Chapter 1 Mopping with People

Making a mop requires almost no skill. After selecting the "materials" for the mop, the group of players became very interested in the production process. Some wanted to participate directly and show off their skills, while others didn't want to show off, but were eager to watch the process.

Besides the human "materials," sticks and ropes were also essential. Being in the forest, sticks were certainly not lacking, especially the kind that were perfect for binding, naturally with branches.

As for the ropes, Gu Fei generously sponsored them, tossing over three bundles. The players were puzzled: what was this guy doing with so many ropes? The one he used to swing across the tree was still hanging there, he used one to tie Shui Shen, and now he pulled out three more bundles… This top expert sure had personality!

Outsiders could only speculate in their hearts. Those familiar with Gu Fei had already asked, like Yu Tian Shen Ming.

"Games still have their advantages," Gu Fei said with emotion, "It's so convenient to carry things in your pocket. It's not so convenient to carry so many weapons in reality."

"Weapons? Those are weapons?" Yu Tian Shen Ming murmured.

"Of course."

"So, you have other weapons in your pocket?" Yu Tian Shen Ming looked deeply at Gu Fei's pocket.

"A little, but most of them aren't very handy," Gu Fei said, showing Yu Tian Shen Ming some of them. Yu Tian Shen Ming had seen the Baptism of Fire before. Besides that, there was another one of about the same size, which Gu Fei explained was for wielding dual blades. Then there were several small daggers, which he said were for throwing knives; a large dagger, the white one he got from the werewolf; and a long wooden stick, which Gu Fei held up in front of himself and explained to Yu Tian Shen Ming: "See, this is called a Qi Mei Gun (eyebrow-level staff), up to the user's eyebrow height."

When Gu Fei took out something else, Yu Tian Shen Ming exclaimed, "Sai! Dude, dual blades, sai, staff, you're a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!"

Gu Fei was very depressed, but patiently explained, "This is called a tie chi (iron ruler). It was later introduced to Japan, where it was called a 'roving man's fork'. People who practice karate often use it."

"Do the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles practice karate?" Yu Tian Shen Ming muttered to himself.

Gu Fei fell into thought, recalling, "Well, it seems like they do a little…"

"Let me see it," Yu Tian Shen Ming reached out. Even if it was Gu Fei's so-called "tie chi," Yu Tian Shen Ming was sure that there was no such equipment in the game. Gu Fei's wooden stick looked like it was homemade, but this fork was clearly made of iron. Could someone without skills make it?

As a result, when he took it, Yu Tian Shen Ming was in tears. The so-called "tie chi" was labeled as "Uncle Mori's Lost Iron Fork," a typical quest item.

"It's an NPC's thing. Can you return it to him? Aren't you doing the quest?" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"Quest? The purpose of my doing this quest is to get this!" Gu Fei said, regretting, "It's a pity that I only got one. I need another one to make a pair."

"You can ask a kind person to do this quest for you to get one!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said, continuing to crane his neck, "What else do you have?"

Gu Fei was about to continue showing him when Zhan Wu Shang came over, "Hey, what are you doing here? Making the mop is about to start."

"Oh, oh!" Yu Tian Shen Ming ran over quickly, obviously more interested in making a mop out of a living person. Gu Fei shook his head regretfully. There was a reason why kung fu was becoming less and less popular. Look at Yu Tian Shen Ming, he was more interested in this kind of boring thing than learning about kung fu weapons.

"Aren't you going? I got a good spot in the front row!" Zhan Wu Shang invited Gu Fei.

"Let's go, let's go!" Gu Fei reluctantly put away his treasures and went with Zhan Wu Shang to watch the mop being made.

Thousands of people were watching, but there were only ten performers. Everyone wanted to see. Some players were pouting and unhappy because they also wanted to see, but Dao Ying Nian Hua scolded them and told them to continue monitoring the movements of the lurkers around them.

The rest of the people squeezed into one place, proving that Zhan Wu Shang's "getting a good spot in the front row" was necessary.

The ten selected individuals were lying on the ground. The selected mop makers held a rope in their left hand and a stick in their right hand, their faces filled with unprecedented smiles. A group of gambling enthusiasts had already "placed their bets." They were betting on which mop would be made first. During this process, bettors were strictly prohibited from talking to the makers to prevent cheating. Gambling has always been a very serious matter.

With Dao Ying Nian Hua's command, the crowd let out a roar. This was the most exciting moment for the Cloud City players since they entered this forest at night. In an instant, laughter and cheers rang out. Shui Shen and his brothers who were still lurking in the forest were wondering what these guys were suddenly happy about.

"Another wave of attacks?" Originally, their plan was not to launch consecutive sneak attacks in a short period of time. This might be more lethal, but it was a continuous exposure, making it easy for the opponent to seize the loopholes. These guys were good at this, knowing that delaying the battle and consuming and eroding little by little was the way to go. But at this moment, the opponent's emotions suddenly became excited, and there seemed to be a conspiracy in the air, which made them very uneasy.

In the end, they had internal disagreements. Some people thought that the more this happened, the more they should see the situation clearly before formulating a strategy. Rashly taking action could only create more serious consequences. Others believed that the guys left on the periphery of the opponent were a little uneasy, which was the best time to launch a sneak attack!

Just when the two sides could not reach an agreement and could not come to a conclusion for a while, a cheer broke out in the Cloud City player group. Ten people-based mops had been born.

"Break through to the northwest, arrow formation ready to cover, lurkers and thieves to hold the rear." While everyone was cheering and watching the mop making, Dao Ying Nian Hua had already arranged the breakout matters properly. The first, of course, were the people who manipulated the mops, which had to be berserker class with strength stats. Wu Shi Zhi Jian, as the leader of the group, undoubtedly won a spot and became the captain of the mop team.

Zhan Wu Shang was the most famous warrior in the online game world, and he was currently a strength-based player. He also won an opportunity and was secretly delighted! How often could such an opportunity arise in life?

In addition, Luo Luo Gang's Liu Yue De Yu also won a spot. Although Liu Yue De Yu was not top-notch in terms of equipment, his full-strength stat distribution was rare among warriors. In addition, he borrowed Xi Yao Wu's fire resistance equipment, so Liu Yue De Yu's advantage was beyond doubt.

Fresh tasks always made Liu Yue De Yu full of energy, and the mop in his hand was dancing wildly. The person on the mop received the silent prayers of the players familiar with Liu Yue De Yu, but did not make a sound. When Liu Yue De Yu calmed down and everyone went over to take a look, the person had already fainted. Coincidentally, this person was the priest who had been knocked down by Liu Yue De Yu during the previous selection, and deeply understood the girl's彪悍 (biāo hàn – valiant and tough). When he was assigned to Liu Yue De Yu, he had already fainted from excessive tension. For him, this might not be a bad thing.

The team was quickly organized. At this time, Wu Shi Zhi Jian always had to say a few words. But at this time, he was probably eager to play with the human mop in his hand, so he simply waved his hand and said, "It's finally our turn to attack. Brothers, let's go!"

The tightly united crowd suddenly made way for a gap. The knight players worked quickly, adding the buffs they needed to the mop team members. Then these ten mop warriors rushed out with the push of ten warriors! Following closely behind them was the priest team, and the healing spells had already started as soon as they rushed out. It was important to keep the mops from losing any.

After that, it was Dao Ying Nian Hua's personally led arrow formation. The sharpshooters all had eagle eyes, and no movement in the forest ahead could escape their eyes. In addition, the mages were responsible for guarding the left and right sides. After that were some scattered classes. They were not assigned a clear task in the breakout, but they would be the main force once contact occurred.

And at the end, it was a team composed of some thieves and very few lurkers. Ying Zuka Yuezai commanded his brothers to set up traps in a scattered manner here, hoping to retaliate. More were the sneaking thieves. If the opponent rashly rushed out to pursue, they would undoubtedly be surprised.

Gu Fei and Jian Gui were also assigned to this squad. Jian Gui was a thief, no question, and Gu Fei was because of his ability to kill hundreds with one, Dao Ying Nian Hua thought that having him hold the rear would be very deterrent.

The effect of the human mop was very significant, and the sound of the traps constantly popping up formed a beautiful tune. The players of Lin Yin City were obviously unprepared for the Cloud City players to use such an excessive method, and they had no established plan to crack it. The traps were all triggered by the mop team, and the players behind could unleash their skills without any scruples. The mages generously threw area spells to both sides, regardless of whether there were people or not. Because everyone knew that no one was there, it was just because you couldn't see them. There might be lurking thieves, or there might be mages, lurkers, or other people hiding behind some tree.

The players of Lin Yin City were obviously caught off guard by the large-scale rush of the Cloud City players, and the flaws in their deployment were exposed at this time: they were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and they were even more dispersed because of the encirclement.

When the restraining force of the traps was lost, they could not stop the concentrated outbreak of the Cloud City players head-on.
