Chapter 272 Acting Skills
Hey, this thing is pretty good.

Xiao Jie was quite surprised when he saw the extra BUFF on his head. It was true that hard work pays off. If you feed more dog food, you will always get some unexpected surprises.

However, it can't be said to be very powerful. After all, the money dropped by monsters is limited, usually only dozens or hundreds of coins. It's too much to think of getting rich by this.

It's a pity, it would be great if the effect of the BUFF was to increase the boss's equipment drops by 30%.

The people nearby were stunned. How could they play it like this?
Especially for Haomiejiu Jianxian and others, they always go somewhere to kill a few monsters when playing this game. This mysterious operation is still very new to them.

"Let's go, it's time for us to fight the BOSS - thank you for your help, old man. I am very grateful."

The old man Li smiled and said, "Haha, no problem. If you really want to thank me, then please send me more wine in the future."

"sure."

After leaving the dilapidated fishing village, everyone turned around and walked in the direction pointed by the koi. Even after walking a long way, Fondant Steamed Cake was still reluctant to leave and kept looking back.

"I think that old man just now might reveal something good. Why don't we go and kill him?"

Xiao Jie felt his scalp tingling and thought to himself, could he not be so cruel?

Because this game has a high degree of freedom, NPCs can be killed, and sometimes they will even drop some good stuff, but Xiao Jie almost never attacks NPCs.

Firstly, these NPCs have more or less hidden plots and tasks to explore, or special skills can be learned by maxing out their favorability. This is especially true for more powerful and mysterious NPCs.

Secondly, this game is so realistic, and the NPCs, due to their extremely high intelligence, give people the feeling of being real people, which also makes Xiao Jie feel some moral pressure when killing NPCs.

However, looking at the reactions of these guys at this time, he suddenly realized that this was probably the most common operation of game players.

Ordinary players are too weak to attack NPCs randomly. People like him who like to dig into the plot and look for tasks will not easily attack NPCs.

Every time he encountered this kind of NPC with a mysterious identity, the first thing he thought of was always what special plot he could dig out from this old man, and then find a way to increase his favorability to the maximum.

But if you are like the people in front of you, with good operation and high level, no psychological pressure, and no feeling of digging out hidden plots, then there are really no taboos.

Fortunately, there are not many such people, otherwise, all the NPCs in the wild in this game would probably be killed.

Although he felt that this matter had little to do with him, Xiao Jie still said: "I advise you not to do anything rash. That old man is obviously not an ordinary person."

"Tsk, it's only level 20, what's so great about it? Judging from its health, it's just at the level of an elite monster."

Xiao Jie sighed. He had no way to stop this since they were just allies after all. But he still tried to persuade them.

"Rank doesn't tell the whole story, maybe it's just a disguise.

Moreover, this kind of senior NPC can often dig out hidden tasks. If you max out their favorability, there might be unexpected surprises, which is much more profitable than just killing them and getting equipment. That's all I have to say. If you really want to kill me, I won't stop you, but please wait until our cooperation is over, so as to avoid any unexpected changes."

Xiao Jie was hesitant about the fondant cake, thinking, is it true? So mysterious?

As they were talking, several people had already arrived at the shore of the big lake.

The water of the Zhuoyu River makes a huge turn here, and a buffer lake is gradually formed under the impact of the river water. The water in this lake becomes very calm and the water is quite deep. It is obviously a special area where elite monsters and BOSSes will spawn.

Several people stood by the lake but did not rush to take action. Instead, they looked around.

I walked around the lake but didn't find anything special. It seemed that the monster was probably under the lake.

"By the way, who will go down to investigate this time?" Fantang Fagao asked hesitantly.

Haomie suddenly asked: "An Ran, can you turn into a fish?"

An Ran sighed, "No, we usually fight monsters on land to level up, how can I have the spare money to learn an unpopular skill like turning into a fish? In fact, I really want to learn one, so that I can go diving at the beach in the future. But, after all, money should be spent wisely, and I don't have the budget for it at the moment."

"I'll go down and investigate." I, who wanted to become an immortal, suddenly volunteered.

He has reasons to be so active.

If we were to say who performed the worst in battle during yesterday's event, it would probably be Ye Luo. She only killed a few small monsters from beginning to end, but she still got all the gold in the end. This was largely because she was responsible for the reconnaissance mission at the beginning and investigated the terrain of the mountain village clearly, which was considered a good performance.

Naturally, he has to perform well in today's work if he wants to become an immortal. He is quite aware of his own strength. If he doesn't perform actively in this kind of miscellaneous work, it will be easy for him not to get the full share of gold based on his fighting strength.

Haomie was surprised and asked, "You? Can you do it?"

Seeing that I was wearing heavy armor, the other people were a little skeptical. No matter how they looked at me, this guy didn't look like he could swim very well.

I want to become an immortal but I said confidently: "Hehe, just wait and see."

As he said this, he walked straight into the water, dived in, and disappeared in an instant.

Everyone was looking at the lake with some concern, but Xiao Jie was not worried. The Raging Sea Tide in my hand had a special effect - Dancing in the Tide. The speed of movement in the water did not decrease, which was equivalent to running in the water. The swimming was so fast that underwater reconnaissance was naturally a piece of cake for me.

Sure enough, after a while, I floated up from the water like an immortal.

"I've done the reconnaissance. Li Jinlin is right below. There are dozens of fish monsters gathered around the BOSS. I didn't dare get too close. There are probably about 20 to 30 monsters."

"What level are the monsters?"

"There are levels 15-20, and there is also a level 25 elite monster."

An Ran was surprised: "Level 25? That's strange. Li Jinlin is only level 22. How can a monster be higher level than the boss?"

Xiao Jie was not surprised, because Dong Lingzi in the Hundred Wolf Cave was of higher level than the wolf king Chi Meijian.

"This is not surprising. Li Jinlin has only been a monster for a short time. Maybe he is an old monster in the river and has become an elder. We are not afraid of him even if he is level 25. He is just an elite monster. With our strength, it is easy to deal with him."

Everyone agreed. Yesterday, they killed a level 26 boss + three elite monsters. So what was a level 22 boss + one elite monster today?

The only trouble is that no one is good at water battles. Although they can stay on the water surface for a short time with the help of lightness skills, once they stop moving they will fall into the water, which will make it difficult to fight.

Xiao Jie subconsciously began to conceive an action plan. He was used to being the captain, and even though he now had a strong supporter, he subconsciously thought in the capacity of a team leader.

What if we fight on the shore? I'm afraid Li Jinlin won't come ashore, and might even run away.

Will the situation then be that they are on the shore, while Li Jinlin leads the monsters in the water, shooting at them from a distance?
They still have some long-range attack capabilities, but what long-range skills do those fish spirits and fish monsters have? Spit water?
He couldn't help but think of the experience of fighting the mermaid. Maybe Li Jinlin could also use water arrows or something.

If that happens, if Li Jinlin can't win, he will probably dive into the water and won't be able to get out, and then there will be nothing that can be done.

While he was thinking about it, Haomie already had a plan.

Haomie said: "Well, I have already thought of a plan."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, damn, so fast?

"how to spell?"

"It's very simple. We can just start fighting on the lake. Several of us have craftsman skills and can make rafts. We can just build a few rafts and put them on the lake. Then we can fight standing on the rafts.

However, the durability of the simple raft is only 500 points, so we have to build a few more just in case. If the raft is destroyed, we can jump to other rafts. "

Xiao Jie thought that these people were quite versatile. "You all have craftsman skills?"

Fondant Cake said proudly: "Of course, high-end players must go for engineering."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, this person is obviously a former World of Warcraft player.

"What if Li Jinlin can't win and runs away into the river?"

Haomie said: "This is easy. Each of us prepares an ice talisman. When Li Jinlin is about to die and tries to run away, everyone throws the ice talisman together to freeze him directly on the lake surface. Then everyone just uses high speed to kill him."

Xiao Jie thought for a moment. This plan was not impossible, but he always felt that it was a bit too risky and required too high a level of operational skills.

If he fails to freeze the ice, Li Jinlin will use his ultimate move to shatter the ice, and then there will be no hope.

Fortunately, his thoughts became clearer at this time, "I do have a plan, maybe I don't need to take such risks."

Haomie said: "Oh, tell me about it."

Xiao Jie said: "It's very simple. Let's lure the enemy deep into our territory. Most of us will go directly to the inland woods to ambush. Two people will stay here to lure the monsters. The monsters in this game have very high IQs. If we all stay, the enemy may not dare to fight. If they hide in the water and don't come out, there will be no hope.

But if we only leave two low-level players behind and try to provoke them, Li Jinlin will definitely chase them ashore. By then, we will have ambushes ready, and the fish ashore will have nothing to fear."

Haomie thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but are you sure you can lure the enemy ashore?"

"If it doesn't work, it's not too late to try your tactics again."

Haomie thought about it and it made sense. If he could lure the BOSS to the shore to fight, then with his strength as a level 35 Martial Saint, he could kill it alone.

It would be nice to save a few Ice Talismans and some raft materials.

"Okay, then let's use your method first. So are you going to be responsible for attracting the monsters?"

Xiao Jie said: "That's right, since I proposed the plan, I will naturally be the one to do it. Cheng Xian will also stay."

"Ah, I stay?" I, Yu Chengxian, was surprised. His lightness skill was very average. It seemed that this kind of job of luring the enemy into deep was not something he should do.

"My Qinggong is not very good."

"I have to stay because you are slow. The IQ of the monsters in this game is so high. If they see that I am so skilled in Qinggong but don't run away directly, but keep luring them, they will probably see through this trick. But if you are next to them and see that you are running so slowly, they will definitely think they can catch up, so they can lure them successfully."

This statement is logically correct, but Drunken Swordsman and others are still a little speechless. Why would they need to use military tactics just to kill a monster?
Although they were somewhat impressed by the IQ of the monsters in this game, their feelings were not very great, probably because they had been fighting in teams from the beginning. As their operating skills were relatively high and they were good at playing the game and their mentality was relatively stable, they did not have any special pressure, so they took the route of crushing the monsters with strength from the beginning.

Every time he used the majority to fight the minority, or the superior to fight the inferior. When he encountered a powerful monster, he would just run away, and when he encountered a weak monster, he would just attack it head-on. In addition, with his superb operation and careful study of equipment and skills, he could be said to have crushed the whole way.

Fancy operations like Xiao Jie's are rarely seen.

Soon everyone was lying in ambush in the woods.

Xiao Jie said: "Everyone get ready, I'm going to kill the monster."

As he spoke, Xiao Jie and I came to the lakeside.

I Want to Become an Immortal said anxiously, "Brother Feng, how do we kill the monster? Do you want me to use the Wrath of Waves?"

"Don't bother, just watch me - by the way, change your weapon to a blank board first."

Xiao Jie said this while feeding the wild beasts and threw a secret dog food into the lake.

Then he took out a fishing rod and started fishing by the lake.

After a short while, a fish head gradually floated to the surface of the lake.

He took a look at the secret dog food, then looked at Xiao Jie who was fishing, and decisively did not take the bait.

"Hey, what a big fish!" Xiao Jie said as he put away his fishing rod and threw it towards the fish monster.

The fish spirit swam slightly to avoid the fishhook, and blinked at Xiao Jie on the shore.

"Hey, why doesn't the fish eat the bait? This is strange. Did I dig the nest wrong?" Xiao Jie continued to talk to himself.

I want to become an immortal but said, "I think the fish looks stupid, maybe it is a stupid fish."

The fish demon snorted angrily after hearing this, "Hehehe, boy, who do you say is the stupid fish?"

"Oh my God, this fish can actually talk!" Xiao Jie exclaimed.

I, Yuchengxian, also shouted: "Oh my, did I meet a god? Could it be a monster?"

"Hey, not only can I talk, I also have treasures. How about you go with me to the lake and I'll show you some good stuff?"

Xiao Jie was secretly happy in his heart, this little monster could actually fool people, the AI ​​of this game was really outrageous.

He looked around and saw several ripples in the lake slowly moving towards the shore, and he immediately understood.

He continued to play dumb and asked, "What treasure?"

"Big Pearl, how about it, do you want it?"

"How do you have such a big pearl? Are you kidding me?"

"We are all subordinates of the Dragon King. This is the pearl farm opened by the Dragon King. The lake is full of pearls. If you are willing to come down, I will give you a few. However, these pearls cannot be given away for free. You have to give me something too."

"Oh, then what do you want?"

"Hehe, of course it's your flesh and blood, the taste of human, I have been looking forward to it for a long time." The fish spirit said as he suddenly surfaced from the lake, only to see that attached to the fish head was a strange body that was half human and half fish, with a hunched back, fish fins on the back, a pair of strange long legs covered with fish scales on the lower body, and thin and long arms, with fish fins on the outside of the arms as well as a pair of sharp claws that looked as if they were formed by fish bones growing outside the body.

"Brother Feng, it really is a monster. Let's run! This thing is too scary."

"Hey, you want to run! Can you run? Look behind you."

When Xiao Jie turned around, he saw that several fish spirits had blocked the two men's retreat and surrounded them.

"Wuwuwuwu, it's over, Brother Feng. We're dead now." I cried like an immortal, my acting was somewhat deliberate.

Fortunately, these fish spirits didn't seem to have much experience in this area and didn't notice the problem at all.

"Just let us eat it, so you can suffer less!"

As he was speaking, several fish spirits surrounded him from all sides.

Xiao Jie shouted angrily, "Don't be afraid. We brothers have practiced swordsmanship hard, and today we can finally use them! Kill!"

The two men each held a weapon and rushed towards the fish monsters.
