Chapter 8 The Most Powerful Collection

My proposal undoubtedly creates a new ideological direction. In the past, Harbaugh and the others only thought about how to combine stronger and more powerful behemoths, but they never thought that biosynthesis technology could also be used on humans. Once this synthesis technology is completed, each player can be synthesized, which is equivalent to adding additional attributes to the players. This advantage is irresistible to any player and is absolutely loved by everyone.

At my request, Rose immediately recruited some players within the guild who were willing to participate in the experiment. The reason why NPCs are not used is because we don’t know whether NPCs will be willing to do it, and players usually have very good expressive skills. After the experiment, they can express their feelings and opinions, which NPCs will not be willing to do. However, the experimental bodies used by these players are not ordinary large ones, but small ones. Rose had said before the solicitation that the experiment had the possibility of failure, and once synthesized, it could never be separated. Therefore, the trumpet has become the best experimental subject, especially the trumpet that has just reached level 20. No one will feel sorry for this kind of alt. If the synthesis fails, just delete the character and rebuild a new one. Anyway, if you rush through the first twenty levels quickly, you can level it up in three hours.

At about ten o'clock at night, we had collected more than 300 registered players, but I only selected a dozen of them to participate in the experiment, and the others had to line up first. Habo was very surprised that there were so many volunteers. He was just an NPC and did not understand that the alt account was not worth mentioning to the players. Besides, our guild had said that there would be rewards for participating in the experiment, and I found out The rewards are always very valuable, and failure is just a matter of rebuilding a trumpet. Compared with the two, it is more cost-effective to participate in the experiment.

Having volunteers makes it much easier. It is very convenient for experimental subjects and players to command and so on, and a lot of data can be read directly using the attribute list, which is much more accurate than the results of our experiments.

"Xiao Xiaohua. You can enter Area 1." I shouted the name of Player 1 while holding the broadcast crystal. This little flower is only level 30, a male archer, very standard experimental material.

According to Xiao Xiaohua’s own ideas and our arguments, a dagger was placed in the No. 2 raw material area. We don’t dare to use anything too big for the first synthesis, and according to Harbaugh, as long as we master the secrets of synthesizing non-living objects and life, non-living objects are easier to synthesize than simply using life. It's much easier to blend into each other. After all, inanimate objects cannot move, so their state is stable. Accidents are less likely to occur.

Habo activated the magic circle, and we only heard Xiao Xiaohua scream, but the scream suddenly jumped from the raw material area No. 1 outside to the completion area in the center. When the smoke dissipated, Xiao Xiaohua was confused. ' stood in the middle of the field. I quickly picked up the broadcast crystal and asked, "Xiao Xiaohua? Is it still you?"

The little flower in the crystal display waved to the monitoring crystal. "No problem. It doesn't seem to have turned my brain into a lump of iron."

"Where is the dagger? Do you feel where the synthesis went?"

Xiao Xiaohua showed his left hand, then flipped his wrist. With a squeaking sound, a dagger slipped out of his wrist, but the handle was still connected to his wrist. Xiao Xiaohua said to us: "This thing is great for instigating people."

Habo smiled and said: "Haha! The experiment was successful! At least we know that this technology can perform high-end synthesis. And the directional array can indeed ensure that the human brain will not be destroyed."

I held the crystal and said, "Xiao Xiaohua, we have a bigger experiment. Do you dare to do it?"

"It doesn't matter. It just scared me, but I didn't feel anything at all. It's just a small size anyway. If it gets ruined, I'll delete it and rebuild it. It's no big deal."

"Okay. Tomorrow I will give you a synthetic beast as a magic pet. Although it is not very intelligent, its combat power is comparable to that of a giant dragon."

"Thank you, President." Xiao Xiaohua almost jumped up from the ground. In "Zero", magic pets have always been a super luxury product with a price but no market. A magic pet with the same strength as a dragon is simply a huge cake. It would be weird if I wasn’t excited!

"Okay, you go to the raw material area No. 1 first. We are going to have a hodgepodge this time. We hope to come up with some good things."

Xiao Xiaohua quickly ran to the raw material area No. 1, while Habo and I discussed what would be better to put in other experimental areas. After many discussions, we all felt that large creatures would seriously affect the player's size, so we could only use small creatures, and they couldn't be too disgusting creatures.

After half an hour of deliberation, we finally decided on the content of the experimental product. The number one ingredient is the little flowers. He is a composite subject. Ten kilograms of refined steel were sent to Area 2. Placed in area three is a giant-winged swan. This creature has a pair of huge wings that are completely disproportionate to its body. We hope to transplant his wings to players. The fourth raw material is a city return scroll, which is hoped to give players the ability to teleport. Ingredients No. 5 is a five-color poisonous python.

After all the raw materials were in place, Harbaugh began to preside over the activation of the magic circle. The magic circle flashed and Xiao Xiaohua reappeared in the central completion area, but his image had changed a lot. In order to avoid interference during synthesis, players take off only their underwear when entering the raw material area. Xiao Xiaohua originally only wore a pair of underpants and was completely naked. Now he was still wearing only a pair of underpants. We can clearly see a faint green light shining under his naked skin. And he has a pair of huge wings on his back, just like an angel. But his wings are quite handsome in color. It is actually colorful, like a peacock.

"Xiao Xiaohua? Is it okay?"

"Yeah. I'm still here, but it feels weird."

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Harbaugh asked nervously.

Xiao Xiaohua shook her head. "There's nothing wrong with my body. I just feel like I can't control my center of gravity, and my body always feels like it's falling backwards."

"That's normal. You have an extra pair of wings on your back, so your center of gravity is farther back. Just lean forward as much as possible when standing on the ground."

"I know this, but I feel like my body has become a little heavier."

"This is also normal. You have an extra pair of wings on your back, and it is also fused with ten kilograms of steel. The increase in weight is an inevitable result."

I said to the crystal: "Look at the 'Sex' column of your subordinates. Are there any changes?"

Xiao Xiaohua disappeared from the spot for a while and then reappeared: "There is something extra in my attributes."

"What's extra?"

"There is an additional flight time countdown item, as well as a durability item and several additional attributes."

"What are the specific changes?"

"The flight time item shows twenty minutes. As soon as I flap my wings, the countdown will start. But as soon as I stop, the reverse time will start. That is, I have to rest as long as I fly. The extra durability attribute' The sex value is one thousand, but I don’t know what it is for. In terms of attributes, I have an extra poison resistance attribute, and I also have an additional attribute of individual liquid being poisonous. In addition, my health value and defense have increased a lot than before, but the agility has become lower, but not much. Oh, by the way, I also have an option to teleport back to the nearest teleportation array by myself. But it is limited to use once a day. .”

Habo turned to me and said: "As the body becomes heavier, agility naturally decreases. As for the increase in vitality, it is probably because the three creatures merged into one, so the hit points are added together. The defense power and extra durability attributes are probably that Made of a piece of steel.”

After hearing this, I immediately suggested going downstairs to experiment with Xiaoxiaohua face to face. A few minutes later we arrived at Xiaoxiaohua carrying a bunch of equipment. I asked the experimenter to give me an ordinary weapon, and then asked Xiaoxiaohua to stretch out his hand. "Be patient." I slashed Xiaoxiaohua's arm with my sword, but I didn't use much force, just to test the defense.

Xiao Xiaohua looked nervous with his eyes closed, but the sword blade made a crisp sound when it hit his arm. Harbo was surprised and walked over and knocked on Xiaoxiaohua's chest. The result was a sound like knocking on a steel plate.

"Good guy. It's all made of metal. No wonder you said your agility has decreased. It's good to be able to move such hard muscles."

Xiao Xiaohua herself was surprised and knocked on her chest. The result was the sound of steel hitting steel, but strangely it was still elastic when pressed with her hands. It seems that the steel plate is not on the outside, but under the surface skin.

Harbaugh came over with a big hammer and said: "Get out of your way, let me test whether the durability property is in addition to the defense power."

We saw all the big hammers ducking to the side, and Xiao Xiaohua watched nervously as Habo staggered towards this side holding the hammer that was bigger than him. I simply walked over and took the hammer with one hand. "I'll do it!"

He picked up the big hammer and hit Xiaoxiaohua's chest with a heavy blow. The little flower was knocked more than ten meters away before falling. He got up, patted his butt and ran back. "It's strange that I didn't receive any damage notification!"

"What? No harm warning?" I was also frightened. There is no damage prompt indicating that the health value has not changed. But even if I can't break his defense, at least I can forcefully deduct blood by losing a little life, right? How could there be no defense? "After you go offline, see if there are any changes in your subordinates' sex."

Xiaoxiaohua went offline to see her subordinate's sex and then came back. "The durability has dropped by more than 600."

"It seems that it's not that there is no response, but that there will be no damage before the durability is lost. Isn't this equivalent to adding a super protective layer?" Habo exclaimed: "President Ziri said that synthesizing humans was unimaginable to me, but now It seems that the president still has the foresight. If we strengthen our cavalry in this way, the light cavalry can also have the combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry."

I waited for a while and then said to Xiaoxiaohua: "Look at your subordinate's sex and see if the durability has changed."

Xiao Xiaohua immediately nodded and went offline. After a few seconds he came up again. "The durability has increased by three points. It seems that as long as I am online, the durability will automatically recover, but the speed seems to be relatively slow."

I gave him a wound medicine. "Eat it. Wait five minutes and then log off and watch again."

After taking the medicine and waiting for five minutes, Xiaoxiaohua went to see her subordinate Xing again. When he came up, he said: "Another four points have been added."

Habo immediately said: "It seems that durability is not a loss of life, and the medicine for injury has no effect."

I thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Xiaohua, don't move yet." After saying that, I picked up the hammer, then activated the repair skill and started banging on Xiao Xiaohua. Among my auxiliary professions is the blacksmith profession, and of course I also have the skill to repair equipment, but I have never used the repair skill on players before. This thing should be for repairing equipment. Isn't repairing people just like beating them?

After a lot of random knocking, I asked Xiaoxiaohua to go offline and cut the attributes again. After going online, Xiao Xiaohua said excitedly: "President. The durability is full!"

"As expected!" Durability is not a life attribute and must be treated in the same way as equipment. "Stand still, I'll use a hammer to polish off your durability and see if you can recover after it falls off. If it's just a one-time attack, it's useless!"

"OK."

I picked up the hammer and hit it with one-third of my strength. I didn't use much force the previous times, but this time the little flower flew out like a cannonball. It hit the wall and bounced off. As soon as he landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which startled me: "I forgot this was a trumpet account!" I'm already over 900 levels, but this guy is only level 31. Even without turning on PK mode, just Pure shock damage is enough to kill this guy in seconds. Fortunately, I used a hammer with very low damage, and I didn't use my full strength.

He quickly ran over and turned the little flower over. "Sorry, I forgot you were using a trumpet!"

Xiao Xiaohua vomited blood and said: "Fortunately, I turned down the pain mode. Otherwise, you would have hurt me to death! Wow! The bones seem to be broken! Who knows the healing technique? This is a serious injury, and the health value cannot be Automatically recover!" The game "Zero" is very realistic. The degree of injury to the personnel will determine the speed of damage recovery. If the damage exceeds a certain level, the health value will not be recovered but will continue to decrease. This is the serious injury mode. If you don't save him, you will die.

"Don't move." I am an animal tamer. I have a lot of auxiliary magic, and of course I can also use healing magic. A burst of white light flashed across Xiaoxiaohua and she no longer vomited blood. "How about it?"

"No problem! I just don't have the strength to stand up right now!"

"Then you went offline and took a look at how Durijiu is doing."

"Good place." Xiao Xiaohua went offline and looked at her subordinate's sex and then came back: "Durability is one, it seems that it is not a one-time attribute of sex. It should automatically recover after being deleted."

"That's good." I thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever felt injured and dull after your durability was knocked out?"

"No, not at all. Like full status."

Harbaugh knew what I meant immediately. In "Zero", the injured person's actions will be affected. The more serious the injury, the greater the impact. This makes the injured person more likely to be injured again, and the more he is beaten, the weaker he becomes. But if the durability is increased, it will be different. No matter how you fight before the durability is exhausted, it will be the same as not being injured. This greatly reduces the possibility of being injured again and gives players more opportunities to make mistakes. You will not be injured due to a moment of negligence and will never be able to defeat your opponent again. Like now when players of similar strength fight against each other, the outcome depends entirely on who is injured first. After being injured, his movements are affected and he will definitely be unable to defeat his opponent. But with this durability, the player is in full condition until he is actually injured, and the enemy will start to weaken as long as he is injured once. This advantage is too great.

A mage in charge of research suddenly said: "I wonder if adding more steel would make it more durable?"

"This is a problem." Harbaugh hesitated: "I always feel that durability is not necessarily related to the weight of steel."

"I think so." I agreed with Habo's idea. "That's it. Let's find more people to infiltrate different amounts of steel and see what the effect is?"

"ok."

Just do it. We asked Xiaoxiaohua to delete her trumpet and practice again, and we invited dozens of players to participate in the test. This time we didn’t put anything else, we just fused the player with steel, and the metal content used was different each time. From one kilogram to twenty kilograms. One kilogram per level, and then record the test results. Soon all the integration was successful. And everyone has obtained the same durability attribute as the little flower, but there are problems in other aspects.

After repeated testing, we concluded that the penetration amount of steel should be related to the self-weight of the main fusion body. The actual penetration amount of steel cannot be less than 2% of the player's weight. In other words, an adult man weighing 70 kilograms cannot have less than 1.4 kilograms of steel fused, otherwise the durability attribute will not appear. But that doesn’t mean more is better. After many tests, it has been proven that the most appropriate amount of steel penetration is between 2% and 3% of the body weight, because the durability value has nothing to do with the amount of steel penetrated. No matter how much steel you add, you can't improve the durability. As long as it exceeds 2% of your body weight, even adding half and half to your own weight won't improve the durability even a little bit, it will only cause the agility to continue to decrease. When the penetration amount is between 2% and 3%, not only will it not affect agility, but it will also form durability attributes. is the most appropriate ratio.

After confirming that the durability value has nothing to do with the steel content, we studied how to improve the durability. As a result, at the suggestion of a mage, we used different metals for testing, and we found the reason. What really determines durability is not the weight of the fused substance, but its own hardness. We tested it with refined steel, pig iron, brass, gold, silver, mithril, and crystal, and found a ton of interesting results.

First we found that the harder the fusion is, the more durable it is. In addition, we also discovered that substances with magical properties can actually enchant the players themselves, just like making magic weapons. One player fused a large piece of Dark Crystal during our experiment, and as a result, any of his attacks dealt Dark Elemental damage. Another player was fused with mercury. As a result, his attacks were poisoned with mercury, and everyone injured by him would be poisoned, but he himself had no reaction at all.

Although we know that the hardness of synthetic materials can determine the value of durability, after much thought, we still feel that we cannot use the hardest material to fuse players, because the hardest thing is diamond, and we really can't afford this money. It is no problem to make diamond fusion for individual players. The whole bank will do it together and I will go bankrupt! Repeated experiments proved that the cheapest hard material I could afford was glass. This stuff is produced in large quantities and not worth much. Harder than steel. Pure glass also has the disadvantage of being easy to burst, but there is no need to worry about this when fused with players, because they do not appear as a whole piece of land after fusion.

After confirming that glass was the best fusion material, we began to study the fusion ratio of this thing. Each material has a different fusion ratio with the player. For example, the fusion ratio of steel only needs to be between 2% and 3% of body weight to be perfect, but other materials do not have this ratio. Glass has a very low fusion ratio. As long as it reaches one thousandth of the body weight, it will be ok. If it penetrates 2% like steel, the player will move as fast as a stone giant and walk in slow motion! One-thousandth of the weight of glass is enough to give a player 3,000 points of durability, and the fused glass can also give all the player's attacks a piercing effect. What an unexpected bonus.

After confirming the synthetic material of glass, several mages suggested that we study whether there is any material that can be added with special attributes. Although the simply increased durability attribute is very useful, no one would think it has more benefits. During previous fusion experiments, we have discovered that many substances can give players some good attributes for their normal attacks, so this time we can specifically study the uses of these special attributes.

Once again, we called a large number of players to participate in the experiment, and we quickly discovered that in order for a certain substance to show its own properties, we only need to add a small amount. And in the process, we even discovered that if multiple substances are combined, even better performance may appear. Instead, we had to overturn the previous research, because if we engage in multi-metal fusion, the weight ratio will inevitably be affected. There is nothing wrong with the fusion experiment. If it is wrong, delete the account and replace it with someone else. There is no problem if there is less fusion, and the secondary fusion will not affect the effect. But if there is too much, we will reduce the portion. It's okay that we are doing experiments now. Once the player's large size is actually fused with too much substance, it will be troublesome. We had no choice but to overthrow it and start over again.

Multi-substance fusion in the human body is not as simple as multi-substance fusion, and the combination of substances and the human body cannot be solved by simple alloy theory. High manganese steel produced by the combination of manganese and iron has an amazing hardness, but when integrated into the human body, it has a completely different effect. We didn't realize before that the steel that was fused at the beginning was already a composite fusion. No wonder the fusion effect of steel has been unstable. It took a long time because there are impurities in the steel, and the impurity content of different batches of steel is also unstable, so the synthesis effect also fluctuates.

We spent the whole night studying. But the result was not only that the optimal mix ratio was not found. On the contrary, we are even more at a loss what to do! The more we study, the more we find that we know too little and have no way to start. Any knowledge is like the ocean. The complexity of alchemy is equally terrifying. The frog sitting at the bottom of the well feels that he understands the entire sky, but the person standing outside feels that he cannot understand the entire sky, while the person in the universe feels that he is as small as dust. This is the gap. We previously thought that fusing several metals could simply enhance the player's attributes. But after doing it all night, I found that I had no idea how to start! Perhaps the main system has no intention of letting us simply complete this integration in a certain way.

Until the sky was completely bright, Habo finally couldn't help but rub his eyes and said: "No! I can't hold on anymore!" NPCs also need to rest. They also have their own schedules in the game, not twenty-four hours a day. Hourly service. Although I don't have to sleep, Habo and the others are all human mages. They were busy all day yesterday, and they didn't sleep this night. They were all as exhausted as heavy smokers.

I shook my head and said, "Damn! I didn't expect the system to be so complicated!"

Haberai stood on the operating table and said with a vague accent: "Alchemy is actually the comprehensive study of the entire magic system and all substances. It is complicated for sure. Thanks to this machine, our evening The results are already more than what we have achieved in previous years." Harbaugh paused here, but then his voice became smaller and smaller. "We need more materials, more time, more...! Huh..." After ten seconds of the words disappearing, snoring began. These old guys' physical strength was seriously exhausted. Now, if any unsuspecting person enters the operation area, he will definitely think that the place has been attacked. The mages fell on their work stations in various postures like corpses. As a big boss, I am very satisfied with the professionalism of my employees, but unfortunately I feel a little dizzy myself! No need to sleep though. But my previous research was too responsible and I would get tired if I used my brain too much.

I called some people in and moved all the masters to the rest area. I asked everyone to do their own work first, and then returned to Essinger. An announcement was issued to the entire guild through the guild management system, announcing the preliminary results of this alchemy experiment. And let players decide when to accept the transformation. I only limited it to five days before accepting modification requests from players in my guild. However, I also explained that the properties of the early modification may not be perfect, but if the modification is too late, the combat effectiveness may not be achieved. This is the same as when players choose a magic pet. A magic pet chosen too early may be too weak. But waiting all the time is not an option. Anyway, let them decide for themselves. I can’t control whether it’s good or bad. At least it won’t be worse than before after we merge.

After announcing the news about strengthening, I summoned Hongyue again, and the quota for the expedition with us in the evening was basically determined. I personally cannot escape, and Hongyue, as the strongest battle mage and vice-president of the guild, naturally cannot escape either. The remaining personnel are not simple either.

Kristina. The title of the first fort in Europe is not earned for nothing. This girl can 'shoot' magic bullets faster than a machine cannon. In the German battle that helped the Iron Crusaders establish their dominance, she single-handedly suppressed a group of hundreds of mages for a minute. More than a hundred mages across the way were pinned to the ground by her alone, but no one dared to raise their head.

Rose. Although he rarely takes action. But Rose has always been the strongest resurrection mage in the guild. A team of twenty people can be taken care of by her as a nurse-type person, and the saved quota can be used to carry the main battle profession. Moreover, her super skill, Life Transfer, can resurrect players who have died in battle. This trick is even more powerful than cheating in an elimination match where there are not many people. Think about how much it would cost the enemy to kill someone like me? What would they think if they found me standing up again after they worked so hard to kill me? Besides, Rose, the super female Zhuge, can also help us with some issues. Many of the tasks in "Zero" are not about combat effectiveness, and even if you are not smart, you will suffer.

True red, gold coins. Needless to say, these two girls, the power of national weapons is overwhelming.

Dark pill, shadow spring. The two strongest assassins in the guild, the twenty-member combat team belongs to the large-scale army. At least two such professionals are required.

rag. Special professional props master. This guy didn't look great when he first came into the meeting. But then, for some unknown reason, his strength suddenly increased. In fact, his profession is a bit like a blaster in the special forces, except that he also has the ability to make traps and some special props. It can often have some unexpected effects.

Skimming the ice. Ghost Dragon Knight, a powerful main battle profession. He doesn't have any fancy skills, he's just one word strong, and he speaks entirely on his strength.

Purple moon. What else can my sister say? Apart from the magic pet, she and I are basically on the same level.

Bingbing, Bingling, Qingxin, Mingjing. These four are all from the music department. After repeated arguments, Hongyue believes that the more niche professions in "Zero" are, the stronger they are. Music players are not good at main combat, but their assistants are better than priests. They are basically equal to the combined professions of priests and curse mages. They can add status to their own people and harass the enemy. Considering that I have a lot of summoned creatures, it is actually more cost-effective to bring a auxiliary profession than a main battle profession.

Dancing Angel Four. We have confirmed that these quadruplets are typical members of the group who kill invisibly. They are not necessarily useful in battles. They are fast and ruthless in multiplayer PKs.

Lark. Even though Ying is usually a manly man, in fact he can't beat his wife at all. Bai Ling's archery skills are nothing to talk about. Just one accuracy. In fact, this is enough for an archer. Besides, she is a magic archer herself, and she has many fancy archery skills, especially the peacock arrow, which is very slippery. One person is equivalent to a small group of archers.

All twenty people gathered together, and under my leadership, we all found a top monster area for a short run-in training. The training area we entered is actually the leveling area with the highest level monsters in China. Apart from non-dedicated leveling spots like Heavenly Court and the Demon Gathering Place, there are probably no places where the monsters here are of higher levels. The monsters here start at level 800. There is no cap, and monsters around level 900 can often be seen appearing in groups. When twenty of us walked through the low-level leveling area and entered that area, the jaws of the nearby players almost dropped. Several of our group are well-known figures, none of their mounts are below level 800, and the equipment on them shines brightly. It is clearly the All Artifact Legion. For ordinary players, one artifact is a miracle. Anyone who sees twenty people with artifacts gathered together will be stunned.

When we walked out, a player far away gasped and said: "Am I right? Those are artifacts, right? These people are too awesome, right?"

The player next to him said: "You didn't even look at who that person was. Didn't you recognize it? The one in the lead is Zi Ri, the boss of the Frost Land, and the one next to him is his wife Rose. The one in red behind him is the original member of the Goddess Alliance. Chief. The number one mage in China. There are two more holders of national weapons in our country. You don’t know them, right? Although I don’t know the rest of them, but since they came out together, they are probably all frosts. All the elites in China are in the Frost Rose Alliance, and all the elites in the Frost Rose Alliance are here. What does a full artifact set mean?"

The player nodded and said: "That's true! But it looks really dazzling! I wish we could also get a set to wear!"

"Go away! One more set? If you can get one, you should go burn some incense."

The player was unbalanced and slashed the undead in front of him. "Really, I have a magical weapon... Huh? What is this?" The player who was complaining suddenly found something flashing on the felled enemy, and it actually exploded the equipment. He picked it up and looked at it. Then he jumped three feet high. "Sacred weapon staff! God of Explosion..."

The person next to him covered his mouth. "Don't want to live anymore? If you explode the artifact, dodge quickly. Don't you dare shout while holding this thing. Be careful of being robbed."

"Then why aren't they afraid?"

"Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? I want to snatch it away. Who dares? It only takes a few minutes for us to go up and down."

"Well, I'd better send this back first."

The two people ran away noisily, and our team also entered the mountain. Although the high-level monsters are powerful, the monsters in the leveling area are not as smart as the mission monsters, and the ones we have here are all the best among the best. The fighting power can only be said to be exaggerated and indescribable. Sweeping all the monsters along the way, before the game, I killed seven in and seven out in the mountains. Monsters below level 1,000 can't even touch our sides.

We returned to Essinger one hour before the start of the second phase of the Ace Guild Competition. We took some rest first, then discussed some issues in previous cooperation and started preparations. Although there is a super nurse like Rose, you still have to bring medicine. In addition, food and drinking water cannot be skipped. Who knows how long the competition will take? If we encounter a perverted competition that requires us to compete in endurance, wouldn't that be a failure?

After all preparations were completed, we rested for a short period of time, and the game finally started. A voice suddenly appeared above my head. "It's time to prepare for the second stage of the competition. The president of our guild will personally order twenty people to enter the competition space." The voice ended, and a space door appeared in front of me. Twenty of us quickly walked in. When we are away, the command and other matters are handed over to Ying and Shura Ziyi. Anyway, they are the most senior commanders. With them here, there should be no problem in dispatching.

I was the last one to enter the space door, and it was closed as soon as I entered. It could probably count the number of people. We appeared directly on the edge of a main road. There seemed to be a huge city in front of us. The distance was no more than one kilometer away. There were many people coming and going on the road. It looks very prosperous. Behind us is a forest, which seems to be quite large. There are grasslands on both sides, which appear to have been cleared manually. Such open spaces are usually cleared outside the city, mainly because they are afraid that the enemy will not be able to find them when they rush forward, so clear the open space in advance to facilitate defense.

A voice appeared above us. "Welcome to the competition space. This space is exclusively for the competition and will not appear again. It is completely isolated from the regular map. You can destroy it at will. There are still ten minutes until the official competition starts. Please read the mission instructions during this period."

A scroll fell at my feet. I picked it up and opened it and looked at it. This thing was the mission statement. Rose took it and looked at it, then told us the key points. "This mission is actually not a mission, it is a points game. All five of our participating guilds were thrown into a map. Each team has twenty people. Every time another guild player is killed You can win ten points for the team, and no points will be deducted if your own team members die. However, when fighting within the scope of that city, you need to pay attention to the defense team in the city. Because this is an advanced competition mission space, the guards in the city are not like the city in the regular map. The guards are so weak. The guards here are all level 900 NPCs. And there are so many of them. It is best not to be seen fighting in the city, otherwise you will suffer a loss if you provoke the NPCs and get killed. In addition, there is a kind of soul in this mission map. There are unlimited amounts of crystal things. You can look for clues in the city ahead, and then follow the clues to find the soul crystal outside the city. But remember, every time you get a clue, you must find it immediately. Because there is no way to find the crystal before you find it. You will get a second prompt. Each soul crystal obtained can win twenty points for the team. At the same time, the crystal itself is also a mission reward and can be taken out after leaving the mission space. Each such crystal can offset the death penalty once. The competition time limit is twelve hours. After the time is up, the points will be calculated and the two teams with the least points will be eliminated. That's all." Rose put away the scroll.

"Is this a points game?" Hongyue asked, "How do you think we should arrange it?"

Rose thought for a moment and said: "First of all, we should focus on finding crystals and fighting as a supplement. Because this kind of crystal is very useful and the points are very high. We all have guardian spears. It won't waste too much time on the road. More You can get very high points by finding some crystals. Besides, we will definitely encounter each other. Taking the opportunity to kill a few people can also add a lot of points. But we can't be too lazy to fight. There are also some things worth noting. It is best to switch to Ziri first. In Silver Moon mode, you will definitely use your high charm value to investigate clues faster than us. Also, if possible, it is best to frame the other four guilds and be targeted by the City Guard, so that they can search for crystals in the city. It's going to be a lot of trouble, and we can take some advantage. That's all for now."

"Okay, let's set off." I switched to the alt account of Yin Yue and immediately led everyone to run towards the city. "Oh!" I just ran two steps and was knocked down by an invisible wall. Forget that the game hasn’t started yet, we can’t get through it yet! After being laughed at by everyone, I could only wait until the start of the game in embarrassment before following Rose and running towards the city. What a shame!

This city is quite big, probably it was specially set up to make it difficult for us to find clues! As soon as we entered the city gate, we discovered the guards here. They were really exaggerated. They were all high-level cavalry, followed by mages. They were even more exaggerated than the elite guards of our guild. The most frightening thing is that such a lineup is actually used as a small soldier. There are such cavalry squads wandering around in the city. It is estimated that fighting on the main road is absolutely forbidden, otherwise they will be killed by these NPCs before they can kill the enemy. Finished!

The NPCs in the city are obviously very intelligent. When they saw us passing by, they would stare at us and drool. It made me shiver! At Roseland's suggestion, we first found a store that looked good and walked in.

The boss was stunned when he saw our large group of people. Then he immediately came to entertain us warmly. "Is there anything you want?"

"We need soul crystals. Do you sell them here?" Hong Yue asked directly.

The boss looked at her with some embarrassment.

Rose slapped my waist. "It's all on you."

I shook my head helplessly. I walked over and hit the boss, and the boss turned around as if he had received an electric shock. "What are your orders?"

I smiled and 'touched' a crystal coin, held it in my hand, and flicked it up to the sky with my right thumb. The crystal coin turned over in the sky and made a wonderful scream. "We really need the soul crystal. If you know it, please help us. We will not treat you badly. I know you are a good person, please!" I said and took out another small bag and stuffed it in In the hands of the boss.

The boss weighed the pocket in his hand and then looked at me. In the end, I only managed to hold on for a few seconds before succumbing to the money and my monster-level charm. "Okay! It seems that you really need this thing. I can't stand the pain of others, so I have to help you. The soul crystal is an item designated by the royal family, and ordinary citizens like us are not allowed to resell and use it privately, so you It's best to be careful. You go out of the city and go east. There is a river over there. Follow the river into the forest. At the end of the river, there is a spring. Above the spring is a soul that is used to purify the water. Stone, but there are more than thirty guards guarding it. You'd better be careful."

I immediately said with stars in my eyes: "Thank you so much!"

The boss got excited and handed over another piece of paper. "If one is not enough, go here and ask! Maybe you will find something." Not only did I get an accurate clue, but I also got the clue to find the next one, so I didn't have to search around. Having high charm means taking advantage.

After bidding farewell to the boss, we immediately rushed out of the city. The result was very disappointing. When we were approaching the city gate, a group of combatants suddenly appeared in front of us and were talking to passers-by. A row of red arrows immediately flashed out of their heads. There were exactly twenty arrows pointing at twenty people. A beep sounded in my ears. "The first encounter prompts the hostile personnel to remember the opponent's face and it will not be displayed again next time."

Encountered the enemy so early. These people here are all white. Most of the team has warrior professions, and there are very few other professions. I don’t know if the composition of their guilds is unbalanced or if they are specially matched this way.

The other party was also stunned when he saw us, but did not act immediately. We moved as close to the roadside as possible to pass them, and were on guard. Although there are city defense NPCs around, who knows if they will launch a surprise attack here in a flash? It's always good to be careful.

In fact, the other party is just like us. They are all on guard, fearing that we will do something. In the end, this excessive caution harmed them. I would say that bringing a rose as a think tank will definitely be useful. When we passed by those people, Rose suddenly raised her staff. The people on the opposite side had already tensed their nerves. Seeing Rose's move, they immediately took action. But they knew something was wrong as soon as they took action. Rose raised her staff and just stretched out with the staff, but the opponent actually drew out the weapon, and there was an assassin who shot out the darts. I had already received the hint from the rose in advance and reached out my hand to catch the dart.

The surrounding NPCs moved faster than us, and they surrounded us with cheers. This is the city gate. It happens to be the place with the most soldiers. Those people quickly explained to the NPC guard. It's a pity that the guards didn't listen at all, and they had to disarm when they went up. Naturally, a fight ensued. Everyone on our side smiled sinisterly and sped away from the city gate, leaving only the angry throaty screams of the group behind.

Hong Yue burst out laughing as soon as she left the city gate. "Hahahaha! Rose, you are so insidious! Those people must be feeling regretful now! I wonder if they will be completely wiped out and kicked out early."

Bingbing suddenly asked: "Sister Rose, does death in this game not count as a penalty?"

"No." Rose said: "This is a real competition. You will be punished just like death, but you will not lose equipment."

"Oh. Those people are really miserable!"

We put on our flying mounts and laughed all the way to the upper reaches of the river. The forest below was not dense, and the direction of the river could be seen from the sky. The river is not long, but the spring is more than ten kilometers away from the city. It would take more than two hours for the land cavalry from the general guild to go back and forth. We have flying mounts, and they are all equipped with spears. We are very fast and we arrived near the spring in ten minutes.

"Did you see the guards?" We didn't go down directly, but hovered nearby. I plan to first scout out the number and distribution of enemies below.

As an archer, Bai Ling has better eyesight. "I found twenty-nine people. How many did you see?"

"I only saw twenty." Hongyue said.

"Bring, show us where the person you saw is."

Bailing's guidance made us immediately notice the location of those people. Among the people Hongyue found, there were also people Bailing didn't notice. When the two sides were combined, there were exactly thirty-three people. It seemed that the number was roughly this, and the rest of us didn't pay attention. There are other enemies. After confirming the positions of these people, the auxiliary professions began to add protection, and our main combat professions divided their targets. I threw the four giant dragons and the little dragon girl down in one go. Having them contain the enemy would definitely have a deterrent effect.

A spring is actually not very important. These guards are here just to protect the soul stone in the spring. If it were an ordinary game map, it would be nice to have a dozen or so soldiers at level 600 in a place like this, but this is a place specifically for elites like us to compete, and those thirty-three soldiers are all at level 950. The super soldiers are all at the same level as the Ring Knight, and they are terrifyingly strong in combat. The four dragons were stunned but could not restrain them, thanks to the little dragon girl behind them. When the Dragon Flame and Shenlong Secret Technique were used together, the sky near the spring was filled with smoke and dust. Hong Yue and I jumped off our mounts and rushed into the smoke.

We are all good people, but we are a surprise attack, and there are many people. As soon as I landed on the ground, I summoned the Ring Knight and the Humanoid Demon Pet. Everyone went up to fight in a group. I knocked them all down in a few strokes. In less than five minutes, I got a soul crystal.

Holding the crystal with a purple flame in the center, I still didn't believe it. These twenty points were too profitable, right? "Rose, you keep this first." I gave the crystal to Rose.

"I always feel like I'm being stared at by something." Hongyue said suddenly.

Almost at the same time as Hongyue finished speaking, we suddenly heard the prompt sound at the same time: "This is a prompt for the enemy when encountering for the first time. Please remember the other party's appearance and it will not be displayed again next time."

"There are still a bunch of people following us." We also noticed a string of red arrows appearing in the sky, and it goes without saying that the ones pointed at our shoulders were also enemies.
