Chapter 534 Opportunities Are Also Challenges

"Military God, you said before that there are several restrictions on this new type of mission. You just mentioned restrictions on overlords or ruling guilds from accepting missions. So what are the other restrictions?" After figuring out the first After the first restriction, I began to understand the second condition.

Military God explained: "The second limitation is that all buff tasks are very difficult. There are only three difficulty levels: advanced difficulty, special difficulty and hell difficulty. There are no common tasks such as simple, normal, slightly difficult, and difficult. For a level like medium, the starting difficulty is advanced.”

"This shouldn't have much impact on us, right?" After Christina finished speaking, she immediately changed her words: "No, it should be said that it is very beneficial to us. The higher the difficulty of the buff task, the lower the probability that others will get it. Our guild accounts for nine of the top twenty rankings in the world's combat power list, and the top four are the four of us. The system's increase in the difficulty of buff tasks does not mean that everyone will not be able to get buffs, but since we If we are among the top four in the combat power list, then our probability of getting the buff will be much higher than that of ordinary people. In this way, the increase in difficulty will actually become our advantage."

Christina's analysis is relatively reliable. We all have the same idea here, but the God of War pours cold water on us, which makes us feel very sad. "If there is no third restriction, Christina's analysis is very correct, but it is a pity that the system has imposed restrictions on this. It seems to be to balance the strength gap between the forces and make the battle more difficult. The inseparability increases the horror of the war."

"Restrictions? Are players above a certain level not allowed to enter the mission?"

"That's not the case." War God explained: "After the buff mission is received, you can transfer it at will, as long as you can receive the mission. Even if it is transferred to a player in another guild to execute it. Of course, the other party must first They are also members of the overlord or the ruling guild. The system prohibits any player who is not the overlord or the ruling guild from accepting, transferring, or entering buff tasks."

"Then what restrictions are you talking about?"

"The restriction I'm talking about is that the system will reduce the strength of all players who enter the mission. After all players enter the mission, all attributes will be reduced by half of the level."

"Attributes divided by half of the level? Doesn't that make it a new account?" Zhenhong asked in surprise.

Christina said: "No, the attributes of the novice account are still much higher than those of the novice account. After all, it is only divided by half of the level, not directly divided by the level, so although the strength will drop significantly, it will not become It’s a newbie account, but there won’t be many left.”

At this time, Gold Coin suddenly said: "I just did some calculations. After dividing my attributes by half of the level, the remaining attributes are probably similar to my own attributes at level 77! I am really a newbie!"

"Only level 77 left?" Zhenhong was really not calm now. "Which of you is good at math can help me do the math!"

I asked Zhenhong to open the properties panel, and then took a look at it for her. The results came soon. "Your weakened strength is probably equivalent to your level 78 or so."

"Eh? Why does she have higher attributes than me?" Jin Coin said in surprise: "My ranking is higher than hers!"

"It's not a matter of ranking. Your profession has late-stage bonuses. The higher the attributes, the more exaggerated the combat power. After weakening, it will not be as high as the absolute attributes of True Red."

Christina also shouted at this time: "It's strange, maybe I made a mistake. After weakening my attributes, I can actually reach the attributes at level 86."

"So many?" I turned around and asked Christina to reveal her attributes to help her calculate, and the result was really like this. Christina's attributes do seem to be much higher than others. However, I estimate that this situation is mainly caused by the additional attributes.

According to the attribute calculation method mentioned by the God of War. Divided by half the level. A normal player's attributes should change to his attributes at level two. Since the player's attributes in the game "Zero" are multiplied by the initial settings according to the level, dividing by the number of levels will return to the first level state. Of course, dividing by half the level will return the attributes to the level 2 state. but. The player's attributes are actually not just the initial attributes multiplied by the level, because players can also get many additional attributes during the game. For example, there are many tasks that permanently increase a certain attribute by some amount, and some even directly increase the attribute. Initial attribute points are added, and every time players after level 200 level up, they will be given additional attribute points ranging from zero to three points based on their performance at the current level. This additional attribute will also change the player's total attributes. Attribute value, so the actual attributes the player gets after dividing by the level will not really be the same as the attributes at level two, but will become a more advanced state based on the number of additional attributes you get.

Christina obviously has a lot of extra attributes, so her attributes can reach level 86, but the gold coins have relatively few extra attributes, not even as good as True Red.

"Boss, how many attributes do you have?"

"Wait a moment." I looked at my attributes and then calculated them. The result shocked even me. "Holy crap, I still have attributes of level 108 after I'm done with it."

"You're awesome!" Jin Coin extended a thumbs up and said in admiration.

Christina added at this time: "In this way, although advanced players have more attributes that have been weakened, they actually still have advantages. It's just that the attribute advantages are not as obvious as before."

Jin Coin also nodded and said: "For someone like the boss, it's usually no problem to fight a hundred people with one person. After weakening, he may be in danger if he is beaten by 20 or 30 people."

What the gold coin said is true. Normally, the absolute value of my attributes is too high, but there are only a small number of people who can fight with me at the same time. Even if they are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people at the same time, they can't fight me at the same time. Only one of them can really hit me. It's just the dozens of people in the inner circle, including long-range attacks, if they all fight at close range. It would be incredible to have seven or eight people take action at the same time. In this case, the numerical advantage has no meaning to me, because there are not enough people to kill me. However, if the attribute is weakened, it is different. Although my attributes are still higher than others, the absolute numerical gap between the opponent and me has been narrowed a lot. In this case, the people surrounding me can use their numerical advantage to close the gap, and naturally I may be Killed by human sea tactics. Of course, the number of enemies who can enter the buff mission is also limited, and I am definitely not the only one on our side. So this worry is not too big. Besides, no one has officially taken over the buff task yet. Therefore, there may not necessarily be confrontation between multiple guilds.

At this time, the God of War continued: "In addition to the weakening of absolute attributes, the attributes of your equipment can also be weakened according to the attributes and levels of the equipment itself. Although the weakened artifacts will definitely still be more harmful than ordinary weapons, they are also different from yours. The same goes for you. The gap will be narrowed a lot. Also, after you enter the buff mission, the power of your own skills will also decrease proportionally, so don't expect to use high-level skills to sweep these weak players."

Christina asked with some doubts: "But after our attributes dropped, our health and magic power must also have dropped. The magic value required by those advanced skills is amazing. In this way, wouldn't we be unable to use advanced skills? Already?"

The God of War explained: "The magic power consumption of skills will also decrease, so advanced skills are not absolutely unusable. It's just that the magic power consumption of skills has not decreased as much as the power, so the number of uses of advanced skills will definitely not reach your peak. The state of the period. Moreover, some high-level skills have actually lost their meaning. Because the magic power consumption has not dropped much, but the power has dropped significantly, so with the same magic value, releasing multiple low-level magic may cause more damage than releasing one high-level magic. The power should be higher, so high-level magic will not be as useful as low-level magic."

Christina immediately became happy when she heard this. "Fortunately, my rainbow magic is a superimposed version of low-level magic. Wouldn't I be taking advantage of it?"

The God of War directly confirmed: "I have analyzed it before. It is really advantageous to enter the buff mission in a situation like Christina's, and the gold coins may be greatly restricted. Her level of Ten Thousand Swords Array is too high." It’s high, but it’s more cost-effective to use normal attacks.”

"Why am I so miserable!" Jin Coin began to cry.

"God of War, can you tell me if there are any restrictions?" I interrupted the gold coin's complaint and continued to ask God of War.

Sure enough, the God of War continued: "I haven't finished what I said before. The second restriction will also be a restriction on the difficulty of the task and there are additional conditions, that is, the difficulty of the task is not transparent."

"What does opaque task difficulty mean?"

"You don't know whether the mission is Advanced Difficulty or Hell Difficulty before you accept it. Unlike ordinary missions, you can directly see the difficulty, and then decide whether to accept it or not based on your own strength. The difficulty of buff missions is all hidden, and you don't enter the mission You don’t know the exact difficulty.”

"Holy crap, this is a rhythm that's going to trick you!"

"There are even more pitfalls." The God of War was probably suffering from the syndrome of adding insult to injury. At this time, he actually added: "The fourth restriction is that all buff missions have failure penalties, and the mission penalty is the reverse buff."

The so-called reverse buff is to reverse the properties of the original buff. For example, if the content of a certain buff is to increase the player's health by 50%, then its reverse buff is to reduce the player's health by 50%. Anyway, the attributes are reversed, and the increase becomes a decrease, and the protection becomes damage. In this way, players must be careful when accepting buff tasks. There are actually penalties for such a difficult task, and the difficulty is not optional. It depends purely on luck. It would be really tragic if you accidentally accept the wrong task.

"Are there any other restrictions?"

"Yes." I just asked casually, but I didn't expect that there was actually one. The God of War said very quickly: "The fifth restriction is that after all buff missions are started, the default player blood level setting is adjusted to 100%, which means the player is forced to enter the brutal mode. The damage and pain will be maximized, and the bloody scenes will not be blocked. Instead, additional Increase, anyway, those with poor mental endurance will be directly frightened and collapsed by the picture, and the mission will fail without fighting. "

"My sun! This is going to kill us!" Gold Coin shouted.

I shook my head and said: "No, this setting is very reasonable. Normal tasks are open to all players, and they are for everyone to play. Entertainment masters, so there is no need to force settings, and the content is also very user-friendly. Players can play according to Your own preferences determine many features of the mission, so that everyone can play comfortably. But this kind of buff mission is basically prepared for large guilds to fight national wars. It can be seen from those restrictions that this thing is actually aimed at those who have It is an additional test for high-end players with strength and perseverance, so there is no need for any humanization. You can do whatever you want to do to your heart. If you can't stand it, just don't take it. You can't blame others for being overtaken by others."

"President, what you said does make sense." After Gold Coin finished speaking, he asked: "God of War. Are there any other restrictions?"

"Of course there is. But there are only the last two left." The God of War said: "The sixth restriction is that during the buff mission, all the medicines brought into the mission by the player will be sealed. Even if they are eaten, they will not produce any Function. However, there are places in buff missions where you can get medicines. And the medicines obtained in the mission can be used in sub-missions. The medicines that have not been used will disappear automatically after the mission is over."

"This is indeed a cheating mission!" Jin Coin sighed.

The God of War continued: "Article 7 Restrictions. Unless otherwise specified during the mission, it is prohibited to use space teleportation props or attributes. However, teleportation skills are not restricted. There are only seven restrictions in total, but there is no information about the buff mission. More than these."

"What else is there?"

"All monsters in buff missions will be buff monsters, which means these monsters have at least one kind of buff."

"All of them?" Zhenhong asked in surprise.

The God of War said with great certainty: "Yes. They are all. The only difference is the conditions and types of buffs. Of course, the buffs of the mobs must be very weak, but the buffs can be superimposed, so as the number increases..."

"Just thinking about it makes me feel like the situation is terrible!" Christina said.

I also nodded and said: "As expected, it is a mission that can only be opened by overlord-level guilds. The difficulty is different from general missions! So, God of War, do you know the specific conditions for generating the buff?"

"No. What we know is that all monsters have buffs, but the specific conditions for their generation are unknown. Most monsters should have hit-type buffs, which will only take effect after hitting you. But it is not ruled out that there are There may be area buffs or death buffs, and other types may also exist, and it is even possible for one monster to have multiple buffs.”

The so-called range buff is actually similar to a halo. Such as endurance aura and resistance aura, these are considered range buffs, that is, they will take effect as long as they enter a certain range. As for the death buff, this does not mean a buff that will cause death, but a buff that occurs at the moment of death. Some death buffs are triggered when a monster dies, and some are automatically triggered when a monster kills other creatures. The former tends to be more powerful, but the latter can be used multiple times. However, I personally feel that buffed monsters are difficult to deal with, because it is not difficult to kill one, but after killing it, it will often bring with it a negative buff. If it cannot be removed in time, subsequent battles will most likely suffer.

Christina suddenly asked: "If all the monsters in this buff mission have buffs, does that mean there may also be buffs in the mission?"

"This information has not been released, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Christina thought for a while and said: "In this way, although this kind of buff mission will greatly limit the player's combat effectiveness, advanced players still have a great advantage, so even if every country in the world has its own ruling guild, Our guild still has great advantages."

"I think this still depends on luck." Jin Coin said: "Didn't you hear what the God of War said? The buff tasks are all tasks of unknown difficulty, so if you are unlucky and get a very bad task, it will be a tragedy. ”

I ignored the discussion between the gold coins and the others, and continued to ask the God of War: "Is there any other information about the mission?"

"The remaining information is only a warning. The content is to wake up all players who are preparing to participate in the buff mission. Various seals may appear frequently in the mission. It is usually impossible for players to maintain all their abilities. There will always be some abilities that are sealed. state, so it’s best to be mentally prepared.”

"Sure enough, you're cheating people to death without paying for it!" Zhen Hong sighed.

Gold Coin also followed: "Even we can't guarantee that this kind of mission will be passed 100%, right? If it fails... the consequences will be disastrous!"

"So this thing is simply used to trick people!" Christina said.

"No matter what this thing is for, we must pick one up immediately and try it out." I said decisively.

Christina and Zhenhong both looked at me strangely, not understanding why I decided so resolutely to take on a buff mission right away.

Seeing their questioning looks, I had no choice but to explain to them. "Now the whole world must be in chaos because of this buff mission. All countries that have not decided on the overlord guild or the ruling guild will inevitably fall into a state of civil war quickly, including Russia, which has always been against us, and there will definitely be no time to control it now. We are."

Christina said tentatively: "So we will get a relatively stable safety period, which is just used to test the strength and effect of the buff mission. Regardless of success or failure, the enemies are busy anyway, and we don't have to worry about being attacked. Yeah?"

I smiled and nodded and said: "Most of it is correct, but if we successfully get multiple high-level buffs, then we can temporarily give up the task of testing buffs and directly start a national war with Russia or some other country. It's over. Anyway, they haven't decided on the overlord guild yet, and there is no buff support. If we have a bunch of continuous buffs, we can definitely create an overwhelming power gap. Such a rare opportunity cannot be missed."

Christina and the others nodded after listening to my words, so I directly ordered the war god to have the fleet come over quickly to take us back home. The situation of this buff mission must be tested as soon as possible. (To be continued...)
