Chapter 74 Monster Soul Growth System Disadvantages (Sixth Update)
"Don't charge alone. Brothers who are online will gather at the Emperor's Tomb Village exit. We will charge out together later."
"I thought Black Tide was so scary, but it turned out to be just this, playing the unparalleled mowing mode for us. It's so cool."
"Although Guidance said that this is only the lowest level Black Tide, and the evil spirit life's strength can barely reach the level of Waning Crescent evil spirit, but it's all good."
"The team lacks powerful output to level up together. We don't need Taunt Soul and other auxiliary Monster Soul, just output."
"It would be great if there was a nanny Monster Soul who could increase blood. Although it would be fun to kill Black Tide, the battery life would not last at all, and you would die if your physical or mental energy is exhausted."
Black Tide has been wreaking havoc in the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range area all day long.
Players who originally planned to play the round robin tournament in Emperor's Tomb Village were completely excited.
The enemy's weakness was beyond their expectation.
In the eyes of players, the newly born low-tide evil spirit is simply an experience monster that gives away experience and Sacrificial Power. Its lethality is pitifully weak and its number is extremely large.
The last batch of new players who entered the game were still complaining about the difficulty of the monsters in the Waning Crescent Moon scene they just entered the game. However, they completely turned around after encountering Black Tide and found that their strength was enough to kill seven in and seven out in the low-strength Black Tide.
The refreshing feeling of killing evil spirits makes even old players feel that the nature of the game has changed.
Compared with the previous soul-like survival mode of hard mining and teaming up to challenge high-level hunting evil spirits and monsters, the emergence of Black Tide has changed the nature of the game into an unparalleled mowing mode.
The only thing that bothers players is that the battery life is insufficient and they will be imprisoned for an hour Xiao Hei's Room after each kill.
Every time you leave Emperor's Tomb Village, there is no Return Journey charge until Soul Return Emperor's Tomb Village.
Compared with the happiness of the players, Di Nian Evil Spirit, who created this Black Tide sweeping disaster, is in distress.
At this time, on the high tower platform of Domain Node, Di Nian Evil Spirit's eyes followed Black Tide and swept across the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range area.
During this period, it discovered a very serious problem.
As Black Tide spreads to nearby areas, instead of increasing in intensity, it is continuously weakened through contact with the mysterious group calling itself the player.
In order to investigate the origin of this group of mysterious creatures, he personally went to follow them.
The result was an incredible conclusion.
The lives of these self-proclaimed players do not seem to be creatures of this world, but come from other worlds like it and descended on this land by crossing the Monster World barrier.
In other words, this group of Player Race are also intruders from Monster World.
But the method of invasion was incomprehensible to him. They actually came through the world barrier one after another, sometimes dozens of them together, sometimes even alone, without any tactics or coordination.
After coming into contact with the Black Tide he controls, the members of Player Race will only fight mindlessly until their lives are extinguished.
This is extremely inconsistent with the legion structure that an invasion force should have. It is completely scattered and has no systematic combat effectiveness.
But such a small force with no lethality has become a hidden danger that he cannot solve.
Player Race has a rule characteristic that cannot be broken by Evil Eye. It will be completely dissipated after death and cannot be absorbed by Black Tide, and the evil spirits killed by Player Race members cannot be reintegrated into Black Tide.
The fight became a constant drain on each other.
What it doesn't know is how much reserve power the players have. If it continues in its current form, the strength of Black Tide will only become weaker and weaker.
When he came to this world for his first expedition, he encountered a big trouble that could not be solved. This made the ambitious Earth Nian very angry, but there was no perfect solution. The only thing he could think of was to use Black Tide to continue to consume Player Race's reserve power, and gradually erode the players' power.
In the war of attrition, Black Tide Legion is invincible in Di Nian's eyes.
Before this, he had invaded two Small World.
In the early stages of the invasion, the Black Tide Legion that arrived were on the weak side.
Especially when invading the dungeon world, the commander who led Black Tide had less than a commander-level combat power, and his strength was not even as good as the strongest beings in the dungeon world.
However, in the long years when Black Tide Legion swept the world, the comprehensive combat power of the alliance of forces in the dungeon world was continuously weakened, but the combat power of the Black Tide Legion increased rapidly. In the later stages of the war, the commander's combat power was promoted to the king level, and he was also promoted to the commander-level warrior in this battle.
In the end, under their last wave of offensive, the dungeon world ushered in the doomsday moment when Black Tide devoured the world.
Therefore, in the eyes of Di Nian Evil Spirit, what Black Tide Legion is least afraid of is a war of attrition. With the blessing of the characteristic of quickly breeding evil creatures, no force can compete with Black Tide in a protracted war.
In the eyes of Di Nian Evil Spirit, the disadvantage in the initial confrontation with other forces or the evenly matched battle represents the inevitable victory.
Origin Altar.
The data information fed back by Guidance appeared in Qi Sheng's mind. The above is the profit brought by the Player Legion's 29-hour fight against Black Tide.
After deducting the consumption of the player's death and resurrection, Black Tide brought him 580,000 Sacrificial Power income.
Revenue grew explosively.
If the current trend continues, the rampant Black Tide will greatly enhance the comprehensive strength of the Player Legion.
According to feedback from Guidance, Di Nian Evil Spirit has exhausted the reserve energy of Abyssal Domain Node, but in order to occupy the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range area, Domain Node is borrowing energy from other Black Tide nodes in an attempt to create more evil beings. In the view of Qi Sheng, this behavior is simply borrowing money to upgrade the combat power of his Player Legion.
What a disaster, this is the real God of Wealth.
[I have used Sacrificial Power frugally for too many poor days, and it feels so good to suddenly become rich.]
Guiding Water Orb, which was floating next to Qi Sheng, had a happy expression on its surface, and then continued:
[Recalling the days when we were nearly bankrupt and waiting to die before recruiting players, now that we have hope for the future, it is simply heaven.]
Guidance's words made Qi Sheng extremely emotional.
Before finding the Earth, he and Yan Ming's consciousness shuttled through countless worlds that collapsed Shatter. He watched as the remaining Sacrificial Power inventory became less and less used, and it was almost not enough to hide and become independent of Monster World. Emperor's Tomb Village, they were all ready to face death at the moment of Emperor's Tomb Village barrier Shatter.
At that time, Yan Ming even proposed to extract the remaining Sacrificial Power from Emperor's Tomb Village and break out of Emperor's Tomb Village's idea of fighting to the death, saying that he would rather fight to death than wait for death to meet death.
Fortunately, he stopped Yan Ming and chose to consume the remaining Sacrificial Power to continue looking for an uncollapsed world.
When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the huge blue planet emerges from the perspective of consciousness.
At that moment, my heart was filled with endless joy, and I still remember the feeling Qi Sheng clearly to this day.
Guidance's emotion at this time was not what he was thinking.
Player Legion used facts to prove that there was no problem with the plan he originally conceived.
Although at this stage Player Legion is only fighting against the weakest low-down force among the Black Tide forces and is far from being able to compete with the real main force of Black Tide, its growth potential has been demonstrated in this battle.
It feels amazing to watch Player Legion grow rapidly.
There is a sense of joy and satisfaction in watching the child you created grow little by little.
And his Di Zhao body also contains 17 kinds of Origin Source powers with the help of players, and its strength is several times stronger than before the recruitment plan started.
The most obvious feature is that after switching to Di Zhao Form, the scarlet flames burning on the body become darker.
As Guidance said, everything is developing in a good direction, and what was originally a dead end has ushered in a bright future.
Without thinking much, his eyes switched to the player's perspective, and his consciousness quickly shuttled between different player perspectives and the latest information updated in the forum.
At this time, a post on the forum caught his attention.
[New battery life genre, Eat Qi dual-wielding Astral Veins combination Test Tower simulation effect demonstration.]
Live player: Steel Giant Arm.
Content:
Recently, Black Tide has been fun to kill, but a problem has also been discovered. There is a special evil spirit "Sneak Attack" in Black Tide. Below is a screenshot of the analysis of the sneak attack.
(Attachment: Analysis information)
The monster in the attachment looks like a shadow sliding against the ground, with no specific form.
[Shadow attack (evil spirit)]
Hunting Level: 5
Target introduction: A low-level evil being born from Black Tide. It is immune to low-intensity physical damage and can cause continuous damage to the target through parasitism.
Everyone must have encountered this evil being, and it is considered the most difficult monster in Black Tide.
Once entangled, there is no way to dispel it, and you can only withstand increasing injuries. I found that many people died from being parasitized by the shadow attack.
My understanding of the low-difficulty physical damage mentioned in the introductory information is that it cannot be destroyed with one blow, and it can be healed quickly by just cutting it in half. This is also true. I defeated the Shadow Strike several times but it healed quickly. Only energy and elemental damage can cause substantial damage to the Shadow Strike.
This problem makes me very distressed. When I was playing games since I was a child, I only preferred melee combat and did not like to play long-range mage professions.
The same goes for this game. I started with Black Armor Snake, paired with Shattering Blade Monster Soul, both of which are melee Monster Soul.
I am completely helpless when encountering such disgusting monsters.
In order to solve this problem, I thought of Test Tower and decided to simulate it to find the answer.
As a result, a Optimal Solution of the existing 17 types of Monster Soul was actually combined.
Without further ado, let's go straight to the demonstration video.
(Attachment: Demonstration video.)
Qi Sheng's consciousness clicked on the video, and the virtual scene suddenly appeared in his mind.
The player "Steel Giant Arm" first showed off the four Monster Soul he matched, namely Shattering Blade, Li Man Axe, Bone Fire, and Eat Qi. These four Monster Soul.
Then Steel Giant Arm in the demonstration scene began to explain the characteristics of this Astral Veins combination.
"The Astral Veins inlay display is over. Next, I will explain the combat ideas of my Astral Veins combination."
"Considering that some evil spirits and monsters can only cause substantial damage to them if they are of the energy and elemental system Monster Soul, I thought about whether melee combat could also have elemental damage, and create a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts."
With that said, Steel Giant Arm waved his hands, and two weapon spirits suddenly floated to the left and right.
The weapon on the left is Shattering Blade, and the weapon on the right is Li Man Axe. They fell into his hands and held tightly.
At this time, Bone Fire Monster Soul is activated, and the ink-colored flames quickly spread from the player's body to the weapons, attaching a layer of burning flames to the two weapon weapons.
"There must be some brothers who are wondering why I want to dual-wield weapons. The weapon spirit can be freely selected after fusion. For example, the Shattering Blade and Li Man Axe in my hand are fused, and you can freely choose the knife or ax form. After the two are combined into one, they will have both the Shatter effect and the output amplification effect."
"Here I must mention the issue of weapon attack frequency. As a veteran melee player, the dual-wielding mode can significantly increase my attack frequency. It is very easy to use after I become proficient. Left Hand breaks the defense, and the right hand Critical Hit is very powerful in actual combat."
"With the enchantment of Inkflame in the form of Bone Fire, physical damage comes with elemental damage."
After explaining his fighting ideas, Steel Giant Arm changed his tone:
"But using Shattering Blade, Li Man Axe, and Bone Fire alone has a serious drawback. The battery life is very weak. Before Five Minutes, the mental energy will be exhausted and you will fall into a dizzy state."
"After all, we are not majoring in the legal system Monster Soul. We are still focusing on melee Monster Soul. The problem of weak mental power means that we cannot release the Inkflame ability for a long time like players who major in Eagle Head Demon, and the battery life is very weak."
"So I added Eat Qi as the fourth Monster Soul option... It is important to mention here that Eat Qi Monster Soul is not only suitable for legal players..."
After hearing this, Qi Sheng has already understood the combat mode of this Astral Veins genre.
Left Hand Shattering Blade is used to break defense, marked with Shatter, right hand Li Man Axe hits hard, Bone Fire After Monster Soul is enchanted with the weapon spirit, both dual-wielding weapons will be inflicted with elemental damage wrapped by Inkflame, and a Eat Qi will be added, responsible for Qi and Blood and mental power recovery, and the enchantment effect of Inkflame will continue.
After explaining the composition idea of Astral Veins, Steel Giant Arm in the demonstration scene calls out the test panel to summon monsters.
He shuttled among the monsters in dual-wielding form, and his performance was outstanding. During this period, he kept opening his mouth to suck in air, and the white air flow formed a vortex in his mouth.
This post received a lot of likes from players, and the comment area was very lively:
word: Thank you for sharing the Astral Veins genre. It looks good. It is much more practical than the brothers who shared the advanced genre. The genre of the Monster Soul combination that has not yet been included looks strong. When can I use it in the Year of the Monkey, Horse and Moon? I like this kind of practical Monster Soul combination strategy. I have saved the post.
Protagonist of Destiny: Thanks for sharing the strategy, brother. I really like the combination of magic and martial arts.
No gold, only one life: Thank you so much. I was still worried about this problem just now. How should I deal with special monsters such as Shadow Attack in pure melee combat? I saw your strategy post on the forum, and I decided to follow your style, but I don't like dual-wielding, so Fusion Spirit is more suitable for me (Reward: 1 point Sacrificial Power)
Black Night Approaching: A good idea, but there is a serious problem in this genre. After Body Tempering reaches the level, its attributes are inherited. Li Man Axe and Shattering Blade mainly increase physical attributes, but Eat Qi and Bone Fire Monster Soul mainly adds mental attributes. There is a conflict between the two types of Monster Soul. In theory, players who choose four melee Monster Souls are much better than you in terms of physical strength. As a result, this genre looks gorgeous, but it only has one more enchantment element effect. The strength is not as good as that of players with four melee Monster Souls. I think it is not practical.
Steel Giant Arm (the original poster) replied to Black Night Approaching: Damn, it's Brother Heiye. The problem you mentioned does exist, but in order to deal with special monsters, there must be losses. The physical fitness of this style is definitely not as strong as the four kinds of melee Monster Soul. Does Brother Heiye have any good suggestions?
Looking through the reply messages, Qi Sheng discovered a setting issue that I had not paid attention to before.
In the post, the Raider player "Black Night Approaching" raised a problem with the combination of Astral Veins, which reminded Qi Sheng of the disadvantages of the Astral Veins combination.
At this stage, when players hunt evil spirits and monsters, the Evolution Points they obtain is shared by all embedded Monster Soul.
For example, the player has embedded three Monster Soul and gets 120 Evolution Points points by killing a monster. The Evolution Points obtained will be evenly distributed, and the strength of the three Monster Soul will increase simultaneously.
There is a problem that cannot be focused on cultivating.
The Astral Veins genre provided by player Steel Giant Arm has this problem, Bone Fire and Eat Qi The level of Monster Soul only needs to reach a sufficient recovery speed of mental power. Too much injection of Evolution Points will become an obstacle to improving strength. The excess Evolution Points can be used to focus on the cultivation of Shattering Blade and Li Man Axe.
In the future, as the number of Astral Veins genre combinations increases, this problem will become more serious.
Balanced distribution has become a drag instead.
Qi Sheng discovered the problem and immediately had the idea to modify the settings.
How to modify it? He already found the answer when reading the comments.
It was decided to add an "adjustment function" to the acquisition of Evolution Points, allowing players to freely allocate the permissions of Evolution Points.
Without thinking much, Qi Sheng immediately started the practical test.
Calling out Challenger System, countless beating characters suddenly appeared and rotated around his body.
In a flash of thought, Guidance beside him began to cooperate with him in simulating the creation of a new Evolution Points distribution system.
Ten minutes later, a brand new panel appeared in front of Qi Sheng, with five large characters "Evolution Points Distribution" printed on it.
The center is the Monster Soul mosaic bar, with five simulated mosaic Monster Soul displays on it. There is a draggable percentage progress bar below Monster Soul, and the percentage can be freely allocated by dragging.
The highest can be set to 100%, the lowest can be set to 0%, and at the bottom is the "One-button Balance" button.
Select one-click balance, the progress bar below the five Monster Soul will automatically adjust to 20%, and the Evolution Points obtained by hunting will be shared equally.
After testing the feedback effect of the connection between the function panel and Challenger System, Qi Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
The emergence of new functions will completely solve the problem of not being able to focus on cultivating Monster Soul, giving players more freedom to choose to strengthen. After a specific Monster Soul reaches a certain level, the allocation can be adjusted to 0%, and the hunting allocation Evolution Points will no longer be shared.
Completely solved the problem of weakening combat power caused by over-balanced reinforcement mentioned in the post.
After the test was completed, Qi Sheng decided to start a new round of updates to provide new features to players.
And this is exactly the meaning of his continuous collection of player information. Each update is for players to have a better gaming experience, obtain more convenient function use, and then create more Sacrificial Power revenue.
Achieving the true form of Di Zhao starts by protecting the player.
