Can you become stronger without paying money?

"Goblins... Shock Troops?"

Riel murmured the term in a daze, and at the same time, there was a strange scream of "cheep chirp" from all directions, and only a dozen figures in silver armor were seen charging forward from the dense forest in all directions with strange screams. Come out and attack the giant bear's position!

The Sofia giant brown bear also knew that something was wrong. It shook and stood up and let out a roar from its throat. Accompanied by geometric patterns of navy blue and khaki light flashing, the giant bear's eyes were bloodshot and red, and its figure was even more swollen than before. lock up.

This is definitely a dangerous big move, but at this moment, the goblin who blocked Riel's attack at the beginning suddenly leaped from the forest wolf it was riding!

It put away the knight gun in its hand, and the thick tower shield was covered with a layer of faint white light. Just when the giant bear let out a roar, the tower shield that fell from the sky hit its head fiercely!

This blow knocked back all the giant bear's last half roar, and immediately, that huge body swayed twice, almost unable to stand still, and the light that originally enveloped it disappeared without a trace.

At the moment when the giant bear was unsteady, several figures in silver armor charged past. Before the giant bear could react, the sharp knight gun combined with its body and made a muffled sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh. The giant bear Its eyes widened to the limit in an instant, and it let out a painful cry from its mouth, and the raised bear's paw was swung down with wounded anger.

However, the goblins who succeeded in one blow immediately drove the wargs to scatter quickly. The moment the giant bear slapped it, the goblins who caught up in the back row caught it firmly with the tower shield in their hands!

We know that the effects of force are mutual. When the giant bear's full blow was caught, the huge feedback force returned to itself. Suddenly, a huge flaw appeared in the giant bear's movements.

The goblins who had been scattered before gathered quickly, and before the giant bear regained its balance, the sharp spear penetrated its body again...

This time, the giant bear's movements were completely frozen...

Riel stared blankly. The first goblin drove the wolf forward and shot the dead bear's head, completely ending this terrifying beast.

Immediately, these little green-skinned creatures all jumped off the worgs, put away their weapons, and lined up in front of Riel. While chirping strangely, they saluted Riel deeply.

Riel twitched his lips and looked at the Goblin Charge Horn in his hand, and couldn't help swallowing.

He finally found out, the second half of that famous saying...

... How can you become stronger without recharging money?

Isn't the second half of the sentence just to say...

... In front of RMB players, is there anything truly "strong"?

The previous worries about Sophia's giant brown bear seemed so ridiculous at this moment. The overlord of the Danquan Forest was killed so easily. Of course, what moved Riel even more was the little green-skinned guys. They had a clear division of labor. Neat, even the professionally trained cavalry among humans, I am afraid they can't do better than them.

Does the monster summoned by three-star premium consumables actually have this level of power?

Riel looked at the legendary equipment exchange coupon in his hand, and his eyes instantly became hot.

However, Riel quickly calmed down. After all, this thing can only be used for three days after exchange, so it is natural to use it carefully at this stage.

Why, why not just spend money and buy permanent legendary equipment?That's a good question, so let's take a look at the prices in the system mall.

In the mall, the cheapest legendary equipment produced is the "Mythical Equipment Box". To put it simply, after opening it, there is a certain chance of getting a lucky draw box for seven-star legendary equipment...

...Then what if the mythical equipment is not drawn?Answer, there are naturally other things in the lottery box, including five-star legendary equipment, but of course, they also only have a chance to appear.

In addition, there are a lot of... listen to me, "a lot" of sophisticated equipment and consumables mixed in...

How much does an equipment box cost?Answer, 35 system gold coins, you can get a discount if you buy ten at a time, the total is [-] system gold coins...

As for the probability of getting mythical equipment in the box?

Riel, who is the designer of the entire game lottery system, can tell you with a pat on his chest that the probability of winning the first prize is probably much higher than buying a lottery ticket.

What... a single draw?Hehe, child, have you ever heard of childcare?

Yes, there must be a miracle if there is a probability, but Ruier feels that it is not the time for him to use the coffin to fight for a miracle. The ratio of system gold coins to soft sister coins is 35:[-], [-] soft sister coins, a total of two hundred You can only draw five soft sister coins, and the delivery probability of a single draw is lower than that of ten consecutive draws. In case of a black face, it is not impossible to draw five bottles of excellent mixture.

So Riel, who calmed down, put away the exchange voucher and began to seriously think about a question...

...what should he do next.

First of all, since I met Sapphire in the Forest of Danquan, it means that the story of the game should have just begun.

That's right, that girl who had a relationship with Riel, Safiri Olom, is exactly the heroine designed in Riel's game...

……one.

A man... a boy in the second year of middle school...

...Who hasn't imagined a wonderful harem when he was young?Never imagined?Then I have a very serious conclusion to tell you, yes...you are a gay!

In short, Riel can almost memorize the plot of this game. Needless to say, he can clearly determine that if this world is the game he made, then Sapphire's appearance in the Forest of Danquan is [-]% the beginning of the game. That plot FLAG!

So now that the heroine is in place, what about the most important male protagonist?

Riel looked down at his hands and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Okay, now, Riel faces two choices. First, leave the forest of Danquan with the equipment on his body, find a human country to settle down at random, and rely on his understanding of the world besides freeing the plot with peace of mind. , It's not a problem to have a good and stable life.

Second...Join the plot, experience the plot of the entire game, and influence the future of the entire world!

Of course, Riel chose the second option without hesitation.

The reason is very simple. The first one is the emotional reason. When encountering such a thing, as a game maker, it would be abnormal if he could keep himself out of the characters and events created by himself.

The second reason is more realistic, that is, Riel does not know what kind of ending the plot will lead to if he does not participate in the plot.

…At the beginning, because of technical limitations, Riel made the game system itself very ordinary, without much innovation, so Riel made five endings in one go in order to increase the playability.

One of the common endings, one hidden ending, and one perfect true? ending.

You can ignore these things, the most important thing is... Riel also designed two BADENDs...

...This is damn damn, because Riel clearly remembered that one of the BADENDs went straight to the end of the destruction of the world.

Riel, who was still in the second year of middle school, still felt that the ending of the total destruction was a blockbuster. Now that I think about it, why did I want to be cheap for Mao? !

Now the problem is very serious, because Riel is not at all sure which line the world will go in the future. If you accidentally turn into BADEND, when the big flag of world destruction is inserted, you will be killed even if you lie down. Map cannon, I don't even know how I died.

In order not to have such tragic consequences, Ruier felt that adding full control of the plot should be able to effectively avoid this tragedy.

So, it's clear what to do, isn't it?

Immediately, Riel's eyes focused on the direction where Sapphire disappeared...

Chapter 4 Tanzania Monster

The Forest of Tanquan on the southern border of the Grand Duchy of Sofia, we can disassemble two keywords through the place name, "Danquan" and "Forest"...

There is nothing strange about the forest, because someone was too lazy to draw a map, but they couldn’t leave the map empty, so Riel chose to fill it with deserts and forests for all non-event areas, so theoretically this world is full of nameless places. forest……

And the other keyword "Danquan" is the biggest difference that distinguishes this forest from those unnamed forests. It is a pool of clear springs located in the middle of the forest... That's right, Rui Er was a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder patient.

Of course, it’s not a big deal if it’s just a pool of clear springs, but the spring water named Danquan is naturally different. It is said that the spring water of Danquan is a miracle blessed by the elves in ancient times. The spring water of Danquan has the ability to accelerate the recovery of magic power. Magical effect, under normal circumstances, the spring water of Danquan has exactly the same effect as the magic recovery potion of the same volume.

However, the spring water of Danquan has another characteristic, that is, once it leaves the location of Danquan, the spring water will lose its effectiveness after 24 hours and become ordinary spring water.

It is also for this reason that Danquan is just a spectacle...not a strategic location, otherwise, the existence of Danquan is enough to trigger a war by virtue of the fact that it can mass-produce magic recovery potions, but after 24 hours The magic recovery potion that will turn into water is really mediocre and not worth the effort.

Generally speaking, there are usually only two purposes for adventurers who come to Danquan. One is to see the magical Danquan. After all, as a famous spectacle in the whole continent, they do nothing just to come and take a look. There are people too, so let’s open our eyes. Don’t wonders exist only for people to appreciate their magnificence?

As for the second purpose, it is for another spectacle that is as famous as Danquan, which is the legend that has been circulating in the forest of Danquan - the water monster of Danquan...

It is a monster in the legend of Danquan Forest. Few people have actually seen its existence. Some people think it is some kind of rare monster, and some people think it is the guard left by the ancient elves who blessed Danquan Forest , in short, this monster is just like the Loch Ness Monster on Earth. Many people have seen it, but more people have never seen it. It is mysterious and powerful, but it is ambiguous whether it is real or not.

Every year, many adventurers looking for the Danquan water monster come here, some of them want to catch the water monster alive to make a name for themselves, some want to find out the prototype of this unknown creature for academic research, and some are purely curious. Come and see for yourself if the legend is true.

However, the girl who came here today did not come here for any of the above purposes...

Sapphire unfolded the map in her hand, and carefully avoided several dangerous areas marked on the map. They were all lairs occupied by powerful monsters in the Forest of Danquan, including the one who had just belched more than ten minutes ago. Sophia the giant brown bear.

Naturally, Sapphire doesn't know this, and there's no need to know. She just needs to know that although she can barely kill Sofia's giant brown bear with her strength, even so, there is no benefit. If this is the case, then the meaningless battle that can be avoided Naturally to avoid.

Her goal was not on a stupid bear who only digs out beehives all day long. When she arrived at the target place according to the map's instructions, when she looked up, a pool of clear spring hidden in the dense forest was imprinted in her eyes.

Under normal circumstances, the water source in the dense forest will never be clean. Falling dead branches and leaves, and wild monsters passing by drinking water will all become factors that pollute the water source. "Qingquan"...

The area of ​​Danquan is not small. It is not so much a spring as it is a small lake in the forest.

The lake water is very clean, and the spring water on the most surface layer is so clear that it seems to emit light. The open canopy of towering ancient trees around cuts the cast light into mottled and swaying light spots. The quiet spring water is reflected by the changing light spots. , showing a hazy beauty like a dream.

The clear spring water has distinct layers, the most surface layer is almost transparent and colorless under the light, but only reflects the mottled and flickering light and shadow, and the spring water shows an emerald-like color when it goes deep into the place where the light is weaker. Where no light can penetrate, there is a mass of deep ink, which looks calm, but seems to hide a mystery.

Sapphire stretched out her hand towards the spring water, and did what any human being who came to Danquan would do first, scooped up a handful of clear spring water and put it in her mouth, it was cold, clear and slightly sweet. It erupted in the mouth instantly, and an incredible force accompanied the spring water to swim through the limbs and bones in an instant.

"...Hoo~"

Sapphire let out a long breath, just a sip of spring water seemed to dispel all the heat of trekking in the dense forest, and even lifted her spirits.

"Well, then it's time to get down to business~"

After finishing what she was supposed to do as a tourist, Sapphire quickly adjusted her role, and now, it was time for her to do the business of this trip.

Without further ado, the girl began to take off the leather armor on her body. There was no one around anyway, and monsters would not have any special interest in human bodies. In their eyes, humans can only arouse appetite, so Sapphire behaved very Refreshingly, with three strokes, five times and two divisions, the leather armor was completely removed, and all the inner armor was also taken off...

Carefully folded the equipment that had been taken off and put it away. The girl, who was naked all over her body, did a few stretching exercises from side to side. The beautiful figure originally wrapped in leather armor stretched wantonly. Feili bit her own saber with her mouth, took two steps back to make a run-up, and jumped into the alchemy...

Sapphire, whose whole body was immersed in the Danquan, couldn't help but groaned softly. She didn't drown, nor did she feel any discomfort. Rather, it was just the opposite. After submerging her whole body in the Danquan, Sapphire Fei Li felt as if she had returned to her mother's arms, and the surrounding air was filled with reassuring warmth.

In this way, Sapphire silently closed her eyes in the spring water.

At the same moment, another person in the forest of Danquan...Riel was rapidly approaching Danquan's position.

Compared with Safiri's cautious way of finding the way by following the map and carefully avoiding all dangers, Riel's way of moving forward is much more straightforward, with ten goblins guarding the side, ten goblins leading the way in front, and even Danquan's way forward. Even the overlord of the forest can't last 5 minutes in front of this goblin assault force. This force is currently invincible in the forest of Danquan!

The Goblin Assault Troop summoning can only exist for 10 minutes at a time, so Riel didn't want to waste time, and directly used the simplest way to advance. Er has been depicted countless times in his mind, and he can find the way from here with his eyes closed. It took him a while to determine his position, and compared the 2D map with the reality in his head. Now he can already Clearly point out all forks and specific routes.

The straight line between two points is the shortest. Based on this only principle, Riel approached the target at the fastest speed all the way. At the same time, he had already made up a certain idea in his heart.

(The purpose of Sapphire is the power of the elves left in the Danquan forest, which is a blessing of the ancient elves, and Safiri is... ahem, in short, she has mastered the elf technique, and the Danquan forest is a blessing from ancient elves. For others, Mori is just a spectacle that produces 24-hour time-recovery potions, but for Safiri, it is a place that can get great benefits.)

As Riel moved forward, he kept recalling the plot and setting in his mind.

(However, Tanquan Forest is not peaceful. Besides Sofia’s giant brown bear, there is also Tanquan water monster... The event boss in the first map is also invincible according to the normal game flow BOSS, its identity is...)

At this moment, all the goblins around Riel uttered a strange cry, their bodies quickly disintegrated, and disappeared into white light in an instant.

Of course Riel knew the reason for this, the 10-minute summoning time limit had already arrived...

But obviously, these goblins are no longer needed, because Dan Quan... has already appeared in front of Riel.

The scenery that appeared in countless dreams appeared in front of his eyes, which made Riel very excited, but he didn't have much time to immerse in the good memories, because there was an uproar in the calm Danquan. The sound of water, a large whirlpool rolled up on the calm lake.

"Well, it seems that I came just in time~"

Riel rushed all the way to Danquan, just in order not to miss the first plot event of the whole game, and saw the swirling lake surface suddenly exploded, and four thick tentacles like transparent flowing water stretched out!

On the almost transparent water blue tentacles, a red-haired girl with no hair all over her body was firmly grasped. The tentacles grabbed her limbs and firmly fixed her whole body, posing a perhaps From the perspective of the monster itself, there is no problem, but the posture that is very problematic in the eyes of the beholder...

(What the hell was going through my head when I was young?)

Riel couldn't help but ask himself so...

Yes, based on the analysis of the current situation, Sapphire did not receive any special treatment that she likes to see, but she took off her equipment for the convenience of entering the water, and the water monster happened to be the type with tentacles. The two coincidences collided, It turned into such a crooked appearance.

Well, now is not the time to think about that.

Seeing the tentacles of the water monster slowly wandering over Sapphire's body, spreading from the limbs to the girl's slender neck, immediately, the water-colored tentacles began to tighten in one breath, and they only needed to continue to tighten for a while to seal off the severed limbs. What happened to the throat...

Ruier stepped forward and rushed out. At the same time, a small card-shaped thing was already held in his palm...

Chapter 5 Where Dreams Begin

Sapphire knew that she accidentally made a big mistake.

Danquan was the first elven relic that Sapphire found, so she didn't know the consequences of absorbing the remaining elven power in the relic. After all, from her perspective, the elven relics were already ownerless. In any case, outsiders cannot use the power of the elves left in it, and her act of absorbing the power of the elves is not considered a robbery, it is just a capable person who has no owner.

However, it is clear that some people don't think so...

...The Tanquan water monster is not a monster in its true form, but a kind of artificial life created by ancient elves using elf techniques, or...an alchemy life.

The duty of their existence is very simple, which is to protect the creations of ancient elves, because alchemy life itself only needs to know how to "obey orders", and there is no need or reason to give them higher wisdom. Therefore, when thousands of years are wasted, The ancient elves were extinct, and the creations of the ancient elves became the relics of the elves. These guards created by the ancient elves are still loyal to their duties.

From Sapphire's own point of view, her behavior was like removing the part she thought was still usable from a broken device that had been reimbursed. Anyway, the owner of this thing was dead, and the thing itself was broken. Why not use waste?

But from the point of view of the guardians of the elven relics, Safiri's action is to destroy the creations of the ancient elves. They are not smart enough to think that the things they guard are already a pile of rags, and their responsibilities are their responsibilities, even if they guard It's just a rotten boat, and outsiders can't even pull out a rusty nail from it!

Thus, Sapphire became tragic...

...Safari is already the best among her peers, but facing the black technology created by the ancient elves, it is really not enough at all. It takes a short time to win and lose, alchemy Life doesn't know what pity is. As long as it is determined to be an intruder, it will destroy the other party according to the "program" originally imprinted on it!

(This is really...a stupid way to die...)

At the moment when the tentacles slowly locked her throat and squeezed bit by bit to suffocate her, Sapphire helplessly laughed at herself in her heart...

"That tentacle monster over there, let go of that girl and let me come!"

Suddenly, a shout that destroyed the atmosphere interrupted Sapphire's thoughts. Her body was immobilized and she couldn't move. Naturally, she couldn't see what happened, but the voice sounded unexpectedly familiar. She had heard this voice before.

Sapphire struggled to find out the name of the man she had a relationship with from her memory.
