Yesterday, the players completed the fifth round of missions. Early this morning, Lin Chen heard the news that the barbarian army had captured another city.
Moreover, there was news in the Flower House that the imperial court was about to send King Awen of Zhenyuan to fight.
It's just that those people who originally had high expectations for King Zhenyuan now can't get angry at all.
Several battles at the border have caused heavy losses to the dynasty's troops. According to them, even if King Zhenyuan is extremely capable, it may not be of any use.
Make bricks without straw.
And the barbarians are not weak at all.
When Lin Chen heard the news, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
These scholar guests' guess was quite good. If King Zhenyuan really suppressed the barbarians, I'm afraid there would be no copy of this copy.
Everything has been determined, and now it is just a journey of history.
As for King Zhenyuan, if he really wanted to appear, he would have already turned into a ghost.
Everything went smoothly for the rest of the day, like the calm before the storm.
The players completed four rounds of tasks in more than two days.
That is nine full rounds.
During this period, Lin Chen completed two Oiran tasks, one of which was Bai Shao's, and the other was an accident, which was Ningxiang's task.
Lin Chen's favorability did not improve during this task, but the young prince who had hurt Ningxiang suddenly appeared in the Hualou copy.
In response, Lin Chen naturally accepted it without any politeness.
Therefore, although Ningxiang's favorability is not high, it is somewhat of an unexpected surprise.
While completing the Oiran's task, I also gained a powerful ghost.
It is worth mentioning that as long as the ghost is on the Oiran mission, its strength has reached the limit of the palace level. The ghost power has been condensed to the point where it is about to merge with the ghost realm with the ghost body, and the price is not cheap.
After Ningxiang's mission ended, she no longer appeared, so the oiran on the seventh night was Ye Lan, who had appeared on the second day and was ghosted by an ordinary guest. She had never interacted with Lin Chen and others. . It was already the early morning of the eighth day after entering the dungeon.
In the past two days, because Zhou Geng and Gu Yehan were unwilling to do the oiran job anymore, Lin Chen's energy was also focused on Bai Shao.
Therefore, Lin Chen left the two Oiran tasks in the middle to Tomb Lao Lao and Jiang Chen, two top players among the six stars.
Lin Chen solved both the ghost coins and the task ghosts by himself. Therefore, who Lin Chen chooses in this dungeon depends entirely on his preferences and opinions.
Moreover, Tomb Old Man and Jiang Chen are veteran six-star players, and they do have a certain prestige among players.
No one else will say anything.
During today's regular morning meeting, Tomb Old Man and Jiang Chen also gave Lin Chen satisfactory answers. They had achieved a good rapport with the oiran.
Lin Chen admired this very much.
She is worthy of being an old prostitute who has been in the flower market for a long time.
The old man from the tomb sighed: "Actually, nothing happened between me and that girl Yelan. This woman had a bad fate. She was originally a young lady from a wealthy family, but her family fell into poverty. She married her childhood sweetheart, but she was not a good husband. Sold her to a flower house. However, she was different from those prostitutes who were self-paralyzed and fell into sinking. She was very sober, but could sincerely smile at me. I really couldn't bear to do anything to her anymore, so It's blasphemy, it's hurt..."
When Lin Chen heard this, he gave a thumbs up.
Well, this Lao Deng actually came out of the realm for prostitution.
Jiang Chen, another strange man who spent the night with the oiran, only gave two words.
"Very smooth!"
...
At present, 80% of the overall task has been completed.
Four Oiran tasks have been completed and two more are in progress.
A total of sixty-four small tasks have been completed. Taking into account all the female prostitute ghosts and boy ghosts, there are still eighteen tasks left.
In other words, if six people complete it, it will take at least three rounds to end.
In the past two days, the atmosphere in the dungeon has undergone a huge change.
The copy is recreating the scene of the past, and the number of phantom people in the ancient city has now increased.
In the flower house, the peace and tranquility at the beginning, with singing and singing every night, turned into the roar of wind and cranes.
The barbarians have already broken through twelve cities. As long as they break one more city, the next stop will be at the foot of the ancient city.
Many aristocratic children had left the ancient city overnight through connections, but ordinary people were sealed in the city and were not allowed to leave.
Today's barbarians have threatened the dynasty's artifact Sheji. The policy issued by the imperial court has become very iron-blooded. The people in the ancient city cannot evacuate, but must turn into soldiers to resist the barbarians. This means that the people and the city can coexist and die.
King Zhenyuan, who has always had a strong presence in the dungeon, finally has definite news.
The imperial court finally seemed unable to withstand the pressure. It was said that it had arrived at the city ahead and was fighting the barbarians.
This is also the only hope for the people of the ancient city.
Otherwise, in desperation, the order of the ancient city may have seriously collapsed.
But Lin Chen knew that this despair was inevitable. King Zhenyuan would definitely be defeated, and after retreating to the ancient city, the ancient city would fall. This was an established fact.
"The barbarian ghost army is not far away. Boy Chen, you said you can solve it, but why do I feel unsure." The old man Tomb approached Lin Chen, his face wrinkled.
"To be honest, although every time I see Li Shen take action, I have a feeling of shock, but I also think it is very difficult to fight against the ghost army of the same level. After all, no matter how strong you are, Li Shen, the high-frequency When the ghost power and physical strength are still exhausted in the battle. "Jiang Chen also said the same.
Although Lin Chen vowed that there would be no problem, this matter could easily lead to disaster, and no one could rest easy.
Zhou Geng also frowned, looking a little solemn as well.
Seeing this, Lin Chen had no choice but to give everyone a reassurance and said:
"In a sense, I'm already a seven-star star."
"What?"
"How can this be?"
Everyone was shocked, their eyes widened, and their faces looked incredulous.
It's not that they hadn't thought about it before, but the possibility of Lin Chen's breakthrough was really small in their opinion. After all, it didn't take long after Lin Chen made a big fuss in the horror world and broke through to six stars after returning.
This kind of improvement speed is really too fast for them.
Lin Chen said: "So the six-star dungeon is nothing to me. The so-called army of barbarian ghosts cannot be a group of true king-level evil ghosts."
Seeing that Lin Chen didn't seem to be joking, everyone began to believe it, but their hearts still couldn't calm down.
Although Lin Chen's words could reassure them, the content was still too exaggerated and shocking.
In the end, Lin Chen asked everyone to disperse and continue to complete the task progress.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, continued to drink wine downstairs, waiting for the arrival of the barbarian ghost army.
"Everyone, please rest assured. With King Zhenyuan taking action, the enemy can be defeated in an instant."
"Yes, King Zhenyuan is a strong man who can take the head of an admiral in the midst of thousands of troops like a man in a bag. No matter how ferocious the barbarians are, they are no match for King Zhenyuan."
"King Zhenyuan's status today is entirely due to his accumulated military exploits. He joined the army as an ordinary soldier, and in just one battle, he was able to take the heads of thousands of people and win the title of Killer of Thousands."
"How come it's a thousand people? Isn't it ten thousand people?"
"Huh? Why did I hear 100,000 people?"
"One general's success will make a thousand bones wither."
The guests around him were talking, and Lin Chen almost laughed out loud when he heard it.
Sure enough, rumors in any world and at any time are constantly being enriched.
You originally said that you just wanted to go to the toilet, but when it spread to a hundred people, it might become that you wanted to build a toilet on the moon...
However, he knew that King Zhenyuan's strength during his lifetime should not be bad, which made him have some doubts.
flower
He doesn't know what the world of Lou Gucheng was like in the past. Even Xuan Mu, the master of the dungeon, probably can't remember it.
Their knowledge is limited to things related to this copy.
But Lin Chen now understands that this is not like an extraordinary world. It is really unreasonable for an ordinary person like King Zhenyuan to be able to kill the enemy.
"You said that King Zhenyuan was just a scholar and was physically weak. Although he was talented, he was ultimately powerless. How could he achieve such feats?"
Someone was asking, and it happened to express Lin Chen's doubts.
However, other people didn't understand it very well. They were either confused, deep in thought, or just talking nonsense. Those words were not very reliable at first glance.
Not long after, Lin Chen realized that he couldn't hear any more useful news, so he got up and left the flower building.
This was the first time since he came to the dungeon that he had left the central point of the Flower Building.
On the street outside, the number of pedestrians increased significantly, and Lin Chen also saw some officers and soldiers patrolling around with gloomy expressions. "Are these all traces of their past?"
Lin Chen said to himself.
The difference from the previous days is that these figures are no longer so blurry, but more suspicious. However, this is still just a trace, not a real ghost.
Speaking of which, it is somewhat similar to the wandering soul in the demonic sea.
This made Lin Chen feel very sorry.
"It would be boring if the so-called barbarian army was like this." Lin Chen couldn't help but think so.
I was afraid that the person who came was not an evil spirit.
Lin Chen walked to the city gate. There were already many officers and soldiers stationed here. Lin Chen jumped up and jumped to the city tower more than ten meters high.
There are all ghosts here, and Lin Chen doesn't need to worry about risks such as their recovery.
Moreover, with Lin Chen's current strength, if he wanted to make some moves, no one would be able to find out.
With the breath-holding technique activated to the extreme, even if Lin Chen walked in front of these phantoms, he would not be noticed and would turn a blind eye.
Outside the city is a wasteland, which is completely opposite to the prosperity inside the ancient city.
At a glance, he could see several miles away, and beyond that, there was a gray fog, the boundary of the copy.
Lin Chen had seen the boundary of the dungeon more than once, but this dungeon was obviously very different from what he had seen before.
This fog is not calm, but very turbulent, as if a strong wind is blowing inside.
It is very rich, as if it contains endless evil ghosts that will roar out of the mist at any time.
It has extremely terrifying oppressive power.
"The scope of this copy is indeed quite large."
Lin Chen said to himself, not paying attention to the abnormality of the black mist, but just sighed.
The previous dungeons, Menggui Restaurant, Demon School, etc., once you leave the core area, there is nothingness.
And this flower building, not to mention a city, has opened up a lot of land outside the city.
This is prepared for the battlefield.
Suddenly, it seemed that the mist felt Lin Chen's gaze and began to vibrate rapidly.
Thunder exploded one after another, and in the mist, it seemed that a giant beast was waking up, and slowly opened its bloody eyes.
The eyes are clearly visible. If compared by size, each one is as big as a house. It is difficult to imagine how terrifying its body is.
After seeing Lin Chen, those giant eyes, which were originally emotionless, suddenly showed a trace of amusement, as if they were sneering.
One can imagine that the face wrapped in mist was looking at Lin Chen with a cold gaze.
Perhaps if it is an ordinary player, the liver and gallbladder will be broken at this time, and even a real evil ghost will feel chills all over.
But Lin Chen was the complete opposite. Under the gaze of these giant eyes, he became more interested because he knew that the entities of these eyes must be real ghosts!
The next moment, Lin Chen's eyes were filled with golden light, and he used his physical skills to look at him without any scruples.
Lin Chen's eyes were
How terrifying, even a towering ghost like the city lord was once given goosebumps by Lin Chen.
If people are naturally afraid of ghosts, then ghosts will also have the same effect on Lin Chen.
Because ghosts eat people, and Lin Chen catches ghosts.
Sure enough, a trace of surprise flashed in those giant eyes, and he was obviously a little uncomfortable.
It seems that in its view, humans as a race should surrender to fear in front of it. This is the first time Lin Chen has seen humans like Lin Chen who put pressure on him.
It was a little confused. Could it be that it was my first time to be a ghost and I was inexperienced, so my judgment on human players was wrong?
In the end, the eyes slowly closed. I don't know if it was because of fear or because the time for them to appear had ended.
Lin Chen chuckled lightly and turned around.
How lonely it is to be invincible...
The soldiers on the city wall didn't know what had just happened. In their eyes, the fog and eyes were no different from ordinary flowers and plants.
And Lin Chen also returned to the flower building.
And at noon, he solved the favorability task of two six-star players.
The two six-star players breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the ghost who had been on the mission was solved in the end, and they couldn't help but feel a little joy in their hearts. After all, being able to complete such a difficult copy so smoothly was definitely an extremely lucky thing.
But soon, their hearts started to rise again, and they were obviously very afraid of the coming army of barbarians.
Lin Chen took a look outside and felt a little doubt in his heart.
He originally thought that the army of barbarians would appear when all players' favorability tasks were completely completed, but in this case, King Zhenyuan, who was defeated in the city ahead, would inevitably return to the ancient city first.
You know, except for these two six-star players, everyone else's mission is almost over.
There is not much difference between them, and it usually takes no more than an hour before and after. In other words, the ghost army will arrive under the ancient city in an hour, but King Zhenyuan still does not appear, which is really strange.
Not long after, as players came to the door one after another, while Lin Chen completed their tasks, there was finally movement in the ancient city. Pedestrians were walking quickly outside, all heading towards the city gate. .
When they got here, they seemed to have news that the barbarian army was coming.
Lin Chen did not follow, but continued to help players solve the favorability task.
Finally, when the favorability task of the last player ended, there was violent movement outside the city.
The sound was so loud that it seemed to contain thousands of troops and horses, with people shouting and horses neighing, and drums and horns blaring. Even though Hualou was in the center of the ancient city, the sound of soldiers and horses could still be heard from outside the city.
Just when Lin Chen met up with the players and prepared to go out of the city to check, an unexpected figure appeared.
She has a graceful figure and unparalleled beauty. As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of all players.
"Miss Zhimu!"
"Miss Xuanmu!"
Zhou Geng and Gu Yehan spoke in unison.
The visitor was none other than Xuan Mu. She did not wear a veil like other courtesan, but revealed her alluring face. She was dressed in white and was as holy as the snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains. She was holding a guqin in her hand. He was about to leave the flower building.
An idea flashed in Lin Chen's mind. He looked at her with squinted eyes and asked, "Why did you come out?"
Longing and love flashed in Xuan Mu's eyes, as if she was thinking of something. When asked, she spoke softly:
"He's here, I'm going to see him."
