Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 123: Celebrate! Intelligence! (Daily, can be skipped)
"Be careful! It's hot! Everyone gets a share!"

"Pan Zi, give me a kick!"

"What did you call me? Young man, are you worthy of eating legs? This leg is for Brother Xiao!"

"That's okay! Brother Pan, that's okay..."

……

Although it was still raining heavily outside, the series of victories made everyone excited.

In addition, Brother Xiao announced that he would be responsible for the vigilance tonight, and everyone else just needed to rest and celebrate.

For a moment, the laughter and joy in the camp seemed to have brought back some lively college fraternity in the past.

Dense raindrops hit the uncovered open space, and the crackling sound made people inevitably sleepy.

Ling Xiao sat at the edge of the camp in a daze, the firelight illuminating his face in a mixture of light and dark.

In fact, after the [Bibo Field] is formed, the task of keeping watch can be completely handled by Ling Xiao alone.

Others cannot see through the rain curtain, but his perception can be greatly extended in it.

However, even someone as powerful as him can have downturns in form, and taking turns on night duty can help members integrate into the group as quickly as possible.

Now we can make an exception.

Although he and Qi Heng dealt with all the tough boss monsters, the others were not just spectators who could only shout "Come on".

The combatants and logistics personnel are all exhausted today.

Looking at the bustling crowd from time to time, Ling Xiao really liked this atmosphere.

And he prefers to stay by and watch others have fun.

Powerful domain perception, extending far, far outward...

"Brother Xiao! Thighs! Absolutely awesome!"

Taking the roasted leg from Pan Hong, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Thanks! Liuliu died in battle. I'll help you catch another one when I have the chance!"

"Hey! Thank you in advance, Brother Xiao!"

Pan Hong has come out of the haze of losing his beastmaster.

After listening to Ling Xiao's comfort, he didn't think it was just a casual remark.

Facts have proved that Brother Xiao is a man who truly “keeps his word”!

Whether it was the earlier interactions before they even met, or the later personal leadership.

Brother Xiao and Brother Dao.

These two strangers of the same age.

It brings a full sense of security to [Light of Qingshan]!

To this day, no one disapproves of their status and command, and no one even complains in private.

Especially after hearing about other people's experiences and the intrigues of other guilds in the channel, Pan Hong and others felt that they were so lucky to have met two such top-notch leaders!
"Sit anywhere,"

Ling Xiao nodded to the somewhat reserved Li Xiang and asked casually, "Have you finished eating? This piece is good. How about I tear it apart for you to try?"

"Thank you, Brother Xiao!"

Li Xiang did not refuse but respectfully agreed to Ling Xiao's suggestion. After taking the fragrant barbecue, he took two bites and got straight to the point.

"I have some information on the matter you asked me to inquire about, but I don't know which part you would like to hear first."

"Don't bother with all that fancy talk, about yours and yours."

Ling Xiao said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "There are only a few of us here? Are you trying to flatter me?"

"We don't have a bureaucratic system of hierarchies here. I'm not commanding you all just to be second only to the emperor."

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Xiao, you are really different from those leaders!"

Li Xiang sent another one without leaving any trace.

But Ling Xiao saw through it at a glance, shook his head and laughed: "Testing me? Haha..."

"Stop it. You're being too clever. If you keep saying this kind of nonsense, it will only make me think that recruiting you was a mistake."

He looked at Li Xiang calmly.

When the latter was at a loss, he said calmly: "You are a smart person. You should know what the explorer's top priority is."

"When the Green Mountain Light begins to fight for power and divide its territory, it means we too are beginning to decay and decline..."

"What I was doing back then is none of my business now. But right now, I need to hear your objective and rigorous news. That's your value!"

"understand!"

Li Xiang's back felt a little sticky, and the cold sweat that seeped out made his clothes stick to his skin.

He couldn't help but sit up straight, tense his back and shake off his clothes.

By the way, it also allows me to get to know the young man in front of me again.

Fortunately, the divine light in Ling Xiao's eyes "went out" after just looking at him for a while.

He started to gnaw on the roasted leg in his hand again and gave the first topic.

"It's hard to tell about your talent, but you're very sensitive to data and other information."

"Do you understand the capital flow in the trading zone? Where is the current trend?"

He concentrated his mind and didn't dare to waste any more time.

Li Xiang briefly sorted out the information he had gathered, and immediately gave the answer in a clear and quick tone.

"Armor! Ordinary-grade armor, to be exact!"

Originally, he would definitely brag about the contributions of the forge and Brother Xiao, but now Li Xiang is very "pragmatic".

At least in front of Ling Xiao, there is no unnecessary nonsense.

"After enduring the initial ordeal of the [Rainfall Torrent] version, most people noticed the increased difficulty."

“The heavy rain hindered our movements, making it extremely difficult to explore the map and collect resources. Furthermore, the sudden appearance of monsters also resulted in an increasing number of casualties.”

"Life-saving gear like armor is in short supply right now! Especially for gear of [Ordinary] quality and above, prices in the trading area remain high."

Li Xiang didn't say much.

But Ling Xiao knew very well that attack power was no longer so important now.

Except for a very small number of people and a few guilds, the other survivors are basically frightened by the rain!
Not to mention the clear vision during the day, the gray fog at night can at least be slightly dispersed by fire.

But the heavy rain that falls day and night makes the visibility almost zero for people without special abilities!
Not to mention other people, even the hunting teams formed into groups.

After losing Ling Xiao's command, they could only fight monsters at a closer range.

Without Ling Xiao's "complete map" to guide them, how could they have fought their way to the top of the mountain and killed so many monsters without any casualties?

Vision doesn't help.

But when it comes to armor, Hammer Sister has something to say...

Thanks to the abundant raw materials from [Light of Green Mountain] and the unconditional trust of Ling Xiao and others.

Hammer Sister and several other [Craftsmen] maximized their professional talents.

One magical drawing after another was created.

Among them, the more feasible projects such as Fire Thunder and Junkrat Armor were directly put into production!
This efficiency is inseparable from the strong support of the guild, and the rewards they bring are not just arming their own people.

"What is the current production volume of armor? What is the quality ratio?"

Li Xiang's brain almost instantly found the answer, and he immediately replied, "We can produce twenty pieces of armor per hour, half of which are low-quality and half are ordinary." "Fortunately, the forge has been repaired to [Excellent], and the upper limit of the blueprint is there. As long as my proficiency increases, the output and the ratio will continue to increase."

"By the way, Brother Xiao, the one you have is the first piece of fine-grade armor produced."

"Well, I know that..."

"Every combatant must be equipped with double armor, and every support staff member must also have armor, and the minimum armor must be [Ordinary]."

Ling Xiao chewed the fragrant lizard meat, and after a brief mental calculation, he asked again, "After completing this goal, I want to sell a batch privately. How long do you think it will take? Which guilds would be most suitable?"

"If the furnace doesn't go out tonight, we'll be able to meet the guild's needs before nine tomorrow morning."

Li Xiang hesitated for a moment and then reminded: "Brother Xiao, if we sell this armor to other people, I'm afraid..."

"I understand your concerns,"

Ling Xiao spoke directly, "It's simply because I'm worried that this thing might be too helpful. What if it causes trouble when competing for the rankings?"

"But there's no need to be so timid about preparing for a rainy day. This level of protection is actually a bit outdated."

He pointed at himself, "That strongest leader almost burned through my armor. Protective gear is never as important as weapons!"

"As long as I grow stronger quickly enough, how can this help become a stumbling block!?"

Looking at the strong emotions that rarely appeared on that young face.

Even someone as complicated as Li Xiang couldn't help but be impressed by Ling Xiao's confidence and arrogance.

He has the capital.

And no one in the entire district is more qualified than him to make such big claims!

There's no need to call Sister Hammer to give you instructions, just send a message directly.

After Ling Xiao arranged the overtime production task for tonight, he also asked about the unforgettable thorn.

"By the way, [Gathering Hall], and the [Loyal and Brave Society] you mentioned, how are things going now? Are there any new moves?"

Li Xiang woke up from his brief trance and quickly replied, "Yes!"

His tone also rose slightly, obviously he had discovered something unusual.

"They've become a second-tier guild! Logically, this is absolutely impossible!"

"All major guilds have imposed a trade blockade on them. Even if some minor characters are still doing business with them, they absolutely can't help them gather the resources they need to upgrade!"

"I'm strictly monitoring the quantity and flow of various materials on the market. Even if a few have flowed to [Juyi Hall], it's definitely not enough!"

Perhaps feeling that his speech was less persuasive, Li Xiang added, "My talent allows me to record all the data that appears. Combined with the store's sales records, there will definitely be no omissions!"

"And they're notorious, known for their murderous nature! How could anyone dare to negotiate a deal privately? Aren't they afraid of being beaten to death?"

"So the key lies in this [Loyal and Brave Society]!"

Li Xiang became more and more interested as he talked, so he simply picked up a wooden stick and started writing and drawing on the ground.

"Upgrading resources is the opportunity to expose their connection. Even if you happen to find a nearby forest or boulder, other materials must be obtained from monsters."

"And I have a lot of 'informants', most of whom I've only had a few private conversations with. But after compiling information from all sides, I came to a conclusion."

He drew a mark between the two circles on the ground. "The Loyal and Brave Society is definitely a branch of the Gathering Hall!"

"The former lures those who desperately need to join the guild to escape the rain, while the latter lies in ambush nearby, waiting for these people to teleport down and then kill them!"

"The guild rankings are based not only on the members' overall level but also on their kill points. This was also the reason Juyi Hall was initially exposed."

"But the killing value of this newly formed [Loyal and Brave Society] is very 'clean', so people have been deceived!"

"I had an informant who sent me a warning before he died."

Li Xiang sighed and sent the chat history to Ling Xiao.

"With him, I dare to confirm the truth..."

Looking at the brief but desperate message, Ling Xiao suddenly felt that the barbecue in his mouth had lost its taste.

Why do people have to hurt each other?!
We've ended up in this damn place!

Instead of thinking about helping each other to survive, they are trying to turn others into "nutrients" for survival!
Damn!

Damn it!!
"We can't let them do this..."

Ling Xiao was determined that even if he couldn't directly strike out and eliminate these villains, he would still expose their dirty faces.

This is not only a basic concept of good and evil for human beings, but also a way to prevent more ignorant people from becoming food for the enemy.

The guild is both a help and a hindrance.

He really wanted to start a duel right away and lead the [Light of Green Mountain] to annihilate all these beasts!

Ling Xiao now has this confidence!

But he could not guarantee that there would be no casualties in the battle between the two sides.

Even though he was the strongest fighter in the region, Ling Xiao wouldn't dare to be so arrogant...

beat?
Or endure?
A dilemma.

And in the end, they can only choose the one that causes the least harm to their own guild.

Because these nearly one hundred people trusted me and entrusted their lives and property to me.

Ling Xiao really couldn't put their lives on the gambling table for the so-called "righteousness" or "right and wrong".

Good and evil, right and wrong.

Sometimes it really is just a fairy tale in my mind...

Pros and cons, gains and losses.

Individuals and groups are entangled, making it so difficult for people to move forward but can only move in a direction they don't want to go...

"Continue to find out relevant information! And think about your speech."

"Once we've completed the armor deals with a few other reliable guilds, we'll get them to speak out together and expose these bastards!"

"You're smart. Think about how to kill them with one final blow."

Li Xiang was flattered and left.

Since he couldn't fight head-on, Ling Xiao had no choice but to make this plan.

Bad guys are cunning, and good guys sometimes have to be even more cunning than bad guys to protect themselves.

This isn't right, but there's nothing I can do...

"Damn! Sigh..."

Sighing, Ling Xiao chose to fire a shot to relax.

The bounty jar dropped by the LV20 boss monster must contain some good stuff, right?
Amidst the crisp sound, a green light quietly emerged!
[Beast Blood Refining and Body Tempering Technique]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Conditions: Strength or Constitution reaches 10 or either reaches 20]

[Special Effects: 1. Bloodthirst (Produces a [thirst] for the spiritually rich blood of powerful creatures); 2.

But it seems to have some negative effects.

But this is the first time Ling Xiao has seen an item that can improve attributes through "cultivation"!

Is this a training system that can be continuously advanced?!
