My players are so fierce

Chapter 157 156. Being unconvinced and wanting face are the driving forces behind skill improvement.

Ashina, who was the first to complete the feat of the Black Iron Trial, finally logged back in four hours after being disconnected. It was already broad daylight and they had already eaten breakfast, but the young players did not spend much time in Batashin City. Stay.

They had already caught up with the carriage, and under the leadership of Maxim, they were escorting important prisoners and a group of "Blood Vulture Loyalists" back to Scarlet City as quickly as possible.

When Xiao Ashina opened her eyes, she saw her three companions taking a nap in the swaying carriage.

This is what the players looked like after they went offline. Although Maxim did not give special treatment to female players, other young players took the initiative to give up a carriage for the four of them.

"Ah! It's different!"

The female swordswoman Ashina stretched her body in the carriage. After hooking up with Mr. Murphy last night, it showed that the Black Iron Trial was completed. She then entered a forced offline state. The game helmet prompted "Tester Entity Projection Reconstruction" ", maybe it means character information update?

She looked down at the character interface displayed on the calculation orb. It was indeed very different from before:

Of course, the above are just suggestions!

In this completely free world, you can freely spend your second life according to your own ideas! Congratulations, your future is free. 】

"Wow, it's so official! This makes people like you more and more, but what should I do? Why don't you ask dad to spend some money to buy your company?"

Xiao Weiming looked at her brand-new character attributes and the message from the development team in the carriage and immediately beamed with joy. A full 12 points of attribute improvement plus 6 free attributes for distribution made her feel like she could kill a cow with one punch now!

This is no illusion.

But before Xiao Weiming could upgrade and get the [Server No. 1! 】 Get rid of the joy and great sense of accomplishment in the glorious achievements, and see the new tasks quietly existing in your taskbar.

Two new tasks given by Mr. Murphy himself!

[Hidden mission·‘Murphy’s Warriors’ has been triggered!

Mission description: Murphy is a very picky vampire. Underneath his good-natured appearance, there is a soul pursuing perfection.

He loves and trusts his alien warriors, but he has been secretly observing them. He only allows himself to select those with the most potential and uniqueness among the alien spirits to become his own warriors.

And now!

you!

A strong soul from another world, you should feel honored because Murphy has initially recognized you and awarded you the title of 'Reserve Warrior', but you still have a long way to go before you can truly become Murphy's warrior. Way to go.

Mission goal: Improve your image and importance in Murphy's eyes as much as possible, and wait for the next mission to be triggered.

Mission reward: Special title "Murphy's Warrior".

hint!

There are only twelve of this title in "Real World", and you already have one of them. 】

"Oh yeah!"

Xiao Weiming jumped up happily in the carriage, waving his hands and shouting madly:

"Mr. Murphy! I declare to you! Finally someone discovered my powerful talent and can use it properly. Although an NPC discovered my uniqueness, it doesn't matter. I knew that this game was mine. Destiny game.

Ah, Mom and Dad, I have found the game of my life that is worthy of my life. "

"What are you talking about?"

Just when she was yelling and performing her performance art, Lan Huahua, who was taking a nap in the carriage, suddenly opened her eyes. She reached out to hold down Xiao Weiming's head, and put her hand on her plump face. He pinched and shouted loudly:

"You are not allowed to do what you did last night! Did you hear me? Seeing you suddenly disconnected scared me to death. I had to call your home from Antarctica to ask your parents if you were okay. Do you know how expensive it is to make a satellite phone call?

Collect money by the second, little bastard, I'm not a real rich third generation like you.

But I heard your mother say that you cried all night last night and couldn't be coaxed no matter how hard you tried. What's going on?

Scared? "

"Hehe, no."

Xiao Weiming is very attached to orchids.

After all, in her terrible life, it was rare to have a good friend who traveled around the world come to visit her occasionally and tell her about the outside world and other people's adventures. It was always great.

She would let Lan Huahua hug her petite body and whisper to her friend:

"It's just that you can imagine that one day a light suddenly shines in your bleak life. When you have been judged to have to live on an intubation and a ventilator for the rest of your life, suddenly there is an opportunity for you to live as you want.

I'm not scared.

I'm so happy.

Although my parents couldn't understand what I was doing, they didn't have to worry about me at all. "

"How dare you say that!"

Lan Hua glared and scolded:

"Who left a suicide note two years ago? You almost scared everyone that time."

"Oh, I wasn't sensible at that time. This is what a disabled girl looks like after reading too much sentimental youth literature."

Ashina nuzzled Orchid's chest with a playful smile, and then showed off to her his new panel and hidden tasks, and of course the second task given by Murphy.

But this is not a hidden mission, but more like a "reward mission".

[Quest·‘Reward for Crazy Skills’ has been triggered!

Mission description: After witnessing your superb performance in the Black Iron Trial, Lord Murphy was very shocked, but he believed that it would be difficult for a gunner without his own unique firearm to truly set foot in a higher realm, so he decided to give You have a clue that allows you to find your own hunting art.

I heard that Scarlet Archon Dame Miriam received an incredible 'gift' recently. Maybe you can pay a visit?

Mission Objective: Visit Baroness Morland and be allowed to view her 'Hammer Guard'.

Mission reward: Obtain special weapon production diagram. 】

"Special weapons, they sound awesome! Didn't the previous task of the Black Iron Trial say that if you complete the elite challenge, you will get extra rewards? I think this is it! This is what the development team gives all elites who pass the trial in single combat. Bonus mission for testers!

After all, a warrior without good weapons is not worthy of the name of warrior! "

Xiao Weiming could not share this mission, but it did not prevent her from discussing the details of the mission with Lan Huahua, and the Grand Traveler lived up to expectations and quickly pointed out the "hidden pits" in this mission.

"Since it was a gift that Dame Miriam received from a friend, it is certainly not something that just anyone can be allowed to view."

Lan Hua shook her head and poured a ladle of cold water on the excited little Wei Ming and said:

"This means that if you want to complete this mission, you must first brush up Dame Miriam's personal reputation to above Friendly. Although the favorability system has not been officially confirmed, players are convinced that this mechanism exists in the game.

Moreover, your personal experience seems to have solved a long-standing mystery on the forum.

That is, the favorability of other NPCs can be increased by special means, but Lord Murphy's favorability system has always been confusing.

Now it seems that the mainline NPC is really different! If you want to win his favor, you have to show your uniqueness and bravery in front of him, and this damn favorability system actually has a quota.

There are only twelve places for warriors. Gee, he is such a picky and handsome man! "

The Grand Traveler narrowed her eyes, apparently having some other thoughts in her mind. After a few seconds, she whispered to Ashina in a low voice:

"This information needs to be kept confidential, you know? Mr. Murphy is obviously a sensitive character who doesn't like to be discussed. If you casually reveal his criteria for selecting warriors, your favorability with him will definitely decrease."

"Ah? Is there any other way to say this?"

Xiao Weiming's eyes widened and he said:

"What if I say it on the forum?"

"No way!"

Lanhua shook her head and whispered:

"You know those guys from Brother Miao Miao, right? Their luck in the game has reached an incredible level. As long as there are tasks and rewards related to luck, something will definitely happen to them.

I originally thought it was something they did.

But when I was bored a few days ago, I was looking through previous posts on the forum, and I suddenly discovered that the gossip about Mr. Murphy and Mrs. Tracey was originally spread by them.

Emmm, to be honest, judging from the intelligence of the NPCs in this game, I don’t think this is a coincidence.

Don’t forget, Murphy, as the mainline NPC, has some GM authority. Old players said that they had witnessed Mr. Murphy kicking Brother Meow Meow offline.

So I have to say it.

I feel that Lord Murphy, this unique NPC, may be 'played in real time' by the development team at some point in time to fine-tune the plot direction in a way that does not affect the player's gaming experience. The unlucky place for Brother Mew Miao and others is Because he said bad things behind his back, he was "concerned" by the development team.

But I have no proof. "

"Oh, okay."

Xiaoweiming nodded and said sadly:

"But I haven't gained Baroness Miriam's favor since I entered the game. How long will it take for me to gain favor from the beginning? Hey! Wait! I suddenly have an idea."

She raised her head and said to Orchid:

"What if a player who already has a good impression visits the Baroness, and then I go there as a follower or friend? He will make a request to view the gift."

"It's theoretically possible!"

Lanhua nodded and said:

"But you may not be able to find players who are willing to accompany you on adventures. Taking the initiative to make requests to NPCs will definitely lower your favorability, let alone the favorability of important NPCs like Archon Miriam."

"What if it's other NPCs?"

Xiaoweiming waved her hands and said:

"If the NPC took me in, this wouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Um?"

Lanhua looked at Xiaoweiming in surprise, holding the pearl of wisdom in her hand, and said doubtfully:

"So, what's your plan?"

"Of course I'm looking for the handsome and gentle Mr. Murphy!"

The little dwarf laughed and said:

"He basically doesn't do anything other than patrolling the territory every day. He has a lot of time to waste. As his reserve warrior, this small request shouldn't make him remove me, right? You also said that he is good The sensitivity algorithm is different from other NPCs.

I'm qualified and deserve preferential treatment, right? "

"Well, it does work!"

Lanhua nodded, glanced at the proud little Wei Ming, and said:

"You are such a clever little kid."

——

The news that Xiao Ashina passed the Black Iron Trial was like a thunderbolt last night. After several hours of fermentation, it has spread wildly on the forum, almost all the young players have exploded.

People kept asking on the forum how it was done, so Lumina took the trouble to open a special post and explained the process.

At this time, Happy Stick, who was arranging troops for a "team battle" with a group of ghouls in the sewers of Scarlet Castle, yawned. He opened the forum in the game and looked at the text descriptions in the post.

He was obviously thinking about what to do with his own trial.

“Do we need to bring realistic thinking into a 100% real game?”

Brother Bang narrowed his eyes, and he felt as if he had touched upon something.

As a result, because they were thinking too deeply, the three newbies who forgot the command and rushed too quickly retreated in time. A gap appeared in the line. Three ghouls rushed in and grabbed them randomly, almost causing serious attrition to the team.

"Fuck! What are you afraid of? Go up with your spear! Push them out! The musketeers are ready to fire!"

Brother Bang jumped up and shouted, causing the chaotic front to quickly recover.

But his mind was actually no longer on the battlefield at hand. Happy Stick was thinking about it and pulled out a sewer map he had drawn by himself. He rubbed his chin and thought for several minutes, and said to the guys beside him:

"Just another 30 minutes and it will be over today. Let me follow you to a place to make traps!"

"Ah? Brother Bang, why are you making a trap?"

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Dou asked curiously, Happy Stick narrowed his eyes and said:

"Seduce an elite ghoul. I'm going to pass the Black Iron Trial tonight! I'm also going to develop a set of fighting methods that everyone can use. We, as men, can't let other little girls look down on us, can we? ?”

At the same time, at the edge of the sewers in the outer city, the warriors who were training with the Cat Warriors were also discussing what happened last night.

Xiao Weiming was so passionate about being able to flirt with all the macho men in the whole server that she wished she could grab a ghoul and practice her skills right now.

"A girl actually did it to challenge the Black Iron Elites alone. Oh, how shameful!"

Lin Bei Gouzhao slapped his face and laughed at himself in a long voice, leaving the other three brothers speechless. However, Brother Mao, who was sitting next to him and resting, grinned, picked up the water bag and took a sip, then stood up with the big sword and said:

"Why are you always competing with others? You have to compete with yourself! The blocking and dodge in this game are so realistic. Once you improve your skills, let alone fight against elites, you will be fine without any injuries."

"Ah? Brother Cat, I believe you can beat the elites, but you won't be injured. Tsk, this is too exaggerated."

"What? You don't believe it? Hey, give me a few more days to explore the ways of this game, and then I can open your eyes. However, it is really not possible to use the blood vulture swordsmanship. This thing has more than enough attack power, but lacks dexterity. This is the flaw of the swordsmanship itself.

You have to find a way to learn a set of skills that are both offensive and defensive. Can you first tell me how to increase favorability in this game?

When I was sparring with Mr. Maxim before, I saw him use a set of swordsmanship that allowed him to dodge without taking any damage. I plan to learn it, and then I should be able to challenge the elites one on one. "

"Ah sneeze!"

At this time, Maxim, who was escorting the convoy to leave Bataxin City, suddenly sneezed without warning, causing a heir next to him to look at him strangely.

explain:

"Sir, what's wrong? Are you injured?"

"No."

Maxim, who was fully armed, was riding on a war horse, waving his hands and saying:

"I just have a weird feeling, as if I'm being targeted by something tough."
