Chapter 836: The Rules Didn't Say You Can't Use Stimulants

Lin You looked at Xiaomeng and listed a long list from top to bottom according to the popularity of the players:

Those who suppress bandits, those who listen to music, those who make wine, those who kill treacherous ministers, those who listen to the wall, those who take pictures with literati, those who adopt stray cats and dogs forcibly, those who collect martial arts secret books and open Tibetan Scripture Pavilions, and those who learn to run to the homes of wealthy families The ones who “kick the pot” when touching babies, the ones who receive escort missions and fight against darts, the ones who play parkour on the roof of Chang’an City, the ones who fish by the Qujiang Pond, the ones who explore secrets in the sewer, and the ones who accept bounties and hunt them down… …

Scattered scattered in almost every corner of Chang'an City.

Many players didn't participate in online discussions at all, and just kept playing their own games.

It is easy to draw this conclusion by comparing the popularity of Internet discussions with the actual number of players online.

Lin You had a headache: "So, what is the completion rate of each node of the main task?"

"Xiaomeng, take a look!" Xiaomeng made some statistics and gave Lin You another list, which was much simpler:

[Teaching level] 98%

[Chen Family Storyteller] 82%

[Jiaofangsi strange case] 92%

[Orchid Restaurant] 76%

[Dongming Guanqiu Tao] 65%

[Wooden Man Crisis] 43%

[Heavenly Strange Stone] 29%

[Chasing wind and electricity] 17%

[Try the sword at the beginning of the year] 9%

[Guardian] 1%

[Encounter] 0%

Most of the links in the middle are the younger sister's journey of creation: learning wine brewing at the age of 10, alchemy at the age of 11, carpentry at the age of 12, blacksmithing at the age of 13, horse racing at the age of 14, martial arts at the age of 15, and machine skills at the age of 16.

It was not until the last level that the content of the opening CG was really connected, and the reunion with my sister.

But the number of people who met each other turned out to be 0%...

"No one has cleared the level yet?" Lin You was a little surprised, "Isn't someone rushing to the horse racing session [Chasing the Wind and Electricity] on the first day?"

"No." Xiaomeng cut a section of Zhang Muyu's live broadcast record and showed it to Lin You——

He ran three horse races in a row, and only managed to get into the top 50%. Although he still got a [Horse Whistle], which is convenient for calling horses anytime and anywhere, but don’t dream about good horses.

Zhang Muyu didn't care, and rode a poor horse to the next task: [Trying the sword at the beginning of Jiji].

You can also think of it from the name. This is the story of my sister who learned martial arts at the age of 15 and tried swords in the rivers and lakes.

And at this point, the content does not have so many twists and turns, but becomes simple and straightforward——

Kick the museum to go!

Various martial arts schools and schools in Chang'an were kicked one by one, and if you kicked 18 schools in a row, you could get clues about your sister's follow-up.

Zhang Muyu frowned a little, but bravely went up.

The first one - [Spring Night Knife].

Entering the martial arts gym, Zhang Muyu was a little dazed the moment she saw her opponent——

"Coach Xu?"

When the club invited Xu Chun to take lessons, he followed suit.

"Xu Chun" didn't respond to his call, but drew out the knife at his waist and pointed at Zhang Muyu: "Are you going to play the gym?"

"Ah?" Zhang Muyu was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Are you an NPC?"

——10 of the 18 NPC opponents in this mission are reproduced by the masters of Yunmeng [Cold Weapon R\u0026D Team], and the remaining 8 are also members of the development team who are interested in signing up voluntarily , and finally randomly drawn.

Lin You originally planned to make one for himself, but after considering the extent of his hatred, he wisely gave up.

With Zhang Muyu's dazed effort, NPC Xu Chun has already rushed up with a knife!

Memories of being abused by Xu Chun like beating his son back then flooded his mind, Zhang Muyu was timid before the fight.

After the fight really started, Zhang Muyu, who was almost still a whiteboard attribute, was completely abused. He couldn't see the movements of the NPC Xu Chun at all. He was slashed 8 times in 5 seconds, and fell miserably on the green brick floor.

After being revived, Zhang Muyu tried the other three opponents, but each of them felt fiercer than the other. Even when fighting against a "mace" weapon, the sword in his hand was smashed due to the crushing force.

Then Zhang Muyu squatted on the side of the road empty-handed, and began to doubt life.

Just a little slower than him, a large number of other players trying to sprint to the first to clear the main line also hit this "wall".

They all suffered the consequences of the crazy skip in the early stage.

The task in this link is a comprehensive test for the player. It requires not only sufficient physical fitness (level) but also sufficient skills (skills). If possible, a good weapon (props) is also very important.

——Actually, if you don’t skip the mission ahead, the character strength is enough. Although these battles are challenging, the difficulty is not exaggerated.

Because the design of this link is not to make it difficult for players, but to show players more comprehensively the fighting methods of different genres and different weapons.

After such 18 battles, players can not only open their eyes, but also choose their favorite weapons from them, and then learn the corresponding combat skills from apprentices in a targeted manner.

In this way, after completing the main task, you can use your favorite weapon to freely explore and improve continuously in the game.

This can greatly improve the player's game fun and retention rate after the completion of the main task.

But for players who want to pass the level quickly, it is the difficulty of hell, so difficult that it is almost impossible to win.

After Zhang Muyu doubted her life for a while, seeing that there was no hope, she decisively chose to go offline to rest.

And his choice is wise.

Many players are unwilling to give up after "hitting the wall", and want to use external forces to increase their combat power and use tricks to get this part of the task.

But they didn't know that even if they completed the 18 consecutive battles with luck and incredible skills, if the overall strength was not enough, the next level [City Defender] would still be difficult to pass.

[Guardian] does not refer to the city guards of Chang'an, but the city guards of [Organ City].

Although the tasks in this link do not require the player to completely clear the organ city, they also require entering it to explore several specific locations, and a lot of battles are inevitable in the process.

And the mechanism puppets in [Organ City] are much stronger than the wooden puppets that use carpentry tools to "self-replicate" in the task of [Wooden Man Crisis]!

So although many people haven't realized this, the players who pursue the fastest clearance have already declared failure in advance.

The most promising ones left are the players who take their time and push the plot steadily according to their own rhythm.

And the number of these players is astonishing.

...

Xia Yi, Shui Hua, Lin Shun, and 7 other players and 10 NPCs rode on horseback one after another, holding the rein with one hand, and gently stroking the horse's neck with the other, making final preparations before the game.

None of the three of them skipped the main mission, and their levels, equipment, and skills had all been upgraded many times.

——I planted a more advanced [wine gourd], and after solving the [wooden crisis], I got the [mechanism bird] left by my sister, looked for the [strange stone from outside the sky], strengthened the main weapon to [master level], and got The starting weapon forged by my sister [镔铁飞锅].

The three of them are located next to each other, chatting while preparing for the game, intending to finish the game, and after getting the [Horse Whistle], they will strike while the iron is hot and directly start the 18 consecutive battles in the gymnasium.

They were so engrossed in chatting that they didn't notice:

Three race tracks away, Hongchen lay on the horse's back, took out a medicine bag from his chest, and carefully opened it. By stroking the horse's head, he secretly handed it to the horse's mouth, and was licked by the horse. clean.

Then Hong Chen put away the medicine bag and looked at his friends in the audience.

The friend nodded broadly in his affirmation.

So he knew: all his money has been bet on himself to win.

As long as you win this game, you will be fat!

And the victory of the competition, when he fed that pack of medicine, the dust had already settled!
