Liu Yifei sneezed hard and couldn't help but wrap his wolfskin robe a little tighter.
This "equipment" itself does not have any actual attributes attached to it, but in Liu Yifei's current eyes, it is better than thousands of king's equipments.
It is now March, and spring is the wind season in the snowy Northland in the game.
The winter snow on the entire continent has melted, and the warm ocean currents and monsoons from the south of the continent will blow across the entire land at this moment. Whether it is a civilized territory or a savage wilderness, it seems that it is awakened by this breath of spring and regains its due vitality.
However, this humid and warm monsoon is terrible when it comes to the Northland!
The trend of Talembel Mountains is getting higher and higher towards the north!
The barrier of a thousand meters above sea level can stop the thousands of armies of a civilized country, but it cannot stop the omnipresent atmospheric monsoon winds in the world.
But affected by the cold air from the extremely cold places in the north, the warm and humid monsoon turned into the cold breath of the goddess of winter when it arrived here. It lacked the gentle vitality before, but became more fierce and deadly!
Coupled with the barrier known as the "Endless Peak" in the far north of the continent, the cold wind blows here and forms an internal circulation, which happens to be "constrained" on the entire Talembel Plateau.
It disperses but cannot dissipate, and the monsoon winds continue to pour in from the south, making the northern border a real hell of ice and snow during this period!
The cold wind howls and heavy snow covers the sky
The constant roar of the wind among the mountains and woods seems to declare the anger of nature, which will devour all existences that dare to challenge its majesty!
In fact, the weather conditions during this period did cause considerable trouble to players.
The game was just launched last year, and it was already June when the server was launched, so everyone in the game has never experienced such a cold spring.
In the days when the icy wind first blew, players were suddenly surprised to find that all the humanoid NPCs in the North were actually wearing thick winter clothes!
Not to mention the ordinary citizens in the city, even those high-ranking military masters or service-oriented NPCs in various system unions have suddenly changed their costumes.
You don’t wear leather robes in the middle of winter...Why is it that spring is here, but these NPCs are starting to chatter?
ill
The players ridiculed each other and continued to fight the battlefield as they should. They also continued to take daily adventures, complete tasks, and upgrade as usual.
However, "Breath of Ice" quickly demonstrated its power.
After all, they are local players who have "lived" in the North for more than half a year. Players from the Tower Clan naturally understand the game details that need to be paid attention to in daily life.
For example, you must bring a tent when you go out on adventures for a long time. You cannot go offline randomly. It is best not to go out for more than three days in a row. The extreme situation is between five and seven days, and you can no longer return to a safe camp. Then the problem is
Really big deal
Also be sure to always bring some ale or even spirits with you in your supplies!
Although drinking "strong liquor" will bring the player character a short-term drunken state, resulting in spell casting failure, attack errors and other inconveniences, it is definitely much better than being baptized by "frozen frostbite"
It's a pity that players still underestimate the so-called "wrath of nature" in the game!
In the days when the Breath of Ice first blew, millions of players almost all found that their characters were in a natural blood deduction state for a long time, even if the characters could not escape in the system city (it is worth mentioning
Yes. It’s fine indoors, in caves, and in underground cities, as long as it’s not in the open air)!
Although this blood deduction is not serious, it will cause great inconvenience to players!
For example, you can no longer log off at will...
Once the blood deduction occurs, the system will assume that the player is in a combat state. Forced offline means death or the game character remaining in the game to be eaten. The result must be extremely miserable.
Another example is the "power" setting hidden in the game, which has long been discovered by players.
The higher the degree of simulation is, the more players can feel the important impact of "power" on daily behavior and combat.
If the energy is intact, the player's various physical resistances will be significantly improved, and an "explosion speed" can also be generated during action, which is the hidden value of the so-called "charge acceleration". The value of this value determines the player's position from standstill after an explosion.
The reaction time to increase the status to the maximum action speed is affected by the strength attribute.
But if you have "no strength", you will definitely not be able to explode.
And once the physical strength is "overdrawn", the problem will be even greater. The system defaults to the "weak state"! The only way to quickly recover is by sleeping in the game hotel and going offline (you have bought a house with furniture, or have a guild)
It is also possible to stay in a residence or even a territory. In addition, only severe fatigue requires in-game sleep, which can usually be replenished by drinking food).
In short, with the spring roar of "Breath of Ice", the lives of Northland players have undergone earth-shaking changes.
These days, the most common thing said among low-level NPCs is "those idiots who deserve to have their noses frozen off", and these "idiots" naturally refer to the players.
And then the chain changes happened...all kinds of food, alcoholic beverages, hot drinks and non-attribute thickened winter clothes are selling like hotcakes!
When this happens, players will gnash their teeth in hatred towards these highly intelligent system profiteers!
Who said that the service-oriented NPCs we usually see have low intelligence?
Depend on!
A bearskin robe that was only sold for 30 silver coins a week ago, why is it being sold for three gold coins now?
Is this a sign of "retarded intelligence"?
Fortunately, today's players are no longer as poor as they were more than half a year ago.
With the continuous development of the game, players have not only greatly improved their own strength, but also various production processes have made rapid progress!
Although it is still unclear how players can obtain the title of "expert" today, and the "experts" in the various production deputy jobs that have been born in the game are also vague about this. However, the production of some "decorative" equipment without attributes
Talking about senior professional titles, intermediate and even low-level tailors can do it!
In the past half month, tailor players in the north have made a fortune.
Not only do players need to buy a large number of various leather clothing for cold-proof screens from them, but even NPC lords are also frantically purchasing all kinds of winter clothing!
The battle between the Tower Clan and the Dungeon has been going on for months.
To put it intuitively, the entire Kingdom of Mercury has been almost destroyed!
Even now, war is raging in a small half of the other "Ice Wind Country".
Tens of millions of soldiers from the two tribes were divided into several fronts and strangled together in the entire Talou tribe, and the fight was still fierce!
The NPC lords of the Tower Clan naturally understand the power of "Breath of Ice", so they actually started secretly preparing for it two months ago.
In the entire battle plan of the Tower Clan, they also plan to take advantage of the enemy's lack of understanding of "Breath of Ice" to quickly end the battle in these two months!
Especially in April when the cold wind becomes more severe, if the enemy cannot be completely repelled at this time... The alchemists don't know what the dark monsters in the dungeon think, but they will continue to fight.
If so, the war will be more cruel than the conflict between factions. If the alliance cannot provide timely and strong support, I am afraid that the entire Tower Clan will be brought down by the enemy's crazy attack.
Of course, the alchemists also believe that while the tower clan is being dragged down, the sorcerers in the dungeon will definitely not be much better.
Therefore, these two months are probably the bottom line for magicians.
Somehow, everyone seems to feel that the war has reached a critical moment that is about to end...
Although the plan is set like this, no one can tell what the specific situation will be.
Therefore, the rear can only continue to increase troops and train troops, and at the same time, it is also trying its best to produce necessary equipment for all camp troops.
At this time, relying on the production efficiency of NPCs is a bit unable to keep up. After all, if mercenaries are open to recruitment, the number will definitely be faster than the production speed of equipment weapons.
Therefore, NPC lords can only issue "recruits" to players. That is, NPCs provide raw materials and players are responsible for building them. They will then give appropriate rewards and military statistics afterwards.
This is definitely great news for professional players who have always been engaged in material production!
Because these players have focused their attention on the training of their deputy positions, and although their combat prowess is taken into account, they are definitely not qualified to go to the front line. If they do, it will be a complete delivery of food to the local area.
Therefore, these people have much fewer opportunities to accumulate military merit than combat players. This is undoubtedly a big reward for them.
In order to cope with the strategic hoarding of basic materials, NPCs also timely issued various tasks of "collecting materials" to other rear-line players, not to mention strategic resources within the normal range, and even for "furs" that were incidentally produced after the battle.
For the "resources", the NPC lord also gave formal purchasing provisions. Compared with the past, players can make a lot more money by throwing them all at the grocery store.
But it is precisely because of this reason that the wolves, bears, and even furry animals such as rabbits in the north have been in bad luck recently. Players are killing them crazily, almost in a genocidal manner.
!
The system itself also has its own set of computing mechanisms for natural reproduction.
In short, after a series of chain reactions, these furry animals can escape and die, and they are actually rare in the north!
A small "unintentional act" by the system caused a lot of trouble to Liu Yifei, who had just arrived in the north.
Compared with when he left the northern border more than a month ago, the snowy plateau at this time was so cold that there was no way for people to survive!
Even though Liu Yifei had a large number of spiritual heroes around him, using various auxiliary spells to help him keep out the cold, the results were still not optimistic enough.
And looking at the other "people" around us...
damn
Either an undead, or a hero as strong as the spirit level!
Although they don't like this extremely harsh cold wind climate, it will not have any obvious impact on them. The only troublesome thing is Liu Yifei's large number of undead mercenaries. Almost all of them are affected by the cold.
Speed and attack speed are generally reduced by about 20%.
But they are not afraid of the cold!!!
Whether it's undead or vampires, the big deal is just a little troublesome. The ratio of damage to output during combat needs to be recalculated and considered, but it's not like Liu Yifei is so cold that his nose is covered with snot all over his face every day, right?
In the past two days, when they continued to climb out of the mountain from the "external ruins" of a secret valley, they were surprised not to see even a single wild animal, which made Liu Yifei even want to wear a leather robe to keep warm.
Fortunately, luck seemed to be good today. After going online in the morning, the old lizard man who was patrolling finally brought a nest of northern snow wolves, which gave the tauren druid the materials to make a wolf skin robe for Liu Yifei to use first.
"Ah sneeze!"
"What? Still can't stand it?"
Seeing Liu Yifei wearing a wolfskin robe and still sneezing, Skeleton Inheim asked with some gloating as if nothing had happened.
"It's weird that you can't bear it! This damn weather..."
Liu Yifei couldn't help but curse.
"Haha, although you may occasionally feel inconvenient after becoming an undead, it does bring some conveniences.
cold?
This is a feeling I haven’t experienced in a long time.”
Inheim didn't know whether this was a sentimental statement or simply teasing Liu Yifei, but he frowned when he heard it.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet... you are an adventurer operating in the ghost territory, and you have rested on the skills of the ghost wizard... why didn't you choose to transform into an undead?
The way I feel...
You seem to be able to transform yourself into an undead, right?"
This question has been weighing on Inheim's mind for a long time. When we last met, Liu Yifei's strength was still low. He was just a wizard who had just started.
But now...it seems that he has reached the third level, right?
How come you still maintain your human body?
The experience of the third life allowed Inheim to experience the different types of human, lich, and undead bodies. In his opinion, if you want to become a powerful necromancer, it is very convenient to transform into an undead body.
Even if the Liuyun in front of him can't transform himself into a corpse witch, turning into an undead should not be a big problem, right?
The reason why he didn't ask many questions in the past ten days or so was because Heim felt that there was not enough time and casually asking about other people's secrets might make Liu Yifei repulsive.
But seeing Liu Yifei on the side sneezing violently, he couldn't help but be curious.
"this......"
Regarding this issue. In fact, many "experts" have mentioned it to Liu Yifei, such as Toradre, Sandro, and even the extremely mysterious Lord of Darkness.
With the advice of these "unparalleled experts", Liu Yifei has long made up his mind to stick to the true form of human beings. This is a foundation that cannot be moved, because according to all the experts, if he wants to "break through the limits", then
Obviously the "human" body is the most promising
The other more troublesome thing is that when Liu Yifei was able to be reborn at the third level, a mass of chaos and a mass of life force had been sealed in his body. If he chooses to transform his original existence into one that completely belongs to the death power system,
As for the undead...the problem seems to be getting more complicated!
But how could you tell Inheim such a secret?
Although the two are in a cooperative relationship, Liu Yifei has never even mentioned these words to the little assassin, Xue Lan, let alone talking to this skeleton.
Fortunately, just when Liu Yifei was speechless, the old lizard man patrolling and reconnaissance in front suddenly sent word that he had discovered "two teams" fighting in the forest ahead...
When the army stopped, Liu Yifei personally led a group of heroes to go to the rescue. When they arrived at the place, they saw...Liu Yifei was speechless.
This is also called "two teams of people are fighting"?
This is simply one-sided suppression, okay!
In the sparse coniferous pine forest ahead, a group of about 2,000 troops was surrounding another group of more than 40 people.
The small force has been completely surrounded, and the enemy troops outside have begun to use small groups to continuously tear apart the enemy's defense circle, trying to find opportunities to capture the enemy in one fell swoop.
Liu Yifei and the others were hiding on the outer edge of a hill, and they could see the situation clearly from the top down.
But to Liu Yifei's surprise, these people in front of him turned out to be a small group of troops from the underground city, surrounding and killing a group... What was that?
Elemental giant?
Liu Yifei was confused
Why are there elemental giants here?
And they actually started fighting with the regular army in the underground city?
Surprisingly, there were even seventh-level black dragons among the two thousand troops on the opposite side!
Damn it
Being entangled by such a force proves that these elemental monsters have definitely been bitten by the regular army in the dungeon! Because according to the news Liu Yifei got on the battlefield before, there are no seventh-level black dragons among the troops in the ordinary dungeon.
Mercenaries exist
Generally speaking, these guys definitely fight in cooperation with heroes who are at least spiritual level, and there is little chance of them going out and being surrounded and killed.
Under the guidance of the old lizard man with better eyesight, Liu Yifei found the "leading hero" of this dungeon team, and he was also a Minotaur hero!
This is really interesting
Think about it, you are following a group of minotaurs around you, and the difference between minotaurs and minotaurs, especially heroes, is really not big. After all, they are all powerful individuals with standard enlightenment and wisdom. If you don't know the different people among them,
, you can’t tell which one is which at first glance.
Liu Yifei was quite happy thinking about this, and wondered if he had any chance of fooling around with others.
But with his eyes darting around, he suddenly saw the figure of another person in the team of besieged "elemental giants"!
Depend on!
Why is that kid here???
Liu Yifei was suddenly startled, and subconsciously opened his friends list. When he saw that the other party was indeed online, Liu Yifei subconsciously dropped a small note:
Hey old K, it’s such a cold day, how can we breathe some fresh air in the woods? (To be continued...)
