Chapter 43 Discovering the Origin
Chapter 43 Discovering the Origin
Qi Sheng sat cross-legged on the altar, with multiple split-screen light curtains floating in front of him. The screens were live broadcasting the fierce battle between players in the dark cave.
After two days of attacks, the players successfully advanced to the third underground space.
The number of ironshell insects here has increased significantly, and there are a large number of controlled crypt creatures wandering around, which greatly increases the intensity of the confrontation.
As the frequency of player deaths increases, the output revenue also increases.
To the delight of the players, the quality of the spiritual ore on the third underground layer was much higher than that of the first layer they had explored previously.
The main spiritual ore on the first layer is the energy stone of level 1, while the energy stones dug out from the rock wall on the third layer are generally level 2 energy stones. After each stone is sacrificed to the Emperor's Omen, more than 10 points of sacrifice power benefit feedback can be obtained.
The only drawback is that mining becomes more difficult.
The rock walls of the third underground layer are very hard and difficult to break with just an ordinary mining shovel. You need to buy more advanced mining tools from the mall.
Combat consumption, resurrection consumption, equipment replacement, monster-killing output... After the task of purifying the dark cave was released, Qi Sheng's income increased significantly.
The daily collected sacrificial power can recruit 60 players.
The total daily income flowing into the sacrificial power pool is around 20, but apart from the commission of the sacrificial power income, he will not touch the part of the sacrificial power that belongs to the players unless there are special circumstances.
Before starting the player recruitment plan, he carefully considered whether to use the players' sacrifice power.
In essence, the balance of sacrificial power that players see is just a string of numbers. The sacrificial power is not stored on the players. When they use the sacrificial power, it is drawn from the sacrificial power pool below the Emperor's Tomb Village, converted into corresponding energy or props, and then transmitted to the players.
So all the sacrifice power earned by the player is in his hands.
However, players will use this part of sacrificial power at any time and consume it in mall purchases, star vein upgrades, body forging level upgrades, etc.
Excessive consumption may occur when a player wants to use a resource but has diverted a large amount of resource, resulting in no resource left in stock.
The sacrificial power pool he controls is like a bank, and the sacrificial power can be understood as real currency.
When a player deposits sacrificial power, it will also consume it. The difference is that he cannot earn income by lending it out, so he cannot use it with leverage. He has to fill in as much as he spends later.
In order to avoid the problem of over-consumption of sacrificial power reserves, he chose not to use the sacrificial power that belonged to the players unless there were special circumstances, and only used the sacrificial power that belonged to him after the deduction.
[Boss, the fight started again! ]
The voice of guidance interrupted Qi Sheng's thoughts.
Looking up at one of the light screens in front of him, he saw hundreds of players encountering the Cryptid creatures led by the Ironshell Bugs, and the battle started instantly.
The player switches to monster form and engages in a head-on confrontation with the iron bug.
After observing for a few days, Qi Sheng discovered that players would use tactics reasonably in small-scale battles, but would become disorganized when the scale expanded, confronting each other head-on like reckless men, and the scene was extremely chaotic as everyone attacked their own targets.
During this period, voice channels in small areas were even more chaotic.
"Brother who plays with fire, please stop throwing fireballs randomly. If you have poor eyesight, you can give them to others. But if you throw them at me again, don't blame me for fighting back!"
“The brother in front was really fierce. He rushed into the iron-shell insect swarm and started taunting. In the end, he didn’t last for 3 seconds and turned into black smoke. Isn’t this just seeking death? Hahahaha.”
"Don't push me, I'm low on health and need to go back to replenish my health. Please don't push me, if you move forward I will really die!"
"Hahaha, I picked up three pieces of iron bug essence. It's worth dying in this wave."
...In an overly chaotic scene, accidental injuries are inevitable.
In real life, players will respond humbly and politely to any bumps and bruises they encounter, but in the game world without any constraints, players' natures are completely released. If they have grievances, they will curse on the spot, and if they have hatreds, they will fight directly.
Secondly, after killing the monster, only the sacrifice power and evolution points can be directly obtained, but the shell essence dropped by the iron shell beetle after being refined needs to be picked up.
When faced with benefits that have fallen on the ground, players will not even ask who owns them, but will pick them up decisively.
As various conflicts intensify, players will fight other players while fighting against the iron bugs.
But while there are minor internal frictions, the players' main targets are still the iron bugs and the crypt creatures.
The fierce battle continued. The ironworms were equally fearless under the control of the Crypt Clan warriors, and the casualties on both sides continued to increase.
The player's advantage lies in the rapid follow-up of subsequent forces. The players in the rear will quickly fill the gap left by the dead players in the front and continue fighting.
From a macro perspective, players advancing underground appear to be in a long queue. Although there are multiple forks in the middle of the three underground layers that divert players to different directions, the players on the first two layers are just queuing up and waiting to play.
In addition to chatting on the forum or watching other players' live broadcasts of fierce battles at the front, these queued players will also pick up pickaxes to dig ore to pass the time while waiting for their turn to charge.
The rapid follow-up of subsequent forces makes the player's pace of advancing underground appear very steady.
As one batch dies, another batch is replaced, gradually eroding the lives of the iron-shelled insects and the crypt tribe.
The player's ability of unlimited resurrection has limited effect when fighting against evil spirit warriors who are completely overwhelming in strength, but it is almost unstoppable when facing evenly matched iron shell worms.
Judging from the current progress trend, it is only a matter of time before we capture the Dark Cave.
The battle in the picture lasted less than 20 minutes before it ended, with the deaths of 692 players in exchange for the smooth passage of this section of the road.
There is another fork in the road ahead, and players continue to move forward after the fork in the road.
The light curtain in front of Qi Sheng also had a split-screen image following him.
[Boss, found the origin! ]
Hearing the guidance, Qi Sheng turned his head and looked at a light curtain on the right.
The monster in the picture is imprisoned in a cave by special chains like the taunt. It looks like an enlarged version of a giant salamander, dragging a big tail, with a round head and a layer of crystal mucus covering its body. At this moment, it is looking at the player with a fierce expression, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.
The analysis information was quickly fed back to Qi Sheng’s mind.
【Eating Qi (the origin of the first generation)】:
Hunting Level: 12
Special ability: Breathing
Characteristics analysis: Can automatically filter energy particles in the air through breathing, replenishing mental strength and blood consumption
Guidance Notes: The specific supplement effect is affected by the energy particle content in the area. For example, areas with higher moon phase intensity generally have higher energy particle content in the air, and the mental strength and blood recovery rate obtained by breathing is faster.
Containment Tips: Killing the original monster can automatically complete the containment, and those who participate in the killing will share the huge reward.
……
Seeing that it was the origin monster, Qi Sheng immediately became excited.
