Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

Phantom Tank: That won’t work. The leader said that this demon can only see the sun tomorrow morning at most, not even one day longer.

Phosphorus pentoxide: @Bailitian, it’s okay, we will still be in Yunhe Town tomorrow, there is still time.

Yu Wenbobo: Um, brother, I know the price of this auction will be outrageous, but I still have to say that the assault armor in the gathering place is only sold for 15000 Alliance Coins. Everyone should be careful not to get too excited when bidding tomorrow.

The reason why he said this in the forum was because Yu Shui discovered that the moment the post came out, someone had already spent money to buy Alliance Coins in the forum.

Chapter 259: Chenlu's Rival (Two in One)

The gathering place at this time.

Because he had to come back to establish a corps and recruit members, Yu Shui stayed in the gathering place all day.

Now that most of the players have logged off, he has finally finished his busy day.

After recruiting the last player into the army, he followed Lemon's example and rented a set of fishing equipment. Then he ran to the Yunshan River and sat down. He cast the fishing hook, watched the ripples on the river, and began to enjoy the leisurely life.

Anyway, I have to go to the trading point to join in the fun tomorrow, and there is no need to rush to the demon-occupied area tonight, so I might as well relax.

But he didn't wait long to fish.

"Drip."

The circle private message rang.

Chenlu Bobo: Brother Shui, are you still online? I have something to talk to you about.

Yu Wenbobo: Just say it directly.

Chenlu Bobo: Um...where are you? I want to come over and talk to you.

Yu Wenbobo: Hmm? Aren't you in Yangwei Village now? When did you come back?

Chenlu Bobo: Five minutes ago, let’s not talk about this for now, where are you, I’m coming to find you.

Yu Wenbobo: I'm fishing, let me send you the coordinates.

Morning Dew Bobo: Okay.

It is worth mentioning that this coordinate was not a convenience created by the game planner of Dawn as a mercy to the players, but was created by a player with the ID [Qing Wan] on the forum.

He has already developed three versions of the map, but it was not until this version that he got the qualification for the internal test.

The current map covers most of the valley, parts of the area near Camps 1, 2, and 3 in the Demon Occupation Area, and most of the southern part of Yunhe Town.

The map also sets corresponding coordinate points in the way of traditional games.

However, in some unfamiliar places, players may not be able to find their own coordinates, so they can only find a way out on their own.

Not long after, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from behind Yu Shui. He turned around and saw that it was Chen Lu.

"You actually have a taste for fishing." Chen Lu looked at the complete set of fishing gear beside Yu Shui.

"I've fished in real life, so I have some experience." Yu Shui replied with a smile.

Chen Lu nodded slightly, then found a place to sit down by Yu Shui, and took a look at the fish basket that Yu Shui placed beside him.

Empty.

You are so insightful.

Then the two of them sat like this in silence for another ten minutes, until Yu Shui confidently lifted the rod, and a long seaweed was pulled directly out from under the water, creating a long splash of water.

"..."

"Cough cough."

Chen Lu almost laughed out loud, but could only quickly cover up her voice with a cough.

Yu Shui pulled the water plants off the hook with some embarrassment, and turned to look at Chen Lu.

"Just tell me what's going on. Why are you just silencing Poppy here?"

"Forehead……"

Chen Lu touched her nose, then moved her butt slightly, and finally turned around and said embarrassedly:

"Brother Shui, do you have any extra Alliance Coins that you could lend me?"

"Ok?"

Yu Shui paused in pulling the water plants, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"You want to buy the right to kill that high-level demon?"

"Of course I want to buy it." Chen Lu nodded vigorously. "I'm currently level 17 and a half. As long as I capture this high-level demon, I think there's a high probability that I can directly reach level 19."

"By then, you'll be only one step away from becoming a Xuan-level master."

This is the first twenty levels in the entire game.

And now everyone is speculating about how players will use those attribute abilities after reaching level 20.

Is it a skill like those previous MMO games?

Or learn some immersive games to simulate the circulation of energy in the body?

Or is there a completely new way to play? A brand new gaming experience!

Isn’t this what these combat players are pursuing!

"If you want to buy it, just tell me directly."

Yu Shui swung the rod in his hand back to the Yunshan River, then got into the fishing posture again, turned around and said to Chen Lu with a smile.

"You are now the chief general of our 'Unyielding Legion'. You will be required to lead the charge in all subsequent battles. If I can help you improve your strength, I will definitely not refuse."

When Chen Lu heard this, she rubbed her hands excitedly.

"Then how much can you lend me? I have nine thousand Alliance Coins saved up now. I think another three or four thousand will be enough."

He originally wanted to use the money to buy assault armor.

But weapons are external things and will eventually be retired. The cost-effectiveness is obviously not as good as directly upgrading the level.

And will buying the assault armor allow him to challenge Xuan-level masters?

Obviously not.

"Let's not talk about three or four thousand, I'll even lend you a little more." Yu Shui shrugged and said, "Anyway, I don't have any plans to spend money to buy land at the trading point at the moment."

Although Xiaoxing has recently opened up the sale of some land at the trading point, it has explicitly prohibited land transactions, which has caused some players who are preparing to speculate in real estate to wail.

Yu Shuiping's daily expenses on food and equipment are not much. After all, he is not like Chen Lu, who has to spend money to buy life and bullets. Sometimes all his equipment is broken, and he has to spend money to buy more equipment.

You know, the price of equipment in the gathering place has not come down until now.

Although Xia Keyu bought a batch of standard equipment of the Yunhe Army from Chu Tianming some time ago, there is still a big gap in quality compared with the ten pieces sold by the leader at the beginning.

Fortunately, the price has also become cheaper, only 750 Alliance Coins per piece.

Moreover, thanks to their military rank as generals, they can get a 95% discount, which means they can make their money back by killing just a few low-level monsters.

So now, except for the major battles related to the main mission, Chen Lu uses cheap Yunhe military equipment at other times, so the damage rate is naturally not low.

"Then tell me the bottom line? How much is the most you can give?"

Chen Lu moved her butt towards Yu Shui and asked in a low voice.

Yu Shui didn't answer, but instead showed him five fingers.

"Five thousand?"

"It's five digits."

Yu Shui withdrew his right hand and looked at the river again.

"The two of us combined can probably come up with 20,000 Alliance Coins."

"But I don't recommend using it all at once. If you really get 20,000 tomorrow, I still suggest you buy the assault armor."

"Although upgrading directly is more practical, you can still sell the Assault Armor secondhand later, and you can quickly cash it out when you need money. At least within three versions, this thing will still maintain its value."

Chen Lu blinked, then raised her head slightly to think about it.

"Fifteen thousand Alliance Coins... I guess not many people can come up with that..."

"Not many people can come up with it." Yu Shui nodded, "but your competitors are only a few."

Having said that, Yu Shui suddenly lifted the rod again, and then a black thing was pulled out of the water. But before he could retract the rod, the black thing broke away from the control of the fish hook and flew out directly.

"Boom."

It entered the water perfectly, creating an elegant splash.

"Cough cough."

Yu Shui pretended to cough lightly, then simply put the fishing rod aside, turned around and said to Chen Lu:

"Let me help you analyze your competitors."

"First, let's talk about Oxygen. She definitely has more money than either of us. It won't be a problem for her to come up with 15,000 Alliance Coins tomorrow."

"Then there are Ah Tui and Mao Mao. Although they don't have much need for combat, they might want to spend money to increase their level and catch up on their progress."

"Then there are some real-life wealthy people. I just saw someone constantly collecting Alliance Coins. In just a few hours, the price of the coin has increased by 10%. If you don't know, you might think it's a virtual currency..."

"..."

While Yu Shui was analyzing the situation of tomorrow's auction to Chen Lu, Xia Shu and Lao Ba also led the people from Mujing Fort along the main road and walked to the west of the trading point.

There is an open space here. Although it is not big, it is more than enough for more than 20 people.

"We're here. This is the base assigned to you."

Xia Shu stood in the open space, with his hands on his hips, he took a long breath, then turned to Song Zheng and said.

"The other refugees from Shaling Town are all to the east and south of the trading post. If you want to see if there are any acquaintances there, you can go directly through the trading post to find them."

"However, outsiders are not allowed to carry weapons within the trading post without permission." [Secret Hamburger] added, "If you're concerned about safety, I suggest you go around from both sides."

"Ok."

Song Zheng nodded solemnly to the two of them, then looked at the buildings not far away.

Is this what they call a 'trading point'?

There are no outer city walls, nor any defensive facilities such as trenches, rivers, or fences, and there are only a few watchtowers inside.

It was completely different from the gathering place he had imagined.

Can this kind of gathering place really survive in this world?

"Excuse me, when can we meet with the leader of your gathering place, or explain the situation to the commander of your regiment?"

After arranging the camping situation, Uncle Wu immediately trotted over to Song Zheng, then looked at the two players and said tentatively.

They were in a hurry and could only stay at the trading point until tomorrow morning at most. If there was no result, they would have to rush to Yunhe Town immediately.

There's nothing we can do. Time waits for no one.

Xia Shu blinked, then after a moment's silence, he said, "Our leader doesn't have time to come."

Maomao and Phantom Tank are now busy preparing for tomorrow's auction.

Although there is only one item for auction, the corresponding venue, auction rules, and handover procedures after a successful auction, etc., all need to be prepared in advance.

This concerns the additional income of the two corps, and we must not be careless.

"But he has handed the matter over to the two of us, and the leader is currently at the trading point. We have sent someone to report, and we should have results soon." [Secret Hamburger] took over Xia Shu's words.

In fact, Tang Yi had already started paying attention to the developments over there the moment the players and the people from Mujing Fort met.

He had actually heard of the place name Mujingbao.

As a gathering place in the north of Shaling Town, the main function of Mujing Fort is somewhat similar to that of Yangwei Village, which is to cooperate with the Shaling Army to guard against attacks from demons and rebels.

Therefore, this gathering place is composed of several fortresses that echo each other and support each other.

Once a war breaks out, all the residents inside will rotate quickly like machine parts. Under the strict defense system, it is almost impossible for ordinary rebels to break through the defense of Mujing Fort.

In addition, the lord of Mujing Fort himself has the strength of the middle stage of Xuan level, and equipped with a spear of pre-war civilization, he can fight against even the high-level late-stage demons.

Moreover, there were two Shaling troops stationed in the north of Shaling Town. Once a war broke out, they could quickly rush to the vicinity of Mujing Fort for support.

Therefore, their high-end combat power can be on par with that of demons.
