A rain makes the world slow down.
Some players, unable to bear the wet feeling, decided not to go out for the remaining hours and just lay in the small shed at the base and chatted.
As for upgrading and stuff... let's talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, we are all internal beta test players, so it's enough if our levels are higher than those in the public beta test.
There are also some diligent players who say it doesn’t matter at all and just go out to look for prey.
Lin Tang: "No way, no way? There are really no lazy people who don't fight monsters to level up, right? This rain is all virtual. No matter how heavy it rains, my body won't get wet. How can a body in the game get sick? It's so funny! Just do your best! I'm not bragging. If beans weren't so cheap, I would just eat shit to survive in the game! Once the taste buds are turned off, it's done!"
Thin dog:
"Then stay away from me when you eat..."
Fox Demon: "Stay away from me..."
Lin Tang: "Hi, hi!"
The top team goes out to look for prey to kill. Don't ask why they don't kill the predators... They're done.
All the ordinary predators in the Four Mountains have been wiped out by the players.
I can only go hunting and picking flowers.
Forgiveness Hat said: "I will continue to collect the tufted flowers and prepare to go to the radiation pit tomorrow."
Suddenly, Riben Guizi said, "How about... let's go fishing! It's a good day to fish on a rainy day. It would be a waste if we don't go fishing on such a nice day!"
Hiroshima Atom: "Huh? But we don't have fishing rods?"
"All you need is a stick and a line. Just make it yourself. Go, go, go, go fishing!"
"Then we need to make a nest, right? What should we use to make it?"
"Look at those two big ants... No one would know if I took a piece of meat from their backs. It's a whole piece!"
"Okay! Let's go!"
Several like-minded players started making tools to go fishing.
The atmosphere this afternoon is particularly relaxed and pleasant.
Uncle Tian was burning a charcoal fire, roasting a piece of venison, and happily sipping the wine he bought from the store.
Although it is not cheap, it is also a unique enjoyment.
"It's awesome~ This is how life should be. Only by entering this game can I avoid having to deal with the mess in life..."
Several players nodded in agreement.
For most people during the day... their time does not belong to themselves, but is lived for others.
Ask yourself, do you really like working for a stupid company and a stupid boss
No way!
It was just a job that could support myself.
They play games, watch TV series, read novels, and browse forums until late at night. Is it because they don’t know the importance of rest
no.
Everyone knows that a good rest will make you feel more energetic the next day.
But... only at night do they truly live for themselves.
The so-called late sleep... is just because I don't want this free time that belongs to me to end too early.
Cheng Shaofeng recovered his energy and then learned all the skills of his new profession.
Dregg's Evil Eye is a single-target attack skill, similar to Bone Spear, but it causes acid damage that can corrode the enemy's body. It is also a skill with no CD. If there is enough energy, it can be used as a long-range spell machine gun.
Cheng Shaofeng learned the first level and felt that it was... average, nothing special.
"Of course... it's possible that players will develop this skill to a certain extreme and make it very powerful, but for me it's just average."
He would not teach this skill to the Shadow Guard either.
Summoning crows is a simple summoning skill, but unlike skeletons, you can only summon one crow no matter what level you are. The crow is an energy body that moves around its owner and can share vision with its owner. It can throw lightning balls to attack, and its power is quite good.
"Crows are good... for scouting and long-range harassment."
In Cheng Shaofeng's opinion, the functionality of this summoned creature is greater than its actual combat role.
He pinched a crow in his hand, and it circled above the Scourge Base, sharing its vision with Cheng Shaofeng's mind.
"Well... energy entities like crows cannot be too far away from people, otherwise they will lose control. This is much worse than the shadow guards."
Of course, it may also be because he has only learned level 1, and more functions can only be unlocked when the skill level is higher.
"Then patrol the surrounding area and act as a scout."
The crows' patrol range covers the hill of the Scourge Base easily.
The mysterious third professional skill: Blood Plague is a contagious skill. Those hit will cause vitality and bleeding damage, and then spread the virus to people around. The higher the level of learning, the higher the duration and damage.
"Even if the level 1 blood plague can be contagious, the damage is still a bit too low... The energy consumption is also high. Maybe it will change qualitatively if the skill level is higher."
The consumption of 33 points of energy discouraged Cheng Shaofeng.
"Unless the enemies appear in large numbers, like today's city defense battle, it should be quite useful. I just don't know if this skill can be stacked..."
Shaking his head, Cheng Shaofeng continued to look at the fourth skill, which he thought was a more useful debuff skill than the previous three skills.
Curse of Weakness
Powerful and relentless spells demoralize enemies, leaving them slow and vulnerable.
Rating: 1/10

Cooldown: 3 seconds
Range: 3 meters
Movement speed -25%
Physical resistance -5%
Bleeding resistance -8%

"A small-area debuff skill. Reducing movement speed is still very useful. Reducing resistance... It's too little, but it's better than nothing."
He had been hit by this skill before. The spell flew very fast, like a net being launched towards him quickly, and it was difficult to dodge.
If Shadow Guard hadn't used Leap Cleave + Windrunner to escape, he would have been left behind.
"If this skill is upgraded to a higher level, it should be quite powerful."
Significantly reduce the opponent's movement speed and slightly reduce resistance.
“Stupid Barbarian players will probably like this...”
After all, as a melee fighter, being able to catch up with people is the key to output.
Leap can help you shorten the distance. If your teammates can cast a weakening curse at this time, they can stick to the enemy and fight him.
The last skill made Cheng Shaofeng gasp.
"It's actually a skill that can only be learned with level 10 mastery points... No wonder that old guy didn't want to hand it over."
If he hadn't just broken through to the first level of evolution, he really wouldn't have been able to learn this skill.
Blood of Dregg
Faith in the great Dreig will grant you a portion of his abilities, and when you are attacked by the enemy, Dreig's poisonous blood will splatter.

Range: 20 meters
Health Regeneration: 10%

"Great skill! A group buff that combines both power enhancement and health recovery!"
"If nothing unexpected happens... this will be the best buff skill the base has ever gotten. It will be really useful in team fights!"
Although the addition to each attribute is not much, it is a lot in total!
"And in a short period of time... I should be the only one who can use this skill. I need to learn a few more levels."
Now these 40 players have upgraded and chosen their own professions, and new professions can only wait for new players to learn.
Cheng Shaofeng released his energy according to the way his skills worked.
Phew~
A green smoke covered all friendly units around, and a healing point floated above everyone's head.
The player who was just injured was also healed by 10% of his maximum health with this energy.
This layer of green smoke remained on them, bringing them attribute blessings.
Among them, the life recovery speed of 8 points per second is the most outstanding!
It is equivalent to equipping 3 pieces of jewelry dropped by the plunderer.
The Crusader Necromancer's eyes suddenly widened when he sensed the energy fluctuations.
"What! How... How is it possible! I only demonstrated it once, and he actually... Is he also a former member of our Christian Church? A believer in the Lord?"
It was hard for him to believe that Cheng Shaofeng had mastered his best skill without any instruction just by watching it once.
The Blood of Dregg was a skill he obtained in a dream after praying devoutly to the Lord for many years.
Even within Christianity, there are only a handful of people who can use it... ... without exception, they are all the Lord's most loyal believers.
"Lord, please tell me what happened..."
After Cheng Shaofeng used several skills, he looked at the store and found that there were still 6 magic wands.
"Hmm? This is good stuff..."
He placed the six staffs on the attribute transformation tower for identification.
Mysterious Staff
Quality: High quality
Intelligence +9%
Energy regeneration per second +2.2
Skill Cooldown -15%
The properties of the other five are roughly the same, and it can be seen that they were probably made by the same person.
"Increase intelligence, increase energy recovery, reduce skill cooldown time... all very suitable for mage professions. It seems that the Crusaders in this Colossus City are all mysterious wizards... interesting."
He picked up a staff, established a connection, and felt that his energy flow was more flexible and he was more adept at releasing various energy skills.
"No wonder all mages have staffs... The attribute blessing is so good."
His original intelligence is 28 points, and an increase of 9% means an intelligence of 2.5.
It can give him a 20-point health limit, a 40-point energy limit, a 0.25/second energy recovery rate, and a 7.5% increase in energy damage.
"A staff gives me 2.5 intelligence points for free, so nice~"
Of course, the most important function of the staff is to help the user quickly recover energy. His own energy recovery speed is only 2.3/second. After equipping the staff, it directly reaches 4.75/second, which doubles.
"No wonder these people can keep releasing skills... They are just relying on their staffs to keep them going."
"Wow! Doesn't this mean that my speed in making explosive ammunition has doubled? This is so cool!"
The more level 10 enchanted bullets he can produce, the higher the player's combat effectiveness.
Especially with the current 40 players, each of them is equipped with a gun. Theoretically speaking, everyone can use his explosive ammunition to deal super high range explosion damage.
"What if I have two?"
He tried to hold the two thick staffs in his hands and stroke them up and down.
I found that I didn’t get the double bonus, so I had to give up.
"It seems that I can only use this one."
At this moment, Cheng Shaofeng was still in a weak state. After making 10 rounds of ammunition, his energy was exhausted and he was ready to take a rest.
Two new life players came over and said with a hint of curiosity and embarrassment: "Lord, can I chat with you for a moment?"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Hmm? What's the matter?"
Every player here was personally selected by Cheng Shaofeng, and he knows their abilities.
The two male players in front of me are both masters of agriculture. One is engaged in seed breeding and the other is engaged in fertilizer. They are farming players.
Cheng Shaofeng gave them the internal testing qualification with the idea of developing farming in the base in the future.
After all... this attribute engraved in the racial genes is difficult to resist.
Now food is imported. What if one day the Colossus and Yellowstone Farm are offended and no one sells food to them? Will the players have to hunt for food
That's such a waste of time... and nowhere near as convenient as beans.
Therefore, it would be better for the disaster base to have a self-sufficient planting system.
certainly!
Cheng Shaofeng would never make enemies with Yellowstone Farm. This neutral force is the largest grain-producing area in Colossus City, and many settlements depend on them for their survival.
He is not stupid. Why would he make things difficult for the grain seller
Cheng Shaofeng didn't believe that their Natural Disaster Base would become enemies with a grain seller.
"It's so funny! It's impossible!"
"Oh, by the way... Now that we have horses, we can ask Wu Jie to take the players to Huangshi Farm to buy some food. This will save us a lot of money."
Cheng Shaofeng thought so, and the two farming players hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
We are all friends, don't worry: "Lord... can our base be relocated?"
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the two players in surprise:
We are all friends, don't mind it: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not just talking nonsense. Since I came online... Oh no! Since I woke up, in addition to completing daily tasks, I have been observing the geographical environment and climate conditions around our base... Then I discovered a very pessimistic fact. Our place is not suitable for farming. If our base wants to develop its own agriculture, we need to relocate the base and find a more suitable area for farming to take root."
After listening to this, Cheng Shaofeng nodded slightly: "Go on."
She said that wearing it doesn't count as a gift: "We have done a lot of research and found that there are not many edible plants in the wasteland... and their growth habits are not yet clear. We need a breeding base to screen and combine seeds. At the same time, we also need to plant beans that we often eat on a large scale to provide a stable food supply for the base. This requires a geographical environment suitable for farming, so we have the idea of relocating the base. Of course... If you think it is not necessary to relocate, then you can also let us find an area, build a simple granary sub-base, and assign some guards."
The two players' analysis is well-reasoned and convincing.
At this time, Cheng Shaofeng also began to examine the geographical environment of the natural disaster base.
'It's not just a question of farming. Is this place... really suitable for future development?'
They were on a hill more than 200 meters high. There was only one way up and down the mountain. If the road was blocked, they would be trapped to death on the mountain.
In fact, if the soldiers of the Colossus City did not launch an attack today, as long as they guarded the road down the mountain, it would be difficult for them to break through the soldiers' defense. The players could only fill it with skeletons and human lives, and then rush out head-on.
But that would be a much greater loss.
"As more and more players come, the capacity of this mountain is not enough. It is already a bit crowded for players to build their own sheds now."
'Perhaps we should consider relocating the base...'
After Cheng Shaofeng figured it out, he nodded to the two farming players and said, "I will consider your suggestions. I will give you two a task... Find a few suitable locations for planting and defense, and then report to me."
She said that if you wear it, it won’t count as a gift: “Great!”
Both players were very happy.
After walking a few meters, 'We are all friends, don't mind' said: "It seems that the lord is quite intelligent, and he is different from the mentally retarded AI that Lao Tian said..."
"Queshi... Apart from his tendency to daydream, there's nothing abnormal about him."
Cheng Shaofeng lay on the recliner and began to think about the future direction of the base.
Relocation... is a matter for the future.
Now... they have to concentrate their efforts on dealing with the looters in the radiation pit, obtaining more radioactive materials, and taking control of the shrine ruins. The current location of the Scourge base is the best for supplies.
"When we've killed most of the raiders... there won't be much experience left in this area, so we'll have to move to another location to give new players room to gain experience."
"Ah~ I'm so tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's time to go to bed today."
Cheng Shaofeng was lying on a recliner. Lao Tian had built a small shelter for him on the top of the mountain and thoughtfully built a fire for him.
"Although Lao Tian is a nagging person, he is still sensible..."
Feeling the drizzle outside, the tired Cheng Shaofeng fell asleep in the warm air.
The shadow guard leaned against Cheng Shaofeng, squatting... in a daze.
As night slowly fell, players went offline one after another.
... ...
The little dog woke up in reality full of energy!
He opened the Tieba forum out of habit, and there were a bunch of private messages and ordinary comments on the Diablo III Tieba... but he no longer had much desire to read them.
I casually replied to a few posts from acquaintances and then went straight to the internal test discussion group.
There are now 41 people in the discussion group.
The players have already started chatting enthusiastically.
Agent Feng: "It was a close call yesterday... I feel like my favorability in the lord's heart has been fluctuating between positive and negative. If we don't hold on, I'm afraid I will be buried with the lord... He died and my account was banned."
Blizzard Polar Bear: "No... Is it really that serious? Brother Bing is here. If he has banned you, can't you just ask Brother Bing to unblock you?"
Loli babbled: "That's right!"
Your Li Bai: "@Sentinel, planner? Can you talk about the specific authority of the lord?"
Cheng Shaofeng summoned the Shadow Guards today, continuously produced explosive ammunition and controlled the Shadow Guards to fight, and he was very tired. He did not come out to quantum surf as usual.
Xigou: "Don't tag me, the soldier might be sleeping. Let's just chat among ourselves. Anyway... be careful and try not to offend the lord in the game."
Fox: "Correct."
Lin Tang: "Hi! Have you seen today's new job skills? My feeling is just one word: coincidence! What's the coincidence? The coincidence is... You will find that although this game emphasizes the real-world experience, it still has a full sense of design when creating the job..."
"Have you noticed that the four professions in the base look familiar? Barbarian - melee, Inquisitor - archer, Necromancer - summoner, and now there's a mysterious one - mage, bringing all the classic four professions of the brush game to life."
Fangirl: "Hiss~ I hadn't noticed it before you said it, but now that you mention it... it really is true!"
Riben Guizi: “6!”
Lin Tang: "What do you think? As a top mod maker, I can see through the planner's tricks at a glance! Hahaha~"
Xigou: "But Mystic's skills are really good, including reconnaissance, debuff, and health recovery buff... Our team needs to train a new Mystic professional player."
Other teams followed suit.
Hiroshima Atom: "When the next wave of new players arrive, let's push a few of them and have them choose mysterious professions to help us!"
Riben Guizi: "Oh right! Since everyone is here, how about answering a wonderful quiz to refresh your mind?"
"If you won 10 million, and your girlfriend got sick and needed 9.99 million for treatment, what would you do?"
