After walking straight on the avenue for a while, everyone came to the first open area. In the center, there were several monsters sitting around a bonfire. They seemed to be some kind of goblins or goblins.
Compared with the monsters of the same race seen near the cabin in the forest, the ones in this area obviously have stronger bodies and sophisticated armors and weapons. The scars on their faces or bodies also show that they have been on the battlefield for a long time.
However, it has nothing to do with the dragon clan. They should be just ordinary roadblocks. After seeing them, Ai Xueer, who was at the front, raised her hand and fired an arrow, not caring about issues such as hatred value.
Naturally, Yang Ming and Lesia followed closely behind, and began to attack the monsters from a distance by throwing iron balls and pistols respectively. Before they could stand up and charge here, most of them had been eliminated.
The firepower is quite sufficient. When the opponent's long-range units are ready to attack, all monsters will be killed.
The next step is to collect cutting drops. This part is taken care of by Ai Xueer, while Yang Ming and Lesia patrol the surroundings, collecting some herbs on the roadside. The amount of these materials given in the advanced copy can be said to be generous.
Collect the materials into the compressor or Ai Xueer's inventory, and the group continues to head to the next location.
From this time on, the originally wide road became even wider, with many forks and paths that could be walked on.
But it will not affect Ai Xueer's traveling speed at all. This time the map does not seem to contain random elements like before, and the route can be memorized completely from memory.
Thinking about it, most of the previous dungeon maps were small and precise, and you could quickly find the correct answer by just trying a few times.
But it's different now. In addition to the map size being obviously much larger, there is another most critical factor. This team copy can accommodate several times more people than before.
To take care of so many players, the maze itself must not be made too complex, otherwise some people will not be able to keep up.
With Ai Xueer, an experienced player, leading the way, the efficiency can be said to be very high, and most of the time is wasted on collecting materials.
Regarding such tedious steps, Yang Ming couldn't help but ask Ai Xueer during the rush:
"When you play games, do you also collect materials in this way?"
"That's not true, because it's a team and needs to consider distribution issues. The system usually collects automatically and randomly selects players by throwing dice."
Ai Xueer thought for a while and added,
"Of course, if it involves occupation-limited situations such as equipment, players of the corresponding occupation will usually be given a higher weight to increase the dice points."
Yang Ming's team neither needs equipment nor is it a stranger and does not need to consider distribution issues. The information she mentioned is actually useless at first glance, but...
"Then why do we collect this material manually?"
Yang Ming asked in confusion.
"That's to increase the sense of reality, haha."
Ai Xueer suddenly turned her head, walked backwards with her back to the road, and smiled stupidly.
Yang Ming suddenly realized it and said:
"So this is a setting you added yourself?"
"Yes, I have actually canceled all the system-level things and replaced them with settings that I think are more realistic."
Listening to what she said, many gameplay methods in this world are actually very different from the original game.
Thinking about it, even the interface for entering the dungeon reading progress can be greatly reduced until it disappears, so that the body feels that there is no such process. Then some settings have changed to another style type, which is also a normal operation.
.
If this is the case, many things can be explained clearly. Thinking of the doubts just now, why not take the opportunity to ask now? Yang Ming raised his finger and pointed to the moon in the sky and asked:
"Hmm...did the appearance of that place also change according to your own preferences?"
Logically speaking, she can change all the details at will according to her mood. It should be very easy to change the style of the game model just by changing the texture.
"Huh? What are you talking about...the moon?!"
Unexpectedly, when Ai Xueer looked at the sky, she was quite confused at first. When she realized the problem, her eyes suddenly widened and she said in confusion,
"What's going on? Why did the moon turn blue?"
Unexpectedly, she really didn't notice the change of the moon just now, but there is really no need to pay special attention to such a common thing. Yang Ming only discovered it when he happened to pay attention.
Of course, the real serious problem is not here. It stands to reason that the area where the group of people is located has always been Ai Xueer's dream. In theory, everything should be under her control.
However, now there is a situation that is completely out of control. This is no joke. Combined with the burst of space teleportation effects when everyone passed through the gate just now, things seem to be developing in some uncontrollable direction.
"This shouldn't be due to the background setting of the game, right?"
Seeing that Ai Xueer was obviously at a loss, Yang Ming tried to ask some topics that could change things.
"Isn't it?"
She said uncertainly,
"In my impression, the Blue Dragon should not have this kind of plot development. How could it find trouble to change the shape of the moon?"
Since she said this, it shows that the possibility is not zero. At this time, we can only guide in the direction of comforting our mood. Yang Ming continued to ask:
"You mean, if the boss wants to do this, he can't do it?"
Ai Xueer stopped and concentrated on the conversation. She nodded in affirmation and said:
"Yes, as I said before, its ability is 'mind control'. If we use that level of power, it would not be very difficult just to make us think that the moon has changed on a visual level."
Yang Ming repeatedly emphasized that he should deal with changes in external rules according to his own wishes, mainly to strengthen Ai Xueer's understanding and prepare her for this kind of thinking, so he continued on this topic:
"Since you can explain it in this way, how about we just assume that it really did this in advance? After all, it is a powerful boss. The fact that it can do this also shows that it is qualified enough to be attacked by us.
"
"Well...it's not impossible to set it up this way."
Ai Xueer was silent for a while, and finally agreed with this statement. She continued to add,
"But this also shows that the blue dragon discovered our traces the moment we stepped into the advanced dungeon and cast illusions, which caused us to change our view of the things around us. This kind of different level design is quite magical.
.”
In her tone, Yang Ming did not hear any negative elements. Instead, there was something more positive, such as joy, excitement and other emotions brewing.
