Chapter 255: Alternative Balance
Lu Jiu explained to him, "What he meant is that killing monsters is not just for obtaining resources. Our health and attack points are increased by killing monsters. If he keeps doing this, what's the point of having a powerful weapon? If your personal attack point is low, what's the point of relying solely on the weapon's attack point?"
At most, it can only deal with low-level monsters. There will be higher-level monsters in the future. Even the magic sets in the backpacks of advanced players have not been unlocked and used, let alone higher-grade equipment.
Li Ruibo understood what was said. "That's true, but I don't use magic cube weapons when I kill wild monsters outside. I always feel that relying on high-grade weapons like this will have bad consequences."
Shen Jufeng finally stopped looking at the young man sideways and looked him straight in the face: "You are quite smart. If you try to kill wild monsters yourself and then use that weapon, you will find the difference."
Lu Jiu was also curious, "What's the difference?" She also used the Xuanling Divine Bow to deal with wild monsters at the beginning.
Shen Jufeng didn't hide it; speaking out was actually a good thing. "The system doesn't mean for players to rely on high-grade weapons. It even has its own balance. Maybe at first, people weren't sensitive to the amount of rewards for killing monsters. But then I experimented with killing monsters with a black and white chess game, and compared the rewards with my own weapons. The difference was more than double. Not only was the reward smaller, but the increased personal attributes were also lower. I was experimenting with Brown Iron-level monsters at the time. If it had been Bronze-level, I wonder if the difference would have been even greater."
Lu Jiu really didn't realize this. Ever since the forging shop customized her weapon, she hadn't used the Xuanling Divine Bow, except for that time when she dealt with Li Qiao.
"Fortunately, I listened to you and didn't rely on this weapon at all. Otherwise, wouldn't it be even weaker now? And it probably wouldn't have been discovered for a long time."
They usually kill wild monsters together and only share the materials, and never ask how much their personal attribute values have increased.
Li Ruibo was also confused. He hadn't thought of this at all. He rolled his Adam's apple with difficulty, "Thank you for reminding me. Actually, I wanted to do this at first. It would be so cool to use this weapon to instantly kill a group of monsters. But my uncle said that survival here is obviously dominated by cooperation. I think the right way is to deal with monsters with my own strength."
Jian Junhua patted his nephew's shoulder. "I noticed at the time that wild monsters, except for the boss, never appeared alone, and their levels kept increasing. I was worried that if this kid got used to killing monsters instantly and didn't accumulate combat experience, he would not be able to kill them instantly when encountering higher-level wild monsters. If something went wrong in the battle, he might lose his life."
When Lu Jiu heard this, she understood the meaning of the words, which was almost the same as what Shen Jufeng had said to her at the beginning.
It was after listening to his uncle's words that Li Ruibo gave up using the Magic Cube.
Shen Jufeng: "You have a good uncle." He thinks long-term and wants to prevent his nephew from taking the wrong path.
Lu Jiu: "That's right. At the beginning, wild monsters were so easy to deal with. Ordinary residents could kill them together. Now, they all have tens of thousands of health. When the beast tide besieged our city-state before, a silver mutant wild monster appeared with 88,000 health. Even using the Magic Music Cube was just a scratch."
The more I think about it, the more I feel that these epic weapons that can be used are just poisoned candies given by the system. If you are fooled by them, you will suffer a lot in the future.
Shen Jufeng: "The silver mutation is 88,000, I dare not imagine how much health the BOSS will have, not to mention that there will almost certainly be higher-level weapons later."
Lu Jiu looked at the grade of his equipment, and there must be wild monsters of higher levels.
Li Ruibo knew there would be one. "The Magic Cube is epic, so there will definitely be monsters of corresponding levels later. Currently, I know that the highest level monster is silver, so the next ones will probably be gold, epic, and legendary. As for whether there are higher levels, I'm really not sure."
He was lucky enough to synthesize a set of magic equipment, which was a legendary level equipment, but it is still unusable.
Lu Jiu touched her nose and said nothing. Seeing that she was silent, Shen Jufeng listened quietly to what Li Ruibo said.
Jian Junhua: "These are not problems now. We still have to solve the problems in Huajiang City first."
That being said, the other party has a teleportation crystal, which is really difficult to deal with.
Lu Jiu held his chin in his hand and said innocently, "Since he likes to ambush and snipe, you can also follow his example. He's not a good person anyway."
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and thought this was a good idea.
Li Ruibo: "But I don't know how much his health is right now. I'm worried that if I can't kill him in one blow, it will be even harder to deal with him once he escapes."
This is indeed a point worth worrying about.
Shen Jufeng crossed his legs and said, "You can also calculate it based on your own health value. Generally, if you are diligent in dealing with wild monsters, the difference in health value between everyone will not be that big, but it is hard to say for them."
Take him for example, his health has exceeded 10,000. According to their diligent situation, Shen Jufeng didn't think the health value of the city lord of Huajiang City would be very high. After all, killing players does not increase personal attribute values.
Li Ruibo scratched his hair and said, "Well, let's plan it out carefully when the time comes. It just so happens that many city lords have contacted me and want to discuss how to deal with the situation over there."
Although this incident made them angry, they could only take a long-term view.
·
Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng then became qualified tourist players. The residents in the city did not dare to go out. Even though something like that happened, the streets were still bustling.
As for whether Li Ruibo and the others had come up with a plan, the two of them did not ask.
After walking around the city for a long time, I had visited almost all the shops I could see, and since I couldn't go into the sea, I felt a little tired of Lujiu. Even the dried shrimp rice that I used to like very much, I couldn't eat two big bowls of it in one meal like I did at the beginning.
That day I sat on the city wall with Shen Jufeng, watching the sunset outside the city.
The orange light of dusk spread across the soft beach, making her want to take a walk there. It would be even better if she had a cell phone so that she could take photos as a souvenir.
"Well, what do you think? Should we just leave here? Should we really get involved in this matter, or should we just wait and see?"
This is what Lujiu is currently struggling with.
Shen Jufeng: "Trust the players here, don't worry about it for now. If you get tired of it, we can just leave. At worst, we can take the sea route."
Lu Jiu chuckled. "We can still take the sea route, but the entire Anshao Province knows that we two outsiders are staying in this city-state. That crazy city lord must also know about it. He might be very interested in players like us who have epic weapons."
From Li Ruibo's description, Lu Jiu felt that the other party was just an inferior player who specialized in looting epic weapons.
"But what I didn't expect was that he actually managed to snipe several well-equipped players who had the upper hand. I used to think that with such good equipment, I could protect myself even if others had designs on me, but sometimes people's behavior is really hard to predict."
