◎The first time I met Mantis shrimp◎
Recently, more and more players have been teleported to Morgan Hall by the NPC Ere. Players are discussing privately that except for a very small number of people who chose the alchemist profession out of curiosity or ignorance, the vast majority of the rest are attracted by Xia Li's fame.
Apart from anything else, the fact that she had won two dungeon first kills in a row had indeed given a lot of confidence to newcomers who were facing career choices.
I remember when the official introductions to the seven major professions, including the Alchemist, were released, some quick-witted netizens immediately opened seven threads on the forum, analyzing each of the seven professions separately, explaining the pros and cons of each profession to novice players, so as to facilitate their future career choices.
For professions with very distinct characteristics like Mage, Priest, and Archer, some newbies can understand most of them without reading the posts, but for professions like Warrior and Paladin, many players can't tell them apart.
At this time, posts written by veteran online game players themselves come in handy.
Generally speaking, warriors and paladins are both meat shield (also called tank) professions, which means they are responsible for pulling monsters and resisting health in the team. This can be seen from the shared skill of warriors and paladins - taunt.
However, the two have their own clear division of labor. For example, the warrior is more suitable for pulling physical damage monsters and single monsters, and the charge skill it possesses can only target a single target. The paladin is the opposite. It is suitable for pulling spell damage monsters and group monsters. The collision skill it possesses can lock onto a main target while causing spell damage to other targets within 3 meters.
Like before in the Doha Restaurant, Long Yan's two Paladins, the Berserker and the Swordsman, had used the collision skill on Xia Li, but at that time since she was the only main target, the collision skill only locked onto her.
In addition, the Paladin can also occasionally serve as a Priest. When the Priest in the team is unable to spare time, the Paladin's two skills that can restore mana and health respectively can also come in handy. It all depends on whether the Paladin in the team at that time has learned these two skills.
So in fact, the warrior is more suitable to be the main MT in the team, and the paladin is more suitable to be the sub-T and auxiliary.
Of course, this is just a theoretical division of labor. During actual dungeons, the team leader will also make appropriate divisions based on the team members' abilities. Besides dungeons, players don't really differentiate between Warriors and Paladins when they're grinding monsters or completing quests.
After gaining a basic understanding of different professions, players chose their favorite professions after reaching level 10. Whether it is a mage, a warrior, or a priest, the number of players of each major profession is increasing day by day, and the doors of each major professional instructor are becoming more and more prosperous.
Except for Morgan Hall.
Deserted, desolate, bleak, these words have been with Xia Li since she became His Highness Morgan's disciple.
As the post says, the Alchemist's initial health is average, the initial defense is low, the initial agility is even lower, and even the initial output is only slightly above the average level. No matter from which aspect you look at it, it is a weird thing, and calling it just for show is an exaggeration.
Well, even if it is just a supporting role, it doesn’t matter, because not everyone likes to grab the first kill and win the ranking. Some players are just lazy and just want to lie in the game every day, savoring the rich life and enjoying the quiet years.
Therefore, although they are not good in all aspects, the position of alchemist who can make alchemy has become the best choice for these people. As long as they have money, everything can be discussed.
There are many players who join the alchemist army with this idea in mind, and of course there are even more who regret it after joining.
Because it was not until this group of insignificant players bravely stepped into the Morgan Hall that they understood what it meant to sing better than speak.
What alchemy? What traps falling from the sky? They're all traps!
They originally chose the Alchemist for the skill "Equivalent Alchemy", but later discovered from a very inconspicuous corner of the official forum that this skill would not be released until the middle of the career!
When is the most difficult stage for a character to start? The answer is of course the early stage after the budding stage at level 10.
Lack of equipment, potions, props, and money.
As a result, the position of alchemist, which is expected to make a lot of money, has to wait until the middle stage before starting alchemy. Who would be willing to waste time like this?
Therefore, before, there were players who chose Alchemist from time to time with the mentality of giving it a try. Later, after everyone gradually realized the cruel reality, they no longer chose this profession, and Morgan Hall naturally returned to being deserted.
How deserted is it?
There was no need to look at the alchemist profession list specifically. Xia Li could recite the names of more than 20 people in the same profession as her from beginning to end with her eyes closed.
However, among these twenty-something people, more than ten of their IDs hadn't been online for a long time, and Xia Li estimated that these few would probably not be online again.
It was in this tone that Xia Li discovered early in the morning that there was something in Morgan's shabby little house that was even noisier than the steamed fish!
This is just a small, shabby house, and there have been no new players reporting in for a long time. For this reason, Morgan gave her the keys to the iron door before leaving. He meant that she was the only living person here, and since he was going on a long journey, the hall (although it was just a small, shabby house) would naturally be hers to take care of temporarily.
It’s hard to say that she takes good care of it. After all, she is the only one who goes in and out of this shabby place. The floor is very clean and she doesn’t need to clean it at all.
But, what the hell is today?
Why are there so many players crowding outside the small shabby house?
Xia Li closed the dialog box with Baili Xi, got out of bed, took out the key from the coat hanging on the hanger, and walked out in a few big strides.
"Pear God! Is that you, Pear God?"
After seeing her figure, there was suddenly a louder commotion outside the iron gate.
"Wow, it's really her! She really is like what she said in the post, sleeping in Morgan Hall at night!"
Someone held onto the iron gatepost with both hands, looking at her with joy and excitement.
"Look, I told you to squat here!"
"Brother Pi is so wise! We, the younger brothers, are ashamed of ourselves and admit defeat!"
The man everyone called Brother Pi stood in the front row, hands on hips, looking very proud: "Alright, I brought you here today not to worship me, but to kowtow to the Great Pear Blossom God in front of us!"
"Yes! Brother Pi is right!"
"What did I teach you before? You have to show off your power and might! You must not embarrass us!"
"Yes! Brother Pi taught you well!"
"Brothers, shout slogans!"
As soon as Brother Pi gave the order, the slogans suddenly rang out like a loud bell!
"Pear God is my father, Pear God is my mother, and Pear God is the best at everything he does!"
"Not loud enough, do it again!" Brother Pi shouted.
The deafening roars in unison hurt Xia Li's eardrums. She looked at the pairs of fists waving passionately and the heads swaying back and forth one after another.
If it weren't for the text in the upper left corner reminding her that she was indeed in Morgan Hall, Xia Li almost thought she had fallen asleep on the street in the tavern market last night.
"What are you doing?" Xia Li approached the iron gate and glanced at everyone coldly.
"Pear God! We are all your fans! We will always cheer for you!"
Are you a brain-dead fan?
Xia Li looked at those pairs of eyes that were filled with eagerness and expectation, and admiration. She said nothing on the surface, but in her heart she was rolling her eyes to the sky.
She knew she wasn't exactly low-key among the Miracles. Mentioning her name would often lead people to think, "Oh, the female alchemist who offended the Blazing Fury?" Her mechanics were decent, with two first kills to her credit, but everything else was just okay, right?
That's all.
In addition, with her current position on the personal strength list, there are six people ahead of her who are stronger than her. If we really talk about her popularity in Miracles, it is far from enough to attract a large group of followers.
"Go away, you're blocking my way."
She and Baili Xi had made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the guild warehouse in ten minutes, and she didn't want to be stopped here and waste time by this group of inexplicable people.
"Brothers, did you hear that? Give way to the Pear God!"
Brother Pi suddenly started to move, and immediately, the originally noisy and disorderly crowd moved apart like scattered soldiers following orders, straightening their bodies and taking a step forward, leaving her a clean and extremely wide path.
"Pear! God! Please!"
There were two rows of people bowing at 90 degrees on the left and right, and their postures were so neat and standard that Xia Li couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
"Pear God, from now on we will be your minions at your command! If you want to contact us, please open the career channel. As long as you give the order, we will be there at your command, even if we are far away!"
The person who spoke was Brother Pi. Xia Li narrowed her eyes and this time finally saw his ID clearly from the crowd - Pipixia.
I didn't expect that after being reborn, I would get to know Pipi Shrimp in this way. He was the most troublesome person for most players in the miracle of the previous life, and the guild organized and led by him made everyone stay away from him.
Of course, the reason to avoid them is not because they are too strong, but because they are too shameless!
As a person with very weak overall strength, so weak that one has to scroll to the bottom of the guild list to see his name, Pipixia accurately and effectively implements the principle of "the lowest man is invincible" from top to bottom.
Everyone in the guild, regardless of gender or age, will lose all their life mottos and values once they hear his words!
However, this person who was criticized by the player community was doing very well and was very proud of himself among the NPCs in his previous life.
Why does Xia Li know so much?
Because the first time she had contact with Pipixia in her previous life was to buy a very important NPC information from him.
Unfortunately, before she could negotiate the bargaining chips, she exposed her whereabouts, which was then discovered by Feixue, and finally attracted Long Yan and his group, who killed her in the miracle.
As the most favored NPC in all Miracles, there is a reason why Mantis Shrimp can walk sideways.
But what Xia Li didn't expect was that when she reborn in the game in this life, the other party had actually become her crazy fan? And he even brought with him a group of seemingly obedient and useful crazy tools?
Although Xia Li didn't know what impressed him so much, considering that he had no bad intentions, Xia Li immediately changed her indifference to a normal indifference and accepted his enthusiasm quite naturally.
Suddenly, there were more than 30 more people on the alchemist rankings, and these 30 people all belonged to a guild called Xia Bing Xie Jiang. This change naturally attracted the attention of many players, but soon everyone noticed that the strength of the guild this group of people belonged to was very low, and it was currently ranked last in the entire server, so everyone's hearts were instantly relieved.
The world channel returned to peace.
However, suddenly, a highlighted message popped up.
[World: Blacksmith Bruce is dead]
Like a torpedo thrown into a pond, the news exploded across the world's channels!
All the players who read the news were stunned. Bruce was the most skilled equipment repairman in the entire royal city! How could such an important NPC die?!
