Chapter 4 Spring Water

Woohoo!!

A handful of players broke away from the crowd and rushed out into the streets to the west!

"Sure enough, there are also closed beta testers among ordinary players!"

Ye Kong glanced at it, and immediately found a few familiar faces, in the previous life, he was busy rushing into the commercial street, completely indifferent to the movements of other players, at this moment, he stood in the perspective of a bystander, and found the blind spot of the perspective of his previous life.

"After all, "Demon Realm" has been tested for four periods, even if the activation code is extremely rare, a handful of them will eventually flow into the hands of ordinary players, of course, that kind of activation code is the lowest level of 'closed beta qualification', and the more advanced internal test qualifications will not be their turn at all."

Before the open beta, "Demon Realm" went through four internal tests, of which the "closed beta" was the last test and the shortest test, with a total of only half a month cycle.

Any qualification for the closed beta can be carried forward to the next schedule (only the login qualifications, the character profile will be deleted), that is to say, the initial beta players have gone through a total of four schedules of testing!

The names of the four tests are referred to as the first test, the stress test, the internal test and the closed test.

Normally, people refer to all four beta players as 'Closed Beta Players', and to distinguish the players from the 'Closed Beta' slot, they are referred to as true Closed Beta/Triple Beta players.

Closed beta players, belong to the bottom of the beta players, even so, they also mastered the early task information, using this advantage, they in the early stage of the game, a large amount of their own strength, successfully ahead of ordinary players.

In the last life, the top 200 players of the Thousand Worlds Tree were basically internal beta players, and very few people like Ye Kong rushed to the rankings as open beta players.

"At the beginning, I was a closed beta player, and I opened up a lot of distance in the early days, which made it extremely difficult for me to catch up with them!"

Ye Kong's gaze was cold, and the next moment, he kicked under his feet and let go of his speed with all his might!

"Now, it's my turn to distance myself!"

Swish!

Ye Kong rushed to the players at the front!

Alphabet Jun led another guild member to the residential area in his memory, that is, the western district of Aoki Castle.

"I'm afraid that group of idiot players are still blocked in the shopping street, right?"

Alphabet Jun couldn't help but sneer, facing that group of ordinary players, he had a sense of superiority in his heart - because, he got the activation code from the president's hand, and he became a 'sealed beta tester' himself.

Alphabet-kun is a core member of the Hundred Ghost Guild, and the Hundred Ghost Guild, as the peripheral guild of "Mirror Flower Water Moon", it is not difficult to get a few activation codes, and even, the president of the Hundred Ghost Guild, Qingtianfang, is still a 'real beta tester' (the player of the third closed beta, the last schedule of the closed test).

However, Alphabet-kun did not follow the president Qingtianfang and go to the Eastern Plains to farm monsters on a map, because he had an important mission - to help the Hundred Ghost Guild pave the way and snatch the first elite-level story event!

Plot events are different from regular quests, like the shopping streets, the NPCs on the Eastern Plains, they are all regular quests, in short, regular quests can be picked up by a large number of players, and the quests are permanent-

For example, in the commercial street of Aoki City, a new player after a month still received a material task.

Story events are different, each event is non-repeatable, and players can only receive story events under certain circumstances/conditions.

In addition, the upper limit of the number of people in the plot event is not necessarily, some are limited to one player, some allow millions of people to participate, and the forms of tasks are even more complex and diverse, and cannot be generalized.

Generally speaking, story events are very rare, much more rare than regular quests, and similarly, its rewards are very high, even for the lowest normal level plots, there are good rewards!

The level of the plot events is divided into Normal, Elite, and Extraordinary..........

The higher the level of the story event, the more difficult it is to execute, and the more valuable the mission rewards are.

On top of the transcendent level, there are higher mission levels, but at the beginning of the game, not to mention the transcendent level, even the ordinary level is extremely rare.

Now, the Hundred Ghost Guild has an elite-level plot thread, of course, to fight for!

The task of the alphabet gentleman is to rush to the residential area and complete the clue first!

"Wait until I've completed that clue and led to the elite-level plot event........"

Just as the alphabet king was thinking for a while, suddenly, a strong wind hit from the side,

Shout!!!

A black shadow flew by, directly overtaking the alphabet king, and rushed to the front of all players!

"Who?!"

Alphabet Jun was shocked, you know, he chose the assassin profession, known for his agility, and was actually 'overtaken' by others!

At the same time, the voices of other players also reached the ears of the letter king-

"Who is this guy who is running so fast!"

"It's incredible, the pace of the movement........ His physical adaptability is also too good! ”

"No, depending on his coordination, at least he's been playing for more than a month.........."

"Where did this master come from? I don't remember the closed beta period, there was this character in the game! ”

Another player next to him, Cream Xiaosheng, couldn't help but say, "Alphabet boss, what is the origin of that guy?" How do you run so fast? ”

Cream Xiaosheng is also a member of the Hundred Ghost Guild, but he is not a core member, he belongs to the small follower of Alphabet Jun, and his game profession is Ranger - also as an agility class, his speed is not slower than that of an assassin.

However, Cream Xiaosheng was also 'overtaken' by the other party, and the most important thing is that he couldn't catch up even if he tried his best, so he could only watch the other party go farther and farther.

"Oops!"

The letter gentleman didn't care to answer, but saw that his arms swung hard, and the whole person burst out with all his strength......... However, he was still thrown away by the other party, and the distance between the two kept widening.

Alphabet-kun could only watch the other party's back go away!!

Shout!

Ye Kong was like a flash of lightning, no matter what profession the player, he was all left behind!

The swordsman profession, although it has a lot of strange places, also has an advantage, that is, his initial agility is very high, born with 5 agility, even the assassin who is known for his agility, the initial agility is only 4, a little less than the swordsman.

The most important thing is that Ye Kong put all the unassigned 3 attributes on agility, and piled up agility to 8 points in one fell swoop.

This value, even the assassins are beyond the reach of the dust, because the skills of the assassins do not eat strength, they prefer to allocate 1 attribute to the constitution to ensure their survivability, after all, the initial HP of the assassin is lower than that of the swordsman (if you add 1 point of constitution, it is not the lowest).

A very small number of assassins choose the addition of "3 mins", which is usually "2 mins and 1 body", even if it is an assassin with "3 mins", it is only 7 agility!

Today's Ye Kong is definitely the player with the highest agility value in Aoki City!

Ye Kong's adaptability to the body is even better than all the players present, even if it is a closed beta/internal beta tester, their sneaking time is only half a month, or a month.

The sneaking time of Ye Kong is more than 6 years! If you convert it into in-game time, it's an extremely long time!

Regarding the adaptability of the body, it has long been deeply rooted in Ye Kong's soul, no matter what action he makes, Ye Kong's body is very coordinated, like a dancing butterfly, every move is wonderful!

In contrast, the other players' athletic posture is as funny and ugly as a landlubber walking -

The two are not the same level of existence!

Ye Kong always maintained the first place, and soon, he came to the residential area of Aoki City.

Located on the west side of Aoki Castle, the residential area itself is an oval-shaped building complex, maintaining the style of Aoki Castle, with green vines entwined around each house, both Gothic medieval style and elf-like forest atmosphere.

In the center of the complex (in the middle of the oval shape), there is a spring full of life, called Aoki Spring, which is where Aoki Castle comes from.

"The three development directions of Aoki City, one is the monster farming in the eastern plains, the postman in a residential area delivers letters, and the other is the errand task of Aoki Spring!"

Ye Kong looked at the scene in front of him, his footsteps did not stop for a moment, and he decisively rushed to the spring in front of him.

meanwhile

The players who are lagging behind have finally caught up.

"He actually rushed to the spring?!"

Alphabet-kun was the second to arrive, and when he found out Ye Kong's movements, he almost laughed: "Could it be that he doesn't know that the player doesn't have enough time to complete the entire process of Aoki Spring's errand mission?" ”

"Three quarters of an hour later, it will be the invasion of the forces of the Night Realm, and at that time, the horticultural priest Pulitzer of Aoki Spring will be killed by the assassins of the hostile forces, and the errand mission he issued will also be interrupted!"

(A quarter of an hour = 15 minutes, three quarters of an hour is 45 minutes.) )

"What the hell is he going to do?"

Alphabet Jun glanced at Ye Kong, and found that he had a novice sword on his back, much longer than the assassin's dagger, and this time, he finally understood: "It turned out to be a swordsman, which made me have a false alarm, it seems that he is not an internal beta player - experienced players will never be a swordsman, because, this profession is too wasteful." ”

"The swordsman's initial agility is relatively high, so it's no wonder he runs faster than all of us." The cream boy next to him suddenly realized, and then, he shook his head: "It seems that he has added all the attribute points to agility, and the amount of blood is so crispy, it is easy to be seconds when you wait for a while." ”

"Stupid career choice, this newcomer is so stupid." Alphabet-kun retracted his gaze and ran to another alley in the residential area: "Let's go, we have to finish the task of 'postman delivery' as soon as possible before the 'Night Invasion'." ”

Originally, Alphabet Jun was still a little worried, thinking that the other party was also coming for the 'plot event', but from the current point of view, the other party didn't even know about the 'Invasion of the Night', and the game profession was a swordsman - the most wasteful profession.

Based on the above signs, the alphabet can determine that the other party is not an internal beta player, but just happened to be here.

It's just that his adaptability is a little 'surprisingly good'.

There are always some humans in the world who are naturally more suitable for stealth games, obviously it is the first time to enter the game, and the adaptability of the body is better than that of a closed beta player, and this is not the first time that this situation has been encountered.

Therefore, the alphabet gentleman didn't pay attention to the other party anymore-

"That player called 'Blank' is really a waste of a good talent."

Alphabet-kun took the cream boy and turned around and went into an alley.

If 'Blank' didn't choose a swordsman, Alphabet-kun still wanted to recruit the other party, after all, a player who quickly adapted to his body had a certain use value in the early stage of the game.

However, the words of the swordsman are exempt.

If the 'blank' is cultivated and formed, and other players also adapt to the body, the Hundred Ghost Guild has this resource, it is better to vote for other players, it is better than smashing on the body of the 'swordsman'.

With this thought, Alphabet Jun and Cream Xiaosheng disappeared into the alley together, completely ignoring the old beggar in the alley, and even they subconsciously stayed away a little.

meanwhile

Ye Kong rushed in front of the spring, he was the first player to come here, and the gardening priest Pulitzer took the initiative to speak: "Brave adventurer, are you willing to share the worries of the gardening sect?" ”

Pulitzer is a priest of the Horticultural Sect, and the Horticultural Sect is also the main religion of Aoki City, and if a player born in Aoki Castle is a player who is born in Aoki City, he will gain a 'good' level of reputation, for example, Haku's personal reputation is-

Principality of the Stars: Good, Gardening Sect: Good.

The Principality of the Stars is a benefit that comes with all players (limited to players of the Principality of the Stars), and the Horticultural Church is the innate benefit of the players of Aoki Castle.

Reputation is set on seven levels: hate, disgust, normal, good, friendly, respectful, and worshipful.

Renown affects the attitude of NPCs towards the player, and even more, there are some regular quests in the game that can only be taken by players with a certain reputation.

"I'm willing to share your worries, Lord Priest of the Horticultural Sect."

Ye Kong bowed slightly, looking very polite.

Gardening priest Pulitzer nodded and smiled, "Very well, I heard that the Night's Watch of the Darkmist Forest has recently suffered from rheumatism, and he is a loyal believer in the god of gardening, and we can't let him suffer from this." ”

"This is a bottle of Aoki spring water, which has been blessed by me to cure the annoying rheumatism, and to the night watchman on the outskirts of the Dark Mist Forest."

System Hint: Gardening Priest Pulitzer has given you the task 'Heal the Sick Night'.

System Prompt: You have obtained a small water bottle with an item and blessing.

"Follow your will, Lord Priest."

Ye Kong took the small bottle, which contained blue-white spring water, which was the key prop for the errand task.

The Darkmist Forest is located at the end of the Eastern Plains, and to get to the Darkfog Forest, the player travels through the entire Eastern Plains.

The two guilds of Aoki City each occupy the monster farm points in the Eastern Plains, but players can bypass each other and enter the Dark Mist Forest along the edge of the area where there are no monsters.

The two guilds also don't have the kung fu to stop some players passing by, as long as they don't rob the monsters, everything is easy to say.

The only problem is that it will take at least 40 minutes for the player to travel through the entire Eastern Plains (based on the standard for level 0 players), and it will take half an hour for Ye Kong to travel faster than normal players.

In addition, the search for NPCs in the Dark Mist Forest, and the time to return to Aoki City the same way.

The whole process will take at least more than an hour before Ye Kong can complete the task.

More than an hour!

If it was under normal circumstances, of course, there would be no problem, but Ye Kong knew that three quarters of an hour later, the 'Dark Night Invasion' event would occur in Aoki City, and the horticultural priest Pulitzer, who was the clue to the mission, was directly killed by the assassins.

The death of the quest priest made it impossible to complete the Spring quest.

'Invasion of the Night' is a major plot event!

Story events can affect the game's environment, and major story events can even affect a realm, which is the unique charm of Enchanted - any environment is dynamic, and story events can change them!

Demonic Realm is not a simple game, but more like a huge and complex world!

The Invasion of the Night, which refers to the invasion plot of the Seventh Realm and the Realm of the Night, borders the Tree of the Thousand Realms, and there is constant friction in itself, and after the 'Invasion of the Night', the two sides have directly become hostile forces.

In addition, the location of the Styx invasion is not only Aoki City, but a similar situation has happened in the entire Thousand Realms Tree, and a large number of plot events have emerged, of course, the open beta players don't know about it, only the closed beta players understand the situation.

"It's still a while before the 'Invasion of the Night'........."

"I'm going to seize the opportunity and complete that plan!"

Ye Kong put away the small bottle, turned around and ran somewhere!
