Cook the beans.
The yellow beans were rolling in the small iron pot, emitting a hint of fragrance.
The three players found it very novel and praised the object combustion engine in the game.
Boiled beans with some salt produced in Yanjing Town provided lunch for four people.
Cheng Shaofeng took the three players to look at the specialty machines of the Scourge Base.
"This is the core functional equipment of our Scourge Base, the loot generator. It can decompose all organisms containing energy to produce materials for you to use. This will be your main source of equipment at this stage. By the way... If you obtain a skill seal, you must hand it in to the base. I will reward you with generous merit points based on the rarity of the seal."
"This is an attribute conversion tower. It can identify any valuable item and display its exact value..."
"The last one is a clone manufacturing chamber. Our Scourge soldiers have immortal souls. As long as they have clone bodies, they can keep fighting... This is the machine that made your bodies. Every time you die, I need to mobilize the base's resources to rebuild your bodies...
It's unfortunate! We are now extremely short of supplies, and each clone body is very precious. I will not allow any waste of life to occur! For soldiers who have wasted their bodies for no reason many times, I will seal their souls forever in the depths of the base, and they will never be able to wake up again..."
The three of them were suddenly shocked!
Xigou whispered, "NPCs in this game can be banned? Is that true?"
Lin Tang: "If you don't believe me, go and give him a kick and see if it has any effect?"
The corner of the dog's mouth twitched slightly: "I'm not stupid..."
Ghost-faced Fox: "It seems that the death penalty in this game is quite severe... I'll ask the NPC if there is any way to avoid the penalty later?"
Cheng Shaofeng ignored the three players who were whispering in front of him, and continued to speak like an NPC:
"But...if you can find the biological materials, electronic components and energy needed to revive your body in advance, I can still forgive your stupidity."
At this moment, the three people's watches flashed again.
Mission: Collect a clone's materials for yourself
Requirements: biological raw material*1, electronic component*1, energy material: several
Only soldiers who are prepared for death are qualified to die. Resurrection is a luxury...
Completion reward: 100 merits
Cheng Shaofeng now has nothing but a few dozen kilograms of beans, so he can only give players merit points as rewards...
Fortunately, these three players seem to buy into this.
After finishing the task, Cheng Shaofeng stood on the hillside and looked down.
"The predators are very difficult enemies. It will be difficult to defeat them with your current strength... When you encounter them, you must focus on saving your life. You can first hunt some mutant creatures to gain experience and biological materials, and also replenish some food for our base."
"If you have any questions, you can ask our base's artificial intelligence butler Zero. It is on the display screens of the three machines... Okay, soldiers, take the weapons I prepared for you and do your own things!"
After Cheng Shaofeng finished speaking, he stood there and maintained his pose.
The other three looked at each other and left the hillside.
Cheng Shaofeng placed the three machines in the only small cave on the mountain. He used to lie in it when he came here to take shelter from the rain or avoid being chased.
The cave is very small, and after placing 3 machines, there is no room for anyone to sleep.
There are 3 weapons placed in front of the 3 machines.
One long weapon and two short weapons.
The long weapon was the rusty mace that Xigou had snatched from the looters before.
And those two short weapons, one is a crowbar, and the other... is also a crowbar.
The thin dog was quick-witted and picked up the mace with both hands.
"This is the one I took from the Marauders! I'm going to use this!"
The other two spread their hands and each picked up a crowbar.
The next second, Xigou was stunned: "Huh? This weapon has an attribute panel, which was not there last time... It can also trigger bleeding damage, which is pretty good!"
Lin Tang: "Eh? Why doesn't my crowbar have any properties? Show me yours, little dog... Let me play with it for a bit, I'm not stealing it, how can you... give it to me!"
When Lin Tang and Xi Gou were fighting over the mace.
The fox demon walked to the attribute transformation tower and placed the crowbar on it.
One second later.
A light blue light flashed before the fox's eyes.
Tip: The 'worn crowbar' attribute is visible
The crowbar in his hand has already revealed its properties.
Worn iron crowbar
Quality: Ordinary
Physical Damage: 5~12
Physical attack +10%
The fox demon pressed a button on his watch, and the crowbar's attributes were shared, so that Xigou and Lintang could also see them.
"Eh? Is that so?"
Lin Tang didn't try to grab the mace, but followed suit and went to the attribute transformation tower to identify his crowbar.
"Damn it! The weapon variables are actually worse than Fox's..."
He shares attributes.
Worn iron crowbar
Quality: Ordinary
Physical Damage: 4~12
Physical attack +9%
The lower attack limit and physical attack bonus are both slightly reduced.
The fox looked at his crowbar.
The two were stunned.
Then I looked at the name of the thin dog...
(‧̣̥̇꒪່⍢꒪່)(‧̣̥̇꒪່⍢꒪່)
"Cough cough!" The fox demon coughed twice to break the awkwardness.
"Well... We've seen the weapon attributes. The weapon of the thin dog has the highest attack power and can also cause bleeding damage, but it's a two-handed weapon, which is a bit heavier than our crowbar. Its attack speed and turning speed are definitely not as fast as ours... So in terms of fighting style, it's more appropriate for the thin dog to attack first, and the two of us to assist in attacking and blocking..."
Lin Tang did some calculations.
"That's right... The mace has a 10% chance of dealing 50 points of bleeding damage, which is much more useful than our percentage physical damage bonus... Our basic attack power is too low. My own basic attack power is about 10 points, and my weapon attack power is 5-12. The 10% physical damage bonus is only 2.2 at most, which is of little use."
"From the data to reality... our crowbars are just harder, so they hurt more when they hit people."
After the three of them understood for a moment, they took a look at what else could be used in the base.
I saw a palm-sized square seal placed on the loot generator.
"Eh? Is this... the skill seal that NCP mentioned? The one that can be used to learn skills?"
"That's right."
Zero's voice came from the colorful display of the loot generator.
"The skills are as follows..."
A blue panel appeared in front of the three people at the same time.
Skill Mark: Barbarian Skin
Radiation kills weak people, while strong people can absorb the power of radiation to strengthen themselves and give their skin more outstanding defense.
Passive Skills
0/12th level
Next level: 1
+3% Health
+4% physical resistance
+5% Radiation Resistance
Applicable occupation: Barbarian
Barbarian Professional Mastery Points Required: 1
Zero: "But unfortunately you can't learn it for now. You need to reach level 2 to gain skill points, and then use the skill points to learn skills."
Xigou: "Oh... Well, you can gain experience points by killing monsters and enemies, right? I know this. When I killed that plunderer, I got 12 experience points. I still have 488 experience points left to level up."
Zero: "Remind all soldiers to contact the Lord regularly and back up your body data, so that when you create a clone, your body state at the time of the backup can be completely restored."
The dog suddenly realized: "Oh... I was wondering why there was no penalty for death. It's because I ran away with the lord after killing the pillager. I must have backed up at that time... It was a close call. I almost lost the experience of a pillager."
Yaohu: "I see... It's a special death penalty mechanism. We have to return to the base regularly. Otherwise, after working hard outside for a long time, once we die, we will start from scratch... The risk is too high."
Lin Tang understood: "If I were a designer, I would definitely set it up like this! This is an open world with no restrictions. If players just run around as soon as they log in and don't follow the main storyline at all, then no one will follow the plot and the subsequent designs will be useless. In the end, the game will become a mess and no one will have a good experience... Sentinel still understands games."
The three left the base and prepared to go down the mountain to find a monster to test the waters.
Zero's voice came from behind: "Please don't challenge an enemy that is too powerful... If a teammate dies, you can retrieve his body and return to the base to recycle a large amount of biological materials and electronic components."
"Okay, thank you!"
After three players carrying weapons came down the mountain.
The thin dog peeked back and said, "I have a way to deal with the predators!"
