It was a great surprise to discover the ancient battlefield.
In this way, the biggest problem will be solved.
Time was running out, and Shao Bing didn't have time to organize people to explore the new map. He hurriedly selected the outskirts of the new map, where there were Silent Portraits (LV2), Painful Portraits (LV3), and Roaring Portraits (LV4), and set up the address of the newcomer's copy.
, and organized manpower to work overtime to transport the construction materials needed for the dungeon.
I heard that there is a new map and Du Shiyu is here too.
"How about it, our great scientist, what can be exploited by this new monster?"
On the alchemy test bench that was unfolded on site, a silent figure was cut into eight pieces, and specimens were extracted from each part for Du Shiyu, an alchemist, to study their composition. "We don't know yet," she said.
After removing the hardest layer of stone skin on the chest shell, what is exposed is a dark red, solidified, human-like body structure and bones.
"Is it a human being?" the alchemist assistant said in surprise.
"It should be a humanoid creature, not necessarily a human being." Du Shiyu operated on the viscera and bones of the specimen without changing her expression. Wearing enchanted alchemy gloves, she carefully took out what looked like a heart from the chest cavity.
, the 'heart' displayed in front of everyone is like a pomegranate, which is composed of multiple ventricles.
The human heart is like a fist, but it looks like a strange thing with multiple tumors growing together, which is very scary.
"Then build, build two cities, one upper city and one lower city. Only our own people can enter the lower city. The upper city is open to all players and forces. What do you think?"
"Haha, good times are yet to come."
Once the temple is settled, there is no need to worry about their mission system.
As the solution continued to drip in, red, blue, and green lights emitted from the container. Looking inside, the specimen had melted and turned into a sticky, black-red-black stuff.
Let’s talk about Shao Bing.
"Luck, luck!"
Moreover, in the depths of the northernmost part, the system also uses several bright red question marks and bold red circles to mark it to prohibit current players from approaching.
"I feel this is the most suitable place!" Du Shiyu insisted, "We can't stay underground forever, right? We will have to face it sooner or later."
A management question.
But looking at the new map marked by the system, Shao Bing seriously suspected that this new map called the Ancient Battlefield might be larger than the entire game area.
"What our great scientists said is right. How can we not take any risks? Chun Shui, we have all hid in places like this where birds don't poop. If the war angel comes patrolling, we will admit it."
Du Shiyu sent away the excited people and reported the discovery of the new map of the ancient battlefield to the Alchemy Association. The relevant news will soon spread among the players. After hearing about it, many alchemists said they would draw it as soon as possible.
Willingness to take a trip once in a while.
"Uh..." Shao Bing was stunned when he heard this. He weighed it for a moment and said decisively, "Build, anyway, this mage tower will be built sooner or later... but this place is not safe. It would be better if it was in an underground cave."
It was very bitter and astringent, but there was a very refreshing stimulation that rushed straight to her forehead, shaking her spirit.
There was no time to worry about so much, so the city address of the upper city was quickly determined. At the price of 100 platinum coins, a 'base car' was exchanged from the system and the [Heart of the City] was placed at this address.
"Spring water, we have sent it!"
After that comes the Novice Village leveling area and dungeon.
A player who was watching the unfolding of the "base car" sighed: "Only at this time did I feel that I was playing a game."
"Let you guess it correctly, it is not a human being, but a sub-human intelligent species that is older than humans. It existed about 15,000 to 8,000 years ago. It was later corroded by unknown energy and petrified to form this kind of walking corpse.
A monster like that.”
"Yes, let's do it."
"Ah, can you still find the year in alchemy? Isn't this archaeology?"
"No matter what it is, at least the power is good, and maybe it has a T," a manager who was watching the alchemy experiment said jokingly.
It can't be compared with the lower city, which is empty, and the tool NPC, system functions and task system have to be moved here.
Shao Bing was also grinning from ear to ear, "My luck is good in one aspect, but sometimes it's too troublesome."
"Now we don't have to worry about running out of trade routes."
Just like getting commissions for business promotion, the members of the gang who support Tias's settlement will be rewarded with tasks afterwards. This is included in the faith contribution. If it is exclusive and Tias is allowed to monopolize this novice village, the gang members will receive commissions.
Believers of Yas also receive special rewards.
But weapons and armor were all turned to stone.
Looking at the number of low-level monsters like this, it's impossible for a newcomer to clean them out even without the system's intervention.
——Unknown existence, unknown will is watching you
This is the novice village of Guards City.
As for whether all newcomers born in this novice village will become followers of Tias, that depends on their abilities.
Mud is just mud, and rocks are rocks. How come they have attributes when they are fired like this?
She spent the next few days studying this matter.
"Really, that's great!" Shao Bing laughed happily. The new map has such benefits. The first kill reward is still secondary, new resources, new recipes, new output...
…
"Didn't Tias, the goddess of harvest, get the most votes in the vote? Let's use this temple, right? Spring Water?"
Like Du Shiyu, she relies less and less on the system. In the past, she didn’t know what to do without the system prompts. Now she has clear goals and steps.
Including the 97-layer abyss.
Thinking of the chaos offline, Shao Bing shuddered inexplicably and didn't want to stay in this evil place.
Who are they, why did they become like this, what did they go through during their lives, and what stories and secrets are hidden in them?
Du Shiyu's curiosity was raised to the top when he was contacted by the reminder of the ancient battlefield.
The official religion is Tias, can they be "in the wild"? With an altar, a few priests, and a few sets of mission systems, it's not troublesome. There are also leading party members in the gang to help, and we quickly determined who is in Xinshou Village.
address.
She broke into the warning range of several silent statues, and these petrified humanoid monsters staggered around. Their attack methods were also very simple. Their weapons were hard limbs. Occasionally, some were wearing clothes or weird armor.
The portrait, that should be the elite. The elite has weapons in their hands, and the style of the weapons is also very strange. The sword is curved, the arrow is cross-shaped, and the back of the sword has serrations like shark teeth...
If this was a quarter of an hour ago, who would have said to build two cities, Shao Bing would definitely spit in his face, but isn't this a new map discovered? It is like a treasure. Who knows how much profit is hidden in it?
"Damn it, yesterday we were worried about not having enough rice to cook the pot, but today we have the luxury of buying two sets of courtyard houses. Isn't this changing too fast?"
"Celebrate it, Chunshui, celebrate it!"
Facts have proven that the System Temple is unwilling to lag behind in the battle for faith.
Shao Bing pretended not to hear it when he heard it. When the outline of the city wall changed from virtual to solid, he took the lead to walk towards the city gate.
Du Shiyu waited for them to be happy and said, "I want to build a laboratory here, preferably a mage tower..."
This involves a conflict of interests between different believers, a bunch of nonsense. Shao Bing doesn't want to pay attention to it, "Since the vote is like this, let's do it according to the results of the vote."
"Well..." Shao Bing became embarrassed.
"We'll celebrate later," Shao Bing said before he was completely dizzy. "We'll finish the eighth test first and then we'll talk about it. It's only a few days away. It's important to build the novice village as soon as possible."
Although they are all low-level monsters that are not worth mentioning, isn't this a non-renewable resource?
In the game area, first kills were rare, but they were not unheard of.
After that, Du Shiyu successively discovered powders in other cooking pots that could speed up the recovery of injuries, poison people, and make people comatose. He checked the materials used to make these 'potions' and found no abnormalities.
But since the 6th beta, players and tourists have come online in large numbers. They are really like locusts. Wherever they go, let alone the first kill, you are very lucky to get a second or third kill.
Du Shiyu got rid of these silent figures, came to the bonfire they had just lit, looked at the layer of black stuff cooking in the stone pot, pinched a little powder with his fingers, and boldly put it into his mouth to taste it.
taste.
The Ancient Battlefield and the Land of Forgotten is obviously just a part of this vast, new map. Because it is a dark area, it adds countless mysteries and unknowns. It is this infinite mystery and unknown that makes many people like Du Shiyu join it.
"By the way, Chunshui, have you confirmed the patron saint?"
This is also the first income received by Novice Village, the rent from the ‘opposition’ temple.
"This can be done like this. The underground part will be used as the nest, and the above ground part can be abandoned at the appropriate time to build two cities. What do you think?"
Du Shiyu ignored such useless words, handed the test paper to Shao Bing, and said: "The heart can be used as a catalyst for most medicines, and can also be used as the main and auxiliary materials. Maybe we can experiment with new formulas."
…
If you don't defend your home, there will be many people who want to come and build the city, and there will be no place to cry when the time comes.
The 8th test is about to begin, and the discovery of the new map has made all the work done before in vain, and I have to start all over again. I am so busy that I wish I could work alone as two people.
"With this new map, are you afraid that it will lose popularity and people will squeeze in here even if they don't cut their heads?"
He is not as 'leisurely' as Du Shiyu, he has been almost crazy busy these days.
The three low-level monsters are much more useful than skeletons, zombies and slimes.
Most of the new maps still need to be protected. When you have free time, organize the best people in the gang to go out and explore. Only in this way can the benefits be maximized.
"Isn't it appropriate for Novice Village to be placed in the lower city?"
Du Shiyu took out a little melted substance, put it into a shallow beaker, and tested its value with something that looked like paper.
Now, unlike before, instant communication can be achieved around the clock and regardless of distance. Friends far away can only communicate through letters. Unless a hugely expensive dedicated communication array is set up, online synchronized collaborative experiments are not something that even the Alchemy Association can do.
It can be done if it is done.
"I sometimes think that our system is also a god."
The head of the Hall of Fame said happily.
Just when the mission system was settled and Shao Bing was passing through the tool NPC one by one according to the "script outline", the priests from all the major temples in the system came one by one.
After confirming the faith of Novice Village, there is no need to worry about the rest. Tias' church will naturally settle in, so there is no need to doubt their efficiency in this regard.
There is a burnt smell everywhere in the air, like a zombie, stubbornly moving along a certain trajectory.
"Game?" Another sneered, "Anyone who still thinks so is either a fool or pretending to be a fool!"
Du Shiyu ignored it and concentrated on her work once she entered the working state. She put the thing that looked like a heart into a special container and dropped various alchemical solutions into it. After each drop of one, she stopped and observed for more than ten seconds, using her hands.
Like a precision scale, it controls how much solution is dropped.
"Haha, I understand, I understand, I know the story of growing old overnight!"
Perhaps this is a sign of deepening immersion.
If you enlarge this running timeline to ten thousand years, what you see before you will be incredible.
A castle slightly smaller than the lower city spread out on this white land.
Silent figures wander around, they can also make camps, light bonfires, set up pots, and throw mud, bones and other things into them.
Just like what Du Shiyu is doing now, the system has no requirements and no tasks. It is completely out of interest and consciousness.
"Tear them all down and bring them to the upper city."
"Don't say it anymore, don't say it anymore!"
This discovery excited her. It turned out that they were particular about the soil and stones they threw inside.
"Haha, we have to deploy the base vehicle again."
The system functions seem to have degraded, but the gameplay and interest level have increased. The time scale has been stretched, and players generally feel that it has become more fulfilling.
Du Shiyu didn't care about this. He experimented and found out that the Painful Portrait can be used. The eyes of the Painful Portrait can be used as basic consumables for enchantment, adding a certain amount of mental resistance and protection to the equipment. The tongue and cerebellum of the Roaring Portrait can be used as equipment and props for the bard.
It can be used, but it requires a new formula, which requires a lot of experiments to use.
But in order to protect this non-renewable resource, it is short-sighted to kill the goose to lay eggs. It is better to circle it and let the system set it as a copy, using the infinite refresh mechanism to let new people practice.
Time was tight and there was no time to find the BOSS of the new map, so Shao Bing picked up the level 9 zombie general from the gang copy, put it into the newcomer leveling area under construction, set the drops, and handed over the dropped materials in advance.
Give the system an algorithm and nothing will happen.
For a long time, newcomers will hang out in the novice village, changing jobs, and getting jobs. It is not until their second job that they can truly grow up and adapt to the real game atmosphere.
Novice Village is just a baby, a greenhouse. The flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain. The real enemy is far from being as simple as the refreshed monsters.
The days passed in busyness.
Before you know it, the day for newbies to log in for the 8th beta has arrived.
