Five hours later.
Fang Heng brought over 30 players and truckloads of holy water to the fallen hall.
He’s here again?
Pu Shi, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.
Over 30 players gathered in the fallen hall with their carts. The originally quiet fallen hall was a little crowded and noisy.
“Everyone, be quiet!”
Pu Shi looked at Fang Heng and frowned.
Fang Heng!
Yesterday, he had brought more than ten people into the fallen corridor. Now, there were more and more people gathered here.
The fallen corridor had become chaotic ever since Fang Heng came.
What the hell was going on?!
“Teacher Pu Shi.” Li Shaoqiang bowed respectfully to Pu Shi and said, “We have applied to enter the fallen corridor.”
Pu Shi stared at Fang Heng and said, “Fang Heng, behave yourself.”
“Thank you, Teacher. I will.”
Fang Heng and the others entered the fallen corridor under the guidance of the attendant.
An apprentice who was learning from Pu Shi hesitated for a moment before he went forward and whispered, “Teacher, do you need me to follow them to take a look?”
“Is there a need for that?” Pu Shi shook his head and said, “Continue to cultivate!”
…
After entering the fallen corridor, Fang Heng introduced the plan to the players based on the reoptimized plan from last night.
The experienced old men began to lead the confused rookies to start a new round of mobs.
After the optimized plan, farming monsters became even smoother.
Half an hour later, groups of souls were blocked in a corner. They crowded around each other, trying to attack Fang Heng, who was on the inside of the corner.
Due to the terrain, only four elementary souls could attack Fang Heng at the same time.
Relying on the strength of the Book of the Dead, a large number of soul fragments escaped from the elementary souls and were sucked into the Book of the Dead by Fang Heng.
Fang Heng continued to weaken their strength until they could not break free from the binding of the Book of the Dead and were completely captured.
And so on and so forth.
On the side, Tan Shuo was taking notes.
He was rather envious.
Soul fragments were a kind of tonic that could slightly replenish mental strength. There were unproven studies that said it could also slightly increase soul strength.
Tan Shuo watched as Fang Heng switched between the Book of the Dead and sealed the soul body.
In just half an hour, he had completed six books.
Eh?
There were already six books today.
Tan Shuo frowned slightly and went back to examine the record book again.
“Li Shaoqiang, do you feel that today is a little strange?”
“Strange? What’s strange?”
“The efficiency of the soul being lured over has increased.”
Huh?
Li Shaoqiang had a puzzled look on his face, indicating that he did not understand.
Tan Shuo gestured at the record book in his hand. “Come and take a look.”
Oh…
Li Shaoqiang leaned his head over and looked at the performance record book that Tan Shuo had recorded.
Indeed, the speed at which that group of players was luring the elementary souls had increased by more than double.
This was a good thing!
The speed at which they were attracting the souls had increased, and so had the speed at which they were capturing souls. The speed at which they were making money had also increased, hadn’t it?
Wasn’t this a great thing?
Li Shaoqiang revealed a happy expression and said, “Isn’t that good? That means that the players’ fighting spirit is high and their efficiency has increased.”
“Is that so?”
Raising their heads, the two of them simultaneously looked at the group of players who were running while panting.
Tan Shuo shook his head. “It doesn’t look like it.”
“Uh… What else could it be?”
“I feel that the speed at which elementary souls appear has increased.”
Li Shaoqiang was startled and frowned.
Tan Shuo was a little worried.
The entire Necromancer Association’s arena was built on the death realm crevice.
The fallen corridor was also a part of the seal. If something went wrong, it might even affect the death realm crevice.
“Is there a problem?”
“It’s not that serious. It’s just a dynamic increase in the rate at which the soul body is produced.” Li Shaoqiang shrugged. He did not pay much attention to this strange fact, “The fallen corridor is so important, and there are so many pairs of eyes watching this place. The instructors are watching this place 24 hours a day. How could there be a problem?”
“You’re right. Maybe I’m overthinking things.”
Fang Heng also realized that the number of soul bodies that had been lured over today was particularly high.
He did not think too much about it. He thought that it was because of the increase in the number of players hired, so he focused on capturing the souls.
The monster farming lasted for more than two hours.
Fang Heng only stopped when the last Book of the Dead was filled.
A Book of the Dead could capture a large number of souls, but if there were more than 10 of them, it would negatively affect the success rate of the subsequent packaging and other operations.
There was a limited number of Books of the Dead. Fang Heng took one and sealed a total of 20 of them.
There were two carts full of Books of the Dead.
“Thank you for your help, that’s all for today. Tomorrow at 12 o’clock, we will continue to issue the commission. Those who are interested can go to the commission center to register.”
Fang Heng was extremely satisfied.
At this rate, the negative effects of the remnant page would probably be over by tomorrow. They would be able to withdraw their funds and enter a profitable state.
If they were to be greedy again, they could increase their investment, buy more Books of the Dead, and speed up the soul packaging by the zombie clones…
“Boss, as a partner, I have a proposal.”
Li Shao was full of energy as he walked to Fang Heng’s side.
“Yes, go ahead.”
Fang Heng felt that his partner’s suggestion was worth listening to.
“I think that the efficiency of farming soul bodies is still too slow. Why don’t we just set up a few tents here?”
“What?”
“Set up tents and find an empty space to build a temporary resting area. Elementary souls are easy to deal with. A small defensive formation at the periphery of the temporary resting area will do. When that time comes, the player who was entrusted with the task will be able to rest in the tents to recover their strength when they’re tired. It’s all for the sake of earning points. We, as necromancy apprentices, can endure this little bit of hardship…”
“Bring more compressed biscuits over. After all, we’re all necromancy apprentices. Even if we can only fill a bit of our stomachs, we won’t starve to death. It’s the right way to seize the time and make more money.”
This…
Fang Heng was stunned when he heard Li Shaoqiang’s plan.
He thought, “Good heavens! No capitalist can play like you!”
Seeing that Fang Heng didn’t speak for a long time, Li Shaoqiang was a little nervous. He asked, “Fang Heng, what do you think of this idea of mine?”
“Li Shaoqiang, I think you’re really a genius! Your idea is too creative!”
Li Shaoqiang was delighted. “Can it work?”
“Of course, it can! It can definitely work! It has to work!”
Fang Heng put his hand on Li Shaoqiang’s shoulder enthusiastically, “We have to think it over, get more military tents or something. It’s best if we can think of a way to get a batch of soul candles in. Each entry is only 24 hours, and we have to spend some contribution points. It’s too much of a loss. It’s a waste of time to go back and forth…”
“Yes, yes, yes, I think so too… the efficiency can still be improved…”
Li Shaoqiang was even more excited. He felt that his frequency was completely in line with Fang Heng!
“That’s so right, Brother! If we decide to do this, we’ll find someone to get tents and rations. I guarantee that the group of apprentices will be able to eat and drink well, and help us earn money with peace of mind.”
Tan Shuo looked at the two people who were whispering with their arms around each other’s shoulders and sighed heavily.
If they do this… would they be chased out of the fallen corridor by Teacher Pu Shi?
