Jiang Qiao felt that he might not be able to sleep tonight.
The most important part of building the inner world is the gameplay of the inner world. Jiang Qiao has already built the model of the inner world... Now Jiang Qiao needs to improve the gameplay and rewards of the inner world.
We will talk about the rewards of the other world later. Now Jiang Qiao’s main priority is to figure out how to play the other world.
First of all, monsters will spawn on the roadside in the inner world. These monsters are all monsters from the Holy Spirit, but this is only the most basic way to play in the inner world.
Jiangqiao also needs to add expanded gameplay, just like the construction of the stronghold on Brand Island.
The extended gameplay of the other world is NPC competition and regional battle.
These two modes of play are combined together.
Jiangqiao will subdivide the inner world into various areas and let the guilds compete for control of these areas.
The way to fight for control is to challenge the NPC arena and complete various competitive tasks.
What Jiang Qiao needs to improve now is the content of NPC trials or NPC duels.
Then the question is... the inner world is so big, does Jiang Qiao have to create all the NPCs that players challenge by himself
The answer is no. Jiang Qiao will create some 'simple difficulty NPCs' for casual players to challenge.
But Jiang Qiao couldn't create the NPCs of normal difficulty, expert difficulty, or even the difficulty of "What are you kidding? Can this NPC be defeated?"
The NPC from the other world challenges Jiang Qiao and hopes to make it into a...technical copy.
Players may not have good equipment, but they can still win if they have good skills, and it can also hone players' skills.
Therefore, the combat skills of these NPCs must also be excellent.
Therefore, Jiangqiao had no choice but to recruit publicly.
Fortunately, the gods of that world were very efficient. In less than two hours, they recruited twelve chosen ones and fifty-three believers who excelled in various combat fields.
Jiang Qiao also built a fighting arena directly outside the dungeon lord's dormitory.
Jiang Qiao decided to review the combat capabilities of these nearly sixty-five recruited reserve NPCs together with the five knights.
This way they can be divided into easy, normal, hard, expert and 'what the hell?' difficulty, uh... just kidding, the last difficulty is hell.
Before they were summoned by their gods, they already knew what they had to do, so Jiang Qiao didn't need to explain too much.
Jiang Qiao directly divided them into six groups according to their health. The NPCs with health below 50,000 were reviewed by himself, and all those above 50,000 were thrown to the five knights.
Among these sixty-five NPCs, only seventeen have health points below fifty thousand, and the average level is forty-seven.
"If you win, you can challenge those holy spirits?"
The first NPC walked onto the stage where Jiang Qiao was. He was a familiar face to Jiang Qiao... that was Prince Segman of the Kingdom of Flowing Water.
He is still holding the staff with a value of plus thirteen in his hand. Jiang Qiao is pleased that after two months of absence, Segman's level has reached forty-nine, completely surpassing his mentor.
This forty-nine-level promotion must be a gift from his God.
"Of course." Jiang Qiao was now wearing a new outfit, and he looked like a mysterious man wearing a mask. Segman could not recognize Jiang Qiao.
Segman has been wandering around the Trial Tower for two months, but unfortunately... the Holy Spirit Plush Rabbit he cared about has already gone to a higher-level map, and the holy relic of the Trial Tower has been given to the second-tier players of Leaping Nuclear to refresh.
The moment Jiang Qiao announced the start of the duel, the Plus Thirteen Staff in Segman's hand burst into an even brighter light, and cold frost condensed around him.
The figures of many summoned beasts such as Fire Spirit, Wind Spirit, Earth Spirit, Water Spirit, Thunder Beast, Guardian of Light, etc. also gathered beside Jiang Qiao.
After the elemental summoner awakens, the summoned creatures in combat status barely evolve from two heads to three heads in size. Jiang Qiao can summon twelve summoned beasts at a time... Summoning players can turn the game Holy Spirit into a real-time strategy game.
The frost magic released by Segman has swept over Jiang Qiao's summoned beasts. The wall of flames constructed by the Fire Spirit is unable to withstand the freezing cold wind summoned by Segman.
A cold wind swept through the area where Jiang Qiao was standing, and before Segman could remember to change the spell into a more lethal blizzard, a cheetah made of thunder suddenly pounced on Segman.
The moment he saw the cheetah, he drew out the long sword from his waist, and the long sword flashed with an enchanting red light... Yes, it was also a plus thirteen long sword.
The long sword instantly cut off Jiang Qiao's thunder beast, as easily as a heated blade cutting cheese.
Segman's performance was outstanding. He successfully resisted the sudden attack of Jiangqiao's summoned beast for three full minutes. In the end, he was defeated after his health was reduced to less than 10% under the impact of the fire spirit's self-explosion.
"Difficult." Jiang Qiao made a comment in a very small voice.
Segman is worthy of this level. The normal difficulty is a difficulty that ordinary players can beat with a little effort, and the difficult difficulty is a character that ordinary players need to spend some time researching and practicing combat techniques to beat.
During these three minutes, Segman's combat proficiency was undoubtedly much higher than that of ordinary players. Even though there was a six-level difference between them, he still had a certain chance of winning against those ordinary players.
"Next one." Jiang Qiao restored all his health and mana, and said to the other sixteen people under the ring.
The rest of the people were not as amazed as Jiang Qiao was when he fought with Segman. Jiang Qiao gave most of them an ordinary level rating, with the highest being gold ordinary. There were even three people who were classified as easy difficulty by Jiang Qiao because their levels were too low.
That kind of...novice killer.
Finally, when the second to last person stepped onto the stage, Jiang Qiao finally felt a little pressure.
The name of the second-to-last Chosen One is Thorn the Eternal.
Is there a prefix
Jiang Qiao immediately became alert when he saw his name. NPCs with prefixes are not simple NPCs. Just like those chosen by God, they are all... NPCs related to God.
This was the first time Jiang Qiao had seen the prefix "Eternal", but his health was not at all related to that of Eternal.
His health is only 30,000 points, which is even higher than Segman challenged by Jiang Qiao. At this stage, the Holy Spirits can kill him instantly with just an awakening.
But his level was 65, the highest level among the chosen ones that Jiang Qiao had fought so far. At the same time, this guy exuded the kind of personality that said, "That's right! I am the hidden master. If you underestimate me, I will defeat you and then teach you a lot of life lessons, and then accept you as my apprentice!"
He was only wearing a tattered robe, which was worn by a character who had been through many battles and seen a lot of things. In addition, the weapon he held in his hand was a branch...
Jiang Qiao looked at him for three seconds, then was silent for a while and blurted out a sentence.
"I guess you... should be very strong?" Jiang Qiao asked apprehensively.
"Um."
The appearance of the Eternal Thorn is very consistent with the setting of the Far Eastern people in the Holy Spirit. This setting corresponds to the Chinese people in reality, and his apparent age should be around sixty years old.
Jiang Qiao didn’t know if Thorne was his name, or if his surname was Thorne and his given name was En, but no matter what... Jiang Qiao still had to continue his review work.
"Let me ask you a question before we fight. If you beat me, I won't go to your gym to practice swordsmanship, right?" Jiang Qiao asked again nervously.
"This year's God Eater is really an interesting person." He stroked his stubble with his hands and shook his head and said, "I haven't accepted any disciples for many years."
"That's good. There is no talent related to swordsmanship in my talent list."
Jiang Qiao moved his wrist, and the moment Jiang Qiao announced the start of the duel... Jiang Qiao understood in less than three seconds.
The character of Eternal Thorn is so difficult that it's almost like "beat your mother".
The moment the battle started, Thorne rushed straight towards Jiang Qiao. His speed was not fast, at least not like Longzhu, who disappeared in the blink of an eye and then realized he had been hit by hundreds of punches.
Jiang Qiao could capture the speed of his movement. Just when Jiang Qiao thought he could still have a good fight with him, he easily broke through the wall of forbidden troops formed by Jiang Qiao's summoned beasts.
He had predicted almost all the attacks of the twelve summoned beasts, so to outsiders it looked like he was rushing straight towards Jiang Qiao without stopping.
Jiang Qiao instantly retracted his earth spirit, and an earth spirit arm holding a long sword appeared on his left hand, wanting to swing at him, but the branch in Thorne's hand had already hit Jiang Qiao's heart.
There was no feeling of pain, and Jiang Qiao's blood volume dropped at an alarming rate. Each of his attacks was a fatal blow.
It was the first time that Jiang Qiao felt what it was like to be powerless. Although his mind could keep up with his attacking movements, he was unable to withstand the blows from the branch in his hand.
After a confrontation of less than ten seconds, Jiang Qiao realized the difference between a modern otaku and a swordsmanship master.
"It's a bit embarrassing." Jiang Qiao sat down on the floor of the ring with only 20% of his health left. He looked at him and asked, "I guess... you came here to find a stronger opponent?"
"Opponent? No, it's just fun to fight with the followers of the God Eater." Thorne glanced at the burn marks on his hands. It was when he was fighting with Jiang Qiao that he deliberately left a flaw, allowing Jiang Qiao's fire spirit to touch him and cause 130 points of damage.
"interesting?"
Jiang Qiao immediately used the reconnaissance technique to search for the entry for his Eternal One.
The Eternals were once allies of the God Eater. This race was extremely rare, and their only characteristic was a blood lock. Even time could not take away their health. The only ones who could punish this blood lock race were... the God Eater and his godhead owners.
"It must be boring to play games with an invincible cheat." Jiang Qiao suddenly said.
Thorn was stunned when he heard Jiang Qiao's words. He did not answer Jiang Qiao...
"Do I pass your test?" Thorne asked.
You have passed my test, but the question is whether other players can pass your test.
"Passed, go to the back and wait." Jiang Qiao directly classified him into the 'beat your horse' difficulty.
