Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 80: Rain Falls and Flows, Newcomers in New District (079)

The gray fog seemed to have turned into a thick, endless layer of leaden clouds, no longer waiting to trap the survivors, but returning to the sky, with its ruthless and condescending attitude, it brought down a torrential rain that covered the entire world.

It is now 12:05 AM.

After a flurry of activity, the "weaker" guild members all went into their tents.

No one dared to sleep, and no one could sleep.

Just a few minutes ago, they were still waiting excitedly for several LV10 bosses to awaken their professions.

Excitement is inevitable, and so is anxiety.

High-end combat forces need to awaken to complete the promotion task, and no one knows how long this process will last.

And they must defend the camp before the bosses return!
In the past, no matter what storms we encountered, we always had Brother Dao, Brother Xiao and Sister Qing to support us, giving us a strong sense of security.

Now it is their turn to shoulder this responsibility, and they are naturally full of determination, but what they have seen and heard over the past few days has also given these members a clear understanding of themselves.

Fortunately, the expected attack did not occur, and all the bosses returned safely.

only……

My memory seemed to be fragmented. As soon as midnight passed, the world mission was completed and a new chapter began.

then……

The rain is falling like crazy...

Accustomed to the light, they fell into a despairing gloom...

This time, are Brother Lian Xiao and the others quite troublesome?

No one dared to ask. The pairs of eyes huddled in the tents only looked anxiously at the three blurry shadows in the darkness and rain.

There is red and green energy circulating outside Lingxiao's body, which prevents water from splashing in and raindrops from penetrating.

Now that the recovery rate of his physical and spiritual strength has been improved, the minimum energy consumption of [Wind and Fire Madness] is still lower than the recovery speed. Now he can completely activate it normally.

Qi Heng and Ye Zhanqing next to them also had their own methods.

Surrounded by lightning, [Thunder Pool] can now be used in many different ways under Qi Heng's increasingly skilled manipulation.

Without exaggeration or understatement, this innate talent alone is enough to equal the effect of equipment, skills, and props combined into one.

Even with bare hands, Qi Heng can possess quite strong fighting power!

There was a cloud of clear air on Ye Zhanqing's body, which seemed to cover a larger area and she was more calm than the other two. In fact, it was because her control of [Qingyun Liuying] had not reached the level of Qi Heng.

Here and now.

In the entire guild, only the three of them can "move freely".

Su Jinxi, Lin Lu, Pu Shi and others are also LV10, but their abilities are not enough to support them to be exposed to the rain for a long time in such extreme weather.

Stretch out your hand and remove the energy from your palm.

Ling Xiao caught a handful of dancing raindrops and looked at them carefully.

The Eye of Identification took a moment to focus before detecting information through the rain.

[Unclean water: Contains trace amounts of pollution. Prolonged contact will cause the pollution to seep in. It can be removed by normal boiling.]

Gazing into the distance, Ling Xiao looked at the boundless expanse of vastness.

After checking the new stage of the world quest again, he realized something and felt something was wrong.

The rain...won't stop.

The palms without the protection of the internal energy felt the weight of the rain.

The feeling of thousands of tons of water falling from the sky and hitting every inch of the ground evenly is like standing at the valve of a flood discharge reservoir.

The force of the raindrops hitting the ground was not painful, but this was Ling Xiao, a professional with a physical fitness of fifteen points.

Ordinary people, especially the low-level explorers who currently make up the largest proportion of Area 61035, probably wouldn’t be able to survive for long in such a rainstorm.

All three of them understood the seriousness of the problem, and the joy of promotion was suppressed before they could even celebrate.

"what to do!?"

Qi Heng lowered his head and gestured to the side, shouting, "I don't think the rain will stop anytime soon! And it won't stop for a damn while!"

"Ordinary tents won't last long! We need to change them!"

Suddenly, Ye Zhanqing tugged at his arm and shouted anxiously, "Drain the water!"

"It's raining so hard! If there's any higher ground nearby, we might be hit by a flood!"

"Open the map and check it out!"

After being reminded, Ling Xiao also realized the seriousness of the problem. "Shouldn't we have explored the surrounding area before to see if there is any terrain that could cause flash floods?!"

The three of them studied it again.

After a brief exchange before, they discovered that everyone's special mission was to fight zombies.

The types are all [Source of Disaster], and the types and requirements of monsters in the filth in the mission are the same.

But they were not in Little Raccoon City. Ye Zhanqing, Su Jinxi and Lin Lu were randomly gathered together, while Qi Heng was also left alone somewhere.

The map was reopened after being banned, and it felt a little unfamiliar at first.

Fortunately, the three of them brainstormed and quickly ruled out the possibility of a flood.

But they didn't completely deny it, because the areas they had explored so far were still too few, too few...

There is no way to predict the coming storm.

I thought the world mission would just allow them to continue exploring and developing, but who could have imagined that there would be such a far-reaching interference as the natural disaster.

"You can't keep hiding like this!"

Qi Heng was the first to speak out, "You can hide for a while, but not forever! We need to make sure everyone can move around in the rain. Oh, and let's talk about it in the guild chat room. Let's get everyone thinking of a solution!"

Everyone has been caught in the rain, and everyone has avoided it.

Although the current situation is obviously beyond the original scale, some methods and experiences can still be used as reference.

Xiao: "Everyone, just say whatever comes to mind. Your old jokes might work wonders here!"

[The craftsman who is not a craftsman: "Brother Xiao! Actually, simply taking shelter from the rain is very simple, just build a house. Even more convenient, you can just build a few large 'tables', and the people below can lift them up and walk!"]

As the leader of the logistics staff of [Light of Green Mountain], he has made great contributions whether it is making props or using the forge to make money for the guild.

His proposal was also echoed and approved by many people.

After eating, sleeping and working together for these days, I deeply understand the truth that many hands make light work.

No one is cheating, everyone is working hard for their own future and the future of the guild.

Those who have brains can offer suggestions, and those who don’t like to use their brains can just work hard.

Of course, it is impossible for no one to disagree.

There is debate only when there is controversy, and only when things are explained clearly can you convince the public.

[Pan Hong, the dog loves to play: "Brother Gong-chan, hiding all the time is not a solution. We can't go out and chop trees while carrying that thing, right?"]

Turkey-flavored rice crust: "Yes! And if there's a fight, we still have to get wet in the rain!"

Milky-white Yukiko: "Rain gear and the like should be very important props for the next step. Gong-chan, can you make it?"

[Not Gongjiang Gongchan: "I just have a higher success rate when I manufacture it, but I can't just make it out of thin air! If you don't give me the blueprints, how can I do it?"

"Besides, the rain never stops. Should we also consider building a ship?"

……

In the rain, Ling Xiao had a dark face.

Qi Heng scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What the hell are these names?"

"I'd like to state in advance that I haven't even started college yet. Have college students become so abstract nowadays?!"

After saying that, he grabbed Ling Xiao and shook him, then asked with concern, "Brother Xiao! Were you led astray by them in college?"

"roll!"

"Of course... You were never mean to me before..."

Ling Xiao kicked the dishonest guy away, blocked him out, and discussed with Ye Zhanqing directly: "The craftsman's idea is feasible. These woods can't light a fire in the rain anyway, so why not use them to build..."

The two of them had a brief discussion and decided on a plan.

Always stay with me.

In fact, there is a guess that Ling Xiao has not made public.

That is, will the cave be flooded?

It is not difficult to find out from the previous exploration that the cave can only be regarded as a small copy waiting to be conquered.

But there was no obstacle to entry, no magical restrictions or teleportation.

Just walk in.

Will the rainwater rush in, flooding the monsters living in the caves and causing a conflict with them on the ground?
A seemingly endless rain has caused the situation, which had just improved, to take a sharp turn for the worse, forcing the survivors to race against time again...

"Come on! Give me a hand!"

"No, man! Can this thing really hold up? Why does it feel like this shelf is shaking the whole time?"

"Yeah, shit! I'm shaking here too! And aren't roofs in the countryside supposed to be tilted? It feels like they can't let the rain out if they're this flat!"

"Shaking is normal! Look at how thick that wood is!? Also, even though I'm a civil engineer, I'm not talented at building a platform! I'm lucky enough to be able to get through this!"

The thin worker squeezed in and out, and a simple wooden shed that could shelter from the rain gradually expanded.

After the members' tents were folded up, they were gathered together. The space for activities under the extended wooden boards was extremely valuable and could not be wasted.

"Brother Xiao! Someone is selling straw raincoats in the trading area!"

Ling Xiao put down the work in his hands, opened the trading area and searched, and sure enough, there was a store selling mass-produced straw raincoats, and the quantity was quite large.

It’s just the price…

A low-quality item in the window costs one hundred copper coins, and an ordinary one costs at least three hundred, and you have to negotiate the price privately.

Some people are begging, some are scolding in the store messages. The store owner is doing business while advertising in the channel, and he also finds time to argue with people in the store messages.

"Brother Xiao, do you want to buy it?"

Nervously watching the remaining number of straw raincoats, Su Jinxi, who was in charge of the guild's financial statistics, couldn't help but remind them, "This store has already raised its prices once. If the rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid they'll take the opportunity to raise prices again!" "We have enough funds, but we're mainly worried that they'll wait for a higher price and use hunger marketing tactics."

Lin Lu's frown suddenly relaxed as she exclaimed, "Brother Xiao! Do you still remember the raincoat we used before?!"

"When we fought the Black Pig King before, we bought a few raincoats to make it easier to apply the medicine!"

really!

When three people get together, an Idea King will always appear randomly!

Ling Xiao is still the leader of the plan, but the more he knows, the more things come into his mind.

Without clear pointers, it always takes time to figure out these past details.

Lin Lu, however, was a "foolish person with good fortune", and she had not had many thrilling experiences.

It's no surprise that he thought of it earlier than Ling Xiao, who has been fighting against swords and guns.

"Correct!"

Ling Xiao clenched his fist and clapped his hands, "Raincoats are much better than straw raincoats, and last time they were all ordinary quality, so the quality is much better!"

"You were the one who contacted him before. Find him again and ask him how much stock he has. The price is not a problem, as long as it's not too high!"

"it is good!"

Lin Lu's cheeks flushed as she felt she could help, and she sent a private message to that person excitedly.

After a while, she replied with some hesitation: "Brother Xiao, she said she already has twenty pieces! And she can continue to produce, but...but she doesn't want money, she wants to join us!"

After a slight pause, Ling Xiao nodded to indicate that he understood.

But he did not agree immediately. Instead, he called Qi Heng, who was working happily in the rain, and Ye Zhanqing, who was also directing the former.

After the demands of this urgently needed talent were made clear, the three presidents of Qingshanzhiguang had no objections.

"Agreed. Did he send the invitation? I'll check it out."

Following Lin Lu's sharing, Ye Zhanqing searched for this [Xie Dachui] in the guild application and agreed to the application.

Before long, a beam of teleportation light appeared next to the source of magic.

Under the curious gaze of the crowd, a petite and cute girl landed on the ground wrapped in a raincoat.

Ling Xiao was stunned, but immediately reacted.

He had always thought that this nickname, combined with the other party's talent for making things, must mean that he was a rough guy, but he didn't expect that the stereotype was wrong.

"Hello, big guys!"

"My name is Xie Mengyu, you can call me anything you want, even just call me Da Hammer!"

The little girl reached out and pulled off the hood of her raincoat, which was in the way, and expressed her opinion very generously as soon as she came up.

"Really? Then can I call you Big Hammer Sister?"

Qi Heng, who never lets his words fall on the floor, naturally developed his talent for supporting the main role.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the tenth-level Andy Lau, a rare and peerless talent among good men! I'm also the undisputed big brother of our 61035th District - Xiao!"

"really?"

Tiechui sister's slightly wet bangs swayed, and her eyes were big and bright, which made Ling Xiao unable to help but kick Qi Heng again.

"You're so full of energy, aren't you? If you fart again, you won't be allowed to sleep at night and you'll have to keep watch all night!"

Qi Heng slipped back with a grin on his face, no trace of embarrassment at all, and took the opportunity to introduce a few people to Xie Mengyu.

Apart from anything else, the little girl is extremely polite.

"This is the real Brother Xiao."

"Hello, Brother Xiao!"

"This is Ye Da... President Ye Zhanqing, the one who approved your application."

"Hello, Sister Qing!"

A shout and a bow can make people's favorability towards them soar.

A likable child will never suffer any loss wherever he goes.

After a round of warm and friendly greetings, Ling Xiao coughed and got straight to the point.

"Then I'll call you Hammer Sister too, because I think you seem to like it better."

After receiving the little girl's enthusiastic nods and a smile in approval, Ling Xiao thought briefly and gave a number.

"We need at least two ponchos per person plus a spare, which means a hundred ponchos. How long will it take to be on the safe side?"

"Do you need any help making the raincoat? For example, does the environment here need any improvements? We can even use public funds for the materials. After all, you're solving a problem for the guild!"

Sister Hammer nodded with sparkling eyes, then shook her head.

She said in a clear voice, "Don't bother! My talent is quite special. I don't have any requirements for the location. I just need the materials!"

"Oh my god! Our guild can even reimburse the cost of materials!? If only my director could be so generous and so forthcoming! I would have written several SCI papers for him long ago!"

Unexpectedly, this cute girl who looks as young as an elementary school student was actually a researcher before.

Ling Xiao arranged for Su Jinxi and Lin Lu to help her. The former was in charge of the money, while the latter's talent could produce strange plants, some of which were very useful, while the others were still to be proven...

blah-

Bathed in the torrential rain that showed no sign of stopping, Ling Xiao walked to the place near the camp gate.

In front of Qi Heng were two halves of a snake corpse, the diameter of which was comparable to those of the powerful anacondas in his previous life.

"New monster?"

"Correct!"

Qi Heng used a bone gun to collect the snake corpses one by one into his backpack, and then sent it to Ling Xiao.

"LV9? And it's just an ordinary monster!"

Do not see do not know.

Ling Xiao had a new idea.

From the Trial Quests to the initial stages of World Quests, and then to the Rainfall and Raging Flow version...

The average level of the monsters they encountered seemed to be rising.

Of course, some examples must be excluded.

For example, someone who had just helped a lot in the compatibility test, that level was definitely not the one that should appear in the "Novice Village". Thinking of her, a haze appeared in Ling Xiao's heart again.

The ring left behind is so powerful, even my imagination of my own strength is a bit conservative...

And it's not that he has Stockholm syndrome and has developed an unreasonable feeling for the "murderer" who hurt him.

It was clearly agreed that I would be forced into a dream at every stage.

Before breaking through LV10, Ling Xiao was worried for a long time. He didn't trigger it and thought it was because he hadn't mastered his main profession yet.

Now that we have a main profession, isn’t LV10 considered a new first level?
Do I need to reach LV11 to enter a new level?

There are too many worries, and when they pile up together, you will end up in debt.

When the enemy comes, we will fight him with soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. When you go to bed, you can go to bed. The worst that can happen is that you will die in your dream!
If you can't even find the direction to struggle, what else is there to worry about?

Forget it!
"Brother Xiao, why do I feel like it's still so hard to beat even after awakening my main profession?"

Taking out the long sword and slowly holding it in his hand, Ling Xiao curled his lips, "How can it be difficult? Haven't we been fighting like this for so many days?"

"Sometimes I have to look for reasons within myself. Have I leveled up in all these days? Have I really fought monsters seriously?"

The eyes looked strange, Qi Heng didn't understand, but the urge to beat someone up made him unable to hold back.

"Brother Xiao, I want to beat you up, is that okay?"

"Negative. Huh!?"

Qi Heng raised his gun suddenly, but did not see the enemy.

He turned his head in confusion, only to hear Ling Xiao curse in a low voice: "When did this extra channel appear, Region 6103!?"

"What is it?"

The panel function has been newly added.

A public area with more than 50,000 people replaced the original channel section, and some new names appeared in the guild rankings.

"Look, Brother Xiao! Sister Ye has been pushed down!"

Turning to the rankings in the channel, the guild rankings have changed, and the rankings of individual explorers are the ones that have changed the most.

Because Qi Heng killed a newly appeared monster, his experience bar increased first, and he returned to the top of the list with a slight advantage.

Ling Xiao returned to the old place.

As for Ye Zhanqing, he dropped all the way down to sixth place.

The third, fourth, and fifth on the list all had unfamiliar nicknames, and their guilds were also unheard of.

"Is this... a merger?!"
