Ark, a chat group for gamers

Gollum—

The sound of bubbling from the molten obsidian recalled Lin Luo's divergent thinking. He turned his head to look at the smelting furnace, and a layer of black-purple solid-liquid mixture had appeared in the liquid storage tank.

This phenomenon immediately made Lin Luo put aside these thoughts in his mind, and began to devote himself to work.

As the obsidian is poured into the mold and cooled, a brand new obsidian pickaxe is complete.

For this transitional pickaxe, Lin Luo didn't intend to make it too luxurious, but just took two parts and a handle at random to make an obsidian pickaxe.

In this way, he has the ability to mine cobalt and Adit, and when the cobalt stock is sufficient, the obsidian pickaxe can be retired directly.

After obtaining these two kinds of nether minerals, he can then make Mayuling, the craftsman's soul apex alloy.

At that time, my sickle and the chopper in Laurentina's hand can be upgraded, and replaced with a chopper made from the top of Mayuling.

Lin Luo is aware of the deep-sea hunter's combat endurance. He himself is a Mrs. Steve who has no physical exertion, but Laurentina who follows him has never once Showing a tired look.

It even vaguely looks like he just finished warming up, and his condition is getting better, showing a very comfortable expression.

And the craftsman soul ability at the top of Mayuling is an ability that is very suitable for long-term combat. This ability called greed can continuously obtain high attack power bonuses during long-term combat, and realize the real sense of fighting more and more fierce.

The only thing to consider is the issue of durability consumption. At present, Lin Luo thinks of using a special item such as a durable reinforcement plate to increase the basic durability of the weapon.

It is best to directly add the durability attribute to indestructible, so that no matter how the weapon is used, its durability will be fixed at the moment when it is indestructible.

In this way, there is no need to consider the additional durability loss caused by greed.

"Just thinking about it makes my heart itch -- I can't wait, I'll put off the work on planting demons for a while, and let's upgrade the craftsman soul first!"

Lin Luo picked up the obsidian pickaxe, and with the wind blowing under his legs, he went straight to the portal to the lower realm.

At this moment, the craftsman's soul of the dwarf has been ignited, and nothing can stop him from mining and forging iron.

There's nothing better than watching others become stronger with the weapons they've crafted.

Cultivation is one of the pleasant behaviors engraved in the soul of human beings!

Chapter 40 -100 correction value?!

After entering the lower realm again, Lin Luo was able to quickly get used to the extreme environment of the lower realm.

It can only be said that the system did not throw him a willpower module, otherwise Lin Luo's schedule to enter the lower realm would have to be postponed for a long time.

Mining in the Nether in the real world is not a pleasant thing. The hot temperature, unpleasant smell, and the surrounding blocks that look like some kind of corpse can all stimulate people's senses.

Except for those relatively rare ancient remains, it is relatively easy to dig cobalt and Adit in the Nether.

The frequency of these two minerals is so high that even Lin Luo can find these exposed minerals on the surface without digging a mine in the lower realm.

But Lin Luo didn't think about opening mines in the lower realm.

On the one hand, the underground of the lower realm is full of cavities filled with magma, which are dangerous and laborious to dig.

On the other hand, Lin Luo also wanted to explore the situation in the lower realm by digging the gap of the ore.

If he could find the Nether Fortress, then Lin Luo could consider starting his own refining technology.

Unlike Grolifa, who was deceived by the witch, all the brewing process of the potion is in Lin Luo's mind. As long as the ingredients are enough, he can brew the corresponding potion.

It's just that he hasn't figured out how to deal with creatures like blazes yet.

Even in the MC world, blazes, hostile creatures that have long-distance means and can fly in the air, are also a headache.

If you enter the Nether Fortress without any good equipment in the early and mid-term, you will easily be sent away by a set of three consecutive fireballs from the blaze.

Not to mention the hit damage of the fireball itself, the main reason is that the ignite effect given at the same time is a bit difficult to solve in the environment of the Nether.

There is no doubt that using a fire resistance potion is the best countermeasure. The fire resistance effect given by the potion can directly turn the blaze into a harmless creature.

But this is going to fall into a cycle - brewing potions requires blaze sticks, and blaze sticks can only be dropped by killing blazes, but it is painful to fight blazes without fire protection potions.

An emoji of the old man and the young man quarreling and throwing things slowly emerged in Lin Luo's mind.

Of course, Lin Luo also has another way out, which is to get rid of the mystical system of enchanting.

Putting on a set of equipment with projectile protection and flame protection, Lin Luo can bear the attack of the blaze and kill it.

It's just about enchanting. It requires a lot of experience and a mineral called lapis lazuli. It's a pity that Lin Luo doesn't have both.

"What's the use of thinking so much, let's get Cobalt and Adit first."

Lin Luo recovered from his imagination, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "I haven't even seen a shadow of a Nether Fortress now, maybe I'm unlucky, I have a set of level [-] enchantments, and I may not be able to find the Nether Fortress .”

The process of mining ores on the surface went very smoothly. Lin Luo estimated that he had harvested nearly a group of ores in less than two hours.

Along the way, he also explored a part of the Nether wasteland, and moved forward along the huge magma lake until the basalt delta was stuck in front of him. There was no Nether fortress or other naturally generated buildings in this entire area. .

As for the basalt delta in front of him, Lin Luo originally wanted to go in and have a look.

But when he saw the nether slime jumping on the delta from a distance, Lin Luo immediately gave up his bold idea.

He had expected that the size of the slime would be huge, after all, these large slimes in the game were as tall as a person.

But the large slime that was at least three meters high in front of him still exceeded Lin Luo's expectations. In addition, there were at least a dozen slimes in the dandruff valley, which made Lin Luo's scalp tingle for a while.

"Thinking of the best, at least the magma cream is impossible to be missing."

Lin Luo comforted himself, then turned and retreated in the direction he came from.

In the end, Lin Luo spent some time looking for and digging for the minerals of the craftsman's soul. He didn't set off until the obsidian pickaxe was close to being scrapped.

He estimated the results of this mining. If he hadn't unlocked the new Artisan Soul extra module, then the Artisan Soul minerals in his hand would be enough for him to squander for a long time.

After leaving the lower realm, the refreshing air of the main world dispelled the hot feeling on Lin Luo's body.

Looking up at the sky, another day was coming to an end, the color of dusk dyed the heavy clouds in the sky blood red, like a boiling flame surging above the sky.

Inside the wooden house, the light of the torch hit Laurentina's silhouette on the window, and an unknown but extremely soft and soothing singing sound came from the window, it was Laurentina recording a song for the record.

Laurentina has been trying to record recently, but it seems that she is not very satisfied with the finished product and has re-recorded it many times.

Lin Luo jumped away from the Nether Portal area, ready to throw the ore in the backpack into the smelting furnace for burning.

Now that he has a large source of magma, he can finally take out the glowing source stone.

Every time this source stone fuel is processed, it is a test of Lin Luo's reaction and hand speed. It is quite unstable and cannot be automated, which makes him simply abandon this fuel.

For MC players, not being able to automate is a natural sin.

After replenishing the magma fuel, Lin Luo glanced at the backpack and threw the cobalt ore into the furnace first.

If it is not for the synthesis of mayulite, then cobalt ore and adite ore cannot be put into the furnace together, otherwise the smelting furnace will directly synthesize the two into mayulite just like making molten obsidian.

When he first came into contact with the Craftsman's Soul module, Lin Luo was deprived of a lot of resources because of this feature.

After confirming the smelting time, Lin Luo stretched his waist and walked towards the wooden house.

It was still tiring to spend a long time in the lower realm, so he planned to rest at home for a while, and then take advantage of this time to sort out the progress of plant magic.

After returning to the house, Lin Luo lay down on the bed listening to Laurentina's singing. He emptied his mind and temporarily stopped thinking about the unfinished work.

The singing is soft, like sitting on a sunny beach, watching the waves caressing the shore in the distance.

Just when Lin Luo was feeling drowsy listening to the song, a prompt from the system woke him up.

[Influence correction value: -0.05]

[Influence correction value: -1.5]

[Influence correction value: +2.0]

The sudden change in correction value made Lin Luo sit up from the bed, "This is not a small range, did something happen again?"

He began to recall, but after searching all over himself, Lin Luo couldn't find an answer that would convince him.

"Could it be a change in unity..." Lin Luo clicked on the chat group, but before he could look at the chat records of the group friends, he thought of the answer: "Ah, it seems that the time is almost up.

"It should be because Loranta passed away."

Lin Luo had a good impression of the upright old man, so her death still made Lin Luo a little bit sad.

[Player Cube Liver Dilin has obtained a new mutation task! 】

A line of prompts suddenly jumped out and occupied Lin Luo's line of sight.

The weekly mutation tasks released by the system appeared like pinching points, but this time the font of the system-released tasks seemed to be a little larger than before.

Lin Luo wondered if this was his own illusion, and clicked on the introduction of the mutation task.

Then, he was dumbfounded by the failure punishment in the mission introduction.

"What the hell? If you fail, you will lose 100 correction points?! Seriously?!"

----------------

Chapter 41 Karaton's Mutant Quest

[Mutation Mission: "Stop the Storm"]

[Mission introduction: Before the catastrophe arrives, go to Karaton to solve the source of this disaster]

[Task Reward: "Legendary Module: Draw the Sword"]

[Punishment for mission failure: the impact correction value is reduced by 100 points]

"Ah this..."

After a brief surprise, Lin Luo gradually regained his sanity.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no decimal points in the numbers given by the system, he accepted this task with a heavy penalty for failure with some distress.

By the way, I should comfort myself, even if the punishment for failure is huge, at least the reward is also very powerful.

This is the sword-drawing module, one of the purest combat-oriented modules, and it is also a rare growth-type combat module. Even if you get those difficult hardcore integration packs, it can help players gnaw at the end of the integration pack. A lot of hard bones.

But that's just consolation, after all, Lin Luo understands that he must be able to complete the task first.

It is unrealistic to say that the difficulty of a task with such amazing rewards and punishments is simple.

How should I put it, although so far the big guys have not been able to figure out the final designation that affects the correction value, but with the hard work of various group friends, Lin Luo and the others are still able to determine some content.

For example, in a negative number state, -15 is the first bottleneck.

That is to say, as long as the noise made by the players does not cover the second city, and there are no main characters in the original work in this city, -15 is the limit that the players can do.

Based on this theory, other players have also guessed what conditions are needed to exceed this number.

Among the various conditions, there are several conditions that are affirmed by all players, and they can also confirm after discussion. Once these conditions are met, the influence correction value of all players will be reduced.

One of the conditions: Amiya, one of the protagonists of the original work, sent it.

Condition [-]: Kelsey, one of the protagonists of the original work, sent it.

Condition [-]: The original game player sent it on behalf of the doctor.

No matter which one of the above three conditions is fulfilled, it should have huge and irreversible consequences for the impact modifier.

If the three conditions are met together, then the big guys can welcome the early arrival of the end of the world.

In addition to these conditions, several group friends who have a certain understanding of the plot of the Ark also made other assumptions.

For example, the fusion of the ages, or the evil spirit of Laoshizi going south, or the large group of Haizi's early response.

The reason why these assumptions can be judged to cause the correction value to drop is also based on the current or mid-term state of the player.

If they are really allowed to develop steadily to the later stage, then these problems can not be said to be hot potatoes, but also a piece of cake... a piece of cake on the physical level.

Lin Luo compared all kinds of situations in his mind, and finally found that -100 is basically the most critical level, and further up is the world-extinction line.

But the question is, why is there such a degree of mutation task at this point in time?

This is not in line with the group friends' speculation on the progress of the task.

"Unless, say...something disrupted the process and caused the actual mutation to occur?

"Or is it that I am not the only one who has this kind of mutation mission?"

Cube Liver Emperor Lin: I have a mutation mission, if it fails, it will directly lose 100 correction value, do you have it?

Soulboy Zixu: Ghost, 100 correction points? !Are you ready to blow up Londinium?Can you get this kind of mutation task?

Red Police Lao Hou: The second week is not over yet, and our mutation missions haven’t been updated yet. Lin Luo, this should be your own mission.
