Chapter 46: Determining the Plan

The group of people fell silent, and no one said a word. Because of such a dispute last time, no one was able to take down the black scorpion.

At this time, a man said in a stern voice: “No one expected that someone would be so shameless. They secretly deal with the black scorpion. But if we kill the mutated boss, we don’t know about its strength or how many rewards we can get.”

The young girl looked around, and then said, “The people standing here are all city lords in Jinghe District. We all know that there is no way for us to succeed alone. But I have to say that it is really difficult to distinguish rewards.”

“Yes, I have worked hard, but the rewards are not good, so who would like it?”

“That’s right.”

The young girl reassured everyone and calmed down, “He Ange and the others from Rain Dragon City will arrive later. This time, we should make a good plan. We don’t know much about the mutated boss. If we don’t cooperate, it will be difficult to kill it by our team.”

Who doesn’t want to kill the mutated BOSS? The black scorpion appeared more than a month ago, and it was discovered by one of the city-state’s teams. Many people in the city-state discovered that many teams gathered to kill it. They were confident that they could kill it.

Unexpectedly, the black scorpion’s defense was extremely high, and the poisonous sac of the tail sting almost wiped out the entire team.

With so many people gone, it must be impossible to hide it. Later, they found out that it was a mutated boss. The city lord was greedy. He continued to gather some small teams in the city, and a mighty group of people tried to take down the black scorpion.

There were nearly 200 people in total, many of them were cannon fodders, not even professional players, at most they were stronger. But they want to grind some blood for the boss.

Just like that, about half of the nearly 200 professional players people were killed or injured, but quite a few of those cannon fodder escaped. What was more serious about this case was, the city lord was directly killed by the black scorpion.

The news came out that the city-state would disappear without its lord. Several neighboring city-states had attracted some residents into their cities, so they also learned about the news about the black scorpion.

It was just that the loot cannot be evenly distributed, so it has been dragging on.

Unexpectedly, someone killed it while they were dragging their feet. The city lords present all regretted their actions, but they also began to wonder in their hearts whether some of the city lords joined forces to kill the black scorpion secretly.

He Ange, who parted ways with Lu Jiu and the others not long ago, arrived here with his team members.

According to Shen Jufeng’s observation, there were about fourteen city lords present. This number surprised Zhuang Yun. In his opinion, it was not easy for the city lords to get together now that the entire world was getting bigger.

Lu Jiu mailed him, saying that these city lords all have that somersault clouds, so it was not difficult to get together.

There were so many city lords, but only a few of them brought people. On the other hand, He Ange, whose city-state was close, lead the most people.

Seeing He Ange coming, the young girl who had the right to speak before said: “City Lord He, we have to come up with a plan today, otherwise, we will be wasted all the time. I’m not sure if someone will sneak again to kill this mutant boss.”

“The black scorpion is gone?” He Ange ignored the other words and only asked whether the information that the black scorpion was killed was true.

“Mmm, I went to see it myself. There was nothing there. Before black scorpions would appear immediately if you get in close range, but there was no movement after I went there. Then I went to the barren mountain to see. The black scorpion should have been killed.”

After hearing this, He Ange, like the other city lords, wondered if the other city lords had joined forces to do something wrong.

Seeing his suspicious eyes, the atmosphere among the group of people was a little stagnant.

“We patrolled together from several city-states in three days, plus our supervision and the inspection team was disrupted and reorganized irregularly every week, so it was unlikely to be among us.”

As soon as the young girl said this, the stagnant atmosphere eased a little.

Lu Jiu couldn’t help but look at the young girl a few more times. She was not very old, but her mind was quite active.

“Could it be done by outsiders?” Someone asked doubtfully.

Jinghe District doesn’t only have a dozen city-states, others from afar don’t have much contact with them.

For some reason, when he heard outsiders, He Ange remembered the people from Jinjiang District he had seen, but there were only three of them. He doesn’t believe that three people could kill the mutant boss.

“No matter who did it now, we still have to inspect there to see if the black scorpion will respawn. If it doesn’t respawn, then there may be various mutant bosses in the future.”

The game was like this, there was no fixed BOSS, and new ones will be spawned.

He Ange turned his head to look at the young girl. This girl was Li Aoting, the lord of Taixi City. She was young but smart, and she was the person he always wanted to unite with.

Of course, this union refers to marriage. In his opinion, although the world was gamified, it doesn’t make them completely like game characters. They still have emotions and desires.

Besides, Li Aoting’s appearance and temperament belong to the royal sister type, which was the type he likes.

“Then what kind of plan does City Lord Li think she can designate this time?” He Ange asked.

“Our Jinghe District will have a fixed refreshed BOSS in an area. For this BOSS, several city-states usually come in turns. The same can be done for mutated BOSS. When we find a mutated BOSS, we will take turns to kill them, and we must take out the rewards dropped by the wild monsters and put them up for auction.”

Suddenly, more than a dozen people began to discuss. This method was feasible, but the difficulty was that there were too many participating city-states. Who knows how long it will take to refresh a mutant boss, and who wants to wait forever?

Because everyone was arguing about this, they still can’t decide.

But Li Aoting, who made this suggestion, was not in a hurry, and just watched the people in front of her arguing.

[She has other plans.]

Liu Jiu received Shen Jufeng’s mail, which contained these words.

She immediately felt that the little girl was amazing, no wonder she was so calm.

Sure enough, when everyone still couldn’t make up their minds, they still told Li Aoting that this method would not work.

“We have only fifteen city-states participating here. Who will be the first and who will be the last.” Everyone wants to be the first, but no one wants to be the last.

“It means that everyone agrees to take turns.” Li Aoting said, with a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth.

Everyone nodded, one by one, of course.

“But everyone should also understand that no matter how they are arranged in turn, they will not be convinced. If this is the case, then it is the same as the inspection of the black scorpion back then. Fifteen city-states form a team, and five city-states form three groups. The order will be determined by lottery, and the first draw will be the first group to kill the mutant boss.”

“This…” It was still a competition, it was not the result they want.

“But there is no way to guarantee that every city-state can kill the mutant boss.” Some people think this was not possible.

Li Aoting replied slowly: “The fact that everyone had to compete in our peaceful society before, it is even more so in the game world now. I just let the competition change from 1 vs 15 to 1 vs 3, which is more time efficient than 1 vs 15.”

These words silenced the conversation. Li Aoting was right. The world needs competition, and only those who have strength can grab good resources.
