"Miss, send them off. It's not the way to treat guests when they answer our questions so honestly."
"You're welcome, we can leave on our own, there's no need to send them away, there's no need to send them away."
The four people were talking, but they were miserable in their hearts.
Hospitality? Can it be so natural to say that we are mainly against guests?
They looked at Meng Ran who was getting closer and closer to them, with despair on their faces.
"If you have something to say, if you have something to say, don't do anything, Heroine, don't..."
The only person whose legs were still intact saw Meng Ran walking towards him and said quickly.
Meng Ran put her delicate little hand on his shoulder, and put her right hand on the other person's arm and pushed it up.
Bang.
"Ah!" There was another scream.
Before the other three people could react, Meng Ran followed suit and reattached their dislocated shoulders.
"Don't let me know you do these things in the future, otherwise it won't be a problem of shoulder dislocation, understand?" Qi Zhen said lightly.
Several people held their arms and nodded in agreement.
"You can solve the leg problem yourself." Qi Zhen added.
"I don't dare to trouble you gentlemen."
Several people supported each other and hurriedly left the inn.
Presumably they will never forget these ferocious gods who appear to be harmless to humans and animals, but are actually ruthless and unreasonable.
After solving the problems of these four people, the next problem facing the team is the haunting of Dabie Mountain.
"I always feel that this matter is a bit simple." Li Qiang said.
Qi Zhen nodded, understanding what he meant.
"What? What's simple?" Yu Liang asked.
"What the captain means is that the clues and story line of this entire mission are too simple." Qi Zhen said.
"What do you mean?" Meng Ran interrupted and asked.
"Let me tell you." Qi Zhen nodded towards Li Qiang and began to analyze the clues and inferences obtained by the team.
"For example, when we were in Suzhou City, we first found the shopkeeper of the clothing store and accepted the task. Later, we met Zhao Xuance, which triggered so many subsequent events, right?" Qi Zhen asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Similarly, what happened to us in Wuhu was also made up of seemingly unrelated small things, which were fermented step by step before reaching the final stage." Qi Zhen continued.
"Even what happened in Chao Lake reached the final stage after we experienced the exploration of Ziwei Cave and the influence of Shi Qing Shihong's two mirages."
"Even if these are not counted, of the events we have experienced so far, which one is the simplest? Taihu Lake, right? It was also the foreshadowing of the Lake Bandits incident. Only later did we have the plot of the battle with crayfish, and this incident It will not only test our strength, but also the unity and consistency of our team, which I believe everyone has no objection to."
Looking back on everything that happened before, it was indeed as Qi Zhen said.
All the missions and storylines that have occurred since entering this game have presented various problems to the team from different angles.
"But no matter which incident or plot it is, it has never been as... without technical content as this one." Qi Zhen finally said the key to the matter.
"You mean..." Meng Ran said.
Qi Zhen nodded: "I don't know if you have noticed, but from the time we entered Shucheng to now, everything has gone so smoothly."
The smoothness here does not mean how simple the task is, but the unfolding of the plot, which obviously lacks the careful design of the system.
"After we were in Wuhu, we obtained information about the ghost king's mission in the Dabie Mountains from Wu Tian, and then came here. We happened to find that Shucheng was affected by the haunting of the Dabie Mountains and was in a depression. We had to enter the Dabie Mountains to solve the problem of the ghost king. Whether it was for To explore the reason why Zhang Zongchang continued his life, it was to reach Shushan quickly, or even to improve the people's livelihood here. All the clues pointed to the Dabie Mountains, which is why the captain said it was simple," Qi Zhen said.
"Does this matter have anything to do with that City God?" Jiang Yan suddenly asked.
Qi Zhen then remembered that she had not explained this matter to her teammates.
But now that he had spoken out, Qi Zhen no longer concealed it, and told everyone about the possible connection between this matter and Zhang Zongchang.
Everyone frowned, unable to imagine that there was another reason for the matter.
"However, there is nothing wrong with this logic. Although it is a little simpler to unfold the plot in this way, isn't it a normal thing?" Yu Liang asked.
"It's precisely because it's too normal that it seems abnormal," Qi Zhen said.
Everyone finally understood what the two were worried about.
"Are you too nervous?" Meng Ran asked.
Qi Zhen shook her head.
"If we regard these coincidences as normal things, then I can make three inferences now."
"First, if the unfolding of the plot is not complicated and does not require us to make difficult choices at every time point, it will only prove that the haunting incident in Dabie Mountain itself is difficult enough for us to cope with; second, Except for the incident of the Demon Locking Tower in Shushan and the leak of the demonic energy from the Well of Gods and Demons, we have no other clues about this game world, and it seems that these two tasks must wait until we arrive in Shushan before continuing. Problem, then what is happening in the Dabie Mountains now is probably the end of a large chapter of this game. You can understand it as a large chapter has been completed, so all the clues will point here; thirdly, it is possible that the system is deliberately advancing The speed at which the plot unfolds, let’s resolve things here as quickly as possible.”
"But why do you do this?" Meng Ran asked next.
"Who knows, maybe the actions of NPCs cause the plot in the game to advance too fast, so we must speed up the completion of our tasks? Or is the overall time to enter a game limited? Or is it just that the system is deliberately designed this way? of?"
If there are no clues at all, then it is not called inference, but just guessing.
"Then the next question is, what should we do." Jiang Yan asked.
"According to the original plan, we will set off early tomorrow morning before dawn to go to the Dabie Mountains to look for clues about the Ghost King and then solve this matter," Qi Zhen said.
"The analysis you just made is of no use." Yu Liang said.
"No, Qi Zhen's analysis is very important. It determines how we are prepared to face the next difficulties." Li Qiang said slowly at this time.
That's right, no matter who is present, they no longer dare to take matters in the Dabie Mountains lightly.
"What needs to be said has been said. Let's take a rest." Qi Zhen said.
Several people nodded and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.
"Yu Liang, I have one more thing to remind you." Qi Zhen suddenly remembered something and said quickly.
"Tell me what's wrong." Yu Liang looked at Qi Zhen's solemn face and asked doubtfully.
"Until absolutely necessary, don't let Xiao Ao help us fight together," Qi Zhen reminded.
"Then what's the point of our new teammate's existence?" Jiang Yan asked.
"I have a bad feeling. As long as Xiao Ao enters the rhythm of fighting with us in this game, I'm afraid the system will do whatever it takes to kill him like it did Zhao Xuance!" Qi Zhen Said in a deep voice.
"This is what I told you before, the rejection reaction."
"I understand." Yu Liang didn't dare to joke about this matter and nodded in agreement.
"But when it is absolutely necessary to protect yourself, you must not refuse to let him join the battle. I am afraid that after we return him to the team, the system will also take this into consideration and increase the difficulty of subsequent tasks." Qi Zhen continued.
"This speed is too difficult to grasp." Yu Liang said with a grimace.
"This also reminds us that we still know too little about the game." Qi Zhen was also a little helpless.
"Think about it, if we let characters like Superman, Kui Ye, or even Thanos join the team in the game, what difficult tasks will be waiting for us?"
After hearing Qi Zhen's words, everyone was silent.
Not to mention the people Qi Zhen mentioned, in this game, if Wu Tian is included in the team, how strong will the team be? So what level of enemies will be in the next mission? I'm afraid it's not at the level of Nuwa Shennong, but it must be a terrifyingly powerful immortal like the Great Descendant.
In order to prevent accidents and dangers that may still occur, Jiang Yan and Meng Ran were still in the same room. Li Qiang, Yu Liang and Qi Zhen were crowded in the same room. Qi Zhen was on duty for the first half of the night, and Li Qiang was on duty for the second half of the night.
The words Qi Zhen just said were enough for everyone in the team to slowly digest for a while.
Since starting in Wuhu, Li Qiang has been committed to allowing everyone in the team to rely on their own thinking, rather than just following the team's overall strategy.
This will have more advantages than disadvantages for the future development of the team.
Li Qiang also told Qi Zhen about this matter in private, and of course Qi Zhen had no objection.
Indeed, if both Qi Zhen and Li Qiang lose consciousness, or lack the ability to command and dispatch, the team will inevitably face a leaderless situation.
Even if Li San could have thought more carefully at that time, Lin Xiao would not have died so mysteriously.
Therefore, Qi Zhen should tell her teammates everything she thinks about first, and let them digest it slowly. It doesn't matter if they can't digest it. The important thing is to understand Qi Zhen's thinking mode and systematic thinking mode.
Of course, this does not mean that Qi Zhen's idea is necessarily right.
The former is to allow individuals to cooperate with Qi Zhen and even the team's overall actions, while the latter is to avoid falling into the trap designed by the system.
No matter which one it is, it is all for everyone to survive better in the game.
