Soul Palace No. 1 Player

Chapter 11: Following the Fire to Warm the First Trench

In Yang Shan’s opinion, if he wanted to get his hands on the opportunity to become “Alchemist Qin Wu”, it would be best to first upgrade his level to Fighting Master.

Because the place where this opportunity is located is inhabited by a large number of second-level elite magical beasts, Iron Rats!

The Iron Rat is different from the Barbarian Bull in that it is an active attacking monster.

Whenever the Iron Rat detects any player or NPC, it may take the initiative to attack.

Moreover, Iron Rats often do not act alone, but often appear in a group.

If a fighter-level player is besieged by seven or eight iron rats, he won’t even have a chance to escape!
Even if Yang Shan now possesses the advanced golden skills of the yellow grade, he would not be able to cope with so many iron rats.

After all, the Iron Rat is, to some extent, more difficult to deal with than the Wild Bull.

Yang Shan's leveling on the prairie went relatively smoothly.

With sufficiently powerful skills and weapons, plus extensive combat experience, Yang Shan successfully became an eight-star fighter!
It's just that his luck today seemed to have run out, and Yang Shan didn't produce any more earth attribute magic cores.

When he was tired and his fighting spirit was exhausted, Yang Shan would stop to rest.

While recovering his fighting spirit, Yang Shan would also open the forum to check out the current discussions among players.

After three years of gaming experience, my memory of the several versions that were released has indeed become blurred.

Maybe you will accidentally come across some news that will bring back related memories.

There are many hot topics for discussion on the forum.

Apart from topics related to "Yang Shan", the most discussed topics are about guilds and the gaming experience after the server launch.

The immersive protagonist experience in the Novice Secret Realm has been recognized by most players.

After leaving the Novice Secret Realm, the attitudes of various NPCs also make players feel comfortable.

Leveling is also quite comfortable.

At the fighter level, Tianyao has specially designed many types of monsters for players.

What jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, rats, birds?
The attack settings of these first-level monsters are actually based on third-level or even fourth-level monsters.

However, the AI ​​of these monsters is relatively low, and they do not have the ability to use fighting spirit.

Of course, in terms of attack, although the attack of a first-level ordinary monster can break the defense of a fighter player, the damage is really limited.

Even if a player has little fighting experience, as long as he is willing to take action and pay a certain amount of blood loss, he can always kill the monster.

At this stage, Tianyao wants to give players the following combat experience:

It's difficult and very hard.

But after the victory, the sense of accomplishment is also very high.

At this stage, players have actually gradually become familiar with the highly liberal combat system of Doupo.

If some experience treasures are really prepared for players, Tianyao is also worried that after reaching the level of Fighter and Grand Fighter, players will become vulnerable in front of powerful monsters, thus triggering a wave of quitting the game.

As for guilds, most of the high-paying recruitment posts that Yang Shan saw were unfamiliar to him.

After all, Doupo has just been launched, and many large guilds that have been working hard in other online games, as well as many wealthy people who spend money like water, are still in the trial stage.

Just as Yang Shan was browsing the forum, a group of players came from the south.

The young man in the lead was saying:

"Bull bones can make breasts bigger. Who made up this story?"

The skinny player nearby sneered:

"Master Wang, no matter how you make it up, we just need to get the stuff and bring it back to Elder Pang Yan. We'll wait until Master Wang improves his favorability, hehehehe"

Wang Shao touched his chin:

"The feeling of picking up girls in the game is a little different. In real life, those money-hungry, vulgar girls, as soon as I check my bank card balance, immediately act like bitches in heat and take the initiative to book a room. It's not interesting at all."

At this point, Wang Shao added:
"The artists at Tianyao Company are quite talented. I've played with so many women, but none of them are as good as Pang Yan in terms of figure!"

The thin player next to him pointed in Yang Shan's direction:

"Master Wang, there are other players over there!"

Wang Shao took a look at the wild bull on the grassland.

It's not a lot if you just look at it here and there.

Wang Shao waved his hand:

"Small trick, old rules."

"Got it!"

Xiao Ji quickly ran towards Yang Shan.

"Hey! That one over there! That one over there!"

Yang Shan closed the forum and looked back.

Then I saw a tall and thin player holding a knife, walking towards me with a rogue look on his face:

"Friend, let's level up somewhere else."

Yang Shan asked with interest:

"Hey, occupying the land and grabbing monsters?"

Xiaoji pointed behind him:
"See? There are more than 20 of us here, my friend, you'd better be more discerning!"

Yang Shan paused:
"Are you sure I'm blind?"

When playing games, fighting for resources is the main theme.

This is especially serious in Doupo.

Yang Shan is not a coward!
Just relying on the refined cold knife in his hand.

Who comes and who dies!

The tall and thin player Xiaoji got angry and said:
"Oh, you're still stubborn. I actually don't mind sending you back to the city for free!"

Xiao Ji doesn't know that he is committing suicide now.

Maybe he really has poor eyesight.

I didn't even notice that the knife in Yang Shan's hand was obviously different from the standard equipment sold in the system store.

For a moment, the situation was tense.

Yang Shan was already preparing to send Xiao Ji back to the city.

But at this moment, Wang Shao came over with his twenty or so younger brothers, looking very proud and confident:

"Xiao Ji, why haven't you finished it yet?"

Xiaoji immediately answered:

"Master Wang, I'm going to hang him up right now!"

Wang Shao glanced at the exquisite cold knife in Yang Shan's hand and said in a reprimand:

"What are you doing? I've told you so many times to be polite to other players! Don't bring your old temper to Doupo!"

Xiaoji was stunned at the time:
"what?"

What Wang Shao said before was the "old rules", why did he suddenly change his mind?

Wang Shao is actually quite young and not bad looking. Compared to Xiao Ji, Wang Shao seems to be quite polite:
"My friend, are you leveling up here?"

Yang Shan didn't answer, but just nodded slightly.

Wang Shao said politely:
"To be honest, I have a mission that requires me to swipe a large number of barbaric bulls. So, I'll give you a thousand dollars. Can you move to another place?"

No matter what, Wang Shao's attitude is much better than Xiao Ji's!
Although Wang Shao’s actual purpose is also to occupy land, he is not trying to “steal monsters”!
Instead, he gave her one thousand RMB as a gift!

This is the generosity that a boss should have.

If it were an ordinary player, he would have taken the money and gone offline to the nearest bathing center.

Go up to the second floor and have a deluxe meal for 688!
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Yang Shan kindly reminded him:
"It's not that I won't allow you to do that. It's just that the level of the monsters here is relatively high. You can't kill them. If you go back to the city and lose experience, it's not worth it."

Before Wang Shao could answer, Xiao Ji at the side could not help but:
"I'm eating lemons, who are you looking down on?"

Xiaoji pointed at his nose:
"Do you know who I am? I'm Shunhuo Nuan's number one dream breaker, the master of operation! What's the problem with me not being able to clear it?"

Xiao Ji was also preparing to "report" to Yang Shanduo about his prominent position in another game.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shao kicked him:

"Boohoo! Did I say anything?"

Xiaoji quickly apologized:

"Master Wang, I don't mean to look down on others, Master Wang."

"Shut up! Get out of the way!"

Wang Shao adjusted his collar out of habit and kept smiling:
"My friend, you don't have to mind my ignorance. I don't just want to level up here. I'm also a little interested in your weapon."

At this time, Wang Shao finally revealed his actual purpose!

In fact, Wang Shao had already made up his mind when he saw the knife in Yang Shan's hand.

It is obvious that Yang Shan has no companions.

Let me ask, at this stage, how many players can solo a second-level elite monster?

There is no server-wide announcement for the No. 1 Fighter yet.

That means that all players in the server are now at the fighter level.

Then how could Yang Shan defeat a second-level elite monster alone?

Isn't it obvious that the weapon in his hand is not ordinary?

Young Master Wang is not as blind as Xiao Ji!
Yang Shan suddenly realized.

I thought it was just a place to level up.

I didn't expect that he was still planning to get the Essence Cold Blade.

Yang Shan: "Sorry, this knife is not for sale."

"Oh, my friend, you don't have to be so decisive."

Wang Shao seemed very confident:

"I'm not selling it because the money is not enough. So, I'll pay this much!"

Wang Shao stretched out a finger.

Yang Shan: "Ten thousand?"

Wang Shao almost laughed out loud and signaled Xiao Ji beside him with his eyes.

Xiao Ji was obviously a conspicuous person. He would not let go of the opportunity to speak and immediately shouted:
"Boy, you can even say 10,000, you underestimate Young Master Wang! You know Shun Huonuan, right? Go ask around, our Young Master Wang is the richest man in Shun Huonuan, Wang Tianhao!"

Shunhuo Nuan, a place known as "where breathing costs money"!

Relying on exquisite graphics and crappy operations, it has reaped the benefits of a large number of players.

As an online game where you can become stronger by spending money, becoming the "richest man" in Shunhuo Nuan requires more than just one or two million.

It costs tens of millions to get started!

However, after the public beta trailer of Tianyao's "Fights Break Sphere" was released, Shunhuo Nuan's players had already left in large numbers, and it was even announced to be shut down half a month ago.

Yang Shan thought to himself:

"So he's a rich guy from another game."

Yang Shan had seen too many players like Wang Tianhao before his rebirth.

Players who spend more money can indeed get a better gaming experience in "Fights Break Sphere".

But that's about it.

In "Fights Break Sphere", the improvement that can be obtained simply by relying on RMB is limited.

The most intuitive point is that "Fights Break Sphere" does not sell numbers!
Everything needs to be obtained by the players themselves.

The player base of Doupo is too large.

The monthly cards, clothing and transaction fees alone are enough for Tianyao Company to make a fortune.

A game that makes money by selling stats through in-game currency can never be a good game!
Tianyao Company would never do something that would damage its reputation.

Wang Tianhao did not lower his raised finger:
"Friend, how do you feel about buying your knife for 100,000 yuan?"

Yang Shan finally figured it out.

This Wang Tianhao still continues the thinking mode he used when playing Shunhuo Nuan.

Pity.

One hundred thousand yuan can buy Shunhuo Nuan's top-level magic equipment.

But he couldn't buy the high-quality weapon in Yang Shan's hand, which was destined to be everywhere in the future.

Yang Shan also said politely:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang."

Wang Shao frowned:
"One hundred thousand, is that too low?"

Yang Shan answered hypocritically:

"The main thing is that I am not interested in money."

Hearing this, Wang Tianhao sneered and laughed in his heart:

"Pretend, you must use a sack to pretend, right?"

Yang Shan's attitude actually made Wang Tianhao interested:
"There is no one in this world who doesn't like money. Since 100,000 is not enough, then 200,000!"

Yang Shan shook his head.

Wang Tianhao's expression froze:
"Half a million!"

Yang Shan shook his head.

Wang Tianhao's voice became louder:

"one million!"

Yang Shan grinned:
"Okay, deal!"

Wang Tianhao: “.”
