Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 93 Warm Up Exercises
When the players approached the vicious blood pool, they noticed other players approaching them from a distance.

These players were leveling here on the third day, but seeing that they were in a hurry, I am afraid that the effect of leveling in these two days will not be smooth.

"Hey, are you doing the mission here well? Is it difficult to fight?"

After being asked questions, they often just waved their hands and refused to communicate, and occasionally one or two people just hesitated, and they were almost unwilling to stay longer.

"What's the matter? I didn't hear the question on the map on the Internet."

"Me too, I don't know why these players are so shy, they don't even want to say a word to others."

Wang Yue also felt very strange, Xiao Nuo once explained to him the arrangements for the closed beta.

Although the players of the closed beta were divided into three groups, the three groups of players only had different maps, and the experience story templates and task difficulty were roughly the same.

"Information, the game environment will change according to the player's behavior, and important battles will affect the local monster ecology."

"You played dead all night and finally showed up?"

"Multiple and intensive network attacks were detected yesterday, as well as viruses disguised as data packets trying to erode my core AI."

"Attacked?"

Wang Yue also tried to contact the game system last night because the devil dog ran off the map, but did not receive any reply.

Wang Yue had some ideas about being attacked by technology. Dolly had talked to him about the source code before. Since her key had expired, Penguin would definitely use its own means to pry open the core code of the game.

"It's not good, even the cooperative company is attacking us now, Xiao Nuo, have any of your modules been hacked?"

"From the data log, it can be seen that the other party only invaded my decoy module and triggered the anti-aggression system. According to calculations, the other party has lost at least one large server."

"Oh, it's an anti-kill."

Since the other party failed to make a surprise attack and instead got a machine, it means that the technology has fallen behind artificial AI, and it will stop for a while.

The incident of being attacked by a group of programs was just an episode, Xiao Nuo's reminder made Wang Yue guess that it should be related to the campaign mission.

If the battle on the Ice Fields ended with the Yeti victorious, the cultist manipulating the Yeti would surely end up causing chaos.

Maybe the group of demon dogs from last night will cover the entire ice field, and the new players will start fighting with the demons.

"So it was the player's mission on the blood pool that failed, which caused the dark forces to turn the map into the disaster it is now."

"Understood correctly."

"Hey, even if players are carefully selected to participate in the closed beta, there is no way to prevent too many rookies from being mixed in."

Now Wang Yue can understand why the oncoming players are so silent. It is not because of her own defeat that the map has turned into such a miserable situation, and she feels too embarrassed to tell the new players.

"If you lose, you have to fight back. Players can become losers for a while, but the final victory belongs to the undefeated players."

Although Wang Yue has been communicating with Xiao Nuo, the players following him only saw him walking in silence.

Relying on her rough skin and thick flesh, Wang Yue walked straight all the way without detours, and even stepped on the boiling pool of blood.

But the blood volume of the players does not allow them to try, as long as they touch the blood pool, the [Blood Boil] debuff will appear on the interface, and the effect is to continue to lose blood until they get out of the blood pool.

Not long after he left, Wang Yue finally returned from his half-hearted state. He took a serious look and found that he had already reached the center of the map.

"It's not a long way to go this way, first initiate a mission to send the players away, and then I will ask these NPCs how to conduct the trial."

The players watched Wang Yue stop, and they realized that a new mission was about to start, so they all ran to Wang Yue and surrounded him.

"The pollution that can be seen everywhere, the minions of darkness have infiltrated here, clean them up, and I will give you endless wealth."

[Mission Objective: Eliminate the Poisonous Slime Monster (0/20)]

[Task Rewards: Wood Mining Pickaxe, Copper Ore]

Because she didn't return to the ancient castle to process props overnight, Wang Yue only had the wooden pickaxes collected and recovered from the cat man, plus the copper ore dug for a night.

As long as there are tools, unlimited wealth can be created with hardworking hands, so this task reward is not considered language fraud.

Players are a little hesitant looking at the quest items. Generally speaking, there will be equipment rewards on new maps, and recovery items will be given to them if they come to a new map. It is rare to use tools as quest rewards.

"I got it. Brother William is reminding us that if we encounter a mine again, we can dig the ore by ourselves."

"Actually, I just saw bare mines on the road, maybe you can get ore props with one or two taps."

"As expected of William, the task rewards are all eclectic."

In addition to "Lone Wake", more players just want to find something to do, and this task just gives them a reason to challenge new monsters.

Although the task does not limit single player or team, but the team is more efficient.

The players who followed Wang Yue also had their own teams, so they started to clean up the monsters in four directions with the team as a unit.

[Poisonous slime monster: a slow-moving boneless creature that can devour everything in its path]

【Level: 8】

Toxic oozes are yellow jelly-like creatures that look best left untouched due to the venomous name.

Monsters are at the same level as players, and normal attacks will not pose any threat.

Its skill [Mud Poison] can only take effect when it is close to the target. You only need to be careful in melee combat, and you will not be poisoned and lose blood because of this skill. The overall difficulty is easier than that of wild boars on the ice field.

"I'm so pissed off, why doesn't the slime have a back? I can't use my backstab anymore!"

Fat cats who are accustomed to using [Backstab] to cause a lot of damage are very uncomfortable, not to mention being poisoned by the disgusting slime monster, and the blow feels soft, with no feedback at all.

Fat Cat can only poke and retreat, relying on the long-range support of his teammates to barely kill the monster.

"Fat cat, don't go far away, start moving around me, you don't need to go forward to Jinjiu, you just need to fight close to me, and help to see the monsters approaching me by the way."

Maple Leaf's small goal today is to upgrade to level 9. When she was offline, she had already learned the hunter's third skill [Stumble].

Players who are lucky have learned the skill in advance through the skill book, and the spread skill effect is to cause a small amount of damage and slow down the target.

The disadvantage is that this skill needs to be cast at close range, but this skill has already allowed hunters to "kite" tactics.

"After completing this task, I estimate that everyone will reach level 9. If we meet Dory again, our battle will definitely be different."

Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth day of the test, Maple Leaf turned on its full horsepower, fully fired and focused on commanding while outputting with heart.

In the end, their team became the first team to complete the mission objectives.

When Maple Leaf led the team back, she happened to see three new NPCs facing William with swords.
