Chapter 97: Monster Attacks the Village
After listening to Huang Shidao's story, Yang Baichuan was shocked. "What should we do, Village Chief? Isn't our Ginkgo Village in danger?"

Huang Shidao (Chief of Ginkgo Village): "Don't panic. For now, I have three strategies that may help me out. However, I still need the help of two brave men. Please listen carefully and help me think about how to deal with this crisis.

The best strategy is for the two to gather warriors, charge into the ancient tomb, and kill the ghost general before he is fully resurrected.

The middle strategy is, you two gather the warriors, and I will also gather the villagers, and we will defend Ginkgo Village with the strength of the entire village.

As a last resort, the two warriors quickly went to Baiyun Temple in Bixia Mountain to seek out an expert to rescue Ginkgo Village.

You two, what do you think we should choose?"

[System prompt: The plot event [Ghost General's Threat] has been triggered. The ghost general corpse owl is about to be resurrected by the mysterious black-robed man. Ginkgo Village has encountered an unprecedented crisis. As the discoverer of this incident, Village Chief Huang asks for your opinions. Your choice will determine what will happen here next and whether Ginkgo Village can survive this catastrophe - Returnees, please make your choice carefully.]

A dialog box popped up in front of both of them at the same time.

Option 1: We are willing to take on this important task, enter the ancient tomb, and destroy the ghost general. (Trigger the mission - Demon Slayer Warrior.)
Option 2: We are willing to take on this important task, but we are outnumbered. We ask Village Chief Huang to dispatch more people to work with us, so that we can have a chance of winning. (Persuasion judgment). (Triggering the task - Common hatred against the enemy.)
Option 3: The ancient tomb is full of dangers and difficulties. It is better to strengthen our vigilance and wait and see what happens. With the elite troops of Ginkgo Village and the bravery of the returnees, we can take advantage of the situation and win a complete victory.

(Start the plot event: Monsters attack the village. This event will start at 3 noon 12 days later.)
(Trigger the mission - United We Stand.)
Option 4: It is hard for us mortals to resist such a powerful enemy. Why don't we go to Baiyun Temple to seek help from a master? (Trigger the task - Seek a master.)
Option 5: I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to do. Mr. Village Chief, I'll take my leave now.

Looking at the dialog box in front of him, Xiao Jie immediately realized that the plot events this time were definitely extraordinary. So many options and so many different mission routes might very well determine the life or death of Ginkgo Village. The risks and potential benefits involved were unprecedented.

Naturally, you can see that I want to become an immortal.

"Brother Feng, which one do you choose?"

"Don't rush to choose, let me think about it."

Fortunately, there was no time requirement for this option, and Huang Shidao and Yang Baichuan waited patiently for his reply.

First of all, the first one must be ruled out. Letting a few novices go down to the ancient tomb would be simply courting death. Not to mention the ghost general who might have been resurrected and the mysterious man in black robe whose strength is unknown, even those corpse drivers and the terrifying number of zombies are not something that two people can handle. Even with Ye Luo, they have no chance of winning.

The second option does have some chance of success, as there are still some capable fighters in Ginkgo Village, such as Yang Baichuan, Tie Qianli, Zhou Tong... But it still feels too dangerous, and it's still the same problem, it's too difficult to escape.

In comparison, the third option is much better. If you want to defend the village, you can rely on Ginkgo Village's defense system, as well as the militia and villagers to help. Although the enemy will be stronger, you can still run away if you really can't defeat them.

Option 4 is the safest, but the reward doesn't seem to be that high.

Overall, Xiao Jie is more inclined to the third option, playing a defensive battle.

But Xiao Jie did not make a rash choice. The game had been open for three years, so similar incidents should have happened before, right? It would be better to ask Wang Kai.

Just sent a private message.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Wang Kai, has there ever been an incident of monsters attacking Ginkgo Village before?
Wang Kai: It has happened twice. One time, a tide of beasts attacked the village, led by a wolf demon. Another time, bandits attacked the village, led by a mountain king.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Did you succeed in defending it?
Wang Kai: We have to defend it, otherwise there will be no Ginkgo Village.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: What about the specific process? Can you tell me about it?
Wang Kai: I don’t know. I wasn’t online either. When the monsters attacked the village, I went offline directly. I didn’t dare to go online until they notified me on WeChat after the battle.

Xiao Jie thought to himself, damn, this guy is really a coward.

Wang Kai: But as far as I know, those two monster attacks on the village were both very brutal, with deaths every time, but of course there were also a lot of gains. There will be at least one leader-level BOSS participating in the monster attack on the village, and this thing will definitely drop purple equipment, and NPCs will not pick up equipment. As long as the player's participation in the BOSS battle reaches the pickup standard, he can collect all the drops.

Those two monster attacks on the village fattened up a lot of people.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: What does a leader-level BOSS mean? Are BOSSes in this game divided into different levels?
Wang Kai: To put it simply, it is equivalent to the boss of a monster force. There will be a skull mark on the monster's avatar, and after appearing in the current area, the BOSS's health bar will be displayed on everyone's screen. This is a real big BOSS. If it does not have these two characteristics, it can only be regarded as a small boss, an elite monster, or a mini BOSS.

Big Boss?

Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel a little excited. To be honest, up to now, they didn't seem to have really fought a decent BOSS. Whether it was Tian Youcai or the big rat in the barn, they were just elite monsters.

If you can get the drops from this BOSS, then you will really take off.

Of course, if you enter the ancient tomb and kill the BOSS, you can also get such drops, but this kind of adventure has no way out, so it is safer to fight a defensive battle in the village.

With the weak strength of him and I, Yu Chengxian, it would be almost impossible for us to get involved in a BOSS of this level under normal circumstances. Now that such a good opportunity is in front of us, we must not let it go.

Okay, it's you.

Xiao Jie decisively chose 3.
"At such a critical moment, we can only strengthen our vigilance and wait and see what happens. With the elite troops of Ginkgo Village and the bravery of us returnees, we can achieve complete victory. Although we are not talented, we are willing to do our part for Ginkgo Village."

When I saw Xiao Jie make his choice, I immediately said, "Yes, yes, I do the same!"

Huang Shidao nodded slightly, "In this case, the safety of Ginkgo Village depends on you two warriors. If there are other returnees who are willing to join the battle, they can also join us. As long as you help Ginkgo Village survive this disaster, our Ginkgo Village will never forget your heroic deeds and will reward you handsomely afterwards.

The ghost may attack at any time, so please be prepared within three days.

Yang Baichuan, go inform Tie Qianli to come see me, and gather all the villagers and militia, and make sure they are ready within three days."

【System prompt: Triggering plot event - Monsters attacking the village. This event will start at 3 noon 12 days later. At that time, all players within the range of Ginkgo Village will be judged as Ginkgo Village Guardians.

The following are the rules for monsters attacking the village.

Rule 1: The monster attack on the village will start at 12 noon and end at 6 pm. During this period, as long as the village ancestral hall is not breached, the defense is considered a success.

Rule 2: Killing the leader of the monster attacking the village can win the victory in advance and gain a lot of loot and reputation points.

Rule 3: Killing monsters attacking the village will earn you a small amount of reputation points, which will be settled uniformly after the battle.

Rule 4: All villagers and militia will join the battle, and players can cooperate with them in the battle

Rule 5: If you flee Ginkgo Village during a monster attack, you will be considered a deserter and your reputation in the current state capital will drop by 1000 points. 】The matter was settled, and Xiao Jie calmed down.

There are still three days left, and the preparations in these three days are the key to victory.

Of course, there is also 'Assemble the Warriors', which is not easy to do with just two people.

Xiao Jie sent a message directly to Ye Luo.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: A major event is about to happen, let’s come to the ancestral hall for a meeting.

After thinking about it, he also sent a message to Dongfang Sheng and Wang Kai. Monsters attacking the village is such a big thing that no one can escape it, and they must unite every force that can be united.

Soon all five people gathered in the ancestral hall.

Ye Luo: "What happened?"

Wang Kai: "Brother, why are you calling us here so urgently?"

Dongfang Sheng: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Jie directly shared the task among the three of them.

"Monsters are attacking the village! Are you interested in joining the battle?"

"Damn it!" Wang Kai was shocked. "I was surprised when you asked me just now. You guys are really capable of making such a plot as monsters attacking the village. Sorry, I won't get involved. I will log off and wait for your news."

Well, this result is not unexpected.

Xiao Jie did not persuade him, "I understand. I came to you mainly to ask you how much gold you have left. I want to buy some gold."

This war must be fully prepared and requires a huge amount of supplies. The few thousand coins in my hand are not enough, so I have to sell gold this time.

Wang Kai spread his hands and said, "I only have a few hundred coins left, all of which I earned yesterday. But if you want to buy more, I can help you contact the gold farmers in the state capital."

“How do you get it here?”

"This game has a mailing system. The farther the distance, the higher the postage. If it's delivered within the state, it will cost more than a thousand coins."

“Can I buy supplies directly from the state capital?”

"no problem."

"Then give me 500,000 gold, and then purchase supplies from the state capital according to my requirements and send them directly to me.

Ye Luo, I remember you said that a rich man once bought a talisman worth 10 million and used it to upgrade. In other words, there is no demand for the talisman, right?"

This kind of city defense battle will inevitably involve facing a large number of low-level monsters, and you must have enough means to clear them out.

Ye Luo hummed, "There is no demand for low-level spells, but there is no demand for high-level spells."

"Then is there any low-level spell that can kill people in a wide area?"

"Yes, but if you want to defend the city, I suggest you don't buy talismans. They are too expensive. Five hundred thousand copper coins can only be exchanged for 50,000 coins, which can't buy many talismans. It's better to buy a flame pot and a kerosene pot. Both of them are by-products of alchemy and are much cheaper.

The gunpowder pot can produce an explosion effect of 3 meters by 3 meters, and the kerosene pot can ignite a small area for 10 seconds, which is enough for a city defense battle. "

"how much is it?"

"A gunpowder kettle costs only 500 coins each, and a kerosene kettle costs only 300 coins each."

Xiao Jie thought, this is cheap? 500 is enough to buy a piece of leather armor, which is a consumable item.

However, he knew that this was not the time to save money. Good steel should be used on the blade. He had not spent any money and was waiting for such a critical moment.

"Okay, then we'll mainly buy these two types. Please give me a quote for any other spells and elixirs that you can buy."

After that, he looked at the other three people and asked, "Do you want to buy some too?" If we can win this battle to defend the village, we can all take off. The gains are definitely not measurable by money. When monsters attack the village, there must be a leader-level BOSS, and the drops are amazing.

And with NPCs helping us to resist damage, we can harvest safely. This is the best chance at the moment.

It may not be easy to encounter such a good thing in the future, it is definitely worth a try. "

I immediately cooperated and said, "Brother Feng is right. I will also give you 500,000 gold!"

Ye Luo said helplessly, "Okay, then I'll also give 500,000."

Things have come to this point, and there is no choice but to form a team.

"I'll give you one million." Dongfang Sheng suddenly said. He had bought 200,000 gold from Wang Kai before, and now he was going all in at once.

Xiao Jie couldn't help but admire this guy, who didn't hesitate at all when it came to going all in.

Wang Kai became excited when he heard this.

"Okay, okay, I'll contact Jinnong for you right away! I'll get you whatever you want to buy."

The huge investment of 2.5 million by four people is the largest order he has received recently. Even if he takes a commission, he can still make a lot of money.
