Chapter 219 The Dragon is Calling
"Have you heard that a portal to the dungeon has appeared in Val City!"
"Where? You're not wrong, are you?"
"That's right, it's Val City, absolutely true! The New Raiders Group, no, the Sky Raiders Group's Luluwo just shouted in the square with a loud speaker!"
“Is there any truth in shouting with a bullhorn?”
"Hey, you're trying to pick a fight with me, aren't you? Come on, they're playing a video, let's go take a look!"
In the tavern, the drunk adventurers came to the square in a huddle.
The square was crowded with people. A huge and conspicuous bulletin board stood tall in the center. In front of it, a bonfire that was deliberately imitated from the bonfire in the Thane dungeon was burning, and there was a fence around it.
Is this treating the bonfire as some kind of spiritual symbol?
The bulletin board here has expanded several times over the past few days, and is filled with dense information.
However, compared to the grand occasion when the bulletin board was updated every moment when Sean just mutated, the speed of information update has obviously slowed down a lot now, and it tends to be more detailed.
This shows that the big content has been discovered, and what remains are small details that need people to dig deeper.
To what extent are the details? For example, "the right hand of the Fran Undead Squad is more powerful than the left hand", "Gollum will fall into an unbalanced state after his hard horn is destroyed", etc.
It is worth noting that the notice board has specially divided one-third of the area on the left side and opened up a new section named -
【Monster Weapon Construction Formula】
The most striking formula is written as follows:
Fifteen Blue Bear fangs + two Blue Bear claws + three Blue Bear skull armors + a weapon of decent quality + burning incense and praying = Blue Bear series weapons!
Note from the intelligence provider: Increasing the amount of fangs and claws can improve the sharpness of the Blue Bear weapon, but too much investment may cause forging failure or cause strange negative effects on the weapon.
If you take a quick look at the information on this section, you can find that it is all about what weapons or equipment can be obtained by combining different XX (monster names) and XX (monster materials).
What are these things? Why are adventurers paying more attention to them than Endless Reincarnation (pigeon)?
This is what Gong Qiying mentioned before, the "equipment forging system" set up in the forest area.
Specifically, there are two hidden characters in the forest area, namely Weapon Master Felynx and Equipment Master Felynx. They live in different tree holes, and adventurers need to walk all over the map to find them.
After finding it, give the materials obtained from the monster to Felynx for forging, and wait for a few hours to get weapons and equipment!
Ever since the two cat masters were discovered, their popularity has skyrocketed visibly, and people have begun to explore the formula for forging equipment.
Because Felynx will accept all the monster materials given by adventurers and make them all into a weapon/equipment.
Therefore, the quantity, part, quality, etc. of the materials given by the adventurer will affect the quality of the forged weapons and equipment.
For example, if there are too many fangs, the sharpness will increase, but the durability will decrease. The carapace scales can increase the defense ability, but they will greatly increase the weight.
Some people may wonder, there are blacksmith shops outside that can forge objects based on monster materials, so why do we have to look for the uncertain Felyne?
Because the weapons and equipment they forge have many special combat skills that adventurers can't stop.
To be specific, recently a fighting skill called "Dragon Ascending" has been widely circulated among a small group of adventurers who have forged the unfamiliar weapon "Tachi". This weapon and fighting skill have some magical power that will make the holder unable to suppress the desire to ascend the dragon, and run to the forest area as soon as he opens his eyes every day.
In addition to Dragon Ascension, combat skills such as Super Release and Demon Transformation are gradually gaining popularity among adventurers. These are all obtained from the monster equipment forged by Felynx.
It is absolutely impossible for the blacksmith shops outside to forge this kind of fighting skills, and in terms of craftsmanship, Maomao is far better than the blacksmiths in Bed City.
Furthermore, there are limits on the monster materials that can be used for forging.
Every time after defeating a monster, one to five glowing parts will appear on its body. Only these glowing parts can be disassembled and sent to Felyne for forging.
As for those parts that don't glow, Felynx refuses to accept them, so adventurers can only take them out of the dungeon and sell them outside.
In order to get a monster weapon that is easy to use, a large number of adventurers who are interested in this spend every day in the forest area of the Senn dungeon brushing monster materials, and carefully exploring how to match them so that the forged weapons and equipment can achieve the best match. If they are not careful, they will forge useless garbage.
Unfortunately, after the monsters in the Sen Dungeon die, they will have to wait until the next day to reappear. Ordinary elite monsters like the Blue Bear Beast and the Great Thief Dragon will usually appear randomly in two or three, while high-level elite monsters such as the Female Rathalos and the Swift Dragon will only appear once a day, and the type is random.
However, as a policeman, Exploding Scale Dragon is always there and will never be absent!
No matter how you look at it, this equipment forging system is extremely time-consuming and will be heavily criticized if put into the game.
But adventurers have plenty of time and hope. During the period when the Felynx masters were just discovered, there were people willing to pay to buy even their failed works.
Because these weapons and equipment look very cool, they are enjoyable even if they are just hung on the wall.
Some of these exquisite failures have become increasingly popular in collecting circles.
Given the popularity of the equipment forging system, Gong Qiying is still considering whether to have an entire equipment upgrade mechanism, such as +1+2, one turn and two turns, and then a higher upgrade with a greater probability of failure, and the equipment will be destroyed after failure.
Forget it, if he does this, his whole family will be cursed, and he can't bear such a serious consequence.
"Hey, look, there's a new formula for the Umbrella Bird weapon. Do you want to memorize it?"
"You big head, aren't we here to see the Skyrim Raiders team? Have you forgotten your purpose so quickly?"
"Oh, now I remember, they were right under the bulletin board. They even put a white cloth on it to display the image."
The Skyrim Strategy Group is the new name of Luluwo and his "New Strategy Group".
There are many different opinions about why they changed their name. Some say it was because they lost to Leon, so they removed the word "New". Others say it was because there were too many people using the name of the New Strategy Group and there was no distinction.
In short, the name change of Luluwo and others is real. The name "Skyrim" is quite nice. It makes people think of the giant dragon flying high in the sky and the snow-capped plains, and it also makes people want to roar.
Wait, why does "Skyrim" remind people of snowfields?
"Everyone, look! This is the terrifying monster we found in Lake Lienia!"
Luluwo's voice covered the entire square through the magic of amplifying sound. In fact, she did not need to rely on this method to attract attention because everyone's attention was already on her.
"Because this monster was so terrifying, our investigator could only hide in the nearby bushes and tremble in fear. However, in the spirit of professionalism, even though his heart was filled with fear, he insisted on raising the photo stone and took such a precious photo for everyone to see and cherish."
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling"
Along with the eerie and ethereal sound of bells, the sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground reached everyone's ears, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart.
The image is taken from an upward perspective, with a large area obscured by messy plants, leaving only a small gap at the top. However, this way of presentation made everyone stare intently at the blank space, and some people even broke out in cold sweat.
Something emerged from the mist!
It was a skinny body, which seemed to be a horse. Its appearance could not be seen clearly due to the narrow field of vision, but people could clearly see that there was a pair of equally dry feet squatting on the horse's back.
There was someone squatting on the horse, full of evil aura.
"Tread, tap, tap"
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, as if to indicate that the crisis had dissipated, and just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ring, ring, ring!”
The sound of bells rang loudly, and the camera's perspective quickly turned to the source of the sound, but at the moment of turning, a hideous ghost's face bumped into it!
The image was interrupted and a series of exclamations were heard at the scene, as if one were actually there.
"It's a waste of talent for these guys to be adventurers. They're obviously more suitable as horror film directors, but a ghost rider was filmed to look like a boss," Gong Qiying, who was mixed in the crowd, took on the role of a complainer. "The adventurers are really supportive, right? How come a few of them fainted?"
Luluwo on the stage was very satisfied with the reaction of the audience. She held up the speaker with amplification magic and said loudly:
"Everyone, what I just showed you is only a small part of Lake Lienia, a small part of the horror. How about it? Did it scare you?"
"I scared you so much that you almost laid eggs!" shouted a bird-orc in dissatisfaction.
"Haha, getting used to fear in advance is very beneficial for adventure," Luluwo smiled. She had a rhythm that seemed to control the rhythm of the whole place. People's emotions and reactions were all within her expectations. "But don't stop because of fear. I don't want to talk to you about some vague things like courage. I only need one sentence to make you voluntarily explore this new area."
"What is it?" someone in the crowd asked cooperatively. Gong Qiying turned around and saw that it was Berto from the Sky Strategy Group.
Wow, there is a supporting actor.
"That is..." Luluwo threw her cloak and said loudly:
"There are huge rewards, and everyone can become a magician!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the image on the white cloth suddenly changed, and an adventurer with an unfamiliar face appeared in the center of the screen. Who is this?
"Isn't this Wansi, the 'Stubborn Stone' Wansi who couldn't learn magic no matter how hard she tried? Her talent seems to be even worse than that of the Sword Saint."
After Bertolt's shout, many people at the scene "remembered" a person named Wansi, and nodded, saying that they remembered such a person.
“It’s time to witness a miracle!”
Luluwo raised her arm, and saw Wansi in the image taking off the division instructor hat from her head. The next second, her other free hand was actually burning with flames!
It's fire magic, undoubtedly fire magic.
"It's amazing!" A new voice appeared in the crowd. It should be Ess and Em who were shouting.
“It’s amazing!”
When the crowd saw Wansi, who could never learn magic, successfully use fire magic, they were excited.
Even if someone is not interested in magic, if they can learn magic by entering a new area, everyone would be willing to give it a try! This is a good opportunity to improve their strength.
When people's emotions reached their peak, Luluwo showed a "Plan Got Through.jpg" smile, and finally revealed the real purpose of her performance in front of the public this time.
She waved her cloak, and suddenly a thick stack of booklets appeared on the stage. What were the contents of the booklets?
"My dear family members, you are blessed by the goddess of luck today. I have a brand new 'Basic Running Route of the Rhea Lukalia Magic Classroom' here. It teaches you how to obtain magic step by step. Don't miss this opportunity. It is limited to 300 copies. Don't miss it! If you miss it, you will become the chosen one of the goddess of bad luck!"
Looking at the adventurers flocking to Luluwo, and then looking at the Skyrim Raiders members below the stage with expressions of "finally completing the mission" on their faces.
Gong Qiying felt that these people were more like time travelers than himself, as they even came up with something like selling courses.
"You are really a bunch of little geniuses. Since you have worked so hard to help me attract a lot of traffic, I will arrange a good meal and wine to treat you when you go to the food area one day."
As he spoke, he began to laugh. The creativity of adventurers was truly endless, and Luluwo and his gang were especially good at making fun of things.
He also squeezed in to buy a booklet. The content on it was quite detailed, marking out how to obtain the [Transfer Certificate] and how to use the sub-mentor hat. It also marked the limitations of the use of magic obtained from the magic glow and the fact that one could go to Lake Lienia to practice magic permanently.
With the promotion of these people, the Vaal Dungeon is probably just one step away from becoming a hit.
Just as Gong Qiying was flipping through the booklet looking for omissions, a strong floral scent suddenly wafted from under his feet.
Looking again, I found that wild flowers were squeezing out from the gaps in the floor tiles, and they were still growing, and soon a green area appeared on the square.
"What's going on? Who is using growth magic here? It will be very troublesome to clean up!" the square's administrator yelled with curses.
"Look there, they did it!"
Someone pointed to a place not far away, and Gong Qiying looked in that direction.
I saw several figures with flowing green hair and pointed ears taking graceful steps towards the crowd.
It's an elf.
