Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 996 Pandora, Rivers of Blood!
After Xu Shenghan checked the gold price, he imagined how to enjoy life after wealth and freedom.

It took a while to wake up from the calls of the water friends, and began to show the special effects of achievements to the fans.

The first special effect: [Underwater Breathing].

Literally, you can breathe underwater.

This is the third special skill that Pandora currently has.

The first one is [Phantom Wing] obtained after killing the Phantom Dragon, the second one is [Light Vision] obtained after killing the Elite Death Beast, and the third one is [Water Breathing].

By the way, after killing the death beast, the name of the achievement is——

[Now, who is the god of death? ]
The second special effect is actually to summon the main sports equipment for board sports such as skateboards, snowboards, surfboards, etc.

There are initial props that can be used directly, and players can also purchase similar equipment for replacement.

"This function... seems to be quite easy to use." Xu Shenghan commented.

After all, it is quite difficult to manually process props by yourself.

Xu Shenghan is able to rub a wooden surfboard with his hands because he has many years of surfing experience in reality, so he should not have a thorough understanding of surfboards.

If it’s another person—not to mention inexperienced, many people who like surfing, if they don’t know enough about surfboards, it may take a long time to work hard to get a qualified board.

In addition, other challenges may also use this skill, which saves a lot of effort.

As for the last special effect: [Heart of the Strong], Xu Shenghan was a little confused.

This special effect is not explained in detail, there is only an option to turn it on and off.

Xu Shenghan turned it on and off, tried it a few times and found no difference, so he put it aside for the time being, and started chatting with the water friends to relieve his excitement:

"1/3 of the progress of [Emergence of Power] gives 1 special effect, and the full progress of [Spirit of Water] gives 3 special effects. Lin You's math is really good."

"Why is Eva looking at me again? Does she have a crush on me?"

"Aren't you going surfing? Are you still watching the live broadcast here?"

……

Without his urging, once the information about the two consecutive ultimate challenges was made public, at the same time as the global Internet caused an uproar, the virtual world also fell into chaos.

Countless players got up late at night, logged into the virtual world, and rushed into Pandora.

Too many players rushing into the forest at the same time created a serious problem - there were not enough Reapers.

Known: The number of players is far more than that of Reapers.

Also know: The challenge task can only be completed by one person, and killing multiple people together does not count as progress.

Solution: How to complete the [Surge of Force] challenge?

For a well-mannered and morally sound person, this matter can be very troublesome.

But for the fourth natural disaster, it is easy to solve——

Too many players?Then get rid of it!

As long as the opponent is killed, the prey is mine!
Death beasts may be difficult to kill, but players are so easy to kill. We usually kill each other a lot, and practice makes perfect.

What's even more outrageous is that as players frantically search for the Death Beast, the scope of activities expands rapidly, causing players from different countries to frequently meet and have conflicts.

Players in their own country are killing each other, there is nothing to say.

Even if they lose, their skills are not as good as others, so they are willing to bow down, and finally they will fight again next time they meet.

But being killed by a foreigner is a bit uncomfortable.

What should I do if I am upset?
Shaking people of course!
So the conflict intensified again...

……

Compared with [Surge of Power], which has limited resources and caused intense conflicts among players, [Spirit of Water] is much more harmonious.

There is nothing to compete with, and those who are brave and not afraid of death can surf together.

But the question is: Where did the surfboard come from?
Also: how to chase the huge waves?
Huge waves will not wait for you to rush in place. In reality, jet skis, speedboats and other means of transportation are often used to help surfers chase huge waves.

Xu Shenghan is an Ecaran dragon tamed by physics.

But the taming of flying dragons is very difficult, and the number of successful players is very small.

Most people have to try to sneak through the stratosphere with a surfboard, and take a chance on landing directly in the area where the big waves appear.

The success rate of this crazy way of playing is naturally terribly low, most of them died suddenly on the spot, and those who didn't die couldn't catch up with the giant wave.

Those with dragons started shaving surfboards in place, then rode dragons into the big waves.

And then buried in the sea.

……

That night, Pandora's blood flowed like a river.

But until Lin You woke up the next day, there was no second person to complete the [Ultimate Challenge].

As soon as Lin You woke up, he saw the overwhelming news——

[Mobile Ball], [Titan Manufacturing], [Internal Beta Leak], [Ultimate Challenge]...

Especially the content related to [Ultimate Challenge] is so much that it is scary.

He stared at Xiaomeng with wide eyes in shock, "Death Surfing? Was it completed yesterday?"

"That's right!" Xiaomeng nodded, "It's Xu Shenghan."

"This buddy is so strong?" Lin You admired him deeply.

He couldn't complete the eight challenges without cheating, so he deeply admires everyone who can complete them.

but--

"Wait! Is the trophy ready?"

"No." Xiaomeng shook her head.

She saw the message from Qiao Nanyu to Lin You early in the morning - after Qiao Nanyu saw that the challenge had been completed, she rushed to the goldsmith immediately, telling them to hurry up and rush out a trophy first, it must be used urgently!

"Hmm..." Lin You thought for a while, "Why don't you help me find his phone number, let's ask Xu Shenghan? What if he wants cash or gold bricks?"

"No problem! Leave it to Xiaomeng!"

Xu Shenghan is the anchor of Yunmeng, so his phone number is naturally registered.

Lin You checked that the time was not too early, so he dialed it directly.

"Doo-click!"

"Hey?"

The phone rang once and was quickly picked up.

Lin You was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Lin You, I didn't expect you to answer the phone so quickly, I thought yesterday you would be so excited that you would sleep until late, and the phone would wake you up after a long time. "

On the other end of the phone, Xu Shenghan's eyes were bloodshot: "You guessed it, I really can't fall asleep - and I haven't fallen asleep until now."

"Ahem, okay, let's finish talking quickly, and you should go to bed earlier."

"It's okay." Xu Shenghan shook his head again and again, "Boss, you are my idol, let's talk for a while, I can stand it."

"Haha." Lin You laughed, "The body is still important. Let's get down to business first. Do you want a trophy, or gold bricks, or should I convert it into cash for you?"

"Trophy!" Xu Shenghan did not hesitate.

"Are you sure?" Lin You asked again, "The trophy cannot be spent directly."

"Definitely!" Xu Shenghan said firmly.

No matter how stupid he is, he also knows that the [pure gold commemorative trophy] is more valuable than pure [pure gold].

The trophy melted into gold ingots is indeed worth more than 1000 million yuan, but the trophy itself may be worth more - several million, or even doubled, is entirely possible!

Xu Shenghan is not short of money now, so he decided to keep the trophy and not rush to make a move.

Anyway, it is impossible for pure gold to lose its value, and it is completely possible to bet that its value will rise sharply.

"Okay." Lin You nodded, "Then the trophy."

"The boss is grand!" Xu Shenghan immediately sent a rainbow fart.

"However, the trophy is not finished yet, you have to wait a few more days to get it." Lin You explained the situation.

"Understood, no problem." Xu Shenghan nodded immediately to express his understanding.

After finishing talking, before Lin You was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, before receiving the award, remember to prepare about two million."

"Ah?" Xu Shenghan was confused, "Why?"

Before accepting the award, you have to pay 200 million?How come it's the same as a scam?
"Pay taxes." Lin You explained, "I don't know much about this area, but I guess, if you bring 25 kilograms of gold home, it may not be tax-free..."

"Ah?" Xu Shenghan was completely confused.

He has heard of paying taxes on bonuses, but he doesn't seem to have heard of paying taxes on trophies!
But after thinking about it carefully, it seems very reasonable, after all, this is a trophy worth tens of millions...

"That is to say, if I want to take the trophy home, I have to spend my cash first, or even borrow part of it?"

——Of course he is worth a lot now, but worth and cash are two different things!

Xu Shenghan had a headache.

Lin You had already hung up the phone calmly, and went downstairs for dinner.

After breakfast, he has to go to the laboratory to do some preparations.

Tonight, "Dark Soul" and "Gravity" are about to start closed beta testing. He has to make sufficient preparations so that he can finish the hibernation chamber perfectly in the afternoon, so as not to delay his eating melons at night.

He can't wait, he wants to see the surprised expressions of the players soon!
