New Year's Greeting Swordplay
"You have killed one juvenile Sunlight Jellyfish, bringing your total number of Sunlight Jellyfish killed to 635."
"Your Quick Resurrection count +1 (635)"
"I've worked so hard for so long."
"I only managed to accumulate about 600 ' Quick Resurrection '."
"The margin for error is still too low..."
It slowly squeezed out from the large door of the small Magic Conch.
Roger wasn't too pleased with himself.
Based on his experience of playing with life.
If we really have to face Vilan.
These six hundred-plus "resurrection coins" are definitely not enough.
At the very least.
You'd need at least ten thousand lives, right?
fortunately.
The progress bar for the Sin Mark also understands him very well.
After this wave of killings...
The progress bar has only moved forward a little bit.
This means that Roger has a very deep connection with the Sunlight Jellyfish!
It's definitely not the kind of superficial friendship that can be easily dismissed.
From a long-term perspective.
Roger left one-third of the jellyfish larvae inside the Magic Conch.
He then assigned two research-savvy guys from the Logistics Group to be specifically in charge of the "cultivation of Sunlight Jellyfish".
One of them was nicknamed "A'Dai".
This guy may look dull, but he's actually very smart.
He made contributions to "Atomization Sprayer", "Dragon-Catching Ballista", and "poison smoke tactics".
The other person was nicknamed "A'Cu".
Don't let his big, burly appearance fool you.
In reality, he is rough around the edges but meticulous at heart.
Many of the insidious little details in the design of various hunting tools were his creations.
These two are also the most researcher-like among the Logistics Group members.
After a simple round of personnel changes.
The two then returned to the Underground Camp with the Magic Conch and began to immerse themselves in its research.
This was also Roger's first attempt at his good friend's artificial breeding project.
In the past.
On the one hand, it is limited by material conditions.
Roger was not capable of actively breeding and raising monsters.
On the other hand, most monsters cannot be tamed, let alone raised.
This "Sunlight Jellyfish" phenomenon presents the perfect opportunity.
After a round of inventory.
Roger discovered another advantage of the poison smoke tactic.
That means it won't cause too much damage to the spoils of war—it's much better than fire attacks.
After this battle...
Almost all of the supplies at the Red Robe Camp fell into Roger's hands! It was only because Roger had a large number of men, ample storage items, and even a bus and magic carpet.
Replace them with someone else.
Even if we capture the camp.
Moving things alone takes a long time.
I did a quick scan of the spoils.
Roger then emphasized some points to note.
Then he let Wu Gu do it.
Very soon.
Under Wu Gu's guidance, the Quasi-Horned Demon began to systematically dismantle the supplies.
Some were incorporated into Tinder Pouch or Black Coffin.
The rest were transported onto the magic carpet in batches.
And in this process.
The wolves had originally planned to just watch the show from the sidelines.
Who would have thought?
Their leader actually ran over to help, all excited!
At Sake's request.
A short while later.
He was covered in things.
Sake continued howling as he walked:
"Owner!"
Did you see that?
"No one knows more about transporting goods than me!"
Seeing this scene.
The wolves couldn't sit still any longer.
He had no choice but to sheepishly step forward to help.
With the help of the wolf pack.
Transportation efficiency has been improved to a new level.
The camp was littered with corpses.
It was a lively and bustling work atmosphere.
Even Roger found it somewhat eerie...
On the data panel.
"Your new milestone - loyal Sake has set a new record."
"Loyal Sake: Sake and the wolves have become your image."
Ignoring the Milestone System, which has countless flaws.
Roger calmed down and thought it over.
In general.
This battle was full of both surprises and unexpected events.
Surprisingly, the Red Robe Camp was basically no match for them.
Through "Echo Orb".
Roger learned that the true elite of the Red Robes had formed an "Investigation Team".
They set off into the heart of the forest in search of clues to the "Golden House".
So, strictly speaking...
He only wiped out a garrison unit.
The surprise lies in...
The spoils captured in this wave were quite impressive.
First, it was a "Magic Trampoline" taken from Rodman.
This is a one-time use magical item.
After consumption.
It will form a spatial "stepping stone" under the user's feet.
Users only need a little training and to master the correct posture for exerting force.
"Jump pads" can help you quickly complete a movement that is close to "blinking" or "teleportation".
The advantages of the Magic Trampoline are:
As long as you have it, you can use it indefinitely; there's no cooldown period.
The downside is that it's not a true blinking or teleportation.
Not only will it be slower, but the distance will also be only about 30 meters.
Moreover, it is very expensive to build.
For the monks.
The Magic Trampoline is actually a bit of a gimmick.
The requirement for making this thing is that you must be Extraordinary Mage.
However, Extraordinary Mage only needs to climb a little higher to reach LV60.
At that time, you can learn the 7th-level spell "Anywhere Door".
Therefore, this thing doesn't appear very often.
But for Roger now...
These 14 Magic Trampoline are the best killing weapons!...
Secondly, there's the Transcendent Weapon Rodman possesses.
"Serpent Scale Whip (Whip/Extraordinary)"
Rating: SS+
"Attributes: Strength +1 / Agility +1"
Enchantment: Python Assault
"Python Assault: The Serpent Scale Whip will transform into a giant python with seven rings that will coil around and devour enemies."
"Torture Mode: Anyone hit by this weapon will experience 500% more pain."
"Fun Mode: You can increase the affection of certain people for you by whipping them."
I don't know why.
The first thing I saw when I saw the "torture mode" was...
Roger's mind was filled with thoughts like, "Wouldn't this thing, combined with ' Nuo Ou's Binding Chains,' be ten times more pleasurable?"
Let's put aside all this nonsense.
This whip is a good weapon.
It is suitable for achieving victory through surprise.
It can also make up for Roger's lack of interrogation skills and his reliance on pinching the Echo Orb.
The third item is those four sets of "Barrier Flag".
The term "barrier" is not an original creation of the magic civilization.
The Mountain Protection Array at the headquarters of the Clear Spring Sect is a kind of barrier.
Unfortunately, the art of creating barriers based on the earth's veins has been lost.
Nowadays, the magical barriers that are popular are all driven by elements.
The core of a magical barrier is this "Barrier Flag".
It is based on this, supplemented by materials such as spell scrolls and Ether Powder.
This allows for the creation of large-scale magical barriers.
This was very useful for Roger, who was gradually moving towards large-scale hunting.
The other resources and items in the camp were not particularly outstanding.
But they are all very practical.
This included large quantities of wood, iron blocks, metal strips, rare metals, gems, flour, dried meat, sausages, magic water bags, weapons, poisons, tents, sleeping bags, insect repellent powder, magical stoves, Aluminum Strip, flint, telescopes, inflatable dolls...
"These are all great things!"
"The only problem is..."
"I need more ' Tinder Pouch '!"
He gently patted the small reddish-brown bag at his waist.
Roger thought he would wait until this battle was over.
I need to find out where there are more Harpy.
Thanks to the hard work of the Quasi-Horned Demon and the wolf pack.
That evening.
The entire Red Robe Camp was swept away in an instant.
Roger waved.
He led everyone to evacuate the area.
Three days later.
The heart of the Primitive Forest.
The torrential rain continued relentlessly.
A Giant Tree Species was planted.
A fierce-looking Rainforest Frogman placed a harpoon on the constantly rolling campfire.
An enticing aroma wafted through the air.
On the harpoon.
It was carrying a large bunch of "Demonized Squirrel".
The thick iron rod pierced through both ends of the Demonized Squirrel.
They were stripped of their fur.
Staring wide-eyed.
He looked like he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Under the tree.
The three Rainforest Frogman are passionately expressing something.
Right above them.
On the tree trunk, which is about three stories high.
A faint shadow was rapidly approaching the Giant Tree Species where the Rainforest Frogman were located.
They dodged the torrential rain.
Roger successfully climbed onto the heads of the three "Rainforest Frogman".
"These three Rainforest Frogman are having such a heated discussion."
Something must have happened!
He couldn't understand what the frogmen were saying.
But "Extraordinary Perception" can! The next moment.
On the data panel.
"Extraordinary Perception: The frogmen are fiercely debating how to cook the Demonized Squirrel."
Roger's face darkened.
However, this time he decided not to rush.
I chose to listen patiently.
But the more I listened, the more something seemed off.
The three Rainforest Frogman chatted about "the cooking methods of the Demonized Squirrel" and then about "how good my sister-in-law is to me"...
Immediately afterwards.
The conversation then shifted to the point that "my sister-in-law is nice to everyone, except my brother."
Later on...
It's basically turned into "Which family's sister-in-law is the best?"...
Roger listened for a full hour.
He finally couldn't stand these gossipy Rainforest Frogman anymore! Who knew he was just about to take action.
One of the frogmen suddenly mentioned, "I recently ate a human. The taste was incredibly delicious, much better than the Demonized Squirrel."
Roger's heart skipped a beat.
He believed that the clues he had been painstakingly pursuing were finally about to yield results.
But the next sentence.
That guy suddenly changed the subject.
He's gone to talk about his sister-in-law again...
Roger was so angry that he didn't say a word.
They were directly Sin Mark!
very good.
The system determined that the "Rainforest Frogman" meets the definition of a monster.
Roger didn't hesitate at all.
Let's charge!
Screw listening patiently.
Let's meet again at Echo Orb!...
The next moment.
A sharp, cold light flashed.
The Rainforest Frogman were caught off guard.
One of them was cleaved in two by Roger! And during this process...
Roger used a little trick he had just figured out in the last couple of days.
This technique can compensate for Roger's physical deficiencies.
That means actively bending your knees significantly when chopping down.
This can greatly relieve pressure on the ankles and knees.
At the same time, the possibility of continuous outbreaks is also preserved.
Judging from actual performance.
This technique is quite good.
With one strike.
Frogmen dismembered the body.
Several lines of information also floated across the data bar.
"By using your self-created techniques to achieve a kill in actual combat, you have reached a new milestone - the New Year's Greeting Swordplay."
"New Year's Greeting Swordplay: No, no, this gift is too heavy."
"Corresponding title: The Polite Swordsman (Recognition from elders +10)"
In the blink of an eye.
Roger didn't have time to look closely.
He swung his axe repeatedly.
Soon after, the other two women who were fans of the "sister-in-law" pairing left.
"Based on historical experience..."
"Frogmen have always been the best choice for good brothers."
Too lazy to complain about this new milestone.
Roger scrolled up the data bar with great anticipation.
In the battle log.
"You killed a Rainforest Frogman"
"Your athlete's foot has improved slightly."
"... except for Rainforest Frogman."
Roger shook his head in anger.
He bent down and picked up the Echo Orb from one of the frogmen.
It was at this moment.
A sudden sense of unease arose in his mind.
"Sixth Sense: You are about to encounter Vera, the vice-captain of the 'Elite Investigation Team,' a member of the ' Nine Seats Council,' and ' Vilan's Daughter.'"
