Chapter 77: Clone Gameplay Black Tide Enhancement

Chapter 77 Clone Gameplay - Black Tide Enhancement
The original altar.

Qi Sheng used his consciousness to quickly look through the list of the latest trading line functions.

He designed the interface of the trading house very beautifully.

At the top of the interface is a row of category labels, which are divided into several major categories, such as armed props, resource materials (spiritual plants, spiritual ores), rare souls (level 4 and above souls can be traded), custom weapon props, etc. There are also more detailed sub-categories under each major category label, which makes it easier for players to quickly locate the products they are interested in.

Players only need to use their consciousness to touch the classified product column, and the corresponding list will unfold from left to right like a scroll.

The central area of ​​the interface is the product display area, which uses a dynamic 3D model and can be dragged and rotated for viewing.

On the right side of the interface is a convenient search box where players can enter keywords to quickly find specific products, or narrow the search scope through filtering conditions such as price range, durability, whether to agree to a premium, etc.

At the bottom of the interface is a scrolling report of transaction records, which updates the latest transaction information in real time.

The left side of the interface provides functional options such as transaction records and favorites, which are convenient for players to manage their own transaction information and track price fluctuations of commodities of interest.

By clicking on each item in the display area, you can see a detailed introduction and the seller's notes.

However, among the products sold recently, there have been quite a few with randomly priced items and ridiculous notes. Especially when sorted by highest price, the product descriptions that appear are extremely magical.

Pickaxe (Durability: 1)

Selling Player: Loli Carrying a Cannon
Price: 999999 Sacrifice Power.

Remarks: 0.01 new, for my daughter's own use, a good helper in dark caves, it has witnessed my hard work in dim environments and brought me the start-up capital for my growth. If I didn't need money to open a star vein slot, I would never sell it.

Stone (common)
Selling players: Stay up late to cultivate immortality

Price: 999999
Remarks: Yes, this is the stone I picked up on the roadside in Dizhong Village. It is also the first combat item I used after entering the game. It hurts when I hit someone, and my battle records can be checked. It means a lot to me, so I reluctantly gave it up and took it home for only 6 nines. If you are poor, don't look at it, because you can't afford this artifact even if you see it.

Broken Sword (Broken)
Selling player: Unknown (hidden identity)

Price: 999999
Remarks: An artifact from the ancient battlefield. Although this is just a broken dagger, it has actually gone through countless changes of spring and autumn, and the years have left indelible marks on it. It was once a loyal companion of a brave warrior, witnessed the flames of war on the ancient battlefield, and accompanied the warrior's lonely nights of watch. The tiny cracks and marks of wear on it are scars left after countless battles with the enemy. Those scratches of varying depths record the enemies it has cut off, and also remember those irreversible sacrifices. The broken blade is the most desolate and tragic. That was the tragic moment when it tried its best to protect its master in the last battle, and finally broke due to exhaustion.

The scabbard has long been lost in the dust of history, leaving only the lonely broken blade, like an old soldier who has lost his companion, quietly telling the glory and loneliness of the past. Whenever night falls and the moonlight falls on the ruins of the ancient battlefield, the broken sword will emit a faint glow, which is the whisper of its soul, a remembrance of the past and an expectation for the future.

Summary: Although I picked up this dagger on an ancient battlefield, it records a tragic history of war and is of extraordinary significance. You can take it home and keep it forever for only 6 nines.

……

There are many similar high-priced whole-life products in the trading market.

The players who put this kind of goods up for sale never thought about selling the goods. After all, the price is so high that not only can the players not afford it, but Qi Sheng, the manipulator behind the scenes, doesn't have the ability to buy it. It's purely a hoax in the trading house to attract attention.

Except for the live goods, the prices of the mainstream goods in the trading house are all below 200 points of sacrifice power.

For example, the arms sold by the Doomsday Technology Guild, their trading mode has been changed from remote trading after private chat to selling in the trading house, and a lot of them can be sold every day by listing them in the custom product column.

Among all the consignment items, the one with the most significant price increase is the silk spun by the iron beetle.

When the trading function was first launched, the price of each piece of iron beetle silk was 50 points of sacrifice power. Today, the price has increased to 85 points of sacrifice power.

Compared with the 4 points of sacrificial power reported when the Emperor's Omen was initially sacrificed, the price has increased more than 20 times.

The reason for the skyrocketing prices is related to the emergence of a group of fishing players in the game. The silk spun by the ironworm is the only material option for making fishing lines at this stage.

The launch of the trading house makes player growth more efficient.

In particular, the purchase information column in the trading house function brings convenience to players in need.

A large number of players post their demand information on it, such as purchasing sacrifice power with cash, purchasing resources with cash, purchasing upgrades with cash, etc.

There is no need to scroll through regional channels anymore, players can directly find the target group through the purchase information column of the trading house.

Players who want to sell services can also post service introduction information in the trading house and wait for players with needs to chat with them privately.

Five days after its launch, the usage rate of the trading house among the player community has been increasing.

After checking the trading bank information, Qi Sheng turned his attention to the forum and looked through the posts on the popular list.

The first post on the popular list is the strategy post for the Star Vein combination.

[The latest soul Liuying is too strong. It is strong in that it can do everything. It can be called an all-round soul. Let me show you the actual test results.]

Posted by: The night is coming
Contents:

Without further introduction, let's go straight to the video (Attachment: Recorded video)

……

Qi Sheng clicked on the video.

The picture shows the poster, Dark Night is Coming, testing the combination of the second-generation original characteristic "Flowing Shadow" in the test tower.

The test process takes up to one hour.

Four star vein matching modes that demonstrate the characteristics of flowing shadows.

The first combination is Bone Fire + Flowing Shadow + Eagle-headed Demon + Food of Air.

This set of Star Veins combination can be said to be a cheat in the demonstration. First, Night is Coming activates the Flowing Shadow feature, splitting into three clones, releasing the Ink Flame ability of Bone Fire respectively, and then through the perception and positioning of the Eagle-Headed Demon, the main body + clone are released remotely and output.

Although the physical fitness of the clone is only 30% of the original body, the output efficiency is greatly improved with the help of the clone.

Dark Night is Coming named this star vein combination "Clone Fireball Technique".

In the final review session, it was believed that the output efficiency of this Star Vein combination was very high. The disadvantage was that mental power needed to be continuously consumed when the clone was activated. In addition, when the main body and the clone released the Ink Flame at the same time, the speed of mental power consumption increased exponentially, and the endurance was slightly insufficient. Even if food energy was inlaid, it was difficult to make up for the speed of mental power consumption. The biggest advantage was that it could produce explosive output in a short period of time.

The second combination is Light Shield + Binding + Breath Eating + Flowing Shadow, and it is named "Magic Defense Flow" when Night is Coming.

The characteristic of this Star Pulse combination is that it gives up output. Players who choose this style only need to activate the clone, provide light shield to teammates, or use multiple controls of the main body and clone. It focuses on functionality and the actual performance is excellent.

The third combination is Gargoyle + Mighty Axe + Resistance + Flow Shadow, and Night is Coming is named "Multiple Entanglement Flow".

This Star Vein style also focuses on melee control and output as a supplement.

In the demonstration screen, Night is Coming summons three clones to pounce on the demonstration enemy, hugging the enemy's hands, feet, and body respectively. After holding hands, they enter the petrified form. The entangled target is immediately unable to move. If the player and the clone are not killed in the petrified state, they will not be able to break free.

It can be called a human-shaped prison, and a single person can complete multiple entanglement combat experiences.

The fourth combination, Night is Coming, did not release any souls, but took out a pickaxe in the test scene.

In human form, three clones were created to conduct mining tests.

The mining efficiency has increased exponentially during the test, and as the level of the Liuying Soul is increased, it can split and control more clones. In theory, one person can form a mining team.

Once the guide post was published, the number of comments quickly increased.

The Dark Land is Really Fun: Brother Heiye, you are going to make me laugh to death, what the hell is the last one, the mining team with full efficiency is so funny, but this Liuying Soul is really strong, worthy of being the second generation source, it feels like it can be used in combination with any star vein school.

This beaver: Hahaha, among these four star vein schools, I am most optimistic about the mining team. The mining efficiency is maximized, and one dig is equivalent to N digs by others. The mining players must be ecstatic. Isn't this the mining acceleration script given by the official?

Xiaoban-Drunken Milk: Mass Fireball is so cool. Pull ten clones to release fireballs, open meteor showers to cover and attack. One person is a legion. Just thinking about it makes me feel good. The firepower value is full, but the mental power consumption is indeed a big problem. The characteristics of the air-eating soul can't stand it at all. I hope to accommodate the "Sea Stone" soul in the soul library of the test tower as soon as possible. This is the core soul of the magic system, and the characteristic ability restores mental power at a very fast speed. Xiaoban-Iron Hammer: The entanglement flow of Gargoyle + Flowing Shadow is too magical. It makes me laugh to death. It reminds me of a few friends I met when I first entered the game. They love to play the black armor snake entanglement tactics.

Explorer: Brother Heiye really loves the Star Vein combination gameplay. He studies the Star Vein combination every day. I have learned a lot of good things from you. Thank you for sharing (Reward: 3 points of sacrifice power)
Broken Will: After watching Brother Heiye's strategy video, I came up with an idea for a weapon flow star vein combination. By summoning the weapon spirit through the main body and the clone summoning the weapon spirit, a weapon flow combat mode of firing thousands of arrows can be formed. Brother Heiye, can you make a test video to see if it is feasible?

The Night is Coming (the original poster) replied to Broken Will: From your description I feel that it is not feasible. The first thing to consider when pairing Liuying with any soul is the endurance of mental power. You have chosen melee weapon spirits, which have weak mental power. Then you summon a group of clones, and during the battle you have to control a large number of weapon spirits. Your mental power will be exhausted in an instant, and you will not be able to sustain the battle.

Fierce little monster: It is a very versatile soul, but it feels so tiring to use. I still prefer the Star Vein style "Shadow Legion" originally released by Brother Heiye. The superposition of Shadow Summoning + various buffs is so cool. The most important thing is that the Shadow Warrior is adapted to the intelligent AI system, which can give orders to automatically hunt monsters and can also control and command with the mind at critical moments. If I have this Star Vein combination, I will let four shadow warriors carry me, and the other shadow warriors will go hunting monsters after stacking buffs. I will lie down and browse forums, watch live broadcasts, and enjoy the evolution points and sacrifice power benefits that pop up in my mind from time to time. I feel happy just thinking about it.

The Night is Coming (the original poster) replied to the fierce little monster: Don’t let your imagination run wild. We haven’t taken in any souls needed to match the Shadow Legion school (The God of Wealth is helpless.jpg)

……

The second-generation original soul "Liuying" who had just been taken in was played with in this post.

The player who posted the strategy post, Dark Night is Coming, has become one of the players that Qi Sheng focuses on.

Every time a new soul is taken in, the player will go to the test tower to test the combination, and he can come up with new tricks every time, providing other players with new ideas for soul combinations.

This type of strategy-seeking players have played a significant role in promoting the development of the player army.

To this end, Qi Sheng will also ask the guides to open small accounts to provide small rewards for valuable posts to support and enhance the innovative atmosphere of the forum.

After reading all the new posts on the forum in a few seconds, Qi Sheng's gaze switched to the perspective of the players exploring outside.

During these days of fighting against the Black Tide Legion, Qi Sheng discovered that the intensity of the Black Tide had changed.

In the initial outbreak stage of the low tide led by the evil spirits of the earth, the strength of the evil life bred in the black tide is generally at level 1-3, and the average level of the guiding statistics is at level 2.

For veteran players, the battle against the Black Tide evil is a completely refreshing mowing mode.

Even novice players can fight against the Black Tide evil, and it will be even easier to defeat them after they reach a higher level. The only threat that the Black Tide poses to players is overwhelming numbers.

After 6 days of development, the black tide had significantly increased its intensity as it devoured the spiritual plants and monsters in the Tezuka Mountains.

Especially a day ago, the Black Tide successfully occupied the domain node "Yuntian" deep in the Gray Fog Forest, which greatly increased the intensity of the Black Tide.

The energy stored in the Corrosion Core was completely devoured by the Black Tide, raising the average hunting level of the Black Tide Evil from level 2 to level 4.

This is also one of the most terrifying things about the Kuroshio.

In a world illuminated by the evil moon, corrosion cores will be born. They are generally entangled in areas with abundant energy, especially in domain node areas.

This type of corrosion core possesses a certain degree of intelligence and will attack any life that dares to approach.

But the Corrosion Core is the only one that cannot resist the power of the Black Tide.

Through the feedback screen of the guidance, Qi Sheng saw that the corrosion core deep in the gray fog forest actively released its defenses after coming into contact with the black tide, combined with the black tide energy, became a part of the black tide, and continued to provide energy support for the black tide.

The player army can only take down the domain nodes with great difficulty through force, but Black Tide can enter through facial recognition and directly obtain the reserve energy of the domain nodes.

It can be said that the meaning of the existence of the Corrosion Core is to wait for the arrival of the Black Tide and become a part of it.

This is one of the reasons why the intensity of the Kuroshio can increase rapidly.

At this stage, the evil life bred by the strengthened black tide has three more forms.

According to the guidance and analysis, Qi Sheng obtained detailed information about these three new evil spirits.

they are, respectively:
[Corrupted Roots (Black Tide Evil)]:
Hunting Level: 5
Target introduction: An aggregate of evil vines, with tentacles covered with spikes. It has strong vitality and can quickly recover damaged parts. It mainly entangles and binds the target by extending misty vine tentacles, and weakens the opponent's state by releasing poisonous black tide spores, making it fall into a coma.

【Ghost Baby (Black Tide Evil)】

Hunting Level: 7
Target introduction: The evil life bred in the black tide has extremely fast attack and movement speeds. It will explode when it dies, causing corruption and erosion damage to surrounding enemies.

[Mist Snake (Black Tide Evil)]

Hunting Level: 5
Target Introduction: A low-level assassin unit in the Black Tide. It has a unique body structure and can move freely in the fog, making it difficult to detect. It can spit out poisonous fog to entangle and attack the target, causing a continuous paralysis effect on the target and slowing down the target's action efficiency.

……

The three newly added black tide monsters are much stronger than the previous low-level evil creatures such as evil maggots, dark dogs, and magic fleas.

The first batch of Black Tide evil spirits generally did not master combat skills and could only attack targets by biting and other means, posing limited threat to players.

However, the three new low-level Black Tide evil spirits all possess offensive skills.

Especially the ghost doll at hunting level 7, it is like an unstable bomb moving on the battlefield. As long as the stable state of its life structure is destroyed, it will self-destruct.

Many players were killed by the self-explosion of the ghost baby because they failed to dodge in time and entered the death cooldown.

From the initial unparalleled mowing mode, the difficulty of players fighting against the black tide is rapidly increasing, but the benefits are also increasing accordingly.

Through this round of black tide sweeping across the country, Qi Sheng personally felt the terrifying growth speed of the black tide.

It is no wonder that the black tide can wreak havoc in other dimensions and the power systems of most worlds find it difficult to contend with it.

The black tide invading other planes of existence can be understood as a spark thrown into a forest. It will quickly spread and devour everything along the way, transforming it into energy to strengthen itself, until it turns into a raging flame that burns the entire forest and engulfs the entire world.

Unless this flame is extinguished before it burns, the difficulty of confrontation will only increase as time goes by.

Moreover, this invading flame is only a tiny bit of force in the huge main structure of the terrifying black tide. It can mobilize more powerful forces to join the battle at any time.

This results in the ordinary world, even if it can win a short-term victory in the fight against the Black Tide, it will eventually become the nutrients of the Black Tide.

Even the monster world is just one of the countless battlefields opened up by the terrifying black tide. When Qi Sheng followed Yan Ming to travel through other worlds in search of challengers to recruit, he also saw a large number of world planes corroded by the terrifying black tide.

This is enough to show how terrifying the black tide is.

But compared with other worlds, the monster world also has its own advantages.

Whether in terms of world structure strength or combat power system, the monster world is far stronger than those plane worlds that are easily swallowed up.

The fact that the black tide has been sweeping across the world until now and has still not been able to completely devour the monster world is enough to prove how powerful this world is.

This can also be seen from the conversation between the evil eye and the evil spirit of the earth.

The Evil Eye once told the Earthly Evil Spirit about an analysis intelligence shared by other nodes, indicating that the Evil Eyes of other nodes believed that the former creator of the monster world had a transcendent strength that was not weaker than "my Lord".

The "my Lord" here obviously refers to the manipulator behind the terrifying black tide.

Similar views were spoken to him.

It means that if Emperor Omen had not resolved himself, the combined combat power of the Monster World would have been able to confront the terrifying Black Tide head-on.

This is also the reason why the four great servants did not choose to give up, and wanted to inherit the Emperor's omen to consolidate my origin and then fight the Black Tide.

Without thinking about this question too much, Qi Sheng's eyes continued to jump quickly between different players, observing their performance in the Black Tide.
