Chapter 36 There are always more players than problems
The Devil! ! !
The queen of Shadowweaver's lair was panicked.
It almost lost its nerve and vomited out the half-digested male spider.
since
The fear in Arlacto's heart is no less than that of the Crypt Lord.
There is no other reason.
The supreme demon king Reggie Dragon left such a deep impression on him!
Once upon a time, he was also one of the thousands of soldiers.
And with just a look from that adult, thousands of demons, including him, trembled and crawled to the ground.
He doesn't want to go back to those days.
But he doesn’t want to be an enemy of the Demon King...
"Your Majesty... It seems that hell has not forgotten this place, we must make a choice!"
"A choice?"
Arachinos suddenly stopped shaking.
The scarlet pupils moved downwards, looking down at the arrogant minister with an oppressive attitude.
"Choice?! You want me to surrender? Never! I've had enough of the Demon King's rule! My children can only be my nourishment, Shadowweaver's lair will never be a slave! To hell with hell, to hell with demons!"
It roared, becoming more and more excited.
However, when he said the last sentence, the plump and voluptuous body still shook uncontrollably.
Crypto Spiders are different from Rat Men in the end. The latter have never believed in the Demon God at all, and no one cares about their lies, but the Crypt Spiders still believe in the Demon God to some extent!
Of course.
This is two different things from surrendering to hell.
The group of pampered high-level demons have already abandoned the Demon God. From the bottom of their hearts they don't care whether they return to the surface, but they still send the Demon God's children to die on the ground without any explanation!
Yes——
Arachinos has never betrayed His Majesty the Demon God. The fault lies with those who distorted His Majesty the Demon God’s intentions!
As for the curse just now, it was purely because he was too excited and accidentally said it.
After all, it has just been conceived, and it is normal for it to be emotionally unstable. I believe His Majesty the Demon God must be aware of its loyalty!
Looking at Her Majesty the Queen who was falling into madness, Arakdo's body was shaking even more violently, and his big head was stuck to the ground, as if he was trying to dig a hole out of it.
“No—that’s not what I meant!”
Arachnos roared in rage.
"Then what do you mean! You'd better explain it to me clearly! Otherwise, I will eat you now! Immediately!"
The moment he heard these words, the hardest chitinous bones in Arakdo's body softened, and he almost turned his belly over.
But after all, it is the resourceful Arakdo, a wise and brave general under the Crypt Lord.
His brain was spinning very fast, and it quickly thought of a plan.
"We...we can pretend to surrender to him first!"
"Pretend to surrender?"
Arachnos narrowed his eyes and stared at the tiny spider under him.
Hmm?
It seems a bit interesting.
Faced with the suppression of his bloodline, Alacdo made a squeaking sound, but he still managed to calm down and spoke in a low tone.
"The Demon King... I mean the Demon King, the reason why he chose us as the entry point to enter the maze, must have been carefully considered. I speculate that in that guy's view, compared to other forces in the maze, the Shadow Weaver's lair is obviously the least threatening... Ah, I don't mean to belittle you."
Arachnos waved his forelimbs indifferently and continued with interest.
"I don't care, keep talking!"
Aracto breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"Since we are not the main obstacle to the new demon king's entry into the maze, he obviously has no reason to attack us...as long as we don't run into it ourselves."
"More than that, now that the heroes in the maze are divided, it is the time when he lacks the most support. If we take the initiative to find that guy to express his willingness to surrender, even if he knows that this is our expedient, he will be weak to us. Turn a blind eye. "
"In this way, we can gain valuable breathing time, advance and attack, retreat and defend... We can even tactfully blame the cause of the chaos on the first floor of the maze on our mortal enemies-the group of lizards hiding in the sewers!"
Looking at Her Majesty the Queen, who was already moved, Alacdo slowly raised his head and adopted an encouraging tone.
"By the time the new demon king and Reggie Dragon's old men fight to the death, we must have accumulated enough strength!" It’s coming!”
……
In the main hall below the Demon King’s territory, the crypt spiders with their legs raised were already lined up along the wall, and the thumb-thick magic crystals were piled up into a hill.
At first, the players were not very skilled at digging. They had to use a knife to scratch for a long time to find the location. In the end, they were sprayed with spider juice and were forcibly put on the aura of putrid plague.
It’s a good thing that the players have no sense of smell, otherwise the mere smell would cause a large attrition.
However, this situation did not last long.
As they kept digging, these players mastered the trick, and quickly changed from one fish every three minutes to three every minute. The fastest ones could even do one every three seconds.
It's a pity that there are not enough corpses of crypt spiders.
Otherwise, if you give these scroll kings a little more time, maybe they can figure out the art of assembly line anatomy.
The corner of the main hall.
A skeleton soldier stood in front of a spider corpse, rubbing his chin with his index finger. After a long time, he muttered thoughtfully.
"It's a bit interesting."
Seeing [Table and Stool], another person was mysteriously squatting in the corner. Gou Shi, who was walking around with nothing to do, couldn't help but curiously approached him.
"What's wrong, buddy? Mushrooms are growing here too?"
"No." Brother Zhushu shook his head, "I just found some interesting things."
"What is it? Tell me." Thinking that this brother had found some bug, Gou Shi couldn't help but shine with his eyes, urging him to say a few more words.
Brother Zhushu didn't hide it, he told his unexpected discovery.
"This thing called magic crystal seems to be mainly distributed in areas with dense neurons."
The air was subtly quiet for a while.
Gou Shi initially thought that the brother had not finished what he said. After waiting for a while, he realized that was all he had to say, and he couldn't help but look confused on his face.
"Ah...is there any problem?"
Brother Table Stool touched the bridge of his nose with his index finger and said with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"No problem...but don't you think it's interesting?"
Gou Shi: "..."
I don't understand!
This is just a game setting!
He has no idea what the fun is!
However, Brother Table and Stool didn’t think so and continued to talk.
"Crystals formed after the death of living things, and all of them are concentrated near the nervous system! I dissected the corpses of the rat men, and even the corpse of the rat man BOSS, and found a similar situation! Even players... similar things can be found on the corpses of players, and they are on the back of the neck!"
But does this mean anything?
Gou Shi wanted to ask this question, but felt that it was too unreasonable to ask, so he sighed helplessly.
"You and that guy Yiye Zhiqiu will definitely be able to chat."
"Maybe."
This weirdo doesn't seem to care who he can chat with, he just muttered to himself.
Although this game is good, it is quite tiring after playing for a long time, just like going to work.
But having said that.
She is very satisfied if she can move.
Perhaps this is the value of fully immersive virtual reality online games!
When she thought about the broad prospects of this game after the public beta, she suddenly felt that all the fatigue in her body had been swept away, and the hard work in front of her seemed not so hard anymore?
· Wait——
· Have you been CPU-blocked?
Just when Xiaowan was thinking about finding a place to log off that was out of the way, he suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at him.
It’s not just players.
Even the NPCs squatting in the stone prison stared at her as if they were looking at monsters.
Just when Xiao Wan was confused about what was happening, she heard the ridicule of several skeleton soldiers.
"Good guy..."
"We are all still shirtless, why are you wearing clothes?!"
Xiaowan was slightly startled, and looked down following the gazes of several people, only to see that her ribs, humerus... were wrapped in circles and circles of spider silk, like a spinning machine that had exploded.
Her face suddenly turned dark when she thought that this thing was spit out from the spider's mouth or butt.
Although her face is originally dark.
"Go to hell!"
She angrily picked up the stone and threw it out, but it hit nothing.
Several skeletons with playful smiles quickly disappeared when she saw this. She couldn't catch them even if she wanted to, so she could only sit in the corner with a depressed face. At this time, two kind-faced skeletons came over, one on the left and one on the right squatting beside her.
"Need help?" The skeleton on the right smiled gently at her, and a line of poetic ID floated beside her head.
【Whale falls to the north and south】
Xiao Wan looked touched.
Sure enough——
There are still kind players in this world!
However, she was originally a social phobic, and she was really embarrassed to bother others in the game, so she waved her hand politely.
"No, no, no, I'll just get rid of it myself later."
"Don't be so polite!" The skeleton on the left hugged her shoulders and said with a lively smile, "My boss is thinking about making money! Because you seem to be alone, so we decided Let’s start with you first——"
"Hey! How can I make money after you have already told me!"
Whale Luo Nanbei glared at her fiercely, then looked at Xiao Wan, who had a blank look on her face, coughed lightly, and the gentle and intellectual smile returned to the skull face.
"Don't worry about it, my best friend's brain is not normal, and occasionally she will say some thoughtless things... Considering that she is a corpse, can you forgive her this time?"
"Babei! What do you mean, what do you mean, my brain is not normal? And besides, you are not a corpse yourself!"
Just as the skeleton on the left protested angrily, the confused Xiao Wan finally saw her ID clearly——
【Shark Drops Something】
"Pfft..."
What the hell is this name? !
The two skeletons laughed out loud when they saw the guests in front of them. They immediately stopped arguing and forced a business-like smile from their faces.
Shark dropped something: "The reward given by the Demon King is too small. I can't even buy equipment with just the mission income! Also, those scroll kings are outrageous. They rushed to Black Iron in two days! Can you believe it?! Is that still a human being?! In reality, it is also a skeleton!!"
< br/> Whale Luo Bei Nan: "Anyway——"
Hshark Drop: "We decided to go it alone! It just so happens that you kings of scrolls are only busy with your work and have no time to take care of your own hygiene, so we thought we might as well open a bathhouse for scrubbing!"
Xiao Wan was about to express weakly that her home was quite north, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by a guy with an imposing manner comparable to a great white shark.
"Listen to me first!"
Xiao Wan: "Yes! Is it...?"
Who is the customer?
Shark dropped something: "The result is the result! Those guys are living too rough! They don't care about the smell at all, and they plausibly say that they can't smell it anyway. Even if they stink to the other side, they will earn it! Are these stingy guys, doesn't anyone think about the Demon King? ! "
"That's the situation," Whale Luo Nanbei nodded with a smile, touched the shark's head, looked at Xiao Wan and continued, "Want to experience it? Don't worry about anything, just give your body to us...it only costs 1,000 Hades coins."
1000 ghost coins?
That is...
1,000 kilograms of coal? !
Xiao Wan, who just wanted to support their career, almost reflexively shrank her shoulders and distanced herself from the two black-hearted skeleton soldiers.
"It really doesn't work..."
Shark dropped the thing and sighed in frustration. He didn't force it, he just muttered something in a low voice.
"I'm just saying... no one will accept it!"
I feel a little regretful about Whale Falling North and South, but I still comforted my best friend by saying.
"Starting a business is always ups and downs, just treat it as an accumulation of setbacks."
Looking at the two singing together, Xiao Wan envied their friendship and couldn't help but make a little complaint.
"You... you can actually talk about cross talk, I think it will make more money than a dry cleaning shop."
"Really?!" Shark, who was frustrated a second ago, threw something in front of her in surprise and held her hand, "Tickets! How much are you willing to pay!"
The will-o'-the-wisp burning in the eyes of the skull seemed to have turned into the shape of a ghost coin.
"10... ghost coins?"
"So few!"
Shark looked deeply struck, and pressed his right hand on his empty heart.
Whale Luo Nanbei thought seriously for a moment, his eyes shining with intellectual light.
"Hmm... Are you talking about cross talk? But I always think that beautiful women taking baths are more popular."
Xiao Wan: "Skeletons... can't be wiped."
Happily, Whale Luo Bei Nan has realized the problem and finally gave up the idea and looked like he was sighing.
"Forget it... It seems that this road is not feasible. Let's wait until you are reincarnated into a slime before considering it."
Hearing this, Xiao Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she was curious about why reincarnating into a slime worked, her intuition told her that it was better not to ask around.
At least, this game currently cannot be reincarnated into slimes, and the trend should not be distorted by these two living treasures.
But then again, this is the first time she has chatted with someone for so long in the game.
I feel like the fatigue of the day has been cured...
Shark dropping things: "Speaking of which, others are just covered with some mucus, why are there so many spider silks on your body? Was it taken away by the BOSS?"
"That's not true, it is mainly the mission of the Demon King..." Xiao Wan recounted the encounter just now with some embarrassment.
Because she was afraid of spiders, she was sent by the devil to clean the house. When she came back to her senses, her body had become like this.
"Well... it's so pitiful," Jingluo looked at Xiao Wan sympathetically, carefully examining her body covered with spider silk, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid I can't pick this thing off... Why don't we try roasting it, or just commit suicide?"
Xiao Wan made a look like he was sighing.
"Hey, let me think about it."
Looking at the frustrated Xiao Wan, Shark comforted him with a playful smile.
"Don't be too sad, it actually looks good even if you don't take it off, it feels like a wedding dress."
Hike Luo: "Oh? Is it torn to tatters?"
"Hey, you know a lot about this!" Shaluo stood up and nudged her with his elbow, and said with a smirk, "Send me a copy of the information for review!"
"It's not impossible...but now I suddenly have a new idea that I want to put into practice."
"What do you think...of using this to make clothes?"
Clothes?
Xiao Wan was stunned for a moment, and her eyes lit up.
This idea seems to be a good one...
She didn’t even think of it!
Because she is not very mobile, she happens to be good at some crafts, such as knitting sweaters, scarves and embroidery.
"But skeletons don't need to wear clothes?" Shark Tuo touched his chin, looking disapproving, "And these guys don't care about their image at all, why don't we just talk about cross talk -"
"Silly!"
The whale landed on her head and knocked her.
"When I say clothes, you only think of clothes. Why don't you think about it more! For example, backpacks, there are always people who need these things, right? Especially for those who are kings of rolls, bringing more supplies can save you the number of trips home! You can also pick up more treasures!"
"Not to mention armor, but also bandages! Would it be very troublesome if a bone suddenly breaks while exploring the maze? Just tie it with our bandages and you can fight again! Don't you think as soon as we make it, it will sell out immediately!"
"Fuck! Fuck, fuck!" Shark looked at his best friend excitedly, and the will-o'-the-wisp that was shaking in the skull's head turned into the shape of a ghost coin again, "You are such a talent! By the way! You also have the skin of a rat man! Maybe that's okay too!"
"That's necessary!" With a confident smile on Jingluo's face, he then cast his gaze towards Xiaowan and stretched out his right hand, "After all, I got this inspiration from you... How about it? Do you want to do it together?"
The answer is obvious.
Looking at those sparkling eyes, Xiao Wan couldn't say no at all.
She wanted to give it a try.
Even in the game, she wanted to try to find the value of her existence.
And the most important thing is...
She really doesn’t want to mine anymore.
If this continues, this mmoRPG with a bright future will almost be turned into a coal mine simulator by her.
Looking at Xiaowan putting her hand on the back of Whale Luo's hand, Shackle Luo also put his hand on it excitedly.
"Okay! The first tannery factory in the necropolis has been officially established!"
"Don't be in a hurry now," Whale Luo, who had completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony, put his hand on Shark's shoulder and pushed her in the direction of the Demon King's workshop, "Since you have decided to do it, do it well, and hurry up and make preparations!"
Making equipment for weaving requires many materials, including wood for spinning machines.
However, the entrance to Beifeng Mine is currently blocked by an air wall, and no one can go outside.
However, Jing Luo feels that since the NPCs are so smart, there should still be an accommodating solution through negotiation.
After all, hardware tools are sold in stores, so it’s strange that there are no materials to use!
