Lin Luo recalled for a moment and vaguely remembered that he had read relevant posts on the forum.
The City of Heroes to the extreme east is the city-state of Noxus in the background story of the game. This is a warlord empire that loves war.
The 'Drekan Plains' that Lin Luo passed by before, including the current 'war camp', all belong to the area between the two cities.
The leveling area of 'War Camp' is not too far away from the city-state of Noxus in the east. The monsters here are all humanoid monsters. They are prisoners of war, deserters, and criminals who have escaped from the Noxus warlord empire over the years.
.
In the game, these humanoid monsters are called "exiled war bandits".
Compared with the red deer beast, which looks harmless to humans and animals, the exiled war bandits are not only of a higher level, but also have a relatively higher AI. They have a fierce and violent temperament and often appear in groups of three to five.
Lin Luo and others soon arrived at a small town in the leveling area.
In addition to the eight main cities in the New World, there are also many inconspicuous small towns and villages scattered in the fog of the vast world.
The function of these towns is to level up players and provide supplies when completing tasks.
After all, when players are leveling up in the wild or doing serial missions, they will inevitably need to repair equipment and buy potion supplies during the process.
If you return to the main city and come back again, it will not only cost money but also take time. Therefore, these small towns and villages in the wild play a vital role. They are equivalent to the inns on the rivers and lakes in the old stories, providing a place for wandering rivers and lakes.
place.
The small town of Moss is a small town in a war camp.
Lin Luo came here for a very important reason besides repairing equipment!
——That is the legendary rare mission!
You must know that there are also NPCs in outdoor towns, and according to big data statistics during the internal testing period, 70% of players obtain tasks through outdoor NPCs, and only 30% obtain them through main city NPCs.
Those wild NPCs all over the world often issue precious and rare missions due to various chances, coincidences or hard work by players.
So Lin Luo went to this town with the attitude of trying his luck.
Although the town of Moss is called a small town, its area is only about four or five kilometers in radius. Because it is full of escaped prisoners of war, refugees, and criminals, even the air of the town exudes a musty smell, and it is completely outside the law.
land.
As soon as Lin Luo and the others set foot in the small town of Moss, many white men with the appearance of "exiled war bandits" came over and looked at them strangely.
Although the white monsters in this game will not actively attack players, the humanoid monsters are divided into camps.
These 'exiled war bandits' are a chaotic and disorderly camp, and they naturally don't like Lin Luo's group of uninvited guests.
But Lin Luo did not take action immediately. He followed the dilapidated muddy streets to the center of Moss Town, where a blacksmith shop was located.
Lin Luo walked into the blacksmith shop and saw a burly middle-aged man chewing a cigarette. Hot sweat was flowing on his bronze body. His strong arms were wielding a forging hammer and he was quenching a broken giant sword.
He has a green name on his head, 'Hans the Blacksmith'. The green here means that his favorability is friendliness.
The friendship between an NPC and the player is evaluated based on their favorability.
These nine types of favorability, from low to high, determine the NPC's attitude towards the player.
Generally speaking, supply NPCs such as blacksmiths and medicine shops are generally friendly towards players.
Blacksmith Hans put down his work and looked at Lin Luo with a surprised look:
"Huh? Another group of adventurers. The town of Moss has not been so lively for a long time."
Any NPC in the new world has some AI. If it is an NPC in the main city, it will be smarter, even smarter than most players, with a higher IQ and stronger logic.
Players need to delve into the deeper meanings from the NPC's words to have a chance to obtain clues to rare missions.
Lin Luo's eyes immediately focused:
"You mean, there have been adventurers here before?"
It seems that the traces of the previous battle are indeed correct, and players have indeed been here.
Blacksmith Hans nodded:
"Yes, but they left after repairing the weapons. By the way, did you repair the weapons or buy equipment?"
Lin Luo asked a few more circumstantial questions, and found that the blacksmith NPC was not very intelligent after all, and he still said the same words no matter how he asked.
However, Lin Luo was not discouraged. He went to the drug store again, but found that he could not find out the reason either.
In desperation, Lin Luo and others could only focus on leveling up.
After the group repaired their equipment and replenished their health and mana recovery potions, they walked toward the white humanoid monsters outside the town.
【Exiled War Bandits】
【lv8】
[Physical attack power: 120-180]
[Physical defense: 60]
[Magic Defense: 60]
[HP 3000/3000]
[Humanoid Characteristics 1 (Intelligence): Humanoid monsters will consciously join forces with each other, can flexibly use certain weapons, and will escape when they sense a crisis. 】
[Humanoid Characteristics 2 (Weakness): You can cause headshots, intimidation, bewitchment and other special effects on humanoid monsters, each with different effects.]
So far, this is the first batch of humanoid monsters Lin Luo has encountered.
The humanoid monsters in the new world are essentially different from other games, that is, even the white monsters have many human characteristics.
For example, humans are social animals, so these humanoid monsters will form groups and even patrol around purposefully.
Another example is that the greatest advantage of human beings is the use of tools. These white-named monsters can also make temporary use of weapons, and will run away when their lives are threatened!
Tata looked around in the distance, seeming to be sizing up the surrounding terrain.
"Lin Luo, this place is good, let's start practicing here."
Without saying much, she raised her giant shield and charged towards the bandits, which indeed caused a roar of shock and anger.
"Damn it! Where did this guy come from?"
"We finally got rid of those bastards, but these damn adventurers are here again!"
"Don't worry so much, kill them first and then talk!"
Tata rushed into the chaotic bandits and immediately activated his taunting skills, which were more effective against humanoid monsters.
More than a dozen exiled war bandits suddenly looked over, their eyes shining with ferocious hatred.
These war bandits all held ferocious-looking swords in their hands, and a few even held old-style muskets. Unfortunately, they were just about to launch an attack when a roaring arrow tore through the air and struck the war bandit at the front with a crash.
On the head!
A huge bright red number jumped out, and everyone's eyes twitched, shocked by the damage.
‘-1585’
You must know that Lin Luo is only at level six at the moment, and although these exiled war bandits are just white-named monsters, they are at level eight, with a blood volume as high as 3,000 points!
Lin Luo, on the other hand, just made a basic attack and actually dealt a huge 1585 terrifying damage!
However, this arrow also has some elements of luck. First of all, Lin Luo's arrow hit double damage as a critical hit. At the same time, the humanoid monster will be judged as headshot damage. The headshot damage is 150%, so this arrow shot more than 150%.
Damage to level 8 monsters with half the HP!
The war bandit who was hit by an arrow in the head let out a shrill howl, and he made a move that everyone expected, turning around and running away!!
Mao Tou squinted his eyes beside him:
"As expected of a humanoid monster, he managed to escape after suffering huge amounts of damage!"
This is the characteristic (smartness) of the humanoid monster in the previous insight information. When the humanoid monster receives too much damage, it will feel the crisis and run away. Even Tata's taunting skills are useless.
