Chapter 11 It seems that something is still missing
Zhao Haiping read this post twice and felt refreshed.
Right, this is the level that players should have!
Finally, someone has made some constructive guesses about this game mechanism.
It turns out that the reason why this game does not provide any mission guidance is because the content in the trial copy has historical prototypes?
Then, the player's goal in the dungeon is very simple. It is nothing more than to find a way to play the key historical figures at that time, perform similar behaviors, and finally pass the level.
For example, in the Assassin dungeon, you play Nie Rang, and in the Soldier dungeon, you play an ordinary soldier under General Geng at that time.
In the dungeon, players can obtain physical fitness similar to that of historical figures at that time, plus the blessing of a special talent skill to make up for their shortcomings.
Is it really impossible to pass the level?
Zhao Haiping originally had this suspicion. After all, judging from his personal experience, the difficulty of this game was indeed too high, but after learning that these were real events in history, he changed his mind.
Since someone has done it once in history, it is not impossible for players to do it!
Take the first dungeon "Assassin the King and Killing the King" as an example. Nie Rang only had one chance at that time. How much psychological pressure was Nie Rang under?
Players not only have talents and skills, but can also do homework and copy homework. If they fail, they can start over again until they succeed.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the difficulty is not that outrageous.
And Zhao Haiping also knows what he should do during the day. Although it is a bit uncomfortable not being able to play "Dark Sand" after being addicted to it, he can definitely collect some historical materials from that time and do his homework during the day!
First of all, you need to know how the historical figures at that time handled the crisis. If you can imitate them, practice more on your own shortcomings, or get matching talents and skills. If you play a few more times, you will still have a good chance of passing the level.
Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping had a goal.
He saved this post and followed the poster named "Chu Ge".
The poster said that he would continue to update content in this post in the future. Zhao Haiping felt that he should be able to copy the assignments directly. For example, a scribe dungeon would definitely not be possible for a macho player with 9 intelligence like himself.
Then, Zhao Haiping began to search for historical materials related to the copy "One General Succeeds".
…
10 at night.
Zhao Haiping once again entered the game world of "Dark Sand".
“I am fully prepared today and must find a way to pass the level!
"...If you don't pass the level, you must at least pass the second stage!"
Zhao Haiping was originally quite ambitious, but when he thought that there would be three stages after the second stage of the game, he lost his ambition.
Because after checking relevant historical data, he found that the famous general Geng Zhong guarded the northwest border for more than forty years. Until all the soldiers were gray-haired, only seventy-four of them persisted until reinforcements arrived and finally survived.
The soldiers in the second stage are all around 40 or 50 years old, and they are obviously still nearly twenty years away from becoming "gray-haired".
Therefore, Zhao Haiping guessed that this dungeon will probably have three stages. Only by finally becoming one of the seventy-four survivors in a gray-haired state and insisting on waiting for reinforcements to arrive can it be possible to finally pass the level.
The first time he learned about this plot, Zhao Haiping was quite desperate, because he felt that the second stage was already as difficult as climbing to the sky. It was simply unimaginable how difficult the third stage would be.
Entering the second stage of the game directly, I very skillfully selected the talent skill of "Enduring Hungry".
Because he died many times before and tried many skills, he found that the talent skill options in the early stage of the game were not actually very many, and there were only a few back and forth.
After comprehensive testing, the talent of starvation is still the best to resist the negative state of hunger in the second stage.
For a meat pigeon game, the lack of skills will definitely lead to a relatively simple gameplay, but Zhao Haiping feels that this may be a special mechanism for novice copies.
Because the purpose of the novice copy is definitely to guide players to better understand how to play the game. If too many options are given, it will not actually serve as a guide.
Players try it one by one, and in the end they don't even know the entire skill library, so they will definitely feel confused while playing.
Therefore, in the novice dungeon stage, the skill library should be narrowed down and only some targeted talents and skills should be placed in it to better serve as a guide.
As for future official content or large-scale dungeons, more talents and skills should be unlocked, right?
Enter the game again.
Still the same as last night, the Beidi barbarian army was pressing down on the border, while the Da Chu city defenders were fighting this city defense battle in a state of hunger and thirst.
The soldier next to him handed over the foul-smelling rag bag again.
Zhao Haiping stepped out of the way and gave it to the people around him who needed it more.
After checking the information before, he probably knew what was in the bag.
According to historical records, "The people of Di held up the stream below the city, and the officials were thirsty and tired, so they carried horse dung juice and drank it."
In other words, the cloth bag was filled with horse dung. Many soldiers were so thirsty that they could only drink the smelly water squeezed out of the horse dung.
Zhao Haiping definitely didn't have any courage to try this kind of thing, so he unswervingly chose the talent of "enduring hunger".
Soon, the rumbling war drums outside the city sounded again, and the Beidi barbarians attacked again!
Zhao Haiping has been fully mentally prepared.
He found that he died a lot in this game, and he gradually began to adapt to it.
Moreover, as he died again and again, his fighting skills also improved.
Although the same body is used every time, this body also contains the soldier's muscle memory about combat. As Zhao Haiping continues to fight, these muscle memories begin to gradually activate.
Moreover, using Nie Rang's body in the first dungeon, the effect similar to an initiation after obtaining "Sword Mastery" also has a certain bonus to Zhao Haiping's combat skills.
Although dying again and again was boring and boring, Zhao Haiping found that he did not feel much suffering, but rather enjoyed it.
He is naturally in a state of concentration, and he can feel his skills improving every time, and he seems to be one step closer to completing the level.
Before I knew it, several hours had passed.
As General Geng Zhong let out a low roar of despair again, the Beidi barbarians swarmed forward again and sent Zhao Haiping back to the starting point.
"I can feel there is progress, but...
"It still seems difficult!
"There is absolutely no hope of clearing the second stage, let alone the third stage."
Zhao Haiping fell into deep thought again.
After such a long period of training, he could feel that his fighting skills had made considerable progress.
At present, he is able to fight one against two without falling behind, which is quite difficult for him who is in a state of hunger and thirst.
Zhao Haiping's combat experience has improved very quickly. This may be a hidden special mechanism in the game. At least the entire combat system is much simpler than in reality.
But it was precisely because he quickly vaguely sensed the ceiling of the current dungeon's combat power that Zhao Haiping became suspicious of the current situation.
Because he has absolutely no hope of winning!
This body has its limits. It may be easy to fight one barbarian, but what about two, three, or even four?
If you want to defend, let alone four, forty will be enough.
Unless all Da Chu soldiers are given group buffs so that everyone can fight one against two, then maybe there is still a chance.
"It's weird, I feel like I can't win at all.
“Historically, it’s obviously been defended, right?
“Is the difficulty in the game deliberately raised, or is it that the current script does not fully follow the historical trend?
"The possibility of the former shouldn't be high. This is just a novice copy, so it shouldn't be that difficult.
"In other words, are there some factors that I have overlooked in the true historical records?"
Zhao Haiping once again began to recall the information he consulted during the day.
