Chapter 62: The Key
It was close to 12 o'clock, Han Bing was hungry, so he cooked two noodles and stared at the books on the table while waiting.
"Ahh
"What?"
"I only ran 3 times in one night, and my head was dizzy."
"Cool."
Han Bing knew it early on his face, and mocked Kaida: "If you don't listen to Lao Tzu, you deserve to be pitiful." ”
"How do you know if you haven't tried." Disappreciating, Rin twisted his neck and 'gurgle'.
"You are stubborn and rigid, and you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin."
"Actually, it's okay, I'll see tomorrow."
"Bang-"
Han Bing's hand was scalded by the steam, the chopsticks that stirred the noodles almost fell into the pot, and he looked up at his roommate with the same eyes as if he was mentally retarded: "Still running?" Do you have masochistic tendencies? ”
"Can you eat it?"
"Well, let's eat, don't get off the hook! You're stupid about running a mission, aren't you? What's there to run for that garbage task, so if you have time, you might as well let me take you to brush for two days......"
"Save it, you can't bring that broken T yourself, and you still bring people."
"You're a level 2 rookie, you're qualified to be a suspect." Han Bing was very disdainful.
"It's called self-reliance, don't you understand." As she said, Rin picked up the dishes and chopsticks, unceremoniously scooped them into the pot, and directly sandwiched half of the noodles.
"Fuck, leave me some!"
"And."
"I'm going to eat hair like this!"
"That's enough."
Rin took a big mouthful of noodles, swallowed them in three or two, and let out a hot breath: "For your good, don't eat so much for supper." ”
"Get out!"
"Good intentions are not rewarded."
"Don't eat it!"
"It's good to have no good heart."
“……”
Han Bing was speechless, so he could only raise his middle finger.
Rin didn't care, and wiped out a bowl of noodles in a few bites. When he came back after washing the dishes, he was a little surprised to see Han Bing still reading with a pot: "You haven't taken the exam yet?" ”
"Have you ever seen a student who has passed the exam and still reads?"
"No ......"
"Then what nonsense are you talking about."
“……”
Rin was dumbfounded.
"Still playing? If you don't play, I won't be on the game. ”
"What does it have to do with whether I play or not?"
"Give up, I'll take you to brush up for a few days, and you can get together in the four heavens, if you rely on you to run that broken task to upgrade, I don't know what year it will take to get it." Han Bing said lightly: "Anyway, I'm upgrading slowly now, and I can't be promoted to much more advanced in ten days and eight days, and it doesn't cost much to take you to farm monsters, and you can earn some popularity." ”
"Am I going to be polite to you?" Rin smiled slightly: "If you can't rise, you have to bring it if you don't bring it, now, I think it's good, I didn't run in vain all night, I have a clue." ”
"What?"
Han Bing looked suspicious: "The reward for the broken task is going to die, and the time is long, can you still run out of a flower?" ”
"Let's take a look at it again, check something, don't talk about it."
"Whatever you want."
"Maps, Coordinates......
Rin muttered a few words to himself, turned on the computer, entered the official website of 'Legends', searched the database for a while, and then downloaded the map of Yishui Castle.
The so-called clue is not reckless.
After a night of tossing and turning, Rin did have a completely different perspective on 'public missions' than before. Practice makes sense. After actually brushing it, he found that the public task was far more 'cumbersome' than he imagined. The benefits of a task are measured by the amount of time spent on the task, including time, in addition to the final reward for the task. The seemingly simple task accounts for more than half of the time spent on almost meaningless errands, which has actually added an intangible cost to the originally low-difficulty task, and disguised the efficiency brought by the 'low difficulty', making the average return of the entire task low.
Theoretically, due to the extremely low difficulty of the task, the time cost will inevitably be relatively high. This is an inevitable result, and Rin is mentally prepared, however, after experiencing it himself, he finds in vain that the time cost is too high. Running a round of tasks for nearly an hour, even if you don't need to fight monsters and don't need to consume additional materials, the rewards you get are too pitiful, 1 yuan per hour? Not to mention that compared to the farm, even compared to the time unit of '1 hour', it is already asymmetrical. Simple as a contrast will be more obvious. Rin pinched his fingers, even if he ran back to the novice village to farm low-level monsters, the cultivation and materials obtained would still be higher than the harvest of running a round of tasks, and it was much higher. Looking forward to a mission to give something good? Equipped with the best? There is also a chance to get rare materials in the wild, purely by looking at the face.
At the end of the day, it's still 'Legendary' that's too different from the usual RPGs.
Rin put the downloaded map to the maximum, and put 'Fang Da' and 'Yao Xiaoye' in turn...... And so on more than a dozen NPC names and coordinates marked in the corresponding locations in the city.
The biggest trouble with public quests is that 'Legends' is different from normal games, in 'Legends', most of the NPCs are quasi-players, that is, they don't stand in a fixed position waiting for you to come to the door, and they don't have their own names on their heads. This was calculated by Rin before, but what he didn't expect was that the coordinates of the NPCs were not even given in the mission...... This means that if you don't know the location of the NPC, you can only honestly follow the approximate location of the quest prompt and slowly find it, asking NPC by NPC until you find the right person. For example, the first public quest Rin does, when he arrives at the East Gate Vegetable Market, he can only ask the NPCs around him......
So.
Rin felt that such a setup was normal. If I guessed correctly, according to the original intention of the game designer, the public mission should not have been developed until the game was opened in beta.
Indeed, the ambiguous setting of NPC location has brought a lot of trouble to the completion of the task, but on the contrary, as a task mainly to find people, if there is no difficulty at all, I am afraid it is abnormal. By the same token, since the most difficult task to solve is to find NPCs, what if you could know the location of each NPC well?
If, when he received the 'heart disease', Rin knew where Fang Da was? Or, just know the location of the final NPC Yao Xiaoye? From the main teleportation array to the west gate, it will only take about 10 minutes to slow down, right? When 10 minutes are good. If, if it really goes that well, what is the concept of completing a task in 20 minutes?
According to the calculation of 1 hour and 3 rounds, the income is equivalent to farming 1 and a half hours of wild monsters, or 1 dungeon, right?
Rin felt the same.
