This Weird Three Kingdoms game is too cruel.

Special Division.
"Director Zhou, according to the latest news, most of the players invited this time have confirmed their participation, including the main members of the three major corps of the Temple of War, Wings of Freedom, and Shenyu Palace."
Feng Ying came to Zhou Zhengming to report: "Academician Xia's team arrived in Shanghai ahead of schedule and has made relevant preparations."
Zhou Zhengming nodded slightly.
Everything is going according to plan.
There are two main purposes for holding this offline event this time.
First, it is under the official name that players are gathered offline to examine the bodies of senior players and collect various important data to better study and understand the changes the game has on the body.
Second, of course, they publicly pretended to be the production team and continued to release smoke bombs to delay more time. At the same time, they also wanted to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with these senior players and do some united front work.
In addition, the Special Investigation Department also wanted to test the attitude of the real producers of Three Kingdoms through this event.
If the other party doesn't respond much to this offline gathering, it means that the people behind the scenes don't care about the real world, or they don't care about the small actions of these humans on the earth.
So, as long as the game can continue to operate and develop, he should not take the initiative to change the status quo.
Zhou Zhengming urged: "A new round of player recruitment in the Three Kingdoms has begun. This time, the recruitment quota is as high as 11500 people. Our special recruitment department must also seize the opportunity to attract more talents!"
"Yes!"
"How is the progress of the Xinwan City special research team?"
Feng Ying immediately took out a thick stack of documents.
Zhou Zhengming was satisfied with the content after reading it a little.
These are the basic information on Xinwan City that Eternal Dragon Soul and other players have collected so far, including preliminary collection of population, power, military, history, geography, economy, humanities, folk customs, and skills.
Every time the territory expands into an area, it will bring many opportunities, and these opportunities are hidden in these materials.
The Special Investigation Division set up a special research team to conduct analysis.
"Xinwan has a sufficient population and great development potential. It is likely to become one of the important towns in the territory in the future, but at the moment, there are many industries waiting to be developed and it has great investment value."
Feng Ying paused for a moment before continuing.
"In addition, judging from the current signs, the lord should promote the reshuffle of forces and the reorganization of the army in Xinwan. In this process, a large number of elites and talents will flow into the territory to form the territorial army."
"With the advent of the lord era, the influence of the major families in Wancheng will inevitably decline, and they will definitely find other ways to find a way out. Among them, joining the corps is a good choice."
“We can take this opportunity to discover talent!”
No matter what era.
wherever.
Talent is always the most precious resource.
The total population of Xinwan is close to 40.
There will definitely be some very qualified people among them.
The characteristics of these characters are fast cultivation speed and high growth panel of character attributes. If such characters are found and recruited and cultivated, it is entirely possible for them to play an important role in the territory and the corps in the future.
Of course, the so-called talents do not necessarily have to be combat talents. Some are good at management, some are good at strategy, some are good at business, some can be engaged in production, etc. As long as they can play a role in team development, they are worth exploring and cultivating.
Zhou Zhengming nodded: "Not only the major families, but as far as I know there are forces like Jiyin Sect in Xinwan. Guangjiyin Sect has no less than a hundred third-level elites. The Jiyin secret method they master is very valuable. There are also important figures like Jia Xu.”
Feng Ying said: "I think we can try to recruit one or two Jiyin Sect elders to join the Immortal Dragon Soul, or arrange for players from our special training department to join the Jiyin Sect."
No matter what measures are taken.
The most important thing is the speed of the troops.
The Special Adjustment Department's current power in the game, Immortal Dragon Soul, is developing rapidly under the leadership of Wang Yue. Now Wang Yue has become a first-tier player, giving the official power a lot of room to display in the game.
Zhou Zhengming asked again: "How is the public opinion overseas?"
Feng Ying replied: "The game "Three Kingdoms" has become more and more popular overseas. It may have attracted the attention of relevant departments of Baiying, Sakura, Tianzhu, and the Europa League. Among them, the Ragnarok Corps established by King Arthur is suspected of being behind the scenes. There are shadows of international consortiums.”
The Three Kingdoms became popular and came out of the circle too fast.
Now it is not only popular in China, but also rapidly sweeping abroad.
During this period, various overseas translations of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms" were sold out, and TV series and movies about the Three Kingdoms were even quietly on the hit list in various countries.
From the perspective of cultural output.
This wave is undoubtedly an unprecedented success.
The game "Three Kingdoms" has become a global cultural phenomenon.
There are many black uncles or blond men who are fans of the Five Tiger Generals and Crouching Dragons and Phoenixes.
Discussions on occult topics and the story of the Three Kingdoms can often be seen on various social and Q&A platforms.
Various long and short video platforms are filled with a large number of second-generation content that analyzes occultism and elements of the Three Kingdoms.
Zhou Zhengming frowned slightly. The number of overseas players in the Three Kingdoms is also growing. Various supernatural phenomena will eventually be discovered. Paper cannot cover the fire after all. More and more forces will join in to compete. .
It is necessary to pass this offline event.
To reveal a little bit of secrets and rumors about the major corps.
On the one hand, it increases their confidence and expectations for this game, and on the other hand, it also allows them to work harder to develop themselves.
Although there is a competitive relationship between several large corps and the Immortal Dragon Soul, no matter what, these corps are our own people, which is completely different from the nature of Ragnarok.
perhaps.
not far in the future.
The power structure of the Three Kingdoms in the Abyss will mirror the real world.
The most intense international disputes and competitions in the future are likely to take place in this "virtual" world.
I am afraid that before the Three Kingdoms can completely reshape all mankind, its influence will overturn the global structure. This kind of influence and change will exceed any world war or industrial revolution in history.
Feng Ying continued: "There is another thing that deserves our attention."
Zhou Zhengming: "You should be talking about the threat from the star lords from outside Woniu Mountain!"
"Yes, half an hour ago, we received the latest information that a stronghold called Huangmei Township in the northernmost part of Woniu Mountain has been occupied by a foreign lord."
"what?"
This is no small matter!
Anything that threatens the territory is no small matter!
Because according to the game settings of the Three Kingdoms, as long as the territory is breached or the lord dies, all player data will be deleted, and the entire game will enter the so-called indefinite suspension state.
So forget it if this is really just a game.
The problem is this is not a game!
Zhou Zhengming also didn’t know what it would mean to mankind if this situation occurred.
Perhaps the opportunity to transform and upgrade is forever lost?Or even usher in cruel punishment for game failure?No matter what, we must not let this happen, and we must assist the lord to defeat any possible threats.
"Is there any action from the Lord's side?"
"The lord has deployed Zhou Cang and Wenpin to Shansang City. In addition, he has recruited a thousand natural disaster troops through missions. He is probably preparing to take back Huangmei Township."
Zhou Cang, Wenpin.
They are the two most important generals in the territory.
The lord deployed them to Woniu Mountain at the same time, which shows that he did not underestimate the enemy.
Zhou Zhengming said: "Huangmei Township has no defensive value. I think the lord's attack is just a test. Let our people pay close attention to the development of the situation and be ready to respond at any time."
"Yes!"
…………
now.
The main city of Luoshui.
Guzhou went online not long ago.
He learned about this mission.
[Mission name: Attack Huangmei Township! 】
[Mission content: Huangmei Township in the Woniushan area has been occupied by alien forces. The Lord decided to send Canglong Guard to test the truth. As a natural disaster army, he should participate in the action and play his role. 】
[Mission goal: Please try your best to hunt down the foreign family members or recapture Huangmei Township. 】
[How to participate: Please go to Shansang City to register in time. 】
[Number of people on the mission: 1000/1000! 】
[Task reward: 1000-5 essence, 1000-5 contribution points, and a certain probability of obtaining random equipment and props. 】
【…】
This mission was relatively sudden, and there were only a thousand places available, which resulted in many bosses who didn’t have time to go online not catching up.
When Gu Zhou saw it.
The mission is already full.
This made him feel a little sorry.
However, the rewards for the mission are not too generous, and it is estimated that the size and strength of the aliens occupying Huangmei Township are not very strong.
Guzhou's body in the real world is currently on a business trip, and it is not convenient for him to perform such a team battle mission.
never mind!
It was just a tentative encounter.
It is estimated that the real war is still to come.
Instead of worrying about one mission, it is better to seize the time to improve yourself and prepare for the next larger-scale confrontation!
Guzhou then went to the warehouse to extract materials for his territory.
These include 18 high-grade evil fallen gems, 40 various types of strengthened gems, 25 forged crystals, plus 2 forged spiritual crystals obtained from Xinwan mission rewards.
All are materials obtained from participating in operations during this period.
Gu Zhou took another look at his total contribution points. Currently, he has 23 contribution points!
According to the current market situation.
The market value of this contribution point is at least tens of millions!
And the value of these materials is not much inferior.
Gu Zhou secretly thought: "It should be enough to prepare so many materials and contribution points. I hope everything goes well today!"
After leaving the warehouse.
Arrive at the first weapon refining workshop in the main city.
There are now several weapon-refining workshops in the main city, with at least ten resident weapon-refining masters.
The No. [-] Weapon Refining Workshop in the main city is the earliest Weapon Refining Workshop, and it is also the workshop with the best service and the strongest Weapon Refining ability.
When Gu Zhou walked into the workshop, it was already overcrowded. Not only were players queuing up for weapon refining services, but many territorial NPCs also came here to strengthen their equipment.
"Lone boat!"
"It's Mr. Guzhou!"
"Give way to the boss!"
Gu Zhou is usually taciturn and does not have a strong sense of presence, but his strength is the top among the Scourge Army, so he is quite famous among the army.
"Xiaozhou! You're here to refine weapons too!" A bold and rough voice sounded in his ears, and a bald man wearing luxurious armor and carrying a ferocious giant hammer appeared in front of him.
It was none other than the famous Corps Commander Ye Limeng!
Gu Zhou: "Thank you Boss Ye for sending a special car to pick me up. I'm sitting in the car right now. I have nothing to do anyway. Why not use this time to upgrade my equipment."
"Hahaha, I've arrived at the Magic City in advance. Let's have a good encounter tonight!"
Ye Limeng held Guzhou in high regard. After all, Guzhou and Kuangdao Laowang were the two most powerful members of the War Temple Corps, and they would definitely become the backbone of the regiment in the future.
Gu Zhou glanced at the weapon refining workshop.
He couldn't help but frown: "Isn't Chief Yan Ling here?"
Yan Ling, the chief weapon refiner of Luoshui City, is the best weapon refiner in the territory and the first to appear at the third level of senior weapon refiner. However, she did not appear at her post at this moment.
Ye Limeng said: "Yan Ling asked for leave."
asked for leave?
This is really strange!
Yan Ling is a well-known workaholic.
This is when the demand for weapon refining is high.
How could she ask for leave at this time with her personality?
Ye Limeng continued: "She seems to have encountered some refining problems, so she took leave to return to Shengcang City to seek help from the dean of the refining academy. It is estimated that she will not be back until tomorrow."
Gu Zhou sighed: "That's such a pity. I'd better come back tomorrow!"
"do not!"
Gu Zhou only saw a rat man with gray fur, only 1.4 meters tall, four eyes and four ears who looked very shrewd and cunning stood up.
This person is no one else.
It was Peak, the weapon refiner of the Double-faced Rat Clan.
Behind him was a rock man who was more than two meters tall and had two horns. This was Yan Mu from the Flaming Horn Stone Clan.
"Yanmu and I can also provide the same service. After all, we are both senior weapon refiners in Luoshui City!" Pique doesn't want to miss out on big customers. The income of the territory's employees is currently divided into two parts. The first part is the bonus based on the total performance of the workshop. , the other part is the proportion of the individual's performance.
Generally speaking, commission still accounts for the majority.
Gu Zhou looked suspicious: "Can you do it?"
Pique was not angry but explained: "Although our abilities alone are a bit different from Chief Yan Ling, the two of us combined are no worse than Chief Yan Ling!"
Ye Limeng laughed and said: "Pi Ke is already a third-level intermediate weapon refiner who can forge third-level equipment, and Yanmu is a second-level advanced weapon refiner who can forge blue equipment. The two of them worked together to create third-level blue equipment. It’s not a big problem, I think you can give it a try.”
Both Pique and Yanmu showed gratitude to Ye Limeng.
The two were weapon refiners born at the bottom of Shengcang City. Luoshui City gave them the opportunity to change their lives against the odds, so they both cherished this job and hoped to make greater contributions to the territory.
Yan Ling is not the only one who is a territorial weapon refiner.
Recently, he was promoted by the lord.
They also received a very huge boost.
Although the current level of ability is a little worse than that of Yan Ling, it is not much inferior if they join forces.
Ye Limeng estimated.
It won't take a few days.
As more and more players reach level three.
They will be directly trained by the lord to become third-level advanced weapon refiners like Yan Ling, and then they can go to several other weapon refiners in Luoshui City as store managers, or be sent to places like Xinwan to be the local chief weapon refiners. .
now.
The reason why they are not famous.
The main reason is the lack of an opportunity to perform.
As the leader of a corps, Ye Limeng naturally wants to have a good relationship with these NPCs. In the future, the corps will need special refining needs, and having this kind of friendship will make it easier to deal with them.
Guzhou hesitated for a moment.
Finally decided to give it a try.
He took out his sword.
[Scarlet Bloodstained Sword +8], second-level equipment, green top grade, attack +125, agility +20, strength +10, attack speed +20, attached skill scarlet curse, durability 50/50.
"Good weapon!"
Pi Ke and Yan Mu held the blood-stained sword and praised it.
Although it is a good weapon, it is no longer suitable for the current Guzhou. He needs a higher-level weapon to exert his full strength.
Guzhou took out various gem materials and forging crystals that he had prepared for this enhancement.
Pi Ke and Yan Mu felt their eyes light up.
Why do they like to serve this kind of customers?The main reason is that this kind of customer service is not only a wealthy person, but also has a lot of material resources in hand, giving them more room to play and the difficulty will be greatly reduced!
The two of them were in no hurry to get started.
This weapon refining is very important.
It has a very important impact on your career!
Guzhou has a great reputation among the Scourge Legion. If he can build a powerful weapon for him, it will be equivalent to creating a living brand for himself, and his reputation will naturally spread.
In this way, you can receive more big orders!
The two went through some research and discussion.
Finally came up with a plan.
Peake said: "The key to this weapon enhancement lies in the use of gem materials. Gem materials can be used to improve or break through the quality of equipment, and can also be used to give equipment new capabilities."
"Your Excellency Gu Zhou has brought you a wide variety of gem materials. Among them, the Thousand-Legged Demonic Dragon Gem and the Three-Headed Evil Dragon Gem are extremely precious gems, but we do not recommend that you use these gems for this weapon."
Yanmu nodded: "Yes!"
Gu Zhou asked: "Why?"
Peake explained: "This bloodstained sword has very excellent curse characteristics. If you want to further strengthen its specialties, you can only achieve the goal by using gems with similar properties. Only in this way can you have a greater chance of generating additional skills."
Yanmu nodded: "That's right!"
Guzhou asked: "What will happen if other gems are used?"
Peake replied: "Doing so may completely change the characteristics of the weapon. Although it may not necessarily become worse, there is too much uncertainty."
Yanmu nodded again.
There are obviously more ways to refine equipment than imagined.
Using different materials to strengthen and break through can achieve different effects.
Nowadays, players collect too little information and data, so they can only try their luck in many cases. The advice of the weapon refiner is particularly important.
After Guzhou learned more about it.
Finally agreed to the plan proposed by the two men.
Pique said: "Then let's get started!"
After the two of them were ready.
First take out the Evil Fallen Gem to strengthen the weapon.
Evil Fallen Gemstones are a very common gem material and will be dropped by almost all Evil Fallen in the Abyss. However, the quality of the gems dropped by Evil Fallen at different levels is different.
Fallen gems generally do not have any additional properties and can be simply used to improve or break through the quality of equipment without worrying about changes in the nature of the weapon.
Among the evil gems brought by Guzhou.
There are three high-grade blue gems dropped from the demonized Zhang Xiu.
The Bloodstained Sword only consumed two of its qualities and succeeded in breaking through!
[Scarlet Bloodstained Sword +3], second-level equipment, low-grade blue, attack +130, agility +24, strength +12, attack speed +20, attached skill scarlet curse, durability 50/50.
Although the grade changes from green to blue.
But from the perspective of equipment attributes, the improvement does not seem to be significant.
However, the equipment level has changed from level 8 to level 3, which is enough to mean that the equipment has been greatly improved. At the same level, the attributes of blue equipment far exceed that of green quality equipment.
Quality breakthrough successful!
The two weapon refiners then joined forces to carry out a level breakthrough.
This time, a forging spiritual crystal obtained from the Xinwan mission was consumed.
This is a material far more precious than forging crystals. There are only a few among the entire player group, but the effect is immediate, and the breakthrough is successful in just one time.
[Scarlet Bloodstained Sword], third-level equipment, low-grade blue, attack +148, agility +50, strength +27, attack speed +30, attached skill scarlet curse, durability 70/70.
Although the level of equipment has dropped again.
This time it dropped directly from level 3 to level 0!
However, various attributes have been greatly enhanced compared to the original!
This piece of equipment has changed from the original second-level green high-grade to the third-level blue low-grade. The improvement is beyond imagination.
Because Gu Zhou has enough top-grade materials in his hands.
These two parts are actually not difficult. The most critical thing about refining this weapon is the subsequent refining.
Pique and Yanmu join forces.
Strengthen the quality of the Bloodstained Sword eight times in one breath.
These eight enhancements consume 3 Evil Infant left eye gems, 4 Evil Infant right eye gems, and 4 Death Curse gems respectively.
[Death Curse Bloodstained Sword], third-level equipment, blue mid-grade, attack +182, agility +70, strength +38, attack speed +50, normal damage to cursed targets +20%, critical hit to cursed targets Damage +100%, attached skills: Scarlet Curse, Evil Infant Curse, Death Curse, Durability 70/70.
When new weapon properties are revealed.
The entire weapon refining workshop burst into cheers.
Ye Limeng's eyes widened: "Third-skill weapon? Damn it! This is so awesome!"
The new weapon not only reaches the third-level blue mid-level quality, but also has explosive growth in attributes, and it also has three additional skills!
such equipment.
Unprecedented, unprecedented!
The skills attached to these three equipment are all curse skills.
Among them, the effect of the Scarlet Curse does not change much. This skill can be triggered with a probability during the process of causing damage to the enemy, thus adding a curse similar to "bleeding", which can cause the target to continuously and rapidly lose health.
The scarlet curse can be superimposed. The more times it is superimposed, the more severe the bleeding effect will be. If there is no targeted means to break it, it will eventually continue to bleed until death.
The Evil Infant Curse is triggered every time damage is caused to the target, and an Evil Infant Curse can be placed on the target. This curse has the effect of reducing the opponent's damage saving throw and various attributes.
The Evil Infant Curse can also be stacked, but there is a maximum time limit. When the Evil Infant Curse disappears, it will turn into a spiritual attack, causing damage to the target.
The last thing is the death curse.
This skill is very similar to Cao Ang's "Death Curse"!
Gu Zhou can launch a killing curse on the target marked by his own curse.
Once this skill is activated, it will absorb all the magic power on the opponent and turn it into a sure-hit slash with extremely high damage, ignoring defense and ignoring distance.
The more curses are stacked on the opponent.
The more powerful the death curse becomes.
All the players were shocked.
Gu Zhou's strength was originally ranked among the top ten or even top five in the Scourge Army. Now that he has such a cursed killing weapon, who dares to say that he can defeat him in the future?
Just be stabbed by this sword.
There is a high probability that you will be hit by the Scarlet Curse and the Evil Infant Curse.
Even if you don't die at the time, the curse will be very uncomfortable.
Even if you use some means to escape from the big boss, the opponent can directly launch a killing curse that ignores distance and is sure to hit. Even if you hide to the end of the world, you will inevitably be stabbed again.
terrible!
terror!
Gu Zhou was also very happy.
He didn't expect it to have such a good effect.
Finally, the remaining contribution points were spent to strengthen the sword to level 3.
The cost of strengthening the third-level blue equipment is too expensive.
Even Gu Zhou can only temporarily strengthen to this level. Next, if he wants to learn new skills at the Skill Tower or go to the Enlightenment Tower to learn new skills, he probably can only borrow certain contribution points from Ye Limeng.
Not enough money!
Contribution points are simply not enough!
There are a total of eleven pieces of equipment in the whole body.
Just one piece of equipment wiped out all my savings!
Guzhou couldn't wait anymore. He wanted to continue participating in the mission, fight for the territory through life and death again, and try the power of the new weapon by the way!
The two weapon refiners, Pi Ke and Yan Mu, also looked pleased.
The reputation of this deadly cursed bloodstained sword will surely spread.
It will become the signature work of the two in the next period of time. Although it cannot be compared with the Yellow Sky Demonic Dragon suit worn by Sister Yan Ling, it is more than enough to build a reputation.
Waiting alone is just the beginning!
The number of third-level masters in the Scourge Army is increasing rapidly.
The demand for breakthroughs or equipment upgrades like this will be huge.
This group of natural disaster elites will be like a lonely boat, their strength has greatly increased due to the improvement of equipment.
In fact, it is not just the Scourge Legion that has a large demand for weapon refining. With the territory's successful annexation of Xinwan, the number of third-level people has greatly increased, and many indigenous people also have this need.
It can be said.
To succeed.
Just around the corner!
The scene where Gu Zhou successfully forged a super powerful weapon.
Naturally, it also brought quite a shock and sensation to other players present!
Whether it is gem materials or forging stone materials, they can only be obtained from high-level monsters, rare monsters, and missions. You must dare to take risks to kill BOSS, or participate in large-scale missions.
Only in this way can top equipment be created!
Soon after.
Guzhou is offline.
He arrived in Magic City by plane.
As soon as I landed, I was arranged by the airport pick-up staff to take a special car and successfully arrived at the location of this offline exchange conference.
The official did not want to keep a low profile. The event was held in a five-star hotel in the bustling area of Shanghai. Various media reporters with long guns and short guns had already heard the news and were reporting on this unique exchange meeting. .
on the forum.
Various live broadcast posts are also flooding the screen.
After all, from the perspective of offline activities of a game.
This can be said to be an unprecedented high-level event, no less than the luxurious annual meetings of some top companies or summit meetings in various fields.
For cloud players.
Neither is the secret of the game itself.
It’s still the gossip of these closed beta bosses.
For them, it is a topic worth being curious about and even talking about.
(PS: This chapter is an extra chapter, and tonight’s normal update may be a little later. Last night, about the first ten chapters were suddenly blocked. It’s really tiring to see such an incident during the recommendation period!)
(End of this chapter)

Zhou Zhengming nodded: "Not only the major families, but as far as I know there are forces like Jiyin Sect in Xinwan. Guangjiyin Sect has no less than a hundred third-level elites. The Jiyin secret method they master is very valuable. There are also important figures like Jia Xu.”

Because according to the game settings of the Three Kingdoms, as long as the territory is breached or the lord dies, all player data will be deleted, and the entire game will enter the so-called indefinite suspension state.
So forget it if this is really just a game.
The problem is this is not a game!
Zhou Zhengming also didn’t know what it would mean to mankind if this situation occurred.
Perhaps the opportunity to transform and upgrade is forever lost?Or even usher in cruel punishment for game failure?No matter what, we must not let this happen, and we must assist the lord to defeat any possible threats.
"Is there any action from the Lord's side?"
"The lord has deployed Zhou Cang and Wenpin to Shansang City. In addition, he has recruited a thousand natural disaster troops through missions. He is probably preparing to take back Huangmei Township."
Zhou Cang, Wenpin.
They are the two most important generals in the territory.
The lord deployed them to Woniu Mountain at the same time, which shows that he did not underestimate the enemy.
Zhou Zhengming said: "Huangmei Township has no defensive value. I think the lord's attack is just a test. Let our people pay close attention to the development of the situation and be ready to respond at any time."
"Yes!"
…………
now.
The main city of Luoshui.
Guzhou went online not long ago.
He learned about this mission.
[Mission name: Attack Huangmei Township! 】
[Mission content: Huangmei Township in the Woniushan area has been occupied by alien forces. The Lord decided to send Canglong Guard to test the truth. As a natural disaster army, he should participate in the action and play his role. 】
[Mission goal: Please try your best to hunt down the foreign family members or recapture Huangmei Township. 】
[How to participate: Please go to Shansang City to register in time. 】
[Number of people on the mission: 1000/1000! 】
[Task reward: 1000-5 essence, 1000-5 contribution points, and a certain probability of obtaining random equipment and props. 】
【…】
This mission was relatively sudden, and there were only a thousand places available, which resulted in many bosses who didn’t have time to go online not catching up.
When Gu Zhou saw it.
The mission is already full.
This made him feel a little sorry.
However, the rewards for the mission are not too generous, and it is estimated that the size and strength of the aliens occupying Huangmei Township are not very strong.
Guzhou's body in the real world is currently on a business trip, and it is not convenient for him to perform such a team battle mission.
never mind!
It was just a tentative encounter.
It is estimated that the real war is still to come.
Instead of worrying about one mission, it is better to seize the time to improve yourself and prepare for the next larger-scale confrontation!
Guzhou then went to the warehouse to extract materials for his territory.
These include 18 high-grade evil fallen gems, 40 various types of strengthened gems, 25 forged crystals, plus 2 forged spiritual crystals obtained from Xinwan mission rewards.
All are materials obtained from participating in operations during this period.
Gu Zhou took another look at his total contribution points. Currently, he has 23 contribution points!
According to the current market situation.
The market value of this contribution point is at least tens of millions!
And the value of these materials is not much inferior.
Gu Zhou secretly thought: "It should be enough to prepare so many materials and contribution points. I hope everything goes well today!"
After leaving the warehouse.
Arrive at the first weapon refining workshop in the main city.
There are now several weapon-refining workshops in the main city, with at least ten resident weapon-refining masters.
The No. [-] Weapon Refining Workshop in the main city is the earliest Weapon Refining Workshop, and it is also the workshop with the best service and the strongest Weapon Refining ability.
When Gu Zhou walked into the workshop, it was already overcrowded. Not only were players queuing up for weapon refining services, but many territorial NPCs also came here to strengthen their equipment.
"Lone boat!"
"It's Mr. Guzhou!"
"Give way to the boss!"
Gu Zhou is usually taciturn and does not have a strong sense of presence, but his strength is the top among the Scourge Army, so he is quite famous among the army.
"Xiaozhou! You're here to refine weapons too!" A bold and rough voice sounded in his ears, and a bald man wearing luxurious armor and carrying a ferocious giant hammer appeared in front of him.
It was none other than the famous Corps Commander Ye Limeng!
Gu Zhou: "Thank you Boss Ye for sending a special car to pick me up. I'm sitting in the car right now. I have nothing to do anyway. Why not use this time to upgrade my equipment."
"Hahaha, I've arrived at the Magic City in advance. Let's have a good encounter tonight!"
Ye Limeng held Guzhou in high regard. After all, Guzhou and Kuangdao Laowang were the two most powerful members of the War Temple Corps, and they would definitely become the backbone of the regiment in the future.
Gu Zhou glanced at the weapon refining workshop.
He couldn't help but frown: "Isn't Chief Yan Ling here?"
Yan Ling, the chief weapon refiner of Luoshui City, is the best weapon refiner in the territory and the first to appear at the third level of senior weapon refiner. However, she did not appear at her post at this moment.
Ye Limeng said: "Yan Ling asked for leave."
asked for leave?
This is really strange!
Yan Ling is a well-known workaholic.
This is when the demand for weapon refining is high.
How could she ask for leave at this time with her personality?
Ye Limeng continued: "She seems to have encountered some refining problems, so she took leave to return to Shengcang City to seek help from the dean of the refining academy. It is estimated that she will not be back until tomorrow."
Gu Zhou sighed: "That's such a pity. I'd better come back tomorrow!"
"do not!"
Gu Zhou only saw a rat man with gray fur, only 1.4 meters tall, four eyes and four ears who looked very shrewd and cunning stood up.
This person is no one else.
It was Peak, the weapon refiner of the Double-faced Rat Clan.
Behind him was a rock man who was more than two meters tall and had two horns. This was Yan Mu from the Flaming Horn Stone Clan.
"Yanmu and I can also provide the same service. After all, we are both senior weapon refiners in Luoshui City!" Pique doesn't want to miss out on big customers. The income of the territory's employees is currently divided into two parts. The first part is the bonus based on the total performance of the workshop. , the other part is the proportion of the individual's performance.
Generally speaking, commission still accounts for the majority.
Gu Zhou looked suspicious: "Can you do it?"
Pique was not angry but explained: "Although our abilities alone are a bit different from Chief Yan Ling, the two of us combined are no worse than Chief Yan Ling!"
Ye Limeng laughed and said: "Pi Ke is already a third-level intermediate weapon refiner who can forge third-level equipment, and Yanmu is a second-level advanced weapon refiner who can forge blue equipment. The two of them worked together to create third-level blue equipment. It’s not a big problem, I think you can give it a try.”
Both Pique and Yanmu showed gratitude to Ye Limeng.
The two were weapon refiners born at the bottom of Shengcang City. Luoshui City gave them the opportunity to change their lives against the odds, so they both cherished this job and hoped to make greater contributions to the territory.
Yan Ling is not the only one who is a territorial weapon refiner.
Recently, he was promoted by the lord.
They also received a very huge boost.
Although the current level of ability is a little worse than that of Yan Ling, it is not much inferior if they join forces.
Ye Limeng estimated.
It won't take a few days.
As more and more players reach level three.
They will be directly trained by the lord to become third-level advanced weapon refiners like Yan Ling, and then they can go to several other weapon refiners in Luoshui City as store managers, or be sent to places like Xinwan to be the local chief weapon refiners. .
now.
The reason why they are not famous.
The main reason is the lack of an opportunity to perform.
As the leader of a corps, Ye Limeng naturally wants to have a good relationship with these NPCs. In the future, the corps will need special refining needs, and having this kind of friendship will make it easier to deal with them.
Guzhou hesitated for a moment.
Finally decided to give it a try.
He took out his sword.
[Scarlet Bloodstained Sword +8], second-level equipment, green top grade, attack +125, agility +20, strength +10, attack speed +20, attached skill scarlet curse, durability 50/50.
"Good weapon!"
Pi Ke and Yan Mu held the blood-stained sword and praised it.
Although it is a good weapon, it is no longer suitable for the current Guzhou. He needs a higher-level weapon to exert his full strength.
Guzhou took out various gem materials and forging crystals that he had prepared for this enhancement.
Pi Ke and Yan Mu felt their eyes light up.
Why do they like to serve this kind of customers?The main reason is that this kind of customer service is not only a wealthy person, but also has a lot of material resources in hand, giving them more room to play and the difficulty will be greatly reduced!
The two of them were in no hurry to get started.
This weapon refining is very important.
It has a very important impact on your career!
Guzhou has a great reputation among the Scourge Legion. If he can build a powerful weapon for him, it will be equivalent to creating a living brand for himself, and his reputation will naturally spread.
In this way, you can receive more big orders!
The two went through some research and discussion.
Finally came up with a plan.
Peake said: "The key to this weapon enhancement lies in the use of gem materials. Gem materials can be used to improve or break through the quality of equipment, and can also be used to give equipment new capabilities."
"Your Excellency Gu Zhou has brought you a wide variety of gem materials. Among them, the Thousand-Legged Demonic Dragon Gem and the Three-Headed Evil Dragon Gem are extremely precious gems, but we do not recommend that you use these gems for this weapon."
Yanmu nodded: "Yes!"
Gu Zhou asked: "Why?"
Peake explained: "This bloodstained sword has very excellent curse characteristics. If you want to further strengthen its specialties, you can only achieve the goal by using gems with similar properties. Only in this way can you have a greater chance of generating additional skills."
Yanmu nodded: "That's right!"
Guzhou asked: "What will happen if other gems are used?"
Peake replied: "Doing so may completely change the characteristics of the weapon. Although it may not necessarily become worse, there is too much uncertainty."
Yanmu nodded again.
There are obviously more ways to refine equipment than imagined.
Using different materials to strengthen and break through can achieve different effects.
Nowadays, players collect too little information and data, so they can only try their luck in many cases. The advice of the weapon refiner is particularly important.
After Guzhou learned more about it.
Finally agreed to the plan proposed by the two men.
Pique said: "Then let's get started!"
After the two of them were ready.
First take out the Evil Fallen Gem to strengthen the weapon.
Evil Fallen Gemstones are a very common gem material and will be dropped by almost all Evil Fallen in the Abyss. However, the quality of the gems dropped by Evil Fallen at different levels is different.
Fallen gems generally do not have any additional properties and can be simply used to improve or break through the quality of equipment without worrying about changes in the nature of the weapon.
Among the evil gems brought by Guzhou.
There are three high-grade blue gems dropped from the demonized Zhang Xiu.
The Bloodstained Sword only consumed two of its qualities and succeeded in breaking through!
[Scarlet Bloodstained Sword +3], second-level equipment, low-grade blue, attack +130, agility +24, strength +12, attack speed +20, attached skill scarlet curse, durability 50/50.
Although the grade changes from green to blue.
But from the perspective of equipment attributes, the improvement does not seem to be significant.
However, the equipment level has changed from level 8 to level 3, which is enough to mean that the equipment has been greatly improved. At the same level, the attributes of blue equipment far exceed that of green quality equipment.
Quality breakthrough successful!
The two weapon refiners then joined forces to carry out a level breakthrough.
This time, a forging spiritual crystal obtained from the Xinwan mission was consumed.
This is a material far more precious than forging crystals. There are only a few among the entire player group, but the effect is immediate, and the breakthrough is successful in just one time.
[Scarlet Bloodstained Sword], third-level equipment, low-grade blue, attack +148, agility +50, strength +27, attack speed +30, attached skill scarlet curse, durability 70/70.
Although the level of equipment has dropped again.
This time it dropped directly from level 3 to level 0!
However, various attributes have been greatly enhanced compared to the original!
This piece of equipment has changed from the original second-level green high-grade to the third-level blue low-grade. The improvement is beyond imagination.
Because Gu Zhou has enough top-grade materials in his hands.
These two parts are actually not difficult. The most critical thing about refining this weapon is the subsequent refining.
Pique and Yanmu join forces.
Strengthen the quality of the Bloodstained Sword eight times in one breath.
These eight enhancements consume 3 Evil Infant left eye gems, 4 Evil Infant right eye gems, and 4 Death Curse gems respectively.
[Death Curse Bloodstained Sword], third-level equipment, blue mid-grade, attack +182, agility +70, strength +38, attack speed +50, normal damage to cursed targets +20%, critical hit to cursed targets Damage +100%, attached skills: Scarlet Curse, Evil Infant Curse, Death Curse, Durability 70/70.
When new weapon properties are revealed.
The entire weapon refining workshop burst into cheers.
Ye Limeng's eyes widened: "Third-skill weapon? Damn it! This is so awesome!"
The new weapon not only reaches the third-level blue mid-level quality, but also has explosive growth in attributes, and it also has three additional skills!
such equipment.
Unprecedented, unprecedented!
The skills attached to these three equipment are all curse skills.
Among them, the effect of the Scarlet Curse does not change much. This skill can be triggered with a probability during the process of causing damage to the enemy, thus adding a curse similar to "bleeding", which can cause the target to continuously and rapidly lose health.
The scarlet curse can be superimposed. The more times it is superimposed, the more severe the bleeding effect will be. If there is no targeted means to break it, it will eventually continue to bleed until death.
The Evil Infant Curse is triggered every time damage is caused to the target, and an Evil Infant Curse can be placed on the target. This curse has the effect of reducing the opponent's damage saving throw and various attributes.
The Evil Infant Curse can also be stacked, but there is a maximum time limit. When the Evil Infant Curse disappears, it will turn into a spiritual attack, causing damage to the target.
The last thing is the death curse.
This skill is very similar to Cao Ang's "Death Curse"!
Gu Zhou can launch a killing curse on the target marked by his own curse.
Once this skill is activated, it will absorb all the magic power on the opponent and turn it into a sure-hit slash with extremely high damage, ignoring defense and ignoring distance.
The more curses are stacked on the opponent.
The more powerful the death curse becomes.
All the players were shocked.
Gu Zhou's strength was originally ranked among the top ten or even top five in the Scourge Army. Now that he has such a cursed killing weapon, who dares to say that he can defeat him in the future?
Just be stabbed by this sword.
There is a high probability that you will be hit by the Scarlet Curse and the Evil Infant Curse.
Even if you don't die at the time, the curse will be very uncomfortable.
Even if you use some means to escape from the big boss, the opponent can directly launch a killing curse that ignores distance and is sure to hit. Even if you hide to the end of the world, you will inevitably be stabbed again.
terrible!
terror!
Gu Zhou was also very happy.
He didn't expect it to have such a good effect.
Finally, the remaining contribution points were spent to strengthen the sword to level 3.
The cost of strengthening the third-level blue equipment is too expensive.
Even Gu Zhou can only temporarily strengthen to this level. Next, if he wants to learn new skills at the Skill Tower or go to the Enlightenment Tower to learn new skills, he probably can only borrow certain contribution points from Ye Limeng.
Not enough money!
Contribution points are simply not enough!
There are a total of eleven pieces of equipment in the whole body.
Just one piece of equipment wiped out all my savings!
Guzhou couldn't wait anymore. He wanted to continue participating in the mission, fight for the territory through life and death again, and try the power of the new weapon by the way!
The two weapon refiners, Pi Ke and Yan Mu, also looked pleased.
The reputation of this deadly cursed bloodstained sword will surely spread.
It will become the signature work of the two in the next period of time. Although it cannot be compared with the Yellow Sky Demonic Dragon suit worn by Sister Yan Ling, it is more than enough to build a reputation.
Waiting alone is just the beginning!
The number of third-level masters in the Scourge Army is increasing rapidly.
The demand for breakthroughs or equipment upgrades like this will be huge.
This group of natural disaster elites will be like a lonely boat, their strength has greatly increased due to the improvement of equipment.
In fact, it is not just the Scourge Legion that has a large demand for weapon refining. With the territory's successful annexation of Xinwan, the number of third-level people has greatly increased, and many indigenous people also have this need.
It can be said.
To succeed.
Just around the corner!
The scene where Gu Zhou successfully forged a super powerful weapon.
Naturally, it also brought quite a shock and sensation to other players present!
Whether it is gem materials or forging stone materials, they can only be obtained from high-level monsters, rare monsters, and missions. You must dare to take risks to kill BOSS, or participate in large-scale missions.
Only in this way can top equipment be created!
Soon after.
Guzhou is offline.
He arrived in Magic City by plane.
As soon as I landed, I was arranged by the airport pick-up staff to take a special car and successfully arrived at the location of this offline exchange conference.
The official did not want to keep a low profile. The event was held in a five-star hotel in the bustling area of Shanghai. Various media reporters with long guns and short guns had already heard the news and were reporting on this unique exchange meeting. .
on the forum.
Various live broadcast posts are also flooding the screen.
After all, from the perspective of offline activities of a game.
This can be said to be an unprecedented high-level event, no less than the luxurious annual meetings of some top companies or summit meetings in various fields.
For cloud players.
Neither is the secret of the game itself.
It’s still the gossip of these closed beta bosses.
For them, it is a topic worth being curious about and even talking about.
(PS: This chapter is an extra chapter, and tonight’s normal update may be a little later. Last night, about the first ten chapters were suddenly blocked. It’s really tiring to see such an incident during the recommendation period!)
