pinnacle throne

For the first time, Shen Xiao, who had been at ease for 25 years, had a serious expression on his face and thought about his life.If he refused directly...the picture is so beautiful that he dare not think about it.Sitting in front of the computer, Shen Xiao felt a deep sense of crisis for the first time.After thinking about it for 5 minutes, Shen Xiao finally decided... to go out for a meal first.

The temperature that has been rising in City S has recently dropped. At night, there was a strong wind blowing on the street. Even though he was wearing long sleeves, Shen Xiao felt like he had returned to early winter.He looked up at the fourth floor where his house was located, and finally didn't bother to go up to pick up a coat.

Fortunately, there were many pedestrians on the road at this time, and the strong wind seemed to be scattered here. Shen Xiao followed the flow of people and slowly turned into a nearby snack street.After some screening, he returned home with steaming noodles.With the game in mind, Shen Xiao simply placed the noodles on the computer table, and at the same time put on the helmet to log in to the account.

The interface flashed, and he returned to a corner of the third area of ​​the mission. The sundae in the game stood there for a while, and then teleported back to the main city.Shen Xiao went straight to a certain NPC—Wayne, a pharmacist in the main city of Atlantis, with a purpose.Last time, Sundae chose to become a poison maker with him. At this time, he carefully studied the upgrade route of this professional branch.

Want to upgrade?Wayne was so heroic that he threw a bunch of introductions to the sundae.It really has the characteristics of "Peak"... Shen Xiao couldn't help thinking of Ling Yexi's words, which seemed particularly appropriate at this time. "Peak" has rarely given detailed guidance to players. It will only give all the information to players at one time, and then let players understand by themselves. Many people complain about this. .

The ridicule is ridicule. In the past, many people reported this "not humane enough" setting. Unexpectedly, the game party gave a ridiculous answer-to let everyone exercise their self-learning ability.So the plan's full of maliciousness successfully confused the player's face.

Shen Xiao looked at the densely packed small characters in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He read the introduction carefully, and the general idea was actually very simple-upgrading requires three steps in general, the first is to collect materials; the second is to set the value; The third is to make.

The first and third steps don't have much to explain, but for the second step, the game spends a lot of ink on the introduction.When players make medicines, they have to study the ratio of materials by themselves.For example, if the player wants to make a mist potion that slows people down, the game will prompt the required materials, but the game will not give the ratio of the materials during the refining process.At this time, the medicines made by players have different effects due to the different proportions of materials.

At the same time, "Peak" also added a particularly interesting setting: players can add materials that have not been prompted in the game during the process of refining medicine. There is a probability here that the original medicine will be improved to a higher level. , However, it is more likely that the medicine cannot be produced and all the materials will be destroyed.

If in the early stage, there will be more people conducting experiments, but in the later stage, materials are gradually scarce, and no one dares to try anything casually at that time.Moreover, no matter what life profession it is, the demand for the quantity of materials is ridiculously high, and often a medium-sized guild can only support 2-3 life players.If there is a life player who has developed a "secret spectrum" by himself-this means that when a player successfully develops a medicine, the data of making this medicine will be preserved as a record.Once this record includes a drug whose effect is superior to similar products, then this person will undoubtedly be the object of competition among the major guilds.

Although such an honor is extremely tempting, many people still hesitate.Not everyone can afford research fees, and not everyone can bear the blow of failure.

The more Shen Xiao watched it, the more he found it very interesting. After reading the introduction in the game, he cut out the game and looked at related posts in various forums.Some of these posts are sharing their own research results and enjoying the worship of the crowd, and some are discussing material issues. Unfortunately, the people participating in the discussion obviously left their hands, so a group of people discuss and discuss to the end. Let it go.

Shen Xiao has absorbed a lot of knowledge in this kind of posts. Combined with some achievement sharing posts he saw before, he has accumulated some opinions in his heart. Then he returned to the game again and opened the seven poison categories under the poison maker list. ——Deceleration, stiffness, immobilization, dizziness, lethargy, hallucinations, and others.

Both deceleration and stiffness have the effect of slowing down the movement speed of the game character. The difference between the two is that the decelerated player can still use basic skills, but the stiffness cannot.Body immobilization and stun are the same. Although both are sealed in place, the former can still use basic skills, but the latter cannot.Sleepiness means that the player falls into a sleep state. This state lasts for a long time. The disadvantage is that it cannot be attacked by skills, otherwise it will be woken up.

When it comes to the category of hallucinations, the difficulty of refining medicine is greatly increased. Generally speaking, hallucinations can be divided into two stages. The first stage is to interfere with the vision, that is, the ultimate goal is to temporarily blind the player, and the second stage is to create illusions. , this stage is almost in a state of mystery, and no one in the game has successfully made hallucinogenic drugs so far.It is said that if the poison used to create the illusion is used, unless the other party finds a flaw in the illusion, he will be trapped in it until he dies.

This is simply a cheating device, but it's a pity that the difficulty of making this thing is not proportional to the effect.The cost is so high, but the effect is only to trap one person to death. It's a bit ridiculous to say, so everyone didn't take it seriously.

As for other categories, according to the game's commentary, it is necessary to open certain hidden tasks to obtain special prescriptions.However, Shen Xiao checked on the Internet, but found no relevant news.

After understanding these, he clicked on the simplest deceleration prescription, and a row of medicines appeared on it. Only then did Shen Xiao discover that not only the medicine itself has seven categories, but also the specific medicines under each category are different. It is mainly reflected in three aspects: the scope of use, the duration of the negative state, and whether to read the article.

The simplest deceleration potion can only be used on one person, the deceleration time is short, and it needs to be read. As the difficulty of making it increases, the last deceleration potion not only has a large range of use, but also can last at least 6 seconds without reading the bar. clock or more.Comparing the manufacturing materials of the two, the simplest potion only uses three kinds of materials, while the latter requires seven kinds. Not to mention the doubled amount of materials, one or two of them may be rare varieties.At the same time, different types of slowing potions also have requirements for the level of the pharmacist.

Shen Xiao was planning to cut out the game to search for the origin of these materials, but received a private chat.

[Stranger] Hu Xiao: Do ​​you like to huddle in this kind of place?

Shen Xiao's eyes paused, but he quickly returned to normal.

Sundae: What kind of wind is blowing today that brought you here?

[Stranger] Hu Xiao: You don't want to come to a district, so I had to find it.

Sundae: You are still as impatient as ever

[Stranger] Hu Xiao: You still like to avoid sundaes as always: Hey, I haven’t seen you for half a year, you’ve learned badly

Hu Xiao in front of the computer fell silent for a moment.

[Stranger] Hu Xiao: Do ​​you want to catch up on the past if you don't add friends?

Shen Xiao sent a friend request very quickly, but Hu Xiao hesitated instead, but the hesitation was only for a moment, and he clicked OK.

"Yo~ Little Tiger, long time no see."

The familiar tone seemed to have not even changed the tone of the greeting. Hu Xiao's face moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.Silent, with estrangement and embarrassment, Hu Xiao's heart was turbulent for a long time, and then gradually calmed down.He opened his mouth with a mature and steady tone: "I just came to tell you that Ling Yun is fine now."

"Really?" There was nothing unusual in Shen Xiao's tone, as if he was responding to the emotion of "this meal is delicious".

"Yes." Hu Xiao replied, with a bit of indisputability in his voice.

"That's good." Shen Xiao said, then thought about it, and added: "Good job."

Hu Xiao fell silent, there was absolutely no need to say what had been carefully prepared at this time.Shen Xiao's answer, such a matter has nothing to do with him, and his calm tone chilled him.However, he still didn't hold back, and asked, "Apart from these, do you have anything else to say?" For example, an apology, or... why did you leave?

Shen Xiao was silent for a while, Hu Xiao couldn't help but lift his heart.Then, he heard the other party's answer.

"Come on, I believe in you."

The raised heart returned to its original position, and the returned rationality sneered and mocked his actions.One lesson is not enough, he still has illusions about this person?Hu Xiao shook his head, his wavering expression was gradually replaced by indifference.

It has passed, and the glory of this person can never come back.

The atmosphere seemed to have changed in an instant, and Hu Xiao's voice was business-like and indifferent: "Since you are Ling Yun's previous captain, the guild has the responsibility to support your actions. As long as it does not violate morality, you can seek help from the guild. help."

"OK, thanks."

"Also" Hu Xiao's voice paused for a moment, and then he said word by word: "I think what Solo said at the beginning, one, one point, yes, no, wrong."

Shen Xiao was silent for a few seconds, "He's right, I can't refute it."

Hu Xiao smiled lightly: "It's good that you understand, then, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Hu Xiao logged out of the account without hesitation, turned off the game, took off the helmet, and put it on the table. At that moment, he realized that his fingers were trembling slightly.After a while, he pulled out a self-deprecating smile, and at the same time said to himself: "Lingyun can be brilliant again without you!"
