Chapter 674: You always have to cast bait before fishing
On Paradise Island, Lao Qu, a veteran Eden player, was humming a song as he walked on a street full of Spartans.
He was wearing a tight sword-wearing outfit of a Ku Mu realm cultivator, and he walked with great vigor. On his head, he wore a magical hat that concealed his entire body's aura and prevented others from observing him.
He also carried a shiny silver dragon bone spear on his back. When it was not exerting its power, bursts of cold dragon energy emanated from it.
This gives Lao Qu the temperament of a master.
He is now extraordinary.
In the great battle of the West Sea Demon Disaster, Lao Qu performed extremely well in the constantly refreshing battle missions, and luckily survived. He also took advantage of the chaos to kill several mixed-blood demon dragons with a group of friends.
All of the fine equipment he was wearing was made of materials he had hunted, and was tailor-made for him by weapon makers in Mo Shuang Mountain. They were all epic-level, top-quality magic weapons. In addition, he had used his merits to exchange for several opportunities to receive training from senior masters.
He also received a battle reward from the quartermaster Miss Bai Ze, and got a good martial arts method that could be used to cultivate to the divine realm.
Now, Lao Qu is already a body cultivator who has just entered the realm of truth.
The upgrade speed was extremely fast, and the combat power improvement was also very exaggerated, allowing Lao Qu to successfully become one of the top players in Eden. He was also honored to be in the "Cultivation Hall of Fame" in the entire game of All Realms Coming, and became an absolute star player.
They are even qualified to take apprentices.
This time when he returns to Kumu Realm from the MAGA world, he will be transferred to the newly built "Eden Mountain" in the southern wilderness, which is a small sect created by the Eden players, to serve as an elder who teaches skills.
The above honors are very exciting for Lao Qu.
But the most gratifying thing is that as his strength increases rapidly, his status in his secret organization "The Redeemer" is also improving.
The attitude of Juno Cousins, the captain whom he had been thinking about day and night, towards him also changed a little.
Just now, when he visited his team leader, he had a meal with the beautiful team leader and presented her with a gift he had carefully prepared, which raised the intimacy between him and the team leader to that of "friends".
"I've already figured out Juno's preferences. Next time I come over, I'll be able to please her and increase her favorability."
Lao Qu was thinking in his mind:
"At this rate, I will be able to reach 'Intimacy' within a year, and then I can start a love campaign and accompany the leader to travel around various worlds.
As long as you seize the opportunity, you might be able to win it in one fell swoop one day!
Tsk tsk."
This veteran player had some very dirty thoughts in his mind.
But it is not impossible.
While the campaign mission of the Western Sea Scourge was underway, an Eden player had already unlocked the "marriage" achievement in the wasteland world. It was said that he had raised the favorability of a female war engineer from the Black Hand to the maximum level, and luckily his proposal was successful.
In this game with extremely high degree of freedom, anything can be done.
There are rumors everywhere in the forum now. According to some well-informed people, the center will open a "family inheritance system" in the next major update.
In other words, players can have children with NPCs.
This news made Lao Qu extremely excited. He had already made up his mind to set the Ku Mu Realm, where he could quickly improve his strength, as his main world.
With Captain Juno's personality, she must like strong men. In order to trick the captain into bed, she must become strong as soon as possible.
He was somewhat impatient to go back to Ku Mu Realm to do something big. He had previously killed an evil cultivator who had been possessed by a demon during the West Sea Demon Disaster and accidentally obtained a treasure map.
It is said that it can unlock the secret treasure of an ancient monk. I must find it as soon as I go back this time.
"Ding, new task reminder."
Just as Lao Qu was excitedly rushing towards the star gate near Valhalla, he suddenly received a task prompt. He expanded the task details, only to find that this task was issued to all players in all worlds.
It's a donation mission.
"The World Tree Consortium is about to start a major operation. This operation will affect the safety of countless worlds across the stars. Warriors, the Consortium needs your strength!
The Kumu Salvation Army discovered the design drawings of the secret treasure 'Zhou Tian Xing Array' from five hundred years ago in their world. This is a magical treasure that can connect to countless worlds at the same time.
But it is very difficult to make, requiring precious materials from various worlds.
Warriors in the currently developed disaster nodes are requested to search for the items needed to create the Zhoutian Star Array in their respective worlds according to the list of material requirements.
The duration of this mission is three months, and the reward pool is open.”
After reading the mission description, Lao Qu immediately realized that this was a sign of the beginning of a huge battle, but the players didn't care about the story background, they only cared about the rewards.
He glanced at the reward pool and his eyes immediately widened.
Good job.
This time the reward pool is unexpectedly generous, covering almost all the high-level items that have appeared in the Advent of All Realms.
Massive computing power, the ashes of kings, "immortal" sequence gene injections, "god" series gene injections, the creation wonders of the MAGA world, and the top skills and magic weapons of the Kumu Realm.
The top ten players in terms of contribution can even get the original embryo of the spiritual treasure made by Mo Jun, the second generation of Mo Shuang Mountain!
“Done!”
Lao Qu praised loudly and looked back at the small courtyard where the captain was. He stepped into the star gate in front of him with a heroic spirit, determined to do a great job in this donation mission.
Captain, wait for me to ride on the colorful clouds to marry you.
Ignore those other slutty bitches who are trying to fawn on you!
——
"Hmm? Are there any unusual movements by the invaders?"
At the same time, in the MAGA world, in a secret base located in the African desert.
Dr. Annihilation, who was busy writing a new communication system, suddenly received a strange message on the information monitor he carried with him.
The famous super villain raised his wrist and released the information in the form of optical projection.
To his surprise, what appeared before his eyes was the text of the donation task that the Navigation Center had just issued to all Eden players.
Obviously, this smart man had already used his wisdom to notice the existence of Eden players and quickly figured out their action patterns.
He used high rewards to lure a large group of weak-willed Eden players to serve him.
This is also a special game PVP mode unique to the MAGA world.
In this world, Eden players can choose to help the World Tree Consortium, or join the Guardians of the World Heart to fight against Lao Jiang and his gang.
They were divided into two camps, and not only had to fight wits and courage with the superhumans in this world, but also had to fight each other.
Because of the existence of this special mode, the number of players in the MAGA world is particularly large. Every three days, a city will be designated as a PVP area.
Players who love to fight each other will have a blast in it.
The fighting between players in the two camps has even gone beyond the opposition between heroes and villains, becoming a sign of the main contradiction in the M world.
But PVP also has rules.
Stop when you have time and don't kill anyone.
You can schedule a fight in advance, and the loser has to hand over the good things on him.
In short, there are currently a large number of players serving the Guardians of the World's Heart in World M, which allows Dr. Annihilation and his companions to have sufficient human resources to mobilize.
They can ask Eden players to search for materials or resolve some personal conflicts for them without showing up.
Well, these players from another world are really easy to use, and there’s no need to worry about casualties. It’s also a good choice to let them take the blame occasionally.
These Eden players have a poor sense of confidentiality, which allows the group of superhumans guarding the Heart of the World to occasionally learn about some important actions of their opponents from them.
For example, now.
"A star array blueprint that can lead to every world in the stars..."
Like Tokamak, Dr. Annihilation, who was wearing a suit of mechanical armor, had a very interested light in his eyes.
Their ongoing plan of "diverting trouble to the east" happened to lack a magical item that could travel through the world, and they had originally planned to snatch a star array leading to the Bitter Wood Realm from the World Tree Consortium.
However, the failure rate of this plan is too high and there are many uncontrollable factors, so it has never been implemented.
Now, this "Zhou Tian Star Array" that was delivered to their doorstep seemed to fit in with their plan just by looking at the description.
However, super villains are not easy to fool.
The moment he saw the message, he realized that this was most likely a trap to lure them into it, and perhaps the encrypted communication system he designed himself had been cracked by the other party.
If we think about the worst case scenario, our actions may be used against us by the other party.
A suspicious light flashed in Doctor Annihilation's eyes under his armor.
He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table as he thought. After a few minutes, this super-intelligent villain decided to tell the news to his companions.
Although he looked down on the inferior wisdom of his companions, it would be better to notify them in advance for something that concerns the interests of everyone.
Soon, other members sent back messages.
"I admit that your thinking makes sense, but what if you are being used?"
A top hero named "Beast King" responded via email:
"Our goal is clear and consistent, which is to let Lady Barbara go to the invader 's world, release the power of disaster there, and then bring her back after she becomes pure.
The other party has sent us the tool we need most to complete our plan, as long as it can indeed open the star gate to the world of Kusam.
As for where the Zhoutian Star Array can take Barbara, that is not a question we need to consider."
“That’s right!”
The "Blood Ancestor" of the Vampire Church also sent a message.
The malice of this old vampire who has lived for thousands of years is even more obvious. It said quite bluntly:
"When we first set up this plan, everyone had already reached a consensus. As long as Madam Barbara sets foot on the land of Sufferwood or any other world, we will have already won half of the victory.
If we can bring her back safely, we will win!
We don't even need to bring her back safely, as long as the power of the World Heart in her body remains intact. The 'Earth Core Laboratory' where the invaders created such a unique World Heart carrier has been found.
If we can crack the secrets, we can do the same.
It's you who have been disagreeing with my plan...
Lady Barbara is so weak!
She clearly has the power to rule the world, but she has always been too cowardly to use it. If I can transform her into my bloodline, we can control this power!"
"Shut up, old vampire."
The "Millennium King" of the Yellow Sand Empire cursed rudely:
"We are saving the world, but you want to rule us. Do you think we are blind, you idiot?"
"What did you say? You stinking mummy, I want..."
“That’s enough!”
Seeing that the big shots were about to quarrel again, Dr. Annihilation knocked on the table and said in a cold voice:
"You can settle your personal grudges in private. Now let's discuss business! What do you think? Should we get the design of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Array'?"
"right!"
"agree."
"Yes."
A group of people expressed their opinions. No one objected. Dr. Annihilation nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll plan and execute this matter. You continue to protect Madam Barbara. She is the top priority and nothing can go wrong with her. Where is Madam now?"
"She went out to persuade the monk from Kumu Territory to surrender. That madman has killed three waves of envoys we sent. He didn't even give us a chance to negotiate.
Don't worry, I know what you're going to say.
Holy Sword and White Knight are bringing many people to protect Barbara in secret, so nothing will go wrong.
That guide is necessary. You said it yourself. You need to extract the precise coordinates of the Ku Mu world from him. With him and the Zhou Tian Star Array, our plan can proceed to the execution stage.
While the invaders' world is destroyed, our world will be preserved...
It’s a necessary evil!”
