Chapter 11: The Whereabouts of the Magic Book
After eating a rice bowl outside to treat his stomach, Lin Ling returned home, took out a scanner, stuffed all the notebooks he bought from the used bookstore into it, and let the scanner slowly sweep into the computer. He looked at the time, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, took his medicine, sat down in front of the computer and began to read the "Eternity" forum to see what news was there.
In order not to affect the daily life of players and improve the quality of the game, "Eternity" adopts daily maintenance. Maintenance is available from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
Reading the Eternal forums was something Lin Ling used to do in the past, and a successful game merchant could tell the level, equipment, and spending power of the current mainstream gamers from the forum posts.
In the League of Legends' exclusive forum, most of the posts are talking about mage treasure room dungeons.
Some players think that as a level 5 dungeon, the difficulty of the mage treasure room is too high, while others say that not being able to pass the difficulty level is a matter of strength, and that if you can't pass the ordinary difficulty, it is a matter of IQ.
Lin Ling had also fought in the mage treasure room in his previous life, and their team had a more reasonable career match, and they followed the strategy of flying all over the sky, which also allowed them to get through the expert-level difficulty. He read a few posts and decided that players who couldn't even pass the normal difficulty were lacking some means of regenerating health.
If the current market has as many healing drugs as it will in the future, they should complain that the chance of the hidden boss appearing is too low.
Lin Ling shrugged his shoulders, even he didn't have much to do about it. The current dilemma can only be solved by waiting for the player's average level to rise and someone start working on side jobs such as alchemy, enchantment, cooking, etc.
At two o'clock, the originally noisy forum suddenly fell silent.
Lin Ling put on the game helmet and entered the game again. He looked at the current experience value, 21% at level 4, even if he didn't do the task, he would be able to reach level 5 by simply farming monsters.
Level 5 will be a new beginning.
"Look at the mailbox." Strawberrynose sent a private chat request, "I ordered 20 sets of mana dust for you, and they should send it to you as a paid mail." ”
Paid mail is an ancient payment method that is usually only used by people when it is not possible to make a face-to-face transaction. Since the system will take a certain percentage of the handling fee according to the amount of the amount, many sellers will deliberately increase the amount of fees to make up for the money they have to pay to the system, which increases the price of goods in disguise and passes on the loss to consumers.
It's just that the strawberry nose is the batch of mana dust ordered by Lin Ling, and the price of mail payment is unified at 20 copper coins, no one, no more, no less.
Lin Ling looked at the ID of the sender, fought Xiao Tao wildly, and suddenly realized.
Berserker Xiaotao is a professional game merchant used by the Berserker Alliance, heroic, and does not like to stick to small profits in business, and often puts the words "unified price, Tong Su is not bullied" on his lips.
Lin Ling accepted the letter, the reason why he bought mana dust instead of mana crystallization was also because he was worried that those professional game merchants would see some clues from the materials he purchased. He opened the mailbox and replied with a letter to Furious Battle Xiaotao: "Long-term acquisition of mana dust, the price can fluctuate in a group of 5 copper coins." ”
System Prompt: The message has been sent.
Lin Ling converted 20 sets of mana dust into 20 mana crystals and stored them in his personal warehouse.
The total amount of funds available in the storehouse's books has reached 10 gold coins, a somewhat staggering amount.
He summoned the black and white cats to his side with satisfaction, fed them a little cat food to replenish their satiety, and after playing with them for a while, he let them go and continued to earn money for himself.
After finishing the miscellaneous affairs, Lin Ling cared about the situation. He looked at the rank leaderboard, and the current highest-level player had rushed to level 9, hanging alone at the top of the rank list. Below him, there is a group of level 8 players, and the ranking changes a little bit every minute.
Lin Ling is currently ranked 4972nd in the League of Legends Mage Rankings, barely entering the top 5000. He turned off the list. Strawberry Nose asked, "What's next for you?" ”
"Zero, I've taken on all the tasks related to the Bad Devil." Strawberry Nose was silent for a moment, and said a little embarrassed, "I want to team up with you to fight the bad demons." ”
"All the mana dust is mine."
Lin Ling put forward his request, he had a level 5 shaped energy shooting and a drow cane on his body, and teamed up with Strawberry Nose to farm inferior demons, which was equivalent to him taking Strawberry Nose to upgrade.
"I want a group to hand in tasks." Strawberry Nose said in an inquiring tone.
"This is okay, but state in advance that you can only take one group, and in addition, the dropped equipment will be distributed according to demand, and you will also be responsible for selling garbage and transporting supplies." Lin Ling knew that Strawberry Nose was the kind of person who liked to do things according to the rules, so he deliberately said it to death and made it clear the responsibilities of the two.
Strawberry Nose nodded, Lin Ling's conditions were not harsh. In fact, if you count it seriously, he still picked up the cheap.
"You go buy two sets of spring bread first"
Lin Ling added Strawberry Nose to the team, he found the professional mentor, took out ten mana crystals and handed them to this high-spirited hypocrite, and the system immediately prompted him to complete the task.
"Fool, do you really think I'm going to tell a little mage with a tendency to chaos the secret that the troll hyena has a Nether Impact Spellbook?" The career mentor winked at Lin Ling, then reverted to a sanctimonious hypocrite, and continued to wait for the next wronged boss to come to the door.
"Troll hyenas?"
Lin Ling remembered that NPC, the troll hyena was a wandering businessman, haunting the inferior devil's lair all year round, and the player could use mana dust to exchange with him for various level 5-7 tabula rasa equipment and various potions, and sometimes the troll hyena would also put some bronze-level equipment in the inventory.
However, those equipment combined are not as valuable as Nether Impact.
Nether Shock is the undead's signature magic that reduces the recipient's strength, constitution, and agility by 15%, while knocking them back and dealing some damage.
Nether Shock is also an instantaneous spell, inflicting a debilitating effect that is a fixed value that does not increase the duration and debuff strength as the level increases.
Lin Ling remembered that the damage caused by Nether Impact was also a fixed damage, starting with 100, and then increasing by 1 level after that, it would increase the damage by 10 and reduce the mana consumption by 10%. Reaching level 10 is nothing more than an extra skill that doesn't require mana consumption.
In other words, this magic can be most effective as long as you learn the next level.
But the troll hyena is also a level 7 troll, with extremely strong self-healing power, even if he is promoted to level 5, it is not easy to kill alone.
"Strawberry Nose, let's fight a level 5 inferior demon." Lin Ling quickly made a decision.
A level 5 one is not easy to kill, what about the two?
