Chapter 118: Shop Carefully
What does that simple dialectical argument come about? There are two sides to everything...... Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good.
All right! The first trait of this bloodline is clearly that there are pros and cons. The upside is that the probability of Duploach increases slightly when "exploring the map", and there is a change in attractiveness to unidentified items - the higher the potential value, the stronger the attraction, which can be used to determine the basic value of unidentified items.
Zhou Daoan immediately experimented with it: he took out the unidentified scalpel and put it together with the bait cap, and after a little feeling, he found that the former was more attractive to him! Later, he changed the comparison object to the Pirate King Gold Coins, and the former was not as attractive as the latter.
This shows that this unidentified scalpel should be of greater grade than IN and less than R, and it is likely to be an N-level inheritance item!
However, the disadvantages of this special effect are also obvious - people die for money! The four words of recklessness made Zhou Dao's peace of mind, who has always been law-abiding, jump. Is it true that desire is one of the original factors that disrupt the order? From this point of view, the Lord of Greed is worthy of the name of the son of chaos.
Fortunately, there is a note behind the special effects that "can be suppressed to a certain extent", indicating that there is still room for it.
"Trait 2: Insatiable. When purchasing or receiving a reward for a skill or equipment (non-consumable), another skill or equipment that is most beneficial to the bonus of that skill or item (no more than a small level of the target) will be obtained, and only the weakest harvest will take effect during the same harvest. However, since the additional skills or items obtained are 'obtained through unconventional channels', they will be multiplied in the process of subsequent upgrades and enhancements. Special Note: This effect can be suppressed. ”
Again, this is a double-edged effect. The advantage is that in the early stage of growth, when primitive accumulation is particularly needed, this special effect can enrich the harvest and strengthen itself by "buy one get one free". The downside is that this claim is akin to an "overdraft" that will have to be doubled later. In addition, this effect can no longer be suppressed to a certain extent, but can be completely suppressed. That is to say, when Zhou Daoan does not need this feature in the future, he can choose to "turn off".
In this way, the pedigree with these two special effects still has more advantages than disadvantages! In the next step, Zhou Daoan can use it when he spends his credit and hard work.
In addition to this, there is another special note about the pedigree:
"As one of the Nine Sons of Chaos, the Lord of Greed has a unique sensitivity to the breath of the other Children of Chaos. It has been detected that the R-rank Legacy item held by Codename Ponder contains a faint aura of the 'Raging Lord', so it is affected by this bloodline, and when using this Legacy item, there will be a certain amount of effect bonus! ”
No wonder, no wonder! The last time Zhou Daoan used the Pirate King Gold Coin in the mission, he was so close to Kelly that he was potentially affected by the aura of the Children of Chaos, so that his sanity could not suppress the crazy effect of the gold curse during the use. Similarly, after the effect is over, the period of weakness that should have occurred is gone...... The effect of this complementarity is really mysterious and complex!
Following this line of thought, Zhou Daoan couldn't help but start to suspect again - the reason why this urgent mission chose him was not only that the system needed a task to verify his strength, but also that he might have this inheritance item on his body......
As for why the pirate king Salboni is associated with the "Lord of Berserk", it is another story that is temporarily unknown......
Stopping speculation about these things, Zhou Daoan returned to the topic.
At this time, Zhou Daoan, who was holding the "buy one get one free coupon", could not consume immediately, because he had two mission experiences, and he knew that on the ark, consumption was very sequential. Only by consuming the items in order according to the importance of the required items can we avoid the omission of key points, such as-
"I want to buy intelligence ...... for the next mission"
Although the information on the last urgent mission was obtained two hours in advance, which is a bit tricky, it is better to have a little preparation time than to rush into battle. What's more, Zhou Daoan, who has just reaped the sweetness, knows very well the urine nature of the system.
Really......
"As a result of this urgent mission, Codename Ponder has been certified as a rating booster. The next round of quests will be Death Quests, and the Ponderer will not get any chance of the quest until the Death Quest is completed, and 200 Hardship Points will be required to purchase the quest information. ”
I know it in XX!
Even if he was prepared, Zhou Dao'an couldn't help but jump in his heart!
During the last mission, Fang Ark thought that because he had obtained "items beyond his own strength", his actual ability would surpass his current rating (IN), so he was given an urgent mission to be evaluated.
In fact, this time the urgent mission is actually much more difficult than the "prison break". No matter the time, the mystery behind the task, or the setting of the opponent, it is not something that an IN-level rookie can handle.
But Zhou Daoan still passed, although the evaluation was only "ordinary", but he finally completed the task, was not punished by the system, and still "gained a lot". Obviously, the system will not be "soft" in this situation. Regardless of the number of times you have received a mission, directly increase your rating and send a death test.
In this respect, Fred's previous "advice" really makes sense - the better the performance, the more gains, the faster the Ark's rating will increase, and the more frequent the death missions will be. And just by hearing the word "death", you know that this task is not easy.
But when it comes to this, you can't refuse. It is impossible for Zhou Daoan to throw away the benefits he has received and degrade himself - this kind of negative behavior will the ark let it go? Most of the people who underestimate the "intelligence" of the ark are not very intelligent.
"Confirm purchase!" Although his heart was dripping blood, Zhou Daoan still chose to spend this huge amount of money without hesitation (the bait hat was only worth two hundred and twenty hard work).
“…… Intelligence acquisition was successful. N-Class Death Mission - In the 15th century, you are in a corner of the Lost World, an ancient tribe in the rainforest that hides a great crisis. Quest completion conditions: Survive for 3 days in cooperation. Tip: This quest has restrictions based on the world context. Basic Rewards: Officially upgrade to N, get the opportunity to upgrade, and unlock the corresponding permissions; Hard labor is worth a thousand points; Randomly obtain a piece of N-level equipment or skill; One active mission scroll. Survival without the specified time limit is considered a mission failure, and the consequence: obliteration. ”
"The death mission will come in 6 to 8 months."
The base rewards are quite generous, especially with the new item "Quest Card". But Zhou Daoan is not interested in understanding it for the time being, because the so-called greater the harvest, the greater the difficulty, and the wealth is in danger...... With such a generous reward, the difficulty of the task must correspond to an increase. The word "erasure" of the consequences of defeat came to Zhou Daoan's mind heavily.
Fortunately, there are still 6 to 8 months left for this death mission, and I don't know if it is because there will be no other tasks in the middle, so the interval is longer, which gives Zhou Daoan a certain buffer time. In other words, these months are not for him to relax and enjoy, but to try his best to improve his strength in order to get by.
Right now, the fastest way to improve your strength is to spend money in the Ark Mall.
"My own ability now is mainly reflected in my mind...... "Zhou Daoan began to objectively analyze his own situation, neither need to be modest nor overestimated, "but physical fitness and armed strength still need to be improved." The Pirate King's gold, although strengthened by the bloodline of the Lord of Greed, still has the problem of a long cooldown (1 day), and can only be used as an explosive measure. In addition, my attacks can only rely on conventional means, and it is difficult to solve an Aaron, which is too much to see......
"As for the scalpel, although it is suspected to be an inheritance item, before it is identified, its properties are not known...... Well, it's still required to be steady, choose skills first! ”
"However, there are not only few offensive skills, but they are also the most expensive in the mall platform. Even if I have one hundred and fifty merit points, it is probably only enough to buy an N-level attack skill, and the balance can only be tinkered......" Zhou Daoan thought as he searched the consignment menu of the mall.
At that time, on the trading platform of the Ark, 90% of the skills were products sold by other ferrymen. The skills that the ark itself has are also some IN-level "garbage skills", such as using your hands to make a fire, blowing air volume to increase, and Sichuan cuisine to become quick (this is indeed a skill, which belongs to the survival direction). But as long as there are N-level skills, no one will sell them to the platform, and they must choose to consign and maximize benefits.
According to the experience of playing games in the past, Zhou Daoan made a classification of the skills on the platform. The most attractive thing is naturally the offensive skill, or output skill. The quantity is small, and the price is high. For example, an N-level skill "Inch Fist": an impact of about twice the peak of the user's strength erupts in a short distance (within 30 cm), which is a close fight, and the applicability is actually not wide.
There is an N-level skill of "Flame Knife", which allows users to attach fire effects to bladed weapons, which also belongs to the main category of attack skills, and the small category is considered "enhanced attacks, with special effects", which is quite versatile. But the price has come to eighty-eight points of merit value, and it is not worth selling hard work - you know, in the category of items, a revolver that "draws a gun and must hit" is only seventy-two points of merit value; Completing a side quest only gives you twenty or thirty credit points. Therefore, even if this skill is very versatile, no one cares about it on the platform, and it is basically in the state of "886".
As for R-level damage skills, you don't need to look at the price (after raising the evaluation to N, Zhou Daoan can already see the R-level items and skills in the mall). For example, there is a course called "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descent", but Zhou Daoan suspects that it was independently developed and named by a ferryman from the earth, and it was a domineering gimmick, the effect is to condense the palm wind, strengthen the fist and foot attacks, and can be upgraded, and the price is 233 merit points.
I'm straight to you 233!
