Chapter 38 Night Song Forest
If you think about it carefully, you will know that the personal reward is reasonable. After all, standing out in fierce competition is even more valuable than the team's advantage.
The Mercenary Association had a long time ago. To prevent cheating and prevent one person from fulfilling the team's advantage, it chose to temporarily issue tasks. This caught the participating mercenary groups off guard and it was too late when they woke up.
For example, the number one team has a merit value of around 370,000, although it is far ahead of other mercenary groups, because the members of the team are very strong. They do team tasks. Basically, the team merit value divided by the number of people is the merit value of each member. The situation of other teams is similar, except for Chen Fang, who is the exception. Almost all the team merit values are won by him, and almost all of them belong to him personally.
The Mercenary Association has not yet announced the ranking of personal merit values, but Linni is very clear that Chen Fang is undoubtedly ranked first, and his merit values must be far beyond others.
Even if Anson starts cheating from now on and subscribes all the merit values obtained by the team to one person's name, it will be difficult to make a difference in the remaining six days. Moreover, from a technical perspective, it is completely unrealistic and will inevitably drag down the efficiency of the team. Members of the mercenary group cannot be selfless enough to give up their precious merit values.
Linni told the truth straightforwardly, mainly explaining the reason for her departure. There were less than six days left in the competition, so there was no reason to give up the final sprint.
The situation becomes clear, and the team ranking is far from the first place. It is very difficult to catch up. Unless you challenge a difficult task, you will have to take great risks. Anyone who is not an idiot can know that it is not necessary.
In this competition, the first three mercenary groups have rewards for collective promotion. The difference is only merit value and bonus, which doesn’t matter. In other words, as long as you squeeze into the third grade, the difference is not big. Moreover, the individual rewards far exceed the team rewards. As long as you spend six days safely, Chen Fang can get jealous special mission rewards, which is even less worth taking risks.
Our team is not strong at all, and it is already a great blessing to be able to achieve a brilliant record. We weigh the interests. Pili Bee took the lead and said: "There are six days left. It doesn't matter if we do some simple hunting tasks, keep the second and slide to third. Anyway, there are rewards for promotion. What do you think?"
"Look, let's talk about it." The two voices said at the same time, one cold and the other silent, but both are the same without doubt.
The Pili Bee looked at the man and woman who spoke in unison in surprise, wisely silent. The mercenary group did not believe in democracy, but could only obey orders and obey. Moreover, even if he voted in a democratic way, he would be the minority to obey the majority.
There are not many choices to catch up with the number one Anson in six days. Chen Fang called out the follow-up of the reconnaissance mission and passed it to the goggles of two companions to investigate the Yege Forest. The merit value is 9,000, which doesn't look very attractive.
However, sixteen mercenary groups disappeared in Yege Forest. According to probability analysis, the possibility of insect holes is 76%. The subsequent tasks are likely to earn more than 100,000 points of merit. If you are lucky, the merit value will exceed the Anson team. However, this is only theoretical. In the last six days, the Anson team will not be idle, and they will also have to sprint.
The Night Song Forest, a poetic and picturesque name, according to the introduction of the task list, due to the dense forests, the forest cannot seep into some light. When you step into the forest, you step into the eternal night. In the darkness, elegant melodies will be heard from time to time, like the beauty of strings and the sorrow of songs and sorrows. If you want to go north on a large scale, you will inevitably clean up this area.
When talking about Yege Forest, a strange look flashed in Linni's eyes, but it flashed away.
Before leaving, a small episode happened and entered the dangerous area again. The best way was to hide in the inner cabin of the fishman, but it was impossible. The other side of the driver's seat became a restricted area, and the remaining space could not accommodate two people. Even if it could, no one wanted to suffer.
In terms of physical fitness and technology, Chen Fang should have driven the mecha, but he refused and took the initiative to ask for a trek. Although the toxins were removed, he still could not use physical strength to strengthen it and could only recover through exercise. He was anxious and did not want to miss any opportunity. In the end, the mecha was still driven by Linni, and the Pili Bee accompanied him to walk.
As a result, although the number of team members increased, the efficiency decreased, which made people feel very depressed. They explored the edge of the Night Song Forest, and it was less than three days before the competition ended.
As he approached the forest, a cold breath came in. The weak Chen Fang couldn't help but chill for a few times, and a feeling of uneasiness quietly rose.
"Wait." Chen Fang warned his teammates through the contactor.
"Has discovered?" Linni tried to use electronic focus to spy on the inside of the forest, but unfortunately she failed. The lush vegetation not only blocked the light, but also blocked the view.
"It's not right." Chen Fang said to himself.
"What's wrong?" Linni used a long-range sniper to clean up the nearby Zerg, but she couldn't see any weirdness.
Chen Fang explained: "Don't you feel it? The plants here are very strange. What can you see in the digital mode?"
"I can only see living organisms in Yege Forest, with medium individuals, but very large numbers, and I can't see anything else. Otherwise, you can try it?"
"Okay." After all, the data mode is not a field that Linni is good at, so Chen Fang quickly returned to the inner cabin of the mecha.
"What's the difference?" As time went by, Linni gave up her driver's chair and stood behind.
"The growth of forests is affected by the surrounding environment. Generally speaking, the wind is the biggest impact. The trees we usually see either grow straight or fall in one direction in a row, but look at the trees in Ye Song Forest." The exterior mirror sent back a strange landscape. The trees here are completely inconsistent with the rules, and some are in any direction, and some are even bent to an incredible level. Unless there are irregular external forces, this kind of wonder can be caused.
Her beautiful pretty face couldn't help but raise a pink ray. If she recklessly breaks into Yege Forest, the consequences will be unimaginable. Human eyes are so strange. Sometimes they can see small differences, but they turn a blind eye to the overall confusion. Before Chen made a sound to stop her, she was still observing the tree seriously.
Chen Fang quickly switched the screen on the display, adjusted to the rainbow mode, and suddenly threw out a flash bullet, and the dark night sky instantly dyed silver.
Among the lush trees, countless thin silks that cannot be distinguished by Taoist eyes were hung. At this moment, there was nowhere to hide under the silver light of the flash bomb, flashing with a hideous edge.
These thin silks are most likely spider silk. The living bodies appearing in the exterior mirror are probably groups of spiders. The mysterious string music of the Night Song Forest is most likely the sound of prey struggling when they encounter spider silk. It is the music of death.
The dense spider silk forms the early warning system of Yege Forest. The six-meter-high mechas cannot be avoided. Moreover, these spider silks can easily bend giant trees four feet thick, and are astonishingly tough. With its strong power, the mechas can easily break through the shackles of steel, but they are helpless to the shackles of flexibility. It can be imagined that a fishman is wrapped in dozens of spider silk, just like a fish caught in the net, and can only wait for death.
"Give up." Chen Fang turned off the mecha's exterior mirror.
"Give up?" Linni was silent for a moment. During the days she spent together, she had asked to give up more than once. Chen Fang had never heard of it. He repeatedly confirmed through his actions that as long as he did not give up, a miracle could happen.
A brave heart that never gives up, supports a fragile physique, the feeling is fascinating and distressing. Just as she gradually adapts to this view and begins to appreciate a man six years younger than herself. Chen Fang actually destroyed the Great Wall and took the initiative to retreat.
"Do you have a better way?" Chen Fang didn't know what she was thinking.
"No, I just don't get used to it. I thought that a brave person like you, I don't know what giving up means." Linni had a rare humor.
"Give up requires more courage than doing it recklessly. We leave as soon as possible. There are three days left, or we can find your friends." Perhaps the two of them are getting along well, or perhaps because they get rid of the troubles of illness, unconsciously, the past is quietly recovered, and in the words, the style of doing things alone is undoubtedly revealed.
The subtle changes caused a stir in Linni's heart. If he had only admired Chen Fang's ability and strength before, there were many more now: "It sounds like a philosophical sound, but it is limited to brave people. Only brave people need courage when they give up. I guess this sentence is told by a very close person. To teach you this principle, that person must have taken great pains."
The casual chat touched deep memories. This was what my grandfather, who was the Secretary of State of the Empire, told Chen Fang that as Linni said, in order to teach him this principle, grandfather spent a lot of effort to let brave people learn to give up. It was far more difficult than letting cowards learn fearlessness. Grandpa did not succeed in the end. Chen Fang understood this principle in countless setbacks, but he gave up only one task. He couldn't find what he wanted in the Yege Forest. Give up meant a new opportunity. As for finding a fire bull, everyone knew that hope was slim, just like looking for supplies. It was a complete chance. As long as he stayed on Hall Star, he was looking for it, so Linni never mentioned this from beginning to end.
"You don't seem to want to leave?" Chen Fang found that Linni had no intention of leaving.
Linni hesitated for a moment and said, "If you give up this mission to help me find my teammates, I still want to explore Yege Forest. I don't understand the probability you said, but I have a feeling that my teammates are in the forest. I know that Yege Forest's mission is not worth doing. Staying here means giving up the chance to hit the first place, but I can't abandon my teammates. This is my personal business. If you don't want to, I will never force you."
Chen Fang turned his head, thought for a while and said, "Didn't your intuition have only been there today?"
Happy holidays to everyone
