Chapter Twenty-Three: Moon Lake
After coming to Wind Spirit City, Yang Cheng separated from Wu Qin and the others and walked to the pharmacy alone.
Wind Spirit City is the main city of the Wind Spirit Country, and it is also the largest city, and it has a strong European style as a whole, with high and thick walls, and guards on top, which only gives people a feeling of solidity. The city is extremely bustling, and although it is only the beginning of the game, it is already crowded with people, and the lively scene is simply breathtaking.
As the first consciousness online game, the impact of the new world is not covered, and walking in the city has a feeling of visiting the central mall in reality.
At present, all the facilities in the city are system buildings, and no players have stepped in, and the official has also deliberately left some empty land, even in the city center, just to let players compete and develop. It's just that at present, no one can afford these lands, after all, the official does not participate in virtual transactions between players, and no one provides them if they want to buy game currency, so it will take time to accumulate capital.
There is only one pharmacy in Wind Spirit City for the time being, Yang Cheng stepped into it, and found that it was even more crowded, and it was difficult to even walk to the counter, so he couldn't help but sigh, where did he experience such troubles during the internal test.
The palm rejection of the pharmacy was a white-haired old man, naturally an NPC, Yang Cheng talked to him, and looked at the list of items by the way.
Now at the beginning of the game, many novices may not know some valuable materials when they hit them, and there may still be some people who throw them into the pharmacy to exchange copper coins, and Yang Cheng found two kinds of them at a glance. But when he bought one of the materials, the other had already been bought, and there were too many people here, and it was impossible for good things to exist for too long.
The material Yang Cheng bought was 2 edelweiss vines, which were naturally medicinal materials, and the prefecture-level was second-class.
Newcomers often have the misconception that low-grade materials are useless and no one wants them. In fact, in the production process of many high-grade drugs, low-grade materials may even be used as the main materials, the difference is only that the number of high-grade materials used is small when refining drugs, while the number of low-grade materials is large.
The combination of materials is strange, and there is no fixed formula officially announced, so it is up to the player to figure out what drugs to make, and sometimes it is not surprising to use some obscure materials to make strange drugs.
Of course, the value of low-grade materials generally does not exceed that of high-grade materials, but there will be a large difference in the purchase price of the same grade of materials according to the known use. For example, although this velvet vine is a second-class prefecture, it has fewer provenances, and more importantly, there is a medicine that increases the damage of the mage's fire magic must use the velvet vine, and the mage is a mainstream profession, which will invisibly raise its value.
I scanned the list again, and found that there was nothing good, so I applied to the shopkeeper for the task of helping to collect medicinal materials, so I automatically learned the level 1 medicinal material collection technique.
Although there is some reward for this task, it is very small, and the main purpose is only for the purpose of medicinal herb gathering. In fact, not everyone who learns the collection of medicinal materials wants to be an alchemist, but when they encounter rare medicinal materials, if they don't have the collection technique, they can only stare dryly, which is a necessary skill.
Yang Cheng had never learned this art before, because his purpose was not to play games, but only to practice archery. But this time is different, whether it is the collection of medicinal materials or the collection of minerals, he must learn.
Leaving the pharmacy, Yang Cheng went to a large medicinal field not far from Wind Spirit City, which was the destination of the mission, all of which were worthless low-grade medicinal herbs, and they grew (that is, refreshed) extremely fast, which was the most suitable for players to practice gathering.
There's only one way to level up your Gathering Technique, and that's through Constant Gathering. The experience value depends on the level of the herbs, the higher the level of the herbs collected, the more experience, and vice versa, and even after the level reaches a certain level, it is completely useless.
When Yang Cheng came to the medicine land, there were also many people working hard here, and he also joined in. But soon he saw a familiar figure, and he returned to autumn.
The equipment of the wonderful hand is still so shabby, not only is there not a single green outfit, but it is also level 5 equipment, I'm afraid she hasn't been able to upgrade to level 10, which is indeed too slow. Even if you practice gathering, you have to raise your character level.
"See you again, you're really trying."
Yang Cheng walked behind Miaoshou Huiqiu and patted her.
Miaoshou Hui Qiu was taken aback, she was so focused before that she didn't realize that there was someone behind her, and quickly turned her head at this time. Her appearance is a beauty, but there is still a certain gap from Wu Qin's pure and delicate face, and her figure is more mature than Wu Qin, and the tight knight's breastplate seems to be about to be unable to wrap it.
At this time, her face was quite pale, and her eyes were a little red and swollen, as if she had just cried. This couldn't help but surprise Yang Cheng, and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes, smoked by medicine?" ”
"I didn't ...... No. Miao Shou Hui Qiu was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly wiped two handfuls with his hands. But she didn't know that there was dirt left on her hands just now, and this wipe made her suddenly become a big flower face, which looked very cute.
Yang Cheng frowned, this girl must have suffered some grievances, but he didn't ask directly, but brought it to the topic of collection: "I just learned to collect, come and practice your hands, or you can pass on some experience." By the way, what level of Gathering are yours? ”
"Level three."
"Level 3?!"
Yang Cheng was taken aback, it was not easy to upgrade the collection technique, she was promoted to the third level in more than a day, this girl is really persistent, no wonder her level is not high.
However, Yang Cheng was a little puzzled: "I shouldn't have much experience practicing the third-level collection technique here, right?" If I'm not mistaken, it would be most efficient to go to Moon Lake to pick stars. ”
Miaoshou Huiqiu didn't answer, but the two little hands began to pull the corners of their clothes, and their faces also changed a little, which was a kind of helplessness.
Yang Cheng's eyes rolled for a while, and he could probably guess what the situation was with Miaoshou Huiqiu, and immediately waved his hand: "Hehe, in fact, I also want to go to Moon Lake, although Xingling is a second-class medicinal material at the prefecture level, it will be very difficult for me to pick it, but the scenery there is good." Let's go, come with me, okay? ”
The highest level of the first-level collection technique can only collect second-grade medicinal materials at the ground level, but the success rate is very low, and it takes a long time. If it is just for practice, it is undoubtedly much more reliable in this medicinal land.
But the magic hand is different, she is already level three, and she should take medicinal materials of the level of poisonous dragon grass to upgrade faster, but her character level is too low, and it will be dangerous to go to a place with that kind of medicinal materials, so Moon Lake is the best choice, and it is closer to the city.
"No, I'm not going." The wonderful hand shook his head vigorously.
"For what?"
Miaoshou Huiqiu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "There are a few people there who don't let me pick it, saying that they will kill people from the Medicine Alliance when they see them, and I died once just now." ”
"You're from the Pharmaceutical Alliance?"
At this time, Yang Cheng finally noticed that there was a white sleeve on the arm of Miaoshou Huiqiu, which was indeed the symbol of the Pharmaceutical Alliance.
There weren't many guilds in the new world during the internal testing, and the Pharmaceutical Alliance was one of them. And this guild, as its name suggests, only accepts alchemists, and their purpose is also very clear, they want to monopolize the drug market. Although there will definitely be competitors after the open beta, they will start faster with their previous experience, and now they are even recruiting members before the guild is built.
However, Yang Cheng knew that the Dao Medicine Alliance was not a junior or above alchemist, so now it seems that it is just a netting policy. Make a verbal promise first, and then look at the abilities of these alchemists, and then select the best to be selected into the guild.
After all, it is difficult to move up the level of an alchemist, and this does not depend on pharmaceutical experience, but requires inspiration. If you are unlucky, you will not even be able to pass the stage of apprenticeship to the beginner, and many people will have to choose to give up because they can't persevere.
Therefore, to be precise, Miaoshou Huiqiu is not a member of the Pharmaceutical Alliance.
"Aren't you, people say they want to kill the people of the Medicine Alliance, won't you take off your sleeves and it's over?" Yang Chengdao.
"But the person who accepted me said that as long as you are willing to join the Pharmaceutical Alliance, you must wear a sleeve."
"You're honest." Yang Cheng stretched out his hand to stroke his forehead, and the wonderful hand returned to Qiu was too dead-eyed, maybe this came from a sense of belonging after finding the organization.
However, Yang Cheng was more inclined that she was brainwashed by the guy from the Pharmaceutical Alliance, and she felt how glorious she was, but in fact, it was still unknown whether she could even enter the Pharmaceutical Alliance.
"If you take it off, no one will know about it, it doesn't matter."
Under Yang Cheng's persuasion, Miaoshou Huiqiu finally reluctantly took off the sleeve, and then followed Yang Cheng to Moon Lake.
Moon Lake is a lake in the east of Wind Spirit City, and as Yang Cheng said, the scenery here is quite beautiful. The whole lake is oval-shaped, and there is an island in the center of the lake, and you can see some blooming white flowers, which are reflected on the aqua blue surface of the lake, floating with the waves, and looking beautiful.
This island is actually a business place for some players who are engaged in builders, especially those who are good at shipbuilding, because there are many couples who like to go to the island at night to experience the feeling of spending the moon before and after, and the ferry business is really hot.
It is no wonder that the scenery of the Moon Lake at night is more beautiful than during the day, when the stars and the moon appear, the stars by the lake emit a little starlight, and the reflection of the stars in the sky in the water complement each other, making the whole lake covered with a layer of dreamlike colors, making people forget to return, only to suspect that they are in heaven.
At the beginning of the game, there is no builder who can build a ship, so if you want to get to the island, you can only swim, and if you just come to fall in love, it will be a little harder.
Of course, in addition, Moon Lake is also a level 10 leveling area, farming a monster called Moon Wolf. The number of moon wolves is small, the outbreak rate is not high, and the defense is not weak, so it is not a good monster farming object, but at this time, it seems to be very lively, mainly because of the starry food produced by the lake.
Xingling is definitely not a rare medicinal material, and it is not very useful, but Xingling in Moon Lake grows fast, and it is quite good to practice gathering techniques.
"Who was the person who killed you just now?"
Yang Cheng didn't start collecting after he came to Moon Lake, as if he was here to seek revenge.
