Chapter 1: Bloody City
Not far from the hillside there is a bar that serves a lively atmosphere. A large group of people were drinking and talking lively, men and women of all kinds. To Shen Yi's surprise, there were still people who did (sex) in public in the bar, but the people next to him ignored them. Seeing Hong Lang and a few of them coming in with Shen Yi, a bald man with a naked body shouted: "Hey, Hong Lang, you kid caught another stupid fish." ”
"That's it, how much did you earn this time? or 300 bloody points?" said someone else.
"It's a ghost fish. Hong Lang replied helplessly.
"Damn!" a group of people in the bar shouted at the same time, "There is a ghost fish?
"Well, he took the initiative to shoot us. A guy behind Hong Lang said.
A group of people in the bar looked at Shen Yi with surprise and surprise at the same time, and even the couple who were making (sex) stopped their movements and looked at Shen Yi with disbelief.
Shen Yi followed Hong Lang and a group of people to sit down at a random table, called the maid to ask for 50 bottles of beer, paid for 1 blood point with the blood point function marked on the watch, and said casually: "It's rare like me?"
Hong Lang nodded: "How many people do you think can be like you, who dare to shoot back when a large group of people put guns to their heads? It's not that you have to pay as many bloody points as you want? When Lao Tzu first passed the newcomer level, he was also blackmailed by hundreds of people. Later, I learned that this ghost place is not allowed to attack each other at all, and I regretted it greatly. Don't you look at the group of two hundred and five in this bar so rampant, which of the fuck wasn't exploited in the first place? Only a few people escaped because there was no one to watch when they appeared, and they knew the situation in time. ”
"And how much did you get at the time?"
"800 points, knocked out 300. ”
Only 800 blood points can be obtained after a newcomer level? Shen Yi was slightly stunned.
He got 7,800 blood points for the novice mission this time, and after leaving the mission world, the blood emblem immediately automatically deducted 1,000 blood points for Scarface, and even then there were still 6,800 blood points left. Originally, I thought that even if most newcomers got less than themselves, the gap would not be too big, but now when I heard Hong Lang say this, I was really surprised that my novice task was eight times that of the other party.
"That's right. Hong Lang asked Shen Yi: "I said that before your kid entered the rookie mission, what was the situation?"
"Kill. Shen Yi replied.
"How many did you kill?"
"Seven were killed, sixteen were seriously wounded, and eight of them were seriously maimed. ”
"Damn! No wonder you're so ruthless. Hong Lang scolded: "Then you are reincarnated by the dead." Well, that's also a way for entrants. There are a lot of people who have entered the Bloody City, and everyone is different, and until now we haven't figured out what the guy who brought us here used as a benchmark to bring us in. Before I entered here, I was an ordinary worker, and I was arguing with the foreman in class that day, and I came here when I was having a good time. As for the buddies around me, some of them were hit by a car while walking on the road, they still belonged to the earth when they were in the air, and they crossed when they fell, some were surfing the Internet, and some were sleeping. There is also a buddy who is the most unique, who was brought in when he was doing (love), completed the novice task with a bare ass, and after entering the bloody city, he got a nickname called the Terminator. ”
Everyone laughed together, and Shen Yi also laughed a few times.
The atmosphere that had been somewhat hostile gradually eased as a result.
Hong Lang had a few beers to drink, and immediately opened the conversation box and introduced the situation in the bloody city.
It turns out that the entire bloody city is actually a city specially opened up for adventurers to survive.
The entire city is divided into five zones. They are slums, ordinary areas, apartment areas, villa areas and independent islands. Corresponding to these five living areas are five different levels of task difficulty. Shen Yi: The area where they are currently located is a slum.
To survive in the slums, adventurers do not have their own housing, and usually can only sleep in the open air, and most adventurers sleep in improvised tents, which can be bought for only 30 blood points. Fortunately, there is no rainy season here, the weather is sunny all year round, and the blood coat of arms has a storage function, so there is no big trouble.
The ghetto is where beginner adventurers live, and only after reaching the rank of corporal can they enter the normal area.
The rank is the basic level of the adventurer in the Bloody City, which is based on the adventurer's performance in the mission.
The performance of the tasks is very poor, average, excellent, and perfect.
Rank promotion requires one Perfect Rating, or two Excellent, or five Average.
The corporal can enter the general area, the second lieutenant into the apartment area, the major into the villa area, and the major general into the independence island. I heard that the highest can be up to the marshal. And only the marshal was eligible to enter the Babel Pagoda in the center of the city. It is said that you can challenge the final mission there.
When you complete the final mission, Bloody City will fulfill one of your wishes.
In addition, there are five districts in the Bloody City, each with different functional facilities.
For example, if you want to upgrade your weapons, you have to do research in ordinary areas, which is not possible in slums. In the apartment area, there are mercenary camps, where you can hire urban mercenaries, and in the villa area, there are luxury casinos, sacrificial halls, and so on.
Adventurers in the five difficulty areas are not allowed to interact with each other, but they need to pay 100 blood points for each entry and exit, and they can only stay for a limited time. If you walk from the slum to the villa area, you need to pay 300 blood points, and you have to pay another 300 blood points when you walk back.
Suffice it to say, Bloody City is a fully functional city in its own right. There are various functional facilities such as supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants, and in some places, there are dedicated staff.
The staff are all adventurers, in order to earn some blood points. Like the barmaid who brought them beer just now, she is actually an adventurer, and she can get a hundred blood points for serving here every month. That scar-faced novice instructor job is actually a life occupation.
The consumer life of all the people here is all carried out by the blood point. 1 point of gore is almost equivalent to a hundred dollars in the real world, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy anything.
The Bloody Point is not only a guarantee of survival, but also the key to strengthening yourself. The shops in Bloody City have a wide variety of weapons, skills for sale, and even to improve your stats.
In the slums, every 100 blood points increase the stat by 1. As long as he invested enough blood points, Shen Yi could completely turn himself into a formidable existence like the vampire Dracula.
As for the quest world, once you can't complete the quest, many times it comes at the cost of deducting blood points. Those who are not enough blood points are obliterated.
All in all, the bloody point is the key to the strength and survival of adventurers, so it is no wonder that veteran adventurers try their best to rob and deceive newcomers.
As for those items obtained from the quest world, they can also be exchanged for gore points. However, the item trading function can only be turned on three hours after the newbie enters the city. Therefore, veteran adventurers are unable to loot newcomers' belongings. This may be the city's protection of newcomers, so that newcomers will not be left with nothing because they are blackmailed.
However, for many adventurers, robbing newcomers is not a good idea, and a senseless feud is likely to bring unnecessary trouble to themselves after entering the mission world in the future. This is also the reason why Hong Lang only extorted 300 points - this number can try to prevent some newcomers from desperately looking for you in the mission world due to great hatred after being blackmailed, and later it has gradually become a common rule in the bloody city - leaving a way back for newcomers and a way out for themselves.
Of course, there are also some people who are not taboo in meat and vegetarian, and the lion opens his mouth wide, grabbing as many as he wants, but this kind of person is very easy to cause public outrage, and the result is that they die early in the mission world.
Therefore, in the bloody city, there are those who live in the profession, those who rob newcomers, those who waste their time, those who are drunk and dreaming of death, those who are immersed in hard work, and those who are ignorant and know how to pass.
Different people choose different lifestyles.
There is content about the bloody city, which is huge and complicated, and Hong Lang talked about it for most of the day, and Shen Yi gradually understood.
"Everything about the Bloody City, except for the memories that the city left on you when you first came here, all the other secrets must be found by ourselves. Some of the answers and rules are something you have figured out on your own, and some of them have only been heard. There may be rumors in between, and there may be truth, but unless it goes that far, no one knows whether it's true or not. And even if it's true, what if it's true?marshal...... How many people can raise their ranks to this level in this world of life and death? Anyway, I haven't heard of it, and I haven't seen it. ”
Speaking of this, Hong Lang's tone was a little embarrassed, his eyes were full of despair, and he obviously didn't think that he was qualified to go that far.
Not everyone can be as calm about their environment as Shen Yi.
Shen Yi finally understood why there were even people in this bar who were doing (love) on the street, in this environment where they didn't know tomorrow's life and death, many people had begun to let go of the traditional moral and legal shackles and enjoy every inch of their time when they were alive.
Shen Yi patted Hong Lang's shoulder: "Forget it, why be so worried." I think it's not bad, I love it. ”
Hong Lang looked at him blankly for a long time before he said, "Perverted." You know? Anyone who says they like this place either dies early or becomes very powerful. ”
"Then I must be the latter. Shen Yi replied with a smile.
―――――――――――
After introducing the general situation of the bloody city, Shen Yi learned some other things from Hong Lang.
For example, if you want to strengthen yourself, you have to go to a specialized store. There, you can strengthen a stat with just a hundred blood points. Weapons and skills can also be purchased in the shop. With D level as the standard, 3000 blood points are a D level, double D is 6000, C level is 9000, double C is 18000, the higher up, the more expensive the price, of course, the more powerful.
In addition, to learn various abilities, you need to spend not only a huge amount of blood points, but also the corresponding basic abilities.
The so-called basic ability, divided into spear mastery, archery mastery, combat mastery, water-based mastery, mechanical mastery, blasting mastery, etc., divided into basic, advanced, expert, master, grandmaster five levels. These basic abilities are the basic requirements for adventurers to learn and use skills, except for the basic level abilities that can be obtained directly by spending blood points, and the improvement can generally only be achieved through hard training, otherwise it can only be improved through ability scrolls.
The ability system of Bloody City is mainly divided into five categories: skills, talents, abilities, exercises, and bloodlines.
Among them, skills need to occupy the combat skill column, which can directly kill the target, which is the most direct need of the combat category.
Abilities require a natural ability slot, and most abilities can't directly kill the target.
Bloodlines and exercises do not need to occupy the ability column, but one requires cheats and blood points to learn, and the other needs the corresponding blood and blood points.
Adventurers can choose a variety of exercises to cultivate, and bloodlines can only choose one, but they often have some special racial skills. For example, if you have an intermediate vampire bloodline, you can use the vampire race skill vampire.
As for talent, it is the adventurer's own ability. Having a certain talent can make it more efficient to learn skills in that area, and there is a great chance of producing mutated skills, but this aspect cannot be obtained through rewards, and the effect varies completely from person to person.
Therefore, in the early days of adventurers, most adventurers choose some combat skills to learn first, but in the future, if they want to be truly strong, they must work hard in three aspects: ability, bloodline, and exercises.
After explaining this part, Hong Lang basically told everything he knew.
50 blood points in exchange for this information is a relatively satisfying thing for both parties. Some of the questions that Shen Yi didn't understand and doubted suddenly became clear, and the goal of his efforts gradually had a direction.
Although he has gained a lot from this novice mission, according to Hong Lang, there is almost no limit to the enhancement of adventurers, it depends on how hard you work to do it.
The mood came out of the shadow of the failure of fraud, and Hong Lang personally poured Shen Yi a full glass of wine: "I said brother, I haven't asked you what your name is." ”
"My name is Shen Yi. ”
"What kind of novice mission are you doing this time? Seeing that you are so heroic, eighty percent of you have reaped a lot of benefits in the mission, right?"
"It's okay. Shen Yi replied lightly: "Van Helsing." ”
"Hell, I actually bumped into the magic world, this is a small probability. Hong Lang muttered: "The slum is a world of initial difficulty, and most of the mission scenes are gunfight scenes, after all, for those of us who have not been in the city for a long time, guns are always the best to use." Only those adventurers above the normal zone will find fists more useful than guns. You just came across the magical world, and I don't know if you should say that you were unlucky or lucky. ”
"It's good luck to come out alive. Shen Yi said lightly.
Someone not far away shouted: "The difficulty of the magic world is a little bigger, but the task rewards are also rich." I think this kid has a lot of courage, and I bet he will never choose 25 percent difficulty, either 50 percent or 100 percent. ”
"One hundred percent. Shen Yi replied.
There was a murmur from the crowd.
Everyone knows how difficult it is to be 100 percent.
"Then you should have a good harvest. Even if you can't kill Dracula, you will benefit a lot. Someone else said.
Shen Yi turned his head: "How do you know that I can't kill Dracula?"
Hong Lang immediately said: "No one has ever done it. The novice tasks are basically fixed, and we all know which ones they are. Dracula is the final boss of the Van Helsing world, and only appears at more than 50% difficulty, and even more at 100% difficulty. Not a single newcomer has ever killed that guy on 100% difficulty, and at 50% difficulty, someone has done so, but very rarely. Some novices have challenged Dracula on 100% difficulty and failed in all of them. Fortunately, the failure of that mission will not erase the newcomers, so a few people are lucky to escape. Anyone who was able to escape from under the 100% difficulty Dracula is now a cow in the Bloody City. It is said that Dracula's guy has 3,000 life force after transforming, and his skill attacks are even more terrifying and terrifying. Even now, it's a tough problem for us to deal with, let alone you newcomers. ”
Shen Yi nodded: "Yes." ”
The expression on his face was very calm, and he was a little confused when he saw Hong Lang.
I said...... You're not going to tell me you killed Count Dracula, are you?"
Shen Yi smiled but did not answer.
The whole bar suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Shen Yi in a daze.
After thinking about it, Shen Yi said: "No matter how powerful the boss is, there is only one meaning for its existence - to be killed. ”
