Otherworldly Architect

In the second half of the studio's internal test, everyone went to the advanced map to test a boss-level monster.

Of course, there is no concept of boss in "Hunter World", only the concept of creature type and population - the entire race of Volcanic Dragon is very strong, not a single individual can be a boss, but the whole family is a boss!

To fight the four-star mission of Volcanic Dragon, in fact, a lot of preparations must be made first.

This set of processes is basically clearly stated to be personally involved in the design.

So he knows everything: "To enter the volcanic zone, you first need a set of flame and high-heat protection equipment; to make this equipment, you need to get a cutting machine tool, and some silicon-containing monsters drop; Electric energy, electric energy needs generators and oil, the important circuit material of the generator depends on the two-star Flash Wolf; the oil mainly depends on getting through the three-star volcano exploration mission, which is also the first mission to contact the volcanic zone, and it needs to be drunk all the way. Only flame resistance medicine can get close to the volcano; fire resistance medicine is formulated through the production of two-star monsters..."

"..."

Xia Cheng watched him explain while drawing a "road map" on the blackboard.

Unknowingly, an intricate network was formed, roughly able to cover the technological route of the entire "Hunter World".

And all of this is artificially designed, and it is said that it can be recited backwards.

"Papa papa." Xia Cheng raised his head blankly and applauded, "The designer is awesome."

Facts have proved that the designer's thinking may be the opposite of the player's.

Players will consider from low to high, first get through the first star, make the best equipment and props according to the obtained resources, and then guess which tasks they can go to explore in the second star.

The designer, on the other hand, considers from high to low, first sees the ultimate output of a technology route, then puts the technology at each level in its proper position, and then distributes the resources needed to upgrade the technology to each level. Star task - also known as "delivery output".

The word "delivery" is very vivid.

It's like a designer sitting in a helicopter, releasing airdrops at fixed times and places, and deciding what good things are in the airdrops;

And the players are chasing the airdrops wholeheartedly, and it is enough to drive them one by one...

But now in the test field, the middle process is skipped directly.

Mingyan led Xia Cheng to make preliminary preparations for hunting the volcanic dragon.

Xia Cheng was drooling: "Is it possible to get four-star weapons directly!! Bring out any good things!!"

Mingyan shook his head helplessly, so he had no choice but to take him to the weapon shop first.

Xia Cheng saw the Datachi at first glance - there is no way, the Datachi is handsome and mighty.

The ones lying here are basically all the big knives that the player can collect after the three-star mission, and there are all attributes.

Of course, forging is not free, blueprints are obtained by doing tasks, and resources need to be collected or traded by players hard.

Xia Cheng took a fancy to a "Fusang Dao · Jieyue" big sword, which is really dazzling in shape and has its own cold light special effect.

Mingyan nodded in relief: Well, it really is Xia Xiaocheng who chose the most handsome (but actually the least powerful) knife.

——But anyway, it is a fire-type volcanic dragon, so it is not impossible to use this water-type knife.

——It's better not to tell Xia Xiaocheng.

As a member of the Dadachi series, "Fusang Dao · Jieyue" requires similar resources.

Xia Cheng muttered: "160 water beast teeth, 20 pairs of salt snake leather, 4 spines of startail fish... Well, it doesn't look like much."

He checked the quest list, and found that the water beasts were monsters that appeared at the two-star level, and they were everywhere on the three-star map; the startail fish was a three-star boss monster, and they needed to be hunted by a separate task.

From this point of view—this list of resources is quite conscientious?

Xia Cheng said enthusiastically: "Aside from other things, 160 ordinary monster teeth are not difficult at all. I think I can collect them myself, and I don't need the GM to give this material as a gift! Looking at this hunter's illustrated book, there are only a few water beasts densely packed. It is said that there are dozens of teeth..."

At this time, Mingyan smiled beside him and said, "Well, a water beast will only lose 1-3 teeth, dear."

"..." Xia Cheng, "What about that fish?"

Clearly stated: "The spine is a special drop, and the player must smash all the key parts of the startail fish to have a small chance of dropping."

Xia Cheng cautiously: "'Low probability'?"

Ming said: "Probably 5%."

Xia Cheng: "..." To fight this boss with three-star hunter equipment, it probably takes more than a dozen or 10 minutes to scavenge once, and all parts must be destroyed, and there is only a 5% chance of dropping it—as expected It's still Blue Star's devil style! ! !

"No way, if you want to be handsome, you have to put in a little effort."

Mingyan smiled and opened the mailbox next to him, received the letter from the game GM, and turned all the materials in his backpack into 999 copies in one go. This is the biggest benefit of the internal test.

Xia Cheng, who has a lot of backbone: "These materials, I don't—"

Mingyan: "Huh?"

Xia Cheng: "I'm not... not enough. Let the GM give me more?"

A few minutes later, Xia Cheng walked out of the weapon shop contentedly, carrying two extremely handsome big swords "Fu Sang Dao Jieyue" and "Yan Mo Dao".

Mingyan changed to a long knife "Infinity · Ice Slash" and switched to ice attribute.

Then the two went to the armor shop, replaced all the equipment on their bodies with fire resistance, and added enchantments and gems for stun resistance.

Xia Cheng felt dizzy when he saw the resources needed for this set of equipment, and said, "These are collected by players little by little?"

Mingyan showed a kind smile: "Well, accumulating resources is part of the fun of the game, and we are very considerate of players' thoughts."

Xia Cheng: "...Then if you don't make this set of equipment, can you fight Volcanic Dragon?"

"Of course it is possible." Ming Yan said, "Blood loss is 20 points per second. At the same time, pay attention to avoiding the fire-breathing skills of the Volcanic Dragon. It is enough not to be hit by any random drops from the volcano. The difficulty is quite Let's clear the 'Body of the Ancient God' without injury in Mortal Soul."

Xia Cheng: Well, needless to say, I admit defeat.jpg

After a while, the GM sent another set of emails to the two of them.

As soon as Mingyan opened it, a lot of props and potions exploded out.

Mingyan continued to be familiar: "This is a GPS tracker. If you use a long-range weapon to penetrate into the body of the prey, it can maintain position tracking for 30 minutes; this is lava paste, which further increases fire resistance; this is a condensation agent. If you accidentally catch fire on your body Use it to extinguish it; this is a universal antidote, there will be random chemical product air in the volcanic terrain, use this to relieve various adverse reactions; oh, this is a shovel, if you are buried, I will use this You dig it out..."

Xia Cheng listened, raised his hand, and asked a crucial question: "How many times does this mission allow us to destroy the group?"

Ming Yan said with a smile: "The boss that each star encounters for the first time is called an 'encounter'. There is no limit to the total number of resurrections. It only needs to be resolved within 30 minutes."

Xia Cheng was instantly excited: "It's easy! So why not be afraid of infinite resurrection!"

Three 10 minutes later.

Xia Cheng crouched in the corner with his hands on his knees.

"..."

Mingyan: "Well, it's normal to fail the first mission. After all, we are not familiar with the monster's attack methods. We wasted a lot of time on groping."

Xia Cheng hesitated to speak.

With a clear face, Mingyan sat beside him and gave him a hug.

After sucking Ming Xiaoyan for a while, Xia Xiaocheng's blood returned to full: "Let's go wife, I know how to fight this time! The essence of soul games is actually to block and counterattack!!!"

Another 10 minutes later, there was a deafening roar.

The monster, which was bathed in magma, slammed into the black volcanic rock and let out a painful roar.

Bloody claws and broken dragon wings, grasping at the edge of the rock, trying to escape the hunt of the hunter——

Whoosh.

An arrow carrying frost shot out, breaking the final balance. The volcano dragon could no longer balance its body, and unfortunately continued to fall to the ground.

Not far away, Ming Yan, holding a longbow, whistled.

Xia Xiaocheng took out his sword + shield, leaped high into the air, and gave it a final blow!

"Heh." Xia Cheng stepped on the corpse of Volcano Dragon coldly, "mission complete."

Then he raised the shield in his left hand and the long sword in his right hand, trying to make a handsome shape to take a screenshot.

...but he failed.

——Jiandun is not as handsome as Odachi no matter how you look at it!Mistake!Sure enough, being strong is just a matter of changing weapons, and being handsome is a matter of a lifetime!

Annoyed and furious, Xia Cheng retracted his weapon, took out the hunter's knife, and began to creak, recovering resources from the corpse of the volcanic dragon.

Well, he recovered two dragon scales, one broken dragon wing, and one bottle of dragon blood.

The total weight does not exceed 30 kg.

Then the huge, several-story-high, and dozens of tons of volcanic dragon corpses were consumed like this, and then completely disappeared.

Xia Cheng: Damn, why? ? ?

And Mingyan fell into deep thought: "..."

The dragon heart with a 5% drop rate, the dragon claw with an 18% drop rate, the complete dragon wing with a 50% drop rate, and the 80-1 dragon teeth with an 3% drop rate, are they all random enough not to drop?

And the dragon scales and dragon blood that must be dropped are randomly assigned to the smallest number 1, right?

Master Ming took out his notebook.

The devil himself is not too devilish today, he thought: If Comrade Xia Cheng came to brush the forging materials of the Odachi in the future, he would be unhappy if he brushed it a hundred times before topping others ten times.

Hmm... It seems that the output of boss-level monsters really needs a guarantee mechanism.

In this way, I carefully wrote a few suggestions for improvement, and clearly said that I will look back.

Xia Xiaocheng stood at the place where the boss' body disappeared, still circling in circles in puzzlement.
