When you collect 200 iron ores and turn in the task, if you happen to have more than 10 pieces of refined iron in your backpack, you can trigger the hidden task!
Refined iron is a rare associated mineral of iron ore. When collecting iron ore, there is a small chance of collecting refined iron at the same time. How small is this chance? When you are unlucky, even if you dig 1,000 pieces of iron ore, you can't collect a piece of refined iron!
Of course, there are fine iron ore veins, but firstly, the veins are rare, and secondly, they must be guarded by powerful monsters!
Because of such a low probability, this hidden mission of the warrior system has never been triggered by anyone, until the third year of the game's operation. There was a mining maniac who did nothing but mine every time he went online. He stayed in the Novice Village for half a year!
Coincidentally, the profession that person chose happened to be a warrior!
Thus, this player who had more than 100 pieces of refined iron in his backpack successfully triggered this hidden task. After stumbling and finally completing the task, he received an "average" score and received rewards: a skill point and a skill book "Sweep".
Just one skill point is enough to make people jealous, and when he posted the description of the skill sweep to the forum, all the warriors burst into tears!
[Sweep]: Attack all nearby enemies, dealing 100% melee damage to each target. Cost: 20 rage. Cooldown: 10 seconds. Requires: melee weapon.
Such a powerful group damage skill actually fell on a player who mines all day long. What a tragedy!
But players soon thought: Even if it is just an "average" score, you can get such a generous reward, so what if it is a "very good" or even a "perfect" score? How tempting will the reward be? Unfortunately, the hidden tasks are unique, that is, once someone completes it, no one else can complete it!
There are four types of task ratings: extremely poor, average, very good, and perfect. However, only S-level tasks have task ratings.
Zhang Yang went to the alchemy shop first and sold all the sundries in his backpack, which increased his money to 23 silver coins. He clicked on the alchemy shop's product catalog and found the primary healing potion commonly known as the red bottle and the trial poison that was exclusively sold in the Novice Village and was permanently limited to one bottle per person.
[Primary Healing Potion] (white, consumable)
Use: Instantly restore 100 health points.
[Trial Poison] (white, consumable)
Use: Apply to weapons for 60 minutes. After hitting the target, there is a 30% chance that the target will be poisoned, losing 3 health points per second for 15 seconds, with a maximum of 5 layers.
A red bottle costs one silver coin, and a trial poison is even more expensive, costing up to 10 silver coins! Zhang Yang spent money like water, buying 10 bottles of primary healing potions and 1 bottle of trial poison in one go, then left the Novice Village and headed towards the mountains in the north of the village.
He remembered that in a corner of the mountain, there was a refresh point for refined iron ore, which refreshed once an hour, and 2-3 pieces of refined iron could be dug each time! That was the only refresh point for refined iron ore in the Novice Village, and it happened to be in the Black Panther King's lair!
High returns are always associated with high risks!
The road was long, and it took Zhang Yang more than half an hour to reach a valley surrounded by rocks of strange shapes.
At the deepest part of the valley, a vein of ore shining with bright silver luster strongly attracted Zhang Yang's attention. It was the only refined iron ore that would refresh in the Novice Village. But next to this vein of ore, there lay a giant black panther with a completely jet-black body, two people tall and six people long!
This is the most powerful boss in the Novice Village, the King of Black Panthers!
[Black Panther King] (Black Iron Level Leader)
Level: 15
Health: 45000
A daunting amount of blood!
Zhang Yang took out a trial poison and smeared it on the novice sword. The originally rusty iron sword suddenly flashed with a green luster.
Poison is originally exclusive to the thief profession! However, in order to let other players experience the charm of poison, the game developers have limited the supply of trial poison in the Novice Village. Because each person is permanently limited to one bottle, there is no need to worry about affecting the balance of the game.
However, this became the key for Zhang Yang to kill the boss of a higher level!
Zhang Yang adjusted his state and then charged directly towards the Black Panther King.
Charge into coma!
Zhang Yang raised his hand and swung his sword, slashing the Black Panther King.
"-6!"
Due to the huge level pressure and the extremely high defense of the boss monster, even though Zhang Yang had a basic damage of 36-38 points, he only took away a pitiful 6 points of health from the boss! And because the damage was too low, the rage value he got was only 3 points, and even with the extra 10 points of rage from charging, it was still far from enough to launch a powerful attack! …
Besides, even if you can launch a powerful attack, it won’t cause much damage. To kill this high-level, high-armor boss, you can only rely on the power of poison!
Two seconds later, the Black Panther King woke up from his coma, waved his claws angrily, and slashed towards Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang was not in a hurry. He ducked to avoid the monster's attack, then swung his sword and hit the Black Panther King again.
"-8!"
“Ding! Your attack has caused the Black Panther King to be affected by the trial poison (one layer), losing 3 health points per second!”
Poison is spell damage and can only be reduced by magic resistance!
A hint of joy appeared on Zhang Yang's face. Although the probability of this poison taking effect was not very high, as long as one layer was applied, only one more layer would be needed within 15 seconds, and it could be stacked continuously to reach the full effect of five layers!
The attack missed and the enemy in front of him hurt him repeatedly. The Black Panther King became even more angry and stretched out his front paw again, swinging it towards Zhang Yang fiercely.
dodge!
Zhang Yang displayed the demeanor of a master. He constantly dodged the boss's attacks by moving and positioning himself. He also never wasted his own attack opportunities and chopped the boss's body with his novice sword one after another.
"Ding! Your attack has caused the Black Panther King to be affected by the trial poison (second level), losing 6 health points per second!"
"Ding! Your attack..."
Soon, the effect of the trial poison was stacked to five layers, and the Black Panther King's blood loss per second reached 15 points. Although it was ridiculously slow compared to its long blood bar, as long as this state was maintained, after fifty minutes, the boss would finally die from the poison!
Zhang Yang didn't dare to be careless at all! His thin blood volume couldn't withstand the boss's slight attack. As long as he was hit by the boss, he would be finished!
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... forty-five minutes!
The Black Panther King's health dropped to about 10%. This powerful monster suddenly flashed a blood-red light. Its already extremely tall body suddenly grew larger, and its attack speed became faster and more frequent!
This is what players commonly call the berserk state. It is the madness of the monster before it dies. Only a few powerful monsters have the berserk state.
Zhang Yang's nerves were highly concentrated, and he used his sharp motor nerves to the extreme, dodging the attacks of the Black Panther King just right again and again! At this time, the character's movement speed obviously couldn't keep up with his nerve reaction, and only by investing more attribute points in agility could he bring his advantages to the best effect.
From this point of view, Zhang Yang is more suitable to play a thief!
Of course, in the later stages of the game, as the quality of equipment improves, the proportion of free attribute points in the character attributes becomes smaller and smaller, and eventually can be ignored. A good piece of equipment is the best way to improve character attributes!
"-15!"
"-15!"
"-6!"
dodge!
"-15!"
"-15!"
"-7!"
The damage numbers kept jumping above the head of the Black Panther King, and finally brought its health to the bottom. With the last "-15" jump of the poison trial, the Black Panther King suddenly wailed, turned into a ball of white light, and fell to the ground and died.
It was finally over, and Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Nearly an hour of high-intensity combat made him feel quite tired.
"Ding! You killed the Black Panther King and gained 90,000 experience points (double reward for killing a higher level opponent)!"
"Ding! Congratulations, you are the first player to kill a wild Iron-level head. Your glorious deeds will be recorded in history! Do you want to publish your name so that the world can praise your great achievements?"
Zhang Yang was stunned. Since he entered the game too late in his previous life, he had never been able to be the first to kill a boss of any level, so he had never encountered such a thing!
The first reaction is to choose "yes". Isn't it the original intention of every online game player to become famous in the server and become the object of envy and admiration of the majority of players? Moreover, becoming famous is more beneficial for him to create a guild and attract more players.
But he immediately thought that he was currently penniless, with no one around him except Fatty Han who he had not yet contacted! If a big guild "took a fancy" to him and wanted to recruit him, could he say no
Once you refuse the recruitment of the big guild, what awaits you is bound to be endless harassment or even siege!
This is not surprising at all! Zhang Yang clearly remembered that in his previous life, there was a knight tank named "Starlight Infinity" who was quite good. Although he was in a small guild, his dungeon results were enough to challenge all the super guilds! At the beginning, all the super guilds invited Starlight Infinity to switch jobs, but Starlight Infinity had a lot of feelings for his guild and chose to refuse any invitation. …
As a result, Starlight Infinity and his guild were attacked by the three big guilds. In less than ten days, many members were unwilling to be offline and chose to quit the guild. The small guild fell apart. Starlight Infinity was extremely depressed and chose to delete his account and protest on the official forum.
The official response is that "Miracle" does not encourage private fights, so the penalties of demotion and red name are set. If you want to PK, please go to the arena. If you want to kill enemies, please go to the battlefield. There will be no loss of level or equipment. If you want to have personal grudges, you will have to pay the price.
No matter what the official reason is, personal grudges between players will not be entertained!
Zhang Yang not only "plays" the game, but also uses the game to make money and accumulate wealth to the point where he can fight against the Liu family and rival the Lin family. He knows the trend of the game and knows when and what materials are valuable, but this requires a level ahead of the general players to manipulate it. For example, the formula of the most popular primary dark resistance potion at level 20 is opened from a silver-level box!
In order to get this recipe, you must have the strength to get the silver treasure chest! Moreover, you must get it as soon as possible, otherwise, when time passes, few players will need the recipe to make the potion!
Now, he needs an environment that is as undisturbed as possible until he builds a guild and has the strength to say "no"!
Zhang Yang finally chose "No"!
Immediately, the unique red words of server announcements began to pop up in the world channel.
"Server announcement: Player (name hidden) successfully killed the Level 15 Iron-level leader, the Black Panther King (China region). This achievement will be listed on the Glorious Achievements List! Please cheer and praise him!"
"Server Announcement: Player (name hidden) successfully killed the Level 15 Iron-level leader, the Black Panther King (China Region), and received 10 gold coins as a system reward!"
"Server Announcement: Player (name hidden) successfully killed the Level 15 Iron-level leader, the Black Panther King (China region), and his reputation with all races in the alliance increased by 500 points!"
A series of red words flashed across the screen. The effect was absolutely shocking!
"Ding! You got an extra reward: Luck value +1!"
A lucky value was actually awarded! Zhang Yang was a little surprised. Luck is an attribute that cannot be improved through equipment, but it is a very important attribute! For one thing, the luck value affects the monster's drop, and also affects the success rate of strengthening equipment and rune weapons. Of course, there is also the probability of a lucky hit.
Zhang Yang looked at the server notification that was refreshed on the screen five times repeatedly. Even he felt a little dizzy. Then he turned his gaze to the spoils revealed by the Black Panther King.
…
On the other hand, the sudden server announcement immediately made all the players in the Chinese region excited.
"Fuck! I've been killing monsters for a long time and just reached level 5, and someone is killing a level 15 boss?"
"Is this true? He's fighting alone?"
"This server is fucked up. My brother was so busy reading news that he forgot to fight monsters and got killed by them!"
"Damn, he must be using cheats. There's no way a Black Iron level boss could be defeated in a one-on-one fight!"
"Damn GM, come out and see God!"
"Xiaobai, there is no GM in Miracles, only supercomputer monitoring to ensure fairness and justice!"
"Fairness!"
"Fuck justice!"
"Don't worry about it, speed upgrade is king!"
"There are more people than monsters, how can I level up? I'm a mage, but I haven't cast a single spell yet. I just use my staff to cast spells!"
"The guy above, let me shake your hand. Brother priest, you don't even dare to use spells. It takes two seconds to cast a spell, so how can you snatch the monster?"
Soon after, someone posted on the forum that he had found the Black Panther King and found that his HP reached an astonishing 45,000 points. He could deal about 230 points of damage to a level 5 player. Which player could fight him alone? Then he criticized the game company, questioning whether there were any plug-ins or bugs.
Soon, the official responded: In "Miracle", it is absolutely not allowed to use plug-ins, and bugs cannot be completely eliminated, but based on the replay of the game data, the player who first killed the Black Panther King did not take advantage of the bug.
Suddenly, the forum was extremely lively, and everyone was discussing and curious about how the player had killed the Black Panther King!
