Chapter 119: What Madness Are the Players Unleashing

Huo Ke and the Gunner are watching the barrage comments, and Ji Ming, hiding behind the curtain and peeking at the screen with the system, is also watching the barrage comments.

Only, they are doing it to interact with viewers, while Ji Ming is doing it to pre‑select some outstanding talents to enter the game.

Usually the Gunner's live room would have only a few dozen people, but after streaming some impressive in‑game maneuvers, it barely reached two hundred.

But today, just half an hour after starting, the number of real viewers already exceeded ten thousand, the barrage was a sea of messages, and the interaction was overwhelming.

And the streamer is a rough guy; in the neighboring Xi He's live room, the concurrent viewers have already surpassed fifty thousand.

Those who know say they are live‑streaming a tour of Dog Village.

Those who don't know think they're holding a birthday party waiting to collect rice.

Actually Ji Ming originally planned to go there to scout talent, since higher hype means more talent.

But the moment he entered the live room, he saw the barrage wildly spamming 【Support Pure‑Natural High‑End Water Heater】, and a Sun Ge type frantically spamming rice, even trying to mic‑connect with the streamer to confess, which scared the streamer away.

Although most of the Gunner's live room viewers are just there for the spectacle, the streamer's positioning is different, so the atmosphere differs as well.

【Isn't that a coincidence? Bro, I can do fire folds! Learned from Zhao Daye downstairs, my hands are very skilled】

Huge tower shields, exquisite linked crossbows, iron armor armed to the teeth, even a cross‑shaped great sword with an exaggerated design!

However, besides intensified training, yesterday's defeat also made the players realize another truth.

As a foodie, he was already displeased that Death God had stolen the spotlight, and once he got his hands on it, he immediately began unscrewing the lid.

【Aren't there more glowing plants near the Kobold Cave? In my opinion, we should just gather some fish oil and grass fuzz, set a fire, and do a fire‑burn raid】

Now Ji Ming can't even quietly argue with his player account.

After shouting so much, the barrage also started 【Charge!!!】

Fortunately, Ji Ming's quick eyes and hands caught the falling potion bottle; otherwise the toxic gas bomb would have shattered on the ground and Dog Village would be lost today.

So…

【By the way, a note: the Barbarian Charge seems to grant an Unyielding effect while active】

【How about we bind a few onto Death God, let him lead through the minefield, then we execute a coordinated tank‑step charge?】

Fireball Scrolls and other new batch of items were even taken box by box, and Fu Le carefully dispersed them into several wooden boxes.

For example, the first barrage comment says his family has a hereditary sword‑forging skill, and he's now selling craft swords and knives online for his uncles.

Nevertheless, the players keep complaining, and almost every squad started pooling points to redeem the items they desire.

In the end, after only half an hour, the identical issue topped Bihu.

Thus the armor was taken first, and Zhao Jun felt the weight and solidity on his body, a sense that he finally became a complete form.

Only seeking death: 【?】

Soon after, the tower shields and linked crossbows were sold out, and a few players who had been diligently training crossbows for the past two days finally upgraded from bird‑guns to cannons.

Death God, speak on your main account!

But before he could click confirm, the picture above caught his eye.

【Level‑1 Player·Only Seeking Death: Killed by a spike trap】

【No, I don't get why everyone is so cowardly, is it really worth it to play a game?】

Gunner's reply: 【Thank you for believing in me, but I really can't, thanks!】

Being in a dungeon, the materials and tools at hand are inevitably limited, greatly restricting their ability to carry out various plans.

Ji Ming hadn't had time to intervene when he saw him tilt his head back and gulp down a mouthful forcefully.

Even over fifty names in the trending searches for neckwear popped up this term, enough to show how terrifying the hype for Code: Sun Moon is today.

Perhaps high‑level players can indeed mindlessly crush, but for them now, defeating Kobolds requires far more cunning and slyness.

【Hey friend, come to the village center quickly; tell us whatever materials you need, we'll provide manpower and effort!】

The immature scheme gradually took shape on the public screen, and under the veterans' guidance it slowly became reality.

【I activated it once before dying; the corpse only fell after crushing three traps, so powerful】

Even his fingers were trembling, and he hurriedly posted all the items onto the public screen.

This is the moment the Mysterious Merchant makes an appearance.

As for the third…

【I recall there's a fish in Sacred Tree Lake with a skull so hard it can block Gunner's thrust】

This discussion quickly turned into a cross‑world debate with over a hundred thousand participants.

【Just let the Gunblade and a few top players from Justice Hero form a squad for an assassination‑style operation, right? I even think Gunner alone is enough!】

【I've been watching those players behind the streamer trying to unleash skills; their timing and rhythm are off, how could they possibly succeed?】

Hmm, indeed.

Ji Ming had the junior boss check each of their backgrounds; although many were just Dong Ge pretending to know, some actually had something.

Surprisingly, some people even began seriously pondering the feasibility of farming‑type stories, earnestly discussing on the public screen the possibility of hand‑crafting flintlock guns and tiger‑crouch cannons.

Fortunately, Death God truly has no alt account, just another semi‑hardcore player appeared.

The previously scattered players now oddly felt a bit like a startup team.

【I think everyone's thinking was flawed from the start; we shouldn't have attempted large‑scale battles】

【The gun in the streamer's hand looks decent, my old man's best gun is about that level】

【It hurts, but friends, it's really doable; they set traps faster than I can step on them!】

"Sss~ sss~ why does this feel flavorless…"

Thus, at the suggestion of two professional squads, all the players merged into one guild.

【If it really doesn't work, each of us can carry a few sticks, mark any suspicious spot, don't complain about the hassle】

Ji Ming dragged open the map and examined its feasibility.

Perhaps future players will indeed be able to unlock some less difficult tech trees, but for now it's definitely impossible.

【Everyone, let's brainstorm a bit: how to deal with the traps outside the mine cave, and how to descend into the goblin mine cave, speak up】

【Anyway the dungeon doesn't get strong winds, and Dog Village is also on the high platform of the square, so there's no fear of trouble from headwinds】

He casually killed this shameless ambusher, and Ji Ming displayed the latest version of the goods.

The second is a fitness blogger on D Station with hundreds of thousands of followers, who advocates healthy training and scientific body cultivation, and also knows some weapon tricks.

Then the glowing wild fruit tree turned to ash, reducing the already pitiful dungeon menu by another item, right?

"Dad, you finally came back to see your son!"

【Friends, there are far too few players in the closed beta; if we really want good stuff, why don't we pool our purchases?】

Thus, at the urging of several players, the public chat occasionally has someone sharing a new idea.

【Don't forget soap, cement, and perfume; we can still do business later, right?】

【Execute a scorched‑earth strategy, give the goblins a little technological shock!】

Ji Ming sharpened his eyes and still spotted one or two odd ones among a flood of junk comments.

Unfortunately, the squad was never a particularly strict organization; many members wore multiple hats, so after buying what the Boy‑Girl Squad wanted, the Frei Squad ran out of money.

Record, record, record everything.

【I just contacted a friend abroad, he's from Texas, and he said hunters like to place traps on the Beast Path, on relatively gentle slopes, and on the steps of side paths, etc.】

【Dogfolk are NPCs scared of death; we are players and aren't afraid, so just fill the upper levels with our lives, right!】

And the players' imaginations are indeed huge.

These over one hundred thousand people also inspire even more folks to ponder the issue.

???

When he opened the potion tab, it was an unprecedented luxury that made his eyes widen instantly.

Now the players don't need to think; just watch the Quora‑like gurus babble and nag, and the answer becomes clear.

After two whole days of pigeon‑posting, when the players saw that familiar black silhouette again in the small square, it felt a bit like the warm reunion of old friends.

And because many players, whether they're bloggers or not, are now streaming live.

They gathered in the small square, aiming to draft the most suitable shopping list.

But since reliable plans exist, that means there are even more unreliable ones.

Now more players go to Hoke to learn barbaric charges; on the modest training ground, a continuous stream of "Charge!!!" erupts.

Even the seemingly suspicious gas bomb was sprinted over by Ao Li and snapped up at full price.

The Mysterious Merchant's goods this time turned out to be remarkably powerful, all top‑tier weapons that would sit at the very top in Mount & Blade.

【Nice, the wisdom of the ancestors!】

…

"No more talk, I'll first let everyone sample the salty‑sweet taste, Ao Li's gift, cheers, brothers!"

Seeking a death: 【Sure, you reminded me, I'll crush him right now!】

【Level‑1 player·Seeking a death: killed by a rolling log trap】

Ji Ming, frightened, quickly lowered his head to glance at the player list.

【Our orc friend's muscles are really impressive, when will the game actually launch? I'd love to spar with him!】

Someone immediately stepped forward, intending to screenshot the item, add their own watermark, and post it in the public chat for a splash of presence.

So…

【Fireball Scroll, even though the closed beta has no mage class, there are still magic scrolls, right?】

When the open test releases slots, pull everyone into the game to work for me!

Now no one is spouting nonsense in the public chat; instead a string of question marks appears.

【Anyway it's just an obvious easy path, seems the goblins really do it that way. Everyone can keep an eye out then】

Ha, this one is even more heavyweight—a captain of a domestic archery team, a broad‑shouldered, big‑waisted Mongolian man.

【I copy, double‑salary sword!】

【What does this gas bomb mean, how can one bottle be sold for ten exchange points?】

【I think we still need to bring fire sources; they're useful for scouting, fighting, or lighting】

Ji Ming, expressionless, pulled up the player death notice early and didn't make them wait long.

【Or bring some wooden rolling balls? Step on the traps in advance】
