Back to the real island villa.
The young and beautiful maid housekeeper was preparing breakfast for Xu Mu.
The maid only knew that Xu Mu was a dungeon player, but had no idea about his dungeon strength, level or other numerical values.
In fact, after the advent of the copy era, players have become an indispensable part of society.
Many player stars have already replaced traffic stars and become household names.
But for ordinary people who cannot adapt to the copy, a natural information barrier has been formed between them and the players in the past five years.
All I know is that these players are very powerful, extremely strong, and as swift as snakes.
Moreover, he is very wealthy and has many billions, and is close to people with his billions.
No matter how much information you have, you can only listen to the news or hear it from others.
For the employer I currently serve.
The maid knew nothing about Xu Mu.
He rarely stayed in the villa and spent the whole day in the copy.
There is very little intersection with myself.
Fortunately, this employer was usually mild-tempered and never made things difficult for her.
The maid has heard that some players have bad tempers and like to punch the weaker ones around them when they disagree with them.
She was rejoicing in her heart.
Therefore, he became more and more concerned about Xu Mu's service.
He was so attentive that he almost warmed Xu Mu's bed.
Today, I pushed the dining cart as usual and just knocked on Xu Mu's door.
The maid saw a scene that made her turn pale.
I saw Xu Mu pushing open the window and trying to get out by clinging to the window frame .
Although the single-family villa has few floors, the ceiling height of each floor is not low. This is the third floor, and the height has reached more than 15 meters.
The maid was about to speak out to stop him.
But Xu Mu jumped in like a fish leaping into the water...
The maid's brain suddenly went blank.
Anyone who can live on an island in the sea must be either rich or noble.
If anything goes wrong, this...
Just when the young maid felt that her future in life was bleak and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She looked out the window.
Xu Mu was originally in free fall, and according to a normal person, he would have been smashed to pieces by this time, but now he turned around and soared into the air in an instant!
He faced the rising sun, flying higher and higher!
The maid's tear-stained face was filled with astonishment and shock!
“Fly…fly?”
…
The feeling of flying in the air is amazing.
From a bird's-eye view, the entire Sea Island and the surrounding coastal buildings are in full view.
This is quite different from the effect presented by the Eye of the Blue Sky.
The Eye of the Blue Sky needs to be activated with consciousness, and after the perspective is opened, the range of one's own naked eyes will be covered.
If you move your vision elsewhere and want to see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the area around you will enter the blind spot.
It is only suitable for use during reconnaissance, but cannot be used for real-time focusing during combat.
While in the suspended state, your sight and your body move synchronously, which is very convenient.
Moreover, the body can move more flexibly in the sky.
Previously, once encountering an enemy, adjustments could only be made within a 360-degree range, and the jump was only in a small range.
Nowadays, if you encounter danger, you can jump to the top of a building with hundreds of floors, or observe from a high point.
Or you can use the gravitational potential energy of falling from a high place to convert it into kinetic energy, causing a higher damage attack.
The practicality is greatly improved.
Xu Mu flew in the sky for a long time before slowly landing outside the villa.
The maid had already been standing at the gate of the villa, craning her neck to stare at the small black dot in the air until it landed in front of her. Only then did she come back to her senses from her shock and hurriedly turned into the house to prepare breakfast for Xu Mu.
After breakfast.
Xu Mu briefly communicated with the maid, stating that he no longer needed housekeeping services and thanked her for her hard work during this period.
At first, the suggestion scared the maid, who thought she was not taking good care of her.
After all, if the employer is not satisfied and complains, there will be a professional black spot in the records of the maid and housekeeper company.
When you look for a housekeeping job in the future, meeting a quality employer will become less of a priority.
However, after Xu Mu's patient explanation, the maid realized that she was not fired because of her poor performance.
Xu Mu also promised to give her a five-star rating and paid her an additional three times her salary as dismissal compensation.
"Thank you for taking care of me... If there is a chance in the future, please return the favor next time..." Before leaving, the maid smiled timidly and shyly.
Xu Mu: “…”
You better have been a housekeeper!
After bidding farewell to the maid, Xu Mu is going to summon a free maid that truly belongs to him!
The first-pass reward in the "Detroit" copy: RX800 type bionic man!
Customized the style on the backpack selection screen.
Feminine, gentle type.
In terms of appearance, Xu Mu still prefers the exquisiteness and grace of oriental girls.
In the option of 'whether to allow free thinking', Xu Mu chose to turn it on without hesitation.
Giving androids self-awareness wouldn't be a bad thing.
On the contrary, in many cases, they are more reliable than humans, and their error rate is almost zero.
As sporadic blue light particles floated out of the backpack, they eventually slowly took shape into a human figure in front of Xu Mu.
A naked bionic girl without any clothes stood in front of him.
"Hello, my master."
"You gave me life."
"I will dedicate my whole life to you."
As she spoke, she bent down and bowed respectfully to Xu Mu.
The two lumps of milky white snow on her chest were fully displayed, swaying, making Xu Mu dazzled.
His eyes moved downwards uncontrollably, and Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh slightly.
“This is too realistic…”
Fortunately, there were spare windbreakers in my backpack, so I took out one and handed it over first.
Xu Mu thought about it and simply gave her a name.
"From now on, you can call me Xiao Ai."
Xiao Ai online, Xiao Ai offline.
Well, easy to understand.
Xiao Ai is, after all, a high-tech product with strong self-learning capabilities.
Seeing that she had begun to operate autonomously and began to explore the room one by one, mostly recording data such as space, range, and furnishings, Xu Mu also began to busy himself with his own things.
The 28 million points I just received can be spent well.
He flipped his palm and took out two potential books and looked at them.
The beast physique can improve one's ability to withstand blows and recovery speed.
But unfortunately it is only of purple quality and the effect is mediocre.
"I feel like it can be combined with the health attribute after being strengthened by the Holy Fire, so let's put it aside for now." Xu Mu thought to himself.
28 million points may seem like a lot, but if both potential books are twisted at a high intensity, the consumption will be huge, and some old potentials will also need to be upgraded.
His eyes fell on another book of potential.
【Preview】
Quality: Red
Effect: When entering a battle, you can calculate the opponent's attack path in advance and take corresponding defensive/offensive postures based on the path.
Upper limit: one path can be previewed at a time
Consumption: Each preview consumes 30 points of spirit value
Description: From which angle will you attack?
…
Xu Mu's eyes narrowed slightly!
nice one!
Sure enough, after the quality level goes up, the effects of the potential books that appear are very nice!
After more than a month of observation and adaptation.
Xu Mu discovered that these potential books also have a hidden mechanism.
The lower the quality of a potential book, the more limitations it will have even if the quality is adjusted up.
But the potential book opens high at the beginning. Even if the potential drops to white during the adjustment process, it is much stronger than the regular white quality potential.
Some are similar to the player's understanding, potential, etc.
Of course, for a potential book that opens high, the initial consumption required for reversal is also high.
The first reversal of red quality requires 200,000 points.
However, what surprised Xu Mu was that
Maybe it’s because my luck value has increased, or maybe it’s because I was too unlucky the previous times.
In short, this time it only cost 5 million points to successfully reverse the golden mutation potential!
【Time-stop performance】
Quality: Gold
Effect: When entering a battle, you can enter a time-stop state, where your relative speed is close to the speed of light, but you cannot move. And you can build a virtual model of the opponent's movement path for pre-performance!
Upper limit: Three path models can be established each time
Consumption: Each virtual performance consumes 50 points of spiritual value
Description: See through your fist? No, see through your past!
…
Looking at the introduction, Xu Mu was somewhat overjoyed!
Time stopped? I don't want to... No, now is not the time to think about these things.
This effect is not just a little bit strong!
Previously, you could only build the opponent's action route, but now you can model it directly in your mind! The opponent's offensive will be clearer.
It can also model three times in one breath, rehearsing the three most likely attacks of the opponent in advance.
And the most important effect is.
A preview of red quality, when establishing the path, the opponent can also act.
Therefore, judgments can only be made quickly in a very short period of time.
But the mutated golden quality [Time Stop Performance] can make the opponent enter a state of time standing still!
Of course, it is not really possible to make the whole world stop in time.
It is only because his own relative speed has been increased to near the speed of light that even if the world is functioning normally, in his own eyes it is equivalent to being slowed down countless times, almost as if time has stopped.
You can leisurely analyze your opponent's attack methods, and then perfectly parry or punch every time!
Watertight defense!
"What a pity! It would be perfect if I could still move when time stops." Xu Mu said regretfully.
But he dismissed the idea in an instant.
If I were allowed to move at a speed close to the speed of light, I'm afraid that during the movement, all the particles in my body would collide with the microscopic particles in the air and explode with nuclear fusion-level energy! I would split and disintegrate on the spot!
To put it simply, if you get any closer, it will explode!
Therefore, not allowing movement during the [Time Stop Performance] is actually a way for potential to protect itself.
With the remaining 23 million points, Xu Mu upgraded all of his other potentials, including [Time Stop], to LV75.
Haifu's limit has been able to help him increase his lifespan by nearly 150 years!
The coverage of the Blue Sky Eye has also expanded to the entire Sea City!
The 3 rehearsal opportunities for time stop have also been increased to 8 times! The enemy's attack intentions in eight directions can be analyzed in an instant!
Gaining powerful potential is like gaining a powerful weapon in the game. You can't help but want to find a monster to chop it with.
Xu Mu was the same at this time, he was itching to fight.
But I couldn't find a qualified human sandbag.
Right at this moment.
The guild chat channel was buzzing with messages.
[A Flower in the Southern Region: Are there any brothers in the Southern Region? Brother Jie, please don’t let others beat you up! ]
[Jasmine: What? What's going on?]
[Zhu Guli: Who is it? I remember that Brother Jie had a good temper. What happened? ]
[Brother Jie: Brother Hua, forget it, it’s no big deal… Don’t talk about it in the group, don’t cause trouble for everyone…]
[A Flower in the Southern Region: No, I can’t f*cking swallow this! Brother Jie and I were happily playing the dungeon, but...]
Xu Mu opened the group chat and took a quick glance, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Basically, Brother Jie and Nanyu Yizhihua were in a B-level multiplayer dungeon, and they had an argument with another group of people over a hidden item.
That group of people felt resentful because they failed to rob the two brothers Jie in the copy.
He took the players with positioning potential directly to Brother Jie’s real home.
If it was just a bunch of C-level players fighting each other, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Nowadays, it is an era where strength is king. Problems that cannot be solved in copies can be solved in reality. This situation happens frequently and everyone is used to it.
But the problem is that the leading player in that group brought in foreign aid.
He directly asked his brother who had S-level strength to take action.
When an S-level player meets a C-level player in real life, the situation is no longer something that can be described as crushing.
The final result was that the S-level player made a random move and Brother Jie was nearly beaten to death. He gave up all the gains from this dungeon and only then escaped death.
At the same time, he spent all the savings he had accumulated over the past few years and sold his house at a low price.
He just bought a bottle of low-level potion to recover from his injuries and stepped back from the brink of death.
Xu Mu remembered that this player named "Brother Jie Don't Want" from his own guild was very enthusiastic in sharing the strategy to pass the level in the guild group yesterday.
And according to the membership information investigated by Xiao Ai, this player has never had any disputes with others in the dungeon before. He is a patient and honest person.
I'm afraid that the most likely scenario for this hidden prop was that it was discovered by Brother Jie and his gang, and then was intercepted by the group of people who arrived later, and some dispute ensued between the two sides.
This was not a big deal for Xu Mu, and S-level players were not something worth taking seriously.
But the players of their own guild were attacked by others without doing anything wrong.
As the guild president, I have basically been using the monarch offline system since the guild was established, and have not yet formally communicated with guild members.
If we can't help the members to resolve this matter, the morale of the guild will probably be dispersed.
This is a good opportunity for all members to calm down and stay in the guild to develop.
Thinking of this, Xu Mu opened the guild chat channel again.
The incident of Brother Jie being beaten had already caused an uproar in the group chat.
A group of players scolded the S-level player for being a non-human and intervening in the disputes of C-level players. At the same time, they asked about Brother Jie's injuries with concern.
At the same time, a transfer was initiated in the group chat, and a few to more than ten Red Moon Coins were transferred to Brother Jie.
Although Brother Jie was touched, he refused to accept it no matter what.
[A Big Watermelon: Brother Jie, take this money first, it's all the kindness of the club members. In the dungeon era, the survival space for us low-level players is already difficult, so we should stick together and move forward! ]
[Passing on the torch: Yes, we are all brothers, don’t refuse! ]
[Moli sent: Brother Jie, who are those people from the Southern Region who beat you up? Tell us, and we will help you think of a way to protest to the Southern Region government! At the very least, make them apologize to you!]
【Brother Jie: Don’t… Stop it. Let’s not make a big deal out of this. How could an S-level player apologize to a C-level player like me…】
[Going forward angrily: No! I'm getting angry just hearing about this. I have to go talk to the president privately to let him know! Maybe he'll help you out! ]
[Brother Jie, please don’t: Don’t do that!! I’m fine now after taking the recovery potion. The guild master is busy with dungeons every day, so please don’t disturb him…]
Seeing that everyone was very angry, Brother Jie had to bite the bullet and said: [Moreover, the other party is not a small one. They are backed by the sixth-level large guild in the southern region, the Mist Hidden Guild, and they are also on good terms with the core members of another sixth-level Haoyue Guild. I really shouldn’t cause trouble for the president with my own problems... I shouldn’t have been with the person who took the hidden item at that time. Blame it on me...]
As soon as I heard that the other party was from the Kirigakure Guild, and even knew the core members of the Haoyu Guild.
The group of people suddenly fell silent.
The Southern Region is a place where many big guys gather, and the most well-known ones are the six-level guilds headed by Wuyin, Haoyu, and Luoyue.
The minimum entry threshold for joining the guild is A+ level, and there are countless S-level players, and there is also an S-level president in charge.
These guild presidents can even chat and laugh with the Southern Territory Governor Ma Gongping, and are the top ones among the Southern Territory's elite!
If the people who injured Brother Jie were the subordinates of these top bosses.
I 'm afraid it's really hard to find justice...
【Going forward angrily: Alas... I still won't look for the president. Brother Jie, take these 100 Red Moon Coins. Consider them as money for the fruit I bought for you.】
[Guild member 'Fighting forward' distributed a designated red envelope! ]
no way.
The strength of the guild leader is listed on the guild rankings! Everyone can see that he is currently only A+.
For this group of people, A+ grade is already very good.
But for the top bosses in the Southern Region.
A+ grade...
Isn't this just sending someone to his death...
Just when everyone was sighing helplessly and thinking that they could only swallow their anger.
Suddenly, another message popped up in the guild group chat.
[A: Ajie, please send me the S-level player ID.]
Immediately, the group exploded again!
[Moli sent: Wow! President boss! ! ]
[Zhu Guli: Hello, President! ! ]
[Going forward in anger: Has the president also known about this... This is bad...]
[Brother Jie, don’t do that: Guild Master, it’s all my fault… I really like this guild, the atmosphere here, and everyone in the guild. I don’t want to cause any trouble for the guild…]
[A Big Watermelon: That’s right, Guild Master, calm down. The other party is indeed quite powerful... Let’s just focus on developing! We will rush to improve the guild level. After three to five years, maybe we will also be a sixth-level guild! Then...]
Just when everyone was trying to persuade him, fearing that their president would get too excited.
The president sent another message in a nonchalant tone.
【A: It doesn’t matter, send it. 】
————
at the same time.
Southern region.
Several gusts of wind quickly crossed the southern territory and were heading towards the City of the Sea at full speed!
Except Ma Gongping and Zhou Yi.
The presidents of all the sixth-tier guilds in the Southern Region followed behind him!
It is a rare opportunity to meet the player boss who has one foot halfway into the long steps to godhood!
Several presidents imprisoned Ma Gongping for a long time before they got this rare and precious opportunity.
"To be honest, I'm a little nervous. I don't know what I'm going to say to Boss A later." President Kirigakure said with a smile as he hurried on his way.
"Me too. I must make a good impression in front of Boss A later." President Haoyu continued.
"Who would have thought that our Southern Region would have a chance to turn things around? After being suppressed by the Northern Region for so many years, it's finally our turn to rise." Ma Gongping sighed.
At this moment, the player who was following the group to locate the target said in a low voice.
"Captain, the coordinates of Lord A are moving very fast! He seems to have left the City of the Sea! He is coming to our Southern Region from another route!"
"What?" Ma Gongping stopped abruptly, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Does Boss A also want to come to our Southern Region to play?"
"Isn't that better? In our territory, we will definitely give God A a clear reception!" President Kirigakure said with a smile.
"By the way, let Boss A experience the customs and culture of the Southern Region. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could settle down in the Southern Region?" President Haoyu also smiled.
"Well, let's go and turn around!" Ma Gongping nodded.
Immediately, he led a group of top bosses from the Southern Region and quickly turned back to track Xu Mu's coordinates.
