Chapter 207: On the Island(1/2)
Ten minutes later, as the island got closer and closer, the scenery on the island became clearer and clearer.
Island No. 9612.
It is located 80 kilometers due north of Tai Island, the largest island in China, and at the same latitude as Fuzhou City on the southeast coast.
The unnamed islands in the game are usually small in size, and No. 9612 is no exception. Once you get close, you can place the entire island in your sight at a glance.
Trees, rocks, beaches.
Slowly appeared in front of the four people.
However, Lu Zhe warned that there would be other people who have not yet been discovered.
After all, this is just a small island without much strategic value. It is very close to the mainland coastline and Tai Island, which makes it less noticeable.
Fisherman Island, 150 kilometers to the east, is an island that has attracted great attention. Although it is also small in size, due to some historical and political reasons, Chinese and Japanese players have been eyeing this island in previous games. Here
There were countless battles that took place.
On the other hand, the geographical location of Fisherman Island is extremely important. It can be used as a transit point to directly proceed to the Kamiuchi Island belonging to Japan, which is of great strategic significance.
Because of these two reasons, Fisher Island still ranks among the 791 sovereign islands even though it does not meet the conditions in all aspects.
But Island No. 9612, where Lu Zhe and others are located, does not have the same status.
Because Japan and South Korea had already announced their possession of ships the day before, Lu Zhe reminded a few people that they might encounter enemy players. But at the moment, it seems that they are overly worried. After all, this place is useless and there are no missions. Who can
I have nothing to do and run around on the sea.
Lu Zhe found an easy place to go ashore, and the two canoes ran aground on the beach.
"Destroy the ship." Lu Zhe ordered.
"What a pity." Su Ying was a little reluctant.
She has recently started selling high-grade clam meat on the exchange. There is no problem with sales, but because the rosemary in the formula is too rare and expensive, her profits and output are not very high.
You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you start a business, but you realize how hard it is to make money when you start a business. Even if she had such a rare cooking formula, the overnight riches she imagined didn't happen, so she cherished gold coins more than before.
At this time, seeing Lu Zhe destroying the canoe that he had just used for an hour, he felt really regretful.
Lu Zhe explained: "The cost of this thing is very low, and we may not go back from here soon. If there are players from other countries, wouldn't it be an advantage? In addition, there is the possibility of exposing our whereabouts."
"Oh." Su Ying nodded.
"Gray God, are we here to do a mission?" Hyacinth asked.
"Almost, Little White Rabbit has collected a set of fragments in the treasure hunting profession and is ready to combine them. We need to find a place here. In addition, there is a boss that needs to be defeated."
"Fragments? Combination?"
Xima Zangjian and Hyacinth were both shocked.
Of course they know what treasure hunting is all about.
It produces items with the highest value in the game, but it is also the most rare profession. I have not yet heard of anyone who has collected a complete set of fragments.
Doesn’t treasure hunting require a guild to support a player?
Why did the little white rabbit collect a set of fragments so quickly?
Lu Zhe heard surprise and confusion in their voices, but he had no explanation and could not explain it.
how to explain?
I am also very helpless.
"To combine the fragments, you need an altar. There are such altars all over the world, but their location is uncertain. When I came to this island last time, I happened to see one here," Lu Zhe said.
"What's going on with the boss?" Hyacinth asked,
"Each altar is located in a remote location and has a guardian. This guardian is a monster at the elite boss level in the wild and will drop certain good things."
Several people were talking while walking towards the center of the island.
Lu Zhe added: "To assemble the fragments, in addition to the altar, you also need five kinds of sacrifices. They can usually be found around the altar. This island is not big. We will spread out and look for them later."
"Remember it all, these five sacrifices are: bronze tripod, dried crocodile heart, black cat nails, red veined stone ring, and mysterious iron piece."
"These things must be on the island, so they won't be hard to find."
The process of combining fragments is included in the official information, but most people give up when they see the fragment collection stage. Xima Hidden Sword and Hyacinth are such people, and they have no idea about the subsequent steps.
But that’s okay. Although the step of assembling the fragments seems confusing and seems to be engaging in some cult ritual, in fact it is nothing more than borrowing some occult things to create a specious sacrificial activity. In the end, in the game, players need
What you do is not complicated, the only difficulty is the elite guard boss.
In principle, the original intention of the game was not to allow players to pursue treasure hunting before reaching the full level. Without Lu Zhe using his past life puzzle-solving experience to point out the general direction, Su Ying would not have been able to collect all the treasures at this stage no matter how lucky she was.
Set of fragments.
This set of fragments only has 3 pieces, which is a relatively low level of difficulty. Of course, the probability of combining it into the best one is also relatively low.
After the four of them walked for a while, Lu Zhe suddenly stopped.
Su Ying was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"Someone."
"Um?"
"Look at the ground."
After Lu Zhe finished speaking, he pointed to an open space in front of him.
There are some criss-crossing footprints printed on the soft soil. Although these footprints are not as clear and obvious as shoe prints in reality, they are the traces of people's walking.
"Footprints?" Su Ying asked.
"Yes, and the surrounding plants all have traces of being trampled and destroyed."
The club will require contracted players to avoid damaging the surrounding environment and leaving no traces as much as possible when conducting collective activities in the wild.
But for ordinary players, it is a natural and normal behavior to chop a branch or peel a few weeds while on the road.
For this level of destruction, the game will reset at zero o'clock every day. In other words, these traces were left today, and there are probably other people on the island.
The biggest reason why Lu Zhe chose this island instead of looking for an altar somewhere inland was that the altar guard here had a high probability of dropping something he needed.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Wild bosses will not drop fixed items, but there will be some rules. For example, some top-quality equipment and blueprints other than artifacts will only be dropped by specific bosses.
This is also Lu Zhe's biggest reliance now.
Another reason is that after the altar has been disturbed once, it needs to wait for a month before it can be used again. Although there is probably no treasure hunter in the country who will use the altar yet, it is possible that someone accidentally disturbed it.
After all, the altar guards are the ones who will drop good rewards. However, the altars are usually located in relatively secret places, making it difficult to encounter them casually, such as this small island that is isolated overseas and does not even have a name.
Of course, Lu Zhe went straight to the altar of this island. Another consideration was that he did not want to be disturbed by others. If someone else came while the boss was fighting, it would be difficult to say that they would get along well with each other, even domestic players.
"What should we do?" Su Ying became more vigilant and began to look around.
Lu Zhe said: "If there are many people, avoid them, and if there are few people, kill them. If nothing else, the ones on the island now are either Korean or Japanese players."
"That means there are honor points again, right?"
Su Ying couldn't hide the excitement in her voice.
She had spent a lot of time recently to improve her knowledge in the game, and when she saw the rewards in terms of military rank, she was extremely envious.
The higher the military rank, the greater the benefits.
Purchasing a mount is only the most basic reward. After that, some special equipment, special items, and even some privileges will make people drool.
This is also one of the important means for the game to encourage players to pvp.
Of course, these rewards cannot be universally available to most players.
The further you go up in military rank, the harder it is to advance.
According to the settings of the game, there are fourteen military ranks from private upwards, namely: private, corporal, sergeant, staff sergeant, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general,
General, Marshal.
In reality, this kind of military rank classification is obviously too rough and arbitrary, but in order to make it easier for most non-military fans to accept it, this clear classification is used in the game.
And among them.
For captains and below, the calculation is based on the total number of honor points.
In other words, as long as you reach a certain number of honor points, you can be promoted to captain, but starting from the eighth level of major, the military rank will be determined based on the ranking of all players.
To put it simply, the number of players with military rank above major is limited. The higher the military rank, the smaller the number.
For example, a country can only have one marshal and ten generals at the same time.
The difficulty can be imagined.
Especially in China, it is no longer difficult to describe the difficulty of killing hundreds of millions of players and becoming the top player.
Su Ying had envied the title of Marshal more than once.
But at this point, Lu Zhe did not dare to make any promises.
To be continued...
