Zhang Shan didn't want to worry about how to make the artifact and how to keep it secret.
He felt that it was no longer necessary.
The game has been open for so long, even if they don't say anything, others will probably figure out the trick soon.
Besides, the chance of a divine artifact mission item dropping is so small, this is not a problem that can be solved by just keeping it secret.
There's no point in them keeping it a secret, there's nowhere to buy it.
As for divine materials, compared to artifact mission items, this stuff drops in relatively large quantities.
He has collected more than a dozen now, all of which he bought at auction houses.
What does this mean?
For other players, they can buy the divine materials at the auction house, which are also items whose uses they don't know.
But you can’t buy artifact quest items.
From the beginning of the game to now, three or four months, he has only bought two artifact quest items at the auction house.
This shows how rare the artifact quest items are, given the huge number of players in the entire game.
Didn't get many artifact quest items.
So it doesn’t matter whether it is kept confidential or not.
After Heart Follows Me came back, the five-man team worked together to kill monsters very quickly.
However, as their levels increase, they now need a huge amount of experience points if they want to upgrade.
Even if they brushed quickly, it would take several days to reach the next level.
Of course, if Zhang Shan were to do it alone, it might be faster, but not much faster.
Besides, he had to take Boss Wu with him to kill monsters anyway, and now that there were five people killing monsters together, it didn't reduce his upgrade efficiency too much.
After all, Fengyun Yidao and Xin Sui Wo Dong can be refreshed very quickly. Currently, there is only Xiao Yaojing in the team, who is a burden.
Compared to the monster-killing efficiency of the three of them, the little elf's monster-killing speed is much slower.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The little goblins had no magical weapons and their attack power was far inferior to theirs.
Besides, the speed at which archers kill monsters is not fast enough.
Although the fairy spawns a little slower, no one wants to kick her out of the team.
Anyway, a monster-killing team should have five people to be most efficient.
Although the goblin is slower than them in killing monsters, it is not slow compared to others.
Except for not having a magic weapon, she is no worse than others in other aspects, and her skills are also very good.
The little fairy also has a skill called Wrath of the Stars, which is very powerful at least when fighting.
When Zhang Shan was concentrating on killing monsters, Feng Yun Yidao suddenly asked him.
"Brother Liu Guan, there will be monsters attacking the Demon Suppression City tomorrow. Have you told the boss?"
"Shit, I forgot."
Zhang Shan really forgot about it. He had done too many things today and really didn't remember about it.
Fengyun Yidao was speechless. Could this be forgotten?
"You are really a big shot. I admire you. How could you forget this? If you don't tell me in advance, where can you find people to help you defend the city tomorrow? It can't be just the five of us to defend the Demon Town City, right?"
"Brother, I was wrong. I will go find the boss and ask him to make the arrangements."
Fengyun Yidao is right. If you want to find guild members to help defend the city, you must make sure to let them know in advance.
Otherwise, it’s not certain how many people will be online tomorrow.
Besides, others may have other plans tomorrow, so this won’t be discussed in advance.
By then, it would be great if half of the guild could come.
After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he immediately called Fengyun Tianxia.
"Boss, there will be a monster attack in the Demon Suppression City tomorrow. Tell everyone so that they can all come. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the city."
Hearing Zhang Shan’s call, Fengyun Tianxia was a little confused.
"What monster siege? How come I don't know about it?"
There is no such thing in Fengyun Tianxia at all. After hearing what Zhang Shan said, he thought it was the monster siege activity in the whole game.
After hearing what Zhang Shan said, Fengyun Tianxia went out of his way to check the system announcement.
He didn't see the announcement about the monster siege.
After hearing Feng Yun Tian Xia's answer, Zhang Shan knew that Feng Yun Tian Xia did not understand what he meant.
He quickly explained.
"It's the monster siege activity in the Demon Suppression City. It only happens in the Demon Suppression City. After I created the city information, I received a system prompt."
"Is it only targeting the monster siege activities in the Demon Suppression City?"
Fengyun Tianxia finally understood this time.
This is a kind of directional thinking of human beings. When it comes to monster siege activities, Fengyun Tianxia will of course think of the system announcement directly.
The monster siege event has been revised to once a month. There will definitely be a system announcement before each event.
He even forgot that the city built by Zhang Shan was not a system city, but a city built by players.
Some things will be very different from those in NPC cities.
Especially Zhang Shan’s Demon-Suppressing City, which was snatched from the demons. If you think about it this way.
It is understandable that after Zhang Shan built the city, he had to experience a monster siege.
"Yes, only for the Demon Suppression City, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock."
"Okay, I understand. I'll post an announcement on the guild channel later. Then you can explain it to the other guild members."
Not long after, Fengyun Tianxia released an announcement in the guild channel.
The general content is that there will be a monster siege in the Demon-Suppressing City of Liuguan City Lord (Zhang Shan) at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.
Everyone please try to be online, and then go together to defend the city and fight the boss.
After Fengyun Tianxia released the announcement, the guild channel suddenly became lively.
"Haha, there are monster siege activities in the newly built city? There will be bosses to fight."
"There will definitely be a boss, but I wonder if we can defeat him?"
"Why are you worried? We can defeat a fierce real-name boss like Magnus. The small bosses in siege activities are no problem at all."
"Yes, there is nothing to worry about. No matter how strong the boss is at this stage, he can't be stronger than Magnus."
"I wonder how many bosses will appear when the monsters attack the city tomorrow. If there are a lot of them, that would be great. Maybe we can even get another artifact."
"Don't dream. It would be great if I could get some experience points and some junk equipment."
"Are we the only ones in our guild going to defend the city tomorrow? Should we seek outside help? It would be ridiculous if we can't defend the city."
"You must be kidding me. Our entire guild of 100,000 people can't defend a small city?"
"The problem is, we don't know what kind of monsters will appear when they attack the city. If the monsters are too powerful, we won't be able to stop them."
"Sixth tube, are you looking for external help? If necessary, I will go find someone."
Fengyun Tianxia asked Zhang Shan.
To be honest, none of them had ever experienced a monster siege in a player's city.
No one knows how strong the monster siege will be, and what levels of monsters and bosses will come to attack the city.
If there were too many monsters and they were too strong, their guild might not be able to withstand them.
It is not shameful to call for external assistance. It is much better than failing to defend the city.
Zhang Shan considered Fengyun Tianxia's suggestion seriously, but still felt it was unnecessary.
It is mainly the Demon-Suppressing City, which is not very big.
If all 100,000 people in their guild are there, that number is not small.
If too many people come, there won't be enough room to stand, and it will be crowded, which is unnecessary.
Besides, if too many people participate in defending the city, it could easily lead to chaos.
For example, when a boss appears, everyone goes to grab him, so what's the point of defending the city?
It would be better for us to let our own guild guard the city.
After all, people from your own guild are easier to control and won’t cause any trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shan replied on the guild channel.
"There's no need to ask for outside help. We have 100,000 people in our guild, which is already enough. Demon Suppression City is not a big city. If there are too many people, there will be no place to stand. In addition, I have prepared twelve six-barreled Vulcan cannons, which can also play a significant role in defending the city."
"Fuck, has the boss already built the six-barrel Vulcan cannon?"
"Well, there wasn't enough material, so we only built twelve."
After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had not collected enough materials.
But there are so many people in the guild, maybe others also have the corresponding materials.
Let's ask, if we can gather some more materials and build a few more Vulcan cannons, then tomorrow's monster siege will be much more stable.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shan continued to ask on the guild channel.
"Do you have the materials to build a six-barreled Vulcan cannon? I bought up all the materials at the auction house, and I can only build twelve."
After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he displayed the names of the two most scarce materials needed to build the Vulcan Cannon on the guild channel.
There are quite a few materials needed to build a six-barreled Vulcan cannon.
However, most of them are common materials and can be bought at the auction house as long as you are willing to spend money.
It's nothing more than spending a few more gold coins.
However, there were not many of two of the materials available at the auction house, and Zhang Shan basically bought them all last time.
So he asked on the guild channel to see if anyone had it saved.
After all, materials that people don’t use on a daily basis will not be sold randomly and are usually stored in warehouses.
"I think I have one, Six-tube boss, do you want it?"
"One, too."
Zhang Shan doesn't mind. If you give one to him, won't it accumulate over time?
"I think I have two or three, but I can't remember exactly. When I return to the city, I'll take a look and mail them to you if there are any."
"There are so many messy materials in the warehouse that I can't remember them all. Before I go offline tonight, go to the warehouse and check. If there is any, I will mail it to you."
The guild members talked to each other and found out that some people actually had the materials to build the Vulcan cannon.
Although the number is small, it is good to be able to build one more Vulcan cannon.
The output capacity of a Vulcan cannon is almost equivalent to Zhang Shan’s own damage output.
Compared with other players, it is dozens of times stronger.
The key is that the six-barreled Vulcan cannon has a longer range, a full hundred yards.
If the range is longer, the advantage in city defense activities will be very obvious.
You can use firepower to block the advance route of siege monsters at a longer distance.
If the materials were really hard to come by, Zhang Shan would have wanted to build hundreds of Vulcan cannons in one go.
The entire wall of the Demon-Suppressing City was directly covered with six-barreled Vulcan cannons.
In that case, he wouldn't need anyone in the guild to help defend the city.
He can deal with the monsters attacking the city with his teammates.
Unfortunately, the material is too difficult to get.
We’ll have to wait and see tomorrow to see if the guild members are helpful and how many copies of the materials for the six-barrel Vulcan cannon they can find for him.
His current proficiency in the Vulcan cannon is not high enough.
The current construction success rate is about 50%, and two sets of materials are required to build a Vulcan cannon.
The next afternoon, Zhang Shan checked his email and found that there were about ten pieces of materials sent by guild members.
If we put them together, we can get six sets of materials.
He took out all the materials from the mail and sent the gold coins back to them at double the price.
These people helped him a lot, otherwise he would not know where to buy materials with the gold coins.
Zhang Shan looked at the time. It was a little after four in the afternoon, and the monster siege would start at eight in the evening.
I need to log off to eat later, so let's go back to the city and use up these materials first, and see if I can build a few six-barrel Vulcan cannons.
He stopped killing monsters and spoke to his teammates.
"I'll go back for a moment and try again to see how many six-barreled Vulcan cannons I can build."
After Zhang Shan finished speaking, Feng Yun Yidao asked him.
“How many materials do you have now?”
"There are six copies at the moment. When I get back, I'll go to the auction house and see if I can buy some more."
"Try to get as many as you can. These six-barreled Vulcan cannons are very powerful. One can be as powerful as dozens of powerful players."
"Yes, but it's a pity that the materials are hard to find."
"It's hard to find. If the materials were not in short supply, you could build thousands of Vulcan cannons. Others would be left with nothing."
"That's right, I'll go back first."
Zhang Shan said okay, and started reading the message to return to the city.
His positioning bead can only locate three coordinates, one of which is in front of the stone tablet in the City Lord's Mansion of Demon-Suppressing City.
One is in the Gri Wasteland, and the other coordinate is left empty for future use.
The coordinates originally located at the Dangyang City Auction House had long been cancelled by him.
Now you can only read the bar to return to the city, and you can no longer teleport back directly like before.
After returning to Dangyang City, Zhang Shan first teleported to the auction house to see if there were any new materials.
Several days had passed since he went up to buy up all the materials at the auction house.
He actually found two more pieces of information.
Including those mailed to him by guild members, he now has a total of eight materials.
I hope we can build a few more, at least four.
Zhang Shan brought the materials and teleported to the guild residence. By using the guild contribution, he entered the guild workshop.
I came to the operating table and placed the first batch of materials on it. There was a flash of fire, and it failed.
It doesn’t matter, come again.
Another failure.
Zhang Shan was extremely depressed.
Damn it, there are only eight sets of materials in total, and two of them were wasted.
Could it be that because I haven’t built the Vulcan cannon for several days, my hands have become numb?
Why is the failure rate so high?
Generally speaking, with his current level of proficiency, he should have a 50% success rate.
Although it is frustrating, the construction must continue.
Zhang Shan continued to place the materials on the workbench.
After a flash of light, a mini six-barreled Vulcan cannon slowly appeared on the operating table.
Haha, I finally built another one.
Ok, come again.
Zhang Shan then used up all the remaining five portions of materials.
All of them were built successfully.
It's just such good luck.
In other words, he used eight pieces of materials to build six Vulcan cannons this time.
This success rate is acceptable .
There were still four cannons left in Zhang Shan's backpack, plus the six newly built Vulcan cannons.
He now has ten six-barreled Vulcan cannons in his hands.
He had also placed four of them on the gate tower of the Demon-Suppressing City.
Not counting the four in the City Lord's Mansion, he prepared fourteen six-barreled Vulcan cannons just for city defense.
That should be enough.
After completing the construction of the Vulcan cannon, Zhang Shan repaired the equipment and bought supplies at the same time.
Then use the positioning bead to teleport back to the place where the monsters were spawned before.
Seeing Zhang Shan coming back, Feng Yun Yidao asked him.
"Is it done? How many have been made this time?"
"Six, there are still four left from last time, so there are ten in total that have not been deployed."
"How are you going to deploy these Vulcan cannons?"
Fengyun Yidao continued to ask.
"Distribute them evenly. Put two or three on each wall, and they will basically be able to control a long distance. But we have to wait until the monsters start to attack the city before deploying the Vulcan cannons. We are not sure yet whether the monsters will attack the walls or go through the city gates."
Zhang Shan thought for a while and then replied.
The main thing is that no one has ever experienced a monster siege in a player’s city.
No one knows what it looks like exactly.
The game New World is very different from other games.
Take this monster siege activity for example.
At the beginning, the monsters appeared directly in the city.
After the revision, siege monsters could not enter the NPC city. If players wanted to make contributions to defending the city, they could only spawn monsters outside the city.
Zhang Shan felt that this time the monster siege in the Demon-Suppressing City would definitely be different from the previous ones.
Because the previous siege monsters would not destroy the city.
This time, the system prompt said that the demons were going to destroy the Demon-Suppressing City.
There are two ways to destroy the Demon-Suppressing City.
One way is to directly demolish the city wall, and the other is to enter the city lord's mansion and destroy the city lord's golden seal.
Zhang Shan prefers the first one.
Because if the demons can directly enter the City Lord's Mansion, then there is no point in defending it. It is impossible to defend it at all.
It is only feasible to attack the city walls that the players refuse to defend.
However, all of this is speculation. The ten Vulcan cannons in his backpack are his most critical mobile force.
If at the beginning, we could rely on the strength of guild members to defend the city.
Keep these ten Vulcan cannons until the monster siege is over.
"That's right. After the monsters start attacking the city, we can deploy the Vulcan Cannon depending on the situation. That's the best option. Anyway, you can teleport in the city and quickly reach any location."
"Well, we'll see when the time comes."
When it was time for dinner, Zhang Shan went to the little fairy's house for dinner as usual.
He is now used to eating it and doesn't even need the little goblin to call him.
After logging off and packing up, he ran to the little goblin's house next door and came back after dinner.
Although Zhang Shan felt that this seemed a little unpleasant, he got used to it after eating it a few times.
Besides, Boss Wu hasn’t moved in so soon as his house is still being renovated.
Boss Wu is not like Zhang Shan who can just drag a box and move into a new house.
He also needs to design a special decoration, and he probably won't move in before the end of the year.
By the time Boss Wu moved in, Zhang Shan wasn't sure whether he should go to his house for dinner in the future.
Because now, he has become accustomed to eating at the little goblin's house.
After dinner, Zhang Shan shouted in the guild channel while killing monsters until 7:30.
"There will be a monster siege at 8 o'clock, everyone remember to come early."
"receive."
"Received +1."
"Received +2."
"Received +3."
"Received +10086."
"Got it, don't worry, sir. With me here, the Demon Suppression City is as solid as a rock."
"Fuck, you are just bragging about this."
"Ha ha."
Zhang Shan used the positioning bead to teleport to the stone tablet in the Lord's Mansion of Demon-Suppressing City.
He also had to control the teleportation formation.
Otherwise, if a large group of people come to cause trouble when monsters attack the city, it will be troublesome.
However, after the teleportation array was opened, he could only adjust the charging standards but could not close the teleportation array.
It would be fine if the charges could be raised, but he just didn’t believe it.
Even if someone wants to be nice to him, he won't be mean to the gold coins.
Later he will adjust the teleportation fee to 10,000 gold coins per time. I hope no one will come to cause trouble.
Even if there really are idiots like this, there shouldn't be too many of them.
After all, it costs 10,000 gold coins to teleport one person.
To teleport 10,000 people, it would cost 100 million gold coins.
After all, there shouldn't be many wealthy people like Black Gold in the entire game.
Moreover, if all the 100,000 members of their Fengyun Guild were there.
Even if you teleport a few thousand or tens of thousands of people over here, don't even think about causing trouble, they can be wiped out in minutes.
If they want to come here to cause trouble, they would have to teleport tens of thousands of people over.
Zhang Shan really didn't believe that anyone would spend hundreds of millions of gold coins to make things difficult for him.
Even if he offended the most ruthless and domineering king, he probably wouldn't do that.
Regardless of whether there are such idiots or not, Zhang Shan always goes at his own pace.
He raised the fee for the teleportation array to ten thousand gold coins per time.
Moreover, Zhang Shan also posted a notice on the world channel this time.
World Channel:
Six-tube Bodhisattva: At 8 o'clock tonight, monsters will attack the Demon-Suppressing City. I have raised the teleportation fee to 10,000 gold coins. I hope everyone will not teleport here for the time being.
As soon as Zhang Shan finished speaking, the entire world channel suddenly became lively.
"Monsters attacking the city? What does that mean?"
"This month's monster siege event hasn't arrived yet, I remember it was on the 18th."
"You are really stubborn. The Six-pipe Bodhisattva was talking about the monster siege of the Demon Suppression City, not everyone's monster siege activity together."
"Damn, after players build a city, they still have to endure monster sieges?"
"It looks like it should be."
"Haha, I want to go over and play a little bit, maybe I can pick up a Boss."
"You still want to pick up the Boss? I'm afraid you're overthinking it. Can you afford the teleportation fee?"
"Fuck, 10,000 gold coins for the transfer. Heizi Liu is back again."
"It's okay this time. At least the Six-tube Bodhisattva has given us a heads-up in advance. As long as they are not the ones who want to cause trouble, I think no one will teleport over at this time."
"I see. It turns out that the Six-Guard Bodhisattva is afraid that someone will come over and cause trouble."
"If he was worried about someone causing trouble, he could just not say it. Why did he say it out loud?"
"Nonsense, can he just not say anything? There are still many players in the Demon Suppression City. They are not blind. Once the monsters start attacking the city, everyone will know."
"Oh, that's right."
"Hey, everyone, guess whether someone will come over and cause trouble later?"
"Do we need to guess? There must be some, but if there aren't many people going there, there won't be any waves."
"I think the Domineering King must have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, right?"
"The domineering king? Does he dare to go there? It's not that I look down on him, he went there to give it to you."
"Yeah, it costs 10,000 gold coins to teleport once. How many people can the Domineering King bring with him? If it weren't for the large number of people, the Domineering King would just be a piece of trash."
"If the domineering king intends to spend a lot of money, then it's hard to say."
"Who knows? It's not our business."
After adjusting the charges of the teleportation array, Zhang Shan watched the players' discussions on the world channel for a while.
Suddenly I felt that he might have underestimated the domineering king.
This iron-headed kid might really be willing to spend a lot of money to teleport people over to cause trouble for him.
He has to be on guard.
But how to defend against it? The teleportation array cannot be closed.
Zhang Shan thought for a while and suddenly slapped his head.
Oh my god, I'm such a stubborn person.
Why must the teleportation array be shut down? Wouldn't it be the same if the teleportation array was blocked outside?
Just like the last time they went to Lantian City to massacre the people, they set up defenses outside the teleportation hall.
It is difficult for others to rush over.
