The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

Chapter 129 Raid on the Camp

To be honest, anything, including water and air, can be infused with blood and qi to exert an influence on it.

Strictly speaking, replacing the copper pillars used in the old days with a large stone would have had a similar effect.

"That makes sense." Ke Yun's eyes lit up, indicating her agreement.

"The criterion for judgment should be the loss of blood and energy invested."

Seeing that others agreed, Peng Zhi spoke with more confidence: "If you put your blood and energy into bone knives and stone axes, some of your blood and energy will be wasted."

At this point, he showed off the spear in his hand: "But this one in my hand, I've tried it. I transferred my own blood energy into it, and there was basically no loss. Whatever I put in is what I get."

White-quality equipment has poor capacity to absorb and conduct blood energy, while green-quality equipment can achieve near-perfect absorption.

"I understand." Campus Spring Colors rubbed the armor she was wearing with her thumb: "Only green quality is true commitment."

Although it sounded strange, Peng Zhi nodded.

"If that's the case, then green is already lossless, so what about the higher quality ones?"

A player suddenly interrupted.

Upon hearing this voice, Peng Zhi, Gou Ge, and the others who were sitting around discussing couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

The person who interrupted looked unfamiliar; he was in his early twenties with a pale, cool complexion, and was probably a new player who had just gained access to the game.

The game is called Ancestor of Vampires.

His features were quite refined, and he certainly lived up to his game title of "Ancestor of Vampires".

Seeing these veteran players staring at him, the Ancestor of Vampires remained unfazed and continued, "You're all old players, you should know better than me, right? Logically speaking, blue quality and higher should increase the amount of blood energy invested."

Ke Yun clapped her hands together and said, "Gui Zhi, you look like a college student, right? Want to join us?"

Is this a good idea?

The demon barely managed to maintain a facade of composure.

However, it was clear that he was stunned by the abbreviation "Ke Yun": "I want to familiarize myself with the gameplay first."

Peng Zhi didn't extend an invitation, but turned to look at everyone: "I think what Gui Zhi said makes a lot of sense. Blue quality and above are most likely to be blood energy amplification."

"In short, guessing these things is useless."

Dog Bro suddenly stood up: "If we could get a piece of blue-quality equipment, the answer would be obvious."

Since equipment quality doesn't require identification, you can see the displayed equipment quality in your personal interface simply by holding it or wearing it.

He waved to the spring scenery on campus and the group of men with meat on their hands.

"Let's go out and try our luck."

Dog Bro always acts in such a whirlwind.

After finalizing the plan in a few words, he left the newbie village with his old buddies.

Because the update added 300 players at once, the entrance to the Creekstone Tribe was now teeming with people, and the noise almost shook the morning mist off.

The once empty open space was now densely packed with players, numbering at least four or five hundred at a glance. There were unfamiliar new players everywhere, so Dog Brother and his group's departure wouldn't attract any attention.

Seeing that Peng Zhi and Keyun had also gotten up to do their own things, Gui Zhi suddenly asked, "Don't you need to be careful when you go out?"

""

Ke Yun had a good impression of Gui Zhi, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry about that. Don't underestimate them just because they're old. They're quite strong in combat. There aren't any powerful monsters near the beginner village."

"What I mean is, aren't you worried that other players will kill people and loot their gear?"

"what?"

"Didn't you say on the official forum that in the previous versions, you could loot equipment from other players' corpses and use it immediately?"

"Yeah." Keyun looked blank.

Peng Zhi stopped in his tracks, seemingly lost in thought.

Gui Zhijian still didn't understand what he was trying to say, so he simply asked bluntly, "Then why did this version update specifically add a clause that allows other players to freely pick up equipment left behind after a player dies? Isn't that redundant?"

"The development team is encouraging PvP."

Peng Zhi stopped acting and gave his opinion: "This is normal. Mediocre designers force players to play the game in the direction they designed by cutting out opposing gameplay elements."

A skilled development team will guide the player's gameplay through the design of the rules.

At this point, Peng Zhi grinned, a rare occurrence for him: "But why should players play according to the designer's intentions? I can't control others, but it's my own account, I can play however I want."

Shanyun Military Department.

On the mountains in the central area of ​​the Ministry of War, shouts of battle shook the heavens.

The depression in the center of the mountaintop, where flags flutter and horns sound, is the strongest defensive line of this camp.

However, at this moment, this once solemn and dignified camp has been transformed into a battlefield of carnage. The towering flames have turned half the sky crimson, and thick smoke has billowed, obscuring the originally clear sunlight.

The fierce battle came without warning, yet it was extremely brutal.

The soldiers of the Ministry of War, clad in standard leather armor, clashed with the soldiers of the Howling Clan who had come from beyond the light barrier. The clanging of metal against metal, the dull thud of weapons entering flesh, and the screams of the dying intertwined, creating a symphony of death.

Outside the light screen of the post road, Commander Shan Tao was wielding a huge battle axe, roaring as he directed and commanded his troops.

His armor was splattered with dark red blood, indistinguishable between that of the enemy and his own.

At his feet lay a dozen or so corpses, some of them enemies, others of his own men.

"Hold on! Left wing, hold on!" Shan Tao's roar was hoarse, but it carried an undeniable authority.

It all started three hours earlier.

Aside from two small groups of the Howling Clan breaking out of the post road, everything had been completely calm.

Faced with a heavily guarded camp, two small teams of less than a hundred men each couldn't even manage to cause a disturbance.

Perhaps it was this probing that made Shan Yunbingbu relax a little.

Until the early hours of this morning, when the guards were at their most tired.

Huge rocks, coated in kerosene and set ablaze, were thrown through the center of the post road and into the mountaintop camp in one go.

At the same time, a large number of Roaring Clan warriors, who had already prepared their troops, quickly rushed into the camp through the post road.

This seems to be exactly the way General Yihou is best at leading troops.

By investing more resources than initially planned, an imbalance of power between the two sides can be created in a short period of time.

This asymmetrical investment of resources, if not handled properly, can easily lead to the current situation.

It's like you're on defense, and you know the enemy will attack your camp sooner or later.

However, when the enemy launched their attack on the camp, they deployed their forces in a decisive manner, committing their entire army to the attack.

Even with some preparation, one cannot withstand this level of pressure all at once.
