What made Yun Xiaohan hesitate even more was that the branch task couldn't be given up halfway. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the main task, Yun Xiaohan has the opportunity to give up halfway, for example, the system prompts the miner lounge in front of him, and here he prompts again, but when it comes to the branch task, there will obviously be no more such opportunities, and he must go all the way to the dark, and it is even possible that he will not be able to return to the ground without completing the branch task, which is very troublesome.

What's worse is that once the branch task fails, it is very likely to cause the main task to fail, and in addition, it will drop a whole level, which is too side effect and too serious consequences.

Yun Xiaohan is now 19.9% experience at level 45, and the second on the level list is 76.7% at level 43, which is nearly one and a half levels ahead of the gap reopened by a series of rewards that Yun Xiaohan received after defeating the king of thunderclaw kobolds, among which the [Thunderclaw Blade] strengthened by the cyan young dragon's fang played a key role.

Although Yun Xiao still has 19.9% experience at level 44 when he drops one level, he still won't lose the first place on the level list, but the gap has narrowed a lot all of a sudden.

What's more, the divergent route makes it clear that branching quests are more suitable for players with dark vision and stealth abilities, and the potential benefits in quests are more skewed towards agile players. Yun Xiaohan has neither stealth ability nor dark vision, and the agility attribute growth skill has never been learned, no matter how you look at it, it is thankless, and the probability of completing the task is not high.

It stands to reason that Yun Xiaohan should decisively choose divergent route 1, but Yun Xiaohan is really unwilling to give up this divergent route 2, which is obviously a hidden task.

There are three main reasons why Yun Xiaohan wants to choose the second route of divergence:

First, the difficulty and reward of the task in "Choice" are often proportional, the greater the difficulty of the task, the more generous the reward, and there will rarely be a thankless task, even if you can't get a reward in the current task, you can get certain benefits in the follow-up task or extended mission.

Therefore, Yun Xiaohan felt that even if the benefits that might be obtained in the mission were not suitable for him, he might be compensated from somewhere else.

Moreover, the difficulty of the main task can allow Yun Xiaohan to get so many benefits, and the more difficult branch tasks will obviously have more rewards, if he really has to give up, Yun Xiaohan may have to scratch his heart and lungs for a long time.

Second, Yun Xiaohan's biggest concern is not downgrade, but that the failure of the branch task will lead to the failure of the main task. It doesn't matter if the level lead becomes smaller, as long as his strength is still there, he can still reopen the gap, although the impact is there, but it will not be very big. But if the main mission fails, Mithril and Mica will have nothing to do with him at all, and the subsequent tasks will not be done, and this loss will be great.

But after careful consideration, Yun Xiaohan felt that it was extremely unlikely that the main task would fail because of the failure of the branch task. The reason is simple, and that is the reasoning about the follow-up tasks.

The main task is to return to the surface and tell the news of the silver mine to those who are qualified to participate in the fight for new veins. If it is another player in Snow Man City, it is natural to report to the Snow Man City Lord, Barguf, and let him fight, and share part of the benefits in the back. Yun Xiao Han chose to report to his feudal lord, Liya, and let her fight for the ownership or mining rights of the new veins.

If Yun Xiaohan hadn't obtained Tina's lieutenant, then the failure of his branch mission would have led to the failure of the main mission, but now that Tina exists, the news of the new vein has been passed on to Riya through Tina, so there is no problem that the news cannot be transmitted because of his death, and the main mission will naturally not fail.

In this way, Yun Xiaohan's worries are much smaller.

Thirdly, in many quest designs, Choice deliberately misleads or intimidates players who are on a quest by prompting "correct information". This is especially true for missions that are more difficult and rare, both to control the number of people involved in the mission, to increase the difficulty and increase the gameplay, or simply to have a bad taste for the mission designer.

Yun Xiaohan felt that this divergent route choice was likely to be the case, and the hint given in the miners' lounge earlier was likely to be the same situation, if he had chosen to return to the surface at that time, it would have been impossible to trigger this divergent choice.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Yun Xiaohan still decided to choose the second divergent route.

Yun Xiaohan confirmed this choice, and the new task was displayed in the task panel.

Hidden Branch Quest Phase 1 - "Ghost Shadow" Quest: Go underground through holes to uncover the secrets of ghosts.

Yun Xiaohan burrowed into the hole and descended a rudimentary "staircase" of moss, stones, and mud. As he walked, Yun Xiaohan suddenly found a small amount of blood spots on the gray-green moss, I don't know if it was reflected by the color of the moss, or because the brightness was not enough, the scattered blood spots were not bright red, but dark red.

These blood spots were obviously just dripping, they hadn't coagulated yet, and they hadn't seeped into the moss, and it was very likely that they were left by the black-robed man who was cold by Yun Xiaohan just now.

Under normal circumstances, the monsters with the bloody shield setting turned on will not bleed, at least they will not be seen by the player, and now it is obviously in the mission, and the black-robed man can be regarded as being severely injured by Yun Xiaohan, and it is normal to shed a little blood, but the color of this blood is a bit unlike that of a human.

Yun Xiaohan hurriedly sped up, since the black-robed man was injured, it was impossible for him to run too fast, Yun Xiaohan could catch up with him if he ran quickly, and see what he was.

It is not easy to go down the simple "ladder" quickly, because it is not a staircase in the real sense, there are not many places to stay, and a lot of moss is not strong, and it can't bear the weight of Yun Xiaohan at all, not even part of the mud, so Yun Xiaohan has to find a stone staircase part to settle in.

In this way, Yun Xiaohan's must be chosen, and he must constantly adjust it with the mouse and left and right buttons to speed it up.

Yun Xiaohan learned the piano when he was a child, and his reaction talent was particularly good, and he soon became better and better after adapting, and after running the stairs for more than 3 minutes, he finally saw the figure of the black-robed man.

Because this place is already very underground, and the light provided by the torches is seriously insufficient, Yun Xiaohan's visual range has been greatly limited, under normal circumstances, Yun Xiaohan's extra-large +4 physique can see 200 yards away, but now he can only see 50 yards away. (Vision is not affected by changing physiques)

In addition, because Yun Xiaohan does not have dark vision or dim vision, the negative buff of hit drop has increased again, from the original 20% reduction to a 30% reduction, and it is estimated that Yun Xiaohan may continue to fall after he reaches the bottom of the stairs. (To be continued.) )
