brush!
Zhang Yang ducked down and dodged the monster's attack!
If other players saw this dodging action, they would definitely exclaim "Unbelievable" or "It can be done this way"! In traditional games, whether a character will be hit by a monster is determined by the system based on the character's dodging probability. Even if the player stands still, the attack that should be dodged will still be dodged.
But in Miracle, the player character does not have the attribute of dodging! But this does not mean that the player cannot dodge the attacks of monsters or other players, but the system gives the initiative to the player - the player needs to take the initiative to dodge!
The faster the player's reaction, the higher the success rate of dodging! Of course, reaction alone is not enough, the movement speed must also keep up! The character's movement speed is affected by agility. The higher the agility, the faster the character's movement speed. This is why Zhang Yang wants to allocate attribute points to agility - this is not just to increase the critical hit rate!
At this stage, most players are not used to or are simply unaware of this change. It was not until a few months later that some combat videos of masters were uploaded to the forum, and the concept of active dodging was gradually accepted by players.
Zhang Yang shouted softly and swung the sword in his hand every two seconds. When his anger reached 30, he launched a powerful attack. After nearly half a minute, the undead monster turned into a white light and fell to the ground.
"Ding! You killed the dead villagers and gained 200 experience points!"
"Ding! You picked up 5 copper coins! You picked up 2 pieces of linen!"
There were no quest items, but it didn't matter, I still had to collect a lot of linen anyway, and there was no other player here to grab monsters! For players who wanted to impact the level list, the biggest problem was that there were too many people and too few monsters. Although this tomb was gloomy, it was a holy place for Zhang Yang!
After Zhang Yang collected the spoils, he continued to lure the next monster to kill. In places where there were many monsters, Zhang Yang did not use the skill "Charge" because it was very easy to involve more than two monsters in the battle at the same time. Although he was strong enough to dodge the attacks of seventeen monsters at the same time, for Zhang Yang who did not have any group damage skills at the moment, there was no need to waste his energy!
Although level 4 monsters are slow to kill, they give a lot of experience. After Zhang Yang fought for more than ten minutes, he saw a flash of golden light and reached level 2. He also distributed the five free attribute points in the form of four strength and one agility. He raised his sword and continued to chop monsters.
"Ding! You picked up the weird black box!"
[Strange Black Box] (Quest Item)
Description: It is engraved with complicated magic circles, revealing an evil and ancient atmosphere. Perhaps you should give it to the village elder Old Juan to have a look!
The mission has been completed, but Zhang Yang is reluctant to leave this upgrade holy land. Naturally, he has to hurry up and upgrade before other players discover this place!
One tomb chamber after another was emptied. There were a total of twelve tomb chambers in this catacomb, and there were about seven to eight monsters in each tomb chamber. Zhang Yang was alone, and his speed in killing monsters was far slower than the speed at which the monsters spawned. Usually, after clearing only three tomb chambers, the monsters in the first tomb chamber would start to spawn.
It wasn't until Zhang Yang's body flashed two more golden lights and reached level 4 that a second player found this place. Then, the third and fourth players came over.
By the time Zhang Yang reached level 5, the number of players in the catacombs had exceeded 20, and the monsters could no longer keep up! Zhang Yang was also quite satisfied. Looking around, the players whose names and levels were displayed were no higher than level 3, so he already had a big lead.
As Zhang Yang walked towards the village, he counted the linen he had obtained. There were 20 pieces in each group, and there were 19 groups in total, which was more than half, and the total amount of money reached 18 silver coins.
—In "Miracle", 1 gold coin can be exchanged for 100 silver coins, and 1 silver coin can be exchanged for 100 copper coins, which is the same as most traditional online games.
After handing the strange black box to the village elder, Old Juan, Zhang Yang gained another 3,000 experience points, plus a pair of white quality gloves. The tasks in the village of Shou basically don't give good things. Of course, there are exceptions!
Zhang Yang came to the tailor shop and found the trainee tailor Annie. A yellow exclamation mark flashed above the head of this young NPC, indicating that she had a mission to be issued.
"Young adventurer, I need a lot of linen to improve my sewing skills. I wonder if you can collect some for me?" Anne looked at Zhang Yang shyly, as if she was ashamed of her request. The ultra-realistic characters, as if they have their own intelligence, give people a feeling of a second world, which is also the key to Miracle becoming the greatest game in history.
"Ding! Annie has issued you a task: Generous Gift. Do you accept it?"
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, clicked "Accept" casually, took out a set of linen and handed it over.
"Oh, you are such a kind person! Thank you so much. With these linens, I can definitely improve my skills and become a real master tailor!" Anne said excitedly.
“Ding! You completed the mission: Generous Gift, and gained 5,000 experience points!”
"Young adventurer, to express my gratitude to you, I am willing to sew a cloak for you! Although I can only make a rough wolfskin cloak, it will definitely enhance your strength!" Annie continued, with a yellow exclamation mark still flashing above her head.
"Ding! Annie has issued you a task: Annie's thank you gift, do you want to accept it?"
[Annie's Thank You Gift] (Mission Difficulty: Level D)
Task Description: Your kindness and generosity touched Annie, and she decided to use her skills to make a wolfskin cloak for you! However, first you must collect 10 wolfskins and 40 pieces of linen as materials. After all, "a good cook cannot make porridge without rice", right
Completion: Collect wolf skin 1010 linen 4040
That's why Zhang Yang had to do the "Clear the Wolves" mission first, for the sake of these 10 wolf skins! And he went to the catacombs, on the one hand, for the linen, and on the other hand, because it was relatively uncommon at the beginning, so it was suitable for upgrading!
Both of Annie's tasks will be released after the player reaches level 5. Think about it, if there is no one like Zhang Yang who knows the game well, he would have sold the wolf skin to the NPC long ago? Even if someone kept it, there is a high possibility that there will not be enough!
When they reach level 5 and find Annie to accept the quest, they can only run back to fight wild wolves! With the current terrifying number of players, it is so difficult to snatch monsters in the chaos! Linen cloth is only dropped by humanoid monsters, and the only humanoid monsters in the entire village are "dead villagers"...
Zhang Yang had suffered in his previous life, running around for this task and wasting a lot of time. Fortunately, the server had been open for more than two years at that time, and the village was very empty, so he didn't have to worry about competing with others for monsters.
"Ding! You completed the mission: Annie's Thank You Gift, and gained 5,000 experience points!"
"Ding! You got the wolfskin cloak!"
A cloak shining with black luster also fell into Zhang Yang's backpack as the task was completed. This was the reward given by the task and it was also the first black iron quality equipment that the player could get through the task!
[Wolfskin Cloak] (Black Iron, Cloak)
Stamina: +2
Strength: +1
Agility: +1
Required level: 5
Note: "It's obvious that the tailor who made this cape was a handyman, with tattered patches everywhere! Is this cape really reliable?"
Equipment with yellow annotations usually has a history, like this wolfskin cloak, the game developers made a joke of it.
Zhang Yang looked at Annie again, and the shy girl's head was replaced by a blue exclamation mark. In the game, a blue exclamation mark means that the task issued by this NPC can be completed repeatedly.
"Young adventurer, I still need a lot of linen to improve my skills. Can you help me?"
Zhang Yang took out the linen from his backpack and handed it to Annie one group at a time.
“Ding! You completed the mission: Generous Gift (repeatable), and gained 5,000 experience points!”
“Ding! You completed the mission: Generous Gift (repeatable), and gained 5,000 experience points!”
"Ding! You..."
Amid a series of system prompts, when Zhang Yang handed in the twelfth set of linen, a golden light suddenly flashed on his body and he was upgraded to level 6. At this time, the blue exclamation mark above Annie's head also disappeared - this is a repeatable task that players can only receive when they are at level 5.
In less than half a minute, Zhang Yang leveled up like a plane. At this time, mainstream players were still struggling at level 2-3. Even those with good luck could only reach level 4 at most! There was nothing they could do. There were so many monsters, and no one could grab them.
Without stopping, Zhang Yang left the tailor shop, came to the village hall, and found Farian, the warrior professional trainer.
"How pathetic! As a shield warrior, you don't even have a shield. You really make me feel ashamed!" The uncle, who looked to be in his early thirties, said to Zhang Yang with great contempt, and he almost spit on the ground to emphasize his point.
No matter who reaches level 5 and finds a professional trainer, they will be mercilessly ridiculed. For example, if a violent warrior comes to him, the uncle will say: "How pathetic! Born as a violent warrior, you actually hold a broken weapon. Do you want to be a woodcutter?"
Because at this time the player will receive the first professional mission, and the reward is a weapon exclusive to this profession, which is of black iron quality!
"God of War, you must be tested, and I will consider whether to continue teaching you!" Uncle Farian still had a look of disdain on his face, and threw a piece of paper over, "Rookie, go and complete the requirements on this, otherwise, never come back to see me again!"
"Ding! You have accepted the mission: Warrior's Test! This mission is a professional mission, you must accept it and cannot delete it!"
[Warrior's Test] (Mission Difficulty: C Level)
Mission Description: Complete Farian's instructions! Rookie, become a real warrior!
Completion: Collect 3200 iron ore
Next, it all depends on luck! You can mine and collect iron ore yourself, or you can buy it from other players. The difficulty of the task lies in the time it takes to collect 200 pieces of iron ore!
This is definitely a setting that angers the heavens and the people. How much time will be wasted on this? As a result, the game company made adjustments soon after, reducing the iron ore requirement to 20.
But it was impossible for Zhang Yang to just sit and wait for such a change. With so much time, he could have already reached level 10 or 20!
What's more, this task may also trigger a hidden task for the warrior profession!
