Chapter 82: You're Not Real NPCs!
Three days later, in the Jade Seal Plain of Tiannan Prefecture, two lights were lit in front of the portal of the red jade camp, and in the light, the silhouettes of a man and a woman gradually became clear.
For an online game that no longer has any players online, this portal that can go directly from Cangxi Prefecture to the front of Tiannan Sword Shrine has not been lit for a long time - NPCs in the game will not use player portals. At this time, the two rays of light were as inspiring as the bright moon in the dark night.
In the camp, several NPCs of different shapes immediately approached, enthusiastically introducing the various situations of this frontline camp and selling their own groceries.
The Ruby Camp is one of the countless camps set up by NPC monks on the Jade Seal Plain, like a point in the galaxy. According to the game's backstory, there is a fairy sword mound that fell in ancient times hidden under this plain, and it is said that there is a fairy sword sealed in it, and there are countless rare treasures to accompany the burial. The legend of the treasure is the most fascinating, so there are thousands of digger camps on the Jade Plain trying to dig up the sword mound.
Actually, of course, this setting is for the convenience of the player. Although there are thousands of camps on the Jade Seal Plain, and dozens of times as many diggers, they will never be able to touch the Sword Shrine until the player triggers the relevant mission. The purpose of the existence of these NPCs is just to provide players with abundant resources for posting peripheral quests.
Before the game was over, Ruby Camp was often crowded with players - as a wide range of comparisons had been found to be the best value for money and the best featured goods for sale. As a result, it has been overcrowded for a long time, but unfortunately it has never regained its former grandeur except for a few lonely quest release NPCs.
"Two stacks of vajra talismans, two bottles of jade dew pills, and a high-grade sword box. ”
In the face of the sales merchants who came up, Wang Ye skillfully selected the goods, and then handed over a handful of colorful spirit stones, looking at the smug appearance of the NPCs, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It wasn't easy to buy these things back then. ”
Sun Yi asked, "What, these things are very special?"
"Very special. Wang Ye explained, "The Vajra Talisman and the Jade Dew Pill are all big road goods, but these merchants are selling a special version of the Jade Seal Plain, which has a very high special bonus to the wild monsters on this plain. However, this kind of treasure is naturally not in unlimited supply, these NPCs have limited inventory on them, and they are refreshed every three days, generally speaking, they are monopolized by a few big guilds, and idle players can only start at high prices through scalpers. ”
After speaking, Wang Ye tore off a vajra talisman, and as soon as he crushed it with both hands, the rune paper turned into a streamer, shrouded the two of them, and disappeared again after a while.
"Is that okay?" Sun Yi asked.
"It's already okay, the basic defense of the Vajra Fu plus the special area bonus, our body is equivalent to the permanent battleship-level protective armor, and the wild monsters on the Jade Seal Plain basically can't cause effective damage to us. ”
After speaking, Wang Ye stepped a little bit, the anti-gravity module was activated, and the invisible buoyancy supported him to fly into the air. The sky above the red jade camp was a warning area for a group of wild monsters, and soon after Wang Ye took off, a group of golden-winged monster birds with an extremely strong desire to attack immediately launched an attack on it.
These strange birds are more than two meters long, and their wings are ten meters away, and their size is extremely huge, and every time they wave their wings, they will have golden feathers like spears.
Wang Ye didn't dodge or dodge, nor did he summon a ship to defend, he only used his hands to block his face, and let Jin Yu hit one after another. The feather arrow, which was the thickness of a forearm, struck him, and only made a muffled sound, and was turned into powder by the strong resistance, and Wang Ye did not even leave a white mark on his arm.
At the same time, there were also golden feathers that failed to hit and fell to the ground, and the golden light exploded, filling the sky with mud and sand, showing amazing destructive power. The attack power of this golden feather is comparable to that of a single grenade, but it can't even hurt a single hair of Wang Ye's hair, which is obviously the credit of the Vajra Fu.
With this invincible talisman, Wang Ye easily destroyed the strange bird, and he casually summoned the rocket launcher of Yi Jipu, and hundreds of miniature homing missiles were fired in a volley, instantly submerging the golden-winged monster bird.
After a while, the firelight dissipated, and only the wreckage of the strange bird that was slowly sprinkled in the air remained, and Wang Ye used the traction magnetic beam to collect the materials dropped by the strange bird and slowly landed.
"See, these strange birds are typical of high attack and low defense, if they don't have the vajra talisman body, even if they can be killed, they will be easily injured by the golden feather. This is the only difficulty in the strategy of the Golden Feather Guardian on the Jade Seal Plain, and it doesn't exist now. ”
Sun Yi was quite amazed, and repeatedly played with a vajra talisman: "Speaking of which, this small piece of talisman paper is so miraculous...... If it's just a game, it's fine, but we're obviously in it, and there should always be a reason for this magical phenomenon, why?"
Wang Ye's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but smile: "Do you still have this kind of leisure and leisure to get to the bottom of the matter? I have indeed thought about this question, if it is according to the internal logic of this game world, it will naturally be the result of the flow of mana and the launch of spells. But with the analysis of scientific logic, we can think of it as a kind of nano coating, once excited, it can cover our body with a layer of defensive coating. Huaxia's high-energy laboratory has been tossing this kind of thing some time ago, and it has been quite effective. ”
Sun Yi nodded: "What about the Yulu Pill?"
Wang Ye explained: "After eating, it can deal a 30% damage bonus to the wild monsters on the Jade Seal Plain. We might as well understand it as a virus weapon, effective only against hostile creatures on the Jade Plain. After we take it, the virus will multiply in the body and spread through the air and other channels. These viruses are harmless to humans, but harmful to mobs, which is how the damage bonus works. ”
"So what's the principle of those gold-winged birds?"
"There have long been similar biological weapons in the Diluo Black Mountain Laboratory, although the strength is not so high, but the principle is the same. ”
The smile on Sun Yi's face became thicker and thicker: "Then, in this world, what about those immortal monks who are flying to the sky?"
"They're the same kind as us, and in a sense, they're really specially modified super-soldiers. ”
"Then what about the peerless divine sword in the Tiannan Sword Shrine? According to the story and legend in the game, it is a supreme artifact that is enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, and the power is probably not inferior to the Star Destroyer Cannon of our real plane space fortress, if Teacher Sun Ze can create this kind of thing, why bother to come to this world to live in seclusion?"
Wang Ye couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes, why do you say?"
"It's getting more and more interesting, isn't it?"
The two were discussing with great interest, when suddenly, there was a shaking of the mountains in the distance.
Wang Ye immediately activated the Demon Eye to look at the epicenter, and his line of sight penetrated a distance of hundreds of kilometers, only to see a group of monks stepping on flying swords, unfolding various immortal methods, fighting to the death with several huge and burly beasts.
Wang Ye sighed lightly: "Hell, there are actually NPCs brushing the watchdog of the Sword Shrine!"
"What do you mean?" Sun Yi was stunned for a moment, "After the game is closed, aren't the NPCs only left with the functions of daily operation and won't run around?"
"There are two possibilities, first, every time the game world comes to a certain period of time, it will advance a main story, and now this is probably part of the plot advancement. The second possibility is that these NPCs are probably not pure NPCs...... Damn! Those guys still know how to collect dropped items! The inner pills and spirit treasure fragments dropped by the giant beasts guarding the gate have all been taken away by them!"
"So you're a competitor?"
Sun Yi's eyes froze, his face sank slightly, and he no longer discussed the principle of the game world with Wang Ye. swallowed a gyokuro pill in one gulp, and then unfolded the heavy battleship's main gun, and two clusters of bright and dazzling, like a brilliant sun, high-energy plasma, condensed at the muzzle.
"That's the end of the gossip, I'll be in charge of the fire suppression later, and you go to the hand-to-hand fight. These NPCs who can rob monsters are weird, so let's brush them first!"
Before the words fell, two muffled thunderous shots of the main guns resounded in all directions.
