Chapter 22: New Missions, New Equipment
Bai Lang browsed through the published tasks: capture the walking corpses with complete limbs, in groups of 50, and provide chains; Collect 30 Hearts of the Fallen Demon; Collect 50 pairs of designated monster eyeballs; Requires a Sinker Wizard's head (note: fresh, no more than 12 hours after death......
Detective mission, investigate the intelligence of the monsters entrenched in the central hospital; Refining monster essence blood, 5000 ml; clearance missions; Recruitment of auto repair technicians with high salaries (experience in special vehicle modification is preferred); machining training courses; Power Plant Recruitment ......
The jumble of information is dizzying, and it is also clear from it that Camp Rogue is a small, fully functional ecosystem, from entertainment to energy, medical care, machinery, specialty food...... Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
This place not only provides corresponding services for 'adventurers', but also shelters a large number of ordinary people from the invasion of hell monsters. And he filtered out the task that suited him: camp patrol.
…
This is a long-term assignment for newcomers. The pay is low, the content is boring, simple, and safe, but it allows for a quick accumulation of experience.
The main content is to patrol the 'safety zone' within a 5-kilometer radius of the camp under the leadership of a group of old fritters, and clean up those dangerous 'new refugees', similar to the sanitation workers of the Celestial Empire.
As mentioned earlier, the city is shrouded in a special force field that suppresses the power of hell and is called the 'Hatchery', while the 5 km perimeter of Camp Rog is the most inhibitive and is called the 'Safe Zone'.
Bai Lang's 'side mission' last night was actually to move a certain distance in the safety zone. The closer you get to the camp, the more severely the monsters are slashed, and by the end of the day, only the most stubborn walking dead remain. Not only that, but the monsters that can fight in the safe zone are all 'harmless versions' that have been cleaned up repeatedly.
For example, 'crispy. It's a little salty', this kind of sinking demon, thin, mentally retarded, sluggish, malnourished, and despised and expelled by his own race. In order to survive, you can only sneak attack rats and catch insects in the safe area to barely eat.
After leaving the 'safe zone', the inhibition gradually decreases, and it is a monster paradise infested with wild monsters, a real battlefield.
…
According to the "Safety Manual" distributed free of charge on the third floor, the smallest unit of the Fallen Demon Clan has at least five hand-to-hand combatants, plus a 'wizard' who has mastered the fireball technique. Only a few gifted Fallen Demon Wizards have the ability to resurrect.
It is worth mentioning that the Sinking Demon has a good IQ, although it cannot be compared with humans, but it is not a fool of primitive society, at least to the extent that it has come into contact with modern civilization of the primitive tribes of Africa...... Not only can they light cigarettes with lighters, but they can also use firearms skillfully and shoot for faith.
After flipping through this "Safety Manual", Bai Lang's expression became solemn. Nima's monster who can shoot black guns, the polluter who rides a motorcycle, and is there any royal law? I don't even have a bike yet! This survival rate has plummeted.
The 10 elite monsters required by the main quest can only be found outside the safe zone, and at the end of the year, they are the leader of a small tribe. This means that the difficulty of the main story is higher than expected.
However, he was overjoyed in his heart, because as long as Krypton gold was available, he could obtain 'Extraordinary Power'. Becoming stronger is not a dream, the more Krypton you are, the stronger you are! Poor ghosts will be defeated.
…
With anticipation, he came to the counter to pick up the task, signed a short contract for the 'patrol mission', a total of 4 days, and reported on time tomorrow morning.
Because it is a pink newcomer, the patrol team only provides three meals, regardless of accommodation, and the commission is ten copper plates, which is completely a day laborer. But Bai Lang didn't care, all he wanted was work experience.
By noon, he had figured out the prices of the camp. 30 gold coins is a lot of money. The purchasing power of 1 copper plate is equivalent to several dollars of soft sister coins, and silver coins are not used for simple eating, drinking and snacks. However, when it comes to mid-range consumption such as 'monster materials, disinfectant holy water, guns and bullets, and pink light boxes', you need to settle with silver coins.
The real enchanted weapons, vehicles, and props on the mysterious side require gold coins for settlement, which is not cheap. To learn the most basic 'transcendent power' in the four major forces, the registration fee alone starts at 20 gold coins, and the specific price varies, and it is not guaranteed.
…
After taking the first mission, he didn't stop. This was followed by the second 'advanced version', the main content of which was 'intelligence exploration and material search'.
This mission is even more dangerous, leaving the safe zone directly and going deep into the depths of the city. However, it is not based on combat, but to detect the changes in the monster power, predict the crisis in advance and report to the camp, and by the way, search for valuable materials from some supermarket stores, commonly known as 'picking up garbage'.
These two missions can be said to have the highest survival rate that Bai Lang has discovered so far! The old driver led the team throughout the whole process, and the keywords: low-key, Gou, Voldemort, picking up garbage, backstabbing, selling teammates, and running with one shot is really exciting.
Although the pay is low, it is suitable for newcomers, not only to expand their horizons, but also to have a lot of opportunities for them to grab their heads.
Because unlike the game's 'monster killing upgrade' setting, this world is real, and if you want to become stronger, you must go through long-term and unremitting exercise, or take potions, and carry out special rituals, there is no such thing as killing monsters and adding points, so old drivers don't like to waste their physical strength in vain.
…
After completing the 'task pick-up' procedure on the self-service terminal with the 'identity card', the machine suddenly emits a prompt and receives a message.
Bai Lang clicked on it and found that it was a group message sent by President Che and several people, inviting him to meet in the box on the seventh floor at night. During the day today, everyone was exposed to a lot of news in the camp, and it was inevitable that new ideas would arise. As a companion from the 'Fire Paradise', it is supposed to exchange information with each other and discuss how to spend the main quest? Even exchange equipment privately for mutual benefit.
Bai Lang was thinking about the 'life-saving grace' of the three sisters, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.
Writing it down, he continued up to the fifth floor, where equipment, potions, and firearms were traded, and there was a very lively 'gambling area' in the corner.
…
Brother Lang sees different styles of weapons here, from ordinary firearms to RPGs, and the prices are not outrageous. But the 'enchanted bullets' and firearms are exaggerated.
He was at an appraisal booth and pulled out the park-certified 'screwdriver'. As a result, the boss studied for a long time, quoted a recovery price of 70 silver coins, and gave me an expression of a big loss. But it disgusted him.
In the end, Bai Lang sold the flashy survival axe, bought two pistols of another world model, eight magazines, two boxes of bullets, and prepared to play. Finally, for 5 gold coins, you can buy a 'new metal bat' engraved with dense and complex runes.
How so? This is the most cost-effective 'novice artifact' on the fifth floor, and it has the potential to be promoted to 'magic equipment'.
When the bat is made, a large number of 'runes' are engraved on the outer surface using a numerical control process. From a magical point of view, this 100% accurate and error-free 'industrial rune' is soulless and has nothing to do with enchantment.
However, the inside of the bat is hollowed out and filled with forged magic metal as the 'inner core', and then holes are punched in the nodes of the industrial runes to connect the inside and outside.
Up to this point, it was still industrialized, but there was a 'blood sacrifice' ritual in this world. In other words, in any world, as long as a certain weapon slaughters a large number of living beings, it will be attached to all kinds of legends and stories, and be exaggerated as 'demon blades, magic blades, and artifacts'.
And in this world where there are hells and gods and demons, as long as you hold this 'industrial bat' to kill monsters uninterruptedly, soak in the blood of monsters, and absorb souls and resentment, you can activate and transform these 'industrial runes' little by little to offset towards the magic side, and finally turn into enchanted weapons, randomly stimulating a certain enchantment effect?
This is the cheapest and most readily available 'magic equipment' known, and the disadvantage is that it gambles on character.
As for monster killing equipment? It simply doesn't exist. Only the contractor of the paradise has the magical ability to kill monsters and explode the key. The zombies and sinking demons in this world don't have the talent of 'four-dimensional chrysanthemums' at all.
The indiscriminate knife slashes over a small red skin that is not covered in clothes, and only as a result is a delicate and luxurious glittering chain mail spewing out of the chrysanthemum, which is unique to the game. If it has this treasure, why not put it on in advance?
After shopping, it was still early, Bai Lang left the camp wall and warmed up in the quarantine area where the walking corpses were rampant. I'm going to brush up the main quest and familiarize myself with the newly sold equipment by the way.
