Chapter 42 A Long-Term Vision (Bonus Chapter for Book Friend Tombstone)
Save Reef, no benefits, big punishment.
Save Tulip, big benefits, no punishment!!!!
Reef slowly closed his eyes, the smell of blood slowly seeping into his throat. He could of course distinguish the key interests involved in an instant, so he no longer held any hope.
Although there is a saying that nothing is more grievous than a dead heart,
At this moment, the feeling of resentment and unyielding in Reef's heart was about to expand and surge wildly, as if it would explode his entire chest alive!
He forgot the boundless sea of insects around him, forgot the excruciating pain from the bites all over his body, forgot the sky, forgot the earth, forgot life, forgot death!
His mind was blank, a voice repeatedly echoed and screamed in his heart, seemingly wanting to take over everything!
"I'm willing to trust every person worth trusting, why do I only reap betrayal?"
"I'm willing to help every person in need, why do I only receive exploitation?"
"I'm not reconciled!"
"My blood is still not cold, why did I end up like this!?"
"My blood is still not cold!"
"Why, why, why!!"
Under such questioning, in such confusion, in such a tide of insects, Reef closed his eyes, knelt on one knee, and plunged the lightsaber in his left hand into the ground to support his body!
His heart was dead.
He was in despair!!!!
However, at this moment,
Just when Reef thought the whole world had abandoned him,
The dazzling sunlight dimmed.
A huge and powerful pressure plummeted from the sky, crashing down heavily behind him with a "bang!" That feeling, that feeling of security with support behind him! It almost made Reef, who was as strong as steel, tremble uncontrollably all over.
Immediately afterward, an indescribable heat swept over his body and face with fierce force. Because the temperature was too high, even Reef's eyebrows and hair gave off a burnt smell and curled up, but Reef felt that the heat was indescribably warm. In the midst of extreme abandonment and deep despair, suddenly there was a companion fighting side by side. This feeling…
"I must be having a hallucination before death," Reef stood there with his eyes closed, muttering to himself. Then, he was kicked hard in the butt. The force of this kick was quite strong.
Reef turned around in anger and opened his eyes, but the scene in that instant made this guy, who had never shed a tear even in the most desperate and collapsed moments, burst into tears uncontrollably!
It was a hand stretched out to him!
A large hand with thick calluses on the knuckles of the index finger.
It was a palm that gave him hope!!!
Of course, at the same time, Mogansha's loud cry came:
"Give me your hand! Stop spacing out, I don't want to turn into sticky feces in three hours and be sprayed out from the ass-"holes of these damn velociraptors. Boss? Can you still hold on?"
Fang Senyan, who was holding the flamethrower below, didn't answer. He tilted his head and gave a thumbs up with a cold expression. Although his health was only half full when he jumped down, these velociraptors were not elites. Most of the time, they could only forcibly deduct one point of health when attacking, and the critical hit rate of the velociraptors was not high. Therefore, he could at least last for a few minutes. The surviving team in the distance had been completely submerged and devoured by the sea of velociraptors, silently like sugar or salt dissolving in water.
Fang Senyan pulled the trigger of the flamethrower, and a fire dragon more than twenty meters long spewed out. Fang Senyan held the flamethrower and rotated in place, and the crazy flames spread out in a fan shape, engulfing a large number of velociraptors. A brief open space was cleared around him again. Mogansha controlled the host to approach the ground again, and Fang Senyan jumped up and grabbed the palm extended by Mogansha, cleanly using the force to climb back into the host's transport cavity.
Of course, it wasn't just Fang Senyan who could jump. Several velociraptors also pounced up ferociously, grabbing the long tentacles hanging down from the host and scratching wounds on its surface, and also trying to climb and tear in the air. Although the host's health was not short, it was really a bit tricky because it couldn't fight back. Fortunately, there was still a spore flying dragon escorting it. Although this guy was scarred, it was not a problem to fire a few bullets to kill a few velociraptors with super weak health.
"Fuck, fuck it." Mogansha couldn't help but curse, because the three people who were still alive simultaneously received a prompt from the Nightmare Imprint:
Main quest: Rescue the Hardcore Squad, failed.
Reminder: Lieutenant Johnny Rico is dead. Sergeant Tichi Flores is dead. Sergeant Levy is dead. Commander
Faith Kichi is dead.
Reminder: Your highest attribute point has been deducted by 3 points.
Reminder: Your merit points have been deducted by five points, but your merit points have already been reduced by 6 points due to this main quest, so you are exempt from this deduction.
Reef, who had been silent since being rescued, suddenly lowered his head and said:
"I'm sorry."
Fang Senyan looked at Reef and smiled, sincerely saying:
"Saving you was our own choice, so you don't need to apologize. If you really feel like you owe us something, then we have taken on two very difficult tasks, helping us complete them will clear things up."
Reef sighed, leaned his head against the host's flesh wall, and said with a miserable smile:
"Can I still help people? My previous team was shattered because they believed in me! You see, the crazy Hanike and the others can't even leave their corpses behind now because they believed in me!"
Fang Senyan said in an affirmative tone:
"So this time, it's your turn to believe in me.
In fact, your previous failure was very simple: that is, you were forcibly pushed into a position that was not suitable for the team, just like using diamonds to pad a table, of course the table will be unstable. Using Playboy to wipe your ass will naturally cause hemorrhoids..."
Reef's eyes darkened, and he spread his hands and smiled bitterly:
"Thank you for your reminder, but can you change the last analogy?"
After this extremely fierce battle, everyone was extremely exhausted. Reef, who was physically and mentally exhausted, simply collapsed into the tentacles and fell asleep.
At this time, the goblin gold mine didn't know when it sneaked to Fang Senyan's side. After glancing at Reef, who was almost half-comatose in the distance, it sent a message to Fang Senyan through something similar to telepathy with a distressed expression:
"Master! The stupid and hasty decision you made at the beginning has caused us an economic loss of at least 103,219 universal points!"
Fang Senyan bandaged his wounds and smiled, responding with the Nightmare Imprint:
"My friend, some things cannot be measured by money."
The gold mine's eyes widened, and it said anxiously:
"Oh! My master, you, you, you are really too naive!"
Fang Senyan shook his head and replied confidently:
"The loss of saving Reef is 3 basic attribute points and 6 merit points, right? If we turn around to save Tulip and the plot characters, then the main quest will be completed, and there will be additional perfect rewards. Judging from the difficulty of this quest, there will be at least 6 basic attribute points and 8 merit points as rewards. The difference between this in and out is 9 basic attribute points and 2 merit points. Am I right?"
The goblin gold mine took out an old-fashioned calculator, tapped it a few times, and then said impatiently:
"Time is money, my master, please just say what you want to say."
Fang Senyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly:
"According to my current development, getting 9 basic attribute points and 2 merit points is just a matter of experiencing two nightmare worlds. But! From Mogansha and their reactions, it can be seen that contractors with defensive talents are so rare."
Speaking of this, a raging flame had already ignited in Fang Senyan's eyes, a raging ambition! He looked at the goblin gold mine and said word by word:
"My dear friend, then please tell me, how many worlds do you need to experience to have the luck to encounter a talent defense core (mt) that is already disheartened, has nowhere to go, and is already half-grown? Ten worlds? Twenty worlds?"
The goblin gold mine scratched its head blankly, and dandruff fell like snowflakes:
"Well, it seems like there's really some truth to it."
Fang Senyan was speechless:
"Can you take away that 'seem'..."
