These players are more cunning than cunning

Chapter 634 NPC Mentor, the Emergence of a New Type of Embers
Duang Duang!

Heat waves were rolling in the blacksmith shop.

When Ning Zheng pushed the door open, she saw a group of young blacksmiths shamelessly surrounding Lei Hammer Gong, flattering him and practicing their acting skills.

"My Lord, you are amazing."

"My admiration for you is like a surging river, endless."

"Sir, I heard that your son died young and his dream was to eat cooked food. I also love cooked food. Look at me."

Ning Zheng: “.”

A bunch of little bastards.

I actually came here to refresh the NPC's favorability.

He has only been here for a few days and you are just serving tea and water here, and you lick him like this.

But the good news is that these guys have made many mistakes and exposed themselves.
The acting skills have indeed improved greatly!

Now, he has learned how to disguise himself and will not jump out of the forge in front of the big guys. He has become a decent human being and an experienced high-level "pseudo-human" who can almost perfectly simulate the natives.

"My lord, you are here."

"Old steward, ah! Yes, your majesty is here."

Several blacksmiths discovered Ning Zheng and came over happily.

We have been completely transformed and have taken over the magpie's nest.

The blacksmiths became palace maids and eunuchs, and the old steward also put on a handsome sea tribe dragon robe and dressed up properly.

An epic story update!

However, although our identities have changed, our habits of coming to the blacksmith shop have not changed at all.

Daojiujiu habitually took out his new product:
"Old Guan, look, Your Majesty, we have improved the new version of the coral ball under the guidance of the first master craftsman of the sea clan!"

He took out the Bone Demon Sect’s flagship product.

Now, after the improvement of the formula, this magic weapon has become stronger and more powerful, making these blacksmiths ecstatic.

"They don't bother you, do they?" Ning Zheng looked at this respected old man.

"No way."

Lei Chuigong's face was flushed, as if he had regained his youth, and he was full of energy and spirit. "They are all a bunch of good children, good and studious children! !"

Ning Zheng was silent for a moment.

Lord Leichui praised them highly, "You, the bone demon clan, have excellent blacksmith talents. They are passionate, ambitious, kind, humble, and hardworking. They are constantly forging for the people of the world and are ready to research standardized weapons to benefit the people."

After listening for a while, Ning Zheng roughly understood: Such a nice and simple old man was blown away by these guys.

If Xinyi Baishan and Doukouhong were any educated people on the human side, they would not have taken the bait so quickly.

It can be seen that the customs of the Hai people are still very simple.

But this is also due to the good impression at first sight.

The bone monster clan includes the wise king Bone King and the famous detective Yan Shuangying. The rest of the bone monsters are passionate and righteous, so what bad intentions could they have?

With preconceived ideas, these acting-good blacksmiths would probably make even the smarter and stronger ones believe them when they try to deceive others.

“They’re all good.”

Lord Leichui laughed and said, "There are many middle-grade blacksmiths, and there are also several top-grade blacksmiths. Especially Dao Jiujiu, he is getting quite close to becoming a master blacksmith."

Ning Zheng nodded and said calmly, "That's great."

These blacksmiths were all upgraded using the experience book "Summoning Gods Plate".

But because the blacksmith is not afraid of death and has a resurrection mechanism, the "Summoning God Tablet" does not have the side effects of taking over other people's bodies or affecting personality, so it can reach this level so quickly.

But the highest level of "inviting god tablet" is only for a top-grade blacksmith.

Because the more advanced summoning tablets need to be made by the turbid spirits of the divine craftsmen, where are so many divine craftsmen?
The production of each summoning tablet symbolizes the fall of a high-level profession, which is no joke.

They have reached the level of top-grade blacksmiths, and the next bottleneck will depend on their understanding.

Having the sea clan's greatest craftsman help as a master and teach Dao Jiujiu is a great help.

This is the essence!!

Before, Ning Zheng didn’t dare to let Xinyi Baishan and others teach them because Xirong, the master craftsman, was too high-class.

But here, you can consolidate your foundation and learn from famous teachers.

Ning Zheng took a look at the blacksmith shop, and Dao Jiujiu began to introduce: "Our master is now using thunder forging. Fire quenching is not popular in the sea tribe due to geographical reasons."

"Because a lot of air is needed, the blacksmiths at the bottom can't afford it, so there are basically only two methods left here: thunder forging and water quenching."

Ning Zheng listened roughly.

The forging method of the sea people is unique.

Electric heating.

Tempering with special spiritual water.

The Thunder Hammer Fish is a kind of fish that can generate electricity, which is perfect for blacksmithing.

This man is a rising star in the sea clan. He has no background or family background. His son starved to death in a great famine and his wife was carried away by seabirds. He led his clan to rise on his own. He is only over 8,000 years old and his life can be written into a legendary story.

This made Ning Zheng sigh with emotion. It was not only the human race that had geniuses and talented people, but also monsters.

"try hard."

Ning Zheng said to Dao Jiujiu and the others, "Study hard, watch carefully, and help this person research something useful to serve the country and the sea race!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

they shouted.

They are going to demonstrate a new forge jumping gameplay in a few days.

Before, I jumped on a stove.

Now, jumping into electric heating furnace and water pressure furnace, the gameplay must be very fresh.

"Senior, please don't give us face. Punish them as much as you want, beat and scold them. If they commit a crime, just execute them directly." Ning Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to these animals. He turned around and left with Yan Shuangying.

Soon, Ning Zheng passed by other areas, including the spiritual farm, the alchemy room, and the tailor shop.

We also see various blacksmiths trying to seduce and make friends with the new NPC professional mentors.

He casually opened the forum and saw that all the posts in the past few days were:

"The Great Career Era: Woohoo, the NPC mentor finally appeared"

《Breaking news! The NPC mentor of Lingnong has a hidden apprenticeship mission, the specific process is as follows!》

"On the new era map, the palace, what is its significance to the Sword Forging Villa!"

Ning Zheng was too lazy to read any more.

Anyway, the oldest batch of players in my group are basically already mid- and high-level professions, and have reached the backbone level. It's just right for them to follow the god-level professions.

Soon, Ning Zheng arrived at her destination.

click!
Push open the heavy iron door.

What comes into view are glass cylinders, inside which are imprisoned various kinds of embers.

Aunt Xian and other players from the Ember Labs were all here wearing white coats, doing research and having crazy discussions.

The leader is a soul-focused miracle doctor.

Yin Yuyao of the Yin Yuyu clan is a beautiful and plump woman with a fish head.

It fits the aesthetic of their race very well, and she is probably also a beauty in the tribe. After all, some blacksmiths have been secretly brushing this NPC. She is so beautiful and has a great figure. I want to have a French kiss with her fish head.

Yin Yuyao saw Ning Zheng, strode over and said, "Your Majesty, we just discovered the Ghost King half a day ago!"

"Huh?" Ning Zheng was stunned. "We have discovered the Ghost King here?"

Yin Yuyao said with a heavy face, "Yes, two ghost kings were born on the human side, and we roughly know what happened."

She pointed to a glass cover, inside of which was a terrifying monster emitting the aura of the Ghost King.

Ning Zheng took a look.

A sub-human creature with a large head and a small body, and its proportions are extremely exaggerated.

How exaggerated?
It looks like a grasshopper human with a huge football head. The mouth of the head is huge and full of densely packed teeth.

It gives people a manic, dark and evil feeling, as if countless crazy wills are gathered together.

"Is this the Gui King? How could the Gui King have no self?" Ning Zheng frowned, "What's going on?"

"Here's what happened." Yin Yuyao briefly described their research on the Embers.

Because they also discovered that putting together similar embers of obsession could speed up the process of awakening.

then.

They pieced together the embers of "I want to be full", a common phrase among the sea people.

Because the sea people are backward, many sea slaves starved to death, and there are many remnants of this kind of obsession, so it is easy to find this kind of experimental subjects.

But after they put together more than a hundred of them, the strong obsession of "I want to be full" became extremely strong, reached its peak, and entered the extreme threshold of awakening.

After that, they fed the embers to him, fed him madly, and awakened him.
So, I woke up.

The Gui King appears.

At the beginning, this Ash King was quite rational, with a main consciousness serving as the "Main Ash" in control, and he found himself awakened inexplicably.

The two sides had a good chat and the other party was also very rational, like a normal Ghost King.

But it didn't take long before something strange happened. The other party became increasingly hungry and began to frantically look for food.

Then he started to go crazy, became twisted, became manic, and began to eat people.

Moreover, the strong obsession - I want to eat enough - completely dominated my consciousness and controlled my body.

"So, this Ghost King has become like this." Yin Yuyao pointed at this thing and said coldly: "His potential is huge, very huge, but also very crazy!"

"If he is not still weak, we will not feed him the ghosts to grow. If this ghost king grows up, it will cause a huge disaster."

Ning Zheng nodded.

He understood very well how fast a free Ghost King would grow.

Eat ghosts and you will grow!
Eat to the limit, the bottom line is a state of mind.

How many people in the whole of Kyushu and Sihai can have the state of one mind? Every generation of saint sons and saint daughters that each force focuses on cultivating may not be able to achieve it.

This is the power of the Ghost King!

What's more, the current 50% chance of dropping a monster upon death is simply a paradise for the growth of the Monster King.

"Can this Ghost King be controlled?" Ning Zheng said, "You should know that if we can control him, he will be the strongest army of our Sea Clan."

"We are still researching. This kind of spliced [obsession] awakened ghost king has desires greater than himself." Yin Yuyao said: "Also, it's still good that it appeared in the laboratory. If it breaks out in the wild, it will form a horrific natural disaster."

Yin Yuyao said: "But you have to know that the probability of the same obsession appearing is relatively high. For example, in a disaster area during a turbulent time, all the victims died of starvation. Their obsession before death is basically "I want to be full". The probability of them merging together after death in an area is very high."

"For example, I massacred a whole college because many of the students there were obsessed with "I want to be successful and famous". Their mortality rate was 50%, and the probability of that happening when added together was very high."

Ning Zheng fully realized the seriousness of the situation.

Kill everyone in an academy, stack them up, and piece them together, and there is a high probability that a mutated Ghost King like this will appear.

They are dominated by awakened obsessions, and the conditions for killing are even purer.

Also, they are not earthbound spirits.

The Gui King does not need to take root and can pull himself out of the earth veins, which is equivalent to moving the ancestral tomb. Wherever he moves, you must abide by the rules of killing.

Ning Zheng frowned: "This kind of ghost king is very easy to create artificially. A malicious person with ulterior motives can deliberately pile up a pile of embers similar to the awakening conditions, and it will be born directly."

"Yes!" Yin Yuyao said.

In the future, there will definitely be many such strange kings, bringing disaster to the times and forming a new and terrifying species in this era of great evolution.

The Ghost King, whose upper limit is one state of mind, can be directly mass-produced.

Any few hundred mortals with the same obsession can appear if they are stacked together.

After this, will ordinary people still have a way to survive?

Yin Yuyao said:
"I just called my friends in the human race. After several inquiries, they admitted that they had also discovered this kind of ghost king. We briefly discussed it and called this kind of [ghost] the [demon ghost]."
