"Entrustment cooperation system?" Pandora stared at Shen Yi with big eyes. Perhaps because of the veil, her eyes looked particularly big and bright.
"That's right." Shen Yi nodded seriously and started to wring his fingers: "First of all, you can't enter my team. I don't need observers to supervise me."
"But my joining will help your strength!"
"Judging from your performance last time... yes means no." Shen Yi shrugged, and Pandora was angry.
Shen Yi raised a second finger: "Second, I have the freedom to choose whether to accept the task or not, and the freedom to decide how to execute it. In other words, I can't accept the job that your boss gives me. Take it, you can do whatever you want, you have no right to dictate, do you understand?"
Pandora took a breath of air: "I understand, please continue..."
She specifically used the word "you" to represent the anger in her heart. Shen Yi laughed and continued: "Thirdly, there is no need to ask me to collect information. I don't have so much energy to collect and sell it." Other people's information. It's not worth it to sell people for a small benefit, and you can't offer a better price. I can probably consider taking up the murder, because those guys are really annoying, and I don't want to do it one day. They pester me for this or that. But my price will not be cheap, because it will affect my choice of mission world."
"Then I'd better find someone else to do it."
Shen Yi shrugged indifferently: "That's the best, then there's the last option: go to the wilderness to hunt the designated ferocious beasts, and give you the harvest. The conditions are as follows: First, give me all relevant information. Second, , the remuneration is determined based on the value of the reward, and the transaction is fair. Your bosses have the right of first refusal if the prices are equal, and this is the only power they have."
Pandora took several long breaths and finally said: "This means that you are not the agent of the big bosses at all, and there is no need for the big bosses to take any extra care of you. This is just a simple entrustment."
"That's right!" Shen Yi nodded affirmatively: "I don't need your boss to give me any special funding before I act, but after I do what they want me to do, they must give me what they want. Offer a good enough price. Although this may cost them more than ordinary agents, it also allows them to avoid unnecessary losses, doesn't it?"
Pandora thought for a while and finally nodded: "It's fair, but you must promise not to tell anyone about the deal between us."
"Of course, this is the most basic professional ethics."
"Occupation?" Pandora sneered: "Is your occupation a mercenary?"
"No, my profession is to extort big money." Shen Yi chuckled.
Pandora is gone.
The matter has been discussed, and she must go back to resume her life. Only after the big bosses nod, can the final decision be made on the matter.
But before leaving, she gave Shen Yi a topographic map and related information of the Ant Hills. Although it was not very detailed, when combined with the information on Zisha, we could basically get a complete picture of the Ant Hills.
The reason why Pandora is so generous is because Shen Yi told her that he was going to fight for the team assembly order. If Pandora still hopes that this cooperation will succeed, it is best to help him first.
Pandora was helpless about this shameless statement, but finally agreed.
She knew very well that what the big guys planned was not something that could be accomplished easily. If there was anyone else in the East Second District who was most likely to accomplish this thing, then besides the Storm Team, it was Shen Yi's Broken Blade Team. In In this case, it is still necessary to take the initiative to show kindness. The difference is that the cost of showing kindness to Shen Yi is obviously higher than that of others.
Seeing Pandora leave, Shen Yi whistled and waved to the distance.
The lord and others ran over. The little nurse held Shen Yi's arm and asked intimately: "Brother Shen Yi, what does that woman want from you?"
"You also know she is a woman?"
The little nurse wrinkled her nose proudly: "She thought that by wearing the phantom gauze, my aunt wouldn't be able to see where she came from. Huh, it's a pity that the phantom gauze can change her appearance, but it can't change her stinky smell."
Shen Yi pinched her little face and said, "You're cruel."
The little nurse smiled proudly: "Then what do you think she wants from you?"
Shen Yi pinched her nose instead: "You ask even though you know you can't say it."
"I know." The nurse stuck out her tongue, and then suddenly shouted: "The gardener is back!"
Figures jumped up and down the hillside and soon came to Shen Yi's side. It was the gardener.
"Brother Shen Yi, we found where they went."
"Were they discovered?"
"No." The gardener replied firmly: "Brother Shen Yi, don't worry, I know best what the people in the Wind Team are capable of. I have been following them from a long distance, and Ban Dongming is always cunning. He deliberately took long detours several times and sent people to stay behind, but he didn't expect that I had a black earthworm bracelet, so I avoided them all."
"Well done, where did they go?"
"There is a valley thirty kilometers away, just on the south side of Ant Hills. The entrance is very hidden, so it's really hard to find if you don't pay attention."
"Any idea what they do?"
"After they got there, they started to sprinkle a white powder on the ground. The powder was sprinkled along the entire valley, basically covering the entire periphery of the valley. In addition, some people planted seeds on the ground."
"seed?"
"Yes." The gardener grinned: "I don't know what the powder is, but I know the seeds."
Shen Yi also laughed: "You are really a party person when I send you there, what kind of seed is that?"
"Demon-binding vine, an immovable aggressive plant." As he spoke, several black tree species appeared in the gardener's hands, which were exactly the tree species he spilled when dealing with the violent beast: "Demon-binding vine has two stages: planting and spawning. .The shorter the planting time, the lower the health and attack damage, and the lower the survival time.”
"Tell me how to use it."
"If the planting time of the magic vine is less than one minute, the magic vine obtained after being spawned will only have a hundred points of vitality and an attack power of 12 points. The survival time will only be one minute. If the planting time is more than one day, it will have a vitality of 400 points. , attack power 22, with a fixed effect when attacking, the target will be fixed on the ground for 1-5 seconds and unable to move, but the priority is only 25."
“Is there a longer planting time?”
"A magic vine that has been planted for ten days will have a vitality of 800 points after being spawned. After being planted for thirty days, the magic vine no longer needs to be spawned and will grow automatically. It has a vitality of 1,200, an attack power of 40, and the target is fixed to the ground by 1 - Unable to move for 5 seconds, priority 65. In addition, it can emit a poisonous gas at a distance of three meters. Within this range, the user's life recovery rate increases, enemy targets are weakened, and the life recovery rate also decreases."
"Thirty days? One thousand two hundred points of life? Is this magic vine so powerful?" Shen Yi was also surprised.
"Yes." The gardener nodded affirmatively: "These are magic plant seeds unique to the wilderness and cannot be bought in stores. Once planted in large quantities, a magic vine jungle can be formed. If the user fights in this jungle, his strength will be doubled. .I have left some seeds of this kind of magic vine to them before, but there were only a few dozen. This time they used at least a thousand seeds, and they don’t know where they got so many."
"Of course there are people supporting them." Shen Yi said meaningfully.
All the clues came together at this moment, and he fully understood what Ban Dongming and Xie Rongjun were fighting for.
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Shen Yi said coldly: "Competing for the qualification to be a dog..."
"Brother Shen Yi, should we..." The gardener made a gesture of cutting off the roots, with an eager expression on his face. He obviously wanted to secretly sabotage Team Gale.
Shen Yi immediately shook his head: "No, they used so many demon-binding vines to surround the valley. It must have taken a month to be effective. Since the target location is clear, there is no need to rush to teach them a lesson. Let's do it first. We should mind our own business and deal with them next time."
"what about now?"
"Of course we need to get the team assembly order first." Shen Yi shook the Ant Hills information in his hand and smiled.
After integrating the information on Pandora and Zisha, Shen Yi had a basic understanding of the situation in the black ant nest.
A double C-level standard ant nest is mainly composed of a queen ant, guard ants, and a large number of soldier ants and worker ants. The queen ant is the master of the entire ant nest, and the team assembly order can only be obtained by killing the queen ant. However, this information is not It comes from the records of Zisha, but it is something that most adventurers know well.
The queen ant is not aggressive at all. The real trouble in killing the queen is the large number of guards around her.
"According to data records, if you want to kill a double C-level ant nest, the first thing you have to face is about four thousand worker ants. These worker ants have a vitality of 500 and have no attack ability, but they are large in number. When attacked, they will Send a distress signal."
Shen Yi introduced to everyone the strength of the double C-level ant nest.
"The person responsible for the rescue is usually a soldier ant, with 800 vitality points, attack damage 20, defense 10, can fly at low altitude, and moves relatively fast. It has the sharp jaw attack skill, which will cause 2 times the damage to the target when activated, and it can also spit poison Sting, but each soldier ant can only spit out one poisonous stinger in a day. There are about a thousand soldier ants in a double C-level ant nest, and one general ant will be born among every one hundred. General ants :Vitality 1,500, attack damage 30, defense 30."
Having said this, he looked at everyone.
Everyone's faces changed color when they heard that the number of worker ants was as high as 5,000.
Zhang Jianjun and the others have not forgotten that more than ninety violent beasts alone can make a group of adventurers miserable. Now the number of soldier ants alone is ten times that of violent beasts, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is stronger than that of violent beasts. .
In the ant hills, a huge number of soldier ants form the most powerful protective force of the ant nest. Not only are they powerful in individual combat, but they also have the ability to fly. They often go out in groups and attack the target group. These soldier ants also have It has a hard metal-like shell and is a hard armor type. It has a great damage reduction effect on ordinary gunpowder and rockets.
This is also a drawback of ordinary explosives. Not only does its lethality have its limits, its effect on armor-type, high-defense and many other types of troops will be greatly reduced. Its attack damage is not a simple defense reduction mode. Rather, the higher the target's defense, the stronger its resistance to damage from ordinary explosives.
Although the combat effectiveness of the worker ants is very low, the huge sea of ants is enough to submerge the adventurers layer by layer.
However, for Shen Yi, who is about to attack the double C-level ant nest, this is far from over. Shen Yi continued:
"These two hurdles alone are already insurmountable for most people, but there are still three hurdles before killing the queen. The third hurdle is guard ants. Every queen will have There are five guard ants, one of which is the captain. The guard ants are the most loyal guardian warriors in the ant nest. They will never leave the queen no matter what happens. They are fast, ferocious and powerful, and have very strong attack power, even more powerful than the general ants. Twice as ferocious. Among them, the guard ants have 3,000 lives and attack damage of 50 points. The guard ant captain has 4,000 lives and attack damage of 70 points. Except for lacking some high-destructive offensive skills, they are almost no worse than the bosses in the slums in other aspects. , and there are five such bosses, this is the third hurdle."
Everyone looked at each other without saying a word.
By this time they had stopped sighing.
When the difficulty reaches the extreme, there is no point in increasing the speed. It is like hitting someone to death at 70 miles per hour, and killing someone at 170 miles per hour... Shen Yi continues:
"The fourth hurdle is to actively retreat and call for rescue. Black ants are not ferocious beasts with no IQ. They are much smarter than real ants. When the casualties of an ant nest exceed one-fifth, They will choose the turtle defense strategy. No matter how you tease them, they will not take the initiative to attack. Therefore, the effect of using a booby-trap strategy against them is very limited. If you take forceful attack measures against them, when their casualties exceed One-third of the time, they may ask for help from nearby ant nests at any time, and nearby ant nests will send troops to support them. This is the most variable of all problems. You don’t know when the ant nest you are attacking will be attacked. When you send out a call for help, you don’t know whether the support will come, or even how strong the support will be. It may be a small army of a hundred soldier ants, or it may be a full force of ten large ant nests..."
Everyone just stopped talking. Some people were already lying on their backs, just listening to the scriptures.
"The fifth hurdle is the queen ant herself. I am honored to tell you that the vitality of a queen ant is eight thousand points."
"I'm not surprised at all." Zhang Jianjun muttered.
"However, the queen ant has no attack power and only has some special skills. 1. Egg laying. It can make up for the consumption during the battle by laying a large number of eggs and hatching them into soldier ants. 2. Mental influence. It has a mental influence on the target's life and weakens it. Its fighting spirit. 3. Summons guards. No matter where the guard ants are, it can quickly teleport its guards to itself to protect itself. At the same time, it can also teleport at least a hundred soldier ants and one general ant. 4. Resurrection of guards. It can attack one The guard ants killed in battle are resurrected.”
"Why not be resurrected a hundred times?" Zhang Jianjun yelled, pulling his beard: "It can definitely become more perverted!"
"You don't have to be so excited." Shen Yi comforted him.
"It's hard not to be excited. The difficulty of challenging a double C-level ant nest is equivalent to the sum of ten common area mission bosses! No, it's more than that! I now know what it means to be fooled, and I swear I will never do it again. Don’t come to this damn place anymore! Abnormal! Ridiculous! Crazy! This is simply the theme from misson impossible!”
Shen Yi laughed: "Do you think this is an impossible task?"
"Of course, no one can accomplish this kind of task."
"Then where did this information come from?" Shen Yi shook the paper in his hand.
"...Maybe hundreds of people joined forces to do it, just like the Life Corridor."
"In the wilderness, joint operations are rare, and cannibalism is the norm. I am sure that the information in my hand was not done by a large number of adventurers, because the people who possess this information eventually became members of the bloody city. The strong ones. If they can't even pass the ant nest level, let alone the more difficult ones in the future."
"Then you mean you have a solution?"
"certainly."
"How to solve it?" Zhang Jianjun asked.
"It's very simple." Shen Yi took out Sheyue, and then took out a box of C-class armor-piercing bullets and placed them in front of everyone.
"C-level armor-piercing bullet, damage power 55 points, shooting to the moon, muzzle kinetic energy 15 points, total bullet damage 70 points. Skill moon mark, increase the damage of the designated target by 0.5 times in one minute, total damage power 105 points."
"Determine an ant nest to be attacked, rush in, find the queen, and then shoot it at a rate of three rounds per second. After 30 seconds..."
