The news that Lin Qi was about to retire caused excitement in the gaming circle for a while, but was soon replaced by another blockbuster news.

The arenas and battlefields of all countries are fully open.

At this time, four days had passed since Lu Zhe's gang got the first kill on the seventh floor in November.

Qian Xuehuan kept his promise and helped Xima Zangjian and Du Xiaoxiao pass the seventh level the next day. Boss Du envied Su Ying for being Qin Qingman's friend, but he did not have the courage to initiate a conversation, and in the end he did not

Can make friends.

In the past four days, Siemens of Germany, AMC of the United States and the Chinese Faith Club have successively cleared the seventh floor of the Weeping Cave.

However, without exception, these six teams, including the Big Bad Wolf team, all fell at the initial stage of the eighth level.

The eighth floor of the secret realm, the Flame Prison.

Before reaching the cell where the boss of the dungeon is located, there is a path covered with red-hot slag. Players who walk on it will suffer fire damage and a ban on magic effects.

The fire damage is extremely high, and the path is still long.

It takes an average player 2 minutes to walk the entire route. Because it is paved with slag particles, the entire road is extremely soft. The places where professional players can draw strength are very limited. The fastest it takes is about 1 minute and 30 seconds, and this time has already been burned by the flames.

.

The several teams that have tried so far have all fallen on this road, without even seeing a single mob.

…

weekend.

Yingxiao Studio.

Su Ying directed the workers to move a white vending machine to the corner of the training room, facing several game cabins.

After paying the bill and sending people away, the three of them stood in front of the vending machine and looked at it carefully for a while.

"Is there anything missing?" Su Ying crossed her arms thoughtfully.

"No price tag?" Lu Zhe asked tentatively.

"Yes, I'll get the pen and stickers." Su Ying suddenly realized.

"Is this really necessary?" Lu Zhe couldn't laugh or cry.

"Yes, yes, our studio will need to recruit more people in the future, not just the three of us. Then it will be necessary." Su Ying happily went to get the things and started making price tags.

Du Xiaoxiao had no interest in this kind of thing, but seeing Su Ying doing it, he had no choice but to help. She couldn't do anything with calligraphy, so she did some paper cutting and sticker work.

Su Ying also specially checked the prices of various snacks and drinks on the Internet, wrote them one by one on the stickers, and then asked Du Xiaoxiao to paste them in the corresponding places. Sometimes she felt that the stickers were crooked and she was not satisfied, so she would tear them up and re-stick them herself.

Several people worked hard all morning before finally completing all the preparations.

Plug it in.

The vending machine lights up, exactly like the ones in the mall.

"This batch of snacks was sent by the machine manufacturer. There is nothing I like among them. You two should finish them quickly so that I can put potato chips in them." Su Ying said with a smile.

She had already ordered some of her favorite snacks and drinks online, but they had not been delivered yet.

Lu Zhe was helpless: "Well, boss, can these snacks be free?"

Su Ying thought for a moment: "That's okay, but I'll have to buy it myself in the future."

"Okay." Lu Zhe was very cooperative.

Then I saw Su Ying carrying a shoebox down from upstairs. There was a crisp sound inside. When she opened it, it turned out to be a large box of coins.

"I went to the bank to exchange this specially. Come on, let's buy 10 for each person and try it out." Su Ying seemed to be obsessed with this thing and thought about everything.

Lu Zhe smiled and said: "You don't have to do this. You can scan the code with your mobile phone. Who uses coins now?"

Su Ying said: "This is more retro and has a sense of ritual."

In the end, Lu Zhe and Du Xiaoxiao couldn't defeat Su Ying. Each of them took 10 coins and stupidly bought some snacks from the vending machine.

Lu Zhe casually opened a pack and poured it into his mouth, speaking incoherently: "Did you finally upgrade last night?"

"Well, all are 25." Du Xiaoxiao was not very interested in snacks, threw the things he bought aside, and returned to the game cabin to prepare for the battle.

The five of them have been leveling up like crazy these days. Lu Zhe also took time to practice while he was in the company during the day, and even surpassed a few of them, becoming the second person after Hyacinth to reach level 25.

It wasn't until last night that Su Ying and the other three reached level 25.

At this time, Hanshin Ryuichi, who is number one on the level list, has reached level 30, and most of the first-tier professional players are around level 278.

"After reaching 25, level is no longer the most urgent, and other aspects must also keep up." Lu Zhe said.

"What else to do?"

"Do you know the battlefield has begun?"

"I know, but why don't we go to the battlefield without leveling up?"

Du Xiaoxiao was a little confused. With her temperament, she wished she could stay in the battlefield all day long. However, she also knew that leveling up was the first priority. She had not played PVP for a long time in the past few days.

"The level needs to be upgraded, but the battlefield also needs to be fought."

"Why?"

"For honor points."

"Upgrading military rank? Do you need to buy a mount first?"

"Not bad." Lu Zhe nodded.

"Isn't it a little early?"

Du Xiaoxiao's doubts are not without reason.

In the game, players can only use ground mounts at level 30, and flying mounts at level 60, but these are only level restrictions.

In fact, all kinds of mounts in the game are very rare. Even the most common ground mounts are as rare as legendary equipment. They have to be obtained by completing tasks, and the probability is too low and unreliable.

However, the map of various countries is too big. If the player does not have a mount, it will be too time-consuming to explore completely on two legs. This is not the original intention of the game.

Therefore, the final system will allow most players to obtain at least one ground mount.

And the easiest way to obtain it is on the battlefield.

Every player, after reaching the rank of second lieutenant, can purchase a war horse from the quartermaster for 10 gold coins as a ground mount.

Although 10 gold coins is a lot, compared to the mount, it is already considered a bargain. Especially in the later stages, after the gold coins depreciate, it is basically equivalent to giving it away for free.

The rank of second lieutenant is, it is not difficult to say, ranking behind private, corporal, sergeant, and staff sergeant. It is the fifth-level military rank in the game. However, at this stage, it takes a period of hard work to obtain it.

However, no one can say whether it is worth wasting such a long time on leveling up to upgrade the military rank.

The game official has not given any reasonable suggestions at present, but there are many discussions on this in some mainstream forums.

Abandoning leveling and upgrading military ranks may seem like sacrificing the basics for the sake of the end, but on the other hand, with the addition of a mount, the efficiency of leveling and completing tasks will obviously increase a lot.

After weighing the two aspects, a more authoritative statement is that when you reach level 29, going to the battlefield to upgrade your military rank is the most cost-effective way.

But because there are currently too few people who have reached this level, there is no way to make statistics. Everyone is just guessing.

Du Xiaoxiao had obviously seen similar posts and was puzzled by Lu Zhe's approach of preparing to go to the battlefield at level 25.

"After level 25, there is not much difference between earlier and later." Lu Zhe explained: "And the reason why we urgently need mounts is not only to make it easier to level up in the future, but also to consider the secret realm."

"The eighth floor of the flame cell?"
