The Fourth Calamity

Xuan Mi looked at the training form pasted on the small blackboard and fell into a rigid state.

It wasn't a question of whether it could be done, and he doubted that he would die when it was done.

"What? Are you going to give up before you start?" Feng Zhu faintly floated past.

"I'll do it!" Xuan Mi gritted his teeth.

This kind of forging training method is a process of tearing the original texture of the whole body by exercising the body to the limit, and rough re-forging to make it tougher.

That is to say, it will be very hard. Even if there is a potion that can eliminate worries, very few people can persevere. It is a huge torture and test for the body and mind.

And the first time is often the hardest step to take.

As the physical strength gradually approached the limit, Xuan Mi's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his movements began to lose shape.

"Continue, don't stop, do you think someone like you can beat ghosts? If you can't persist, it's better to leave and find an errand to live an ordinary life."

"I do not want!"

Feng Zhu stared at the side to prevent Xuan Mi from being unable to persevere. From time to time, he said some words that would cause Xuan Mi's rebellious psychology to motivate him.

During the 500th repeated training, Xuan Mi gasped for breath, and even his vision began to blur, and every part of his body wailed, as if he was about to pass out completely in the next moment.

"I haven't reached the limit yet, support me." Feng Zhu crouched in front of him and said coldly.

"...I'm already... almost..." Xuan Mi opened his eyes in vain, but black spots were densely covered in front of his eyes.

It's almost the limit.

Feng Zhu thought for a while: "Xuan Mi, do you know that my troops have a special system?"

"..."

He had no way to respond, and Feng Zhu didn't care, and continued: "That's what my lord and I hope, that is, to match each pillar with a suitable partner."

Xuan Mi's eyes narrowed.

"The reason for pairing Zhu with a partner is that the Zhu may be attacked by the upper string recently. It is too wasteful for two pillars to act together. One long-range and one melee can barely match the upper string, but the strength of the partner is crucial. After all, he wants to form a team with Shangxian." Feng Zhu hinted frantically, "Fengzhu doesn't have a partner yet, and I don't know which lucky person will become his partner."

Xuanya restarted the action with great perseverance.

"Hey~ Thinking about the current combination of Xia Zhu and his twin brother, the brothers will really have a better understanding. They are now the default twin stars in the ghost killing team, and they cooperate invincibly and tacitly."

Xuan Mi's movements became faster and faster, his heart was filled with raging flames!

He wants to prove that he and his elder brother are the most tacit partners in the entire ghost killing team!

10 minute later.

Immortal Chuan Xuanya, rushed to the street.

Feng Zhu rubbed his trembling muscles in satisfaction: "The first step has been completed."

He stood up and looked towards the corner outside the training ground: "Aren't you coming out yet? I can't move your brother, come and help me move him to the tub full of medicine in the back."

Undead Kawa Minami came out with a face full of reluctance, and said stubbornly: "Teacher, he is not my brother."

"Oh, why don't you just put him here? I don't care, but the temperature will drop soon in this kind of weather, and it's easy to catch a cold."

"Tsk." Undead Kawa Minami stepped forward with a black face, and threw his younger brother on his back with a sense of integrity.

"So you came here early in the morning when you heard the news that Xuan Mi was here?" Feng Zhu's gaze fell on his messy skirt and the mud stains on the soles of his shoes, and he clicked his tongue, "Tsundere is tired. "

Undead Chuan blushed, but he didn't say anything, and walked faster.

"So what are you doing here? It's not that you came here to be a villain and want to drive your brother out of the ghost killing team, right?"

"..."

"You really think so?" Feng Zhu was speechless, "Why did your brother offend you?"

"He shouldn't have joined the Demon Slayer Squad!" Undead Kawa Minami was a little excited, and his voice was a little louder. Xuanmi on his back moved, and immediately became as quiet as a chicken, and said in a low voice, "I know his aptitude as well." However, I hope he stays away from danger and lives a normal life. And he doesn't have the talent to become a swordsman at all, and he doesn't have the talent to use a gun either."

"Indeed." Feng Zhu nodded, and said coolly, "But I don't think he will be safe if you let him live the life of an ordinary person. When we start a full-scale war, you are sure Wuyou will let your family go. ?”

Undead Kawa Minya did not speak.

"Even if the lord can hide them, there is a risk of being found after all, and with your brother's personality, even if he is sent away, he will come back 100%. In this case, it is better to let him join the ghost killing team. It’s also much safer for a swordsman. If he teamed up with you, wouldn’t he be able to protect his younger brother himself?”

"Think about Shitou's partner combination, being able to fight side by side with my brother, and being able to protect my brother openly, don't you feel tempted?"

Undead Kawa Minami had no way to refute, what Feng Zhu said was indeed the truth, and he was shamefully thinking about the feasibility.

In the past, even if Zhu had a family member in the Ghost Killing Squad, it was obviously impossible to take care of him right now, but the current team formation rules have changed everything.

Immortal Kawa Minya turned his head slightly, looking at Xuan Milei's fainted face with complicated eyes.

He really saw Xuan Mi's persistence and hard work.

But sure enough...

"I am Zhu, I will not do this kind of thing, and I will not involve Xuan Mi in the battle with Shangxian, unless his strength reaches the standard I recognize."

Feng Zhu thought about these words: "I have begun to mourn for Xuan Mi."

If you want to be Zhu's partner, you must at least become a spearman with a code name. There are two conditions for obtaining the code name. One is to defeat Xiaxian by yourself. After obtaining the code name, you can request to form a team with a Zhu. The other is to find a sword. Form a team of warriors to brush the twelve ghost moons together, and then accept the test of the pillar or the gunman, and if you pass the test, you can both be promoted to the pillar and the code-named gunman.

This brother is obviously not the type to pass the test easily

There is a long way to go, Xuan Mi.

-

"That's why Bushichuan and the brothers are too awkward. Why aren't they as reassuring as Shitou and the others?" Feng Zhu vomited bitterly while playing chess with the lord.

The lord's body has gotten better recently, and the two sat in the corridor, enjoying the Japanese-style landscape of the yard, playing chess, and discussing things by the way.

"Shimi is not very good at expressing emotions because of the previous things, but he is still a good boy by nature. I was still worrying about how to enlighten him, but now I don't have to worry about it." Miyashiki Yoya said softly, without hesitation The chess position of Fengzhu was blocked.

Feng Zhu held the chess piece, quickly calculated the next few moves in his mind, and made a move: "Yes, yes, the Ghost Killing Team is a good boy in your opinion. Let's change the subject, you came to me to talk about that matter Yes."

"Exactly, the permission statement has been issued."

"Oh~" Feng Zhu's eyes lit up, "As expected of the lord."

"It's not all due to me. A certain nobleman suddenly publicly stated his support for us at the meeting." Ubuyashiki raised his eyes and smiled, "I heard it was for your sake."

"My face? How can I have any face among those rules?" Feng Zhu was surprised.

"That nobleman is the one that was attacked by Kamizuru. Didn't you repel him with Hanae Kanae at that time?"

"Oh, him." Feng Zhu remembered with a strange expression on his face, but he quickly took the credit brazenly. Sure enough, good deeds will always be rewarded, and he is such a kind person.

"Now the production line's license has been issued, but on the bright side our Ghost Killing Squad is still not allowed to possess firearms, and we must keep a clear record of the recycling and use of each firearm. The bullets can only produce the improved Sunshine bullets you have shown. "

"Ah, it's a matter of course."

During this period of time, in order to get the production line down as soon as possible, Feng Zhu also spent a lot of effort on bullets and firearms. Of course, it is impossible to take out that kind of thing. In the future, he will still make it himself. The shell of Sunshine Bullet 2.0 is used What is used is the Feifei ore, which is guaranteed to penetrate the ghost's body, but it is an empty shell, which contains an ultraviolet concentration device that is fatal to ghosts, but it has limited lethality to humans.

In this way, the next production line can be approved, and with the production of sealing candles, it is estimated that it is barely enough.

"There is one more condition, the Oni King must be eliminated within three years." Even Ubuyashiki felt that the last condition was too harsh.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence, but that the fate that has been entangled for hundreds of years can really come to an end so soon?

"This condition is the same as not having one." Feng Zhu's nervous expression relaxed, and he refocused on the chessboard, pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the piece landed on the edge.

Ubuyashiki couldn't help raising his eyes, and looked at Feng Zhu through his blurred vision: "Do you really think you can eliminate ghosts within three years?"

"Of course." Feng Zhu never doubted.

No matter what, it is impossible to carry on the main story line for so long. It is less than two years before the protagonist officially joins the Ghost Killing Squad. Generally speaking, half a year is enough for the main storyline tasks.

Give the players three months, and 80.00% of them can reach the full level. Can Zhu run around without a lot of fighting power and survive?

As if drawing confidence from Feng Zhu's firm expression, the lord smiled, all the hesitation in his heart dissipated at this moment, and dropped the last chess piece.

"...I lost." Feng Zhu scratched his hair, "Obviously I counted to ten steps, but I still fall short. I really can't beat you."

"For chess, the important thing is not only the calculation power, but also the control of the timing. I happen to be good at this aspect." Ubuyashiki smiled slightly, "Would you like to play another game?"

"No, no, I can't even beat you in backgammon, so I'd better do what I'm good at." Feng Zhu got up with an aggrieved expression on his face.

On the chessboard, the black and white sides almost fill the entire board, which shows the urgency of the battle.

Well, they played backgammon.

The two loli from the Ubuyashiki family on the side are also playing backgammon on a smaller board, and they are still inseparable.

"Oh, that's right." Before leaving the room of the maternity house, Feng Zhu suddenly remembered something and turned his head, "The financial situation of the Ghost Killing Team is almost tight, right? Is it alright?"

Feng Zhu was talking about the upcoming army of players. It is estimated that there will be thousands of players. With the current financial situation of the Ghost Killing Team, it is definitely unaffordable according to the previous system.

There are not so many crows sending news, bastard, especially how wise the management of the team is, after all, when there are more people, the previous loose system will not be enough.

"I will try my best to find a way in this regard." In fact, Ubuyashiki is also having a headache because of this matter.

Feng Zhu thought for a while, and then showed a mysterious smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I can solve this problem in the near future, wait for the next Zhuhe meeting, I have something good to show everyone."

Ubuyashiki:?

Time passed quickly, and the new year was approaching soon. In the snowy season, the Zhuhe meeting started again.

In the past, when it was snowing, the Zhuhe meeting was held indoors, but this time, the lord rarely informed everyone to hold it outside.

For those who practice breathing all the year round, the low temperature is not so unbearable.

Everyone's clothing has not changed in summer, at most a thin coat has been added.When we gathered together in the courtyard, we were still discussing why we had to come outside specially this time.

"Is the Lord's body able to bear it?" This is a question that the main controllers, such as Sound Zhu, Rock Zhu and Feng Zhu, worry about.

"Hmm! I like snow, it feels so cool and refreshing." Purgatory Xingshourou showed a hearty smile, and Shitou and Die Die, who were beside him, couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their eyes.

Why is it that it is night, but this person is still shining like sunlight, so dazzling.

Oh, by the way, because Toichiro recently killed a certain Shizuru by himself, he also got the code name Yelu, and the gunner who got the code name also needs to participate in the Zhuhe meeting.Note 1

"Yo, everyone is here." Feng Zhu waved his hand happily.

All Zhu looked over, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Unlike the lightly dressed Zhu Zhu, Feng Zhu wrapped himself up in a ball, and even his cold mask looked cute.

"What are you laughing at, don't think that everyone can keep out the cold like you swordsmen, Sato!"

Sato, who was also wrapped into a ball behind him, nodded silently, and he was just a weak sniper.

"But, my brother doesn't need to wear so much." Tokito Muichiro tilted his head and said innocently.

Indeed, Ichiro next to him only had one more coat than the other swordsmen.

Feng Zhu curiously went over to touch Ichiro's hand, and found that he was really not cold.

"Is this the effect of stripes?" He couldn't help muttering.

"What stripes?" Purgatory who was close heard the word.

"Nothing." Feng Zhu immediately shut up.

Now he hasn't figured out how to overcome the side effects of the stripes, so it's better not to talk about the stripes for the time being.

It is said that although Ichiro developed the stripes once, it did not spread among the swordsmen.

Feng Zhu also speculates about this, the first one is naturally that Wuichiro's strength has not yet reached the level of the original book, that is to say, he has not met the conditions to open the pattern.The second is that because of the different fighting styles, he secretly communicated with Ichiro in private. The other party knew about Zebra, but told him that the experience that day rarely happened, and never happened again.

Hmm... It's not very unexpected by Feng Zhu, after all, the spear user is different from the swordsman, and usually the gun user needs to keep absolute calm during the battle.

In short, it is better not to open the stripes for the time being.

Soon, the two balls on the scene became three balls, and the lord was also wrapped in a lot of clothes. Feng Zhu immediately looked at the sound column, and he laughed the loudest just now!Now the lord wears so many clothes, how can I say little brother?

Yin Zhu ignored Feng Zhu's provocative eyes. After everyone saluted the lord, Yin Zhu took the lead to ask: "My lord, why don't you go into the house to discuss in such cold weather? Your health is important."

"It's okay, it'll be over in a while." The lord smiled, "After discussing with Feng Zhu, I think it's better to be more intuitive."

All the pillars were still wondering what it was, and the lolis carrying the lamps behind the lord put out the lights one after another, and the courtyard was completely dark.

then……

All the trees in the courtyard lit up with warm white light, and the whole courtyard was like daytime for a moment.

The largest and brightest in the middle is the pine tree that the candle holders had found, and it is now decorated as a Christmas tree, with several bells and ornaments hanging on it.

"How about it, isn't it beautiful? This is the Christmas tree that Xixi puts up at home during Christmas." Feng Zhu said with a smile.

The pillars looked at everything that was illuminated in surprise. This kind of decoration is not common in Japan today. The beautiful white Christmas tree really shines.

However, the existence of the lamp did not shock the pillars.

Tungsten filament light bulbs have been invented by this time, and a few advanced cities in Japan also have lights.

"As far as this is concerned, it's not necessary to say it specifically." Purgatory Xingshoulang was puzzled.

"Hmph~" Feng Zhu hooked the corners of his mouth, "This is not a simple electric light, but an ultraviolet light that can kill ghosts, just like when I switched on the second string!"

Everyone was still puzzled: "So?"

"Let me tell you, this kind of ultraviolet lamp has been mass-produced, and it will be launched on the market soon." Said Yashiki Yoya with a smile.

A few good-minded pillars reacted, and then went down.

"Y-that is to say..."

"That's right!" Feng Zhu raised his chin. "Ultraviolet light bulbs will enter the market and be fully implemented. Every family in the town will use this kind of light bulb. That means ghosts will be completely expelled from the town sooner or later!"

"hiss--"

All the pillars gasped.

They all know what that means.

Generally speaking, ghosts lurking in towns with a large population are the most difficult to deal with, because not only the actions of the ghost killing team will be restricted in towns, but also it is easy to affect other innocent people when killing ghosts, but since the invention of this light bulb , the town will undoubtedly become the safest place.

Ghosts will be completely expelled from the city, and even from the human world!Even in the middle of the night, human beings have a safe shelter!

"This invention can save countless people." Purgatory Xingshoulang was the first to recover and laughed loudly.

"Great, less and less people will die because of ghosts in the future." Beiming Yu Xingming clasped his hands together, tears streaming down his eyes.

"That's amazing, teacher!" Undead Chuan said excitedly.

"As expected of an instructor." This is Brother Tokito and Sato.

Feng Zhu accepted all the compliments without blushing, with eyes full of 'you can praise a little more'.In the past, the pillars had long complained about him, but today they all spoke nicely, blowing rainbow farts, and Feng Zhu listened very comfortably.

Not in vain did he go out of his way to find cheap substitutes for all the materials!

What is difficult for him is not to invent more black-tech machines, but to find ways to reduce the cost of his invention. To popularize this electric light, he has to replace all the materials that are available in the world, and control the cost. This requires one by one. After trying it, Feng Zhu almost vomited after experimenting these days, and once had a psychological shadow on the electric light.

Fortunately, he was found.

So this wave of rainbow farts is what he deserves (chest out jpg)!

Ubuyashiki and other pillars finished their compliments, and they were encouraging themselves. A group of people were finally satisfied and moved to the meeting place, discussing the future development of the Demon Slayer Squad in the warm room.

The sudden disappearance of the players caused a lot of impact in the team. Fortunately, the protagonist made preparations in advance and suppressed the riot.

"Is there any accurate news about the time when the Chosen Ones will reappear?" Ubashiki asked Feng Candle.

Feng Zhu glanced at it, and it was less than half a year before the public beta, but there must be something wrong with being too accurate, so he opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Maybe there are still a few months, after all, it will take time for other chosen ones to come from Europe, But what is certain is that at least a few thousand people will come this time.”

"Then what about the financial problem?" Umo Tengen asked, "In the past, the wisteria flower caravan provided free board and lodging for our swordsmen, but if there were too many people, it would put a burden on them instead, and most of the chosen ones Disobedience may cause riots."

"This problem has been solved." Ubayashiki glanced at Feng Candle.

Feng Zhu chuckled: "Money can turn ghosts around. We plan to share the patent of this electric light with the wisteria family and the official, and promote it to all parts of Japan this morning."

Their ghost killing team brought so much benefits to Wisteria, so the small problem of the swordsman's board and lodging was naturally out of the question.

"And I hope that Butterfly House can expand its scale. It is best to increase the production of red medicine, and reserve a certain amount in advance, so as not to be difficult to provide when it is available."

Butterfly nodded reluctantly. After spending time together on the inside, she probably also knew the player's habits. She doesn't like medical treatment, but likes to take drugs: "I understand, my sister is already setting up a special medicine shop, which is next to Butterfly House. It will not delay the treatment of the wounded.”

Seeing that the discussion between Feng Zhu and Butterfly Shinobi came to an end, Ubayashiki said: "There is another problem. Mr. Tokikaze submitted a new proposal, hoping to change the final selection method. The new selection method is..."

After the change of the team formation system, the pillars had a little more trust in Fengzhu's proposal, not to mention that the selection this time was more refined and safer than the original rough system, so naturally no one objected.

"Well, if the difficulty is increased so much all of a sudden, maybe the number of people who pass it will drop sharply." Yuhao Tianyuan was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, because the number of chosen ones will increase a lot in a few months, and the battle between us and ghosts is foreseeable to be much more intense. There is no need to let those who dare not fight ghosts join, it will just be lost Life." Feng Zhu said.

"really."

"I agree."

The pillars didn't have any opinions, and the lord made a decision immediately after seeing this: "Then the next final selection will be based on this."

"Then the next one..."

The author has something to say: Note 1: Night heron is a kind of bird that is active at night, with beautiful feathers.
