Chapter 115 Hidden Mission, Map Update

Death Arena.

On the third day, Gu Chen's second round of battle arrived as scheduled.

As the energy patterns on the floor of the room lit up, Gu Chen was teleported to the giant sword arena on the second floor of the ladder.

This time the opponent is an armed alien warrior.

It has skin with blue and white stripes, and two huge eyes that look like the ET alien in science fiction movies. It has a thin body and holds a ring-shaped weapon with serrated edges in each hand.

Through analytical scanning, Gu Chen obtained the other party's information.

【Three shots】:
Hunting Level: 24
Target introduction: A member of the Yi Cong tribe, from the Thorn Rose Island in the Cangxing Sea, and one of the few remaining warriors of the Yi Cong tribe.

……

After reading the analysis information, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the guidance, the probability of encountering a strong enemy in the early stage is low, but not zero.

But this alien with hunting level 24 was obviously not among the strong ones, and he felt that he had a high probability of winning this battle.

As the voice of the barbarian slave sounded in the sky, the restrictive bracelet was automatically released.

This time, Gu Chen learned his lesson and decisively summoned the powerful Axe to attack Sanshe.

The characteristic ability was activated, and the golden axe blade was coated with a layer of light blue energy, which was the characteristic blessing of the Broken Knife.

"kill!"

He roared to cheer himself up, and then suddenly swung the barbarian axe towards Sanshe.

Ding!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and weapons collided. With the blessing of inherited attributes, Gu Chen knocked back three shots and sent them sliding three meters away with one strike.

Feeling Gu Chen's strength, Sanshe's expression became very nervous, and he obviously realized that he had encountered an opponent whose strength completely suppressed him.

Seeing this scene, relatives and friends in the live broadcast room cheered.

A new round of confrontation then began.

In terms of skills, Gu Chen still had no advantage and was completely beaten unilaterally.

However, he had an absolute advantage in terms of physical strength. Both his Barbarian Axe and Crushing Knife were level 25. With the blessing of the double soul attributes, he could repel the three shots in every round of collision, causing his palms to feel numb due to the shock.

After less than three minutes of fighting, Gu Chen turned into a bloody man, with wounds cut by the rings all over his body.

The situation of the three shots is not much better.

He tried to dodge but found that he was not as fast as his opponent. Every time the axe came, he could only choose to parry and then counterattack.

The base of his thumb cracked in the successive collisions, his forearms trembled uncontrollably, and a strong sense of fear emerged in his eyes.

The breathing rhythm becomes rapid under the influence of emotions.

But what followed was a hysterical attack. He danced the serrated ring so tightly that it was impenetrable, constantly leaving deep wounds on Gu Chen's chest and arms that could be seen to the bone.

During this process, Gu Chen was very smart in protecting his neck, head, and other vital parts.

As long as his vital parts are not seriously injured, he will have enough energy to continue fighting and kill his opponent on the ring.

The battle lasted until the 9th minute. Gu Chen seized the opportunity and decisively switched the inherited Broken Sword Soul to the Level 1 Speed ​​Soul.

Feeling weak due to his weakened physical fitness, Gu Chen took a few steps forward and suddenly raised the powerful axe to chop at Sanshe's neck.

Already familiar with Gu Chen's attack rhythm, Sanshe, who was about to take a parrying stance, had no time to defend against the sudden acceleration of the attack. His heart was instantly filled with fear, and he subconsciously exclaimed:
"what!"

Click!

Blood splattered everywhere, and the head flew off and landed on the arena.

"Oh my god, I'm so tired."

Exhausted, Gu Chen supported his body with the barbarian axe, glanced at the headless three shots, and then couldn't help retching:
"Do you have to be so real... Fortunately, I still won."

The battle ended at this moment, the voice of the barbarian slave sounded in the sky, and spatial spiritual patterns appeared on the ground.

After the feeling of weightlessness, Gu Chen returned to the room.

Looking out the window, I found that the scenery outside had changed again. The Giant Sword Arena turned into a Fire Arena, with flames burning around the ring.

The area of ​​the room was expanded again. In addition to the wooden bed, there was also a table with a lot of food on it.

Sitting on the ground and gasping for breath, Gu Chen's eyes swept over the spatial spiritual patterns on the ground.

While waiting, the cold voice of the barbarian slave sounded:
"2 wins in the arena, two low-level martial spirit beads blessed by the ancient gods, 69 hours and 39 minutes of rest time remaining (translation time is hours)"

The spiritual patterns in the ground space lit up, and two low-level martial soul beads emerged from them.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen's live broadcast room suddenly exploded.

Two low-level spirit beads mean a gain of 4268 points of sacrificial power. After two duels, Gu Chen has earned 6402 points of sacrificial power.

This is much more profitable than working so hard in the Tezuka Mountains.

After putting the low-level martial arts spirit beads into the space bag, Gu Chen couldn't help laughing and gave a thumbs up to the camera.

"You beast, you beast! First you took in a second-generation Yuanchu, and then there was a hidden mission. Why can't I get any of these benefits? I am almost biting my teeth. I can't live like this. We are all players, why should all the benefits be yours?"

"Please, in the third round, he must meet the big guy. I am not staying in the live broadcast room to watch him earn sacrifice power. I want to see him quickly roll back and live a poor life with us. Don't let him continue to earn like this. According to this reward increase, he will probably be given three stars for winning the third round. This is 6402 points of sacrifice power. I won't allow him to earn like this!"

"No, you won the second round so easily? It felt even easier than the first round. Is this how you please the Ancient God?"

"Please, Ancient God, quickly arrange a strong enemy for him that can blow his head off with one slap. If the opponent in the next round is still so weak, I... I will come to the live broadcast room to rant."

"Gou Zhan, you're going too far. We agreed to go to Colorful Mist Coast for a vacation, but look what you did behind our backs? You're using a sack to carry money, right? Send another red envelope in the guild channel, you're pissing me off to death."

……

After drinking five bottles of healing potion in succession, the injuries on his body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then he took out a bottle of physical recovery potion and drank it in one gulp. Immediately, his heart rate slowed down and the soreness in his muscles gradually dissipated.

After his level increased, Gu Chen discovered that the number of healing potions he needed to drink to repair his injuries was increasing.

This is related to the growth of the health bar value. The healing potion restores a fixed amount of health.

If this trend continues, primary healing potions will no longer be able to meet healing needs, and you will need to purchase more expensive intermediate or advanced healing potions in the mall.

However, he made a lot of money from this round of victory, so he naturally wouldn't feel sorry for the loss of the potion.

Glancing at the live broadcast room that was still wailing, Gu Chen grinned, then switched to the guild chat channel and sent a lucky red envelope of 888 points of sacrifice power:

"Stop scolding me. I have benefits, so why should I leave you out?"

Suddenly, the curses in the guild voice channel turned into blessings, and the brothers were very sincere.

Standing up, Gu Chen came to the space teleportation array and asked:

"Hello, can you hear me? Can I apply to start the third round of battle in advance?"

Finding that the man slave didn't say anything, he raised his leg and stepped on the teleportation array twice.

The three-day rest period seemed too long to him. It was extremely boring to be locked in the room. He could only pass the time by browsing the forum and voice chatting. Now that he had recovered, he wanted to start the next round of battle in advance.

The intensity of the subsequent rounds of battles will increase significantly, and he feels that it will be difficult to continue with his own strength.

It would be better to face it earlier. He doesn't need any mental preparation, just do it.

He asked this question several times in succession, constantly knocking on the spatial spiritual patterns on the ground.

The voice of the barbarian slave finally sounded:
"You want to start the third round of competition early?"

"Yes."

"as you wish."

After Man Nu's emotionless voice, the spiritual patterns on the ground lit up.

After a strong feeling of weightlessness, Gu Chen appeared on the flaming arena.

Looking up, I saw that the opponent had arrived ahead of time.

It is nearly two meters tall, with a sturdy physique and muscles like carved from rock. Its naked upper body is engraved with complex spiritual patterns and totems. On its left arm is a totem of a ferocious giant beast with its head raised and roaring, and on its right arm is a totem of a six-winged bird with its wings spread. Just standing there, it has an aura of majesty without even being angry.

At this moment, she was looking him up and down with her dark green eyes, then she opened her mouth to reveal a row of pitch-black teeth, and bit them lightly with a slightly playful look in her eyes.

"Guidance, what does this mean? Can you translate it for me?" Gu Chen was stunned.

[Any incomprehensible provocative behavior can be understood as calling you an idiot. ]

Gu Chen: ...

"That makes sense. I'll beat him to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Barbarian Axe appeared in mid-air, and his analytical ability was activated, and the opponent's introduction information flooded into his mind.

【Sha Gu Gu】:
Hunting Level: 41
Target introduction: A member of the "Sea Demon Clan", a large clan in the Shenmu Sea area, with extremely rich experience in land and sea combat.

……

I saw that the other party’s hunting level had reached level 41 and he had extremely rich combat experience.

The arrogance on Gu Chen's face disappeared instantly.

This is a high-end game!

Although he had the blessing of dual soul attributes, he knew that he had won the previous two victories by relying on his attributes.

Facing an opponent with higher attributes than himself and who completely crushes him in combat skills, he has no chance of winning.

Just as Gu Chen expected, he was completely suppressed at the beginning of the battle. He was kicked and several ribs were broken in one encounter. In the end, he ended up in a miserable defeat and returned to Emperor's Tomb Village. A large number of players watching in the live broadcast room saw this scene and sent bullet comments to celebrate and welcome home.

At this time, Qi Sheng, who was at the Origin Altar, was also watching Gu Chen's performance in the arena.

After seeing Gu Chen being killed, an idea came to his mind.

Why not help players enter the arena and grab the rewards given by the ancient gods?

This approach is entirely feasible in conception.

In fact, before this, he had considered launching settings for arena-related functions.

The purpose is to create a virtual space similar to the setting of moba games, where players can hone their combat skills and improve their combat awareness through matching confrontations.

But after thinking deeply about this idea, he felt that it was not feasible.

After all, Monster World is not a real game. Creating a virtual space for ladder competitions has severely squeezed the time players have to hunt monsters and slowed down their development and growth.

Between the improvement of combat skills and the improvement of strength, it is obvious that the improvement of strength is more important.

Even if players have no skills, they can suppress the enemy's attributes through rapid growth.

No matter how strong your fighting skills are, they are vulnerable in the face of absolute power.

After comprehensive consideration and clarifying the pros and cons of creating a virtual arena, he abandoned this setting.

But after the Ancient God Arena appeared, his thoughts changed.

In his opinion, this is an arena tailor-made for players.

Players can hone their skills in it, and also receive the sacrificial power needed for growth from the ancient gods. They can get double benefits for free without spending any coins.

It is simply a gift from nature.

In the future, batches of players will be sent to the arena. If they lose, there will be no loss, and if they win, they can make money back.

More importantly, in order to achieve more wins, the importance of technical improvement will be magnified among the player group.

As for the situation in the Ancient God Arena, he already had a general understanding of it through the guidance and analysis.

This is a special place where descending forces harvest the power of fighting spirits through fights between fighters.

Every dead warrior will be pulled into the soul refining furnace below the island by the power covering the arena island, and eventually made into a martial soul bead, which is the reward that Gu Chen gets when he wins 1 game.

With each victory, the rewards are significantly increased.

If the player can get more than five wins, each victory will receive a high-level martial arts soul bead from the ancient gods, and one soul bead can advance the player to the next level of body forging.

In response to this, he asked the guide to calculate through big data. With the current average strength of the players, they can only win one game at most.

If you are a top player, three wins is almost the limit, and you may even get four wins depending on your luck.

As for achieving five wins, the probability is very low.

When you reach the five-win stage, every opponent you encounter thereafter will be a fighter with extremely rich combat experience or outstanding personal abilities.

Players have neither technical nor attribute advantages when fighting against them.

But this question is not important to Qi Sheng.

After all, the strength of players is growing very fast, and in the future they will surely be able to climb higher in the arena, gain more victories, and bring in more sacrifice benefits.

Thinking of this, Qi Sheng turned his head and looked at the guidance floating beside him:
"Guide, the player's soul cannot be extracted by the soul refining pool under the arena. Will it be discovered?"

Face to face questioning, the guide shook his head:
[This is a "death soul-sucking formation" that covers a wide range. During its operation, it does not pay attention to the death of a single arena warrior, or whether his soul has been sucked, so the probability of being discovered is very low.]

"There is another question. Will the players' life-and-death duels in the arena generate the fighting spirit power that the ancient gods need?"

[Yes, the power of fighting spirit is not drawn from the player, but from the player's combat behavior and the state of willpower during combat. ]

【Using the example of the Earth era you were in before crossing over, it can be understood that this is a kind of virtual mining behavior, that is, the process of producing virtual currency through calculation. The physical strength and mental strength of the two fighting parties can be classified as graphics cards of different qualities. The higher the strength, the better the graphics card computing performance. The act of fighting is to promote the calculation. According to the logical problems given by the "fighting spirit" of the world rules, the answers are obtained through fighting, and this answer is the output of the fighting spirit power. 】

[As for the importance of willpower, it can be understood as the energy that drives the graphics card to operate. If there is too little energy, even if the life strength of both parties is very high, it is impossible to effectively generate the power of fighting spirit. Therefore, the Ancient God Arena requires fighters to maintain high morale and determination to die. ]

[As for the rewards given by the ancient gods for winning battles, in addition to helping fighters repair their bodies damaged in battle, they are also a form of spiritual comfort, preventing fighters from choosing death due to being unable to bear the pressure. This is undoubtedly a loss for the ancient gods.]

"So, players fighting in the arena can also bring benefits to the Ancient Gods."

[Yes, but they cannot compare with other fighters. First of all, in terms of willpower, players do not have the will to face death with indifference. In their hearts, they always have a way to return to Tezuka Village, which makes their fighting will much weaker... Of course, I am not referring to all players. There must be some players who have extremely high fighting will. ]

【The second is the collection of soul power. This is a cyclic system. The soul strength of the fighters who are strengthened by the martial soul beads will also be improved. After death, they will re-enter the soul refining pool to be made into martial soul beads. According to my analysis and calculation, the loss is 32.7%, but the martial soul beads given to players are 100%. That is, for every expenditure given to the players, the ancient gods can only obtain the power of the fighting spirit, but cannot recover the spent martial soul beads. 】

[In summary, while players are taking advantage of the Ancient Gods, they can also bring benefits to the Ancient Gods, but the benefits are not much.]

In Qi Sheng's opinion, the guiding analysis is actually a good thing.

If a player enters the arena only to take but is unable to produce fighting spirit power, the ancient gods will naturally discover the abnormality over time.

At that time, it will be difficult for players to enter the Ancient God Arena again, and they will definitely be blacklisted.

Only if you can bring certain benefits to the ancient gods, the truth will not be seen through, and you can fleece them for a long time.

After confirming that this method was feasible, Qi Sheng began to think about how to transport players in batches to the arena.

Gu Chen went to the Death Arena, one of the three major arenas of the Ancient Gods. Its specific location was on an island in the middle area of ​​the Ghost Shadow Sea, adjacent to the north of the Cangxing Sea.

The center is separated from the Colorful Mist Coast by a slowly expanding Kuroshio region, and its straight-line distance to the center reaches 9495 kilometers.

If a player wants to reach this distance without a flying vehicle, it will require a huge amount of energy and will encounter various dangers along the way.

Therefore, the plan of marking the map coordinates and letting players go there on their own is definitely not feasible.

After the idea of ​​creating a space teleportation array emerged in his mind, he shook his head.

This idea also seemed unfeasible to him.

The amount of sacrificial power consumed in creating a stable space teleportation array is not important. What is important is that a stable space teleportation array has the possibility of being destroyed, unless a part of the space is divided out like the Colorful Mist Coast.

But now the space between Caiwu Coast and Dizhong Village seems a bit crowded, and there is simply not much space to be divided.

There is also not enough sacrificial power to divide and create new space nodes.

So, how can we help players get to the Ancient God Arena?
At this moment, he looked at the guidance floating beside him:

"Guide, any good ideas?"

Faced with the question, the guide fell into deep thought. After a brief silence, an exclamation mark appeared in the upper right corner of the water ball:
[Boss, how about this? I can mark the aircraft that are hunting fighters in various seas on the map used by players, so that players can see the specific location of the aircraft when they open the map. Players nearby can actively approach the aircraft and go to the arena in the form of being captured.]

After hearing the instructions, Qi Sheng smiled:

"It's feasible. It's very feasible. In this way, the arena aircraft in the eyes of players will become a moving symbol that triggers hidden tasks. As long as they touch it, they will be sent to the arena to participate in the fight and get rewards."

"Just do as you say. When a spacecraft enters the Cangxing Sea area, you will put a moving mark on the map."

[No problem, boss.]

After discussing a feasible solution, Qi Sheng released the latest game tips:

[Challenger Tips (All Channels): Players "Fighting Never Stops" triggers the hidden plot of the Ancient God Arena, which opens a special reward: All players obtain the coordinates of the arena aircraft. ]

Function introduction: Players can open the map to view the specific coordinates of the aircraft entering the Cangxing Sea area (update and move in real time)

Tips: After approaching the arena aircraft, the player has a chance to be sent to the death arena to participate in a life-and-death duel. Each victory will receive generous rewards (the rewards will continue to increase with the number of wins)

……

After hearing the game prompts, players opened the map function one after another.

Players in the Colorful Mist Coast area can clearly see three arena aircraft flying rapidly in the Blue Star Sea.

"Damn, this aircraft is moving too fast. According to the scale of the map, it is impossible to catch up. Why is it so difficult for me to please the ancient gods (eating dirt and flipping the table.jpg)"

"It's a hidden mission, the chance of encountering it is too low. It's easier to encounter the God of Wealth in the hidden plot of Emperor's Tomb Mountains. Unfortunately, the God of Wealth has already distributed the rewards and returned to the Counter Tide Corps. I don't know when he will come next time. I hope I can be selected to go to the training camp. The body forging levels of those grandsons in the Brick Moving Corps are rising, which is too cool."

"It's a hidden mission, so you won't come across it easily. But don't be fooled by the speed of the aircraft. You can actually determine its general direction based on its flight trajectory. Then buy a smoke bomb in the mall and try to attract the aircraft. It would be great if you can catch it. The reward for winning three games is higher than a level of body forging."

"Friends of the human race, if you offer 21 points of sacrifice power and a ratio of 190, we can privately chat to establish long-term cooperation."

"I really want to go. It's like picking up money. I don't think it's difficult to win one victory, unless I'm extremely unlucky. With my average soul level of 29 and level 3 body forging, I should be able to win three times. This opportunity to get rich is right in front of me, but I don't know how to get there... No, I have to try to intercept the aircraft. I want to please the ancient gods!"

……

In the eyes of various races in the sea, the terrifying arena where being captured means death has become a hidden mission in the eyes of players.

As long as the plot is triggered, you will be sent to the arena to participate in competitive trials with rich rewards.

The chats of the human players in the regional channel also made the players of the Gillfish and Abyssal Fish tribes extremely envious.

They all watched the live broadcast of the arena that has been making a splash on the forum recently.

Knowing there is such a good place to make money, I am so excited.

They are currently at a low level, and are earning revenue much slower than the Terran players who entered the game earlier.

The income of more than 2100 points of sacrificial power for one victory was like getting rich overnight in their eyes.

But they also clearly understood that with their current soul level, even if they encountered a hidden mission, going to the arena would only give others a chance to win.

The most important thing is that the slaves in the arena may not necessarily look down on them and be unwilling to capture them and take them to the arena.

This arena event gave the players of the Gillfish and Abyssal Fish tribes a strong motivation for growth.

Many players who originally exchanged their strength for cash have also begun to prioritize improving their own strength.

Only if you have strong strength can you earn more rewards from sacrifices in the future.
