There were two clangs, and just as Ye Miao was about to pick up the envelope, he was suddenly attacked from behind. He looked up and saw two lines of words clearly appearing above his head.
-200
-180
Ye Miao thought there was a wild monster spawning nearby, so he immediately drew out his dagger and turned around to look, only to see a human-shaped black shadow.
It's a player.
Ye Miao frowned, his gaze falling on the silver dart on the ground, judging the opponent to be an assassin. Unlike melee players who try to choose equipment and skills with high defense and high health, assassin players need high agility and high mana to support rapid skill releases, so they generally choose lighter equipment, resulting in less health and defense.
Ye Miao was eager to enjoy the fun of drawing cards and had no intention of wasting any more time. He turned the dagger in his hand and rushed straight towards the assassin.
Ever since the apocalypse system arrived, everyone was dead, so everyone was extremely cautious when encountering player attacks. The assassin hadn't anticipated her ferocity, and his heart tightened as he took two steps back.
However, within two breaths, Ye Miao had already rushed in front of him, stabbing down with the dagger in his hand. The assassin quickly raised his hand and blocked the blow with his wrist guard. He was just congratulating himself on his quick reaction when the next second he saw the numbers above his head jump:
-300
-300
-300
…
System prompt: You are affected by the negative effect [Nightmare Invasion], please leave the effect range as soon as possible.
The assassin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he finally realized that she had a passive skill that would cause negative effects. He hurriedly turned around and ran for his life, escaping from her attack range.
However, the numbers above his head continued to jump:
-300
-300
The assassin finally failed to survive the five-second skill duration. The number jumped again, and only 52 health points were left. The assassin fell to the ground.
"Ah..." Ye Miao sighed helplessly, "Isn't it good to be alive? You still have a strong addiction to being a loser."
After saying that, he reached out and put the equipment dropped by the assassin into his backpack one by one.
Then Ye Miao turned back to the fence and put the envelope away. To avoid further trouble, she didn't stay outside the shelter any longer. She walked back to the fence and went into the thatched house.
The thatched hut was very simple. There was no bed. There was only a pile of straw automatically generated by the system, which could barely serve as a bed.
However, perhaps because the surrounding environment was filled with the atmosphere of the end of the world, having such a thatched house also made people feel very safe. Ye Miao returned to the house and huddled on the straw pile, then found the envelope and opened it casually.
A white light flashed before his eyes, and the contents of the envelope quickly jumped out. Twenty cards jumped into view, floating in the air. A line of text appeared at the top: [You can select 5 cards at will].
Ye Miao: “…”
What a rip-off! All she could see was the card back! Besides the color, the patterns were exactly the same!
The original card drawing mode in the game is not like this!!!
Ye Miao was feeling depressed. While cursing the system in his mind, he clicked on the gold card in the upper left corner.
You only have one Gold Card, so don't miss out. Even if you can't use it yourself, it's still worth more than other cards if you sell it.
Then I saw the gold card display:
[Empress Dowager Cixi praised the silver buds]
【Quality: Gold】
[Description: Cooking card. After consumption, it automatically restores a certain amount of health and mana per second, lasting 12-24 hours. The cooking success rate and specific consumption effects depend on the cooking skill.]
[Required ingredients: bean sprouts*50, chicken/pork/beef*10]
"..." Ye Miao's fingers trembled, and he deeply suspected that he would be so unlucky as to turn out five cooking cards.
Why didn’t she practice cooking at that time!!!
Then she saw a pop-up window: The card in this chapter is [Cooking]. Do you want to automatically exclude other similar cards in the card pack?
It's still possible!
It seems that the system still has some humanity.
Ye Miao decisively pressed "Yes".
The three cards immediately turned gray, eliminating three useless options for Ye Miao. Ye Miao took a deep breath and selected the purple card next to the gold card.
【Advanced Healing】
【Quality: Purple】
[Description: Advanced healing method, consumes mana to restore health for yourself or others. The amount of health restored depends on the level of the healing technique.]
This one is good.
Ye Miao was very satisfied and temporarily put the cards into his backpack.
Next, she selected three more cards, one purple, one blue, and one white, namely [Fire from the Sky], [Shadowless Sword], and [Basic Bird Taming].
After looking around, Ye Miao decided to only learn [Advanced Healing] and [Shadowless Sword], and find a chance to sell the remaining two tomorrow morning.
In the game "Fantasy World", there is theoretically no limit to the skills that players can learn. As long as they want to learn, all the cards they draw can be learned with one click, lighting up every icon on the skill tree.
But in actual operation, there are actually many hidden limitations.
First of all, the quick skill bar only has 12 grids. Although passive skills and various construction and life skills do not need to be cast quickly and do not need to be counted in it, combat skills will be limited because of this.
Some novice players have no scruples when they first join the game. They spend money crazily to learn hundreds of combat skills in one go, but they can't put them into the shortcut bar. When they encounter monsters, they find that it is too late to go to the detailed panel of the skill tree to select the skills to release. They still have to select the 12 most practical ones.
Secondly, like many other classic online games, players in "Fantasy World" will obtain freely allocable attribute points after upgrading. The allocation of attribute points is actually to help players divide their professions.
For example, a mage needs high mana, an assassin needs high agility, and an archer needs blue and agility to cooperate, but the health does not need to be too high.
Ye Miao had previously played a melee swordsman, putting almost all of his attribute points into Strength. Now that he was at max level, even if he could switch classes, there was no point; he might as well just focus on learning melee skills.
Therefore, high-level wizard skills like [Fire from the Sky] are of no use to her. As for [Basic Bird Taming], although she can learn it, it is still the early stage of the game and most monsters are very low-level. If she wants to catch them, she can just rely on the full-level animal taming to capture them successfully. It is better to sell the cards she gets for money.
Although the [Shadowless Sword] is a blue card, it's exactly what a swordsman needs. As for [Advanced Healing], it was also kept because Ye Miao likes to fight monsters alone. Having a healing skill can restore health when necessary, which can reduce rest time and reduce risks.
Ye Miao pressed "Learn," and two squares on the skill tree lit up. She dragged them into the shortcut bar, and when she touched them, detailed values calculated based on her personal attributes appeared.
【Shadowless Sword】
【Quality: Blue】
[Description: After using this skill, your attack speed increases to 5.25 times within 10 seconds, your dodge chance increases by 75%, and you have a 35% chance of triggering a critical hit. The skill cooldown is 5 minutes. ①]
【Advanced Healing】
【Quality: Purple】
[Description: After using this skill, consume 1000 mana to restore 5000 health to allies within the skill range. Skill cooldown time is 2 minutes.]
Healing is a mage skill, and judging from the values calculated by the system, it is indeed not Ye Miao's strong point. Instead, the effect of the Shadowless Sword makes her feel refreshed.
5.25x attack speed! Over a one-third chance of a critical hit! She's going to slash monsters like slicing vegetables!
Ye Miao was content and happily lay down in the straw pile, ready to sleep. In the game "Fantasy World", nighttime was not actually a safe time. Both players and monsters could attack at any time. In theory, any place without a barrier stone was in danger.
However, since the game system had just been launched, the levels of both wild monsters and players were not very high, and even the boss-level night demons were just so-so. Therefore, Ye Miao did not put too much psychological burden on himself and slept very soundly.
The next day, Ye Miao got up and left the shelter and went to the Sunset Bar.
Now that the shelter is established, it's time to recruit people. Before the player trading hall appeared, the Sunset Bar was the best place in T City to release various news.
As expected, when Ye Miao walked into the Sunset Bar, he saw a bulletin board in the bar. All kinds of information could be posted on the bulletin board, and each post cost 2 gold coins.
Ye Miao thought about it, paid 6 gold coins, and posted three messages in a row. The first two were about selling cards, selling the purple spell card [Fire from the Sky] and the white card [Basic Bird Taming].
Card information was automatically generated by the system, requiring no player input. Ye Miao only needed to set a price for the cards she was selling. After careful consideration, she decided that Bird Taming wasn't very useful at the early stages, so she set the price at 500 gold. However, for the purple card, Skyfall, she carefully considered and entered a bold price of 7,000 gold.
If she could sell it successfully, she would soon be able to buy barrier stones for the shelter.
As for the [Silver Sprouts inlaid with the Empress Dowager Cixi's Praised Food], although it was a gold card, it was just a dish after all. It seemed a bit tasteless under the current circumstances. She didn't know how to price it, so she just put it aside for now.
After pressing the button to confirm the price, a prompt pops up on the panel: If the product is successfully sold, Sunset Bar will charge a 10% handling fee; if the product is cancelled, Sunset Bar will charge a 5% handling fee. Are you sure you want to consign the product?
Ye Miao pressed "Yes".
Then comes the most important member recruitment information.
Ye Miao thought about it, then cautiously clicked on other recruitments on the panel and casually glanced at a few of them.
【Name: Fearless Sanctuary】
[Owner: Wu Wei]
【Number of recruits: 10】
[Recruitment requirements: Combat skill level ≥ 30, mages and warriors are preferred.]
[Name: Serendipity Sanctuary]
[Owner: Xu Zixi]
【Number of recruits: 15】
[Recruitment requirements: Combat skill level ≥ 25, this requirement may be relaxed if necessary.]
【Name: Doomsday Sunshine Shelter】
[Owner: Shao Leilei]
【Number of recruits: 13】
[Recruitment requirements: Combat skill level ≥ 30, archers and priests preferred, warriors with purple armor preferred.]
The situation was similar to what Ye Miao had expected. Almost all shelters used combat level as the only recruitment criterion.
This recruitment method is actually very logical. When she first played this game, everyone did the same thing. For the original "indigenous residents" of this world, their peaceful lives were suddenly disrupted, and they were more likely to react with stress, thinking that strong fighting ability was the most important way to save their lives.
But her gaming experience taught her that this wasn't how the game was meant to be played. While defeating various monsters was important, if the entire team only knew how to fight, surviving would be incredibly difficult.
Besides...
Compared to other players, Ye Miao now has a huge advantage: her combat skills have been maxed out. This ability is enough to make her fearless for a short period of time, and protecting the safety of the entire shelter should not be difficult.
So Ye Miao was fearless. After flipping through the dozen or so recruitment information, he calmly clicked on the blank panel and posted his own announcement.
[Name: Get Rich Shelter]
[Owner: Ye Miao]
【Number of recruits: 29】
[Recruitment requirements: Any attribute ≥ level 20.]
After writing, I pressed the "Publish" button. A message popped up again: "After publishing this message, the recruitment information will be visible to all players, and the coordinates of the shelter will be posted on the map to facilitate players' recruitment. Do you confirm the release of this message?"
Ye Miao: Yes.
The author has something to say:
Notes:
① The skill "Shadowless Sword" has a 5.25x increase in attack speed, dodge, and critical hit probability. This skill is similar to the Shadow Fiend skill in the auto chess game "Dota Underlords".
