Players use props on themselves, or use props on King Slime, thus causing the mutation of King Slime, which can only be one of these two possibilities.
As for which one, Chen Mo prefers the former possibility.
Neither of the two messages about the Mutated Slime King mentioned that there were other players, so it is very likely that other players used some kind of props in the distance, which led to the Mutated Slime King.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the two people who sent the message deliberately concealed the important clue of the mutation condition.
But no matter which possibility, the props that caused King Slime to mutate must be obtained from Novice Village and surrounding areas.
This item is not very common, and it is difficult to obtain. Players can actively use it. The description of the item should have nothing to do with King Slime. Making King Slime mutate is only a hidden property of the item.
There are not too many props in the entire Novice Village. With these conditions, we can eliminate them one by one. Even if we can't immediately find out which props it is, we can still rule out most of them.
There are three types of props obtained from the Novice Village, which can only be dropped from killing monsters, bought in stores, and rewarded by missions.
Chen Mo walked around the small town of Ayer for the props bought in the store, and immediately ruled them out.
In the small town of Ayer, there are very few items sold in the store, only the novice weapons, novice HP, MP potions given by the system, and some messy quest items. For example, fishing rods, shovels, hoes, etc., are needed in some tasks.
The rest are props dropped by killing monsters and props rewarded by missions.
There are a lot of props dropped by killing monsters. Chen Mo knows that he will not be able to figure it out for a while, but it is the props rewarded by missions. If you check it on the forum, you will know 90% of it.
The game has been open for more than a day. There are already various strategies for the tasks of Novice Village on the game forum, and the task process and task rewards are clearly written.
Going to the forum, Chen Mo looked at the tasks one by one.
He only did some of the tasks in the Novice Village, and the latter was just a skill task of the Crossbow of Slight Poison.
"From a comprehensive point of view, the most likely ones are 'braised dolphin fish', 'expired spirits', 'corroded apples', 'attractive poison', and 'abandoned dog food'."
Chen Mo finally locked five kinds of props that can only be obtained through missions.
Braised porcupine fish, a cook in the small town of Ayer, will ask players to ask for a porcupine fish. To get a porcupine fish, players need to go to the grocery store to buy a fishing rod and go fishing in a river outside the town to catch a porcupine fish. fish.
The chance of the player catching porcupine fish is very low. It will take a lot of time to complete this task. After completing the task, the player will be able to get 10 pieces of "braised porcupine fish" from the cook.
The effect of braised porcupine fish is to increase the player's overall attributes for 10 minutes after eating. However, due to the toxicity of porcupine fish, the player will drop 5 points of blood every second during this ten minutes.
It is not easy to complete this task. It takes at least half an hour to catch dolphins. Half an hour is exchanged for 100 minutes to increase all attributes by 10 points, and the props that will continue to bleed. The gain outweighs the gain, so I know how to reward Most of the players are not interested in this task. There are not many braised dolphins in the game, and the props are poisonous, which will cause King Slime to mutate, which is very likely.
The expired spirits were obtained by completing a commission from an alcoholic in the small town of Ayer. The effect of the expired spirits was to instantly restore the player's 300 MP points, but within ten minutes after that, the player could no longer use the MP recovery potion.
Corrupted apples can be obtained when the orchard owner outside the town accepts the task of clearing the orchard weeds. Corroded apples are not the props obtained at the end of the mission, but when cleaning weeds, there is a chance to pick up special props such as corroded apples, which cannot be found anywhere else. This thing has the double effect of restoring HP and MP, but after eating it, the player's strength and intelligence will drop by 10 points at the same time. Like braised dolphin fish, it has negative effects.
Corroded apples have a chance to appear, not all players who have accepted the orchard cleaning can get it, so naturally they are included in Chen Mo's candidate list.
Then there's 'Inviting Poison' and 'Discarded Dog Food'.
The tempting poison is actually a quest item. Many mice appeared in the basement of a resident in the small town of Ayer. After accepting the quest, the player can obtain the tempting poison through the quest, and use the tempting poison in the basement to kill them. Mouse, mission accomplished.
However, the attractive poison is not limited to use in the mission location. Some players have tried to use it in other places, and it can be used, but the effect of the poison has no effect on other monsters.
But does it work against King Slime? That player hasn't tried it, Chen Mo certainly won't miss this kind of thing.
Then there's the discarded dog food.
The origin of this thing is very strange.
There is a resident in the small town of Ayer who wants to dig a well. After accepting the task, the player goes to the grocery store to buy a shovel. During the process of digging the well, there is a small chance of getting discarded dog food.
What is the use of this thing, so far no one knows.
But when Chen Mo saw the discarded dog food, he knew that it was probably used to distract the hunting dog guarding the mayor's house.
However, it is not easy to get dog food, and the chance of appearing is less than 1%.
Chen Mo took the time to investigate the props dropped by the monsters in Xinshou Village.
I thought it was very complicated, but after a little research, Chen Mo ruled out most of the items dropped by monsters.
The reason is simple, the props dropped by monsters, almost all of which players can use are potions, and the remaining equipment and materials cannot be used directly by players.
Of course, many monster materials can be exchanged for props that players can use through quests, but Chen Mo has excluded the props obtained from these quests.
So, next, he can use those props that are suspected to be able to mutate King Slime to confirm.
However, it is not easy to get these props. If he gets them one by one by himself, he may not get them all in half a day, which is a waste of time.
And after confirming King Slime's mutation conditions, he had to purchase a pair of top-quality shoes with an upper limit of transfer speed.
All of these require money. Chen Mo has also saved five silver coins when he reached the tenth level, but it is absolutely impossible to buy so many things.
After thinking about it, Chen Mo decided to post a paid post to earn some extra money!
"Makes you stronger - revealing the secrets of the free skill system!"
A few minutes later, a pay-to-view post appeared on the forum.
The free skill system, sooner or later, is no secret. He must not be the only one who knows the existence of this system. However, other players have not made it public, and they may have their own ideas.
Chen Mo is actually unwilling to disclose this system too early, because the free skill system is like a key. After players know about it, some people will definitely be inspired, and people will also know that the holographic virtual network is more important than they imagined. powerful.
However, in order to obtain start-up funds, Chen Mo thought about it and announced it.
In case this entrustment fails, at least he will not lose money.
After posting the post, Chen Mo felt hungry after being online for such a long time, so he went offline to get some food and drink.
After eating and drinking enough, Chen Mo went back to the forum, wanting to see how much income this post brought him.
"What's going on? Only over 10,000 people paid to watch it?"
It has been almost half an hour since Chen Mo left the forum. After half an hour, Chen Mo thought that at least a hundred or two hundred thousand people paid to watch it. Unexpectedly, only a poor 10,000 people paid in the end.
Chen Mo quickly found out the reason.
"Tuhao Club, decrypt the free skill system for you for free!"
A few minutes after he posted the post, a guy named "Nine Brothers" posted such a post.
"Damn! Your sister's dead rich club!"
Chen Mo quickly glanced at the content of the post, and couldn't help cursing.
This time, he was mercilessly cheated by this wealthy club!
