Ming Dynasty: Summoning game players at the beginning

Chapter 3 They Come Hot
Facing the strong man charging towards him, the thief smiled contemptuously, thinking that the militia had chosen the wrong opponent.

The thief took a few steps back to increase the fighting distance.

But what he didn't expect was that when the enemy met him, there was neither the sound of swords clashing nor the sound of flesh being torn apart.

The militia in front of him was rolling left and right in front of him.

He raised his knife to chop, but the strong man always dodged it with his well-timed rolling movements.

"What kind of number is this?"

The thief exclaimed that he had encountered a magical fighting skill.

He had fought in the imperial army for many years, and had seen the sword skills and body movements of the imperial army in the north and south, as well as the squatting "rat fight" of the Jiannu. But he had never seen an enemy that would roll over before meeting a man...

"Ah!" The thief screamed and felt a sharp pain in his right foot.

He looked down and saw that it was the man who was rolling around who had cut his ankle with a knife.

The lucky guy chuckled and shouted, "Miyazaki Hidetaka never lied to me!"

These inexplicable words infuriated the thief. He kicked up a cloud of dust that blinded the man's eyes, then stabbed him in the back with his knife.

"Mother Gan Lin, using dirty tricks is unsportsmanlike!" The man roared in pain, and his nimble rolling movements came to a halt.

Before the man could adjust his defensive posture, the thief had already drawn his machete, quickly put it on the man's neck, and pulled it hard. Warm blood immediately gushed out like a fountain.

"I will... come back again..." As soon as he finished speaking, the hero who was rolling around died.

"Wow, buffalo charge!" Another strong man charged with a spear, and his loud roar revealed his intention of a surprise attack.

The thief dodged the spear tip sideways, grabbed the intruder's arm with his left hand, and swung the knife with his right hand to cut through the air, stabbing the intruder's belly accurately and even increasing the force to penetrate three inches deeper.

"idiot!"

Who would shout and scream before getting what they want? Isn't that just exposing yourself?

Seeing the two enemies killed on the spot, the bandits felt the pressure relieved. The combat effectiveness of this group of militia was very weak. Even if the village could dig out dozens of militiamen, what could they do?

It is no problem for him to kill ten people by himself.

But before he could let go of the dying enemy in front of him, he suddenly felt half of his body stiffen, and severe pain spread from his chest. He looked down and saw a spear piercing out from the enemy's abdomen and into his body.

With a whoosh, the spear was pulled out, and the bandit seemed to have lost all his strength, and he knelt on the ground with the dying enemy.

The thief stuck his knife into the ground to maintain his balance.

He stared straight ahead in disbelief, only to see the sturdy man who had just succeeded excitedly raise his spear and shout, "The first kill is mine!"

In order to kill the enemy, the other side even stabbed to death teammates who could still be rescued without mercy.

Is the other person's heart made of stone? Is he still a human being?
The thief looked around and saw that his brothers who had not escaped were killed one by one, and the screams and pleas for mercy echoed in his ears.

But he gradually couldn't hear clearly, his eyes were covered with endless darkness, and his body became colder and weaker.

The proud spearman walked over, picked up the machete that had fallen to the ground, and swung it hard at his neck.

"The enemy general's head has been captured!"

The balance of victory gradually tilted towards the player, the thieves around him continued to die, and those who lost their will to fight ran away.

Nearly twenty bandits either fled or died. Even if the bandits who didn't have time to escape knelt down and kowtowed for mercy, they would be hacked to death by the player.

With the three bandits being kept alive by Li Mu, the first battle of Yangjia Village came to a victory.

A cool spring breeze blew by, and Li Mu, feeling the heartwarming victory, glanced across the open space in front of him.

The players summoned out of thin air gave Li Mu strong support. It was impossible for him to fight off a dozen bandits alone.

The players were happily looting the bandits' bodies, while the villagers who had witnessed the whole process were already dumbfounded. They were like wheat waves falling in the wind, with their heads lowered respectfully to watch the show.

The crisis of bandits invading the village to rob was resolved, and the villagers regarded the Taoist priest who "turned beans into soldiers" as a saint who had descended to earth.

The "saint" they have been praying silently for many years finally showed up today!

The rescued couple supported each other and came to Li Mu's side, bowing deeply. They kowtowed and sobbed in gratitude to the Heavenly Master for his great kindness. If it weren't for the Heavenly Master's help, their family would have been finished.

"The Merciful Heavenly Lord who saves the suffering and the distressed!"

"A living Bodhisattva of great compassion!"

"God is merciful!"

The villagers banged their heads against the ground, deeply embedded in the muddy earth, crying and venting their inner pain and grievances, as if they wanted to vomit out all the humiliation they had experienced after years of praying to gods and accepting everything in vain.

It was impossible for Li Mu to feel nothing when faced with more than a hundred people bowing to him.

He enjoyed the admiration and gratitude of the crowd, and felt a strong sense of satisfaction rushing to the back of his head. The sense of accomplishment that came from the heart was transmitted from the brain to the limbs.

Now, not only the summoned players, but also the entire manpower of Yangjia Village are at his disposal.

Suddenly, a clear picture and a prompt sound appeared in Li Mu's mind——

[Expel the bandits from the village, conquer the villagers of Yangjia Village, and receive 500 Mandate points]

Oh? New rewards arrived?
Li Mu directed the villagers to clean up the mess, while he himself began to study the summoning system.

From the words "expel" and "conquer", Li Mu saw two reward mechanisms.

He understood that the reward for expelling bandits was nothing more than an experience pack for winning a battle.

Conquering the villagers of Yangjia Village should mean summoning players out of thin air in public, helping them defeat the bandits, and causing them to be greatly shocked physically and mentally, so that they submit and voluntarily become Li Mu's subjects.

So there are at least two ways to obtain destiny points.

Military victory, expansion and conquest.

Start a war and win, rule the territory in exchange for destiny, use the destiny to summon players, and the players can continue the war and gain more territory in exchange for more destiny.

Repeat the cycle and grow bigger and stronger.

But the idea is simple, but the reality is very bleak.

Soldiers need training, weapons and armor, food supplies, transportation to transport weapons, money and food, and a political and security system to maintain the territory...

Li Mu felt that the road ahead was long and difficult just by thinking about it.

As for what's most important next, of course, it's time to try a few ten-draw combos first. What if I manage to attract some special forces king?

Li Mu immediately entered the spiritual world and subconsciously invested all his destiny points into the mall lottery.

With a flash of dazzling light, all the cards seemed to pop out from a large zipper bag.

[17 beginner players, pairs of flip-flops, wooden spatulas, kilograms of corn, baseball bats]

That's it?

As the player loading time ended, Li Mu approved them to join, and immediately a group of new players were born around him.

Looking at the second batch of new players crawling out of the mud, Li Mu felt a tightness in his chest.

They all have 500 destiny points, so why are the number of players drawn getting smaller and smaller?

He likes the guaranteed corn very much, and a high-quality baseball bat can also be used as a killing weapon, but flip-flops and wooden spatulas are useless. Even if they are sold in the county town, they will not make much money.

Li Mu thought that his luck couldn't be so bad, and was about to try his luck with a few more ten-draw combos, but he saw that the value in the destiny column was empty.

He unknowingly "gambled" all the destiny points he had just obtained.

What should I do if I run out of destiny?
Keep waging war!
We learned from the villagers that the bandits who broke into the village to rob were just a "grain-collecting team" and that there were a large number of bandits entrenched on a nearby hill.

The bandits who escaped would definitely report back what happened here, and the main force of the bandits would come to attack sooner or later.

Before that, he had to torture the survivors to collect enough intelligence.

Just when he was about to take action, the restless players began to show their special attributes that they could not sit still at all.
