Chapter 17: Upgrading to Level 9 (Ask for Recommendations)
As an elite monster, the experience of the big mushroom people is very powerful, and one is equivalent to the experience of 20 small mushroom people.
As a player, after killing a big monster, the first thing is naturally to go up and touch the corpse.
Yun Xiaohan doesn't have too high expectations for his luck, he has always been the kind of player with very mediocre luck, and he has never encountered anything particularly unlucky, but he has never won a lottery or anything like that, and he has always won by number and time.
But this time he played "Choice", he actually felt that his luck had already broken through the sky compared to the past.
Sure enough, it may be that all the luck has been used up in the kill just now, and this big mushroom man has only contributed some materials, in addition to the mushroom spores that must be dropped, there are also two elite-level materials: dark spores and corrosive spores.
Yun Xiaohan guessed that these two elite-level materials were enchantment materials.
After that, Yun Xiaohan continued to search for another big mushroom man while leveling up.
This time, it only took him 10 minutes to find his target.
For the second big mushroom man, he adjusted his play slightly, and used the shield strike as soon as he got close, and then when the big mushroom man used the dark spores, he no longer tried to interrupt with the shield strike, but directly used the defensive stance to carry it for 5 seconds, and after carrying it, the shield strike had cooled down, and then used the shield strike to interrupt the more threatening corrosive spores.
With sufficient intelligence and a good response, Yun Xiaohan successfully killed the second big mushroom man.
In addition to dropping the same three materials as the previous one, this Big Mushroom Man also drops 3 life spores.
Life Spore: After use, for 5 seconds, it restores 1/15 of its health per second, for a total of 1/3 of its health.
This thing is actually equivalent to a blood vial, and there is still no drug CD time, and the effect is quite good.
The value of the medicines in "Choice" is extremely high, it is impossible to drink medicine to level up, they are usually used at critical moments, and there are no potions for sale in the novice village at all.
So for this drop, Yun Xiaohan is still relatively satisfied.
It takes 3 hours for the big mushroom man to refresh, and even the first big mushroom man to be killed has to wait for more than 2 hours and 40 minutes.
After 2 hours and 40 minutes, he started looking for the elite monster again, this time it took a little longer, and it took nearly 20 minutes to find it, and after killing again, Yun Xiaohan rose to 1% of level 9, and this time there were still only 3 materials that must be dropped.
Level 9 is the third general skill slot in Tier 1, but there are no suitable skills to learn at the moment, and it is not so urgently needed for Yun Xiaohan, so it is obviously not cost-effective to waste valuable normal experience time to find it in the market. Therefore, Yun Xiaohan simply left the level 9 skill slot empty and did not choose to return to the village.
At this time, looking at the level leaderboard, the second player has changed, and a player with an ID called Necromantic Judgment has taken the second place from Laughing Drunk.
In fact, except for Yun Xiaohan who is far ahead, the subsequent rankings are very competitive, and sometimes a 1% experience bar gap can be 4 or 5 places apart, and it is not surprising that the rankings fluctuate.
It may be that several monsters at level 6-7 are more disgusting, and the gap between Yun Xiaohan and the chaser has been slightly widened again, and the experience bar of Necromantic Judgment is only 82% of level 7.
However, soon Yun Xiaohan had to face a reality that was very difficult for him to accept, the experience required for 9 liters and 10 was three times that of 8 liters and 9.
Yun Xiaohan really wanted to kneel for the production staff of "Choice", knowing that 9 liters and 10 was a hurdle, but there was no need to be so bumpy. Originally, the experience requirement of doubling the level by 1 level was already exaggerated, but now it is 3 times, which is terrible.
He originally thought that he would be able to reach level 10 as long as it took another 7 or 8 hours, but now it is likely that it will take another day, because the large army will arrive soon, and counting tomorrow's 8 hours of normal experience time may not be enough to upgrade to level 10, no wonder Yun Xiaohan has mood swings.
The reality was already like this, so he had to enjoy it silently, he sorted out his mood, continued to level up and look for the 4th big mushroom man.
Soon after, Yun Xiaohan successfully killed the Great Mushroom Man again, and this time he finally had an equipment drop, which was still a rare accessory.
Medium Poison Resistance Ring: Increases poison resistance by 25%.
This green ring has no equipment requirements, although it only has one attribute, but it is a poison resistance attribute that is more urgently needed in front of you, and the effect is still very great.
After equipping, I went to fight the little mushroom man, and the life consumption after poisoning was significantly reduced.
After about 1 hour of practice, other players began to come to the mushroom jungle.
It is really a comparison to produce a sense of superiority, Yun Xiaohan has always thought that the high-body warrior is more at a loss in the face of poisoning, but when he saw the process of a mage beating the little mushroom man, he remembered that the physique originally had the effect of improving poison resistance.
The little mushroom man can attack from a close range or from a distance, but the attack frequency of the long-range attack is slower, and there is no skill of the mushroom head collision, all of which are ordinary attacks, and these ranged classes are undoubtedly more advantageous.
However, there is no high physique increase in poison resistance, once the ranged profession is poisoned, its blood loss percentage is much higher than that of the warrior, although the actual amount of blood loss is not as good as the warrior, but from the rough blood bar, it is far more shocking than the warrior, and at least 1/3 of the blood is lost in a poison.
In the absence of 3 pieces of Level 5 armor + weapons, no class has the conditions to go head-to-head with the Little Mushroom Man. So soon, the ranged professions who came to the mushroom jungle formed a team in twos and threes, and only a few top players with equipment chose to kill alone, but its efficiency was also very low, and it took a long time to sit on the floor to fight one.
If it weren't for the fact that there were more people in the alligator area, I am afraid that many people would choose to go back to fight crocodiles.
In fact, compared with backward players, Yun Xiaohan's biggest advantage at this time is that he has occupied the ruffian area for a long time, so he has gained a lot of game wealth.
Players who have not been able to really get rid of the large army do not have this condition, and after the benefits of the local ruffian area have been discovered by more people, it has been overcrowded, and the money in the ruffian area has naturally become a nightmare for all players.
If the novice village can PK, it is believed that countless battles have broken out there.
At this point, the 5 players that Yun Xiaohan had guided when he was doing the task had already complained to him.
For the vast majority of players, buying and learning skills is enough to make ends meet, and the equipment aspect can only be ignored for the time being.
If you exclude the special case of Yun Xiaohan, who is a large lead, even for the first echelon players who are second to Yun Xiaohan, it is not a small pressure to buy general skills, the higher the level, the higher the requirements, and the more expensive the skill.
Whether it's earning in-game currency, finding the right skills, and real-world money trading negotiations (bargaining and money first) are a huge waste of their resources and time. After all, not every first-tier player has the financial conditions and decisive determination to invest a lot of money at the beginning of the game, not to mention that money may not be able to get what they want.
Because they are all ranged players, they are more active on the outskirts of the jungle, so they can reach a greater distance and use the range advantage to hit one or two skills first.
Because the mushroom jungle is very large, Yun Xiaohan is located inside the jungle, so it is not affected at this time.
But as more and more players move up to level 8, the mushroom jungle is getting louder.
3 hours later, the mushroom jungle was already full of players, and Yun Xiaohan finally grabbed the pickup right of a big mushroom man from a few people, but I don't know if the luck was still not very good, or because the number of people involved in the attack was a bit large, only 3 materials were still dropped.
At this time, the time was about to come to 9 o'clock, Yun Xiaohan no longer had the chic of the previous single kill, he needed to rob people with monsters, his efficiency dropped sharply, and his experience bar was only 31% of level 9.
As soon as 9 o'clock arrives, the 18th period ends, and you can only get 20% of the normal experience when you enter the 28th period when the experience shrinks. Ordering a takeout again, he continued to dive into the game. (After this, the protagonist's real meal will not be repeated)
Yun Xiaohan worked hard with other players to kill the little mushroom man, because of the poisonous state of the mushroom man, most players still have a kind of speculative psychology, and will choose to let others open the monster first, and then go up to take advantage, with Yun Xiaohan's defense, he naturally doesn't care about opening the monster first, so it is not difficult for him to grab the monster at this time.
But the big mushroom man definitely can't grab it, and as soon as it comes out, it will be set on fire by the players, and he won't survive for 20 seconds at all.
After hitting a few more little mushroom people, Yun Xiaohan suddenly heard a soft sound of "ding", and then a system prompt popped up: Your heavy attack skill has been upgraded to level 2. (In order to concentrate on leveling, the text chat display bar at the bottom left is usually only a custom information bar composed of a system information bar and a combat information bar)
Heavy attacks that have been upgraded to level 2 have been slightly strengthened, from the original damage of (25 + 0.6 * strength + 0.4 * equipment attack power) to the damage of (35 + 0.7 * strength + 0.5 * equipment attack damage), but the cooldown time has not changed, it is still 1.5 seconds.
