Chapter 46 Branches
As soon as she heard the news that her son was sick, Mrs. Shangshu immediately became anxious and hurriedly wanted to see her son, and Lin Yueru naturally wanted to follow.
Fortunately, Mrs. Shangshu didn't forget Shen Yi and them when she arrived, and asked her subordinates to arrange two guest rooms for them to live in first.
Shi Kuijie took the initiative to take this matter.
Watching a group of women leave, Shi Kuijie smiled at Shen Yi: "Sure enough, if Lin Yue doesn't come, Liu Jinyuan won't get sick." We're here early, and we'll have to wait for you guys to set off the story. ”
Shen Yi said lightly: "The capital is the main task area, you should have completed a few branch tasks, right?"
Shi Kuijie's face showed a bitter expression: "Don't mention it, there are a lot of side quests, but the problem is that they are not easy to do...... Let's go, let's take you to the guest room first. ”
As he walked, Shen Yi learned that after he and Ye Jiguang came to Shangshu Mansion, they had become the guardian of Shangshu Mansion by virtue of their relationship with saving Liu Jinyuan.
The reason why Shi Kuijie and Ye Jiguang came to the capital ahead of schedule was that in addition to improving their friendship with Liu Shengsheng and participating in the mission of Shangshufu, there was also a very important reason, that is, the capital was the main branch task release point mentioned by Shen Yi.
In the original plot of Fairy Sword, the development of the plot of Shangshufu is accompanied by several small tasks.
This makes the capital also a place with the most branch tasks.
The arrival of Shi Kuijie and Ye Jiguang is to complete one of the branch plots - Zijin Gourd.
The purple gourd is a special prop of the fairy sword world, and it comes with a spirit gourd spell technique. When the opponent's life force is less than one-tenth, there is a 20% chance that it will be sucked into the gourd, making it a raw material for alchemy. Each demon life can only be affected once.
Although it looks a little lower than the original Spirit Charm, it is already a fairly useful item for adventurers, which can reduce the cost of using drugs to fight with adventurers.
Since the Broken Blades already have an independent island and a large number of rare herbs, the demand for the Purple Gold Gourd is not very high, but for the Wasteland Warriors, the actual value of the Purple Gold Gourd is no less than a piece of A-level equipment.
Of course, it's not easy to get it.
In the original plot, the purple gourd was given by Li Xiaoyao when he found a dead merchant and sent his package to the wife of a merchant in the capital, and was given by the merchant's wife.
But in the mission world, this mission is not so simple.
In fact, this task was triggered when he was in Suzhou, and only adventurers who had completed the task of saving Liu Jinyuan could meet the robbed merchant on the way back to the capital to escort Liu Jinyuan. After defeating the bandits, one will receive a package containing an unidentified purple gourd. After taking this package to the capital, I went to meet the merchant's wife. The merchant's wife will not immediately give the purple gourd to the adventurer, but will arrange some small tasks for the adventurer, and will not officially give it to the adventurer until the adventurer completes it.
It was in order to complete this task that the Wasteland Warriors gave up Lin Yueru's line at the beginning, and later arranged for two adventurers to escort Liu Jinyuan back to the capital.
Before Shen Yi and the others came, Shi Kuijie and they had just completed this branch line. The two adventurers ran for the merchant's wife for several days before they could get the Purple Gold Gourd and the Spirit Gourd Spell, as well as the pitiful reward of more than a hundred blood points, no wonder they were complaining.
In fact, this is the characteristic of the plot maze, a large number of side quests can easily occupy the adventurer's time, and even if they are completed, there is not much blood, but the benefits themselves are so eye-catching that they have to dive headlong into it.
Once you are completely lost in the sea of various branch plots, it may end up being an artifact that is wiped out because of insufficient points.
From this point of view, the existence of Decca Kane is the nemesis of the plot maze - no matter what non-identification items you have, I will directly identify them, why do you need to do tasks so troublesomely.
This is like walking into a maze corner, and your choice is not to go back, but to go straight over/over the wall. (Nima, flip/wall you can ban)
After learning about Shi Kuijie and their situation, Shen Yi asked, "What about Caiyi, did she appear?"
"There were. That's what happened on our escort road, and it's a side mission. To be precise, it was we who ensured that Liu Jinyuan was poisoned by the spider spirit's soul entanglement, but he would not be killed by the spider spirit on the spot. ”
In the original plot of Xianjian, scholar Liu Jinyuan accidentally saw a blue butterfly trapped in a spider web, and saved the butterfly with kindness, but he was poisoned by the spider and got the butterfly's wonderful reciprocation. This plot can be said to be the most poignant and moving part of the fairy sword world, and almost everyone will feel sad when they see Die Miaoyi dissipating his thousand-year-old skills in order to save Liu Jinyuan.
Gentleness even shed a day's tears for this.
However, there is a problem with this plot, that is, what qualifications does a scholar have to intervene in the battle between the butterfly spirit and the spider spirit?
The only difference is that after Liu Jinyuan was poisoned, he did not have a seizure immediately, but did not become ill until Lin Yueru arrived. And Die Miaoyi entered the Liu family early, and now she has become Liu Jinyuan's wife.
Although Shi Kuijie and Ye Jiguang knew Caiyi's origin, they also pretended to be confused, silently doing their own side quests, while quietly waiting for the plot to develop.
"Three days ago, the boss informed us that you were coming. Liu Jinyuan suddenly fell today, and we know that you have arrived. From now on, even if the plot of this Shangshufu has officially begun, I don't know what branch tasks the system will give at that time...... Hopefully not to kill Caiyi. Shi Kuijie suddenly sighed and said.
It can be seen that he has a good impression of the butterfly. It's no wonder that men always have a special feeling for infatuated women.
Shen Yi shook his head: "Not necessarily." Don't forget that Caiyi's true face was finally exposed by the Wine Sword Immortal, and the Wine Sword Immortal came because of Li Xiaoyao. Therefore, Lin Yueru's arrival should only cause illness, not the whole task, and it may not trigger the follow-up plot until Li Xiaoyao also comes...... In other words, our eldest son Liu still has to lie in bed for a long time. ”
"Then what do you think?" Shi Kuijie asked.
Shen Yi shrugged: "What else can I think, since I came to the capital, of course I am looking for opportunities to do more branch tasks." ”
"There are too few branching points, and it's a waste of time. Shi Kuijie sighed.
"I won't waste too much time on this, well, half a month should be fine. ”
"Half a month? Do you have so much time to waste? How much do you have now?"
"More than eight thousand. Shen Yi replied casually.
Shi Kuijie was stunned: "So much?"
Since he entered the mission world, he has only received a total of 4,000 rewards, of which 3,000 points have passed Lin Tiannan's test.
And this task is actually a system gift, which is used to give adventurers a chance to save their lives, after all, the four-difficulty adventurers are not easy to come by, and the system is not willing to easily erase them, but there will be no such good tasks in the future.
As for the 5,000 points that the Lunatic Cult hunted down, it was the total number of points that were distributed, and it was distributed by all participants according to their contributions. Shi Kuijie did not participate in the later battle against the Lunatic Cult, and he did not perform much in Lin Jiabao, so he almost did not get points, but Shen Yi received three thousand points.
The reason why he was divided into three-fifths alone was not because of how prominent he was in the battle of the Hidden Dragon Cave, but because he killed a Dharma protector and an angelic jihad member in the battle in Lin Jiabao successively, and rescued Lin Tiannan. Since the battle of the chase was composed of two parts, Lin Jiabao and Hidden Dragon Cave, Shen Yi's performance in Lin Jiabao was outstanding, and he took the lion's head at once, and in the battle of Hidden Dragon Cave, he mistakenly killed Zuo Jianzhen and obtained an important contribution, so the point distribution directly got the lion's share.
Finally, there is the Protect Faerie Island Quest, which is a chain quest that was earned through Megatron and awarded 1,000 points, the highest point reward to date.
In addition, the point rewards, including the protection of Li Xiaoyao, are all pitifully small - there is a little Shen Yi miscalculated, the 27,000 points given by the task of protecting Li Xiaoyao are neither calculated by individual nor by total number, but according to the number of people to make a certain bonus, just like forming a team, it will be adjusted with the change of the number of people, which he only discovered later.
So far, almost all the blood point rewards have been issued in hundreds, which shows how rare the points are in this mission.
In this case, Shen Yi has more than 8,000 points, no wonder Shi Kuijie was surprised.
If it continues at this rate, it is indeed not difficult for Shen Yi to complete 27,000 points through the task within three months, after all, the points of the later tasks will also rise with the improvement of the monster's strength, but everyone is really not sure how much it will rise, and they have no bottom in their hearts, so they don't dare to delay time, and they can only pick tasks with high points rewards as much as possible to do.
At this moment, hearing that Shen Yi had more than 8,000 points in his hand, Shi Kuijie sighed: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the boss of the Broken Blade, so what kind of task are you going to do?" I have taken over several branches in the past few days, and the reward points are all pitiful, because I was busy doing the task of the purple gold gourd, I didn't pay attention to it." If you're interested, I can introduce you to it. ”
"Thank you very much. Shen Yi thought for a while and said, "Are there any tasks related to soldiers?"
"Soldier-related quests ......" Shi Kuijie frowned and thought about it, nodded and said: "There is one, that is, the mission of sending letters, there is no point reward, but it can trigger a follow-up plot, but I don't know if you are interested." ”
Sending a message?
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood which task Shi Kuijie was referring to.
It was the communication mission between the soldiers and the ladies guarding the gate of the Shangshu Mansion.
It's just this task, I don't know what tricks can be elicited?
