What made Yun Xiaohan even more hesitant was that he couldn't give up the branch task midway.
In the main mission, Yun Xiaohan had the opportunity to give up midway. For example, the system prompted him once in the miners' lounge before, and again here. But in the branch mission, there will obviously be no such opportunity again. He must make a
When the road goes dark, you may even be unable to return to the ground without completing the branch tasks, which is very troublesome.
What's even more terrible is that once the branch task fails, it is very likely to cause the main task to fail, and in addition, it will drop an entire level. The side effects are too great and the consequences are too serious.
Yun Xiaohan currently has 19.9% experience at level 45, and Yixiaozui, who is second on the level list, has 76.7% at level 43. This lead of nearly one and a half levels is restored by the series of rewards Yun Xiaohan received after defeating the Thunderclaw Kobold Queen.
The gap opened up, among which the [Thunder Claw Blade] strengthened by the teeth of the cyan young dragon played a key role.
Although Yun Xiaohan still has 19.9% of the experience of level 44 after losing a level, and he still won't lose his first position on the level list, the gap has suddenly narrowed a lot.
What's more terrible is that the divergent routes clearly state that branch tasks are more suitable for players with dark vision and stealth abilities, and the benefits that may be obtained in the tasks are also more favored by agile players. Yun Xiaohan neither has the ability to sneak, nor does he have the ability to sneak.
There is no dark vision, and the agility attribute growth skill has never been learned. No matter how you look at it, it is a thankless effort, and the possibility of completing the task is not high.
It stands to reason that Yun Xiaohan should decisively choose the divergent route one, but Yun Xiaohan is really unwilling to give up the divergent route two, which is obviously a hidden mission.
There are three main reasons why Yun Xiaohan wants to choose the divergent route 2:
First, the difficulty and reward of tasks in "Decision" are often directly proportional. The greater the difficulty of the task, the more generous the reward. There are rarely thankless tasks, even if there is no reward in the current task.
You can also get certain benefits in subsequent tasks or extended tasks.
Therefore, Yun Xiaohan feels that even if the benefits he may gain from the mission are not suitable for him, he may get compensation from other places.
Moreover, the difficulty of the main task allows Yun Xiaohan to gain so many benefits. The more difficult branch tasks will obviously have more generous rewards. If he really wants to give up, Yun Xiaohan will probably be scratching his head for a long time.
Second, what Yun Xiaohan is most worried about is not being downgraded, but that failure in branch tasks will lead to failure in the main task. It doesn't matter if his level lead becomes smaller, as long as his strength is still there, he can still widen the gap again. Although there is an impact,
But it won't be very big. But if the main mission fails, Mithril and Mica will have nothing to do with it, and the subsequent missions will not be done, so the loss will be huge.
But after careful consideration, Yun Xiaohan felt that the possibility of failing the main task due to the failure of the branch task was extremely small. The reason was very simple, and that was the reasoning for the subsequent task.
The main task to do later is to return to the surface and tell the news about the silver mine to those who are qualified to participate in the fight for the new mine. If they are other players in Snowrun City, they will naturally report to the Lord of Snowrun City, Balgruuf, and let him
Go fight for it and share part of the benefits later. Yun Xiaohan will definitely report to his lord, Liya, and let her compete for the ownership or mining rights of the new mineral veins.
If Yun Xiaohan had not obtained Tina as his adjutant, then failure of his branch mission would most likely lead to failure of the main mission. But now that Tina exists, and the news of the new mine has been passed to Liya through Tina, there is no such thing because
If the problem of his death preventing the news from spreading, the main mission will naturally not fail.
In this way, Yun Xiaohan's worries will be much less.
Third, in many mission designs, "Choice" intentionally misleads or intimidates players who are performing missions by prompting "correct information". The more difficult and rare the missions, the more so. This is both for control and control.
The number of people participating in the task is also to increase the difficulty and increase the gameplay, or it is simply a bad taste of the task designer.
Yun Xiaohan felt that this divergent route choice was probably the case, and the prompt given in the miners' lounge earlier was probably the same. If he had chosen to return to the ground at that time, it would have been impossible to trigger this divergent choice.
So after much deliberation, Yun Xiaohan decided to choose the second divergent route.
After Yun Xiaohan confirmed his selection, the new task was displayed in the task panel.
The first stage of the hidden branch mission - "Ghost Shadow" exploration: go deep into the underground through the hole to reveal the secret of the ghost shadow.
Yun Xiaohan drilled into the hole and went down the simple "stairs" made of moss, stones and mud. As he walked, Yun Xiaohan suddenly found a small amount of blood spots on the gray-green moss. He didn't know what it was.
Reflected by the color of the moss, or due to insufficient brightness, the scattered blood spots were not bright red, but dark red.
These blood spots were obviously freshly dripped and had not yet solidified or penetrated into the moss. They were most likely left by the black-robed man who was repelled by Yun Xiaohan just now.
Under normal circumstances, monsters with the bloody shielding setting turned on will not bleed, at least they will not be seen by the player, but now it is obvious that during the mission, the man in black robe can be regarded as being severely injured by Yun Xiaohan, and the flow
It's normal to have some blood, but the color of the blood is a bit un-human.
Yun Xiaohan hurriedly increased his speed. Since the man in black robe was injured, he couldn't run too fast. If Yun Xiaohan ran faster, he could catch up with him and see what he was.
It is not easy to go down the simple "stairs" quickly, because it is not a staircase in the true sense. There are not many places to stay. A lot of moss is not strong and cannot bear the weight of Yun Xiaohan. Even some of the mud
Blocks were not enough, so Yun Xiaohan had to find a place on the stone part of the stairs.
In this way, Yun Xiaohan must choose the movement route, and he must constantly adjust it by using the mouse and left and right keys to speed up.
Yun Xiaohan learned piano when he was a child, and his reflexes were particularly good. After adapting, he quickly became better and better. After running up the stairs for more than 3 minutes, he finally saw the figure of the man in black robe.
Because this place is already very deep underground, and the light provided by the torch is seriously insufficient, Yun Xiaohan's visual range has been greatly restricted. Under normal circumstances, Yun Xiaohan's extra large 4 body can see 200 yards away, and
Now he can only see about 50 yards away. (Visual field is not affected by changing body shape)
In addition, because Yun Xiaohan does not have dark vision or low-light vision, the negative buff of hit reduction has been increased again, from the original reduction of 20% to a reduction of 30%. It is estimated that it will be possible after Yun Xiaohan reaches the bottom of the stairs.
