Chapter Twenty-Three: Reaching an Agreement and Continuing His Life
The red thorn pattern circulates like a cirrus cloud between the corners of the eye and the cheekbones, curling in an arc like petals that have stood still in time, reminiscent of some kind of plant that grows on the banks of the Lethe River. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but this pattern did not bring any demonic influence to Xiong Jing, but added a bit of mystery and solemnity to his countenance.
"Second Uncle ......"
Li Gan turned his head to Li Kui and cast an inquiring gaze, but he waved his hand to stop the questioning behind.
"Unspeakable, invisible."
Li Kui left this meaningful sentence, and turned around and walked into the bedroom.
"Don't say", which means that about the cinnabar rune on Uncle Xiong's face, he can't explain it yet. And what is "invisible"?
"Let's go~Xiaobai, let's take a bath~"
Uncle Xiong smiled and picked up the white ball with watermelon juice on his face and walked into the bathroom, closing the door under Li Gan's gaze.
The "invisible" mentioned by the second uncle refers to the momentary personality change of Uncle Xiong just now, which comes from something invisible? Or is it that the eyes behind his sunglasses can't be seen, otherwise something bad will happen?
But what are the runes under his eyes? It felt a lot like the incantations written on the yellow paper talismans in the house, but it didn't quite look like it. To be precise, the pattern on Uncle Xiong's face looks like a lost hieroglyph of a desolate civilization. Li Qian had heard that many young people of the ancient tribes would have tattoos on their bodies, thinking that this would suppress the murderous things they feared in their hearts. But the color of the thorn on Uncle Xiong's face was dim, revealing a strange and dark aura, I am afraid that he has lost the power to suppress the murderous creatures and has become a special evil.
Does Uncle Xiong know about this? Seeing that he hadn't even noticed the change in his tone just now, maybe he didn't know that he was in a crisis, right?
Hey?! Will it reduce his lifespan, this is it?!
This thought flashed in Li Gan's mind, but he was ranked back as a secondary task.
The top priority is to upgrade first to save Uncle Xiong's life.
Because bathing Bai Tuan would get wet, Xiong Jing put his phone on the table. Li Gan picked up the phone again, swiped the lock screen, and found the game icon of Ghost Go. He wanted to see what title Uncle Xiong had reached now.
After entering the game interface, he clicked on Uncle Xiong's player avatar, and Li Qian saw that the title progress bar behind it was only filled with three hundred famous values. It is a full 1200 points away from the 1500 fame value of the "Boundary Seeker".
He's not even a "mortal" now, Li Gan thought to himself. Five days is not a lot of time, so it must not be delayed. Their team is like a bucket, the planks that make up the bucket are uneven, and Uncle Bear happens to be the shortest plank on the bucket. As the old saying goes, the amount of water a barrel can hold depends entirely on the shortest plank.
As long as you reach the fame value, you can level up, and the number of ghosts is negligible, this place is called Li Gan who doesn't understand it very well. Since you can level up by obtaining fame points, why do you need to make a constraint on the number of ghost guides? Li Gan felt that since this rule existed, it must have its meaning of existence. Although the importance of the number of Goblin Bestiaries is not yet apparent, sooner or later, it will become a major limitation for players to play. Now that it's taken into account, it can't be taken lightly. It's just that in the current situation, there is no need to worry.
Since the focus is on the famous value, the starting point should be on how to quickly obtain the famous value. At this stage, there is only one way to obtain ghosts, and there is no choice, so the way to obtain the channel has been blocked, and there is no shortcut to it.
Then there's the type of goblin catcher. Li Qian thought that the reason why he had risen to the "mortal" level after catching a monster was because the devouring monster he had captured belonged to a rare ghost of blue quality. Since he just looked at Uncle Xiong's mobile phone, Li Qian has been concluding that the ordinary reward for catching a ghost is 100 famous points, the additional reward for opening a white quality ghost book is 200 famous points, and the additional reward for opening a blue quality ghost book is 400 famous points. From this, it can be deduced that the bonus reward for a green quality Goblin is 300 Fame, and the bonus for a Gold Goblin is 500 Fame. Each level of quality is rewarded with 100 points more than the previous level.
In other words, the better the quality of the ghost you catch, the higher the fame reward you will get, and the faster your title will be upgraded, but you also need to consider your ability to deal with it. The Devouring Monster is just a blue-quality ghost, which makes Li Gan and Black Box encounter many crises in the process of capturing them. The Seal Stone was swallowed, and the hardened defense led to the inability to capture, and it was swallowed into a different space in the abdomen, and the soul was bound by the devourer's body. Judging from these previously unforeseen events, with the current strength of Li Gan and his party, it is really unwise to overstep the level and catch the monster. Because there are so many variables, it is necessary to minimize the possibility of unexpected situations in order to improve the certainty of completing the task.
However, if you only catch white quality ghosts, it is a bit too wasteful of time, and the reputation value of the reward is too low, and the reward for opening the Bestiary is only 200 points. They can't catch ghosts during the day, so they can only run out in the middle of the night when no one is around. That is to say, nominally they have five days to achieve the title, but in reality they only have a few hours from eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the morning. Five days is only 30 hours. And judging from the situation that Li Qian had just dealt with the ghost lights, the white quality ghost was not so easy to deal with. Therefore, instead of spending half a day with a ghost with a low reward value, it is better to deal with a ghost with a high reward value.
Then there is the issue of the use of props. Li Qian discovered from capturing the Devouring Monster this time that ordinary sealing stones would reduce the capture rate for various reasons. He hadn't bought or tried the catch rate items sold in the game store, and he didn't have high hopes for those bits and pieces. The only way he could improve his capture rate was to throw the Seal Stone at close range, or simply put the Seal Stone into the capture circle. This is the experience he has summed up from the experience of grasping the soul of desire, and it is also the most reliable way to capture it that he currently feels. If you are just close, you will inevitably clash with ghosts, which requires teammates to attract hatred and firepower, and it depends on your awareness and cooperation.
Then there is the issue of the consumption of the underworld. Although he recharged five million dead coins from Tao Qian's shop, there were also ten points of discounted life value for each of him and Uncle Xiong. Since there is already a stygian coin, he will first have his stygian coin, and Uncle Xiong's discounted life value will be reserved for him to exchange for life. But because I don't know when the next recharge will be, the five million must be saved, and we must not be extravagant and wasteful. However, Hei Zai said that the foot tail rice can be made by himself, that is, a bowl of rice buried in a duck egg, these things can be bought with the money of the yang world, which can save some money. And it is said that the foottail rice has the function of attracting the attention of ghosts, in case we encounter ghosts and we can't deal with them, you can leave the foottail rice in place, and run away with Uncle Bear and the black boy and the white group.
After such calculations, Li Qian found that he might only need to buy the capture prop sealing stone and the soul soup for lifting the possession. He had already seen the situation of ghost possession just now, and if it weren't for the second master by his side, he would really be muddy. And even if the second uncle helped him get rid of the ghost lights, he still had muscle soreness for a certain period of time, and his body was in a bad state of not being able to use his strength. The second uncle is a game promoter, and he has already made it clear in front of him that he will not interfere in Li Gan's game process. If this is on the way to catch ghosts, he will definitely become a burden to Uncle Bear and Blackboy. In order to prevent this from happening, the soul-infusing soup must always be at hand.
After thinking about it like this, Li Qian felt that capturing green quality ghosts was the most cost-effective choice at present. It is relatively less dangerous than blue-quality ghosts, and has more reputation than white-quality ghosts, so it can be said that it is the best choice.
It's just that Li Gan feels that the conditions for achieving what the second uncle said are really a bit harsh.
Reach the title of "Boundary" within five days, and if you capture a green quality ghost as the standard, a ghost will be routinely rewarded with 100 points, plus 300 points for opening the Illustrated Book, for a total of 400 points. Uncle Bear needs 1200 Fame Points to upgrade, which is equivalent to catching three different green quality ghosts.
But it's easy to say, now he and Uncle Xiong's ghost illustrated books are black, basically in the early stage of the game, the distribution of various quality ghosts in the city is completely unclear. And just by virtue of the black silhouette on the illustrated book, even the black boy who has experienced a lot of monsters during the test can't judge the monster's attributes at once. If you touch it like this, you don't know anything.,The chance of encountering a higher-quality monster is also very high.。 The blue monster Li Gan felt that it was his current limit, and the golden one he didn't dare to think, what if he couldn't even run away? This makes it more difficult to complete the task.
Therefore, it was necessary for him to ask the reason why the second uncle would agree to such a difficult compromise for them.
"Oh, that's what you mean." Li Kui said, "Even if I don't promise you, sooner or later, you will become a boundary seeker." ”
"That's what I said, but after I analyzed it, I felt that five days was still too tight." Li Gan said, "Let's see if you can be more accommodating." ”
"It can't be more accommodating." Li Kui said, "Time is pressing, it's good to be able to give you five days." ”
"But ......"
Li Gangang wanted to continue to refute, but was interrupted by a sigh from the second uncle.
"Hey, don't you understand? I'm here to save my junior brother. ”
"Of course I understand your feelings, but if you drive people like this, I'm afraid Uncle Xiong won't be able to stand it." Li Qian voiced his concerns.
"I know, but I can't do anything else." Li Kui said, "Because if you don't achieve the 'Boundary', there will be no system of exchanging life value for life in the store, and there will be no battle for the foundation." ”
"Foundation battle?!" Li Qian heard a new word again.
"Participating in the battle for the foundation can earn a discounted life value." Li Kui said, "This is the best way to renew my junior brother's life at the moment, so I reached an agreement with them." ”
