Chapter 97: Additional Benefits of Technical Flow
Chapter 97: Additional Benefits of Technical Flow (asking for monthly tickets)
The original altar.
Through the guide's description, Qi Sheng understood the origin of the Snake Ancestor.
Different from the status and strength of Ice Blade's regional overlord, Snake Ancestor is just the leader of an ordinary tribe that believes in Emperor Omen among the billions of tribes in the monster world.
Of course, the guide did not know the Snake Ancestor.
As one of the Four Gods, his status was above the common people, so how could he come into contact with an ordinary tribe leader?
This information is obtained by analyzing the contents of the murals in the temple.
Many murals show the Snake Ancestor kneeling and praying to a ball of scarlet flame.
This burning scarlet flame represents the imperial omen.
This can be discovered from the written records on many murals and the analysis of damaged murals.
The Snake Ancestor's belief in the Emperor's Omen was impacted as the Black Tide corrupted the world.
The mural depicts a colorful misty coast where, under the shining evil moon, all living things are devastated, large areas of green plants have died, and resources have been devoured by the rampant evil.
After countless prayers and sacrifices, the Snake Ancestor was unable to wait for the true God to come, and finally decided to try to regain his homeland through his own efforts.
During this period, the Snake Ancestor started the blood trial.
This is the temple trial that many players are challenging, which selects potential warriors and gives them powerful strength to fight against the black tide.
No further information can be deciphered from the mural as to what happened next.
But Qi Sheng could foresee the subsequent developments.
The Snake Ancestor led his people to resist the Black Tide, but ultimately failed.
This period was obviously also the stage where the Guidance and other four servants were fighting fiercely with the Black Tide Demon.
The Colorful Mist Coast, which had been infiltrated by corrupt energy, regained its vitality after the end of the "catastrophe" described by the Evil Eye. The large area of the scene occupied by the Evil Moon was shattered, but the Snake Ancestor and his people had died and could not witness the return of their homeland. Only a ruined temple remains standing to this day.
But the Snake Ancestor's trial to select potential warriors is still going on.
Inside the temple, the guide detected an energy source.
Due to the presence of a large number of energy impurities, after guided calculations, approximately 1086.4 million sacrificial powers can be obtained after conversion.
But unlike the energy source collected by the Ice Blade Clan's iron-shelled insects, this energy source was sealed with multiple seals and defenses. Apart from breaking it by force, it could only be obtained according to a set procedure.
Qi Sheng thought about trying to break it, but unless the real body went there, the seal could not be broken using the player's clone.
So I gave up the idea of absorbing the core of this energy.
Therefore, when players complete the trial, they are actually helping him extract the energy core.
But he made some changes in the energy distribution.
If the Snake Ancestor Trial is completed normally, the challenger will obtain the Snake Ancestor's energy feedback, which will condense into a Snake Ancestor mark in the body, purifying the player's body while enhancing their growth potential.
But in Qi Sheng's opinion, this mark of the snake ancestor is useless.
The player's body is constructed with sacrificial power. Not only is it pure and free of impurities, but there is also no bottleneck in its growth potential.
Creatures in a normal monster world will face many life constraints that they need to break through with great difficulty during their growth, but players do not have such restrictions.
You only need to obtain enough evolution points to upgrade your soul level and increase your strength.
This setting alone gives players endless growth potential.
The Snake Ancestor Mark placed on the player is just a decoration and is meaningless.
The energy consumed in condensing the Snake Ancestor's Seal was wasted.
Therefore, he filtered and converted the "Mark of the Snake Ancestor" obtained by the players after completing the trial, and distributed it directly to the players in the form of sacrificial power. He charged a 3% handling fee, which was 600 points of sacrificial power, and the players received 1400 points of sacrificial power.
When the player completes the trial challenge, he also indirectly extracts the energy core left by the Snake Ancestor.
……
Colorful Mist Coast, Snake Ancestor Temple.
After two days of trial and error, Ding Yu, who had failed to complete the trial challenge, came to the temple again.
Compared to when the temple was first discovered, the number of players coming to challenge it has decreased significantly, and many players give up decisively after challenging it once or twice.
The reason is related to the difficulty of the trial level.
So far, only 33 players have successfully passed the challenge. Players on the forum have been crying out for help for a long time, but no player has given detailed instructions on how to pass the level.
After a series of setbacks, a large number of players gave up the challenge and torture of the Snake Temple.
But for Ding Yu, the challenge has just begun.
Enter the temple, follow the familiar route around the snake statue, and arrive at the first level.
Having found a convenient route, he jumped forward quickly and calmly. In less than 3 minutes, he crossed the abyss and arrived at the second trial platform.
The difficulty of the second level increases sharply, and many players fail at this level and lose the motivation to continue the challenge.
But after two days of exploration, Ding Yu has found some patterns.
The rhythm of the ground spikes' appearance does not follow the law of time, but the timing starts the moment the challenger steps on them. It changes with each step, and the attack will occur after a delay of about 1 second.
He fell down 5 times in this level.
It costs a total of 50 points of ritual power to revive, and 25 points of ritual power to teleport.
This expense made him feel painful, but when he thought about the 1400 points of sacrifice power he could get after completing the trial, this expense could be completely compensated by the reward.
Dodge, jump, crouch... He kept his mind tense as he moved forward. After narrowly avoiding trap attacks several times, he arrived at the third platform at the end.
Ahead is the third level of the temple trial, a maze where paths can be switched at any time.
It tests the challenger's observation and judgment. The spiritual patterns on each wall in the maze are slightly different. If you take a wrong step, you may enter the trap area and die directly.
It can be seen that the process of the temple trial is full of death risks.
In Ding Yu's opinion, the Snake Ancestor's behavior was not about selecting potential warriors, but simply about slaughtering the younger generations of his own clan.
He didn't think about this question carefully.
It can be understood as the game setting of the Eclipse Clan.
Ding Yu had tried this level four times and had a certain understanding of it, so he walked towards the starting point of the maze without hesitation.
After continuous analysis and judgment, Ding Yu arrived at the fourth trial platform 15 minutes later.
The difficulty of the fourth level's challenge increases sharply.
In the challenge area, there is a huge disc with a diameter of more than 100 meters. The surface is engraved with intricate patterns and there is a deep groove in the center, which seems to be the origin of some kind of energy convergence. Whenever there is a faint light, the entire disc will vibrate slightly, as if responding to some call.
There are twelve doors evenly distributed on the edge of the disc, and each door is carved with a different totem, including roaring beasts or flying divine birds... The surface is inlaid with crystals, which complement the glowing spiritual patterns on the disc.
This is Ding Yu’s first attempt at this level.
According to the description of the forum players, this level requires challenging 12 kinds of fantasy monsters, each of which represents different attributes.
The monster is neither a physical entity nor an energy construct, but more like a projection.
Their attacks will not cause substantial damage, and the challenge process is more like rock-paper-scissors. You need to judge the attributes represented by each monster in advance, and then stand in front of the totem monster with restrained attributes to offset the attacks of the projection monster.
If the judgment is wrong, an energy wave will be released from the center of the disk to dissolve the challenger.
It can be understood as the five elements on the earth restraining each other, similar to wood restraining earth, earth restraining water, water restraining fire, fire restraining metal, and metal restraining wood.
Players need to stand in the center of the disc, and when they find the totem on any door is lit up, they should quickly go to the totem door with the opposite attribute and stand still.
That alone doesn't seem to be a high challenge.
The difficulty lies in that as the challenge progresses, multiple totems will light up at the same time. At this time, you will need to return to different totems in turn at an extremely fast speed and offset the attacks according to the rhythm.
Controlling the movement speed and rhythm is the key to passing this level.
As for how to judge the attribute restraint relationship between different totems, the guidelines have already given the answer.
You just need to memorize the order of the totem attributes given, and you can easily make the judgment.
Ding Yu's first attempt ended in failure without any suspense.
One hour and 1 minutes later, he came to the temple again to continue his unfinished challenge.
Failure, small dark room, rebirth, space teleportation, continue to challenge... This process repeats continuously, and each failure means the loss of 15 points of sacrifice power.
Another three days of death cycle.
Ding Yu consumed a total of 645 points of power and finally reached the tenth level.
The final level of the Temple Trial.
In front of the platform is a stone wall that extends upward with no end in sight. Challengers need to climb the almost vertical cliff and accurately click on the retractable stone slabs on the cliff until they reach the top of the trial.
During the challenge, there will be a series of sudden crises such as gravity suppression, biting ice, spewing flames, howling storms, etc.
The challenge of the tenth level took Ding Yu 27 hours, during which he kept trying and exploring.
After dying 11 times in a row, it finally reached its climax.
The moment he stood on the top of the trial, a ray of light shot out from the statue of the Snake Ancestor standing in front of him and connected with his body.
The challenger prompt then sounded in his mind and on the regional channel:
[Challenger Tip (Region): Congratulations to the player "Time Universe" for completing the challenge trial of Snake Ancestor and receiving a sacrifice power reward of 1400 points]
The difficult trial challenge was finally completed. Ding Yu stood on the top of the cliff, opened his arms, looked down and shouted excitedly.
Emotions are stirring.
The nerves that had been tense for many days were released at this moment, and the joy of victory surged like a tide.
An indescribable sense of accomplishment arose in my heart. All my efforts and persistence were rewarded at this moment.
Ding Yu's mouth corners lifted unconsciously, his eyes sparkling with excitement and pride, which was an affirmation of his perseverance despite falling down countless times. The moment he completed the challenge, he felt like he had experienced a rebirth after defeating himself.
In fact, the benefits of this challenge were not high. He wasted many days of hunting and spent all his time on clearing the level.
The energy consumed and the pain endured are not proportional to the benefits.
But the sense of accomplishment and joy that comes from completing a challenge is something that hunting evil spirits and insect swarms cannot bring.
Calling up the forum, he took a screenshot of the successful challenge and put it on his personal homepage. This was his first milestone success in the monster world and it was worth keeping.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, his behavior was extremely stupid.
But that’s how he plays the game.
This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to change the Star Vein combination to the Assassin flow after the assassin flow gameplay came on the scene.
Low tolerance for error is not a problem. He believes that through countless times of practice, he can move among the insect swarms as gracefully as the assassin player in the video.
But just as he was about to leave, a connection prompt suddenly popped up.
With doubts, he connected the line.
Nanny is also crazy: Brother, I have read the strategy you posted before and followed you. I just saw that you updated the information. Congratulations on completing the temple trial (envy.jpg)
Time: Thank you. What can I do for you?
The nanny is also crazy: QVQ I also want to complete the temple challenge, can you take me through it together?
Hearing the other party's request, Ding Yu shook his head decisively.
Just as he was about to give a negative answer, the other party's next sentence made him stunned:
The nurse is also crazy: Brother, please take me through this once. After completing the challenge, I will deduct the resurrection consumption and give you all the rewarded sacrifice power. How about that?
The player's answer instantly made Ding Yu's heart move.
After so many days of hard work, he has mastered the rhythm and skills to complete the trial.
However, these skills are useless after the challenge is completed. After all, each player can only challenge once, and the information will be recorded by the Snake Statue, making it impossible to complete the challenge repeatedly to get rewards.
After hearing the nanny's crazy idea, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Now a large number of players in the forum have given up on challenging the Snake Ancestor Trial because the challenge is too difficult and requires a lot of energy.
Is it possible to earn a certain percentage of the coaching fee by helping people through customs?
This way, other players who want to complete the trial can earn sacrifice power, and he can also earn extra income through the skills he has figured out.
With an idea in mind, he immediately responded:
Space of Time: No problem, but I have a request. I cannot guarantee that I can lead you through the temple. Failure is inevitable in the process. Since you have decided to let me lead you, you have to stick with it all the way and experience failure again and again. But after you succeed, I can charge you nothing.
The nanny also went crazy: No problem, thank you brother!
Space of Time: Come to the temple, I'll be waiting for you at the door. Let's form a team first, and you can see your location on the map later.
[Challenger Tip: The nanny is also madly applying to team up with you. Do you agree: Yes/No. ]
The consciousness touches the option in the mind, and a prompt pops up indicating that the team has been successfully formed.
At this time, Ding Yu also walked towards the teleportation array next to the Snake Ancestor statue.
The moment you step on it, you feel a strong sense of weightlessness.
When his vision became clear, he found himself on the stone altar at the entrance of the temple. Under his feet was a blurred one-way teleportation array, and next to him stood a statue of the Snake Ancestor.
Walk out of the temple and call up the map.
I found that there were no teammate icons on the map.
This proves that the other party is still in the Tezuka Mountains and has not yet been teleported to the Colorful Mist Coast map.
The Universe of Time: Where are we?
The nanny is also crazy: Brother, I am on the way home from the Bloody Plains, it will take about half an hour. I am playing the magic defense flow now, my legs are short and I can’t run fast, don’t worry, I am running hard.
In the voice channel, the nanny was talking frantically and panting, obviously she was running.
Time: It’s okay, I’ll wait for you, don’t be in a hurry.
The nanny is also crazy: Thank you, brother.
……
Half an hour later, a blue light spot appeared on the map.
The location is in the node transmission area near the coast.
At this time, it was moving quickly towards his location.
After waiting for a long time, the nanny also appeared in Ding Yu's sight frantically.
He looked to be about 18 years old, with beads of sweat running down his slightly immature but already angular cheeks. Wisps of white mist gathered in his mouth as he breathed, clearly inlaid with the Air-eating Soul.
"Brother, I'm here."
Seeing this, Ding Yu smiled:
"Don't worry, sit down and have a good rest. I will take you in to challenge the trial later."
"Yeah." The nanny nodded and took out a piece of roasted spirit fish meat from the space bag. She tore it into two halves and handed one half to Ding Yu:
"Brother, I haven't eaten yet, let me eat something first. This spirit fish meat is very delicious, you can try it too."
Seeing this, Ding Yu did not refuse. He took the fish and stuffed it into his mouth.
Time passed while eating, and the night slowly unfolded on the earth like a delicate painting, and the afterglow of the setting sun that penetrated the treetops faded away.
The air around became increasingly humid, and insects that glowed like fireflies quietly lit up in the darkness. At a glance, they looked like stars. The rainforest at night had a dreamy beauty that did not exist in the real world.
Ding Yu stood up at this time, looked at the boy who had finished the third can and said:
"let's start."
"Let's go." The young man nodded vigorously, with a humble attitude.
……
A day later, after eight consecutive failed challenges, Ding Yu led the boy to the top of the temple trial in the ninth challenge.
A beam of energy shot out from the Snake Ancestor statue and merged with the boy's body.
The challenger prompt then sounded in the boy's mind and on the regional channel, and the boy cheered for it.
A smile also appeared on Ding Yu's face.
At this time, the transaction prompt pops up:
[Challenger Tip: Player "Nanny is Crazy" has applied to trade with you. ]
Ding Yu chose to refuse without hesitation.
Accompanying the boy to challenge the temple trial was more to try whether he could pass it with a burden.
It turns out that although the difficulty has increased significantly, it is completely feasible.
After this test, Ding Yu gained confidence.
……
On that day, a new post on the forum attracted the attention of many players.
【Clear the Temple Trial of the Colorful Mist Coast. 】
Posted by: Time.
Content: I will charge you to pass the Temple Trial on the Colorful Mist Coast. It is basically guaranteed that you can pass it within 5 times, and 70% of the proceeds from passing it will be charged: 980 points of sacrifice power (which can be given after you pass it). Brothers who want to pass it can make an appointment through private messaging (you can pass it within 1 hour and 50 minutes if everything goes well). There is only one requirement, which is to listen to my commands in the voice channel throughout the process, don't walk around or move around, and if you don't listen to my commands, I will cancel the cooperation directly.
(Attached: Screenshot of the player standing at the top of the trial)
……
The appearance of the order post made many forum players exclaim in disbelief.
In the eyes of most players, it is difficult to clear the Temple Trial alone, but they did not expect that there are players who can take orders and lead other players to pass the level.
And they only charge 70% of the profit, so this deal is obviously a sure win, and both parties benefit.
A large number of cooperation orders poured into Ding Yu like snowflakes, and he received 50 orders in a short period of time, which scared him so much that he decisively rejected subsequent applications from players.
I plan to complete these 50 orders first and then consider subsequent orders.
Ding Yu’s success also gave some technical players ideas.
The emergence of a profit model with clearance allows them to see the possibility of earning huge amounts of money in the short term.
One player can gain 980 sacrificial power, even after deducting the possible resurrection cost, the sacrificial power gain can still be more than 900. If there are 10 players, the sacrificial power gain can be more than 9000.
Such a terrifying money-making effect makes many players jealous.
Players who have a certain degree of confidence in their own skills flocked to the temple, wanting to familiarize themselves with the trial levels as quickly as possible, and then learn from Shi Yu to take orders from the forum to help them pass the levels and make a lot of money.
After all, the temple’s rewards are only distributed a limited number of times, so the first batch of people who try it out will definitely make a fortune.
Ten thousand words are finished, please give me a monthly ticket~
