Chapter 376: The Reading Room at the End of the Maze
Tudou's face almost turned into Bao Gong. After all, the battle ended too suddenly. He boasted about Haikou before the battle started, but he didn't expect that the battle ended in less than three seconds without even fighting back.
"Boss, what kind of skill is this? It's so cool. It doesn't save any face for me, just KO!!!" Tudou said with a bitter face.
Before I could say anything, Qingqiong rolled his eyes and said first, "Oh, it's embarrassing to pretend to be a coward..."
Under everyone's strong request, I announced the detailed attributes of the two newly learned skills in one go. Everyone saw that the branch skills were so powerful, and they all swore that they must accumulate enough luck points. The eyes of a group of animals shined, thinking about this
The scenes are all horrific.
...
After a while, I interrupted the group of daydreaming guys and changed the subject: "Stop yelling, Qingqiong, what did the boss just drop???"
Qianqiong searched through the baggage, and then placed several items in front of me.
The output of the real boss is quite normal, including a legendary-quality knight's heavy armor, just for formal wear, two slightly larger energy cores, and finally a drawing with complex parameters.
The energy core is almost the same, but it is one level higher. I believe the effect will be better when used. The only thing that stood out to me was this slightly yellowed drawing.
Requirements for use: Advanced level in mechanics.
Effect: After choosing to learn, you will permanently obtain the manufacturing method of the Hardware Guardian.
Manufacturing material requirements: Black gold ingot × 30, hundred-forged steel × 10, mithril ingot × 1, energy core × 1. I am wondering what the energy cores I got are used for. Now that I have this blueprint, take it back to
Guild craftsmen only need to learn. The most ore needed to make hardware guardians is Wujin. Although Wujin is a metal mineral that is not low in value, it is only slightly expensive and not in short supply. As long as you have money, you can still buy it in large quantities in the market.
As for the hundred-forged steel, it is a very common third-level ore. You can get it as much as you are willing to spend. The only rare thing is the mithril ingot. This thing is an associated ore. It is scattered among other mineral veins and can rarely be mined in large quantities.
, the mining brothers are lucky and can dig out several pieces with a single swing of the pickaxe. Unlucky, sometimes they can’t dig out a piece of mithril ore for half a month. But fortunately, the demand for this thing to make mechanical puppets is not large.
If it's not mass production, you can still get it by gritting your teeth.
But if you think about it from the bottom of your head, the properties of the hardware guardian handmade by this player will not be the same as the guardian we cleaned up. If it is made with original properties, it is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of collecting materials will be at least a hundred times higher.
Collect all the gains, and then everyone comes to the end of the corridor. If you guessed correctly, the room should be the doorway or stairs to the next floor.
Sure enough, after entering through the big hole in the door, there is another cave in the room.
On the innermost wall of the room, there was a blue film-like portal. The power of this portal was unknown for how long it would last, so everyone filed in without much thought.
Inside the portal, there is another world. We seem to have entered some underground cave. There is a small, slightly flat resting place under our feet. In front of us, there are six bottomless cave entrances.
Looking at the name of the mini map in the game, it has changed from the storage room on the first floor of the Mage Tower to the fascinating path on the second floor of the Mage Tower. Just looking at the name, it looks like a maze. Damn it, this Caesar Mage was too old when he was alive.
He was able to do it, but he was willing to spend extremely rare space materials to build such a disgusting terrain in the mage tower.
With so many cave entrances, there must be a path leading to the right path, but without a familiar map, no one dares to say that the one they choose is definitely right. Therefore, after a brief discussion, everyone unanimously decided to let the one who has always been the lucky star in the team.
Qianqiong chooses one of the six, and with Qianqiong's always strong luck, maybe he can really choose to pass.
Everyone was not nervous about their decision-making, but rather a little excited. It is said that this girl has been very lucky since she started playing games. She occasionally formed a wild team with other members in the guild and harvested purple or even orange equipment.
In all likelihood, the final winner of roll points will be from Cangqiong. Over time, the guild has even formed an unwritten rule. Members form wild teams to upgrade. If there is no Cangqiong, the roll points will be allocated. If there is Cangqiong, they will be allocated according to needs.
If neither is needed, the captain will divide the price equally.
Qiang Qiong rubbed his hands excitedly, and his big eyes flashed around wildly. Finally, his eyes locked on the hole of the second secret passage from the right.
In our eyes, this cave entrance is no different from other cave entrances, but in the mouth of the sky, it is the most pleasing to the eye, so the probability of it being the right path is relatively high.
Anyway, everyone was betting, so there was nothing to worry about. Tudou took the lead and entered the cave first with his shield in hand. The rest of us filed in, wearing 2t attire, and took the post of queen without hesitation.
The overall cave passage is oval in shape, and the highest position is about three yards high. Apart from not being able to ride horses, we people don't have any difficulty walking. The stone on the wall is the kind of black stone used to build buildings in the territory. In this weird
In the atmosphere, it was so dark that it made people uncomfortable.
The group of people turned around countless times in the winding cave. In the end, I, a road-obsessed person, couldn't even tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Fortunately, the cave didn't branch. It was a one-way street that went all the way to the dark side.
While chatting, we moved forward at a steady pace.
After walking for about half an hour, we finally reached the end. Sure enough, the heaven-defying luck of the sky was perfectly reflected here. This road that everyone was not optimistic about turned out to be the correct path of the maze.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after we walked out of the cave, the location of the cave entrance turned out to be a flat wall. After stepping out of the cave entrance, I looked around and thought, is this a study? Or a library?
In this square space of more than 100 square meters, there are no more, no less, exactly nine bookshelves. Looking at the small map, it has also changed from a fascinating path to Caesar's reading room. On the wall facing the reading room
, there is a banner made of unknown material, with six vigorous characters written on it, reading makes people smart.
At first, everyone was wary of turning left and right, wary of possible monsters, but the nine people walked around in this not-too-large space, and finally determined that in this room, apart from these books and the passage leading to
Behind the gate in the other direction, there is not a single monster.
After discovering the new gate, Tudou and the others were eager to rush over, but I always felt that something was wrong. It took so much effort to get here. The game planners definitely did not design this map to simply fool people. Since it has a purpose
, if we leave blindly, we may miss the established goal.
"The door to the next floor is right here. Let's go quickly. There's not even a monster here!!" Tudou had already moved to the door of the room, making a show of opening the door and leaving.
"Everyone, please wait, maybe there will be other benefits!!!" I stopped Tudou from being reckless.
Now I have learned to think about the problems in the game from the perspective of a planner. Many things are seen from the perspective of an outsider. In fact, the operation is not difficult, but if you want to understand the key points, these books now remind me of hanging on the wall.
The first thing that made me think about the characters is what we are likely to get from the books on the bookshelf.
"What's wrong, boss? What did you find??"
"Yeah, Moonlight, what did you find??" Everyone started asking questions.
"Not yet, but I have a hunch that these books shouldn't be placed here for no reason. Maybe there will be something helpful to us!!" I said, staring at the bookshelf closest to me.
"How many lifetimes will it take us to read so many books? I feel like your guess, boss, is unreliable!" Tudou said as he casually kicked the bookshelf next to him, and a book on the edge clicked.
It fell from the bookshelf with a sound, and the inertia made the pages flip. Suddenly Tudou was stunned.
"Holy shit, it's really rewarding!!! Boss, I just took a cursory glance at this book, and I actually got an extra attribute of +5 full attribute points." Tudou's eyes widened, and everything in his eyes was filled with difficulty.
Confidence.
"Let me take a look too!!" After hearing this, the man in the dress beside him also picked up a book made of ancient parchment.
As soon as the title page of the book was opened, a golden light emerged from the book and converged on the head of the dress.
"It's true, it's true, it's true!! I got some lucky points!!!" The dress was no longer calm, and started dancing while holding the sheepskin book. Reading the book made me gain a little lucky points. Are you kidding me?
Before I became successful, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death.
With Potato and Tuxedo eating crabs, everyone started to move. Everyone looked for a bookshelf, and then began to look through all the books on the bookshelf crazily.
Basically, after reading every book, you will gain something more or less. Some are tens of thousands of experience points, some are military merit points, and some are basic attribute improvements. If you are lucky, you will gain lucky points. Although in general these attributes
The improvements are not extraordinary, but when added up, they are already considerable.
Most books are simply read for the sake of reading, because the text of the book is not in common Chinese characters, but in Latin. As long as you browse through it, you can get a small amount of attribute bonuses in a few seconds. In these books
In the middle of the game, I found a book, which was written in common characters. It mainly introduced various anecdotes, myths, legends, etc. in the Oath Continent. Basically, it covered all aspects. Many things recorded in it were related to the game.
The background information officially released by the forum is highly similar, even accurate to the name of a certain epic level powerhouse.
