Chapter 82: Players Casting Spells for the First Time
In the eerie and terrifying blood hall, the creaking sounds of rubbing bones together sound like a symphony played in hell.
Hearing the call from the Demon King, the little devil Missy flew over from a distance, folded her wings, and crawled on the ground respectfully.
"Respected Demon King, what can I do for you?"
If Missy only had fear and respect for the Demon King before, now she was completely in awe of him.
The blood rituals of the Blood Temple no longer frightened her soul.
Because it's no longer necessary.
Like the first generation of adventurers in the small dark room, she no longer contributed faith points on a whim, but instead automatically presented tribute every day.
Simply put, her soul has been marked by the devil's mark.
Although Luo Yan had no recollection of having done any further PUA towards her, the entire process seemed to have been completed without his knowledge.
"I need Nightmare Land to help me keep an eye out for someone... This person is called Miranda, her strength is unknown, and she is an alchemist who knows necromancy."
"It's not just me who's looking for him. Humans are looking for him too. If you find him, remember to bring him to me alive... Remember, alive."
"I might be able to use the knowledge in his head."
As he spoke, Luo Yan gently waved his wand, and a wanted warrant floated out from his sleeve and landed on Missy's hands, which were respectfully raised above her head, like a rocking boat.
"As you command! The little devils of Nightmare Land are at your disposal!"
Luo Yan nodded.
"Just this matter, go down."
His maze is very large and it might take him a while to find it, but he is not in a hurry. As long as he finds him before humans, it will be fine.
In addition, he had asked Youyou to issue a task, asking players who had already reached the second level to keep an eye out for him.
Missy carefully put away the wanted poster, then rubbed her knees together shyly and looked up at the Demon King with a shy expression.
"Demon Lord... Is this matter urgent?"
"It's not urgent, what's the matter?"
Missy blushed and stammered, poking her index finger.
"Um...can Missy wait until after dinner before going back?"
Luo Yan thought she was going to say something, but he didn't expect it was just such a small matter. He couldn't help but laugh out loud and waved his hand and said.
"OK!"
"Thank you for your permission, Demon Lord! I will sacrifice my life to serve your evil plan—"
"No need to be polite, go wash your hands."
"yes!!!"
Missy clenched her fists excitedly, and after getting permission from the Demon King, she took off like a helicopter and whooshed towards the stairs.
Looking at the cheering figure, Luo Yan couldn't help but smile.
These little devils in the countryside seem to be no different from the little devils in the Magic City...
…
Dinner is still prepared by [Small Fish Cake Soup].
Thanks to the hardworking little player's busy schedule, the dinner at the Lord's Hall today was as sumptuous as a banquet! In place of Yousi, who did not show up, Ouke from the Magic City was also invited to the dinner table. However, seeing his tearful "prayer before the meal", Luo Yan began to regret letting him sit at the table.
Next time, let’s have someone bring him some food.
"Oak, why don't you go to the field and thank the donkey at the mill. It has also done a lot of work."
"Yes! Lord Demon."
Seeing Ou Ke leaving his seat and about to do this, Luo Yan immediately called out to him.
"Come back! Can't you hear that I'm joking? I mean to ask you to eat so you can eat and then work hard after eating!"
Oak's eyes were moist with emotion again.
"Yes!!! Lord Demon, you are such a...good devil!"
Luo Yan: “…”
Good devil? Missy, who was eating, took the time to look up and look around.
Is this a curse on the devil? Never mind...
Filling your stomach is important.
The little devil's brain capacity is not enough to think about too many things at the same time, so it is obviously more meaningful to eat right now.
After rewarding Bond and Octo with a large piece of raw meat with blood on it, Luo Yan shook the pre-dinner red wine while watching the guests feasting on the food.
Compared to the timid Oak, the sight of Arakdo and Missy concentrating on eating is quite appetizing.
The former is like the wind sweeping away all the clouds, while the latter is like Jerry blowing up a balloon.
Sarah was the most elegant person at the table.
Compared to the little wild cat who was chewing a big pig's trotter two weeks ago, her choice of food is evolving towards that of a domestic cat.
By the way, the church in Silverpine Town recently received a new batch of goods, which included local specialties such as wild boar meat and gin, as well as imported goods bought from the port of Thunder City.
For example, spices from the southern coast of the Whirlpool Sea, and soybeans from the colonies.
Thanks to Sheriff Adlai, Luo Yan was able to taste crucian carp and tofu soup after a long time, and the taste was simply amazing.
What Luo Yan didn’t expect was that this little genius actually made tofu!
“This stuff is good.”
Wiping his mouth with a napkin, Luo Yan spoke with praise.
Hearing the praise from the Demon King, Xiao Yu Cake Juice couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth in reality and said with joy.
"If you like it, Master Demon, I'll do more next time!"
Luo Yan smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I like it very much. Please make more. I will also send some to my...vassals and servants so that they can open their eyes!"
It's not just Madame Sissi.
And there's Father Matt and Adlai.
In his impression, the process of making tofu should not be too difficult, and it might be able to open up a new source of income for the cemetery.
Hearing that the delicious food he made had a chance to become popular on the tables of NPCs, Xiao Yugaojuice's eyes burned with even more enthusiasm.
"Please leave it to me!"
Looking at the task pop-up window flashing in front of her eyes, she was like an industrious little bee, and rushed to the kitchen without resting for a moment.
Looking at the figure disappearing at the door, Luo Yan complained to the air beside him.
"... Youyou, you don't have to be so anxious to send people tasks. At least wait until dinner is over."
The sound of Youyou soon reached my ears.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"But Lord Demon, players are very anxious when they are waiting for missions. Youyou think that since we have decided to release the missions, it would be better to send them to them as soon as possible?"
"Well, that's true."
Recalling his previous experience of playing games, Luo Yan felt that what Youyou said seemed to make some sense.
If the NPC is too slow, the players will become impatient.
Besides, he is the devil.
Why is the devil being polite?
As expected, my cultivation is still too shallow. I need to be more confident next time...
…
The Demon King's dinner is still going on, and the little players who don't need to eat are walking in the maze to level up, such as the King of the First Volume and the King of the Second Volume in the whole server.
When the devil asked himself whether he needed to be reincarnated, Yiye Zhiqiu had one thing he did not tell that adult.
That was the reason why he chose the skeleton. In addition to being used to it, there was another main reason - that was that the skeleton did not need to rest or eat! It was unknown what provided this guy with power, perhaps the endless breath of death in the maze, perhaps it came from the cemetery or the devil himself.
In short, this guy is simply a "perpetual motion machine" for players! As long as your real body can bear it, you can continue to level up in the game! On the contrary, humanoid zombies, lizard zombies, and crypt spiders all need to sleep and eat, but the former two sleep for a shorter time.
If you don't sleep for a long time, the player will get the fatigue debuff, and the mental power will continue to decline until it reaches zero and you faint. If you don't eat for a long time, the player will get the weakness debuff, and the HP will continue to decline until it reaches zero and you enter a near-death state.
These are issues that other players have reported on the forums.
In comparison, the skeleton soldiers, who have low resurrection costs, do not need to eat and are tireless, appear to be quite cost-effective.
Even if the initial attributes are a little low, it is not a problem. The advantages brought by the initial attributes will become more limited in the later stages.
Especially after growing to the bronze stage, the attribute points of each upgrade became 2, and Yi Ye Zhi Qiu became more certain of his guess! The cave on the second floor of the maze.
Looking at the burnt poisonous scorpion that was half a person's height in front of him, Yi Ye Zhiqiu raised his left hand with an expression of surprise on his face.
"It's done!"
Two and a half weeks!
During this time, he had been following Luo Yan's method, trying to imagine the shape of the flame in his mind, and using his spirit and will to give it the power of flying.
During this period, he failed countless times, and even suspected that there was a bug in the game, or that the spellcasting function was not implemented in the player's skill system at all...
Fortunately, hard work pays off!
After experiencing failure again and again, he never gave up and finally made a breakthrough in this attempt!
It was like the first time he figured out how to whistle.
Before he learned it, no matter how hard he tried to blow, it just wouldn't make any sound. But once he learned it, everything was as easy as breathing! Recalling the feeling before, Yi Ye Zhi Qiu silently chanted the spell in his heart, raised his left hand and released the fireball again.
The scorching fireball shot towards the distant wall like a cannonball, and exploded into brilliant sparks as it hit the rock! "I see... I think I know how the spells in this game work!"
Looking at Yi Ye Zhi Qiu who was ecstatic, Hu Wan was also sincerely happy for him. He threw the musket on his back and teased with a smile.
"It seems like we can try challenging the giant centipede next time!"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu said with a smile.
"That might be a little difficult. But there's no harm in giving it a try."
He now feels very strong! He even has the confidence to challenge the devil! Of course, he is just thinking about it. A poor kid tried it before, and the screen went black when he moved his finger.
Hu Wan opened the player system and took a look, then spoke.
"By the way, my contribution points have finally reached 10,000."
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "How about going back first?"
Hu Wan smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, let's get enough experience first. I'm still a little short... I just have that little bit left, so I'll have to hurry back later."
"That's fine, if you think it's okay." Having said this, Yiye Zhiqiu paused for a moment and continued, "By the way, there is something I want to ask for your opinion on."
Looking at Yi Ye Zhi Qiu's serious face, Hu Wan also adjusted his expression to be serious.
"What's the matter? No, I don't need a loan. I'm very poor."
"It's not about borrowing money. How could I borrow this from my friends in the game?" Yiye Zhiqiu looked at this guy with a smile and continued, "It's like this. My physical fitness has been trained to a certain level. 11 points are enough. As for the future, I will focus on leveling up spellcasting... But this will make us lack the front row, so I plan to add one or two main tanks."
After listening to him go around in circles for a long time, he didn't expect that this was the final word. Hu Wan was speechless for a moment.
"What the hell? Just such a small matter made me wonder what you were going to say. You are the captain, so why don't you make the decision yourself?"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu shook his head and said seriously.
"We are teammates, so of course I have to ask for your opinion."
Hu Wan sighed helplessly.
"You are still so polite."
