Chapter 002: Breaking Bad Orc
As a reborn 'passer', Qu Ming knows very well that this novice guide task is actually a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that is ignored by most players!
Obviously, the experience gained from doing the task is not as fast as the team farming, and the novice guide task is very cumbersome, based on this, most players choose to obtain weapons, armor, potions and other items through the novice guide task, and then temporarily give up the novice guide task, choose to kill monsters to upgrade, accumulate some coins, and then return to the novice village to buy blank rune scrolls and rune fragments, combined to become the hero of the race.
Of course, Qu Ming won't do this, and if you want to get a series of items needed to combine heroes, it's very simple, just continue the quest!
Perhaps many players will regret afterwards that what was originally a clever method turned out to be a redundant move.
The rune scrolls obtained by doing tasks are three holes, and the rune scrolls obtained through coin purchases are all open one hole, of course, it does not mean that you can't get a three-hole scroll through coins, which requires a subclass to synthesize, and it also costs a lot of money.
Based on the rule that currencies cannot be exchanged for three months before the game starts, many local tyrants can only swallow their anger!
Since we are talking about rune scrolls, it is natural to summarize the difference in the number of openings.
A rune scroll with one hole can only be combined with one rune fragment, while a scroll with three holes can naturally combine three rune fragments!
For the positioning of the combined hero, it is natural that the more rune fragments and the higher the rune level, the stronger the hero's attributes.
A hero formed by combining one rune fragment is a first-level hero, and a combination of three rune fragments is a third-level hero. And level 1-3 heroes are collectively referred to as junior heroes.
When the player reaches level 30 and completes three class changes, they can get rune scrolls with four to six holes through monster killing explosions or subclass synthesis, and put four to six rune fragments into them to form an unknown hero.
Levels 1-3 are beginner heroes, levels 4-6 are intermediate heroes, levels 7-9 are advanced heroes, and level 10 and above are ultimate heroes. Of course, there are more high-end heroes on it, and now it seems too ambitious.
In Tower Defense Era, the importance of heroes is undeniable, even more powerful than the player's own strength!
What Qu Ming has to do at the moment is very simple, which is to complete this novice guide task!
After digging the iron ore, Qu Ming immediately ran back to the blacksmith shop to deliver the task, and chose the wooden shield from the three pieces of equipment of the short sword, the wooden shield, and the short bow.
[Wooden Shield]: White
Long-lasting: 15/15
Attributes: Defense +1, Block Successfully Offset Damage 20%
Special Effect: 10% chance to negate 10 damage
Equipment Requirements: Constitution 12
Note: Let's use it as a cauldron lid!
Although the attributes are very poor, it is better than nothing, Qu Ming's heart is still beautiful!
The weapons and clothes are all available, and then Qu Ming continues the unfinished novice guidance task. He has completed a series of tasks entrusted to him, such as a pharmacy, a grocery store, and a hunter's hut, and obtained a number of red and blue potions, a scroll to return to the city, a boning knife for collection, and a skill book "Primary Gathering".
Time is like water, it is already eight o'clock in the evening, so far, the novice guidance task has been completed 65%, in fact, the real tedious task has just begun!
Everything Qu Ming did next seemed to be very ridiculous, whether it was to help Aunt Qiu send a bottle of water to her wife who was a farmer in the field, or to help Er Niuzi find a kitten who didn't know where to hide, and there was not much reward after a series of devastating tasks were completed, and even the progress of the upgrade experience bar was not as fast as the percentage increase in the progress of the task, no wonder many players gave up on this cheating task!
But Qu Ming is very clear that since it is a task, there is no useless thing to say, although it seems cumbersome, it is to help players quickly familiarize themselves with the map of the novice village, and make people realize that in addition to the data composed of 0 and 1, the NPCs in the game also have their own emotions and ways of thinking, so that players can learn to communicate with NPCs.
Maybe an inconspicuous-looking homeless man can give you a precious key to unlock a hidden mission!
Another few hours have passed, and Qu Ming's level has reached level 3 experience 2%, and the progress of the novice guide has increased to 95%, which also means that the task is about to be completed!
For such a long time, even if Qu Ming went to hunt wild monsters outside the city, I'm afraid that by now there would be at least level 5! Before level 10, players level up relatively quickly!
This is also the reason why Qu Ming, as a 'person who has come over', is very familiar with novice tasks, and has never taken the wrong road from beginning to end.
For example, if you help Qiu Dashen send a bottle of water to her wife, run all the way for 20 minutes, and return to receive the task rewards and advanced task guidance after delivering the water, then I'm sorry, Aunt Qiu will smile bitterly and say to you: Look at my memory, I'm old, and my mind is not bright, young man, please go back and get the wild vegetables back!
But if you were handing her wife a water bottle at that time, ask more: Is there anything you need to bring back? Then congratulations, you saved at least 40 minutes back and forth.
All in all, it takes a lot of time for the average player to figure out how to complete the onboarding task on their own!
Qu Ming had already done the most critical task, going to the rune shop to find Boss Chen.
Entering the rune shop, he saw Boss Chen with a bitter face, and according to the usual practice, Qu Ming asked, "Boss Chen, is there anything that can help you?" ”
"Alas!" Most of these bitter-faced NPCs have to sigh first before releasing a mission: "My miserable daughter is suffering from a hidden disease, but if she wants to be cured, she needs the 'heart of the kobold leader', and even if she gets the heart, there is only a fifty percent chance of being cured." ”
"Let me help you get the kobold leader's heart!" Qu Ming seemed very positive, after all, the previous tedious novice guidance task was all paving the way for this moment.
Boss Chen's eyes lit up, and he took out a scroll and handed it to Qu Ming: "Young warrior, thank you for your enthusiasm, and the hope of my hard-working daughter will be entrusted to you!" This is a blank rune scroll with three holes open, and hopefully it will help you deal with the kobold leader. Also, you can pick a level 1 rune essence and three level 1 rune fragments at will. ”
After Boss Chen stuffed the scroll into Qu Ming's hand, he led him to the counter and let him choose at will.
The level 1 rune essence and fragments are triangular in shape, but the size of the fragments is much smaller than the essence, which is a must for combo heroes.
Although the rune essence and rune fragments are only level 1, it is important to know that before the player reaches the third turn, that is, level 30, the rune essence and fragments of Lv1-3 can only be combined, but not to mention the rune shop in the novice village, even the store in the system king city only sells level 1 runes, and the price is terrible! If you want to obtain higher-level rune essences and fragments, you can only use crafting methods, or quests, or killing wild monsters.
Qu Ming first took away three level 1 rune fragments, and then his eyes swept around from the many level 1 rune essences, and saw that there were rune essences chasing the wind, armor breaking, blood sucking, brute force, etc., but in the end he chose the 'Death' rune.
System: If you accept the quest 'Love Your Daughter', please get the 'Kobold's Heart' within 72 hours (game time) to deliver the task, and you will be rewarded with experience and money for completing the task; Failure of the mission is punished for praying for Boss Chen's daughter for seven days (game time).
Regarding the severity of the punishment for mission failure, Qu Ming only laughed.
After leaving the rune shop, Qu Ming immediately opened the rune scroll, and he was about to start assembling heroes!
As a prophetic race, you can use all the rune fragments of all races such as orcs, ancient martial arts, and mechas, and you can combine all the other races with up to a thousand heroes, and this time you want to hunt the kobold leader, you must not be sloppy!
The level classification of monsters in the game from low to high is Normal, Elite, Boss, Demonized, and Mutated.
Demonized and mutated creatures are rare, that is, the boss monster is the boss!
Therefore, Qu Ming has to be cautious, and for the heroes who want to choose a combination for the first time, they must also be cautious and pay attention to it enough!
After a while, Qu Ming finally made a decision, the hero race he chose to combine was the beast race!
He first activated three rune fragments, two 'stamina' runes and one 'rage' rune.
Then the activated rune fragment was engraved on the blank rune scroll, and the rune essence 'Death' was engraved on it, and when the scroll flickered, a green-skinned orc with an axe with a height of one meter seven had appeared in front of him.
Qu Ming was a little excited in his heart, and immediately checked the attributes of the orcs.
Rune Fragment (Stamina Lv1) + (Stamina Lv1) + (Rage Lv1) + Rune Essence (Death Will) = Breaking Bad
