Chapter 207: The Watchtower
Ten days later, Gao Fei returned to Shining Gold.
After the continuous summoning of the Psychic Tower, the number of dried corpse mammoths has reached about a thousand, and it is still continuing. Due to their presence, the entire town of Shining Gold has been repaired. With no players or NPCs to disturb you, this dilapidated town has become a war fortress-like existence.
The moat has also been doubled in size, and the water is drawn from the branch of the river that runs through the Twilight Forest, enough to defend against any attack.
Gao Fei was not in a hurry to lead the newly subdued Nagas to deal with the player.
He still has things to do.
Equip!
For the Scourge Legion, all the equipment can basically be produced and sold by itself, but the gap in weapons is very large, and it will not be able to fill it in a while.
The four-armed Naga is able to wield a bow made of Mithril.
This weapon can instantly double their attack power on the original basis. But...... Bowstrings, always a problem. Without a bowstring, even if the magic condenses into an ice arrow, it will not be able to shoot normally, so as to achieve super high damage.
This is the problem that Gao Fei is most hesitant about at present.
In general, in Planes, the process of making a bowstring is not difficult. Kill a monster, extract their tendons, place them on the bow, and a complete bow and arrow will be made.
But here's the problem.
In this case, it is really no problem to make a bow or two, but if there are a large number of them, it will not work at all.
So you still have to rely on buying from the outside world.
At that moment, Gao Fei set off from Shining Gold Town.
The outskirts of the Twilight Forest are in ruins, and the forest here has been completely burned down due to the fire half a year ago, and all kinds of wild monsters have disappeared. Therefore, players rarely come to level up and do tasks outside of the Twilight Forest, and this place has completely become a dead city.
After passing through Sentinel Ridge and Raven Ridge, he completely left the range of the Twilight Forest and went all the way north, without stopping, but it took three or four days to reach the Watch Fort.
The Watchtower is above the Land of Tears and the Polluter's Heights.
Both of these are level 120 creep maps, so many high-level players like to hang out here. Most of the wild monsters in the Land of Tears are mainly reptiles. Most of the wild monsters in the polluter heights are also dominated by some large carnivorous monsters, which are accompanied by some stone mallet ogres.
These creeps are melee units, so mages and archers are quite popular here. Coming here to buy a bowstring was naturally Gao Fei's preferred target.
Players go back and forth inside the Watch Castle.
Occasionally, one or two cyan-skinned, pointy-eared elves can be spotted. Most of the people here carry bows and arrows on their backs. From the smallest of the palm-sized crossbows to the largest and even the height of a man...... From the ordinary bows and arrows of the whiteboard to the legendary quality bows and arrows can be seen here.
"Smack!"
Half of the door was pushed open, ringing the bell on the tavern.
The tavern's name is Moongaze, which is very close to the name of the elves, and is one of the favorite among archer players.
Many people's eyes were on the door.
A player in a black cloak and a silver-white outfit slowly walked to the counter.
He is none other than Gao Fei.
Stopped at the counter and looked at the tasks on the blackboard.
Most of them are missions to form a team or hunt a certain type of monster......
"I want to post a task." Gao Fei said.
"Ten percent of the pay." The tavern's dwarf boss formulaically returned to the road. "The quest you posted will be visible in all the taverns throughout the Watch Castle. What kind of tasks would you like to post? ”
"Bowstring."
"What kind of bowstring?"
Not......
This stumped Guffy a little.
He wasn't a skilled archer, and he wasn't very proficient in making bowstrings from the tendons of any kind of monster. However, he still knew that the more strings that matched the level of the bow, the more powerful the bow and arrows could be made.
"The wild monsters near the Watch Fort are all level 80 at the very least." A player interjected. "The highest is one hundred and sixty."
"If you want to collect the bowstring, you'd better be within the range of this creature."
"The best is the Raging Rhino, a level 160 monster. Although it is not a boss, its tendons can even be used to make strings for gold-quality bows. ”
"The most inferior is the Lion and Tiger Fire Beast. A level 80 creep. At most, you can only craft silver-quality bows and arrows, but you don't have many additional attacks. ”
"I recommend that you choose the level one hundred and twenty swamp wind python."
The player who interjected said slowly.
As soon as he said this, Gao Fei thought about it.
Swamp Pythons are difficult creeps in the Land of Tears, with fast speed and high attacks, but few players are willing to deal with them. Because basically I don't explode any equipment, and my experience is only average. However, in the beginning, the Swamp Python was still frequented by many players, as many archer players needed their meridians as bowstrings.
But the market is always saturated!
Besides, not every level 120 player can have a silver-quality weapon. Therefore, the swamp wind python was hot for less than half a month, and then it went cold.
That was about four or five years ago.
At that time, Gao Fei had patronized the forum, and he vaguely remembered the advantages of making bowstrings from this swamp wind python meridian......
Increases the rate of fire by 50%, and has a chance to pierce.
These two attributes are something that every archer player loves.
"Okay, I'll post a mission to hunt the swamp boa. Each of the anaconda's meridians can be exchanged for five gold coins. If it is the meridian of the boss python, it can be exchanged for a hundred gold coins. Gao Fei threw over a bag of coins with a bang. Not much, only hundreds.
This action immediately made all the players in the tavern laugh.
"I thought he was a rich man, but it turned out to be one or two hundred gold coins."
"It's just, it's just laughing."
The players laughed.
Because the release task has a minimum asset limit, at least not less than 1,000 gold coins.
That's the amount of a millionaire for any player. You must know that even if you are a level 120 player, your normal assets will only be around fifty or sixty. According to a survey conducted by the official of "Plane", the average assets of the 4.9 billion players in the game are about 100 gold coins.
But in fact, it's just 'average'.
Just like in the real world, a beggar and a millionaire average 500,000 each. But is it really possible?
In Plane, except for a few players who are able to spend lavishly to get by. The rest of the people had to tighten their belts and carefully calculate the cost of supplies and equipment repairs...... to be able to earn one or two silver coins after fighting monsters every day.
"Does this count as money?" Gao Fei thought for a moment, took out a Mithril ingot from his backpack, and threw it on the counter.
This action immediately made the eyes of all the players present dumbfounded.
The price of a Mithril ingot in the market is as high as 100,000 silver coins, which is 1,000 gold coins. This kind of large-scale spending is not something that everyone can come up with.
"Count, it can be calculated completely according to the price on the market." The dwarf replied in a formulaic manner.
"In that case, I'll add an additional task. The meridians of an ordinary berserk rhinoceros can be exchanged for fifty gold coins, and if it is a boss, it can be exchanged for a thousand. ”
With that, Gao Fei took out a full twenty Mithril ingots from his backpack.
"The mission release cycle is only three days!"
"As soon as the three days are over, the mission is over."
Gao Fei said.
Almost as soon as the deal was completed, a subtitle immediately appeared on the tavern's blackboard - it was the task that Gao Fei had previously posted.
All the players in the tavern were boiling, and they didn't care about resting, and quickly formed a team and headed for the land of tears.
This is also deliberately done by Gao Fei.
He didn't have time to spend his time in the Watchtower. There are so many enemies you face that every minute counts. So he deliberately aroused the enthusiasm of many players, wanting to get more meridians of the swamp wind python in the fastest time.
Of course, there are many side effects of doing this, that is, it will be targeted by some people with bad intentions.
Even if he didn't look back, Guffy could feel the players in the tavern who were still there and hadn't left, and they were looking at him with a burning gaze - as long as they could hang themselves, they would be able to get quite a bit in return. This money is enough for them to change into a set of silver-quality equipment.
Such a huge stake is enough for them to risk attacking themselves.
For now, though, Guffy is not in danger.
for he was still in the Watchtower...... In any city, it is illegal to kill NPCs or players. So when it's really dangerous, it's likely to be the time when you're away from the Watch Fort.
But before coming here, Gao Fei had an idea.
He doesn't plan to leave town until the mission is over.
After all, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of being remembered by thieves.
"Hey, buddy...... What are you buying so many bowstrings for? The player who interjected earlier said. You're really rich, you can't buy it from reality, right? ”
In reality, it is also a common thing to buy.
Players can trade in the real black market, and every 1RMB can be exchanged for one silver coin...... Basically, big conglomerates, or some Gen X will do this. Although the official "plane" explicitly prohibits this kind of private transactions, it cannot supervise players all the time.
Gao Fei didn't speak.
If you talk too much, you will always let others find flaws to deal with yourself.
However, it seems that the player who interjected didn't look like a character who gave up so easily.
On the contrary, he immediately came up, looked around vigilantly, and then lowered his voice and said, "Dude, I have a deal, would you like to make a big deal with me?" ”
