(The game "Drunken Moon" is purely fictional.) Some of the system settings in the game are all original from the author. ）

I came home from work on the first day and was in a good mood. "Guang Xiao" brought Sun Yimin a good work experience, so that he did not regret his choice.

Establishing himself in the city with his skills has given him some confidence and fulfillment. Since then, his life in the city has been on the right track.

In addition to his work, he will also start a new life - life in the virtual world of online games.

After Liu Ronghua finished telling his wonderful story, he proposed to take Sun Yimin to experience the dungeon scene challenge task first, so that he could have a preliminary understanding of the game world.

Sun Yimin readily agreed. He placed the notebook on the dining seat, took a chair and sat down side by side with Liu Ronghua. This is done to facilitate on-site communication with Liu Ronghua while operating the computer.

After logging in, Sun Yimin's game character "Xiangwang Youmeng" appeared in the "Chang'an City" scene.

The territory of the game world is divided into multiple maps. Characters can be teleported between maps via post stations.

Each map contains three different types of scene areas.

The first is the urban area. Towns tend to be located in the central part of a map. The role of the town is to provide players with the basic services of the game world, such as shop owners selling medicines and household items, blacksmiths providing repair equipment services, street stalls providing places for players to trade items between players, arenas, entrances to gangs, and so on. The interior of the town is a "safe zone". The meaning of the so-called safe zone is that the monsters in the area cannot be entered, and players cannot attack each other, so it is safe for the player character.

The second category is the field scene. Refers to the area of a map other than the town part. Most of these areas are "non-safe areas". There are various monsters that attack the player character in this area, and players can also attack each other here.

The third type of scene is more special, called "copy scene". The entrance to a quest scene is usually located in the field scene.

The term "dungeon scene" belongs to the modern term of online games. It refers to multiple replicated mirrors of a particular scene in an online game world.

Why do I need to set up such a replication image? In some early online games, some popular scenes (such as some wild scenes infested by big boss monsters that can drop rare items) often had congestion due to too many players. While this has caused a burden on the server, it has also affected the player experience - because there are so many people in the boss, many players have no chance to encounter the boss, let alone obtain the rare items dropped by the boss.

The original intention of adding the "dungeon" setting to the game was to alleviate the above problems. Elevate the player experience.

Essentially, it is multiple mirrors of the same scene created by the online game server in the server virtual storage according to the needs of the player.

Each mirror image is exclusive to a specific player (usually a player in the same party unit) who is in it. This means that players in a quest cannot encounter any other players outside of their team. In this way, all players have the opportunity to challenge bosses and get rare items.

When the first player character member in the party enters the quest scene from the quest entrance, the quest mirror is created on the server in real time, and all objects in the quest scene, including resources, monsters, etc., are reset. When all party members exit the quest scene, the quest image is deleted from the server. Even if you re-enter, it will already be a world that has been reset.

Generally speaking, the challenge difficulty of monsters and bosses in the dungeon scene is higher than that in the wild, with stronger attack ability and higher defense. Therefore, challenging dungeon scenarios usually requires multiple players to team up, and players need to cooperate with each other. Correspondingly, the monsters in the dungeon scene, especially the items dropped by the boss, are of higher quality and rarer.

The dungeon scene system of "Drunken Wind Moon" is divided into many scenes according to the level of the character and the difficulty of clearing the customs. According to the game's settings, every time a player character levels up to a full ten levels, they can participate in new dungeon scenario events. (Players below level 10 can basically only play in the Novice Village.) ）

For example, after reaching level 10, players can go to the level 10 map "Swagger Mountain" to challenge the "Pit Viper Cave" dungeon, and go to the "Qingqiu" map area to challenge the "Nine-Tailed Fox's Den" dungeon.

Players who have reached level 20 can challenge the "Red Flower Cave" in Zhuhai in Xiangxi and the "Vine Whisker Cave" in Yandang Mountain.

……

From level 10 to level 60, there are currently a total of 12 dungeon scenes to challenge in the Drunken Wind Moon game, and it is said that new dungeon scenes will be added in the future.

The higher the level of the dungeon scene, the higher the difficulty of the challenge, and the higher the level threshold for players. Of course, the more advanced the items and equipment dropped.

In general, there are two replicas for each whole ten level. Both quests have different levels of difficulty and positioning.

For example, in the level 10 dungeon, the difficulty of the pit viper cave is low, and the items dropped by the boss are mainly armor. The difficulty of the Nine-Tailed Fox's Den is relatively high, and the items dropped are mainly weapons and accessories.

Sun Yimin asked Liu Ronghua: "So which copy will you take me to today?" ”

"The dungeon scenes at levels 10-50 are relatively simple, and you can go there and experience them on your own. Today, our brick kiln will take you to experience the level 60 dungeon scene Guyao Cave, let you enter the door, and another day we will take you to experience the more difficult level 60 dungeon stargazing platform. ”

Sun Yimin nodded.

Liu Ronghua instructed again: "You see if there is a blood recovery medicine in the bag, if not, go buy some." ”

Sun Yimin inspected the package and asked, "Where can I buy it?" ”

"There's a shop or a hawker NPC in any town." Liu Ronghua said. Sun Yimin did so.

Liu Ronghua said again: "You go to get the task first." ”

"What's the mission?" Sun Yimin asked.

Liu Ronghua explained: "Quests are a gameplay concept in the game. Players can be rewarded with experience points and gold items for completing tasks posted by NPCs. There are generally two kinds of tasks in this game, one is the main quest, which is related to the background story of the game, which is generally a one-time task. Others are daily tasks that need to be repeated and typically involve quest challenges. I'm asking you to pick up quests. ”

"Isn't it true that if you go to a dungeon, you will have experience points after fighting monsters and bosses, and you can also drop gold coins and equipment? Isn't it time to complete the mission? Sun Yimin looked puzzled.

Liu Ronghua frowned and explained, "It's not like you understand. Defeating bosses will naturally grant you the gold items they drop, as well as XP. But if you're done

Quests released on PC can also earn additional experience points, as well as gold or material rewards. In fact, the rewards obtained for completing these tasks are actually the main source of income for players in the game, so they must be claimed. ”

Sun Yimin was stunned, and asked again: "Then where can I get these dungeon tasks?" ”

"The quests are basically in the gang territory, you go to the gang territory to find the 'gang contribution manager' to get it. Each quest has a Gang Contribution Quest. Each quest can only be completed once per day. ”

Sun Yimin did so, and by the way, after reading the specific descriptions of these tasks, he realized that most of the general task objectives were to destroy the ultimate boss monsters in the dungeon. Once you've reached your goal, you're ready to

PC delivers the quest and claims the reward.

He received a quest related to the Guyao Cave Challenge.

Sun Yimin took a look at the details of the current dungeon mission: the goal of the task is to defeat the ultimate boss of Guyao Cave, Jade Xuanji, and after reaching the goal, you can return to the gang to deliver the task and receive rewards: a considerable amount of experience points and gold, as well as gang contribution points.

He asked curiously, "If there is no help, wouldn't there be no place to receive these tasks?" ”

"That's right, so in the game world, it's hard for an individual to survive alone, and you have to rely on the gang for everything."

The "Guyao Cave" located in the wild area of the map "Panlong Mountain" is the lower difficulty of the level 60 dungeon, and it mainly drops the armor that the character can equip on level 60.

The story background of the quest is roughly as follows:

Recently, there have been many strange disappearances of children in Luoyang City, and it is rumored that the evil sorceress "Jade Xuanji" committed it. It is to refine pills, robbing young children as medicinal materials, and "Guyao Cave" is her secret experimental base. The ultimate goal of the mission is to kill the boss Jade Genhime.

Liu Ronghua formed a team and pulled Sun Yimin into the team.

In online games, "team" is a special concept that is different from previous single-player games. The main role of the team is to facilitate cooperative operations and challenge quest scenarios. When several players are on the same "team", they can enter the same dungeon.

All players can see the location of all their teammates on the minimap in the upper right corner of the game interface, and can also communicate with each other in the team channel in the information bar.

When a teammate is attacked by another player, all party members will automatically be in a state of legitimate defense against the attacker (Houxiang), so they can directly counterattack.

Any player can initiate the creation of a team, and after the establishment is successful, the player will automatically become the team leader, and will have the right to approve other players to join the team, as well as remove teammates.

There are a total of 6 people in the whole team, which is the maximum number of people in the team set by the game system.

The entrance to a quest scene is often located in the field. Therefore, in order to challenge a dungeon, you must first reach the wild area to enter the corresponding dungeon.

Sun Yimin found the post station from Chang'an City and teleported to the safe area village of the map "Panlong Mountain", and then trekked out of the village on foot to a cave on the mountainside in front of the stone gate, and the lintel was written with three seals "Guyao Cave".

Manipulate the mouse to click on the stone door, and select Enter Copy in the pop-up dialog box. The scene then switches to a cold, damp, rocky cave entrance.

A stone tablet is erected on the left side of the entrance, and it is written "easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover", I don't know how to understand. Looking at the background introduction of the dungeon, there was a period of wind and moon in it.

The group had been waiting here for a long time.

Sun Yimin carefully looked at the looks of his teammates: Liu Ronghua is a tiger-backed bear-waisted Arhat profession, Yue'er is a graceful female long-range spell attack profession "Emei", the goddess is unintentional for the gentle and lovely healing profession "Baihua", 'Linen Bag' is a wild long-range attack profession "Phantom Bow", He Xiaoquan is dressed in silver, and it is a cold spell attack profession "Yu Bing".

On the left side of the screen are the avatars of each team member. Most of the people in the team are inlaid with a golden dragon pattern on the outer frame of their heads, and only themselves and He Xiaoquan are decorated with silver dragon patterns.

Several people in the team were surrounded by gold stars and their weapons were emitting purple air. Somehow either.

Sun Yimin checked their character combat power one by one, and found that Liu Ronghua's "combat power" had reached 280,000+, Lin Chunhong's combat power was 25w+, and Yue'er was more than 220,000. The goddess Wuxin is relatively inferior, only about 15. Sun Yimin's Xiangwang is only nearly 80,000, and He Xiaoquan's combat power is close to 100,000, and he also looks like a novice rookie.
