Chapter 4 Dungeon Preparation Stage: Heavenly Punishment, Talent
The moment the arena opens, a squad will be pulled into matchmaking.
Those who do not have a team will be forced to enter the dungeon for individual battles.
The matchmaking mechanic is simple.
It's to arrange people with similar overall ranks to fight in a dungeon.,As for whether there is an elo mechanism,No one can say at this time.γ
In a dungeon, there may be two squads, or three, or more.
Specifically, the number of squads is determined based on factors such as the environment, size, and difficulty of the dungeon.
Among them, 1-3 people are best matched, and it is difficult to fail to match the opponent.
For those multi-person teams, once they can't match their opponents, or if they encounter a matchmaking time that takes too long, they will be forced by the system to split the team members to rematch, and it will not end until they are successfully matched with the team.
There will be no Awakened who can exploit the system's vulnerabilities.
At the moment when the matching channel was just opened, Chang He entered a state of "standby" on time.
All the people around me have disappeared.
In an unknown space, all he could see was the three big golden characters in front of him, and the constantly flashing quotation marks behind them:
γMatching......
There seems to be no concept of time here.
Chang He didn't know how long it had been, but with the crisp "ding" sound in his mind, the three words in front of him finally changed.
γMatch Successful!γ γ
[This dungeon is a 3v3 racing mode.] γ
[Quest scene loading...... 1%β¦β¦ 55%β¦β¦ 99%β¦β¦γ
[The quest has been loaded successfully!] γ
[Quest Hint: A strange incident happened in the small town of Huttonmar recently.] The elves responsible for picking food and medicine in the forest and delivering them to the town have not appeared for several days, and since then some of the merchants have behaved more and more strangely. According to local villagers, they saw goblins on the edge of the town. There is a beautiful and intelligent girl in the town, and it is rumored that she is an elf reincarnation, and perhaps the truth of the matter can be learned from her. It's just that the villagers no longer trust outsiders in order to protect her......]
β¦β¦
This is the end of the system's prompts, and the body has regained control.
Chang He, who has regained control of his body, still looks calm, his eyes are straight ahead.
The three figures stood in place like reflections on the water, and they couldn't see each other clearly.
"It seems that our opponent this time has only one squad." The voice of the red bean came from behind.
"Why can't you see them clearly?" Cang Mulang wanted to run forward to take a closer look, but he hit his head on a barrier that suddenly appeared, and fell to the ground with a scream.
"Pain, pain, pain, ......"
"Stupid, this is the preparation stage of the dungeon, don't move around, okay?" Hongdou said helplessly.
"Hey! Who knew there would be something ahead! Cang Mulang covered his forehead and complained.
"Be quiet."
Chang He looked at the empty surroundings and said slowly, "The next step is to choose the stage of heavenly punishment and talent, right?" β
"Yes."
Hongdou said very seriously: "Generally speaking, after the task prompt, the team will discuss in advance according to the information prompted by the system. β
"Well, do you have any suggestions?" Chang He asked.
"Ah, this ......" Agumiro turned his head to look at the red bean, "Come on." β
It was clear that he didn't know what to say.
"Goblins I knew a little bit about when I was in the Legion." Hongdou disdainfully squeezed two words out of his mouth, "Very weak." β
Since it's such a low-level dungeon, it's easy to deal with both in terms of monster strength and mission difficulty.
Chang River is very clear about this.
He didn't expect them to give any good advice, just a formality.
Because, you can't just show that you're familiar with this copy from the beginning, right?
Huttonmar, Goblin...... And the girl who coexists with beauty and wisdom.
No matter how you look at it, it's an online game he played in his previous life.
When Changhe was still in the ninja school, he had already been exposed to some of the dungeon experiences shared by his predecessors.
It certainly wasn't too touching at the time.
But after crossing over, he realized:
Many of the copies that were difficult for everyone to take out later were games, novels, movies, anime, and other works that he had seen in his previous life!
This one is no exception.
Now it's racing mode again, and if nothing else, they're almost sure to win.
[Now is the time to choose the Heavenly Penalty, and the number of times you can choose is 1.] γ
[Please choose a heavenly penalty for your opponent.] γ
γ59γ58γ57β¦β¦γ
The sudden sound of the system prompt attracted the attention of the three of them to the position directly opposite and upward.
There was a phrase and three glittering signs.
[Optional Heavenly Punishment This Time]:
Control System: Illusion Interference [D Class] (Owner: Uzumaki Changhe)
Combat Department: Earth Escape Delay [D Rank] (Owner: Cang Mu Lang)
Support: Blade Missing [C Rank] (Owner: Mitarai Red Bean)
All heavenly punishments are calamities set for the opponent, and this is the rule set by the system.
Chang He can understand what the purpose of this behavior of the system is.
This is based on the cooperation of the team members, and the prompt information of the dungeon is analyzed to select the heavenly punishment. Thus creating some obstacles for the opponent and a means for their squad to profit from it.
Taking advantage of this in the preparation phase will minimize the power gap between the two sides, making quests a little more fun.
Heavenly Punishment is a function that everyone comes with when they awaken the system, and as you increase your rank, you will get a more advanced Heavenly Punishment.
Chang He chose the red bean's cutting tool missing.
Before entering the arena, they shared with each other the heavenly punishment they had.
The illusion interference you have is a certain obstacle for the opponent to release the illusion.
But for a strong illusionist, this would hardly make a difference.
And Cang Mu Lang's Earth Escape Delay is the effect of making all Earth Escape Ninjutsu have a certain delay in the casting process.
An ability to try your luck.
If the opponent doesn't have a ninja with an earth attribute, then the heavenly punishment that can only be selected once in the dungeon is equivalent to being wasted.
So in comparison, the lack of cutting tools for red beans is still more useful.
This doesn't make all of your opponent's blades disappear out of thin air, but at least some of them can be missing randomly.
If it's the opponent's primary weapon that's missing, that's even better.
[Heavenly Penalty Selection Completed.] γ
Not long after Chang He chose Heavenly Punishment, a new system prompt came out.
And in front of them, it shows the heavenly punishment imposed on them by their opponents.
[Fire Escape Consumption (Small)]: When releasing Fire Escape Ninjutsu, an additional small amount of chakra will be consumed.
"These damn guys, they're clearly targeting us Konoha." Red Bean said indignantly.
She is a fire-type ninja herself.
"At least prove that they are not Konoha people." Although Chang He also possessed the fire attribute, he didn't care at all.
This kind of simple racing dungeon is all about avoiding battles, so the consumption of chakra will not be very large.
Of course, it is not excluded that the other side wants to force the fight with their own squad.
It's not impossible.
Now in the ranking of the legions in the ninja world, Konoha is a thorn in the side of other great powers, and it is inevitable that he will be "taken care of".
Therefore, in the dungeon, if someone finds out that the opponent is Konoha people, many times they will kill them by any means to weaken the strength of the Konoha Legion.
This is also why the other party will choose the heavenly penalty of [Fire Escape Consumption].
"It must have been the Iwakure gang who did it."
Cang Mulang clenched his fists, "I said at the time that I was punished by heaven, but you didn't listen." β
Chang He and Hongdou didn't bother to take care of him.
Soon, the system prompt appeared again.
[Now is the time to choose a talent.] γ
Please select your talent. γ
Chang He looked at the two initial talents that the system had prepared for himself:
[Small Treatment]: Restore a small amount of qi and blood. (The current number of times a quest can be used is: 3)
[Small Awakening]: Restore a small amount of chakra. (The current number of times a quest can be used is: 1)
Talents function similarly to Heavenly Punishment, and are a means of maximizing the benefits of the team during the preparation phase.
It's just that the heavenly punishment is for the opponent as a whole, and the talent is for the individual.
And there is also a difference between the functional effect of Heavenly Punishment and talent.
There are three types of Heavenly Punishment, which are combat, support, and control.
Each Awakened Awakened will receive a random category when they first awaken the system, and it cannot be changed.
For example, the Heavenly Punishment category of Changhe Awakening is the Control System, and the Heavenly Punishment obtained with the increase of the rank in the future can also be the Control System.
And the talent is different.
It has no categories, and everyone has the same talents.
Talents unlock more as the Awoken Rank increases, allowing for more flexibility in the preparation of future quests.
Chang He chose the second one without thinking, a small awakening technique.
Although it has only been used once, the chakra is the most important thing for me at the moment.
Since he came out of that laboratory, he has never experienced the feeling of being full of body, which has a lot to do with the lack of chakra in his body.
"And then? What are we going to do? Aokiro asked.
It seems that you have chosen a good talent.
"Just wait."
Red Bean looked at Changhe's side face, a little puzzled.
This is now her second copy of the Arena, and while she isn't nervous, it's still full of novelty.
This guy in front of you......
Why are you so calm?
It's like the two of them who knew him before.
[Ready, start coming......]
As the system chimes, the surrounding darkness gradually recedes.
A huge swirling black hole suddenly appeared in the originally oppressive space, sucking everyone into it.
Chang He could feel his body falling, but he didn't feel any discomfort.
In this way, three rainbow beams of light fell from the sky and landed on a bustling town.
