After this server suspension update, there are gradually more new things happening in Punk City.
First, a group of players riding big horses swaggered through the city, taking a 'pretend' trip across the city. Then the first player with a magic pet appeared in the city, causing a huge sensation. Many players and even NPCs went to the microcosm.
.
After this update, the door frame of the mount mission has not been lowered. Players still need to complete the blocked prerequisite missions and slowly gain the favorability and merit of the Centaur Ranch before they can redeem it. However, the "Horse Card" appears and is released every day.
A batch of auctions were held on the auction channel, but the mounts appeared on a large scale in advance. Many rich people who were not short of money spent a lot of money and finally bid farewell to the embarrassment of the No. 11 bus and had a popular mount for transportation.
Under such circumstances, every horse tag naturally aroused fierce competition. The final transaction price was enough to buy several Ferrari luxury supercars in reality. Players who own mounts have naturally become synonymous with rich people. Riding on a horse means riding a horse.
On a pile of glittering gold medals, it became a genuine business card.
In view of this, some small guilds that are eager to become famous will also use crowdfunding to bid for a horse. The president will ride on it and gather together to show off in the market, taking the opportunity to advertise and show their financial strength.
As for the magic pet, that is another narrative.
Demon pets do not have horse cards and rely purely on luck.
After this update, each player has an additional general life skill [Capture], and an additional prop [Lasso] sold in a Class A system black shop. Refer to the capture method of offline turn-based games. If you encounter in the wild,
When you find a special monster such as a certain monster baby, you can use the [Capture] skill and [Lasso] to try your luck.
Of course, the probability is very, very low.
Demon pets with a high probability are still found in several resource points on the Alpha plane. The [Ghost Bat] and [Ptreme Flame Bird] that have been discovered have become places where players must try their luck every day. [Ghost Bat] and
[Extreme Flame Bird] babies are 'refreshed' immediately. Some players spend a lot of money to hire tourists to guard them all day long. Once they find signs of being refreshed, they will teleport away.
Don't be surprised if you encounter such players. They are often upgrading my monster spawning one second, and then abandon their teammates and half-spawned monsters the next second, and run like crazy towards the teleportation zone in the safe area. The system master
The city and various safety zones have become common scenes.
Once you have a magic pet, you still need to raise it to adulthood, train it, use the system's newly launched 'Happy Bean' to cultivate its favorability and compatibility, and find ways to let it realize its own talents and skills.
...It's just like having an extra mouth to feed, which is more worrying and tiring than raising a child, but the players enjoy it endlessly.
Magic pet babies can be bought and sold freely, and you can get them if you catch one. Especially the Extreme Flame Bird, which caused a sensation in the entire punk city. It was a small Extreme Flame Bird that surrounded a player, just like a ball of bright red flames.
, flying around in an extremely agile manner, making the players who saw it beat their chests and feet with envy and jealousy, scratching their hearts and lungs, and only regretted that they didn't have one.
Mounts and familiars are the main game features launched in this test, and were not fully released until this time.
Demon pets need to be cultivated, and the improvement of players' strength cannot be immediate. However, the lifting of the combat power system allows players to have a clear and intuitive understanding of their own and other people's strength.
Now when players in Punk City meet, a popular saying is: How powerful are you in combat?
There is also an authoritative standard for judging quarrels and appointments. A trash with less than 1,000 combat power is so good. If I have a combat power of 3,000, I am awesome... and so on.
The gold medal bonus for combat effectiveness rating is 1000, and the silver medal has no bonus. The equipment rating has the highest weight, and the basic attributes have the lowest weight, because most players are similar. The basic attributes of the equipment bonus are not counted, and each level up is 2 points.
Free attributes are still compared to levels.
Finally, there is the arena rating.
The arena trial version has been built in the main cities of Buck and Punk systems. One is located outside Buck City, on a hill in the southwest corner of the Mage Tower. It uses space distortion and maze techniques, and places hundreds of small love balls.
A thread can accommodate hundreds of players competing on the same stage at the same time.
The steps are generally as follows: if you are alone, you will be randomly matched. The system will pair up players who are matching at the same time according to similar strengths, and then transfer them to an arena. In the arena, the players' levels will be unified to level 20, and their equipment will be all.
The same whiteboard, no special effects, what is tested is everyone's combat awareness and skills.
The victor gets 5 points, and the loser also gets 2 points. The ranking is determined by the score. The top 100 have combat power +200, the top 500 have +100, the top 1000 have +50, and there is no combat power bonus after 1000.
Compared with the combat power score brought by gold medals and equipment, the maximum bonus of 200 is a bit small. However, considering that it is only one turn now and the magic network is only on the fourth level, in order to leave enough space for adjustment, we can only
Tried these first.
Trial version!
Team competition does not test individual strength, but team awareness and cooperation.
This type of competition requires forming a team in advance. Of course, teams can also be randomly matched, but each person can do this.
After forming the team, find the NPC in the arena to start queuing up. The system will pair up the two teams that have completed the preparation. They also have the same level and equipment. The two teams of 10 players will fight each other in a larger arena. One team will
Total destruction is the criterion for victory or defeat.
However, can people with high combat effectiveness definitely defeat those with low combat effectiveness?
The answer is not necessarily.
There are too many factors that affect the outcome of the battle. For example, a gold medal player in the past became lazy and regressed, and the 1,000 combat power bonus was a lot false. A silver medal player learned his shame and became brave, and practiced hard. Without this 1,000
Rating, there is no false mark. Although the combat effectiveness is lower than that of gold medal players, they can often beat the former in actual combat.
There is also equipment.
The bonus of the equipment is too high. Although I don’t know how the formula is converted, no matter how powerful the equipment is, it still depends on whether it is suitable for use. If a top-level blue equipment does not have a high bonus to PK, it really may not necessarily have a top-level green one.
It can be used with PK equipment, which is an ordinary green equipment with a single attribute, such as one with [Paralysis] special effect. It can also defeat many flashy items.
Ratings do not represent the entire strength, but only part of it.
It just allows the system and players to have a more realistic and intuitive evaluation method beyond the level, that's all.
Of course, the cloak and enhancement system corresponding to combat power have not yet been launched. Players feel that apart from an additional way to show off and show off, there are not many changes in other aspects.
Again, the difference comes from comparison. During the fifth test, some adjustments must be made in this regard.
In fact, some rumors have been revealed on the official website. The combat power system is only a glimpse. Players generally have a premonition that there will be big moves in the future, so they pay great attention to it.
Improve your own rating and improve your combat effectiveness. Once the arena was launched, it became very prosperous. There was a lot of noise outside the arena in Punk City all day long. It was considered a new scene in the city.
The third obvious change is that there are fewer idle players, and the taste of laziness and leisure is gone. Those idle and idle players in player shops and NPC shops are almost extinct. Even life and leisure players have completed tasks and spawned monsters.
, I picked up the main process of upgrading and joined the vigorous leveling army.
The most intuitive change is that the number of players in the city has decreased, and everyone is in a hurry. Some flashy props and DIY equipment with no attributes have become less popular and have begun to fall in price. However, Aunt Xue’s pancakes have become
The food is more popular, has no toxins, and can slightly increase health and stamina. It is high-quality and low-priced. Many families and guilds come to her to talk about mass customization.
"Let me tell you, let me tell you, Mom, this business has a great future. Opportunity, this is an opportunity, and it will never happen again in the future."
At this stage, there are not many tourists engaged in catering, and even fewer have one or two competitive products. However, this thing basically has no door frame. If you try it a few times, you will not be able to make a meal that is not poisonous and has added attributes.
Even if the player tries a few more times and has more patience and time, it's not impossible to do it, but time and patience are scarce now.
There is only so much game time, so there are no fewer things to do, and there are always choices to make.
This is the opportunity for tourist players like Aunt Xue.
"You can open a store..."
The mother and daughter were worried about how to cross the first threshold of opening a store, but the problem was soon solved.
"Big event, big event, the system will build several new main cities, including Luke City in the direction of Rock Fortress, York City in the direction of Fairy Forest, and Piccolo City further north than Buck City... So many new system masters
Cheng, must be preparing for the fifth test."
"I've heard it too. The official website just posted the news. The Rock Fortress is to the south, the Fairy Forest is to the east, and the direction of Buck City is to the north. What's to the west?"
"Several neutral camp cities were discovered in the west. They seemed to be camps for abandoned residents. I saw the senior NPC Yaris leading people to interact with them frequently. The day before yesterday, there was a caravan and a delegation that came to the town of Chenxi Town. It was probably
There’s a plot going on…”
"Wow, what a big scene, it feels like the world view is about to expand."
"Well, with so many main cities in the system, everyone no longer has to keep an eye on Punk City. There will be no shortage of stores, and there is no need to flatter these NPCs anymore."
Some tourists who had the same plans as Aunt Xue gathered together to discuss. They all had the same skills as her. It was considered a small circle. Xie Xiaomeng was still in contact with this circle offline. They met in the game and had gatherings several times.
A piece of news updated on the party's official website aroused everyone's enthusiasm. A tourist player brewed a brew that could temporarily stimulate potential and increase basic attributes by a percentage. The excited beast's face turned red and he danced with gestures, "This is our opportunity.
Everyone, hurry up and save money, and when the fifth test comes, all the hard work will be rewarded."
"Yes, yes, I finally don't have to be squeezed by players and NPCs. I will resign now and go out on my own!"
"And me!"
"Me too!"
"Twenty thousand a month, bah, this little money is spent on a beggar!"
"They just bullied us because we didn't understand anything at first...how to say liquidated damages?"
"Give it to him, I won't do anything anymore."
"Yes, yes, time waits for no one!"
"Let's break up, let's break up. Come on, everyone, you will definitely be able to do a great job in the game in the future."
After the party, Aunt Xue thought about it, finally gritted her teeth, and found a job as the player shop owner, and submitted her resignation.
The player's shop owner seems to have expected it. During this period, he has also developed several similar dishes and released them. His attitude is more detached and he has confidence in his mind.
The technical door frame is too low. Compared to tourists like them, this player shop owner is the forerunner. I heard that he has already planned to open a fourth branch.
It's easy to talk, but you signed the contract at the beginning, and the liquidated damages cannot be less. Aunt Xue did the math, not to mention all the salary she received, plus the income from working alone for so long, it was considered
I have worked for so long for nothing, taking away all my hard-earned money.
After paying the 'redemption money', I only had 10 silver left with me and a pancake stand. Fortunately, I had an order in hand, so I didn't have to worry about selling.
There is no need to go out to work anymore. The remaining game time is not even enough to complete the orders of the family and guild. I have made more than 200 pieces in total, which is more tiring than in reality.
As soon as the levels were released, everything skyrocketed, and the price of pancakes also increased to 3 coppers each, but the profits actually decreased.
It’s not that Aunt Xue doesn’t want to go higher, 3 coppers is already the highest price that most players can accept. If it’s more, they would rather not eat it, or buy the kind of unpalatable and poisonous pig food from the black system store. Anyway,
Just reduce the hunger value.
It's strange to say that these people are weird. Thousands and tens of thousands for a meal offline is nothing. In the game, you are picking up one coin after another. They are extremely sensitive to price, especially if there is a better one, you can tolerate it without it.
thing.
After going offline, I was too tired to move. Xie Xiaomeng came back and listened to her talk about the things in the game, and then thoughtfully went to cook by herself.
After she recovered, Xie Xiaomeng brought a notebook and said seriously: "Mom, there is only one solution, innovation."
"Create what?"
"We can't just make pancakes anymore. Ah, no, we can't be satisfied with making white quality pancakes. We have to make green, blue, or even purple ones. We can no longer aim at taste, but at attributes."
"ah!?"
"What players care about most is not the taste, but the attributes. Look at this... This is a green quality food posted online. In addition to hunger and physical recovery, it also has a mental +2 gain effect within 2 hours. It costs 1 silver each.
Demand exceeds supply."
"Ah, 1 silver?"
"Yes, the unit price is more than 33 times that of ours. It cannot be made casually. It requires repeated experiments. Once it is made, it will be an exclusive secret recipe... Mom, it is an exclusive secret recipe. No one can learn it.
A real cornucopia.”
Aunt Xue was very excited when she was told that she knew the secret recipe so well because there were many references in reality.
"So, you can put it off when opening a store, and you don't have to save the money you make. You can use it all to buy materials, do experiments, and try again and again. You can always make something green or above... Green may not be enough, you need blue.
, Purple, you need to have your own secret skills, so that you won’t be afraid of competition from others, even if there is a public beta test in the future, you won’t be afraid.”
