Chapter 93 Monster’s IQ
On the way back to the village, Xiao Jie was thinking a lot.
I was still a little careless today. Although Marco's appearance was an accident, accidents can always happen unless something goes wrong.
There is no reason to talk about life and death. You can't just bet on luck every time you encounter an accident in the future.
Luck is the most unreliable thing. Even if you win a hundred times, it doesn't matter. As long as you lose once, the game will be over.
No, you still have to be as careful as possible in the future. You must calculate all the factors as much as possible before each action and make a plan.
But it is easier said than done. The level is too low, the understanding of the game is too little, the resources available are limited, and some accidents are unpredictable. In the end, it is impossible to play this kind of death game without taking risks.
Unless you are like Wang Kai, you will stay in the village your whole life and never go out.
All we can say is that we should do our best to obey fate.
As if feeling Xiao Jie's thoughts, I suddenly said: "Brother Feng, I don't blame you for what happened today. Who knew I might encounter Ma Kou?"
"No, this is the problem. Even if we don't know, we still have to think about it in advance. Now the resources are too few and we can only make do. When we reach a high level and reach the big map in the future, we must prepare various life-saving props. Make sure you have a way to evacuate in the event of danger.
I don’t know if this game has anything like a town recall scroll..."
In fact, when chasing the little demon before, Xiao Jie also considered the possibility of encountering enemies, but his inertial thinking made him think that except for wild dogs and corpse dogs, there was nothing in the Ginkgo Valley map that could run faster than the player. of monsters.
Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I encountered a new enemy.
He couldn't help but think of his original conversation with Wang Kai. Anything could happen in this game. Many people who thought they could increase the difficulty little by little from monsters ended up dying outside.
Xiao Jie shook his head to get rid of the uneasiness in his mind.
"Have you noticed that both Marko and the little demon who scavenge are too smart? Their way of thinking is very much like humans. This little demon even knows how to divert trouble to the east and drive away tigers and swallow wolves. It led us to Marco The purpose should be to lure players to be killed by monsters, and then pick up the players’ drops. That’s probably how the items in its bag come from.”
I wanted to become an immortal and said: "You make it sound like this. I was led to a few wild dogs by that little scavenger demon. If you hadn't saved me, I almost died. But the little scavenger demon should be just a human being. Example?"
"No, on the contrary, I think this is probably a common phenomenon, and the monsters we encountered before are just an exception."
The monsters the two of them encountered in the past were either completely brainless garbage monsters like the Soulless Walking Dead, or low-intelligence creatures like wild beasts. Although the Lost Soul Bandit has a brain, he doesn't have much. This is understandable. Soul? He definitely has no IQ.
The scarecrow is a puppet created by magic. Several demons have their minds corrupted by magic talismans and become abnormal.
So much so that Xiao Jie felt that the monsters in this game were no different from other games.
Now it seems that the monsters in this game are not brainless, but the two of them have encountered brainless monsters before, so they feel that the monsters in this game are not much different from other games.
But if you think about it, since NPCs have the same reaction capabilities and IQ as humans, it makes sense that monsters also have similar IQs.
The reason why the monsters I encountered before were relatively brainless may be because the mobs near the Novice Village were deliberately designed to be weaker monsters. Not only did their level attributes be relatively low, but their IQs were also below average.
The casualty rate of novice players is extremely high. If they were all as smart as Ma Kou and the Scavenger Demon, many would die, and not many would survive.
But once you leave Novice Village, you may not receive such good treatment. Among the monsters you will encounter in the future, Marco may be just an ordinary member of them.
Xiao Jie recounted his speculation, and I immediately screamed in surprise.
"Ah, does it mean that in the future we will treat the monsters we encounter like living people? A battle of wits and courage?"
"No, there is still a difference. Monsters have their own fixed operating logic. For example, the Mako is walking around on a horse, and the scavenger demon will be attracted by the fallen treasures. But yes, apart from these, we must treat them as We should not regard enemies who have the same intelligence as us as mindless monsters.
Especially humanoids.
Otherwise, it will overturn sooner or later.
Take the bandits for example. What we are encountering now are "lost-soul bandits". It's understandable that they are a bit stupid. But in the future, if we encounter ordinary bandits who have not lost their souls, we should pay attention. They may be attacked. It will call our companions, or set traps in advance to lure us into the bait.
They even use lies to deceive us, and then suddenly attack us when we reveal our flaws. "
I wanted to become a fairy and my scalp was numb when I heard it, "Then this is too dangerous, isn't it? It's impossible to guard against it."
"Why, are you scared? Is it so easy to gain power? Or are you planning to give up?"
"No, I won't give up. I must become a god and an immortal, and then resurrect my elder brother." I want to become an immortal but I am very firm about this.
"I won't give up either, so let's work hard together."
After returning to the village, the two of them started repairing. Xiao Jie sold all the garbage in his bag to the store for more than a thousand coins, including the copper coins dropped by the scavenging monster and the money he had saved before. He received more than 1,000 fen and gained more than 3,300 fen.
But this time he was not overjoyed. He finally realized that this little money was nothing and he would have to spend it sooner or later.
If it doesn't work, just spend some money. Now that you have an extra 500,000 in your card, it's no big deal to spend some money.
But it can still be maintained now, and the matter of krypton gold is not urgent.
After lunch and buying supplies, Xiao Jie bought another shield. The previous one was smashed to pieces by Marco. Although he has started to use the dual-sword style now, the shield is still useful at critical moments, like just now. .
When we gathered at the entrance of the village, Xiao Jie discovered that I wanted to become an immortal and bought another dog.
But he recognized this dog, his name was Scar.
He joked, "I'm an immortal, you have to take it easy this time, don't be a dead dog again."
Even though I wanted to become a fairy, I was a little embarrassed, "Stop talking about Brother Feng, I feel a little sorry for these dogs. I can't kill any more dogs this time." Two people were chatting here, and two dogs were there. We also chatted.
Scar: Meat ball? What are they talking about?
Meatball: They said that you are too weak and cannot be compared to me. They were afraid that you would be so scared that you would run around when fighting and act badly.
Scar: The master looks down on dogs so much. When the war starts later, I must let him know that I am a brave hound. Just watch.
Meatball: Okay, when the fight starts, you go first. I’ll give you more opportunities to show off and let your master know how powerful you are.
Scar: Good brother, you are worthy of living in the same nest.
Xiao Jie was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, Meatball, Meatball, you are such a dog.
"Let's go level up."
Xiao Jie waved his hand and the two of them walked out of the village.
With the experience and lessons learned from the battle between the Sanmakos, Xiao Jie became extra cautious during leveling in the afternoon. He was not greedy for experience and did not rush into anything. Everything was about safety.
At this time, Xiao Jie's experience value has reached 39%.
The three makoos are a bit fierce, but their experience points are indeed high. Each one gives more than 200 experience points, compared to a soulless walker, which only has more than ten points. How many experience points can one person get if they are divided between two people? That's all, this one Ma Kou can stand up to about twenty soulless zombies.
If you really want to level up, it would be faster to level up with Macao Killer.
But for now, let’s just kill the soulless walking corpses honestly.
The two of them wandered around the village, first killing some animals in the forest, and adding some dog food to the pets. I also used my dissection skills to dig out some materials.
Then they advanced to the area around the forest avenue and killed a circle of soulless walking zombies. After a morning, the soulless walking zombies here were refreshed, which just gave the two of them a wave of experience.
Then he ran to the hillside and killed the bandits again.
Compared with Marco's, these Lost Soul Bandits appear to be much weaker this time.
Not only was there no horse, Xiao Jie could feel that the bandit's intelligence was obviously not good, and he didn't call his companions very much. At most, he could only run away when he was low on health, but he couldn't escape at all because he was on foot.
It seems that the prefix of 'lost soul' has weakened these bandits a lot.
Unfortunately, the crows on the other side of the farmland are all descendants of those three big crows, so it is not convenient to attack them.
After practicing this round, at night, the experience value of the two of them reached over 70%.
There was almost nothing praiseworthy about this afternoon's leveling trip. The only good thing about it was safety.
Now the two of them have almost completely explored the map near the village, and they know how to get there even with their eyes closed.
Except for the occasional group of corpses, the little BOSS in the bandit camp basically didn't pose much of a threat.
Xiao Jie looked at the map. In the entire Ginkgo Valley, only the northeastern area has not yet been explored. He will upgrade to level eight tomorrow morning and set out to investigate in the afternoon.
In fact, the safest way is to reach level ten before going.
However, according to the current leveling speed, it might not take another week to reach level ten.
Although there is no specific time requirement for the task of investigating the mysterious ancient tomb, with long nights and many dreams, who knows what will change by then.
It would be bad if the mysterious man in black ran away by the time they reached level 10, or the mission was intercepted.
For just investigating, level eight is enough.
Early the next morning, the two continued to take classes, talking and laughing at first, but gradually became calmer.
Repeatedly killing monsters mechanically is never fun, not to mention that you have to stay alert while killing monsters mechanically.
At noon, the two finally reached level 8. With a flash of golden light, both of them were relieved.
"Huh, Brother Feng, let's take a rest. It's too tiring."
It would be okay if there was no death threat, but with this death threat hanging around, I dare not relax at all. Leveling up is not an ordinary torment.
"Okay, let's go back and rest for a while, then go to the ancient tomb in the afternoon."
Back to the village, all the garbage in the bag was cleared, I was full of food and drink, full of satiety, and fully prepared with supplies.
The two of them were ready to set off.
Xiao Jie warned: "Remember, if you encounter danger soon, if I shout run, run immediately. If I shout 'run with all your life', don't hesitate, activate the magic talisman and run towards the village with all your strength."
"Don't worry, Brother Feng, I will definitely obey you seriously." I want to become an immortal and I know the importance, so I answered seriously.
"Besides, we are only investigating this time and try to avoid fighting as much as possible. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Xiao Jie took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's go!"
