Chapter 649 Western Regions
"Senior is wrong."

Zuo Yang smiled modestly, and then brought the topic directly into the main topic, "Now the junior has successfully broken through the first floor, so it's not too late, so let's trouble the senior to teach me the breakthrough method after that?"

"It's natural."

Qiao Beiming didn't pretend to be false with him, nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, the breakthrough methods of the second, third, fourth and fifth floors are actually the same, but the details are slightly different. It’s just a difference, but if you want to complete the breakthrough of these layers, you may have to suffer a lot, and even risk your life.”

"There is no such thing as martial arts that can be accomplished overnight. The juniors have already made mental preparations, but the seniors just say it's okay."

Zuo Yang cupped his hands and said.

"Okay! What I want is your attitude!"

Qiao Beiming laughed with satisfaction, patted his shoulder, but his expression gradually became serious, and he said very seriously, "Listen carefully, the next two, three, four, and five layers are all inside the body. In the process of accumulating cold poison, each layer needs to take a large amount of cold medicine to assist in cultivation, so that the cold poison exists in your meridians and inner strength, so that the cold poison can be achieved when performing [Sura Yin Sha Gong] Give and take."

"The younger generation understands, but they don't know what these medicines are? Are they some precious medicinal materials?"

Zuo Yang asked immediately, but in his heart he was a little bit critical of the word "large number" in Qiao Beiming's words. What kind of number is this "large number"?Is it possible to find a way to buy medicines through Saibei Shen Wansan?

Although Zuo Yang is not short of money now, as a child who grew up in a ravine, he still maintains the habit of being diligent and thrifty in housekeeping until today. He never spends the money he can not spend. He has never caught a cold, not to mention that the manufacturing level of domestic products is not bad at all, especially after the "real-name authentication" of the US president called "Special Unreasonable" more than ten years ago, many domestic products are sold in the world. Awareness has also been greatly improved. At present, domestic products are also imported famous brands for many countries in the world.

It’s a little bit far-fetched, in fact, Zuo Yang just doesn’t want to spend all the money he has earned in his pocket, playing games, if he becomes a soft girl coin fighter, the difficulty of the game will be greatly reduced. When there are challenges, it will naturally become less interesting.

"Prestige is not considered expensive, but these medicines are not produced in the Central Plains, and there is no chamber of commerce or caravan in the Central Plains to operate such businesses, so if you want to get these kinds of medicines, you can only venture into the Western Regions Find it yourself."

Qiao Beiming shook his head and continued, "You may have never been to the Western Regions, and you don't know the dangers of the Western Regions, but I can tell you responsibly that the masters of the Central Plains martial arts went to such places. If you are fully prepared, it is very possible that you have lost your life due to some inexplicable reasons without encountering any enemies."

"An inexplicable reason?"

Zuo Yang said he didn't understand. Could it be that there are ghosts in the Western Regions?
"Natural disasters such as food, drinking water, miasma, climate, day and night, wild animals, etc. The environment in the Western Regions is extremely harsh. Anyone who goes to that kind of place will first face the biggest problem of survival. Only by trying to survive can they be qualified. Go and think about the rest!"

Qiao Beiming said convincingly, "I stayed in the Western Regions for three years. Although I benefited a lot during those three years, in retrospect, every day in the Western Regions was like a nightmare. I didn't even sleep a full night. , even if the strength of the old man is already able to walk sideways in the Western Regions, if the old man is allowed to go back, the old man is still reluctant."

"Uh...a natural disaster?"

Zuo Yang was even more confused when he heard this. He has been playing this game for so long, and he dared to say that as long as he is ranked second, no one is qualified to be the first.

But it was the first time Zuo Yang heard what Qiao Beiming said now. Could it be that the Western Regions and the Central Plains are two completely different worlds?

The day and night system is easier to understand, because the Central Plains also has a so-called "day and night system". This system was launched when the first version of the game was updated. At night, in addition to the safe areas of the main cities, a group of masked killers will be refreshed in the game to wander around. Once they encounter players, they will chase and kill them. The skill level of this masked killer is not low, and even if players If you have the strength to kill it back, the experience points and rewards you will get are very few.

Therefore, the main function of this system is actually to limit the activities of players at night, so that players will not spend the whole night desperately trying to level up... After all, this holographic game is still somewhat different from the previous computer games. Direct access to the game with consciousness, if it lasts too long, it is likely to induce some health problems.

As for those other things, Zuo Yang couldn't quite understand them.

Why are there still problems with food and drinking water?

After playing the game for so long, he has never considered this issue, okay?As long as there is no such setting in this game, players can just do their own thing after entering the game. Is it possible that they have to start a fire and cook something?

And miasma, climate, beasts...

Various doubts arose in Zuo Yang's mind, but apart from doubts, he also understood the principle of making enough food and clothing by himself, and subconsciously opened the game's built-in forum to search for relevant content about the Western Regions.

In fact, Zuo Yang had already noticed before that there were some strategy posts about the Western Regions on the forum.

It's just that he has never considered going to the Western Regions, so every time he sees such a post, he just glances at the title, and then jumps over to check other posts he is interested in. It has never been serious. Have read the contents of it.

But right now, since the breakthrough of [Sura Yin Sha Gong] and the task of searching for the "Palace of Life and Death" have made him have to go to the Western Regions, then he has to understand it first, and it is the most intuitive and easiest The way to be understood by him is naturally the strategy posts sent by players who have been to the Western Regions.

Search for the word "Western Region" in the forum, and dozens of related posts immediately popped up.

There are only a few dozen articles. Given the huge player base of "Great Rivers and Lakes", this number is very small. It can be seen from this that the vast majority of players have not actually set foot in the Western Regions, and there may even be quite a few of them. The existence of the Western Regions may not even know.

Zuo Yang chose to sort by the popularity of the posts.

The most popular among them was a post also called "Experiences in the Western Regions". The person who posted it, Zuo Yang, happened to know him. He was lying in his friends column at the moment, and his name was "Mr. Conch".

This guy is a forum moderator. When Zuo Yang got acquainted with this guy, he wondered if he could be counted as "someone above him".

However, the two of them seldom contacted each other afterwards, mainly because Zuo Yang Shenlong could not see the end, and there was no direct connection between the two.

I don’t know if this guy also has [Experiences of the Western Regions], so he gave this post such a name... But Zuo Yang quickly denied this idea. This should be some kind of coincidence, after all, his [ The word "unique" is clearly marked on the "Experiences of the Western Regions", which means that there is only one volume of his "Experiences of the Western Regions" in this game, and there is no other name.

Opening this post, there is a self-introduction of "Uncle Conch" at the top, followed by a screenshot of the game, and below the screenshot is an introduction about the content of the screenshot.

And when Zuo Yang saw this screenshot and the related introduction, he instantly understood what Qiao Beiming meant by "natural disaster".

original.

Once the player enters the Western Regions, it is really equivalent to entering another world, and this martial arts game instantly becomes a "survival" game.

At that time, several attributes will appear in the player's interface, these attributes are: hunger value, thirst value, poison value, cold value, disease value, fatigue value, etc.

According to "Mr. Conch"'s very few posts, these attributes are the kind of important attributes that are life-threatening in the Western Regions. If the extra attribute of the item reaches the full value, it will be fatal.

For example, if the hunger value reaches 100 full points, if you still don’t eat as soon as possible at this time, you will starve to death.

If you don't wear a coir raincoat or walk in the rain, your disease value will also increase rapidly. When the disease value reaches 100 points, you will die of disease.

If you are in a snowy mountain or a cold place, and you don’t wear cotton clothes to keep out the cold, so as to slow down the rising speed of the cold value, then it may not take a few minutes for your cold value to reach the full value, and then you will freeze to death again.

Among them, only the "fatigue value" will not die immediately when it reaches the full value, but at that time, you must rest in place, and you cannot use any martial arts during this period, and other values ​​​​will accelerate the accumulation speed... So, in the Western Regions, if you If you want to rush on the road overnight, it basically doesn't work. The best way is to stop and go and take care of your fatigue value.

In short.

Players must pay great attention to each of these attributes, and they need to make extremely sufficient preparations in advance, otherwise, as Qiao Beiming said, they will end up in a dead and inexplicable end... It can even be said that in places like the Western Regions, Sometimes luck is more important than strength?
Zuo Yang followed the post and looked down, only to realize that this guide by "Uncle Conch" is just an introductory post.

Because this guy didn't go deep into the Western Regions at all. He entered the map of the Western Regions five times before and after, and he didn't even go out for a distance of 100 miles. The same... Therefore, his post can only be used as a reference for preliminary preparations. Entering it still depends on the player's own disposal, especially for people like Zuo Yang who enter the Western Regions with a purpose, and at least have to go deep into the Western Regions for more than a thousand miles players, the reference value is even more limited.

However, at the end of the post, "Uncle Conch" also specially wrote the words "to be continued", saying that he will continue to explore the Western Regions in the future, and put some knowledge of the Western Regions in the post, making this post into a Continuing Topics.

"..."

Seeing that he couldn't find anything more useful here, Zuo Yang looked through other posts again.

Although the remaining posts have slightly different opinions from "Mr. Conch"'s interpretation of some details about the Western Regions, there is actually no more content than him.

Therefore, at this stage, it is obviously not feasible to obtain more information through the forum.

"Why, aren't you afraid already?"

Seeing that Zuo Yang hadn't spoken for a long time, Qiao Beiming asked with a smile.

This is not to ridicule or provoke Zuo Yang, but to ridicule, because Qiao Beiming knows that Zuo Yang is not a person who is afraid of taking risks. After all, Zuo Yang even dared to threaten and play with him, a big devil who was frightened by people in the world. What else is there that he dare not do?

"hey-hey."

Zuo Yang just smiled noncommittally, and said: "Senior, please explain the medicine you need. It would be even better if you can provide the specific location. I will make some preparations and leave as soon as possible."

"You don't need to say, the old man has already prepared it for you in advance, take it."

While talking, Qiao Beiming handed over a folded note.

"Thank you senior."

Zuo Yang took it and unfolded it for a look, and the content in the note immediately entered the task bar, which became his breakthrough task.

What is needed to break through the second floor is a herb called [Spring Gone], which can be found near a place called "Oakwood Peak".

What is needed to break through the third floor is a herb called [Prunella vulgaris], which can be collected around a place called "Jingsun Pool".

What is needed to break through the fourth layer is a medicinal herb called [Pulsatilla], which will only appear in a place called "Tenglong Mountain".

And what is needed to break through the fifth layer is a herb called [Buhuimu]. A place that Yang will definitely go to during this trip.

In addition, these medicinal herbs require quite a lot, each of which must take 100 copies to complete the breakthrough, that is to say, Zuo Yang may need to stay for a period of time in every place he goes to, searching patiently before he can collect them. To a sufficient number, this is a patient work.

As for the specific directions of these places, Qiao Beiming couldn't explain it clearly. After all, he hadn't set foot in the Western Regions for many years... But fortunately, Zuo Yang still has [Experienced Records of the Western Regions], which should be of great help.
