Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 252: Fire Sacrifice Selection, Outer Islanders
For players, the most important upgrade of the fire is the fire form.

Although overall its importance is not as high as the fire ceremony, it also has its own importance that cannot be ignored.

For the players, what they care about most is not the bonus of the fire form or its attributes.

Most players only care about one question: Will the Spark be handsome after being promoted? What will it look like?
This can be understood a little bit from the experience of some early players who used Tasolomo's fire to offer sacrifices.

Previously, since Lingzhu had only just entered the Firefly version, there were not many maps with intermediate fire seeds.

But now that the Isamud map has appeared, there are several more mid-level fire seeds, so players' attention has naturally shifted from the [Fire Ceremony] to the [Fire Seed Promotion].

First of all, the fire dropped by Tasolomo is officially called [Unconsecrated Fire] by Lingzhu, which naturally means the fire that has not completed the fire ceremony.

However, its quality is no different from that of mid-level fire, and it can be used as a sacrificial fire to directly enhance the players' fire form.

Therefore, due to its special properties, players also call it "blank fire sacrifice".

In the following days, the players never stopped discussing.

To this end, the storyteller also went out of his way to ask players and conduct statistics, and finally summarized some important information about the promotion of the fire species, and released it together with the background explanation of the Isamud map.

The first thing that is told is Tasolomo, the blank slate spark.

After watching some of the cases told in the storyteller’s video, the players immediately sent a bunch of barrages of comments.

"Warning about the extra-long progress bar!"

"Sure enough, this blank fire seed is pure enhancement..."

"Fuck, brothers, don't use blank fire seeds to sacrifice to the Fire Law Knight. After using it, there is no increase in toughness. I am numb... (crying)"

"Ah? So, the effect of the white fire is weaker than other mid-level fires? (Shocked)"

"Well, that's not the case."

“…Why are all the recent storytelling videos related to this game? Is it fun? (Mengdong.jpg)”

“It’s not fun because I don’t have a spot.”

"..."

The storyteller had already anticipated players' questions about the strength of the blank fire, and gave a clear answer in the video.

[…Of course, after the whiteboard fire offering is promoted, although the fire form does not have the powerful effect of some specific routes, this does not mean that its effect is not as good as the promotion of specific routes. From an overall perspective, it is relatively more balanced. ]

[Here we also use the example of the Law Knight Spark. 】

[After a Knight player completes the Fire Offering Ceremony, he can then proceed to the Fire Promotion. During the Fire Promotion, we can choose the blank Fire and the intermediate Fire of the same route as the Law Knight in the background story, "Law Offering Knight Captain", to offer the Fire.]

[If you choose the blank fire seed, then the form after promotion will not be as exaggerated as the Knight Commander of the Law, and the toughness is not as strong as the latter, but there is undoubtedly an advantage in flexibility, and the talent effect is also similar. ]

[So in general, there is no difference in "strength". Lingzhu has always been very balanced in the fusion and promotion of fire seeds. The overall point is that there are gains and losses. The key lies in the choice.]

The comments on the forum also expressed their agreement with the storyteller's words. Indeed, some people like to be strong, while others like to be flexible.

Even within the same knight route, there are many options when broken down.

[In addition, the Law Knight can definitely use other fires to offer sacrifices. The Spirit Candle is extremely free in this regard. Even if it is an obviously unwise choice, it is placed in front of the player. ]

[…Of course, it is definitely not advisable to randomly fuse the fire. After all, whether it is the initial ignition or the current promotion, there is a concept of "compatibility". ]

[Forcing different fires to be sacrificed will not only result in a low success rate, but even if you are lucky enough to be promoted, the results will be mixed, and even the appearance will be very dependent on luck. ]

[If you are lucky, you may look more handsome, but if you are unlucky... I'm sorry, you may miss the opportunity to learn the magic of Miteros. ]

[It is worth mentioning that the Summoner bloodline does not have the trouble of choosing a fire seed for sacrifice. As long as there is a mid-level fire seed for sacrifice, it can be directly promoted and will not be affected by the fire seed. Fixed attributes and summoning speed are strengthened. If I guess correctly, the Curse Master bloodline should be the same...]

After listening to the storyteller's explanation, many players suddenly realized what was going on, but were also scared. Fortunately, many players kept their course and did not mess around, otherwise they would probably have to start over again.

Of course, there are also many unlucky children here.

"Ah... I see. Fortunately, I resisted the urge to offer the fire sacrifice right away."

"High EQ: Lost the opportunity to learn magic, low EQ: Ugly idiot can't learn magic. (dog head.jpg)"

"Fire sacrifice, brother?"

"Fuck! Why use knights as examples instead of mages? I'm so angry. When will we mage players stand up? (angry.jpg)"

"The summoner's bloodline has no choice hhh."

"We don't want to choose this. A noble summoner doesn't need a mixed bloodline. (Pride.jpg)"

"Hahahahaha, this is fucking making me laugh to death. I was wondering why a pile of shit with armor on its body appeared on Zhuxin Island yesterday. It turns out someone used the old eighth fire to sacrifice to the Knight Commander Fenglu!"

"Fuck, now that you mention it I remember it."

"Haha, could it be Brother Niu? I feel like he's the only one with a high enough level."

"Damn it, don't put the blame on me, I haven't even offered the fire yet, okay? (Angry)"

Niu Niu felt a little depressed when he was suddenly clicked while watching the video.

"What? The progress is faster than Brother Niu, you are such a hard worker! (Eyebrow Pencil Boy Face)"

"The Law Guardian's Fire should be able to use the Storm Bishop's Fire to sacrifice fire, they are the same route. (Thinking)"

[…In short, the three routes of the Guraid Empire are still recommended. After all, after collecting the three badges, you can control the Great Law Anchor Point for fun. Although you can't get any drops, you can get the "Glory of Audience". ]

[Although it is not used for the time being, it will definitely be of great use in the future. After all, judging from the background story, the role of the great empire of Gulard will definitely be a big one, and it is estimated that there will be a next route for the Knight Commander of the Law. ]

[This arrangement of Lingzhu is definitely the "official recommended route" to a certain extent. Everyone can feel free to offer sacrifices to the fire...]

Well, the storyteller simply imagined it as the so-called "official recommendation by Lingzhu".

Even Rogge's makeshift team doesn't know this.

But from the player's perspective, this is true.

Knight, Mage, Warlock, three complete routes, with such powerful skills and equipment, you still say you are not officially recommended? Who would believe it?

"Indeed, if I remember correctly, Lingzhu's first map is the Exile Island."

"? The first map is an underwater cave, mate."

"...You didn't enter the game, did you? Everyone assumes that this thing is part of the tutorial, but if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it."

"Haha! Capture an out-islander alive."

"It's so funny. The people from the outer islands outside remember it better than the players inside."

"Ah, our Lingzhu is like this. Storytellers often use people from the outer islands as human memorandums."

"I know the plot by heart, but the game hasn't been released yet. I remember all the key points, but I don't have the qualifications to play it."

"Horizontal banner: Players crying with envy."

"What a talent! I am dying of laughter." "Stop talking, I am really going to lose my defense. (Hong Wen)"

"Wait for the guy who made the jingle. I'll get a van of people to fuck you right away. (Smile.jpg)"

"Lingzhu's game qualification may be far from me, but you are still very close to me... (Cai Dao)"

"..."

There is a very magical phenomenon in the game Lingzhu now.

That is, outside of the game, there is a large group of cloud players who are not qualified to play the game.

Most of these players are attracted by the game content and stories, and are immersed in them all day long. Whenever they have time, they rush to the forum discussions or gather in the storyteller's videos.

Among them are some unlucky players who have been chasing the game since the server was launched but still have no qualifications to play.

Of course, some of them are caused by one's own physical factors, such as congenital deficiencies, being unable to be frightened and so on.

But even though they can't play the game, when it comes to their understanding and love of Lingzhu, these players are not inferior to some regular players.

As a result, forums and videos often show strange scenes of cloud players instructing and educating qualified gamers...

Therefore, in order to show respect, players call them "outsider people". The relationship between the two is not as tense as the relationship between cloud players and players in ordinary games, but rather harmonious.

Many people are keen on accurately identifying them in the major comment sections and barrages, which is very fun.

After the storyteller finished telling this episode of the video, he naturally started putting up advertisements and received money from the sponsor.

……

[You have received a world side quest from the Candle Keeper - escape from pursuit.]

[Mission Description: Letali arrived at Candlewood Island and temporarily escaped from danger, but her friend Claymore was still in danger...]

[Quest requirements: Find the whereabouts of the firewood collector Claymore. ]

[Task Reward: War Contribution × 500, weapons or equipment of the specified type of "excellent" quality. ]

"World side quest..."

"It seems like it can only be done once?"

"Yes, this stuff is pure luck."

"Hey, if I could find Claymore..."

"Come on, we're definitely out of luck."

While Zhang Ming was tidying up his inventory, his two teammates were chatting.

"No, I feel like there must be some inside story behind this dynamic plot, otherwise why haven't we encountered it yet?" One of the players said seriously, stroking his chin.

"No, buddy, we're only in our teens. Are you sure you want to encounter a dynamic plot right now?" Another player was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

With their level, let alone Extinguishing Pursuers, they would have a hard time even dealing with a random Wage Stealer.

If it really comes, you won't be happy about it.

"Well, forget it, let's not talk about this." The player coughed and looked at Zhang Ming on the side: "Xiao Ming, how have you been leveling up recently? If you're at a high enough level, let's go fight the Taurus Guardian together."

"Not bad. I'm just about to upgrade my rank." Zhang Ming replied.

"Then hurry up, I'll wait for you."

Zhang Ming nodded, then came to the spirit candle. After touching the fire, he chose to consume wax oil to increase the burning point.

【The flash point has been raised.】

【Student Xiao Ming】

[Rank: Slag]

【Level: 21】

[War: Curse Master (Can deepen the curse on a single target up to twice. After activating the War form, the wax image can be stored in the curse eye to speed up the casting of the curse)]

[Ability value: ...]

[Talent: Curse Eye (Wax Figure Limit: 3)]

[Ability: Dodge, restore wax blocks...]

[Skills: Cursed Wax Figure, Cursed Vision, Slowness, Thorns, Wei Lu Flame Attack]

Although Zhang Ming entered the game relatively late, there are some advantages to entering late. The most comfortable one is that as long as he follows the strategies of the big players, the upgrade speed in the early stage will not be too slow.

As for the Curse Master's war flames, although he cannot start a fire like the Evoker, his own effects are powerful enough.

The effect of the curser's own fire is mainly to "deepen the curse". The deeper the curse layer, the stronger the curse effect.

It is with the help of this point that Zhang Ming, a newbie, can kill the Law Knight without any damage, which is really powerful.

As for skills, they are treated the same as summoners, and are exclusively available at the Spirit Candle Shop. Of course, as long as their corresponding attributes meet the requirements, they can also learn prayers or spells.

Zhang Ming learned an explosive Wei Lu Yan Xi, which is very useful.

"I'm ready, let's go."

After taking out the letter cloth and wrapping it around his hands, Zhang Ming stood up with full confidence.

A mere Taurus guard can take it down in an instant!

Just as the three were about to teleport using the spirit candle, a player walked over silently and touched the candle flame.

As if he noticed the gazes of the three people, he smiled friendly and then disappeared.

"Hey? Isn't this Brother Tiechu..." Zhang Ming's companion saw this, glanced at the time and sighed: "He is indeed a punctual Lingzhu civil servant..."

Zhang Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at the time. It was exactly twelve o'clock, not a minute late.

He had also heard about this. This big brother seemed to appear on time at twelve o'clock every day, and then go offline at eight o'clock in the morning, just like a civil servant going to work, extremely regular.

This caused many players to know that it was time to log off and go to work as soon as they saw Tiechu coming out of the dungeon...

However, Brother Tiechu has always been very low-key and his level is not high, so he did not attract much attention. After all, there are so many weird players in Lingzhu.

"Why don't we go by boat? We can also look for the puzzle treasure while we're there. It seems like today is the perfect time for it to be refreshed."

When they were about to teleport, their companion suddenly suggested it. Zhang Ming and the other person had no objection to this. The three of them quickly boarded the Spirit Fire Raft and headed towards the battlefield ruins where the Golden Bull Guard was...
