I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 859 456: Game Genre Switched Directly to Tower Defense

On the fourth day, the entire Zhen Shi Village had entered full alert, with Lan Qiushui and Base Station Old Liu having taken complete control over the village.

For top-tier players, having the right qualities is essential. If one can't take over a village in four days, what will happen when faced with a true world-saving mission?

Just like the Adventure King world back then, billions of players saving the world and resisting the pull of the Great Ruin—that's the real strength of players, not failing to control even a group of natives.

"First Era" invested heavily in cultivating players, especially the top-tier ones.

"Thinking about it, the talents of Guangguai Luli and Shura are outstanding, starting at an exceptionally high point, which results in their abilities leaning more towards combat. It's no surprise these two became lone wolves."

Gu Shanhai could see that in terms of combat strength, Lan Qiushui and Base Station Old Liu might fall short compared to Guangguai Luli and Shura. The duo possessed high combat quality, but in puzzle-solving and management, they were far inferior to Lan Qiushui and Base Station Old Liu, both of whom had simulators and text prompts, offering them significant advantages in information processing and strategy, saving them many steps in these areas.

This is quite normal; different developments naturally lead to different focuses.

Just like when Guangguai Luli swiftly completed quests, it was because he leaned towards combat, planning a route through the simulator to find a way to defeat opponents. If it's possible to beat them, it's all joy; if not, well, that's another matter.

Lan Qiushui and Base Station Old Liu lacked such talent, relying only on their own planning and exploration, which made them much steadier, without having wild and bizarre occurrences.

"But these two probably won't dare to come over today." Gu Shanhai chuckled.

Last night, he extracted the Treasure-Seeking Divine Skill and made it into a skill potion, while Lan Qiushui grudgingly lent resources to Base Station Old Liu.

Gu Shanhai knew that the two still possessed more precious items, but they wouldn't be willing to take them out, as such treasures involve personal matters; no matter how good the relationship, they wouldn't give them away.

They didn't dare come today, worried that Gu Shanhai might unveil more great treasures, an irresistible temptation.

What surprised Gu Shanhai with the extracted Treasure-Seeking Divine Skill was that it didn't just have a treasure-hunting function but was mixed with some abilities of the Demon Race, meaning it added attributes and other additional effects.

"After exchanging so many things, this one is the most interesting." Gu Shanhai observed the cube in his hand.

Its name is the Magic Mechanical Cube. This item is an upgradeable equipment with six faces and six forms, capable of transforming into six different weapons during combat.

The current weapon templates are empty; when Base Station Old Liu gave it to him, he already cleared the original weapon templates.

Moreover, this equipment has already been upgraded to a very high level and quality, making it an excellent reserve or secondary weapon for players inclined towards combat.

This was Base Station Old Liu's weapon. After giving it to Gu Shanhai, he wasn't left weaponless, as he himself is the strongest weapon, but he mostly uses the Magic Mechanical Cube.

The reason is when he doesn't use weapons and relies directly on body transformation during attacks, it can be painful.

His situation is unique, as he retains part of his pain sensory neurons.

So if his hands transform into blades, it feels like sharpening bones before attacking, while firing bullets feels like tearing flesh and throwing it at people.

Gu Shanhai doesn't know how real this is; Base Station Old Liu says it is.

Gu Shanhai thinks the possibility is quite high, though not fully explained, for he's sensed spatial fluctuations from Old Liu's body.

It indicates he actually has a folding space, and although he appears human, he can transform into a mech. Moreover, there's no need to worry about ammunition, as it's consumed directly from the inventory without loading.

So the described situation exist, although it only becomes relevant when ammunition runs out.

"It's a pity, this Magic Mechanical Cube is of no practical use to me, and has some issues." Gu Shanhai examined it, realizing it's actually a nano factory, but many functions are locked, needing further upgrades for full unlock.

This holds no significance for Gu Shanhai, who can see through all its data at a glance, whether it's about upgrading or simulating, he's completely clear about it.

He could even create another one with just a word.

But why bother creating this thing? Even at its max level, it wouldn't compare to the equipment held by the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers.

Give it to Little White as a toy?

That's possible, although Little White has long outgrown the age where toys are enjoyable. Besides, it can only be played with when Little White reduces its size; otherwise, normally, this thing wouldn't even be large enough for Little White to play with.

Thinking of Little White, Gu Shanhai's expression suddenly darkened.

"Little White, if you bite the flowers and plants on my head again, I'll shave you down to a Mediterranean!"

Gu Shanhai discovered Little White had stealthily run to the top of his main body to munch on the trees, not using its normal Qingyuan White Deer form but its gigantic true form. With its deer mouth, one bite had halved a tree; if its efficiency increased, it would truly gnaw a Mediterranean pattern on his head.
