Chapter 7: The Reincarnated
After reaching Lv.2, Su Fan put away his sword, and then, he picked up the cold mist device on the ground.
Each cold mist device lasted for fifteen minutes, and it took him about five minutes to kill the first trap beast just now.
Counting the rest time in between, a cold mist device was enough for him to kill two trap beasts.
Before leaving Boulder Town, Su Fan purchased three cold mist devices, enough for him to empty the trap beasts on this corridor.
After the cold mist device was consumed, Su Fan had to consider evacuating, after all, he had no recovery products on him, and even the bread brought by the newcomer was sold by him to the grocery store in exchange for the corresponding copper coins, and then he bought three cold mist devices.
Instead, he drank clean water, and left a few bottles, enough for him to quickly recover his mana.
While drinking clean water, Su Fan came to the place where the relics trap beast was killed, and reached out to touch the light ball that the other party had dropped.
The light cluster dispersed, revealing a pure black steel long sword, which made Su Fan's eyelids jump slightly, and he hurriedly looked at the attribute.
【Black Steel Sword】
Attributes: Attack +4, Strength +1 (effective below 10 Strength).
Quality: Black Iron Grade
Rating: 17 (Black Iron Rating is 10~20 points)
Gear Required: Swordsman (Lv.2)
Synopsis: A steel weapon from the ancient civilization of Candace, in the Second Age, the ancient era when humans were vassalized by the twin races, the weapons of the Candice civilization were engraved with it, which was enough to make other races dare not trespass, because the Candice civilization was the dependents of the ancient dragons.
"Black Iron Weapon?"
Su Fan's eyes lit up, it seemed that his luck was very good, and he actually dropped a black iron weapon.
Of course, there is also a reward bonus for killing trap beasts at level zero, and in the judgment mechanism of the old god world, players can kill high-level monsters, especially special monsters higher than their own level, and the probability of dropping equipment is greatly increased.
In addition, the Relic Trap Beast is a product of the Candice civilization and happens to be good at refining swords.
The combination of various reasons made Su Fan pick up a leak and get the first piece of equipment to drop since he entered the Old God World.
Equipment is divided into qualities, from low to high, which are:
Grey Gear (Grey & White), Black Iron, Bronze, Silver..........
Prior to level 10, the highest quality of equipment was Bronze.
But in fact, even gray equipment is very rare, and the average player can get one or two gray equipment, which is already a good level.
It's like the 'Sprite' that Su Fan met before entering the gladiatorial arena.
Even though the other party is Lv.4, he doesn't have the appearance of black iron equipment on his body, which is not much different from ordinary newcomers.
Su Fan saw the appearance of the equipment from his body, all of them were novice suits, only the clothes part, and it was suspected that it was gray equipment dropped in the wild.
This is the norm for scattered groups.
"Replace your gear!"
After replacing the novice longsword with no attribute to [Black Steel Sword], Su Fan's panel was greatly improved.
After all, in the power system of "Old Gods", players need to upgrade every five levels to gain potential points once.
In other words, the only way for the vast majority of people to improve the panel before level 5 is to replace their equipment.
But the explosion rate of "Old Gods" equipment is very low, and a black iron-level early-stage weapon is enough to make professional guilds red-eyed, and even try to snatch equipment by killing in the wild, not to mention casual players, which can definitely make them envious of the separation of the quality wall.
Su Fan grabbed a sword flower, and while the effect of the cold mist device was still there, he walked towards the next relic trap beast.
After a short break, his mana has been fully regained and he can start a new round of 'Attracting Monsters' action.
Zheng!
It was a familiar sword qi attack again, only this time, Su Fan's ordinary attack hit the trap beast, and the number that popped out of the opponent's head was no longer a single digit, but a bright red two-digit number.
-13,-15,-12........
But this time, Su Fanke didn't release the 'Baybing Sword Style', which gave the trap beast a paralyzing effect and reduced the enemy's defense.
It means that Su Fan's output effect, with the blessing of the [Black Steel Sword], is comparable to the improvement in the paralyzed state, thinking of this, Su Fan's wrist flicked, and he released the 'Piercing Sword Style', hitting the weakness of the trap beast again.
-27,-30,-28........
The paralyzing relict trap beast that was successfully paralyzed and weakened its defense, each sword qi hit its body, causing about 30 points of damage, compared to the previous output strength, the two were not at the same level.
Because the output was nearly doubled, it only took Su Fan two minutes to kill the second trap beast.
As the starlight dispersed, Su Fan's experience value also increased a lot, stopping at about 70% without leveling up.
After all, Su Fan is Lv.2, the experience slot demand is greater, and there is only 3 levels behind the trap beast, and the experience reward is not as exaggerated as the first time.
However, if this scene is seen by other players, it is enough to make them crazy with jealousy.
Under normal circumstances, players will only challenge monsters of the same level, and each level of improvement will increase the difficulty geometrically, and they don't have the tricks used by Su Fan, so they can only be tough head-on.
In a head-to-head battle, a Relic Trap Beast (Lv.5), and it is an elite level, requires at least five or more Lv.3 players to cooperate with each other to have a chance to kill a trap beast.
Of course, they can't alarm other monsters.
If you attract an entire horde of monsters, no amount of people will be enough to fill your life.
I don't know if it's because of the upgrade to Lv.2, which led to a decrease in the explosion rate, or if Su Fan's Ou Qi ran out, this time, the relic trap beast didn't explode the equipment again, and even the monster material didn't explode.
It stands to reason that in the case of skipping the level to kill monsters, even if the equipment is not exploded, a monster material should be dropped.
It's a pity that it's empty.......... However, Su Fan had another gain.
When the starlight emitted by the trap beast successfully integrated into Su Fan's body, in an instant, he became more proficient in mastering the [Spirit Blade].
It's a skill upgrade!
Su Fan's [Spirit Blade] is upgraded to Lv.2, and the skill experience comes from monster killing, to be precise, most of each player's skill upgrades come from them killing monsters, in addition to the reward of experience points, there is also a part of the skill reward.
But skill upgrades are much more difficult than characters.
Su Fan crossed the level and killed two trap beasts before he could raise the [Spirit Blade] to Lv.2, and the difficulty can be seen.
After being upgraded to Lv.2, the mana consumption of [Spirit Blade] was reduced by a little, from 4 to 3 per minute, and in addition, Su Fan's output was increased, and after killing the second trap beast, his mana was still half left, instead of being completely emptied.
Taking advantage of the cold mist device, there were still two or three minutes left, Su Fan did not hesitate and decisively killed the third trap beast.
The third head .......
The Fourth Head ........
The Fifth Head ........
10 minutes later, Su Fan's [Spirit Blade] was upgraded again, and his character was even higher to Lv.3, and at the same time, the experience gauge had accumulated to 84%, which was not far from the threshold of Lv.4.
Just as he was about to light the last cold mist device and solve the last trap beast in the corridor, suddenly, a prompt came from the panel.
[Hint: Player 'Sprite' has sent you a private chat request, yes/no acceptance?] 】
Hey? Su Fan was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds of recollection, he remembered that this guy was the 'good man' who signed a contract with him in front of the gladiatorial arena and lent him 30 copper coins under the witness of the Eye of Judgment........... What's the matter with him looking for himself?
Is it here to collect debts?
No, the contract stated that the deadline was three days, and now the first day has not passed.........
By the way, Sprite and the others bought audience tickets.
Because of the success of his challenge, from another point of view, Sprite and others in the audience lost a profit, hiss, a dozen copper coins are not small money in the early stage of the game, especially when the sixth star area has not yet opened the 'currency exchange'.......... Thinking of this, Su Fan had some guesses in his heart about Sprite's intentions, but he didn't take it to heart and directly clicked 'agree' to the private chat.
Anyway, the social function in "Old Gods" is very perfect, private chat needs to apply, and there is also a blacklist function.
If Su Fan doesn't want to pay attention to the other party, he can also choose to block him.
Debts can be repaid by 'email', and there is no need for the other party's friends, of course, the reason why Su Fan decided to agree to the private chat, the most important point is that Sprite is not from a professional guild, but a standard wild player.
When dealing with each other, you don't have to worry too much.
After the private chat was connected, a fluorescent blue dialog box immediately popped up in front of Su Fan:
Sprite: "Big guy, are you a 'reincarnated one'?" It's too strong, and one person challenges killing the desert lizard............."
Reincarnated ......... Su Fan's heart moved, thinking of the period when the service was opened, the large number of professional guilds supported by the chaebol family, in order to compete for the control of different towns in the principality, had made a move to infiltrate each other, which was the so-called 'reincarnation' plan.
It's been a week since the Sixth Star Zone opened "Old Gods".
During this time, the Guild has cultivated a number of elite players who are more proficient in combat skills than newcomers, and are even eligible to challenge quests, but they choose to delete characters and create new characters in another region, an act known as 'Reincarnation'.
"Old Gods" only allows players to have one character, and if they want to create a new character, they can only delete the original character.
These reincarnated people delete characters and create new ones elsewhere, but they are not idle and boring, and they have masochistic tendencies.
Instead, there is a professional guild behind them, which supports them, and the reincarnated are also burdened with the important task of 'collecting intelligence' and 'exploring dungeons', and this information is aggregated to the professional guild behind them, which will determine the actions of the entire guild.
To give a simple example, Su Fan knew that the [Mowu] Guild had great ambitions.
Although they are third-rate guilds and can only dominate one side within the scope of Giant Rock Town, the [Mowu] Guild has also installed a lot of reincarnated people in the capital of the Black Flame Principality, and the main city of Black Flame has also installed a lot of reincarnators, and by the same token, there will only be more reincarnated people planted by other guilds in Giant Rock Town than above.
After all, according to the 'Book of Order' for the chaebol family, it also affects the professional guilds they support, there are not a hundred more powerful forces than the [Mowu] guild, and there are dozens of guilds, and it is not strange that the reincarnation they arranged appeared in Juyan Town.
Exactly, it can be used as an excuse for my identity........... Su Fan thought of this and replied directly to the other party.
[Viewer]: "Yes, I'm a reincarnated being, what's wrong with that?" ”
Sprite: "No, no! The big guy is really a reincarnated person, I guessed right, otherwise anyone at level zero would be able to challenge the desert lizard beast........... Wait, wait a minute, it, big guy, how did you get to Lv.3?! ”
During the private chat before, Sprite didn't pay attention to the situation, and it wasn't until he reacted that he noticed that under Su Fan's character avatar, the level was actually displayed as 'Lv.3'!
Sky!
It seems that not long ago, the other party was level zero, right?
In just a few hours, that [Viewer] had risen from Level 0 to Lv.3, and this rocket-like speed really stunned Sprite.
He can guarantee that if this information is leaked, not to mention casual players, even the two major guilds currently famous in Giant Rock Town, the Azure Heart Guild and the Mowu Guild, are guaranteed to drop their jaws and even shatter their game views.
At this stage, no guild has such a quick upgrade secret in its hands.
If the [Viewer] reveals his secret, there is no doubt that it will definitely affect the entire Giant Rock Town, no, it should be said that the overall situation of the entire Black Flame Principality will greatly shorten the novice period, and the influence on the bottom players is simply self-evident........... Sprite thought so, of course, this thought just flashed in his mind.
Such important information, let him empathize, and it is impossible to leak it easily.
Moreover, there is a high probability that this upgrade secret comes from behind him, the mysterious guild........... Thinking of this, Sprite became more and more sure of her guess.
Sure enough, that viewer was a reincarnated being!
[Sprite]: "Boss, I just want to ask about the challenge skills of the desert lizardfish, of course, I won't ask for it for free, I will pay the corresponding reward, this is very important for our Thorn Studio." ”
"There are a few brothers whose skill level is too low, and they also need Shawei status."
Sprite is very polite and puts her posture very low, whether it is the status of the 'reincarnated person' or the fighting skills displayed by the opponent, it is worth him to lower his body and contact the other party with a friendly attitude.
As for the benefits of the gladiatorial fight that was pitted........... Sprite didn't take it to heart, compared to the friendship of a big guy, the former is not worth mentioning.
"Blue Thorn Studio.........
Su Fan raised his eyebrows, he didn't have any impression of it, it seemed that the Blue Thorn Studio in his previous life was not famous.
This is normal, the number of players in Boulder Town is close to six figures, and in such a huge group, it is impossible to casually meet a few, even the strong people who were famous in the previous life, not to mention, many strong people also come from opportunities.
In his previous life, like Su Fan, people who climbed from the bottom to the realm of the Sage were rare after all.
Anyway, the Twilight Gladiatorial Arena will be closed tomorrow, so there is no need to worry about the news spreading, and even if I tell them the trick, the people at Bluethorn Studio may not be able to complete the challenge........... Su Fan thought for a few seconds, and then had an answer in his heart.
[Viewer]: "Yes, the reward will be the 30 copper coins you lent me as an offset.......... That's not too much, right? ”
Sprite: "Of course! Are you sure, big guy, as long as this little bit of payment? ”
In Sprite's opinion, the secret of challenging the desert lizard beast is far from being comparable to 30 copper coins, and the two are not worth the same level.
However, Sprite didn't know that in the early hours of tomorrow morning, the Dusk Gladiatorial Arena would be closed, and the entire Giant Rock Town would cancel the 'Shawei Trial', and the information he got was only valid for half a day........... Not even a full day.
"However, I have one more commission." Su Fan paused for a moment and quickly typed the text: "If you can agree, I can also attach a secret message that there is an oasis on the [Dragon Bone Wilderness] where a tribe of fire trolls is hidden.......... The Flame Troll, a mutant of the Troll's life, can drop the Codex and the Swordsman's skill scrolls. ”
"My request is very simple, if you drop the skill scroll of the swordsman, you have to give it to me first."
Su Fan remembered one thing, that is, he had a lot of secrets in his hands.
However, some of the secrets were not particularly valuable enough for him to explore.
These low-level secrets, which are tasteless and discarded, are great benefits for ordinary players.
If he can fool some 'thugs' and take the place of himself, he will dig up these secrets.
Then, you will take a 'commission' from it.......... can maximize the benefits.
Well, this operation is very capitalist.
Su Fan decided to put it into action.
