…………………………
Jiang Yu's vision became clear again - he found that he really didn't like the drinking table culture. Unfortunately, this round of wine cannot be avoided. Some people need to vent their inner emotions, and some people need peace of mind.
What does it mean that people in the rivers and lakes cannot help themselves? He roughly felt a little. Even if the Lord God repaired and erased the high-level alcohol content and corresponding sequelae in his body that even this superhuman physique could not withstand, the feeling of being drunk was still an unfriendly memory.
——Compared with the sequelae of opening the second-level gene lock, it is naturally just pediatrics. But compared to being drunk, I would rather open the second-level gene lock a few more times.
Jiang Yu exhaled lightly and sat down at the conference table under the Lord God's light ball. Sorting out his inner thoughts. And it was basically consistent with the information he knew, this group battle that started in advance was probably the mummy.
The Mummy, the Legend of Gods and Ghosts - He reached out and asked the Lord God for the details of the first part of The Mummy. Then he put it on the conference table and looked at the other two people who were also resting at the table.
"The possibility is very high." Zhan Lan glanced at it and nodded. Egypt, last century, ancient tombs, mummies. All the necessary elements are here. "But is it possible that it will be a second one?"
She raised her hand and exchanged the information for the second part of The Mummy with the Lord God. It is different from Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, which was only released in 2008, and The Mummy, which was released in 2017. The movie "The Mummy Returns" was produced in 2001 and was well received as a classic sequel.
The reason why she chose the second part was because the game Zhang Jie chose was 'Metal Slug 2'
"The two movies are ten years apart in timeline. But they are indeed stories with the same theme." Jiang Yu nodded and shook it again. "But the plot of the second part is too grand compared to the first one. As novices, I don't think we will be assigned to such a vast battlefield. What's more..."
He paused for a moment because he noticed Zheng Zha's overflowing desire for expression.
"The plot of the second part involves Anubis, a powerful ancient god. Its black pyramid still has its divine power, and it is even directly connected to the underworld controlled by Anubis." Zheng Zha said with a serious expression. He was referring to the plot at the end of the second part, where the undead priest Immorton and the male protagonist O'Connor fall to the edge of the underworld together. O'Connor, who was helped by the heroine Evelyn, successfully escaped, while Immorton, who was abandoned by his lover Ansuna, gave up struggling in despair and fell into the ground.
Theoretically, a high priest would not die from a simple fall, even if the Temple of Anubis banned his divine power. Because it was also killed by Anubis' soul-hunting carriage in the first part, but it can also be resurrected in the second part. But the fact is that Immorton never made a splash again and left the IP.
"For us, it is still too early to deal with great gods like Anubis. We may not even be able to deal with the endless army of death. Unless this team battle is the type of joint fight against the enemy. But sure enough… the possibility is still relatively low.”
"And after all, it was also a product in 2001." Jiang Yu cooperated. "Personally, I still prefer the first part in 1999. And the second part may involve the plot of "The Scorpion King", which is even more likely to cause confusion. I speculate that after the team battle is over, we can dig deeper. You can really encounter these plots, but in the process of team battle... the possibility is relatively low. "
Two to one, Zhan Lan lowered his eyes slightly.
"I admit that your statement is reasonable, but I personally have reservations... Anyway, both movies operate in the same style of scenes, and they have to deal with the same type of enemies. And in this regard, I think even if we make two preparations, there won’t be much of a problem.”
In the end, she insisted on her opinion - but as she said, even if she was prepared, the problem would not be that big. Whether you are fighting the mummies or the death army, you are destined to use anti-necron weapons. And even in the land of the Nine-Glory God, where the power of heaven that favors the Yahweh line is restricted, the Death Army still has the characteristic of being beheaded and destined to die.
——The kobold who will die if his head is cut off... Ah, why does it smell like Khorne?
Jiang Yu nodded. He didn't intend to argue with Zhan Lan. Anyway, it has been framed as a mummy series, so even if there are deviations, it is not really a problem.
After all...there's plenty of time.
"We have to go back to the aliens." Zheng Zha turned his head and looked at Jiang Yu: "Brother Jiang, the 'good stuff' you mentioned before is..."
"The culprit who made me look like I did when I came back." In the previous drinking party, Jiang Yu did not mention the 'Black Water' matter, because this matter was originally planned to be discussed at the subsequent group meeting. It is more appropriate from a procedural perspective. "And I also relied on it to kill a monster that was supposed to appear in the fourth part and gained a lot of benefits. I will talk about the specific content in a subsequent meeting. But now, I think we need to discuss it before the meeting. Prepare our exchange.”
"I have nothing to change." Zheng Zha shrugged. "The bloodline has been upgraded to B level. I may exchange the remaining D for a small skill or a space prop. It is always inconvenient to borrow your ring all the time. And this time there are a lot of reward points. I plan to carry a lot of high-level ones with me. Technological firepower.”
"I plan to exchange for the soul chain." Zhan Lan also understood Zhang Jie's suggestion. "I don't really like fighting and killing. The current angel bloodline is actually enough. The spiritual chain requires a B-level branch and 5,000 reward points. It's just right. It can be used in the team to improve coordination efficiency. 'Walkie Talkie'."
She made a phone call gesture, looking a bit coquettish.
Unfortunately, neither of the two people present seemed to have any intention of pursuing her.
"I think its power may be more than a 'walkie-talkie', otherwise it would be too expensive for the price." Jiang Yu nodded and said: "I remember that in the category of materials, there seems to be something that can improve the efficiency of mental power operation. Side items. If you have enough reward points, you might be able to spend some time on them.”
"Then..." He raised his head and looked at the Lord God. "This is the equipment and weapons I need."
