Chapter 2: The Artifact Begins!

[System: Welcome to Portal World I.] 】

[System: You have come to a strange world of hanging islands, where there are countless isolated hanging islands, each of which has a large number of hidden portals, but if you want to use them, you need to use the "portal" skill you have obtained to open it, what you need to do is to find the portal to leave this world. 】

[Basic Mission: Clear the game and rank in the top 70% of all players who participate in the game]

[Reminder: Time is not the key to evaluation, map exploration rate, item collection, monster book, level, number of tasks completed, number of gold coins obtained by hand, etc., will affect the ranking evaluation]

[System: Obtain the "Adventurer's Handbook"]

[System: Acquire the skill "Portal]

[System: Obtain 3 [Power Stones]]

[Portal: Players can unconditionally open a portal on each suspended island, and open the second or more portal, each time they need to consume a "power stone". The farther the portal is opened from the portal that enters the island, the shorter the cooldown of the portal ability.

[System: There are three empty treasure chests in front of you, you can choose a combination of equipment items with a total value of three stars to put into them, and then you open one of the treasure chests to get the initial equipment items in the treasure chest]

"Three One Stars"

"1 star, 2 star, 0 star"

"3 stars, 0 stars, 0 stars"

"4 stars, 0 stars, -1 star"

"Five-star, -1 star, -1 star"

……

After a series of system prompts and simple game instructions, several combination options appeared in front of Chen Bing.

In Portal World I., equipment is divided by star ratings, and five-star equipment is very rare, and it is considered artifact-level equipment in the game, so many players will say that Portal World I. will give artifacts when you click at the beginning.

However, this artifact is not so easy to give, choose a combination of five stars and two - 1 stars, it is good to win five stars, if you win - 1 star, it means that not only can you not get the artifact at the beginning, but you will also suffer punishment in the game - deduct two pieces of the first two four-star equipment obtained by the player himself.

Four-star equipment is also not easy to obtain, and being deducted from two pieces of four-star equipment will make it very difficult for players to play in the middle and late stages, so how to choose depends on the player's choice at this time.

It's a gamble, or a decent and stable start.

"The last one!"

Chen Bing had already understood, and he did not hesitate to choose the five-star combination.

The upgrade of the home teleportation array requires clearing the corresponding portal world game, and portal world I. is the easiest, but it has a great impact on a series of subsequent game worlds.

When entering Portal World II, the player will no longer have a treasure chest to open at the beginning, but will choose to inherit one piece of equipment from the player who cleared Portal World I.

Don't look at I. is the simplest game in the series, but the equipment and props in I. are the most rebellious, and the best equipment can be used in the following series of games.

In the portal world series of games, the game will become more and more difficult as the level of the home teleportation array increases.

It is said that the homeland teleportation array is level 4, and when you reach Portal World IV, it will be very difficult to clear and upgrade the teleportation array, and if you don't have enough strength, you will be stuck for a long time and cannot be upgraded.

On many game forums, many old players warn new players that Portal World I must try to brush up the best equipment, and if necessary, you can choose to give up clearing the game and wait for the next time, because once you clear the customs and rank in the top 70%, you can't enter the teleportation array again.

If you have cleared I. and have not obtained too useful equipment in the game, then it is best to choose to farm useful equipment in II. or III., otherwise there is a high probability of being stuck in IV.

Perhaps because of the admonition of these veteran players, Chen Bing found that Portal World I. was very popular on the forum, and many people would rather stay in I. Rika for a few weeks than be in a hurry to upgrade the teleportation array.

After all, there are a lot of home games, and there are new games to play every day if you don't upgrade the teleportation array.

Most players have to slowly upgrade buildings with materials in those novice games, and there are only a handful of people like Chen Bing who can upgrade buildings with a bunch of building upgrade scrolls in one click.

In the case that other buildings have not been upgraded, it is not meaningful to simply upgrade the teleportation array. If you don't upgrade the level of your home first, you will only be abused if you enter the advanced game.

[System: Please select a treasure chest to open!] 】

After Chen Bing chose the five-star combination, three identical rays of light floated into the treasure chest in front of him.

The game officially began, and Chen Bing moved his hands and feet, and he was free to move.

Hey, hey, hey......

"Record the origin of time!"

At the beginning of the island, there were no other players, and before opening the treasure chest, Chen Bing used the time rewind skill.

Chen Bing didn't know much about the time backtracking skill.

He went out of his way to check the hour he had spent time rewinding, and found that other players' games were unaffected during that time.

It can be seen that the time rewind skill can only affect a small part of the game area around him, as for whether it can take effect when other players exist, Chen Bing has no way of knowing, and he does not plan to try.

Five-star equipment is comparable to an artifact in the portal world, and it is still worth it to start with artifact equipment at the beginning and spend a little time or two to retrace energy.

Choose one of the three treasure chests, according to the statistics made on the player forum, the probability of the treasure chest opening five-star equipment is about one-third, that is, the contents of the treasure chest are fixed, otherwise the probability of five-star equipment will not be so high.

The portal world game is opened once a week, and many players who are ready to brush the best equipment in I. will gamble at the beginning, and if the bet is won, as long as the game is cleared, the future portal world series of games will be basically guaranteed.

Of course, the odds of one out of three are artifacts, but the odds of two out of three are -1 star, and in this big gamble, only a few people can win.

Chen Bing opened the treasure chest on the far left, and the treasure chest was empty.

[System: If you open the treasure chest and get a negative star penalty, the first two pieces of four-star equipment you get will be deducted!] 】

Go back in time!

The system prompt sounded, and Chen Bing immediately used the time to backtrack the skill.

This time, Chen Bing chose the second treasure chest.

[System: Obtain the equipment "Jumping Shoes"!] 】

[Equipment: Jumping Shoes]

[Type: Portal World Special Equipment]

[Star Rating: ★★★★★]

[Special Effect: Movement Speed +3, gain stronger jumping ability, and can perform secondary jumps]

"Jumping shoes? This is good! ”

Time goes back and repeats, in the second treasure chest, Chen Bing opened the 5-star equipment, and it was a jumping shoe!

The Jumping Shoes increase their jumping ability and allow them to make a second jump, allowing them to jump onto small islands around each hanging island.

These small islands, which many players cannot reach in the early stage, tend to have high profits.

In addition to jumping shoes, zipline claws, exploration helmets, and reset dice are all very good 5-star artifacts.

The Zipline Claw has the same effect as the Jumping Shoes, allowing the player to reach small islands that are far away, while also being used to attack monsters, while the Exploration Helmet allows the player to see where the hidden door is, where the player can open the portal to enter the hidden map.

Resetting the dice is even more powerful, potentially resetting all the resources, monsters, and quests in the current room, but resetting costs 5 blocks of energy, and resetting the dice will restore 1 bar of energy for each time you enter a hanging island that you have never reached.

Or use power stones, power stones can be used in addition to portal skills, and any equipment props in the game that need to use energy can be directly filled with energy with energy stones.

[System: If you find a new equipment "Jumping Shoes", will it be recorded in the Illustrated Book]

"Record!"

The system prompt sounded again, and Chen Bing was prepared and chose to record.

Ding Ding Ding ~~

The "Adventurer's Handbook" appeared in front of Chen Bing, and it made a pleasant sound.

When each piece of equipment is acquired by the player, the player can choose to enter it into the Bestiary in the Adventurer's Handbook.

And a piece of equipment, can only be recorded by one player, jumping shoes have been recorded by Chen Bing into the illustrated book, even if Chen Bing dies and loses the jumping shoes, the illustrated book will still be saved, and the player who picks up the jumping shoes can only equip the jumping shoes, and cannot record and light up the illustrated book.

Equipped with jumping shoes, Chen Bing tried to jump, and found that he could only jump 3 meters away in a single jump, but he made a second jump, and the distance he could jump reached 5 meters.

The height ranges from 1.5 meters to 3 meters.

"Roar!"

Chen Bing then called out the Brave Slime, this guy hadn't entered the game for a few days, he was extremely excited, and as soon as he came out, he looked around curiously and shouted in demonstration.

It's a pity that there is nothing around, just blue sky and white clouds.

"Let's go, keep up."

Chen Bing casually chose a position and used the portal skill.

The birth island is small, and it is the same wherever the portal is used, and the place where you go out is bound to be overcrowded.

"Rub! That's a lot of people! ”

"Grab the experience star!"

The scenery in front of him changed, and Chen Bing appeared on a hanging island with a rather large area.

Yes, this hanging island is overcrowded, and at a glance, it is full of people.

Like Chen Bing, there are many players who have just entered this island when they see this, and they simply run more than ten meters and immediately use the portal skill again.

Being so close to the portal they entered would have a fairly long cooldown time when used like this, but they would rather go to an island with fewer people first than wasting time on this overcrowded island.

Chen Bing squinted and looked around, then rushed forward.

There are obviously not many players who have jumping shoes, at least not on this hanging island.

The experience stars on the ground have been coaxed by the players, and most of them have been robbed.

But 3 meters above everyone's heads, there were still a lot of yellow experience stars floating in the air.

Chen Bing ran over quickly, jumping, jumping twice, and with a beautiful roll in the air, he ate several experience stars in a row.

"! That guy has jumping shoes! ”

"Opening artifact, luck is too good, right?"

When many players saw it, their eyes immediately turned red.
