The reasons for the formation of polluted farms are unclear.
After the wasteland, humans were finally able to walk on it after 200 years, and they discovered that there were a large number of void spirits hiding there.
This kind of virtual spirit... is not what humans call a ghost that turns into a ghost after death, but a naturally generated virtual spirit.
They have no memories of humans and mostly act on instinct, attacking any living creature that passes by at night.
They pose a great threat to nearby humans because these creatures are not susceptible to physical attacks and firearms are ineffective. Only extraordinary people can deal with them.
PS: Not a strength type.
Powerful and reckless extraordinary people are always at the bottom of the contempt chain wherever they go.
"That's roughly the background, but... the Void Spirits are not all bad. They are good helpers for extraordinary people like us to cultivate our extraordinary abilities and self-control."
"I will now teach you the Void Spirit Cultivation Method created by the Wanderer Extraordinary."
"The Void is a creature whose shape cannot be seen by the naked eye. First, you need to close your eyes to sense it, then... lead the Void into your body, use your will to fight against the Void's illusion, ignite the energy fire in your body to purify the Void, and finally successfully obtain the energy essence of the Void. After burning the energy, a small amount of energy will enter your body, thereby enhancing your abilities."
"The most important thing in this process is... be careful not to attract too many Hollow Spirits. It's best to have the protection of a veteran. If you can't defeat the Hollow Spirits, they can save your life at the critical moment."
A middle-aged wanderer said this to the newcomer while stroking his stubble.
If Cheng Shaofeng were here, he would probably recognize the middle-aged man. He had invited him to join the homeless camp that day.
Later, after he left, a man who had gained extraordinary powers by chance found the middle-aged man and asked to join him for asylum.
The middle-aged wanderer is called Shang Mao.
He is a senior transcendent wanderer, and has now reached the 9th level of transcendence, second only to the 1st level evolver. People here respectfully call him Half-step 1st level.
And because of the special nature of its abilities, its combat effectiveness is extremely high!
He is invincible below level 1, and above level 1... he is completely defeated.
The existence of innate skills makes it difficult to challenge higher-level opponents. One-for-one is impossible, so you can only run faster...
Tonight, he came to teach the newcomer the method of virtual spirit cultivation to help him improve his combat power.
As the saying goes, if you live by the mountain, you eat from the mountain; if you live by the water, you eat from the water. The wanderers rely on polluted farms, so they must find a way to get the energy they need from them.
Crystals are too expensive, and it is not easy to find one that suits your attributes, so you have to rely on your own methods to improve them on a daily basis.
The method of allowing the spirit to enter the body is undoubtedly a great invention.
"Remember, don't go too deep into the polluted farm. Just wait at the edge for a lone Void Spirit to find you..."
With that said, the two walked to a regular waiting point at the pollution farm.
To put it bluntly, it means watching from afar and waiting for the short-sighted ghost to come over and die.
If there are two more virtual spirits, the fragile extraordinary person will die on the spot!
The newcomer nodded, not quite understanding, but the next second, he pointed to a group of people in the north and said, "Master, do you see people over there practicing the Void Spirit Entering Body Technique as well? How dare they go so deep into the hinterland?"
"Haha, how is it possible... What the hell! What the hell is going on!"
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
“Ahh~”
"Wuhu Wuhu~"
The sound of energy explosions, the screams of the spirits, and the celebrations of humans atavistically intertwined together.
There were not only two people waiting at the waiting point here, but also quite a few extraordinary people among the wanderers, and they were all shocked by the noise.
"What the hell? Are you trying to save your life? How many Void Spirits will this attract? If the Void Spirits riot, we will also suffer!"
"No, where do so many extraordinary people come from? There must be 200 of them, right? "
"200 people are nothing! There are more than 20,000 Hollow Spirits. Run away before they are destroyed by the Hollow Spirits. Otherwise, they will come looking for us after the Hollow Spirits devour them... Run away! Don't come to pollute the farm again within 3 days."
"Wait... Don't you realize they seem to be winning all the time?"
Shang Mao used his laser eyes to look over there. The scenery in the distance became clearly visible, and the phantom hidden in the air also appeared.
I saw more than 200 people holding pistols, swords, hammers... and wooden sticks, firing energy shots into the air, ice, lightning, fireballs... accurately hitting the virtual spirits, making them scream.
"It's ridiculous that this wooden stick can shoot fireballs! What peach wood sword!"
His energy is of fire attribute. The first skill he mastered after awakening to be a transcendent was laser eyes, which can increase vision and make him more sensitive to energy bodies. When he uses all his strength, he can shoot energy out of his eyes and give the enemy a surprise attack. It is a very powerful skill.
Relying on his own skills, Shang Mao was very steady in guiding the newcomers to practice the method of entering the body with virtual spirit.
Now, the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong...
The other extraordinary people saw that his expression was becoming increasingly strange and were waiting for his next words.
"Brother Mao, please tell me! What's going on? I'm so worried!"
Shang Mao was shocked when he saw the energy fluctuations floating in the sky and the retreating virtual spirits!
"Hiss~ Heavenly Thunder, Earth Fire, Ice Dragon Thorn! What kind of force is this? They are actually... slaughtering the Void Spirits! So far, no one has been injured or killed."
"Wait! That's... the Crusaders' signature skill, summoning crows. Such powerful lightning crows... And skeletons, lightning storms... Too scary! Is the regular army of the Crusaders no more than this?"
"Everyone, let's stop worrying about our own safety and worry about the number of Void Spirits... They seem to be deliberately killing Void Spirits."
The wandering extraordinary people were collectively shocked after hearing this!
Although the virtual spirit is not strong enough, once it is entangled, it will take a lot of effort to break free.
These people can kill without getting hurt.
"No, I have to go to the Ranger Camp to report to Lord Lan Fu."
Shang Mao left in a hurry with his apprentice.
Other extraordinary people also left one after another, fearing that they would be harmed by this violent crowd.
The players were so immersed in the joy of killing monsters that they couldn't help themselves. In the chaotic scene before their eyes, no one noticed that some people were paying attention to them in a distant obscure place.
Monologue: "It should be said that the strategy for the drum washing machine is really useful! As long as you choose a strong pioneering profession and skills, and then use the three pioneering artifacts, you can kill the Void Spirit without any damage. The more people there are, the less danger there is!"
Abnormal Undead: "Yoshi~ So cool! Look at me, Raikiri!"
Uchiha Dai: "Then I have to use the Fire Style Great Fireball Technique! Puff! Puff! Puff! Duck~ No more mana."
Fart and burst out of the trap: "The supply truck is coming, brothers! Those who don't have blue bottles, go and replenish medicine! Those who have medicine, don't stop firing!"
Behind the players, the hunters from Zhao Village came over shakily, pushing a small cart filled with energy potions.
This was the first batch of phantoms they killed. They asked the Zhaocun foreign aid who had been waiting outside to send them to the Calamity Base to decompose them and then bring back all the blue bottles.
The probability of the Void dropping energy potions is still very high.
Players repeatedly use the skills granted by the three inlays to cause critical damage to the Void. Although there is no CD, the energy is consumed faster than it is restored, so supplies must be guaranteed, otherwise the Void will seize the gap in firepower and break into the players' formation, causing a large number of players to crash.
They have no choice but to advance!
Once the formation is disrupted, it will be difficult to maintain continuous firepower output, and there is a high possibility of accidental injuries when rescuing teammates.
Fortunately, the drum washing machine has already found the follow-up supporting facilities for its own strategy.
He presided over the supply route and promised that the final items would be divided equally after daybreak.
Increase players' combat efficiency to the highest level!
The top team was also mixed in with the many new players and delivering damage.
Their strength is completely overwhelming when dealing with these low-level spirits.
Of course, barbarian professions such as Xigou and Laobai also have to rely on the skills provided by the "Three Artifacts for Land Development" to brush the Void Spirits.
The fox looked at the destructive power brought by the more than 200 new players in front of him and sighed.
"Alas... The newcomers have such a powerful person to lead them. Their leveling efficiency is very high, much better than ours. If we want to maintain our advantage, we have to keep leveling."
After that, he ate a toad leg, which gave himself a 5% experience buff. By also farming Void Spirits, he could gain 5% more experience than new players, which would help him maintain his level advantage.
The new player 'Purple Star' next to him looked at him with envy.
He took out a ball of ethereal essence.
"Hey! Big Fox! Can I trade this for a piece of your meat? Any quality will do, my mana regeneration is almost out of control."
"No, I'll give you one."
The fox demon smiled and gave Purple Star a piece of crystal meat.
This buff of +5 energy recovery per second allows new players to maintain the continuous release of small skills.
"Thank you, Master Demon Fox! I will repay you for your kindness today someday!"
"polite."
The fox demon said that they wanted to maintain their level advantage, but they always helped new players whenever they could.
Several teammates have gotten used to it, and the fox demon even said that he is an upright person who never licks anyone!
Now he is the lord's number one lackey!
Bang!
Lin Tang accurately killed a phantom that was entangled with a new player with an explosive ammunition.
"Wuhu~ Successfully solved one. How dare a little ghost kill our people in front of me? Ask my gun first if it agrees!"
"I have two guns, one is for um! One is for yelling!"
"I beat you guys up!"
Polar Bear held Lin Tang's mouth and said, "Stop talking. It will be against the rules if you continue talking... I vaguely remember how often this word appeared in the two books written by Bin and Bai..."
Lao Bai said quietly: "The same goes for the golden scale..."
"Ahem! Let's not talk about that! Did you find any interesting data?"
Polar Bear brought the conversation back to normal topics.
The six of them came here at night, partly to fight the Void Spirits to level up, and partly to... observe the new players.
What the polar bear is observing is... ... the strength of the summoning crows.
According to their current understanding, there is no such thing as resetting points in this game, and each skill must be carefully considered before adding it, otherwise if you add the wrong points... then your combat power will be far worse than others.
As an elite team, the Peak Squad pays the most attention to the BD of each team member, which must be perfect.
Polar Bear pointed at the crow that was spitting out electric balls crazily in the air and said, "This is a level 8 crow summoned by a level 4 mysterious player. I've been observing it for a while... Without the bonus of other skills, the basic damage is 120~130 lightning damage, and the attack will cause electric shock damage for 2 seconds after hitting, a total of 260+, and the attack frequency is about once every 3 seconds. That is to say, without any other bonus, each electric ball spit out by the level 8 crow will cause 385 effective damage to enemies without lightning resistance."
"The basic damage value of the crow is much higher than that of the level 8 skeleton! And... the most important thing is that the level 8 crow will spray out two electric balls at a time, and the damage can be stacked. If all of them can hit, the damage will be doubled directly to a terrifying 780 points!"
"Of course, this is not the most exaggerated thing. The most exaggerated thing is... the damage calculation of this crow seems to be different from ours and other summons. Its critical hit... is exceptionally strong!"
"Our and Skeleton's normal critical hits deal about 2 times the damage, but this Crow... after hitting a vital point, it deals about 18% more damage, and its lightning balls are also critical hits on Void Spirits! This causes the Crow to kill Void Spirits very quickly! A level 8 Crow can attack with 2 lightning balls at once, directly hitting the Void Spirit's 1700 HP! It kills it instantly!!!"
"What a thief!"
"You see... there is a high rate of mysterious job changes for new players, and that's the reason!"
"We greatly underestimated this skill! Although it can only summon one crow, its single-target strength is much higher than that of a skeleton!"
"Once I have maxed out the Skeleton Resurrection, I will go and change my job to the Mystic Point Crow!"
The polar bear said affirmatively.
Lin Tang: "Speaking of thinness, the African thin dog is a joke. You have to look at my big bear! I saw Big Bear play a few times when we were building together before. It's really thin!"
The polar bear raised his head coolly: "Of course!"
New players can thrive in the polluted farm, and crows play a very important role!
Not only does it have extremely high damage, but because it is a full-energy body, the attacks of the Phantoms have little impact on it. It also has a good field of vision and can share the treasure-hunting robot perspective of its owner, find the Phantoms hidden in the air, and emit precise electric balls.
Hearing the analysis from the people here, the owner of this level 8 crow, "I live for Sakurajima Mai," shook his head.
"Big Xiong, you haven't considered a key point yet."
Polar Bear: "Hmm? What did I miss, Mai-san?"
Mai-san pointed at the crow in the sky and said:
"You forgot that the crow also has a mana bar. When its energy is used up, it can only lie still. After recovering some energy, it will fire another electric ball, and then continue to lie still... ... It's hard to say whose actual DPS output is stronger than that of the skeletons of the same level. After all, except for the Skeleton Mage, there is no energy worry. If it really doesn't work, you can summon a new Skeleton Mage separately, which only needs a 6-minute cooldown. However, our mysterious crows are summoned every 18 minutes, and they are unstoppable. It's hard to resist."
Polar Bear: "Attack gap... Oh, I see. This is indeed an important factor affecting DPS."
He did not take the energy bar of the summoned creature into consideration.
Lin Tang: "No wonder I saw their crows were full of health and re-summoned..."
Xigou: "Powerful attacks consume more energy... This is probably another balance adjustment mechanism by the game planner, it makes sense."
Lao Bai said, "It's not impossible to solve this problem... You see, my battle flag allows us to absorb the enemy's energy in close combat. If the crow is out of mana, let it scratch the enemy. After all, it can fly and is agile. It can interrupt the enemy's spells and replenish energy. After absorbing a wave, just put two electric balls in front of the enemy and hit them with a big critical hit, which will make the opponent stupid!"
Polar Bear: "Hmm... That's an idea, but your battle flag halo has a relatively short coverage range. It's useless beyond 12 meters. As a flying pet, Crow may not be able to receive our halo. We need to adjust our positions in actual combat."
As they chatted about the new schools of thought among the players, they killed the Void Spirits. The speed at which their experience was increasing was quite good, and the level of 'Ordovician Radiation' in the team was rising steadily.
The large amount of energy potions obtained from killing the void spirits were hoarded by everyone. The more of this stuff, the better.
Player's Guidelines: You can't sell medicine no matter what you sell.
The polluted farm at night... the flickering lights of fire, lightning and ice have become a beautiful landscape in Huo Town.
Unnoticed by the players, the three leaders of the Wanderer Camp, Lan Fu, Ling You, and Ma Lishan, were watching the battle.
Ma Lishan: "Fuck! Where the hell do all these extraordinary people come from? So many crows... Are they from the Christian Church?"
Ling You shook his head: "I don't know... I haven't been back to the Christian Church for several years. I don't know any of the new people in the Colossus City. These people don't have strong energy. They don't look like old believers. And... they are so weird. They don't look like orthodox Christian members. Look!"
"The members of the Cross have three basic spells: Summon Crows, Dregg's Evil Eye, and Curse of Weakness. They correspond to the three basic attributes of summoning, attacking, and controlling. The believers who practice the three basic spells well can also have strong practical ability and play a significant role on the front line. However... these three spells are all supported by acid energy. We will all choose the crystal enlightenment with acid attribute, but why is this person who summons crows always throwing fireballs?"
"And the crow's master is throwing lightning arrows and icy spikes. This doesn't make sense! I've never heard of two energies coexisting... Humans can't have two different energies coexisting at the same time! This is common sense!"
Lan Fu nodded: "Indeed... a strange superhuman. And I remember that the crows of your Crusaders didn't seem to be that strong, right? Look... the biggest one killed the Void Spirit in seconds again."
Ling You: "It is possible... It is said that some people who pursue perfection do not learn advanced spells, but study the most basic spells to the extreme. A typical example is summoning crows. Most people can only summon one electric ball, but there is a senior who can make his crow spit out three electric balls. The power is extremely powerful! It is said that the bishop was shocked at the time and sent him to the headquarters for training, where he has the opportunity to meet Lord Dregg!"
Speaking of the five words "Lord Dregg", Ling You's face was full of fanaticism, and it was obvious that he was a loyal religious believer.
Ma Lishan curled his lips: "Then you have not been expelled from the Christian Church..."
Ling You immediately retorted: "I believe in Lord Dregg, what does it have to do with the Crusaders in Colossus City!?"
Lan Fu ignored the two people's chat and watched the players' operations intently. He was very detail-oriented and discovered something very special.
"Look... there seems to be an energy gem on their weapons. Every time they release a skill, they touch the gem. Is it possible... that the magical gem gives them extra abilities?"
Ling You immediately became interested: "Oh? Then let's go and take a look?"
"Let's do some research..."
"Walk!"
Three first-order evolvers ran towards the player under the cover of night.
"ah!"
"Oh my god! Where's my fire stick?"
"Who the hell stole my weapon!!!"
...
the next day.
"We are all friends, don't mind it", "She said it doesn't count as a gift", "One millimeter is also a distance" three players gathered at the pollution farm.
They were carrying a bunch of bags filled with various seeds.
Some of them were purchased by Cheng Shaofeng from Colossus City, and some were seeds the three found from the mutant plants around them.
They all have one thing in common: edible food!
As real farming players, the three of them must plant the land in the game!
She said that wearing it didn’t count as giving: “If I don’t farm for a day, I feel like ants are crawling on my body!”
By the way, the newly joined player 'One Millimeter is a Distance' is a classmate of the two, and he is studying alien crop cultivation.
To put it simply... the soil taken from Mars and the Moon is handed over to their laboratories for analysis, and then new crops are grown.
Then cultivate some crops suitable for the soil environment of other planets and find a way to plant them.
There is no way around it, the rabbits' love for farming is already engraved in their genes.
When astronauts from other countries land on a new planet, they will consider mining for minerals, but rabbits... will first see what is suitable for growing in the local soil.
The same goes for players.
Looking at the small area that was purified by the players yesterday, the three of them looked excited!
"Finally, I don't have that cold feeling anymore. I feel much better~"
"And the aftermath of their battle... seems to have added a lot of energy to this land. I wonder if it will affect the growth of crops?"
"Haha~ Growth? It's good enough if it doesn't mutate."
"Let's get started! The Lord is still waiting for us to grow food!"
After the three of them had a long chat, they started to plow the land with the skeletons behind them.
