Chapter 7: This Understanding Is Invincible!

Link, the mercenary's T-shirt, was not spared either.

The heart-pierced mercenary T-shirt has been soaked with blood, and its true colors cannot be seen.

Link cut another T-shirt into strips and stuffed it into Forbes' backpack, except for the arm bandage.

"It takes at least 100 kilometers to cross the Gobi from here. All resources must be saved."

Link counted the food in his backpack. He ate compressed biscuits, energy bars, and a big chunk of beef. The daily ration was enough to last them until they arrived in Sandu. However, in terms of water resources, only a bucket of two liters of pure water is not enough.

Link thought back and pointed to the northwest: "Let's go northwest!"

Forbes was a little puzzled: "Boss, isn't the sand in the north, why do we have to go northwest, isn't this a detour?"

"The Mechanic Sect needs a lot of water to smelt metal, but the Gobi lacks water resources the most, so they dug a canal from the western end of the mainland to the Mechanic City. We go northwest, although the distance is a little longer, but we can replenish water resources."

"Ah? We still have to go to Mechanic City? Will we meet someone from the Mechanic Sect? I don't want to be caught as a human flesh battery."

"We just took a detour to get water. Although there are mechanical soldiers patrolling the canal along the way, as long as we are careful, we will not encounter it. You have to trust our little guide."

The Treasure Rat has his hands on his hips, his head held high, and metal detection is his specialty, this fat black man dares to question it!

Forbes quickly bowed his head and apologized. After knowing the details of the deaths of the two mercenaries, he was in awe of the treasure hunter.

The wound was bandaged, the spoils were divided, the supplies were counted, the route was set, and the new player Forbes joined the team.

Link considered it for a while and decided to synthesize another pet before leaving.

The monster synthesis module is quite easy to use, and the Treasure Rat played a significant role in the battle just now. If there are more such pets, the safety on the escape route will be greatly increased.

Just as Link was thinking about what materials to use for the second pet, several system prompts interrupted his thoughts.

[You triggered the C-level mission [Prey targeted by the wasteland], the survival mission cannot be refused]

[Quest tip: The Wasteland Gang, which must be reported by Jairus, has remembered your appearance. As the 'only' survivor who escaped from the quicksand of the underground palace, the Wasteland Gang is eager to learn the truth and secrets of the incident from you. You are now marked as prey and wanted for a bounty, always be careful! ]

[Task time: April 13th, 42nd year of the wasteland calendar - December 31st, 42nd year of the wasteland calendar]

[Task reward: dynamic reward based on evaluation]

"C-level mission, survival mission?"

Link was stunned after reading the content, this is the Wasteland Gang starting to fix him!

Survival missions are the terms of the 'upper-level' system, and this type of mission has another name in the player's mouth-chasing and killing missions.

Mission requirements are often only one point, to survive within the specified time.

Because players usually have other things to do in addition to doing tasks, but as long as the pursuit task is triggered, it is basically impossible to do anything. As long as you are online, the enemy will appear anytime and anywhere, making you overwhelmed, and you may be killed if you are not careful, resulting in the failure of the mission.

And the task reward is also very tasteless, it will be evaluated according to the number of enemies you deal with within the specified time, and points will be given according to the evaluation.

There is a bit of speechlessness here. If the strength is strong enough to deal with all the enemies, then simply go to the door and kick the pavilion to sweep the forces, and the benefits are much greater than this.

If the strength is not strong, it will be exhausted by the enemy's pursuit, and it is easy to be killed, and there is no profit at all.

In addition, the task cannot be refused, whether it is a public beta or a few years after the game is operated, it is a task that gives players a headache.

"I wanted to throw the pot to the Mechanic God,

There's no way to look at it like that! The eight-month arrest warrant is a bloodbath. "

Originally, Link thought it would be safe to escape to Sandu, but he didn't expect the Wasteland Gang to issue a wanted order, and it was difficult to deal with it.

Now Link was even more sure of the idea of ​​preparing a few more helpers.

The most urgent task at the moment is to cross the Gobi. The most important element in the Gobi is sand. Maybe we can make a fuss from this aspect.

"A'Fu, can you bring me some sand?"

Forbes had his bags on his back and was ready to hit the road. This sudden request caught him off guard.

"Boss, aren't we going to the Northwest Canal, what do we suddenly want sand for?"

Link patted Forbes on the shoulder and said, "Go and get some back, it can save your life!"

Hearing the word 'life-saving', Forbes stopped asking, and immediately put down his backpack and ran to the sand to catch the sand.

Link patted his belly again, and said to the treasure-hunting mouse huddled in the empty pocket of the gun belt, "Xiaobao, can you help me find another mouse of the same type?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a creaking sound from under Link's linen clothes, and the treasure hunter jumped from the gun belt to the ground and ran into the ruins.

This time Link is going to synthesize a new creature out of sand and mice.

After all, the Gobi is full of sand all the way. If there is a mouse with the sand attribute, it would be more appropriate.

What's more, in the current environment of city ruins, what else does Link have to do?

After a while, Ah Fu ran back holding a handful of sand, his big white teeth smiling brightly.

"Boss, the sand is back!"

At the same moment, the Treasure Mouse ran back from the ruins with a mouse.

The treasure-hunting mouse, who was familiar with the road, led the way in front, but the mouse behind it, stopped three times in one step, hesitating, and a pair of small eyes flashed with panic.

Link's preparation for a second pet wasn't a whim either.

10 points of blood were deducted from being scratched by a bullet, 10 points of blood were deducted from the synthetic treasure hunter, and another 3 points were consumed by the abnormal state of [Bleeding], and now he only has 17 points of blood.

Killing 4 wasteland mercenaries gives 800 experience points, enough for him to level up to level 2.

In Destiny, as long as you don't level up in battle or under abnormal conditions, you can restore your blood and energy to full at one time.

In order to maximize the value, Link plans to synthesize another pet and upgrade it, which is equivalent to saving 10 blood.

Mofa, the children of poor families are in charge early.

Link's meticulous planning is imprinted in his bones.

Link stretched out his hand, and the treasure-hunting mouse also climbed on Link's shoulder, calling for the vigilant little mouse together.

He grabbed the mouse with his left hand, and gestured to Ah Fu with his right hand to pour the sand on his hand.

Forbes didn't understand what Link was going to do, but he complied, pouring the sand into his hands.

[You get 80g grit]

Link entered the [Synthesis] interface. To be honest, he didn't have much hope for this synthesis.

The main gravel is white quality, and the white quality mouse is no better than the treasure hunter. He mainly focuses on the functionality in the Gobi environment.

Link is also the first time to get the golden finger of the Zerg worm nest fragment. Only by synthesizing and exploring more can he master the trick.

Rat (adult) + grit (80g) = ? (65% success rate)

[Synthesis will consume 10 points of health, whether to synthesize? whether]

Link frowned slightly, the success rate this time was a bit low!

65% success rate, only 10 points of blood, no matter how you look at it, it's not a loss.

synthesis!

The gravel in the left hand was gradually absorbed by the palm, and the palm of the right hand produced sticky blood threads that gradually wrapped the struggling mouse, forming a palm-sized blood cocoon.

[Countdown to blood cocoon hatching: 20 seconds. ]

Ah Fu, who was eating melons on the side, almost dropped his chin. He poured the sand on Link's hands with his own hands, and now he watched the sand disappear, and the living mice formed blood cocoons, looking unspeakably eerie.

"Boss, you, are you... a power user?"

Link's attention was focused on the blood cocoon, and the golden finger was really inconvenient to explain, so he responded, "Well, that's it!"

A Fu was surprised and suddenly realized, no wonder the boss can order the treasure mouse to kill two mercenaries.

It turned out to be a superpower!

That explains it.

A'Fu's eyes gradually became firmer, and he must take good care of the boss along the way, and follow him when he leaves the Gobi.

Following the power user to eat and drink spicy food, this is the consensus that almost everyone in their tribe agrees with.

Twenty seconds passed in an instant, and the blood cocoon in Link's hand was torn apart by a pair of small claws.

There was sand flowing out of the blood cocoon through the gap, and a pink mouse curiously stuck out its head and observed the surrounding things.

[The monster is synthesized, and the white quality is obtained - gerbil! ]

【Monster Attributes】

Name: gerbil (juvenile)

Quality: white

Race: Rodent

Attribute: Sand element affinity

Grade 1

Initial Skill 1: Sandification lv1 (The unique ability of gerbils, the body is completely deserted, and the duration is 1 minute.)

Initial Skill 2: Desert Affinity - Passive (In the desert, the movement speed is increased by 30%.)

Evaluation: The king mouse in the desert, perfectly integrated into the desert, elusive, good at speed and hiding. It should be noted that due to the certain incompatibility of biological and synthetic material components, unknown problems may be induced.

————

Link's eyes glowed with joy after reading the data. This was a creature specially synthesized for crossing the Gobi desert, and it also gave him a new understanding of the [synthesis] function.

Although the gerbil is only a white pet, it unexpectedly possesses two initial skills.

With the blessing of these two abilities, this little guy can walk sideways in the desert Gobi.

In addition, the incompatibility between organisms and materials is written in the evaluation, which may induce some effects.

Although he didn't know what would be the problem, Link finally knew another meaning of the success rate behind the preview of the synthesis formula.

The success rate also means the affinity of organisms and materials.

The gerbil stood on Link's hand and looked around, curious about the whole world.

Link couldn't wait to turn around and walk towards the desert, trying to test the skills and speed of the gerbil.

"A'Fu, keep up with something!"

Ah Fu watched with his own eyes a pink and tender mouse was born from a blood cocoon, with his mouth wide open and stunned.

He packed his bags and quickly followed Link, with a lot of doubts in his head.

"Boss, why are we going back?"

"Go to the edge of the desert and test the abilities of gerbils."

"This little thing is called a gerbil?"

Link nodded. The advantage of having someone around is that you can share joy anytime, anywhere.

"Gerbils move very fast in the desert, and they can also turn into sand, and they are like a duck to water after entering the desert!"

Ah Fu's eyes widened, it was hard to imagine that such a little mouse had such a powerful ability. I also understood the reason why the boss asked him to grab a handful of sand just now.

"But boss, the gerbils are still so small. If they are put into the desert for experiments, will they get lost?"

Link waved his hand confidently: "Impossible!"

With a special blood bond, how could it be lost?

Link and Alfred all the way back to the outskirts of the city ruins that had been eroded by the desert.

Link squatted down, put his palm on the sand and said, "Gerbil, let me see your strength!"

The gerbil understood the command of the master Link, and looked back at him curiously.

A pair of innocent little eyes met with expectant eyes, and the gerbil chirped a few times before jumping on the sand tentatively.

As soon as the little paw touched the desert, the eyes of the gerbil suddenly glowed, as if it had discovered a new continent, and walked in the desert excitedly.

At first, he walked tentatively, and then he simply ran away.

Link and Ah Fu were dizzying to see. The gerbil was moving very fast, and the hair on its body was the same color as the desert, and it almost turned into an afterimage.

"The boss is amazing, the movement speed is too fast! Congratulations to the boss, Hexi, for getting such a powerful pet."

A Fu's ability to help cook in the wasteland does not depend on craftsmanship, but on the two brushes in his mouth.

The corners of Link's mouth raised. Although the 30% speed seems to be a small improvement, in fact, this speed is a bit too fast! Cooperate with him in Gobi, the effect is even better!

"Use the desertification skill!" Link used his mind to command the gerbil.

In the next second, the gerbil's body suddenly turned into a puddle of sand and quickly merged with the desert.

The only thing that can be seen is a flowing mass of sand in the desert, dragging a clear trajectory of action as it moves.

After that, Link saw a small hole in the desert, and he couldn't see any traces after that.

"This skill is a bit powerful, and the effect is comparable to stealth!"

Link really didn't expect the gerbil's body to completely decompose the desertification, and even disappeared after burrowing into the desert.

This ability is too powerful in certain circumstances.

Now, you won't be afraid to meet Mechanicus soldiers in the Gobi!

"Gerbil, come back!"

Link shouted, waiting for the gerbil to return.

The sound drifted in the empty desert, but Link couldn't see any traces of the sand moving on the surface.

"It's amazing, it's completely invisible, it's like being invisible!" Ah Fu exclaimed from the side.

Link is quite complacent, his brain hole and understanding of synthesis are at the top level!

Theory and practice are invincible!

It's just that Link waited for more than ten seconds, but still no gerbil came back.

"Gerbils! Stop having fun, come back soon!"

Link shouted again, and then tried to sense the position of the gerbil, but only sensed the position of the treasure hunter on his shoulder, and couldn't find the gerbil at all.

∑(O_O;) cluck!

Link suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although he didn't know the sensing distance, he couldn't sense it at all, so he panicked...

"Gerbils!"

"Gerbils?"

"Gerbil—"

"The gerbil..."

"Sand...rat..."

"...sand...rat..."
