The players dragged the scorched man back to the Scourge base.
These creatures are still called "humans" only because of their human shape. Their appearance has basically nothing to do with humans.
Not even as human as the predators.
"What do you think... what are those crystals growing out of this thing's head? Could they be the crystal energy that the lord needs most?"
Lin Tang's words made several teammates shake their heads.
"If that's the case... then wouldn't the quest system of this game collapse immediately? A crystal of any attribute can be exchanged for hundreds of experience points and merits. If this scorched man drops a crystal, wouldn't we be rich immediately?"
Lao Bai stopped Lin Tang from daydreaming.
But Lin Tang still insisted: "But it really is similar and the skill of this thing is also related to crystal energy. Anyway, even if it doesn't explode the crystal directly, it is related to this thing."
Xigou: "You will know after breaking it down."
There is no use for them to hold these corpses in their hands. They are not edible like the beast-like mutant creatures, so they can just throw them into the machine.
The peak team contributed more, so they were given some preferential treatment when it came to distribution. Six people were given nine charred human corpses, which could be decomposed into a considerable amount of spoils.
There are players standing in front of the 5 loot generators.
"Huh? This is... the Scorched Man? Holy crap, has the player progressed to the Red City?"
Cheng Shaofeng was the first to notice the player’s gains, and walked over with interest, wanting to see what could come out of it.
Buzz buzz buzz
Five machines started up at the same time, red lights flashed, the charred bodies of the men disappeared, and conveyor belts rolled out pulling the spoils.
Electronic components (materials)
Common materials in the Scourge Base, maybe you can hand them over to the Overlord in exchange for rewards.
The first thing that came out was the electronic components that were in short supply at the base.
And players were surprised to find that every Scorch's loot contained electronic components.
Fox: "Regular drops... I remember the store gave unlimited drops, and each electronic component gave 100 iron coins, which was not bad."
In addition, there are other special loot.
Among them, several polished jadeite pieces were revealed.
Polished jadeite (inlay)
For all equipment
Quality: High quality
Strength +1
Agility +1
Intelligence +1
What’s interesting is that the same dropped item has different colors in everyone’s hands, just like the colorful crystals growing on the charred man’s body.
Lao Bai: "Great stuff! Increasing the three measurements is exactly what I need!"
The whirlwind slash requires him to get close to release it, so he must be able to resist it. The higher the health, the better.
Likewise, agility increases attack frequency, intelligence increases energy limit and energy recovery, and can also slightly increase the fire damage of Whirlwind.
If Lao Bai wants to reach the pinnacle of this skill, he needs very high attributes!
This inlay is a particularly great improvement for him.
For standard barbarian players like Xigou, the intelligence attribute is basically useless.
If I have to say it's useful... maybe the increased 8 health points are not bad.
This kind of inlay is not unique to the peak team. As the decomposition progresses, many other players also reveal it.
Riben Guizi: "We, the Inquisitors, need Agility to improve our hit rate, and Intelligence to improve the energy damage of our skills. Strength to increase our load and life limit is also good. I will just fill up this inlay!"
The Inquisitor profession is also relatively suitable.
The necromancer class is a little bit worse, the summoner class does not require agility and intelligence, and the magic output does not require strength and agility.
Xigou: "Wait, Lao Bai, I will buy you a batch of polished jadeite..."
Immediately, Xigou and other players directly purchased the shares with RMB.
"200 for a polished jadeite, direct transfer via WeChat, I'll take as much as you have!"
The old white tiger's body trembled.
"Small dog... you... you are so damn handsome!"
"With your temperament, if you come to our gym... you will definitely be in hot water."
"I finally know who those young girls are trying to please by working out their waistline and peachy buttocks..."
As Lao Bai spoke, tears of envy flowed from Lin Tang's mouth.
"Little dog giant you really should..."
Thin Dog: "Fill your equipment with polished jade as well."
Lintang: (°ー°〃)
"You should live a long life, have a lot of money and a lot of guns!"
The dog nodded with satisfaction: "It's comfortable~"
The price of 200 per inlay has attracted many players.
This is 200 yuan in real life, not the kind of chaebol game in some online game novels where hundreds of millions of yuan can be spent at will.
A large portion of these beta test players are ordinary people, including many college students like Ye Shen.
200 yuan can be used to have a nice meal with your girlfriend, buy a nice cup, or maybe go to Crazy Thursday once a month.
Every time Ye Shen goes to Yan Zi for a massage, it only costs 200 yuan.
Immediately, Xigou received 8 polished jades.
"This is the charm of online games, so cool~" Xigou said intoxicatedly.
The other teammates clicked their tongues.
"I will never trust the protagonist again. I only believe in money!"
After the eight bodies of the Peak Team were decomposed, eight electronic components, three polished jades, and several pieces of equipment were found. The quality of the leather jackets dropped by the plunderers was obviously one level higher.
The basic armor and attributes are stronger.
Interestingly, the rings, necklaces, and badges dropped by the Plunderer mostly provide physical damage bonuses and life recovery rate bonuses, while the ones dropped by the Scorched Man mostly provide all damage bonuses and energy recovery rate bonuses.
For example, the ring that Walter White just put on.
Diamond Signet Ring of Abundant Meditation
Quality: High quality
All damage +13%
Health +9%
Energy recovery rate per second +3.3
Required level: 8
A very nice piece of equipment.
It combines tankiness, damage, and recovery into one.
Other players also replaced some of their yellow (high-quality) Predator equipment.
Yaohu analyzed: "I discovered a phenomenon before... The quality of equipment in this game is not necessarily the higher the better. Not all rare equipment is stronger than high-quality equipment, and not all epic equipment has higher attributes than rare and high-quality equipment. It still depends on the level and affixes."
The strong and healthy Lao Bai: "Level? Affix?"
Demon Fox: "That's right, didn't you notice that the equipment we got in the Four Mountains had no level restrictions, but after coming to Huo Town, many equipments have level requirements, and the attributes of these equipments... are obviously stronger. This is the first variable: level!"
"With the same quality, high-level equipment will have higher attributes."
"In addition, each piece of equipment has 1-2 affixes. We have seen affixes such as 'Piercing', 'Radiation', 'Guardian', 'Barbarian', etc. Some of them are useful and some are not. For example, before coming to Huo Town, the bonus of the 'Barbarian' affix was unique. It increased the random skill of the profession by 2 levels, and also increased the strength and agility attributes by 1 point each. Both of Xigou's Tang swords were like this. We have already grasped the source of this affix... It is to add the Great Radiant Flower when forging the weapon."
"Looking at Lao Bai's new ring, the two affixes 'Abundant' and 'Meditation' are also very good. The practicality of this equipment has surpassed some of the rare equipment we got in the Four Mountains, and it is more suitable for Lao Bai's construction."
The fox's words made the teammates understand.
Although we are all veteran players, this is the first time we have understood the setting of this game so deeply.
Soon, the corpses were decomposed and most of the players changed their equipment.
The very thin dog suddenly discovered a pattern: "Hey! Did you notice... only humanoid monsters will drop the equipment we wear? For example, the Plunderer and the Scorched Man will drop the clothes, hats, arm armor, pants, shoes, shoulder armor and the like, while those crystal energy creatures will not."
The fox snapped his fingers.
"Bingo~ So our tendency to kill monsters should also be adjusted according to demand. If we need to change equipment, we should kill humanoid monsters. If we need to accumulate energy materials and various offensive inlays, we should kill mutant creatures."
Lin Tang: "The planning of this game is very detailed. The properties of the dropped items will be adjusted according to the characteristics of each monster, making it look like the real thing... Fortunately, we have long understood the logic behind these monsters and faced the code directly."
After everyone had dispersed one wave, the captains of the special forces team and the mentally retarded team gathered again.
Wei Long: "This time the harvest is not bad, but... we have to find a way to sneak into Red City again. The supplies in this city are definitely richer than the drops of these monsters. If it really has not been ruined by humans after the wasteland, it must have wealth that we can't imagine."
Riben Guizi: "So how can we avoid these clever and cunning people? They come right over when they smell the scent, who can resist them?"
Xigou: "Haha~ The smell is actually the easiest to cover up. Brother Cuckold has found some plants that can hide the smell. We can just wipe it. If it is contaminated... we can also buy plastic from the Lord's Store to make some foot covers to isolate it, but... I am thinking about a very important issue."
Xigou's solution was very direct, and the two captains listened with great interest.
Wei Long: "What's the problem?"
Xigou narrowed his eyes and asked: "What do you think of the fighting power of these charred people?"
Riben Guizi: "They are quite powerful, but... their fighting style is a bit simple. Apart from the energy shield and lasing energy, they have almost no other skills. After we engage them in close combat, they can only scratch us and are not too threatening. With the same number... we can almost crush the Scorched People."
Wei Long nodded. His analysis was similar to Riben Guizi's. He felt that he could challenge the Jiaohua people now, get a batch of good equipment and a lot of experience, and also have the opportunity to explore more supplies.
Who can resist the thrill of picking up trash in a big, unexplored city
Xigou smiled: "That's right, but everyone seems to have forgotten one thing... What is the profession of the scorched man we killed? What level is he?"
Speaking of this, Fang Gang from the special forces team's face immediately darkened.
"The cleaner..."
"By the way, the scorched people we killed today were just cleaning the ground. It's normal that their combat effectiveness is low. But the scorched people who chased us that day had weapons on their bodies."
He originally thought that the troops he encountered before were elite troops, so 14 players were killed.
The intensity of the battle this time is normal.
Now that Xigou reminded me, I remembered... the charred man they killed with all their might today was just a low-level cleaner.
Lin Tang said: "The difficulty level of Red City... is definitely not something we can afford to kill at random at this stage. I suggest you wait until you all reach level 10, gain resistance enhancement, and add attribute points and skill points before considering it."
The combat effectiveness of the top team is much stronger than other ordinary players. In the battle just now, 6 people solved nearly half of the monsters, and the other 19 people together killed the other half.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Xigou and Laobai are both extremely powerful physical output devices. The Charred Man (the Cleaner) is not resistant to physical damage.
But the strength of other players... is holding them back.
At this point, the plan to explore the Red City was shelved again, and old players rushed to level 10.
The Red City copy must be taken down.
The new players face different challenges than the old players, and the style of painting is completely different!
It is currently 7 o'clock in the evening in the wasteland, and many old players maintain their previous habits of logging off to eat breakfast and then go to work.
There are also quite a few players who do not need to go to work or school during the day and continue to struggle.
This time period is when new players gain experience the fastest every day, and most people will not miss it.
Why is night the fastest time for new players to gain experience
This starts with a guide released yesterday by the new player 'Drum Washing Machine'.
"The most powerful leveling strategy for new players! (for all professions)"
It analyzes in detail the equipment currently available to new players and lists the strongest leveling skills for all professions.
Among them, the Undead's Skeleton Resurrection, the Inquisitor's Storm Box, and the mysterious Summoning Crows are all listed as the strongest skills for pioneering new areas.
Some players may ask, why is there no barbarian profession
'Drum Washing Machine' gave an explanation: "This profession has the highest upper limit, but it is too difficult to open up new lands. All skills require equipment support. In addition, the characteristics of the profession make Barbarian players very weak in the pollution farms where monsters are most densely spawned! Therefore, it is not recommended for novices to choose this profession. Of course... If there are old players who can guide you, it doesn't matter."
"If you really want to play as a Barbarian... that's not impossible. I'll give you a universal upgrade template for all classes. Just follow it and learn it."
“1. Do the infrastructure task of the base and upgrade it to level 3, and put all the attribute points into strength. Remember! At this level, you can resist the monster's attack a little more and you may die less. The resurrection coins in this game are very expensive, and if you don't have resurrection coins... the death penalty is very severe. If you don't want to keep dying, it's best to put more strength.”
"2. Find a few like-minded players and team up to kill the crystal creatures in the valley west of Huo Town. Prioritize the slow monsters. Don't be impatient. Be patient and you will definitely find them. No matter what method you use, kill them, then decompose the corpses and get one of the Hardened Steel, Cracked Magnet, and Scorching Remains. (PS: They are sometimes sold in the store, and they are about 150 iron coins each. Everyone should brush the store frequently. The iron coins given by the early tasks are enough to buy them.)"
“3. Buy a small pistol at the base and put the inlay on it. At 6pm, go to the lord to rent a treasure-hunting robot for half a day and go to the polluted farm. After nightfall... use the skills of the inlay, such as Ice Spike, Lightning Nova, and Flame Strike, to kill as many phantoms as you want!”
"High basic damage, skills with no CD, plus attribute restraint, even a low-level player like you can completely defeat the Void Spirit!"
"Newbies, come and feel the thrill of a screen full of critical hits with me!"
