Chapter 104: Side plot discovery
When the arena is first opened, it is necessary to give players four arena reward tasks to familiarize themselves with the system, and the extra bonus points are quite high.
Therefore, the five people simply take turns to compete in the solo competition, and only after completing the solo task can they team up for team battles.
Of course, in a solo match, in order to prevent players from swiping arena points, the system stipulates that only two players can compete with the same opponent, and when invited, both parties must take the initiative once, for example, two players A and B can only invite B once, and then B invites A once, and then if two people want to continue to fight, they must wait an hour.
The same goes for team battles, so if you want to earn more Arena Points, it's best to try to find other opponents on your own.
The fat man and the five of them teamed up to find a team opponent in the arena, and they played a total of four games, winning the first two games, losing the third game in the middle, and finally winning the fourth game, only after completing all four tasks in the arena, the arena points obtained were a total of 105 points.
In these four PK, the fat man found that the Venom Warlock profession had appeared in the two teams, and after coming out, the fat man also observed the battles of other teams, and also found that many Venom Warlocks were following the team PK, it seems that the strong auxiliary ability of this profession in team battles has been valued by players, so it seems that vulnerable groups such as Venom Warlocks have gradually found support.
However, the poison warlock still plays relatively little in the chaotic era, and most of them are still according to the classification of the legal profession for intelligence and spiritual points, like the fat man may add physique, but plus the lucky, I'm afraid there is only one fat man at present...... This is mainly due to the impact of some of the players' experiences during the closed beta, and now players play games, usually looking at which class is more powerful, but obviously, in the experience of the beta players, there are very few who say that the poison warlock is strong...... As a result, Fat Man has rarely encountered other Venommancer players since he started playing the game, and most importantly, in a team, you may see two Death Riders, two Berserkers, or two Rogues, two Dark Mages, but you will never see two or more Venommancer combinations!
Why is that?
Because the same Venommancer's skill cannot be stacked, that is to say, if a Venommancer loses a stinger skill on a monster, then another Venommancer's stinger skill will not be effective, and the slowdown effect and toxin damage are calculated according to the effect of one skill, not stacked!
This is also the reason why many teams are reluctant to form a Venomancer, and even if they do, they will only form one...... It's a bit embarrassing indeed...... After completing the task, they also came out, although Luo Luo, the little ghost, is still a little unsatisfied, but for everyone, now it's just a taste of freshness in the arena, if you want to brush up on high arena points, it's not a matter of a day or two, and now it's not in a hurry, it's better to level up first.
At the Arena Keeper's, the Fat Man looked at the items that could be redeemed.
There are quite a lot of types of items, but without exception, they all require high points, and now there are only a few things they can redeem for 105 points.
Among them, there is one thing that makes the fat man's heart very excited.
[Boiling Nibelungen Blood]: The blood collected from the Nibelungen Poison Lizard, a monster of the Chaos Legion, is boiled through a special pharmaceutical technique, which can increase the effect of continuous damage for a short period of time after use. Arena Points required for redemption: 80.
This kind of potion,It should belong to a special alchemy potion.,Whether players can make their own in the future is another matter.,But at this stage,It's definitely not.,It can only be obtained through this kind of exchange channel.,The description of the potion's surname is relatively vague.,The specific effect,The fat man doesn't know.,But if the estimation is correct.,The so-called increase in the effect of continuous damage,It can be effective through toxin damage.。
So, after thinking about it for a while, the fat man spent his points to exchange for a bottle.
Now everyone's points are not high, and if you want to exchange for more advanced things, the arena points you need are not a small amount, at least in the short term, it is impossible to achieve.
With this mentality, not only the fat man exchanged the Nibelungen blood, but the fate sky also exchanged what they could use.
What fate sky can exchange is a bottle of [Elementary Brute Bull Elixir], which can increase a certain amount of strength value in a short period of time, and improve a certain amount of stun resistance.
The fat man has played Berserker before, and he knows more about warrior skills, in fact, the power of the surname is not only related to the player's attack power, but also has a hidden surname, that is, the strength judgment.
For example, if the monster's strength value exceeds you, then it is possible that the grasp of death skill will fail to grab, because the system cannot be judged by strength, and even the Berserker's whirlwind slash skill is the same, when wielding a weapon to sweep, the monster whose strength is weaker than you may be knocked to the ground because of the sweep.
Hard stun is also a hidden genus value in the game, which is not easy to see when receiving low damage effects, but in boss battles, it is more obvious, that is, when receiving high damage, the player's body will involuntarily pause, and the skills that were originally intended to be released cannot be released.
In this case, it is serious to say that it is serious, and it is not serious, and there is nothing wrong with it, the key depends on when you have a hard stun...... These all kinds of hidden castes,All of them were slowly explored by players in later generations.,Some of them are really delicate in the chaotic era.,But in order to make it less complicated for players to watch their own surnames.,So these surnames are hidden.,Only those who observe carefully in battle.,Will see some doorways.。
The Crayon Knife is a bottle of Vampire Potion, which, when used, converts 25% of the damage into your own health when attacking the target within 6 seconds, which is a good life-saving potion if used well.
Only Luo Moling and Luo Luo are exchanged for mental power potions, and after using them, they can get additional mental power surname bonuses, which is the effect of indirectly increasing the recovery speed of mana in battle.
These potions are all of the primary category, so the arena points required for exchange are not high, all hovering around 80-90 points, and players who have completed the arena tasks can basically redeem the same.
"What now?" Luo Moling asked the fat man: "Let's talk about it first, I don't want to level up boringly!" ”
"Me too, me too!" Fate Sky said: "Two days ago, in order to rush to level 30, I was about to vomit blood, and there is no benefit for the dead riding profession!" You can still be lazy or something, I have to carry it every time......"
"Then let's farm the dungeon!" The fat man said: "The newly opened dungeon, the experience must be good, and now we are all in urgent need of skill books above level 30, and this skill is too few at present......"
For this, the fat man is the most deeply touched...... The fat man's proposal was naturally approved by everyone, but the question is, what copy is it good to brush now.
There are dozens of newly opened dungeons this time, and about level 30 can be brushed, about half, but the copy of the Holy Order Order's camp, of course, they can't brush it, but the dark council camp can be brushed, but the fat man is relatively unfamiliar with it, if you want to brush it, it is undoubtedly another journey to open up the wasteland, whether you are sure to fight it, or another story.
The public copy is the best choice, because when the fat man used to play Berserker, he also brushed it in the Holy Order Order's camp, but at that time, his Berserker had been practicing to more than level 80, and the public copy of more than 30 levels, even if he remembered, the impression was relatively vague.
And the most important thing is that public dungeons must not be brushed, because most of these public dungeons are team dungeons of 25 people, and if they want to brush them, they must also find a team to start a group together.
Although the dungeon has just been updated now, there must be a lot of players who want to get off the dungeon, and it's easy to find a team, but it's a big problem for a scattered team like Fat Man and them to get together and cooperate with the above, and playing a large dungeon, this is the kind of problem that I'm most afraid of.
So after thinking about it, the fat man thinks that it is better to find a small copy of the Dark Council camp to play with first.
The five of them excitedly reported the names of the dungeons they saw on the official website, and finally after sifting through them, they selected an intermediate dungeon: Rocky Mountain Outpost!
[Rocky Mountain, located in the Hengduan Mountains north of Asgarlord City, there is a huge goblin tribe living here, goblins are a huge race in the entire continent, although these goblins are ugly and despicable, but their vigorous reproductive ability has kept their numbers at a huge value, and the goblin knight race is a branch of the goblin race, and the goblin tribe living in the Rocky Mountain Hengduan Mountain is composed of goblin knights, They have a taller body and strength than ordinary goblins, and can domesticate some magical beasts in the Rocky Mountains as mounts, and their combat power is simply different from ordinary goblins.
And this Goblin Knights, because of their strong self-sustaining power, has always been dissatisfied with being ruled by the Dark Council camp, the Rocky Mountain outpost, was established to prevent their attack, but not long ago, the Supreme Council of Elders Observation Group found that the Rocky Mountain outpost was supposed to send back information once a week, but there was no news, so it suspected that something might have happened to the outpost, so it began to recruit warriors from the Dark Council camp to investigate. 】
This is the introduction of the content of the dungeon, but the main quest of the dungeon is obtained from Prince Rentsal.
Different from the original primary copy of the bandit camp, the intermediate and later dungeons have a main story, taking the Rocky Mountain outpost dungeon as an example, the main plot is naturally to eliminate the Goblin Knight culprit who caused the outpost to be destroyed.
But in fact, the dungeon after the intermediate level, it is no longer like the bandit camp dungeon, as long as you go all the way through the level to kill the boss, it will be over, and in the intermediate dungeon, there may be more side plot content, these side plot content, will affect the completion of the player's dungeon, and will also affect the player's final clearance evaluation.
The so-called clearance evaluation,It's a comprehensive value,According to the player's completion time,The degree of exploration of the side plot and so on to make an evaluation,The evaluation is divided into five levels:D,C,B,A,S,The lowest is D,The highest is S,The evaluation of different levels,The experience value awarded,Camp prestige value,And personal achievements,It's all different!
Yes, starting from the intermediate dungeon, players can already earn faction reputation points after completing the dungeon, and as soon as you connect it with the arena system that is open at the same time, you can roughly know where the official intentions are.
They are indirectly stimulating players to compete in PK...... At this point,The fat man thinks it doesn't matter.,That's how playing games is.,You can't be all day long.,Only fight with monsters.,But to interact more with players.,PK is also a kind of interaction...... After receiving the task, the five people prepared some medicines, and began to set off, the Rocky Mountains are a little far away, but everyone chatted while hurrying together, but they didn't feel bored, from level 10 to level 45 or so, the player's range of activity is roughly near Asgarlord City, and the farther map, it will not be contacted until around level 45, but at that time, the player can already get a mount, but it will not be unable to explore because of the long distance.
The scenery of the Rocky Mountains is a large area of verdant coniferous forest, and not long after stepping into a path into the mountain, I saw a blue magic vortex, which was the entrance to the dungeon.
After entering the dungeon, everyone stopped and looked at the fat man together.
"What do you want me to do?" The fat man was a little stunned.
"Command!" Luo Moling snorted and glanced at him: "Aren't you the captain?" How to complete this quest, you have to make an idea! ”
The fat man smiled bitterly: "You really look up to me, do you really think I'm an omnipotent master or what?" ”
"Isn't it?" Luo Moling said: "You are an internal beta player!" You only helped the Night Blood Guild pass the Hurricane Cave dungeon two days ago, so this kind of 5-person dungeon should be more difficult for you, right? ”
"That's the case, but I really haven't done this copy before!" The fat man has an urge to hit the wall, but he didn't expect a hurricane cave copy to be seen by everyone as an omnipotent beta player, but the fat man wants to complain, even if it is an insider player, it is impossible to play all the copies in that month's time, right?
I wanted to think so, but the fat man didn't want the copy to fail, so he pondered hard.
Don't get me wrong, what the fat man is thinking about is not the strategy of the Rocky Mountain outpost or anything, in fact, he doesn't have any content about the Rocky Mountain outpost at all, what he is thinking about now is about the side plot mining of the dungeon.
It's been a team together for so long.,The tacit understanding of the fat man and their team is almost the same.,If it's just for the sake of the dungeon clearance,,Then in the fat man's mind,There should be no problem.,But if you want to get better rewards,It's best to improve the completion of the dungeon.,That is, to dig out the side plots in the dungeon.。
Compared with the primary dungeon, intermediate, advanced, and even the highest world dungeon, the NPCs and monsters in it, the AI has been greatly improved, and some hidden quests, if you can find the corresponding items that trigger the quest, then hand them over to a specific dungeon NPC, and you may get side story quests.
Of course, how to dig up side quests is also a science, and the fat man has studied it before, although he doesn't know the specific content of the Rocky Mountain outpost dungeon, but the method of digging out the side plot is the same.
Since Luo Moling and the others are so confident in themselves, the fat man does not intend to live up to their trust, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Let's go first, let's see!" ”
The group walked along the forest path, but they didn't have long to go, when they were suddenly attacked.
It wasn't the imaginary Goblin Knights who attacked them, but the ...... Pitfall!
Walking in the front of the fate of the sky, I don't know what mechanism I stepped on, causing two rows of sharp wooden stakes to suddenly shoot out on the left and right, these wooden stakes are tied to the big trees on both sides with ropes, and as soon as they are activated, they immediately roar straight towards everyone!
"Oh my god!" Fate Sky screamed and was slammed into the stake.
Although the fat man walked behind, it was not much better, the stake trap came from both sides, and they couldn't hide at all!
The stake is naturally attackable, but I don't know why, but no one was killed by the attack of the stake trap, but everyone only had 10% of their own health left, no more, no less, just 10%.
In the midst of doubt, everyone got a prompt sound from the system.
"You triggered the trap of the Padoras hunter, you were attacked by the trap, and you are currently in a state of serious injury, please seek treatment as soon as possible."
This critical injury state is to reduce the player's surname by 15%, and at the same time reduce the movement speed by 40%, and the player's own HP recovery speed cannot work, even if you sit down and eat bread, it can't be recovered, it seems to be a special state.
In such a state, let alone killing the dungeon boss, it is quite difficult to even move...... Suddenly encountering such a situation, they were all dumbfounded by the fate sky, only the fat man sitting in front of the stage frowned slightly, and understood what was going on.
"Looks like we've met our first side story!" The fat man said: "Did you notice the system prompt just now?" ”
"You mean, what Padoras?" Fate Sky also reacted at once.
"Yes!" The fat man said: "It seems that in this dungeon, there are not only Goblin Knight tribes, but also other races and tribes living here, if my estimate is correct, if you want to relieve our serious injury state, you must find this so-called Pardoras tribe!" ”
Fate Sky They didn't know anything about this copy, so now they can only trust the fat man's judgment, Luo Moling asked, "Then how to find it?" ”
"Wait!" The fat man came up with such a word.
"Wait!?" Everyone looked at each other.
"That's right!" The fat man said: "The excavation of the side plot is generally related to the logic of people's thinking, if you are a hunter, what will you do after the trap is triggered?" ”
"I know, I know!" Luo Luo replied excitedly: "If I were a hunter, I would run to the place where the trap was set to see if any rabbits had been caught!" ”
Although Luo Luo's statement was indeed correct, the fat man still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, what kind of hunter would set such a thick stake trap to catch the little rabbit......
