Chapter 1 Bloody City
There is a bar not far from the hillside, and the inside is very lively. A large group of people were drinking and talking lively inside, men and women of all kinds. What surprised Shen Yi was that there were still people having sex (love) in public in the bar, while the people next to him turned a blind eye to it. Seeing Hong Lang and the others coming in with Shen Yi, a shirtless bald man shouted, "Hey, Hong Lang, you kid caught another stupid fish."
"That's right, how much did you earn this time? Or 300 blood points?" Another person interjected.
"It's a ghost fish." Hong Lang replied helplessly.
"Damn!" A group of people in the bar shouted at the same time: "A ghost fish has appeared? That kid is really not afraid of death?"
"That's right, he also took the initiative to shoot us." A guy behind Hong Lang said.
A group of people in the bar looked at Shen Yi with surprise and amazement at the same time, even the couple who were having sex (love) stopped moving and looked at Shen Yi with unbelievable eyes.
Shen Yi followed Hong Lang and a group of people to find a table and sit down, called the maid and ordered 50 bottles of beer, paid 1 blood point with the blood point function marked on the wrist watch, and said casually: "It's very easy for someone like me to go out." Rare?"
Hong Lang nodded: "How many people do you think can be like you, who dare to shoot back when a large group of people put guns on their heads? Don't you have to pay as many blood points as you want? I passed the newcomer level back then. At that time, I was blackmailed by hundreds of people. Later, I realized that this ghost place does not allow mutual attacks at all. I regret it. Don’t look at the group of 250s in this bar so rampant. Who the hell wasn’t exploited? Only A very small group of people escaped unharmed after knowing the situation in time because they happened to be unguarded when they appeared."
"Then how much did you earn then?"
"800 points, 300 were knocked out."
800 blood points for passing a newcomer level? Shen Yi was slightly taken aback.
He got 7800 blood points for the novice mission this time. After leaving the mission world, the blood crest automatically deducted 1000 blood points for the scarred face. Even so, there were still 6800 blood points left. Originally thought that even if most newcomers got less than themselves, the gap would not be too big, but now hearing Hong Lang say that his novice mission gains were eight times that of the other party, and he was indeed quite surprised.
"That's right." Hong Lang asked Shen Yi: "I said, what's the situation before your kid enters the newcomer mission?"
"Kill." Shen Yi replied.
"How many did you kill?"
"Seven were killed, sixteen were seriously injured, and eight of them were seriously disabled."
"Damn! No wonder you are so ruthless." Hong Lang scolded: "Then you are reincarnated from the dead. Well, this is also a way for entrants. There are many people who enter the bloody city, and everyone is different. , until now we haven’t figured out what the guy who brought us here used as the basis for bringing us in. Before I entered here, I was an ordinary worker. , came here. As for the buddies around me, some were hit by a car while walking on the road, they still belonged to the earth when they were in the air, and they passed through the fucking time when they fell, some were surfing the Internet, and some were sleeping. There is another buddy who is the most Absolutely, he was brought in during sex (love), completed the novice mission with his butt naked, and after entering the bloody city, he was nicknamed the Terminator."
Everyone laughed together, and Shen Yi also laughed a few times in a low voice.
The originally somewhat hostile atmosphere gradually relaxed as a result.
Hong Lang and the others had beer to drink, and immediately opened up the chatterbox, introducing the situation of the bloody city.
It turned out that the entire bloody city was actually a city specially developed for adventurers to survive.
The whole city is divided into five districts. They are slum area, ordinary area, apartment area, villa area and independent island. Corresponding to these five living areas, there are five different levels of task difficulty. The area where Shen Yi and the others are currently located is a slum area.
living in the slums,
Adventurers do not have their own houses, and usually can only sleep in the open air. Most adventurers sleep in simple camps. This kind of thing only needs 30 blood points to buy. Fortunately, there is no rainy season here, the weather is sunny in all seasons, and the bloody coat of arms has a storage function, so it is not too much trouble.
The slum area is the place where adventurers of the first level of difficulty live, and only those who have reached the rank of corporal can enter the ordinary area.
The military rank is the basic level of the adventurer in the bloody city, and is evaluated according to the performance of the adventurer in the mission.
Task performance is poor, average, excellent and perfect.
The promotion of the military rank requires a perfect evaluation, or two excellent evaluations, or five ordinary evaluations.
Corporals can enter the general area, second lieutenants can enter the apartment area, majors can enter the villa area, and major generals can enter the independent island. I heard that the highest can reach the marshal. And only the Marshal is eligible to enter the Tongtian Holy Pagoda in the center of the city. It is said that the final mission can be challenged there.
After completing the final mission, Blood City will grant one of your wishes.
In addition, there are five areas in the bloody city, each area has different functional facilities.
For example, if you want to upgrade your weapons, you must do it in a research institute in an ordinary area, which cannot be done in a poor area. In the apartment area, there are mercenary camps where urban mercenaries can be hired. In the villa area, there are luxury casinos, sacrificial halls, and so on.
It is not impossible for adventurers in the five difficulty areas to communicate with each other, but each time they enter and exit, they need to pay 100 blood points, and they can only stay for a limited time. If you walk from the slum area to the villa area, you need to pay 300 blood points, and then you have to pay another 300 blood points when you walk back.
It can be said that the bloody city itself is a fully functional city. There are supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants and other functional facilities, and some places have dedicated staff.
The staff are all taken by adventurers, the purpose is to earn some blood points. Like the barmaid who brought them beer just now, she is actually an adventurer, and she can get one hundred blood points for serving here every month. The job of the novice instructor with the scarred face is actually a part-time job in life.
The consumer life of everyone here depends entirely on the blood point. 1 blood point is almost equivalent to a hundred dollars in the real world, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy anything.
Bloody points are not only the guarantee of survival, but also the key to strengthening yourself. There are all kinds of weapons and skills for sale in the store in the bloody city, and you can even improve your own attributes.
In the slums, every 100 blood points can increase the attribute by 1 point. As long as enough blood points are invested, Shen Yi can completely turn himself into a powerful existence like the vampire Dracula.
As for the mission world, once the mission cannot be completed, it is often at the cost of deducting blood points. Those with insufficient blood points will be obliterated.
All in all, the blood point is the key to the strength and survival of adventurers, so it is no wonder that senior adventurers try their best to rob and deceive newcomers.
As for those items obtained from the quest world, blood points can also be exchanged. It's just that the item trading function must be opened three hours after the novice enters the city. Therefore, veteran adventurers cannot rob newbies. This may be the city's protection measures for newcomers, so that newcomers will not lose everything because of being blackmailed.
However, for many adventurers, robbing newcomers is not a good idea, unnecessary enmity will probably bring unnecessary troubles to themselves after entering the mission world in the future. This is also the reason why Hong Lang only blackmailed 300 points - this number can try to prevent some newcomers from looking for you in the mission world due to their huge hatred after being blackmailed, and later gradually became the bloody city convention Rules—Leave a way out for newcomers and a way out for yourself.
Of course, there are also some people who are not taboo about meat and vegetables, and the lions open their mouths and grab as much as they can, but such people can easily arouse public anger, and the result is that they die early in the task world.
Therefore, in the bloody city, there are those who live professionally, those who rob newcomers, those who waste their time, those who are drunk and dreaming of the dead, those who practice hard, and those who don't know how to get by.
Different people choose different ways of life.
The content about the bloody city is huge and complicated. After Hong Lang talked for a long time, Shen Yi gradually understood.
"Everything about the bloody city, except for the memories the city gave you when you first came here, all the other secrets must be found by ourselves. All the answers and rules, some of which you have explored by yourself, and some of them It's just heard. There may be rumors, there may be truth, but no one knows the truth unless it goes that far. And even if it is true, so what? Marshal... How many people can hold the rank of the military in this world of life and death? Promoted to this level? Anyway, I have never heard of it, nor have I seen it."
Speaking of this, Hong Lang's tone was a bit sad, his eyes were full of despair, and he obviously didn't think he was qualified to go that far.
Not everyone can be as calm as Shen Yi about the environment they are in.
Shen Yi also finally understands why there are even people who have sex in the street in this bar. In this environment where they don't know whether they will live or die tomorrow, many people have already begun to let go of the traditional moral and legal constraints, and enjoy the life while they are alive. Every inch is gone.
Shen Yi patted Hong Lang's shoulder: "Forget it, why are you so sad. I really think this place is not bad, I like this place."
Hong Lang stared blankly at him for a long time before he said, "Pervert. Do you know? Anyone who says he likes this place will either die young or become very powerful."
"Then I must be the latter." Shen Yi replied with a smile.
———————————
After introducing the general situation of the bloody city, Shen Yi learned some other things from Hong Lang.
For example, if you want to strengthen yourself, you must go to a specialized store. There, as long as one hundred blood points are used, a little attribute can be strengthened. Weapons and skills can also be purchased in the shop. Taking D-level as the standard, 3000 blood points per D-level, double D is 6000, C-level is 9000, double C is 18000, the higher the level, the more expensive the price, of course, the more powerful.
In addition, to learn various abilities, not only need to spend a huge amount of blood points, but also the corresponding basic abilities.
The so-called basic ability is divided into spear specialization, archery specialization, fighting specialization, water-based specialization, mechanical specialization, blasting specialization, etc., divided into five levels: basic, advanced, expert, master, and grandmaster. These basic abilities are the basic requirements for adventurers to learn and use skills. Except for the basic abilities that can be obtained directly by spending blood points, they can only be improved through hard training, or they can only be improved through ability scrolls.
The ability system of the bloody city is mainly divided into five categories: skills, talents, abilities, skills and bloodlines.
Among them, skills need to occupy the combat skill column, which can directly kill the target, which belongs to the most direct need of combat.
Ability requires a natural ability column, and most abilities cannot directly kill the target.
Bloodline and skills do not need to occupy the ability column, but one needs cheats plus blood points to learn, and the other needs corresponding blood plus blood points.
Adventurers can choose a variety of skills to practice, but bloodlines can only choose one, but they often have some special racial skills. For example, if you have an intermediate vampire bloodline, you can use the vampire racial skill blood-sucking technique.
As for talent, it is the adventurer's own ability. With a certain aspect of talent, you can be more efficient in learning this type of skill, and there is a great chance to generate a mutation skill, but this aspect cannot be obtained through rewards, and the effect is completely different from person to person.
Therefore, in the early days of adventurers, most adventurers first choose some combat skills to learn, but in the future, if they want to be truly strong, they must work hard in three aspects: abilities, bloodlines, and skills.
After explaining this part, Hong Lang basically said everything he knew.
Exchange of 50 blood points for this information is quite satisfactory for both parties. Some questions about Shen Yi that I didn't understand at first, and questions that I still had doubts about, suddenly became clear, and the goal of my efforts gradually gained direction.
Although he gained a lot in this novice mission, according to Hong Lang, there is almost no limit to the strengthening of adventurers, and it depends on how hard you work.
Feeling relieved from the shadow of fraudulent failure, Hong Lang personally poured Shen Yi a full glass of wine: "I said brother, I haven't asked what your name is yet."
"My name is Shen Yi."
"What kind of novice mission did you do this time? Seeing that you are so bold, you probably got a lot of benefits from the mission, right?"
"It's okay." Shen Yi replied lightly: "Fan Haixin."
"Damn it, it's a small probability to bump into a magical world." Hong Lang muttered, "The slums are the first difficulty world, and most of the mission scenes are gun battle scenes. After all, for us who come to the city For those who haven’t been around for a long time, guns are always the best to use. Only those adventurers above the normal zone will feel that fists are better than guns. I don’t know if you are lucky to encounter the magical world when you first came Bad or lucky."
"It's good luck to come out alive." Shen Yi said lightly.
Someone not far away shouted: "The difficulty of the magic world is a little bit higher, but the mission rewards are also generous. I think this kid has a lot of guts. I bet he will never choose 25% difficulty, not 100% Fifty percent difficulty is 100 percent difficulty."
"One hundred percent." Shen Yi replied.
There was a murmur from the crowd.
Everyone knows how difficult 100% difficulty is.
"Then you should have gained a lot. Even if you can't kill Dracula, you will still benefit a lot." Another person said.
Shen Yi turned his head: "How do you know that I can't kill Dracula?"
Hong Lang immediately said: "No one has done it before. The novice missions are basically fixed, and we are very clear about which missions there are. Dracula is the final boss of Van Helsing's world, and it only appears on the difficulty above 50%. Difficulty is full state. No rookie has killed that guy on 100% difficulty, and someone has killed that guy on 50% difficulty, but it is very rare. Some novices have challenged Deku on 100% difficulty Lah, all failed. Fortunately, the failure of the task will not obliterate the newcomers, so a few people escaped fortunately. Anyone who can escape from Dracula with 100% difficulty is now a bully in the bloody city It is said that Dracula has 3,000 HP after transformation, and his skill attack is even more terrifying. Even for us now, it is a difficult trouble to deal with, let alone you rookies."
Shen Yi nodded: "Yes."
The expression on his face was very calm, which made Hong Lang a little confused.
"I said...you're not going to tell me you killed Count Dracula, are you?"
Shen Yi smiled but did not answer.
The whole bar suddenly fell silent.
Everyone stared at Shen Yi in a daze.
After thinking about it, Shen Yi said: "No matter how powerful the boss is, it has only one meaning of existence - to be killed by others."
