Chapter 4: The Betrayer's Ring
After saying goodbye to the old man, Lu Hao wandered around the village and took on a few tasks, all of which were small and trivial tasks. They were nothing more than running errands, delivering letters, or killing a few monsters.
After sending the letter for a long time, Ma Yingjie successfully reached level 4.
"Uncle, hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Standing in front of the blacksmith shop, Ma Hao said respectfully.
"Shadow, hello, my naughty child has been out for two days and hasn't come back yet. I'm so worried. I have something to do and can't leave. Can you help me find him?" said the tall and strong blacksmith anxiously.
System prompt: You have triggered the task Lost Child, do you accept?
"Okay." Your son has been missing for such a long time, and you didn't even bother to look for him. I really doubt if he was found on some mountain road.
"Little brother, is there anything you need? How can I help you?" This is an NPC child of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Brother Shadow, I am the child of a blacksmith. I lost my father's sword when I secretly went out to play two days ago. I don't dare to go home now. Can you help me get it back from the wild wolf outside the village?"
System prompt: You triggered the task of losing the iron sword, do you accept it?
Of course he accepted it. "Don't worry, little brother. I will definitely help you find it back." If this is not done, the little guy will definitely not go home, and then the task he accepted from the blacksmith will not be completed.
"Thank you, big brother. I'll wait for you here." The little guy smiled innocently and touched his head.
The tasks here are all about losing something. It seems that their memory is not very good. It should be because they had polio when they were young and didn't take good care of it.
By the way, I haven't checked my attack and defense yet, do I have any skills? Opening the panel column, Ma Yingjie's attributes were displayed.

A typical dwarf in terms of physical attacks, but his profession is a necromancer, so his great strength is useless. Before he learns skills at level 10, his leveling speed will be much slower than others. And as an intelligent necromancer, his IQ seems to be a little low.
In Blood Cry, in addition to getting five points per level, characters can also get five points of free addition when they level up. Ma Yingjie was not in a hurry to add points, because he wanted to be a fully intelligent necromancer anyway. However, some equipment required other points, and if they did not reach the required points, there would be no effect even on the equipment.
By the way, didn’t they say that I was rewarded with a magic weapon? It must be a good thing. I felt in my backpack and found a ring.
Ring of the Abandoner: Artifact, adds unlimited storage space, no weight, automatic pickup, increases physical resistance by 50%, magic resistance of all types by 50%, immunity to light magic. Comes with skill portal.
Portal: The owner can summon a portal and teleport to a designated location at will. It can also be used in combat, limited to 3 times per day.
The properties are really good, worthy of being a divine weapon, not only does it halve all kinds of damage, but it also makes you immune to light magic. You should know that what the necromancer hates most is light magic, which can cause 200% damage to himself. Now, light magic has no effect on us. Moreover, this portal is more convenient, saving a lot of return scrolls, and it is also a necessary tool for escaping when you can't win.
But why don't you give me a magical weapon that increases my attack power? My biggest weakness right now is that my damage is too low. Someone thought unsatisfiedly.
Oh my god, let this guy be struck by lightning.
Sure enough, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck a small hill not far away, with black smoke billowing out. In Blood Cry, there is a saying about heavenly punishment. If you swear an oath but fail to fulfill it, you will be punished by heaven (as for how to be punished by heaven, refer to the tribulation in the novels of cultivation).
I put the ring on my left index finger, and a sweet system prompt sounded. The artifact, the Ring of the Betrayer, cannot be terminated after it recognizes its owner. After it is bound, it cannot be dropped, stolen, or worn. This artifact only recognizes one owner in its lifetime. If the character deletes his account, the ring disappears. Is it bound?
"Bind." Ma Yingjie's excitement was beyond words. These three attributes were too great. Thanks to the system god for not being able to drop, not being able to be stolen, and not being able to wear out.
The system prompts that this artifact is unique and irreplaceable, and that one must sign a blood contract to own it.
Why bother talking so much? It's just to bleed. Ma Yingjie cut a hole in his hand. The blood dripped onto the Betrayer's Ring, making a crackling sound. Like quenching, the ring began to change color. Some strange patterns appeared on the ring. The bright color slowly faded, and finally became dull, appearing simple and mysterious.
System prompt: Dear player Shadow, you have activated the artifact Ring of the Betrayer. We will make a district-wide announcement. Would you like to display your name?
"Don't show it." Lu Hao replied immediately. Isn't this a joke? If you have good things, you must keep a low profile. Unless it's the bosses of the big guilds, who dares to let others know that they have obtained the artifact? Although it has the attribute of not being able to drop, others don't know. If others know, they will be hunted down.
System announcement: Player xxxx obtained the artifact Ring of the Betrayer.
System prompt: This ring is the first artifact ring that appears in Blood Cry. The player will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins, 10,000 reputation, and a tenth-level pet egg. We will make a district-wide announcement. Do you want to display your name?
He just chose to hide. What a joke. Showing off like this is just asking for someone to plot against him.
System announcement: Player xxx has obtained a tenth-order Hades Dragon Egg. Anything can happen in the world of Blood Cry. I hope everyone will keep up the good work.
System prompt: As the first full-level pet, you get an extra reward of 5000 gold coins and reputation.
Players who were leveling up in different novice villages were stunned when they heard these two pieces of news. It was only a short period of time, just a few hours after the server was opened, and already artifacts and mythical beasts had appeared.
The sudden system announcement stunned all the players. A team of players who were fighting a boss in the wild were killed by the boss because of this announcement.
"Damn it, who got the artifact and the beast? I wish I could get them." A tall warrior who was having a close contact with a level 10 bear monster complained indignantly. In this moment of panic, the bear monster almost gave him a bear kiss. Fortunately, the mage at the back of the team hit the bear monster with a wooden stick and killed it.
"Big Bear, wait until you can fight the giant bear monster alone before you get distracted by other things. That player just got lucky and it's not worth envying." The mage who killed the giant bear monster with a stick and saved the warrior named Big Bear joked.
"Big bear and big bear monster, if you don't know, you might think you are close relatives."
"You stinky white ape, you only know how to make fun of me." The warrior named Big Bear looked at the mage gratefully and said.
Big Bear and White Ape are professional gamers who make a living from games. They earn all their money from games. Before Blood Cry was released, they were killers in a large online game. The names of Big Bear and White Ape are as famous as the breeze and drizzle in Gu Long's novels.
Of course, Ma Yingjie didn't know all this. When he heard the system prompt, he quickly looked at his backpack and found a diamond coin, fifty crystal coins and a dark black pet egg.
《血泣》中，10000铜币等于100银币等于1金币等于0.01水晶币等于0.0001钻石币。
Lu Hao imitated the way of signing a contract with the artifact and put a drop of blood on it. The blood was instantly absorbed. Then Lu Fan heard a system prompt: The Warcraft Nether Dragon began to hatch...
"World of Warcraft? Haha!" He danced with excitement. You know, World of Warcraft is harder to get than artifacts.
The fantasy beasts in Blood Cry are divided into ten levels, with strength increasing from level one to level ten. Each pet is divided into larval stage, growth stage, mature stage, and strengthening stage.
Larval stage: The pet does not have much strength and can only perform some simple attacks or low-level magic.
Growth stage: Learn more attack methods or intermediate magic, and the strength is much stronger than the larval stage.
At maturity, the pet's various attributes have been finalized. When reaching maturity, the attributes will undergo great changes, and the pet can obtain some special skills, such as the guardian skill obtained by the Earth Bear, the entanglement skill of the Wood Elf, and so on.
Strengthening stage: As the name implies, it can be transformed into armor and worn by the owner, increasing the owner's defense and gaining some additional fusion transformation skills. Of course, there are also a small number of pets that can be transformed into weapons to increase the owner's attack. The Griffin in the Kaihua stage can give the owner the ability to fly, and the Lava Beast can increase fire damage, etc.
There is a red line under the Hell Dragon Egg, and a short blue line on the far left that can be ignored. The red line should disappear completely for the egg to hatch successfully.
Sure enough, there was a set of numbers on that line.
Hatching progress: 1/1000
Looking at the progress of the hatching, Ma Yingjie decided to upgrade first. It was obviously unrealistic to rely on this pet to upgrade himself. It would take at least two days for this guy to hatch. Even if he was fighting a level one mutant rat, he could be a full-time worker.
After all, although equipment is king in the game, it has to be of a high level. If you let a level 10 player with all artifacts PK a level 60 player with all blank equipment, the level 60 player will obviously win. But if they are both level 60, the one with the artifact will not lose as long as he is not stupid and just stands there to be hacked. This is the difference.
