Chapter 122
9:50 a.m. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
While most players were still struggling in the game, An Yizhi had quietly gone offline.
This time is more than an hour before lunch, and it is nearly 5 hours when you change it to game time. Half a day less, and there is no pressure at all to line up a dungeon on normal difficulty.
An important reason for going offline early is naturally that An Yizhi died in the dungeon.
Unlike during the closed beta, the death penalty has been significantly changed after the beta.
Now deducts 25% of experience from your current level each time you die, and has a chance to drop an item, plus a 3-hour period of weakness during gameplay. During this period, all the attributes of the character will be halved, and the experience points obtained will be halved.
With such a debuff, there is no way to level up and arrange activities, so everyone tries to avoid death affecting their leveling plan at the beginning of the game.
Some newly resurrected players choose to hang out in the game, or find a tavern or something to eat and drink, but the price of food and drink is very cheap anyway. Others, like An Yizhi, wait for the weakness period to pass, after all, the real time is 4 times faster than the game time.
Besides, he still has something he wants to look up.
Climbing out of the game pod, Erhafenriel quickly trotted all the way to him when he saw this, grinning and flipping his belly to make Ann scratch his fingers.
The dead dog has been getting more and more callous lately......
Lin Linglin was still in the game at this time, her game cabin was next to her, An Yi glanced at the status of the panel, and showed that she was in the copy, so she didn't bother her, and came to the bookshelf with Erha in her arms.
As mentioned earlier, An Yizhi has a rather gorgeous bookshelf, which is not only expensive at first glance, but also not small in size, almost catching up with the kind used in the library.
Don't look at his room, the first impression is very cluttered, the bookshelves are well organized, and each book is carefully classified according to type.
“l’aShub-Niggurath...... Where does this phrase come from? ”
When humans see something they have seen, they have a sense of familiarity, which is what we often call a sense of déjà vu. An Yizhi was very sure that he had seen this passage in the book before, but he forgot which one it was.
There's no way, An Yizhi's memory is very average, and with or without relevant training, it's good that he can narrow down the range to his bookshelf.
"Woo~"
Erha obviously didn't understand what An Yizhi was thinking, yawned, and nestled in An Yizhi's arms to get ready to sleep.
"Anyway, let's go through all the books we can"
There are at least a few hundred books of varying thickness on the shelves, and it is quite a task to go through them thoroughly.
Well, he is always so patient when it comes to this kind of thing, you say that if he had used his energy in his studies, he would have become a top student by now, and the key universities would be proper.
Teenage boy flipping through the book......
More than an hour later, when Lin Linglin withdrew from the game, she saw this scene.
Books on European history and occultism on the shelves were taken down and piled on the floor, stacks of high and low books obscured half of Ann's fingers, and he lay on his side flipping through a book called 'Is Magic Science or Superstition?' and could see Masaka curled up at his feet.
"What do you want to look up again?"
Lin Linglin had already seen it, and she had long known An Yizhi's habit of turning books whenever she thought of something, but she was a little curious about what he was crazy about this time.
"Spirit ......"
"Huh?"
"I'm Hungry"
“……”
After correcting An Yizhi's poor way of speaking, Lin Linglin took a hairpin and tied up her slightly longer short hair and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Anything goes...... Uh, eat something vegetarian, no meat."
As soon as he remembered the scene he had seen before, he felt that it was better not to eat meat recently.
Lin Linglin answered, opened the refrigerator and took out the previously cut vegetables, and at the same time poured some dog food for Fenrir. As soon as Erha saw that there was something delicious, he immediately followed along.
"Where the hell is it......"
grinning and rubbing the pinched red loin, An Yizhi still couldn't find the source.
The pronunciation was a bit like English, so he focused on European books, but still found nothing.
Neither history, nor theology, nor the occult. I can be sure that I have definitely seen it in a book on the shelf.
I was about to go through the rest of the books, when the phone at home rang, and the caller ID was Tu Hongyu.
"Hello?"
"Are you free? Come and play with me in the afternoon."
Ann glanced at the huge bookshelves, feeling that she must not be available.
"You should be free to stay at home all day anyway."
"Unfortunately, I just happened to have something"
"Is it the world of the brave again?"
"Almost, why haven't you been online lately?"
Since the beginning of the open beta, An Yizhi has not seen Tu Hongyu go online.
"I'm busy with work, my girlfriend wants me to spend more time with her"
Not all girls are willing to play games with An Yizhi like Lin Linglin, and more naturally hope that their sweethearts will accompany them, rather than facing those data.
"In the afternoon, you bring Lin Linglin over and let's play board games together, just introduce my girlfriend to you."
"Let's wait for next time, what's so fun about your board game, I've played it many times"
Tu Hongyu loves desktop games, but compared to video games, his hobby is obviously more niche, so only An Yizhi and Lin Linglin were willing to play with him before. Besides, his family's board games are role-playing except for Monopoly, and An Yizhi has long been tired of playing crookedly.
Wait a minute, board game?
“…… You reminded me."
"Reminder of what?"
Tu Hongyu on the other side of the phone was wondering, and soon the sound of the phone hanging up came.
"Damn, hang me up if you don't agree again"
Not to mention how Tu Hongyu, who was hung up on the phone, jumped to his feet, An Yi pointed to the words in his mouth and threw himself on the bookshelf, looking at the names on each spine seriously.
"Board Game...... Board game, I actually forgot about it...... Ha! Got it! ”
He found one of the novels in the category, which read:
"Murmur of the Night" - Howard. Philip. By Lovecraft.
"That's right, this is it, l'aShub-Niggurath...... The black goat of the forest that gave birth to thousands of children and grandchildren...... Shabu? Nicholas, sure enough, so that the mark should be the old one."
Shabu? Nicholas first appeared in the novel Murmur of the Night, and later a series of works by the master of horror literature, affectionately known as the Crafts by Celestial enthusiasts, and other novels using this premise were adapted into the famous COCTRPG
"Is Olivia's enemy an outer god?"
Thinking of Shabu? Nicholas's image is described, and Ann feels creepy at the finger.
A huge lump of flesh like a black cloud, with many tentacles and a large mouth dripping with slime.
There is no thriller element in the matter! Why do you want to add such a scary thing!
"But there is no official news...... Could it be a new expansion that hasn't been released yet? ”
This is the most likely, and Ann speculates that after the current expansion 'Invasion from the Abyss' is over, it will be the turn of the Old Rulers.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
After lunch, Ann Yizhi logged into the game again.
[Growth dungeon, the fall of the Demon King City is completed]
[Main quest completion: 100%]
[Side quest completion: 0%]
[Hidden Side Quest Completion: 100%]
[Experience: 35000]
[Game currency: 3000]
[Skill Points: 2]
[An item that matches the player's level will be drawn and sent to the player's dimensional pocket, please check]
Settlement rewards are easy to pick!
With the bonus of the double dungeon experience card, it's only 30,000 5 experience, don't be so picky!
Because he died once, An Yizhi fell back to level 14, but with the experience of dungeon settlement, it is basically equivalent to no level drop. 15 levels of 16 require 66,000 XP, and the XP bar is still far from leveling up.
He originally thought that the high experience point reward of the growth dungeon should allow him to upgrade to a level, but he didn't expect that the experience gain was only limited compared to the high point of the ordinary dungeon.
Ignoring the in-game currency reward convention, he casually points skills to skills, so that all the upgradeable skills he has learned are all LV2.
The biggest gain of this growth dungeon is the pages of the two Book of the Dead and the A-grade Dark Lord's gaze, and the item grade greatly exceeds An Yizhi's expectations.
Sure enough, it's a copy of the growth of every inch of land......
He sighed, opened the leaderboard and found that he had jumped into the top 100. This promotion speed is simply faster than a rocket, which shows the value of the Dark Lord's gaze.
But his actual combat effectiveness is far from reaching such a high level, he is now very similar to the previous invincible brave, no one can stop the ultimate move, and he will stop when he runs out.
An Yizhi is even worse than the invincible of the brave, the power of the dragon soul of the other people is only weak when he is used up, and the gaze of the Dark Demon King needs to die once every time he can upgrade to the blue bar that is enough for him to consume, or it won't be long before he dies back below level 10......
Opening the dimensional pocket, Hela flew out of it and pecked him angrily. Locked up inside for a long time, Miss Hela already had an opinion. After all, Hela has been unconscious all the time in the dungeon, so you can't fight with her, right?
Throwing a few cheap gems, Hela, who was still angry just now, instantly turned her anger into joy.
The settlement reward is an excellent-level leather armor with okay attributes, not much to say. Ann pointed out that he couldn't meet the equipment requirements, so he threw it in the corner of his pocket along with the excellent-level flame decapitator, thinking that he would post a trade on the forum when he went offline to see if anyone was willing to trade something like magic skills.
The game's built-in forum feature only allows browsing, not posting, after all, the time ratio is different.
Now the most lively topic on the forum is naturally Skeletron, and various analysis posts are endless. Some of them make sense, and most of the rest are pure. By the way, some people also told the reason why Skeletron besieged the city of Amen.
An Yizhi silently closed the webpage when he saw the full screen of condemnation, and he must be careful not to be discovered before using the Salamander's Engraved Book next time.
Of course, there is a solution, since I can't beat it, I can't hide it.
The Overworld is not the only city in Amen, so it's a big deal to run to other cities. Currently, the means of movement between cities in the game are horse-drawn carriages, flying ships, and teleportation arrays.
That's right, flying ships, sailing ships powered by magical powers.
The use of teleportation arrays requires a special quota, and even if you can afford it, those who are not qualified are not allowed to use it. In contrast, flying boats have a much lower threshold and are cheaper.
He had already inquired, and two days later, a flying ship came to Yamen City, and he could take it to Lin Linglin's city.
I don't believe you'll be able to catch up with the flying ship!
As for now...... Or platoon copies.
