The existence of Cross gave Ai Lan a strong sense of crisis.
Half an hour later, he stood up and looked inside the Spider's Nest.
The interior of the underground lair was not very deep, but the large amount of spider silk around it caused great trouble for his progress.
After touching the bottom of the cave, a treasure chest mark suddenly appeared on Ai Lan's mini map.
"There is indeed something!"
The treasures buried in the underground passages cannot be detected unless you get close.
This was another very important piece of information, so he quickly wrote it down.
Following the marks on the map, Ai Lan pushed through a thick layer of spider silk and successfully dug out a treasure chest in a remote corner.
"Congratulations to the player for discovering the small treasure chest."
"Please choose 1 from the 3 options below."
a: Obtain 1500 gold coins.
b: Gain 1000 experience points.
c: Obtain a random level 1 treasure.
"Choose experience."
At this stage, gold coins and treasures are not the most urgently needed. Only upgrading can quickly increase his combat effectiveness.
Starting with these 1,000 experience points, plus the 500 points obtained previously, the experience points required for Ai Lan's upgrade become 1550/1800.
Destroy a monster nest, and most of the experience will be filled up in one go.
This expedition was very fruitful.
After eating up all the nearby resource points, Ai Lan now has two choices: return to the city immediately or continue exploring in the wild.
If he returned to the city, he would really be reluctant to use this scroll.
Moreover, the team is in pretty good shape. Two more soldiers have been added, and the combat effectiveness has not decreased but increased.
In comparison, he prefers to take a few more laps in the wild.
The river I just saw on the map is a good place to go.
"Open the leaderboard."
The contribution of the first person on the ranking list has reached 28 points.
He didn't know where he found so many little monsters. Ai Lan walked around outside for a long time, but he only encountered 5 of them.
But a mere 28-point contribution doesn't put much pressure on him.
But the name that appeared next made his heart tense.
Second place: Cross - contributed 25 points.
"when."
This guy didn't even see her name in the top 100 just now, but she jumped to second place in the blink of an eye.
Ai Lan's pressure suddenly rose.
"I really can't rest for even a minute."
He just rested for half an hour, and the weather was about to change outside.
The tree guard's condition has not fully recovered, but at this time, Ai Lan does not dare to rest anymore.
After hurriedly leaving the underground lair, he hurried towards the river.
Along the way, he was pretty lucky. He encountered two waves of five small monsters in a team, which suddenly brought his points to 15 points.
During the battle, the two spider guards showed very strong practical capabilities.
Not only does it have high defense, it can also use its body to block damage from others, making it very useful as a secondary T.
After hurriedly arriving near the river, a lot of the fog on the map was dispersed.
Although no new resource points were found, if you keep walking downstream along the river, you will most likely be able to find traces of towns.
Based on Ai Lan's many years of game experience, there will definitely be many special resource points in such a river passing through the forest.
According to the rules just discovered in the underground passage, if you want to find resource points in the river, you may have to dive under the river and get close to the resource point, and then the reconnaissance technique can mark it out.
The range and success rate should be related to his perception attribute and reconnaissance level.
Ai Lan looked at his soldiers. They had only one natural element and no ocean element. This was not a team that could fight water battles.
Although he is very greedy for underwater resources, his soldiers are also very precious.
Even if he is a flower fairy, he will feel distressed for a long time if one dies.
There is a high probability that you will gain something if you go into the water, but there is a greater chance that you will be ravaged by underwater monsters.
"Forget it, I'll just keep going."
If you want to find towns, you have a much higher chance of going downstream.
Qianye Forest is one of the starting points for novices, and Ai Lan guessed that the area should be quite large.
It can be known from the chat history of the regional channel that there are a total of five level 2 towns and thirteen level 1 villages in Chiba Forest.
In addition, there is a level 3 city in the middle of the forest.
These should be all the local forces in Chiba Forest.
In this kind of war game, if the new continent is not opened, these local forces will be captured by players sooner or later.
In fact, many players from guilds and studios are already eyeing level 1 villages in the forest.
If the spawn points weren't random, there might already be players gathering together to save resources.
Invincible Heroes: New World has not conducted closed beta or open beta. After passing the novice stage, no one can tell where the players will go.
In fact, there are only a few things game companies can do.
Let the local forces on the novice continent fight with each other, and then let the players slowly develop in the melee.
Open a portal to divert players who have passed the novice stage to the new continent.
A special large map is opened, allowing all players to freely go there and conquer the entire server in the infinitely wide map.
Turn on the naval battle system and search for new continents through large voyages.
A naval battle is unlikely, as it would be too beneficial to the marine system and could easily break the balance between the factions.
The other possibilities are similar.
Ai Lan himself guessed that the possibility of a melee between the local forces and the opening of the New World was the greatest.
If he can successfully get the heart of the city this time, then going to the New World will undoubtedly be the most beneficial to his development.
If he wants to develop in an area like Chiba Forest where a large number of players gather, guilds, studios and professional players will become a big trouble that he can't get around.
"Since the advent of virtual games, no player has ever been able to conquer a continent single-handedly."
Even the least popular virtual game has nearly 10 million daily active players.
This kind of thing is impossible to do even if you think about it.
