Chapter 3
Ye Bai stood in a cave. There was a dead end behind him and only a road in front of him leading to the depths of the cave. There were some fluorescent minerals scattered on the stone walls, illuminating the dark environment.
Looking at this scene that couldn't be more familiar, she felt relieved.
Compared with the millions of StarCraft players, Ye Bai's only advantage now is his understanding of the game.
As a necessary dungeon related to important elements of the game, the structure of this dungeon is not complicated. You just need to kill your way through the caves to the BOSS. However, this does not mean that the difficulty is not high, because the strength of the monsters in the dungeon is generated according to the player's level, especially the BOSS in the dungeon. Even at the same level, the health and damage are beyond the reach of players.
At the same time, the monsters in normal-level dungeons are the same level as the players, the difficulty level starts at 5 levels higher, the elite level is 10 levels higher, and the nightmare level is a full 20 levels higher!
Ye Bai entered the dungeon directly at level 0. Not only was she pressed for time, but also because the boss corresponding to the nightmare difficulty was exactly level 20. Monsters above level 20 will undergo another transformation in strength, just like players who have changed their jobs. That is the real 'nightmare' for players who have not changed their jobs.
“Ding, ding, ding…”
Ye Bai did not rush into the cave immediately. Instead, he took his wooden sword and knocked on the surrounding stone walls to mine the glowing ore.
One of the core features of "Wanjie" is that the "entire scene is destructible". Not to mention mining ore, if the player has enough physical strength, digging through the stone wall of the cave is no problem - but all dungeons are set as "alternative dimensions" independent of the big world. If you dig to the edge of the dungeon, you will face time and space turbulence. Players below level 100 will die if they are touched. Monsters killed in this way will not give experience or drops.
Ye Bai could chop down trees with a wooden sword before, and now he can also mine. However, compared to specialized tools, using weapons will double the durability and affect the quality of the output.
In order to prevent players from being embarrassed by having to give up the dungeon due to the durability of their weapons running out, the dungeon is a "different dimension" and, except for consumable items, neither weapons nor tools in the dungeon will consume durability. This is one of the rules that Ye Bai will use to pass the dungeon.
Of course, for balance reasons, the items that can be collected in the dungeon are often not precious resources.
"Bang!"
Along with the sound, a piece of fluorescent ore fell, and Ye Bai picked it up and put it into his backpack.
【Glowstone Fragments】
Attribute: Ore fragment
Grade: Poor
Resources collected by force through weapon attacks will always be in a damaged state, and their quality will automatically drop one level from the original level until it can no longer be reduced, which is the current crude level.
If you use a pickaxe, you can not only get complete ore, but also mine higher quality ore.
But for Ye Bai now, it is enough.
Ye Bai knocked down all the fluorite around her, and the environment became dark. She then began to move forward, not missing any fluorite she encountered along the way.
As we go deeper, the amount of fluorite gradually decreases. After turning a corner, the corridor becomes wider. With the light of the last piece of fluorite, we can see that there is a dark and wide cave in front. There is no fluorite distributed inside, and the environment cannot be seen clearly, which conveys a dangerous atmosphere.
Ye Bai did not mine the only piece of fluorite nearby, but slowed down her pace and approached the wide cave inch by inch. When she took the fourth step, two red spots lit up in the darkness.
As if a switch was turned on, pairs of red dots lit up one after another. Eight pairs of red eyes stared at Ye Bai silently without blinking.
That’s right, there are eight [Cave Bats] in total.
Ye Bai took a step back, and the eight red eyes inside disappeared one by one like extinguished candles.
The distance of six meters is the warning range of the cave bats. As a nightmare-level copy, with a level difference of 20, the "ordinary monsters" in these copies can cause 50 damage to Ye Bai who has no armor in one attack, and they also have group hatred. As long as one bat is attracted, the other seven will attack together.
Just now, if he took another step forward, Ye Bai, who only had 100 health points, would be killed by two bites.
However, no copy is unsolvable. If it is really unsolvable, it would be the failure of the producer. Ye Bai, the producer, certainly has the "official" best strategy in mind.
Ye Bai opened his backpack and found that he had collected 13 fluorite fragments.
[Do you want to spend 4 'Fluorite Fragments' to synthesize? ]
【yes】
The synthesis of this basic ore can be done directly in the backpack, consuming a little stamina at a time. Soon, Ye Bai's backpack was filled with 3 complete fluorites and 1 fluorite fragment.
【fluorite】
Attribute: Luminous ore raw material
Grade: Poor
Ye Bai retracted his shield, holding the wooden sword in his right hand, and approached the wide cave again... seven meters, six meters, the pairs of red eyes in the cave lit up again.
The more critical the moment, the calmer Ye Bai's mind will always be.
Take the last step.
“Clatter…”
In an instant, the sound of fluttering wings was heard, red dots surged, and the eight level 20 bats in the cave swarmed over.
1, 2... Ye Bai counted the flying speed of the bats in his mind and swung a sword towards the darkness at the perfect moment.
'-5'
The first cave bat that rushed forward was hit by Ye Bai's sword. Its momentum stopped and it froze for a short time. However, this damage was just a drop in the bucket for its current health of 200. It would take 40 attacks to kill it. At the same time, the bats that were not attacked by Ye Bai also rushed up.
The next moment, Ye Bai had an idea, and a complete, glowing fluorite appeared in his empty left hand.
In reality, you need to take actions to take things out of your bag, but the backpack in the game is like the space ring in novels, which can be taken out and put back in instantly.
Complete fluorite is brighter than the unmined fluorite on the stone wall. When it appears, it is like a small light bulb, illuminating the surrounding area.
"squeak--!"
The group of bats let out sharp cries, and the bats at the back that had not yet had time to attack Ye Bai flapped their wings and retreated. Only the bat that had been attacked earlier was a beat slower.
Cave bats have the characteristic of [photophobia], which is the top priority of all their actions. This characteristic can be easily discovered by careful players, as can be seen from the fact that the bat colony only lives in areas without fluorite illumination.
Ordinary players can take advantage of this and throw out fluorite to light the way ahead, which can scare away all the cave bats, but Ye Bai will naturally not "skip class" like this, because the experience contributed by a level 20 monster is not cheap.
Just when the first bat was a beat slower, she swung out another sword.
'-5'
At the same time, she put the fluorite in her left hand into her backpack. The light disappeared instantly and it became dark again.
“Clatter…”
The bat that was hit immediately flapped its wings and showed its fangs towards Ye Bai who had just hit it twice. The bats that were scared away a moment ago also found that their companions were attacked and turned around.
Then, Ye Bai took out the fluorite that had been put back into the backpack again.
"squeak--!"
Chop and recover the glowstone
'-5'
Chop and take out the fluorite
'-5'
Chop...
The space flickered between bright and dark, accompanied by the screams of pain from the bat that was hit head-on and the flapping of wings of other bats behind it, forming a very regular rhythm.
After this series of operations, all the bats failed to touch Ye Bai, but they were constantly hit by her with '-5' damage.
Aside from the somewhat annoying lighting effects, the rhythmic quality is even elegant.
If bats had a mind, it would probably be:
——Dare to hit me/my brother? I’ll bite you to death!
—Ah! There is light!
——Dare to hit me/my brother? I’ll bite you to death!
—Ah! There is light!
That is to say, bats at level 20 can still be bullied like this. After level 20, cave bats will become vampire bats. Not only will photophobia no longer be the top priority of their actions, but their attacks will also have a blood-sucking effect.
But now, they are still simple monsters with higher health and attack.
With the fall of the last bat, this painful battle... or rather 'torture', finally came to an end.
Next, of course, is the exciting part of collecting the spoils.
Killing monsters above your level will gain a hidden bonus to the explosion rate. If Ye Bai kills monsters 20 levels higher, the drop rate of items with an original explosion rate of less than 10% can be increased fourfold!
Obtain [Minced Meat] x4
Get [Bat Wing] x3
Get [Bat Tooth] X1
Obtain [Unidentified Blueprint] X1
Seeing the last item, Ye Bai's eyes lit up. The drop rate of blueprints was not high, and practical blueprints were a must-have for lord players. As a producer, she certainly knew what this blueprint was without having to identify it.
There is only one kind of blueprint that cave bats will drop, the default drop rate is 1% [Night Clothes Blueprint]!
Even though Ye Bai now has a four-fold explosion rate bonus, a 4% chance of hitting it is still a sign of good luck.
The Night Walker is a second-level product of the "Tailor Shop" building, and it is a particularly rare type of second-level product. It can be sold to players or NPCs without any worries. The most important thing is that the materials used to make it are not rare. The most difficult material to obtain is the bat wing that just dropped.
The drop rate of bat wings is 40%. Before Ye Bai defeats the BOSS, she will encounter three waves of cave-dwelling bats, which can provide another wave of materials. This is basically the early economic pillar of her territory.
In addition, bat teeth are also a very good material. You can use them to strengthen weapons in the "Blacksmith Shop" to give them the additional effect of "bloodsucking". The normal drop rate is only 5%, which increases to 20% when you surpass your level. It is worth it to get it.
As for minced meat, it is food that easily falls and is easy to obtain. In Ye Bai's eyes, it is useless food that can be thrown away if the backpack is not full.
Of course, in addition to all the drops, Ye Bai also gained enough experience to reach level 4 in one go.
Sure enough, killing monsters above their level is the ultimate romance for players!
Picking up a piece of fluorite for lighting, Ye Bai continued walking deeper into the cave. She was already looking forward to the drops after killing the boss...
