Chapter 68: 58 Everyone indeed has their unique skill.
For the vast majority of players, it is actually quite difficult to consider the distant future, because no one knows if in the next dungeon world, they themselves might suddenly be killed. When the boundary between life and death becomes blurred, people’s mentality also changes; some struggle desperately to survive, trying to become stronger, while others choose to go with the flow, enjoying the present.
That’s why the capital group represented by Louis has a large number of players willing to cooperate with them.
Since oneself might die tomorrow, why not use what’s at hand to trade for something that allows one to live better?
Money, women, power, status... Things that were once unattainable for them, after becoming players, are now offered to them on a silver platter. Is there any reason to refuse?
You could say their ambition is low, but this is a true reflection of the majority of people.
After all, compared to geniuses, ordinary people will always be in the majority.
And players like Edward, they are a little stronger than average people, but still fall short of true geniuses. They are well aware that surviving in increasingly difficult dungeons is a very tough job.
What to do when encountering difficulties?
No worries, I’ll just slack off.
Indeed, there are those who rise to the challenge, but facing difficulties, lying down and giving up is also a choice some people make.
At least Nabron is such an example.
As for the others, faced with this unexpected Hell-level dungeon, they also find it difficult to start due to lack of sufficient experience, which inevitably makes the whole team seem more loose, even lacking fighting spirit.
But now, stimulated by the chain quests, everyone’s enthusiasm has been fully mobilized, because it not only means rich rewards but more importantly, if they really help Caster ascend the throne, then all these players will have played a part in this dragon-scale feat.
Of course, players don’t need this power and prestige because they are just passersby in this world.
However, by virtue of this merit, they can gain access to the Empire’s high echelons, at the very least obtaining some material rewards. After two hundred years of the Empire’s existence, wouldn’t there be some powerful treasures? Whether it’s equipment or technology, it will be a huge boost to their strength.
Complete tasks issued by NPCs, obtain the goodwill of NPCs, and the higher the NPCs’ status in the current world, the greater the players’ gains will be.
In fact, this is the most important part of the chain quests.
Right now, in the eyes of these players, Caster has become not just someone they need to protect, but a vast treasury.
With this treasury, they could become stronger and live longer.
The huge benefits also sparked their unprecedented motivation.
"I’ll go gather intelligence, wait for my good news." Leaving this message, Nabron left directly.
"It looks like our team finally has some cohesion," said Yaya with a sigh, seemingly comforted, then she looked at everyone, "So, I’ll also share my thoughts... About the enemies, although we almost know nothing about Hinamizawa Village and have no idea what kind of power they have, let’s assume the worst - that all the villagers are Khorne believers."
"And for us, aside from the seven of us, the only force we can rely on is Gawain and his accompanying knights, but even then, we are absolutely outnumbered. Even in terms of terrain, they have the advantage; if they block the entrance to Inner Village, we won’t even be able to run away. But the key point is, we can’t leave the village because outside is a vast icy world."
Hearing this, Nikun interjected, "Actually, if it’s just the seven of us, plus Caster and Guinevere, I have a way to keep you alive in the snow for a week."
"That won’t work," Yaya shook her head, "You have to include Gawain because he is the strongest of us. As for the passengers, we could indeed abandon them, but what about Gawain and Caster? Even if both agree, taking them and Gawain’s knights out of the village to the snowy wastelands is extremely dangerous because the enemy definitely has more experience fighting in the snow than we do."
Everyone nodded silently; indeed, the villagers of Hinamizawa were born and raised in such conditions, going to the snowy land would be like entering their home ground for battle.
"So, even though we know this is the enemy’s stronghold, we have to stay, but we can try to turn the away ground into home ground... Actually, I had already observed when I entered the village yesterday, Inner Village is slightly higher than Outer Village in terms of terrain. If we can set up our tactics in advance and find a suitable position, we can greatly weaken the enemy’s numerical advantage. I plan to take a closer look at the terrain here later..."
"No need to go through such trouble." Nikun smiled and interrupted, casually pulling out a drone.
"This is the latest fully automated civilian drone produced by the United States, although a civilian product, it uses military technology. With it around, not a single corner of Hinamizawa Village can escape our sight."
"Awesome, Nikun!"
While everyone was still in shock, Le Cheng had already snatched the drone; it felt exactly like the real thing.
Nikun laughed and said, "As I’ve said before, my ability is materialization; anything that exists in reality, I can materialize."
Le Cheng said, "Then why not just materialize a missile, bomb Outer Village, and flatten the world?"
Nikun looked embarrassed, "Sorry, I can’t do that yet. My materialization consumes spiritual power, and the more enormous and intricate the device, the higher the difficulty of my materialization. Moreover, there are many restrictions on weapon materializations... The most powerful weapon I can materialize right now is Big Sniper."
Hearing this, Edward, Alien Eye, Yaya, and Jingxiang couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
Whoa whoa whoa, that’s already terrifying, okay!
Big Sniper generally refers to large-caliber sniper rifles, also known as anti-material rifles, like the Barrett, well-known to many.
Theoretically, this type of weapon is not designed to kill people but to target helicopters, light armored vehicles and other such targets.
"But speaking of which, this drone is actually quite noticeable. Even if the locals don’t recognize it, if we let it hover over the village, it will soon be noticed, right?"
When Le Cheng said this, Nikun frowned, but Alien Eye just smiled and whistled.
Tweet!
Soon, a familiar sound came from afar.
"My animal friend, Snow Vulture, will carry the drone high up, ensuring the villagers won’t spot it."
"True to form, Ding Zhen!" Le Cheng patted his shoulder and gave a thumbs up, "You’re the real hero!"
