Starting from Zero

Volume 20, Chapter 144, Leaving Japan

"I rely on, don't let him come up!"

Originally, if only the spaceship was seen by the Japanese, it would be nothing at worst. Even if it loses the deterrent effect of the spaceship that suddenly appears in front of the enemy, it will not affect the battle. But the problem is that we are now in a blockade arranged by Masaga Matsumoto, and if Japanese players rushed up to see our spaceship, what do you think Japanese players would think?

Of course, Masaga Matsumoto knew that Japanese players could not be brought up, so he immediately turned around and rushed down the mountain as soon as he heard the report from the following people, and at the same time, he shouted for us to hurry up, but he ran out. I was grabbed by me within two steps. Masaga Matsumoto looked back at me in confusion and wondered what I was doing.

Seeing Matsumoto Masaka’s eyes, I explained: “It’s useless for you to rush down like this. After a while, those people rush up like this. Do you say you stop or don’t? The image of your player in mind in Japan is worse if you don’t stop it. When you see the existence of spaceship, it’s even more difficult to explain between us."

"What should I do? You can’t let them rush by themselves. Come up?"

"Of course you can't let them rush up, but you definitely can't do it alone."

"Do you mean...?"

< p>"We are like this."

——Shanxia——

"Those who dare to stand in the way will be killed." A sturdy man is facing the group below him People yelled, and at this time, the group was surrounded by a large circle of Japanese ninjas. From their uniform costumes and badges, you can see that these ninjas are all members of the new Black Dragon Society of Masaka Matsumoto.

In fact, the group of people who are confronting the ninja are the people who were reported by Masaka Matsumoto's breakthrough and defended, but they are now surrounded.

After all, Masaka Matsumoto is not a sloppy hero like Nobunaga Onishou. In reality, Masaga Matsumoto himself has received a good education, and his cultural level is far from comparable to Nobunaga Onishou. In terms of the arrangement of things, he has done more than Guishou Nobunaga. Like the cordon of this organization, although with the reputation of the new Black Dragon Association, no one would rush to their defenses, but Masaga Matsumoto still anticipated various situations that might happen. As a result, this envisioned setting is now working.

Because Matsumoto Masaka expected that if someone can break through the line of defense, the opponent must be a faster and more powerful person. Therefore, it is meaningless to arrange a few lines of defense after the line of defense. To deal with this What people need is not a powerful warrior with battle strength, but a person with good speed, so Masaga Matsumoto prepared a large group of high-level ninjas as a firefighting team. Now the facts have proved that Matsumoto's arrangement is very correct. Those people ran all the way up the mountain after breaking through the front line of defense. As a result, they were surrounded by the ninjas in front of them before they could run far. .

On battle strength These ninjas are simply not their opponents, but because the ninjas are too fast and their attack power is high, they can’t completely ignore the ninja’s attacks, but they want to counterattack and can’t beat each other. , Can only be held here alive by the other party and cannot move forward.

Seeing that a group of people on his side was surrounded by the opponent's ninjas for ten minutes and was uneasy, the leader finally couldn't help but explode. Although the blockade of the new Black Dragon Association was forced to break through, the opponent actually maintained restraint. They kept their strength when attacking, only seeking to knock down but not hurting others, but now he is a True Fire, so he did it again. Regardless of the question of whether to keep his hands or not, he directly used the big move.

The profession of ninja is the extreme Dao Transformation road. Use extreme speed and extreme attack power to achieve extreme battle strength. Because of this, ninjas are notoriously thin-skinned and have little blood. For this kind of profession, the powerful profession's ult can definitely drop a piece in a second, so the ninjas immediately began to back away when they saw that the opponent was preparing for the ult, but even so, they still underestimated the coverage of the opponent's ult. , There were two slow retreat ninjas just in the peripheral zone of the opponent's attack range, but the guy came down with a big move and directly flew the two ninjas out.

There are two ninjas missing here, and the other ninjas are afraid to return quickly because they are afraid of each other's attack power. At this time, a gap immediately appeared around the group of people. The leader who had just finished his big move saw that there was a weak spot and immediately greeted his men to rush up, but this time the deadlock was broken and they rushed out of the encirclement and ran up the mountain.

Originally at the speed of a ninja, even if they ran out, it was easy to catch up. However, before the group of ninjas could relax, there was a sudden one after another explosion from the mountain, and as the sound continued to explode, it seemed to be gradually approaching here.

"What's the matter?" One of the group of players who just ran out of the encirclement ran to the hunk and asked with some confusion: "Could it be that anyone besides us also broke through the blockade? "

A female player next to him said: "It doesn't sound like that. This movement is not something ordinary players can make."

A small player frowned behind: "It sounds like it's coming towards us."

The muscular man thought for a while and waved his hand sharply: "No matter what he is, we can just rush up."

Since Captain had spoken, the others had no choice but to do so, but before they could run, there was a sudden violent explosion from the mountain, which was different from any previous one. Following them, they saw a beam of light composition. The long sword soared into the sky, and then suddenly moved towards the direction where they were.

"I rely on it, it is the ultimate Profound Truth of Masaka Matsumoto-the glorious world! Everyone flashes!"

When the shouts were heard, the people in the team immediately followed Like a mouse, they rushed out to the sides, but before they were completely out of the attack range, the lightsaber had already smashed down. Just listening to a bang, the place where they stood before the crowd turned into a flame tunnel, and the blast generated by the explosion blasted everyone out in an instant. The muscular man just used his big move to take off two ninjas. Didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly, and he became himself more than the ninja in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the explosion ended, the players who fell battered and exhausted struggled to get up. One of them vomited the weeds and dirt in his mouth and couldn’t help complaining: “It’s not just rushing Have you crossed the blockade? As for entertaining us with this big trick?"

The player hasn't heard the voice yet, but a female player next to him is frowned and said: "No, that trick is not rushing We are here!"

"Huh?" The player wanted to hear an explanation, but soon he realized that there was no need to explain at all, because he saw the front when he was about to ask. Suddenly a purple black flame burst out on the hillside, instantly burning the woodland on the hillside into a straight path, but before the flame was over, they saw a silhouette wrapped in a white aperture, tumbling from the flame Flew past the passage, and less than a second after the person flew past, another silhouette that almost frightened them was dragging a hideous long sword backwards at a moderate pace. He flew slowly from a place less than ten meters away in front of them, without even looking at them during the period. It wasn't until the person flew over that they jumped up from the ground and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's Purple Moon!"

Yes, in fact, the person who just rolled over is Masaga Matsumoto, and The Great Demon King look at the back is naturally me. This is the plan I just told Matsumoto Masaga. If Masaga Matsumoto had just come down to stop these people, he would have put himself on the opposite side of the Japanese players, so no matter how he handles it, his reputation will eventually be damaged. It is just a matter of the degree of damage. However, if this wicked person lets me do it, it will be fine. Anyway, I am now considered as a super Great Demon King Level 1 in Japan, and it doesn’t matter if my reputation is a bit bad. On the contrary, after Masaka Matsumoto doesn't need to be a villain, the reason for blocking here is easy to explain, as long as he doesn't want ordinary players to be attacked by me, and it can in turn enhance his positive image in the hearts of Japanese players.

"Matsumoto Masaka, don’t waste your effort. I just got a new attribute recently. You are impossible to defeat me." After the group of people caught up, I immediately and Masaga Matsumoto began to perform according to the preset routine.

Matsumoto Masaka, lying on the ground, stood up while pretending to vomit blood while supporting him, and then looked at me said with a sneer: "It's just a miss, don't be too proud. Just now. Isn’t the big move extremely laborious to use?"

"What do you mean by that?" I pretended to be surprised, and then suddenly angrily roared after a pause: "You treat me What did you do?"

Masika Matsumoto wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with pride: "Nothing, just show you my new ability. Now your magic power will use very fast speed. It keeps consuming, and as long as you can't kill me or get out of the battle, this mana burning effect will not end. Hehe, Purple Moon, I want to see if you without mana are not my opponent."

"hmph, you are lucky today, next time we will divide up." After listening to Matsumoto's words, I started to follow the usual style of the bad guys in the movie when they run away, first drop a few ruthless words, and then turn around Just run.

When the people over there saw that I was going to run, and the previous dialogue, they immediately realized that they should hold me back, but as soon as they rushed out, they heard Matsumoto Masaka shouting: "Don’t go there. , You can't support him!"

Though those people heard Matsumoto's words, it was too late to react. At such a short distance, one second is enough for me. The female ninja player who rushed to the forefront was cut into two pieces by my sword with a weapon just after a pause. After that, without waiting for others to respond, I was a few sword glow threw away, and immediately killed a few more. In the end, the muscular man saw that the people around him died in the blink of an eye and he was left alone. In a panic, he also forgot that my weapon could not be stopped at all. He wanted to carry the heavy sword that crossed him, but was cut off by me with a single sword. After cutting off the blade, he cut off his left shoulder again. In the severe pain, the guy could only give up resisting gritted teeth and rolled to the side, but before he could roll out two laps, my sword suddenly fell apart and became a long whip full of barbs, and then followed me. With a trembling of his wrist, the whip suddenly stood up and rushed towards his throat as if it had come to life.

The guy was stunned and quickly grabbed with the only hand left. As a result, didn’t expect Eternity even if it became a whip, it still had the cutting rule, so his hand didn’t do anything at all. The effect was passed through, followed by the whiplash, directly piercing his eye sockets into his brain under his shocked eyes, and then the whiplash suddenly opened like an explosion, cutting his head into dozens of pieces. Thin slices like sliced ​​watermelon, then suddenly gathered and dragged back by me.

After easily killing this group of people, I shook the whip to shake off the blood drops, then turned and flew back to the side of the valley within the valley. Masaga Matsumoto also chased up at high speed behind to continue the performance. After all, players will not really die, even if they are killed in the game, they will become soul forms, so even if we kill these people, we can't stop the performance right away. It's better to do a full set of drama, I don't want to fall short.

When we return to the gorge within the valley, the front half of the spaceship has already left the narrowest section of the gorge. Although the remaining tail section of the boat is still in the gorge, it is because it is the widest. The part has passed, so the problem is not big anymore.

Matsumoto Masaka looked at the spaceship that was gradually leaving the spaceship and turned his head and said to me: "President, please go first, let me take care of it here."

I nodded reminded: "It is best to clean up all the scratches left by the spaceship on the cliff, otherwise, if a professional sees it, they may find that it is not a trace of the battle."

Masho Matsumoto He nodded and said: "After you leave, I will use a big move to destroy the surrounding mountains again. I shouldn't see anything."

"Anyway, you can control it yourself. This spaceship It’s still a semifinished product. I haven’t installed a lot of things yet, so I won’t wait for you here. You should also pay attention to this about the Russian fleet, and bring both fleets to one place as soon as possible."

Matsumoto Zhenghe thought for a while and wanted to ask: "Which fleet is currently on standby in Isengard in the meeting?"

"It's the fourth fleet. Why? Is there a problem?"

< p>"No, I'm afraid that if the Third Fleet is at home, it might not be able to control the emotions of the sailors. After all, many ships on our side are drawn from the Third Fleet, and the people on their side don’t know about us. Suddenly seeing their own ship in service on our side, I’m afraid they will think of something."

"Don’t worry about this. The ship has been modified before you give it to you, even if it’s the third The people in the fleet may not recognize them. The only people who can recognize these ships are the workers at the shipyard, but they are not the navy. It is impossible to see these ships at sea."

Matsumoto Masaga nodded and said: "I'm just afraid of accidents. Since it's not the Third Fleet, it doesn't matter if they know each other."

I nodded affirmed Matsumoto Masaga’s serious attitude, and then We said hello to Masaka Matsumoto and turned to chase spaceship.

The speed of the spaceship through the narrow section is obviously increasing. When I catch up with the spaceship, the hull is almost completely out of the canyon. When I walked into the bridge, I heard the captain shouting there: "Accelerate to fifteen, pay attention to maintaining the course, and speed up to thirty after the hull passes through the canyon."

"Don’t be so careful. There is an open area in front. Just add it to fifty, and we rushed over."

After hearing what I said, the captain hesitated a bit and felt that there was indeed no need to be so careful, so he directly ordered an increase in speed. It's fifty. Because of the increase in speed, the hull quickly passed the narrowest passage, and then the captain saw that the distance between the two sides was gradually increasing, and asked the crew to increase the speed to one hundred in one breath.

Although the speed of one hundred kilometers per hour is actually quite fast, because the spaceship is too large, there is no sense of speed at all standing in the bridge, but the captains are all professionals. So even though they felt the speed was not fast, they did not accelerate further.

After passing this valley, there is an open flat woodland in front of you. However, because of the large area, it is a complex monster area, so you don’t have to worry too much about being seen. The trees in the place are too lush, even if you can occasionally see the sky, only a palm-sized piece is left, so there is basically no possibility of seeing the spaceship in the sky.

Because there were no obstacles over the woodland, we simply increased the speed to 300 in one breath, and we left the forest in less than 20 minutes at this speed.

According to Masaka Matsumoto’s introduction, there is a road outside the woodland, and it belongs to the kind of traffic with a lot of people. However, Masaka Matsumoto has already blocked the intersection on both sides in advance and will be on the road we are going to pass. That section is temporarily closed.

With no one in this section of the road, we further accelerated the speed of spaceship to three hundred and five, and then in the blink of an eye we passed through the road without trees blocking the sky. After the spaceship passed, the player who stood in the middle of the road and was responsible for blocking this section of the road, the player we had sent to Matsumoto Masaga to help, ordered his subordinates to completely block the line. Although the Japanese players who were intercepted were very puzzled about what the new Black Dragon was going to do if the new Black Dragon suddenly blocked the road for more than ten minutes, because the spaceship passed from the sky without leaving any traces at all, these people were puzzled. Nothing was found outside.

"How long will it take for us to return to the surface of the sea at this speed?" Hong Yue turned to ask the captain as he looked at the forest sea flying by below.

The shipyard took a look at the dedicated magic map display platform, and then calculated for a while before saying: "If there are no accidents ahead, we will be back on the sea in two hours."

The crewman next to the engine manipulating the engine heard this data and asked the captain: "Our energy seems to be lower than expected, can we speed it up?"

The captain originally wanted to agree, but think about starting the mirage system in case of trouble, so he didn't dare to calculate the energy just right, so he could only reject the proposal, otherwise the energy would be advanced. When the time comes, I can’t even cry when the time comes.

Although the captain refused the request to speed up again, he did not slow down again. The speed of 350 can be said to be quite fast. We almost passed a lot of no man’s land as fast as lightning, and finally reached the coastline more than 20 minutes earlier than expected.

Across the coastline is the Sea Territory on the side of Japan facing China. Of course, there are also Japanese boat activities here, but Masaga Matsumoto also arranged patrol boats to temporarily blockade our route within the distance that we may see us. All areas. Thanks to this blockade, we passed through Japanese territorial waters and entered Chinese territorial waters smoothly.

According to the original plan, we should have detoured Japan Island from the north side of Honshu Island, and then drove directly to Isengard to supplement energy, but now we have entered directly through the land route of Honshu Island. On the other side of the Sea Territory, our current location is deviated from the originally planned route. Because of this deviation, we don't seem to need to wait for Isinger to replenish it.

"Let’s go to Misty Island first." The captain clicked Misty Island after looking at the chart for a while.

Hong Yue also agreed after scanning the nautical chart. As for me, I just nodded. Unlike Hong Yue, I am very familiar with Misty Island. After all, I got that place, and since it became the territory of our guild, this island that happened to be located in the sea between China and Japan has completely become We attacked Japan’s forward base. When our guild invaded Japan on a large scale, in addition to the valuable items transported by Transmission Formation, most of the commonly used consumables were transported here by ships. Therefore, Misty Island is a very important strategy for us. Support point. Even if Japan is now in our hands as a puppet, it still hasn't lost its value here. After all, it is not so easy for Masaka Matsumoto to be the sole leader in Japan. We need to get some special supplies for Masaka Matsumoto so that he can use a cheat device to compete with other Japanese guilds for the first guild in Japan. s position.

Because the Misty Island has such an important strategic value, not only does it have a complete port and storage system, but it also has the second largest logistics reserve base for the bank besides the first-tier combat cities. The number of spare magic crystals stored here is almost one-sixth of Isinger's. If all these magic crystals are given to a guild, the guild will not need to buy magic crystals for at least one year.

Since we all agreed to go to Misty Island first, the crew immediately started steering the spaceship to Misty Island. Because Misty Island was much closer than Isengard and now it was out of the Japanese-controlled area, the captain also relaxed and directly ordered the speed to be increased to five hundred. Although the energy consumption is exaggerated, there will be supplies immediately anyway, so we don't care about this consumption.

Because there is no reference object on the sea, apart from the feeling of pushing back at the moment of speeding up, as long as you don't get out of the cabin, you simply cannot feel the current speed of the spaceship. But I don't like staying in the cabin, so this will blow on the dragon head of the dragon cannon I'm standing on the bow of the ship.

"It's strange otherwise the protagonist in the movie is always used to standing on the bow of the ship and facing the sea breeze. It feels so cool." Hong Yue this girl and the lady are obviously not in touch. She just saw me out of the cabin before. After following up, she saw me climbing on the gun barrel on the bow and standing, she stood on another gun barrel, and this crazy girl was even better than me. I was just standing in the middle and back section of the dragon's head, holding the dragon horn in my hand, but she stood directly on the tip of the dragon's nose, and she spread out her hands in a shape embracing the world.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of falling?"

"Are you thinking I just entered the game?" Hong Yue turned his head and looked at me before saying, suddenly:" By the way, Purple Moon, I have been asking you some time ago, but I have never had time."

"What do you want to ask?"

"That's it." Hong Yue Congfeng Long Space grabbed the root scroll and held it in his hand, saying, "This is the branch mission scroll that our guild got before doing the national mission. So Mei asked me if you would take this mission."

"What do you mean?" I know the national mission, because I applied for it personally. It may be that the design was not thoughtful before. When the game was initialized, it was hoped that each country could become a unified whole, that is to say, a country and a guild, except for guild members, there are only a few free players left. Two guilds exist. However, the actual development of various countries illustrates a problem, that is, it is not a simple matter to unify one after another country. Not only China, but also the United States, Russia, and European countries are equally difficult to truly unify. Simply few countries can achieve complete unification according to the initial setting of the system. Therefore, system felt that this continued as if it could not wait for the emergence of a unified country, so system changed the rules of the game, that is, added a new concept called the ruling guild. This is like a political party in reality.

Parties such as the Democratic Party and Republican Party in the United States can be understood as guilds. In the game, these guilds are set up as parties, and as long as the strength of the guild reaches a certain standard line, the guild is eligible to participate in the competition for the ruling guild.

Once you become a ruling guild, you can get many privileges granted by the system. The first thing in Shou County is that all free NPCs in the country will become the leaders of this guild, which means that you have given you a lot of labor that can be commanded. Of course, for the normal operation of the country, you can't mobilize all these free NPCs, but even if you don't mobilize all of them, as long as you can use 10 or 20% of them, it is already a huge force. You must know that although the strength of free NPCs is almost zero, their number is dozens of times that of players. This huge base means that what they can do is absolutely unimaginable.

Of course, the advantage of the ruling guild is not just that it can command free NPCs. There are also a series of benefits behind, all of which are very attractive, so every guild is very interested in it.

Adhering to the consistent style of system, high risk and high return. Although the benefits of the ruling guild are terrible, but the method of obtaining it is also terrible. The first one is to obtain enough war value, and this war value cannot be obtained by the civil war, that is to say, if you want to obtain this war value, you must Foreign operations.

Fortunately, our guild has had large-scale conflicts with players’ guilds in many countries before, especially the war between Japan and Russia, which gave our guild a lot of war value. However, I didn't pay much attention to this matter after I applied for the qualification of the ruling guild. I didn't expect that Hong Yue suddenly gave me a branch without scrolls, which made me a bit inexplicable.

As a result, the scroll was opened and I took a look. I immediately understood what Hong Yue meant. After all, the scroll was very detailed. According to the introduction on the scroll, a guild can apply to become a ruling guild only if the four basic attributes of the guild reputation, the number of the guild, the total assets of the guild, and the total battle strength of the guild meet the basic requirements set by the system. If any of these four items fails to meet the standards, even if the other three items are the highest, he will not be eligible to apply for the title of the ruling guild.

After meeting the requirements, the second setting of system is to see your enthusiasm. The system does not force any guild to be the ruling guild, even if you meet the standard, as long as you do not apply, the system will not include you in the calculation scope.

Because I applied for this ruling guild place before, the Frost Rose League also met the system requirements. However, system is not so simple to make you a ruling guild. After you have reached the first two, you need to complete the third test.

The third test Hong Yue just gave me is the third test, but this test has a certain degree of freedom, that is, the system does not force us to do which task, but gives us three solutions for us to choose. .

Hong Yue and Rose have seen three choices before, and the final decision proposed by So Mi is the scroll in my hand, which is the third choice among the three tasks.

The difficulty of the three task choices given by system is actually the same. The choice is nothing more than finding a project that you are best at. The first of the three missions we got was a guild team battle mission. The content was that the guild entered a special map, and then defeated a country there and completely occupied it for ten days. After ten days, as long as the country did not take it back Any city, then count as passing.

The difficulty of this task can be said to be relatively low, because we checked the detailed information in the task scroll, the area of ​​this country is actually very small, and there are only 27 cities in total. Our strength can definitely win. However, the trouble came out.

Special missions don’t mean that others have to freeze and wait for you while you are doing the missions. In fact, during the time when we take the missions, the surrounding game main map will still develop in a normal state, that is Said that the enemy can still conduct guild wars against our guilds, but all of our people cannot get out of the mission. What do you say when the time comes our guild city? Ten days is enough time for a lot of things to happen, so we don't dare to take the first task at all. Even if that task is won, the outside city probably won't be able to keep it. If you don’t believe me, you can imagine the reality of the world. If all of the American troops and weapons suddenly disappear in an instant, they will reappear in ten days. You can see what will happen to the United States. Especially when the enemy knows that these weapons will not return until ten days later, it is even more serious.

When we do the task of the ruling guild, the system will notify the whole country, so the secret room is impossible, and once other bad-hearted guilds know that our guild players will not come back within ten days, you say they What will it do? I don't dare to bet anyway.

Get rid of the first task, and the remaining second task is slightly better, but it is also very cheating.

The second task is still the whole guild participating in the battle, but instead of opening another map, it will fight against other guilds in the game. Once we accept this task, the system will issue an announcement to the whole world, inviting all the guilds of the whole world to attack us together. The time is still ten days. In these ten days, all the enemies killed by our guild will not lose their ranks, will not lose EXP, and will not explode their equipment, but they will be eligible for permanent participation in combat after being killed three times in a row. In addition, in these ten days, all the medicines and disposable supplies consumed by the players during the attack on our guild will be compensated by the system one at a time after ten days. That is to say, they will be free of death penalty for these ten days of war with us. And all the fighting expenses are reimbursed by the system. However, under the premise that the consumption and punishment are not counted, the equipment they get by killing our guild players or NPCs belongs to them, and the EXP they got from killing us will also be retained. In this way, attacking us within these ten days has become a zero-risk and high-return. Even if some people worry about our retaliation afterwards, it is estimated that many people will still participate, and those guilds who originally had enemies with us will not. Will miss such a good opportunity.

Our Frost Rose League is certainly powerful, but it is a bit too arrogant to challenge the whole world like this, and the most troublesome thing for us is that we will not be reimbursed for the loss of the system in these ten days, which means dead people. It's really dead, the experience is taken away, the equipment is exploded, and the consumables are not replenished. If you use it, you will use it, all you have to pay for yourself.

This kind of clarified thankless task is impossible for anyone to pick up, so of course we just gave it up. So, in fact, the only one we can choose is this third one.

I looked at the scrolls and finally found the content of the third article, and after reading it again, I immediately agreed with So-Me’s decision, because compared to the previous two missions that were not worthy of their lives, This third task is at least normal.

The content of the third task is to enter the independent task space like the first task, but it is better than the first task, this task can choose the number of people, and at least only twelve Individuals are fine, and a maximum of 24 people are allowed to participate.

Regarding the candidate for the task, system gives two requirements. The first requirement is to directly designate the positive Vice-President and the financial director of the guild, that is, Hong Yue, Eagle and Rose and I must participate. The remaining quota system
