Chapter 159-10: The Quanrong Squad Returns with a Full Load (4K)
"Brother Niu is back, Brother Niu is back!"
"Fuck, Brother Niu, you're finally back!"
"Brother Niu, how was the harvest? I saw you said in the forum that the gameplay of the Ancestral Secret Realm is very good. What is the specific situation?"
"Brother Niu, who is your ancestor?"
"Brother Niu said, who cares who he is? There is no need to revive the ancestor. I will surpass the ancestor!"
After Niu Bu returned to the place where the players were stationed, he immediately caused an uproar. A group of players surrounded Niu Bu and asked him about the gameplay of [Ancestral Secret Realm].
[Ancestral Secret Realm] was a sudden official update without any notice, and it was extremely inconsistent with the game's update schedule.
After all, version 0.655 has just been updated, and an ancestral secret realm has been launched. This is not in line with the slacking behavior of the game planner!
"What a great way to play. It's definitely a top-notch way to play. This [Ancestral Secret Realm] is just too great. Just for the gameplay of [Ancestral Secret Realm] alone, I can give the planner a thousand points. I'm not afraid of the planner being too proud."
Niu Bu's wild blowing [Ancestral Secret Realm]:
“Everyone knows how difficult this game is. It is the most difficult of all games, bar none.
The most annoying thing is that there is no way to quickly complete this game by paying real money. The game store only sells a Chinese version, and the others don’t even sell costumes.”
Listening to Niu Bu's boasting, a player raised an objection: "Brother Niu, although the official does not sell props, entering the Ancestral Secret Realm requires a large amount of Yancheng Contribution Points and Yancheng Merit Points. You spent 2000 yuan to enter the secret realm. Isn't this called krypton gold quick success? Isn't this called selling numerical values?"
Before Niu Bu could reply, another player attacked him: "This is just a bullshit quick-win game and a bullshit statistic.
First of all, to enter the Ancestral Secret Realm, you must log into the game using a holographic game cabin. To obtain a holographic game cabin, you must either kill enemies to gain activity points, or honestly collect military pay and exchange [Military Orders] for activity points, or you can obtain it by improving your ranking on the Heavenly Ranking and Earthly Ranking.
Anyway, up to now, except for Brother Niu, no one else has a holographic game cabin. Ask Brother Niu, you have been playing this game for more than 100 days, how much money have you spent?"
"Spend? I made 70,000 or 80,000 yuan!"
"Isn't that right? First of all, the conditions for entering the Ancestral Secret Realm restrict most people. Then, if you want to enter the Ancestral Secret Realm, you spend Yancheng Contribution Value and Yancheng Merit Value, not RMB. These two things are produced in large quantities in the game. Niu Bu spent money to buy them, but he bought them from other players, not directly from the game mall.
This move spent Yancheng Contribution Points and Yancheng Merit Points to directly recycle a large amount of game coins that were over-issued for the [Soldier] profession. Look at the current ratio of game coins on the [Treasure Pavilion]. It originally skyrocketed a lot, and now with the release of the Ancestral Secret Realm, it has dropped even lower than before! "
"It increases the stickiness of game players, recycles game currency, improves the strength of players, reduces the difficulty of the game, and also makes players feel competitive."
"Killing four birds with one stone. This is a really great plan."
One player concluded that if Chu Zhongxing spied on this player, he would definitely give this player a thumbs up.
It turns out he is so awesome!
"By the way, Brother Niu hasn't told you who your ancestor is!"
"My ancestor, do you know the order to kill the Hu people? It was Ran Min who issued the order to kill the Hu people!"
"Fuck, Ran Min, hang hang hang!"
"What the hell, we are fighting against the barbarians now, isn't this just killing indiscriminately?"
“Wuhu, strong, strong, strong!”
When the players heard that Niu Bu's ancestor was Ran Min, they immediately became excited. Ran Min was extremely cruel to the barbarians and was very good at beating them. Niu Bu inherited the abilities of his ancestor Ran Min, so wouldn't he be able to beat the barbarians as well!
"Hahaha, don't tell me, I feel so powerful and terrifying right now!"
Niu Bu laughed loudly: "Call all the brothers, target Beiting, I want to use the heads of the barbarians to test whether my knife is sharp!"
"Oh my god, it's on fire!"
The cold wind was howling and sand and stones were flying everywhere.
Winter is about to come in northern Xinjiang, and the weather is getting colder day by day.
Niu Bu, who inherited the power of his ancestors, led the players to attack Beiting directly. Along the way, Niu Bu and the players were basically in a state of forced march. Their two horses took turns to go into battle. Except for the time when the players had to go offline to rest every 24 hours, the rest of the time they were on forced march.
Along the way, Niu Bu and others encountered several small tribes. They did not directly attack the barbarian villages as usual, but marked the locations of the villages on the map and waited until after the battle with Beiting.
After two days of such a tight schedule, Niu Bu and more than 50 players under his command arrived at the Beiting area.
The northern border is vast, and the distance between each city is very large.
When Niu Bu and others left Yancheng, the wind in Yancheng was cold, making people feel chilled to the bone.
But when they arrived at the Beiting area, the wind suddenly became much milder.
"The North Courtyard is just ahead!"
"It looks like it should be. This is the first time I've seen such a magnificent city since I entered the game."
"This is what we call a city. Compared with Beiting, Yancheng is just like a pass."
"It is indeed magnificent, but correspondingly, the difficulty of this instance is also quite high!"
A few kilometers away, the magnificent Beiting appeared in the eyes of Niu Bu and others. The construction style of Beiting was the same as that of Yancheng, both of which were mainly made of bluestone, but the difference was that the city wall of Beiting was very high. From Niu Bu's visual observation, the city wall of Beiting was about thirty or forty meters.
A city wall of thirty or forty meters is simply incredible in Earth OL, but in this world, people do not find it strange.
Niu Bu, who has entered the realm of self-cultivation and has opened up hundreds of acupuncture points all over his body, can jump more than ten meters high with a single leap.
If the wall of a city is only a few dozen meters, Niu Bu can jump directly into the city.
Whoosh!
An arrow shot from the Beiting Watchtower and hit a player's left shoulder. The player fell to the ground, and a few seconds later he got up again with a pale face.
"Fuck, this dungeon is really difficult. An arrow shot at me from such a long distance, and I didn't even have time to react!"
"Damn it! I thought the difficulty of the Iltsk Oasis dungeon was high enough, but I didn't expect the difficulty of Beiting to increase by dozens of times. How can we play with this difficulty?"
"Retreat, retreat first, don't be a target here!!"
Niu Bu thought that he did not have the strength to hit the target with one arrow from such a long distance. The one who could do this should be a soldier from the Qi family realm.
All the sentries in Beiting are from the Qi family?
Niu Bu led more than fifty players to retreat for a distance. In the Iltsk Oasis copy, only the copy BOSS was Qi Jiajing.
And now every sentinel in Beiting is at the Qi family level, so the difficulty of this copy is too high.
"Brother Niu, how do we fight?"
"Don't even think about relying on us for this instance. Why do I feel like even the Yancheng New Army and the Yancheng Zhenbei Army can't handle it together?" "Of course they can't handle it, otherwise we wouldn't be the Yancheng New Army, but the Beiting New Army!"
Faced with such a terrifying new dungeon, a group of players asked Niu Bu. Niu Bu suddenly grinned and pointed at the vague Beiting in his vision: "Who said we are going to attack the city? The task given to us by the commander is not to attack the city, but to plunder the northern border and explore the way to return to the Imperial Shang Dynasty."
"Just now everyone saw that outside the Beiting city gate, there were many people and carriages coming in and out. What does this mean?
This means that Beiting is just a regular city, communicating with other cities. How can we, with such a small number of people, be qualified to attack the city? We might as well be bandits and rob people and carriages coming in and out!"
"Fuck, seconds!"
"Bandits? That's too harsh. We are Yancheng's new army, the regular army of Di Shang. How can we be bandits?"
"There are more than a hundred new soldiers. Why not call them the heroes of Liangshan?"
"No, the heroes of Liangshan didn't end up well!"
"The heroes of Liangshan will only die once, and so will we. There's nothing to be afraid of!"
The tasks that Chu Zhongxing assigned to players such as Niu Bu and Su Shan were, first, to fight to support the war and plunder the northern border, and second, to explore Beiting and Shicheng to see if they could find a way back to the Imperial Merchants.
Chu Zhongxing never said that he wanted to let Niu Bu and others attack Beiting.
Even Guo Xiaoding can't do this!
"It's too bright now, and we've already alerted the enemy. Everyone should evacuate further away, and those who need to rest should rest and adjust their condition."
"When the night gets dark, we will go to the official road to investigate and see if we can set up an ambush!"
"Brother Niu, will they still be active at night? What if they all go to sleep and don't move?"
"Don't worry about whether he's active or not. Let's gather some information first. Even if everyone dies on this trip, it will be worth it as long as we can get information about Beiting!"
After two days of forced march, the players got some time to rest and relax for the first time. Niu Bu, who owned a holographic game cabin, also chose to go offline to rest and relax. He first went to the gym and exercised hard, then found a foot massage place and asked a young lady to relax him.
Eat meat with big mouthfuls, drink wine with big gulps, gallop on the battlefield, and be accompanied by beautiful women.
Niu Bu has now achieved most of it.
The game time is completely opposite to the time of Earth OL. Niu Bu spent the middle of the night at the young lady's place and returned home in the early morning.
After replenishing food in the holographic game cabin, Niu Bu sent a message to his players to urge them, then he lay down in the holographic game cabin and entered the game.
We marched for two days and two nights just for this moment!
"Go, keep your voices down, and try not to make any noise."
It was dark at night. Niu Bu and others took off their clothes and tied them to the hooves of their war horses. Then, a group of more than 50 people took advantage of the night and groped their way towards Beiting in the cold wind.
It's late at night and the nebula is spreading. If you are in Yancheng or Iltsk Oasis, most NPCs will start to sleep except for a few on sentry duty.
However, Beiting was an exception. On the Beiting city wall, two white lanterns were hung high, and on both sides of the city gate, dozens of symmetrical torches were burning.
The Beiting city gate was wide open, and the number of people entering and leaving the city was no different from that during the day, with an endless stream.
“Why are there so many people coming in and out at night?”
"Look at these carts full of supplies being transported to the city. Do you think that they are barbarians who went to plunder the border of the Imperial Shang Dynasty and returned with a full load?"
"That's my feeling. Otherwise, there's no way to explain where all the supplies came from!"
"Damn, look, there are not only supplies, but also people. The whole car is full of women. These barbarians are too much. They tied up the women like animals and threw them into the car casually!"
"Not only are there women, but there are also men and children. These are definitely the barbarians who returned after plundering in the south."
"Winter is coming soon. They will definitely not go out again when the snow blocks the mountain. So we should take advantage of the warmer weather now to plunder and bring back the supplies."
All kinds of supplies, women, men, children and other "items" were loaded onto horse-drawn carriages by the barbarians and pulled into Yancheng one by one. The players' eyes turned red when they saw this scene. They all looked at Niu Bu, waiting for his orders.
"Stay away from the official roads and check along the way to see if you can sneak attack or rob those who are alone!"
Niu Bu led the players to go around Beiting from the west. Fortunately, the Northern Frontier area was vast, and most of it was endless desert, otherwise Niu Bu would have no way to bypass Beiting.
Most of the cities in the northern border stand alone in the desert. Niu Bu leads the players away from the official road. They bypass Beiting from the west and continue to move southward.
As they got farther and farther away from Beiting, the surrounding scenery began to change.
The brown land slowly appeared under everyone's feet. In the endless desert, there were some trees with no leaves fallen from time to time. Seeing that the surrounding scene was no longer dominated by yellow-brown, Niu Bu and other players looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
They are about to enter a completely new map.
Spanning nearly two thousand kilometers from Yancheng to the south, they finally walked out of the northern border, out of the desert, and entered a completely new map.
Excited, extremely excited.
Although the players moved southward without saying a word, their joy was written on their faces.
"Brother Niu, look, there seems to be a group of soldiers making corrections ahead!"
A player lowered his voice and suddenly pointed to a group of bonfires on the official road in the distance and said, "The players who had been driving south from Beiting for almost an hour were suddenly shocked when they heard this.
"Lao Chen, go check it out and see what's going on over there!"
Niu Bu sent a servant to investigate the situation. A few minutes later, the player called Lao Chen returned with exciting news:
"It was the barbarians. A small group of barbarians returned with a full load. Their carriages were full of supplies. I also saw a group of people tied up and still on the carriages."
"Let's go over there and kill them!"
Niu Bu immediately gave orders and led his players to move forward quietly. However, when they were more than two kilometers away from the official road, they were discovered again.
"Who, who is over there?"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"You bastards from Guifang? How dare you sneak attack us here?"
In the distance, the Quanrong soldiers who were camping and resting on the official road quickly ran out of the tents, holding weapons to fight against the unknown enemy. Niu Bu was so depressed at this moment. He and other players had wrapped the horses' hooves with clothes, so how could they be discovered by the enemy?
"kill!"
Now that we've been discovered, let's fight hand to hand!
