Chapter 538: The Lost First Player
With the group of "Chimera" who attacked and trained the militia, they were killed by Zhao Xu and his party and transformed into skeletons and undead creatures, and brought back.
Zhao Xu's personal prestige also reached its peak again.
No matter how terrible the legend of the mage is, it is false to the inhabitants of these towns.
Only when this kind of naked strength is placed in front of him, can everyone understand the crushing situation.
tried to compare with Zhao Xu again, but he only hit the stone with an egg, and even was exterminated by his family.
No matter how aggressive the players are, they all realize how strong Zhao Xu, who has a "White Dragon" magic pet in his hand.
After Zhao Xu set up the "Lord's Mansion" department in the city hall, he pasted his "decree" on the bulletin board on the outer wall.
This is also the place where the town's public notice issued various policy edicts, which are only officially legal if they are pasted above and made public.
Zhao Xu's first announcement clearly states that the player "Pastor Yuna" relied on the blessing of the divine power of the Sensed Believer to find the Chimera Lair first.
As a result, she was given a "Knowledgeable Scroll" with +5 perceived intrinsic value for the main attributes of the priest.
Strictly speaking, a War Priest's need for strength may be higher than perception, especially when the Priest's melee ability is exploited by players and the promotion of "Divine Grace" and "War Domain".
The 16-force and 14-perception Warherd opening plan has also begun to appear among players.
Basically, spellcaster players are no longer looking for the most extreme 18-point primary stat as they did at the beginning of the game.
According to the 15 perceptions to be able to cast the Five Rings Divine Technique, it is also everyone who realizes that the Five Rings are too far away, and it is not too late to supplement them with equipment and upgrade attribute points when they are really needed in the later stage.
At this time, the warrior players were also embarrassed to find that they didn't have a war herd who could fight, and the barbarians could barely save some face with their violent posture.
As for Zhao Xu's announcement that the strange thing worth 100,000 gold coins was obtained by a first-level priest, although it also aroused suspicion to some extent, Zheng Xinyun, who participated, was also a kind priest himself, which greatly strengthened his persuasiveness.
To be able to become a "priest", there must be ethics that are in line with the will of the camp and the gods, which is basically recognized by the majority of players.
It's not that you don't know how to choose a pastor, a powerful profession that can fight milk.
It's really not possible.
Faith and ethics are simply the roadblocks that combine together.
No matter how cheating a warrior is, the long sword in his hand is still sharp.
But a priest who has turned his back on his beliefs and beliefs will no longer shine again in his hands.
Therefore, the "mission" released by Zhao Xu has indeed been "verified", and this task worth more than 100,000 gold coins is not at the same level as the difficulty of finding the nest, which greatly stimulates the majority of adventure teams.
In particular, the adventurer team that provided information on other unregistered nests also received a certain amount of information fees, and did not make a trip in vain.
This made everyone stare at the bulletin board, all the "mission information" about the Lord's Mansion.
After a few positive feedbacks, everyone also faintly regarded the player "Midsummer" as a kind of game NPC.
Or that the other party is already a god who has broken away from their ranks.
With the arrival of early spring, the construction of the "Mage Guild Residence" in the town is also in full swing, and the capping is about to be completed, waiting for the follow-up spellcasters and Arcane Craftsmen from the capital to join.
During this time, in addition to occasionally taking a copy and participating in the actions of players, Zhao Xu also silently cultivated his own candidates.
Basically, most of the people he knew well in his previous life have more or less dealt with Zhao Xu after he was reborn.
He was like an adventurer who had been wandering for many years, and suddenly woke up early one morning, saw the dew on the white orchid outside the windowsill, and suddenly returned to his hometown and returned to his original peaceful life.
During this time, as players exchanged resurrection stones for experience, there were also lucky people who successfully broke through to a new level.
also made Zhao Xu's level 8 identity not so dazzling.
At the same time, as the number of gods sending down divine graces increased, news of an adventurer receiving the favor of the gods popped up on the forum from time to time.
Even a few days ago, it was already rumored that a certain half-orc player in the orc kingdom who was deeply favored by the god of war almost broke through level 8 in the hunting process of facing more than a dozen bipedal wyverns challenging level 6 at one time.
In the sixth month of the server, there are no less than 300 players who have successfully reached level 7.
Among them, the first 20 players to reach the top may break through to level 8 at any time.
Spellcasters, professional mages, and priests are rumored to have appeared at level 6.
The three-ring spell "Fireball Technique" has also begun to shine in the hands of the top 20 mage players in the game.
Although it can't cause absolute damage to the current warriors and barbarians of the same level, it is enough to cause a "clearing" effect on players of level 1 and 2 and low-level monsters.
This is also the first time that Arthur has made players feel "cool".
Finally, there is a bit of the coolness of killing monsters wantonly in traditional online games.
At this time, everyone also began to realize that these top players were just one step away from the player Midsummer who was on the altar.
They are no longer struggling to catch up with each other and avoid the triggering of the gap treaty.
It's just that these top 20 level 7 melee players are a little more competitive.
They'll be on par with Midsummer.
Even if the opponent breaks through to level 9, they still can't trigger the gap again.
Players will also be able to save face for the first time.
It's just that in the middle of summer, every day at the construction site of the association, between the Falling Star Lake and the mining area, the frequency of going out to fight monsters is only once a week.
Sometimes he fished in the unremarkable lake, and he fished for an afternoon.
Or holding a thick book with intricate patterns, wafting in the waves in the boat on the lake, and the women on the boat also change from time to time.
It's as if he's thinking of Arthur as a wellness game.
Zhao Xu's situation of not being able to rise to level 1 in two months is completely different from the terrifying gap of level 2 in one month and level 8 in four months, crushing the second place by a full level 3.
If it weren't for Zhao Xu's occasional move, he would be able to crush and shock everyone with the four-ring spell, otherwise there would be a rebound in the town.
Most of the players are also mourning.
Especially with the simultaneous opening of the three servers of "US", "Asia", and "Europe", and the merger of foreign server players into Arthur, this anxiety has deepened.
Although most of the spawn points of players on other servers are different from the common towns of the current national server.
But Zhao Xu's move of being stuck at level 8 for two whole months also made everyone worry about whether the scenery of level 9 was like a moat, and it was difficult to cross it.
"Mr. Midsummer, you're very laid-back."
Zheng Xinyun rowed the oars of the small boat hard, pushed away the waves, and slowly floated on the dreamlike Falling Star Lake under the sunset.
From an outsider's point of view, Zhao Xu didn't even do the slightest physical work, so he watched with his hands in his hands and let Zheng Xinyun, who was a girl, paddle, even if the other party was a priest with 12 powers, he was somewhat ungentlemanly.
"Not convinced?" Zhao Xu said jokingly.
I saw Zheng Xinyun puffing out his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything.
"I'm just letting you know that although the gods are largely the product of faith and the personification of the priesthood, and many of the original parts of the human heart have been worn out, it is still undeniable that they are still trading in essence."
Saying that, Zhao Xu looked at Zheng Xinyun, "As long as I am more valuable to the gods you believe in, he will rely on me." ”
Not to mention, He is me.
Zhao Xu said secretly in his heart.
Zheng Xinyun held her breath and rowed the somewhat heavy wooden handle of the oar, "I knew that Mr. Midsummer, you would definitely call your wife in the future." ”
"Haha, let's talk about it, let's talk about it." Zhao Xu suddenly couldn't help laughing, and suddenly there was a feeling of raising his eyebrows in his heart.
But Zheng Xinyun looked at Zhao Xu a little strangely, "But Mr. Midsummer, you are quite interested." ”
Zheng Xinyun, who was obviously intoxicated with missionary work, slowly rose to the unprecedented level of level 3 after two months.
This also made her unconsciously tilt her chin slightly when she thought about it.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing, Zheng Xinyun's believers who had finally preached accumulated the power of faith that was fed back to him, and Zhao Xu basically didn't have a penny, and gave all the feedback to Zheng Xinyun.
Otherwise, she could have risen to level 3 so quickly?
As a result, he disliked him at this time.
Zhao Xu held back a smile and said, "What's the matter, don't you dislike this 50 gold coin rowing boat not enough to be magnificent?" ”
"If you had this elegance, I could have invited you to a bigger ship."
I saw Zheng Xinyun's eyebrows frowning, "Mr. Midsummer, this is what I want to tell you." ”
"Sister Ning Wei told me, you ordered a three-masted sailing ship worth 30,000 gold coins from the Capital Shipyard. Mr. Midsummer, are you going to start a trade around the Yongdong River? ”
Arthur has already realized that they don't need to level up, and they can still rely on the characteristics of the earth to engage in the corresponding industry.
Commerce, the old business of the earth, is thriving among players.
Several large chambers of commerce have also begun to appear among the players, and they have even come into contact with the power classes in the towns, monopolizing the trade of some materials.
Zheng Xinyun thought that Zhao Xu had been biased towards business and trade procurement, rather than simply purchasing magic equipment to improve himself, and all kinds of doubts were born in his heart.
thought that Zhao Xu also wanted to make easy "money" on the earth.
As everyone knows, Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "The three-masted sailing ship is nearly 40 meters long and 5 meters wide, in addition to the three masts, there are 70 oars on each side of the hull, a total of 200 crew members are needed, and it can also carry 150 tons of cargo or 250 soldiers. Don't you think this ship is a good deal? ”
In fact, Zheng Xinyun didn't know that Zhao Xu also paid an additional 8,000 gold coins to transform the sailboat, and installed a broken mallet and three design towers in the front, middle and rear.
"A man's dreams are all stars and seas." Zhao Xu said foolishly.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know, this ship can't cross the ocean, it can only go along the coast or paddle." Zheng Xinyun corrected.
This means that the ship will be able to follow the Northern Alliance, the river of eternal winter that runs through the Northlands.
Zhao Xu suddenly felt that Zheng Xinyun in front of him was a little smarter, and he made it clear that he had done enough homework before mentioning it to her.
This shows that the other party's suggestion to him is not just Zheng Xinyun's idea.
Perhaps, it represents the opinion of many people.
It's just that Zhao Xu can't explain it, in addition to preparing food on the one hand, he is also preparing sufficient transportation capacity for deployment on the other hand.
The Eternal Winter River, which runs through the entire Northland, can reach the "Wild Land" where the earthlings appear after crossing.
As long as a port is built there, it will be able to receive a steady supply of supplies from the entire northland.
Provided, of course, that it's rich enough.
So Zhao Xu has already arranged manpower to go to some shipyards to prepare for the purchase of large sailing ships.
"Whoa—"
Suddenly, there was a sharp whistle from the lake.
When players discovered that the action on Earth could be perfectly replicated by Arthur, many players who couldn't whistle mastered the skill with more dexterous fingers.
Seeing Zheng Xinyun's eyebrows pulled, Zhao Xu looked over from afar, and found that it was a group of strange players who noticed the actions of the two of them on the Panbo Lake, and whistled from afar.
"It's a spring outing."
Zhao Xu glanced at the flag leading the team and confirmed everyone's identities on the spot.
"Don't want to make progress." Zheng Xinyun muttered to herself.
I saw that on the post road from Winter City, there were seven or eight warrior players wearing full-body armor at the front.
Even if it has been on the service for half a year, those who can now have this kind of equipment can be said to be the best among the players, and ordinary civilians have no way to start this kind of warrior who is like being under a can.
This is also the reason why knights with armor in the Middle Ages were nobles.
Behind these guards, there were forest rangers, priests, and wanderers, and it can be said that their ten-person squad escorted a vast "sightseeing group" of nearly forty or fifty people.
As Arthur's fame grew, many players who struggled to complete their training turned to the in-game landscape.
They are also the most famous "gold coin sightseeing tours".
As long as the money is in place, adventurer players who are not afraid of death even dare to take these sightseeing groups to the dragon's lair in person, and then enjoy a day trip to the dragon's rest.
Because this group of sightseeing players who are just looking at the scenery, most of them are 18 Physique Stacked Double Robust Specialty (+3 Health).
Just to save a life to see the great rivers and mountains of the entire Arthurian country.
Therefore, they also dare to provoke the strong.
The big deal is to re-register the account.
Zheng Xinyun also knew this and understood that she was fundamentally helpless against these cheeky players in the sightseeing group.
"If he blows it again, I'll make him regret it."
At this time, Zhao Xu continued to flip through the classic book in his hand - "Mystra's Spell Guard: A Secret History, A Song of Blood and Fire".
However, Zheng Xinyun's behavior of turning his head and turning a blind eye even more stimulated the slick men in the sightseeing group who had just started to coax, and they even laughed on the spot.
Suddenly, the person next to him hurriedly pulled, "Don't die, someone else is the lord of this town." ”
"Oh, the lost first player?" The man who had just whistled laughed.
