Su Mo subconsciously stepped back quickly and released the Wind Eagle with a casual move.
The surrounding environment became quieter, and there was no one in sight. The assassin had completely turned invisible. Su Mo rarely saw assassins in the novice area. This profession belonged to the Fengtingshan faction. The weapons were short swords and double knives. They were high-attack physical professions. Especially the assassin's talent of invisibility had always been the natural enemy of the magic profession.
"Brother?! Are you stuck?" Hong Guoguo didn't hear the voice and suddenly became nervous: "Go back to the city quickly, it's very dangerous outside Sunset City."
Su Mo: "It's too late."
There was a flash of swords and sabers, and another knife came towards him.
Su Mo had been waiting for a long time, and at the moment when the knife flashed, he asked Feng Ying, who had been waiting for a long time beside him, to use a group slowdown move. The slowdown hit the assassin, but did not hinder the opponent's steps at all.
Oops! Su Mo retreated with Xiao Qing Kung, narrowly avoiding the attack and creating a distance of several meters between him and the assassin.
Assassins have always been high-attack professions, and the chances of triggering defense and dodge are not high. There is only one reason why the Wind Eagle did not cause slowdown at such a close distance.
The other party's level is higher than his.
The assassin didn't expect that this attack didn't kill the summoner, so he simply gave up on his invisibility and went straight to the summoner for close combat. But just as he approached, the summoner actually summoned two more summoned beasts. He laughed inwardly, thinking that this level 58 summoner was really not afraid of death. He resisted even though he couldn't control him.
The assassin simply pushed forward despite the attack of the summoned beast. Just as he was about to approach the summoner, his vision suddenly went dark and he was slapped hard by something. His movements slowed down, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was actually a rabbit.
"Fuck!" the assassin cursed and rushed forward, intending to kill the summoner in one go.
After a few rounds, he suddenly realized that he couldn't get close to the summoner.
In addition to the rabbit, the summoner summoned several summoned beasts in a short period of time, blocking his way one after another. When he killed one summoned beast, another summoned beast attacked him. The summoning speed was outrageous. There was a 12-level difference between the two of them, and the summoner's attack ability was lower than his. The damage he dealt to him was like a tickle, but after these waves of attacks, he was actually worn down by half of his health.
The summoner was still standing in the distance with half of his health left by his sneak attack, and he was still alive.
He had no choice but to take a few steps back and return to stealth mode.
Su Mo stood in the distance holding the Floating Cloud Lantern. He was not panicked when he saw the assassin was invisible. He chatted with Hong Guoguo, "Is this guy in the same group as Zhu Tian? That's not right. I hid my ID. Did they open their eyes?"
"How can we be in the same group? Brother, didn't you check the forum before you came online? This game has changed." Hong Guoguo teleported to Sunset City and explained to Su Mo while running wildly: "After the Tianzong Tianqi mission ended, the game entered a new maintenance and created a faction system."
"Faction system?" Su Mo was wary of the invisible assassin and asked, "It wasn't there before?"
"No, the main brain randomly divided the players into two camps, Xuanyang and Youming, and re-divided the war zones in the advanced maps above level 40." Hong Guoguo said, "It's very dangerous in the wild now. Killing players from the other camp will earn you points, which can be exchanged for advanced equipment. Recently, the killing in the wild has been crazy! Especially the assassins, they are ridiculously strong!"
Hong Guoguo: "Hold on, I'll come save you right away."
Su Mo glanced at the camp and realized that he was in the Netherworld Camp. "The other side is an assassin. Don't come and die."
Hong Guoguo: "...Brother, you have to believe that I can take you away."
Su Mo paid attention to the small map: "Really?"
At this moment, the invisible assassin seized the opportunity, and seeing that Su Mo was standing still, he rushed up and made another move.
Su Mo barely dodged it and took a few more attacks, reducing the assassin's health further.
The assassin was obviously getting impatient, and was trying desperately to get close to him.
Su Mo watched the assassin's health drop to 15% and was thinking about how to take the assassin away.
Suddenly, a sword light fell in front of him and hit the assassin directly, taking the assassin away in almost no time.
A magic swordsman from the Lishan Sword Sect successfully killed the assassin and landed in front of Su Mo: "Don't leave your trumpet in the wild, don't give points to the Xuanyang camp."
Su Mo, who was suddenly robbed of his life, withdrew his lamp stick expressionlessly: "Oh."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw the swordsman standing three meters in front of him being hit by a beam of light coming from nowhere, and he turned into a corpse lying in front of him.
The process was very fast, and the person was gone in just a few seconds.
Su Mo was silent for a while, then said, "You gave away one point."
The swordsman lying dead on the ground: "... You don't have to say it."
The pace of the outdoor battle was extremely fast. The swordsman killed the assassin, and then was killed instantly by the enemy in the dark.
Su Mo did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He took a few steps back and kept an eye on the small map. He found a hostile red dot about 20 meters away from him.
The red dot didn't move, and he felt something was wrong. Just as he walked to the side, an arrow shot past his feet.
"That was a close call." Su Mo's eyes darkened. The distance just now was only about 0.2 meters apart, which means that according to the original estimate, he should have been within the opponent's shooting range.
Moreover, the opponent's shooting range is so long that it can only be from the Fengting Mountain shooter who has the longest range in the world.
This is not good... In this situation, his level 58 is a hot commodity outside Sunset City, and the players of the Xuanyang camp who pass by will not let him go. It is even more difficult to meet a shooter profession, because the opponent has the advantage of kiting, and there are too many opportunities to take the initiative.
Su Mo was considering which direction would be safer to escape to, when the shooter in the distance suddenly gave up his distance advantage and approached him directly.
The man was wearing a set of fine armor unique to Fengting Mountain, with a bow and arrow in his hand tempered with flowing light. He was standing on a high rock, looking down at him condescendingly.
Su Mo was caught off guard. When he saw the archer raising his bow, he secretly thought that things were not good. The archer's attack was definitely extraordinary as he could kill the magic swordsman with one arrow.
If he was at a higher level and full health, he could still fight this shooter, but now he has little health and is at a low level, and he hasn't even learned all his skills. At such a close distance, the shooter's range will be even wider...
3 seconds, no, he had almost nowhere to escape.
At this moment, the archer caught a glimpse of the Spirit Rabbit at the summoner's feet, and his hand holding the bow suddenly stopped.
He did not attack, but just stood on a high place and looked at Su Mo.
"…?"
Su Mo paused slightly, took advantage of these few seconds to quickly increase the distance, and ran towards Sunset City without looking back.
The other party did not hide his ID. Before leaving, Su Mo saw the shooter's ID.
—Return to the true nature and simplicity.
"Brother Zhen, have you finished clearing Sunset City?" Erwanwu shouted in the voice channel: "Let's change the map and go. We need to level up today."
"How many more pictures are there?"
"The points are a little short." Erwanwu: "I guess I have to go through two maps, and then take on a demon dungeon after that."
The opponent seemed to have just come online, and was somewhat unfamiliar and flustered on the wild map.
Yu Zhen watched the summoner walk further and further away and said, "Wait five minutes, I'll be there soon."
-*
You have entered Sunset City.
The escape went unexpectedly smoothly. Su Mo returned all the way to Sunset City and met Hong Guoguo who was running out of the city breathlessly.
Hong Guoguo was stunned when she saw him, "You scared me to death, I thought I was going to go outside the city to collect your body."
Su Mo: “It’s not that exaggerated.”
While talking to Hong Guoguo, he was downloading the latest update announcements and system information in the game.
I was only in the hospital for a few days, and the game has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. The experience required to upgrade from level 70 to level 80 is simply a huge gap, which is incomparable to the original experience requirements. The current highest level is level 72, and most people are still at the original level 70 without any changes. A lot of new materials and new news have also been updated.
Apart from this, the biggest change should be the camp system. Originally, there was no distinction between camps in the game Xianhuan, and the wild areas were fought over by gangs. But after the camp system was divided, things became completely different.
First of all, this camp is divided into Xuanyang and Youming, which is a forced division based on the situation of all players when Zong Tianqi is unblocked. In most cases, players from the same team, the same guild, and with high intimacy will be divided into one camp. A small number are professional rankings. Tianhuan divides all high-level players according to their strength levels based on the rankings, and divides the strength of the two camps evenly, so it can be said that they are evenly matched.
At the same time as the camps were divided, various monster copies were refreshed in various parts of Tianhuan.
The difficulty of the demon copy is greater than that of the ordinary copy, and you can also earn points by clearing the demon copy.
Su Mo suddenly realized: "This should be the demon seal, the main brain is quite interesting."
Hong Guoguo sighed and said, "It's totally unreasonable, but fortunately the division is limited. As long as you don't go to the war zone, it should be fine. The original neutral players have also been divided into camps, but they can go to the Tianhuan Monument to apply for a neutral order. After applying, they will be protected and cannot be attacked. However, applying for a neutral order will almost give up all competitive high-reward gameplay, unless you create a new account."
"Everyone has their own trade-offs. If you enjoy the protection, you won't be able to get high-reward anecdotes. It's not much different from before." Su Mo glanced at Hong Guoguo: "Are you also from the Netherworld?"
"Why do you look so hopeful that I'm Xuan Yang's?" Hong Guoguo said, "All four of us are. Maybe we were in the same team when the judgment was made. The ones suffering the most now are the low-level players like us. The monster dungeons are too difficult. We are tanks when we go out in the wild. Everyone is chasing us and killing us. We can only play ordinary dungeons in safe areas to level up."
The division of regions this time basically made a new adjustment to the original size of the game guilds. Some had turned against each other, some had torn each other apart, some had loved and killed each other, and some had reconciled... In short, the entire game not only did not lose players due to this wave of official operations, but it also aroused the players' determination to unite against the main brain.
The same thing happened to Zhutian's group. Their gang was assigned to Xuanyang, and on the day they were divided into camps, they were ambushed in the wild and suffered heavy losses.
Hong Guoguo asked: "Brother, what are you going to do now? Are you going to level up? Are you in need of a bound healer?"
"Don't you have a big account?" Su Mo looked at the leaderboard and paused for a moment when he saw the top player.
Because the top player is called 'Guizhen Fanpu', the same name as the shooter he just met on the road.
Hong Guoguo: "My account is a handicraft. Didn't I clear the Fog Sea Realm this time? I got a good skill and plan to play with account 14 as my main account. You can play with me. I have all the lucky equipment and your average luck value is high. Together we can get the materials and make a fortune."
"No hurry." Su Mo closed the profile page, "I'll go back to the sect's base to learn some skills first."
He paused for a moment and said, "You said your business is handmade? Can you make money from handmade work?"
"It depends on luck. It's no problem to get a high value." Hong Guoguo suddenly remembered something, "Brother, are you going to make a weapon? I'll give you one. My warehouse is full of lamp sticks! There are summoners' ones!"
Su Mo chuckled: "So generous?"
Hong Guoguo did not hide it: "This is called early stage investment. You can get meat by following me."
Su Mo: "You don't need to send me a lamp stick. Just tell me how to learn."
Main cities like Sunset City have teleports to the sect's headquarters. Su Mo went there to learn skills and soon followed Hong Guoguo to the main city's life and occupation area. Tianhuan's life occupations are mainly divided into two types, one is the alchemist and the other is the weapon refiner.
Alchemists can make medicines, restore health and stamina for mages, and can also make resurrection charms.
A weapon refiner makes equipment. He can make weapons as well as soft armor and fine armor.
"Just these two?" Su Mo looked around and found that they were all NPCs related to these two life professions. He just looked around and found that there was a small alley on the other side, and a fortune teller was sitting at the door.
"Both professions make money. The threshold for becoming an alchemist is lower, but becoming an equipment refiner requires an initial investment. However, it still depends on whether the things you make can have high values. This life profession has something to do with luck and mental strength, and the production process requires a high degree of concentration..." Hong Guoguo suddenly remembered something when she said this, "Oh yes, there is also a new profession that has just been updated."
Su Mo glanced sideways when he heard this: "Just updated?"
"Yes, this profession is called astrologer, and it is a new profession that only appears after reaching level 80." Hong Guoguo pursed her lips and said, "Look, it's the fortune-telling NPC in front. But we don't have to think about it. It is a special profession. Only players who have experienced the strange stories related to astrologers can be favored by the astrologer guide and be introduced to you."
It is rare to come across strange stories, and encountering astrologer strange stories will eliminate most players.
Astrologer
Su Moweidun: "What do you do? Fortune telling? Stargazing?"
"That's about it. There are only a few hundred people in the forum who have the opportunity to learn this profession now." Hong Guoguo thought for a moment and explained, "When we were fighting in the cave before, didn't Brother Xing take out the illumination scroll? That is the prop that the astrologer can make. The official explanation of this astrologer profession is that it is a sudden enlightenment after observing the stars. In fact, the way to make money is to make props. There are basic recipes, and there are also recipes designed by players themselves."
Su Mo was surprised: "Making money?"
"Of course I'll make money! Huge profits!" Hong Guoguo started to get excited when talking about money. "The Illumination Scroll was originally a reward from NPC quests, but after this update, it became an item that astrologers can make. There are fewer ways to produce it, and the price has increased several times. I must have made a few thousand gold by reselling it. I should have stockpiled more if I had known."
Su Mo's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked towards the fortune teller: "Then let's go and take a look."
Hong Guoguo hurriedly followed him, saying as she walked: "Brother, money is not that easy to make, and it is not that easy to get into the astrologer's door. Besides, this NPC is very fierce. If you make him angry, your luck will drop by several points..."
As soon as he approached, the fortune teller in a gray robe raised his head, his headband fluttering in the wind, and his sharp eyes fell on Su Mo. Hong Guoguo was a little scared and took a few steps back, "You see..."
Fortune teller: "Young man, are you here to learn skills?"
Su Mo responded calmly: "Well, can I learn here?"
"Of course, but..." The fortune teller stroked his long beard, with a look of scrutiny and surprise in his eyes, and asked again: "Do you know Bai Zhi?"
Su Mo paused, "I have seen it."
Baizhi was the strange NPC he met in the Novice Village. The skill of Wanxiang Palace was given by Baizhi.
Hong Guoguo complained in a low voice: "What are you doing? Who is Bai Zhi? Are you guys trying to get the secret code?"
The fortune teller flicked his sleeves and said, "You have her mark on you. Come on, I'll take you in."
Su Mo was not surprised and followed.
Hong Guoguo was confused when she heard this: "Hey wait..."
He had just taken two steps when he was blown far away by a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, Su Mo and the fortune teller disappeared.
"… "
Shit! He's going in already?!
-*
Guided by the fortune teller, you enter a corridor to do the introductory task, which is actually a pre-task guide. It briefly explains the origin of the astrologer's profession. The main function of an astrologer is divination, which is mainly to predict today's fortune and judge the fortune based on good or bad luck. The secondary function is to make props.
Su Mo understood that fortune-telling was his main job and his side job was the one that made money.
After completing the pre-task, you will enter a fantasy world with a star chart as the background through the corridor, where a tall horoscope chart stands high up.
A little girl in a hooded robe came up to Su Mo and asked in a childish voice, "Are you sure you want to join my Astrology Sect?"
Su Mo: “I’m sure.”
The star plate in the sky flashed by, and a life plate fell from the sky and stopped steadily in front of Su Mo.
Congratulations to the player for becoming an astrologer and obtaining the astrologer entry-level props [divination disk x1] [primary astrology disk x3] [intermediate astrology disk x2]
In the voice channel, Hong Guoguo was still asking for details, "Do you know how to complete the pre-tasks? Brother, wait a minute, I'll take a look at the guide, you can't go wrong if you follow the guide..."
"No need." Su Mo replied casually, his eyes resting on the props in the bag.
The divination horoscope is used for divination. It is the same as the Wanxiang Palace, which performs divination once every 24 hours. However, the Wanxiang Palace can obtain skills, while the horoscope can only calculate fortune. He put it aside and clicked on the primary horoscope. A workbench similar to a compass popped up in front of him, with a material library next to it.
He looked at it for a while and found it was not difficult to understand.
The horoscope plate is just a workbench, a disposable prop.
There are two functions. One is the manufacturing function, which allows players to manufacture according to existing recipes. The other is the creative function, which requires players to select materials from the material library provided by the astrology disk for innovative synthesis. The synthesis must be in line with the material characteristics and the balance of game skills, otherwise the synthesis will fail.
The manufacturing function is simple, which is to put the materials in the recipe into synthesis, and there is a chance of failure.
The creation function is a bit difficult. Su Mo scrapped two astrology plates before he understood this material system. In fact, it is to use the material characteristics to write recipes. The formula must conform to the rules of Tianhuan. Once the formula is established, it becomes a unique prop formula and will be recorded in the game library. Astrologers can make props and sell them, or they can export formulas and sell them.
Su Mo had a simple understanding of it. In fact, this thing is a bit similar to optical computer programming, but the formula is replaced with material formula, which is actually the same thing.
Try it a few times, it shouldn't be hard to do.
"I found a guide for you about the astrologer. I don't understand the details, but I heard that the material library is very annoying." Hong Guoguo kept talking while sending the guide to Su Mo, "Take a look... Ah, you're out now?"
Before Hong Guoguo could finish her words, she saw Su Mo had already been teleported out.
"It's just a guidance task, which will only take a few minutes." Su Mo looked at the few remaining astrology plates in his bag and asked, "Are there any astrology plates for sale?"
"Of course there is. There's an NPC over there who can buy it. A primary astrology disk costs 3000 yuan." Hong Guoguo said, "But the life professions that make things all test mental strength. I have A-level mental strength, and I can only make three high-level weapons a day at most. If I make more, I will feel dizzy. I can make more ordinary weapons with recipes, but I can't make much money from them. I heard that astrologers consume more mental strength..."
"Brother, how about we discuss a deal?" Hong Guoguo chuckled, already having a plan: "Do you make lighting scrolls? We can split it 30-70, oh no, 20-80 is also fine... We can sign a store agreement for this, and the cash flow can be checked."
When it comes to doing business, Hong Guoguo talks a lot, from store agreements to sales channels, he talks in a very exaggerated way, just short of selling himself.
While Hong Guoguo was bragging, Su Mo was standing beside him, silently looking at the functional features and rules in the material library.
When Hong Guoguo asked him what he thought when she was thirsty, Su Mo replied slowly.
"Illumination scrolls can be made, but their price will become cheaper as more astrologers come into being, so it can't be used as a long-term plan." Su Mo looked at the material library of the astronomical observatory, and several formulas appeared in his mind. He already had a plan in mind: "What do you think of making a marking prop for anti-stealth assassins?"
The author has something to say: Assassin: Are you polite? ? ?
Assassin's Alliance: Please don't turn personal grudges into professional ones (thank you)
