Volume 7: The Chamber of Secrets at Blackstone Mountain (Remastered) Chapter 12: War or Peace (2)

If Yu Bin were to choose one thing that he hated the most from his experience in his two lives, it would undoubtedly be the camp war in the previous life.

It was a war that would wake up in the middle of the night just when Yu Bin thought of it, even after the game and reality merged, for up to three years, many people, including Yu Bin, would wake up from their sleep because of a little footsteps, subconsciously choose a sheltered route when rushing, take off their coats when resting but still wear shoes, this stress response called war syndrome bothered him for a long time, until the pressure of life in reality forced Yu Bin to gradually forget about the war.

But every time he dreams back at midnight, the cruel, bloody, painful and sad war still finds Yu Bin countless times, reminding him that the nightmare never ends.

Like many faction wars recorded in the literature, the camp war in the previous life, whether it was the orderly camp or the chaotic camp, fought bravely for their own race and honor with high faith and firm will.

The only difference is that there are players involved in that faction war.

If NPCs are able to keep their own hearts and stick to the bottom line, then the player represents the other extreme, and they will stop at nothing and don't care about all the rules in order to win.

It is precisely because of this that as the player gradually replaces the NPC's army and becomes the main force in the faction war, the entire Entagri continent is completely thrown into chaos, and the whole world no longer has the distinction between the front line and the rear, and the ubiquitous player will turn any place into a battlefield, whether it is a snowy mountain or magma, whether it is the sea or the desert, whether it is the field or the city, whether it is the sky or the underground.

Resistance warfare, defensive warfare, encirclement warfare, blitzkrieg, and then quickly evolve into a variety of frontal battles and intrigues behind it, the comrades who fought side by side with you one moment, the next moment they will be bribed by the enemy in reality, and the weapons in their hands will be inserted into your chest, and the warbands that swore to protect the city yesterday will sell the entire city to the enemy today because of enough commissions.

The war has become so cruel and unforgiving, everyone can be an enemy, every place can be a battlefield, and a crossbow arrow can fly out of every corner, whether it is a life player or a combat player, they are all burning their lives in this faction war, and finally fall from exhaustion.

Yu Bin once experienced a battle with the Grim Reaper, located on the edge of the elven territory, Anson Town, once an important commercial town, hundreds of trucks came and went in this town every day, bringing supplies from the outside world to the elves, and at the same time selling the goods in the hands of the elves to other parts of the continent.

In the second year after the start of the Faction War, the Elves began to fortify these border towns as logistics bases and respawn points to support defensive operations, as the offensive of the Chaos Camp became stronger and stronger.

Yu Bin, who was a winged man in his previous life, was stationed in this town with his own team, and was responsible for the defense of Anson Town along with several other teams.

However, after a quiet night, this peaceful town was instantly transformed into a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood.

In order to eliminate the elven players engaged in tug-of-war along the border, the Tulip Alliance, which belongs to the chaos faction, planned a sneak attack, and they bought off a part of the team responsible for defending the logistics base with a large sum of dollars, and with the help of these betrayers, Anson became the territory of the chaos faction like an undefended city.

Yu Bin, who woke up, was surprised by the enemies who appeared in front of him overnight, and even more surprised by those comrades who had no guilt, Yu Bin, who was unwilling to betray the camp, followed his comrades who were also loyal to the order, and after paying a tragic price, he finally broke a bloody path under the heavy siege of those chaotic camp players and rushed out of Anson Town.

As for those comrades who died there, because the resurrection point was set in Anson Town, some of them were killed by the enemy again after the resurrection, and many people's soul energy ceiling was greatly damaged, and even a few vegetative people appeared, fortunately, at this time, it has been several years after the game has been fully opened, and players with a little way can find a way to repair this soul damage, so as not to fall asleep completely.

And this is just a small episode in that cold and brutal war, and no one knows how terrible the players paid in this terrible war.

Of course, Yu Bin does not deny that most players will not do this kind of thing, especially those who belong to the Grand Guild Alliance, because betrayal means that in reality there will be serious punishment, and when the cost of failure far outweighs the benefits of success, human beings will abide by the rules they specify, which has to be said to be a very ironic fact.

So, since Yu Bin has experienced the hellish camp war in the previous life, why does he want to provoke a camp war so deliberately in this life?

Because, depending on the time, the results will be very different!

In the last life, when the faction war broke out, it was the mainstream group of players who crossed the fourth order and entered the stage of the fifth order, in the face of more and more difficult upgrade pressure, ordinary monsters and copies were far from meeting the needs of players, and the benefits that the war can provide are very good for players to solve this problem in any way, killing players in the opposing camp can immediately obtain 10% of the experience points of the opponent's current rank, and after the victory of the battle, The temptation to exchange the required equipment from the quartermaster is the temptation not to be swept up in the whirlpool of war.

What's more, a large number of high-level players were stuck on the threshold of the sixth to seventh orders at that time, and some top players needed to find a way to be promoted to heroes.

And in this life, once Yu Bin successfully triggered a faction war in advance, the impact on players is far less than that of the previous life. On the one hand, the player's level is not high, the upgrade pressure is not obvious, and the benefits that the war can bring to the player are not any advantages compared to the ordinary monster fighting upgrade, on the other hand, the player's lack of strength also leads to their inability to play enough role in the faction war, and can only become the lowest-level cannon fodder, and this result is obviously not what the player wants.

With these two restrictions, even if the faction war breaks out now, the impact on the entire player group will never be very large, and over time, advanced players will join the faction war first, and obtain enough capital through the war to influence the players who join the war in the future, such as military ranks and other various power and identity promotions, at the same time, because there is no player as a large source of soldiers, NPCs have to go into battle themselves, which will make the NPC's power more consumed in the faction war, And when a large number of players enter the fourth or fifth level and join the war, the strength of the NPC has also been greatly weakened, and the player can naturally take the initiative of the war from the hands of the NPC, and avoid becoming a consumable in the hands of the NPC like in the previous life.

As for whether the future will evolve into the same tragic and unscrupulous way of war in the previous life, Yu Bin thinks it is no longer important, because the player's nature and the fundamental purpose of human beings to pursue interests have already doomed this inevitable result, what Yu Bin can do is to let players feel the cruelty of war early, so that players have more time to think about the role they can play in this war, as for whether to repeat the tragedy of the previous life, it is impossible to rely on Yu Bin alone.

Everyone has to take responsibility for the decisions they make, and accept the corresponding price, Yu Bin is not the Virgin, his fundamental starting point is to make himself live, and live better, only on the basis of meeting this goal, Yu Bin will be within the scope of his ability, so that the entire human race, the entire player group to get a better future.

The primary and secondary objectives must not be confused! Yu Bin, who has died once, has already understood this, and will never hesitate or be confused on this issue!

After explaining the things that need to be explained, Alan left Naxxramas, as a well-known assassin, Alan is no less than Yu Bin, such as a guild leader paid him to assassinate a rival guild leader, or a rich second generation wants to fight his rival and spends money to ask this assassin master to take action personally, many people in this world are short of money, but there is never a shortage of people with a lot of money, and Alan has no psychological obstacles to taking advantage of these fat sheep.

Yu Bin continued to patrol his territory.

I have to say that the adventure of Mosso Black City has indeed brought great benefits to Yu Bin.

Strategically, Spider-Goddess's exit largely eliminates a mine in the chaotic camp. Although the dungeons under the rule of Rose are divided into chaos camps, more often than not, these drow elves rule underground cities play the role of wall grass, and have always been a major cancer of the chaos camp, not only to guard against these black skins, but also to prevent them from becoming sharp blades in the hands of the order camp, demons and undead have to spend a lot of military power to monitor the entrances and exits of various underground worlds, and pay enough extra benefits to prevent these black skins who take betrayal as a common thing not to be bought by the order camp.

With the ascension of the Black Dragon Queen Sinestra, the dark elves had to be human with their tails between their legs, or rather elves. As one of the oldest Elder Dragons, the Black Dragon Queen Synesstra's tendencies are outright order-based evil, completely different from Rose, who is chaotic and evil, the new master of the underworld values tradition, loyalty and discipline, and acts according to the rules, but does not have mercy or enthusiasm, therefore, under the rule of Synestra, even if the dungeon will not do its best to participate in the faction war, at least it will not give the chaos camp a stab in the back, which is very helpful for the determined chaos camp to start the camp war.

In terms of personal interests, Yu Bin has gained more. Through this adventure, he not only left a very good impression on Sinestera, but also hung his name in the hearts of many high-level dungeons, whether it was the dragon queen Moriel or the Shadow Council, where would he put such a little reptile that could be destroyed by blowing a breath in his eyes before, but now, with conspiracy and calculation, the spider goddess Rose, who has the conspiracy priesthood, has been ruined, this record, not to mention an ordinary hero-level character, is the dragon queen Moriel, a existence that can step into the legendary level every minute, It is impossible to do it.

In addition to the benefits of these connections, of course, there are also tangible benefits, regardless of the experience Yu Bin gained from the turmoil in Mosso Black City, which allowed him to rush to the third order cap of level 140 in one go, and the number of hero-level subordinates alone has increased by several more. Although the dark elf Vidara was pierced through the chest by Yu Bin's sword, the corpse was still brought back by him, and he used the power of the soul bead to turn it into a hero-level subordinate like Garimos, in addition, there are also spider girl Ajthorn Kene and the earth-walking dragon Tuses, the former became the steward used by Yu Bin to manage Naxxramas, and the latter was put into the Great Hengduan Mountain Range by Yu Bin, while probing the surrounding map, while cleaning up those potential dangers, the hero-level strength is enough to make this big guy walk sideways in the Great Hengduan Mountain Range, The premise is that you won't be unlucky enough to run into those super powerful creatures.

And then there was the abundance of supplies. The dark elves have run Mosso Black City for so many years, and the materials and wealth they have accumulated are even richer than a medium kingdom, although Yu Bin only obtained a small part of it, but it still made him earn a lot of money, all kinds of high-grade materials, scrolls, equipment and potions, and related recipe drawings for life skills, in addition to these materials that can be immediately transformed into combat effectiveness, Yu Bin also deliberately used a part of the materials that he didn't need in exchange for a large number of books and architectural drawings from Sinestra's hands.

The former can increase the foundation of Naxxramas, and the people born here can increase their wisdom by reading these books, and it is possible to improve their qualifications, so that they can be promoted from a lowest-level NPC to an NPC with life skills, and even further. Players can also learn the knowledge by reading books, which was also a means of attracting players in certain territories in previous lives.

The latter is more obvious, a large number of rare architectural drawings on the one hand greatly enhance the function of Naxxramas's territory, add more power to the territory, on the other hand, it also lays a very good foundation for the future development of the territory, you know, a real territory is impossible to only have residential and recruiting buildings, when did you see that the cities owned by NPCs only have these basic functional buildings?

Of course, in addition to the blueprints that the undead can use, there are also some architectural drawings of other races that Yu Bin specially exchanged, some of these drawings will be secretly handed over to Raphael so that she can develop her territory in the future, and the other part will be put up for auction at the right time.

Yu Bin's personal aspect, the equipment that was damaged in the battle before has been repaired with the help of Sinistra, and Sinestra also deliberately strengthened several sets on Yu Bin's body, and by adding more advanced materials and grandmaster-level forging masters to personally take action, these death scar sets on Yu Bin's body can be said to have achieved the most perfect degree.

As for the remaining pieces of the set (there are four of them, and there are nine pieces in the Death Marks set), fortunately, a drawing was found from the treasure house of the Banray family, which was the shin guard that Yu Bin was missing, and the gloves were found in the treasure house of the Deaver family, and the remaining ones, according to Sebrigalk, had seen the real thing in the territory of the three-headed Shadow Dog, and Sinestra had asked the big dog to go back to get it, and then strengthened it and then gave it to Yu Bin as a reward, and the latter was wrapped up by Kel'thugad, As a reward for Yu Bin. If nothing else, before Yu Bin sets off, this set of death scars that made him coveted will reunite, pushing Bin's combat power to another peak.
