Chapter 45 We also colluded with officials and businessmen
"I'm coming."
Ning Yi smiled indifferently: "Lord Guard, I found you all the things you need." β
"Good, that's good, it's very good!"
After saying three good words in a row, Cao Tai remembered to give Ning Yi a task reward.
System: Congratulations on completing the hidden mission [Providing Weapons], gaining 3200 experience rewards, Yunlan City garrison Cao Tai's favorability towards you +200, and Cao Tai's relationship with you has become trust.
System: Congratulations on your +80 reputation in Yunlan City and +5 reputation in Dongyu Empire.
Then Cao Tai rewarded Ning Yi with 100 taels of silver, and also gave him a black cloth armor equipment.
Black Scale Flying Fish Suit (Huiyue Quality)
Defense 25
+30 Posture
+7 movement speed
+20% attack speed
The majesty of the Empire is inviolable, reducing the physical attack of hostile players around it by 30.
Exclusive: Blademan
Required Level: 15
Note: The standard equipment of the Jinyi Guard represents the supreme majesty of the imperial power.
The equipment is good, and Ning Yi is worried about where to find the cloth armor suitable for him.
What's even better is +5 Dongyu Empire prestige, you know, this is imperial prestige!
In the Phantom World, how important the reputation system is, players have already felt it. And it's not easy to farm the prestige of a single NPC, let alone the prestige of the region?
Compared to the lowest-grade regional prestige of Songzhu Village, whether it is the prestige of Yunlan City or the Dongyu Empire, it is an unattainable luxury for most players.
Because in order to gain the prestige of a certain region, you must have completed a certain task or event that can affect the power structure of that region.
How difficult is that?
However, Ning Yi has now succeeded in influencing the course of the war in the Dongyu Empire to some extent by providing ordnance materials, so he will gain +5 Imperial Prestige.
After the transaction was completed, Cao Tai laughed heartily, and then hurried back with his things to make the difference.
He retained his official position, while Ning Yi gained connections, and the two sides can be said to have taken what they needed and cooperated happily.
With his personal relationship with Cao Tai, Ning Yi opened up a passage to the upper class of Yunlan City, and the game progress once again came ahead of all players.
The deal is completed, and Ning Yi returns to the village.
In the conference room on the third floor, a round table is placed in the center and surrounded by seven chairs.
And the seats were already full of people at this time.
At this time, even Ning Yi didn't expect that the Immortal Trace Guild, which would reach the top of the illusory world in the future, would actually rise from the seven elders present in front of him.
"Master, are you still brushing up on the Wolf Demon Valley copy today?"
Clenched his fists and looked at Ning Yi expectantly, the Wolf Demon Valley is a small dungeon, which is refreshed once every natural day, and it is the best way for players to obtain equipment, skill books, and transfer certificates.
Although he is actually more keen on PK with other players by clenching his fists, entering a dungeon can significantly improve his strength, so he is not repulsed, and even extremely yearning.
However, without Ning Yi leading the team, even if they already knew the strategy and had a highly targeted prop such as a pepper bomb, there was still no hope of being able to clear the level.
So in the conference room of the Wonder Workshop, not only did he clench his fists, but the rest of his teammates also looked at Ning Yi, waiting for his answer.
Ning Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes." β
Hearing him say this, everyone was also relieved.
However, the drizzle and some worry said, "Who will run the store?" β
Clenched his fists and then remembered that it was okay if no one took care of the Wonder Workshop. But it was obviously unfair to keep anyone behind, so even he didn't know how to open his mouth.
Instead, the braised pork rice suggested, "Why don't we try to hire a few NPCs?" β
The seven of them are all student parties, and they can only be online at night every day, so they can't let the Wonder Workshop be closed for two-thirds of the time every day, right?
Drizzle Storm was a little unsure about the suggestion of braised pork rice: "Is this useful?" β
At present, there is no other store opened by players other than Wonder Workshop.
As a result, it is not known whether NPCs can be hired by the player.
Ning Yi: "Just try it, it's temporarily closed today, let's go to brush the Wolf Demon Valley." β
"Yay!"
"Hooray!"
As soon as they heard that Ning Yi was willing to lead the team to brush the copy, everyone was overjoyed and cheered.
β¦β¦
"Despicable...... Villain ......"
Three hours later, the boss of the end of the level fell again with reluctance, and Ning Yi's level was retraced back to level 12.
And Ning Yi also unexpectedly received an upgrade prompt from the system.
System: You use sword weapons, and you have a total of 10,800 critical hits, and your sword mastery is +1.
And this kind of good thing?
Ning Yi was also a little confused, but in the end, this was a good thing, so he was still quite happy in his heart, and smiled in his heart: "I didn't expect to be able to improve my strength in this way." β
This kind of setting of the system means that players who specialize in a certain field tend to improve their strength much faster than those who have multiple classes at the same time and are half-hearted and greedy, and the development prospects are brighter.
The brute knife did not explode weapons this time, but instead came out with a Huiyue quality pants with leather armor type, but it limited the swordsman profession, but Ning Yi couldn't use it.
Then the brute knife returned three skill books, but [Cold-Blooded Strike] and [One Knife and Two Cuts] Ning Yi had already learned, and there was only one he could use.
γKnife Slash Ground Splitγ
Attack +20%
Strikes a (7+Γ0.2) meter long sword qi forward, and the target slashed by the sword qi will suffer physical damage Γof 3 + Γ 4 of the muscles and bones, and will be stunned for 3 seconds.
Cost: 20 Stamina, 30 True Qi
Limited: Knives
Notes: The sword qi is vertical and horizontal, and under the slash, the earth cracks.
A fairly powerful control skill, the output is not bad, Ning Yi plans to secretly change to a moon maniac after going back and then learn this skill.
The remaining two copies can be sold to a thousand noodles bottle, and he shouldn't refuse to sell seven or eight hundred thousand credits, right?
"I feel like the drop this time is a lot worse than the last time."
In the team, Drizzle Fenfei, who is in charge of managing finances and statistics, is puzzled: "The explosion rate of skill books and transfer certificates has decreased, and equipment rarely explodes weapons." β
The value of equipment, in the case of the same quality and level, the highest is naturally various types of weapons, followed by shields, and then armor and other armor worn on the body.
Absolute C29 often visits the Phantom World forum, so I know some reasons: "Other novice villages have similar situations. It is said that the reward for the first pass of the dungeon is the best, and if you brush it after clearing the customs, the total income of the drop will decrease gradually, about 10% each time. Some players even make pessimistic estimates that after ten times, I am afraid that even killing the boss will be nothing. β
There are now nearly 100 million players in the Phantom World, and with such a large base, there will always be many lucky game masters in the novice village, and some dungeon maps have been accidentally discovered.
And they won't come up to attack the most difficult dungeon like Ning Yi, who has never played a virtual online game, so it is not impossible for them to clear the normal difficulty dungeon.
It's just that for now, only Ning Yi can do it for players who have cleared the novice village dungeon under the difficulty of finding death.
Clenched his fists and said angrily: "The system of this illusory world is too chicken thief, isn't it forcing players to keep discovering new copies?" β
The mode of farming the same boss to accumulate equipment and income in other virtual games is obviously no longer applicable in the fantasy world.
As the clenched fists thought, Phantom tends to encourage or force players to explore and experience the game's new maps and new content more often, rather than staying where they are and farming dungeons.
Ning Yi thought for a while: "Let's brush it again tomorrow, the income will be reduced to less than 70%, and it will not be cost-effective to fight the Wolf Demon Valley." β
In fact, Ning Yi felt that he couldn't stay in the novice village for a few days.
The day after tomorrow is Monday, and it is also the eighth day of the opening of the Phantom World server, which happens to usher in the first version of the big update.
After the update, players who have reached level 10 or above in the Phantom World can choose to leave the novice village and go to the surrounding county towns to develop.
In the fantasy world, the region where the player is located is also divided into levels, with a total of six grades: national capital, state, government, county, county, and village.
A novice village like Shochiku Village, which is as numerous as the stars in the sky, is basically a place for novice players before level 10 to become familiar with the Phantom World game as soon as possible.
If you really want to develop big, you still have to enter the big city.
After leaving the dungeon, there was still more than an hour before it went offline.
Fist clenched, they've all reached level 10 or higher, so it's time to consider a job change and try to make it happen before the version update.
"Master, I'm going to become a warrior."
Clenched his fists and finally made up his mind, because of his admiration for Ning Yi, he had thought about becoming a swordsman like Ning Yi.
However, through the past few days, he found that the most suitable fighting style for him was not the agility and elegance of a swordsman, but the charging into battle like a warrior, fighting for his life.
Ning Yi smiled and asked him, "Have you decided?" β
Clenched his fists and nodded seriously, he replied firmly: "I have decided, I want to become a warrior." β
Not only him, but the other members of the team have also chosen the direction of transfer that suits their own characteristics.
Absolute C29 is an assassin, braised pork rice to be a shooter, drizzle and rain chose a mage, and rare treasures needless to say, she decided early to be a shaman.
Even Mu Mu, who spoke the least, chose a priesthood profession.
In this way, the three major schools of martial arts, metaphysics, and Shenmen in the team are finally complete, and there is no shortage of them.
As long as the transfer is successful, the seven people can immediately form an iron triangle with a solid team structure.
"I haven't done the transfer task of metaphysics and Shenmen schools, so I can't give advice for the time being, but I can provide you with some help for the transfer of martial arts schools."
