Chapter 35: The Legend of the Ten Warriors (1)
The third city is a city known for producing high-quality concentrates, and the ultimate mission is to eliminate the massive number of undead that inhabit the mines, so that they can mine normally.
This task can only be completed by Ling Yu alone, but fortunately, he has also established a lot of contacts in the two months of the initial island, and many novice players who have just joined the game have been helped by him.
Coupled with Ling Yu's willingness to provide potions at a price lower than half of the market price, as well as the various benefits that can be obtained by destroying the undead themselves, he has attracted many players to help.
With the joint efforts of nearly 1,000 players, it took them less than a day to eliminate a large number of undead entrenched in dozens of mines and complete the mission.
By completing this mission, all participating players receive the privilege of 10% off shopping in the city. Although the degree of discount is far less than that of Ling Yu, it is better than nothing.
In addition to prestige rewards and honorary citizenship, Ling Yu also received the privilege of greatly enhancing his equipment once.
However, the equipment that can be strengthened is limited to the vanilla equipment below level 15, and cannot be a type of equipment such as accessories.
The equipment that Ling Yu chose to strengthen was naturally the exquisite bow and crossbow in his hand, which was a super killer weapon in the early stage.
The enhanced Delicate Crossbow has increased its attack power by a full fifty percent, and it also gains a Cross Engraving skill.
Delicate Bow and Crossbow: Special weapon, fixed damage 120, normal rate of fire, range 300 yards, +10 hit.
Built-in skill, Cross Lettering: Marks an enemy target for one minute. When attacking a marked target, the damage dealt is increased by 50% and is guaranteed to hit. Cooldown: Three minutes. Mana cost: 10.
The reason for such a big increase is mainly because the equipment that can be strengthened is limited to whiteboard equipment and the level is below level 15. Therefore, even if the attack power is increased by 50%, it is only on par with excellent equipment.
To put it simply, this augmentation perk allows players to upgrade a vanilla piece of equipment to Excellence. It's very powerful, but it's not too bad, after all, low-level excellent equipment itself isn't too hard to obtain, at least compared to players who can complete the ultimate mission in the city.
However, for Ling Yu, who has a dwarven bow and crossbow, this reward is very outrageous, which is equivalent to directly increasing his attack power by fifty percent out of thin air!
In addition to these benefits, another unexpected surprise is that after the mine can be successfully mined, the NPCs in the city will be able to craft level 15 vanilla equipment.
Although it can only supply a few dozen pieces of level 15 whiteboard equipment per day, it is still a pretty good benefit, so that future novice players do not need to worry about level 15 equipment.
The first to enjoy this discount was naturally Ling Yu, who was still wearing level 10 whiteboard shoes, and now he could finally change to level 15.
The shoes of the Firmament Realm can be divided into two categories, one is the steel combat boots used by heavily armored warriors, which can increase defense but reduce movement speed, and the other is the cloth shoes worn by French professions, which can increase movement speed and a small amount of defense.
Ling Yu's animal trainer belongs to the legal profession, so he can only wear cloth shoes.
After replacing the pair of cloth shoes on his body with three movement speed plus four movement power, Ling Yu's movement speed increased slightly.
Without making too many stops, Ling Yu immediately rushed to the next city.
There were five cities on his original island, and he wondered if anything would happen if one of the five ultimate missions had been completed.
With no one to compete with him, he quickly completed the ultimate mission in five cities, earning a massive reputation reward of thirty points.
System: Once you have completed all of the city's ultimate quests on Kathos, you will have the right to trigger the final quest, Tales of the Ten Warriors, which can only be triggered once, and will not be triggered again if you fail or refuse.
Reward: Holy Order Emblem, 100 Fame.
Failure Penalty: Deducts 100 Fame, Level is reset to zero, and Skill Slots are permanently reduced by 5.
Duration of the mission: one calendar month.
Do you want to accept it?
Seeing the system prompt that suddenly appeared, Ling Yu was not particularly surprised. In the process of completing the task, he was also vaguely aware of this. But the terrible punishment of defeat scared him a little.
Zero level is not a big deal, the point is that the penalty of a hundred reputation points and a permanent reduction of five in the skill bar is too terrible. You must know that the average player does not have as exaggerated reputation as him, and a hundred points of reputation means that reputation will inevitably become negative, and he knows a little bit about what negative reputation means.
Previously, a player was arrested for blaspheming a female NPC and his reputation dropped a bit. This directly leads to a 5% increase in the price of all items he buys, a 5% drop rate, a 5% decrease in the experience gained, and so on
And that's just a case of minus a little prestige. If it is minus 20 reputation, then the player will not gain any experience for killing monsters, nor will they drop quest things, they cannot team up with other players, and they will be listed as persona non grata by all cities and NPCs, which is equivalent to the complete destruction of the game character.
And the skill bar is reduced by five, which means that you have five fewer skills in the later stage than others, and the gap caused by this is not something that can be made up by a few levels.
If Ling Yu was replaced before he became a beast trainer, he would inevitably choose to seek stability and refuse in the face of such a terrifying defeat punishment, but for him who was just enjoying the game now, he didn't need to have so many worries, and he could directly make a choice based on his own heart.
System: You have accepted the final mission: The Legend of the Lost Ten Warriors.
Background: After the undead scourge that swept through all floating islands, humanity was briefly at peace, but it didn't last long. Although the undead remaining on the major floating islands have been completely wiped out, the dark aura they remain behind has not been completely eradicated.
The dark aura left behind by countless undead eventually formed a black mist capable of eroding all things, and these black mist gave birth to world-destroying beasts full of desire to kill and destroy.
For humans who have not fully recovered from the previous undead catastrophe, the Beast of Destruction is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, making the human race, which is already on the verge of destruction, almost completely destroyed.
However, just as humanity was almost destroyed by the World-Destroying Beast, ten human warriors stepped forward. With the blessing of the gods, they destroyed all the world-destroying beasts with overwhelming combat power.
The ten human warriors who became the saviors of humanity united the remaining humans to establish a new empire on the island of Cassot, while the leader of the Ten Warriors at that time, Palaredin, became the first emperor of the empire, and the rest formed the Holy Knights headed by him.
However, the good times did not last long, and Palaredin, who had not been on the throne for a long time, was assassinated by unknown persons and died. Therefore, six of the warriors also quarreled over the supreme position, and the originally close comrades-in-arms became mortal enemies, and at first they fought each other with swords.
In the end, the remaining three couldn't stand this ugly fight between their companions and chose to leave.
Stage 1 Mission: Take the Paladin's Medal to find the legendary Ten Warriors and trigger the follow-up mission.
The background of the mission is quite detailed, but there is no mention of where the key is triggered, and not even a clue is given.
If it were an ordinary person who received this task, he would definitely feel that this task was a bit clueless and didn't know where to start. But for Ling Yu, who has absolute memory and keen observation, it is not too difficult to complete.
In the process of completing the ultimate mission of the city, he consulted a lot of game materials, and also learned a lot of secrets and information from many NPCs that ordinary players would not know at all. After just a general search in his mind, Ling Yu found a clue that might be related to the Ten Warriors.
Ling Yu looked at the paladin medal in the package and found that it was actually a pretty good quest item, which could provide the wearer with all attributes plus two attributes and come with a fearless heart effect that could resist all mind debuffs. And most importantly, it's a special item that doesn't occupy the regular equipment slot.
I don't know if this item will belong to him or be taken away by the system after completing the task. Ling Yu's expectation was the former, and for him, whose attributes were far lower than those of other players, these two all-attribute bonuses were too important to give up easily.
