Chapter 175: So Strong That Only Question Marks Remain
"Is this the 'tragic thick barrier' that Mr. Lu Xun talked about?"
For some reason, Bing Lei, Snow and others all thought of this sentence.
Mr. Lu Xun's words can be used in any era.
Even in the game, this gap in identity and status is still very obvious to everyone.
They were also the first batch of players to enter the game. They all sat in front of the computer, waiting for the countdown to the server opening.
After such a long time, some people became pharmacists, some became repairmen, some leveled up and killed monsters day after day, and some worked hard to mine in the black-hearted mines. They all had a bright future...
"Pharmacist Su is now a public official in Coral City and receives a large salary every month. He is totally not on the same level as us poor people."
"Why is the gap so big..."
If I say I'm not envious, that would be a lie.
Fortunately, Su Xia is on their side and has no hostility towards them. He can also restrain that disgusting thing called Sijidao.
"Speaking of which, Brother Su is from the intelligence department, right? It's working time now, what is he doing in this remote logging site?"
They didn't take the initiative to say hello, but just stood quietly in the distance, watching Su Xia get out of the car.
That black suit with logo on it is obviously not cheap.
Su Xia had a keen sense and noticed Bing Lei and others while still in the car, so he waved to them after getting off.
Bing Lei and the others noticed it immediately.
"Pharmacist Su is greeting us, hurry over there."
They brought their team members and walked quickly towards the location of Su Xia's convoy.
Snow smiled and greeted Su Xia, "Brother Su, how come you have the time to come to the lumberyard to see the people in Bikini Bottom?"
"Well, just take a look."
Su Xia also answered with a smile. He had a good impression of both of them.
Back then in the low-level mine in the city, the Frozen Cross and Sixth Heaven teams fought side by side with Bikini Bottom and did not retreat even when faced with a numerical disadvantage.
Not long ago, Sijidao attacked the pharmacy, and these two people followed Li Defu and others and rushed over. They were not afraid of Sijidao who already held great power at that time.
In the game, these people can be trusted for a long time.
"What are the attributes of the monsters here? Are they easy to kill?"
"It's OK. They are basically mutant wild boars, pheasants, jungle wolves and other monsters. Their defense is not high and it is easy to find their weaknesses. However, their attacks are very strong, so I need to repair my equipment frequently."
Low defense means that monsters can be dealt with quickly, which is very friendly to players who need to level up frantically.
But high attack power means that a lot of money needs to be spent on purchasing potions and repairing equipment.
It is difficult for ordinary players without money to survive here, so the advantage of team combat is reflected.
"Is the repair cost very high?" Su Xia asked again.
"Yes, it's quite high, 20% higher than those repairmen in the city." Bing Lei said helplessly, "But we can't rush back to the city to repair the equipment. It takes too long to go back and forth, so we can only be ripped off by the high price."
"Is there no one in the team who is a repairman?"
"We don't have any on our team, but two people from your Bikini Bottom team have been hired. They are still interns and can't even repair the most basic first-level equipment. It's difficult..."
"Understood."
Su Xia turned his head and looked at the mayor beside him.
The mayor had a very quick mind to hold his current position, and he immediately said, "From today onwards, every adventurer who comes here to train can enjoy the same price as in the city, and your friends can get even more discounts. How about a 20% discount?"
"80% off..."
Su Xia thought about it and felt it was okay, so she asked, "Can those repairmen make money with this discount?"
"Yes, the materials are very cheap. Even at 60% off, we can still make money."
"Then it's 40% off."
"no problem!"
The mayor agreed immediately without changing his expression.
Upon hearing this, Bing Lei, Snow and others were all surprised.
The repair fee that had troubled them for a long time was actually solved by Su Xia with just one sentence.
The mayor agreed without a second thought.
Obviously, even if Su Xia's request was a little more excessive, the mayor would agree.
It’s good to have someone above you!
Not long after, the owner of the logging camp also hurried over and promised to give the best care to every friend of Su Xia, and even let the merchants in the logging camp buy the wild boars and other monsters they hunted at a price 20% higher than the normal price.
Of course, even so, these businessmen can still make a lot of money.
Surprises came one after another.
Bing Lei and others were so happy that they didn't know what to say. When they sent the news to their team group, the whole team went wild.
"Fuck, Pharmacist Su is awesome!"
"Boss, hug Pharmacist Su's thigh for me."
"Do we need to offer Py?"
“…”
The shameless and bottom-line-less conversations instantly engulfed the entire team.
I cleared 99+ in just a few minutes, which was really dazzling.
Bing Lei walked to Su Xia's side and asked in a low voice: "Brother Su, if you do this, will you be criticized for abusing your power when you go back?"
“What kind of abuse of power is this?”
Su Xia laughed. He was from the intelligence department. What did he have to do with a logging camp?
Even if it is criticized, it should be about "accepting bribes".
But when it comes to this, more than 80% of the people in that office building are more ruthless than him.
The problem of a large amount of land in the city being occupied has not been resolved yet, and the supplies distributed to the refugees often disappear. Giving money and treasures are just trivial matters, and some people even give them directly to people.
In those underground manors, there are people responsible for training many boys and girls to be given or sold to officials with special hobbies.
When Su Xia destroyed several underground manors before, he rescued a pet called canary.
Those are the girls kept in cages. They have been injected with growth-inhibiting drugs for a long time, and their bodies have remained in the appearance of a teenager.
"By the way, where are the Bikini Bottom team members leveling up? Are they with you guys?"
"Yes, it's on the hill next to us."
"Take me to have a look."
Su Xia plans to show up and reassure the people in the team.
Before this, some team members often suspected that Su Xia was not a member of the Bikini Bottom team. After all, he almost never leveled up with the team.
The last incident at the pharmacy made the team members feel much more at ease.
Bing Lei and others immediately led Su Xia, talking about the current development of several teams as they walked.
"There are more than 30 teams of all sizes leveling up nearby. Nearly 20 of them have formed an alliance with us and Bikini Bottom. When the pharmacy had an incident last time, several team leaders came with us..."
Su Xia listened very carefully and nodded frequently.
This is a power that he will definitely need in the future and cannot be neglected.
The mayor behind him was secretly frightened. After all, with so many undead adventurers gathered together, if there was any unusual movement, the nearby town would be the first to be affected.
"As long as they are armed, they can be a private army that is not afraid of death." The mayor thought to himself that more and more undead are coming now, and if something unexpected happens, the entire Coral City may not be able to withstand it.
The Su Xia in front of him is indeed the young man that Yu Tuo has taken a fancy to. He has attracted so many undead people so quickly. He will surely become a great man in the future.
They all went up the mountain and came to the Bikini Bottom team leveling area.
There are monsters of level 15-25 here.
The members of Bikini Bottom all worked very hard. They worked in groups, either pulling or carrying monsters, and had a lot of fun killing monsters in the forest.
Su Xia and his group immediately attracted countless eyes.
When they saw Su Xia, many members' eyes lit up.
"It's Pharmacist Su!"
"Just now the next group was talking about it. Pharmacist Su gave us a 40% discount!"
“As expected of him!”
“…”
Su Xia could hear the discussions and greeted the players as she walked, asking if anyone needed help dealing with a difficult monster.
Many members thought that he was good at making medicine, but he never had the time to level up, so his level was probably not high, so he could only use potions to help kill monsters.
There is indeed a difficult monster on the mountain, but it is a thing that even potions can't cure.
One member said: "On the top of the mountain, there is a level 27 quasi-BOSS-level wolf king, who is very fast..."
Li Defu and his men had prepared several attacks before, even using poison, but they failed to even touch the wolf king's fur, and also lost a number of members.
After that, they gave up and planned to wait until the main players were above level 20 before trying again.
After hearing about this, Su Xia took people directly to the top of the mountain.
“Ouch—”
The wolf king had ferocious eyes and sharp fangs, and his speed was indeed as fast as the legend said.
When he pounced on Su Xia, many people only saw a blue-gray afterimage.
The mayor behind him turned pale, pulled out his pistol, and shouted, "Sir, be careful!"
"Nothing."
Su Xia's expression remained unchanged, and there was not even a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.
He raised his hand, accurately grasped the wolf king's neck, and then twisted it hard.
“Crack!”
The wolf king didn't even have time to struggle and died on the spot!
Flash sale!
Su Xia threw the wolf king's limp body aside, then clapped his hands and brushed off the dust.
The players at the scene were silent for two full seconds, and then suddenly exploded.
“Fuck!”
Perhaps because the knowledge in their minds is too limited, everyone thought of this word first.
When they wanted to check Su Xia's level, they only saw countless question marks.
【？？ ？】
【？ ？ ？】
【……】
Even more outrageous than the current BOSS.
Some BOSS monsters at least have their names visible, but Su Xia’s name isn’t even displayed, just question marks.
This is a man so strong that only question marks remain!
"I told you so. Pharmacist Su has so many poisons. Even if he only spends one hour leveling up every day, it is enough for him to poison a large group of monsters. His level must be quite high!"
The members of the Bikini Bottom team instantly gained confidence.
If you follow Su Xia, you will be able to make it in this game sooner or later!
"Hurry up and post it on the game forum. It will help attract more members to Bikini Bottom!"
Some members began to take action and uploaded screenshots of Su Xia's attributes.
On the other hand, Four Seasons Rice is also taking action.
After this guy returned to Coral City, he immediately started writing posts about the "King of Mercenaries" and never mentioned the 40 million.
At the same time, in the wilderness, Wang Teng entered a mercenary town.
After single-handedly suppressing two rebellious mercenary leaders, he became the king of the entire town.
He sat on a simple throne, looking domineering. He did not even consider hiding his whereabouts. Instead, he asked his men to announce the location of the town through the radio.
"Tell everyone that I, Wang Teng, am waiting here for the masked stranger!"
