Chapter 123 Game Ecology

It didn’t matter when I was in the Novice Village, but now that I’m in Luoyang Town, there are too many places to spend money.

Internal strength, lightness skills, swordsmanship, horsemanship, equipment, elixirs, talismans... There are so many things I want to buy, but there is too little money in my bag.

I can only sell my property and make as much money as possible.

Fortunately, there are still some things in my backpack that can be exchanged for money.

I want to become an immortal and I am looking forward to learning martial arts. This is martial arts, not ordinary fighting skills, but the skills in martial arts novels, internal skills, flying over eaves and walls...

"Where can I buy it?"

"Don't worry, let's collect some intelligence first. Remember, Chengxian, in many cases, game intelligence is more valuable than equipment. Whatever you want to do in the future, you must first collect intelligence. Don't just do it blindly."

As Xiao Jie spoke, he began to wander around the stalls, casually browsing the things sold there, and soon he locked on a target.

There were only a few low-level green equipment on the stall, and even two white equipment. It was obvious that the stall owner was poor. The stall owner was only level 16, and the equipment on his body was mediocre. Even his hawking voice was weak.

"Friend, can you please chat?"

Xiao Jie said this, and directly clicked on the transaction and transferred 200 coins.

The man was surprised, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"I'd like to ask you for some information. These 200 coins are just a fee for asking for directions." If you want to collect information, you can't look for people who are too high-level or have too good equipment. If you give them coins, they might think you are insulting them.

For a guy like this, 200 coins may not be a lot, but it is probably a windfall for him.

"Okay, no problem, go ahead and ask."

The man said, since it would be difficult to sell this junk for a while, he might as well make the 200 coins.

"Let me make it clear first, I don't have any secret information to sell you."

"No secret information is needed, just some common sense questions. We are new here and don't know much about the situation around Luoyang Town. I am level 14 now, so I guess I have been here for a while, right? So I want to get to know the situation with you.

Isn't there an auction house in this game? Why are so many people setting up stalls here?"

"The auction house charges a handling fee of 10%, and it charges both buying and selling. You lose 20% on both the buying and selling, so try to save as much as you can. Generally, those who don't mind the trouble will set up stalls here to sell, and those who are rich will buy things at the auction house."

So that's how it is. Xiao Jie nodded.

"We didn't see any players leveling up on the way here?"

"What's so good about training those beasts? They don't give much experience, but they're very powerful. The key is that they give too little experience to a large group, and they're too difficult for lone wolf players. Besides, everyone levels up in a group now, so there are very few lone wolf players."

"Oh, why is that?"

Xiao Jie could probably guess why, but sometimes he had to pick up the conversation and give the other party room to express themselves.

Sure enough, the man immediately said in a tone of "You kid don't understand this, right?" "Why else? To save life. Everyone knows that we only have one life, so of course we practice as safely as possible. I heard that the first generation of players in the early years were very reckless, and they were all very arrogant, but ended up with heavy casualties. The players nowadays have learned their lesson, and there is strength in numbers, right?

The most popular way to level up now is the human wave tactic. Dozens of people form a large group, specifically pick monster settlements, and directly rent the place out for training. They kill one by one as they spawn, and it is safer with more people.

Then there are the level-suppression teams, which usually consist of three to five people. They specialize in fighting low-level monsters, and usually they have to fight monsters at least five levels lower than them to be safe. In this way, no matter what disgusting skills, conspiracies or ambushes the monsters have, they can just crush them and chop them down by relying on the difference in level attributes.

The most common thing is to suppress level 15 monsters. When you are level 10, you will fight level 20 monsters, and when you are level 15, you will fight level 10 monsters. Because for every level the monster level is lower than the player's, there will be a % experience penalty. Suppressing monsters at level is equivalent to only getting half the experience.

But it’s okay as long as it’s safe. Just practice slowly.

There are even more ruthless ones, suppressing level 7 or 8 monsters. So you may see that the highest number of monsters in Luoyang Plain is only over 20, but in this town there are players of level 27 or 28, all of whom come here to kill the monsters.

Of course, the leveling efficiency is a bit poor. After all, this game has experience penalties for suppressing levels and killing monsters, and when there are too many people, there will be no experience points to share."

So that's how it is. It makes sense.

"Besides the human wave tactics and level suppression tactics, are there any other training methods? Is there no normal way to kill monsters?"

"Yes, for example, the most popular cavalry tactics, only players with horses can join the team, a team of more than a dozen people all charge on horseback, the front row with lances and sabers, the back row firing bows and arrows, no monster can withstand a few waves of charge.

Even if you encounter a BOSS in the wild, don't be afraid. Just use all your strength to mount and shoot, and use the infinite kite style. If the monster runs a little slower, you can't even touch it and just shoot it to death.

Especially after the major guilds’ military commanders started to train, this type of cavalry became popular everywhere.”

Xiao Jie thought to himself, "So that's how it is." He thought he was lucky, but he didn't expect that he would be so unlucky now.

"But where do so many generals come from? Isn't it said that it is difficult to upgrade generals' professions?"

"You can take your big brother with you. Send him directly from the Novice Village to Luoyang Town. You can learn horse riding for ten taels of silver. Then you can buy a bunch of junk horses. You can use the money to raise your prefecture's reputation to respected. Then you can go back to the Novice Village to get a spear to level up. It's safe and secure if you have a horse.

At level 10, there is a % chance that you can get a military commander profession. If someone helps you, it will only cost about one million. Tsk tsk, it's a pity that I didn't have money at the time, otherwise I would have taken this route."

As he spoke, he could not help but feel envious. Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was indeed comfortable to have a big guild as a backer, unlike a newcomer like him who was still a lone wolf player and had to fight hard to reach level 10.

That person seemed to have opened up.

"Besides that, there's also the Sit and Wait method. You have to learn how to pull up onions in dry land first, then find a tower, house, or big rock in the wild, jump up to it using Qinggong, and then wait for the monsters around to refresh, then use the bow and arrow to kill the monsters and level up.

This method is suitable for dealing with monsters that cannot climb high, but it is slower. After all, the speed of monsters spawning in this game is relatively slow, and generally only lone wolf players with few teammates will do this. "

Xiao Jie thought that everyone was really trying every possible way to avoid death.

“There’s nothing we can do. There are too many unexpected events in this game. A while ago, a guild organized more than 30 people to go down into a mine, but no one came out because of something that happened.

Brother, listen to my advice. All the major guilds are recruiting people now. I suggest you add one. It is better than going it alone."

"Thanks for the information."

"Brother Feng, should we join a guild? I think the Dragon Knights are pretty good."

"No, no."

"why?"

“Everything has two sides, and working together will naturally have its advantages. There is strength in numbers, and people will help each other when they go out.

But once you join a guild, you will inevitably face all kinds of hidden exploitation. Unless you are a member of the president's family and friends, or a member of a small circle, you will only be cannon fodder when you encounter danger as an outsider. If it were a normal game, you would just have to endure it, but you must not easily join this kind of death game."

"But what if the president is a good person?"

Xiao Jie sneered, "If the president is a good person and does his best to help the members, I have seen such a guild before, but such a guild will not last long.

Because the better the president is, the more likely it is that there will be those insatiable big babies among the members. In the end, the president's enthusiasm is exhausted, and he will either leave sadly or turn evil.

To put it bluntly, bad money drives out good money. No matter how enthusiastic the players are, the constant wear and tear will eventually wear them out. Only actions driven by interests can last.

So where does the profit come from? Of course, it comes from the members, or they get priority to get the equipment they have won, or they share it with their relatives and friends. I have seen too many such things.

So in the end, almost without exception, they will be transformed into interest groups. If you can enter the core circle, you will be very happy, otherwise you will just be exploited.”

I wanted to become an immortal, but Xiao Jie's cold water made me a little depressed.

"Is it so dark?"

"No way, that's human nature. Of course, there are some guilds that stick to their original intentions and are fair and just. If you really want to join, go ahead. You might actually meet one, but you have to be careful."

"Brother Bufeng, I think what you said makes sense. If I join a guild and the guild leader assigns me to be a tank or do a dangerous mission, should I listen? What if the mission assigned by the guild conflicts with my plan to revive my brother? Let's just go together."

Xiao Jie thought that the boy was teachable.

"That's exactly what I want. If we want to level up, we must increase our strength to the greatest extent possible. Internal strength, lightness skills, sword/axe skills, and horsemanship are necessary. Our next goal is to master these four items.

Then you can go leveling.

You should try to sell this book "Sweeping the Thousands of Armies" at a stall. Look at the prices of other people's items and don't sell them at a loss. I'll go deal with the other things."

"Don't worry, Brother Feng, there's no problem selling this skill book."

Xiao Jie traded the Sweeping Thousands of Troops to me, Yu Chengxian, and took the remaining things with him and went straight to the pawn shop.

Xiao Jie asked the guard about the location of the pawnshop, and then went straight to the pawnshop.

I have found a lot of burial objects when I was fighting tomb robbers before. There may be valuable things among them, but they need to be identified first to know their value.

You can buy an identification token for identification, or you can ask a pawnshop clerk to do it for you. Relatively speaking, it is much cheaper to ask someone to do it for you.

He found Chaofeng and explained his purpose. He nodded and said, "It costs 100 coins to identify an item, regardless of its value. Are you willing?"

Xiao Jie said: "Of course no problem, help me take a look at this stone seal first."

Then he clicked to submit the item - a strange stone seal.

Although I know it is a spirit stone talisman, I still have to identify it before I can use it.

100 Wen were gone just like that.

"Good stuff, a spirit stone seal, which can be used to open the secret treasures set by ancient immortals and the locks on ancient tombs."

Xiao Jie thought that the man really knew what was good, so he handed over all the burial objects in his backpack.
