Chapter 9: The Proving Ground

There is an open space in Niutou Village, which players use as a trading market to set up stalls to buy and sell various items.

However, in the early days of the game, there were not many good things, and most of the equipment sold in the booth was some ordinary equipment or ordinary materials, and the equipment of good products was rare, and there was no high-quality one, and it could not be said that there was none, but most of the players with good quality equipment used it themselves, and they were reluctant to sell it.

"Come and see, come and see, the boutique attack vampire ring, the powerful equipment of melee players, this is the only one, there will be no such shop after this village."

A shout drew all the players over.

There was a lonely ring on a humble stall, and everyone gasped when they saw the attributes.

Ring of the Beastmaster: Boutique

Attack +5

Lifesteal +2%

Equipment Restrictions: Level 7

"Plus attack and vampire, the best attributes!"

"It's the first time I've seen a boutique ring, rings, bracelets, necklaces, and other jewelry with a very low explosion rate."

"Friend, how much does your ring sell?"

Zhao Shun said: "This ring is not sold for money, only for weapons, with piercing weapons." ”

"With a penetrating weapon? It's a rare thing. ”

A burly strong man hesitated and walked out: "I have a good penetrating weapon, I don't know if you want to change it?" ”

Zhao Shun groaned: "Good product? I'll take a look first. ”

The strong man took out a one-handed sword with a flickering cold light from the package, and Zhao Shun's eyes converged on the sword and saw its attributes.

Assassination Blade: Good Product

Attack +15

Penetration +10

Equipment Restrictions: Level 6

The strong man seemed to want Zhao Shun's Beastmaster Ring very much, and said, "If you are willing to change it, I can add some more money." ”

"How much?"

"Ten silver coins."

Ten silver coins is already a lot, Zhao Shun has fought so many monsters, and it is only a little more than 3 now, but he feels that the price can be raised a little more, so he said: "Ten is too little, I will change twenty." ”

The strong man gritted his teeth: "Okay!" Wait a minute, I'll borrow some from a friend. ”

If you talk about the attribute value, the assassination blade is much higher than the ring of the beastmaster, but the weapon has a high explosion rate, so it is not rare, as long as you have money, you can buy it, and the jewelry is different, the explosion rate is low, and the attribute is even less, sometimes you can't buy the right one with money, so the strong man will agree to Zhao Shun's condition and add twenty more silver coins.

After a while, the strong man came back and brought back enough money, and after trading with Zhao Shun, he got the ring of the beastmaster, and with an excited face, he couldn't wait to put it on his hand.

With the Assassination Blade, Zhao Shun no longer needed the iron sword given by the system, and sold it to the NPC for a few copper coins.

Coming to the grassland again, Zhao Shun randomly chose a Mengya beast for experimentation, swung his sword and slashed, and a damage number floated above the monster's head, no longer -2 or -3 but -25, this is the reason why Zhao Shun wants to penetrate the weapon, penetration can ignore the equal amount of defense, that is to say, now he attacks monsters with defense equal to or lower than 10, the damage will not be reduced, and the attack power can hit as much damage as possible.

However, although the basic attack damage has increased, Zhao Shun is still very brittle, and he was pushed by the sharp horns of the Mengya beast, and immediately lost more than a dozen points of blood, for Zhao Shun, who only has a total blood volume of 100, this time it hurts a little.

The tip of the sword drew a Z word, -30, -35, after using the skill, Zhao Shun wanted to dodge, he was still a little unwilling, and wanted to try whether the injury-free play was effective, but the result disappointed him, he had not yet run out of the attack range of the Monya beast, and his back was pushed again, without agility, he couldn't run fast after all.

Since the no-injury fighting method does not work, he can only carry it hard, and Zhao Shun slashed a total of five times during the cooldown of the second stage of the slash, and then killed the Mengya beast.

Looking at your own blood volume, there is only a little bit left, and you will die if you are pushed twice, and if you don't open the outbreak, it is really difficult to kill monsters alone.

……

Another Mengya beast fell, Zhao Shun upgraded, upgraded to level 8, and when he reached this level, he could get a copy, there was a low-level copy near Niutou Village, called the Abyss Mine, and the access level was level 8.

Before going, Zhao Shun had to find a team first, he couldn't brush it alone, and he had to have the help of his teammates.

The entrance of the Beginner's Village Proving Ground is crowded with players who are ready to team up for the next dungeon.

"Abyss Mine Cave Reclamation Team, 4 is missing 1, a bronze-level tank."

"Abyss Mine Flat Push Team, 2 is missing 3, come with three silver outputs."

Seeing that there was a lack of output in the team, Zhao Shun stepped forward and said: "Group me one, I am a melee output." ”

The group was opened by a well-armed T, who wore a piece of chain mail, although some old but not broken, with a sword and a metal shield behind him, and looked somewhat like a knight in the European Middle Ages.

This man is about the same age as Zhao Shun, with a resolute face, he looked Zhao Shun up and down, observing the quality of the equipment, when he saw that Zhao Shun only had weapons on his body, and the clothes he was wearing were still the shabby cloth clothes given by the system when he was born, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Take a look at the badge." The young man said.

"Badge?"

"You don't even have a badge, do you? My group is a flat push team, not a wasteland team, and the output must be strong, and the level is at least silver. ”

"There's a badge in the game?"

"The badge is something added during the open beta of the game, and its function is to identify the strength of the player, which is divided into five levels, from low to high, which are bronze, silver, gold, dazzling star, and matchless."

Zhao Shun smiled apologetically: "It seems that the game information I read missed these, sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, by the way, just ask, how do I get the badge?" ”

The young man pointed to the proving ground behind him: "You can test your strength inside, generally the bronze badge can be obtained as long as you are not a game idiot, it is relatively difficult to get silver, as for gold, only a small number of people in the whole game have it, don't think about it, it is impossible to get it in the early stage of the game without the best equipment." The higher the level of the badge, the easier it is to form a team, like the Abyss Mine, if the whole team is a silver-level player, the success rate will be high, on the contrary, the bronze team will be very difficult, like clearing the wasteland. ”

"Thanks for the pointers."

After saying that, Zhao Shun walked into the trial ground, since you have to have a badge to form a team, then let's take a test.

Looking at Zhao Shun's departing back, the beautiful female player next to the young man asked him, "Honey, do you think he can get the silver badge?" ”

The young man shook his head: "His equipment is very average, he shouldn't be able to get it, but it should be no problem to get a bronze." ”
