There were a lot of people in the Autumn Garden.
After all, Lewanska has assembled such a large team that it will be difficult to not stand out. No matter what the purpose is, there will always be people coming to see what's going on.
Lu Ning saw the brother and sister Li Bei Yangmu and Li Bei Fengdai, and also saw the woman he met at the Summer Garden supply point before, and there were many other people. Just from their faces, one could infer something about their previous lives. Lewanska, Fu Junnian and several team members stood in the middle, but their attention was not focused on these people.
"That's great, Lu, you guys..." Lewanska caught sight of Lu Ning walking over and immediately stepped forward to greet her. However, her words were interrupted when she noticed the number of people in the team.
"We met a leader." Lu Ning took over the words, "And our strength is not enough to deal with him."
"If that's the case, losing only one person is at least acceptable. I feel sad for Gorius, but fortunately you are okay." Lewanska looked at the remaining people, "Shan Nianmei and the others have already We’re in the house, let’s go in.”
"Then these people..." Lu Ning glanced around quietly and lowered her voice.
"I will be responsible for my team, which does not mean that I will be responsible for everyone who comes, even if we lose some members." Lewanska said a little coldly, "I am willing to be a companion when we have nothing. Those who are at least trustworthy, while those who have heard of it may betray it at any time.”
"I thought you were a trusting person."
"Then you may have misunderstood me a little." Lewanska glanced behind her, "Let's go in and talk."
The people standing in the courtyard naturally understood their attitude, but they were still unwilling to leave. Lu Ning observed carefully and found that there were subtle differences in the emotions of these people.
There were a total of seventeen people in the yard, eight of them really had a sense of fear for the rest of their lives, and the other few were a little unclear. With Lu Ning's current ability to judge emotions, she could only go so far. She restrained her eyes and expression, and followed Lewanska into the room.
Three teams, if what Lewanska said is correct, there are four people missing here, including Gorius, there are five.
"One-quarter reduction." Shan frowned and leaned on the sofa. After seeing Lu Ning and others, he finally sighed, "Lewanska, if we reduce the number of people at this speed, then the composition of this team will not be good." It doesn’t make any sense.”
"Really? I believe you must have gained something." Lewanska walked to the front of the mission machine and raised her hand to scan it. A countdown of the cooling time immediately appeared on the machine.
"You know?" Shan frowned and asked.
"Don't make that expression. I believe that after we split up, every team came to see this machine." Lewanska said with a smile, "Lu, Fu Junnian, where are you two?"
"Ha...because I care about it. After all, it's a four-star mission." Fu Junnian bared his teeth, "It's a shame I'm still hiding it."
"It's okay to give everyone a little secret space. I won't ask who took it. After all, it was before our team was established." Lewanska turned around and took out a folded cube from her pocket. , poked it, and the square unfolded, forming a hollow polyhedron with many edges and corners.
"There are no outsiders here, so I'll just announce the news I got."
Lewanska smiled.
"The value of the leader of this crisis is one star, which is not high. But we can obtain the weapon used by the leader. The name of this weapon is 'Cage', which has a powerful confinement effect. The weapon has certain special functions. I have tested the energy limit and it consumes a lot of energy and cannot support it for a long time, but it should be enough for the speed of the crisis."
"You killed a leader?" Shan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Not bad, because we have two second-level props, so with a little effort and the sacrifice of three people, we successfully killed the leader."
"Two second-level props." Lu Ning repeated this sentence, "That is to say, not only you have completed the task."
"That's not thanks to me."
A person behind Lewanska suddenly spoke proudly. Lu Ning remembered that his name was Dacolon, and he was the one who secretly scanned the mission behind everyone's back. However, she did not expect that he was the third person besides Lewanska. Two people who obtained second-level items.
"Indeed, Dacoran helped us a lot by getting three stars in time this time..."
"I just say that this is the right thing to do! Concentrate the tasks in the hands of capable people first. The stronger we are, the easier it will be to survive those crises, and no one can stop us from continuing to score points. Compared with a tiger A few dogs are much stronger, there is no doubt about it!”
Dacolon said plausibly.
"We still made sacrifices." Shan frowned and glanced at him unhappily.
"That's because our core is not strong enough. I'm not trying to snatch resources, it's just a matter of priority distribution. Without force, where will the right to speak come from? What if this time we don't have two second-level props, but four? Do you think it will still be that difficult?”
This is a difficult question to answer.
Even Lu Ning had to admit that part of Dacoran's views were correct. She could already see the third-level props, and she also knew that the combat power provided by the third-level props was another leap forward.
[Monster Box: These childhood nightmares will now be temporarily at your disposal.
Moving Barrier: Within the territory you claim, only what you wish is allowed in.
Invisibility Cloak: This will be the perfect hide and seek item to help you survive until the end! 】
"But you can't guarantee that we'll be together as a team all the time."
Lewanska retorted to Dacolon, then took over again before he could speak again.
"My initial goal is to hope that everyone has the ability to escape even when they are alone. This approach cannot achieve this goal. Dacoran, you put too much emphasis on the strength of a single person, but you never thought about this. What will happen when the power cannot be supported in time? If you hadn't been in crisis with us this time, you wouldn't have revealed the secret of being able to purchase second-level items, right?"
"snort."
Dacoran shut his mouth and found a place to sit down again.
"Then the second news is about the difficulty of weather unlocking. The weather unlocking of the Autumn Garden will increase the humidity in the entire garden and block breathing. If you stay in this environment for more than ten minutes, a reaction similar to drowning will occur. Fifteen minutes You will go into shock."
"So serious?" Maoyou was startled, "Then this weather unlocking is simply asking for death! And you want to unlock the entire garden? Is that still possible?"
"There are diving suits in the Summer Garden, and there should be matching breathing equipment." Lu Ning was very calm about this. It was expected that the weather unlock would bring harsh conditions, and it would not cause any trouble to her.
"That would be great. If most of the water vapor can be filtered out, this difficulty can still be overcome."
"You were really locked in that place for ten minutes. It wouldn't have been so troublesome if we had known about it in advance." Lu Ning shook her head, "At least now we can make some preparations."
"Speaking of this, I have something else to inform you. After the crisis was over, we took another look at the location of the weather unlock switch, but the switch and the prompt text were gone."
"Normal, that means the used switch will change its position after the crisis is over." Lu Ning followed.
"Why is it used..." Maoyou whispered.
"Because the person we placed in the Spring Garden before triggered it, the position of the switch should not have changed. Or do you think that in that courtyard, when the crisis was going on, someone would unlock the weather to forcibly increase the difficulty for themselves?"
Lewanska nodded, agreeing with Lu Ning's judgment, and then turned to Shan and frowned: "You have lost someone."
"I met two servants and were attacked by a sneak attack." Shan frowned and pulled out a dark dagger from his waist. "The spoils are here. We didn't encounter the leader here, so we have nothing to report."
"Tell me about your itinerary and what level the props have reached."
"Hmm... Okay." Shan frowned and shrugged, "After we left, we headed to the outer corridor of the Summer Garden. After all, the terrain there was not particularly complicated, and Lu had never scouted there. We met two groups of people, We exchanged some information, but all the mission machines we found were collected. Then when the crisis came, we got familiar with a corridor before the sun set, but we didn't expect that those monsters were randomly teleported into the building, or were attacked by surprise. .We killed two and seized the weapons, but they were all servants and did not meet the leader."
It sounds normal, but Lu Ning always felt that she was hiding some information.
"As for the situation of the stars, both Yunxiu and I can already see the second-level props. She changed to a backpack, and I will save mine for the time being and try to directly go to the third level."
Shan frowned and said all this in one breath.
After hearing this, Lewanska glanced at Shi Ming, and Shi Ming responded with a faint smile. Lu Ning saw this small eye contact, and it was exactly what she was suspicious of.
If the four-star mission was taken by someone in Lewanska's team, then the most questionable ones are Shan Lianmei, Shi Ming and Duan Yunxiu. After all, they were the only ones who were originally entrusted by Lewanska. The group that went looking for weapons meant they came here very early.
This machine has entered cooling, which means the mission has succeeded or failed. Lu Ning's own four-star mission has indeed failed. It is too difficult to unlock the weather of the entire garden. However, the "Kill the Leader" that Mao You received previously There is still a chance to complete this task.
If any of them had completed the four-star mission, they would probably be able to see third-level items now. Shan frowned and ignored Shi Ming, but Lu Ning couldn't.
"You are still very lucky." Lewanska curled her lips, "But are you sure you want to keep it? When the next crisis comes, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."
"Then let's do more missions now. After so long, everything that should be refreshed has been refreshed. At least... one-star and two-star missions can be received again."
"That's right." Lewanska nodded. "Many mission machines have cooled down, but this is the third news I want to say...the difficulty of the mission is not constant."
"Promoted?"
"Before we left, we went to the weather unlocking switch, didn't we? There was a two-star mission machine in that room, and I received a new mission." Lewanska raised her arms, "This time The mission is 'Don't die in the second crisis'."
"Doesn't it sound like an improvement?" someone said.
"The mission I secretly completed before has also been refreshed. It's one-star. It was just a certain location before, right? But this time the mission is 'Kill a servant in the second crisis'." Dacoran He sneered.
"The one-star missions are also starting to have kills?"
"The end of each crisis probably means that the mission will be upgraded by one level. Otherwise, it will become very easy for us with the level of props to be improved." Shan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lewanska, "In this case You should take that into consideration too.”
"Yes, so now we need to act collectively and aim to move everyone up to at least level two."
"Are you crazy?" Dacolon jumped up again, "There are fifteen of us! Even if only half of us need to improve, that's seven or eight, more than twenty stars! These are the props for a person to practice the fifth level. It can all be opened!”
"The problem is that it can't be given to one person," Lewanska said flatly.
"Yes! One person can only have tasks for a total of ten stars, but we can allocate some people to guard the machines of low stars..."
"Thinking about what you have done, do you think there will be someone to help you guard the machine?" Shan frowned and sneered, "I agree with Lewanska. Judging from the first crisis, our strength is not enough. Now at least At the second level, you can be even safer with props such as disgust candles."
"Dacolon, you have proven your strength. We will allocate certain resources to you, but it will definitely not be what you think." Lewanska said, "Of course, no matter what the reason for your previous help The reason has also helped us survive. You have paid off the debt of secretly completing tasks before, and now you can leave if you are not satisfied."
"I won't leave! Shit! Lewand! Do you think I will still have the idea of acting alone after the crisis? Only a fool would seek death like that! I need teammates! I need strong teammates! If they can't do it in a short time If you catch up to the same level as me, isn't that the same as being a burden?" Dacoran said loudly, "I agree with your concept of team survival, but I don't agree with your idea of bringing in a bunch of burdens! We don't have to--don't we? Aren’t these core ones enough?”
"Ah... we don't think anyone is a burden at all." Shan frowned and didn't give him any face.
"Everyone played a key role in the battle." Lu Ning said coldly.
"Hey! What is this? The mercy of the strong? Do you want to be dragged to death before you can complain?"
"Dacolon, if you say that again, we may not be able to resist beating you."
"Although you saved us, our patience has its limits."
Those whom Dacoran had long described as "liabilities" began to speak out.
