Chapter 20: The House of Guardians
A safe stronghold, as the name suggests, is a place where players can rest safely. There are no monsters here, and there are no safety incidents.
But a security base is not 100% secure, it can be invaded.
From the information seen by Luo Xiaobing, the security stronghold has a 10-day security period, and after 10 days, it will have to face monster attacks, and only by resisting three waves in a row can it obtain a 30-day security period. After 30 days, you will have to face five waves of monster attacks, and after resisting them, you will be able to get a 100-day safety period.
Luo Xiaobing speculated from what he knew that it was impossible for the security stronghold to be completely safe all the time. However, the safe stronghold will also be destroyed, and once destroyed, he will lose ownership of the place.
"It's cruel."
Luo Xiaobing had a headache when he thought of those monster attacks.
It's also forcing players to develop a safe stronghold so they don't lose it. In addition, it is beneficial to get a safe base.
For example, in terms of NPCs, you can build your own security forces, recruit NPC soldiers, attract wandering NPCs, etc.
In terms of players, it can also attract more players to settle here. After all, no player likes to survive in the insecure wild.
At the same time, with a safe base, the price of the product is up to 9.5% off, and this discount will increase as the security base is upgraded.
For example, learning skills, forging weapons and equipment, buying daily necessities, etc. In particular, bullets for gunsmiths and snipers are also available for purchase.
At the same time, it enjoys the attribute blessing of the security base, and the specific value is also based on the level of the security base.
On the other hand, increasing the level of a safe base will also increase the number of people it can hold, and it will also radiate the surrounding area, and the area will expand according to the level increase.
In addition, players who belong to this safe base will get some buffs for upgrades, quests, etc. in that area.
Most importantly, having a safe stronghold can reduce the respawn time.
At present, Luo Xiaobing's security base is level 1, which has been shortened by 5 minutes. In other words, it will take 30 minutes for a player without a safe stronghold to be able to revive, while a player with a safe stronghold will only need 25 minutes.
After understanding these advantages and disadvantages, Luo Xiaobing had to pay attention to it.
"There are at least 108 security bases in the entire Tianhai City, and the number of people that can be accommodated in each security base is also limited, so it is also very important to raise the level of security bases." Luo Xiaobing thought, and more importantly, the system has announced the information that there is a safe stronghold here, and it won't be long before players come.
At the very least, this is the first player's safe base, and the flow of people here is only too much.
Luo Xiaobing thought about it and decided to take more security strongholds. And assign their own people to become the masters of the various security strongholds.
In this way, they can unite in the shadows and form a force to be reckoned with.
"Little soldier, what are you thinking?" Charlene saw that everyone was scattered and explored this safe base. They didn't know that this large security base of the warehouse was exclusive.
Outside, the entire No. 12 subway station has become a safe stronghold. All the monsters here have been swept away, and they have been replaced by NPCs.
In addition to ordinary NPCs, there are also some commercial NPCs, combat NPCs, support NPCs, etc. At the same time, there are also rare special type NPCs.
"It's going to be our home from now on." Luo Xiaobing told Xia Lin about this safe stronghold that belonged to him.
When Charlene understood, she realized that the security stronghold was not as simple as she thought.
"I didn't expect the security base to be the entire No. 12 subway station. And it's still accessible only to us? ”
"Well, to be exact, the entire No. 12 subway station is equivalent to a town, and the twelfth, where we are, is like a guild station."
"I see." Charlene nodded and looked around.
In addition to their people, there are also some NPCs. However, these NPCs are all functional NPCs, i.e. commercial, guided, and some wards.
While everyone else disperses, greeting these NPCs and learning about something.
Compared to monsters, the NPC's AI is very simple and not very smart. It can even be said that in the past 2D and 3D games, they are just functional NPCs.
"Little soldier, do you want to tell everyone about this?"
"Yes." Luo Xiaobing nodded.
Now that he's taken the twelfth subway station, he's sure the other players will pick up their pace. So, he opened the system's map and marked the locations of the various subway stations. And said: "I plan to divide us into two batches, take the 11th and 13th subway stations respectively, and connect our three subway stations together, so that we can also use the subway function." ”
If you want to use the safest and fastest way to get from one safe base to another, the best way is to establish a connection between the two places, and the subway will be opened.
Today, the entire terrestrial world is the world of aliens, and players can only cower underground. But he believes that once the players develop and fend off the monsters' attacks, it won't be long before the players will be able to counterattack to the ground and eventually, even take out the battleship in the sky.
"Hmm." Charlene also agreed with Luo Xiaobing's idea, and she felt that the sooner the better.
"We have a 10-day safety period, and we don't have to worry too much about that 10 days. However, we must take down the other subway stations as soon as possible, and the more the better. Luo Xiaobing decided to gather everyone and then start the meeting.
Soon after, everyone returned after learning their skills, and Luo Xiaobing began to tell everything he knew. When everyone heard this, they all showed surprise, but then they also became ecstatic.
Nowadays, the subway station is like an underground city, and mastering it is equivalent to mastering an underground city.
Luo Xiaobing decided to separate all the people and distribute them everywhere to take the first kill and grab the safe stronghold. So, after discussing it, everyone began to prepare.
"As soon as everyone has their supplies ready, they will separate." Luo Xiaobing said: "The first regiment is in charge of Aunt Zhang, with members Zhu Di, Wang Xiaoqiang, Liu Hai, Wang Lecun, and Luo Ni; The second regiment is in charge of Zhang Kaijie, members: Luo Xiaobing, Wang Yunlan, Wang Xiaoqing, Chu Juan, Suo Lin. Charlene is temporarily in the 12th arrondissement. ”
"Ah, Boss? You became one of my members? Isn't that okay? Zhang Kaijie was suddenly embarrassed.
Luo Xiaobing didn't care, stretched out his hand to signal him not to speak yet, and said: "Because the security stronghold is obtained by the leader, that is to say, whoever is in charge is the owner of the safe stronghold." ”
"But can't you?"
"Nope." Luo Xiaobing shook his head and said, "One person can only get one security stronghold. ”
"Okay." Zhang Kaijie was a little frightened, he didn't expect that a person who is usually so calm would be so embarrassed in the face of this kind of scene.
"We don't have enough Guardians, otherwise I wouldn't have go." Luo Xiaobing comforted him and said, "Okay, all ready, let's go." ”
"Okay."
After hearing Luo Xiaobing's order, everyone immediately went to prepare.
And Luo Xiaobing began to authorize the entry into the list of the twelfth, and the name of the security stronghold, he named it the Guardian House.
Then, everyone changed into new equipment.
And, with the materials you get, you can start improving the quality of your equipment, as well as a lot of refill essentials. The safe base has a certain amount of inventory, so it can be replenished directly, but after it is consumed, it is necessary for them to replenish it themselves.
But the amount in this is obviously enough for more than 200 people, so Luo Xiaobing doesn't have to worry about the replenishment of firepower for the time being.
It is precisely with these reliance that Luo Xiaobing dares to divide his people into two.
Then, they began to move towards their respective goals. At this time, players on the 11th and 13th were wiped out, and they did not dare to venture inside again for the time being.
But suddenly, a team of six people each got into the subway station.
After they entered, they killed without saying a word, all the way to the end. And such a strong style naturally attracted the attention of players.
However, it seemed to them that they were sending them to their deaths. Hundreds of them couldn't get through, let alone others.
And, more importantly, the No. 12 subway station has been raided, the security base is also available, and their opportunity has come.
They were going to go to the No. 12 subway station to inquire about the news. So, even more ignore this team.
But for Luo Xiaobing, racing against time is quite important.
When a large number of players flocked to the Guardian House, they found that they had to collect energy crystals or crystals to enter.
This was set by Luo Xiaobing when he left.
First, outside this safe stronghold, it can accommodate up to 2,000 people; The second is also to limit the influx of other players.
And the fee is 10 energy crystals, or 1000 crystals.
It didn't make the other players half angry.
But everyone wants to go inside to find out, and more importantly, maybe they can find a way to improve their strength inside. After all, being ravaged by monsters all the time, it will be unpleasant to change anyone.
"Damn."
"Ah, I'm still missing 1 energy crystal."
"I'm also miserable, 100 crystals short."
"Can anyone lend me some money?"
Outside the Guardian House, there are many players gathered together, and some of them have enough money to enter immediately.
However, after entering, they were depressed to find that they could only stay for an hour at most, and a large number of players scolded them.
However, Luo Xiaobing's reason is that there are too many people to visit, and he can't favor one over the other.
Obviously, Luo Xiaobing wanted to make more money, but he found a good reason. After all, Luo Xiaobing knew that after 10 days, there would be monster attacks, how could he not prepare in advance?
