Chapter 295 Cursed Land, the Collision of Curse and Magic
Wu Yan followed Uncle Xu into the decisive battle meeting hall,
Such a new type of conference hall really opened his eyes.
It has a full sense of technology. From the moment you enter, it has been certified by machines and scans, and there are not many employees.
After arriving at the conference round table, there was a large screen right in front.
Apart from him and Uncle Xu, there was only one NPC standing there wearing a mask, wearing night clothes and dressed like a ninja.
In addition, there are no people in the other positions. A projected character is used, and the projection can only show the appearance of one person, not even whether it is a male or a female.
Of course, the person hosting the meeting also discusses the progress of the meeting with everyone through the screen.
The person presiding over the meeting was the minister of the human tribe and the most mysterious counselor, codenamed: [Li Si].
When [Yancheng] first opened,
[Li Si] represents [Yancheng] and is also the core NPC area of the human tribe, welcoming all players.
His profession has made many players guess for a long time.
However, only players who have passed the high level can enter [Yancheng].
That’s why I didn’t see a few players on the street just now.
[Li Si] looked around through the surrounding cameras. Only the first position did not light up the projection area, and then asked, "Isn't that guy back yet?"
At the same time, a woman's voice in the second position rang out, "That guy? I'm afraid he died outside a long time ago. He hasn't appeared for several days."
"Jie Jie Jie, Long Qing, are you thinking of automatically being promoted to the top of the ladder?" There was a voice of an old man who looked like a great wizard at the ninth position.
Long Qing smiled disdainfully, "I still need to rely on automatic promotion. Even if that guy comes back, I have the confidence to fight him!"
Although Long Qing spoke with confidence, his voice became softer as he spoke.
On the other side, Uncle Xu looked at Wu Yan's puzzled look and immediately explained the reason for the dispute.
The ten people here, including Uncle Xu, are all the so-called top ten NPCs on the ladder.
And Xu Bo is the tenth goalkeeper on the ladder.
The weakest among the ten,
And this information is all about the top ten NPCs in the arena whose names have not been announced.
In the arena rankings, everyone's name has been hidden, and only unknown NPCs are displayed.
Wu Yan listened to Uncle Xu's introduction, and then observed the other nine NPCs around him. Except for the speaker [Li Si] who was the initiator,
The other nine NPCs are all very recognizable.
The so-called recognition refers to the particularity of an NPC. Generally speaking, the more recognizable an NPC is, the greater its task chain and background are likely to be.
There may even be situations where the same NPC has multiple backgrounds.
[Li Si] took out a three-dimensional war sandbox and projected it on the big screen. This three-dimensional sandbox was full of technology.
Various scenes and weather can be simulated, and every route and main city design can be constructed anytime, anywhere, and accurately to everyone in every house.
Wu Yan looked at the three-dimensional sand table attentively, and curiously interrupted [Li Si]'s eloquent speech, "Minister, how can I buy this sand table?"
[Li Si]'s thoughts stopped. He was known as the most knowledgeable counselor in the human tribe, but he hesitated because of the price of the sand table.
Immediately, he used a reason to convince himself,
There are so many items in the human tribe, how could he remember the price of every item?
Unless it is an item related to the important survival of the human tribe,
For example, the price of food, the price of fresh water, the price of resources, and the price of medicine.
However, [Li Si] did not answer directly because of his own dignity, but said seriously, "Uncle Xu, I will leave the detailed information about this sand table to you."
"As long as he can pay the minimum price, he can accept the transaction."
"Now, let's go back to the issue of counterattack."
"The information collected so far shows that the number of A-level alien beasts is more than 10,000, and the number of S-level alien beasts is more than 100."
"There are even 11 remaining demon children."
"Every devil's child is quite troublesome."
[Li Si] After describing the situation, he is waiting to see if the top ten NPCs on the ladder have any comments to add.
Long Qing, who was ranked second, said indifferently, "Don't drag me into a fight of this level."
"Those demon children are just carefully crafted monsters."
After saying that, Long Qing went offline directly, and the 3D projection on her position dimmed.
[Li Si] didn't look angry. He just nodded in agreement, "My plan is to send Uncle Xu and Mr. Zhang out, which should be more than enough."
It can be seen from [Li Si]'s tone that he is also quite confident.
And this so-called combat meeting lasted less than 10 minutes, including spending nearly 3 minutes thinking about the sandbox he wanted to buy.
The old weirdo Zhang should be referring to the yin and yang great wizard at the beginning. He smiled "Jie Jie" and walked towards Uncle Xu.
He showed yellow teeth, the backs of his hands were showing signs of aging, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes almost covered them.
When he spoke, you couldn't even see his eyes moving, "Big Xu, you go into this battle first. Don't call me until you lose your hands and feet."
Xu Bowen responded angrily, "No problem."
Is the battle meeting that simple?
Wu Yan, who had come all the way to attend the battle meeting, was somewhat at a loss.
He pointed at Mr. Zhang, who was hunched over and walking away, and asked, "Uncle Xu, is that guy powerful?"
Uncle Xu nodded heavily, “His true strength is among the top five on the ladder.
Wu Yan suddenly realized, no wonder [Li Si] is so confident,
While the two of them were walking out, Wu Yan thought of another question and continued to ask Uncle Xu, "Lan Shi, do you know?"
Uncle Xu knew everything and said, "Yes, Commander of the Ghost Swordsman Corps."
"What about his strength?"
Uncle Xu scratched his head, "For now, he is not our opponent.",
Wu Yan carefully analyzed the strength of the human tribes at each stage. If Lan Shi couldn't even be ranked in the top ten of the ladder,
Doesn’t that mean these are super version characters?
If you go to farm alien beasts with these ultra-version characters, is it really not cheating?
Just when Wu Yan was in a tangled state,
Uncle Xu continued to add, "However, that guy Lan Shi is very dangerous, and he contains powerful power."
"By the way, Uncle Xu, can you really sell that sandbox to me?"
An embarrassed smile appeared on Uncle Xu's face, "That sand table is the tactical sand table of our military department. There are no more than 10 in total. Each one requires a lot of workmanship."
"What's the price?" Wu Yan quickly interrupted the spell casting,
Uncle Xu revealed his honest price, "100 million."
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, "1 diamond is equal to...",
Unexpectedly, Uncle Xu continued to change his words and said, "It's 100 million diamonds."
At this moment, Wu Yan had the idea of robbery.
With the total transaction volume in the market over so many days, it is impossible for there to be 100 million diamonds.
He is now reselling a lot of top-quality equipment, and Qu Sun helped him deal with it at a high price. Now it is only tens of thousands of diamonds.
He thought that if it was only 10,000 diamonds, he could buy it.
Wu Yan clapped his hands with some regret,
If there was this tactical sandbox, paired with his own hang glider, and Yan Xiaoyu's unstoppable deception skills,
Maybe there is no need to continue fighting and the other party can be tricked into surrendering.
If you think about it this way, Yan Xiaoyu is really a terrible player.
"That's right." Uncle Xu changed the topic when he saw that Wu Yan did not continue to want to buy a tactical sandbox.
"Aren't you curious why the minister only sent two of us to fight?"
Wu Yan asked, "Isn't it because the alien beasts are not strong?"
Uncle Xu shook his head, "Actually, it has something to do with you.",
Wu Yan immediately thought of the newly resurrected Leoric, and he was surprised, "It can't be Master Leoric.",
Uncle Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you still call him your mentor? He took advantage of your kindness to promote the resurrection experiment, just to break the limits of the magician!"
"He is much more terrifying than those strange beasts.",
Wu Yan's expression became serious, "Uncle Xu, tell me the truth, will Leoric take action against civilians?"
Uncle Xu said seriously, "We can't guess what Leoric's behavior will be, but we have to prepare for the worst."
"Too."
Wu Yan said goodbye to Uncle Xu at the door of the conference room. The other party said that it would take a day or two to prepare.
——
Taking advantage of this moment, he prepared to level up quickly.
On this day, a new area was opened, called the Cursed Land, and many players rushed to it.
It was also Wu Yan who stimulated the players too much.
More and more players are beginning to follow Wu Yan's example and learn his model, and some unopened areas are also participating.
In this way, there are conditions to open the area, and this is how the Cursed Land was discovered by players.
As for which player it is, it has not been announced yet.
A cursed place?
Wu Yan looked at a teleportation port that had just been opened in the main city. Around the teleportation port, there were people advertising the way to the Cursed Land.
He is a very young magician. He wears very strange clothes. His upper body and lower body are all worn-out apprentice magician clothes.
But the magic hat he wears and the magic wand he holds are both quite exquisite.
To be conservative, they are at least epic equipment.
"If I want to teleport now, do I need someone to pay for it?" Wu Yan looked at the sign next to the young magician and said,
It says,
"There is a certain fee for teleporting to a cursed place.",
Could it be that the cost of technology in this place is more expensive than labor? Wu Yan just thought about it for a moment and said to the young magician,
"Help me open the portal. How much does it cost in total?"
The young magician looked up and down at Wu Yan's outfit, but Wu Yan was now wearing a special suit that covered up his disordered suit and legendary props.
So the young magician looked at Wu Yan for a long time, but couldn't see any clues from Wu Yan.
at last,
The young magician gritted his teeth and said, "Dear adventurer, considering that we are both magicians, I will give you a 50% discount and charge you 25 diamonds."
Wu Yan stopped when he was about to extract the diamonds. He asked again, "25 diamonds? Are you sure?"
Seeing that something was wrong, the young magician immediately changed his words and said, "If it doesn't work, 20 diamonds will do."
Wu Yan finally couldn't help it anymore, "Are you a player?"
The young magician was stunned, "Are you questioning the authenticity of me being an NPC?"
He was a little anxious and directly pulled out the introduction of his NPC, "Did you see? I am the real NPC.",
Not only that, he also analyzed the relationship between him and other NPCs endlessly.
Things like relationship chains are indeed exclusive to NPCs and cannot be simulated by players pretending to be NPCs.
Wu Yan just smiled coldly, "I have never seen a profiteer like you among NPCs. Most of the teleportation fees are about 1 diamond. You just sit here and set the price."
"In this main city, there are still a few players who can go to the Cursed Land.",
Good guy,
Wu Yan already fully suspected that this guy had been targeting him from the beginning.
Compared to [Fenglei Villa] and other ace players from other colleges,
It is very difficult to judge the young magician who looks like an NPC and a player.
His intuition told him that the young magician in shabby clothes in front of him must be the player.
After all, people like Qu Sun have appeared before,
Qu Sun is the player he knows who has a complete set of NPC chains.
But in fact, he is the only one who knows the true identity of Qu Sun as the player until now.
Before, Qu Sun also told several people that his true identity was a player.
Unfortunately, no one else believed him no matter how he described it.
However, Wu Yan promised Qu Sun not to reveal his identity as a player to anyone.
Otherwise, he would now use this example to refute the young magician.
Seeing that Wu Yan didn't refute for a long time, the young magician proudly took out his magic wand and controlled the closing and opening of the portal.
"Now believe that I am an NPC. Even if you have to go to the Cursed Land through other places, you will have to go through at least a dozen teleportation points and walk in various ways."
"And I only need 20 diamonds here.",
Wu Yan checked the young magician's information again,——
[NPC name: [Matthew]]
[NPC introduction: A slightly accomplished magician]
[Good at: cooking and sports]
[Wedding cigarettes: none]
[Graduation School: Holtz College]
[Achievements: Killed 10,000 vampires in a battle with the Red Moon Tribe]
——
Wu Yan looked at this nonsense introduction and fell into deep thought, "How many of your fabrications are true?"
[Matthew] smiled, "You have to believe in the sincerity of the npc, of course it's all true.",
"Why don't you go? If you don't go, I will go to other main cities to collect fees."
Wu Yan looked at the other party's hurried look, and suddenly thought of the key point of his teleportation magic circle, that is, the person who cast the magic must recharge it every once in a while.
Maybe the teleportation magic arrays from other main cities leading to the Cursed Land were also designed by this guy.
If this is really the case,
Wu Yan suddenly became interested in [Matthew], and he had an idea, "I can accept the price of 20 diamonds, but how do you prove that this teleportation magic circle goes to the cursed land.".
[Matthew] said in surprise, "You new humans can't pass directly...",
Halfway through speaking, he suddenly noticed Wu Yan's expectant expression and stopped immediately. He felt so dangerous that he was almost deceived.
Wu Yan saw the opportunity and immediately added, "At least you have to prove that you have been to the Cursed Land."
[Matthew] continued, "That's easy to deal with. This plant is known as the grass of decay. As long as you drink the potion ground from it, you will have bad luck for the day."
Wu Yan took it and rubbed it a little. This would not infringe on the captain's ownership of the items.
Generally speaking, it has no effect, because the small amount put into the production of magic potion is completely insufficient.
But,
The production of the magic circle only requires the introduction of a unique item. If you find a unique item in the cursed land, you can make the teleportation array.
He still had enough materials for the magic circle he used to teleport. Now he could rely on these materials to make one himself.
[Matthew] looked at Wu Yan who was a little disappointed and continued to say proudly, "It's time to believe me now. I don't believe that the new humans here can't even get 20 diamonds.",
Wu Yan shrugged, "Indeed, I decided not to use your teleportation magic circle."
The other party's sudden reversal of attitude caught [Matthew] a little off guard. He asked in surprise, "You don't want it anymore? The cursed land is an exciting place. In addition to being able to increase your strength through curses and speed up the cultivation, Beyond the weird speed,"
"You can also get some cursed treasures."
Wu Yan's eyes suddenly became interested. The term "cursed treasure" has almost never appeared among current players.
But he had heard the term "cursed treasure" when [Lina] told him some legendary stories.
[Matthew] Seeing Wu Yan's interest, he immediately became energetic again and kept telling some stories about "cursed treasures" that he seemed to have heard before.
"Don't you have any other useful information?" Wu Yan asked back,
[Matthew] suppressed his blush and couldn't say anything more about the "cursed treasure".
He seemed to be a little pressed for time, and he began to urge Wu Yan to pay for the teleportation quickly.
After Wu Yan squeezed out all the information, he shook his head, did a very gentlemanly courtesy, and walked away silently.
[Matthew] hurriedly chased after him, "You won't teleport anymore?"
Wu Yan found an open space, and in front of [Matthew], he majestically put on a teleportation magic circle.
[Matthew]'s eyes widened, "You can actually teleport a magic circle?"
"How is it possible? There is no current version..." [Matthew] suddenly found the other party looking at him from the corner of his eye, and immediately swallowed the word "update".
[Matthew] was still observing Wu Yan's placement of the magic array without believing in evil. His whole body was uncontrollably excited.
He seemed to have seen something that subverted his cognition, and he even gave up on going to other main cities to recharge the teleportation magic arrays in other main cities.
"Who are you?" [Matthew] finally couldn't help but asked after seeing the other party draw a complete teleportation magic circle.
"Don't you know how to read public videos and forums?" Wu Yan asked directly.
[Matthew] was about to explain, but he shut up instantly.
Wu Yan shrugged, and then looked at the prompt in his panel with satisfaction, which read,
——
[Whether you want to teleport to the cursed land, there is no charge, and you can teleport 9997 people for free]
——
He looked at the number of free teleporters and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that the rules of this magic circle skill changed because of [Matthew]?
[Matthew] felt guilty when Wu Yan looked at him. He felt that the other party had seen through his disguise, but he really wanted to know who the other party was.
Like Qu Sun, his forums and public channel communications are all locked, and he can only obtain player information through NPC channels.
Before Wu Yan stepped into the teleportation magic circle, he said casually, "Would you like to go together? It's free. If you find the cursed treasure, I'll share it with you."
Logically speaking, the word "free" would sound very harsh, but his mind was filled with curiosity.
If it were other NPCs, they should know the origin of this guy. [Matthew] immediately came to his senses when he saw Uncle Xu entering with Wu Yan.
"I won't go for now, I have other things to do." After saying that, [Matthew] immediately put away his teleportation magic circle, and then went to say hello to Uncle Xu who just passed by.
Wu Yan noticed the opponent's movements. Before unfolding and retracting the teleportation magic circle, the opponent's use was quite mature.
Could it be that [Matthew] has reached the level of a great mage?
After all, I encountered many ultra-version characters in [Yancheng], and after feedback from a few players, a consensus has been reached.
He stepped into the teleportation magic circle, and the prompt appeared again,
——
[Message prompt: Welcome to the cursed land, experience value + 80,000]
——
[Due to the influence of the cursed land, your experience points for killing enemies are doubled, your physical defense and magic defense are halved, your resistance is halved, and your magic attack, physical attack, and skill damage are enhanced by half! 】
——
And how many players were there in front of him?
He was surrounded by densely packed monsters with black mist and various bandages on their bodies!
