What Ji Changhao said may be correct, but it still doesn't help much. Lu Ning knew his inner excitement and hesitation and had no intention of trying to persuade him.
"Part of your guess is correct, that is, this Four Seasons Garden is indeed a simulation operation carried out by the mastermind to target a part of history. However, I think it is not just that. After all, if a simulation is really to be carried out, the number of people will be too small. It will definitely There are some other purposes. I met people from Pavilion before, and they know a little bit of relevant information. From this information, we can basically judge that the people who come here are selected from all over the place and then sent in. "
Lu Ning raised three fingers.
"There are three issues that need to be paid attention to at the moment."
When she said this, everyone in the room paid attention.
"You can pay attention to all kinds of dangers on the surface, but you need to pay attention to the dangers hidden in the dark. First, there may be people from the 'Mastermind' in this garden."
Ji Changhao was surprised: "Why did the mastermind come in in person?"
"I don't know. If they really want to simulate, then the mastermind should also be an integral part. And secondly, this experiment is not a one-time thing, remember?"
When everyone woke up, the announcement clearly said [this time in the Four Seasons Garden].
"Since it is not a single event, people who have experienced the Four Seasons Garden experiment before may also be selected to enter here again. These people have a certain degree of prophecy and may become hidden dangers."
Lu Ning curled up her third finger.
"Third, the chain reaction of the crisis. The problems we have experienced so far are all independent. If we look at it from an overall perspective, it is actually very easy to deal with. Just let people go to the place where the crisis occurred to clean it up, regardless of the casualties. , the number of people here is currently enough to cope with the release of twenty to thirty monsters at a time, and as the level of the props increases, the combat effectiveness of a single person will become more powerful. Then there are two possible changes in the future, either A single crisis monster enhancement, whether in terms of quantity or quality, or a compound trigger of the crisis, simply put, makes us overwhelmed."
"It sounds like the latter one is more technical." Gan Xu raised his hand.
"But how to do it specifically..." Ninomiya asked doubtfully.
"For example, in a certain crisis, someone is forced to trigger a trap, thus triggering a trap crisis. Since the countdown to the next crisis will not stop during the crisis period, if it cannot be cleared up in time, it is likely to form a situation where monsters continue to accumulate and increase. During this period, there may also be situations where someone forcibly unlocks the weather in order to delay time and increase the difficulty in the area. In the end, all the gardens fall into chaos, fighting each other, and the number of people is slowly reduced."
"I have thought of the possibility you mentioned. The problem is, if they really want to do this, there is nothing we can do, right?" Ji Changhao said helplessly.
"Yes, at least the current level of the props is above the crisis level." Lu Ning shook her head, "We can use this method to adjust the problems caused by the crisis."
As long as the first-level props are used well, you can survive the first crisis, but the "rust" that just passed was a bit difficult to use at the first level, and the second-level props can be specially dealt with. Whether it is the storage function of the portable belt bag or the protective function of the disgusting candle, if used properly, the minion-level enemies can be eliminated within an acceptable level. The third level is obviously higher than the difficulty of rust. If Cheron County is fighting alone, he can use the invisibility cloak to slowly dismantle the machine. The monster box and the mobile barrier can also deal with the logging machinery without any damage.
"So Mr. Ji, the most important thing for you now is to hold one or two third-level props. There are differences between each level of props, and the differences are very obvious..."
"We also want to, but it's getting harder and harder to earn stars."
"If you don't want to fall into a vicious cycle." Lu Ning said.
Ji Changhao sighed. How could he not know that as the difficulty increases, it will become increasingly difficult for people without advanced props to complete the task? But in this case...
"We still have to buy the final key and get out of here. This forces us to spend stars, but in the end no one can escape."
Lu Ning stopped talking. She felt that all these early investments were necessary, the value of the leader would always increase, and the main source of the stars that finally escaped might be the crisis.
"Having said that, I will tell you the specific functions of the third-level props. I hope you can make a good decision."
======================
Ji Changhao left with his students. Lu Ning did not leave in a hurry, but walked around the elevator shaft and entered the circular room on the other side to check it out. There is a one-star mission machine in this big garden. Just as Mao You's mission was completed, he took over this mission as well. Lu Ning found a four-star mission machine in another room.
[Task Level 4: Obtain an Anti-Psychology level weapon or equipment. 】
Lu Ning stared at the task and saw the words on the screen disappear without seeing any additional instructions.
"Nekoyou! Explain to me what this means!"
This time, Maoyou couldn't explain it. Even though he had heard a lot of gossip, he still had no idea about something that was already a bit academic. If anyone here can explain it, it's probably someone from the pavilion like Lewanska or Cherunshire.
Lu Ning returned to Courtyard No. 1 with this mission of unknown meaning.
The weather unlocking here has ended. Lu Ning stood in front of the glass door and was not in a hurry to go in. After all, the danger inside was almost visible to the naked eye.
A large number of flying insects gathered into black masses in the air, and the unbearable buzzing sound could be heard through the glass. These swarms of insects continued to float across the grass, but did not harm the plants on the ground. Lu Ning endured the numbness of his scalp and took a closer look. There were many types of insects, and there were even many black shadows jumping in the grass.
"Is this the weather of spring?" Ping Na kept grabbing her arms, as if there were bugs crawling on her body, "Where do so many bugs come from in spring?"
"We definitely can't go in here, at least we have to get some clothes..." Maoyou kept shrugging his body. The resonance of seeing so many bugs was so strong that even if none of them flew into the corridor, it would be difficult not to subconsciously beware.
"No need, just look at this and you will know how that person will die."
Lu Ning shook her head. As Lewanska said, it is easy to die if you don't prepare for weather unlocking in advance. Whether it is heavy snowfall in winter, heavy tides in autumn, or insect swarms here in spring, special preparations are needed.
At this time, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and Lu Ning turned her head. There was no cover this time, and it was finally the first time that the two parties met in this scene.
Cheng Wuling put his hands in his pockets and stopped at the intersection of the bifurcated corridors.
There was no need to communicate at all. With Cheng Wuling's ability to analyze and judge, Lu Ning didn't even need to give her a look. The other party had already seen the situation she was in and spoke.
"When we first met, we were rangers from the city wall."
Mao You hid behind Ping Na with some trepidation. The weapons of the three of them in Cheng Wuling looked like they were not easy to mess with, at least not ones that he could mess with now. Even his usual energy to show off his cleverness was gone.
"Hello." Lu Ning nodded slightly to Cheng Wuling, "Since you came from there, maybe you have been to Courtyard No. 2?"
"That's right. That's where we came from. Now we need to see what the unlocked Courtyard No. 1 is like to prepare for the weather unlock there. By the way, we have found the location of the button."
Cheng Wuling laughed heartily, making Lu Ning feel even more numb than before.
She couldn't see any flaws in this appearance, and Mao You relaxed a little more because of this.
"You won't attack us, will you?"
"Even if we do this, what can we grab from you? We don't have enough points, and we still have to survive several crises. At this time, hurting each other will obviously reduce our survival rate." Cheng Wuling spread his hands, "Don't worry, we are just protecting ourselves."
"Then, the location of the large weapons depot..." Mao You bravely asked.
"Sorry, even if I tell you, you can't go. It's better to think about it now." Cheng Wuling ignored his question lightly and looked at Lu Ning, "But you seem to be the leader? How is the situation in this courtyard? Sample?"
"Flying insects." Lu Ning couldn't stand the cheerful appearance of Cheng Wuling. The contrast with Fujii Yukine was even more unacceptable than before, so she quickly took over the conversation.
"Is the weather in spring a plague of insects?" Cheng Wuling raised his eyebrows, "Then you may need to prepare some specific equipment. At least there is no protective clothing in the arsenal in Courtyard No. 2. Night clothes and the like cannot stop bees. Something like that stings.”
"Oh...if it's protective clothing, there will probably be one in the Winter Garden."
"We came from the Winter Courtyard," Si Fanle said. "There are thick winter clothes there, and there are also snow combat uniforms, but there are no protective suits covering the whole body."
"There may not be two gardens in summer and autumn." Cheng Wuling glanced at Si Fanngle, "So this type of equipment is not provided here?"
"You have been to the large weapons depot. If it is not provided here, then it can only be found there." Lu Ning said.
"There are indeed biological and chemical warfare clothing there, and even space suits, but they are too bulky and are not conducive to fighting in this environment at all." Cheng Wuling shook his head, "It seems that the weather unlocking of Spring Garden still needs preparation. .”
"Since you came from the Winter Garden, do you know what the unlocking scene is like there?" Lu Ning asked.
"Blizzard." Si Fanle answered her question, "With the continuous blizzard and the strong wind, ordinary rooms can't block the snowfall at all. You can only enter the big room. But if you stay for too long, the door will be blocked. Snow blocks the air, and indoor oxygen will no longer be supplied, making it almost difficult to walk outdoors.”
"It sounds pretty bad..." Mao You muttered next to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning looked at Cheng Wuling and Si Fanngle, and suddenly asked, "Have you been to the Beehive?"
"I've been there twice." Cheng Wuling curled his lips, "Perhaps I will go there again in the future. You don't think that the weather unlocking of a single garden and the overall weather unlocking will be the same difficulty, right?"
"Of course not...Thank you, I understand something."
"In that case, how about telling me some information you know? For example, what is the weather unlock in Autumn Garden?"
"If it stays wet for too long, it will have the same effect as drowning, or even actually drowning."
"Have you ever seen anyone acting particularly strangely?"
"In this environment, it's pretty normal."
After Cheng Wuling asked these two questions, he thought for a while before asking the last question.
"Any information on the next crisis?"
"I haven't seen any useful information from the mission, but I heard from others before that the next crisis may be related to Xuanyi Tower."
Obviously this term did not cause any confusion, both Cheng Wuling and Si Fanngle had clear expressions on their faces.
"So that person's speculation is a slice of history...is it?"
"Exactly."
"It's a possibility, but... well, I think I know where to go next." Cheng Wuling gestured to the two people around him, and Lu Ning discovered that it was a long time ago before he was promoted to the first level. One of the communication codes they discussed was like...
"Yes." Si Fanngle nodded, then cupped his hands at Lu Ning and the others, "I hope you all will survive well."
After saying this, the three people quickly turned back, turned the corner of the corridor and disappeared.
"What kind of riddles are you playing!" Mao You was a little depressed, "Are powerful people so unpredictable?"
Not necessarily.
Lu Ning knew the meaning of those gestures, "strong enemy", "delay", "promote" and "kill". Each word had its own meaning. There is a hidden powerful presence in the scene, perhaps a hostile party. The current situation takes time, so try to get it while you can. There are suitable improvement channels, and you need to improve your strength as soon as possible. Killing can solve some of the current problems.
And the message she passed to Lu Ning was obviously not consistent with the message she gave to Si Fanngle. In other words, they also used the same set of gestures to agree on different contents?
She didn't think Cheng Wuling was lying. These four words had no obvious direction, and before leaving, she also gave Cheng Wuling two gestures in return.
"Scatter" and "Behead".
Coupled with the information revealed to each other in the previous conversation, she and Cheng Wuling already understood the general information and situation the other party was in, although they both kept their own strength secret.
Lu Ning raised her arm and took a look. There were still more than forty minutes left in the countdown, which was enough. As for the problem of flying insects, she and Cheng Wuling discussed it very hard to deal with it. In fact, disgusting candles and moving barriers can easily solve this problem. If there are fourth-level props, it will definitely not be called a trouble. So the difficulty of weather unlocking almost certainly doesn't stop there.
"Three, six, right? You noticed it very early...or do you just make a guess first and bet on the accuracy like you usually do?" Lu Ning said to herself.
