My Player 2

Chapter 141 Contradictions
At the northernmost part of Utopia is a continuous mountain range.

Even though the mountain range has no name, the first player to arrive here still calls it the "Spine of the World."

Because the geographical structure here is similar to the World Spine of the continent of Faerun.

The continuous snow-capped mountains rise and fall, the highest peak reaches the sky, and the lowest valley mouth is hundreds of meters above sea level, separating the valley behind the peak from the outside world.

It's not easy to get through here.

I don’t know if there are four seasons in the dream space. At this moment, the “Spine of the World” is covered with a layer of silver-white snow.

Players have to walk through knee-deep snow and climb the mountain along a path filled with monsters.

The monsters here are obviously weak, but difficult to deal with due to the terrain. The bugs that suddenly jump out of the snow will attack passing players like terrain killers and bite off a large piece of meat from them.

At this time, the toxins on the worm's fangs, coupled with the extreme cold of the ice and snow... with the blessing of these two debuffs, low-level players are almost certain to die.

Many players gave up exploring the underworld map in the north after coming here once.

"Evil Old Duck Steak" was also accidentally caught in the trap, and a large piece of meat was torn off its back by the face-jumping bug.

Although he took medicine immediately afterwards, he still died from the extreme cold.

After his resurrection, he bought a full body armor and shrank his entire body into the iron sheet, making it impossible for the face-jumping bugs to bite him.

"Hao Xiao Xiao Ya Pai", who had been waiting for a long time under the escalator, couldn't help but complain when he saw his exaggerated outfit:

"You'll freeze to death if you do this. Your sweat will stick your skin to the iron sheet, and the slightest movement will tear off a chunk of your flesh."

"Evil Old Duck Steak" patted his armor and explained:

"It's okay. This is magic armor. I customized it with the [Cold Resistance] feature."

"How much is it?" 'Hao Xiao Xiao Duck Steak' asked immediately.

"800. Now, it is as troublesome for a Blacksmith to make equipment as it is forging iron in real life. Not many people have mastered the secondary profession, so it is impossible to mass produce equipment, and the price of equipment has never come down."

"You spent 800 for an early equipment?!" 'Hao Xiao Xiao Ya Pai' raised his voice a few notches, "Brother, we've been eating instant noodles for a few days. The money we saved by living frugally is not going to be wasted on you. You can only wear this equipment for two days at most, and you won't be able to sell it by then!"

『Evil Old Duck Chop』 couldn't help but frown, but still explained seriously:

"My reaction speed is not that fast. I can't avoid the suicide attack of the face jumper. I can't cross the mountain without this equipment."

"Can't you just focus a little more? It's not like you can't dodge!" retorted 'Hao Xiao Xiao Ya Pai'.

Hearing this, 'Evil Old Duck Steak' took a deep breath and said word by word:

"Listen carefully, not everyone has your reaction speed, and I'm not wasting our money. This is a necessary upfront investment. I only spent money on this equipment because I couldn't avoid it."

"Do you understand?"

『Hao Xiao Xiao Duck Steak』: “…”

The two did not continue on this topic.

In fact, there was nothing to argue about, but the two of them were still upset.

They continued on their way to the Spine of the World.

He dealt with the snow wolves that blocked the way, collected medicinal herbs along the way, and let the worm with three layers of serrations bite the metal armor.

When the sun in the sky went out and turned into a cold and lonely moon, the two of them reached the top of the mountain, which was their destination.

Seen from a distance, this is a gap in the "Spine of the World". The altitude is obviously much lower than other places, and it looks like a road specially for people to pass through.

When they reach the top of this mountain, their stamina will be exhausted.

Judging from the game design concept, there should be a rest point here.

But the designer of this game obviously didn't think so.

A group of level 35 snow ape monsters live here.

For a newly launched novice map, there is such a malicious design. Are they thinking that the blood pressure of new players is not high enough?
"Haha." 'Hao Xiao Xiao Ya Pai' sneered.

Although he didn't say anything, 'Evil Old Duck Steak' could hear his dissatisfaction and was very unhappy with this kind of sarcasm. There is no strategy for this game, and the structure of the new map must be guessed based on logic.

It's normal to guess right or wrong.

But I guessed wrong once, and you put on a bad face and put pressure on me...

Is it cheap?

"Roar!!!" The yetis suddenly became active. They smelled something strange and found enemies hiding nearby. They immediately roared to notify the tribe to fight.

Even in the ice and snow, this group of level 30 snow ape monsters are still extremely agile, and their noses are more sensitive than dogs, making it very difficult to escape from their hatred range.

The two level 14 novice players could not escape their pursuit at all. Not to mention that their stamina was exhausted and they could not even run away, so they could only walk slowly.

"Tsk, 800 yuan worth of novice equipment, and now it's gone." 'Hao Xiao Xiao Ya Pai' muttered in a low voice.

The blood pressure of "Evil Old Duck Steak" instantly rose.

The [Millennium Snow Lotus] they picked up on the road alone is worth more than 800 yuan. If two people die, it will be a huge loss. You must get the equipment, right?
But 'Evil Old Duck Steak' didn't say anything.

Under the metal helmet that covered his face, he tried his best to control his emotions.

Ultimately, this is because the two people have different concepts on consumption?

This matter needs to be made clear.

Starting a business together means getting to know each other and resolving similar conflicts.

Wait until tomorrow, when both of you have calmed down, and then have a good chat and let each other express your true thoughts.

If he is willing to talk, then take this opportunity to make the money matter clear and come up with rules that both parties can accept.

If he doesn't want to talk, he will still be expressing his emotions tomorrow.

Then just break up and avoid risks in advance.

The rioting snow ape monster was like a nimble monkey, with no sense of its hundreds of pounds of weight at all. It jumped around on the top of the mountain, its nose twitching constantly.

Suddenly, a group of ice crystals gathered in the air, attracting the attention of all the snow monsters.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The ice crystals suddenly began to spin, shooting crystal blades at the snow monsters.

These crystal blades are crystal clear and incredibly thin. Under the faint silver moonlight, they are almost invisible.

But "Evil Old Duck Steak" still heard the "puff" sounds one after another.

That was the sound of the crystal blade piercing into flesh.

Within ten seconds, the snow monsters that were running around the mountain just now couldn't even utter a howl. They all turned into streams of light and flowed to a corner of the mountain top.

“This experience special effect has a built-in invisibility breaking function. I’ve mentioned it several times, and the officials haven’t changed it.” The elf with pointy ears showed up depressedly.

He walked to the snow ape's light ball, looked at the items dropped by the snow ape, but did not pick them up. Instead, he looked in the direction of Ya Pai and the other two and said:

"What exploded was fur and meat. I can't use this material. Do you want it?"

The two came out. 'Little Duckling' was still hesitant, but the always shameless 'Evil Old Duckling' stepped forward and said bluntly:
"Yes, thank you, big boss!"

He glanced at the boss's name, which was "I am a cheater", one of the ten players at the start of the server.

Compared with other players who have opened the server, this one is really not famous.

Rumor has it that he is a wealthy man himself, and he plays with his wife, the "green player", so the game is not so utilitarian.

"You are only in your teens, what are you doing here?" the "Green Player" asked curiously.

Having just been saved by someone else and having picked up other people's materials, the "evil old duck steak" was too embarrassed to lie and said:

"Thinking that there is less competition in the north, I came here to develop my own territory."
