Chapter 46 Obtaining the Duck Head Megaphone
Chapter 46 Obtaining the Duck Head Megaphone
Wang Jue arrived at the foot of half of the city wall.
A large group of beggars squatted or sat by the wall, occasionally reciting lines, listless and lazy, like a pile of salted fish.
"These beggars are affecting the image of our area..."
Wang Jue muttered something to himself, then saw the ancestral giant cat, Run Fast, toying with a Bloodskull scout dog, like a cat playing with a mouse, scratching it with its claws one moment, and carrying it with its mouth the next, letting it run away, and then catching it again...
"That big cat really knows how to have fun!"
Wang Jue knew that the ancestral giant cat was fast, so he wasn't surprised.
He slowly climbed the city wall. All the fighters were on the wall, except for the murloc chieftain Sharion.
Bafang Bubai remained as fierce as ever, wielding a throwing knife and a fire duck. Zhenguo General Wang Jianglong also continuously unleashed his Dragon Subduing Seal, which had penetrating power, reaching a hundred meters and striking in a line, making it a group attack skill.
However, Wang Jue noticed that Wang Jianglong's attack frequency had decreased, and he seemed a little tired.
The signs of exhaustion were even more pronounced among Mad Dog King and his group.
And then there's Audron. He's sitting on the wall right now, not swinging his sword for ages. Maybe he's not tired, but most likely he's just bored.
After all, the duck-slaughtering competition has been going on for over 11 hours, and most people would have given up long ago.
The mysterious scarecrow, however, stood upright, its four tentacles lashing incessantly, steadily reaping the lives of the fallen fire ducks.
Wang Jue stepped forward, only to find that Bandehu had his eyes closed and was even snoring!
"This silly boy is asleep!"
Wang Jue shook his head and smiled. He took out the Life Berries and gave one to each of the soldiers and generals on the city wall, except for Sharlion who was showing off his muscles and Bandhu who was sleeping. He also gave one to Odron.
The effects of the Life Berry were immediate; the soldiers and warriors instantly regained their strength, and their duck-killing efficiency slightly improved.
Audron couldn't bear to eat the Life Berry. He looked at Wang Jue with envy and said, "Brother, your outfit is so cool! I see you've built another palace. It's really magnificent. I wonder what kind of building it is?"
"It's just a bookstore; you can go and browse some books when you have time!"
Wang Jue said that he had a fairly good impression of Audron. This guy had been killing ducks all the time, and he was patient and not as arrogant or reckless as other adventurer players. If given the opportunity, it was not impossible for him to become a master.
It's worth mentioning that Odron already has a skill called Thunder Blade. This skill seems to add a thunderous attack to the weapon. Odron doesn't use it much, but each time he does, it's quite impressive, with lightning crackling and arcing off the weapon. However, using it to fight the Fallen Fire Duck seems like a waste.
A moment later, Wang Jue went to inspect the territory. After a round of inspection, he picked up a total of two [Blood Prison Maps].
"I've been in seclusion writing for eight hours straight, and I don't even know how many Blood Prison deserters have appeared in my territory, but I've only gotten two Blood Prison Maps! The drop rate for Blood Prison Maps is ridiculously low..."
Wang Juexin had an epiphany and his evaluation of the [Blood Prison Map] improved somewhat.
Next, Wang Jue returned to the city wall, took out the Blood Prison Greatsword, and slashed at the fire ducks to stretch his limbs and relax his mind.
Less than ten minutes into the battle, a system announcement sounded: "Ding, please note that a strange fire duck [Fire Duck Committee Member] has appeared in the south of the territory. Defeating it will reward you with a low-level recruitment voucher."
"Finally, another alien species has arrived!"
Wang Jue quickly looked to the south and soon saw a fat fire duck with flames coming out of its head.
This turkey duck is about the size of a small car, short and chubby, only about 1.67 meters tall, and when it runs, it looks like a ball of cotton candy.
However, it carried quite a few odds and ends. As it got closer, Wang Jue saw that it was wearing glasses, had a whistle around its neck, bells on its ankles, a large duck-head horn on its waist, a large wooden box on its back, a small box on its right arm, and a cloth bag slung across its shoulder. It was in a hurry, as if it were fleeing a disaster.
"What a fat duck! Does it only drop low-level recruitment vouchers when it dies?" Wang Jue pointed at the Fire Duck Committee member below and shouted, "Invincible Eight Directions, General Wang, cripple it, don't kill it!"
"A dark and windy night, the timing is perfect!"
"Strong medicine for serious illnesses!"
The two top experts responded immediately and then used their moves. The Fire Duck Committee member below immediately suffered, being beaten up and down, squawking loudly.
The ancestral giant cat, being fast, would catch up, patting and scratching at the cat, playing around with it.
Wang Jue was worried that Committee Member Huoya would be beaten to death, so he ordered Bafang Bubai and Wang Jianglong to stop. Then he went down and pulled away [the Ancestral Giant Cat Runs Fast].
By this time, Committee Member Fire Duck had been thoroughly exhausted, lying sprawled on the ground with its rear end in the air, wings spread flat, and chin touching the ground, looking like a lump of mud.
"Beggars, what are you waiting for? Come and beg!"
Wang Jue shouted, and a group of beggars who were squatting by the wall rushed forward and kowtowed to Committee Member Huoya, begging for alms.
In less than half a minute, the Fire Duck Committee member jumped up energetically. It took off its black-rimmed glasses, threw them to an old beggar, and then lay down again, spreading its wings, pressing its chin to the ground, and sticking its rear end up like a lump of mud.
Half a minute later, it jumped up again, this time tossing the large duck-head megaphone clipped to its waist to a little beggar...
A minute later, Committee Member Fire Duck jumped up for the third time, this time throwing out the cloth bag slung across his shoulder.
Ten minutes later, all the odds and ends on the Fire Duck Committee member's body were gone, and this time it lay on the ground, refusing to move.
"Everything was given away as alms?"
Wang Jue was still not at ease, so he let the beggars beg for another five minutes. Only when he saw that the Fire Duck Committee member was truly motionless did he feel relieved and let the old beggars go forward and beat it to death with sticks.
After the Fire Duck Committee member vanished in a flash of light, three low-level recruitment vouchers dropped down.
Colonel Fire Duck also dropped low-level recruitment tickets, ten of them at the time. These low-level recruitment tickets could be used by selecting a barracks and could recruit units of up to three stars for free.
Wang Jue thought that it would be more worthwhile to use the recruitment coupon to recruit three-star troops, and it would be a waste to use it to recruit one-star beggars or old beggars, so he put it away for now.
As for the items donated by Committee Member Huoya, they were all piled up in front of Wang Jue: a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a lanyard whistle, a string of lanyard bells, a large duck-head megaphone, a suitcase, a square wooden box, and a cloth bag.
Among them, only the duck-head megaphone is a functional item; the others are ordinary items without attribute information.
【Duck Head Megaphone: Unlimited power megaphone, usable for area announcements, effective within a one-mile radius.】
"Another cutting-edge technological product!"
Wang Jue picked up the duck-head megaphone, studied it briefly, and was just about to try using it for regional announcements when suddenly another system broadcast sounded.
"Ding, Regional Announcement: The Duck-Killing Contest has been running for 715 minutes. Event merchants have appeared in all player territories. The event merchants will be available for five minutes. Players can use their duck-killing points to make interactive purchases. The leaderboard data will be updated in five minutes..."
"The event merchant is coming again. Will they still be selling recruitment tickets and small soul stones this time?"
Wang Jue was overjoyed. He quickly tidied up the items in front of him and rushed to the Jade Wall. When he looked up, the merchant had indeed appeared.
