Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 35 Dog Bro, I Have Another Idea

After discussion, the group decided to use the "sacrifice detection method" to define the BOSS's attack range.

As for the candidates...

"Human detector, 200 coins for one life, come work for me!"

After refreshing the chat twice, several applications popped up in front of Wang Ergou's eyes.

This is a clever trick that players figured out on their own. Simply put, it requires players who are about to log off to act as "human detectors." They will likely die, but once they die, they can log off immediately without waiting to respawn. They can respawn directly from the spawn point when they log back in, thus creating a time difference.

After all, the only loss upon death is the items you're holding and the equipment you're wearing. As long as you take off all your clothes—of course, you can't take off your underwear, because if you do, you'll be locked in a dark room... but you can take off all your other equipment and clothes! As long as you're naked and scouting the way, the only negative effect of dying is that you have to wait for a certain resurrection cooldown. But—I'm about to log off, do I really need to wait for a resurrection cooldown?

Thus, this extremely unconventional "work method" came into being. The current market price is 100 coins, and it will probably drop if there are more players in the future. As for why Wang Ergou doubled the price... it's simply because the BOSS's location is too remote, and it takes a long time to get there.

Wang Ergou quickly switched the team to team mode and let four players in at once.

"Brother Dog, give me the coordinates!"

A hoarse voice immediately shouted from the microphone.

Wang Ergou quickly posted the coordinates he had marked before his death in the team chat—it was quite a distance from the spawn point. Even if he used the Speed ​​Talisman, Lightness Talisman, and Wind Control Technique together, it would still take nearly an hour, and that was calculated based on the fastest air flight speed!
The man with the hoarse voice was dumbfounded and said embarrassedly, "Brother Gou, I can't go on. My mom's calling me for dinner, and this place is too far!"

Wang Ergou was very understanding: "It's okay, you can just leave. I let several people in because this place is too far away, and I was afraid some people wouldn't be able to come."

"I can't do it either, I'm outta here."

Another player apologized and quit, leaving only two players remaining.

One of the players said weakly, "Brother Dog, I can go, but the distance is really ridiculous, and I don't know how to draw talismans, so I haven't prepared any speed talismans or anything. It'll probably take me a long time to fly there..."

Dog Brother said very generously, "It's okay, you two just come to the main hall entrance, I'll reimburse you for the speed talisman and the lightness talisman!"

The Speed ​​Talisman and Lightness Talisman are the most commonly used and simplest talismans. Even ordinary people who have not cultivated their Qi can draw them. This is because their actual effect does not depend much on the talisman maker, but rather on the user's cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the better the effect. If an ordinary person uses them, they can probably only make the user run faster and jump higher.

The low cost of making talismans once reduced their price to 3 coins per talisman among small groups of players—purely a cost of paper and ink. After all, you don't even need cinnabar to draw these two types of talismans; ink is enough. If you buy the lowest quality yellow paper and ink, you can draw more than 30 talismans for 20 coins!

The Jade Emperor suddenly stopped Wang Ergou from reaching into his Qiankun bag, his eyes sparkling as he said, "Wait, Brother Gou, I have another idea!"

Wang Ergou: "?"

The Jade Emperor completely ignored Wang Ergou's distrustful look and excitedly asked, "Brother Gou, isn't your skill [Transportation]?"

Wang Ergou felt a chill run down his spine, but still answered, "That's right..."

The Jade Emperor's mouth instantly widened into a grin: "I remember last time you said that when you stuck the lightness talisman on the tree, you moved it with extraordinary ease?"

Wang Ergou asked warily, "What do you want to do?" "Well... I mean, you see, could we make something, you put a lightness talisman on it, and then a bunch of us stand on it while you carry it around?"

"?"

A question mark seemed to appear on Wang Ergou's forehead. He said incredulously, "Are you a living Yama? So you guys are enjoying yourselves up there while I have to run around and do all the work down here?"

The Jade Emperor continued to persuade him, "No, you can come up here too. Isn't your 'moving' ability about moving things from a distance? For example, if you're standing on a tree, can't you move the tree from a distance?"

One player in the team couldn't take it anymore and blurted out, "Seriously, are you exploiting a bug? Stepping on your left foot, then your right foot, then your left foot and you're flying? Even Newton would be turning in his grave!"

The Jade Emperor was still unwilling to give up: "Why not give it a try? It doesn't cost anything to try, and if it works, we can preserve our strength to the maximum extent! After all, it takes time to recover mana through meditation! Besides, Brother Dog was able to do 'flying on a sword' last time! I think it can work!"

Some players questioned, "Is [Transport] a skill that can be used remotely?"

This explains why the name of the skill "Transportation" is quite different from its actual function. This skill actually uses spiritual power to control the movement of objects, somewhat like Magneto. Of course, "Transportation" is not limited to controlling only metal, but can control everything through spiritual power, unless it is an object devoid of spiritual power—at least so far, no one has encountered any object devoid of spiritual power.

God knows why the skill name is "Transportation" when it's clearly "moving objects from a distance".

In addition, although this skill has little offensive power and is extremely difficult to control living beings or spiritual objects (Wang Ergou can't even lift a rabbit), it is incredibly easy to use on inanimate objects, making it quite impressive.

For example, Wang Ergou once controlled several iron swords to float behind him, disguising it as "Great Flying Sword Technique," fooling many players—in reality, he was just using the [Transport] skill for cosplay, with no real lethality. And then there was the "Sword Flight" that made all players envious—the post on the game forum exploded, with countless reposts. It was also just Wang Ergou finding a sword with a relatively wide blade, stepping on it, and then controlling the sword to fly, disguising it as "Sword Flight," which, in a way, could be considered "sword control."

So, although the Jade Emperor's suggestion sounds very improbable, but...

Suddenly, Jie Ran, who had been silent, spoke up: "It seems not impossible?"

The Jade Emperor was surprised to hear Ziran, who rarely spoke up, support him. He urged, "Right? Right? Brother Ziran said so, Brother Gou, why don't you give it a try!"

Wang Ergou also knew that, theoretically speaking, the Jade Emperor's idea did have some merit and should be feasible, but it would be a waste of time, and the person who would be wasting time was himself!
However, he didn't mind too much; it's a team game, after all, someone always has to make sacrifices.

So, while privately messaging a player to borrow items, Wang Ergou put his arm around the Jade Emperor's shoulder in a friendly manner, physically suppressing him, and said, "Hiss, be quiet, I'm asking Lani to borrow a bamboo raft!"

"That's right! Lani has a bamboo raft!"

Lani, who built the best house among all the players on the server, tied a simple bamboo raft to haul river mud and stones from the nearby stream upstream—the ones closer to the stream had already been emptied by players doing daily quests.

When Lani wasn't using it, her ugly bamboo raft was often borrowed by other players. Lani herself was very generous and never cared about such things. As long as she returned it and gave him some materials, he would accept it as "rent" no matter what it was.

So when Wang Ergou privately messaged her to borrow the bamboo raft, Lani didn't ask what he wanted it for and just agreed.

At that time, Lani never expected that Wang Ergou, who had always been trustworthy, would actually make a mistake and ruin this "precious" little bamboo raft that had been through the hands of almost every player.
