Chapter 002: Desperate Orcs
As a reborn "experienced person", Qu Ming knew very well that this novice guide mission is actually a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that most players ignore!
Obviously, the experience gained from doing tasks is not as fast as teaming to kill monsters, and the novice guide task is very cumbersome. Based on this, most players choose to obtain weapons, armor, potions and other items through the novice guide task, temporarily give up the novice guide task, choose to kill monsters and upgrade, accumulate some coins, and then return to the novice village to buy blank rune scrolls and rune fragments, and combine to become the hero of the race.
Of course Qu Ming would not do this. It is very simple to get a series of items needed to combine heroes. Just continue to do the task!
Perhaps many players will feel regretful afterwards, and their original clever methods have become unnecessary.
The rune scrolls obtained by doing tasks have three holes, while the rune scrolls purchased through coins are all made of one hole. Of course, it does not mean that the three holes cannot be obtained through coins. This requires a secondary profession to synthesize, and it also costs a lot of money.
Based on the rules that the currency cannot be exchanged in the first three months of the game's opening, many local tyrants can only swallow their anger!
Since we talk about rune scrolls, we naturally need to summarize the differences in the number of holes.
A rune scroll with one hole can only be combined with one rune fragment, while a three hole scroll can naturally combine three rune fragments!
For the positioning of a combined hero, naturally, the more rune fragments, the higher the rune level, the stronger the hero's attributes will be.
A hero composed of a rune fragment is a first-level hero, and three rune fragments are combined, that is, a third-level hero. Level 1-3 heroes are collectively called primary heroes.
After the player reaches level 30 and completes three transfers, he can obtain a rune scroll with four to six holes through monster killing or synthesis of secondary professions, and invest four to six rune fragments to form an unknown hero.
Level 1-3 is a junior hero, level 4-6 is an intermediate hero, level 7-9 is a senior hero, and level 10 or above is the ultimate hero. Of course, there are more high-end heroes on it, which now seems to be too ambitious.
In "The Age of Big Tower Defense", the importance of heroes is unquestionable, and it is even much stronger than the player's own power!
What Qu Ming has to do at the moment is very simple, which is to complete the novice’s guidance task!
After digging the iron ore, Qu Ming immediately ran back to the blacksmith shop to deliver the task. He chose the wooden shield from three pieces of equipment: dagger, wooden shield and short bow.
【Wooden Shield】: White dress
Lasting: 15/15
Attribute: Defense +1, blocking successfully offsets damage by 20%
Special effects: 10% chance to offset 10 damage
Equipment Requirements: Physical Constituent 12
Note: Just use it as a lid of a big pot!
Although the attributes are very poor, they are better than nothing. Qu Ming is still happy!
We had all the weapons and clothes, and Qu Ming continued to continue the unfinished guidance task of the novice. He completed a series of tasks assigned by the pharmacy, grocery store, hunter's hut, etc., and obtained several red and blue potions, a scroll back to the city, a bone-cutting knife used to collect, and a skill book "Elementary Collection Technique".
Time is like flowing water, it is already eight o'clock in the evening. So far, the novice guide task has been completed 65%. In fact, the truly tedious task has just begun!
Everything Qu Ming did next seemed ridiculous, either helping Aunt Qiu give a bottle of water to her farmer in the fields, or helping Erniuzi find kittens who don’t know where to hide. After completing a series of collapsed tasks, there is no reward for them. Even the progress of the upgrade experience bar is not as fast as the progress of the task. No wonder many players have given up this scam mission!
But Qu Ming knew very well that since it was a task, there was no uselessness. Although it seemed cumbersome, it helped players quickly get familiar with the map of the novice village, and made people realize that in addition to the data composed of 0 and 1, the NPCs in the game also had their own emotions and ways of thinking, allowing players to learn to communicate with NPCs.
Perhaps a homeless man who looks inconspicuous can give you a valuable key to opening hidden tasks!
A few more hours have passed, Qu Ming's level has reached 2% of level 3 experience, and the progress of the novice guide has increased to 95%, which also means that the task is about to be completed!
For such a long time, even if Qu Ming went outside the city to hunt wild monsters, he probably had at least level 5 now! Before level 10, players were upgraded relatively quickly!
This is because Qu Ming, as a "experienced person", is very familiar with the novice tasks and has never taken the wrong way from beginning to end.
For example, if you help Master Qiu send a bottle of water to her husband, run for 20 minutes, and then return to receive the task rewards and advanced task guidance after delivering the water, then I’m sorry, Aunt Qiu will smile bitterly and say to you: Look at my memory, I’m older and have no brains. Young man, please go and get the wild vegetables back!
But if you asked her husband aquarius at that time: Is there anything you need to bring back? Congratulations, you saved at least 40 minutes one by one.
In short, ordinary players are exploring to complete the novice guide task by themselves, but it takes a lot of time!
Qu Ming has already accomplished the most critical task, and went to the rune store to find Boss Chen.
When I entered the rune store, I saw Boss Chen with a bitter look on his face. According to the convention, Qu Ming asked: "Boss Chen, is there anything that can help you?"
"Oh!" Before posting a mission, most of these NPCs with a bitter face would sigh: "My miserable daughter is suffering from a hidden disease, but if she wants to be cured, she needs the 'heart of the leader of the dog', and even if she gets the heart, there is only 50% chance of healing."
"Let me help you get the heart of the dog-headed leader!" Qu Ming seemed very active. After all, the cumbersome guidance tasks of the novice were paving the way for this moment.
Boss Chen's eyes lit up, and he took out a scroll and handed it to Qu Ming: "Young warrior, thank you for your enthusiasm. I will entrust my miserable daughter's hope to you! This is a blank rune scroll with three holes, hoping to help you deal with the leader of the dog-headed man. In addition, you can choose a level 1 rune essence and three level 1 rune fragments from me."
After Boss Chen stuffed the scroll into Qu Ming's hand, he led him to the counter and asked him to choose at will.
Level 1 rune essence and fragments are triangular, but the volume of the fragments is much smaller than the essence, which are all essential things for combination heroes.
Although rune essence and rune fragments are only level 1, you should know that before the player reaches the third turn, that is, level 30, he can only combine rune essence and fragments of Lv1-3. However, not to mention the rune store in the Novice Village, even the store in the system king city only sells level 1 runes, and the price is extremely expensive! If you want to obtain higher-level rune essence and fragments, you can only use synthesis methods, tasks, or kill wild monsters to explode.
Qu Ming first took away three level 1 rune fragments, and then his eyes swept around from the many level 1 rune essences. When he saw the rune essences, chased the wind, broken armor, sucked blood, brute force, etc., he finally chose the "Dead will" rune.
System: You have accepted the task "Love the Girl Like Life". Please obtain the "Heart of the Boar" within 72 hours (game time) to deliver the task, reward experience for completing the task, and some money; the task failure penalty will be punished for Boss Chen's daughter for seven days (game time).
Qu Ming just smiled at the seriousness of the punishment for the failure of the task.
After leaving the rune store, Qu Ming immediately opened the rune scroll and he was about to start combining heroes!
As a prophet race, you can use all rune fragments of all races such as orcs, ancient martial arts, mechas, etc., and you can combine all the thousands of heroes of the other races. This time you want to hunt the leader of the dog-headed man, and you must not be careless!
The level classifications of monsters in the game are from low to high: ordinary, elite, leader, demonization, and mutation.
Demonized and mutated creatures are very rare, that is, the leader monster is the boss!
Therefore, Qu Ming had to be cautious, and he must be cautious and taken seriously enough for the heroes who wanted to choose a combination for the first time!
After a while, Qu Ming finally made a decision. The hero race he chose to combine was the beast race!
He first activated three rune fragments, selected as two 'physical' runes, and one 'angry' rune.
Then the activated rune fragments were engraved on the blank rune scroll, and finally the rune essence "Dead will" was engraved on it. As the scroll light flashed, an orc with a green skin of 1.7 meters tall holding an axe appeared in front of him.
Qu Ming was a little excited and immediately checked the orc's attributes.
Rune fragments (physical strength Lv1)+ (physical strength Lv1)+ (angry Lv1)+level rune essence (dead will Lv1)=Dead orc
