Chapter 26: The Way of Forging
Five days later, Zheng Shuanglong finally wiped out the identity of the orange player. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info can finally enter the safety of the main block and host a party to welcome Argo to the Void Brigade. There is also a celebratory feast about Asuna becoming a member of the Void Brigade.
Of course, because a lot of materials were purchased for Xili, which were used to forge and process weapons and equipment, and to update the relationship between the equipment of the team members, even if the boss of the first layer was defeated and got a considerable amount of Cole, he couldn't withstand such consumption, and he was relatively nervous at hand, so he naturally held the two banquets together, which could save a lot of Cole.
Although the two banquets were held together, it seemed a little shabby, but under Zheng Shuanglong's superb cooking skills and delicious dishes, this little bit of shabby was covered up in this way.
The weapons and equipment have been completely renewed, and the combat effectiveness has naturally been significantly improved, coupled with Argo's intelligence support, the collection of various tasks, the advantages and disadvantages of various hunting grounds, and the support of the map, the leveling speed of the Void Brigade has been greatly improved, and the materials and Cole have also greatly satisfied the consumption of Xili's forging skills.
The accumulation of an astonishing amount of materials and materials allowed Xi Li's forging skills to be significantly improved, and he was soon promoted to the level of advanced forging. The improvement of Xili's forging technology can provide better weapons and equipment for the members of the Void Brigade, and under this virtuous circle, the combat power and strategy efficiency of the Void Brigade have been optimally developed.
If it weren't for the fact that the room of the second-layer boss hadn't been found, Zheng Shuanglong's Void Brigade might have knocked down the second-layer boss.
The one in Argo's hand had information about the additional skill, but in the end, he didn't tell Theo, because, afraid of Theo's possible anger, he finally quietly swallowed the information that was very likely to cause this additional skill [Physical Technique] to be swallowed into his stomach. After all, the mission brought by that intelligence is really disgusting.
It is disgusting to the point that it is very likely that the player who receives this task will resent Argo for the rest of his life, so for the sake of the player and himself, Argo is unwilling to sell this information.
The second layer, the grassland.
Zheng Shuanglong, who was leveling up with Argo, killed an anxious cow with a light sword, and asked Argo with a smile: "Since those two ninja-like guys don't know the location of the mission, why do they know the details of the skill of physical arts, and Argo holds this information?" ”
Argo, who happily rubbed his experience, said seriously: "This is a gift." At that time, at the end of the closed beta era, I learned the information of the [Second Layer Body Master] from the NPCs on the seventh floor. And I found out before that, by my own strength. Those two ninjas probably learned about them from the NPCs on the seventh floor during the closed beta period. That's why they thought of buying the information on the extra skills on the second floor from me, who gave me the guide book. ”
If the level is not enough, it will be a bad thing for that player, and in the case of Argo, if the level is not enough, it will be difficult to go deep into the maze to explore the location of the boss room. Therefore, Zheng Shuanglong, as a lone player, Zheng Shuanglong, as the strongest swordsman of the Void Brigade, and as the leader of the Void Brigade, are obliged to take Argo and Xili for leveling activities in their free time.
Of course, more of them are Argo, an intelligence merchant. After all, Xi Li had already withdrawn from the front-line battle and was wholeheartedly a forger who supported the Void Brigade.
Looking at Argo, Zheng Shuanglong was a little speechless, and after coming over for a long time, after the wild monster brushed out, he couldn't help but say: "In that case, why didn't you say 'I don't know' at that time?" In that case, there would be no such thing. ”
Faced with Zheng Shuanglong's hypothetical question, Argo put on an unhappy expression and said, "If I say 'I don't know', it will damage my face as an intelligence agent." ”
Faced with Argo's inexplicable persistence that he didn't know what to say, Zheng Shuanglong was really powerless, and said with a wry smile: "So, did you say the words 'although you know, but don't sell'." Well, it's not like I can't understand the mood...... So, the reason why you don't sell to them is because you're afraid that the buyer will hate you. However, according to what you say, there are really many enemies in the intelligence merchant industry, and it has been hard work......"
Argo, who happily rubbed his experience, shook his head slightly, and said seriously: "The resentment of selling information or being sold will be forgotten in just three days!" However, this information is different! If you don't do it, that hatred will last a lifetime......"
Looking at Argo's trembling short body, Zheng Shuanglong said with a happy face: "Fortunately, I was not trapped by you, otherwise, there would definitely be a lot of problems." It's not a simple thing to be able to make Argo's heart palpitate. ”
"Hmph~ For the sake of you taking me to level up, that's why I didn't continue to pit you, otherwise, I would definitely be pitted to death, no discussion." With a proud look on his face, Argo said proudly.
"Alright, proud Argo, have you found the boss room on the second floor? I think after this period of leveling, our Void Brigade should be able to bring down this boss. Zheng Shuanglong tapped the ground, the one-handed sword in his hand waved a few times with golden brilliance, and after killing the three anxious cows, he smiled at Argo and asked.
"No, yesterday, the players just knocked down the boss in the area before the maze area, and explored the maze area, not to mention the deepest boss room in the maze area, it is estimated that even the first ten floors of the maze area have not been explored. In this case, it is difficult for me to find the boss's room, after all, the location of the current boss room is very different from the location of the boss room during the closed beta, not in the same place at all, and even, the maze area has changed slightly, which is a big obstacle to my intelligence collection. Muttering, Argo said a little angrily.
After quickly cleaning up the anxious cow that had refreshed in his position, Zheng Shuanglong looked at Argo, who had always maintained a subtle expression, and asked, "Is this so...... So, Argo, how long will it take to find the boss's room, the sooner you find it, the sooner you can end the leveling of the second layer. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the labyrinth area was really too complicated and too big, I would have killed the third layer a long time ago, and the monsters on the second layer provided the experience and Cole, which were obviously not enough to see. The most important thing is that the second part of the blood elf's counterattack mission has to be carried out on the fifth layer. ”
"So, then I'll speed up my exploration of the labyrinth area, and of course, in order to reduce the risk, you have to accompany me, Captain." After thinking about it seriously, Argo pointed at Zheng Shuanglong and said seriously.
Letting Zheng Shuanglong accompany him is definitely for the reason of reducing the risk, not to enjoy more time with Zheng Shuanglong. Argo thought with a little blushing.
"Yes, yes, then, let's go back and prepare for it first, the labyrinth area is not like this grassland, the danger is a little high, of course, the experience of the wild monsters and Cole is also relatively high." Zheng Shuanglong, who cut down an anxious cow with a sword, put away his one-handed sword with a smile and said.
"Understood, then, let's go back first." Hearing Zheng Shuanglong's words, Argo quickly checked the durability of the materials and equipment on his body. Said seriously: "First of all, I have to go to Xili to replenish the durability back." The rest of the materials will be handed over to Xili to dispose of, whether it is used for forging or selling, it is always necessary to free up a lot of backpack capacity. ”
…………
Main block, near the central square.
"Don't ...... No kidding!! On the way back to the main block to reach the private house rented by the Void Brigade, a sudden shout made Zheng Shuanglong and Argo stop.
The situation ahead. In front of the road was a slightly wider square, from which the commotion seemed to be coming.
Zheng Shuanglong, who was a little curious, waved his hand at Argo, signaling her to sort out the supplies first, and then quickly leaned towards the place where the commotion occurred.
Onlookers are one of the fun of Chinese!
Looking at Zheng Shuanglong's figure that quickly disappeared into the crowd, Argo sighed, and then turned around and walked towards the Void Brigade's private house. Supplies, weapons, armor, shoes and the like, there are a lot of things, and it seems to be a unique quality of women, when dealing with these tedious things, even the young Fei and Tio are better than Zheng Shuanglong, which makes Zheng Shuanglong very hurt.
However, the matter is left to the experts. Zheng Shuanglong, who had such a concept, never bought supplies or anything like that, at most he just made a few small requirements for the quality of the replaced weapons and armor.
"Recovery, restoration!! Restore me! Enhancement 4...... Restore me to there!! Again, shouts were heard in the central square. Judging from the content, it looks like a contradiction between players and players.
It seems that onlookers are not only the nature of the Chinese, but also the Japanese, and now, in the central square, a large number of players stopped at a corner of the square, where the same shouts were intermittently made as before. Let Zheng Shuanglong understand that the commotion is caused here.
Zheng Shuanglong, who was curious, walked near the human wall, squeezed in along the gap, and stretched his neck in order to explore the reason for the riot.
"Why, why, why is this happening!! Why is the property going down!! There was a man with a flushed face and a man in metal armor and a helmet with three horns screaming incessantly. You can tell from the way you dress that this is a high-level player.
More than anything else, the center of the commotion was the one-handed straight sword in the right hand of the man with the three-horned helmet.
Since the blade could not damage anyone in the circle, the constant waving of the sword in the crowd caused some commotion. But the man, as if his blood was surging, kept slamming the tip of his sword into the stone floor, and screamed at the same time. "Why did you fail four times in a row! It's too much to become Plus0, so you might as well leave it to an NPC to do it! I'm responsible, stinky forger!! ”
Exposed to this crazy scolding for more than a few minutes, and having to stand still with a troubled expression, it was a small female player in a rustic brown leather apron outfit.
In the corner of the square where the female players are located, a gray blanket is spread, and a narrow space above is placed with chairs and anvils, as well as a display shed. The blanket was anything but cheap, it was a must-have for a simple player shop and a traveling merchant in the streets.
Of course, you can buy and sell items on the street without this blanket prop, but the durability of the props in the left state will continue to decrease, and you must be vigilant to prevent theft.
Merchants on the main block on each floor put up all kinds of carpets and opened shops, which was very lively, but it was the first time that anyone had opened a store after the official server of the SAO server of the death game. No, in that case, this is the first time I've seen a forge house opened by a player, not an NPC.
After all, it was very difficult for his own family's Xili to be in charge of the maintenance and forging of the weapons and equipment of the Void Brigade. Coupled with the fact that he had to deal with some of the loot from the Void Brigade, he simply didn't have time to set up a stall.
At this point, Zheng Shuanglong finally clarified the cause of the riot.
The man who kept smashing his sword to the ground, making a thumping sound, and shouting constantly, probably entrusted the [enhancement] of the sword to this female forger who was now depressed.
Although the NPC forging master looks like a dwarf master, in terms of forging skills, it is really not flattering! The poor ones are palpitating, and the success rate is terrible, so according to common sense, the success rate of players is much higher than that of NPCs in the same level of forging.
Of course, it is necessary to improve the proficiency of the associated skills, and these can be identified to some extent. If you forge the items required for the production of skills, you have to judge whether you can equip them based on your proficiency, and the setting of this game is so subtle.
Now, a few meters away from Zheng Shuanglong, the [Iron Hammer] is placed on the anvil of the depressed forging house, although it is worse than the [Steel Hammer] of Xi Li, who is already a high-level forger, but it is much higher than the [Bronze Hammer] skill used by the NPCs on this street.
In other words, the success rate of the female smith to strengthen the weapon is much higher than that of the NPC, and if it were the other way around, the deal would not be possible, so the triangle man would entrust her with the love sword. (To be continued.) )
