233 unstoppable "Secret Shadow" guild

"How many people have left the island now?" Wutong asked a little nervously.

"Not a few!" The lion frowned and said: "The outlying island quest is actually very simple, as long as you can bring back a skeleton of an undead creature from the ruins as evidence, and complete the energy injection quest, so a large number of players have already completed this quest." ”

He paused and hesitated, "But I suspect it's not a good thing to leave the island too early!" ”

Wutong froze: "Why?" ”

"Boss, you should know that the game mode of Endless is different from most traditional online games, right? In Endless, there is no rigid task system that is limited by the system everywhere, so no matter how you complete the task, it is feasible, and you don't need to complete the task step by step like in traditional online games! ”

Based on his own game experience, the lion analyzed: "However, according to the realism of "Endless", do you think that the reward that can be obtained by picking up a bone and returning it to the business can be the same as that of opening up the ruins?" ”

Wutong understood, the lion means, as long as you hand over the bones to complete the task, compared to the trial task of the island, it seems to be too easy, it is said that there are many players who have entered the ruins, bring back a lot of bones to sell, as long as you spend a few silver coins to buy a bone, you can complete the task, and the difficulty of the task is not high yet.

"And I doubt that this outlying island mission has a degree of mission completion! Don't forget, what are we players called among NPCs? Trialist! And what are these Endless Islands called? Island of Trials! In other words, the purpose of us players coming to these Endless Islands is to conduct a probationary trial before the official inauguration. ”

The lion said a little excitedly: "If you buy a skeleton, you can complete the task, but there is definitely not much mission completion, and the rewards you get are naturally very poor, and if we complete all the trial tasks on the trial island, and then go to pick up the outlying island tasks, and get a very high degree of completion in the task of exploring the ruins, is the task reward very strong?" ”

"In theory, that's true"

Wutong thought about it against some of the things he saw from the strategy, and felt that what the lion said was not wrong, and there is no so-called "first place reward" in the game "Endless", and it doesn't matter if you go out early and go out later.

Leaving the Trial Island early is nothing more than one step ahead of others to get in touch with the blank market on the continent on the other side of the sea, but the problem is that the accumulation on the Trial Island is not enough, even if that continent is a huge cake, the appetite is too small to eat much, and even the cake will choke to death!

Why did the official set up a novice village like the Endless Islands on the premise of a traditional online game novice village, which is equivalent to an enlarged version?

In order to expand a small environment that is larger than the novice village based on the novice village, but smaller than the entire "Endless" world, so that players can adapt to the world of "Endless" as much as possible, the official painstaking efforts to do so are nothing more than because "Endless", a new concept online game that is very different from the traditional online game in terms of style and concept, can be gradually accepted by players.

However, players in the Asian and American regions, who are accustomed to fast food online games, always feel that "what's so fun about the novice village?" Just a few minutes away from the newbie village! Under this concept, there are naturally many players who pursue the level and strive to leave the trial island as soon as possible, but the moment they leave the trial island and really set foot on the other side of the sea, they will know what a nightmare is, and then they will complain that the game is too difficult, right?

Wutong, who wants to understand the key to it, suddenly sympathizes with the official R&D personnel who will be scolded by players no matter what they do, the setting is too simple, and the handicapped online game is scolded, the setting is too difficult, and the psychological change is scolded, and you can't afford to hurt the game that pursues rationality and authenticity! You can't even survive the infinitely simplified game world, Nima is dead! Playing a hairy game, huh?

"Is there any information sent by players who have already left the island about the other side of the sea?" Sycamore asked curiously. ,

"Yes! And much more! ”

The lion couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the posts he saw in the official community: "Now the official community has already quarreled, some remind players who haven't left the island not to leave the island in a hurry, and some describe the outside of the island as full of gold, encouraging players to leave the island quickly." ”

"How so?" Sycamore was a little dumbfounded.

"It's very simple.,Of course, if you find yourself fooled, you're going to pull other people into the water.,It's better to be happy alone than to be happy.,Some people's psychology is so changeable.,Now the two factions are quarreling in the official community.,Persuade players not to rush to leave the island The faction that scolds and encourages the player to leave the island has bad intentions.,And the faction that instigates the player to leave the island.,Scold and persuade the player not to leave the island The faction has ill-intentioned intentions and wants to monopolize the resources outside the island."

The lion spread his hands helplessly and said, "Are the resources outside the island so easy to occupy?" I don't think so! As far as I know, there are no guilds with a bit of power, none of them are in a hurry to leave the island, and they are desperately accumulating strength, but there are many scattered players and small players vying to leave the island. ”

"I also suggest that our people should all complete the apprenticeship before leaving the island! Although you can officially find a job without taking a job [trainee occupation], the official will definitely not take off your pants and fart, and make a useless [trainee occupation] in one fell swoop, and if you take a job [trainee occupation] and then take a job [formal occupation], the benefits will definitely be more than direct employment [formal occupation]! ”

Uncle said very calmly, although he hadn't been exposed to many games before, but during this time, as long as he was free, he was studying the information of "Endless" against time, and now theoretically, he knew much more than the game Wutong.

"This is equivalent to going to a preschool before going to primary school to lay a foundation, although I can't see any strong effect in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, some people with a good foundation will naturally take advantage of some people with a weak foundation because the foundation is solid enough."

"According to my speculation, the quest to explore the ruins, in fact, we are too advanced, as long as we get the undead bones to hand over the quest, there is nothing wrong with leaving the island itself, but the higher the progress that can be explored, the more rewards we will get."

Uncle said: "So, on the premise that we complete all the trial tasks on the trial island, we will increase the progress of the ruins as much as possible, I estimate that it will take a week of reality, that is, about twenty days in the game, a week earlier to leave the island and a week later to leave the island, for us who have a lot of savings, it will not affect anything." ”

"Yes, although we only have more than a hundred people, but in terms of equipment, skills and strength, they are several times more than ordinary players, and after such a period of training, their skills and tacit understanding are not bad, no worse than some old players."

The lion also said: "In addition, we are taking an army-style route, and the requirements for personal skirmisher skills are not so high, even against the elite groups of large guilds, with our equipment and resources, it is not a problem to kill twice as many enemies as us." Rather than leaving the island too early and entering the big world on the other side of the sea to be abused by high-level monsters, it is better to stay in the small world of the Endless Islands for the time being and continue to improve your strength. ”

Wutong nodded, since everyone agreed to lay a good foundation and leave the island, it would be simple, but with their current strength, it is impossible to completely open up the ruins, and it seems that they can only start by completing the trial task as much as possible.

The lion reported: "Because we don't have many people, so we only need to complete one island of the trial mission, I suggest that we focus on the island of Ogarus, after all, it is our birthplace, Bahadiga Island has now become the island of the dead, it is difficult to say whether doing tasks on it can be regarded as completing the trial mission!"

While you'll have to explore the underground ruins of Ogarus Island again, it's easier than exploring Bahadiga Island, which is full of mountains and a sea of skeletons.

The trial mission in the Endless Islands region is nothing more than exploring the forests on the island, clearing the aboriginal tribes and pirate islands, and exploring the forest. The goblin leader of the big stick unified the goblin tribes in the forest, and we almost turned the forest upside down, except for some powerful aboriginal tribes and dangerous ruins that we didn't dare to approach. ,

Now what we have to do is to clear the barbarian villages, bandit lairs and small groups of pirates on the Haisha Plain, if I guess correctly, that pirate island may be an additional question, and the remains of the underground temple, it is not at all something that players during the trial period can deal with, if we complete the trial mission on Ogarus Island, our trial mission completion should be able to reach 100%, plus the attack on the pirate island, I estimate that the completion can reach more than 120%! ”

There is no hard and fast rule on what tasks must be completed during the trial process, and it completely depends on the player's own experience, and finally the all-knowing and all-powerful core consciousness god will evaluate the task and issue rewards.

Although he has not yet gone to the City Lord's Mansion on Ogalus Island to receive the trial mission, according to his judgment and estimate, he can complete 50% of the exploration of the forest, 50% of the clearing of the sea sand plain, and finally go to the dungeon in the center of the island to retrieve the bones of the undead as a certificate, and he will be able to complete the trial mission perfectly.

And the difficulty of attacking Pirate Island and exploring dungeons is too high, and it is not at all something that players in the trial period can complete, if it is also done as a trial task, the island task is counted as a one-star difficulty, attacking the Pirate Island is counted as a three-star difficulty, and exploring the dungeon is counted as a five-star difficulty, no matter which one is completed, you can get 100% completion, but the evaluation of the trial tasks of the two after completion will be higher, if you do all three tasks 300%?

"Okay, then let's temporarily explore the forest and clear the sea sand plain as the goal, if you have time and strength is enough, we will also knock down the pirate island, and then consider whether to explore the dungeon, I estimate that when we clear the sea sand plain, the equipment on the body is almost enough to reach the limit of the trial island, and it is also possible to challenge the pirate island, and if you really accidentally knock down the pirate island, it is estimated that the equipment situation will be able to challenge the ruins again"

Wutong said a little greedily: "If you complete these tasks during the trial period, it is not more cost-effective than going directly to the other continent, anyway, we can end the trial period at any time, and send more people to keep an eye on the situation of those players who have gone to the other continent, or simply we will send a few scouts over to see the situation first, and our large troops will stay on the island to complete the task first, if there is a chance to have time, not to mention Ogarus Island, we will even complete the trial tasks of Bahadiga Island and other trial islands, It doesn't increase completion, but the rewards are double! ”

The uncle nodded: "I'll arrange the advance team in a while." ”

Wutong had just heard the lion mention the goblins, and couldn't help but be curious: "Hasn't the big stick been able to rise to the goblin chieftain yet?" ”

The lion shrugged his shoulders: "We helped it lay down more than a dozen goblin villages, although it now has twenty or thirty thousand goblins under its command, but it can only be regarded as the leader of the [village], and it is still far from the [tribe] chieftain, I estimate that this goblin is also a hidden mission?" With our strength and equipment, it may be a bit difficult to help it defeat the tribe. ”

Is it another late-stage mission?

You said that a novice map, what to do with so many super difficult tasks, if there is no hope at all, forget it, but the strength of their team, for various reasons, seems to be a little ahead, and they have the opportunity to challenge in advance, if it goes on like this, when did they come out of the trial island?

Wutong decided to be a little worried, first send the scouts of the advance team to leave the island to see the situation, if the situation is not right, directly complete the mission on the island, and then take the time to return to the trial island to complete these pit tasks.

These tasks can only be completed by the combatants of the Sycamore, not the Uncle, and they will not leave the Endless Islands for the time being, because they will stay here to meet the second wave, the third wave, and even the possible fourth and fifth wave of players.

After operating for so long, the territory of the Endless Islands, whether it is the "Secret Shadow" Guild or the "Islands Chamber of Commerce", will not give up easily, not to mention, the business license certificate of the "Islands Chamber of Commerce" can only take effect if it is limited to the Endless Islands region.

Now that the Endless Islands have made it clear that they can come back in the middle and late stages, Uncle has decided to build the Endless Islands region into a huge logistics base and raw material supply base for the "Secret Shadow" guild.

That's the raw materials purchased by nearly 10 million gold coins, and this number is also increasing with the expansion of the power of the "Secret Shadow" guild, as well as the increase in the number of craftsmen under it, and the increase in the output of various consumables.

Because of the early start, within the influence of the "Secret Shadow" guild, more than eighty percent of the casual players who were lucky enough to obtain [professional] and [craft] skills were signed into the name of the "Secret Shadow" guild, and the remaining two percent were either unwilling to be a production profession or recruited by other player guilds.

However, the fool also knows that the general guild simply does not raise too many craftsmen, and recruits a small number of them, just to provide the needs of the internal members of the guild after they are cultivated, and the internal supply is not enough, so don't expect to sell them for export.
