Chapter 15: night task
After finishing the discussion about the tasks related to Widow Tia, the players turned their attention to the second line of the board without sleep.
The content of this line is familiar to everyone.
Necromancer Hammer.
As the final boss of the novice village, Necromancer Hamer is very powerful - at least compared to the players in the novice village stage.
When playing the game, very few people could clear his dungeon without dying once or twice. Because of the novice village stage, the player's level can only be raised to level 10 at the highest. To be honest, it is not easy for five level 10 players to form a team to fight this boss.
Therefore, the strategy on the forum recommends that players do not rush to fight this boss when they reach the full level of level 10 in the novice village, and directly leave the novice village to do the main quest to increase the level cap. Wait until around level 20 and come back to trouble this guy.
Level 20 players, as long as T, DSP and milk are complete, it is basically not difficult to beat this boss.
Most of the players in the later stage do this. Many people don’t even bother to fight this boss—the most valuable output of this boss is nothing more than the skull ring. Except for wanting to transfer to a necromancer, others get this. A ring isn't really that useful. There are too many good things that can be used in the later stage, and there will always be old players in the auction room who will sell some more valuable things.
But when the game becomes a reality, the situation is completely different.
"Hammer must fight, the sooner the better!" Before everyone could discuss, Panda spoke first and set the tone, "It's too dangerous to keep this guy by your side!"
"That's right!" Wu Mian nodded and said seriously, "I don't know if everyone still remembers what the dungeon looked like - I remember, that dungeon was a novice village that had become a ghost village, and the village was full of wandering skeletons. The residents are no exception. If we don’t kill Hammer as soon as possible, once it has accumulated enough power to make trouble, the Novice Village will likely become the dungeon it used to be!”
"Karipura Village is the closest village to our castle. It is rich in resources, and it is also our window to contact the outside world. It can't be destroyed just like that!" Yunero said.
"And the villagers are very nice, and we can't just watch them get killed," said the little eggplant.
"Down with the boss and seize the treasure, it is the duty of my generation of players!" Valkyrie began to enter the second grade again, "I am here, I will see, I will conquer. What else is there to hesitate!"
The rest of the crowd also nodded in agreement with their opinions.
So, this is settled.
But defeating the final boss of Novice Village is not an easy thing to do. When you were playing the game, you could just die, and if you died, you just had to be resurrected at the entrance of the dungeon. But now, although everyone can still be resurrected, the location of the resurrection has become the guild crystal in the castle hall.
From there, it would take most of the day to get to Kalipura Village, even by air.
This is equivalent to in the game, every time you die, you have to run for hours after being resurrected to return to the battlefield - whoever wants to fight a battle like this, he must be crazy!
"We have a big advantage," Panda said. "We're not playing games anymore, and there's no limit to the number of people in the dungeon. We can bring a large group of people to besiege Hamer."
Changsun Wu suddenly laughed: "That's a good idea! He can beat five people, how can he beat fifty people?"
"If 50 people are not enough, then 100 people!"
"Damn it, the Hundred People Group, this is the treatment of the Demon King, the Archangel and the Dragon of Doom..." Wumian smacked his lips and couldn't help but mourned for the poor Necromancer while secretly calculating how much to spend in the game. A copy of the necromancer is enough to rise to level 10.
In addition to these two tasks, most of the remaining tasks are of little value, nothing more than finding things, finding people, helping with farming, destroying beasts, repairing fences... and so on. Some of them are more urgent, some are more loose, and in general, they all give a feeling of "it seems to be repeated many times".
"These tasks are the daily tasks issued by the village chief. How did you find out about Wu Mian?" Valkyrie asked curiously, "When I discussed with him before, he didn't tell me anything."
"I am a noble of the royal capital." Wu Mian pretended to be a coercion, "He refused to give you the task because you have no reputation in the village, and he has no friendship with you. But I am different, I'm a nobleman, no matter if I have prestige or not, and no matter if I have a good relationship with him or not, he must answer my questions—and, mostly, honestly."
"So... let's focus on completing tasks for a few days, how many levels, and then form a team to fight that necromancer Hamer?" The eyes of the leveling madman, Sun Wu, have begun to glow, "Is there anything we can do at night? mission?"
"Yes, eliminate the wolves near the village, use the wolf's tail as a certificate, and pay according to labor."
"I like this task." Panda smiled.
Everyone laughed too.
Then, they went out together.
Because they did not carry torches, they did not go well in the dark night. Those in the team, such as Sleepless and Little Eggplant, all lacked night vision. In the dark night, even relying on the starlight, you can only see the situation five or six meters away in front of you.
But Panda, Uniero, and Crushed Ice can all see things at night. For them, let alone the stars in the sky, even in a pitch-dark environment where you can't see your fingers, it doesn't affect your vision - it's just that the color of the scenery you see tends to be black and white.
The difference is that Panda has dark vision, Yuneruo has infrared vision, and crushed ice has magic vision.
These three types of vision are different, but all can see the surrounding situation in the dark.
Dark vision uses the spirit to perceive the surrounding world, infrared vision perceives the surrounding world by observing infrared rays, and magic vision sees the accumulation and flow of magic.
They each have their own merits. In general, dark vision is the most stable. Unless it is hit by a strong mental attack, there will be absolutely no errors, not even the slightest error in color. Although infrared vision is the most easily disturbed, if unlucky, it may even be caused by high heat. The strong infrared rays emitted by the object are blinding, but it can pass through obstacles to a certain extent and has a perspective effect; magic vision can clearly judge the natural environment and magic items, but it will lose its effect once it enters the anti-magic area.
Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for an adventure team to have at least one person who can see things in the dark. There are three in a team like them, it can be said to be very safe, and there is basically no need to worry about the danger from the dark.
Moreover, the eyesight of the remaining few in the team is not bad. As long as the two quasi-night blindness patients are protected, the rest can take care of themselves.
Walking in the darkness, listening to the sound of the night wind blowing the trees and weeds, the group gradually left the village and entered the wilderness, the world of beasts and monsters.
