Chapter 157: Black Tide Easter Egg, Spring Water Appears

Chapter 157: Black Tide Easter Egg, Spring Water Appears

In order to better execute the plan of stealing resources, the evil spirit of earth controlled the black tide to join the battle.

But this time, the Black Tide's target was not the players, but the fleeing Evil Armor Clan.

The evil spirit of the earth has no idea why the player wants to fight the evil armor tribe, nor does it want to know why. It only knows that its plan to steal resources has been shelved because of the evil armor tribe.

For this reason alone, this ethnic group has no need to exist in the eyes of the evil spirits on earth.

What the players see as a poor black tide monster is, in the eyes of the Evil Armor Clan, an irresistible horrific natural disaster.

Even its life structure was completely restrained by the black tide.

When the life force of qi and blood is strangled by the black tide, it is like a giant whale in the deep sea swallowing a small fish swimming in the sea. It has no power to resist. This is not only a crushing of the evil spirits in terms of numbers, but also the absolute dominance of high-level energy over low-level energy.

It's like ink dropped into clear water, quickly turning the entire pond black.

The Evil Armor Clan's breakout and resistance not only failed to reduce the intensity of the Black Tide, but instead it grew rapidly as it was devoured, and the stored Black Tide energy continued to increase.

This is a completely unequal war.

To be more precise, this is a feast for the Black Tide, but it is just a war in the eyes of the Evil Armor Clan.

In fact, the evil spirit of the earth has never taken small forces like the Evil Armor Clan seriously.

Since it arrived in the monster world, there are only two forces that it feels are worthy of being its rivals.

One is the fighting Zerg, which has the ability to evolve rapidly and requires constant updating of troops to fight against.

Another death that cannot be devoured, and the evil spirits killed by them cannot give back to the Black Tide player family.

The rules controlled by these two forces are almost unsolvable, which makes it feel extremely pressured.

As for the Evil Armor Clan, not to mention that their overall strength is far inferior to the Black Tide under the control of the projection.

Even if the overall strength of the Evil Armor Clan is stronger than the Black Tide under projection control, he can easily defeat them and transform this force into nutrients for the growth of the Black Tide.

In a protracted war, the Black Tide always becomes stronger as the war goes on.

Small-world wars are the training grounds for the new evil spirits of the black tide. Basically, they all start from a disadvantage and grow into a terrifying black tide that devours the entire world.

Therefore, in the eyes of the evil spirit of the earth, except for the main battlefield of the super large world, the black tide has always been fighting a disadvantageous situation.

Small forces like the Evil Armor Clan can only be considered as snacks of the Black Tide and are not worthy of being called opponents.

In this battlefield, the evil spirit's focus was not on the Evil Armor Clan, but on the members of the Play Clan who were chasing after them.

After controlling the black tide to cover the Evil Armor warriors, the black tide swept straight towards the player.

The familiar emotional manipulation tactics are used again.

The body of the Scourge soldier in front of him expanded like an inflatable, and then he gave the player a thumbs-up, then slowly turned it upside down:

"Hey~ Aren't these players? Are you chasing them or are you giving these weak sheep aerobic exercise? Look, they have run so many laps, can you catch up?"

Other evil spirits also followed up with taunts:

"I guess you are definitely not hunting them down, but just enjoying the process. You kindhearted people want to let these weak sheep live a little longer, right? Well, I believe you are deliberately letting them go."

"What kind of pursuit? They are acting as tour guides for the monsters, showing them around the map!"

"I have to give you a heads-up now to remind you that you have achieved the achievement: Best Runner-up Award."

"Have they changed their careers to become fitness trainers recently? I think they are almost becoming muscular from being chased."

……

The Black Tide Evil enters the face-to-face taunting mode.

Many of the quotations have never appeared before. Although some of the words formed by the combination of various vocabulary do not express the meaning, most of them can accurately mock the players' anger points.

This also makes players realize that this earth-mind bully has advanced again.

They have started to create taunts based on the players' behavior.

What is certain is that during this process, the Earth Evil Spirit is still collecting feedback data from players and including effective taunts.

The various mocking words made the players angry and they started cursing. The two sides immediately exchanged fire, fighting and cursing at the same time.

Only players from the Giant Snake Clan and the Night Demon Clan were still fighting passionately. The more fiercely the Black Tide taunted them, the more powerful they became. It was obvious that they really liked this kind of combat environment.

During this period, players realized that taunting evil spirits was useless, and all the taunting quotes they said were directed at the evil spirits.

He also cursed the evil eye.

To this end, the evil eye hiding behind the scenes remained indifferent, but the evil spirit of the earth's thoughts had its blood pressure soaring upon hearing this.

Especially one player's words:

"You coward hiding in the back, if you have the guts, come out and fight your grandfather for three hundred rounds, but... your cowardly personality only qualifies you to hide in the back and control the situation, you won't get a chance to fight head-on, just keep hiding, cry in the arms of the evil eye, beg for a hug, beg for comfort."

This sentence really touched the pain point of the evil spirit.

Before becoming the commander of the Black Tide, he was a frontline soldier participating in the war, responsible for leading the Black Tide's local evil spirits to charge into battle.

This is also the reason why he chose to take action himself when he first arrived in the monster world.

The cultivation of command awareness was also gradually entered into with the help of the Evil Eye, and a large number of command and combat skills were learned.

But deep down in its heart, it has not forgotten the exhilarating feeling of charging at the head of the enemy on the battlefield of the small world.

It clearly remembered that he had used similar words to mock a god in the small world who was hiding behind his people, but it did not expect that similar words would be used on itself.

As his mentality exploded, he decisively controlled a large number of evil spirits to tear the player who had touched its sore spot into pieces.

The verbal battle continued, and both sides entered the red temperature state at the same time, and the anger level continued to soar.

During this period, players did not forget the resources carried by the Evil Armor Clan.

In order to report to the Blue-skinned Evil Eye, the Earthly Evil Spirit also did not forget to devour the resources carried by the Evil Armor Clan.

The fight between the players and the Black Tide quickly turned into a scramble for the resources of the Evil Armor Clan.

Players who have treasure hunting rats will summon them at this time, creating opportunities for them to pick up armor that has fallen on the ground, or armor that has been half eaten by the black tide, snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

The remaining Evil Armor warriors caught in the middle became the target of concentrated fire.

The player and Black Tide are like two teammates playing together. They kill the Evil Armored Tribes explosively while passionately scolding each other and tripping each other up. The whole process is full of energy.

After all the resources of the Evil Armor Clan were divided up, the evil spirit of Earth Mind controlled the black tide to retreat.

The Evil Eye also told the Blue-skinned Evil Eye at this time that during the external devouring war, he discovered that the player race suddenly attacked, and was preparing to bring this group of players into the Evil Moon territory to fight on their home turf.

And the players did as the evil spirit of the Earth Nian wished, shouting the slogan of capturing the Earth Nian bully alive, and rushed straight to the Evil Moon Field.

Start the field war mode that both sides are familiar with.

In the high-intensity confrontation, the only thing that players can be thankful for is that the Earth Evil Spirit never uses the most disgusting natural disaster troops. Although the output of a single troop is very small, the advantage is that the number is sufficient.

They are all output system troops that are easy to kill.

During this period, the evil spirit of the earth is also observing the player's situation and recording the player's combat information in real time.

After several hours of fierce fighting, it discovered that the abilities used by this new batch of players had several new types that had never been seen before.

In particular, players have also learned a summoning ability that allows them to connect to other dimensions and summon soldiers to fight.

This type of summoned lifeform does not have strong combat power, but its abilities are indeed not weak.

In particular, there is a flying unit that can release connection rays to repair the player's injuries, thereby improving the player's combat endurance.

The already difficult players become even more disgusting with the assistance of this kind of endurance summon.

But the evil spirit of earth thought also has a solution to this.

The Kuroshio troop pool includes many system troops that can deal with flying units.

In a flash, the "Disaster Bow", a type of death-disaster soldier, was created.

The soldier's appearance is a humanoid skeleton with a bony frame. There are two balls of pitch-black flames in the empty eye sockets of the skull. The ribs on the body are like rotten fences, sparsely arranged in the chest cavity, flickering and rising with the ghost fire on the chest.

In both hands, he tightly grasped a longbow that emitted a faint light.

As the bowstring was pulled, dark energy gathered at the center of the string.

Boom!
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking wind was heard, and the perception data provided by the Evil Eye predicted the flight trajectory of Guang Lingyu in advance, killing Guang Lingyu, who was already of a low level.

The black tide surged, and a large number of disaster bows were generated. The Evil Eye provided real-time battlefield data support. Each attack was a predictive shot based on the flight trajectory. In less than a moment, all the flying light spirit feathers in the sky were cleared.

This is the terrifying thing about the Kuroshio.

The huge arsenal of arms allows Kuroshio to cope with combat in various environments without any shortcomings at any level.

The most important thing is that the Black Tide troops can be replaced at any time through feedback and reshaping.

The only thing the evil spirit commander has to do is to increase the strength of the black tide, and the strength of the troops will naturally increase accordingly.

After clearing the Light Spirit Feather, the evil spirit of the earth once again controlled the black tide and started a protracted war.

During this period, he discovered that in addition to the summoned creatures, there was a group of figures behind the player army who controlled strangely shaped creatures, and the combat power of these creatures was very high.

Even the evil spirits generated by this evil moon area are difficult to contend with.

Fortunately, the number is not large.

But what puzzled him was that the players who controlled the strange creatures seemed to be particularly afraid of death, and cared very much about the safety of the lives of those being controlled. Compared with the fearless fighting style of other players, they seemed unique.

The presence of this special life gave the Earth Thought Evil Spirit a headache, and it couldn't help but say:

"Evil Eye, how come the Playing Race is just like the Zerg, getting stronger and stronger?"

In response to the question, Xieyan was silent for a while before speaking:
"I don't know the specific situation, but we analyzed this issue last time. It's possible that the way the Play Clan invades the monster world is from weak to strong. The first ones to appear are cannon fodder-level warriors. The later ones to come, the stronger they are and the more abilities they possess."

The evil eye's analysis caused the evil spirit on earth to fall silent.

The current situation is that the combat strength of the Wan family is always consistent with his growth rate, or even faster than his growth rate.

If it weren't for the black tide energy transmitted through nodes in other areas, the nodes he controlled would have collapsed long ago.

There are fighting Zerg in front and playing Zerg in the back.

This kind of oppressive environment of being surrounded seems impossible to break through.

"Earth Mind, don't think too much. Once we have drained most of the energy from this field, the combat power of the nodes we control will be greatly improved. When we try to break out, we must open up a channel to obtain external resources as soon as possible."

"Okay." The evil spirit nodded in response.

After saying this, his consciousness switched and he continued to control the Black Tide to fight against the players.

With the strength of the black tide in this Evil Moon Realm, it would not be difficult to kill these tens of thousands of players, but it did not intend to do so.

This battle must be fought continuously to continuously attract more players to join the game so that it can steal energy resources by killing evil spirits through the players.

"Di Nian, there are many members of the Wan family attacking this time. We can try a new combat mode strategy." Xieyan made a suggestion at this time.

Hearing this, the evil spirit of Earth Nian nodded immediately, and in an instant began to generate a new system of troops.

Based on the battle data information provided by the Evil Eye, he discovered that the Wan Clan had a characteristic: they were not absolutely united internally.

Especially in the battle with the Evil Armor Clan, it was found that players would often snatch the resources dropped on the ground by the Evil Armor Clan warriors.

In other words, all players have an uncontrollable desire and pursuit for "spiritual treasures", even if this behavior may cause their own death or even affect other players on their side.

This made him think of a new tactic, which was to destroy the unity of the player army in facing the outside world by providing spiritual treasures.

But he doesn't know whether this method is feasible yet and needs to be tested in practice.

Under the control of the evil spirits on the ground, the Shadow Evil Army was born.

Its figure is vague and uncertain, like a ball of dark fog rolling in the wind, with wisps of dark purple aura lingering around it, and its body presents a sense of nothingness like a spirit.

The black tide energy gathered at this time, forming an ink-black energy crystal that floated in front of the evil shadow ghost.

Under the control of the evil spirit of the earth, the ghost picked up the energy crystal and then attacked in the direction where the Wan family gathered.

The ghostly figure moved at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it arrived above the army of players and pounced straight towards the direction where the players were most concentrated.

The sudden attack startled the nearby players and they all looked up.

Suddenly, ghostly and sinister analysis information emerged in their minds and was shared on the regional voice channel.

[Black Tide·Ghost]:
Hunting Level: 57
Target analysis: A type of soldier that is part of the Black Tide Shadow family. It has a special life structure that is immune to some physical damage, has a high movement speed, and has the ability to parasitize souls. The parasitized life will continue to be disturbed by various negative states and continue to suffer damage from the corrosion of the Black Tide energy.

The player's attention quickly turned from the ghost to the black glowing gem in its hand.

After the analysis ability is turned on, relevant information about the gem emerges.

[Black Tide Energy Crystal]:
Item Analysis: A compressed crystal formed by the energy of the black tide, a test item in the Earthly Evil Spirit's combat plan. It can be exchanged for 9877 points of sacrificial power after sacrificing the Emperor's Omen.

……

Seeing the analysis information, the players were stunned.

The analysis of the information has completely revealed the evil spirit's thoughts.

This is the method used by the evil spirits of earthly thoughts to fight.

The voice channel exploded as a result:

"Damn it, this evil spirit is throwing a treasure chest for us to grab, right? How can it come up with such a vicious tactic... But I really want to know what to do?"

"They say the beauty trap is hard, I don't agree, but I really can't stand the 'giving money trap' of the evil spirit of the ground. No matter what, I'll just grab it first."

"Everyone, listen to me. Don't fall for the evil schemes of the Earth Nian bully. Let me check if there is anything wrong with this energy crystal. It's okay for me to die. I have no choice but to die for my brothers."

"No, you all said not to fall for it, so why are you still pushing forward like crazy? Your greed is written all over your faces."

"As expected of a local bully, this scheme is so blatant that we players can't handle it. It's too cruel."

Players are very clear about the concept of 10,000 points of sacrificial power.

Shopping in the mall, pet training, body level improvement, star vein level improvement, armed vehicle creation... there are so many places where you can spend your energy.

If you can get these 10,000 points of sacrificial power, you will definitely become rich overnight.

When the ghost flew over the player's head, nearby players decisively began to chase it, and the legion formation that was originally advancing forward suddenly became chaotic.

The evil spirit of the earth did not feel sorry for this energy crystal. It let the ghost circle around it and then threw it directly towards the area where players were densely populated.

Suddenly, in the aerial view, the players gathered towards the area where the energy crystals were located like goldfish in a pond fighting for food.

The results of the preliminary test made the evil spirit in the rear extremely satisfied.

He doesn't understand the player's unconventional thinking logic, but he knows that the player has weaknesses that can be exploited.

In a flash, he condensed five ghosts again, each holding a black tide energy crystal and flying towards the player army.

By using treasures to attract and interfere with the direction of the player's army, the goal of gaining in-depth control over the direction of the war can be achieved.

It turned out that this method was much more effective than he expected.

After many successful tests, the evil spirit of Earth Nian couldn't help but laugh.

There are also players who have the same idea as the evil spirit of the earth.

The tactics of the Earthly Evil Spirit remind players of the Easter Egg Monsters that exist in many games, also known as Treasure Box Monsters.

Killing this type of monster usually yields resources and game currency far higher than normal monsters, or special equipment.

This type of monster would definitely be the target of players' competition in other games.

This time is no exception. Players are attracted by special monsters carrying treasures and want to get rich overnight.

The evil spirit of Di Nian felt that he had made a profit and had mastered a combat strategy against the Wan family.

The players also felt that they had made a profit, as the Black Tide actually began to produce treasure chests during the confrontation.

Even the appearance of treasure chest monsters makes players feel that the battles in the Evil Moon Realm have become more interesting. They are full of anticipation for the occasional refreshed treasure chest monsters, thinking that they might fall on their heads at any time.

Qi Sheng, who was observing behind the scenes, was not surprised when he saw this scene.

The players were doing something, and the evil spirits were also doing something. He found that the evil spirits were indeed very smart. By constantly collecting information from players, they could always design new combat strategies, which would always produce miraculous effects.

But as long as it can bring benefits, the evil spirit of the earth will use its tactics at will, and he will not have any targeted response plan.

It's like the strategy of the Earthly Evil Spirit using players to steal the black tide energy resources in the Evil Moon Realm.

This strategy made the evil spirit of the earth very happy, and the players also benefited from it. His real-time sacrificial power output even experienced a short-term surge with the help of this evil spirit of the earth.

So as long as it can benefit players, nothing else is a problem.

At this moment, the guide floating beside him looked thoughtful, and an arm appeared to support his chin and said:
[Boss, is there a possibility that many years later, when the Black Tide administrator who manages this area inquires about the development of each node and the information of the forces they have fought against, other Black Tide nodes report the records of their battles with many forces, but only the Nian Evil Spirit handed in a thick player strategy manual, because it has done nothing else in these years, and has only fought against players.]

Qi Sheng: ...

The guide's complaints made Qi Sheng burst into laughter.

Just as the instructions said, the evil spirits of the earth have been fighting against the players since they came to the monster world.

Even if the scene changes, you are still fighting with the players.

……

Five days later.

The original altar.

Through these five days of observation, the players have gained a lot of new insights.

First of all, in terms of containment, three new original monsters were contained.

The first one is the second generation origin: Psychic Shockwave, which was taken in by the player "一斤葱勿姜" in the Winter Snowfield area.

[Spiritual Shockwave (Second Generation Origin)]:
Original Characteristics: Release mental ripples, causing mental shock damage to a single or ranged target, ignoring the target's physical defense capabilities. The specific effect is affected by the soul level, the player's own mental strength, and the target's mental strength (Note: If the damage intensity is far higher than the opponent's mental consciousness can bear, it can cause the target to feel dizzy, nauseous, confused... or even die).

This is the third mind-interference type of soul after Taunt and Soul-Separation Spear.

But compared with the first two souls, the mental shock wave is a purely mental damage characteristic, with the core being to destroy the opponent's mental consciousness.

The emergence of Psychic Shockwave has also allowed the functional auxiliary flow to evolve into a new style that can both provide assistance and deal damage.

Among them, the Star Vein combination provided by the most popular strategy post on the forum is called: Puppet Maker.

Star Pulse combination: mental shock wave, control, air intake, light shield, and restraint.

The performance effect is to weaken the monster's mental consciousness through mental shock, and then control it by manipulating the soul and leaving a mark.

The other souls tend to be auxiliary. They can cooperate with the team in combat and have strong combat power when acting alone.

The second one is the original monster that the player "Emiya Giant" took in in the Blue Star Sea: Brain Overclocking.

[Brain Overclocking (Third Generation Origin)]:
Original characteristics: can greatly improve memory and concentration, and strengthen thinking processing ability.

This original ability is a template ability that existed in the early soul library, and this time it was successfully contained by the player team in the sea.

The original monster is an octopus-like sea creature with a hunting level of 17.

For most players, the role of brain overclocking features is dispensable.

But for arms dealers, pharmacist alliances, and other players engaged in scientific research, this soul characteristic is comparable to a magical skill.

After using the special abilities, your thinking logic will become exceptionally clear, which can significantly improve your learning efficiency and help you quickly master new knowledge.

The forum has not yet developed any StarVulnerability combinations suitable for brain overclocking.

There is only one relatively suitable soul, and that is food.

When brain overclocking is turned on, players will continue to consume mental energy, and eating air can provide endurance.

This is also the reason why the Food of Breath is called the Universal Soul, and its strength is always ranked T0 in the version.

The dual recovery effect of Qi, blood and mental strength can be used by both physical and magical systems, and can basically be used with any school of thought.

Coupled with the reinforcement brought by the territory rule of "gathering", the strength of eating qi has been significantly improved.

The third one is the second-generation original monster sheltered by the player "Ignite Water Nuclear Power" in the dense forest area of ​​​​the Colorful Mist Coast: Withering.

[Withering (Second Generation Origin)]:
Primal Characteristics (Passive): All damaging skills can inflict Withering damage, causing negative states such as Qi and Blood Deficiency and Weakness. The Withering effect can be stacked infinitely (the higher the damage intensity, the more Withering energy is added).

This is a passive damage soul similar to the venomous property of the black armored snake.

Compared with the poison trait, the biggest advantage is that the damage can be stacked infinitely.

The effect of Vicious Poison can only stack the amount of poison, but not the intensity of toxicity.

The Withering trait does not have this limitation and can stack damage effects infinitely.

However, the method of superposition is not to calculate based on the attack frequency, but to determine based on the energy and blood consumed by a single attack, or the mental power.

Not long after this soul was taken in, it was evaluated by strategy players and was pushed to the T0 level by forum players in a short period of time.

The reason is simple: this is a passive feature.

As more souls are contained, the strength of the passive characteristics is gradually increasing.

Too many active characteristics mean that the mental energy or blood consumed each time they are released will also increase accordingly.

If you want to ensure output sustainability while increasing damage, passive characteristics are the best choice.

In the soul library that has been received, each soul with passive characteristics is at least T1 level strength, and has a natural advantage in scoring compared to active souls.

After the Withering feature appeared, the strength of the magic school has been improved again.

Among the three major mainstream gameplays, except for the stone statue injury-bearing style, the other two major categories of styles already have two passive souls.

Passive characteristics of magic output: Breathing, Withering

Physical output passive characteristics: poison, forbidden blade

Passive characteristic of the damage-bearing tank: resistance.

After three original monsters entered the containment wall, the total number of contained original monsters reached 37.

In addition to the original monsters, two new domain nodes have been integrated into the space of Dizhong Village these days.

These two domain nodes are both from the dense forest area of ​​the Colorful Mist Coast, namely the Phantom Sea and the Eye of the Storm.

These two domain nodes are both resource-based, and their characteristic effects are spiritual energy nurturing and spiritual spring nurturing respectively.

This was also the first time that Qi Sheng saw a node area that produced spiritual spring resources. The effect was that it could continuously generate spiritual spring water with healing effects.

When thinking about how to use the Lingquan resource node, Qi Sheng’s first thought was to connect to the mall and continuously produce recovery potions to sell to players.

It can save him a considerable amount of money on making potions every day and increase his source of income.

But after thinking about it carefully, Qi Sheng felt that there was no need to do so.

The amount of potions that a level 1 spiritual spring can produce each day is less than one fortieth of the amount that players consume each day.

With the growth of the latest batch of new players, the amount of medicine consumed is still increasing, and the output of spiritual spring water is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

His core concept has always been to cultivate the growth of players. The stronger the players, the higher his income will be.

Thinking of the players constantly complaining about the low output of sacrifice power in the game, he suddenly had a new idea.

That is to create a treatment point in the Novice Village space to treat various injuries for players for free, including the pets following the players.

However, the total amount of treatment energy per day is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

For example, if a player is seriously injured but is reluctant to consume potions, he could only recover by resurrecting from the dead. Now, he can consume the spiritual spring water produced by the spiritual spring for free at the treatment point to recover to his peak condition.

However, Qi Sheng felt that it was necessary to add a restriction to this setting, which would prevent customized pets from enjoying.

After all, the daily output of spiritual spring water is limited.

Many custom pets are of relatively high levels, and the spiritual spring energy required to heal them can heal a large number of players.

From the perspective of fair distribution, healing points are only available to players and growth pets.

As for the choice of the healing location, from the perspective of providing convenience to the players, he decided to combine it with the teleportation point.

The teleportation points of the three spaces, namely, Dizhong Village Space, Colorful Mist Coast Space, and Winter Snowfield Space, are connected to the spiritual spring to produce energy at the same time, and players can use them when they return to any space.

Based on the analysis of the average physical fitness and mental awareness strength of the players, approximately 6339 players can be treated for all injuries free of charge every day.

But the real number is obviously lower than 6339.

After all, the recent emergence of a large number of new players has lowered the overall attribute values.

In the foreseeable future, as more resource nodes similar to Lingquan continue to be accommodated, the amount of free treatment services provided to players will gradually increase.

After counting the profits of the past five days, Qi Sheng began to check the guild information.

Based on the guidance feedback, he found that the two major guilds, which were called the Demon Cult by the forum players, had encountered a development bottleneck.

These two guilds are the Doomsday Technology Guild, which is known as the arms dealer, and the Pharmacist Alliance Guild, which develops genetic medicines.

According to the guidance feedback information, the Doomsday Technology Guild is preparing to build a research and development base in the Colorful Mist Coast area to develop more powerful technological weapons.

In order to build this base, the Doomsday Technology Guild has even begun cutting down trees and preparing to clear a piece of open space.

Secondly, the Pharmacist Alliance is also considering developing enhanced potions and selling them to other players.

According to the information read from the guidelines, the positioning of this type of medicine in research and development is to improve physical fitness as the core direction, and the strength of the side effects is not taken into account at all.

Therefore, this type of potion needs to be used at critical moments, and the various side effects after taking it are not within the consideration of the members of the Pharmacist Guild.

Players can be resurrected after death, and no matter how serious the side effects are, they are only a death.

But the increase in combat power brought at a critical moment may be able to turn the tide of the battle.

The positioning of the strengthening potion is very clear. It is a special magic medicine that can turn the tide of battle at a critical moment.

This is why the Pharmacist Guild is called the Demon Cult by players. They are always researching various "evil" potions, but each product comes with extremely strong side effects.

Even if there are multiple improved versions of genetic medicine, few players are willing to try it.

The research and development of these technologies requires professional sites and equipment and cannot be done manually.

However, there are a series of risks in building a research and development base abroad.

After all, in today's monster world, no place is safe.

There are three potential risks.

The first risk is the arrival of new forces. Invasion forces from small worlds such as the Skyfire Clan and the Evil Armor Clan are constantly pouring in. There is a chance that they will suddenly descend over the R&D base built by the players and destroy all the equipment and production lines that the players have worked hard to build.

This will have a serious impact on the development of technology and even cause it to regress.

The second risk is the airborne invasion of predatory forces.

It was like the Mechanical Overlord's plunder of the Emperor's Tomb Mountains area. They were defenseless and their sudden arrival was a devastating blow.

The third risk is the invasion of relocation forces.

This situation has happened before. For example, the Black Wind Tribe chose to relocate due to survival risks, and there is a probability that they would migrate to the Colorful Mist Coast area.

Death doesn’t matter, and even being blocked at the exit of space is not a big deal.

But if the R&D base is destroyed, the technological wealth created by the players with great efforts will suffer heavy losses.

A similar situation happened to Shu Yan. Because it couldn't defeat the Black Tide and other forces, it kept moving its territories and recently landed near the Ascending Clan.

In order to obtain a better living and development environment, migration of tribes is a normal trend in the monster world.

From the perspective of protecting players' property, Qi Sheng felt that he needed to set aside a space for players to use so that they could safely develop various technologies in the space scene.

Doing so is very beneficial to the development of the player's legion.

After all, if these technology research and development guilds want to grow, they have to serve the players, then earn resources from other players, and then continue to invest in the research and development of new technologies, forming a positive cycle.

While the project of the R&D base built outside has not yet been fully launched, Qi Sheng decided to provide support in advance.

At three o'clock that afternoon.

The reminder of the version update sounded in the players' minds, and the update content was posted in real time on the forum:
[Challenger Tips (All Channels): The game is about to be updated, the content of this update is as follows]:
Posted by: Guidance (official)
Update 1: Open the treatment point function
Update introduction: After this update, resurrection points and teleportation points will be used in combination, and a healing point function will be added. Players can call out the healing function in the resurrection point area (specific) to heal themselves and their growing pets.

Note: Daily healing energy is limited and will be refreshed at dawn the next day after it is consumed.

Update setting 2: Space plot auction preview.

更新介绍：2524年12月28日（两天后）对帝冢空间西区1-3号开放地块进行拍卖，玩家以公会形式参与竞拍，成功竞拍后可获得对该地块的自由改造权。

Note: The location of the plot will continue to move outward as the space area grows, and the free plot area expansion function will be opened later (not yet opened).

Comment area:
Cooking wine in moderation: Wow, players can build their own houses in the space, but I wonder why they don’t sell the houses directly, but sell the plots of land for custom construction. How can we ordinary players have the ability to build houses ourselves? Can’t we just provide a house shape to choose from and sell the houses directly?
Not at full strength: The above comment made me laugh. There are only three plots of land and they are being auctioned in the form of a guild. You actually think that ordinary players have a chance to participate. They must have been taken away by big guilds to build employee dormitories. The prerequisite for ordinary players to own one is to join a big guild. I feel that the Temple Guild should have one, but in terms of comprehensive financial resources, we still have to look at the Demon Cult.

No Game No Life: I have received positive reviews for the update of the first healing point. In the future, you don't have to die to recover from serious injuries. But I don't understand why the officials are so stingy. Since they have already planned to build healing points for players to restore health and save players' energy expenses, they ended up setting a first-come-first-served limit. I protest and demand that the treatment be free without limit, or at least every player can have free healing once a day.

I Will Not Dream of Nanhua Zhenren: The first setting smells so stingy, worthy of being a shitty official. They have mentioned many times in the forum that the output of sacrificial power is not enough, but you didn’t modify the settings on the output income of sacrificial power, such as increasing the income by 200%, but instead provided a limited free treatment?

Little Taoist Priest Who Subdues Demons and Monsters: What can I say about the first update? Although it is a good thing for us players, it is like we are crying out for food in a dry land, and we are counting on the officials to give us heavy rain or dig a well to provide us with a channel for obtaining water. In the end, you sent us a box of mineral water, and the distribution is limited. I was so angry that I punched you... Forget it, I won’t criticize you for fear of being banned. I still have to play this game for my retirement. If my luck attribute is secretly adjusted, I will be doomed.

Cold-hearted LSJ: The first update got good reviews, but the second update is hopeless for commoners like me. Even if there is a chance, free building is difficult. As a weak ordinary player, how can I have the ability to build a house? Although there is no shortage of experts with hands-on skills in the game, they are a minority after all. I hope that the official will release houses that ordinary players can live in as soon as possible. I am looking forward to it.

……

Players had heated discussions on the forum about this update.

Especially the second update, the use of open space plots, was puzzling to the average player.

However, after seeing the updated content, the members of Doomsday Technology Guild and Pharmacist Guild were extremely excited.

They had previously decided to build a research and development base in the relatively safe and pleasant Caiwu Coast area.

But I didn't expect that the land use rights would be opened at this time.

This means that they can build their R&D base in an absolutely safe space, while the outside world only needs to build a test site framework.

I was originally worried about what would happen if the base built outside was suddenly attacked and destroyed by external forces, and how to protect the safety of the base equipment.

But this problem now has the best solution.

In the chat channels of the two major guilds, the guild players spontaneously organized themselves and began to pool money, vowing to win a plot of land through auction.

Both major guilds are confident in this regard.

In terms of spending power, they have the Human Federation behind them, so there is no possibility of them being suppressed by those super spending players.

Secondly, compared with the overall strength of the guild, they are not as good as the Shen Tang, Fanzui Tuan, and other large guilds.

But in terms of the guild's sacrificial power and wealth, these guilds really can't compare to them.

It is obviously too late to prepare at this time, after all, the land auction will start in two days.

No matter how rich you are, you can't buy a large amount of sacrificial power in a short period of time.

Especially after the pet function was launched, many players' reserved power had been used up and they did not have enough power to support their own guilds.

The major combat guilds also have the same idea.

Although their enthusiasm for the land auction was not as high as the two demon cult guilds.

However, bidding for land is a good opportunity to prove the strength of the guild and attract more elite players to join, so no one wants to miss it.

After the update, posts about purchasing sacrificial power emerged like mushrooms after rain, pushing up the price of sacrificial power.

This made the small-spending players furious, but they could do nothing about it.

In fact, at this stage, there is no difference between small-paying players and civilian players, and it is impossible to create a significant gap.

In reality, one million credit points can only be exchanged for more than 3000 points of sacrifice power in the game. It also depends on whether there is anyone willing to sell. Generally, you have to buy them in small amounts.

This price even makes many ordinary players find it difficult to understand, and they think that no matter how rich they are, they cannot spend money like this.

The current consensus among players is that small investment is equal to zero investment.

In other words, anyone who does not have a starting investment of several million can be classified as an ordinary player.
