Chapter 4 Choice
[End of the battle]
[You have activated the combat specialty: Basic Fighting Level 1. 】
【You have activated combat expertise: basic equipment level 1. 】
Finally obtained combat expertise, although it is only the most basic level 1.
Bai Pu let out a breath. There was still a big gap between him and those well-prepared testers. Trialists generally have trained at least one combat specialty to the basic level 5, and can advance to the level at any time, before entering the spirit world to start the trial.
[Based on your spirit, you obtained some information about those who died from the plague. 】
[Deadly Plague (Normal Level 1)]
[Race: Humanoid/Aberration]
[Attributes: Strength 6, Agility 5, Stamina 7, Spirit 3】
[Skills: Claw attack, zombie body,? ? ? 】
[Claw Attack: The Death Plague attacks the enemy with its claws, causing sharp damage and adding mild bleeding and corpse poison effects. 】
[Zombie Body: Passive, the body of the plagued person is stiff, movement speed -2 (equivalent to the movement speed brought by 2 points of agility), basic armor +4 (equivalent to 4 points of stamina band) base armor value), immune to bleed effects. 】
Bai Pu suddenly realized, no wonder it took so much effort to fight. This guy's endurance is 7 points, which means he has 70 health points. The passive effect of the zombie body is +4 basic armor, which is equivalent to 11 points of armor, which is equivalent to a small human shield.
Fortunately, the passive of [Zombie Body] reduces the movement speed by 2 points, otherwise with the 5 points of agility of the plague-dead man, he would definitely be able to catch up with the injured Bai Pu.
If Bai Pu doesn't have time to take care of himself, it will be difficult for Bai Pu to lead the dead to the trap position.
A slightly illusory white treasure box is suspended above the corpse of the dead.
“The treasure box dropped!” Bai Pu was delighted. When the monster in the spirit world dies, the probability of the treasure box dropping is not high.
This Death Plague is not difficult to deal with. It should be just an ordinary mob. It actually dropped a loot chest. I am really lucky.
Bai Pu presses the treasure chest and directly chooses to open it.
There was a crashing sound of gold coins, and between the flashes of white light, six white cards were neatly arranged in two rows, suspended in front of Bai Pu. The backs of the cards were facing Bai Pu, and the fronts could not be seen.
[You gained 12 power points. 】
【You have the opportunity to draw loot cards. The current number of draws is: 2. 】
Here comes the legendary card draw!
Bai Pu has seen videos of some Awakened anchors drawing cards, and is no stranger to this. He first walked around half a circle and glanced at the front of the card. He found that the front of the card was covered with a layer of white mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
No wonder the Awakener anchor didn’t look at the front when drawing cards.
Bai Pu did not hesitate anymore and directly clicked on the first card on his left hand.
Wow!
The light flashed, the cards flipped, and the picture finally settled on a thick and short stick-like object.
[You have obtained equipment: Smooth Bone Hammer. 】
Equipment is out! And it’s a relatively valuable weapon!
Bai Pu was delighted and immediately went to check the attributes of the equipment.
[Smooth Bone Mallet (Encapsulated)]
[Quality: Ordinary (White)]
[Equipment Position: One Hand]
[Equipment requirements: Basic strength 4]
[Attribute: Attack power 1~4]
[Additional skills: Silky: Passive, when using this equipment to attack, the shooting speed is +3 (equivalent to The shooting speed brought by 3 points of agility)]
[Durability: 18/20]
[Description: A bone hammer made from the mutated bones of the remains of the dead, strong and durable . 】
Bai Pu felt that he was really lucky. He held the end of the bone mallet and felt that it felt silky and smooth, like ivory. The handle with a convex shape at the end could effectively prevent slipping and prevent it from falling off.
[Tip: This equipment is in an encapsulated state. If you want to use it, you need to open the encapsulation to complete the psychic resonance. 】
【Warning: Turning on the package will make the equipment unable to be used by others. 】
【Do you want to enable packaging? 】
Bai Pu chose yes without hesitation. With a flash of white light, the psychic resonance was completed. When Bai Pu held the bone mallet, he felt a blood connection, as if the bone mallet was an extension of his arm.
The second loot card dropped is a blood sample.
[Mutated blood sample of the plague-dead person: unknown item. Please find relevant professionals for identification. 】
After completing two card draws, the remaining 4 white cards, together with the white treasure box below, turned into a stream of light smoke-like particles and dissipated between the sky and the earth.
Bai Pu stood up and felt some numbness and itching in his chest. He looked down and saw that there was purple swelling in the places scratched by the victims of the epidemic.
"The claws of the plague victims contain toxins..." Bai Pu frowned. Fortunately, the bleeding effect has ended, his health is slowly recovering, and the scars on his chest do not affect his actions.
He could only continue to move forward, looking for villages and towns where aboriginal people lived, and there might be a way to detoxify them by then.
Crashing——
The sound of water came. Bai Pu looked up and saw a dark river, and he suddenly became energetic.
"This is Europe in the 17th century. Human towns relied on rivers to exist! Walking along the river, you have a greater chance of encountering indigenous people." Bai Pu identified the direction of the water flow and walked downstream of the river. .
After walking for about an hour, the trees along the way gradually became more lush, and we could see deserted plots of land between plains and valleys, which seemed to be abandoned farmland.
From the entrance of the valley ahead, there was a faint sound of shouting for battle. Bai Pu was startled for a moment, quickly climbed up the outer ridge, bent his head and looked around.
A dozen militiamen wearing simple leather armor were fighting, wielding weapons such as dung forks and sickles.
There are four enemies in total.
Three of them were plague victims, similar in appearance to the one Bai Pu defeated before. They were all shambling and their clothes were dirty and tattered.
The last enemy of the militiamen was obviously a lot thicker than the plague dead. His two arms were especially thick, with muscles as knotted as old tree trunks.
This guy is also wearing a helmet, and there is a bloody ring mark on the breastplate. He brandished a heavy iron hammer with barbs. A militiaman who looked like a captain was hit and immediately vomited blood and was thrown away. He was obviously seriously injured.
Obviously the militiamen have the numerical advantage, but in front of the "Iron Hammer", they are absolutely weak! After the militia captain was seriously injured, the militiamen retreated.
The sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and a knight was rushing towards the battlefield. This knight's armor and jersey have the same bloody ring mark.
"Good guy... I feel like this iron hammer is enough to kill all the militiamen, not to mention the three dead plagues. The knights coming from a distance seem to be in the same group as the iron hammer. ?”
The reminder of the will of the spiritual world suddenly came.
[Main Mission I: Choice]
[Objective: Help the Blood Ring Hammer Squad to eliminate the Branden Militia, or help the Branden Militia eliminate the Blood Ring Hammer Squad. 】
[Task difficulty: B]
[Task period: 12 hours. 】
[Task reward: Join the Blood Ring Fortress/Join the Branden Territory. 】
[Penalty for failure: Exile. All psychic items obtained in this plane, including equipment, props, and psychic points, will be deleted. 】
【Warning! ! If you fail the main mission, you will be exiled to the turbulence of time and space. 】
【It has been detected that you are performing a trial mission. If the main mission fails, it will be deemed as a trial mission failure, and the failure penalty will be modified to the trial mission failure penalty: expulsion. You will be expelled back to the real world, and the difficulty of the next trial task will be increased by an additional 30%, but the reward will not be increased. 】
【Decision countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7...】
The main mission is finally triggered!
If the main mission fails, will you be exiled to the turbulence of time and space?
Bai Pu heard that the turbulence of time and space was the punishment for countless awakened people to talk about it. Being exiled was almost equivalent to a death sentence. He doesn't want to be exiled, even if he is expelled back to the real world!
Bai Pu forced himself to calm down and began to think about the main task.
Obviously, the "Iron Hammer" is the Blood Ring Hammer, affiliated with the Blood Ring Fortress camp; those dozen militiamen are the Branden Militia, affiliated with the Branden Territory camp.
Bai Pu looked at the knight getting closer and closer, went through the mission information in his mind, and made his choice before the countdown ended. He raised his bone hammer, strode towards the battlefield, and shouted: "For Branden!"
[Tip: You chose to help Branden's militia eliminate the Blood Ring Hammer Squadron. 】
【Your reputation in Branden is +300, current reputation level: Friendly. 】
[Your reputation in Blood Ring Fortress is -300, current reputation level: hostile. 】
Yes, Bai Pu’s choice is to side with the seemingly weak Branden militia and fight against the powerful Blood Ring Heavy Hammers team!
Before Bai Pu arrived, the knight had already entered the battlefield first.
The lance was raised high, carrying a strong impact, and crashed into... the Blood Ring Hammer!
The Blood Ring Hammer was knocked high into the air and rolled several times when he landed on the ground, like an iron can that had been kicked away.
The Blood Ring Hammer stood up again after rolling a few times, shook his head, and shouted at the knight: "Traitor!"
The knight ignored him, reined in his horse and turned around , raised his lance again, and charged on horseback.
Bai Pu showed a smile.
The reason why he sided with the Branden militia was because he had calculated that this new knight must be hostile to the Blood Ring Hammer!
The reason is also very simple. The main task is called [Decision], which means "choose carefully"! This word is generally used only in dilemma situations.
In other words, in the evaluation of the will of the spirit world, whether to help the Branden Militia or the Blood Ring Hammer Squad is a dilemma. There is no option that can easily complete the task!
The auxiliary evidence is the task difficulty rating given by the will of the spirit world.
The task difficulty is level B. According to the task difficulty classification of D, C, B, A, and S, B-level tasks are considered to be of medium difficulty.
If the new knights are with the Blood Ring Hammer, the difficulty of helping the Blood Ring Hammer is too low. Bai Pu’s help is not needed at all. The Blood Ring side can easily defeat all the militiamen. Crushed to death ten times!
A mission that doesn’t even require taking action and just sit back and enjoy the results is worthy of B-level difficulty?
So, the new knight must be from the camp led by Branden. This is how the difficulty is balanced. No matter which side you choose, it will be B level difficulty.
As for why you chose Branden to lead the camp instead of Blood Ring Fortress?
The reason is very simple, it is the knight who also wears blood ring armor. The opponent was wearing a blood-ringed battle armor, and he actually belonged to the Branden camp. It was so abnormal, and there must be a story behind him that could be unearthed.
These thoughts are long to talk about, but Bai Pu's thinking time is very short, not even 0.1 seconds. He continued to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.
When the knight charged for the second time, the distance was relatively close and the acceleration was not very fast.
The Blood Ring Hammer suddenly spun in a circle, creating a whirlwind of steel! Under the sweep of energy, the knight's lance lost its accuracy. Not only did he miss him, but he was also swept up by the steel whirlwind and fell off his horse.
Bai Pu then saw clearly that the knight was tall, with round and strong thighs and a bulging iron breastplate. She turned out to be a female knight.
After landing on the ground, the female knight rolled over and jumped up nimbly, avoiding the additional smashing attack of the Blood Ring Hammer. She took off her shield from her back, drew out her stabbing sword, and spun around to stab her opponent in the face.
In the battle between these two extraordinary aborigines, Bai Pu did not think about intervening. His goal was simple, first kill the three dead people.
