Chapter Ninety-Four: The Curse of Shadows

The enthusiasm of players in the game is getting higher and higher, and the income of props is also rising; But behind the prosperity, there are also some bad things that are taking root.

Even some of the more officially regulated games have gold mining studios in the store. A small number of studios don't affect the balance of the game, but once they become a climate, they can become a cancer in the game. The in-game market is inherently small, and even ordinary players like Hu Yu can manipulate the market price, let alone these studios. In the past few days, there has been an influx of studio players into the game, and although it has not yet matured, some businesses for buying and selling gold coins have already begun to appear. Price manipulation in the market is getting stricter and stricter, and players are already complaining.

The studio has shown great powers, and the game officials will naturally not sit idly by. A few days ago, the official changed the tax rate of the exchange. Every player above level 4O is allowed to make a tax-free trade every two days, but a certain percentage of the transaction tax will be charged. At first, there is a minimum tax rate of 7%, and the tax rate will gradually increase as the amount and number of transactions increases. Once it reaches a certain height, it receives special attention from the authorities. If it's a small trumpet in the studio, you'll be taken to jail by the 'tax officer' in the game.

This change doesn't have much impact on some players who are keen on doing business, and although it becomes a bit more troublesome to do a small business that buys low and sells high, the number of tax-free transactions every two days can save them a lot of money when selling valuables; The only thing that's a bit of a bad thing is that you also have to pay taxes when you trade privately, but most players don't complain about it.

But the people in the studio have a headache - they don't have time to slowly do tasks to fight bosses, and when the exchange is restricted, they can only build small accounts. However, building a small account is easy to be targeted by the authorities, and it will waste a lot of gold coins to transfer funds and items back and forth. If you are caught by the tax officer every once in a while, you won't have to do business.

However, the so-called policies and countermeasures, although these things are troublesome, they have not shaken the foundation of the studio's interests. Trumpet gold is still the main source of income for the studio, and if you use isolation tools and key wizards to fix dozens of trumpets to fix money, the gold mining efficiency is still not comparable to that of ordinary players. Although these trumpets will not touch any special events and will not participate in any game events, if there are more of them, they can still be used to make money quickly.

Because of the deposit of this phenomenon, even if there are restrictions on exchanges, there are still more and more money-brushing studios in this game. Just when these people thought they could sit back and make money with peace of mind, December arrived.

December 2 is still a normal day for most players. Hu Yu got up early in the morning and boarded the game 6 to prepare to brush up on the copy twice before class. Since the official version of "The Land of the Wind", Hu Yu has become more and more fascinated the more he plays; And the results he achieved were also quite rich - after nearly a month of hard work, or buy or exchange, after paying a lot of price, Hu Yu finally collected all eight pieces of Red Lotus Blade fragments, and spent tens of thousands of gold coins for the city's Xi NPC casters to help repair them, becoming the first player in the game to complete the legendary equipment.

With the Red Lotus Blade, his leveling level is faster, not only is he the first to reach level forty, but he also firmly occupies the first place on the level list today, when the upgrade level is getting slower and slower, which is not an easy task.

At the same time, his stronghold map 'Needle Mountain No Return Route' also topped the popularity list of the player's stronghold map, second only to the local tyrant who treats his S-class companion as a mob. This map was born out of his whim, as the ground under the feet of the challenger player will continue to crumble, and if they walk slowly, they will fall into the needle mountain below. Although the difficulty is a bit high, and it took a lot of effort and gold coins to make zuò, it was still judged by the system to be a high score of 91 points. Combined with the fun challenge mode and short map flow, this map now brings him a net income of more than 100 gold coins per day.

There is a class this morning, and Hu Yu plans to seize the time to brush up on his experience before class, at least not to let the fatigue recovery time be wasted. After skillfully entering the map, he began to brush up monsters.

After more than half a month of playing, Hu Yu already has his own way of fighting monsters. Specializing in low-level maps with dense monsters, you can create favorable battlefield terrain with the crystal barriers released by the two mages in turn, and then attack the stuck monsters with a large number of ranged class area damage skills, and you can basically fight without damage. In the game setting, shortening the battle time and fighting without injury can slow down the growth of fatigue points, so this method has become a fixed routine for Hu Yu's leveling. It's boring, but it's efficient.

And this morning was the same. Hu Yu was leveling up, and suddenly a black shadow shrouded from the other side of the screen. What is this? Hidden bosses? Hu Yu was overjoyed in his heart, and after killing the last two monsters, he was ready to turn back and start working, but he didn't expect the black shadow to float over like this, but the hidden boss had never seen one.

It's a large flying creature passing by.

Thinking so, Hu Yu sighed in some disappointment and moved his gaze back to the center of the screen. But at this look, Hu Yu was stunned - his current role and a few partners were shrouded in shadows. The flying creatures had clearly left, and the ground had regained its light, but several of the characters were still shrouded in shadows, and they had no idea what was going on.

Fortuity? I've never seen such a forcible incident before.

I took a look at the status bar, and sure enough, a small black logo was added to everyone's body - 'Shadow Curse':

The shadow of the cursed dragon 'Desolation' passed by, cursed by the shadows. XP gain is cleared, gold and item gains are cleared, and the duration is 48 hours. If the curse cannot be lifted within the duration, it will be hunted down by the Cursed Dragon's men. (Hint: Ask the pastor in the city, and there may be clues.) )

What is it? Is it cursed to be swept by the shadow of a monster? I've never heard of a 'cursed dragon', could it be that dragon that flew over just now?

The time was almost up, and Hu Yu didn't have time to delve into it, so he moved the character back to the city, didn't turn off the computer, took the textbook and ran to class. On the way, I met a fat man in the dormitory next door who was also playing "The Land of the Wind", and the fat man asked when they met: "Hu Yu, I encountered an incident this morning, what is the 'barren curse'......"

"I also encountered it, it's called the Shadow Curse, and I was cursed by the cursed dragon desolation that flew through the sky, and the experience and item acquisition were cleared, right?"

"I touched a magic circle and came out of the ground. Then the system prompted me to be teleported by the location magic array to the spatial rift where the cursed dragon inhabited, which was full of elite monsters, but without dropping items and experience, it was useless to go offline and restart. "There's also a curse that if you don't find a way to escape within forty-eight hours, the character will die and be hunted down by the Cursed Dragon." ”
