Chapter 153: The World
We were also confused about the gold coins, and we looked around for a long time without looking for the figure of Masaga Omatsumoto, until the rock above our heads was shattered and fissioned more and more strictly, and there was a more obvious dark red bright line under the abyss under our feet. In the current situation, the line below is also lava.
"President." I was looking around for Matsumoto Masaga's figure when I heard Christina calling me.
"What's the matter?"
"Over there." Christina suddenly pointed at us, and following her finger I immediately saw another wall that echoed the one we had grasped. However, unlike the entire rock wall on our side, the opposite rock wall is full of large and small cracks.
"The rock wall over there is going to shatter, but is there anything special about it?" I turned to Christina, confused. Although the collapse of the rock wall over there is also dangerous for us, after all, even if it is far away, even if it is dangerous, it may not really be able to do anything to us, so I wonder why Christina reacted so much.
Seeing that I didn't understand it, Christina simply recited the incantation and turned over and pointed to the other side, only to see a strong white light suddenly shoot out from the tips of her fingers, like a searchlight, directly projecting a spot of light with a considerable area on the opposite rock wall.
"Holy! Everyone, pay attention, hurry up and run up. ”
Before, we couldn't see it clearly because it was dark underneath, but with Christina's guidance, we could see it thoroughly. It turned out that the black-looking things on the opposite rock wall were not cracks, but monsters with bodies that looked like centipedes and wings on their backs. I said why those cracks are always moving around, and after a long time, they are simply living creatures.
Hearing my words, they all reacted quickly, and one by one they quickly began to run up the rock wall. I haven't had time to retract my own dragon tendon rope, and now the head of the rope is still nailed to the top of the rock face far from here, which will be just right for me to use as a leash for climbing. The connection between the dragon tendon and the dragon set has a pay-off, which functions like a multi-functional device with brake braking and traction agitation bi-directional functions. I used this thing to do a moderate amount of braking traction to achieve a slow descent when I was just doing the drop deceleration, and now it's time for another of its effects. As the dragon tendon rope quickly retracted, I also stood directly on the rock wall, and my feet rushed all the way up the rock wall as if I were running on flat ground. Although they also have their own ways to get gold coins, they are the fastest in terms of speed.
Originally, at this speed, I could have rushed to the top first, but in case those monsters were strong...... No, there will be no zài in case. Those things must be very strong. This duel scene is specially used for us to duel, and it is not a place where we can level up, so there are no wild monsters. Needless to say, the following creatures that look like winged centipedes must belong to the monsters brushed out of the system like the previous group of creatures that are like crabs and dragons, and their role is only one - to do it with us. How can such a creature not be strong?
Now the strongest on our side is me, although I run the fastest, but I can't leave the gold coins and they don't care, so the only way now is for me to slow down and deliberately fall to the end to give them the queen, otherwise with their strength, once they are surrounded, it is estimated that it will not be so easy to run again.
I was hesitating whether to stand there and wait for Christina to overtake me, or whether I would take the initiative to run down, when suddenly I saw a strong wind flashing beside me, and then I heard a voice shouting at me: "Boss, spears can fly." ”
"What?" Before I could react to what was going on, I saw Christina and the others flash past me one by one on their guard spears, faster than when we had fallen before.
"Holy, that's okay?" Now that Christina and the others have run away, wouldn't it be a fool for me to stay? I didn't expect the spear's jet propulsion method to still fly, and it was obviously an idiot to continue to run. I didn't hesitate anymore, and with a flick of my wrists, the two dragon tendon cables embedded in the rock wall immediately popped up automatically, and then quickly retracted into my wrists under the action of the retractor. As I retracted the dragon tendon rope, I kicked the rock wall and jumped backwards, then spread my wings and flapped up. What scared me was that I didn't rise after the power of the jump was exhausted, but started to fall down. However, I reacted quickly, and the wings found that they could not generate lift, and I immediately understood why. It seems that we fell before not because the system prohibits the ability to fly in this area, but because it restricts the way to fly. What was apparently ineffective was the way in which the guò waved its wings to create an updraft, and the jet propulsion used by the spears was apparently not limited in any way. After figuring out the reason, I no longer let myself fall, but opened my wings again, and the four vents hidden under the wings spewed out dazzling blue-white flames at the same time, and I jumped up and quickly caught up with Christina and began to fly up at the same speed as them.
After we took off and fled, the monsters below finally got moving. We've noticed that these guys have wings under the light of Christina's beam, so we're not surprised that these guys can fly. However, there is one thing that makes us feel very depressed, that is, the system scene is obviously engaged in differential treatment. Those guys obviously only had a pair of bat-like wings, and those wings were obviously not proportional to the size of these guys, but these centipede-like monsters actually flew like this, and the speed was unexpectedly fast.
I quickly glanced back at the shout of the gold coin, but I was also startled, because two of the centipedes below were actually two oversized individuals rushing towards us at an extremely terrifying speed.
"Damn, Raippi isn't like that, is he? Attention everyone, turn on the supersonic assault, you can't shake them off at ordinary speed! ”
After hearing my shout, Christina and the others quickly started a supersonic assault, but what they didn't expect was that after we accelerated, the guys below actually started to speed up, and the distance between us was getting closer and closer.
"President, it's not a way to run like this!" Seeing the monster behind me chase closer and closer, a real red voice came from my headphones. Now that we have launched a supersonic assault, faster than sound, there is no way to communicate with each other except for communicators.
Although I can understand the reason for the metamorphosis speed of those monsters, it doesn't mean I'm glad that these guys can catch up with us, but now it's not me who has the final say, but the system, so even if I'm not satisfied, it's useless. But now we don't want to be overtaken, so it's better to find a way.
"Christina, gold coins."
"Yes." The two answered together.
"Your spells and flying swords can attack from a distance, so you can simply form a protective wall behind us, I don't think they can withstand our attacks and still be able to maintain such speed, right?"
Although the spears they tread on their feet rely on the principle of jet propulsion, they are not airplanes, but living beings. Just as a horse would never crash into a tree on its own even if there was no rider, the spears did not need to be manipulated by a human at all. Usually what we call a spear flight is just telling them where they are going and whether they need to fly faster or slower now, which is completely different from flying an airplane. So now if Christina and Gold need to turn around and attack backwards, they just need to order their spears to fly with us, and they don't have to be distracted to turn around and attack while directing their spears to fly.
Under the command of the gold coin, her sword array quickly spun into action, rushing towards the group of monsters below, and then saw a large field of blood explode in the air. And Christina's attack arrived almost at the same time as her, but the effect was even more striking, and I saw that the big centipedes that were chasing us were falling in pieces like flies sprayed with insecticide, and they were completely vulnerable.
"Huh?" The two of them who found out that they had achieved brilliant results were obviously stunned for a moment. I also looked back when I heard their voices, and I was also shocked.
"What's going on?" I was surprised to see that there was obviously a large group of monsters missing from the back, as if one second you were being chased by an army, and the next second you found that the army was all sick people who were about to fall when the wind blew, and you yourself were superhuman. Although I was slightly shocked in my heart, I was not stupid, and I reacted after just being stunned for a second or two. This situation is obviously not because Christina is too strong, but because the monsters are too weak. "Oh no, those are all small monsters, and the big ones haven't come out yet!"
When we were being chased before, there were two of those little monsters in the horde that were obviously much bigger than their kind, and they were very fast, and I thought of them as adults at the time, but now that I think about it, that's not the case, because those two big guys were also killed like wheat by Christina. Combined with the group of monsters that looked like crabs and dragons that were brushed out of the last system, the following things are the little brothers of **OSS. The six big monsters before also brought a bunch of small monsters of different sizes to appear.,It's just that we found the big monster and the small monster at the same time.,So we immediately figured out the difference between the boss and the small monster.,But now because the environment under the crack is unclear.,So we didn't see where the big monster was.,That's why we got the wrong situation.。
Christina and the others weren't stupid, and they understood after I finished speaking, but now we had no choice but to run. As we flew upwards for longer periods of time, there was a sudden light around us, and several of us rushed out of the cracks in the ground like missiles. However, as we fly, our hearts are also raised.
At the moment when we rushed out of the surface, next to us, less than fifty meters away from us, a big hole suddenly exploded in the ground, and then we saw a huge centipede-like creature with a diameter of more than fifty meters and a body length of hundreds of meters break through the ground and follow us into the sky.
"Damn, it turns out that the Lord is here!"
"Everybody dispersed." With my shout, the monster turned its head, and as a burst of lightning flashed on the two antenna-like tentacles above its head, a blue thunderbolt suddenly broke away from the monster's tentacles and flew towards us. Even though I shouted fast, the end result was not too good. Christina was pierced by a bolt of lightning, and her entire upper body was instantly blown into powder, while her lower body, which had lost vital organs, tumbled off the back of her spear and fell into the abyss below.
Spikes. Christina, who is ranked fourth in the world combat power list in a complete state, was actually seconded. Even if Christina is not known for her defense, even if she was surprised at the time, even if she has all kinds of excuses, but after all, she is fourth on the combat power list! Actually a trick was seconds? What kind of attack power does this take?
"President, don't be in a daze, save people." At this time, Shadow Spring was the quickest to react, and her shout completely pulled us back from the shock.
I quickly opened the door of the earth, pulled the rose out as soon as possible, and then pointed to the half of Christina's body that had not disappeared from sight below and said, "Save people." ”
Originally, Christina had already been blasted off half of her body, and she was supposedly dead. But who is Rose? She's a resurrection mage. There are only two resurrection mages in the world that are higher than Rose, and the resurrection skills of those two people are not as high as Rose, plus Rose's special equipment that relies on the Frost Rose Alliance's strong financial resources to buy and rob, we can say without exaggeration that Rose is the first resurrection mage in the world.
The death penalty setting of the game "Zero" is a bit strange, although most people think that its setting is similar to that of a normal game, which is to die once and lose one level, but in fact, it is not like that at all. Strictly speaking, the death penalty in Zero should be two levels of death at a time, not one level as most people think. The reason why many people default to the setting of dying once and dropping one level is because of the existence of the profession of resurrection mage.
After the last system upgrade, Zero sets the soul of the dead player to an optional state, that is, after death, the player can choose to stay on the battlefield in the form of a soul, or be teleported directly back to the nearest resurrection temple or in accordance with the rules of the system. However, no matter whether you choose to be teleported or stay, you will not be able to run away in the end, and you will have to go to the resurrection mage to help you transform your soul and resurrect you. In this process, there is a problem of success rate. If the resurrection is successful, the death penalty will be halved, i.e. only one level will be dropped, and if the resurrection fails, then the full penalty must be accepted, i.e. two levels will be dropped. However, because the profession of resurrection mage is almost a full-time nurse, and its combat effectiveness is often weaker than that of professional priests, so the people who practice resurrection mages are simply rare, except for the big guilds that plan to fund some people to specialize in this profession, Japanese players generally do not choose this profession. Because of this, most players resurrect to go to the resurrection hall to find the system to resurrect the mage, and the failure rate of the system resurrection mage is relatively low, so many people selectively forget that death will drop two levels, but think that only one level at a time, after all, except for a few unlucky people, most of them do only drop one level each time they die.
However, although this probability is small, it does not mean that this kind of punishment rule does not exist. However, compared to this punishment rule of dropping two levels at a time, there is actually another rule that you can die without dropping the level.
As I said before, the probability of failure of the resurrection technique of the system resurrection mage is very low, but in the same way, they will not have anything more advanced if their skills are stable, so if you look for them, although you can guarantee that you will not drop two levels directly, it is impossible to avoid punishment. However, the Resurrection Mage class among players is different. Although the player's resurrection failure rate is surprisingly high when both skill level and character level are low, the situation is completely reversed in the later stages. When a resurrection mage's character level exceeds level 900, and the other resurrection skills reach level 20, his resurrection technique will automatically evolve into a first-level high-level resurrection technique. Although this high-level resurrection technique also has the possibility of resurrection failure, the biggest difference between it and ordinary resurrection techniques is that high-level resurrection techniques have a probability of failure and a probability of explosion. Once it erupts, the result is that not only do you not need to drop two levels, but you don't even need to use one level, and you can completely avoid the death penalty, just like if you didn't die at all. Moreover, since the resurrection mage in the player can go out with the army without always squatting in the resurrection hall, the high-level resurrection mage among the players can theoretically resurrect the player who died in battle, and if it is combined with a little luck, it can even make a person appear immortal. It's just that you were hacked to death, and the resurrection mage behind you immediately helped you resurrect, and then you were lucky enough to break out the resurrection technique, and then there was no punishment, and the take-out state was all full, so the result was not so much a self-reliant, but rather a full rest and treatment. After all, some poisons or curses cannot be dispelled, but death can dispel most of the negative states except for a few curses, so this kind of non-punishment resurrection is theoretically more powerful than the top healing technique. If you're a little lucky, and you're resurrected seven or eight times unscathed, then I guess your enemies will go crazy. As soon as I cut you down, you got up again, and then continued to do it with him like no one else, and I kept tossing and turning like this, and no one could stand it!
In fact, the above is only the situation when the advanced resurrection is at the first level, although the skill level of the player who practices the resurrection mage class continues to rise, the failure rate of this advanced resurrection skill will continue to decrease and the burst rate will gradually increase. When the advanced resurrection technique exceeds level ten, the failure rate will disappear, that is to say, either death drops one level, or direct lossless resurrection, and when this level reaches level 20, the probability of lossless resurrection will reach eighty percent, that is, five people are resurrected, four are lossless, and one only drops one level. Generally speaking, it is very good to be able to do this, but who is Rose? She's my wife, the money bag of the Frost Rose League. Can the equipment on her body be comparable to that of the resurrection mages that the small guilds have raised? Therefore, Rose's skill level is not level twenty. Although the system restricts all skills to a maximum of level 20, the system does not limit the maximum number of skills. In other words, if you continue to improve your skill proficiency, you can only upgrade your skill to level 20, but you can consider other ways to exceed this limit.
There are two ways to break through this limitation. Method 1: Obtain system reward skill points. The skill improvement points rewarded by the system can be added to any skill unconditionally, including level 20 skills that have reached the full level. Method 2: Obtain equipment that adds skill points. There is a small amount of equipment in "Zero" that can add skill points, although it is difficult to find equipment with a single resurrection, but there are still a lot of equipment with all skills plus one, at least it is not too rare for our Frost Rose Alliance.
Rose had received a total of two system reward skill points before this, both of which were special tasks for her to be done by the senior personnel in the guild I sent to help her, so the basic skill of Rose's advanced resurrection technique is twenty-two, which is two levels more than ordinary people. In addition, Rose has a ring with all skills plus one and a bracelet with non-attacking skills plus one, and the staff she is using now is the resurrection mage transfer equipment, which comes with advanced resurrection skills plus three, which is considered a high-level artifact. These three pieces of equipment provide a total of five skill levels, plus Rose's original twenty-two skills, that is, a total of twenty-seven levels.
What is the effect of the level 27 advanced resurrection? The effect is that there is a 93% chance of a lossless resurrection, and only a 7% chance of dropping one level. This kind of resurrection technique is simply perverted to the average player. Think about it, if you can bring roses with you every day, it means that you will die an average of a hundred times before you drop level seven, how terrifying is this resurrection efficiency?
Other guilds actually know how strong a resurrection mage like Rose is in the later stage, and they don't want a super nurse like this, after all, a nurse like Rose can be said to carry God with him. However, when they think about it, they can't cultivate such a resurrection mage at all.
First of all, although the resurrection mage profession is not a hidden profession, it is not something that everyone can choose, so more than half of them were eliminated as soon as they came up. The percentage of players who are left to choose this class is only about 20% of the total number of players. That's a lot of numbers, but there are limits to the back. After choosing a resurrection mage, you need to practice character level, which is relatively simpler. Although the resurrection mage is not strong in combat, people can use guò to heal damage to their companions to gain experience points to upgrade, and relying on team leveling, it is not too difficult for any guild to bring up the level of the resurrection mage. However, the character level is easy to practice, and the skill level can be troublesome.
The only way to level up your skills in Zero is to use them in multiple ways, and you have to use them successfully to gain XP. For the resurrection skill, it means that the resurrection mage must be used on the dead player, and the resurrection must be successful. But the problem is that resurrection is used to kill players, but the failure rate of resurrection is surprisingly high when the skill level is low. If you fail to practice the fireball technique, it is a big deal to lose some mana, and for the big guilds, buying more mana potions will quickly pile up the skill level. But how do you pile up this resurrection? Let the player go to the wild to die, and then let the resurrection mage help him resurrect and level up? Failure once dropped two levels is you, what do you do? Taking a step back, even if someone agrees to send them to death to let the resurrection mage level up, with the pitiful success rate of the low-level resurrection technique, how many levels does the other party have to lose to practice his skill level? Anyway, I know that with my current level of doing this, even if I die and return to the novice village, I won't be able to pile up a resurrection mage who can use advanced resurrection techniques. Some people who like to take advantage of loopholes may ask. A high-level player dies once and loses a lot, can't you use a low-level player to practice? Anyway, it's easy for players in their twenties to level up, find a master and bring a few level 20 newcomers to instantly brush them to level 30, and then let them practice skill proficiency for the resurrection mage after they die, so that if you repeatedly bring newcomers to feed the resurrection mage, can't you quickly cultivate a high-level resurrection mage?
Originally, many people thought of this method, and indeed many people have used it. However, it turns out that since the main system of "Zero" has a mind beyond human beings, it must also think of the loopholes that humans can think of. Therefore, people do not calculate skill proficiency simply by the number of successful resurrections, but by the experience value recovered after resurrection. This method is actually an alternative application of the performance-based pay system used by companies in reality, but in reality, how much profit you make is linked to your salary, and in the game, how much experience you may lose is linked to the proficiency of resurrection. If you successfully resurrect a thousand-level player, it will be completely different from the difference between heaven and earth if you successfully resurrect a level 20 player, so it is not impossible to use low-level newcomers to mix proficiency, but the premise is that you have to resurrect these dozen or so newcomers hundreds of billions of times each, and if you are not idle, you can work against the system, but the time leveling is slightly longer.
In fact, the above are only part of the problems, after all, as long as you have perseverance, it is not impossible to practice proficiency to level 20. However, training to 20 is not the whole story. You must know that the success rate of level 20 non-destructive resurrection is only eighty percent, and if you want a higher resurrection success rate, you have to rely on equipment and basic skill points. However, since the main system is smart enough to plug loopholes according to people's psychology, it naturally knows that these equipment cannot be allowed to overflow, so whether it is basic skill points or equipment with resurrection, it is not something that ordinary people can get. Skill proficiency can be slowly improved by diligence and perseverance, but the equipment and basic skill points with skill levels are different, and that thing cannot be obtained by hard work alone. It's the same as winning the lottery, luck is often more important than hard work.
Speaking of which, Rose can have today's resurrection strength, all because of the number of magic pets I have. In fact, the real difficulty of honing the skill proficiency of the resurrection technique is all in the front part, and as the level gradually increases, the success rate of the resurrection technique will gradually increase, that is, the further you go, the easier it is to practice. And as the level of resurrection mages increases, more and more people will volunteer to resurrect them. At the beginning, the failure rate is high, people are unwilling, as long as the resurrection level goes up, once the resurrection success rate is close to or equal to the NPC resurrection mage, the player is usually willing to resurrect the player resurrection mage, after all, the NPC resurrection mage resurrection is not free, people have to charge money. Although the player resurrects the mage is not necessarily free, it will not surpass the system NPC, right? Besides, if people really dare to set the price of more than the system NPC, it must be that the resurrection success rate of the resurrection technique is higher than that of the system NPC, so even if it costs a lot of money, ordinary people will definitely prefer to find this kind of high-insurance resurrection mage, after all, everyone's experience value is not for nothing, who wouldn't want to lose one level? As for the roses, this is actually my little secret.
Rose's previous resurrection skills also had a high failure rate like others, and it was difficult to level up. But then it happened that my pets gradually increased, and we accidentally discovered that the player's pets can also be resurrected with resurrection, and the rewards and punishments are exactly the same. Originally, even if the demon pet can use the resurrection technique, I will not let the demon pet sacrifice in vain to level up the rose, after all, the level of the demon pet is not for nothing. However, because my pets are generally top-level creatures with super high ranks, there was a long time when my level limited the level of the pets, so that they couldn't level up even though they had full experience points. In this case, the demon pets are the same whether they die or not, so I will let the demon pets send them to death once in a while to practice their skills for Rose, anyway, their level is suppressed by me and can't go up, and the experience points obtained are better for Rose to practice skills than wasted in vain.
It is precisely because of my method that Rose has gone through the most difficult period of primary skills, and after Rose's resurrection failure rate drops to the level of the system NPC, she doesn't have to look for it herself, and others often take the initiative to send it to her to resurrect her. Later, Rose rarely helped people resurrect because of the economic affairs of the Frost Rose Alliance, but at this time, her skill level was already quite high, so many people still tried to find a way to resurrect Rose, and as a result, Rose's skills were unconsciously upgraded to the twentieth level of the advanced resurrection technique. In the end, we saw that she was so high-level anyway, so we simply gritted our teeth and helped her take on a few tasks and get some equipment, and as a result, we armed Rose to become the first resurrection mage in the whole game. Later, some people in the meeting joked that one of us and the other specialized in killing people and the other in saving people, which was completely a combination of angels and demons. In fact, they don't know that Rose's psychology is much more evil than mine, although I kill people everywhere, but I am an executor, and all the ideas come from Rose, so she is actually much more evil than me.
