Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 198 The Hot Autumn Leaf Knife
The first day of the launch of "Arad Continent".

A total of thousands of people are online in Miracle City, Jinxi City, and Qianhu City.

It is not difficult to judge from the feedback received so far that the remake of DNF is very successful.

The biggest feature of this secret realm is its more distinct online game attributes, and it has made many bold innovations in terms of mechanism and gameplay, such as retaining the game's health bar mechanism and copy mechanism.

Qi Ji deeply realized that creating secret realms and making games both have artistic elements. Art comes from life and is higher than life, and it does not necessarily mean that the more real it is, the better.

Sometimes absolute truth can actually reduce the fun.

There are some trade-offs between the two.

To achieve the best results.

Therefore, the experience of "Arad Continent" gives people the feeling that it is more like the world of "game reality" in the online game literature of the previous life.

This secret realm has two level systems.

One set is the level of cultivation, such as first-level five-star, second-level five-star, etc., which is the real strength.

One set is the game level. Currently the lowest level is 1 and the highest level is 60. Higher levels will be gradually opened in the future. This is not the real strength, but a numerical balance mechanism limited to the secret world.

Each instance has an entry level.

Those with higher levels will suppress those with lower levels.

This kind of suppression is limited to the dungeon battlefield, so adventurers must work hard to upgrade in order to challenge more dungeon levels and defeat difficult enemies more easily.

This can make the secret realm more playable and enhance the positive feedback of upgrading, practicing, and cultivating.

There is another important reason!
Only by implanting a level system can we explain many plot-level bugs!

The levels in the original DNF and many games only represent the order in which the players defeat the bosses, and do not directly represent the strength of the bosses.

For example, the Lord of Light defeated by the adventurer in the West Coast map is only a BOSS of about level 20, while the long-legged Rotus above the Sky Curtain Beast is only a BOSS of about level 40.

In the later stages, any BOSS, even small monsters and elite monsters can crush them.

This obviously does not fit the setting and background!
The Lord of the City of Light is an eternal life created by the Tyrannosaurus King. For hundreds of years, no one has ever been able to pass through the sky city guarded by him. Countless masters have fallen in front of him.

Not to mention Lotus, he is one of the apostles and a top existence in the world view.

How could their strength be only at level one or two, and how could they not even be as strong as a small monster in a late-stage advanced map?
Now we have added a level mechanism, which can not only guide adventurers, but also solve the problem of chaotic combat logic.

In the dungeon battlefield.

The priority of the secret realm level.

It is generally higher than the actual cultivation level.

for instance.

The ultimate boss of the Sky City map, Lord of Light Seghart, has a cultivation level of three-level five stars, but his secret realm level is only over 20.

The first BOSS in the Dark City map, Morgan of Resentment, has a cultivation level of only level two and four stars, but his game level has reached level 35.

According to the background setting.

The former can easily crush the latter.

However, the value in the secret realm is far greater than the former.

Suppose there is an adventurer with a second-level five-star cultivation and a secret realm level of 25, and he is asked to challenge these two BOSSes separately, what will be the final result?

no doubt.

It is still very difficult to defeat Seghart.

But the winning rate is definitely significantly higher than Morgan of Resentment.

Morgan's strength is certainly far inferior to Seghart's, but the level of the map he is on is much higher, and he has a 10-level advantage over adventurers, which is enough to form a powerful suppressive effect.

Not only will the effects of the adventurer's skills be weakened, but the damage dealt will also be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the output caused by Morgan's attacks and skills will be greatly increased.

This is a long time.

Of course it will be difficult.

It is precisely relying on two sets of level settings.

It can ensure the stability of the power system of the Arad continent.

Under this system and mechanism, adventurers can easily defeat enemies in the early stages. By waiting until their levels are higher and then coming back to challenge them, they can enjoy the pleasure of revenge and bullying that is as easy as mowing down the weak.

At this time, you can help others upgrade to satisfy your vanity of becoming a big boss, or charge people to pass the level to earn profits. In this process, more sociality and fun unique to online games will be generated.

The above is the hierarchy of Arad.

In the future, this level system will also be used in other online game secret realms and even some stand-alone secret realms.

In addition as an online game.

There is a huge library of equipment, props, and materials.

Most of these items can be produced from secret realms.

Online game equipment has different levels and qualities, but if these equipment are exploded from the secret realm, their properties will definitely change, and the level division in the secret realm will not appear.

Qi Ji discovered that the grade and quality of items were related to the overall grade and quality within the secret realm.

The blue equipment in the secret realm shall prevail.

One level is added approximately every 25 levels.

All Arad blue equipment within level 25 are first-level equipment in the Chaos World.

Arad blue equipment from level 25 to level 50 is generally the second-level equipment of the Chaos World.

The level of Arad equipment determines the value of the equipment to a certain extent.

However, blue equipment in DNF is not particularly good equipment. Above it are purple, pink, and orange. Therefore, by collecting data, it is not difficult to find that when the level of the secret realm remains unchanged, the quality of the secret realm will become another variable.

such as.

Level 20 blue equipment is first-order ordinary equipment.

Level 20 purple or pink equipment is a first-tier rare equipment, or it may be a second-tier ordinary equipment, while if it is a level 20 orange equipment, it may be a first-tier rare equipment, or a second-tier rare equipment.

Although the specific situation is more complicated and cannot be completely generalized by the formula, it generally follows this rule.

The rich output of this secret realm is worth looking forward to!

Finally, it is worth mentioning that DNF has undergone many version changes, and there have been several large-scale overturning of the early settings. The current main storyline is based on the origin version, which is closest to the original level 60 version of DNF.

The initial DNF upgrades were very slow and the dungeons were very difficult.

Just like the Thundering Ruins that Artus is challenging at this moment.

Ninety percent of adventurers give their first resurrection coin here.

Early maps such as "Dark Thunder Ruins" are extremely difficult to play without anyone to lead you and without cheating.

Therefore, at the entrance of Gran Forest, one could often see the slogan "8000 with King Zombie"... But this scene is just like that hot summer when people were addicted to online games. It is gone now and will never come back.

Can be updated with the version.

The overall gaming environment has changed.

There are more and more fast-paced games and entertainment options.

The new generation of online game players have long lost the patience to clear maps, and with the decrease in the influx of new players, in order to make it easier for old players to train new accounts, repeated revisions are inevitable to continuously reduce the initial difficulty, and eventually gradually go to the other extreme.

Later DNF early plot.

It's just a quick tour and then a smooth march.

Small monsters can be killed in one hit, and even the BOSS will only take a few more hits. It is no longer challenging at all and is not as difficult as a small monster in the original level 60 version.

Then again.

What is the situation with the "Arad Continent" in Miracle City?

First of all, the difficulty of upgrading is definitely much lower than the initial level 60 version of DNF, so you won't end up at level 30 after three or four months of grinding. However, the difficulty of the dungeon is comparable to that of the initial DNF.

Even if it's just a Green Forest.

It is definitely not to be underestimated as it is full of challenges!
This secret realm not only consumes energy according to the length of time, but also death in battle will deplete energy. Therefore, after Luo Lei Kainuo killed several adventurers in a row, other adventurers became cautious and hesitant to move forward.

And this is why.

The elf elder Artus and the lich Vesaros chose to join forces.

……

now.

Gran Forest.

Thundering ruins.

A white-haired, teenage ghost swordsman holding a heavy sword and a red-eyed, little loli-looking magician are moving through the dense forest. The former is the lich Visaros, and the latter is the great elf elder Artus.

This place is full of dangers, with cat demons, goblins and minotaurs everywhere.

But whether they were facing a cat demon that suddenly emerged from the bushes, or a goblin that tried to ambush and attack, the two of them could always respond instantly and defeat them in a few moves. Their combat experience was really rich.

Various exciting operations.

It attracted a lot of onlookers.

"Have you noticed that the number of monsters increases significantly in team mode?"

"That's right! I feel like some monsters' health bars have also increased slightly, but generally speaking, there's strength in numbers. It's much easier to fight with someone cooperating than to fight alone."

"As expected of Lord Vesalos, he is truly amazing!"

"Elder Artus will win!"

"..."

The continent of Arad retains the dungeon mechanism, but does not adopt a room-by-room advancement method. Most dungeons are semi-open maps to present a more realistic scene and make the combat and exploration process more interesting.

The distribution of monsters will change in each game.

Elite monsters will spawn randomly.

So every adventure has a different feel.

Artus and Vesaros are both thousand-year-old old men with rich experience. Even if the body they are using is not suitable for them, the initial strength of this body is not weak. They cleared all the monsters in a few moves!
There was almost no consumption.

Challenge Luo Leikaino at almost full strength.

This mutant goblin had white skin, held a strangely shaped scimitar in his hand, and had a ferocious face. Many adventurers saw him for the first time and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Is this Luo Lei Keno? Legend has it that this mutant goblin only appears once every hundred years!"

“It really looks different!”

"His spirit should be very valuable!"

"Haha, don't underestimate him. He's the boss monster of the Thunder Ruins. He possesses extremely powerful lightning abilities. I couldn't last more than ten seconds against him anyway!"

"The craftsmanship of this secret realm is too strong!"

"If this 'Thundering Ruins' were placed in any other secret realm, it would undoubtedly be a well-made flagship secret realm. But in Gran Forest, it is just one of many levels."

"Most importantly, Gran Forest is just one of the many areas that can be explored in the continent of Arad."

“I can’t even imagine how much this secret realm contains!”

"Shh, don't talk. The decisive battle is about to begin. Let's see how these two deal with this legendary goblin!"

"..."

now.

Thundering ruins deep in the dense forest.

The two adventurers confronted Luo Leikaino.

Luo Leikaino was not alone. He had more than ten or twenty subordinates around him, including ordinary goblins, old goblins, goblin centurions, two minotaurs, and two jungle cat monsters.

When facing such a lineup.

The two bosses rarely showed a trace of solemnity.

Vesaros said, "It looks like it will be a tough battle."

Artus: "Huh, I didn't expect that lowly creatures like goblins could actually give birth to such a unique individual."

Vesaros was quite interested. "It's indeed a rare goblin. If we could obtain one, it would be extremely valuable for research. The monster materials in the hands of the Lord of Miracle City are not simple."

Luo Lei Kainuo has the strength of a second-level four-star.

This kind of monster is very valuable in most territories.

Vesaros became interested in him and wanted to get one for research. The lich was proficient in biological transformation technology, and he believed that this goblin would provide him with considerable inspiration.

When facing an intruder.

Luo Leikaino was very angry.

"Humans! It's you damned humans again! It's you who destroyed the Green Forest! You tried to destroy our home!"

This legendary mutant goblin clearly harbors a deep hatred for humans. "I will kill all humans, starting with you!"

Vesalus sneered and said, "How shameless!"

Luo Lei Kainuo raised his scimitar and swung it. A violent energy condensed and instantly turned into several lightning bolts, bombarding the two men. The two men quickly dodged.

Boom boom!

A roar sounded.

Two holes were blasted out where the two adventurers had just been.

It was a close call. If I hadn't dodged it, I would have been seriously injured even if I hadn't died.

Lightning Keno began to muster a new offensive, and various monsters around him sprang into action, attempting to use their numerical advantage to encircle and annihilate the two adventurers. There was no communication.

The two old men cooperated spontaneously based on their experience.

Artus used magic bullets to harass Lorekaino from a distance to attract the firepower of the mutant goblin, while Visaros took the opportunity to clean up other goblins, cat demons, minotaurs and other monsters at the scene.
-
10!
-
15!
-
12!
-
34 (Critical Hit!)

Swords flashed, screams were heard, and in less than ten minutes, all the monsters were cleared out!
"Come and help!"

Artus couldn't bear it anymore.

Luo Leikaino's attack became more and more fierce and violent!
While attracting hatred and fighting, Artus was accidentally hit by a lightning strike, causing half of his blood to be damaged. The difficulty of this copy can be imagined!

The tolerance rate is too low.

If the equipment and level are not strong enough.

It's almost impossible for ordinary adventurers to defeat this powerful goblin!
However, the most difficult stage has passed, and the next step for the two is the easy mode.

The lich and the elven elder worked together to coordinate long-range and short-range combat. Luo Leikaino, fighting one against two, soon fell into a disadvantage and his health bar was being rapidly depleted.

"Ghost Slayer!"

Vesalos seized the opportunity and launched a fatal attack!
The moment he swung the heavy sword with both hands, purple energy burst out from the blade, instantly wrapped around the sword edge, and hit Luo Lei Kainuo with astonishing speed and momentum.
-
88!

This sword caused huge damage.

The little vitality that Luo Leikaino had left was completely evaporated.

The legendary goblin finally fell in anger and unwillingness.

"it is good!"

"Good fight!"

The other adventurers cheered.

“This fight is very meaningful for us.”

"Yes, by watching the two masters fight against Luo Lei Kainuo, I now have a preliminary understanding of Luo Lei Kainuo's moves and skill mechanisms, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of the next challenge."

Copy settlement.

Artus obtained a straw ring from the treasure chest in the dungeon.

This ring is a blue item that can increase mana and intelligence attributes, which is very useful for magicians.

Visaros was not very lucky. Apart from some secret realm currencies, he only got a useless white equipment. However, he still found it very interesting.

Leave the secret realm.

Go back to the town and hand in the task first.

This cunning old lich.

I took the opportunity to get a lot of information from Celia.

Why did something strange happen in Gran Forest?

It all started with a mysterious fire a few years ago called the "Glen Fire".

The instigator of the Gran Fire remains a mystery to this day, but most people believe it was the Empire's doing, with the intention of destroying the large magic circle in the Gran Forest and affecting the ecology of the Principality of Belmar.

As for this big magic circle?
That’s even more amazing!

"Have you heard of the great magician Mal?"

"Great Magician Mal? I've never heard of him. Is he very powerful?"

Celia introduced: "Sir Mal, not only has great magical powers, but is also a respected human sage."

When talking about this name.

Celia's face was filled with respect. "Back then, the Principality of Belmar was just a desert where life was hard to survive. It was he who used the Great Magic Circle to change the environment here, giving rise to forests like Gran Forest, and giving this land its current rich ecological environment and population."

"what?"

Vesalus's expression changed drastically.

The elves outside were also shocked when they heard this.

"According to Celia, this mysterious great wizard single-handedly transformed the continent, lifted up the entire Sky Sea, and facilitated the birth of the Principality of Belmar?"

“Isn’t that outrageous?”

"What kind of cultivation does this require?"

"I guess they are all at least level five!"

"..."

Level five?

Vesaros himself is level five.

Anyway, he has no means to change a country's ecological environment.

This world hides more secrets than you can imagine!

There are more potential strong people in this world than you can imagine!
Vesalus continued to ask: "What is the empire? How many countries are there on this continent?"

Celia was stunned by the question. She was clearly puzzled. How could this wandering adventurer know less about the continent than she did? Could he have lost his memory for some reason, just like her?

But it's not a secret.

Celia didn't mind answering for him.

The silver-haired girl immediately began to introduce the situation in detail. "The most powerful country on the Arad continent right now is the Delos Empire. It's located to the east of the Principality of Belmar, has a vast territory, and is also extremely ambitious..."

"Besides Belmar and Delos, I heard there's a kingdom founded by dark elves in the south of the continent, a place called the Void Homeland in the northwest, and the Bantu people in the perpetually snow-capped mountains of the north..."

When this information is learned.

Understand the situation of various countries and forces.

Vesaros, Artus and the other adventurers became more and more frightened.

"This world is not only much larger and richer than imagined, but also has a complete ecosystem, whether in military, politics, history or culture."

"I've never seen a secret realm that can achieve this level."

"According to the Lord, as long as we have access to and have heard of a place, we can explore and take risks."

“This is too astonishing…”

Although in the eyes of Visaros and others, the area of ​​this secret world and the continent of Arad is not too large, it is definitely a world that is infinitely close to the real world.

And the adventurers.

You can freely explore this world.

Every battle and all gains will be preserved and will not disappear with the end of the challenge. This is a secret realm that allows people to immerse themselves in and develop for a long time.

Even if the character is trained to the peak.

You can also change a character to continue training.

It is also worth noting that the Arad continent does not seem to be the complete picture of this secret world. This world still has many unknown hidden areas, such as the heaven where the sharpshooter is located, and the demon world related to the magician...

Therefore, the lifespan and potential of this secret realm are beyond imagination!

Vesaros decided to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Only in this way could he travel to more places, investigate the secrets of the great magic circle, and get in touch with more knowledge and powerful people in this world.

When leaving Celia's hotel.

This is Hedonmar, the capital of the Principality of Mar.

This is a prosperous city with an exotic atmosphere. Most of the buildings are white. It is said that this is because the great magician Mar likes this color that symbolizes purity the most, so people still maintain this style to this day.

As a free city that advocates magical civilization, strange magical devices can be seen everywhere. Their operating principles and mysteries arouse a strong interest in Vesaros.

As the center of all forces in the continent of Arad, here you can see adventurers, businessmen, and scholars from all over the world. In addition, it is also a place where many hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, and there are many extraordinary figures.

The city is quite large.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of permanent residents.

Vesalos walked around the municipal street, the central square, the old town, and the back streets, and he found that he could not find any flaws or evidence that the city was fictional.

"This is the first time in a thousand years that I've seen such a secret place. This world is worth exploring personally!"

Vesaros then continued to team up with Artus, and the two of them brushed the Thunder Ruins several times, and finally both reached level 6 and unlocked the next map "Toxic Thunder Ruins".

This map area.

Located deeper in Mirkwood.

There are poisonous swamps and miasma everywhere.

The enemies are mainly various cat monsters, and the leader is a poisonous cat king. It is more difficult than the Thunder Ruins.

Because Artus and Vesaros were not of high enough level and not well prepared, they rashly challenged for the first time and accidentally alerted the Poison Cat King and dozens of cat demons, and were eventually attacked in a poisonous swamp full of traps.

After a hard fight between the two big guys.

In the end, because he inhaled too much poisonous fog and his level was suppressed, he was defeated by the Poison Elvis and lost his first life.

"hateful!"

"Is the Poison Elvis so powerful?"

"We underestimated him!"

"This dungeon is difficult to beat. We need to at least reach level 7 and improve our equipment to have a chance of winning!"

"..."

Artus and Vesaros decided to return to the Thunder Ruins to upgrade, and at the same time they began to search for better equipment to enhance their combat effectiveness.

And at this time.

Vesaros saw a piece of equipment on the chat screen that interested him.

Lucky Grass: "I got a level 5 purple katana, the Autumn Leaf Blade. Is anyone interested? You can also trade me for sharpshooter equipment."

Blackrock Hammer King: "Holy crap? Purple gear! I'm so lucky!"

Baihe Jushi: "Nice equipment, I'll give you 50 copper coins!"

Miracle Coin is the territory currency of Miracle Territory. 1 copper coin is equivalent to 1 contribution point, so 50 copper coins are equivalent to 50 contribution points. This price is already very good.

After all, they are just virtual assets in secret realms and cannot be taken out.

What's more, the level of the Autumn Leaf Blade is not high, it is only used for transition in the early stage, and the purple equipment is a package, and once used, it cannot be traded again.

Sky Cloud Ranger: "I'll give you 100 copper coins!"

Green-skinned bully: "I'll add another 50 copper coins!"

"..."

Adventurers made offers one after another.

Vesaros saw the properties and effects of the Autumn Leaf Knife.

He suddenly developed a strong desire to possess this weapon.

Although it is an early-stage weapon, it can definitely give people a huge advantage in the early stages. With it, defeating the Poison King should not be a problem!
"Elder Artus, do you still have Miracle Coins? Lend me a few thousand copper coins first."

Artus said unhappily, "I've only been in Miracle City for a few days. Where did all these Miracle Coins come from?"

He added in his mind.

Don’t say that there really aren’t so many miracle coins.

Even if I have it, I won’t lend it to you. Why should I lend it to you, you damn lich? Miracle Coins are an important strategic resource!

At this time.

An adventurer has bid up to 3 silver coins.

Vesalos spoke directly into the chat channel: "Friend, I have a price. I'll pay you one thousand soul crystals for this sword of yours!"

"what?"

"One thousand soul crystals!"

"This is crazy!"

"Where did this 'Vesaros' come from? Why is he so rich and inhumane?"

"One thousand soul crystals, that's equivalent to 10 soul sands. The average monthly expenditure for an average family in Blackrock Town is 600 soul sands... That's enough for an average family to live on for thirteen years!"

"..."

All the adventurers were shocked.

They all asked about Vesaros.

Lucky Grass from Huangcao Town was even more stunned.

This seventeen-year-old adventurer from a poor family never dreamed that a secret equipment he accidentally found would bring him such a huge income!

He was using the Sharpshooter, so the Autumn Leaf Knife was useless. He originally wanted to exchange it for an equipment that he could use. If he couldn't get it, he would exchange it for some Miracle Coins. He never thought that he could sell it at such an exaggerated price.

This equates to at least several years of struggle.

Because this matter is too bizarre and exaggerated.

Lucky Grass even wondered for a moment if he hadn't woken up yet.

When someone offered 1000 soul crystals, the other adventurers stopped trying. But now there was another practical problem. The two parties were not in the same city. How could this deal be accomplished?
