The presence of other players

Claire's character is drawn in the work! (2/3)

――――

With 1,800 gold coins set aside from the vault to build a standard 3×3 prison, Claire was finally relieved to have a steady supply of troops, and Cynthia seemed to be slightly satisfied. Although Shirley's unreasonable slaughter of the village before made Cynthia very satisfied, Shirley is still a lord after all, and a lord can be reckless but must not ignore construction.

Let me ask, if you follow a master who doesn't know anything and just wants to do it, do you immediately have the urge to overthrow this guy and take the position himself? Anyway, Shirley still retains her basic sanity, and after slaughtering a village, she cleanly moves all the loot back to the lonely valley and begins to repair.

"Shirley... Master, I have news here that there is a human city outside the mountains of a Destiny similar to you, Master, and that city is called 'Rift City'. ”

The unprofessional witch had a somewhat provocative tone but Miss Zombie Lord did not react, her attention was focused on the news, completely ignoring the voice that even a woman could pull into the depraved **.

"Destiny One, is that how you describe us?"

If that's the case, wouldn't it be 10,000 Destiny Makers if the open beta is opened in the future? Shirley is still very curious about this, she is really playing this game and not just to vent, she wants to explore the things of this world, and Cynthia did not live up to Shirley's expectations and told a story.

"My lord, this is a very important thing, and our general name for you is: the one who has been caught up in fate, which means that your fate is uncertain, and you can die by many strange means to be resurrected at a terrible price, but it is still a resurrection. Some people say that people like you are the chosen people of Io, but this statement does not carry much weight in the caster's circle, and you are forsaken by fate, which is correct. ”

Cynthia didn't look like an NPC either, like a real mage, looking at Shirley's face with eager eyes, and you could feel the eagerness of the scientist who wanted to dissect the zombie lord in front of her.

"Abandoned by fate? Can we be resurrected even if we die? ”

The difference in this game is that if you die you will be thrown into a terrible space, such as hell, such as the elemental realm, the player's character is a real life in this world, if you die it means the end of your character's life, you have to be resurrected in the same way that the NPC is resurrected, or you sacrifice all your levels and get the perks to start all over again, this terrible punishment is also a part of the test that must be carried out in this game.

This is not a bizarre thing, this level of authenticity of the game must be tested in the internal test to see if the players resist this harsh death punishment, according to Shirley's personal understanding, the player's death penalty will probably be slightly reduced when the server is opened.

"Of course, especially you, my lord, my master, you are a Destiny, the most special group of people among the forsaken."

Shirley blinked, she didn't understand, everyone is a player, why is she a little different?

"I don't know if you've ever heard the story that when the goddess of fate decides a person's fate for good or bad, she throws a coin. The coin has the goddess of luck on the front and the goddess of bad luck on the reverse, and when it lands, the obverse means that the person will have good luck, and the reverse side means that the person will have bad luck. There's no way for the Forsaken to get this chance of being coin tossed, but I guess the perfect performance of your first mission pleases a certain deity... She puts you where the coin was tossed. ”

Cynthia smiled softly, and the woman's eyes showed terrifying ambition.

"And such people are called ordained ones, and from what I know about the history of the gods, there are probably only a few hundred of you outcasts who have this honor. And the Provident... Hehehehehe, the goddess of fate tossed the coin ......"

The witch's eyes turned grim as if she were looking at a great piece of research material.

“… The coin stood on the table, no fall, no plus/minus, no ending. What the hell are you, dear master? Your luck is terrifying, and you must have completed two missions in a row flawlessly, making a god look up to you. ”

Roughly understood, anyone who completes the beginner's initial task perfectly can get a random buff, good luck or bad luck, but their luck is obviously a bit against the sky, and the coin is directly put on the table-

"Understood, then you said that there is a Destiny similar to me?"

Can this witch know the future? That's, isn't it?

To Shirley's surprise, Cynthia laughed and shook her head.

"We have a sense of the birth of every Destiny, as if we have found our own master. This time, I felt an outcast with no less potential than your master, and moreover, more ordained people were also nearby, which was a hazy sense. ”

Induction? It seems that you should keep this in mind, and see if you can block the enemy's induction when you sneak up on others in the future. After Shirley remembered it, she asked curiously, "Cynthia, why do we play in this area... There are so few abandons, and I haven't seen any other abandons so far. ”

Although the closed beta is said to be an internal beta, there are actually more than 100W players in this game world, and the game is currently open to 50 regions, and the area where Shirley is located is called [Lonely Mountain], and the creature camp is biased towards order neutrality and chaos neutrality. It stands to reason that there is at least one 2W player around here, right? But so far, there are very few players in the Lonely Mountain area, and most of the villages in other regions are also players, which is as deserted as the village that Shirley Tu just now.

"Each region has a challenge level, for example, the challenge level of the Mordor region in the north is 0.5, which means that a team of 5 people in the rookie group who has not upgraded the level and has not obtained a career can also mix well. And the challenge level in the Rohan area is level 1, which means that you need at least +1 profession to mix anywhere, and the challenge level in the Lonely Mountain area has reached level 1.5, which means greater danger, and it takes at least three teams of +1 professionals to hunt and explore in this vicinity, my master, there are more than 10 challenge levels 2 and 6 challenge levels 3 in the Lonely Mountain area, and it is also the only way to get to the lowest challenge level 5 of Isengah. ”

It turned out that the difficulty was too high, and the people in the lonely mountain area were almost hanging?

Shirley thought about it for a while, it seems that this is really the case, after all, the people in the lonely mountain area are fierce, and they don't even give the caster face. And you can find a +2 professional in any village here, which is a bit scary. She had learned in the forums that so far a player in another region had two goblins as subordinates, and one side was called the boss, although the game had only started for two days, but this also said that Shirley had almost planted a witch with four skeletons here.

(The premise of planting is that Cynthia fights well before and doesn't play soy sauce)

As Shirley envisions, game companies are shaping an imbalanced condition. First there is the difference in strength between regions, and then there is the decisive conflict between lord players and non-lord players, who even have to go to villages or cities to buy food. And there are already players who have posted on the forum: NPC Master can play, a scroll sells you 500 gold coins, and then the basic teaching asks you 5000 gold coins.

This game does not have an open krypton gold system, and beta players are generally not short of money, and trenches will not receive gold coins from beta players. Therefore, if you want to change to the master, you should first see if your background story is simple and can be linked to the master.

Lord players have territories and younger brothers, and according to the standards of this game, it is relatively normal to have 1000 lord players out of 100W players, and there should be lord players joining one after another in the next week, right? Lord players need to conquer villages to obtain resources, need to control various resource production bases to obtain resources, need to level up their younger brothers, but also need to fight treasures, and develop new territories.

With such a series of conditions piled up, the lord player has no third way to go except crazy external expansion or crazy farming development, which means that it is almost impossible for the lord player and other lord players to synchronize or cooperate, and the non-lord player has to be eaten by the lord player Most of the resources, so the lord player has no allies and is all enemies, which is also a foreseeable thing.

"Are there any other villages around here? Or resource points, we need to pick up the pace. ”

Shirley's only advantage over other lord players: she's 6 days ahead of them
