Chapter 115 Hidden Mission, Map Update
Death Arena.
On the third day, Gu Chen's second round of battle came as scheduled.
As the energy spirit patterns on the floor of the room were lit up, Gu Chen was teleported to the giant sword arena on the second floor of the ladder.
This time the opponent is an alien warrior carrying a weapon.
It has blue and white striped skin, and its two huge eyes resemble the ET aliens in science fiction movies. It has a thin body and holds a ring-shaped weapon with jagged edges in each hand.
Through analysis and scanning, Gu Chen obtained the other party's information.
【Three shots】:
Hunting Level: 24
Target introduction: A member of the Yicong tribe, from Ci Mei Island in the Cangxing Sea. He is one of the few remaining warriors of the Yicong tribe.
……
After reading the analysis information, Gu Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the guide analysis, although the probability of encountering strong enemies in the early stage is low, it is not impossible.
But this alien with hunting level 24 was obviously not among the strong. He felt that he had a high probability of winning this battle.
As Mannu's voice sounded in the sky, the restriction bracelet was automatically lifted.
This time Gu Chen learned his lesson wisely and decisively summoned his powerful ax to attack Sanshe.
The characteristic ability is activated, and the golden ax blade is coated with a layer of light blue energy. This is the characteristic blessing of the broken knife.
"Kill!"
He roared to encourage himself, and suddenly slashed down on Sanshe with his powerful ax.
bite!
The sound of metal clashing sounded, and weapons collided. With the blessing of inherited attributes, Gu Chen knocked back three shots and slid three meters away in one blow.
Feeling Gu Chen's power, Sanshe looked very nervous, obviously realizing that he had encountered an opponent whose power completely suppressed him.
Seeing this scene, the family and friends in the live broadcast room cheered and cheered.
A new round of confrontation began.
In terms of technique, Gu Chen still didn't have any advantage and was completely beaten one-sidedly.
But he has an absolute advantage in terms of physical strength. Both the Brutal Ax and the Broken Knife are at level 25. With the blessing of the dual life soul attribute, he can knock back three shots in every round of collision, which shocked him. numb.
In less than three minutes of fighting, Gu Chen turned into a bloody man, with wounds cut by the ring all over his body.
The condition of the three shots is not much better.
He tried to dodge but found that his speed was not as good as the opponent's. Every time the ax struck, he could only choose to parry and then counterattack.
The tiger's mouth cracked in the successive collisions, his forearms could not stop shaking, and strong fear appeared in his eyes.
Breathing rhythm becomes rapid under the influence of emotions.
But what followed was a hysterical offensive. He danced the zigzag circle so tightly that it was airtight, constantly creating deep wounds on Gu Chen's chest and arms.
During this process, Gu Chen was smart enough to protect his neck, head, and other fatal parts.
As long as his key parts are not severely damaged, he will have enough energy to continue fighting and wear out his opponent to death in the ring.
The battle lasted until the 9th minute. Gu Chen seized the opportunity and decisively switched the inherited broken sword life soul to the level 1 rapid life soul.
Feeling weak as his physical fitness was weakened, Gu Chen took a few steps forward and suddenly raised his powerful ax to strike at Sanshe's neck.
Already familiar with Gu Chen's attack rhythm, he was about to put up a parrying posture with three shots, but he had no time to defend against the sudden acceleration of the offensive. His heart was instantly filled with fear, and he subconsciously exclaimed:
"Ah!"
Click!
Blood splattered everywhere, and his head flew away and landed on the arena.
"Oh my god, I'm so exhausted."
Gu Chen, who was exhausted, used his wild ax to support his body, glanced at the headless three shots, and then couldn't help but retching:
"How about it be so real... Fortunately, I won."
The battle ended at this moment, Mannu's voice sounded in the sky, and space spiritual patterns appeared on the ground.
After the feeling of weightlessness passed, Gu Chen returned to the room.
He looked up and looked out the window and found that the scenery outside had changed again. The giant sword arena turned into a flame arena, burning around the arena.
The area of the room was expanded again. In addition to the wooden bed, there was an additional table with a lot of food placed on it.
Sitting on the ground and gasping for breath, Gu Chen glanced at the space spirit patterns on the ground.
While waiting, Mannu’s cold voice sounded:
"2 wins in the arena, the ancient god blessed two low martial soul beads, and there is 69 hours and 39 minutes of rest time left (the translation time is hours)"
The space spirit pattern on the ground lit up, and two low martial soul beads emerged from it.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen's live broadcast room suddenly exploded.
Two low martial arts beads equaled 4268 sacrificial power points. In two duels, Gu Chen had already earned 6402 sacrificial power points.
This is much more profitable than having a blast in the Imperial Tomb Mountains.
Putting the Low Martial Spirit Pearl into his space bag, Gu Chen couldn't help laughing and gave a thumbs up to the camera.
"Beast, bastard, first I took in a second-generation Yuanchu, and then there was a hidden mission. Why can't I get this benefit? My teeth are almost broken. I can't live this life. They are all players. Why? The benefits are all yours.”
"Please, let him meet the big boss in the third round. I'm not staying in the live broadcast room just to watch him earn sacrifices. I just want to see him come back and live a poor life with us. I don't want him to do it again. If he continues to earn like this, according to this reward increase, I am afraid he will have to give three stars for victory in the third round. This is 6402 points of sacrifice. I will not allow him to earn like this!”
"No, you won so easily in the second round? It feels even easier than the first round. Is this how you please the ancient god?"
"Please Ancient God, quickly arrange for him a strong opponent who can slap his head away. The opponent in the next round is still so weak, I...I will come to the live broadcast room to spray."
< br>
"You're going too far, Dog War. We agreed to take a vacation on the Caimu Coast. Look what you did behind our backs. You must have used a sack to hold the money. Hurry up and send out another red envelope on the guild channel. I'm about to be taken away. You are so angry.”
……
After drinking five bottles of healing potion in succession, the injuries on his body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then he took out a bottle of physical recovery potion and drank it in one sip. His heartbeat suddenly slowed down and the soreness in his muscles gradually dissipated.
After the level increased, Gu Chen found that the number of healing potions needed to repair injuries was increasing.
This is related to the growth of the health bar value. The healing potion restores a fixed amount of health points.
If this trend continues, primary healing potions will no longer be able to meet the needs for healing in the future, and more expensive intermediate healing potions or advanced healing potions will need to be purchased in the mall.
However, with this round of victory, he made a lot of money, so he naturally wouldn't feel bad about the loss of medicine.
Looking at the live broadcast room where the screen was still wailing, Gu Chen grinned, then switched to the guild chat channel and sent a lucky red envelope of 888 points of sacrifice:
"Stop scolding me. I have the advantage of not being able to do without you."
Suddenly the curses on the guild's voice channel turned into blessings, and the brothers behaved sincerely.
Standing up, Gu Chen came to the space teleportation array and asked:
"Hey, can you hear me? Can I apply in advance to start the third round of fighting?"
When he found that Man Nu was silent, he raised his legs and stepped on the teleportation array.
The three-day rest period seemed to him too long, and being locked in a room was extremely boring. He could only pass the time by browsing forums and voice chatting. Having recovered, he wanted to start the next round of battle in advance.
The intensity of the battle in the subsequent rounds would increase significantly, and he felt that it would be difficult to continue with his own strength.
It would be better to face it earlier. He doesn't need any mental preparation, he can just do it.
He asked several times in succession, during which he kept tapping the space spirit pattern on the ground.
Mannu’s voice finally sounded:
"Do you want to start the third round of competition in advance?"
"That's right."
"As you wish."
After Man Nu's emotionless voice, the spiritual patterns on the ground lit up.
After the strong feeling of weightlessness, Gu Chen appeared on the flame arena.
Looking up, the opponent has arrived early.
It is nearly two meters tall, with a burly build and muscles as carved from rock. Its naked upper body is engraved with complex spiritual patterns and totems. On its left arm is a ferocious beast totem that looks up and roars, and on its right arm is a six-winged beast. The winged bird totem gives off an aura of calmness and authority when standing there.
At this time, he was looking at him up and down with his dark green eyes, and then he opened his mouth to reveal a row of jet black teeth, biting them gently with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"Guide, what does this mean? Can you translate it for me?" Gu Chen was immediately confused.
[All incomprehensible provocations can be understood as scolding you. 】
Gu Chen:......
"It makes sense, let's see if I don't beat him to death."
After the words fell, Liman Ax was suspended in the air, his analytical ability was activated, and the other party's introduction information poured into his mind.
【Shagugu】:
Hunting Level: 41
Target introduction: A member of the "Hai Sha Clan", a powerful clan in the Shenmu sea area, with extremely rich combat experience on land and sea.
……
Seeing that the opponent's hunting level has reached level 41, he also has extremely rich combat experience.
The arrogance on Gu Chen's face disappeared instantly.
This is a high-end game!
Although he had the blessing of dual life soul attributes, he knew that he relied on attributes to defeat the previous two victories.
Facing an opponent whose attributes were higher than his own and who completely crushed him in combat skills, he had no chance of winning.
Just as Gu Chen expected, he was completely suppressed at the beginning of this battle. He was kicked and broke several ribs in one confrontation. It ended in a tragic defeat and his soul returned to Dizhong Village. When a large number of players watching in the live broadcast room saw this scene, they all posted comments to celebrate and express their welcome home.
At this time, Qi Sheng, who was at the altar of Yuanchu, was also watching Gu Chen's performance in the arena.
After seeing Gu Chen being killed, an idea came to his mind.
Why not help players enter the arena and collect the rewards issued by the ancient gods.
This method is completely feasible in conception.
In fact, before this, he had considered launching arena-related features.
The purpose is to create a virtual space similar to the setting of a MOBA game, where players can hone their combat skills and enhance their combat awareness through matching and confrontation.
But after thinking deeply about this idea, he thought it was not feasible.
After all, Monster World is not a real game. Creating a virtual space for ladder competitions severely squeezes the time players have to hunt monsters and slows down the development and growth of players.
Between the improvement of combat skills and the improvement of strength, it is obviously the improvement of strength that is more important.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Even if players have no skills, they can still suppress their enemies' attributes through rapid growth.
No matter how strong your fighting skills are, they are still vulnerable to absolute power.
After comprehensive consideration, he clarified the pros and cons of creating a virtual arena, and he gave up this setting.
But after the appearance of the Ancient God Arena, his mind changed.
In his opinion, this is simply an arena tailor-made for players.
Players can hone their skills in it, and the ancient gods will give them the sacrifices needed for growth. They can get double benefits without spending any money.
It is simply a gift from nature.
In the future, groups of players will be sent to the arena. If they lose, there will be no loss. If they win, they can get their wool back.
More importantly, in order to achieve multiple wins, the importance of skill improvement will be magnified among the player base.
As for the situation in the Ancient God Arena, he had a rough understanding of it through guidance analysis.
This is a special place where descending forces harvest the power of fighting souls through fights between fighters.
Every dead warrior will be pulled by the power that envelopes the arena island into the soul refining furnace under the island, and will eventually be made into martial soul beads, which is the reward Gu Chen gets when he wins his first victory.
With each victory, the rewards will be significantly improved.
If the player can win more than five times, each victory will receive a high-spirited soul bead given by the ancient gods, and one can advance the player to the first level of forging.
In this regard, he asked the guide to calculate through big data. Based on the average strength of the players at this stage, they can only achieve one win at most.
If you are the best among players, three wins is almost the limit, and depending on luck, you may reach four wins.
As for reaching five wins, the probability is very low.
At the five-win stage, every opponent you encounter in the future is a warrior with extremely rich combat experience or outstanding personal abilities.
Players have neither technical nor attribute advantages against them.
But this issue is not important to Qi Sheng.
After all, players' strength grows rapidly, and they will surely be able to climb higher in the arena in the future, win more victories, and bring more sacrifice benefits.
Thinking of this, Qi Sheng turned to look at the guide floating beside him:
"Guide, the player's soul cannot be extracted from the soul refining pool under the arena, will it be discovered?"
Face-to-face inquiry, guidance and shaking of the head:
[This is a "death soul-draining array" that covers a wide range. During its operation, it does not pay attention to the death of a single arena warrior and whether he has been soul-drained, so the probability of being discovered is very low. 】
"There is another question. Will the life-and-death duel between players in the arena generate the fighting spirit power that the ancient gods need?"
[Yes, the power of the fighting spirit is not drawn from the player, but from the player's combat behavior and the willpower state during combat. 】
[Using the case of the earth era before you traveled through time to explain, it can be understood that this is a virtual mining behavior, that is, by calculating the process of producing virtual currency, the physical strength and mental strength of both parties in the battle can be classified as Graphics cards of different qualities, the higher the intensity, the better the computing performance of the graphics card, and the act of fighting is to promote calculations. According to the logical questions given by the world rules "Fighting Soul", the answer is obtained through fighting, and this answer is the output of the fighting. Soul power. 】
[As for the importance of willpower, it can be understood as the energy that drives the operation of the graphics card. If the energy is too little, even if the life intensity of both parties is high, the power of fighting souls cannot be effectively generated. Therefore, the Ancient God Arena requires fighters to maintain high fighting spirit and mortality. determination. 】
[As for the battle victory rewards given by the ancient gods, they not only help the warriors repair their bodies damaged during the battle, but also provide spiritual comfort, preventing the warriors from being unable to bear the pressure and choosing to die. This is undoubtedly a loss for the ancient gods. 】
"So, players fighting in the arena can also bring benefits to the ancient gods."
[Yes, but it cannot be compared with other fighters. First of all, in terms of willpower, players do not have the will to accept death. They always have a retreat in their hearts to return to Dizhong Village, which makes their fighting will much weaker... Of course, I'm not talking about all players, there must be some players who have extremely high fighting will. 】
[The second is the collection of soul power. This is a cyclical system. Fighters who are strengthened through soul beads will also have their soul strength increased. After death, they will re-enter the soul refining pool and be made into soul beads. After I Analytical calculations show that the loss is 32.7%, but the loss of the Soul Beads given to players is 100%, that is, for every expenditure given to players, the Ancient Gods can only obtain the power of the fighting spirit, but cannot recover the spent Soul Beads. . 】
[To sum up, while players are harvesting the wool of the Ancient Gods, they can also bring benefits to the Ancient Gods, but the benefits are not much. 】
In Qi Sheng's opinion, the guidance analysis is actually a good thing.
If a player enters the arena and only asks for it, but cannot produce fighting spirit power, the Ancient Gods will naturally discover the abnormality over time.
At that time, it will be difficult for players to enter the Ancient God Arena again, and they will inevitably be blacklisted.
Only those who can bring certain benefits to the Ancient God Clan can prevent the truth from being discovered and the wool can be harvested for a long time.
Confirming that this method was feasible, Qi Sheng began to think about how to transport players to the arena in batches.
Gu Chen went to the Death Arena, one of the three major arenas of the Ancient Gods. The specific location was an island in the central area of the Ghost Sea, adjacent to the Cangxing Sea and to the north.
The center is separated by a slowly expanding Kuroshio area, and the straight-line distance from the Aigiri Coast reaches 9,495 kilometers.
If players don't want to reach this distance without an aircraft, it will take a lot of energy and they will encounter various dangers along the way.
Therefore, the solution of identifying the map coordinates and allowing players to go there by themselves is definitely not feasible.
After the idea of building a space teleportation array emerged in his mind, he shook his head.
This idea didn't seem feasible to him either.
The sacrifice power consumed to create a stable space teleportation array is not important. What is important is that the stable space teleportation array has the possibility of being destroyed, unless a part of the space is divided like the Colorful Mist Coast.
But now the space between Aigiri Coast and Teizuka Village seems a bit congested, and there is not much space to divide it.
There is not enough sacrifice power to divide and create new space nodes.
So, how to help players get to the Ancient God Arena?
At this moment, he looked at the guide floating beside him:
"Guide, do you have any good ideas?"
Facing the inquiry, the guide fell into deep thought. After a brief silence, an exclamation point appeared in the upper right corner of the water ball:
[Boss, is this okay? I can mark the aircraft that capture fighters in various sea areas on the map used by players, so that players can see the specific location of the aircraft when they open the map. nearby players can actively approach the aircraft to Get captured on your way to the arena. 】
After listening to the guidance, Qi Sheng smiled:
"It's feasible, very feasible. In this way, the arena aircraft in the player's eyes becomes a mobile sign that triggers hidden tasks. As long as it is touched, it can be sent to the arena to participate in the fight and obtain rewards."
"Just do as you say. When the aircraft enters the Cangxing Sea, you will put a moving mark on the map."
[No problem, boss. 】
After discussing possible solutions, Qi Sheng released the latest game tips:
[Challenger Tips (all channels): Players "fight endlessly" trigger the hidden plot of the Ancient God Arena and unlock special rewards: all players obtain the coordinates of the arena aircraft. 】
Function introduction: Players open the map and can view the specific coordinates of the aircraft entering the Cangxing Sea Area (movement updated in real time)
Tip: After approaching the arena aircraft, players have a chance of being sent to the death arena to participate in a life-and-death duel. Each victory will receive generous rewards (rewards will continue to increase as the number of wins increases)
……
After hearing the game prompts, players turned on the map function one after another.
Players in the Colorful Mist Coast area can clearly see three arena aircraft sailing rapidly in the Blue Star Sea.
"Damn, this aircraft is moving too fast. According to the scale of the map, it is impossible to catch up. I wonder why it is so difficult to please the ancient gods (eating dirt and turning the table.jpg)"
"As expected of a hidden mission, the probability of encountering it is too low. It is easier to encounter the God of Wealth in the hidden plot of the Emperor's Tomb Mountains. Unfortunately, the God of Wealth has already distributed the rewards and returned to the Against the Tide Legion. I don't know when the next time will come. I hope It’s great that I can be selected to go to the training camp, and the fitness levels of the Brick-moving Team have soared.”
"It's said to be a hidden mission. You can't encounter it easily. However, despite the extremely fast speed of the aircraft, you can actually judge the general direction based on the flight trajectory, and then buy a smoke bomb in the mall to see if it can attract the aircraft. If you can be caught, It’s great, the reward for winning three games is higher than a physical training level.”
"Friends from the human race, offer 21 points of sacrificial power at a ratio of 190. You can chat privately to establish long-term cooperation."
"I really want to go. It's like picking up money. In my opinion, the difficulty of winning is not high. Unless I'm very unlucky, with my average soul level of 29 and my strength of level 3 forging, I can't win three. Win, this opportunity to get rich is right in front of you, but it’s a pity that I don’t know how to get there... No, I have to try to intercept the aircraft, I want to please the ancient god!”
……
In the eyes of the various races in the sea, being captured means death in the terrifying arena, but it has become a hidden mission in the eyes of players.
As long as the plot is triggered, you can be sent to the arena to participate in competitive trials with rich rewards.
The chats of human players on the regional channel also make the players of the gill fish clan and Yuan fish clan extremely envious.
They all watched the recent arena live broadcast that caused a sensation in the forum.
Knowing that there is such a good place to make money makes my eyes red.
They are currently at a low level and cannot earn income as quickly as the human players who entered the game first.
The income of more than 2,100 sacrificial power points from one victory was comparable to getting rich in their eyes.
But they also clearly understand that with their current life soul level, even if they run into a hidden mission, going to the arena will cost others a life.
The most important thing is that the slaves in the arena may not necessarily like them and are unwilling to take them to the arena.
This arena event gave the players of the Gill Fish Tribe and Yuan Fish Tribe a strong motivation for growth.
Many players who were originally exchanging sacrifice power for cash have begun to prioritize improving their own strength.
Only if you are strong can you earn more sacrificial rewards in the future.
