Starting from Zero

Although Rose knew about my battle strength, I came here to investigate the situation this time, and suddenly informed her that she had occupied a city for her to send someone to receive it. It was a little unexpected. Fortunately, after a brief explanation, Rose understood why I wanted to occupy this place.

Actually, there are multiple considerations for the occupation and occupation of this city. On the one hand, it is naturally because the situation in South Korea is obviously chaotic. We need our guild to intervene. Therefore, we need a front-line supply station. It's still a little far from here. If the player has a long spear, the traveling speed is acceptable, but the problem is that the NPC can't. Moreover, the transportation of war materials back and forth is also a hassle. Because of these nasty problems, the forward base has become a necessary existence.

Is this the second... In fact, or for is a good thing. This city is now controlled by a low-level guild, which is equivalent to a child holding a diamond the size of a duck egg. The so-called an innocent man treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime. This guild did not have enough strength but bought a fortified island located at the intersection of the sea lanes of the three countries. What is this concept? If you don't have the strength, you hide yourself aside, and naturally no one will trouble you, but not only did you jump out, but you were also nailed to the battleground. Didn't you say that this is not for hunting? To be honest, even if I don't come to grab this island, this place will definitely not be held in the hands of this guild for long after all. After all, this place is too memorable, and anyone who has ever been here will notice it.

As for my third consideration, this is mainly the expansion plan arranged by Masaga Matsumoto in the future.

Before, we worked out an expansion plan with Masaga Matsumoto, which is to guide the Japanese players’ desire to fight north, so that they don’t always stare at the Chinese continent and guide their battle strength to In South Korea, let the Japanese players occupy South Korea, and then go all the way north to find the troubles of the Russians. In this way, the battle strength of the Japanese players has a catharsis, and Masaka Matsumoto's so-called curve to save the country plan has also been confirmed, which can be said to serve multiple purposes. Of course, the more important thing is that from now on, Russian players will not be able to trouble us wholeheartedly. After all, there is a glare like a tiger watching his prey next to Japan who needs to beware.

Of course, the above is about long-term benefits. As far as the third reason for occupying this city this time, my purpose is to arrange a tangible and tangible goal for Matsumoto Masaka.

Although Masaga Matsumoto told the Japanese players that the direction of the battle was turned to South Korea to temporarily accumulate power for Japan’s future, and not to meet force with force with us, but in the final analysis this is still a drawing on paper. Flatbread. Some high-level members of the Japanese guild do believe in this pie of Matsumoto Masaka, because their vision is more long-term and can see the temptation of this pie, but relatively speaking, ordinary Japanese players can’t completely Understand the significance of this strategy. Although these players had to follow this plan because the guild leaders of their respective guilds agreed with this plan, this is not a long-term solution after all. If none of these low-level players agree with this plan, and relying on the orders of these high-level players to forcefully reverse their behavior, over time will inevitably produce resistance and even trigger rebellion. Therefore, the mass foundation is a very important thing in any country.

I occupied this island to allow Masaga Matsumoto to win the hearts of those Japanese players. You asked Masaga Matsumoto to talk to the Japanese players at the bottom of the big strategy, which people don't understand at all. Besides, can this kind of strategic level be promoted everywhere? So Masaga Matsumoto and the others can neither explain nor explain clearly. Then the easiest way is not to explain, and directly take out what ordinary players can understand at a glance, so that the most simple and effective way to conquer the hearts of the bottom players.

Now this island is such a thing. According to my plan, we will now begin to intervene in Korean affairs, and this island will serve as our forward base, and after we complete the adjustment of the Korean power, Matsumoto can bring Japanese players to attack this island. No matter where the island is, it is something of our Frost Rose League. Masaka Matsumoto allows Japanese players to attack this island and can prove to the guild leaders: "Look, we are destroying the Frost Rose League’s Korean War Zone. Action.” As for the Japanese players at the bottom, they are indeed fighting our Frost Rose League, so they can realize that they are rebelling against our Frost Rose League, and they will think that Matsumoto Masaga is indeed leading them. Moving forward on the road to confront China will not produce any resistance, but will increase Matsumoto's prestige.

So, the occupation of this island is of great significance. Even if I don't take it down today, I will definitely need someone from the guild to take it back. But since I'm here, there is no need to be so troublesome, and getting this island smoothly saves a lot of trouble.

Although the occupation of a large city requires a lot of people to get it done, the initial occupation will definitely not require many people. Rose also knew that I couldn't stay here for a long time, so she sent some people to replace me first. Anyway, the city has been suppressed, and the rest is just to watch the city do not cause any troubles, and it doesn't need much battle strength.

After the people who came to handover arrived, I simply gave a few words and left the city, because while waiting for them to come, I had already asked Tianji from several players in the city who were willing to compromise. The situation of the League.

The current Celestial Alliance has been driven to the mountains like the president of the Promise Club said, but the specific location is not clear. It is said that because they were relatively strong in Korea before, they offended many people. Now that the guild is struggling, there are naturally many people who want to take the opportunity to take revenge. It is estimated that Park Yin also knew this situation, so he gave up even those major transportation towns with better incomes and moved decisively into the deep mountains and old forests. Although the income of cities in such places is meager, it is also because of the low flow of people and low income, it is not easy to attract the attention of enemies.

The news I heard from players who are willing to compromise is the specific location of the mountainous area where the Celestial Alliance is located, but I don’t know where the specific city is in the mountain. But I think this can be inquired slowly after going to the place. The other party is the relocation of the entire guild, so many people and so many things, impossible to be silent, just ask the nearby NPC, it is not difficult to find them.

After riding the bird flying in the sky soon, I put the bird away and replaced it with Night Shadow. Although the bird's speed is very fast, it is because he is too fast, so it can't be used to find things. The things on the ground can almost be said to pass by the bird's speed. Although that city should be easier to find, it is a mountain city after all. If it is blocked by mountains or trees, it will be troublesome. So I finally chose to give up the speed of the flying bird and use the night shadow instead.

Although Ye Ying’s flight speed is not as good as that of Asuka, his speed is actually not slow, but he can’t fly at supersonic speeds. After riding the night shadow to the mountain area, I first found a small village. From the sky, this should be the only way to enter the mountain, because the roads on the mountain seem to converge here.

After landing outside the village, I rode the night shadow into the village. There are not many players here. I only came across one player who came out of the village all the way from the outside, and there were not many players in the village. I saw a large number of players here that proves that their enemies have come to the door, and now this can only mean that the opponent hasn't found it or is not planning to trouble the Celestial Alliance.

The players who can mix in such a down-and-out small village are of course impossible. In fact, players in such small deserted places are players who don’t pay much attention to leveling. Of course, it’s not ruled out. Occasionally some stay in this place for special reasons. But under normal circumstances, most of the players in this place are easier-going than the players in the big cities. After all, most of the people who like this place like the quiet environment here, and those who like the quiet environment naturally have a good temper. .

"Excuse me, has anyone seen someone from the Celestial Alliance around here?" Because the village is very small, I didn't ask someone alone to inquire, but stood at the crossroad in the middle of the village loudly shouted. There are only two roads in this village, and the intersection is where they meet. Because this is the most crowded place in the village, my voice immediately attracted the attention of many people around me. Of course, this so-called many people actually add one piece to less than 20 people, and only five or six of them are players, and most of them are NPCs.

As I shouted, an old man who seemed to be at least sixty years old suddenly asked: "Are you here to avenge them?"

I looked up and down He took a look at the old man, and then jumped from the back of Ye Ying. In any case, it is impolite to talk to others on horseback. If it is an enemy, it is just a passerby, and at such an age, it is natural not to be too rude.

"Hello, I’m a friend of President Park Eun, and I’m not here to cause trouble. Do you know where they are? I know they are in the nearby mountains, but I don’t know where they are!"

"Are you a friend of President Park Eun?" The old man looked at me up and down, obviously not convinced, and then asked, "How do you prove that you are not here for trouble?"

"This...If I came to trouble you, do you think I would talk to you so politely? I should have kicked you down and stepped on your chest to ask them where they are. Right?"

The old man thought for a while but shook his head: "Even if you come to ask for trouble, you won't be so rude to me. After all, I am an elder!"

Korean etiquette is similar to Japanese etiquette, inherited from ancient Chinese etiquette, but at the later stage we have lost a lot of etiquette, but Koreans and Japanese retain quite intact-despite the development Slightly out of shape.

I thought about Korean etiquette. It’s really rude to do things to the elderly, so what the old man said is true, but it’s difficult for him to prove me. . How can this friend prove it? Marriage certificates can also be issued between husband and wife, but friends have never heard of this thing?

"Then what... You asked me to prove that I can't prove it. This friend is a friend, how can I prove it?"

The old man also seems to realize that it seems true It’s not easy to prove, but he thought about it for a moment and said: "If you can’t prove it, it’s okay. If you really are a friend of the chairman, just wait here for a while. I have a way to know if you are a friend of the chairman."

"How long does it take to wait?"

"Just a few minutes."

"That's okay, you can prove it quickly."

The old man did not act immediately, but first asked: "What is your name? What is your identity?"

"My name is Purple Moon, the president of the Frost Rose League." I pointed to the three-dimensional logo of the frosty rose on the left chest and said: "You should know this monogram. Only the logo of the president is three-dimensional, the guild management is embossed, and the ordinary members are flat." /p>

The old man was stunned when he heard my name, then looked at me twice, and finally asked, "Can you take off the helmet and let me see your face?"< /p>

When I heard this, I suddenly reacted. When I was flying in the sky before, the air flow was too cold, so I put the mask down. However, because the Dragon Soul suit is too comfortable, the mask also has a visual aid system, so I wear the wine and forget that the mask is in the state of being put down. Now when I hear the other person’s question, I remember that my head is really the same. It's wrapped up. I quickly lifted the mask, then took off the helmet and took off the long hair behind my head. I re-looked towards the old man and said, "Sorry, I forgot it before!"

Some old man I was stunned and stared at me for two seconds before suddenly reacting and said: "No need to prove it, I recognize you. You are the Purple Moon. As expected, it is the same as my son said, more beautiful than my daughter-in-law!"

When I heard the old man, I couldn't help but get a black line on my forehead. What is more beautiful than your wife? Is there such a comparison?

The old man couldn’t hear my heart, and continued: "I really didn’t expect you to come. But I know you, your guild is indeed an ally of the Celestial Alliance, I can take you Go into the mountains."

When it comes to business, I no longer entangled with the old man's words, and said directly: "That's very good, let's go into the mountains quickly. I've been looking here for a long time! "

The old man nodded said: "It can be, but I am afraid not now."

My surprised looking towards the old man asked: "Why?"

< p>The old man pointed to the sky and said: "It's completely dark this day. Now the monster activities in the mountains will be more frequent. We will be attacked when we enter the mountains!"

" Boss above five-six thousand level?"

"Five-six thousand level?" The old man exaggeratedly exclaimed, "There must be such a great monster here, where can we build a village here? The most powerful is a two-thousand-level monster, very difficult to deal with."

"What are you afraid of?"

"A two-thousand-level monster is not worth fearing yet Is it?"

"Is it necessary to be afraid?"

We both stared at each other for a while. After a stalemate, I suddenly raised my hand and a red light flew out of the village. A loud explosion sound came from the mountain road outside, followed by a zhi zhi quack. A dozen giant trees fell neatly in one direction, leaving an open passage.

"This should be okay?"

Seeing the newly opened passage outside the village, the old man was finally willing to take me into the mountain. He was nothing more than worrying about monsters before, but after seeing my casual hit just now, he understood that I was actually much better than monsters, so there was no need to be afraid of monsters.

As we chatted along the way, I realized that this old man is actually not a member of the Celestial Alliance. At least according to the system, he is not a member of the Celestial Alliance. Of course, according to the human condition, he is actually the Celestial Alliance. The people in the alliance just didn't join the meeting.

The old man actually has a son in the Celestial Alliance, and that boy is also an official member of the Celestial Alliance, and after the rebellion of the Celestial Alliance, his son still followed Park Yin and they ran here. . After that, the Celestial Alliance found a deserted city in the mountains and rehabilitated it, and then regained its own guild city, which is currently the only guild city of the Celestial Alliance. However, it may be caused by the previous rebellion. Park Yin and the people under her felt that even hiding in the mountains was not completely safe, so these people decided to set up a similar intersection at the entrance to the mountain after thinking about it. Exist like a sentry post.

Although the sentry post is easy to arrange, it is actually difficult to be discovered, so after thinking about it, I came up with this method. The old man's son pulled his father here to stay permanently, and then acted as a secret whistle by the way. Because old man is not originally a combat player, and there is no guild attribution, it is very normal to live in such a small village. In fact, because the game "Zero" has a sleep assistance system, many elderly people use the game system to assist sleep. After all, this thing does not have side effects like sleeping pills, and this auxiliary system will not harm the human body. In order to enter the game to sleep, these old people naturally have to have an account, and after having an account, they are also impossible to sleep every time they go online, and they always look around and walk around. And because in the game, although the bodies set by these old people are still old people, they are after all game characters, and their physical strength is much better than in reality. In addition, the environment in the game is also better than in reality, so many old people are often in the game. Stationed. They don't fight, but they often travel around and sometimes settle in certain villages and other places for a period of time. There are many old people of this kind in the game, so it is normal to run into one in this village, and no one will doubt it at all. And if someone passes here and shows hostility to the Celestial Alliance, the old man will immediately go offline and tell his son directly in reality, and then his son can tell the Celestial Alliance's people to prepare. This method can be described as impeccable. After all, old man is a non-combat player. As long as he does not leave the village, others cannot influence his decision to log off. After all, non-combat players do not have a combat status determination, unlike normal players fighting. When the status is offline, only consciousness is detached. The body of the game character is still in the game, so they can still be killed and robbed of equipment. Therefore, ordinary players dare not go offline in battle. Non-combat players don’t worry about this. You won't lose much if you kill it.

Of course, this does not mean that non-combat players can use their special identities to interfere with the normal combat of combat players. System still has restrictions on this. If you deliberately rely on yourself as a combat player, Just go as a spy and spy on intelligence or something, and the other party will still have a way to deal with you. However, the problem of being a secret whistle like this is indeed unsolvable, and the concealment is super high. As long as the non-combat player does not show his feet, it is generally impossible to be discovered.

In our chat with the old man, we quickly entered the depths of the mountain. It was night now, and the forest was even darker. There is still a bit of moonlight outside, and the forest is really invisible. If most people don't use lighting tools here, it is almost impossible to move a single step.

The old man knew that the woods were dark, so he prepared the torch, but it was turned off under my suggestion, and replaced with my pet ghost lamp.

Ghost lantern is the kind of blue and red lantern we have encountered in Monster King before. It is a kind of monster. It has no battle strength itself, but its auxiliary ability is quite guarded. However, now the ghost lamp is not supporting me to fight, and summon is used as a street lamp when he comes out.

Compared with torch, the rays of light of the blue and red lights are slightly dimmer and won't shine around you very brightly, but this kind of light does not produce any shadows. In fact, as long as the blue and red lights appear, all places in the vicinity will be at the same brightness within the range of your vision. The ice will not be as bright as the rays of light in the torch, and the far places will remain pitch black. The rays of light of blue and red lights can even cover a radius of several kilometers in an open area, and all areas within the range have the same brightness, and there is no change in light and darkness at all. The advantage of this feature is that it allows you to clearly see the enemy’s position without exposing yourself. After all, holding a torch is basically a target. Others can see the light on your torch from afar while holding it. You of torch can't see enemies outside the scope of torch rays of light at all.

However, although the green and red lights are much better than the Torch in terms of lighting range and visibility, it still has the disadvantage of not being painful or itchy, that is, it is more permeating.

It can be seen from the name I gave to this pet. Ghost lamp, hearing the name, reminds people of the dark cloud covering the moon, the lonely grave beside the tree-lined path, and the shining Ghost Fire. In fact, the green and red light is the monster formed after the combination of Ghost Fire and Yin Qi, so it is not wrong to say that it is Ghost Fire. But, because the green and red light itself is Ghost Fire, his rays of light are blue and green, and they are gloomy, especially in the forest at night, let alone seeing ghosts, even if It's a normal person who is photographed by this rays of light. As long as you have no expression on your face and a straight face, others will think you are a ghost at first glance.

Because this light is more permeable, most people dare not use it as a lantern even if they have ghost lights, except for me. Of course, given the rarity of blue and red lights, it is unlikely that ordinary people will have such a familiar.

The old man loves and fears my beloved. Although he doesn't have much fear because he knows it is my beloved, the old man still feels a little frightened. However, while slightly scared, the old man still likes this kind of rays of light effect. In fact, except for the gloomy colors and low brightness, the rays of light effect is almost the same as the daytime feeling. This kind of stable and wide-range illumination is definitely 10,000 times better than torch. If it weren't for the idea that this thing is not easy to handle, the old man would almost plan to get one by himself.

In fact, what the old man didn't know was that ghost lights actually didn't emit light. That's right, the green and red light is actually black, it simply doesn't emit any light. The reason why he feels that there is a large area around him now is because I let the green and red lights open up Soul Perception to him. The light of the blue and red light is actually a built-in ability called Soul Perception. This cyan-green rays of light is actually the light of the soul, and what we see is its energy essence, not the reflection of the entity. This is why when you look at things under the rays of light of blue and red light, you will feel that many things are a little whitish, because those things are "shining" by themselves, so the brightness is brighter than that of empty places around. . Of course, the main reason why the old man hasn't discovered this secret so far is that there are no high level creatures nearby, otherwise he will definitely find a huge light group appearing in his line of sight.

Under the illumination of agile fire, the stronger the strength and the higher the energy level of an object, the higher its brightness. This is a bit similar to an infrared night vision device, except that the characteristic of the infrared night vision device is that the higher the temperature, the brighter the thing, and the Soul Fire is that the higher the energy level, the brighter the thing. As for why I didn't brighten the eyes of the blind old fellow, it was completely because I let the green and red lights shield me, otherwise the old man would find that I was like a personal sun in his sight.

After walking a section of the road like this, the old man suddenly asked me to wait, then walked to a big tree next to it and knocked a few times, after which I seemed to hear the big tree There were also two knocks inside, and then the old man knocked a few more rhythmically, which felt like a telegram.

After the old man knocked, he took me to the side of a big tree, and then walked around to the back of the trunk. This tree has a hole in the direction of the road with its back, because the trees here are very tall, so the hole in the trunk does not look very obtrusive. However, when the old man took the lead and climbed in, I realized that this was actually a secret entrance.

The new city of the Celestial Alliance is indeed in the mountains, but it is not in the mountains as everyone usually understands, but it is in the mountains and inside the mountains, as described in the text. To put it simply, this is an Underground City, and its main part is completely inside the mountain, just like an air-raid shelter. Let alone such a city in the sky, even if you drag a human wall on the ground to search, you may not be able to find it. After all, no one would have thought that there would be a tunnel entrance in an ordinary tree hole!

"Damn, are you playing tunnel warfare?" While climbing down the tree hole, I said to the old man below.

Very unexpectedly, it was not the old man who answered me, but a younger voice. "We can't help it! Now our Celestial Alliance has offended too many people. If we don't hide it, we wouldn't know how many times we have been pushed!"

I'm thinking about who is talking below He suddenly felt that he had reached the ground, but his upper body was still in the vertical hole. At this time, the person below asked me to turn around again. I had no choice but to turn around, and then squat down a little bit before discovering that there was a horizontal passage here, but the height was only about one meter, and I had to squat down to crawl inside. Fortunately, this horizontal passage is not long. It will climb to the exit in a few strokes, and after drilling out, it will be a normal tunnel structure. The height here is a little more than two meters, and it doesn't feel too depressing, at least because of my height.

After standing up again, I looked towards the speaker. This is a very ordinary-looking male player. It belongs to the type that you will quickly forget after seeing him. There is no special logo, and it can be said that it is basically a popular face. After the other party found out that I was looking at him, he was a bit stunned, and then suddenly realized that he was nodded, and I was very surprised by his reaction, but when I saw him holding the old man, I understood it.

It is said that habit becomes natural, and I cannot avoid this feature. In fact, there is no light at all in this underground passage. Before I came down, I put away the ghost lamp according to the old man’s request. After entering the tree hole, even if there is light, it is useless, because the passage is so narrow that you can’t go down. Look, you can only rely on your body's feelings to find a place to climb down a little bit with strength. But because I have perfect dark vision, I habitually forget that there should be invisible things. After the old man came down, he kept holding on to the wall, and just because I was already down, the other party was going to take the old man with him before supporting him, but he obviously also has dark vision, otherwise it is impossible to notice that I am staring. Look at him. He was surprised at first and then eased down, probably because he wanted to understand that it is normal for people like me to have night vision ability.

The other party didn't say much, he just waved his hand and motioned me to follow. Less than five meters forward from this place is a heavy curtain. The outer layer of the door curtain seems to be woven with thatch, and I don’t know what’s stuffed inside. It feels very soft and heavy. After passing through this door curtain, the second door curtain is two meters in front, and after we passed through three door curtains, we finally entered a more open passage, and this passage is different from the black gurgling passages in front, here. It's bright, but the brightness here is really low, so you can barely see if there are obstacles in front of you.

I guess that the curtains and these passages are used for sound insulation and shading, because although the tree hole itself is very concealed, if there is sound from the entrance of the hole, there is still light, then the fool also knows that there is a problem inside. Therefore, the other party set up several curtains here to block the light and make the bottom look dark, and on the other hand, it also blocks the sound over there, so as to prevent people with better ears from judging that there is an entrance from the sound.

This passage with dim light is not long, but it turns around several turns like a nine-curved bridge in the south, and the brightness increases by one every time it passes a turn. At the end, the brightness of the corner is almost the same as the normal light.

The youngster only spoke for the first time in this place. He first extended the hand to make a handshake gesture and said at the same time: "President Purple Moon is really exciting for you to come. The president will definitely be very happy to see you."

I shook hands with him and I said, "I went to the island occupied by Promise before I knew you had such a major event. I remember that I left you with more than one communicator, so why don’t you use that? communicator contact us?"

The youngster shook his head and said, "I don’t know this. I’m not a high-level player in the guild. I just know that a rebellion occurred in our guild. I was forced to run here. After that, it seemed that I couldn't contact you anyway, but I don't know why I can't contact you."

I think about it, this guy is obviously a janitor. Although the guard's job is very important, no matter where it is, the status of the guard is actually not high, so this guy is definitely not the leadership of the Celestial Alliance. It is normal that he doesn't know important information.

Since he couldn’t ask anything, I asked him to take me to see Park Yin. The other party immediately nodded and agreed, and then asked the old man to find his son on his own, and then led me to move on. go.

From the passage we are on, there is a fairly wide underground passage. Basically, you can see a lot of people running around. It looks like it’s still busy. From here Turning into another passage and walking in is not far away is a human lift. After sitting on the elevator and descending vertically for a long time, we reached a new passage. There are many people waiting in line for the elevator at the entrance of the passage here. Obviously, it is also quite busy here. My arrival made the people in the line pay attention. After all, my equipment is too exaggerated. Compared with the people covered in dirt around me, my thing is like standing in an African refugee camp in an evening dress. Called a misfit. Fortunately, I got used to it by the onlookers, and I didn't care, and followed that player to move on.

This place is actually a place similar to an elevator room. We walked out of the passage within a hundred meters from here, and then I found that we had entered a very huge underground space. This is obviously already Underground World. Although the huge space is not boundless, it is already very spectacular. At the bottom of this huge underground space is a city that looks a little gray. Of course, although the city looks very old, it is full of vitality. A large number of people are running back and forth during the period, which looks like a busy scene. Obviously, it hasn’t been long since the Celestial Alliance moved here. Everyone is busy with the restoration of the city. I guess the construction of this place may not be completed yet, because I found that many places have that primordial wood. Crane and various people a
