Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 149 The Mad King’s Smartest Episode

Everyone is so diligent. As a game producer, a senior time traveler and a member of the players, how could Ji Ming not help?

"Adele, I suddenly remembered that I need to go out for something..."

"what?"

Adele, who was reading a novel behind the counter, raised her head blankly, but all she saw was the doctor's white back.

Although the peak of daily traffic in the commercial street is in the evening, there is also a small peak at noon, so during this time period, basically all shops are open.

Ji Ming walked into a carpenter's shop, looked around, and immediately began to strengthen his troops.

"This, this, and this, pack them all up and take them away for me!"

The old carpenter was taking a nap on the recliner with his eyebrows raised. He looked at Ji Ming who came in and was still confused until now.

It's so exciting, a doctor comes to buy a plane at noon!
But money is nothing if you don't make it in vain. The old guy happily accepted the money and gave Ji Ming an extra small ornament.

"Come here often, Dr. Ji."

Without stopping, Ji Ming turned around and went to the blacksmith shop and magic prop shop next to him.

Don’t be afraid that the spot goods are too expensive. With Dr. An’s help, my brother is very rich now, so just buy the damn thing!
A man was found to help deliver the goods. The blacksmith held the hammer handle and shook his head.

"It seems that what happened last night is true. Otherwise, why would the doctor buy an iron crotch guard?"

After packing the things on the table, the mage sighed while holding his brush.

"Doctor, I belong to the bronze race. What's the use of buying a low-level magic scroll? It's better to buy some energy potion and take care of your health..."

As the story became darker and darker, Ji Ming simply shut up and ran up to the second floor with large and small bags under Adele's gaze.

I changed my outfit, put on a piece of cloth, and stopped in the small square.

"I'll go, Chu... the mysterious businessman!"

Since defeating the kobolds in the third stage, all the mysterious merchant's goods have been transferred to the game mall and have never appeared again.

I thought this NPC was completely offline, so I missed it.

I didn't expect to see him again at noon. It was really outrageous.

"I knew that hard work would work. The authorities must have come to send us supplies!"

Immediately, players ran over with their hands raised and jumping up and down.

But before getting closer, he kept mumbling.

"Brother, I don't mean any harm, don't chop me!"

This is a critical period and every minute and every second counts.

Even if the God of Death didn't recklessly reopen the door, no one would want to end up in the urinal because of someone seeking death.

He opened the game store three steps away and was about to take a bunch of screenshots when his eyes were caught by the products on it.

"This is……"

He exclaimed and quickly bought one of the tools.

As the screenshots were uploaded to the public screen, all the players who were still busy ran over in a swarm.

The technological level of the dungeon is relatively low. The ones with the strongest smelting technology so far may even be the dead kobolds who can no longer die.

——After all, they can still refine iron ore into iron rods.

Therefore, the players searched through the dog village but could not find any useful production tools, only some stone things that could be used.

This is already very easy, but the tools are not handy, let alone complicated parts. Just scraping a wooden board can make me sweat profusely.

But now, the latest products on the mall include a lot of carpentry tools, and judging from the pictures on the side, they are all quite exquisite iron gadgets.

In addition, there are also scarce resources such as nails, screws, glue, etc. that are completely unavailable in dungeons.

There were even magic scrolls that had been sold out, as well as unprecedented iron armor.

Just because the mall has not been updated for a long time, players have had a lot of redemption points in their hands in the past two days, so the goods on the stalls were quickly sold out.

In the end, only the God of Death was left standing in front of Ji Ming.

This guy was so annoying that Ji Ming almost couldn't help but want to step back when he stared at him.

But Joey looked at the empty cargo list and just scratched his head slowly.

"Um... Brother Merchant, don't you have any gas bombs here? I've already used them up."

……

The mother was so embarrassed that she said that the Nurgle thing you made was responsible for all the gas bombs in my mall, right? ?

There was no other way, so Ji Ming had no choice but to return to Sunshine City to purchase goods.

When renovating the new clinic, he specifically asked Cooper to pay attention to the airtightness of the medicine room door, and also requested that an additional door be added on the other side of the corridor.

So now he doesn't have to worry about Adele discovering anything strange. He can live his life openly.

But when I came to the storage room to get the materials, I discovered that there were only a few medicinal materials brought in from the outer city.

Although there is definitely enough for the players, they will have to restock it tomorrow at the earliest and the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Fortunately, I have been in the inner city for a few days, and I have to go back to the old lady to report that I am safe.

Pushing open the door of the medicine room, he habitually opened the drawer of the medicine table.

As Shushu's home, although he has been busy with his business outside these days, he will send his subordinates here from time to time to deliver things that he doesn't need but may be useful to Ji Ming.

For example, a blood-stained ice arrow scroll, or a dagger with obvious signs of use.

No need to guess, it must be a remnant picked up by the rats when they were cleaning the battlefield.

But what appeared in the drawer today turned out to be a sharp fang, and judging from the breakage of the tail, it seemed that it had been knocked off by violence.

Ji Ming always felt familiar. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered where he had seen it.

This size, this curvature... this is actually a cheetah man's tooth!
Is the outer city already so dangerous that even the stalkers of the Sharp Claw family could be seriously injured?
Thinking of this, Ji Ming clasped his hands together again.

"I hope Rat is okay."

Crush medicine, boil medicine, explode, and cook.

Ji Ming first prepared some poison gas bombs, and then some rejuvenation liquid.

And with the release of the third generation of One Pot Rejuvenation, the long-lost level upgrade prompt finally appeared again.

[Rejuvenation Liquid Production·Proficient→Excellent]

After bottling all the medicinal solutions, Ji Ming did not set up a stall this time. Instead, he threw all the medicines directly into the game mall for public sale.

Looking at the dwindling inventory, he opened his current reality panel.

……

Just four words, people are beautiful and have kind hearts.

If Ji Ming could go back to a month ago and know that his panel would look like this one month later, he would definitely stop working at the beginning.

But after going through so much, he realized just how powerful these shabby skills were.

It has special attack when hitting people, and it can also have special attack when hitting ghosts.

A pipe thousands of miles away can send the caring wooden fish sound to the ears of the big deer head.

Such intensity is heartwarming.

By the time he finished everything here, it was already afternoon.

There is usually not much work in the afternoon, but as the sun was setting to the west, a patient in a very serious condition came to the clinic, and his entire leg was shot off.

"what's up?"

The wounded man's face had turned pale and he must not be able to ask questions, so Ji Ming asked his companions while preparing the medicine.

"Oh, it sounds terrible..."

Using the Second Generation of Rejuvenation to smear the wounds on his body, the man wearing old leather armor and carrying a sword at his waist began to speak in grief.

It turned out that he and the injured on the bed were adventurers who were forced to change careers after Sunshine City suspended adventure activities.

It's just that they didn't have enough ability to join as a debt processor. Instead, they became bodyguards for delivering goods to some small shops.

They originally wanted to make a quick delivery while it was safe at noon, but when they passed by a dark alley, a beggar jumped out of it.

It would be fine if it was an ordinary beggar, but this turned out to be a wild werewolf beggar with red eyes that had turned violent.

...Ji Ming can already imagine the image of a werewolf coming out to scratch people in a certain MOBA game despite being "unstoppable".

"Wow, that's really scary."

"Yes."

The man carrying the knife sighed again.

"You are lucky. In the past two days, more and more people want to move from the outer city to the inner city. Many people are selling iron and begging their grandfather and grandma to move to the inner city."

After glancing outside the door to make sure no one was there, he lowered his voice.

"I heard that because of this, there are still people selling people to mercenary groups privately, and they want them regardless of gender."

hiss……

Ji Ming immediately thought of the terrifying legend about Andrew.

The man was still talking to himself. "Anyway, it's no longer possible to get in with just ordinary connections. It's even harder to get in with money."

"There are a bunch of people around the gate of the inner city every day, like the two of us. If I hadn't known a tax handler who could help bring them in, my brother might have bled to death."

Ji Ming was wrapped in gauze.

"It's not easy..."

After all, they had given him information, so Ji Ming originally wanted to find a reason to give them a discount.

but.

"Doctor, I'm not saying all this to make you pity us, or to say that you are a good person. What's the use of pitying us?"

Leaving behind a sufficient amount of consultation fee, he supported his companion and slowly left the clinic.

Looking at Adele who was hesitant to speak, Ji Ming pressed his hand.

"I'm going to find Cooper to see if he can help us take care of everyone in the Iron Chain team."

After comforting the little girl, he followed the address left by Cooper to the nearby handler's office.

The nearest office was located downstairs in an apartment, but Ji Ming did not meet Cooper. Instead, he met three tax handlers, two men and one woman.

Unlike the violent institutions that flaunted their power in the past, the three of them did not look glamorous.

Although it was well hidden, there was a faint trace of blood on the collar, and there was a bit of fatigue in his eyes.

All I can say is that I am indeed famous, and people recognized me before I even introduced myself.

"Isn't this Dr. Ji Ming? You're here to see Captain Cooper, right?"

Another handler put it categorically.

"Don't worry, the captain has already told you that we will definitely strengthen night patrols in your area. No more colleagues or loli succubi will come to cause trouble."

Ji Ming:......

"No, I have other things to ask him for."

Shaking his head.

"This is really unfortunate. There was an impromptu meeting within the handler in the afternoon, and Captain Cooper was just called away by the superiors."

"How about... you can tell us if you have anything?"

Oh my gosh, you guys are holding a meeting internally, are things that bad?

Ji Ming had no choice but to write a note.

"I used to be a member of the Iron Chain Team in the outer city, and I have received a lot of favors from everyone. I just hope that Captain Cooper can help me pay attention to them."

"In this case, even if something happens, there will always be an acquaintance who can help collect the body, right?"

They took the note and looked at it.

"Morton's Blacksmith Shop, and two new debt handlers... Oh, they're all easy to find. Don't worry, it won't be a problem!"

After bidding farewell to the three tax handlers, Ji Ming returned to the clinic.

The time during the day always passed quickly. As the sun set, he ate his meal, said goodbye to Adele and closed the door of the clinic.

Although Andrew's retaliation is currently uncertain, given the current situation, precautions must be taken.

So he still rearranged the trap and lay on the bed with his clothes on.

In his rare free time, he took a nap for a few hours, and the time came to ten o'clock in the evening.

Watching the numbers suspended in mid-air gradually return to zero and the transparent wall disappear, the Mad King waved his arm and led the goblins out of the barracks once again.

The players are preparing for the battle with all their strength, and the Mad King is naturally not idle either. Compared with yesterday, they are already completely different today.

He dug out an old book from somewhere, imitated the military formation on it, and drilled his goblins fiercely.

Therefore, unlike the last swarm, this time the goblins appeared to be very orderly whether they were marching or turning. At least there would be no more falling behind and chaos.

And unlike the ridiculous weapons they had before, even if it was just a wooden stick, today they each had at least one weapon.

The warriors guarding the Mad King even carried a long-handled stone ax and a stone shield, which looked very domineering with their strong man-like figures.

In order to allow players to spawn monsters, Ji Ming actually asked Silvia to resurrect a batch of goblins as experience packs in the morning.

But the players knew that the goblin army had collected all these wild monsters when they passed by last night, so before noon, all the monsters here were cleared.

So heading north along the silent armory, the Mad King followed yesterday's traces and came to the Holy Tree Lake.

With another wave of his hand, he didn't need to speak at all. The goblins slowly spread out and surrounded the entire lake.

"Hahaha, yesterday I was in a hurry for success. Today I am well prepared. I will definitely kill them all!"

Amid the continuous laughter of the surrounding warriors, the Mad King stood up from his throne with great satisfaction.

"I will kill all the people on the island and leave no prisoners. I want to watch the humans being chopped into pieces and see how they can be resurrected!"

As he spoke, he looked towards the other side of the lake, but his smile gradually solidified.

No, why do you have so many messy things over there? ?

No matter what he said yesterday, he had seen it close to the island. Since in the end the humans picked up weapons and rushed over to fight him, he probably knew what cards they had.

Apart from the traps and obstacles on the bridge, there are just a few ridiculous-looking slings.

But now, not only has the bridge been rearranged, but the appearance of obstacles and traps has completely changed.

The fortifications have also spread to the island, and there are also catapults similar in style to yesterday, but obviously upgraded, and a huge strange thing made of wood and iron.

This... is not simple!
Also, when you work hard, others must be working hard too.

The Mad King rubbed his forehead and forced himself to calm down.

After thinking for a moment, he issued the order.

"Three goblin warriors led five hundred ordinary goblins to clear the way, focusing on dismantling the defenses!"

Soon, facts confirmed that his caution was right.

Just a few steps out, the goblin warriors' cries of pain came from the bridge.

It turned out that there were a few wooden nails hidden on the side of the high wall. It subconsciously wanted to remove the obstacle, but was directly stuck in it.

And this is just the beginning. There are endless traps on the bridge, and they all cooperate with the obstacles.

Each one is well hidden when not triggered, making it difficult to detect when they move.

Qiangzi and Ma Yi specially asked the God of Death to come over and test it in the afternoon, but even he, a highly concentrated intelligent creature, found it difficult to walk across the entire bridge intact.

Not to mention that this group of green people who originally had low IQs were infected by the demonic energy and turned into big idiots.

Just like Tom being played by Jerry, all kinds of screams kept coming out one after another.

The players were naturally delighted to hear it and all picked up their cameras, while the audience in the live broadcast room started a cyber casino again.

[I bet a hundred Happy Beans that the three hairs can reach the middle section safely]

[This one-armed one is sure to win, since it can’t move obstacles anyway]

[Actually, even a Goblin Warrior fell down with this one, I’m still wondering about it]

There were even more abstract tasks - grading the goblins' death status.

[Look at this guy, with a mortal body, he ate eight traps in a row before dying, protecting his teammates to the maximum extent, a god among gods! 】

[Falling into the water to feed the fish, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers, and it's a blur! 】

[Only half of the body is still crawling, paying homage to the title scene of the zombie film. The gold content is already full, okay]

From this, we can also see the brutality of this battle.

Last time, the warriors acted on their own initiative. A group of stragglers were able to rush to the center of the bridge without any problems.

But now, under the command of the Mad King, this group of goblins has only reached the middle stage, and has already lost one-third of its members non-combat.

This is because they were frightened out of their wits, and they stopped engaging in violent demolitions and mindless walking along the way, otherwise they would all have died.

"These damn humans are so cunning and can do harm to others!"

The Mad King cursed angrily, but did not announce a retreat, but wanted to see what else the advance team would encounter later.

Then he saw the players raising their long-range weapons one after another, and arrows rained down in the next moment.

Not only the crossbows, but also the slings that had to be hit at a distance before were now being used.

Moreover, not only their range has been greatly increased, but their power has also been greatly amplified.

Under the throw, a Goblin warrior holding a shield was staggered and almost fell off the bridge.

With the same force, more than half of them were gone yesterday, but today they are unable to move even after half of them are gone?
If the Mad King was also a player, he would have cursed his mother by now.

After this day, not only did the human monsters return to full strength, how could their combat effectiveness soar?

(Sweating Soybeans) Which role do you want to promote in planning this wave? Is the KPI pressure so high?
Under the head-on attack from humans, the already precarious morale of the advance team collapsed instantly.

Before the Mad King could give the order, they all ran back screaming, without any fighting spirit.

The Mad King's previous ambition also disappeared, and he could only sigh and sit back on the throne.

Now that the matter is over, is it okay to take the remaining two thousand goblins and rush over?
can.

But victory must be paved with the bones of the tribe.

And in order to wipe out a hundred humans, it would cost the lives of more than a thousand goblins. This deal would be too bad.

Besides, they might be able to resurrect themselves, but if they die, they will really be gone.

If the island in the middle of the lake was a cumbersome tortoise yesterday, then today it is a tough hedgehog.

As a result, the war between goblins and humans reached a stalemate.

There was a bit of confusion in the Mad King's eyes. With no one to communicate with, he couldn't help but start to doubt himself.

The good news is that they definitely don't dare to rush out and counterattack themselves.

Bad news, I can't rush in and do anything to others.

Looking at the solemn faces of the Goblin warriors around him, he knocked on the handrail and his eyes gradually became distant.

Suddenly, I caught an inspiration.

and many more……

I have already blocked the humans here, why do I have to fight against them?

I have the initiative, I can completely open up my mind, right?
"Hahaha, I am a great genius!"

The Mad King was about to laugh wildly, but quickly restrained himself.

"Calm down, still calm down!"

His face darkened. There were a total of eight warriors around him, and he called five of them over with a wave of his hand.

"You, each of you will lead two hundred tribesmen..."

The warrior's IQ was much higher than that of other violent goblins, and he quickly understood what he meant.

"Ah, I'm so exhausted. I'm just communicating with a three-year-old!"

The five warriors left with a total of one thousand goblins, and there were still three warriors left by the lake. All the warriors and more than a thousand goblins,
Under his own leadership, it is more than enough to surround this group of players!
