Chapter 279 Traveling Together
The mission location is not far away. The teleportation array can directly reach a nearby city. It only takes 20 minutes to get there on horseback. However, the surrounding environment becomes more and more strange as we walk along the way.
The original mission location was a small mountain village, but this mountain village was not a system town or a stronghold established by players, but a leveling area. Yes, although it is a village, it is not the kind of place where players can rest and resupply. It is a rather dangerous leveling area, because it is marked as S-level high-risk on our guild map. Areas. So far, there are only more than a hundred areas marked at this level in China. Don’t think that this number is a lot. You must know that our country is as big as 9.6 million square kilometers! Besides, the map in the game includes a lot of hyperspace and underground caves, and the actual area is much larger than the real territory of China. There are only about a hundred areas in such a large land that can reach this level of danger. From this, you can imagine how dangerous this area is.
We generally don’t recommend that our professional players enter such a place, but of course we don’t completely avoid it. Our guild has a team that is responsible for opening maps and exploring such high-risk areas. Of course, the exploration team is different from the elite team that does tasks. The elite team is mainly responsible for clearing tasks, while the exploration team only needs to run around the map. It does not necessarily have to conquer the BOSS. The pertinence is different, and the specialties are naturally different. .
Since this mission location is marked on my map. That means it is a map that has been explored, otherwise it should be completely black. However, even if it has been explored, it does not necessarily mean that there is no danger. On the contrary, since it has been marked as a high-risk area. That means this place is definitely inaccessible to ordinary players. When that guy from Bear Claw enters a place like this, he will definitely return to the city in a matter of minutes. Fortunately, that guy actually changed his account to a smaller account. Isn't this deliberately causing trouble for me?
"Hey, isn't that Ziri?" I was standing at the entrance of the forest outside the village in a daze when I suddenly heard someone talking behind me. When I looked back, I found a large group of players walking slowly towards me.
This group of people is obviously a team because the professional mix is very complete. And just by looking at the position, you can tell that this is a small team. Even if the temporarily recruited team can be matched up with different professions, the positions are definitely in a mess. After all, they are not acquaintances, so there will always be some problems with coordination.
The person who just spoke was a young-looking player in the team. There was a priest girl leaning against this guy. She obviously had a very good relationship with him. She was almost obsessed with him.
See me looking back. A player at the front of the team immediately pointed at me and shouted in surprise: "Ziri, it's really Ziri."
"Is it strange to see me in a place like this?" I asked casually as a conversation, because I also wanted to get some intelligence support from them. After all, these people didn't look like they were here for the first time. It seems that this kind of team often has a lot of little information that others don't know. Although it is not of great use, it can make your task much easier. It would be fine if I had to conquer the mission by myself. The key point is that although I didn’t see the Xiong Claw alt, its level is definitely not high, otherwise I wouldn’t be called an alt. Therefore, in order to ensure that the burden does not die inexplicably, the best way is to clarify some precautions here in advance.
Hearing my answer, the other party was stunned for a moment. Then the young man broke free from the girl's hand and ran over and asked, "Are you really Ziri?"
"What? Is someone here pretending to be me?"
"That's not true, I just didn't expect to meet a big shot like you in a place like this."
"I'm just a higher level, but after all, I'm still a player! It's not weird to do a mission, right?" I said in as gentle a tone as possible.
The other party said a little shyly: "You may not think it yourself, but in our opinion, players like you are almost the same as those big stars. I am so excited to see you. Can we take a photo?"
I didn't expect that the other party would have such a request, which made me a little stunned. But it was nothing, so I immediately nodded and said, "Of course."
When I said yes, the other person immediately rushed up and started taking photos with me. However, these people knew how to measure things. They were not crazy fans. They just took a few pictures and that was it. After they finished filming, I said, "Do you often come here to do missions?"
"We come here often, but not to do tasks, but to make money."
"make money?"
"Yeah. This place produces a very special material. Although not many people need it, there are still quite a few. And because the output of this kind of thing is small, the price is very good. When we are short of money, we usually come here to get some and sell them back. . Of course, we think this kind of thing is quite good, but we may not like it for a big shot like you."
I didn't answer his words, but explained: "I am actually here to help people with tasks. The other person is a small account with a very low level. I have inquired about this place before and it seems to be a high-risk area. I myself Although the strength is very strong, I am not sure about bringing a small account. So what... you often come in and out here, can you tell me some things to pay attention to? Don't worry, I won't let you do it in vain, I can provide information fees. "
"No money is needed. It's not important information anyway, but this place is really not suitable for novices. No, it can't be said that it is not suitable for novices, but it should be said that it is not suitable for players whose psychological quality is not up to par."
"what does it mean?"
"It means that level and attributes are useless here. What matters here is personal strength. I mean your own strength, which has little to do with attributes and equipment."
"Is there such a place?"
"Actually, there are many places like this in the game, but places like the pass are areas that players don't like to get close to. After all, there are usually equipment and attributes that are at the bottom, and everyone is used to it. Suddenly entering this kind of place where you purely rely on combat consciousness to pass the level. In this area, most players will feel that they are unable to do what they want. To be honest, we don’t want to come to a place like this. It’s just because of money that we can’t help it!”
I nodded and said, "So what exactly do you need to pay attention to when bringing a novice here?"
"There are a lot of things to pay attention to. This ghost place is full of ghosts, and they are not foreign ghosts like ghosts, but the kind of ghosts in our country's legends. Ordinary attacks are completely ineffective. Those ghosts will attack you They appear nearby and use various methods to scare you or talk to you. They just keep irritating you. But no matter what they do, you just need to remember one thing, that is, ignore them."
"What do you mean ignore him?"
"The ghosts in this village are similar to the ghosts mentioned in those ghost movies in our country. They cannot directly kill people, they can only interfere with your thinking. So, as long as you ignore them, they will not be able to do anything to you. But once you have any kind of interaction with these ghosts, that's trouble. If you are scared by them, their strength will increase. The higher your fear level and the longer it lasts, the stronger these guys will be. Strong, and once their strength reaches a certain level, they can directly kill you, and then it will be really dangerous."
"I think I kind of understand how things work here."
"No, you don't understand." A slightly older Taoist player in the team said: "In addition to absorbing fear, those ghosts will also absorb your willpower. No matter what, don't make eye contact with them. Once your eyes meet, the power in you will immediately begin to be absorbed by the other person. If you keep looking like this, you will be sucked into someone sooner or later. Also, you must never talk to them, because as long as you talk to them, they will They can touch you. If you don't talk to them, those ghosts are just a phantom to you. Your attack on them is invalid, and their attacks on you are also invalid. But once you talk to them, then they can Attacked you."
I nodded and said, "In that case, should I just cover the eyes of the person I brought and tell him in advance not to speak no matter what he hears?"
"Maybe, but not necessarily. We are used to it anyway, just ignore them. But these are the tricks used to deal with the wandering souls in the village. After the village, there is a short mountain road. Just continue along the mountain road. Walk to a large mass grave. That is the main area of the map. Once there, you can only rely on the skills that can deal with ghosts and your own fighting consciousness to carry it, and there are not only Ghosts, and a lot of zombies and stuff, it’s pretty scary anyway.”
"Ghosts and zombies shouldn't scare me. Just don't mess with my clients."
"Customer?" The young man looked at me in surprise, obviously not understanding why I said customer.
I quickly explained: "Didn't I say it before? I don't do tasks myself, I help others do tasks. I'm just hired to do tasks, and the other person is my employer."
"A person of your level still wants to be a mercenary?" The young man's jaw almost dropped in surprise.
"Is this weird? I've said it before, I'm just a bit higher level and stronger. In the final analysis, I'm still a player. Why wouldn't someone hire me for a mission? Of course, my appearance fee is very high. Most people really I can’t afford it.”
"It turns out your employer is a rich man!"
"That guy is not a rich man, but our guild needs his help to do something that only he can do, so in exchange, I want to help him complete the task."
"No wonder." After the young man finished speaking, he suddenly looked at me excitedly and asked, "By the way, since you are going in too, can we come with you? Don't worry, we won't cause you any trouble. Follow you and see how you fight."
"It's up to you. Just agree first that your troubles need to be solved by yourself. I'm on a mission this time, not my own leveling, so everything must prioritize the safety of my employer."
"You don't have to worry about this. We are responsible for our own casualties. Anyway, there will always be some small losses every time we come to this place. I have already gotten used to it."
"Okay, let's go in together." (To be continued ~^~)
