Chapter 859: Lord system intervention, compensation selection
To be precise, the entire challenge field is shaking!
Even Zong Shen, who was riding on Ying Jiang's back, could clearly sense the instability in the field.
"Damn it, there's still such an operation!"
Zong Shen was also a little surprised. It was obvious that the great demon Artorius had used an unusual method!
It first created the altar through the summoning secrets of the Demonic Code.
Then he used his own blood of the Great Demon as a medium or inducer to activate the altar, and started a mysterious ritual called annihilation, causing the altar to attract the souls of the dead crazily.
Finally, through the power of the dead soul, the black beam of light connected to the sky and the earth was emitted.
It is this seemingly powerful black beam that causes instability in the entire field of defensive challenges.
You must know that this area is a temporary area specially built by the lord system for defensive challenges.
Although it does not have the perfect underlying rules and the possibility of evolution like the Endless Continent, its stability far exceeds that of those demi-planes. Such a solid field actually moved under the penetration of the black light beam.
The sky began to change, and the space above, below, left and right trembled slightly.
Zong Shen concentrated on sensing and found that he could not use [Wandering Wander], which showed that the space in the domain was in an extremely unstable state.
The canopy above the head has also undergone unpredictable changes. The original canopy always exudes a soft light.
But at this moment, the place where the sky curtain and the black light pillar came into contact gradually turned black, as if a light-transmitting curtain was blurred into a black curtain.
The black color is spreading, and the spreading speed is not slow. The light on the ground is dimming visibly to the naked eye.
"Hey, can you still come like this?"
Zong Shen felt that he had definitely underestimated Artorius's methods.
After all, it is a blood-burning demon that once invaded the endless continent. It can be said that all kinds of strange methods are endless.
Just when he was thinking about whether to find a way to counterattack, the exclusive challenge domain was suddenly filled with pale golden light, the air stopped flowing, and the domain space stopped trembling.
Yingjiang stopped flapping its wings, and everything in the field was absolutely still.
The countdown below the canopy also stopped running. This is the overbearing time-stop effect of the Lord system!
Zong Shen is also unable to control his body under the effect of Time Stop, but his consciousness is active.
Good guy, the lord system actually intervened!
He understood something instantly. To be honest, this was not the first time Zong Shen encountered a situation where the lord system suddenly intervened during a challenge.
Every time the lord system intervenes, it means that unexpected problems have arisen in this challenge.
It seems that the black beam of light created by the great demon Artorius is indeed not simple!
The passage of time no longer exists, but the perception of thinking is still active. This feeling is very contradictory.
Fortunately, the blank period did not last too long, and system prompts appeared line by line.
[It is detected that the power of breaking boundaries is trying to break through the barriers in the challenge field]
[This power exceeds the strength limit of the domain barrier and is an emergency situation]
[Emergency strength supplement and replacement plan with corresponding effects are in progress]
[The estimated adjustment time is 10 minutes. This time is the time when the time definition in thinking perception does not affect the field and the overall challenge]
[As compensation, you can choose two from the following compensation options as the final plan]
…
The system subtitles stopped abruptly here, making Zong Shen's heart skip a beat.
This situation is indeed due to the lack of preparation of the lord system.
Maybe other lords cannot break through the expectations of the lord system, but Zong Shen can always bring some small surprises to it. No matter how omniscient and omnipotent the lord system is, it is ultimately a universal system, based on every lord rather than serving Zong Shen exclusively.
so
After a pause, a new system prompt was refreshed.
[Compensation option 1: Reduce the overall difficulty of this challenge by 30%. This adjustment will not affect the score]
[Compensation option 2: An opportunity to obtain an increased settlement reward, with an increase ratio ranging from 10% to 50% index floating]
[Compensation option 3: End this challenge directly, and settle rewards based on 65% completion rate]
[Compensation option 4: You can take out three trophies of any level from this challenge]
[Compensation option 5: A dark orc wonder-level recruitment totem]
[Compensation selection 6: 150 points can be allocated free attribute points]
[Compensation option 7: 10 million dinars and a universal upgrade permission to upgrade items or buildings]
[Compensation choice 8: Random super-level skill x1]
Fortunately, the lord system is somewhat conscientious, and it also provides several compensation plans for him to choose from.
If you choose two out of nine, there will be more room for choice.
Then he stopped adjusting, and Zong Shen started making selections directly.
Compensation 1 is eliminated first. The Zong who holds a big killing weapon does not need to lower the difficulty.
The performance of the Great Demon Artorius is surprising, but all situations are still under Zong Shen's control.
The black light trying to break through the domain barrier was most likely a trick of interdimensional projection or summoning.
It started the Nirvana Ceremony through the altar and sacrificed the souls of those Black Muscle Clan warriors.
You must know that the quality of this batch of dead souls is not bad, and there are many fifth- and sixth-level high-level warriors among them. In terms of the quality of the dead souls alone, it is still very good.
These dark orc warriors reproduced and descended by the Lord System are complete, but their attributes and comprehensive combat power have been fine-tuned according to the challenge standards.
They are all living beings of flesh and blood in this world, and naturally they also have unique souls.
The dead souls will also be left behind after death. In fact, the dead souls and the soul are not the same concept.
The more appropriate term for the dead soul is the remnant soul, which is the wandering and withering soul. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be seen or touched, but there are many necromancy spells that can use the power of the dead soul.
Some dead souls with heavier resentments and deeper willpower can even remain for a long time and become wronged souls. Just like the little dead ghost Kim that Zong Shen saw back then, he showed up full of resentment and asked Zong Shen to help save the victim.
Little Uriah trapped in the ruins of the cellar.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, the great demon Artorius can take advantage of the loopholes in the lord system where the power of the dead souls here belongs.
After this force gathers, it tries to break down the domain barriers and attract powerful demonic projections or clones.
If such an operation happened in the Endless Continent, it would be nothing.
Didn't the Goblin Chief cross-border and summon the projection of the Outer God Cthulhu?
But this is not an endless continent, this is an independent realm created by the lord system specifically for challenges.
If that black beam of light breaks through the domain barrier, it is likely to have a series of chain reactions, such as a large number of lords' exclusive challenge areas being affected by space shocks, different unexpected situations, etc.
Therefore, the lord system must be patched urgently to interrupt the process of the black light beam breaking through the domain barrier.
Use an alternative method to directly eliminate the black beam of light and put the projection or clone it summoned into the field. This will not affect the methods and changes after Artorius appears, because this itself is Zong Shen's arrangement.
, the lord system cannot be wiped out across the board, which is unfair to Zong Shen.
However, it cannot allow the black beam of light to break through the field barrier, so it can only make adjustments and try not to affect Zong Shen's defensive challenge. On this basis, it is reasonable for it to give certain compensation.
Whoever is at fault will deal with it. Zong Shen, as the passive bearer, should be rewarded.
After thinking about it for a while, he directly ruled out [compensation option 1].
The next [Compensation Option 2] made him a little bit interested. It can increase the challenge settlement reward by 10% to 50%. There is a range here. If you are lucky, you can increase the reward by half. If you are not lucky, you can also increase the settlement reward.
The guaranteed increase is 10%.
Therefore, [Compensation Option 2] is included in the pending options, waiting for his further consideration.
The next one was [Compensation Option 3]. He didn't even consider it. He completed the challenge directly and settled the reward based on a score of 65%. This was also a very uneconomical option for Zong Shen.
However, if [Compensation Option 2] and [Compensation Option 3] are combined, it is very possible to get the effect of free prostitution, that is, Zong Shen does not need to continue to complete the defensive challenge, and still has a chance to get 75% to 115% of the reward settlement.
But this plan was just something he had thought about, and for Zong Shen it still didn't meet his expectations.
The next [Compensation Option 4] also made him a little excited. This compensation option allows him to bring out three items from the defensive challenge.
There is a lot of knowledge here. He can capture the weapons and equipment of Black Bug Demon Blood, Lickfire Calrig, Thorodo Red Bone, and Mogroga Black Rib. The weapons they use are somewhat different.
If you take it out with your name, you will definitely make money without losing money.
In addition, there are also wonder-level clan buildings in various dark orc camps.
It's a spectacle, no joke. Just take a few of them out and they will come in handy.
In fact, the above two points are only the basic operations based on this compensation selection. There is also a side operation that is the most profitable!
This side operation is related to the great demon Artorius.
Zong Shen noticed that Artorius had two special skills among his active skills.
They are [Artorius's Blood-Burning Spear] and [Artorius's Final Shield]. These two skills require Artorius to consume 50,000 health points to condense a blood-burning spear and a terminal shield.
shield.
Both weapons can be kept for a long time and have the same durability as forged equipment.
The grade is fixed at the rare level, but the attributes are not low, especially the weapon with the [Blood Burning] effect.
Zong Shen now knows where the blood-burning arrow he got came from.
Only legendary level demons can condense blood-burning weapons by consuming health points, and the concentration interval is longer. War spears and war shields have a 100-year cooldown. The concentration interval for arrows and the like should be shorter.
, but it is definitely calculated on an annual basis.
Needless to say, the domineering power of blood-burning weapons. If Artorius can condense the blood-burning spear and terminal shield, Zong Shen will definitely make a profit. The characteristics of blood-burning weapons are so overbearing that even in the Balrog Challenge
Even the regional BOSS and the giant Balrog cannot resist the damage of [Burning Blood].
This shows that the [Burning Blood] damage judgment has a very high priority, surpassing most conventional attack methods. Judging from Artorius’s two condensed skills, weapons with [Burning Blood] effects
Also very precious.
The only thing he had on hand now was the blood-burning arrow that was so damaged that it could be used again at most.
In addition, there was a blood-burning dagger found in the ruins of the underground fortress in Azshara's sewers. The dagger also had many cracks and was obviously not used a few times.
According to the priority of blood-burning damage, there are still many places where Zong Shen can use it in the future.
And if he brings out [Artorius's Blood-Burning Spear] and [Artorius's Final Shield], he will have one more chance to bring out items before considering the Dark Orc Clan Leader's weapons or wonders.
Level clan building.
But although he released the great demon Artorius from [Solomon's Forbidden Disk (Legend)], that guy would never obey its orders, so there is still a question mark as to whether this plan can succeed.
Let’s put [Compensation Option 4] into the candidate list first.
The nine compensation options gave him a variety of choices. He had to be cautious. Making good use of these two compensation options could completely increase the final settlement reward of the defensive challenge to a higher level.
The following [Compensation Choice 5], [Compensation Choice 6], [Compensation Choice 7], and [Compensation Choice 8] did not interest him much.
[Compensation option 5] is to give him a totem building that can recruit dark orcs, similar to the [Wildhoof Totem (gold)] he got from the centaur Wildhoof tribe, maybe a higher level.
It's a pity that he is not interested in the dark orcs' arms. These black-skinned orcs look big and thick.
Even the female dark orc warriors among them are not good-looking, not as good as the orc girls from the Endless Continent.
Green-skinned orc girls are also more pleasing to the eye than black-skinned orc girls. For example, Garona in Chen Rui's territory is the ultimate beauty among green-skinned orc girls. As long as she is aesthetically acceptable, she can still enjoy happiness.
As for the beast-eared girls in Aze's territory, it's even better. No one can look down on these black-skinned orcs in terms of emotion, reason, publicity or private life.
[Compensation Choice 6] is even more speechless: 150 points of assignable attributes, equivalent to three high-level attribute fruits.
But he doesn't need attribute compensation. After completing this challenge, he can also gain 180 points of strength attribute through [Strength Extraction]. These 150 points are not worth mentioning by the standards of a legendary level strongman.
.
To put it bluntly, Zong Shen is not lacking in these attributes. Instead of choosing attribute compensation for a one-shot deal, it is better to focus on the calculated rewards of the increased defense challenge. This is a big challenge, and the richness of the rewards is definitely the highest standard for previous challenges.
There are plenty of opportunities to improve attributes, but the defensive challenge for these lords is only once.
So for both options, you can PASS directly without hesitation!
