Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 445 Harvest from the Dark Soul World

【Ding! 】

[Dark Souls 3 main quest: Replace "Nameless Ashes" and complete Ashes' mission. Completed. Please claim your reward in the quest section.]

【Please note. 】

[Your remaining time in this world is: 2:53:44. Please select a destination before the countdown ends, otherwise you will be sent to the new world by default. ]

[Optional destinations: 1. Basic world "Biochemistry Integration"; 2. The next main world. ]

After taking a look at the system prompt that popped up, Li You ignored it expressionlessly.

No hurries.

At this moment, he was sitting on the top of the throne room of the two princes at the top of Lothric City, leaning against the decorative spire, with a small table next to him, on which were placed endless wine jugs and ox horn cups.

Li You just sat there, looking at the distant coast and drinking wine silently.

On the other side of the small table, V was holding another wine glass and also gazing into the distance, but she was looking at the magnificent city of Lothric.

Aggie didn't like drinking very much, so she just sat under another spire on the roof, playing with a white amulet in her hand, lost in thought.

Even Yuzu didn't make a fuss. He maintained his human form and climbed up the corner spire. He looked up at the sky, at the pilgrim butterflies flying high in the sky, and at the distant sun.

"The sun... seems to have become a little brighter."

After hearing Yuzi's thoughts, Li You raised his head slightly, looked at the sky with his head tilted, and then turned back.

“…Well, it’s a little brighter.”

V looked at him and said, "So, this is the effect of the First Flame being passed down?"

Li You picked up the ox horn cup and took a sip. Today, the wine in the endless wine pot was turbid wine, which tasted mellow and a little spicy. It was the favorite of his cheap brother Yi Xin, but Li You was not particularly fond of this kind of wine.

But now it doesn't matter what kind of wine.

After taking a sip, he replied, "It's a more superficial and obvious change. If the fire continues to weaken, everything in the world may gradually decay and lose its original appearance. Finally, in the darkness... Bang, everyone will be doomed."

The wine glass in Li You's hand shook and some wine spilled.

"But it is also possible that after the fire is extinguished, new life will be born, and the world will become completely different.

"The core of the world before our eyes is spiral development. This is true for history, life, and the world itself."

V thought about everything he had seen in this world and nodded: "Although I don't think I have the right to say this, but this is really a very twisted world."

Li You smiled and said, "That's true... But if it was a world where everyone lived and worked in peace, wouldn't it be a travel simulator? We wouldn't be here."

V nodded. "That's pretty boring indeed."

But Edge on the side suddenly said: "But it's better than a world without hope."

Li You and V looked towards her. Aggie did not raise her head, still looking at the Dusk Amulet in her hand. "Li You, what did you say, 'Everyone must die'?"

She spoke in broken Chinese and switched back to Chinese after she finished speaking: "I have traveled through so many different worlds and have seen a lot. Death is commonplace."

"But even if other worlds are full of contradictions, undercurrents, and human lives are worthless, they are not like this place... No matter which way you go, it will be hopeless."

Aiji clenched the exquisite silver-white amulet in his hand. This was the last thing that Sirius left behind. "It is mainly you, Li You, who are in contact with the people in this world. I am not that familiar with them."

"But... after such a difficult battle, what they want in the end is to complete their mission and then die?"

She shook her head. "...I can't understand it, and I can't accept it. Even Harlan was saved in the end thanks to our and everyone's efforts. But here..."

Aiji suddenly stopped talking. She walked along the roof, took Li You's wine glass, and drank it all.

Li You also felt a little sad.

In fact, he could understand Aggie's feelings. Not to mention her, even Li You himself found it unacceptable when he saw the endings of characters like Onion, Hillis, etc.

They were obviously good people, and I tried my best to help them, so why did they still die in the end?

Aggie was soft-hearted to begin with, and she always believed that after experiencing suffering, people should have a relatively happy ending. The fate of these people in the Dark Souls world was indeed a big shock to her.

Li You tried to persuade him, but Aiji just shook his head and stuffed the glass back into his hand: "...Don't persuade me, I understand the reason, but I just can't accept it."

Not to mention her, even the grapefruit on the top of the spire slid down and landed beside everyone: "I don't understand why either."

Although Yuzu has gradually gained more knowledge, her worldview remains essentially simple. Life should be the most important thing. If there is anything equally important, it may be companions.

Li You didn't say anything, because Youzi didn't want an answer. V shook his head and gently poured the remaining drink in his glass along the edge of the roof.

"Okay, don't worry about it. Anyway, at least we have completed what we need to do, and this world can continue. As for more, it is temporarily beyond our capabilities, so there is no point in thinking about it. Let's prepare to go to the next world."

Everyone had no objection to her words, and Aggie even added: "Then leave quickly... I don't like this world."

V took the wine flask and poured himself another glass: "Li You, is there anything else we need to do? Do you need to go back to the Fire Shrine?"

Li You shook his head: "The First Fire has been passed on, and the world has changed again. The Fire Transmission Shrine... is in a very special state now, so there is no need to go back."

V was a little surprised, but of course he didn't say anything more: "You have the final say."

Li You looked at the previous system prompts and his expression changed.

Since the beginning of the challenge to the Lords of Fire, there have been a lot of important messages, including achievement reminders, task completion reminders, and so on.

……

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, you have completed the main quest of Dark Soul 3 using the Ring of Darkness. A special reward has been issued to you. ]

[Mission Rewards: Companion Space Function Expansion; Special Area Unlock Qualifications. ]

……

The above is the system prompt that has not been confirmed. The various props of achievement rewards are pretty good. Compared with the bunch of fancy but useless things given by the boss in the early stage, these are valuable.

The first is the incarnation amulet. This has been used once when fighting the incarnation of the Fire King. It can be used twice and is very useful.

Then there are the two spells given by the God of Eating achievement, one miracle and one magic.

[Life-hunting sword: A modified version of the miracle used by Aldrich, the Devouring God, which allows the weapon to have the power to take the enemy's life. ]

[Dark Moon Arrow Rain: The magic used by Aldrich, the Devouring God, transforms into a Dark Moon Bow, which fires a rain of magic arrows. The rain of arrows will automatically chase the enemy, and the duration is determined by the user's magic power.]

[Note: When equipped with the Darkmoon Longbow and Moonlight Arrow, you can use the Darkmoon Longbow instead of the Magic Catalyst to cast spells, which can enhance the duration and power.]

These two spells are really useful, one sucks blood, and the other replicates the divine arrow rain.

When Li You saw the magic of Darkmoon Arrow Rain before, he was very excited and wanted to try it on the spot. But when he touched his backpack, he realized that he didn't have the Darkmoon Longbow!

The Darkmoon Longbow was made with Aldrich's soul, but the soul was eaten by the Ring of Darkness!

This made Li You regret so much that he beat his chest and stamped his feet... That's why his attitude was not very good when he first saw the ashes.

Give me back the Darkmoon Longbow!

Unfortunately, until the end, the ashes did not spit out the souls of the four Cinder Kings...

As for the rewards for the street dance team, they are also quite impressive.

[Undying Army: A sacrificial item. After burning, the user's army will gain temporary immortality, with a maximum of 1,000 soldiers. During the period when the sacrifice is effective, the killed warriors can be resurrected in a short period of time, but if they are resurrected too many times, they may lose their humanity and become crazy. The effect lasts until the end of the battle.]

Li You looked at it and exclaimed, "Wow!"

Although it is a disposable prop, once it is burned, it will immediately create an undead army!
However, Li You looked at it carefully again and found that there were actually quite a lot of traps in it.

It can only bring immortality to the army, without any other enhancements. The army's combat effectiveness, loyalty, etc. all depend on Li You's own ability.

So if we take two extreme examples, he only has a group of farmers under his command, who can't fight at all and will collapse after being killed once or twice, then it would be a waste to burn this thing. Or, the loyalty of the army is extremely worrying, and when the sacrifice is burned, they will directly turn around and besiege Li You, which would be quite fun.

Of course, this thing would be good if it was paired with the Night Demon Army, but the Night Demon Army relies more on numbers. Li You would feel bad if he really burned this on them.

So Li You thought about it and felt that although this thing looked intimidating, it might not be very useful?
After all, he wasn't a player from a certain company who should be shot. He had never played any other Paradox games except Stellaris, and he felt that he still had some humanity... Ahem! What he meant was that he probably wouldn't travel through time and space to a game with a war background.

Further down.

The Dharma Amulet given by the Giant King Youm.

[Dharma Amulet (upgradable): It can give the wearer the ability to change the size of the weapons and equipment used by the wearer, and its weight, strength and other attributes will also change accordingly. 】

Yum's achievement only gave this one item, which looks ordinary.

Doesn't this mean that your equipment can be made to look like the Hulk's pants? Even if it gets bigger, it won't get torn?

However, Li You studied it carefully and soon discovered that this item also had the upgraded effects attached to the back.

If the upgrade is completed, the item description will include not only the change in size but also the word "form".

What do you mean?
What this means is that, with this amulet, when Li Youlong transforms into a human, those wearable equipment will also change accordingly and play a role!

He was really jealous of the effect.

Unfortunately, the upgrade conditions have not been unlocked yet, so this amulet is useless to Li You. It would be a good idea to give it to Yuzu, so that he can wear the strongest molten iron dragon hunting armor when switching between human form and tyrant form.

Next is the reward for the two princes, a twin prince's greatsword and a holy crown.

Not to mention the Twin Prince Greatsword, it is the product of the fusion of Lorian's Smoky Greatsword and Lothric's Platinum Holy Sword. The combat skills combine the characteristics of the two swords. It takes at least two rounds of the game to obtain it, but the achievement was given to him directly.

But the problem is still the same, Li You doesn't need so many weapons...

But now, there is a new way to solve this problem - let’s talk about the Holy Crown first.

[Holy Crown: The Holy Crown belongs to the royal family of Lothric. When worn, one will be naturally dignified and will be respected by others in both the religious and royal fields. (Optional design)]

Although he was not very interested in this prop, Li You still chose the style of Lorian's Flame Crown - the other real crown belonging to Lothric was particularly large and complicated, and looked heavy, which Li You did not like at all.

After choosing, he stuffed the item into his backpack. It was a faith item. Let's see if it can be used later... maybe I can send it back to Lai Xuan?

Then there is the achievement reward for the Incarnation of the Lord of Fire, which was just unlocked not long ago, a miracle of the Sunshine Spear and a set of Fire Transmission Armor.

The Spear of Sunlight, the most powerful miracle of thunder and lightning in the Dark Souls worldview, records the legend of the battle between Gwyn, the King of Sunlight, and the ancient dragons. It is also a magical skill that only Gwyn can master.

Even Gwyn's eldest son, the Nameless King, used a weakened version of the Thunder Lance - the miracle that Ashes had used before.

This is certainly a good thing, Li You put the scroll away.

The Fire Armor, as the name suggests, is the melted knight armor on the incarnation of the Fire King, but with an additional special effect: using the remaining fire when wearing it can greatly enhance the user's vitality, energy, endurance and other attributes, and gain high fire resistance, and also add the power of fire when attacking, but this will also consume the power of the remaining fire. When the remaining fire is burned out, the gain effect will be lifted.

Because it was melted and deformed by the burning, the defense of the Fire Armor itself is actually average, but this special effect makes it still useful.

As for the original wedge-shaped stone that was given to him, Li You naturally put it directly into his bag.

In the end, only the rewards for the main quest and the special rewards brought by the Dark Ring are left, which Li You has not confirmed yet.

Needless to say, the main quest gave him an overall attribute improvement and backpack space, but there was also a piece of world fragment. It had been a long time since he had obtained a new one, so Li You was quite satisfied with it.

In addition, there is the thing called "Dark Ring Fragment"...

[Fragment of the Ring of Darkness: It can grant the user an incomplete immortal body. After use, the user can be resurrected once upon death, but will lose all memories and most of their humanity, with a high probability of becoming a zombie.]

Li You: "6."

Losing all memories and having a high chance of turning into a zombie, what's the point of resurrecting? Just die peacefully.

However, when he saw this prop, Li You remembered another thing that had been lying in his backpack for a long time. He had obtained it in the Sekiro world, and it was also the beginning of the Sekiro story.

The Dragon's Blood Crystal contains the incomplete power of Dragon's Blood, which is actually the immortality of the Sakura Dragon.

In the past, because the resentment in the Sakura Dragon Crystal had always been unstable, Li You had never thought of taking out the crystal to perfect it, but now... maybe he could study it together with the fragments of the Ring of Darkness?
"Well... you can explore it a bit."

At this point, the various items obtained through achievements and tasks have been counted. As for the special rewards given by the Dark Ring, they are not substantial items.

【Ding! 】

[The companion space function has been expanded, and the "Firework Shrine" special map has been unlocked. 】

[Please note that due to the unlocking of the special map, the Firelink Shrine in this world has become a semi-independent space, and the flow of time in it will be calculated separately from the Dark Souls 3 world, so the personnel in the Firelink Shrine will remain the same. 】

[You can enter the Firelink Shrine through the companion space in the future, but you cannot go to other areas of the Dark Souls 3 world through the shrine, and the people in the Firelink Shrine cannot leave with you. ]

[The transaction methods of maids, blacksmiths, merchants, etc. will be automatically converted according to different world backgrounds. 】

【Ding! 】

[You have obtained the qualification to unlock the special area. Using three world fragments, you can unlock the teleportation function of the special area of ​​the Dark Soul world. 】

——This is why Li You said that there is no need to return to the Fire Sacrifice Site.

To put it simply, this special reward turns the Firelink Shrine directly into his camp, so he can go back whenever he wants.

Li You said, is there such a good thing?
He had already seen that the companion space was still the original environment, but there was a burning campfire in the center. As long as he touched the spiral sword in it, he could switch the camp to a fire sacrifice site.

As a reward, this is indeed worth all the effort he has put in before.

As for the qualification to unlock the special area, Li You reasonably guessed that it would allow him to enter the DLC world? However, it would cost three world fragments, which was really ridiculously expensive. Li You had no idea at the moment.

At this point, all system rewards have been counted, and those that have been received before and those that have been recently obtained have all been sorted out.

Yuzu, Edge and V, who were standing by, were not surprised when they saw Li You constantly producing gadgets they had never seen before, as they had long been used to it.

However, when Li You exhaled and then drew out a spiral sword, they were all stunned.

“Li You, isn’t this…?” V’s eyes looked a little strange.

Facing V's eyes, Li You almost laughed out of anger.

What's that look in your eyes? Are you thinking that I just picked up the Spiral Sword from the Firelink Shrine, and that's why you don't want to go back?
...That’s exactly what V thought.

Li You was too lazy to argue with her and shook his head.

"This is a gift from another friend."

[The Fire Sword: The sword used by the incarnations of the Fire Lords who inherited the original fire is made from the fragments of the spiral sword burning in the original fire, and has great potential.]

[Weapon Features: Gather firewood. Stab the sword into the ground to ignite the flames, and you can throw the weapon with special power into the fire as firewood. The sword will gain some of the power of the weapon as firewood, and you can also unlock the corresponding form.]

[Unlocked forms: Longsword, Scimitar, Staff, Spear. ]
