Chapter 43: Leaving the City
The improvements that came with the upgrade came to an end.
Level 5 is already too far ahead of other players, and it will be worth the loss if you increase the level, and the rewards and penalties brought by the disparity between the level of monsters and monsters, as well as the difficulty of obtaining certain specialties, will increase.
And level 6 and level 5 are a watershed, and rising to level 6 means stepping into the second level, not to mention that the challenge difficulty of the battle tower alone will skyrocket.
At present, the most important thing is to tap the potential, enhance the foundation, and obtain more additional attribute points and expertise through means other than upgrading, so as to lay a solid foundation for breaking through bottlenecks in the future.
Lin Xi closed the attribute panel, and with a thought, the armor and mask composed of the predator instantly softened and twisted, turning into fine black lines and retracting into his body.
Without the cover of the armor, the scene below was suddenly unobstructed.
The Shadow Robe has been torn many times, and it can't hide its fair skin.
Lin Xi simply took it off and took out an explorer's suit from the "Blessing of Sippis" and replaced it.
As the first reward for a level 2 sorcerer, the Shadow Robe was only +1 enchanted equipment, and it had no necessary repair value, so it was casually thrown into Pandora's singularity space by Lin Xi.
Then Lin Xi wiped his face lightly, the black spot under the left eye disappeared, and his face became softer, although his facial features did not change much, but the overall temperament looked completely different from the original.
As one of the sorcerer's magical invocations, "Face of a Thousand Faces" can not only perform disguise spells that do not consume spell slots at will, but its effect is far superior to that of ordinary disguises. It is difficult to spot if the opponent does not deliberately use detection magic or disarm magic.
Ready for everything, Lin Xi walked out of the store.
The surrounding scene has not changed much from before the jump, and the walls along the road are still plastered with parchment notices of survivors.
There were more than a dozen corpses lying crookedly on the ground not far away, and Lin Xi stepped forward to take a look, and there was no Yan Xi among them.
However, I saw Cheng Xu, the captain of this team, who had communicated with Lin Xi three days ago, and now he has become a corpse that is about to decompose.
Lin Xi only glanced at it a few times before turning around and leaving, heading in the direction of leaving the city.
It is expected that Yan Xi did not die, there are too many abnormalities in her body, and the changes before and after make Lin Xi feel like a white cut black, it is difficult to say what is hidden under the skin.
Cheng Xu's death was a bit unexpected, although there were many monsters surrounding them at that time, but except for the orcs and the lizardmen, other monsters were not to be feared, with Cheng Xu and the others as the leader, the strength of one piece of equipment per person on them, not to mention killing all the monsters, it was more than enough for self-protection.
Yan Ji ...... There is no impression at all in the previous life. ”
"But since we are in the same city and in the same direction, sooner or later we will meet again." Lin Xi muttered to himself.
"Encountered? Who did you meet, and who is Yan Cheng? Pandora's voice suddenly rang out.
"A player, met when you were asleep, when you see her again, you have to observe it carefully, I always feel that her temperament and behavior are a little familiar."
While talking with Pandora, Lin Xi had already come to the cross-river bridge, looking down, the river was sparkling, the breeze was blowing, and there were ripples.
It would have been so beautiful – if it weren't for the corpses that littered the bridge and the walking corpses that roamed around.
Before the launch of Earth Online, the largest series of car accidents ever occurred around the world when that mechanical voice sounded.
Soon after, transportation and communications collapsed, and with the arrival of the first wave of monsters, the people trapped on the bridge had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, and all died tragically in the mouths of the walking corpses and kobolds.
After losing their target, these monsters wander aimlessly across the bridge.
Lin Xi used the "Stealth Technique" to hide his body, easily bypassed these monsters, and came to the other end of the cross-river bridge, and when he looked back, an idea suddenly sprouted in his heart.
After realizing that they could not get out of the city, the first few teams and forces that came here in the previous life teamed up to occupy the town of Erqiao, and collected potions or silver coins from all the later teams and solo players, which was called a reward for helping to clean up the monsters in this area, but in fact it was a forcible protection fee.
However, these teams were the first to arrive here, naturally they had their advantages, and because several teams shared the same hatred and advanced and retreated together, the other players dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they had to obediently offer money.
It wasn't until Lin Xi arrived later and secretly became the boss of two of the teams that they panicked and restrained their arrogance a little.
Coupled with the activation of the public forum at that time, someone announced the method of getting out of the city, and the alliance existed in name only, and it was self-defeating.
Now that I think about it, this is a good way to make money.
If you want to get out of the city from this direction of Lizhou City, you can only use the cross-river bridge as an option, which means that as long as you occupy the town of Erqiao in front of you, you can get a lot of food potions and gold and silver coins.
"The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon, Lin Xi." Pandora teased.
"I'm not a righteous dragon slayer in the first place." The corners of Lin Xi's mouth hooked slightly, and he already had a preliminary plan in his heart.
The so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, and collecting protection fees is not a simple matter.
If you want to occupy Erqiao Town and make all the teams that pass by pay obediently, it is not enough for Lin Xi to rely on herself.
The only way to do this is to unite with the other factions, but whether to use the NPCs of Camp Shine or other teams of players is a question.
The advantage of NPCs is that they are stronger than the player, and the faction is more orderly, so it doesn't cause too much chaos.
But the disadvantage is also here, collecting protection money is not a glorious act, even if there is the name of "Starwalker", it is not easy to get those NPCs to join, if the Shengyao camp is biased towards the good camp, Lin Xi will not even consider it.
Secondly, the strength of NPCs is too strong, and if it attracts the attention of high-level NPCs, it will not only be beneficial to other players, but also to Lin Xi himself.
With this in mind, it seems that it is safer to unite with other players.
But this is all for later, and everything will have to wait until we get to the Shengyao camp to observe the situation.
Lin Xi left it behind and continued to walk forward for a few hundred meters, and a layer of energy shield appeared in front of him.
This is the reason why players can't leave the city in the early stages.
Only those who have not logged in and players who have reached level 3 will be able to pass through this energy shield that surrounds the entire city of Yeoju.
“…… You have stepped out of the maze and left the "Secret Realm of Lizhou City". ”
“…… You've discovered a new map with +100 XP. ”
It's a strange feeling to go through the energy shield — a maze lock to be precise.
Just like walking in a liquid, and like viscous and tangible air, every step will stir up the energy in the air, forming a ripple of energy like a substance, Lin Xi can feel the energy flowing around his body in complex laws, until he walks out of the thirty-meter-thick lock, the environment returns to normal.
