Xiao Weiming, the first to complete the feat of the Black Iron Trial, finally re-landed four hours after being disconnected, it was already broad daylight, breakfast had been eaten, and the young players did not stay in Batasin City for long.

They had caught up with the carriage and escorted important prisoners and a group of down-and-out "Blood Vulture Loyalty" to the Crimson City as fast as they could.

When he opened his eyes, he saw three of his companions napping in the rickety carriage.

This is what the players look like after they go offline, although Maxim does not give special preferential treatment to female players, but the other young players take the initiative to give up a carriage for the four of them.

"Ahh It's different! ”

The female swordmaster stretched her body in the carriage, and after pulling the hook with Lord Murphy last night, it showed that the Black Iron Trial was completed, and then she entered the state of forced offline, and the game helmet prompted "Tester entity projection reconstruction", which probably means the update of character information?

She looked down at the character interface displayed on the arithmetic orb, which was indeed very different from before:

[Tester ID: Reed's female swordmaster.]

Character class: Level 10 Gunslinger/None/None

Character Status: Professional→ Black Iron Body

Character attributes:

Strength: 4→6

Dexterity: 8→12

Endurance: 6→7

Pain Suppression: Reduces all melee damage taken.

Calm Hunter: After entering the combat state, the mental interference from the outside world is reduced, and the duration of the mental negative status is reduced.

Melee Ranger: Uses a handcuff-type firearm to weaken hit penalty when fighting at close quarters.

A brief description of the strength stages of the Black Iron Body:

Congratulations, testers!

You have finally stepped out of the mortal realm and stepped into the transcendent realm, and your potential has been unlocked and will be unleashed in the subsequent trials and battles.

But you must know that the Black Iron Body is a rather special stage of strength.

During this phase, you must carefully choose and determine the strength path you will take in the future, and specialize in training according to class and skill characteristics in order to develop the fighting style that best suits you.

The development team's advice to the Black Iron Body testers was:

At this stage, you can appropriately slow down the speed of leveling up and focus more energy on polishing your combat skills. Please think more about what kind of person you want to be in this other world, and in what way should you leave your own legend?

Of course, the above is just a suggestion!

In this completely free world, you can live your second life freely according to your own ideas! Congratulations, your future is unconstrained. 】

"Wow, that's formal! This makes people like you more and more, but what can I do? Why don't you beg your dad to spend some money to buy your company? ”

Xiao Weiming looked at her new character attributes and the message of the development team in the carriage, and suddenly smiled, a full 12 attribute improvements plus 6 free attributes can be assigned, making her feel that she can now kill a cow with one punch!

This is not an illusion.

But before Xiao Wei Ming was upgraded, and he just got the [server first!] ] got rid of the joy and great sense of accomplishment in the glorious achievement, and saw the new task that quietly existed in his taskbar.

Two new missions from Master Murphy himself!

【Hidden Quest · Murphy's Warriors' has triggered!

Mission Description: Murphy is a rather fastidious vampire who is a perfectionist soul who seeks perfection beneath his façade of kindness.

He loves and trusts his Otherworldly Warriors, yet he has been secretly observing them, allowing himself to only choose the most potential and unique of the Otherworldly Spirits to become his own Warriors.

And now!

You!

You should feel honored by the tough souls from the other world, because Murphy has initially recognized you and awarded you the title of 'Reserve Warrior', but you still have a long way to go before you can truly become Murphy's Warrior.

Objective: Maximize your image and importance in Murphy's eyes, and wait for the next mission to trigger.

Reward: Special title "Murphy's Warrior".

Prompt!

There are only twelve of them in the Real Otherworld, and you already have one of them. 】

"Oh yes!"

Xiao Wei Ming jumped up happily in the carriage, waved his hands and shouted madly:

"Master Murphy! I declare you! Someone finally discovered my powerful talent and put it to good use, even though an NPC discovered my uniqueness, but that's nothing. I knew that this game was my destiny game.

Ah, Mom and Dad, I've found a game of truth worth my life. ”

"What's the matter?"

Just as she was shouting and staging performance art to her heart's content, Orchid Hua, who was napping in the carriage, suddenly opened her eyes, she reached out and pressed Xiao Weiming's head, reached out and pinched her fat face, and scolded loudly:

"You weren't allowed to do that last night! Do you hear that? Seeing you suddenly disconnect scared me to death, so I had to call your home from Antarctica and ask your parents if you were okay, do you know how expensive a satellite phone call is?

Collect money by the second, little bastard, I'm not a real rich third generation like you

But I heard your mother say that you cried all night last night, and you can't coax it no matter how you coax it, what's going on?

Intimidated? ”

"Hey, no."

Xiao Wei Ming is very attached to orchid flowers.

After all, it's always a good thing to have a good friend who has traveled the world visit her once in a while, and tell her about the outside world and other people's adventures.

She would let Orchid Flower hug her petite body, and whispered to her friend:

"It's just that you can think of a sudden light in your dark life one day, when you have been judged to live on an intubation and a ventilator for the rest of your life, and suddenly there is an opportunity for you to live freely

I'm not scared.

I'm so happy.

My mom and dad couldn't understand what I was doing, but they didn't have to worry about me at all. ”

"You're embarrassed to say it!"

Orchid's eyes widened, and she scolded:

"Who left a suicide note two years ago? You almost scared everyone out that time. ”

"Oh, I was not sensible at that time, and this is how a disabled girl who has read too much youth and sad literature is like this."

Reed's hippie smile rubs against Orchid's chest, then shows her off her new panel and hidden quests, and of course a second quest given by Murphy.

However, this is not a hidden mission, but more like a "bonus mission".

【Quest·' Praise for Crazy Skills' has been triggered!

Mission Description: After witnessing your masterful performance of the Trial of the Black Iron, Master Murphy was shocked, but he decided to give you a clue to find the hunting art that was truly your own, after believing that it would be difficult for a gunslinger without his own unique firearm of his own.

I've heard that the Scarlet Archon Lady Miriam has recently received a great 'gift', maybe you could pay a visit?

Objectives: Visit Baroness Morland and be allowed to view her 'Hammer Guard'.

Reward: Special weapon crafting map. 】

"Special weapons, alas, sound very hanging! Didn't the previous Black Iron Trial quest say that there would be additional rewards if you completed the Elite Challenge? I think this must be it! This is the reward mission that the development team gives to all testers who pass the Trials Single-handedly!

After all, a warrior without a good weapon is not worthy of the name of a warrior! ”

Xiao Weiming's mission could not be shared, but it did not prevent her from discussing the details of the mission with Orchid Flower, and the Great Traveler lived up to expectations and quickly pointed out the "dark pits" in this mission.

"Since it was a gift from a friend from Lady Miriam, it is certainly not something that any one person is allowed to see."

Orchid shook her head and poured a scoop of cold water on the excited little reed, and said:

"This means that if you want to complete this quest, you will have to brush up on Lady Miriam's personal reputation above friendliness, and although the opinion system has not been officially confirmed, players are convinced that this mechanic exists in this game.

And your own experience seems to have solved a long-standing puzzle on the forum.

That is, the favorability of other NPCs can be brushed up with special means, but Lord Murphy's favorability system has been confusing.

Now it seems that the main NPCs are really different! If you want to gain his favor, you have to show your uniqueness and courage in front of him, and this damn favorability system actually has a quota.

There are only twelve Warrior slots. Tsk, what a picky and handsome man! ”

The Great Traveler narrowed her eyes, apparently having a little other thought in her mind, and after a few seconds, she whispered to Little Reed:

"This information is to be kept secret, you know? Master Murphy is obviously a sensitive person who doesn't like to be talked about, and if you casually reveal his criteria for selecting warriors, you'll definitely lose your opinion of him. ”

"Huh? Is there still such a statement? ”

Xiao Weiming's eyes widened and he said:

"And what did I say on the forum?"

"Not really!"

Orchid shook her head and whispered:

"Woo Meow, you know those guys, right? Their luck in the game has reached an unbelievable level, but any mission or reward related to luck, they will definitely have an accident.

I thought it was their hands black.

But when I was bored the other day, rummaging through previous posts on the forum, I suddenly discovered that the gossip between Master Murphy and Lady Tracey had been spread by them in the first place.

Emmm, to be honest, I don't think it's a coincidence based on how intelligent the NPCs in this game are.

Don't forget, Murphy has some GM permissions as a main story NPC, and veteran players say they have seen Murphy kick Meow offline.

That's why I have to say it.

I feel that the unique NPC of Master Murphy may be 'played in real time' by the development team at some point, so as to fine-tune the plot in a way that does not affect the player's game experience, and the unfortunate thing about Brother Meow is that the development team is 'worried' about saying bad things behind their backs.

But I don't have proof. ”

"Oh, okay."

Xiao Wei Ming nodded, and she said with some sorrow:

"But I haven't brushed Baroness Miriam's favor since I entered the game, and when has I brushed it from scratch. Ay! Wait a minute! I had an idea. ”

She looked up to the orchid and said:

"What if a player who already has a friendship level visits the Baroness, and I go with me as a minion or friend? It is up to him to make a request for a viewing gift"

"Theoretically possible!"

Orchid nodded and said:

"But you may not be able to find players who are willing to accompany you on adventures, and taking the initiative to ask NPCs for this kind of thing will definitely reduce their favorability, let alone the favorability of important NPCs like Archon Miriam."

"And what if it's another NPC?"

Xiao Wei Ming waved his hand and said:

"If it's an NPC that takes me in, there's no such problem, right?"

"Huh?"

Orchid looked at the little reed name in Zhizhu's hand in surprise, and she said suspiciously:

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, I'm looking for the handsome and gentle Lord Murphy!"

The little man laughed and said:

"He basically doesn't do anything serious every day except for patrolling the territory, and he can squander a lot of time, as his reserve warrior, this little request shouldn't make him remove me, right? As you said, his opinion algorithm is different from other NPCs.

I'm already qualified, and I deserve preferential treatment, right? ”

"Well, it does!"

Orchid nodded, glanced at the proud little reed, and said:

"You're such a clever little ghost."

——

The news that Xiao Wei Ming passed the Black Iron Trial was like a thunderbolt last night, and after a few hours of fermentation, it had already spread crazy in the forum, blowing up almost all the little players.

There were constant questions on the forum about how it was done, and the tireless Lumina simply opened a special post and told her all about the process.

At this time, the happy stick who was far away in the sewers of the Crimson Keep was arranging a formation to play a "team fight" with a group of ghouls, and he opened the forum in the game and looked at the text description in the post.

Apparently thinking about what to do with his own trials.

"Do you have to think about reality in a 100% real game?"

Brother Bang's eyes narrowed, and he felt as if he had touched a little doorway.

As a result, because they thought too deeply, the three sprouts who forgot to command and rushed too quickly retreated in time, and there was a gap in the front, and the three ghouls rushed in and grabbed indiscriminately, almost causing serious attrition to the team.

"! What are you afraid of? Take the spear and go up! Push them out! The musketeers are ready to fire! ”

Brother Bang jumped up and shouted, causing the messy front to recover quickly.

But his mind was actually no longer on the battlefield now, and Happy Stick thought about pulling out a sewer map he had drawn himself from his side, rubbing his chin and thinking for several minutes, and said to the guys beside him:

"Brush for another 30 minutes, and it's over today, brothers, come with me to a place to make traps!"

"Huh? Brother Bang, what are you doing as a trap? ”

The tiger and leopard rider Dou asked curiously, and the happy stick narrowed his eyes and said:

"Seduce an elite ghoul, Lao Tzu will pass the black iron trial tonight! We are also preparing to develop a set of playing styles that can be used by everyone. Our manly husband can't be flattened by other people's little girls, right? ”

At the same time, on the edge of the sewers in the outer city, the soldiers who were training with the cat hero were also discussing what happened last night.

Xiao Weiming's full-service accomplished macho men are hot-blooded, and they can't wait to catch a ghoul to come over to practice their hands now.

"A person who singled out the black iron elite was really done by a girl, alas, shame!"

Lin Beigou patted his face and elongated his voice to laugh at himself, which made the other three brothers silent, but the cat brother who was sitting next to him grinned, picked up the water bladder and took a sip, then got up with a big sword and said:

"What do you do all the time comparing with others? Gotta compare yourself to yourself! The parry dodge in this game is so realistic, you have practiced your skills, not to mention the heads-up elite, and it is no problem if you have not been injured. ”

"Huh? Brother Cat you can beat the elite I believe, but it doesn't hurt. Tsk, that's an exaggeration. ”

"What? Unbelief? Hey, give me a few more days to touch the doorway of this game, and then let you open your eyes, but it's really not good to use the blood vulture swordsmanship, this thing has more than enough attacks, and the dexterity is insufficient, which is the hard wound of the swordsmanship itself.

You have to find a way to learn a set of offensive and defensive skills.,You guys first tell me how to brush up on favorability in this game?

When I was playing with His Excellency Maxim before, I saw him use a set of swordsmanship that can dodge without damage, and I plan to learn it, and then I should be able to take on the elite alone. ”

"Ahh

Maxim, who was escorting the convoy out of Batasin, suddenly sneezed without warning, causing one of the heirs next to him to look at him strangely.

Say:

"My lord, what's wrong? Injured? ”

"Nope."

Maxim, heavily armed, rode on his warhorse, waved his hands, and said:

"It's just a strange feeling, like I'm being targeted by something that's hard to get around."
