Chapter 258 Mechanism Loophole
Petwain figured out why those who participated in the Hunting of the Moon, including descendants of nobles, adventurers, mercenaries, and even loners, all came to Xiwei Territory.
This involves a mechanical vulnerability in the Hunting Moon.
According to the decree promulgated by the king, the statistics and awards for the hunting month are not all the gains made in the entire month of September, but the "highest performance in a single time."
It starts from the time when the participants lose the protection of [Past Glory] and leave the border, and ends when they return to the kingdom.
The number of trophies that can be brought back from a hunt is recorded in statistics!
A whole month is given to allow participants to enter the Dark Forest multiple times and try to refresh their own records.
After all, the time you can stay in the dark forest is limited.
It may take as short as a few days or as long as 1 or 2 weeks before you must return to prevent being contaminated by evil spirits that are too serious.
But this is a reward rule formulated on the premise that there is no civilized territory in the dark forest.
The emergence of several territories of the Qiuzhi Church happened to have a key BUG!
After leaving the border, people participating in the Hunting Moon activities can use Xiwei Territory as their temporary resting place.
The contamination of evil gods in civilized territories will be weakened.
Pet Twain could clearly feel that the depressed and lethargic feeling disappeared when he stepped into Xiwei Territory!
There is no need to go back to the border camp, and there is no need to worry about excessive pollution accumulation after staying in the dark forest for a long time.
The original "single highest record" directly became the "cumulative record"!
If you want to pursue the limit, everyone can stay in the dark forest until the last day of the hunting month, and turn all the gains during this period into a "highest record."
…
Pet Twain perked up.
His brother has hired these teams, which shows that they must be capable, and at least they can turn their propaganda into some reality.
Isn’t that just spending money to hire people?
He's good at this.
The dozen or so gold coins he stole from home must be more money than what his brothers and sisters brought!
Using the ribbon in his luggage to make a simple mask for himself to cover his face, Pet Twain left and returned, and began to search for suitable employment targets among the crowd near the entrance of the territory:
Some claim to be able to kill at least 3 level 2 monsters every day;
It is said that the three professions of mage, priest, and ranger in the team are complete, have comprehensive functions, and can deal with any danger.
It is said that the main focus is on destroying level 1 monsters. There is a medium-sized nest with more than 200 level 1 monsters. It is expected to take 10 days to complete the eradication, ensuring that the final blow of all monsters is given to him, so that Pet Twain can create A record of killing more than 200 monsters.
When registering achievements in the Hunting Moon, the trophies need to be verified by impartial magic. It is not enough to buy monsters killed by others and pass them off as your own. The attack that kills the monster must be done by the registrant himself.
The more Pet Twain listened, the more dumbfounded he became.
Not only does it promise a lot of results, the asking price is also very low!
This is how the market price is reduced.
For example, for the Clover team from before, Pet Twain noticed that they had negotiated an employment deal with another young man he didn't know. He only needed 2 gold coins to hire them for a whole day!
The two sides agreed to meet and set off here early the next morning.
His original plan was to hire someone to bring him back a few level 0 monsters for 1 gold coin, and he would accept it.
He heard that this was also the market price for hiring a 5-person mercenary team in previous years.
Now 2 gold coins can be exchanged for a guaranteed record of killing 4 second-level monsters?
Pet Twain thought it was too cheap!
Walking around in the open space, Pet Twain finally picked a team named [Dark Blue].
Their hiring fee was also 2 gold coins per day. After Petwain asked, the other party said that as long as he had suitable weapons, he would be guaranteed to provide him with at least 3 second-level monsters for him to destroy every day.
Pet Twain has never really fought a monster. According to what the captain of the Deep Blue team described to him, the monster will be beaten to a dying state and will not be able to resist. As long as he makes up for the last blow, it will be fine.
The original plan of waiting for his friends at the border camp was completely forgotten by Pet Twain.
joke.
He has already left the border, and according to the rules of the Hunting Moon, his achievements will be recorded.
Going back to pick up friends means returning to the kingdom, which counts as one settlement. His "gain" during this period was wasted.
If he stays here in Xiwei Territory for one more day, he will be able to save one more day's worth of loot, and he might be able to create a record-breaking number of kills in the end!
"Where should I wait for you? Right here? Can you capture the monsters and let me kill them?" Pet Twain asked expectantly.
The captain of the dark blue team is a middle-aged man with a very strong figure. He carries a dark green kite-shaped shield on his back. He is dressed as a warrior. From the aura revealed by the other party, Pei Twain can vaguely feel that this person must be stronger than him. Quite a few.
At least he is a level 2 warrior!
Dark Blue’s captain glanced at Pei Twain slightly strangely:
"Why wait? Tomorrow you will go into the dark forest with us."
"We'll take you deeper into the Dark Forest."
"How can we go to the trouble of bringing back a level 2 monster?"
Pettwain was immediately dumbfounded.
"No, wait a minute, I want to go into the dark forest with you?!"
"What should I do if something goes wrong? What if I encounter some dangerous high-level monster?"
But the other party was unusually calm:
"Don't worry! Nothing will go wrong!"
"We have figured out the areas where level 2 monsters are densely populated, and now even the routes are fixed."
"You just hide far away, and when we hit the appropriate level 2 monsters until they are half dead, you can just do the last-ditch attack."
"This is what everyone does now!"
"Even if something goes wrong, you don't have to worry about us."
"We will help you stop the monster even if we risk our lives, so you can just run away."
Petty Twain was doubtful: "Is everyone like this?"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, ask other teams or other people."
I remembered that my brother had hired a team before.
And everyone else regards this method as a conventional rule.
Pet Twain gritted his teeth and agreed.
If he gets timid now and says that he doesn't dare to follow into the depths of the dark forest to search, wouldn't it appear that he is very timid?
These guys can stably destroy level 2 monsters, so they must have the corresponding strength.
He believed them once.
Since his brother can do it, if Pet Twain wants to prove that he is better and special than his brother, he can definitely do it.
"Okay! It's settled then!"
"Let's meet here tomorrow morning!"
The middle-aged captain looked at Pet Twain and suddenly reminded him:
"By the way, Your Excellency."
"If possible, I suggest you get a suitable weapon in Xiwei."
"The sword you are carrying... I'm afraid it won't be enough to attack level 2 monsters."
