Volume 18, Chapter 153: The Fourth in the World Was Defeated in Seconds

Chapter 153: The fourth in the world was defeated in seconds

We were also confused about the question about gold coins. We looked around for a long time but couldn't find the figure of Omatsumoto Masaru. The rocks above our heads were cracking more and more seriously, and we couldn't see the bottom of the abyss under our feet. I don't know when a more obvious dark red bright line appeared. Judging from the current situation, it goes without saying that the line below is also lava.

"President." I was looking around for Masamoto Matsumoto when I suddenly heard Kristina calling me.

"What's up?"

"Over there." Kristina suddenly pointed towards the opposite side of us, and following her finger, I immediately saw another rock wall that echoed the rock wall we grabbed. However, unlike the complete rock wall on our side, the rock wall on the opposite side is full of large and small cracks.

"The rock wall over there is about to break, but is there anything special about it?" I turned around and asked Kristina in confusion. Although the collapse of the rock wall over there is also very dangerous for us, after all, we are so far away, even if it is dangerous, it may not really do anything to us, so I am very curious about why Kristina reacted so much.

Seeing that I didn't understand, Kristina simply recited the spell silently, turned over and pointed to the opposite side. A strong white light suddenly shot out from her fingertips, casting it directly on the opposite rock wall like a searchlight. A fairly large light spot appeared.

"Holy crap! Everyone, pay attention, run up quickly."

Because it was dark underneath, we didn't see it clearly, but with Kristina's guidance, we finally understood it. It turned out that the dark-looking things on the opposite rock wall were not cracks, but monsters with bodies that looked like centipedes and wings on their backs. I asked why those cracks were always moving around. After working on them for a long time, they were simply living things.

After hearing my words, the gold coins and the others reacted very quickly, and one by one they quickly started running up the rock wall. I haven't had time to retract my own dragon's tendon rope, and now the rope head is still nailed to the top of the rock wall far away from here, which will serve as a traction belt for me to climb. The connection between the Dragon Tendon Rope and the Shenlong Suit is equipped with a wire release device. This thing functions like a multi-functional device with two-way functions of braking and traction and stirring. When I was just decelerating my descent, I used this thing to provide moderate braking and traction to achieve a slow descent, and now it is time for its other function to take effect. As the dragon tendon rope quickly retracted, I stood directly on the rock wall, running my feet along the rock wall as if running on flat ground. Although they all have their own methods for gold coins, in terms of speed, I am the fastest.

Originally, at this speed, I could rush to the top first, but considering that those monsters are very strong... no, there will be no such thing. Those things must be very powerful. This duel scene is specially for us to duel, and it is not a place for leveling, so there are no wild monsters. Needless to say, the winged centipede-like creatures below are definitely monsters spawned by the system just like the previous group of crab- and dragon-like creatures. Their purpose is to fight against us. How could such a creature not be strong?

Now the strongest person on our side is me. Although I run the fastest, I can't leave the gold coins and leave them alone, so the only way now is to slow down and deliberately fall to the end to give them the rear. Otherwise, they will Once the strength is surrounded, it is estimated that it will not be so easy to escape.

I was hesitating whether to stand there and wait for Kristina and the others to pass by themselves, or whether I should take the initiative to run down. Suddenly I saw a flash of strong wind next to me, and then I heard a voice shouting to me: "Boss, spears can fly." .”

"What?" Before I could realize what was going on, I saw Kristina and the others flashing past me one by one on their guardian spears. The speed was even faster than when we fell before.

"Holy shit, is this okay?" Since Kristina and the others have run away, wouldn't I be a fool if I stayed here? Unexpectedly, the spear's spray gun method can actually fly. It is obviously an idiot to continue to use it to run. I no longer hesitated, and with a flick of my hands and wrists, the two rope heads embedded in the rock wall immediately bounced up automatically, and then were quickly retracted into my wrists under the action of the take-up device. While retracting the dragon tendons, I kicked off the rock wall and jumped back, then spread my wings and started to flap. What surprised me was that after the power of the jump was exhausted, I did not rise upwards, but began to fall down. However, my reaction was quite quick. I found that this wing could not generate lift, and I immediately understood the reason. It seems that the reason we fell before was not because the system prohibited the ability to fly in this area, but because the flight method was disabled. What is obviously ineffective is just the flying method of generating updrafts by waving wings, and the jet shooting method used by the spears is obviously not affected by any attack. After understanding the reason, I no longer let myself fall down, but opened my wings violently again. The four nozzles hidden under the wings simultaneously sprayed out dazzling blue and white flames, and my whole body jumped up violently. He went up and quickly caught up with Kristina and the others, and started to fly upwards at the same speed as them.

After we took off and escaped, the monsters below finally started to move. We had discovered before that these guys had wings under the light of Kristina's beam, so we were not surprised that these guys could fly. However, one thing that makes us feel very depressed is that the system scene is obviously engaged in differential treatment. Those guys obviously only have a pair of bat-like flesh wings, and the wings are obviously not proportional to the size of these guys, but these centipede-like monsters actually fly like this, and the speed is unexpectedly fast.

We originally thought that with the speed of the spear, once it flew up, nothing would be able to catch up with us. But after we flew for a while, Jin Coin accidentally looked back and suddenly shouted: "Speed ​​up, those things are catching up!"

When I heard Gold Coin's cry, I quickly turned around and took a look, but was shocked because among the centipedes below, there were actually two very large individuals rushing towards us at an extremely terrifying speed.

"Damn, you're not like this, are you? Everyone, pay attention, turn on the supersonic assault, you can't get rid of them at normal speed!"

After Kristina and the others heard my shouting, they quickly launched the supersonic assault. But what they didn't expect was that after we accelerated, the guys below actually started to accelerate too, and the distance between us was getting closer and closer. got up.

"President, running away like this is not an option!" Seeing the monster behind me getting closer and closer, a real red voice came from my headphones. Now that we have launched a supersonic assault, the speed is faster than sound. Except for the communicator, there is no way to communicate with each other by shouting.

I was sweating when I heard what Zhen Hong said. It is said that creatures that fly with wings have a speed limit. In theory, they should not be able to catch up with the spears that enter supersonic mode. But the problem is that this is a game world. Although it is impossible in reality, in the game, nothing is impossible. possible. Besides, what we are in now is a top-level duel scene. This is no longer a normal game space, so it is understandable that the laws of the world have changed here.

Although I can understand the reason for the abnormal speed of those monsters, it does not mean that I am happy that these guys can catch up with us, but now it is not me who has the final say, but the system, so even if I am not satisfied It's no use either. But now that we don’t want to be caught up, it’s better to find a way.

"Kristina, gold coins."

"Yes." They both answered together.

"Your spells and flying swords can attack from a distance. Why don't you form a protective wall behind us? I don't think they can maintain such a fast speed despite our attacks, right?"

"Then let's try."

Although the spears Kristina and the others were stepping on relied on the jet gun principle to fly, they were not airplanes, but living creatures. Just like a war horse will never hit a tree even if there is no rider on it, the flight of the spears does not actually require human control at all. Usually what we call commanding a spear to fly is nothing more than telling them where to fly and whether they need to fly faster or slower now. This is completely different from flying an airplane. So now if Kristina and Jin Coin need to turn around and attack backwards, they only need to order their spears to follow our flight. There is no need to be distracted by commanding the spears to fly while turning around to attack.

Under the command of Jin Coin, her sword formation quickly started to move, and she rushed towards the group of monsters below, and then she saw a large blood flower burst out in the air. Kristina's attack arrived almost at the same time as hers, but the effect was even more astonishing. The big centipedes chasing us were like flies that had been sprayed with insecticide and fell away in pieces. Totally vulnerable.

"Huh?" The two people who discovered their brilliant military exploits were obviously stunned for a moment. After hearing their voices, I looked back and was shocked.

"What's going on?" There was obviously a large group of monsters missing behind me, which made me very surprised. It was as if you were being chased by an army one second, and then found that the army was all full of monsters the next second. The patient is about to collapse when the wind blows, but you are like a superman. Although I was slightly shocked, I was not stupid. I was stunned for only a second or two before I realized what was going on. This situation is obviously not because Kristina and the others are too strong, but because the monster is too weak. "No, those are just little monsters, the big ones haven't come out yet!"

When we were being chased before, among the group of little monsters there were two guys that were obviously much larger than the same kind, and they were also very fast. At that time, I thought those two were adults, but now I think that's not the case. Because those two big guys were also killed by Kristina and the others like wheat. Combined with the group of crab-like and dragon-like monsters that were spawned by the system last time, it seems that the following things are basically the younger brothers of the bosses. The six big monsters before also appeared with a bunch of small monsters of different sizes, but we discovered the big monsters and the small monsters at the same time, so we immediately understood the difference between bosses and small monsters, but Now because the environment below the ground crack is unclear, we did not see where the big monster was, which led to us getting the situation wrong.

Kristina and the others are not stupid either. They understood after I finished speaking, but now we have no other choice but to run. As we flew upward for a longer time, the surroundings suddenly lit up, and a few of us rushed out of the cracks in the ground like missiles. However, as we flew up, our hearts also lifted up.

The moment we rushed out of the surface, next to us, less than fifty meters away from us, a big hole suddenly exploded in the ground, and then we saw a huge centipede shape with a diameter of more than fifty meters and a body length of hundreds of meters. The creature broke through the ground and followed us into the sky.

"Damn, it turns out the real owner is here!"

"Everyone spread out." As I shouted, the monster also turned its head, and as a burst of electric light flashed on the two antenna-like tentacles on its head, a blue thunderbolt suddenly broke away from the monster's head. The tentacles flew towards us. Although I shouted quickly, the end result was not very good. Kristina was directly pierced by a bolt of lightning, and her entire upper body was instantly blown into powder, while her lower body, which had lost its vital organs, rolled off the back of the spear and fell into the abyss below.

Instant kill. Kristina, who was ranked fourth in the world's combat power list in her full body, was actually killed. Even if Kristina is not good at defense, even if she was caught by surprise, even if she has various excuses, she is still fourth on the combat power list! He was actually killed in one move? What kind of attack power is required to do this?

"President, don't be in a daze, hurry up and save people." At this time, Yingquan was the fastest to respond. She shouted and completely pulled us out of the shock.

I quickly opened the door to the earth and pulled the rose out immediately. Then I pointed at the half of Kristina's body below that had not disappeared from sight and said: "Save people quickly."

Originally, Kristina had been blown away half of her body, so she was considered dead. But who is Rose? She is a resurrection mage. There are only two resurrection mages in the world with a higher level than Rose, but the resurrection skills of those two are not as high as Rose. In addition, Rose relies on the strong financial resources of the Frost Rose Alliance to buy and rob special equipment, we can It is no exaggeration to say that Rose is the first resurrection mage in the world.

The death penalty setting of the game "Zero" is a bit strange. Although most people think that its setting is similar to that of ordinary games, in that you lose one level every time you die, but in fact it is not like that at all. Strictly speaking, the death penalty in "Zero" should be two levels lost after one death, not one level as most people think. The reason why many people default to the setting of losing a level once you die is because of the existence of the Resurrection Mage profession.

After the last system upgrade of "Zero", the souls of dead players after death have been set to a selectable state. That is, after death, players can choose to stay on the battlefield in the form of souls, or be directly teleported back to the nearest or in compliance with system rules. Resurrection Hall. However, no matter whether you choose to be transported or stay, you will eventually have to find a resurrection mage to help you transform your soul and resurrect you. There is a problem with success rate in this process. If the resurrection is successful, the death penalty will be halved, that is, you will only lose one level. If the resurrection fails, you must accept the full penalty, that is, you will drop two levels directly. However, because the profession of resurrection mage is almost a full-time nanny, and the combat effectiveness is often weaker than that of professional priests, so the people who practice resurrection mage are simply rare. Except for the big guilds who have plans to fund some people to specialize in When practicing this profession, *** players generally will not choose this profession. Because of this, most players go to the Resurrection Hall to find the system resurrection mage for resurrection, and the failure rate of the system resurrection mage is relatively low, so many people choose to forget that they will lose two levels after death, and instead I think you only lose one level at a time. After all, except for a few unlucky people, most of them will only lose one level every time they die.

However, although this probability is small, it cannot be said that this penalty rule does not exist. However, compared to this penalty rule of losing two levels at a time, there is actually another rule that allows you to die without losing levels.

I mentioned before that the probability of system resurrection mages' resurrection spells failing is very low, but similarly, they have stable skills and don't know anything about more advanced things, so if you go to them, you can guarantee that you won't drop two levels directly, but It is impossible to avoid punishment. However, the resurrection mage profession among players is different. Although the player's resurrection failure rate is surprisingly high when the skill level and character level are very low, the situation will be completely reversed in the later stages. When a resurrection mage's character level exceeds level 900 and his other resurrection skills reach level 20, his resurrection skill will automatically evolve into a first-level advanced resurrection skill. Although this advanced resurrection technique also has the possibility of resurrection failure, the biggest difference between it and ordinary resurrection techniques is that in addition to the probability of failure, the advanced resurrection technique also has a probability of explosion. Once it breaks out, the result is that not only do you not have to lose two levels, but you don't even need to lose one level. You can completely avoid the death penalty, just like you are not dead at all. Moreover, since the resurrection mage among the players can go out with the army and does not have to squat in the resurrection hall all the time, in theory, the advanced resurrection mage among the players can resurrect the players who died in the battle. With a little bit of luck, they can even resurrect them. Make a person immortal. It means that you have just been hacked to death, and the resurrection mage behind you immediately helps you to resurrect, and then you are lucky enough to be hit by the explosive resurrection spell, and then there is no penalty, and all the takeaway status is restored. This result is not so much a self-inflicted one. It is appropriate to wait for comprehensive rest and treatment. After all, some poisons or curses cannot be dispelled, but death can dispel most negative states except for a few curses, so this kind of penalty-free resurrection is theoretically more powerful than top-level healing techniques. If you are more lucky and are resurrected without any damage even after dying seven or eight times, then I guess your enemy will go crazy. As soon as I cut you down, you got up again, and then continued to work with him as if nothing had happened. You keep tossing and turning like this, and no one can resist him!

The above is actually only the situation at the first level of the advanced resurrection technique. Although the skill level of players who practice the resurrection mage profession continues to rise, the failure rate of this advanced resurrection technique will continue to decrease while the explosion rate will gradually increase. When the advanced resurrection technique exceeds level ten, the failure rate will disappear, which means that you will either die and lose one level, or you will be directly resurrected without damage. When this level reaches level 20, the probability of resurrection without damage will reach 100%. Eighty, that is, five people were resurrected, four were undamaged, and one only lost one level. Generally, being able to do this is considered very impressive, but who is Rose? She is my wife, the purse of the Frost Rose Alliance. Can the equipment she wears be comparable to the resurrection mages supported by those small guilds? Therefore, Rose's skill level is not level 20. Although all skills in the system can only be practiced up to level 20, the system does not have an upper limit on skills. In other words, although you can only upgrade your skills to level 20 through continuous training of skill proficiency, you can consider other methods to surpass this limit.

There are two ways to break through this ***. Method 1: Obtain system reward skill points. The skill improvement points rewarded by the system can be added unconditionally to any skill, including fully level 20 skills. Method 2: Obtain equipment that adds skill points. There are a very small amount of equipment in "Zero" that can add skill points. Although equipment that only adds resurrection is hard to find, there are still quite a lot of equipment that add one skill to all series, at least not for our Frost Rose Alliance. Too rare.

Rose has received a total of two skill points rewarded by the system before. I sent senior personnel in the guild to help her with special tasks. Therefore, Rose's basic skill of advanced resurrection is level 22, which is more than the average person. Two levels. In addition, Rose also has a ring that adds one to all skills and a bracelet that adds one to non-attack skills. In addition, the staff she is using now is a equipment used by the Resurrection Mage. It has advanced resurrection skills plus three. It's considered a high-level artifact. These three pieces of equipment provide a total of five skill levels, plus Rose's original twenty-two skills, which means a total of twenty-seven levels.

What is the effect of the advanced resurrection technique at level 27? The effect is that there is a 93% probability of being resurrected without damage, and only a 7% probability of losing one level. This kind of resurrection technique is simply abnormal to ordinary players. Think about it, if you can carry the rose with you every day, it means that on average you will die a hundred times before you drop seven levels. How terrifying is this resurrection efficiency?

Other guilds also know how powerful resurrection mages like Rose are in the later stages. It's not that they don't want such a super nurse. After all, having a nurse like Rose can be said to be carrying God with you. However, thinking about it, they couldn't cultivate such a resurrection mage at all.

First of all, although the resurrection mage profession is not a hidden profession, it is not something that everyone can choose, so more than half of them were eliminated at the beginning. The remaining players who can choose this profession account for only about 20% of the total number of players. Speaking of which, this number is quite large, but there are still *** behind it. After choosing the Resurrection Mage, you need to level up your character, which is relatively simple. Although the resurrection mage is not very powerful in combat, people can gain experience points and upgrades by healing damage to their companions. Besides, relying on team leveling, it is not difficult for any guild to raise the level of the resurrection mage. However, character level is easy to develop, but skill level is troublesome.

The only way to upgrade skills in "Zero" is to use them multiple times, and they must be used successfully to gain experience points. Regarding the skill of resurrection, the resurrection mage must use the resurrection spell on the dead player, and the resurrection must be successful. The problem is that resurrection is used to kill dead players, but when the skill level is low, the failure rate of resurrection is astonishingly high. If you fail to practice fireball, you will lose some magic points at most. For big guilds, buying more magic potions can quickly increase the skill level. But how to stack this resurrection spell? Let players go to the wild to die, and then let the resurrection mage help them resurrect and level up? Why did you lose two levels after one failure? To take a step back, even if someone agrees to die so that the resurrection mage can level up, with the poor success rate of low-level resurrection spells, how many levels must the opponent lose before he can level up his skills? Anyway, I know that if I do this at my current level, even if I die and return to Novice Village, I won’t be able to create a resurrection mage who knows advanced resurrection techniques. People who like to take advantage of loopholes may ask. A high-level player will suffer a huge loss if he dies. Can't he use low-level players to practice? Anyway, it is easy for players in their twenties to level up. Find a master to bring a few level 20 newcomers to instantly bring them to level 30, and then let them die to practice their skill proficiency with the resurrection mage. In this way, you can repeatedly bring the newcomers to life. Mage, can't you quickly cultivate a high-level resurrection mage?

Originally, many people have thought of this method, and indeed many people have used it. However, it turns out that since the main system of "Zero" has thinking beyond human beings, it must also be able to think of the loopholes that humans can think of. Therefore, skill proficiency is not simply calculated based on the number of successful resurrections, but based on the experience gained after resurrection. This method is actually an alternative application of the performance-based salary system used by real-life companies. However, in reality, how much profit you make is linked to your salary. In the game, the resurrection spell recovers how much experience points and resurrections may have been lost. Skill proficiency. If you successfully resurrect a level 1,000 player, there is a huge difference between successfully resurrecting a level 20 player. Therefore, it is not impossible to use low-level newcomers to gain proficiency, but the premise is that you Each of these dozen newcomers has to be resurrected hundreds of billions of times. If you are not tired, you can definitely fight against the system, but it will take a little longer to level up.

In fact, these are only part of the problems. After all, as long as you have perseverance, it is not impossible to reach level 20 proficiency. However, practicing until you are twenty is not everything. You must know that the success rate of non-destructive resurrection at level 20 is only 80%. If you want a higher resurrection success rate, you must rely on equipment and *** skill points. However, since the main system is so smart that it can only plug loopholes based on human psychology, it naturally knows not to let these equipments spread. Therefore, whether it is *** skill points or equipment that adds resurrection, it is not something that ordinary people can get. . Skill proficiency can also be gradually improved through diligence and perseverance, but equipment that increases skill levels and ***skill points are different. Those things cannot be obtained by hard work alone. It's like winning the lottery. Luck is often more important than hard work.

Speaking of which, Rose's resurrection power today is entirely due to the number of my demon pets. In fact, the real difficulty in honing the proficiency of resurrection skills is all in the front part. As the level gradually increases, the success rate of resurrection skills will gradually increase, which means that the further you go, the better you practice. And as the resurrection wizard's resurrection level increases, more and more people will voluntarily resurrect them. When the failure rate is high at the beginning, people are not willing to do it. As long as the level of the resurrection spell goes up, once the resurrection success rate is close to or equal to that of the NPC resurrection mage, players are usually still willing to be resurrected by the player resurrection mage. After all, the resurrection of the NPC resurrection mage is not* Damn it, they have to collect money. Although the player's resurrection of the mage is not necessarily perfect, it will not exceed the system NPC, right? Besides, if someone really dares to set a price that exceeds that of the system NPC, it must be because their resurrection spell has a higher success rate than that of the system NPC. Even if it costs more money, most people would definitely rather find such a high-insurance resurrection mage. After all, Everyone’s experience points are not in vain. Who wouldn’t want to lose one level? As for the rose, this is actually my little secret.

Rose's previous resurrection skill also had a high failure rate like others, and it was difficult to upgrade. But then I happened to have more and more magic pets, and we accidentally discovered that the player's magic pets can also be resurrected using resurrection, and the rewards and punishments are exactly the same. Originally, even if the demon pet could use resurrection, I would not let the demon pet sacrifice to level up Rose in vain. After all, the level of the demon pet is not in vain. However, because my magic pets are generally top-level creatures with extremely high levels, for a long time, my level dominated the level of my magic pets, causing them to level up despite having full experience points. Not enough. In this case, it doesn't matter whether the magic pets die or not, so I will send the magic pets to death every once in a while to practice skills for Rose. Anyway, their level is suppressed by me and they can't go up, so the experience points they gain are in vain. Rather than waste it, it's better to train Rose's skills.

It is precisely because of my method that Rose passed through the most difficult period of primary skills. After Rose's resurrection failure rate dropped to the level of the system NPC, she did not need to find it herself, others often took the initiative to send it to her. Come to her door to revive her. Later, because Rose managed the economic affairs of the Frost Rose Alliance, she rarely helped people resurrect. But at this time, her skill level was already quite high, so many people still relied on connections to find ways to revive Rose. As a result, Rose's skills were unknown. Before I knew it, I had reached level 20 of advanced resurrection technique. Finally, when we saw that she was already at such a high level, we simply gritted our teeth and helped her take on a few missions and get some equipment. As a result, Rose became the number one resurrection mage in the game. Later, someone in the meeting joked that one of us as a couple specializes in killing people and the other specializes in saving people. We are a perfect combination of angels and demons. In fact, they don't know that Rose's psychology is much more evil than mine. Although I kill people everywhere, I am the executor, and all my ideas come from Rose, so she is actually much more evil than me.
