After watching the task, Shen Yi opened the team channel: "Is everyone there?"

"I'm in!"

"I'm in!"

A chorus of responses rang out.

Then he spoke softly: "Three months, this mission is not a short time." ”

"Compared to the plot itself, it's already short. King Kong said, "But the headache is what do we do now?"

King Kong's words spoke to the hearts of most people.

Adventurers are accustomed to receiving the main quest every time they enter the quest world, and at that time they don't need to think about what the purpose is, they only need to think about how to complete it, as if the generals gave orders and the team members completed the mission. Although the task is arduous, at least there is still a direction for effort.

Now that the city doesn't give the main line, everyone is a little uncomfortable for a while. They have no direction, so they can't make plans, and they don't even know what to do when they enter the world, just like children who have just stepped into society, facing a complex society with a blank face.

But this is also a process that they will inevitably go through, the transition from executors to decision-makers. In the future, they will face the powerful Zerg, and their only mission is to defeat the enemy.

And how to do this, they need to set their own goals and achieve them.

In this regard, when a quest world does not have any main quests, the first thing to do is to set a direction for yourself.

So after thinking about it at this moment, Shen Yi asked, "Where are you now?"

Gently replied, "I'm in a rice field." ”

King Kong replied, "I am in a field, and there is not a single figure around. Hell, the city is too irresponsible, just throw us into the wilderness and it's over. ”

"Me too. ”

"Me too. ”

Others responded, knowing nothing except that the system prompted that it was near Suzhou.

They don't even know which direction Suzhou is in.

Shen Yi said: "It seems that the first thing to do now is to find out the specific location of yourself first." ”

"Don't you need a team assembly order?" Hong Lang was puzzled. There is a team assembly order, why bother?

Shen Yi has already said: "The team assembly order can only help us get together, but it can't help us find Suzhou City." The immediate priority should be to familiarize yourself with the environment, so this time our first main quest is to find a way to get the map of the world. ”

This time when you enter the world of fairy sword, the city does not provide a corresponding map, so if nothing else, there should be a way to get a map in the world itself. Otherwise, from Suzhou to southern Xinjiang, there are countless places to experience, and it will take most of the time just to find the way.

The Bloody City sent everyone here, but it didn't let everyone be lost lambs.

"Wow!" Everyone whistled together, and Hong Lang shouted: "The main quest ordered by the boss himself, I said, what is the reward for completing it?"

Shen Yi replied with a smile: "There is no reward for completion, and everyone who does not complete it will play 30 boards, and they will not be allowed to go to the bar for a total of 30 days." ”

"You might as well kill me. Hong Lang shook his head and sighed.

At this moment, a sudden ringing prompt rang in everyone's ears:

"Mission Trigger: Eliminate the mountain bandits and Black Wind Village bandits rampant in Suzhou, task reward, map. ”

"This reward is issued by the Suzhou government, and giving up the reward can trigger subsequent tasks. ”

"......" everyone was speechless together.

"Heifeng Zhai, this name is really not new. Gentleness pursed her lips.

Instead, it was King Kong who snorted: "Follow-up mission...... Is this the beginning of a dead end?"

The so-called story maze is that the city will give you countless small tasks along the way according to your actions and performance, and each task may lead to a follow-up mission. When you accept a follow-up mission, your previous mission will not have any rewards, but will accumulate and amplify like a prize pool until you complete the last round, which will then give you a one-time reward.

But since it is a plot labyrinth, there must be countless dead ends.

The so-called dead end means that if the follow-up missions you perform are not related to the main story at the end, then unfortunately, the rewards for these missions may be very small, or even nothing.

If you walk a dead end in a row......

Don't forget that in this mission, those who earn less than 27,000 points will be wiped out.

This is the plot labyrinth, there is, there is an end, there is an intricate plot interspersed, you don't know what you are going to do in the next moment, your behavior is controlled by both yourself and the city, and at the same time you have to shuttle through the maze of the plot to make non-stop choices.

You may walk into a dead end again and again, and then pull out and turn around and plunge into a new one.

At this time, strong strength is no longer a guarantee of your success, a clear mind, accurate judgment, and strong intervention ability are the keys to ensure that the task is completed.

The task given by the bloody emblem at this moment is obviously the first plot fork that Shen Yi and the others encountered.

At this fork in the story, the reward is the map, and giving up the reward will lead to subsequent missions.

If this is a plot dead end, then it is conceivable that their abandonment of the map will result in a loss of terrain in the quest world.

But if you don't, then you're likely missing out on a critical mission to get a blood point.

Luckily, there is not only one way to the plot maze, and missing a key mission will not lead to a death-bound ending, at best it will be a waste of some time and lose some points, but if you miss it in a row, it is likely that after three months they will get nothing.

Sadly, there are many missions like this that use maps as bait, and some may even use artifacts as bait. Every time you choose to walk into a dead end, the consequence may be to miss a key mission, the more artifacts you choose, the more tasks you miss, and when you want to do more tasks to grab back points, it may be too late.

At that time, you may be facing the end of holding a bunch of artifacts but being wiped out because you don't earn enough points.

This is the plot maze!

At this moment, Shen Yi and the others are facing such a situation.

For them, there is no need to think about how to find the Black Wind Village, the city has already given a clear direction mark, and there is no need to think about how to eliminate the Black Wind Village, a small Black Wind Village bandit can't solve it, and the Broken Blade Team doesn't need to be mixed.

The only thing to consider is the choice of map and subsequent missions.

"I hate it. Hong Lang muttered angrily.

Wen Rou has already said: "I haven't heard that the Suzhou government has anything to do with Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, there should be no key points in this task." ”

King Kong has already said: "That's not easy to say, don't forget that there is a plot in the Legend of Sword and Fairy that happened in Suzhou." ”

"Lin Yueru?" asked gently.

"Yes. King Kong has already said: "Lin Yueru's father Lin Tiannan is the leader of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance, it is impossible for a gangster like this to have no friendship with the government, who knows what plot will be triggered by the follow-up mission, and whether it will be related to Lin Yueru because of this, which will lead to changes in key points." ”

"There's a lot to be said about it. Zhou Yiyu immediately said: "Some scientists have made statistics that two people living in any place on the earth can cross paths through a maximum of three people, this is the power of interpersonal networks." ”

Even in this era when there are no airplanes and ships, there is no need for more than five layers of connections to be connected in such a network of relationships.

"Then what do you mean?" asked Zhou Yiyu.

"I listen to the boss. Zhou Yiyu's words changed, and what he just said was equivalent to saying everything in vain.

Shen Yi laughed lightly: "In this case, Yi Yu, you go to do the Black Wind Village mission, and the others will go to Suzhou City, and wait for us to see the situation before making a decision." There is more than one adventurer entering this world, so there should be more than one map mission. We're always going to have to choose, we're going to have to give up, and the rest of us will have to walk around as much as we can to see if we can get another map mission. ”

"Understood. ”

The discussion was established, except for Zhou Yiyu who went to Heifeng Village, the others found their way to Suzhou City. They didn't know the way, so they walked around at will, anyway, as long as one person could get to Suzhou City, they could bring everyone else over with the help of the team assembly order.

Along the way, everyone also discussed what to do in this mission.

King Kong said: "I think we should still find a way to find Li Xiaoyao first. He is the protagonist of the plot, and the temporary tasks triggered from his side are even more critical. ”

"The question is how do we find it?" gentle interface: "Li Xiaoyao lives in Yuhang Inn, but we don't know where Yuhang Inn is, and we don't say it in the game." We don't know where the target is, we don't know where we are, how do we find it?"

Zhou Yiyu said as he marched towards Heifeng Village: "Then wait in Suzhou." Li Xiaoyao's first destination after leaving the Yuhang Inn was Suzhou, as long as we waited in Suzhou, we should be able to wait for them. ”

"The question is, do you know when Li Xiaoyao is coming, what does he look like, will he even come to Suzhou? Don't forget that this is a plot maze mode, and the plot is only respectful of the original book when it ends with the end, and the process may change a lot. Maybe Suzhou is not their first stop but their last stop?"

Zhou Yiyu was dumbfounded.

Shen Yi has already spoken: "With Lin Yueru here, Li Xiaoyao wants to take Lin Yueru away, and this stop in Suzhou should be inevitable." But no one knows what's going to happen in between. In addition, according to the system prompt, Li Xiaoyao will not go to Xianling Island until tomorrow, there is one day in this, and Xianling Island is actually the beginning of the plot. The system has given us this day, does it mean that if we can find Li Xiaoyao before the plot officially begins, it will make a major change in the plot?"

"You mean, the system gave us a day to find Li Xiaoyao before the plot began? But isn't the plot constant? Why do we need to intervene?"

"Then you can only know after you find Li Xiaoyao. Shen Yi stopped and looked up at the sky.

He muttered to himself: "This is a labyrinth of plots, but it is also a labyrinth of terrain. Luckily, I still have a way to find the person I'm looking for. ”

As he spoke, he took out the crystal pendant and typed Li Xiaoyao's name on Alina's thoughts.
