This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

Mu You clicked on the 'Poison Blade', took out the thing and checked it.

A dark green dagger appeared in his hand.

The dagger was slightly heavy in the hand, and the blade extended out like a snake, with the tip slightly raised and shining with an emerald green light.

The numerical value of this short sword is not very eye-catching. 20 agility is okay in the world of stars, but in the world of high heaven, especially for players who have fused the divine bones, the four-dimensional attributes have been greatly diluted. This attribute is optional. In comparison, those 5 points of divine power are much more important.

However, this thing has to occupy an equipment slot. Not to mention how scarce the equipment slots are in the real world. Muyou’s current equipment slot is too limited to store artifacts and hidden relics. He only relies on 5 points of divine power. , but he is not qualified to occupy his equipment slot.

What really makes Muyou stand out is the subsequent effect: defense reduction.

Each stabbing can reduce God's defense, and it can also be stacked. Although each layer of defense reduction can only last ten seconds, as long as the attack speed is fast enough, there is still a chance to reduce defense by more than double digits within ten seconds. This The numbers are quite impressive!

For example, the poisonous velvet spider just now has a divine defense of 20-23 points, while Mu You only has a total of 24 points of divine power. Coupled with the star suppression, the normal attack is purely scraping, and the damage basically depends on divine magic.

With this poisonous blade, he can reduce his defense by more than 5 points. Coupled with the increased divine power, his physical output ability can be greatly improved by increasing or decreasing. Even if the energy is exhausted, he can still Don't fall into a state of staring blankly.

More importantly, this weapon can be continuously upgraded!

As long as we continue to invest in materials, the effects we see now may have the opportunity to improve.

Thinking of this, Mu You immediately re-entered the poison blade into the game and started the synthesis furnace again.

[You put 1 poison blade and 5 spider web glands into the synthesis furnace. 】

[The material has a compatibility of 51% and there is a certain probability of failure. Do you confirm the synthesis? 】

"confirm."

The spider web glands and fangs are both erupted from the spider's body, so the compatibility should be good. Mu You estimates that the "normal compatibility" here is probably because the spider web glands are not considered as weapon materials.

However, he did not have any more suitable materials at hand now. Mu You tried other low-level materials one by one, and none of them had a compatibility of more than 20%, so he could only try this first.

[Synthesizing, expected to end in 10 minutes...]

The synthesis time of Baneblade + materials is much shorter.

Mu You didn't rush to set off and waited patiently for a while.

Ten minutes later, the text popped up immediately.

[Synthesis failed, you lost 5 spider web glands...]

"emmm..."

The door was dark, but it didn't matter, he was full of cobwebs.

Rare materials only have a small chance of appearing, but basically every spider will explode the web, and some will even explode multiple copies. He now holds more than 30 copies of the spider web in his hand, and he doesn't believe that he can't make it even once.

[You put 1 poison blade and 5 spider web glands into the synthesis furnace. 】

【Synthesizing...】

[Synthesis successful! You have lost 5 spider web glands, and your poison blade has been slightly upgraded. 】

[Poison Blade: Divine Power +6, Agility +20. Whenever the poison blade hits the target, it will reduce the target's Divine Defense by 1 point, lasting 12 seconds, and can be superimposed. You can continue to upgrade. 】

"Sure enough, it's a small margin..."

Mu You was speechless for a moment. The effect had not changed at all, except that the divine power and defense reduction time had increased slightly.

Shaking his head, Mu You chose to continue the synthesis.

[You put 1 poison blade and 5 spider web glands into the synthesis furnace. 】

[Synthesis failed...]

…

[Synthesis failed...]

"Tsk, keep going!"

[Synthesis failed...]

"emmm..."

…

It is a pity that the result of the synthesis furnace cannot be retrieved with a pocket watch because the time is far more than ten seconds.

The result of this thing is actually determined the moment the materials are put in. However, Mu You cannot know the result until the synthesis is completed and the furnace is opened. He can only watch the result appear without being able to change it.

This is the same as the principle of condensing spider corpses to explode materials: at the moment the monster dies, whether rare materials can be condensed from the corpse has actually been determined, but Mu You has to wait until the condensation is completed to see the results, and the condensation process It's far beyond the time limit of the pocket watch, so there's no point in going back.

At present, the re-roll effect of the time pocket watch can basically only be used to select instantaneous events, and is powerless for such long-term events.

[...Synthesis successful! Your poison blade has received a major upgrade! 】

This kind of random synthesis has a sense of déjà vu as if you were drawing cards with krypton gold. Mu You originally thought of simply combining it twice to see the effect, but the result was that the more you combined it, the more you combined it, and you unknowingly used up all the spider silk.

Fortunately, the result was pretty good, with a total of 35 spider silks, synthesized 7 times, failed four times, and succeeded three times, the last of which prompted a 'larger' upgrade.

After the last batch of synthesis was completed, Mu You hurriedly clicked to view the results.

[Poison Velvet Knife: Divine Power +8, Agility +25. Whenever the Poison Velvet Knife stabs, the enemy's divine defense will be reduced by 1 point, lasting for 15 seconds, and can be superimposed. After five consecutive hits, a layer of spider web will condense on the target's body, restricting the target's ability to move. Can continue to be upgraded (cannot be synthesized with spider web glands). 】

"good!"

Mu You nodded with satisfaction. The upgraded Poison Blade's values ​​have been greatly improved compared to the original, and it also has the effect of cobweb restraint. Even the name has been directly changed to 'Poison Velvet Knife', but said It is the incarnation of a miniature poisonous velvet spider.

Now the poisonous velvet knife is qualified to compete with those relics in the equipment column. It just happened that a new equipment column was opened after rising to star, and Mu You directly put the poisonous velvet knife into it.

[You are equipped with the Poison Velvet Knife. The current equipment slot (5/5) is: Omniscient Crystal, Synthetic Furnace, Wind Kirin Arm, Solar Affinity, and Poison Velvet Knife. 】

The synthesis process of the synthesis furnace must also be carried out in the equipment slot. There is no need to disassemble it for the time being. Mu You just threw some useless materials in and slowly drew the prize, and then controlled the character to set off.

Now that the poisonous velvet knife can no longer be synthesized with spider silk, there is no point in continuing to hunt poisonous velvet spiders. Fortunately, there are still many high-star creatures in this mountain forest, so there is no need to worry about hunting.

[You and Bone Dragon bypassed the crowd and walked out of the dense forest, setting foot on a low mountain in the north...]

【Climbing the mountain...】

In the next few days, Mu You and the Bone Dragon wandered around the mountains, looking for four or five-star monsters, buying materials to upgrade the poisonous velvet knife, and at the same time gaining divinity.

As for the creatures below three stars, there are too few divinities, so both of them look down on them. Moreover, they have to compete with many ordinary players, so the efficiency is not as good as those who specialize in four or five stars.

It has to be said that the influx of hundreds of millions of players is indeed a devastating blow to the local ecosystem.

Creatures in the real world are not like the star spirit world, which can be resurrected by deducting their lifespan. If the creatures here are wiped out, they are really gone.

The hungry players were like locusts crossing the border, taking Dawn City as the center and spreading to the surrounding areas, harvesting all the living creatures they could see along the way.

In just one week since Dawn City arrived, a monster vacuum zone had been cleared by players within a hundred miles of the birthplace.

Nowadays, it is much more difficult for players to open up the wasteland and encounter a monster than it was at the beginning. It takes an average of one or two hours to wander around before encountering one.

The sharp decrease in monsters also forced players to continue to spread outwards, and information on surrounding terrain creatures and other information was continuously collected on the forum.

Three days later, a guide "About Dawn City's birthplace map and biological distribution overview" was publicly posted on the forum homepage by the strategy team.

Players rushed to read it, and then followed the map instructions to form a team to kill specific monsters. The efficiency was finally higher, but some popular monsters that were easy to kill still had more wolves and less meat, so they often needed to fight over them, and this fight would inevitably lead to conflicts. , there have been many gang fights in the past few days.

In this regard, the situation of elite players such as Mu You is much better. Their target is the high-star monster, which does not conflict with the needs of ordinary players, and there is a lot of room for choice.

Mu You also flipped through Blue Eyes White Dragon's new guide for the first time, not to look at the terrain, but to look at the creature list to look for monsters that could upgrade the poisonous velvet knife.

The materials put into the synthesis furnace must have sufficient compatibility with the poisonous velvet knife. As for the mechanism of 'compatibility', Mu You has not yet fully understood the rules, but he can guess a thing or two about the basic situation.

The poisonous velvet knife is made from the drops of the poisonous velvet spider, so you only need to find monsters that are as similar as possible to the poisonous velvet spider in all aspects.

With this need in mind, Mu You quickly locked onto a monster called the 'Vampire Scorpion'.

[Vampire Scorpion (5 stars): A highly poisonous scorpion-like creature that lives in rocky areas. It uses pincers and scorpion tails as weapons. It has amazing defensive power. It also has the ability to suck blood and has strong reproductive capabilities. Each poisonous scorpion has a nest In addition to the mother scorpions, there are often a large number of baby scorpions, which are extremely difficult to kill. God's power 25-27, God's defense 30-33, real life: 3900-4200. Abilities: real creatures, scorpion tail needle, scorpion poison corrosion...]

This creature and the poisonous velvet spider both have 5 stars, are both poisonous creatures, and are both arthropod creatures. They are one of the monsters with the most similarities in the vicinity. Mu You estimates that the materials released by these two creatures will not be compatible. Low.

[...You quietly approached a protruding rock in front of you. 】

[In the gap between the rocks ahead, a vampire scorpion is facing away from you, eating a rabbit-like creature, seemingly unaware of your approach...]

[You made an 'attack' gesture to the bone dragon approaching from the other side, then jumped out, rushed behind the scorpion, waved the short knife in your hand, and slashed at the scorpion three times. The scorpion's body surface suddenly rose. A layer of green mist...]

[The scorpion discovered you now, became furious, and turned to bite you. 】

[The Bone Dragon took the opportunity to make a sneak attack, emerged from the rock crevice on the other side, and quickly wrapped around the Scorpion. When the Petrified Gaze was activated, the Scorpion suddenly felt like it was in a quagmire, and every move became extremely difficult...]

[You took the opportunity to make two more cuts, and a layer of spider web quietly formed on the scorpion's body, completely sticking it in place, making it impossible to escape...]

[The devil scorpion let out a sharp scream, and densely packed young scorpions emerged from the cracks in the surrounding rocks. There were at least hundreds of them, waving their scorpion tails, and surrounding you and the bone dragon. No matter how high you and the Bone Dragon's defenses are, they still can't withstand the siege of so many poisonous scorpions. You choose...]

[You ignored the young scorpions around you and released the magic ‘Fight Alone’! 】

[You enjoy the exemption from the rules of ‘fighting alone’, and you and the Bone Dragon continue to launch a righteous attack on the Scorpion. 】

[Under the effect of fighting alone, the attacks of the surrounding young scorpions will always be ineffective against you and the bone dragon, and with every attack, the young scorpions will be wrapped with a layer of chain of order. 】

[Soon, all the young scorpions on the scene were hung with several layers of golden chains, and the number was still increasing rapidly...]

[The Scorpion has no power to resist under the double restriction of you and the Bone Dragon. It can only watch you cut its flesh with blunt knives and reduce its life bit by bit until it reaches zero...]

[You added the final blow and killed the vampire scorpion...]

[You released the 'Destruction of Order', and the chains of order on all the surrounding baby scorpions were detonated together. Each baby scorpion suffered high damage far exceeding their upper limit of life. Amidst the dense screams, the densely packed baby scorpions The scorpions lay on their backs one after another, making no movement. 】

[You killed the vampire scorpion baby. 】

[You killed the vampire scorpion baby. 】*246

…

"Comfortable!"

Mu You looked at the killing prompts that filled the screen in the game and let out a long breath.

There's nothing more stress-relieving than the sight of clearing a screen full of loot with a single blow.

At the same time, he also felt more and more that the Order Department was a scoundrel.

Not only are these scorpions poisonous, they have high health resistance and can suck blood. In addition, they live in groups and will appear in large groups when they are beaten. It can be said that they are one of the types of creatures that players least want to face.

I am afraid that no other pantheon can fight back when surrounded by dense creatures like this. It would be great if they can escape unscathed.

But for the order system, it only takes two simple moves to clear the field easily without any damage!

Single fighting + order destruction, one is a human sea tactical nemesis, and the other is group harvesting. When used together, it is absolutely invincible to deal with this combination of a large group of small monsters.

After admiring the settlement screen for more than ten seconds, Mu You controlled the character to step forward to collect the loot.

[You condensed the body of the vampire scorpion and obtained 79 divine crystals, a vampire tail needle*1, and a scorpion carapace*2. 】

[The miser title is activated, and you condense 8 additional divine crystals. 】

After the condensation was completed, Mu You ignored the young scorpions there for the time being. Instead, he hurriedly removed the poisonous velvet knife and put it into the synthesis furnace. He also added the blood-sucking tail needle he had just obtained and the four tail needles he had acquired before. Throw them all into the synthesis furnace.

[You put 1 poisonous velvet knife and 5 vampire tail needles into the synthesis furnace. 】

[The material compatibility is 91%. There is a high probability that the Poison Velvet Knife will receive a considerable upgrade, and a very small probability of obtaining a mediocre upgrade. Do you confirm the synthesis? 】

91!

Mu You was pleasantly surprised. He guessed that the material compatibility of this kind of scorpion might be higher, but he didn't expect it to be so high!

It has a high probability, and it directly prompts 'considerable improvement', which is much more generous than the previous descriptions such as 'smaller magnitude' and 'slight improvement'.

"Synthesis!" Mu You confirmed decisively.

[Compositing in progress, expected to end in ten minutes...]

The synthesis took some time, so Mu You took the opportunity to collect the young scorpions on the ground and condense them.

These young scorpions only have one star, and each one can only condense 1-2 crystals. Fortunately, there are enough of them. In the last statistics, including the devil scorpions, this wave has condensed a total of 396 crystals, which is equivalent to hunting. The income from killing ordinary 5-star creatures is four to five times higher!

Coupled with the divinity he has gained in the past few days, his divinity deposit has now exceeded the 2,000 mark for the first time, reaching 2,120.

After sharing the divinity happily with Bone Dragon, the synthesis time was almost up, and Mu You was about to take a look at the synthesis result.

At this time, an unexpected prompt popped up first.

[You are counting the 'big money' in your hand. Suddenly, in the clouds and mist high in the sky, a bird's hoofbeat sounds, echoing through the empty valley, mourning for a long time. 】

[You curiously took out the fog-breaking mirror and looked up at the sky, and saw a huge shadow emerging from the clouds. 】

[This seems to be some kind of giant bird, spreading its wings and hovering in the clouds. Judging from the outline, the wingspan of this bird is dozens of times larger than that of a bone dragon. The shadow it casts even easily blocks the low mountain at your feet. ...]

[After hovering in the sky for several weeks, the giant bird suddenly stops in your direction and swoops down towards you...]

"Oh, a bird bigger than a mountain?" Mu You was confused.

In the world of giants, the size of a creature is often directly proportional to its strength. It is dozens of times larger than a bone dragon. What star-level creature must it be?

Speaking of which, why would this creature suddenly focus on him? Who did he provoke?
