Chapter 142 141. Development Log: Dungeon Sets and "Guarantee" Mechanism
The 32nd hour when the player leaves Transia.
At the underground collapse of the Blood Vulture Corridor, dozens of people drawn from the survivor camp were busy here. They moved boulders to clean the ground and reopened the stairs extending downward inside the intricate corridor.
These workers who work in the corridors can get 1.5 times the labor points of other jobs in the camp every day, and can also enjoy a quite sumptuous lunch at noon. The most important thing is a completely free lunch. Therefore, only the most diligent and loyal people will be
Miriam arranged to work here.
They are also often the most trustworthy.
After all, this is the home of the Blood Vulture Clan. There are many things in it that cannot be known to the outside world. It also adheres to the ancient tradition of vampires and has many strange secret rooms. There are even many places where even Tris and Femis can tell.
Not sure.
For example, this underground warehouse is being opened right now.
Murphy was standing not far away, looking at the place with his hands on his back and a magic sword on his waist.
He looked around and could see the road leading to the cloister's holy blood pool, but it had completely collapsed and was irreparable.
The damage around the Holy Blood Pool Hall was catastrophic, and Murphy had decided to seal off this area as the "dungeon area" that was about to be opened until sufficient manpower was available.
Beside him, the loyal Maxim wore heavy and majestic full plate armor, standing like the shadow of Murphy with two swords on his waist.
He didn't know what his master was waiting for here.
However, at this moment, Maxim seemed to still be immersed in the meeting that had ended long ago. He finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice:
"My master, what kind of magic did you cast? It made your retainers scream and serve you like chicken blood. It only took them half a day to plan the subsequent relocation of the camp.
Done.
Mother of Night, I even saw Portman, who always likes to be smart and lazy, personally leading the camp guards to transport supplies to the ruins of the old city.
It's like he's become a different person
Did you distort his personality?
I know vampires can do this, just like you made the unruly Adele your loyal dog."
"No, he just found the meaning of life. Adele is not my loyal dog. Her soul and personality are independent. I have given her the opportunity to seek freedom. You have to pay attention to the art of speaking, Mark.
Don't cause unnecessary misunderstandings because of language.
As for Mr. Portman's change, it is easy to explain. After more than forty years of mediocrity, he faced for the first time the ambitions and ideals he had set when he was young but had long since been flattened by life."
Murphy said softly:
"Our Mr. Portman is a hedonist. After he rewarded himself severely on an empty and unbearable night when he was twenty years old, he swore to himself in the wise time that he would sleep with at least 99 women in his life.
I just told him that his ambition was pathetic.
I told him that as long as he was willing and his body could bear it, even 999 would not be a problem.
I showed him the possibility of realizing his desires in just six months, you know? Mark.
As long as our territory survives the black disaster, he can live his ideal luxurious life. From this point of view, Mr. Portman is the easiest to satisfy among my retainers.
The real trouble is Aunt Jules.
Her sincerity towards her faith is amazing, and taking advantage of her faith also makes me feel uneasy.
I'm not really unleashing any evil magic, Mark, I'm just unfolding their desires and letting them see their own desires, that's all."
Murphy sighed.
He raised his left hand and looked at his slender white fingers, feeling the increasingly active power called "Desire Energy" within his body.
He truly felt the power of this "original sin".
It is an extremely powerful thing, and even Sarokdar and Tris have not been able to truly discover its true power.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Murphy seems to have found the right usage.
"Morality can only restrain oneself, but desire can dominate others."
Murphy recited these words silently in his heart. He closed his fingers and clenched them into fists in the darkness under Maxim's awe and loyal gaze, as if he had grasped some invisible power.
"Lord, Lord Baron, the way to the bottom is open!"
A few minutes later, a gray-faced foreman came over to report the good news. Murphy nodded with satisfaction and said kindly to the sweating foreman:
"Take the workers to take a rest nearby. Your work is very effective. After cleaning up the rubble and debris here, you can go back to the camp. I will ask Miriam to arrange a vacation for you in the near future."
"Thank you, sir."
The foreman saluted Murphy with a flattering smile. While the vampire lord walked forward, Maxim behind him looked at the foreman up and down. He suddenly said:
"I also need excellent workers like you in my territory. Are you interested in going to Limu Village to carry out reconstruction work? I can appoint you as the village chief and give you a quota of 50 people. You can choose the assistants you need in the camp.
.”
"Ah this."
The foreman didn't expect such a good thing at all.
The smile on his face was beyond words, and he immediately nodded wildly in agreement, and then watched the two adults walk into the newly opened underground warehouse with a look of secret joy.
The foreman didn't know what was in the warehouse, he just thought he was lucky today.
"well done."
As he walked into the warehouse, Murphy whispered to Maxim beside him:
"You already know how to make good use of power."
"Just to protect your secret, Master, the things hidden here are too important, and those who know the location must be closely guarded."
Maxim replied:
"According to the old tradition of blood vultures, these workers will be disposed of, but I know that you need manpower now."
"Well, the correct idea is that people are the most important, and that is the foundation of all great achievements."
The vampire lord chuckled, and the two of them went deep into the darkness of the warehouse.
There is no light source here, but it cannot block the sight of the two of them. The large warehouse in front of them is full of neatly arranged wooden boxes, filling the entire area. Murphy walked to the nearest wooden box, reached out and clasped the lid gently
Once pulled, the contents inside come to light.
Hundreds of war spears were stored in it. Murphy picked up one and waved it twice in his hand. The balance was pretty good and the spear tip was sharp. It was perfect for new recruits to use.
These are standard recruit-level weapons that young players don't like at all, and the things here are indeed not for them.
Maxim behind him opened another box, which contained brand-new recruit leather armor and well-maintained shields. After a brief inspection, he came over and reported to Murphy:
"The weapons here are enough to arm 6,000 blood servant warriors. Sir, there are also 1,500 sets of weak psychic weapons and armors deep in the warehouse specially prepared for vampire recruits.
It's a pity that there are no firearms.
People in Transia don't like that kind of dangerous stuff, and vampires also sneer at things that breathe fire. However, now is the age of steel and gunpowder, and ordinary soldiers in the Plantagenet Kingdom can skillfully use muskets."
"We can discuss the issue of firearms later."
Murphy was not disappointed.
He patted the wooden box in front of him and said to Maxim:
"Lord Palano promised to help us urge the kingdoms of Plantagenet and Nordtof to release the armed blood servants captured in the war, but I don't need sixteen thousand servant soldiers, and we can't afford such a large number.
's army.
After they come back, you will select the most elite 3,000 of them to reorganize the Cadman Self-Rescue Army, eh
Let's call it the 'Cadman People's Army'. This name may be more appropriate. The weapons and armor here can quickly arm them. Then select a thousand veterans with decent character and hand them over as full-time militiamen in the villages that are about to be rebuilt.
Mr. Portman supervises and trains.
All the rest were demobilized as free citizens and dispersed into Scarlet City and the five collective farms we are currently planning to rebuild. These villages will become towns or even small cities in the future.
Mark, I will leave the military system of the territory to you.
Maybe you need to find some veterans in the camp to serve as your staff and learn from them how to manage such a large army. You should pay attention to promoting those who are talented. After all, we cannot only have an army of 3,000 people in the future."
“You will not be disappointed!”
Maxim responded in a deep voice.
This deep trust from the lord made him very motivated.
"Seal this place up."
Murphy put the spear in his hand back into the wooden box, then left the warehouse and glanced at another previously excavated warehouse not far away.
There is the weapons depot of the corridor guards and the clan leader's personal guards. It is the most "rich" place in the Blood Vulture Corridor.
Maxim immediately replied:
"The statistics have been completed over there, Master. Counting the guard weapons we recovered from the corridor battlefield, the number of weakly effective psionic weapons that can be distributed now is 4,000, and there are 3,000 sets of weakly effective psionic armors.
There are more broken pieces of armor, and we don't have enough blacksmiths and tailors so it's temporarily difficult to make use of those broken items.
As for the high-end psychic weapons and armor used by the clan leader's personal guards, there are 1,000 sets each.
These figures are in addition to the consumption you previously rewarded to the warriors. They are also the accumulation of weapons of the Blood Vulture Clan in the past 400 years. I heard from Mrs. Tracey that the Blood Vulture Clan seems to be in the south and north of Transia.
Each has a hidden armory, which also contains another batch of high-end weapons and armor.
It's a pity that only the guards captain knows the location of the two top-secret arsenals, and they are all dead, but what we have in front of us is enough.
You can completely reorganize the core elite of the Blood Eagle Clan.
The only problem is that the number of tribesmen is too small."
"That's no longer a problem."
Murphy chuckled and said:
"I never intended to rebuild the clan according to the traditional vampire ways. The Blood Vulture clan just left an ancient name. This is just the 'original information' prepared for my warriors to travel the continent in the future.
Mark, you are also a vampire now. You should be able to understand the bad nature of our race.
We are like parasites that live on other civilizations, extracting the blood of others to feed ourselves, and the dark nature of vampires who were born in the middle of the night means that once they get together, they will start to do things that are not conducive to unity.
Therefore, in my future plans for Scarlet Castle and Transia, the number of vampires must be strictly controlled! They should be controlled at about 1% of the total population, and no more.
I'm a vampire.
But I don’t trust our so-called compatriots.”
"Exquisite thinking, Master, I think so too."
Maxim agreed, but then he said doubtfully:
"But ordinary soldiers cannot use psychic weapons and armor, and even professionals can find it difficult to control the psychic items accumulated by the Blood Eagle Clan over the past 400 years. If you only use them to consume your warriors, this will undoubtedly cause
A huge waste of resources.”
"The speed at which they update their weapons is beyond your imagination, not to mention that they cannot always have only sixty people.
You think it's more, but I think it's less.
Too little! It’s not useful at all, so when we have some free time, we must put it on the agenda to discover the two top-secret arsenals of the Blood Vulture Clan!”
Murphy shook his head and told Maxim:
"You go to Miriam and ask her to assign someone to manage these important supplies, then divide them according to the power level of the psychic items, and arrange for a smart quartermaster to be on duty here for a long time.
After my warriors return, I will arrange a new equipment exchange and recycling system for them."
"Okay, Master."
Maxim took out his notebook and wrote down the instructions.
A few minutes later, the two of them left the warehouse area and turned back to the main entrance leading to the collapsed Blood Vulture Holy Pond.
Tris has been busy here for a while. The Grand Duchess Blood Vulture is currently casting a spell on a strange black stone standing at the collapsed entrance with the help of several vampire psionicist guards.
Maxim had never seen anything like this.
Its shape is like an irregular stone pillar, with complex psychic runes all over its black appearance, like a lighthouse-type device.
As Tris finished casting the spell, this "gathering stone" also emitted a unique shimmer in the darkness.
"Your Excellency, has the debugging of our important 'Blood Vulture Secret Technique' been completed?"
Murphy stepped forward and asked, Tris glanced at him, nodded and said:
"It has been tested. I have to admit that I have never seen such an exquisite psychic item. Are you sure this is the mysterious knowledge you obtained from that failed astral summoning?"
"Yes, I'm sure. I even think it may come from a more mysterious subspace, perhaps a generous gift from an unknown subspace shadow."
Murphy stretched out his hand to touch the surface of the gathering stone and whispered something.
The next moment, the character card pops up a prompt:
[The special psychic item 'Gathering Stone' has been placed, and the dungeon snapshot mechanism is ready. Please extract the dungeon fragment from the event snapshot list currently in storage.
The list of replica snapshots that can currently be extracted is as follows:
Small illusions: the blocking battle in Morland Village, the harassment battle in Smuggler's Woodland, and the raiding battle by Jed's gang.
Large Illusion: Advance into the Blood Vulture Corridor.
hint!
A collection stone can only carry a copy snapshot.
hint!
Test administrators can select special targets in the dungeon snapshot and add 'special drops' to them. This mode currently does not support physical forms, and can specify the use of 'special tokens' for redemption operations.
hint!
The test administrator can freely adjust the internal rules of the copy snapshot, enemy strength, enemy size and cooling time.】
"Cool! Three five-player editions and one team edition. Now the equipment acquisition channels for the Black Iron stage are 'developed'."
Murphy admired in his heart.
He was also a novice on the road, so he put the simplest snapshot of the Morland Village blockade into the gathering stone, and then entered a field similar to "psionic illusion" as if his consciousness was unsheathed.
This experience is the same as turning on the "edit mode" of Mazao, which includes the entire process of the battle extracted from Murphy's memory from the initial blockade at the entrance of the village to the attack of Natalie's team.
He can even designate NPCs to say some very shameful lines.
Murphy was a little clumsy at first.
But he soon became proficient. After all, this simple scene editing and reassembly was nothing compared to the difficulty of running a piece of code that only had nine lines but reported ten errors.
So based on his understanding of the copy, he quickly made detailed modifications to the entire memory and confirmed that the copy snapshot took effect.
A few minutes later, Murphy withdrew his finger, and the illusion of psychic energy began to linger on the gathering stone in front of him. He looked carefully at the light surrounding the gathering stone, and what was projected in it was the scene of Moreland Village.
"Try it."
Murphy made a "please" gesture to Maxim beside him. The loyal servant stepped forward without hesitation and reached out to touch the gathering stone. He injected spiritual energy into it. His figure seemed to be shrouded in mist, and he was close to him.
Three minutes later, the body reappeared in the mist.
Damn it!
Finished in three minutes?
Are you playing the dungeon racing mode every now and then?
Is this because Maxim is too strong? Or is Murphy's copy design too poor?
no!
Gotta get on the difficulty level!
Murphy thought so, but Maxim savored the experience just now, and he said to Murphy with strange eyes:
"Master, isn't this what we experienced in Moreland Village? It's just slightly different in details, and the enemy's strength seems to have been strengthened. In addition, I don't remember shouting those strange words during the battle.
.What a burning left hand is calling for victory. This is so shameful!"
"do not mind the details!
What you just experienced is the wonderful use of the gathering stone. The knowledge from the astral world allows us to re-travel the battles we have experienced in the form of illusions, and everything you experience in this illusion can be turned into actual combat experience.
"
Murphy explained:
"Look at the arithmetic orb in your hand."
Maxim immediately lowered his head.
There is an additional "Token" column on the interface of the calculation orb, which contains three "Recruit Badges", which corresponds to the three elite witch hunters he fought against in the illusion just now.
In addition to the recruit badge, there are also similar "veteran badges", "elite badges" and "warrior badges", which presumably can only be obtained by defeating the enemy in more difficult combat illusions.
"Use this virtual currency to prove that my warriors have passed the trial. Then they can spend it at the quartermaster to exchange for corresponding weapons and armor. When their strength grows and they need more powerful weapons and armor, they can
These armors can be returned to the Quartermaster to obtain tokens that have been reduced to one-third of their original value.
In this way, spiritual items from low-level to high-level can be recycled."
Murphy spoke eloquently to Maxim and Tris:
"Such a facility can undoubtedly quickly improve the warriors' combat skills. After our full-time soldier system is established, I will also hand over this psychic facility to them for use, so that our recruits can also experience
Absolutely realistic combat experience.
It should also be good for training troops."
"But if it is really so perfect, then your warriors will be immersed in this illusion and ignore the changes in reality, little Murphy. This is a common flaw of all scene-based illusions."
Psychic master Tris reminded seriously:
"No matter how real the illusion is, it is still fake. You must let your warriors understand this! Only changes in the real world are worth pursuing, rather than immersing yourself in the power of illusion."
"They can only enter once a day, and the more difficult team battles can only be experienced once a week."
Murphy explained:
"And the weapons and armor exchanged for tokens are all made in batches. I just want to give them the most basic 'guaranteed' harvest at each stage. If they want more powerful, rare and beautiful weapons, they must use them in real
Find it through your own exploration and experience in the world.
I know the importance of this.
So, Tris, you don't have to worry.
However, each collection stone can only carry one battle memory, so I need at least three more, Tris, I’ll help you next.”
"Why do I feel that I, the Duke of Blood Vulture, have now become your slave?"
Cuisi said angrily:
"Normal family relationships shouldn't be like this, right? Your Excellency, Earl Cadman, do you force your clan leader to work for you without even saying thank you?"
"Doesn't this make it seem like we are alienated from each other?"
Murphy grinned, stretched out his hand to hold Tris's wrist and began to whisper comfort, while Tris pursed her lips and made a request, such as one collection stone in exchange for twenty cases of fine wine.
The loyal Maxim exited the area with a wink at this time.
The private lives of nobles should not be pried into, this is the basic conduct of loyal people.
What's more, in Maxim's heart, only a heroic figure like Lord Murphy is worthy of possessing a peerless and charming beauty like Mrs. Tracey!
Although the age difference between the two is more than 400 years, it doesn’t matter!
There are two talented men and good-looking women. How can it be the turn of a blind monster to make irresponsible remarks?
