Chapter 216: Bliss Camp, Welfare Information
Chapter 216: Bliss Camp, Welfare Information
[Purchase successful, deduction of Bliss Points: 3.9 points, start strengthening the "Mirage Body" bloodline. ]
The strengthened stone tablet released black light that enveloped Yang Xiu, forming a large energy cocoon.
He suddenly felt as if his body had turned into a boiling furnace.
The blood turned into boiling mist and flowed through the blood vessels, and every bone was wailing under the heavy burden.
The black energy continued to wash over his body, like a heavy hammer hitting him again and again.
Looking down, I saw fine cracks all over the surface of my skin.
The severe pain felt like thousands of red-hot steel needles piercing his bone marrow. Yang Xiu raised his head and let out a wild beast-like roar from his throat.
No anesthesia, no mental shielding... The process of blood strengthening required him to use his willpower to endure. He watched with his own eyes as his bones shattered inch by inch under his broken skin, but under the cover of black energy, strangely no blood spurted out, only blood beads slowly seeped out.
At this time, black mist rose from the bone joints, piecing the broken bones together and weaving them into a translucent glass-like structure.
This kind of strengthening is carried out simultaneously inside and outside, as if there is an invisible surgeon controlling this strange blood replacement operation.
It is called bloodline, but to Yang Xiu it is more like a body replacement.
"grass!"
Yang Xiu clenched his teeth at this time, and his ribs exploded in his chest.
He almost fainted from the severe pain.
Just when Yang Xiu thought that he might not be able to endure such a painful transformation, his pupils suddenly shrank into two silver lines.
A kaleidoscope of phantom light appeared on the retina that was originally stained red by blood.
Countless overlapping wonders of reality and illusion flowed through his field of vision: giant whales dancing on the coral reefs, bronze cities hanging upside down in the clouds, and desert oases burning with phosphorescent fire. The blood memory of the mirage body was rewriting his life code, but the pain had mysteriously disappeared.
The problem is, there was no reminder in my mind that I had crossed the warning line.
This proves that the 100% pain-blocking mode is not activated.
This feeling is very wonderful, countless illusions flash in his eyes, and each illusion can bring him a sense of pleasure.
"Brother Guidance, what's going on?"
[I'm using a small dose of Paradise brand anesthetic on you, fearing that the transformation process will have a serious impact on your mental state. If an outsider accidentally breaks into the Paradise Palace, the dose on the Lord of Paradise will be three hundred thousand times what you are currently experiencing.]
After listening to the guide's explanation, Yang Xiu immediately understood the reason.
Now I am an elite player, no longer a newbie who can be sacrificed at will in the eyes of the Welfare Lord.
The treatment is naturally different.
The transformation continued, and what oozed out from the cracks in the skin was no longer blood beads, but mist with a pearly luster.
The mist did not dissipate, but condensed into liquid and flowed back into the body along the cracks. Wherever it passed, the texture repaired itself like a living jade.
Yang Xiu, who was no longer in pain, looked down at his heart.
With only a skeleton left, what was beating in the chest cavity was no longer a living heart, but a nebula-like cyclone that was constantly collapsing and expanding.
Click!
A crisp voice sounded from behind, and Yang Xiu switched his perspective to look.
He was shocked to find that his entire spine was broken in the middle and turned into thousands of silver threads the moment it was separated from his body.
It then combined with the black light that enveloped its body and reunited.
As the new spine was reformed, its surface was covered with flowing dark lines, as if it only took a thought to decompose the spine back into mist.
The rest of the body is also reorganized at this time.
When the last bone was reconstructed, Yang Xiu raised his hand with trembling hands, and saw three spiral light patterns on the palm of his hand. Each pattern corresponded to a core ability inherited from the Mirage Body.
Switch to the guidance view and look at yourself.
The cracks covering the entire body also twisted at this moment, and the old skin peeled off piece by piece like a weathered pottery figurine.
The new skin glowed with the soft light of moonlight shining through thin clouds.
When the last wisp of mist penetrated into his body, Yang Xiu fell heavily to the ground.
There was a faint glow like a moon halo flowing under the skin, and every breath would leave a brief solidified mist mark in the air.
The raised palm showed an unprecedented sense of transparency, as if it could decompose into billions of suspended crystal dust at any time.
[The primary transformation of the Mirage Body is completed, and the awakening degree is 13.7%. ]
The cold reminder voice of the Lord of Bliss sounded in my mind.
At this time, his appearance had completely changed. From the perspective of the guide, he had a younger face and silver-blue vertical pupils.
He tried to make a fist, and his entire forearm suddenly turned into a translucent state. He continued to exert force, and his body shattered into small crystals bit by bit.
With one thought, the right arm was reassembled.
However, there are still crystals attached to the surface of the skin and cannot be integrated into the body.
Yang Xiu knew that this was because he did not have enough control over his new body.
This is also the biggest difference between the Bliss players and their genuine players.
After each strengthening, he had to go to the illusion provided by the training space to familiarize himself with the ability. He could not master it perfectly after embedding it like the soul ability.
Click!
The large black cocoon shattered.
Yang Xiu's figure reappeared in front of the black stone tablet.
Turning his head, he found that his teammates were also wrapped in black light cocoons and were undergoing blood strengthening transformation.
Touching the stone tablet again, Yang Xiu spent points to enter the training space.
He needed to master how to use this new body as quickly as possible, and he had to read the instruction manual to figure it out.
Half a day later, Yang Xiu's figure returned to the death space.
The teammates also returned from the training space at this time.
Look up.
The stone statue chose the "collapse rock bloodline" enhancement.
His height had increased significantly, his dark blue skin was covered with cracked basalt layers, and veins of molten red gold were embedded in the grooves of every muscle.
Hexagonal crystals proliferate on the shoulder blades, and the spine protrudes like a crustal fault, with jagged rock spikes extending from the end.
The most eye-catching thing is his right arm, which is larger than his left arm and looks ferocious and domineering.
It is no longer what it used to be.
Black Snake chose the "Phantom Body Bloodline" enhancement.
The black robe she was originally wearing was replaced with a set of tight clothes, which fit her exquisite body tightly, outlining her slender waist and long legs just right. Her skin became as white and delicate as mutton-fat jade, with a faint luster, as if covered by a layer of gauze, revealing a subtle breath of temptation.
Her long, shiny black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, with slightly curled ends, swaying gently with her movements, adding a bit of charm.
His eyes became bright, with a faint green light flashing in them, like a cat's eyes in the dark night, blinking inadvertently, captivating people's souls.
Under the high nose bridge was a pair of slightly upturned red lips, which were looking at him expectantly:
"Captain, my stinger weapon has also been upgraded to level 5."
When Black Snake spoke, his brows were like a blooming rose, so beautiful and charming.
"Ah."
In response, Yang Xiu nodded indifferently.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Black Snake's eyes, but he quickly suppressed the emotion.
"Have you all mastered your new bodies?" Yang Xiu continued to ask.
Faced with the question, the players of the Soul Team nodded one after another.
There were still three days left before the mission was forced to start, but Yang Xiu had no plans to rest.
As a genuine player, he knew clearly that all forces in the monster world were working hard to develop.
The intensity of future wars will gradually increase.
If you want your teammates to survive, you have to speed up their growth and show their value to the Lord of Bliss.
Perhaps one day in the future, these teammates will be reused by the Lord of Bliss.
Just like a champion fighter in the eyes of the ancient gods.
At this point, the mandatory mission will be completely over, and teammates will no longer be cannon fodder that can die at will.
He carefully analyzed the way the Lord of Bliss built the player legion and thought of the Legion Against the Tide.
The same legion model that integrates multiple races will inevitably establish a large-legion war model in the future.
At this time, capable players of Paradise will be able to stand out, take charge of a branch army, and achieve great success.
His teammates had no idea about his decision.
When he arrived at the teleportation point, a list of selectable tasks emerged in Yang Xiu's mind.
[Cave World: Kill the Wailing Skeleton Warriors in the Cave World scene and collect Skeleton Spirits (0/300).]
[Cave World: Complete the trial mission in the "Xuanfeng" scene of the Cave World according to the strategy requirements and obtain trial rewards.]
[Winter Snowfield: Enter the Winter Snowfield area to steal the node resources guarded by the Snow Ridge Wilderness: Empty Element Stone (Energy Intensity Calculation: 0/150000). ]
[Winter Snowfield: Kill the invading Wan Clan warriors (Elite Assessment Task - 150 points will be awarded for each Wan Clan killed). You can go to the teleportation point to end the task at any time.]
[Free Mode: You can freely explore the area where the Paradise Palace teleport point is located, and return after obtaining the required amount of resources.]
After becoming an elite player, the mission mode changes.
You can choose to perform tasks from the list, or apply to go to the area where the Paradise Palace node is located for free exploration.
According to the instructions, the tasks in the list are all resource intelligence collected by the Lord of Bliss after lying dormant for many years.
But for the sake of safety, the Lord of Paradise never left the Paradise space, nor did he let his people go out.
As a result, intelligence remains intelligence and is not transformed into resources.
Now these places where resources may exist are released to the Paradise players in the form of tasks for them to explore.
In terms of cowardice.
The cowardly butterfly ranks first in the eyes of players on the forum. Every time the moon phase changes, it will hibernate and avoid the world, and never fight a battle that it has no chance of winning.
The second one is the welfare master who has powerful strength but chooses to hide in an independent space.
Perhaps only on the day when he becomes a god, will the Lord of Welfare walk out of the main hall of Paradise and bathe in the natural sunshine.
Compared to Shuyan, Lord of Welfare is like the other extreme.
These two guys both have the ambition to stand on top of the monster world.
The Lord of Welfare's idea is to move forward steadily. Knowing that the monster world is full of dangers, he will not take any risks.
During this period, the team improved its strength through the huge resource income produced by the Paradise Entertainment City, and invested in the research and development of a new legion system, thus gradually reaching the top.
The book says just the opposite.
Shu Yan also believes that the monster world is full of dangers, but time in the future is limited and he must seize the time to become stronger.
High risk also means high returns. Treat strong enemies as whetstones. Every turnaround from desperate situations is a rebirth from the ashes. Choose to defeat strong enemies, and then devour the challenging road of strong enemies' growth.
The only similarity between the two is that they both attach great importance to the research and development of the legion system.
The Lord of Bliss’s legion testing ground in the winter snowfield and Shuyan’s world of inspiration are both technology research and development centers for developing and testing new systems.
……
Faced with the task options in the list, Yang Xiu fell into deep thought.
He wanted to minimize encounters with his fellow villagers.
After becoming an Extreme Player, he realized how terrible his fellow villagers were.
Fearlessness of death, blessing of rules, perfect control of abilities, unlimited tolerance for error... After the encounter, there will be a battle only when one's own strength is overwhelming in all aspects.
If the gap in strength is not big, it will be a nightmare.
As a former genuine player, he was well aware of the tactics of his fellow countrymen.
Even if I can't win, I will drag a few people down with me before I die, and risk my life to force a fight with you.
The combat style of Ji Le players is mainly based on self-preservation. If they encounter a team of fellow countrymen with similar strength, they will inevitably be forced to kill several teammates.
He was really scared.
These beasts want to change by force and there is no way to stop them.
Once taunting and restraining are activated, your teammates' movements will be restricted, and you will sacrifice the lives of a group of people for a few of your teammates.
It wouldn't be a loss if his fellow villagers died, and he would make a profit by killing one, but he lost so much that he cried.
So try to avoid it if you can.
Especially since there was an activity mission in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains on the mission list, it was a suicide mission in Yang Xiu's opinion.
As a member of the Temple Guild, he used to follow the King of God to the Emperor's Tomb Mountains every day.
Going to the Tezuka Mountains to find the bully felt like going home, and I didn't feel anything wrong.
But it's different now.
If you put yourself in the Paradise player's perspective, this is simply a hellish mission.
That's not a place where normal life can exist.
The three-way melee between the earth bully, the player group, and the fighting Zerg constitutes an unsolvable battlefield of death. The environment of the novice village can be called a life meat grinder.
Once a war breaks out, life can be lost in a moment.
If he dared to lead the team there, it would be scary that none of his teammates would be able to stay behind.
But Yang Xiu also found some problems in the task list.
Many resource acquisition tasks are obviously outdated.
For example, there is a mission in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains area that requires going to the underground space to obtain the resources and wealth left by the Ice Blade.
But the problem is that the underground space node built by the Ice Blade Clan has long been integrated into the Dizhong Village, so where is the resource?
Even the silk spun by the iron beetle has become a rare resource.
This mission is simply impossible to complete. Even if you can survive the melee in the Novice Village, you have to return early after finding out the situation, and there is no reward.
Yang Xiu made a choice at this time, and his consciousness entered the free exploration mode.
The task list is automatically updated. There are many places to go in free mode, most of which are in the Pale Continent, and many of them are areas that players have not explored.
These areas have stable teleportation points to the Palace of Paradise, and most of the nearby areas have been explored by the Lord of Paradise.
Soon, their figures were shrouded in black light and the transmission began.
……
After the feeling of weightlessness, Yang Xiu's team arrived at a scene north of the Colorful Mist Coast of the Pale Continent: the Path of the Dead.
What appeared before our eyes was an area shrouded in thick fog, with extremely low visibility nearby.
The damp air was filled with a nauseating smell of decay.
There is soft humus under my feet, which makes a slight "crunching" sound when I step on it.
There were towering tombstones scattered all around, covered with dark red vines that pulsated like blood vessels, as if absorbing nutrients from the ground.
The sound of bones rubbing against each other came from the distance, sometimes far away and sometimes near.
The scene information appeared in Yang Xiu's mind.
【Path of the Dead.】
Background introduction: This is a battlefield shrouded by an evil moon. It was once one of the local war areas where the native races of the monster world fought against the black tide. The remains of countless ancient warriors are buried here. They fought for glory during their lifetime, but were eroded by the power of darkness after death and turned into cursed soldiers. The cemetery is filled with a thick breath of the black tide, which will continuously generate corrosion cores and evil life.
Scene situation analysis: The Black Tide command warrior has not yet arrived.
Moon phase: waning moon.
……
After the introduction, Yang Xiu immediately understood the situation of this scene.
At that time, the native tribes of the monster world broke out in war with the Black Tide in various regions.
The bone burial battlefield in front of Tezuka Village is one of them, and the land under your feet is also one of the battlefields.
What is certain is that the Black Tide Commander who once descended here has died in battle, but there has never been a new evil spirit warrior to follow.
The life forms active here are mainly the corrosion cores derived from the Evil Moon and the cursed soldiers who were resurrected by the Evil Moon after being killed in battle.
The situation is similar to when they were newbies.
After clarifying the environmental situation, Yang Xiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Evil Moon Realm without evil spirit warriors to rule, there are only brainless derivative evil spirits, which are not difficult to deal with.
But Yang Xiu did not act rashly.
The team he led did not have the eagle-headed demon's perception capabilities to assist them, so they needed to be extremely cautious during the exploration process.
Yang Xiu squatted down and reached out to pick up a rusty broken sword on the ground. The words engraved on the hilt automatically twisted and translated in his eyes:
[Super Dimensional Divine Blessing - Soul Fire Army 1927th Division Soldier - Wufeng. 】
There was an eye carved with some kind of blood below. After analyzing and scanning it, a message was recorded on it:
[I fight with my blood to defend the glory of Emperor Omen. Wherever the will of the super dimension points, wherever the sword reaches, every drop of blood is shed for faith. If I die in battle, I hope God will protect my hometown. I hope my sacrifice will bring about the restoration of the country. Although my body will perish, my faith will live forever. I hope my soul will always serve the super dimension. My body will seep into the earth and leave a mark of loyalty.]
With a little force, the broken sword broke into pieces.
By analyzing the information, Yang Xiu could imagine how brutal the war was at that time.
There are countless warriors like Bingren and Wufeng who are willing to fight and sacrifice their lives to resist the invasion of the terrifying black tide.
But most of them died in battle.
Compared to the legendary ancient times, the intensity of wars in the current monster world has been greatly reduced.
Almost all the top-level combat power has been used up.
But it was precisely because the top-level combat power had been exhausted that countless descending forces poured in, giving them room to grow and rise.
A new round of peak battle is brewing.
In the foreseeable future, the peak battlefield comparable to the catastrophe war will return again.
The ancient powerful race has fallen, and the war between the new powerful races will begin.
Of course, there must be some once-powerful clans that have once again stepped onto the world stage.
For example, the terrifying black tide, the force that almost destroyed the monster world will make a comeback.
For example, the player legion representing the descendants of Emperor Zhao is nominally also one of the ancient forces.
As for the Bliss Clan, Shuyan, Ancient God Clan and other forces, they are all rising stars in the monster world.
It’s a bit bitter to think about it. Looking at the future from the perspective of the Lord of Welfare, this road to the top is so difficult.
Looking at the future from the perspective of pirated players is even more miserable.
Even the Lord of Paradise may not be able to make it big, and these low-level workers have a hard time making ends meet. They might even be buried along with their boss one day.
When he tried to get out of the player's perspective, he was shocked to find that the road ahead for other forces was full of thorns, and every step he took could result in being stabbed by sharp thorns and bleeding.
The difficulties that he had once easily ignored were now everywhere before him.
For Yang Xiu, the most difficult challenge of becoming a Bliss player is not the trial difficulties, but the change in state of mind.
There is no longer the carefreeness I once had.
I could make decisions at will before, but now every decision has become extremely difficult, and every attempt may be accompanied by the risk of failure.
This feeling of oppression prompted him to learn to think.
This is when I have a bottom line in mind, thinking that at worst I'll die and I can go back to the village to continue fighting the bully.
But if I were really an Extreme Player… I feel suffocated just thinking about it, and the future would be dark.
The only thing that worries him now is how to protect his teammates.
His backup plan is to return to the village, but in the eyes of his teammates, he is the backup plan.
All hopes and sense of security were placed on him.
This is pressure and motivation.
He hopes that his teammates can grow up safely, and preferably escape from the control of the Lord of Welfare in the future and escape back to their hometown.
Thinking back to the present, he led his team members to explore the Path of the Dead scene.
Soon, a battle broke out with the cursed soldiers.
But the battle process is completely different from the player's experience.
Each cursed soldier will not be decomposed directly after death. You need to pick up evil crystals to get benefits, which is very troublesome.
But being an Elysium player is not without advantages.
The Lord of Welfare provides a subsidy of 1.5 billion. The income of each cursed soldier of the same hunting level is 30 times that of the player (there is no 30% profit commission, and an additional % profit subsidy is given, minus the loss of resource conversion).
The speed at which the Welfare Lord's net worth increases is much faster than that of genuine players.
Sometimes you will be given special tasks in the scene, and the rewards will be higher after completion.
Four days later.
The exhausted team has completed the hunting target, but is still continuing the mission.
At this time, the team led by Yang Xiu was fighting against the corrosion core.
Through tacit cooperation and the high mobility of assassin skills, quickly dodge the evil life attacks controlled by the Corrosion Core.
The black snake at the back occasionally fired critical bullets, causing damage to the corrosion core.
But just when the battle was about to end.
Dozens of figures came through the fog at an extremely fast speed.
"Boss, play family!"
Yang Xiu was shocked when he heard his teammate’s reminder.
He didn't expect that a team of players would explore here.
Trouble!
He looked back sharply.
The figure leading the player team holds a powerful axe in his hand, and is burly and strong. His body is wrapped in heavy golden armor, with only his face exposed. His cold face is as if it was cut by a knife or an axe, and his eyes are burning with bloodthirsty light blessed by the blood-burning feature. He is like a mad bull, rushing towards them with a sense of oppression.
There were five players following him, all shrouded in the characteristics of Gangqi.
After analyzing and scanning, the other party's information appeared in Yang Xiu's mind.
【Li Tie (Player)】:
Target information:
星脉组合：力蛮（62级）、罡气（58级）、回风鞭（12级）、渴血（32级）、极速（39级）、食气（45级）、不屈（50级）、血链牵引（23级）。
Bodybuilding level: Level 9.
Property information: ...
……
What the hell!
Yang Xiu, who originally wanted to fight, was stunned when he saw the opponent's analysis information.
How could he not know Li Tie?
He is known as Tie Ye in the player circle, an old player in the initial test, and the leader of the veteran group.
One person houses five original record holders.
A fierce guy at the top of the rankings.
Yang Xiu, who is now a Ji Le player, was instantly filled with fear after confirming the other party's identity.
How to beat this...beat your mother!
At this time, Li Tie's right hand glowed red, and Yang Xiu immediately realized that the other party was about to release the "Blood Soul Attraction" feature.
He decisively begged for mercy on the regional voice channel:
"Uncle Tie, please don't do it. We are one family. Our leader, the God King, is an old friend of yours. I am currently on a dungeon mission in the Dead Space. Please don't kill us."
"Ok?"
Li Tie, who was charging, suddenly raised his head.
His eyes swept over the Soul Squad and focused on Yang Xiu, who was standing not far away with a small scarlet flame symbol on his head.
With a frown on his face, Li Tie's charge speed suddenly dropped.
"kill!"
At this moment, the stone statues of Yang Xiu's team suddenly stood up and rushed towards Li Tie, ready to withstand the impact.
It was too late for Yang Xiu to stop it.
boom!
After a loud bang, the two figures collided fiercely. Li Tie's internal energy suddenly burst out, pushing the stone statue backwards.
At this moment, the stone statue suddenly grabbed Li Tie's shoulders, trying to use the backward force to pull Li Tie down.
But Li Tie reacted faster. The barbarian axe in his right hand dissipated, and he reached out to press the stone statue's right hand, exerting force suddenly and pulling it in front of him.
As the stone statue staggered, its neck was suddenly grasped by an iron-like arm. The stone statue, which was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength, was smashed to the ground by the arm holding its neck.
boom!
Rubble flew everywhere. In the face of absolute suppression of power, the resistance of the stone statue seemed meaningless.
"Boss, run!"
The stone statue, which had already sensed something was wrong, had a bloodthirsty light in its eyes and was ready to sacrifice itself to buy time for its teammates' evacuation.
After the initial contact, he realized that his team was no match for these guys.
"kill."
But just as he was about to fight to the death, a big foot enlarged in front of him, kicked him hard in the face, and kicked him back to the team.
After the stone statue fell to the ground, it staggered back several steps before it stood firm.
Looking up, he looked at Li Tie with some disbelief.
"You guys are busy, we're leaving."
Li Tie answered in the regional voice, then glanced at the stone statue that was bleeding from the nose, and led the members of the veterans' group to continue rushing towards the distance.
"So strong! Fortunately, they don't seem to be coming for us, otherwise we would be doomed."
The stone statue wiped the blood from its nose and looked at the backs of the departing veterans, with a look of disbelief in its eyes.
"I almost died too." Black Snake spoke at this time.
Yang Xiu and the others turned to look at the black snake. Her hand holding the stinger gun was shaking, and a tiny blood mark was left on her fair neck at some point.
Just now, when she was about to pull the trigger, a dark shadow passed by from behind, left a bloody mark on her neck with a dagger, and then followed his teammates away in a flash.
The crisis was resolved and Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
This is one of the reasons why he doesn't want to meet his fellow countrymen.
While the fellow villagers are not afraid of death, there are also many tough guys among them. The strength of their team is no match for the top players on the leaderboard.
Fortunately, the guild boss "God King" was acquainted with the old soldiers and solved the problem by using the president's face.
If a fight really breaks out, all his teammates will die.
As for revenge, he can take revenge on any external ethnic group. Even if there is no power to compete with them for the time being, there will always be a chance in the future.
But seeking revenge against the veterans in one's own camp is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
"The mission is over, go back."
After this battle, Yang Xiu completely gave up the idea of staying here to continue hunting.
The mission had already been completed, and the appearance of the veterans proved that this area was no longer safe.
……
The original altar.
Just as Yang Xiu was about to complete the mission and return to the death space.
Qi Sheng followed the guiding consciousness and was browsing the task information list in the death space.
These resource intelligence were collected by the Lord of Welfare during the long years he was dormant in the independent space, although much of the information is outdated.
But he decided to make a copy anyway, maybe it would be useful.
At that time, it will be released to players in the form of hidden tasks, allowing players to explore and collect resources.
The information about the Lord of Welfare is so good!
(End of this chapter)
