Chapter 88: Desk Lamp God of War
Chapter 88: Desk Lamp God of War
Actually, this lamp is not that great. But Wang Ying has to show that this lamp is very good.
After all, it was he who chose to appraise this lamp, and he couldn't make a mistake.
Once a person has a public image and the burden of being an idol, it is difficult for him or her to truly be himself or herself.
Tong Ming said:
"Captain, that's great. What is the function of this light?"
Zheng Zai was also very curious.
Wang Ying said:
"I don't know the details, but I can see several perspectives now..."
Wang Ying said this and turned his back.
The light was dim, but enough to illuminate this small ward. Wang Ying said:
"I am turned away, but I can see what you see."
"Zheng Zai, you are staring at this light."
"Tong Ming, you are looking at the ceiling."
"Wen Xishu, what are you looking for? Why are you rummaging through the cabinets?"
Everyone understood. The light in Wang Ying's hand would share the images seen by anyone who was illuminated by it with Wang Ying.
Tong Ming clapped his hands and said:
"This is really a treasure. With this lamp, Captain, you can see what each of us sees, and then you will be able to observe more details."
Zheng Zai also nodded in agreement. But in his heart, he was thinking, this item...
Wang Ying will have the vision of five people. Can he handle it?
Is this thing good? In Zheng Zai's opinion, it should be good. But if he reads five books at the same time and looks at five different scenes... he will feel a bit headache.
I always feel that this thing is suitable for Brother Wen.
It's like you have five monitors, but your CPU doesn't change... then you may not be able to capture all the information on each monitor smoothly.
Wen Xishu did not applaud or flatter him, but was just looking for something in the bedside table.
Wang Ying asked:
"What are you looking for?"
Wen Xishu said:
"I wonder why there is such a lamp in this ward."
"Analyze the mission, and you will find that our tolerance for the rules has increased in this mission. However, the magic resistance requirement for interpreting the items has increased."
"So is it possible that we can find clues somewhere else?"
Wen Xishu feels that a mental hospital, combined with a museum, should have some elements of a mental hospital.
He found the elements of the museum, but what about the elements of the mental hospital?
What do the chains on the ground imply?
Wang Ying shook his head and said:
"Don't over-interpret it. This place is full of treasures. I think it's better not to identify items with too bizarre appearances."
"If we were to rummage through boxes like you, our process would be slowed down."
Wen Xishu was unmoved.
He had found a small piece of paper with a picture of a little girl, blindfolded, with her hands tied.
But there is no written description.
With the help of the desk lamp, what Wen Xishu saw became what Wang Ying saw. Wang Ying didn't think there was anything wrong with this painting.
Aspasia, on the other hand, felt that what Wen Xishu said made some sense, but she could see that Wang Ying didn't like Wen Xishu's style of doing things his own way.
This actually stems from the behavior of the members of the Gambling Stone Club, which is very similar to the combat style of the Luta team.
Almost everything has to be approved by the captain, who bears all the responsibility.
Wang Ying is a man who is willing to take responsibility, which is why Aspasia likes to work with him.
However, what Wang Ying enjoyed was the self-satisfaction of thinking, "I am the boss and I will take care of everything."
If someone performs better than him...that would be a bit troublesome.
"Let's go and stop wasting time here."
Wang Ying said.
Wen Xishu still stared at the note.
He was multitasking, thinking about how to interpret the contents of the note, and at the same time wondering why there was such a large TV wall at the end of the corridor?
Why is there a process of forcing items to demonstrate their functions?
The task prompt said that the great inventor had a premonition of the end of the world and invented some items in the hope that people would use them, and then the inventor died.
At the same time, the task prompt also said that identifying items was risky - but now there was no risk at all.
All the clues are in Wen Xishu's mind. He feels that there must be some secret hidden in the hospital, and there must be another link, which may be related to the items being identified.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Ying walked out of the ward door, he suddenly disappeared.
This scene stunned Tong Ming and frightened Zheng Zai as well.
It's not just Wang Ying, it's the same with Aspasia.
At this time, a sound came from outside. It came from the TV wall at the end of the corridor.
"Where... where have we been teleported to?!"
[You are already familiar enough with the items, so you step out of the ward and now enter the item usage stage. ]
Including Tong Ming Zheng and Wen Xishu, everyone received such a reminder.
Aspasia's somewhat annoyed voice came from the TV wall:
"What does the item usage stage mean? Captain, you are being a little hasty!"
Aspasia was obviously unhappy with this sudden teleportation.
She felt that there seemed to be a lot of dangerous auras around her, and these auras were approaching little by little. Wang Ying said angrily:
"Who could have guessed that! How would I have known that I would be teleported here?"
At this time, Wang Ying and Aspasia had arrived at a city ruin.
They hid in the shadow of a dilapidated building. They seemed to hear the sounds from the throats of some strange creatures.
[Current challenge, Lv1. ]
All the prompts seemed to appear in everyone's mind. Even Tong Ming, Zheng Zai and others who were not teleported could receive the information.
Tong Ming discovered that Wen Xishu put away the note, and his expression showed no surprise:
"Hey, have you guessed it long ago? In addition to the mandatory display function, there is also a mandatory use function for items?"
Wen Xishu looked at Tong Ming:
"You are very smart."
Tong Ming is very happy:
"Watch TV, watch TV. I'm in the mental hospital in the bunker, and my favorite thing is to watch TV."
Zheng Zai said:
"What's going on...If we walk out of the ward, we will also..."
Before he could finish his words, Tong Ming had already walked out of the ward.
But Tong Ming was not teleported away.
Tong Ming said:
"Only those who choose to identify will be teleported away. We have no choice. Hehe, this is so much fun. It would be nice if the captain could bleed a little."
Zheng Zai was a little afraid of Tong Ming.
Wen Xishu didn't feel anything, and he also came to the outside of the ward.
Zheng Zai said:
"Brother Wen, if...if you come across an item you want to identify later, can you bring me along? Don't worry, I won't fight with you for the ownership of the item, but...but I can protect you."
Zheng Zai had good intentions, but the thought of identifying items and being teleported to the world on TV made Zheng Zai a little scared.
He was worried that Brother Wen had a good brain but was not good at fighting. Zheng Zai also vaguely guessed that Wang Ying and the woman would face a fierce battle next.
Wen Xishu nodded:
"We are now at Lv1, the easiest level. I estimate that the second item we identify will take us to the Lv2 survival level."
"By analogy, the more items you identify, the later the level number you go to, and the more difficult the level will be."
Tong Ming smiled and said:
"So, the captain's choice to identify the lamp was... stupid, right? In other words, we have to consider whether this item can kill the enemy on the battlefield without knowing any information."
"Hehe, here they come. Here they come."
Tong Ming was very excited.
Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai also looked at the big TV screen at the end of the corridor.
The screen suddenly switched to a distant angle, a bird's-eye view like a drone shot. From this perspective, Aspasia and Wang Ying looked like two tiny ants.
And around them... a dense colony of ants appeared, approaching Wang Ying and Aspasia!
"Could this be the scene in the Slaughter Tower? So interesting!" Tong Ming couldn't help clapping his hands.
Wen Xishu watched TV silently.
……
……
Unknown city, unknown area. Judging from the buildings in the distance, the CBD area of this city was quite prosperous, but now it is in ruins.
But beneath the ruins lie countless crises.
"It's normal species! Damn it, we are clearly in the Weird Tower, how come we meet so many normal species from the Slaughter Tower!" Aspasia almost shouted out.
Wang Ying's face looked very ugly.
[Please use the items you identified as weapons to protect the hospital and kill 100 enemies. You have two chances to ask for help outside the field.]
Wang Ying didn't have time to argue with Aspasia now. He found that the only weapon he could use was the desk lamp in his hand.
He turned on the desk lamp, which had no other function except to share the view with Aspasia.
The monsters around are getting closer.
The worst thing is that he once played in the Slaughter Tower, but in the Strange Tower, his panel attributes were simulated as level one attributes.
In other words, the current kill value cap is 100 and the level is 1.
There was no Slaughter Tower panel bonus, no Slaughter Tower sequence blessing! The only thing to be thankful for was the normal species around... all of them were the weakest first-level normal species.
"Now let's stand back to back. Let's find a favorable position. There are some sharp stones on the ground. Remember, hit your temples. Just like the old captain taught us!"
Wang Ying quickly calmed down.
Aspasia also knew that she had to listen to Wang Ying now. The two quickly got into battle stances, using the gravel and steel bars around them as makeshift weapons.
The first-level normal species are ordinary people. They are like zombies, but not the kind of zombies with amazing explosive power. They are more like the kind of zombies that have been starved to the point that their flesh and blood have disappeared and their movements are slow.
It's easy to deal with, but if there are too many of them, ordinary people can't stand it. And in the real battlefield of the Slaughter Tower, there won't be such neat and orderly normal species of the lowest level. There are often many normal species of other stages mixed in, even rare species, elite species.
Wang Ying and Aspasia are in a dangerous situation. The mission requires them to kill one hundred normal species, but there are more than one hundred around... and there are also some powerful mid-level and high-level normal species in the distance.
Wang Ying and Aspasia quickly chose a high ground, intending to attack from a high position, taking advantage of the slowness of the normal state, killing and consuming the enemy bit by bit.
The two's mental qualities that enabled them to quickly get into the state, as well as the strategies they chose, made Wen Xishu realize that these two had indeed been in the Slaughter Tower.
And received relatively professional training.
When the normal species approached, Wang Ying accurately pierced the normal species' temple with steel bars several times. The scene was extremely bloody.
When the steel bar was pulled out, blood gushed out. Next to it, Aspasia's beautiful face was also covered with blood.
The fight between the two was effective. Wang Ying's ferocity caused the dozen or so normal people approaching in front to fall to the ground quickly.
Aspasia was not simple either. Her explosive power was not as good as Wang Ying's, but she was agile and flexible. She made some incredible moves and killed four normal species at extremely tricky angles.
"Wow, that's awesome! But... hey, how long will it take them to notice? Hahahahaha, this is so funny, right?"
Tong Ming is a typical person who enjoys other people's misfortunes.
Wen Xishu didn't like Tong Ming, but he didn't hate him that much either - after all, he was just watching a show, and he also wanted to know how long it took for these two to discover one thing:
Their monster killing progress has not changed.
Wang Ying and Aspasia were very devoted to killing the enemies. The more professional they were, the more they knew that they could not be distracted.
So the number was clearly in the lower right corner of their field of vision, and clearly the number had not changed... but the two of them forgot about it for a moment.
Monster killing progress: 0/100.
In other words, although they have worked hard to kill more than twenty normal species so far, these have not been counted in the mission.
Zheng Zai was a little worried and wanted to remind them, but he and Wang Ying and others were not on the same "channel" at all.
Three more normal species approached. At this time, Wang Ying, holding steel bars in both hands, turned 360 degrees very swiftly and pierced the temples of the normal species three times in almost one second.
Zheng Zai was so impressed by this explosive power that Tong Ming gave him a thumbs up.
Wang Ying himself also felt that in this dangerous environment, he had unleashed his potential and made several handsome and efficient kills.
Only at this time did he remember to check the number of kills so that he could show off in front of Aspasia and let this woman know his strength.
Wang Ying thought so, but the smile on his face disappeared the moment he saw the number.
"How...how is this possible? What's going on? Why is this happening? Why!?"
The cry of the King Eagle gave Aspasia a bad feeling:
"what happens!"
Aspasia's breathing was becoming irregular.
Wang Ying said:
"Look at the number of kills required for the mission..."
Aspasia frowned at first, then was startled and showed fear:
"Why...we have clearly already..."
Wang Ying didn't know that at this time, many normal species appeared around him. He picked up the steel bar and wanted to fight, but his movements were too slow.
It’s not because I’m tired, but because I’m hesitant inside and worried that everything I’ve done is in vain.
"Help! Can't we ask for help off the field?" Aspasia shouted.
Her voice was a little hoarse. Although her ability was far superior to that of a normal person, she couldn't withstand such a consumption. Wang Ying didn't want to ask for help, but this was the only thing he could do at this moment.
At this time, the three people watching TV all heard Wang Ying's voice:
"Help... Help me! What should I do now? Do you know what happened? As and I——"
Before Wang could finish his words, he had to stop talking, kicked away the normal species that was approaching, and then said:
"Aspasia and I were teleported to a strange place! Help me! We have to kill a hundred monsters, but even after killing dozens, the number of monsters hasn't changed!"
You only have one minute to ask for help.
Tong Ming said: "Captain... Captain, come on, come on! Come on! It's so scary, Captain, but as long as you are the captain, you will definitely survive!"
Tong Ming's tone was full of cowardice and fear.
Zheng Zai suddenly felt a little disgusted with this young man. This young man looked the same age as Brother Wen, but he did not have the chivalrous heart that Brother Wen had.
Wang Ying wanted to curse. He didn't ask for help just to hear encouragement!
Wen Xishu said calmly:
"Use a desk lamp. Captain, try using a desk lamp. Throw away the steel bar in your hand and use the desk lamp to fight the monster."
"Okay! Wen Xishu, thank you!"
At this moment, Wang Ying sincerely thanked Wen Xishu. The same was true for Aspasia.
The time for help is over.
Tong Ming regained the smile on his face:
"Why? Don't you hate them too? I can see that you really hate them. Why are you saving them?"
Even though the lamp is not a powerful weapon, Wang Ying and Aspasia can still deal with a hundred first-level normal species who have no battle plan.
Wen Xishu's suggestion seemed to Tong Ming to be very correct. So Tong Ming was somewhat puzzled:
"That Wang Ying is not as capable as you, but he is jealous of you and thinks he is the captain, so he doesn't like your correct suggestions."
"So you are the type who repays evil with kindness..."
Wen Xishu said:
"Yes, the captain has also helped us verify the game's mechanics. He has done us a favor. What he thinks of me is his business, but I can't just stand by and watch him die."
Tong Ming found it boring.
Of course, what Wen Xishu said was not true.
Wen Xishu thought, there are still eleven rounds like this, and two people died in the first round, which is too fast. Teammates are consumables, but they cannot be consumed too quickly.
Zheng Zaize was thinking: Brother Wen is so nice! How could I be so lucky to have such a good teammate like him?
……
On the other side, Wang Ying on the battlefield, holding a desk lamp in both hands, hit the normal species on the neck.
"Aspasia, stop hitting their temples. Try to cripple their knees. We don't want to make any ineffective kills!"
After Wang Ying regained his sanity, he made several correct decisions.
If you kill the opponent with something other than a desk lamp, it means you have wasted your energy, but if you fail to kill him and then use the desk lamp to finish him off, it will count as a kill.
This lamp is also amazing, it is not damaged at all. Although it does not have strong destructive power, it is also difficult to be destroyed.
All Wang Ying has to do is make sure he can smash the normal species' head with the desk lamp.
This process is somewhat lengthy.
Tong Ming said:
"Should we continue exploring? Just watch?"
Wen Xishu said:
"You can go, I have to wait for the captain."
When Tong Ming saw that Xi Shu didn't move, he didn't move either.
Time passes minute by minute...
When the number of kills reached 99, Aspasia was already lying on the ground exhausted, her eyes a little dazed, as if she had just finished filming a two-hour Japanese movie without a cut.
And Wang Ying is the man who has not a drop of juice left.
Now, another group of monsters slowly poured in, including a mid-level normal species. Its limbs already had bone spurs and other things, and its speed was much faster than other normal species, like a sprinter running explosively.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ying's weak hands immediately picked up the lamp and shouted:
"Fuck you! Fuck you!"
Wang Ying was not angry at the intermediate-level normal species that was about to charge over, but wanted to kill an ordinary primary-level normal species immediately and complete the task quickly.
He did it, bursting out all his strength and smashing the head of a normal creature with a desk lamp.
The desk lamp fell to the ground with a clang. He was indeed out of strength.
If he hadn't wasted a lot of energy before, he could actually continue fighting, but now, he really has no strength left.
Wang Ying collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.
Fortunately, at this moment, all the monsters stopped.
Number of kills: 100/100.
[You have successfully demonstrated the value of this item after the end of the world. You will return to the museum soon. I hope you can show more items to people. When you return this round, your physical strength will be restored to 50% of the maximum value.]
Wang Ying and Aspasia finally returned to the museum.
After their strength was restored, Wang Ying and Aspasia were no longer as embarrassed as they were on the battlefield. The blood on their bodies was also cleaned up in an instant.
"The captain is so amazing... He is simply a god of war. I have never seen such a brave man. I think I will remember the captain as the god of war for the rest of my life."
Tong Ming had a look of admiration on his face.
His performance was so vivid, the awe-inspiring feeling was natural and on point, not at all exaggerated.
So for a moment, Wang Ying was not sure whether the Desk Lamp God was praising him or teasing him.
Wen Xishu said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Captain. Now..."
Wen Xishu deliberately did not continue speaking, but glanced at Wang Ying. Wang Ying was still grateful to Wen Xishu:
"Tell me, what's going on now?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"We have basically completed a standard round, and we still have at least eleven rounds left. A round includes the identification part, the display part, and the use part."
"And the game states that only when you kill an enemy with an identified item will it count. So, we still have to choose carefully and consider the function of the item itself."
"Will this function help us...kill the enemy?"
Wang Ying nodded:
"Okay, I got it. I've recovered a lot of my strength. Shall we start exploring the second ward?"
Aspasia said at this time:
"Are we still going to keep going to the same ward? Or should we go our separate ways?"
Tong Ming agrees:
"I think so too...if we see something that's perfect for combat, like a weapon...if everyone wants it, it'll be discordant, right?"
In the current situation, it is obvious that things that originally have combat attributes will be the most popular.
For example, a knife. Even if the special ability of this knife is very poor, as a knife, it is more suitable for killing enemies than a desk lamp.
Once we have a direction, everyone will think about finding suitable items for identification based on their own abilities, and work together to search one room at a time...
Good things cannot be enjoyed alone.
Wen Xishu found that people are indeed selfish. But he did not reject this situation. In fact, he thought it was better now, because he did not have to pay for their suicide.
