Lightning-Fast, the NPCs Were Too Strong!

Just as Gao Linzhi had thought, it wasn't long before someone among the players immediately gave the answer.

"It's this afternoon..."

At this time.

Upon hearing the answer, Prefect Liu was slightly startled, then nodded:

"Yes, that answer is correct."

"As a reward, this Descenders warrior may follow me and be the second to enter the island."

He certainly knew the answer.

However, he didn't expect that these players would react so quickly.

If you were a local, many people would definitely not understand why.

Some people even spend a long time thinking about it there.

Ultimately, only a very few people will be able to come up with it.

But when he looked at the players, he saw that most of them seemed to be just counting.

Almost everyone can figure it out.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.

These Descenders have incredible potential.

Sure enough, when the first person answered correctly, the others were immediately annoyed:

"That's what I think too."

"Isn't this the golden ratio sequence? This sequence has a very obvious pattern..."

"Damn it, that's what I thought at first too, it's just a bit slow to calculate."

"Hehe, there's a formula for this calculation. You just need to apply the formula and you'll get it."

Upon hearing this, Prefect Liu was shocked once again.

Such a difficult problem, yet most of them knew the solution.

Others might not remember it at first, but once someone reminds them, they understand.

This is simply unbelievable.

For a moment, Prefect Liu became very angry again.

After all, that player stole the spotlight.

He was supposed to reveal the answer suddenly when everyone was in shock.

Surprisingly, the other party blurted it out.

What a bunch of clueless idiots!

These lowly people!

I wonder if B should be reserved for the higher-ups?

He quickly realized that these players posed a far greater threat to their dynasty.

He thought to himself, "I must shave their heads and make them obedient subjects!"

Otherwise, we'll have to kick them out.

If these players are allowed to exist, will the local people still obediently follow the orders of their superiors under their influence?

That's impossible.

In fact, some local residents are already disobeying their superiors.

Many people even began to rebel, luring strange creatures and blocking roads.

Previously, the routes to some islands were clear, but they were blocked by strange occurrences brought by some unruly people.

Some strange creatures are stalking types. If two or three villagers are reckless enough to lure it onto their flight path and then die at its hands, the creature will remain there for hundreds of years.

It's like a volcano, lingering there.

If no one tries to rouse it, it will remain motionless.

Now, many people feel that what the players said is more correct.

He needs to find a way to completely drive these players out.

It's best to use it after you've finished.

These players were unaware that their mere response had convinced the governor to either eliminate or exile them.

This stems from the instinctive rejection that feudal officials have of modern players.

They are different species.

They simply cannot tolerate the continued presence of these players.

They lack understanding of hierarchy, are observant of others' expressions, and are incapable of serving tea or wine...

How can this be allowed?

After considering the matter carefully, Prefect Liu smiled and said:

"Thank you to this wise and brave warrior, Registrar, record his merit."

The player was immediately overjoyed.

Little did they know that they had been placed on the enemy's kill list.

"Alright, in that case, let's wait until 4 PM."

The players waited anxiously.

Some people even couldn't resist getting into fights with guys they already had conflicts with.

Fortunately, the time was up.

Sure enough, the huge storm surrounding Haifeng Island gradually subsided, much to the players' amazement.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that such a massive storm had stopped so quickly.

After the storm subsided, the airship slowly approached the island and stopped on a cliff at the edge of the island, where it lowered a rope ladder.

The players then eagerly climbed the ladders and descended.

Prefect Liu glanced greedily at the flying boat before reluctantly disembarking.

He turned to a player and asked, "How do you control this airship?"

"No one controls it. We just tell it where we want to go, and it flies there on its own," the player said casually after hearing this.

Prefect Liu frowned and waved for the player to leave.

This lowly commoner, upon seeing me, neither knelt nor addressed me respectfully as "sir" or "lord," but simply replied bluntly that if I were one of his own, I would have been beaten to death long ago.

At this moment, Gao Linzhi also disembarked from the flying boat.

He knew that there should be Longevity Water on Haifeng Island, but whether or not they could obtain Longevity Water depended on the methods of the players and the governor.

This is a volcanic island, and they were landed directly on the mountainside by the airship.

After disembarking from the flying boat, the group had barely stood on the cliff edge when they eagerly began searching for a way down.

Just then, a squad of soldiers suddenly appeared out of thin air and surrounded the group.

Many players were immediately taken aback.

Among the soldiers, the leader was a Red Robe Young General, with red lips and white teeth, dressed in the typical attire of a military general from traditional Chinese opera.

The Red Robe Young General, wielding a tattered silver spear, pointed it directly at the players:

"You bandits, why have you inexplicably trespassed into our Haifeng Island territory? Are you here for the Longevity Water?"

The players looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

Do people here speak so directly?

But Prefect Liu moved forward steadily:

"I am the prefect of Sea Sky Island. Go back and tell your Wind Envoy that the matter of the Longevity Water can be resolved through a wager: 200 wins out of 300 rounds, with the loser voluntarily forfeiting."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't care, but I'd have a hard time explaining myself to the warriors who accompanied me."

The Red Robe Young General was slightly taken aback; he sensed the threat in the other party's voice.

That means doing as he says, and if they fail, he will retreat; if they don't do as he says, then these thousands of people will wreak havoc on the island.

In this way, the entire island would certainly suffer heavy losses.

"You scoundrel! You take other people's things to gamble with! What kind of logic is that?" The Red Robe Young General was furious.

Without saying much, he thrust his silver spear fiercely towards Prefect Liu.

The players were truly amazed.

They finally understood.

This is what it means to have multiple Feudal Lords vying for power at the end of the Han Dynasty.

They're both local officials under the same court, yet they start killing each other as soon as they meet?

Showing absolutely no mercy?

This is clearly not normal.

Prefect Liu did not retaliate; instead, his adjutant drew his sword to block the spear.

The two immediately began fighting.

In an instant, swords flashed and spears clashed, the attacks were ruthless and swift, each strike aimed at vital points.

Most players couldn't even see their movements clearly.

To describe it as lightning fast is an apt description.

Many people's eyes become blurry after only a short time.

They had absolutely no idea how the other side was fighting.

However, Gao Linzhi knew that none of them were really serious.

Because at this moment they were only using physical strength, not mystical power.

In other words, they are still using mortal skills and mortal strength.

So it looks fierce, but in reality, it won't even break through your defenses when it hits you.

It was less of a battle and more of a display of skill between the two sides.

It's mainly for showing off to the players.

Sure enough, many players were stunned by the skillful and deadly moves displayed.

"Wow, that's incredible!"

"How can we compete like this? He'll be defeated in one move!"

"Yes, it's so hard to even see clearly, let alone parry a move."
