Chapter 180: A True Single-Player Race in the Creeping City
On the video website, Lin Zhengqiu saw the king-level video of the giant monkey racing in the Wriggling City.
This video was on the hot list, and within just half a day of being released, it had already received 50 hits.
The big monkey in the video is wearing 4+3, which means 4 pieces of rage CD items and 3 pieces of ultimate recklessness.
The remaining two parts, the necklace is Perrus and the weapon is the Shadowless Sword.
His street strength is far behind Lin Zhengqiu's, mainly because of the difference in the amplification level of his equipment.
The big monkey is still a little far from having a street strength of over 1,000, but that does not hinder his outstanding personal skills.
This video was recorded after he obtained the siege buff.
This is normal. Ever since Lin Zhengqiu started it, all racing videos must include siege buffs.
Therefore, this actually raises the requirements for racing players significantly.
After all, the siege buff doesn't last long, only 1 hour.
In the past, when there were no monsters attacking cities, speedrunners could record a whole day of speedrunning videos and then pick the fastest one to post.
Now that we have the siege buff, we have to record a satisfactory video within this hour, otherwise we have to wait until next time.
Moreover, the game is very laggy during the monster siege and a bit laggy after the siege, especially after the Valley of Counterattack dungeon.
It is not easy to record a satisfactory video in such a short time.
Lin Zhengqiu turned his gaze to the video of the giant macaque again.
Since they were playing at the King level, four of them entered the map, and then two of them retreated immediately, leaving a nanny to act as the socket.
This nanny wearing Tian Er's uniform was obviously very professional. He was stabbed by the dragon man's harpoon when he entered the map, giving the big monkey the opportunity to attack.
It is indeed most appropriate for the nanny to be the socket in this map, after all, he has the skill of purification to remove the curse.
The two of them cooperated very well. After the nurse was stabbed by the dragon man's harpoon 5 times, they successfully passed the first map.
It takes about 1 minute and 1 seconds for a giant monkey to complete one map.
This speed is considered exaggerated. An ordinary team of four usually takes at least two to three minutes to complete a map.
After passing the first map, the nanny gave the big monkey a weapon blessing before returning to the city.
The next few pictures were solved by the giant monkey alone.
Being experienced, he did not make any mistakes when dealing with the puppet in Figure 2.
Infinite rage plays an important role here.
When he attacked one of the puppeteers with anger, the other three puppeteers were using skills from a little further away.
Although he will suffer some damage in this way, the impact will not be significant.
Sometimes when several puppeteers gathered together, he would use his head to separate the monsters.
This took about 40 seconds to complete the two pictures.
He painted the real and fake lizard in Picture 3 relatively quickly, taking only more than 20 seconds.
In Map 4, he was very adept at killing several monsters at the same time and it took him a relatively short time.
Map 5 was passed even faster. After controlling the monster, he used infinite rage, which made the elite monster Mognis stay in the air the whole time and couldn't fall down. It only took him more than 10 seconds to pass it.
Finally, there is the boss room.
The ditch princess he summoned played a significant role. As soon as he entered the map, he used a dragnet to catch the boss and imprisoned him.
Then infinite rage was used as the main output skill, and the boss was killed in less than 1 minute.
In the end, his clearance time was 4 minutes 20 seconds 20.
This is indeed much faster than Lin Zhengqiu's previous record.
After watching this video, Lin Zhengqiu couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
The big monkey is indeed a professional map-clearing warrior, and it is understandable that the number of views of his video is so high.
This video even looks relaxing.
He watched the video again before opening the comments section:
Oh my god! The Berserker is standing up! This is the fastest video of single player racing in Creeping City!
Following Brother Regret’s sword spirit’s infinite sword slashing, the big monkey came up with infinite anger!
Equipment from other worlds is still good, as it can directly make a single skill become a god!
4 minutes and 20 seconds! This speed is too fast, much faster than Regret Brother.
Racing is finally no longer dominated by Sanda and Sword Soul. The big monkey is so awesome!
Colorless is burning! This is the real local tyrants' way of playing, an average of 1 colorless per second, ordinary players can't bear it, haha.
The last time Brother Regret made a video about pioneering the new game, and now Brother Regret’s strength when standing on the street has exceeded 1,000, so breaking the record of the Big Monkey should be no problem.
Didn't you realize that the damage in Creeping City isn't the most important thing? This map requires more skill.
The map-clearing skills of the Big Monkey are indeed something that many rich and powerful warriors cannot learn. It's a pity that Brother may not be as fast as him!
Brothers, go find Brother Regret and see if he can break the record of the big monkey.
Seeing that many people mentioned him in the comment section, Lin Zhengqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Indeed, many people behind him sent him private messages, asking him to break the record of the big monkey.
Lin Zhengqiu closed the webpage and returned to the game.
Regrets always come in autumn: I just watched the video, the giant macaque is really amazing.
Not so obviously handsome: I told you, infinite rage is so handsome!
Let me brag again: clearing the game in 4 minutes and 20 seconds is indeed outrageous. I can also do it solo now, but I can't do it.
The dog who lost his happiness: Although your equipment is better than that of the giant monkey, roaming is not suitable for racing, so it is normal that you cannot do it.
I pick stars for you: Among us, besides my apprentice, is there anyone else who can break the record of the big monkey?
Regrets always come in autumn: Xingxing, don’t say that, I may not be able to break his record.
I pick stars for you: You are such a good disciple. It’s fine that I didn’t ask you to call me Master, but you used to at least call me Brother Xing. Now you don’t even call me Brother Xing. Is it because you have become famous that you don’t recognize me as your Master?
Lin Zhengqiu smiled bitterly. It was mainly because the old commander always called Xingxing like that. He had seen it so many times that he followed suit.
It seems that Xiao Meng is the only one in the entire guild who calls him Brother Xingxing.
And before this, Lin Zhengqiu had called him Xingxing for a while, and he didn't seem to mind.
He didn't dwell on the matter too much and quickly sent the message.
Regrets always come in autumn: Okay, Brother Xing.
I pick stars and give them to you: That’s right, hehe.
The handsome one is not very obvious: Hey, Xingxing, it is your blessing to have Brother Hanqiu as your disciple, why do you always want to take advantage of him? It’s just a title, is it so important?
The dog who lost his happiness: Yeah, there are a few people in the guild who still call me old dog.
Encountering Jiangnan by chance: I always feel that after Brother Regret’s power exceeded 1,000, the president was a little depressed. Is it my illusion?
Picking stars for you: I don't care about these. When I accepted him as my apprentice, he was only level 10. No matter how good his equipment is now, how fast he clears maps, whether he is the No. Sword Soul or the Strongest Berserker, as long as the master-apprentice relationship is not dissolved, he will always be my apprentice. Regrets always come in autumn: Brother Xing, you are right.
Let me pretend again: Haha! I wish I could have a disciple like Brother Regret someday.
The Dog Who Lost His Happiness: So Brother Regret, do you want to try to break the record of the giant monkey?
Regrets always come in autumn: Let’s wait and see…
The dog who lost his happiness: What do you mean by "wait and see"? You don't have the confidence to break his record, do you? But that's normal. After all, you used to play Sword Soul. Although your Berserker equipment is the best in the country, it may not be the fastest to play in the other world.
Regrets always come in autumn: You know how to motivate me, but tomorrow is Sunday, and there will be a siege activity in the afternoon. I will try it then.
Throw away the happy dog: That's right! Let's show everyone who is the fastest between the two of you.
Encountering Jiangnan by chance: The fastest battle? Why does this sound weird...
Lin Zhengqiu didn't chat with them anymore, but came to the Afaria camp alone.
Go to Durosi to exchange the rage CD chest and leggings, he wants to force these two pieces of equipment to be red.
There is no way. Any equipment purchased from the NPC will not have red words.
But if you want to achieve infinite rage, you have to wear these equipment.
In addition to the breastplate and leggings, Lin Zhengqiu also marked the Ultimate Reckless Belt that had just been revealed today with a red letter.
The next thing to do is simple, which is to increase them all to +10.
Although they were equipment from another world, it cost Lin Zhengqiu almost 10 million gold coins to enhance them to +3000.
Replace the red letter inheritance that Xiao Meng gave me and put on these pieces of alien equipment with red letter 10.
Lin Zhengqiu found that his strength had decreased a little, but fortunately it still remained above 1000, which was enough.
The next morning, after he came online, he first cleared the Sword Soul's fatigue.
After switching to the Berserker, he led his men to clear the Goblin Kingdom and the Hawk Dogs, and planned to use the Creeping City for the race.
When the monsters were about to attack the city at around 2 o'clock, Lin Zhengqiu switched to the Berserker account before the fatigue of the small account was fully recovered.
We waited until 2: and the monster siege officially began.
Lin Zhengqiu fought for about 10 minutes and then returned to the tavern to wait for the siege to end.
Lao Shuai, Xiao Meng, Xingxing and Zhuangbi Ge were all in the pub.
Regrets always come in autumn: Aren’t you going to join the monster siege?
Let me be cool again: why bother? It's so laggy.
Not Very Handsome: Indeed, but when he met Jiangnan and Hanzi Nan, he actively participated in every siege.
Picking stars for you: They want to farm the Valley of Counterattack as pets, so they naturally can’t miss the monster siege.
Dream is love and freedom: Master, do you have a record of clearing the monster siege three times? If not, the siege buff will not be issued.
Regrets always come in autumn: Don’t worry, there are some.
Soon, the time came to 3 o'clock, the monster siege ended, and the siege buff was successfully distributed.
Regrets always come in autumn: Please have 3 people cooperate with me to record the video.
Pick the stars for you: I'll do it!
Lin Zhengqiu built a team, and Xiao Meng and Xingxing soon joined in. Lao Shuai and Zhuangbi Ge also wanted to join.
Regrets always come in autumn: There is one spot left, who of you two will take it?
Not so obviously handsome: Me!
Let me show off again: What are you doing as a sword spirit? Let me replace you with a nanny! The task of being the socket in the first map is left to me! I dare not say that I am better than the nanny teammate of the big monkey, but I will definitely not drag down the regretful brother.
Regrets always come in autumn: Then the last spot will be given to the pretentious guy, and you don’t have to change your nanny.
Let me be cool again: Huh? No need for a nanny? Just want to be a corpse?
Regrets always come in autumn: You don't have to be a corpse. Burning you to death will waste my time. Your role is just to help me enter the king map. Don't waste a second after entering. Just return to the town directly.
His words shocked several people.
Let me be cool again: What's going on? No nanny? That's a bit slow.
The handsome one is not obvious: Brother Regret, if you go back to the city directly, where will the socket be?
Regrets always come in autumn: not using the three of them as sockets.
Let me be cool again: Huh? You want to use the summoned creature as a socket?
Regrets always come in autumn: Yes.
For absolute solo play, there is no other way to clear the first map except using the summoned creature as a socket.
Not obviously handsome: This is not impossible, but you have to know that those puppets and monsters summoned by compression capsules are not controlled by humans, and they will be killed instantly the second they are pierced by the harpoon. You have to keep summoning monsters. Using this method will definitely waste a lot of time. If you are not careful, it will take two or three minutes to pass one map.
Let me brag again: Without any teammates and only using summons, it only takes two or three minutes to clear a level, which is already incredibly fast...
Dreams are love and freedom: Brother Dashen, there is no need to do this, right? This is too difficult.
Regrets always come in autumn: How do you know if you don’t try? Let’s go.
I’ll give you the stars: Okay, if you’re not satisfied with the time it takes to clear the level later, just ask us to play a few more times. We’ll be recording a video anyway.
Regrets always come in autumn: OK.
When they walked out of the tavern, they saw a large number of players rushing towards the snow-capped mountains.
They should all be going to fight in the Valley of Counterattack.
Arriving at the Afaria camp, Lin Zhengqiu began recording a video:
"Brothers! Today we are going to make a speedrunning video of Creeping City. As we all know, Creeping City is now generally recognized as the most difficult dungeon. With the siege buff, I want to see how long it will take me to clear Creeping City..."
After saying that, Lin Zhengqiu once again checked his equipment, puppets, monster compression capsules, the placement of consumables, and other details...
After making sure it was correct, he took a deep breath and entered the King Map of the Creeping City.
As soon as they entered the map, Xingxing, Xiaomeng and the other two returned to the town at the speed of light, leaving Lin Zhengqiu alone in Map 1.
Lin Zhengqiu opened his backpack and used an Ice Tiger compression capsule to summon an Ice Tiger.
Before the Ice Tiger was hit, he immediately buffed himself and took medicine.
The slow-moving Ice Tiger was quickly caught by the big dragon man. Lin Zhengqiu took the opportunity to strike out with a mountain-shattering and earth-cracking slash, killing all the small dragon men instantly.
Then he summoned an Ice Tiger. The reason why the Ice Tiger Compressed Capsule was very popular in the Creeping City was because it had a very short cooling time and would recover in a few seconds, so there was no need to worry even if one died.
Soon, the ice tiger that had just been stabbed was stabbed for the second time, and this time it was killed instantly.
Fortunately, another ice tiger was also summoned out by Lin Zhengqiu.
Lin Zhengqiu's greatest advantage is that every time a big dragon hits the Ice Tiger, he can always kill all the small dragons within 5 seconds. This is extremely critical, because if he doesn't kill them all in one wave, even if there is only one small dragon left, he will have to fight another round, which is very time-consuming.
The biggest trouble for him is that he cannot control the Ice Tiger, so every time the Dragon Man tries to insert the Ice Tiger, it takes some time and he may even miss it.
