Chapter 14: Undercurrents
Zhao Haiping, who has found a new direction, has become full of motivation again.
This kind of game with a high degree of freedom and extreme realism is really unfriendly to novice players, after all, there is not even a mission guide, and after checking the information, you have to guess and verify it yourself.
Compared to those games that directly write out the mission goal clearly and can find the way with one click, it is really brain-burning.
But once you accept this setting and play with it, you will find it very interesting!
Zhao Haiping once again entered the first stage of the trial, choosing the talent of licking blood from the knife edge.
This time, he no longer only thought about his life as before, but rushed directly to the front and confronted the Beidi barbarians!
Of course, the consequence of this is that you die faster, you used to die once every half an hour, but now you can die once every two or three minutes.
But what does it matter?
Zhao Haiping knows very well that it is meaningless to live for a long time in the first stage, and if you can't get a big enough advantage in the early stage, you will definitely send it in the second stage. Therefore, it is better to fight one stage at a time.
Moreover, facing the enemy's blade in this way, the talent of licking blood from the knife edge can also be brought into full play, making him more and more familiar with this feeling of life and death fighting.
Combat skills are also improving rapidly.
In this way, Zhao Haiping died again and again, and came back again and again.
……
At this time, Meng Yuan and Shenshang were also paying attention to the performance of the players.
Holding a large chicken leg, the merchant said with some concern while nibbling: "It's been nearly two days, and there are still five days left before that history slice invasion. So far, no one has been able to clear the Trials dungeon.
"Will they really succeed in the next five days?"
Meng Yuan was not too panicked: "You don't understand the creature of the player.
"Although they look embarrassed now, this is a wasteland after all.
"Once one player breaks through, all the other players progress by leaps and bounds. Players are a magical group that levels up collectively.
"At least now I've found two or three good seedlings.
"Anyway, why do you keep eating?"
Meng Yuan looked at the big chicken leg in the hand of the participating merchants, and tears of displeasure almost flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Shen Shang said: "It's not because the power of the Order is consumed too much, my strength is not as good as before!"
"I was supposed to be an adult, but now because of my lack of strength, I not only shrink my body, but also get hungry easily."
Meng Yuan asked, "Then when will you be able to eat enough?" ”
Samshang sighed softly: "The food you see is all conjured up by me to comfort myself, but it doesn't actually have any effect. Devouring the power of slices of history is what allows me to return to, or even beyond, the original state.
"That's why I'm worried. Because the further back you go, the closer the slice of history that intersects with reality will be to the ancient period, and the power of demons will become stronger and stronger. If we can't deal with the first slice of history smoothly and strengthen ourselves, then the battle will only get harder and harder, or even have no chance of winning at all. ”
Meng Yuan nodded: "Understood." But don't worry too much, I trust these players. ”
The participants also continued to look at the scene where the players cleared the level.
"You just said that there are two or three players who are optimistic, which ones?"
Meng Yuan pointed to the scene he was focusing on.
"First of all, of course, this Zhao Haiping. He did well in the Assassin and Warrior Trials Illusion, and I think he would probably be able to clear the Assassin Trials if he were to the death. But now, it seems that he is still more interested in the profession of martial arts.
"His combat talent is among the best among all players, and when he can really brush through the first stage perfectly and enter the second stage as a lieutenant, it should only be a matter of time before he clears the trial of the martial arts.
"I think one more day, it should be about the same.
"The second is this player named Chu Ge. Although his combat effectiveness is very weak, he can be called the five scum of war, but he has a lot of historical knowledge and a strong ability to solve puzzles.
On the first day of the launch of "Dark Sand", he posted on the Internet that basically determined the goals and gameplay of the game, pointing out the historical stages corresponding to several trials, so that players could avoid many detours.
"Now he's trying to figure out how to overcome the trial of the scribes, and it looks like he's making it to the fourth round.
"There is also this player named Huo Yunying, who seems to have some martial arts skills in reality, and he can get started quickly in the Ranger dungeon. At present, his combat effectiveness has fully reached the standard, and what he lacks is the ideas and acting skills required to clear the dungeon.
"Of course, in addition to these three guys, there are other players who are doing well. For example, this player named Du Gang, he has no particularly outstanding advantages, but his overall quality is good, and his abilities in all aspects are very average.
"Moreover, I always feel that his identity in reality should not be simple."
"Do you want to know his career in reality?" I can find out. ”
Meng Yuan immediately shook his head: "Don't use it yet, there's no need for this for the time being." Now the players are still in the exploration stage, and the players who stand out at this stage are not necessarily the strongest, so it is better to observe and observe. ”
Shen Shang couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you to get into the dungeon by yourself and be dizzy and don't know anything, and when you comment on these people, it's a set." ”
Meng Yuan smiled: "Just kidding, I'm a top cloud player. Although I can't play the game, I have a good set of instructions. ”
The merchant asked, "Then how soon do you think these players will be able to clear the level?" ”
Meng Yuan did not hesitate: "One more day at most!" And as long as one player clears the level, there will be a large number of players who will clear the level soon. ”
……
Day 3, 10 p.m.
Zhao Haiping once again entered the game world of "Dark Sand".
He took a deep breath and calmed down.
"It feels like I've prepared pretty much everything beforehand.
"The combat effectiveness has basically reached a bottleneck, and the relevant preparations have been made, especially in the face of the general's rhetoric, I have already asked Chu Ge to help me with the staff, it should not be a big problem.
"As for the third stage, it is likely that it will only be able to rely on pure hard power.
"I'm in a better state, and it's possible to break three stages in one go today!"
Although Zhao Haiping is still stuck in the first stage, after such a long time of preparation, he is already full of confidence.
Before quitting the game yesterday, he was basically able to clear the first stage without intimidating or retreating.
The natural skill of licking blood from the knife edge allowed him to have a better performance in hand-to-hand white-knuckle combat and in the state of having more than one enemy, and the continuous fighting and tempering in the past two days also made a huge leap in his cold weapon combat skills.
Zhao Haiping was extremely sure in his heart that as long as he could kill enough Beidi barbarians in the first stage, then after entering the second stage, his identity would inevitably change.
And for the second and third stages, he is also fully prepared.
During the day, he added Chu Ge's contact information and discussed the copy with him in detail.
Chu Ge is the player who posted on the Internet before to determine the historical period of these trial dungeons. He seems to be currently working on the Scribe's Trials dungeon.
Zhao Haiping is currently the person who has made the fastest progress in the martial arts copy, and Chu Ge is of course happy to communicate with him.
After Chu Ge analyzed the content of the copy of the martial guard, he specially finalized a set of rhetoric for Zhao Haiping.
This set of rhetoric makes the greatest use of the characteristics of the people of this era, and it is a set of statements that Chu Ge believes are most likely to convince the general.
In this way, even if Zhao Haiping can't become a deputy general at a stage, and his status is relatively low, such as being just a personal guard, using this set of rhetoric can greatly improve the probability of convincing the general.
As for what the three phases will look like, Zhao Haiping has not seen it yet, so Chu Ge has no way to give a specific response plan, so he can only estimate in advance how to deal with some emergencies according to historical records.
Zhao Haiping prepared all these things during the day, and then confidently entered the martial arts trial of "one will succeed".
Back to the beginning.
Zhao Haiping very skillfully chose the natural skill of licking blood from the knife edge, and then looked at the Beidi barbarians under the city, holding a bow in his left hand and reaching for the quiver with his right hand.
Siege warfare starts again!
