Chapter 527 526.The development team can really be our caring people-[Monthly votes plus more 810
The small players didn’t have time to grieve for the end of the Holy Blood Festival, because early in the morning of the third day after the end of the festival, an order from the Transylvanian People’s Army changed the status of all players from civilians to “reservists”.
This conscription order was not just sent directly to each player’s interface, but was ceremoniously sent by the excellent military police trained by the “fish-finding trio” on horseback to each online player.
Looking at the simple but revealing the seriousness of the order on the enlistment order, as well as the following Murphy, Miriam and Maxim’s signature and seal, now even the newcomers who have just entered the game, such as Brother Huo Zi and Yuan, also know a cruel fact.
Going to war!
The newcomers were given a new “leveling area”, and the thoughtfulness from the development team was translated into the quests on the quest board outside the administration office as “clearing the swamps”, which would lead the newcomers to the filthy swamps that had been temporarily calmed down, where they would go to the swamps that were being destroyed by the dog-heads. They will meet at the Wolf’s Castle, which is being cleared and rebuilt by the Dogheads.
There the Hoggs have prepared a variety of quests for them, including, but not limited to, clearing the swamp of the Skeleton Army and the beasts that roam the swamp, gathering supplies to maintain the roads, and the pesky escort quests.
In view of the huge area of the filthy swamp and the strange creatures scattered in it, Murphy would not need to worry about the “newbie practicing area” for a long time to come.
Hogg’s clan wants to control the entire swamp, but their manpower is seriously insufficient, so there are endless quests can be handed over to the little players full of energy to do, these blood clawed jackals have long been accustomed to the player’s way, they will certainly be prepared to make the newcomers satisfied with the reward.
As for the old players .
The most elite 40 “professional players” this will still be in the “three days of abstinence” it, the rest of the old players are busy in the Wolf Castle nearby to revisit the “carrion place” copy challenge.
The original very difficult team copy in the copy of the snapshot mechanism, its difficulty by the development team “balanced” to a reasonable range, well-equipped and well-coordinated team of 40 people to spend a day or two time can definitely pass.
And the equipment produced by this copy designed by Missy is quite good.
Although the BOSS still drops the “Swamp Warrior Badge” card mode, but currently stationed in the Wolf Castle’s mage tower scout Mr. Heru has temporarily guest role as the “Wolf Castle Quartermaster”, he will be responsible for counting the equipment needs of the players who have passed the replica. He will be responsible for counting the equipment needs of the players who have passed the replica, and then exchange a series of Jackal Clan style equipment to them.
This set of equipment comes from the equipment of those jackal elites that Murphy and Tris and Maxim pulled down in the tomb of the “Bone Biting King’s Hunting Guard”.
Murphy named it the “King of Clan” set to distinguish it from the Clan Guard set.
The size of 500 sets of Clan King’s armor is enough to exchange for a long time, and although these equipments have been buried in time for more than 100 years, but they are still of spiritual creation, which makes them very suitable for fighting in the swampy environment, and the [Berserk] and [Voodoo] attributes are very suitable for hunters, melee fighters, and evil spellcasters.
I can only say that this wave is the development team must thank the gift from nature.
This new copy of the heat can last at least a month, which makes Murphy temporarily do not need to consider making a new main quest, but he can not be idle, so soon released for the “coffin backer” of the “career update”.
At present, the player’s career system has already included many different branches, but among these branches, the number of Tricksters and Coffin Carriers who follow the dark route is quite small, probably because Realms is a game that emphasizes “truth, goodness, beauty/love and peace”, so at this stage, the dark style of play doesn’t have too many appealing places. The Dark Side.
However, despite the small number of people in these two professions, there is a lot of solidarity within them, and these “perverts” will share their experiences and insights with each other, especially with the “Demon Octet”.
This small guild, which specializes in darkness, has become a “dark mecca” among players, and for the four coffin carriers in the Devil’s Eight, this career update has come at just the right time.
“Damn, I was saying that I’d wait for a few days to give some serious feedback on the forums about the strength of the professions!”
In the Scarlet Cloister, the honest Dog Egg excitedly waved his bone staff and shouted:
“In terms of first-class player strength matchups at this level now, a few Elite Skeleton Soldiers are already hard enough to give us an advantage in a matchup, and those asshole warriors and assassins have hundreds of ways to get around the stupid Skeleton Soldiers to hurt us!
Even in Pve, with the strength of the beasts in the swamps, you’d have skeleton soldiers and swamp tigers fighting one on one and it’s not certain who would win.
The growth value of this skeleton soldier is too low, just look at the level up what’s the point, the power increase accumulated from leveling up five levels is not as big as the increase of other players changing to a good weapon.
If you want to continue to strengthen the subsequent we have to constantly use the precious breath of the underworld to break through their strength ceiling, can not play the quality can only play the quantity, but the black iron level of the undead contract position is only 18! You can’t beat a battle madman like Cat or Pomegranate even if you contract all of them as Skeleton Knights.
When it comes to shield T’s like Bull and Sanwu Dou, these scraping Skeleton Soldiers can’t even break defense.
If we keep going like this, we’re going to become a sewer profession.
As a result, before I could give feedback, the development team’s thoughtful programmers gave us the upper undead alternatives, hahahahaha, finally we can contract necromancers and Underworld Knights, crap, our necromancer profession is going to rise!”
“Don’t be busy being happy first.”
The Water Demon Bazaar, who was also a Back Coffin Man, looked at the honest Dog Egg being so excited and couldn’t help but splash cool water and spit, saying:
“It’s clearly stated in this career update that these rescued necromancers and Underworld Knights are all poor people who were once scourged by the Jackals, all they think about now is resting in peace, and they don’t have much of a will to fight at all.
And these superior undead have their own wisdom, although not necessarily more intelligent, but certainly have their own ideas, you want to contract people still have to brush goodwill first!
Although these necromancers and Underworld Knights are all uniquely modeled, each with a different backstory, and they do look impressive, I still think it’s a pitfall, really! If you’re planning to contract multiple of these superior undead, those goodwill quests alone can be brushed up until one despairs.
You can’t contract powerful undead if you don’t do the quests… Ugh, after all that, this coffin carrier of ours turns out to be a ‘real-dog-licking profession’.”
“Pit is pit, isn’t playing a game a process of investing time and energy in exchange for a sense of accomplishment?”
The honest dog egg was very open-minded.
He let his four skeleton warriors lift his exaggerated “sliding pole” to raise himself up, while saying to the worried Basha:
“If those necromancers and knights of the underworld are all tools that can’t think, I still don’t like them! Hey, it’s off to the hut of the dead to pick a few guys I get along with and go on a licking spree! I don’t believe I can’t find what they crave.
You have to understand, Basha, although our necromancer’s combat method is also called the Sea of Undead, but your own command of the skeleton army and your cooperation with the higher undead to command the skeleton army are two concepts.
Let me tell you, I did some calculations after I got offline, as long as one necromancer joins your system, it will increase our combat effectiveness by at least 30%!
This is an absolute qualitative change!
If you can contract 4 or more of the 18 undead contracts at the Black Iron rank, your combat power will absolutely soar! It’s not even a problem to directly hit the Top 10 of the Player Power Ranking.
I’m telling you, I’m determined to become a ‘Ghost King’ from now on! Hehehe, Ghost King Dog Egg, that sounds too cool.”
“Uh, you’re called Ghost King, why don’t you come up with a more impressive nickname?”
When the nearby passing Stripped Pants Demon heard Dog Egg’s statement, he couldn’t help but ask rhetorically:
“How does the name Dog Egg sound weird?”
“My nickname is Dog Egg, my grandfather gave it to me, do you have a problem with that? Why don’t I send you to hell to find my grandfather to complain in person?”
The honest Dog Egg Brother glared at the Pants Removal Demon, who raised his hands and said with an apologetic smile:
“Ah, what an awesome name, I’m convinced, bro. Are you guys going to brush up on your necromancer and Underworld Knight favorites? Come with me, I’ll take you guys there, I have a ‘unique trick’ to make the undead fly into your favor.”
“Huh?”
Dog Egg and Basha immediately became interested.
They gathered around the pantsless demon and inquired blindly, and Feng didn’t hide anything and explained:
“There’s a ‘fitness’ of the upper undead’s body without damaging it, the higher the fitness, the stronger the power the undead can exert, which is why powerful necromancers or Underworld Knights won’t give up their remains.
It’s not just because of nostalgia, there are also practical considerations.
But as a superior undead will always encounter the embarrassing situation of the body burning down and the soul escaping back to the life box, in this case they are no longer willing to have to choose a new body.
However, the new body has a period of adaptation.
During this period, their strength drops quite drastically, which I call ‘resurrection weakness’!
Anyway, I’ve learned a lot of ways from Mentor Bella that can weaken resurrection weakness, but they all require all sorts of strange materials, so if you guys can help bring back the materials for those weakened necromancers and Underworld Knights, wouldn’t their goodwill then just rub off on them?” Stripped Pants Demon laughed, and very self-consciously reached out to take Basha and Doggie’s shoulders as he whispered:
“So, that’s my advice to you guys, don’t go for the powerful undead at first, the more powerful the necromancers and underworld knights are the deeper their desire for ‘freedom’ is, and the less likely they are to obey the orders of the backstabbers.
But those who resurrect weak necromancers and underworld knights aren’t so preoccupied.
They need the help of others to get rid of their weakness as soon as possible, and in this case, anyone with a little bit of brain knows that they can’t offend those who can help them!
Uh, that’s all I can say, I think you guys should know what to do with your understanding.
Oh oh, and here’s some important news!”
Feng scratched his head and said to Doggy and Basha:
“Not all of the superior undead have returned to the Scarlet Fortress, there are still some that didn’t accept Lord Murphy’s kindness, and they’re wandering around in the swamp with their lifeboxes, so if you guys are too lazy to brush up on your reputation, and would prefer a quick fix, go look for those guys in the swamp!
Once you get their lifeboxes, you can order them to do anything.
Those guys aren’t protected by Transylvanian law, so you can use any damage you want.”
“Holy shit! Sure is evil enough, I like it.”
Water Demon Basha licked his lips and revealed a rather perverted smile as he patted Feng’s shoulder and said:
“Thanks, brother, this news of yours came at the right time, I’ll order all my troops to go around the swamp a few times, Brother Dog Egg, want to go together?”
“No, I still like the mode of brushing reputation.”
Dog Egg bristled and re-ascended his own sliding pole that was lifted up by four skeleton soldiers, he waved his hand and said:
“Mandatory contract suppression is too risky, there are too many hidden dangers, and using a life box to coerce people, what’s the difference between this kind of behavior and a doggone jackal warlock? I want to be a Ghost King, but I don’t want to be a bad guy, so I’d better go and honestly brush my reputation.”
“There’s nothing dark stream about you!”
Bazaar spat:
“You’re just an order-keeping camp necromancer masquerading as a dark baddie, so forget it, I’ll go by myself. But are we going to look for draft horses in the swamp together tomorrow? I’ve heard that someone’s already found unowned skeletal warhorses over there.
It’s a rare elite.
Other professions still have to be defeated in order to capture it, we can just use Undead Control to get our hands on it, and we can sell it to others even if we can’t use it ourselves, what a beautiful thing to do.”
“Alright, I’ll go over and find you guys tomorrow night.”
Dog Egg was very moved, and after making an appointment, he parted ways with Basha, and followed the pantsless demon to the Dead Man’s Hut again.
The two talked and laughed along the way.
Dog egg also invited the pants demon sat on his own slippery pole, this do it yourself thing although funny, but you also do not say, by the skeleton soldiers carrying walking feeling really good, and stable and fast, but also times face, along the way attracted a lot of the first few days into the game of the new often turn back.
However, when approaching the dead man’s hut, the sharp-eyed Dog Egg quickly spotted a familiar face, he stood up from the sliding pole and shouted to the front:
“Hey, Groundnut Burner, what are you guys doing here? Didn’t you guys say you were going to fight guerrilla with Master Qin in the swamp? How come you’re back so soon?”
“Alas, don’t mention it, Master Qin took on a hidden quest to come.”
Groundnut Burn, who was boredly circling around the vicinity of the dead man’s hut, yawned and poured out his grievances, saying:
“Originally, Master Qin was going to take us across the swamp, and we had all planned to rush over to Desolate Mountain to check out the situation before the NPCs went out.
But before we even set off, Consul Miriam gave a hidden quest that refreshed on Master Qin’s panel, saying that there was an ‘old friend’ who wanted to meet him.
Nah, old Qin went in for twenty minutes and didn’t see any triggers for follow-ups or anything, I really don’t know what he’s talking about with the strange necromancer in there.”
“Ding.”
As soon as Groundnut Burner finished complaining, the second ring of the “Hidden Quest – ‘Old Friends’ Reunion” popped up on his panel, and Artiste Sang looked down and screamed:
“Fuck! Escorting a guy named ‘Rotem Hugh Baldwin’ to Crimson Fortress? Nyah, who is this NPC? Why haven’t I heard of it before. But why does the surname ‘Baldwin’ sound so familiar?”
“The Northmen’s Winter Wolf General has that surname! Crap, bro you guys triggering this quest sounds awesome, can you share it? Can give G.”
How smart was Dog Egg, he immediately tasted the flavor of the “subplot”, he blinked his eyes and asked, Groundnut Roast was quite indifferent.
He and Dog Egg were from the same school, and even though everyone had gone back to their own homes due to the current pandemic closure, it was just a matter of sharing a quest under this kind of alumni relationship.
“Asking for a shitload of money, we’re all on our own, let’s not talk about money, cheesy or not?”
Groundnut Roast spat out, sharing the mission in passing.
Not only did he share it with Dog Egg, he also shared it along the way with the pantsless demon Feng who was watching from the side, Dog Egg was naturally happy, he was excited that he had encountered a subplot, but Feng was a bit hesitant.
He can really move freely now, but he is afraid that something will happen if he doesn’t tell his mom that he is going out of town.
Before the pantsless demon could finish his discussion, the closed door of the dead man’s hut was pushed open.
Wearing a Cadman People’s Army sergeant squad leader uniform, carrying a classic Mosin Nagan, and also tied himself a cowhide armed belt and a bullet chain in front of the chest of the old Qin stride out, followed by a long hood wearing a mysterious person to cover the body.
This guy said a few words to Master Qin and then walked towards the Groundnut Roast.
As the young man watched in amazement, the necromancer Baldwin, who had changed his body, looked him up and down, then reached out and patted Groundhog Burn on the shoulder.
It said in a dry but very appreciative voice:
“Young man fought well before, although your battle skills are sparse, but at your age you dared to fight against the elite skeleton army under my command, this courage alone proves that you can be a good soldier, do a good job under General Qin’s command.”
“Hey! Old Luo.”
Old Qin interrupted the necromancer’s encouragement rather irritably as he said:
“I’m just a Staff Sergeant Squad Leader now, don’t you fucking talk nonsense okay? It’s still a toss-up whether I can be a general in Transylvania in the future, let’s hurry up and depart, it’s four hours to ride a wind buzzard over to the Crimson Fortress, I don’t want to spend the night in the wilderness at night.”
“Well, it was my slip of the tongue.”
The necromancer revealed a stiff and odd smile as it followed Old Qin as he walked towards the Blood Wyvern Cloister beyond, while behind him followed the few people who had taken the quest.
Groundnut Burner would still be in a daze at this point as he frowned and said:
“Has this necromancer seen me before? And he said I was a good fighter, my ass, I’m not good enough to take on a necromancer. Wait a minute! Fuck! I know who it is.
Shit!
How did you even make friends with it, Old Qin?”
Groundnut Burn exclaimed:
“How badly it beat us up before, I’m left with a mental shadow, shit! You bad necromancer, compensate me and my roommates for the mental damage!”
“Well, although my humble self has no body right now, my untalented great-grandson still has a bit of status in the Crimson Fortress, I’ll instruct him to compensate you guys when we arrive.”
“Hey, this is good! You necromancers are still weirdly good le, well, I won’t remember the revenge of you getting me killed before.”
