Qiao Gun was the first to stand up, walking to the left.
"I specialize in bare handed combat, and am also an outstanding grenade thrower."
As he spoke, he took out 8 pitch black grenades and placed them on the table. He then casually tossed out a glass cup from the side. The glass cup smashed into the opposite wall 5-6 metres away, but it didn't shatter. Instead, it bounced off the side window and flew out. This displayed his ingenious control over his strength and his ability to judge the environment. He indeed had the qualifications to call himself a grenade thrower.
"Next." Qiao Gun shrugged his shoulders towards the rest.
Following this, the Symbiosis sect's inner circle had already discussed. Most of them were like super female contestants, displaying their long range combat talents. Even though everyone could see that it was flashy but not practical. In the end, the five of them looked at Sheyan, waiting to see if he could come up with something surprising. But just like what Qiao Gun predicted, Sheyan shrugged his shoulders, his throat muttering a few vulgarities. Vexed, he said:
"Damn it, I love to rush up and hack those bastards into pieces … … I don't have any long range combat abilities." “
When Sheyan uttered that last sentence, the black surface of the flintlock 'Ambition' hidden within the nightmare imprint's interspatial storage, flashed with a trace of anger … ….
Qiao Gun sighed.
"Regretfully Seaman, everyone needs to contribute to the party's goal. Since you are unable to contribute in terms of damage output, then you can only shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the first to lure the troll. Actually you don't need to be too nervous, your mission is to successfully lure this stupid monster out of its lair, then run a kilometre away! You don't even have to participate in the following battles. Ok, it's that simple, relax buddy. "
Sheyan was stunned.
"Wait! Why do we have to dig the trap a kilometre away from the troll? "
Qiao Gun shrugged his shoulders.
"According to boss's report, the mountain troll likes to sleep on the ground, therefore any tremors underground would be easily felt by it. Unfortunately, to dig out a trap to trap such a huge monster is not an easy task. Therefore, boss repeatedly emphasized that 1 kilometre is the minimum distance to ensure our safety, it cannot be shortened any further."
Towards the end, Qiao Gun walked to Sheyan's side and forcefully patted his shoulder. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and settle this matter. To Qiao Gun, the reason why he wanted to recruit Sheyan and Diaz, was because both of them would play important roles. Diaz would be the main firepower, while Sheyan, who called himself Seaman, would be the one taking the greatest risk! Qiao Gun had to ensure that his party suffered the least casualties, only then would he be able to increase the chances of the Symbiosis sect entering this world!
“OH，NO。 Sheyan angrily waved his hands as he paced back and forth in the wooden hut, shouting loudly. "Qiao Gun, this is murder! You gave me a job that was even more dangerous than pulling out the Black Mamba's teeth! “
"Calm down my friend, you need to calm down and listen to me." Qiao Gun very patiently patted Sheyan's shoulder and said. "We will be your backing. The ogre isn't scary, its 2200 pound body won't pose any threat to you. As long as you don't stop moving, it will be fine."
The real situation wasn't as simple as Qiao Gun made it out to be. The mountain troll was indeed clumsy and stupid, but that didn't mean it wasn't a threat. Adding in the length of its arms and wooden club, the mountain troll's attack radius would exceed 6 metres. Furthermore, there wasn't any evidence that it wouldn't throw its weapon out. Just think about the consequences of being smashed by a 4-5 metre thick tree trunk! Furthermore, its flying speed was supported by the mountain troll's arm strength, exceeding 60 km/h. Apart from that, there was also the condition of the road. Various accidents could occur, and once there was a mistake, the consequences would be fatal!
In actual fact, Sheyan wasn't surprised by Qiao Gun's arrangement at all. In fact, ever since Qiao Gun started to rope him in, he already knew what this scheming guy wanted to do. But the reason why he dared to stay and step by step followed Qiao Gun's rhythm, was because he had a strong self-confidence.
His self-confidence came from that number.
30 points.
The highest physique Sheyan could achieve at his peak!
A total of 30 points of physique!
In addition to his valiant innate ability 'endurance'!
Even though the mountain troll possessed a terrifying arm strength, and its physical damage would definitely reach a terrifying level. Receiving a direct attack from it would be fatal to all contestants including Qiao Gun. But Sheyan didn't think he would be that weak. A total of 300 HP, 37% additional damage absorption, and 25 points of damage reduction from his innate ability 'endurance'. In other words, the mountain troll would have to deal at least 516 points of damage to be able to insta-kill him. And such a terrifying single attack, according to common sense, wouldn't appear in this difficulty.
Furthermore, in this world's storyline, it was emphasized that a teacher of Hogwarts could easily subdue an adult mountain troll. If the mountain troll could really deal such terrifying damage, even if its magic resistance was zero, it would still pose a huge threat to the teacher's life. Therefore, the phrase 'easily subdued' would definitely not be included in that sentence. Just like how few people in this world would say they could 'easily subdue' a cobra.
But even though Sheyan didn't mind 'playing around' with Qiao Gun, that didn't mean he would completely follow Qiao Gun's script. At least until now, Sheyan still intended to keep his secret. Furthermore, if he wanted to accept the dangerous job of 'luring the mountain troll', then Qiao Gun would have to offer him sufficient benefits. If he straightforwardly agreed, then there would only be two outcomes. First, others would treat him as an idiot and a stepping stone. Second, those gazes that were originally on Diaz would be focused on him. Until all his secrets were laid bare, magnanimous and exposed … ….
After Sheyan resolutely rejected Qiao Gun's fourth persuasion, this guy finally loosened his mouth and said he would give Sheyan 'a little help'. This loosening of his mouth was good news to Sheyan. It was like how a sturdy dam would take many years to form a small crack, but when the crack becomes bigger, it would only take a few months for the dam to collapse.
Qiao Gun's fifth persuasion was a success.
He felt a sense of relief and heartache.
To make this damned yellow man act as bait, he had paid a huge price. The total price was as follows:
1500 utility points
An Aspirin (Concentrated Version) that can restore 40 HP immediately after consumption.
This medicine also had a special effect: After using this medicine, within 300 seconds, other medicines with the same effect will not have any effect on the user.
There was also the 3000 utility points overdraft limit after slaying the mountain troll. (That is to say, amongst the loot of the mountain troll, if Sheyan wanted to purchase, then he could take away 3000 utility points worth of items without spending a single cent. Of course, if the item's value was above 3000 utility points, then the extra would have to be compensated with cash. Of course, if Sheyan didn't purchase it, then this sum would be converted into 1500 utility points.)
Since the two most important positions of firepower and bait had been settled, then the following series of matters would naturally be completed. This temporary 7 man squad swiftly set off, following the outskirts of the dark forest towards another hill. That place was the mountain troll's lair. The mysterious president of the Symbiosis sect had already sent a message to Qiao Gun, accurately pointing out the location.
Pitch black night, pitch black forest. The sun was still shining brightly during the day, but now it was raining. Qiao Gun took the lead as he walked forward. When the wind mixed with the raindrops hit his face, a wave of chill enveloped him. The other contestants of the Symbiosis sect couldn't help but shiver. A guy called Gale muttered half a sentence, cursing this damned weather. He then coughed heavily, spitting out half a mouthful of phlegm into the shrubs.
Then he froze.
Because at Gale's throat, there was a cold and pitch black gun barrel pressed against it. The owner of the gun barrel was called Diaz.
This arrogant and powerful man used a hurried and low voice to gnash his teeth.
"Find that phlegm you just spat, then bury it 1 foot underground, immediately! If not I guarantee that the next time your throat will spit out your lungs and blood! "
The atmosphere instantly tensed up, the members of the Symbiosis sect immediately entered a state of alert. Sheyan hesitated for a moment, he could sense a trace of exasperation in Diaz's voice. To cause Diaz to suddenly become so aggressive and crazy, he definitely couldn't ignore this! Thus, Sheyan silently retreated a few steps, coincidentally standing behind Diaz, using his actions to express his attitude.
Everyone present sunk into a deadlock, of course Gale who couldn't maintain his calm stuttered.
"Hey, buddy, I only spat a mouthful of phlegm ….. if that shrub I aimed at has any special meaning to you, I can immediately apologise to you. But can you please remove the gun barrel from my neck first? Believe me, this feeling isn't good. " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
