Chapter 113: Parasitic Puppet Grass
There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, and the goods that different players see at the same hidden merchant will be a little different, and the reason for this difference, in addition to the level, is the player's reputation!
Fame is not like achievement points, which can be used to buy skills and many rare items, but it is also an important caste in the game.
As far as the Hidden Merchant is concerned, the higher the reputation of the player, the rarer items and items are likely to be spawned when talking to him!
Ye Chen is level 40, but his reputation value is already as high as 4860 points, so before coming to Merris, Ye Chen had a lot of expectations in his heart.
Of course, it's just an expectation, even if the reputation is high, the hidden merchant will not give the player 100% a particularly rare item, reputation is just a prerequisite, and more importantly, luck is still needed.
Most of the time, Ye Chen felt that his luck was still good, and when Ye Chen quickly browsed the items for sale at Merris, he found that his feeling was right, and his luck exploded today!
Hidden merchants, in general, there will be a series of goodies for sale, such as powerful potions, superb gold equipment, high-level magic scrolls, and various rare skills that make people look at them. Among them, powerful potions and high-level magic scrolls are the cheapest among the items and props sold by hidden merchants, and then gold equipment is not too expensive, but the average player, who is not stupid enough or needs them too much to complete any special tasks, will not buy these three things.
Almost all players, looking for hidden merchants, come for rare skills.
However, a hidden merchant, the number of refreshed goods is actually very limited, Ye Chen now opens the list of items sold by Merris, and only sees a total of ten items for sale, and the skill book is only a warrior's "Roar", a rare skill that increases physical attack power for himself and the players around him.
This Warrior skill costs 50 achievement points to purchase. 50 achievement points, in terms of the price of the skill book from the hidden merchant, is already the cheapest kind, and the more powerful skills are more expensive!
Achievement points are very precious and extremely difficult to obtain, although players upgrade all the way to level 120, starting from level 50, sweep all the tasks to level 120, and can also get about 150 achievement points, but 150 achievement points, there are not many things that can be done, most people, in the city archon, buy a few necessary professional skills, and the achievement points will be consumed.
Therefore, most players, even if they see a skill suitable for their use at the hidden merchant, they will not buy it casually, but it depends on how big the surname price ratio of the skill is bought.
And the hidden merchant, if you want to say that the surname price ratio is the highest, no matter who it is, it will say, it is the quest scroll!
In addition to powerful potions, superb gold equipment, high-level magic scrolls, various eye-catching rare skills and other items, players actually want to see the most in the hidden merchant, in fact, is the quest scroll!
When you buy a quest scroll, you can accept the quest, and when you complete the quest, you will be rewarded with more than the achievement points spent!
However, it is not easy to encounter a quest scroll at the Hidden Merchant, and it is even more difficult to encounter a suitable quest scroll, and this probability is much lower than encountering a superb skill book!
But when Ye Chen pulled Merris's list of props to the end, a quest scroll jumped into his eyes!
The quest scroll hidden from the merchant has a feature, that is, it will explain the task reward very clearly, and the quest scroll in front of him called "Lost Plant Skill", the reward on it firmly attracted Ye Chen's eyes!
Quest Scroll Name: Lost Plant Skill Quest Description: While researching an ancient plant fossil, Kenneth, the master plant, researched a special parasitic plant called the "Parasitic Puppet Grass", and even researched its seed cultivation method. Master Kenneth wants to teach this rare skill to a plant apprentice, and if you pass Kenneth's pre-set test before the time limit expires, you will be able to obtain this rare skill that has almost lost its inheritance, as well as the cultivation method of its seeds!
Mission duration: 30 days from the time of accepting the task.
Rewards: "Planting: Parasitic Golem Grass", "Parasitic Golem Grass Seed Cultivation Manual", Parasitic Golem Grass Raw Seeds, quantity of 50.
Quest scroll purchase price: 150 achievement points, 2000 gold, and the quest will be accepted after purchase.
"Parasitic puppet grass, it's really this skill!"
Looking at this task scroll, Ye Chen's eyes lit up!
Parasitic puppet grass, unlike parasitic hairballs, which are so rare that he has never even heard of them in the game, the skill of parasitic puppet grass still has some high-level botanists, but because of this, Ye Chen also knows what metamorphosis the parasitic puppet grass has.
Just like the name of the skill, Parasitic Golem Grass is a control skill that turns the enemy into a puppet, after learning this skill, when fighting the enemy, if certain conditions are met, you can use the Parasitic Golem Grass to control the enemy!
This enemy is not only a monster, but also a player! When the skill is low, you can only control some monsters, and after the skill is advanced, as long as you meet certain conditions, you can control the player's actions during the battle, and even after the player's level and skills are high enough, even the boss can be controlled!
Although it can only take effect on monsters in the early stage, it is not easy to control the player and the boss, but the parasitic puppet grass is undoubtedly a skill with great potential, you can imagine, when fighting with the enemy, suddenly control the opponent alone, beat the opponent in a hurry, caught off guard, and then lay the battle in one fell swoop, how refreshing it is!
Especially for Ye Chen, double-line and three-line, it's just a trivial matter!
Although the quest scroll was as high as 150 achievement points, and an additional 2,000 gold coins were required, Ye Chen didn't think too much about it and immediately bought the quest scroll.
System Tip: You spent 150 Achievement Points to purchase the quest scroll "Lost Plant Skill", and currently have 233 Achievement Points left!
With a shake of his hand, Ye Chen lost 150 achievement points!
This is an achievement point that an ordinary player can barely accumulate enough until level 120, but Ye Chen has no regrets about using it at all.
The chance to encounter such a superb quest scroll is hard to find, although 150 achievement points to buy a quest scroll is quite expensive, but after completing the task, in addition to obtaining a super rare skill, even the cultivation method of its seeds is in hand, and there is no worry at all.
System Hint: You have accepted the quest "Lost Plant Skill"!
System Prompt: The first part of the quest "Lost Plant Skill" is opened!
Lost Plant Skills, Ring 1: Go to the Eastern Mines, find the mine manager, Braque, and tell him about your coming to the test of Master Kenneth, and he will show you what to do next.
After buying the quest scroll, the quest is accepted immediately.
If he could, of course Ye Chen would choose to carry out this task later, but this was beyond his control, and if he didn't buy the parasitic puppet grass quest scroll now, he didn't know when he would have this opportunity again in the future.
However, Ye Chen is not worried about not being able to complete the task, like this quest scroll purchased from the hidden merchant, as long as it can be purchased, it means that it is possible to complete it at his level.
This kind of quest that doesn't state what to do at the beginning often has different things to do depending on the player's level. If you buy it but can't complete the task, it only means that the player's strength is not enough.
"Thank you, Mr. Merris."
Unexpectedly made such a gain, Ye Chen waved his hand excitedly at Meris and returned to the city with the return scroll.
After returning to the city, Ye Chen went to the forum for the first time to find news from the eastern mining area.
There are four major mining areas in the game, southeast and northwest, where 90% of the mining players in the game are gathered, Ye Chen and the four major mining areas have no intersection, only players who want to make some money mining in the mining area will go to these four mining areas.
Therefore, Ye Chen is almost going to a completely unfamiliar place now, so naturally he has to prepare first.
The four major mining areas have a special section in the forum, Ye Chen entered the mining area section, and before he started to look for information, he couldn't help but have a dark face when he looked at the chaotic posts full of pages!
Of all the forum boards he's visited, none of them are more chaotic than the forum boards in the mining area!
"Hanlin Guild, if you dare to appear in the western mining area today, Lao Tzu will let you all be wiped out, and there is a kind of bringing people over!"
"Thorny cucumber, you guy who has no son and no jj, blow up my backpack of mines, and you won't die well!"
"Professional hunters seek a group, PK has first-class skills, and has killed countless people in the mining area!"
"The 60~70 level area in the southern mining area, the coordinates (2555, 1996, 2012) have a lot of PK red names, and those who want to kill people and explode the mine are coming!"
…… At a glance, the entire section is almost full of PK-related posts, and Rao is Ye Chen, a guy who is used to seeing wind and waves, can't help but sweat profusely.
"These four major mining areas are inevitably making too much trouble now, right?"
Ye Chen was a little strange.
Although he has not been to the four major mining areas, in the past, he still knows a little about the four major mining areas. Although there are a little disputes from time to time because of mining, it is far from being as troubled as it is now, and the entire forum section is full of gunpowder, which shows how chaotic the four major mining areas are now.
Curious, Ye Chen opened some posts little by little and browsed them.
After spending half an hour, Ye Chen finally understood what was going on.
In the game, more than 90% of the ores are produced from the four major mining areas, especially high-grade rare ores, which cannot be mined elsewhere at all, and can only be obtained from the four major mining areas.
In the past, ores were basically used to make metal equipment for blacksmiths and armorers, but today, the game has evolved a little differently, and this difference has led to fierce competition for ores!
