Chapter 419 Game Elements
"So how do the Dragon Clan compare to the other people in the Pantheon? How strong are they?" Xiao Jie asked tentatively.
Chen Tianwen shook his head, "There is still some gap, but at least we have the strength to fight. After all, I don't know how many people the Dragon Group has or what kind of cards they have. Moreover, the Dragon Group can get official support and the assistance of Long Xiang, so I feel that there is still some chance of winning.
But to be honest, if they lose, it's fine, but if they win, I'm afraid the result will be worse."
"Because of the Lord?"
"That's right, because of Tianzun. If Tianzun takes action, no matter how many people the Dragon Group has, it will be useless." Chen Tianwen's tone was quite complicated, half fearful and half yearning.
"So strong?" Xiao Jie found it hard to imagine.
"It's that strong." Chen Tianwen said very affirmatively.
"But didn't you say that Tianzun usually doesn't show up?"
Chen Tianwen nodded, "That's right. Tianzun's real body won't appear, but he will send out clones. Even a clone is difficult for ordinary people to deal with. There was once a guild that stole a batch of goods from the Pantheon, and then all the members hid in Longhua City, thinking that they could sleep soundly in the city. As a result, they were all slaughtered in one day. That time it was Tianzun who did it. The opponent was a famous large guild, with more than 20 players over level 30, and none of them were spared."
Xiao Jie was shocked. Is he so awesome?
It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. If Long Xiang goes to war with the Pantheon, I must be careful. I can help, but don't attract too much hatred.
But he still found it hard to believe. With Long Xiang's strength, plus the power of the Dragon Group and the official background, it seemed foolproof no matter how you looked at it. Even an immortal had to abide by the rules of the game.
It is possible that this Heavenly Venerable has really become an immortal. I will ask those immortals I know when I get the chance. Maybe I know him.
As if seeing Xiao Jie's thoughts, Chen Tianwen said calmly: "If I were you, I would advise Long Xiang not to provoke the Pantheon, even if it means a small loss, just accept it."
Xiao Jie smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid that's unlikely. This trip to the Pantheon has caused a lot of trouble. With what they have done, the Tourism Administration will definitely not let them go.
And Long Xiang is unlikely to just let it go. No matter how powerful that Tianzun is, no one has ever seen him. Long Xiang can't just hide his head and become a turtle because of some legends."
Chen Tianwen sighed, "Tell me, what did they do?"
Xiao Jie then recounted what had happened in the past few days.
Chen Tianwen couldn't help but sigh helplessly after hearing this, "It seems that things really can't be resolved peacefully. The beautiful painter you met should be Wei Yang. She was one of the people who came to kill me last time. No one knows her true identity. She never shows her true face to anyone, but she should be a woman. This girl joined the Pantheon at the same time as me, and her strength is not weaker than mine.
I don’t know much about her occupation, but she should be related to Huashengzhai.”
Xiao Jie's mind moved. He had actually heard of the organization Huashengzhai. The chivalrous Wushuang had an appointment to fight with a puppeteer (a discarded disciple of Huashengzhai). It seemed that the date was approaching.
“That Eternal Tribulation was a demon curser before. He had just joined the Pantheon when I left it. I’m not very familiar with him. He should have reached the third level at least now. With the resources of the Pantheon, it’s basically not difficult to help a player advance.
Among the twelve people in the Pantheon, the two of them can only be considered average, and there are at least five or six people who are stronger than them.
I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Although there are only a few people, the Pantheon is not that easy to deal with. Look, I was assassinated once and I didn't intend to retaliate. Do you think I have a good temper? The situation is stronger than the person. "
"We can't just let it go like this." Xiao Jie was unmoved. If the situation really forced him, he would have to take action even if he didn't want to.
No matter how strong the opponent is, you can't give up before the battle.
“Of course we can’t just let it go like this, but if we want to win completely without any worries, the best way is to first gain enough power. If we can become an immortal or a god, perhaps we won’t have to be afraid of the Heavenly Venerable anymore.
This expansion pack is our chance. You are now a senior member of Long Xiang, and you will definitely be able to participate in the upcoming war with the New Imperial Army. If we can work together to kill Wang Xie and get the remaining two volumes of the Nameless Taoist Scripture, we can become immortals.
No one should know the information about the Nameless Dao Sutra, right?"
"There should be no one - no, there is a Taoist named Shuxia Youchan, he might know." Xiao Jie still remembered the conversation with Shuxia Youchan in the dungeon of Xuanxu Palace. The other party seemed to be very enthusiastic about the nameless Taoist scripture.
"It doesn't matter. As a mere casual player, I probably won't be able to participate in the plot. It's not a big problem. How about we do it together? Others don't know the value of the Nameless Dao Sutra, so no one should be able to snatch it. It will be easy for us to get the Nameless Dao Sutra."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was a nice thought, but unfortunately... it was a pity that he was not very interested in that thing.
"Okay, we'll do it together then."
Xiao Jie was not very interested in Wang Xie. His target was the BOSS of another world - the North Sea Demon Dragon. It was possible that the third dragon ball would fall on this guy.
With three dragon balls, you can turn yourself into a dragon, get rid of the mundane world, and ascend to become an immortal. This is much more reliable than collecting some nameless items.
The nameless Taoist scripture was left to Chen Tianwen. If he could really become an immortal, then he would have another fellow Taoist.
It would certainly be unrealistic to ask Long Xiang to slay a dragon just for him, but if he were to follow Long Xiang to participate in world activities and fight against the New Imperial Army together, then slaying a dragon and getting a dragon ball at the same time should not be a problem.
After chatting with Chen Tianwen for a while and discussing the details of the operation, Xiao Jie left.
Flying all the way back home, Xiao Jie flapped his wings and dived into the window, then transformed back into human form.
When Gu Feiyu heard the voice, he turned around and looked at Xiao Jie. He wanted to speak, but immediately turned his head away and looked at the screen in front of him. It was obvious that the game was at a critical moment.
"Brother Jie, you're back. Your transformation skills are so cool. It's like 72 transformations. What else can you transform into?"
"It can also transform into a wolf and a dragon. Those are the only three I can use for now. Are you - eh, fishing?"
Xiao Jie was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gu Feiyu to choose fishing to start. On the screen, Gu Feiyu was sitting by a creek, concentrating on fishing.
"Yeah, I just found a trick."
"Didn't you go to burn incense?"
"I tried, but it didn't work. I guess that the reason you were able to get the incense, Brother Jie, was probably related to Brother Han's death. The village chief saw you and Brother Han leave the village together, and then Brother Han died. After you came back, you still insisted on your determination to exorcise demons, so he convinced him.
It's useless for me to brag on my own, it's not convincing at all."
As he was talking, the sinker on the water surface suddenly sank, and Gu Feiyu began to pull the fishing rod. Surprisingly, this fishing was quite realistic. Players used the left and right buttons of the mouse to pull and release the rod, watching the fish struggling in the water, and gradually losing strength as the fishing rod relaxed and loosened. It looked quite realistic.
Gu Feiyu’s gaming skills were indeed very strong. He finished the job in no time. He swung the rod hard and caught the fish.
[System prompt: Fishing is successful, you got rainbow carp (rare fish), fishing experience +10.]
"Hey, that's pretty impressive, I can actually catch a rare fish. I remember this thing was worth about 100 or 200 coins."
"This is not for sale." Gu Feiyu said as he put away his fishing gear and ran straight to a thatched cottage in the north of the village. As soon as he arrived at the cottage, he saw a man squatting outside the door sighing.
"Brother Zhang, I caught the rainbow carp you asked for. Let's stew it for your mother."
The man was overjoyed when he heard it. "Oh, it's really a rainbow carp. Thank you so much. I keep my word. You can have the big rooster at home." "Then I won't hesitate."
Gu Feiyu broke into the chicken coop and attacked the rooster with a wooden stick. The rooster was quite fierce and started to fight back by flapping its wings. Fortunately, it was just a poultry after all and its fighting power was limited. It was knocked over by a few sticks. The rooster was picked up and put into his backpack. Then Gu Feiyu ran straight to the east end of the village.
Xiao Jie found it interesting. It was obvious that Gu Feiyu had a clear purpose. Could it be that he really discovered some hidden gameplay?
There was a beggar lying under the big willow tree at the east end of the village.
"Old man, I brought you the chicken you wanted." Gu Feiyu threw the dead chicken directly in front of the old beggar.
"Hey, you really brought it. Did you steal it? I tell you, although I am poor, I also have backbone. I will never eat this stolen food."
"Hahaha, stop talking nonsense. Do you still want to eat chicken?" Gu Feiyu was very involved and his tone of voice was as if he was talking to a real person.
He was very polite when speaking to Brother Zhang, but was very casual and familiar with the old beggar, without any politeness.
The old beggar really fell for it.
"Okay, okay, I won't waste my words. Let's roast the chicken and eat it. My beggar's chicken is a secret dish that I won't pass on to anyone. You're in for a treat today. Just wait and see."
As he said this, he started roasting the chicken.
Of course, the game is not as complicated as the real life. Just watch the old beggar pick up the chicken and put it on a bonfire to roast it. With a bang, the dead chicken covered with feathers turns into a golden and shiny roasted chicken with an attractive aroma.
【System prompt: Learned the cooking recipe [Beggar’s Chicken].
"Are you planning to become a chef?" Xiao Jie asked.
"Of course not. This beggar chicken recipe is an unexpected gain. My real purpose is to obtain intelligence."
As he said this, he took out a pot of wine and handed it to the beggar.
The old beggar was having a great time eating meat and drinking wine.
"So you want to learn martial arts from the old beggar?"
This kind of plot is very common in martial arts games.
"Not really, it's mainly to get information." Gu Feiyu said, then turned on the microphone and started to talk to the old beggar.
"I know everything about this village... The old beggar started talking nonsense while eating a roast chicken."
Gu Feiyu kept taking notes in a small notebook while listening.
Xiao Jie took a glance and saw that various information had already been written on several pages.
Wow, you are worthy of being a college student. You play a game so hard. It’s like a test.
Xiao Jie sighed in his heart. Although professional players like them also do research on various game data, they are not so detailed.
"That Li Xiucai in the village, let me tell you, he is not a scholar at all. The imperial examination has been suspended for thousands of years. How can there be any scholars? He is just a self-proclaimed scholar who spends all day looking for someone to teach him the way of a sage. This world is full of monsters and demons. Only those who can survive are real. Who wants to learn from them?"
Hey, got it! Gu Feiyu's eyes lit up and he wrote a line of words in his notebook.
Li Xiucai - Hidden character - Suitable to be an apprentice - Special skills.
After asking a few more questions casually, Gu Feiyu got up and went to the village butcher shop to buy bacon.
"You're buying bacon to learn from a master?"
"Yes."
"You want to learn skills from a scholar?" Xiao Jie was puzzled. What could a scholar teach? The Four Books and Five Classics? How could these things be as useful as chopping wood and hunting?
"Why a scholar?"
"Because the core gameplay of the game, any game has a core gameplay, for example, the core gameplay of World of Warcraft is the dungeon, or more precisely, the group dungeon. All the content in the game actually serves the group dungeon, whether it is the story mission, professional skills, or monster upgrades, they are all for players to prepare before entering the final group dungeon.
The core gameplay of this game should be encounter.
All spells, treasures, equipment and skills can be obtained from adventures. By gaining enough advantages through adventures, it will be easier to play anything.
It is basically difficult to achieve anything without adventure.
And who are the people most likely to have adventures in those legendary stories? Scholars! "
"Of course, this is not absolute. According to my research, a certain number of preconditions must be met to trigger an adventure. In other words, [game elements] each adventure should have several preconditions, and all or at least a certain number of them must be met before it can be triggered.
For example, Brother Jie, when you obtain incense, it means that you meet several elements such as "death of brothers, righteousness, and native place".
Becoming a scholar, or a person of knowledge, is probably a very universal prerequisite, so I must prioritize obtaining the status of a scholar.
In the early stages of the game, I must stack as many of these elements as possible. As long as I have enough of them, I can definitely increase the probability of triggering an encounter."
Xiao Jie was a little stunned for a moment. He had to admit that Gu Feiyu's train of thought was a bit peculiar. It seemed a little confusing at first glance, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
He wasn't sure whether what Gu Feiyu said was true. When he had experienced this kind of adventure before, he was not a scholar.
However, it seems that they generally meet several special conditions.
"Okay, keep going. If you have any questions, come to me. I'm going to be online soon."
"Yes, it must be Brother Jie,"
Xiao Jie turned around and logged into the game. He and others had agreed to go online tomorrow to officially start group activities. Today was a free day for them.
So he didn't have anything particularly important to do.
After logging into the game, Xiao Jie opened his backpack and was just checking to see if he was missing any supplies when he was suddenly stunned.
Hey, why is there an extra letter? This should have been picked up when I picked up the package at the post station just now.
After reading the content of the letter, I found out that this is the professional mission of a demon refiner!
