Chapter 1254: The Attack of the Bull
Niu Niu has had a fulfilling life these days.
After being entrusted with an important task by Xia Jinyu and learning a method to trigger a title with great potential, he did not rush to Dongxuanzhou Prefecture to complete the task, but made some plans first.
Niu Niu has always been a very planned player. His personality determines that he is less courageous than the occasionally sentimental [Blade Maniac and Sword Crazy], but not as unexpected as the Rootless Demon.
But he walked very steadily.
This steady development means that his combat power is not enough to compete for the title of the best, but he will definitely not fall out of the top five players in terms of comprehensive combat power.
However, his excessive pursuit of rationality often makes him lose some opportunities.
For example, when the Seven Stars of Vermillion Bird just showed their outstanding side, Niu Niu realized belatedly that when Lin Yi talked to him about whether he liked archery, he actually had the idea of taking him in as his successor.
But Niu Niu resolutely refused at that time. In addition, Lin Yi was not like Wang Jingyu. He always had concerns about the player group, so the slight signs of the master-disciple relationship that had appeared in the past were completely extinguished.
Later, this matter was passed on to some players, who jokingly called him blind, which put Niu Niu under a lot of pressure. It was not until he decisively abolished his own skills and threw himself into the arms of the magician, and proved his combat power in the battle with the Hidden Dragon List, that he did not fall out of the duo together with [Knife Maniac and Sword Maniac].
Now, whenever some jokes about Lin Yi were heard in the ghost market, Niu Niu never went up to join in the ridicule, because if he had not received Xia Jinyu's favor later, he would definitely be the biggest target of ridicule!
Lin Yi is just a little calf!
This also makes Niu Niu attach great importance to every opportunity and task that can bring new changes to himself.
And he must constantly reflect on himself and never again be called Kobayashi Tsubasa of the ghost market because of his momentary lack of vision.
It can be said that he has been under a lot of pressure these days because he experienced the war between the two worlds.
If we say that the past was an era of inheritance for players, as long as one clung to the thigh of a strong man and obtained the powerful skills taught by him, then one would surely come to the fore. But now is an era of naked titles!
Big-time players without titles are all losers!
Even titles like "I'm not a bootlicker" and "The most affectionate person in Kyushu" are not very serious, which are enough to prove his high potential.
The card master of [Blade Maniac and Sword Maniac] and the XX collector of Rootless Demon are both hailed as the top titles.
Of course, above the top, there is the Worry-Free Master, who is called God by players.
The recipient of this title, Bingzi Mo, has gradually moved away from the category of the Six Land-selling Demons. Some players have already called him the nickname [True Master of All Spirits], and his gaming experience has also become different from that of most players.
What stands out is that he is a god among gods!
But what about Niu Niu!
Apart from some rubbish titles he obtained after participating in the hegemony missions, he simply does not have the competitiveness to be a top player!
And as he vigorously developed the player magic group, although he was still the undisputed number one player magician, he also distanced himself from the real player powerhouses.
Therefore, compared to the inheritance mission that was triggered this time, what is actually more important is the special title that is uncertain whether it can be triggered.
And after some consideration, he did not go to Dongxuanzhou Prefecture immediately.
This naturally caused confusion among Jiang Tianxiong who was traveling with him.
"If you don't go to Dongxuanzhou Prefecture, where are you going?"
“Xixuan Prefecture is in the midst of a war. Although the Buddha Land and the Great Xuan Dynasty will not allow me to pick up corpses, the collision between these two behemoths will also destroy some small and medium-sized forces surviving in the cracks.
I thought, this is my chance.
As for Dongxuan, the atmosphere is too tense recently because of the preparations for the succession ceremony, and the secret raids are too strong. It is not wise to rush in now, and I don't want to cause trouble for others in advance."
"Trouble? Whose trouble?"
Niu Niu did not explain to Jiang Tianxiong. In fact, after the personal inheritance mission "The Mage's Spring", he had discovered from the notes a shortcut that could easily complete the task.
[Note: The real difficulty of this task lies in how to use some information that cannot be put on the surface! ]
【Note: Find out who is a friend and who is an enemy! 】
The mission requires Niu Niu to unify the underground world of Dongxuanzhou Prefecture and successfully establish a Ghost Market branch.
If this happened in the Dao domain, it would be like peeing at the doorstep.
How could those underground forces hidden in the darkness of Dongxuanzhou Prefecture be rootless? The major ones among them must be colluding with the elders of Daoshen Palace. And what does Niu Niu have? He is Jiang Tianxiong who has not yet broken through to the Dharma Realm.
Although he carefully analyzed the information about Lao Jiang after getting it, he confirmed that the guy next to him who looked kind and upright was actually a black-hearted scoundrel.
It can be said that the hexagon is a perfect aid.
But if they really force their way in and expand slowly like a small fish swallowing a shrimp until they are big enough to unify the underground world of Dongxuanzhou Prefecture, they may have to face attacks from the Dao Domain officials several times during this period.
The time required to complete this task must be based on years as the basic unit.
So his attack point was not from bottom to top, but from top to bottom, but before that he needed to confirm a rumor.
That is, among the four mysterious Wuyou secret guards who have been at the top of the forum's bounty list, is there Xue Wuxia who is about to become the Palace Master of Daoshen Palace!
The reason why we were able to lock onto the suspicion of the other party's identity was with the help of the three-star copy, Hidden Dragon Emerging from the Abyss. That is, the player, as a member of many forces, personally participated in the battle for the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
During the several conflicts that broke out, Xue Wuxia showed his determination to fight to the death with Gui Shi, which was far beyond what an ally could do.
And in another player's self-destructive line, he used the intelligence of various forces known in reality to patch up the cracks in the Ghost Killing Alliance in advance, and persuaded Xie Xiaofeng who had not made a decision to stand on the side in the early stage.
And through the emotional tribulation, Murong Qiudi lost his mind first, and directly dragged the entire Northern Barbarians to the side of destroying ghosts.
Later, in order to eliminate Feng Mo, the most capable general beside Qin Fan, they launched a brutal siege against him.
When Feng Mo died, he gained a lot of points, but then he also triggered a hidden task.
【Crazy Snow Flawless】
The points for completing this task are 10000 points!
You should know that you will only be given 6000 points if you completely interfere with the plot of the Hidden Dragon List.
Only 2000 points will be given for killing Fang Baoyu, who is ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon List.
To solve the problem, he directly summoned the Mo family's mechanical city, and a wave of nuclear bombs of justice came from the sky. Mo Kaixin only gave 3000 points.
So what is the concept of 10,000 points!
Before the player could figure out the specific situation, what came into view was a world of ice and snow.
The entire mountain of swords... No, the entire world was completely frozen!
The last thing the player saw was Xue Wuxia with white hair, bloodshot eyes, and crying towards the sky!
Very beautiful, very sad, and very scary!
Then the copy failed directly.
And because of this player's operation, the copy temporarily collapsed, forcing the next player who was about to enter the copy to wait for three days before they could re-enter the three-star copy.
At that time, many players asked about this in the forum.
However, that player did not reveal himself voluntarily, but he did reveal the matter in a subsequent conversation with the Chi Niu duo. In addition to telling this Taoist that he had great potential and that if he pushed too hard, the entire dungeon could be ruined.
He also suspected that there were many problems with Xue Wuxia's performance.
After all, the white hair and bloodshot eyes at the end really shocked the player greatly.
And this player is the original demon among the six demons who sell land.
A strategy-oriented boss who is very low-key in real life, silently acting as the host, but starts to let go when he gets to the dungeon, and has caused the dungeon to temporarily collapse more than once.
Then Niu Niu secretly remembered this matter.
But for now he needs to further confirm the authenticity of this speculation.
Only in this way can he trigger the activation of the title with confidence, and at the same time he has to wait until Xue Wuxia truly controls the Dao Realm, so that his plan can be considered complete.
But the difficulty lies in finding someone to confirm.
[Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] has high intelligence clearance in the Ghost Market, but Niu Niu knows that the other party cannot share the information obtained with him by using his own authority, otherwise it will break the rules of the Ghost Market.
No rules no standards.
The reason why the player group is not trusted is that all the trivial things are blown out on the forum.
Players who can really get a high status in various forces know how important it is to control their mouths.
Niu Niu can investigate the truth through some clues, including using the shared information given by the original demon, but he cannot use the power of [Sword Maniac and Sword Maniac] to accomplish this.
The next breakthrough point then is how to use one's own connections to confirm the authenticity of this matter.
First of all, we definitely cannot count on Xia Jinyu. The tasks given by the other party are inherently challenging in nature. How could an examiner directly help copy the answers?
Then there is only one person left, either a senior official or someone who knows the truth of the matter and can provide assistance to a certain extent.
"Uh..." Jiang Tianxiong was dazed as he was taken to the outside of a mansion with the words "Liu Mansion" written on it.
"Aren't we going to Xixuanzhou Prefecture?"
He was a little confused about Niu Niu's thinking.
"Let me confirm one thing first. I also need to let Master know that I am not doing my job idle. This is to prove that too many complicated and meaningless action arrangements are far less useful than a more appropriate time."
Jiang Tianxiong was silent.
After following Niu Niu and inexplicably taking on the task of unifying the underground world of Dongxuanzhou Prefecture, he became completely bound to the other party. Naturally, he hoped that the other party would do an excellent job in this matter and prove his ability during this period.
Otherwise, Jiang, whose past has been exposed, will have no choice but to die.
Jiang Tianxiong obviously had some preliminary ideas about the task, such as hiding the identities of the two first, choosing a target that is easy to control, then joining its faction, slowly intensifying the conflict, and finally reaping the rewards.
Or they could take advantage of the ambitions of the elders' descendants to make some careers and directly lure them to target the underground world, and the subsequent operations would be similar.
The central idea is a dog-eat-dog situation.
You must never reveal your identity and purpose in advance, and only act as the mastermind to seize everything at the last moment.
This is also Jiang Tianxiong's consistent code of conduct.
Before joining the villain alliance in Northeastern Prefecture, he had hoped that Gui Shi would defeat his group of people, and then he would clean up the mess and win over the hearts of the people, so as to squeeze out Murong Fu's position and regroup to consolidate his position and power.
But who could have thought that the ghost market would kill them with just a small move?
The several generals he recruited were treated like piglets, and they decisively abandoned themselves and went to their respective owners with a grunt.
Just collecting chickens and catching leeches!
And now he has not given up his ambition. Even though he was scared to death by Xia Jinyu before, he dare not have the idea of causing trouble in the Ghost Market in the short term. But even on the power stage provided by the Ghost Market, his determination to climb up will not change.
However, he knew very well that as an assistant, he must not try to be smart and offer advice before the person in charge asked questions.
He needs to figure out what kind of person Niu Niu is first, but at the moment, he can't quite understand his various actions.
In particular, he was very concerned about what the other party had mentioned before.
[Besides, I don’t want to cause trouble to others in advance. ]
Why is it that entering Dongxuanzhou Prefecture at this time would cause trouble, and who would I be causing trouble for?
Just when Jiang Tianxiong was puzzled, Niu Niu had already knocked on the door.
Shi Nu, who was guarding the Liu Mansion, invited the two of them in and informed Liu Lisha.
That’s right, Niu Niu is looking for his own master’s wife!
It is said that when Xia Jinyu and Liu Lisha were in an ambiguous period, Niu Niu inadvertently played an assisting role many times. Although he was not a formal disciple at the time, he had already made Liu Lisha have a good impression of him.
Later, when Liu Lisha was in charge of entertainment affairs, Niu Niu provided a lot of help by using his influence among the players.
So if we say that the most reliable backing of [Sword Maniac and Sword Crazy] in the Ghost Market is the Seven Stars of Suzaku, then on Niu Niu's side it is Xia Jinyu and Liu Lisha.
Therefore, when faced with some difficult problems, Niu Niu would directly seek help from the latter.
Just like what he is guessing at this moment.
"When you arrive at the Taoist Realm, you can show them this token representing the Huangquan Casino in Ghost Market, and then state your demands." Liu Lisha handed Niu Niu a token. Naturally, what she did was also approved in advance by Xia Jinyu.
The task of unifying the underground world of Dongxuanzhou Prefecture was originally issued by Xia Jinyu, including notes. If the other party can realize this, they can naturally take a shortcut. Otherwise, they will have to follow some stupid methods step by step.
"But you still have to wait until the succession ceremony is over before asking for an audience. It's not appropriate now." Liu Lisha reminded.
Niu Niu readily agreed and told them about his plan to go to Xixuanzhou Prefecture, including his thoughts on activating the title.
"Just need to collect the bodies of the dead?" Liu Lisha thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, don't go so far. There is no shortage of these in the ghost market. Besides, corpses are a kind of commodity. It's hard to get a corpse of a Dharma Realm, but it's easy to get a corpse of a Celestial Realm.
Shi Nu, take him to that place." (End of this chapter)
