Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 179 I thought you guys would be fat nerds

But what a coincidence, that’s what I’ll eat!

So Ji Ming quietly elbowed Bai Yesheng.

"Aurora, how many redemption points do you have now?"

Although Bai Yesheng didn't know what the purpose of this thing was, it was sold so cheaply, so just take it, so I reported it truthfully.

"I still have 32, how many do you have?"

"Hey, what a coincidence, I happen to be eighteen!"

After finding eighteen exchange points out of thin air, Ji Ming and Bai Yesheng completed the transaction together.

The redemption points accumulated during the closed beta test were all used up, turning into a black mace with a hint of cold light.

The two of them did not rush to touch, but lowered their heads and looked at it for a long time like appreciating treasures.

Bai Yesheng poked at the rounded corners and curled his lips.

"Damn it, I still feel like we bought a piece of crap!"

"No way, who calls it cheap?"

"Oh, indeed."

Then she grabbed the trump card in her hand.

"I paid the bulk of the money, so this weapon should be kept with me!"

"……random."

Anyway, the player warehouse is essentially the storage room of the Great Holy Sea, but because it is inside the dungeon, it can be teleported without a CD.

As the organizer of everything, Ji Ming actually has the right to access and use any player's backpack.

In short - what's yours is mine, and what's everyone's is mine.

After all the money was spent, there was no reason to stay here anymore, so the two of them turned and walked outside the blacksmith shop.

"We've been talking for so long, why haven't any other players come here yet?"

"Who knows, maybe we have awakened the Speed ​​Force and they can't catch up."

But when they opened the door, they discovered that quite a few players had already arrived at the forging workshop.

As for why they didn't rush into the blacksmith shop, it was naturally because...

"Ah, my little brother is so cute. How about taking a photo with my sister?"

Today's players are not as simple as they were at the beginning of the closed beta test. After half a month of baptism from in-game to live broadcast, each of them is better than the other.

Moreover, there were only various non-human species in the closed beta, but now you only need to walk a short distance east to see live humans, or two!

Therefore, Charlie and Bailey, who were standing at the door of the workshop and could be seen at a glance, naturally became the targets of their harassment.

"I, I don't know you..."

Probably because of the barrage mission, Bailey was frantically entangled by the trap, and his face turned red like a crab that had fallen into the pot.

Charlie on the other side was also in a hurry.

"What a hidden mission, I don't know!"

"I am a human being, but I am not the person you call me. Why is it so complicated?"

"Oh my god, our place is just a forging workshop, it has no other functions."

Alas, this is also the experience of young people.

Ji Ming shook his head and prepared to leave, but there were so many people out there that someone spotted the fire sticks in their hands as they walked out of the workshop.

"Damn it, they really sell equipment here!"

"Is this a trump card? There can be trump cards in a fantasy game. Now I believe it is a domestic game."

"It looks good. How much did it cost, sister?"

Bai Yesheng was having fun with the magic weapon, but when he saw this scene, he immediately shrank into a wooden man.

Then screamed.

"his!"

He shoved the mace in his hand into Ji Ming's arms and retreated three meters behind.

You get scared when something happens, right?So pathetic, like a clown!
Ji Ming cursed secretly and could only take advantage of the situation and pick up his trump card.

"Yes, mine."

There was nothing to hide, so Ji Ming generously posted the panel of this mace.

"What? The original price was 1919, but because you walked fast, I sold it to you for 50?"

"Damn it, we lost the opportunity! Those two little boys are the officials deliberately diverting our attention!"

"Maybe there will be a discount for the second one, so let's get in quickly!"

As a result, the news that the first player to buy something from the NPC could get a huge discount reached every player's ears through the public screen in just 30 seconds.

Ji Ming also didn't expect that his casual words could be more effective than the long novice guide he had worked so hard to write.

Almost all the players who were still leisurely wandering around turned into underground runners, running towards any building on the map that might have someone there.

He had no choice but to quietly send a message to several members of the sales team, asking them to remember to give a [-]% discount or something to the first player who came over to ask politely about the price.

and so.

Soon, the players who crowded into the blacksmith shop came out dejectedly.

"Oh, what a waste of joy, it's only for the first one, not the ones who come after!"

"At this price, how can we afford it now? I guess we won't be able to get it until the middle and late stages of the closed beta, right?"

"Wait a minute, based on my understanding of the game when I watched the live broadcast, fifty points is not a small amount of money, right?"

Only then did the players realize that the two they just met were obviously closed beta players!

"According to what you said, I suddenly felt that he looked familiar. Is he... the dog-headed strategist!?"

"Oh, it's true. I have screenshots of photos from other people's live broadcast rooms. Isn't this the Shovel Murderer!"

"Fuck, even if this is not a top player, he is still a high-level player! Let's trap him quickly and see if he can take us to fight together!"

However, looking around, the two people just now disappeared without a trace.

Dragging Bai Yesheng and running away, Ji Ming didn't stop until he reached the small forest in the south of the mine.

"Hahaha, dog-headed strategist! Shovel murderer, you made me laugh so hard. Why didn't I know you had these nicknames?"

Originally, he wanted to escape for a while, but Bai Yesheng kept laughing all the way and never stopped, and he had long since lost the energy to run.

"That's almost it. It's clearly you who comes up with all kinds of ideas when you have nothing to do!"

"It's okay, as long as they think it's you."

Ji Ming still underestimated the marginal effect of "Code Name: Yangyue". Even an Akarin player like himself, who had never broadcast live or even showed his face properly, could become a small Internet celebrity by relying on the popularity of the game.

We can only hope that as the test progresses, more Internet celebrity players will appear, further reducing their sense of presence...

Glancing at the increasingly lively forging workshop on the hillside, Bai Yesheng saw that Ji Ming still looked worried about gains and losses, and thought for a while and comforted him.

"Crooked tree, think about it, at least your nickname is Dog-headed Military Advisor, not Dog-headed..."

At this moment, she suddenly stopped talking.

It's not because the shovel in Ji Ming's hand is shining coldly, but because of the special nature of virtual reality games. All VR helmets can be connected to computers or mobile phones using Bluetooth to prevent players from missing important information.

Just now, a pop-up window popped up on her game system, reminding her that she had received a Fetion message.

Ji Ming was just about to ask her what was wrong, but found that he had also been sent a message.

If you don’t want to catch me, send me a copy: [Crooked Tree, I remember you are also a player of “Code Name: Yangyue”, right?Are you online now? 】

He turned to look at Bai Yesheng.

"Is the note coming?"

"of course."

The person who sent them the message was the police netizen in the game group, an unlucky guy who seemed to work overtime every day in his memory.

[What’s wrong, Brother Tiaozi?Don’t worry, you can’t take off the bitter tea seeds in this game, and there are no evil succubi to defeat, so I don’t need to trouble you to identify them]

[No, it’s not about this, it’s because I also got a number, but I never dared to say it in the group for fear of being beaten up by everyone]

I copy?

Ji Ming quickly searched for the player ID, which showed that it did not exist.

[But I didn’t find you]

[I am definitely not using this ID, please search for "Desert Wolf"]

Why don't you let me search the Island Flying Eagle... Ji Ming complained silently, but found that this ID can indeed search for people, and it is online.

[What's going on, Brother Tiaozi, let's have a gay interview? 】

[Haha, anyway, there are only a thousand people, more or less, we will meet sooner or later, why not now? 】

A man behind the scenes who has just broken into the officialdom and is lurking inside.jpg

"I think we shouldn't arrest you, right?"

"It's okay. If he catches us, we'll run away."

So the two of them discussed the meeting place with Brother Tiaozi and walked towards the dog village.

As a novice village during the closed beta period, the average popularity of Gouzi is probably higher than that of players.

Therefore, even though the place has been expanded to the size of a medieval town under Ji Ming's design, it is still overcrowded and lively.

"Samoyed, I really like you, mua, I want to duel with him for you!"

"Please take photos with Chimis in an orderly manner. You are not allowed to touch the dog's head!"

"Brother Bian Mu's spear is really not for sale... Hey, it seems I can't get the [-]% discount!"

Passing through a group of orc players trying to blend in, they arrived at the central square that was completely different.

Under a magic streetlight next to the sign, there was a man leaning against it.

Although he was leaning on him, his focus was actually on his feet. His leg muscles were tense, as stable and firm as the roots of an old tree.

Although he was wearing linen clothing that was common to novices, his muscular body lines and the attire of tunic tucked into trousers gave him a military-like stiffness and toughness.

Therefore, his appearance is also quite attractive, just like Fu Le. This has nothing to do with appearance, but a unique temperament that has been naturally formed after being tempered by years.

If it were someone else, they would probably only consider approaching him to strike up a conversation, just like the female player who is chatting with him now.

But Ji Ming noticed that his eyes were always focused on the surrounding environment, checking every corner quietly.

His eyes were as sharp as a sniper!
——This is not a policeman, this is clearly a soldier!

Therefore, he observed him for a long time without daring to come forward. He didn't go over to recognize him until the other party noticed him.

"Brother Tiaozi?"

The man frowned, then his eyes were equally surprised.

"You...are you Crooked Tree and Aurora?"

Then they looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long time, Canglang broke the silence first.

"I thought you guys were fat guys, how come you look like this?"

"I won't talk about Aurora, Crooked Tree, especially you. I thought you would be the kind of bald social beast with a sad face. I didn't expect you to look quite...quiet."

...Oh, thank you so much for your adjectives!

Ji Ming also gestured with his hands.

"Actually, your appearance is beyond my imagination. I thought you were just that kind of... Sir, do you understand?"

Canglang lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"Are you talking about the kind of guy who is broad and fat, wears sunglasses, carries a stun gun and a Glock on his waist, likes to go to M's for meals, and accept donut bribes from criminal suspects?"

"……Correct."

"Isn't that just a fat house with a different skin?"

"correct."

"..."

Canglang was silent for a moment, then suddenly grinned.

"When you said that, I suddenly remembered the time when we got together to talk about the new book. I thought it was a meeting at the fat house, but I didn't expect that you all look so cute."

Ji Ming recalled his overtime work career in the past few days.

"What's wrong with showing off? I'm really a social animal..."

The two chatted for a while, and Cang Lang stopped smiling and looked confused.

"By the way, we've just been chatting. Why doesn't Aurora say anything?"

Ji Ming turned his head and glanced.Realizing that Bai Yesheng was pretending to be dead, he quickly lowered his voice.

"Hey, no, why are you so panicked when you meet your friends?"

"Uh-huh, I don't know, what should I say now?"

Ji Ming could only sigh.

"Forget it, just ignore her. This child has been rude since she was a child."

I don't know whether it was because he had a particularly strong ability to observe people's emotions, or because the other party was really informal, so Canglang turned the story over.

"By the way, you all happen to be closed beta players. Take me to that actual training camp and let me experience the thrill of spawning monsters!"

"Okay, no problem. Let's go. Remember to buy the novice equipment in the mall."

After leaving the increasingly lively dog ​​village, the three of them walked all the way south.

Beyond the junction where the players and the goblin army fought guerrilla warfare, there are several huge buildings rising from the ground on the vast flat area.

As a shooting range for players to practice their skills, Ji Ming made a fuss about the three dimensions of the number of wild monsters, the level of wild monsters, and the terrain, and distinguished numerous difficulties.

The easiest one is the five violent goblins on the ground, which a complete novice can brush alone, while the most difficult one is the ten violent ogres on the ground. You have to kneel even if you let the spearmen come.

Combat is an important part of the game, so countless players with itchy hands have already experienced it here.

But it's obvious that most of them are newcomers from the closed beta test. After all, you can tell just by listening to the cries inside.

"Hey, goblin, stay away from me! Hey, I don't want to be chewed out!"

"Damn, I will never be a keyboard warrior again. Is it really so difficult to use a knife in the game?"

"Oh my God! Why should I lead you bunch of noobs? We will all die at the hands of the kobolds!"

Cang Lang walked through several warehouses with a calm expression, and finally stopped in one of them.

"Twenty goblins and ten kobolds, can the three of us defeat them?"

Ji Ming said it very coolly.

"As long as Brother Tiaozi works hard, a hundred will do!"

"no problem!"

The closed door opened automatically, and the three people stepped inside.

The terrain here is not complex, but it is not simple either. Wooden boxes and sandbags are piled up together, forming countless bunkers and ambush points.

"Brother Tiaozi, although you must know, I still want to remind you that when you see wild monsters, you must stay calm at all times. If you panic, you will lose!"

"I understand, buddy, when we are training for a martial arts competition, the most important thing is to listen to advice!"

Based on the valuable experience gained during the closed beta period, it seems that there are many weapons for beginners, but in fact, there are only two types of weapons that can be used.

If you are a lone wolf player, use short soldiers and shields.

The lower limit of this combination is relatively high. Although the attack is insufficient, the defense is sufficient, which can effectively prevent novice players from being unable to block when they are in a hurry.

If you are a team player, just buy the long gun.

A group of people stand together with guns raised, the blades are as sharp as a forest, and the cold light is as cold as rain. The morale bonus and fighting enthusiasm they can bring are definitely not the slightest.

So after saying this, he took out a set of swords and shields.

Looking at the start prompt that appeared in front of them, the three of them chose OK.

Ji Ming also took out his signature long-handled shovel and motioned Bai Yesheng to step back.

"Watch your own butt later, and I won't ask you to hit anyone, just don't hit us!"

The anger suddenly broke through the mental barrier, and Bai Yesheng cursed lowly.

"Damn it, you look down on me, don't you!?"

"Just kidding, just get ready to see me perform."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a strong wind blowing, and the wolf beside him disappeared without knowing when.

Then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Ji Ming took a closer look and realized that he had already reached a violent goblin.

As powerful as a tiger, he pulled back his arm to gather strength, and in just one move, he knocked the opponent unconscious with the side edge of his shield.

"Damn it, I finally know why you can endure not talking in the group for half a month!"

While holding the sword in his other hand to touch up, Canglang turned around with an excited smile on his face.

"Man, this game is really fun."
