Chapter 78 Infinite Souls
Chapter 78 Infinite Souls (Second Update)
The Imperial Mountains.
North of the ancient battlefield, in the Earth Rift Furnace area.
The continuous volcanoes stretch across the vast horizon like a giant dragon winding and undulating on the back of the earth.
The magma beneath the earth's crust surges, accompanied by the smell of sulfur and thick smoke, mixed with hot spurts, winding down from the top, and solidifying into strips of rock after cooling.
The air here is scorching hot and the environment is harsh.
At the foot of the volcano, a team of players advanced with difficulty while braving the raging black tide of evil.
"Hahaha, the record is broken. We have advanced to a new area."
"No, I can't hold on any longer. You take over the hammer. I'm going to go back and get some air."
After saying this, the player named squad leader in the team quickly retreated, hid behind the team and took deep breaths of air, restoring his energy, blood and mental strength through the properties of eating air.
Tiechui in the team heard that at this moment, the evil spirit on the top, facing the chaotic black tide of demons, activated the petrification feature and shouted:
"Recover quickly, I am almost dying."
At the back of the team, Black Ball, Cute Baby, and Marble, who were fighting in human form, each had two shadow clones controlled by their consciousness following them. They summoned fireballs in unison and threw them at the surging black tide of evil. Each of them also held a bottle of spirit recovery potion in their hands to replenish the consumed energy at any time.
The fireball fell into the surging evil tide, destroying a large number of evil lives.
boom!
At this moment, a loud noise was suddenly heard, and an explosion occurred as the black tide surged. The hammer at the front remained petrified and was blown several meters away by the shock wave of the explosion.
"Damn, it's another ghost kid. I've encountered a few today. It's so annoying. They explode every time I die."
"Luckily I retreated to recover my health, otherwise I would have been locked in a small dark room for an hour if I was bombed with my low health."
After realizing that they had accidentally killed the new evil "Ghost Baby" of the Black Tide, a group of players complained in the voice channel.
The black tide grew in strength, giving rise to three new evil spirits.
The most difficult one among them is the ghost baby. If you are not careful, you will be killed by its death self-detonation.
But the ghost doll's self-explosion also cleared an area where black tides were surging, thus broadening the vision of the children in the group.
At this time, the drunk lady in the team suddenly pointed to the sky:
"Look up in the sky, there's a big guy."
All the players looked in the direction Zuina pointed, and saw a giant red beast with wings in the sky fighting with some unknown creature in the dark red clouds. Every flap of its wings could tear the clouds apart.
But the distance was too far, and the children's group players could not see clearly what kind of creature was fighting with the behemoth.
At this moment, the giant beast in the sky suddenly fell rapidly from the sky, like a meteor, rubbing against the air to produce flames, and attacked the direction of the children's group members.
"It's over. I'm going to be crushed to death."
The distance was getting closer and closer, but the children in the group didn't even think of dodging.
But when the giant beast in the sky was less than a hundred meters away from the ground, it flapped its wings violently, forcibly stabilizing its body in the air, and then a ball of blue liquid spurted out of its mouth.
At this time, everyone in the children's group also saw the analysis information of the sky beast.
[Flame Spirit (First Generation)]:
Hunting Level: 138
Introduction to Yuanchu: A generation of Yuanchu monster that masters the power of soul flame. The flame it releases has the effect of burning the soul, causing the target to fall into continuous pain of soul burning. Soul fire attacks ignore the target's physical defense and directly act on the soul level. The specific damage effect is affected by the target's mental strength.
……
"Fuck, a level 138 first generation source, so powerful?"
"Raised on hormones? This generation of Yuanchu can easily crush the 4th generation of Qidie."
Through the explanation of the guide, all members of the kindergarten group understood that in the setting of the monster world, the hunting level of the original monster has nothing to do with the original generation of the original monster.
The positioning of a generation can only prove its growth potential. In theory, a first-generation primordial monster can also have a very high hunting level and can easily kill primordial monsters with higher growth talents than itself.
But the players in the children's group were still shocked by Yan Ling's hunting level.
The strength of this original monster is far higher than any original monster that the player camp has previously taken in. Even all the original monsters that have been taken in combined are no match for this first-generation original monster.
Roar!
A strong wind mixed with sound waves swept over, causing the children's group players below to grimace and bend their bodies downward.
The Flame Spirit beast flapped its wings again, and its body was covered by blazing red flames. It lowered its eyes to look at the direction where the blue liquid it spat out of its mouth fell, and then turned into a red stream of light and rushed into the sky, piercing into the clouds and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"I almost thought I was going to be confined to a small dark room, but I didn't expect that I would survive."
"Huh, even though it's just a game, the pressure from the Flame Spirit is so strong that my heart is beating uncontrollably. It's so exciting."
"It's a pity that it ran away. If it dared to land, I would have slid over and chopped it with a poisonous blow to kill it."
"Stupid black ball, if you don't brag a few times a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over. You can only fill the gap between its teeth if you slide over."
……
The children's group members who had managed to survive were bragging and chatting in the chat channel, and the atmosphere was joyful.
At this time, Tiechui came up with an idea:
"The blue liquid that Yan Ling sprayed out just now seemed to contain something. Did you see it?"
"It seems that there is, but I can't see it clearly... Do you want to go and take a look?" Zuina looked at Tiechui with a puzzled look.
"Well, let's go and take a look. The brave ones will die of overeating, while the timid ones will die of starvation. At worst, the worst that can happen is that you have to go to a small dark room and reflect on your mistakes."
After hearing Tiechui's idea, everyone in the children's group agreed, believing that this game has designed many Easter egg opportunities, and sometimes inconspicuous discoveries may bring huge benefits.
For example, there was a very lucky player on the forum who, out of curiosity about what was under a pit, unexpectedly discovered a strange machine and received a huge opportunity reward.
When they heard the news, they were so envious that their eyes turned red.
This also makes them develop a habit of not missing any Easter eggs in the game.
In the eyes of the children's group players, the arrival of the Flame Spirit just now can be understood as an unexpected triggering of a plot easter egg, and the spewed blue substance may be an extension of the plot.
Missing it means the triggered Easter egg plot will be abandoned.
"Buy medicine in the mall to replenish your status. The black tide is coming."
Yao glanced at the direction where the blue liquid fell, Tiechui took out a red medicine bottle and drank it, then walked to the front of the team, facing the black tide of evil that was sweeping over.
Half an hour later.
After a difficult advance, the children's group players finally arrived at the place where the blue liquid fell.
After killing the black evil in the area, they saw clearly what was contained in the blue liquid.
This is a small animal that looks like a cat with short limbs. It is covered with a layer of fine and soft blue fur. Its breathing is as thin as a thread, and its body trembles slightly with each breathing, as if it is trying hard to maintain its vitality. A circle of light blue clouds surrounds it, adding a bit of mystery to this seemingly weak life.
The most obvious feature of its body is the three-dimensional diamond-shaped mark on its forehead, which looks like a sapphire inlaid, gleaming faintly under the evil moon.
Focusing their eyes, the analytical information appeared in the minds of the children's group players:
[Infinity (Sixth Generation Origin)]:
Hunting Level: 29 (Death)
Introduction to Origin: The Origin monster that possesses infinite power, its own strength will be improved or weakened with each world judgment.
Tips: Kill the Sixth Generation Source to get extra soul rewards (tradable).
……
"F*ck (x15)"
Seeing the analysis information of this little kitten, everyone in the children's group was stunned.
This turned out to be a sixth-generation origin.
Before this, the strongest "Original Generation" they had seen was the fourth generation of Qidie, but it had never been contained until now.
But he didn't expect that he would be so lucky as to pick up a dying Sixth Generation Yuanchu.
Its value is self-evident; killing it will certainly bring huge benefits in terms of sacrificial power.
After a brief moment of shock, the children's group members acted decisively, fearing that a sudden accident would lead to a failure of containment.
The already weak Infinity died completely under the violent attack of the children's group members, and turned into a ball of blue mist and was absorbed by a nearby guiding clone.
Suddenly, a prompt sounded in all players' minds:
[Congratulations to the player team "Infant Group Small Class" for successfully containing the 6th generation of original monsters: unlimited, and obtaining a sacrifice power reward of 10 (shared by team players), and an additional 15th generation original soul: unlimited x]
Infinity (Sixth Generation Origin)
Introduction to the original characteristics: A world judgment throw can be made once every 36 hours. One's own strength will be strengthened or weakened after the judgment is completed. In the initial level 1 state, the strength judgment fluctuation is 1%-500%. The higher the level of infinite soul, the larger the judgment fluctuation range, and the judgment probability is affected by the world's luck.
Soul Price: None (Players can obtain it through subsequent activities)
…The sudden channel-wide notification instantly caused the forum and regional voice channels to explode, with all kinds of “WTF”s flooding the screen.
The children's group members who received the awards were so excited that they hugged each other and cheered, with applause and shouts interspersed.
After the celebration, they opened the Star Vein function list and decided to embed the "Infinite" soul.
After the leading Hammer Inlay peeled off and decomposed the "Resistance" soul of the third star vein slot, he glanced at the space baggage column on the right side of the interface, and saw a blue soul that looked like a diamond-shaped dice floating in the fifth grid of the second row.
After using his consciousness to drag it to the third position of the star vein groove to complete the inlay, he suddenly felt that unknown changes were taking place in his body, as if some mysterious power was flowing in his body, and it only took a few seconds for it to calm down from the initial intensity.
After the inlay was completed, the method of using the infinite soul was already imprinted in my mind.
Opening his eyes, he tried to release his infinite characteristic abilities.
Suddenly, a blue energy dice appeared in front of him. Each side was engraved with delicate and complex rune patterns, which would constantly jump and change over time, showing different colors.
After the ability is activated, the dice will automatically spin faster and faster.
Finally, it stopped at a black symbol, which quickly enlarged in front of Tiechui's eyes until it completely covered his vision.
The challenger's reminder also sounded in his mind:
[Challenger Tips: Use the soul characteristic ability "Infinity", roll 8 points, be repelled by the power of the world, and weaken your own strength by 92% (all embedded soul effects are affected), and the duration is 35 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. ]
As the prompt sounded, a strong feeling of weakness enveloped the hammer.
My vision became dim, and my heavy body seemed to be carrying a thousand-pound burden. Even breathing became extremely difficult and I needed to use all my strength to push forward.
"It's over!"
Realizing that he was possessed by a poor man, he threw a despair point. His own abilities were suppressed by the rules of the world, and Tiechui's expression looked very ugly.
Just then, there was wild laughter beside me.
Turning her head, she saw a faint blue glow surrounding Zuina, and a fireball condensed when she raised her hand.
This inky flame fireball is completely different from the previous ones released. A twisted vortex is formed in the center of the burning inky flame. Black matter that jumps like an electric arc is swirling on the surface of the fireball. The surging energy fluctuations spread outward in circles with the fireball as the center.
"It's so cool to get a five-fold enhancement so easily."
As she said this, Zuina looked at Tiechui, who looked constipated:
"Oh, our Hammer brother seems to be out of luck. He looks a little weak."
After hearing Zuina's smug teasing, Tiechui couldn't help but give her the middle finger:
"Curse you the next time you roll 1... Come hold me up, I can't stand any more."
At this time, other teammates have also completed their throws and obtained status blessings after the world judgment, but only Zuina, Black Ball, and Squad Leader in the team have been strengthened, and the rest of the throws have weakened points.
This made the children's group members a little confused.
The infinite characteristic effect does not seem to be as strong as they imagined. They don't understand why the probability of being judged as a weakening is so high when the fluctuation range is 1%-500%.
In order to resolve the doubts, the leader Tiechui chose to post a help request on the forum.
[Brothers, something is wrong. The effect of the Sixth Generation Origin doesn't seem to be as strong as imagined.]
Posted by: Xiaoban-Hammer
Content: Ahem, don’t curse first, I’m sure you all have seen the hint, we were lucky enough to finish off a dying Sixth Generation Genchu, but we encountered trouble in using our abilities...
The current situation is that only 15 people were enhanced in 3 throws, and the remaining 12 people were in a weakened state. The probability of obtaining an enhanced state seems a bit low. I don't know whether we are unlucky or there is indeed a problem with the probability. Is there any big guy who can analyze the situation for me?
The posts published by the children's group members quickly attracted a large number of players, including strategy players who participated in the commentary.
Night is coming:
Let me first curse you guys, you deserve to die, you can even pick up the 6th generation source, how many years of your life have you wasted playing games?
Let me explain your situation below.
In the analysis and introduction information of Infinite Soul, it is mentioned that the judgment probability is affected by "world luck". This is obviously the reason why you have judged it to be a weakened state with a higher probability. My understanding of world luck is a special attribute similar to luck. There is no introduction to this attribute in the game at this stage, but it is certain that the attribute of luck must exist.
I have tested two luck-related souls in the soul library of the test tower.
Below are screenshots of the analysis of the two souls.
【Good Luck (Fourth-order Origin Soul)】
Introduction to the original characteristics: After embedding this soul, you will gain the blessing of the monster world and your fortune will be improved.
【Fortune (Fifth-Order Origin Soul)】
Introduction to the original characteristics: After embedding this soul, you will gain the blessing of the monster world and your fortune will be improved.
……
These two souls performed extremely poorly in the evaluation, and had no effect on improving combat power.
At that time, I opened a voting thread for soul strength, and both of these souls were classified as among the top ten weakest souls. Although the souls were of high level, there was no practical use for them at all.
The performance in the test was the same. With good luck and fortune inlaid, the damage inflicted on me by the simulated monsters was not reduced at all, and there was no lucky dodge.
But now I understand the role of these two souls.
The effect of luck blessing can only take effect when there is a soul that can determine the probability.
Just like the infinite soul that you are using now, combined with good fortune and luck, and even if you accommodate and embed other similar souls that enhance luck in the future, the infinite soul will become very powerful.
With various luck buffs added, the probability of throwing out enhanced effects will definitely increase significantly.
Theoretically, if you embed a bunch of life souls blessed with luck, you can cast them into an enhanced state every time.
What’s more important is that 1%-500% is only the fluctuation range of the 1st level infinite soul. When you upgrade the infinite soul to level 10 or 20, this fluctuation range will increase.
Assuming that the enhancement fluctuation provided by the infinite soul at level 100 is 1%-5000%, you can imagine how terrible the enhancement effect brought about by the throwing judgment will be if you are lucky.
What if it is infinite soul at level 500?
Although the characteristics of infinite souls depend on luck, the upper limit is extremely high and the strength is definitely stronger than all existing souls.
The disadvantage is that the lower limit is also the lowest among all life souls. When you are unlucky, it is far less strong than the first generation origin. If you have a bad foundation and throw it to 1%, I am afraid that you will be killed by a sudden gust of wind.
Based on the above analysis, without the blessing of luck-type souls, infinite souls can only be used occasionally, and it is not recommended for non-lucky players to embed and use them.
As for those of you who have already embedded the souls, my suggestion is to continue using them. After all, the embedded souls will be decomposed after being peeled off, and you will not be able to buy them again. The infinite soul is the only special soul in the game that is not open for sale.
Xiaoban-Tiechui (the original poster) replied to The Night is Coming: Thanks for the analysis, I now understand what is going on.
Wosnidie: I am not interested in souls that require luck to judge, but I am interested in the sacrifice power produced by your containment of the source. Tiechui, please contact me quickly. I haven't seen you sell sacrifice power for a long time. If you don't sell sacrifice power, how can I become stronger? (The God of Wealth Hongwen.jpg)
Soul Catcher: Hello, lucky player. You must know what I do by looking at my game ID. I want to ask if you are done with the fun. If you are done with the fun, it is time to follow me. Your life span has been exhausted. Don’t waste your life playing games in your next life. (The God of Wealth slashes his head.jpg)
……
The original altar.
Qi Sheng looked at Infinity imprisoned in the 18th grid of the detention wall, with the information analysis guiding the feedback in his mind.
This sixth-generation origin can produce 1.5 sacrificial power for him every hour, and 36 sacrificial power income for him every day.
The good fortune of the kindergarten members brought him continuous huge benefits from the sacrificial power.
With this sixth-generation origin, the progress of recruiting players will also be improved.
As for why he did not open the infinite soul to other players for purchase and use, it was mainly related to the special nature of the infinite soul.
Without the blessing of an adapted luck-type soul, the infinite soul feature is too random and may not necessarily have a positive effect on the player's growth.
Randomly judged to a low score, the player will completely lose the ability to fight within 36 hours.
Assuming that a war breaks out between the player army and the Black Tide, all players will submit a world judgment. If the strength of most players is weakened, this will seriously affect the direction of the war situation.
For Qi Sheng, who wants to build a powerful player army, stable returns are far more important to him than uncertain returns.
From the perspective of stable development, this type of soul that depends purely on appearance is not suitable for large-scale distribution.
So he closed the sales channel of "Infinite Souls" and changed it to a probability distribution method during future activities, such as lucky draws.
Only when he has taken in a large number of souls related to increasing luck in the future, will he consider completely opening up the purchase rights of unlimited souls.
