"Crazy! This is really crazy!"
"This version update is too exaggerated. So many new features unlocked at once. Are the game developers trying to knock us out with surprise?"
"Weapons! We can actually exchange for weapons!"
After reading the version update content on the notice board, everyone felt a sense of being completely stunned.
They had thought that after the game developers released a new map, there wouldn't be any major moves for a while. But they never expected the surprises to come so quickly.
Not only could they exchange for weapons, but even the vehicle rental function had been unlocked. The increase in new gameplay wasn't just a little bit; it had completely opened up a new era.
"That A5 Composite Longbow costs fifty thousand points?" Fang Zhen looked at the weapon exchange list, his initially burning heart suddenly chilling considerably.
Although he had known that the weapons used by NPCs wouldn't be cheap, he hadn't expected them to be so expensive.
"Brother Zhen, what about that 15,000-point composite bow?" the Outlander Gunslinger beside him asked excitedly.
The Outlander Gunslinger had no hope for the A5 Composite Longbow worth fifty thousand points. After all, at best, he only earned a little over 20 points a day, and the Blood Essence Rice he planted wouldn't be harvested for another ten days.
Fifty thousand points was something he couldn't even dare to think about, but fifteen thousand points still offered some possibility. At least, if he worked hard for a month, it was possible to earn fifteen thousand points.
"That composite bow is also quite good," Fang Zhen thought about the arrows shot by the NPCs from the White Feather Gang before.
The power and range were fine, but it was just a bit worse than the composite bow that the Guild Master Lin Qi had tried. Everything else was pretty good.
"Sister Wu, should we pool our resources to rent that Electric Tricycle?" Twilight of the Gods' eyes lit up as he looked at the Electric Tricycle on the exchange list. "With that Electric Tricycle, we can go to the Grizzly Mine to transport ore and wood anytime. We'll definitely earn more than digging holes."
"Renting that Electric Tricycle is indeed very profitable, but you've seen the situation in the wilderness," Luo Wu Shang shook her head slightly. "The NPCs made it very clear in the story that it's easy to be attacked in the wild, and the Electric Tricycle would also be targeted. If we don't have enough strength, not only will we not earn any points, but we might even lose everything."
"I agree with Wu Shang's idea. In the long run, renting the Electric Tricycle is indeed good, but it also depends on one's own strength. This should be a trap deliberately set by the game developers," Zhang Qingwei said after a moment of thought. "If we want to earn a lot of points, the first thing is to accept the main quests released by the Guild Master, and the second is to improve our strength as soon as possible. The simplest way is to exchange for weapons."
"Of course, if we have enough points, we can also exchange for that Smart Watch. With that Smart Watch, doing things will be much more convenient. If we have two, we can even have someone scout ahead in the wild. We can stay in contact within a kilometer, avoiding a lot of trouble."
"So poor." Twilight of the Gods suddenly felt that the 200 points rewarded by Lin Qi were no longer as appealing after hearing this.
There were too many things he wanted right now, but any single item was something he couldn't obtain individually in a short period.
"Everyone, how about we join forces?" One Leaf Floating Cloud proposed after reading everything. "We've all seen the new exchange items. They're all good things, but it's too difficult for us to exchange for them individually."
"So I propose that we temporarily join forces, pool all our points, and rent a vehicle first. Of course, we can't just rent a vehicle; we also need to exchange for at least one or two weapons."
"This way, we'll have both a vehicle and weapons, and we can transport goods every day. Then, everyone's earnings will be split equally."
"I agree to join forces, but not to split equally," Fang Zhen shook his head. "Brother Yi Ye, you didn't go to the wilderness this time, so you don't know the strength and methods of those enemies in the wild. Compared to the points for renting a vehicle, strength is actually the most important thing."
"Those enemies are at least Quasi-Apprentices, and some of the stronger ones have even reached the limit of Quasi-Apprentice. It wouldn't be strange if true Apprentices appear later."
"What does Brother Fang mean?" One Leaf Floating Cloud asked calmly, without refuting. "Do you want us to distribute based on individual strength?"
"That's right. My intention is that a Reserve Quasi-Apprentice counts as one share, a Quasi-Apprentice counts as two shares, and a true Apprentice counts as three shares. That's not too much to ask, is it?" Fang Zhen proposed.
"I agree," Luo Wu Shang nodded. "In the wild, strength is paramount. You get what you're capable of, and you get paid accordingly. That way, no one loses out."
"Alright, we agree too," One Leaf Floating Cloud sighed helplessly and agreed.
Their strength was already inferior, and if they didn't keep up with the main group, they would only fall further behind.
Currently, transporting in the wilderness was like a new way to run dungeons. Every trip was profitable, but the distribution of rewards for defeating bosses, for a random team, naturally depended on contribution.
In an instant, the original three small teams became one team at this moment.
"However, the points for these two weapons are not easy to earn. Even if we join forces, it will probably take nearly half a month to earn them, not to mention the twenty thousand rental fee." One Leaf Floating Cloud looked at the points for the exchange items with a headache. "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Regarding weapons, we only need to exchange for one composite bow. I can exchange for Steel Arrows as a weapon," Luo Wu Shang said.
"I'll also exchange for a Steel Arrow as a weapon," Zhang Qingwei said with a smile. "This way, we'll have three weapons. Next, we need to quickly solve the vehicle rental problem."
"This... I have a way to earn a lot of points in a short period," Twilight of the Gods raised his hand and said. "But I'll say this first, this method is very risky, and I want 20% of the points earned."
"20% is fine," Fang Zhen couldn't help but look at Twilight of the Gods curiously, thinking this kid was too unreliable, considering he had kindly taught him the Crushing Stone Fist. "Risk? What risk?"
"As long as we can get enough points in a short time to rent a vehicle, I have no problem with 20% of the points," Luo Wu Shang said, unconcerned. Getting the vehicle first was the priority.
"I have no problem either," One Leaf Floating Cloud looked directly at Twilight of the Gods, wondering what method he could possibly have.
Seeing everyone agree, Twilight of the Gods no longer concealed it. "When I was digging holes before, I discovered a Great Rift about forty meters underground. Sister Wu also knows about this. There are treasure chests in that Great Rift, each worth five hundred points, and there are dozens of them."
"Five hundred points for one treasure chest?" Luo Wu Shang was also surprised when she heard this.
Dozens of treasure chests meant about twenty thousand points, which was exactly enough to rent a vehicle without having to farm for more than twenty days.
"Yes, the profit is huge, but the Guild Master also said that there is a monster there called the Unicorn Gold-Eating Rat. That monster is very strong and intelligent, and it loves metal," Twilight of the Gods said with a wry smile. "If we steal the treasure chests and lead those Unicorn Gold-Eating Rats to the martial arts hall, the Guild Master will directly expel us."
"The risk is indeed not small," Fang Zhen couldn't help but shrink his neck after hearing this.
For them, players, what they feared most was being banned by the system. Being expelled from the game meant missing out on the future.
"Then we just won't lead those monsters here, right?" Zhang Qingwei glared at Twilight of the Gods. "We've all been playing games for so many years, how can you not even know the basic mechanics of aggro pulling?"
"It doesn't matter if we die. We just need one person to lure those monsters away to another place, and while everyone else takes the treasure chests, we'll destroy the evidence afterwards and completely seal off the rift, won't we?"
Twilight of the Gods felt like his high ground of intelligence had been captured.
That Great Rift, wasn't it just the most basic dungeon gameplay in the game?
Just as everyone was discussing in the training grounds, a commotion suddenly erupted on the street outside the martial arts hall. Many vagrants rushed out of the buildings, discussing amongst themselves on the street, even waking up Lin Qi, who was sleeping.
"Brother Qin Mu, did something happen in our abandoned area again?"
"Could it be another vagrant invasion?"
Lin Qi looked at Heavy Spear Qin Mu, who had also walked onto the street, and leaned in to ask.
"Not this time," Qin Mu shook his head and explained kindly. "It's because something big happened in the wilderness yesterday. I heard that two sons of the White Feather Gang's deputy leader died. Now, that deputy leader of the White Feather Gang has sent people to post a bounty here. Anyone who can find the murderer will be rewarded with three hundred thousand Bits!"
