Chapter 2171: A slightly different level from the previous ones!
The scholar was not surprised by this. He was quite familiar with the situation here and knew exactly how strong the restrictions on death reset were.
"Please wait a moment, I'll make the arrangements."
Lin Tianhao entered Sweet Town. With the experience from the previous times, dealing with the troubles in Sweet Town became easier for him.
and.
Because Lin Tianhao had made contact with the scholar, he could get the scholar to help distribute some fruits that hadn't been affected by the gray fog.
This number won't be too large, but it's enough to maintain the basic needs of these townspeople.
at the same time.
Lin Tianhao also created a map, marking the locations of the fruit trees near Sweet Town.
After marking the trees, Lin Tianhao and the scholar began to work on them, hunting monsters and replicating their actions in Fengyue Town.
In just one month, Lin Tianhao dispelled the haze from eight fruit trees around Sweet Town.
Then, the townspeople whose physiques had been enhanced were sent to guard the monsters, constantly destroying their corpses to keep the area around the fruit trees free of gray mist.
As the townspeople's strength increased, what used to require twenty people to guard a single fruit tree now only requires ten, or even five.
However, Lin Tianhao stopped after reaching five people, because five people was already the limit.
If the number of people is further reduced, it is indeed possible to maintain the balance of destroying monster corpses.
However, other monsters also exist within the gray fog, and it would be extremely dangerous if they were to launch a surprise attack at this time.
therefore.
Five people is the minimum requirement. Unless these townspeople will be able to deal with several undead monsters at the same time by themselves in the future, five people is the minimum requirement.
Subsequently.
Lin Tianhao and the scholar began to expand, increasing the number of fruit trees they controlled from ten to about twenty-five.
As for further expansion, that's more complicated.
It's not a problem of not having enough manpower, but rather that if they continue to expand, they will be further and further away from the town.
Lin Tianhao's current strength is not enough to link these fruit trees together.
Blind expansion is not advisable, a point that Lin Tianhao and the scholar have always agreed on.
Although they are not blindly expanding now, Lin Tianhao and the scholar have not stopped their actions.
According to the scholar, there must be more than just the two of them in this level.
They can team up with other players, utilizing each other's abilities to achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.
Lin Tianhao agreed with the scholar's idea, so his first thought was of women in casual clothes.
The woman in casual wear has the ability to evolve. If we give her a fruit that hasn't been corrupted by the gray fog to evolve, would there be any unexpected results?
and.
When Lin Tianhao met the woman in casual clothes before, she mentioned that the distance between towns was at least one hundred kilometers.
This means that women in casual wear know information that others don't, and may have even come into contact with more than one town.
Thinking like this.
Lin Tianhao led the scholar to the town where the woman in casual clothes lived.
just.
Lin Tianhao had just arrived when he saw an internal conflict erupting in the town of the woman in casual clothes. The woman in casual clothes stood outside the town, coldly watching the whole thing unfold.
She didn't go out to stop it, seemingly prepared to give up and wait for the reset.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Lin Tianhao, the mayor of Sweet Town."
Lin Tianhao led the scholar out.
The scholar smiled and said:
"Zhuge Lingyuan, Mayor of Fengyue Town."
The woman in casual clothes stared at Lin Tianhao for a while. She had seen Lin Tianhao before and had some impression of him.
"I told you, I don't want to cooperate with anyone. You can leave now."
The woman in casual clothes didn't even question Lin Tianhao and Zhuge Lingyuan's identities this time, directly denying that they were Lin Tianhao and Zhuge Lingyuan.
Zhuge Lingyuan stepped forward, bowed, and said:
"Young lady, we have learned some very useful things, and we are seeking your cooperation in order to better pass the test."
Hear this.
The woman in casual clothes shook her head and said:
"I've already said I won't cooperate. If you insist on doing this, then it's a fight to the death. Either I keep resetting, or I drag you all down with me."
Lin Tianhao frowned and asked:
"Can you tell me why you're so resistant to cooperation? Is it because someone else has betrayed you?"
The woman in casual clothes sneered, "You don't need to know. Besides, I'd like to give you a piece of advice: trying to cooperate to get through this will only lead you into an abyss of no return."
"This level is quite different from the previous ones."
Lin Tianhao frowned. "Do you know the locations of the other towns?"
The woman in casual clothes smiled playfully and said:
"I know, and I know more than one, but I have no reason to tell you, and I advise you to give up the idea of cooperation."
Lin Tianhao and Zhuge Lingyuan exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.
"Could cooperating trigger some mechanism that would prevent us from clearing the level?" Lin Tianhao asked.
The woman in casual clothes smiled noncommittally and said:
"Alright, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I'm resetting now. Goodbye."
As the woman in casual clothes finished speaking, she was immediately reset back to her small town.
After the woman in casual clothes reset, she turned to look in the direction where Lin Tianhao and Zhuge Lingyuan were, before heading towards her own town.
"Scholar, why do you think she said that?" Lin Tianhao asked.
Zhuge Lingyuan pondered for a moment before slowly saying:
"There are three possibilities. The first is that she has worked with other people before and was badly taken advantage of, so she is very reluctant to work with others."
"However, I think the probability of that is extremely low."
Zhuge Lingyuan continued calmly:
"As for the second one, it's the mechanism. The mechanism at this stage is that we can't cooperate. We are currently in a cooperative relationship and haven't encountered any problems yet. The probability of this still exists, but it's not very high."
"Third, and I think the most likely point is... what she just said, this level is different from the previous ones."
"What exactly is different? Her refusal to cooperate is very likely because, as she said, this hurdle is different from the previous ones."
Lin Tianhao nodded slightly; Zhuge Lingyuan's analysis was pretty much the same as what he had thought.
"She previously revealed that each town is at least 100 kilometers apart, which means she must have some information that we don't know."
"I suspect there must be other towns nearby."
