Yesterday’s second update: Chapter 301. I coded it in the early morning. I didn’t revise it if I couldn’t hold on. I revised it after getting up and uploaded it!
…
"As for the fourth one, she is not a bastard from the Kun clan, but a saint from the nine-tailed demon fox clan!"
"Daji?"
Xu Kun thought of the SSS-level talent of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan who was ranked fifth under him and the Three Saint Clan's geniuses on the Novice Trial Ranking!
"That's right, and she..." Qian Manlou hesitated.
"What's up with her?"
Qian Manlou hesitated for a moment, then finally smiled and said: "It's pointless to say it. Anyway, the main city you chose is the City of Yanhuang. Daji, the nine-tailed demon fox tribe, is also inextricably linked to the City of Yanhuang. , you will naturally know when the time comes!”
Xu Kun rolled his eyes: "You're so nagging!"
He didn't ask further. Since Qian Manlou said that he could find out in Yanhuang City, he didn't bother to ask!
Without worrying too much about this issue, Xu Kun said seriously: "Brother Qian, Yaoyao was killed by Taoist Lu Ya and burned to death with the Golden Crow True Fire. How did she survive?"
Xu Kun was still frightened when he thought of Yang Yao dying in front of him.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that all of this was done intentionally by his Uncle Yang!
But what made him confused and even more resentful was that no father would use his own daughter as bait!
Hearing this question, Qian Manlou said with a smile: "You don't hate my boss, do you?"
Speaking of this, Xu Kun became a little angry and said: "Tiger poison can't even eat its seeds. Uncle Yang has no bottom line for doing this!"
"I knew you would think so!" Qian Manlou shook his head and said, "But you really can't blame my boss for this matter!"
"What do you mean?" Xu Kun asked confused.
"I guess only the boss and Yaoyao, who died once, know the details, but I heard the boss say something back then!"
"Yao Yao has her own path that she must take. As a father, he doesn't want her to embark on this path, but as the leader of the human race, he must let his daughter embark on this path. !”
Xu Kun's brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan" and he couldn't understand these words at all!
Qian Manlou looked at the time and said: "You have to ask Yaoyao in person about the specific situation. Yaoyao has been in the tower for three hours, and I don't know if she can pass this time. Are you waiting here? ,still……"
"I'm going to the tenth floor!"
Xu Kun couldn't wait any longer. Before the tenth floor, the competition was on the speed of clearance. In this aspect, he was far ahead of the geniuses of all races!
After the tenth level, the competition is to kill monsters and level up. Time is money. He was in a coma for seven days, which was a waste of these seven days. The other three people are probably more than him!
Entering the tenth floor, he still has too many things to do!
And he didn't do too much research on the tenth level and above, and what he knew was only superficial!
"Okay, take this bag!"
Qian Manlou did not stop him, but waved his sleeve and threw out a cloth bag.
"What's this?"
"Little energy pill!"
Xu Kun opened the cloth bag and saw that it was filled with small pills.
【Little Energy Pill】
Grade: C grade
Efficacy: After taking it, the energy value will be replenished by 50 points.
Usage level: Level 10, Level 0-Level 19, Level 9
Using CD: 24 hours
"uh-huh?"
The effect of this C-level elixir made Xu Kun's eyes light up, which meant that the time he could only stay in Haotian Tower for ten hours before was directly extended by half!
"This is the standard elixir for warriors of all races. Tens of thousands of elixirs are sold outside. Here are a hundred. You can use them first. If you don't have enough, you can ask for it from me!"
"Okay, thank you, Brother Qian!" Xu Kun was not pretentious, this kind of practical thing was very useful to him.
Seeing that Xu Kun was about to leave, Qian Manlou spoke again: "This time, based on your contribution to the human race, the reward has been determined!"
"Huh? What is it?"
Xu Kun is quite curious, but at present, there are not many things he can use at this stage!
The rewards issued by the race are usually equipment, skills, elixirs, etc., and even human race permissions!
Qian Manlou said bluntly: "Human SS level authority!"
Xu Kun paused and was a little dumbfounded: "You shouldn't..."
This is the best in the imperial realm, the standard human authority of the saint level!
Having this kind of authority is equivalent to standing at the top of the Blue Star Human Race Pyramid. Every word and deed can represent the entire human race!
Qian Manlou smiled and said: "I really can't think of any reward for you, so this time the boss directly approved SS-level permission for you, and no one objected. However, this permission requires you to enter Wanwan for the first time. It can only be used after entering the clan battlefield!”
That's not bad, my current level has already met the level of tens of thousands of races on the battlefield!
But next, he still has to report to the academy. The next war of all races will start in three months. By then, he will have unprecedented SS-level human race permissions!
You know, his Uncle Yang was also granted this authority after joining the Ancestral Court of the Jiao Clan Dragon Palace!
"Thank you Uncle Yang for me, Brother Qian, I'll come back to you later!"
Xu Kun is in a hurry now, because the world above the tenth level is very attractive to him, and he can't wait!
"Okay, you go first!"
With a flash of light, Xu Kun was already standing in the ancient city!
But this time, there are no longer only soldiers wearing standard armor like Yue Yun in Yanhuang City, but there are more scattered people!
Well~ No surprise, these are the people in the human race who are not very talented, step on the passing line all the way, and complete the first ten levels of trials first!
Most of the people in the friend list were busy and most likely already undergoing the Awakening Secret Realm trial. Xu Kun did not bother them!
And when you arrive in this Yanhuang City, you naturally have to find local people to lead the way!
Yue Yun is the best candidate!
As a person who has reached level 9 of the 19th level and is one step away from entering the 20th level, Yue Yun doesn't have much to do above the 10th level!
"Are you busy? Brother Yue!"
Yue Yun quickly replied and made a video call directly.
"Kunshen, you're okay!"
Xu Kun still remembered that the last voice he heard before he fell into coma was that of Yue Yun. It seems that Jiangnan Base City is blooming in many directions, and Yue Yun is also involved!
"Don't be a Kunshen. I'm embarrassed for what you did. Brother Yue, I'm in the City of Yanhuang now. Are you busy?"
"If you're not busy, just stay there and don't move around. I'll be here right away!"
After saying that, he hung up the video call in a hurry. Without letting Xu Kun wait for long, Yue Yun rushed over in three steps and two steps.
When he looked at Xu Kun, his admiration was even greater than before.
"I saw the heroic appearance of God Kun that day. He is really a role model for our generation of trialists!"
Xu Kun touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "Brother Yue, I don't have many strategies for those above the tenth floor. Can you introduce it to me?"
"Convenient, of course it's convenient!"
"You come with me!"
With that said, Yue Yun led Xu Kun towards a teahouse.
Along the way, the people patrolling Yanhuang City respected Yue Yun very much.
On the other hand, after arriving at the teahouse, in the antique building, the waiter said very coldly: "What do you want to drink?"
"A pot of B-grade muscle-building tea!"
After saying that, Yue Yun consciously took out a B-grade spiritual stone and placed it on the table. After the waiter took it away, he quickly served the two of them a pot of green tea.
"Kunshen, please try it. This muscle-building tea is the best tea in Yanhuang City. After drinking it, you can increase your strength by 30 points in six hours!"
A B-level spiritual stone and a pot of tea, the price of this tea is definitely sky-high!
It also reflects Yue Yun's respect for Xu Kun.
After Xu Kun thanked him politely, he stared at the waiter while holding tea, with a trace of confusion between his brows.
Yue Yun seemed to notice Xu Kun's doubts and said, "Did God Kun see something was wrong with this waiter?"
Xu Kun nodded and said quickly: "Brother Yue, don't scream Kunshen Kunshen. It makes me panic. If you don't mind, just call me Kun or Xiaokun!"
Yue Yun thought for a while and finally accepted the proposal.
Then he said: "Xiao Kun, the waiter in this shop and many natives in the city are not living people!"
Xu Kun shook his tea cup and looked at Yue Yun in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"Ever played games?"
Xu Kun nodded.
Yue Yun pointed at the waiter who was expressionless and repeating his work: "You can think of them as NPCs!"
"Actually, you have seen many creatures living in this form. All the creatures that died in the Haotian Tower will be transformed by the Haotian Tower. However, most of the creatures you encountered before were hostile, which is the so-called racial monster!"
"And those of my own race are mostly NPCs who won't attack you!"
"This is also a major feature of the tenth floor and above. For example, in this Yanhuang City, many shops are run by NPCs. In addition to our trialists who spontaneously protect the Yanhuang City, the main city defenders also They’re all NPCs!”
"Many of them have continued the habits they had during their lifetime, such as the trialists who died defending the city. After their death, they were transformed by Haotian Tower into soldiers who guarded the city forever!"
"Some who have special skills may become apprentices in blacksmith shops, work in medicine shops, etc."
"And for some non-distinctive ones, roles like store waiters will be arranged!"
"They were living people before, but now, they are just a bunch of cold data!"
When Xu Kun heard this, he was in awe. These NPCs who had been deprived of their emotions were actually the martyrs of the human race who had shed blood!
He died for the human race during his lifetime, and after his death, he turned into a string of data to guard the main city of the human race!
Yue Yun continued: "But don't underestimate this kind of data, because you can't do anything without these NPCs in this Yanhuang City!"
"They will issue various daily tasks, waiting for newcomers like you to pick them up and complete them!"
"However, the benefits of most daily tasks are not high, unless you are going for the meager spiritual stones. To gain experience points, instead of completing some cumbersome daily tasks, it is more practical to go to the wild to farm monsters!"
"In addition to some daily tasks that don't need to waste time, these NPCs also have some life skill tasks that are more practical and can be received by everyone!"
"For example, in the blacksmith shop, you can receive basic casting tasks there. After completing them, you can master some casting techniques and even become an F-level casting apprentice!"
"There are also daily tasks issued by the pharmacy. You can learn the skills of picking herbs. If you have the talent for refining medicine, you will be accepted as a registered disciple by the pharmacist of the pharmacy. You can learn up to F-level alchemy skills!"
"These tasks are what we call valuable tasks. I have sent you a list. You can do it selectively!"
"Of course, the upper limit of the value of tasks in the city is limited after all. Apart from these more practical tasks, I think you don't like Xiaokun!"
"For truly large-scale missions, except for universal missions such as city sieges and city defenses, you need to try your luck in the wild. The missions issued by NPCs of the same race you encounter in the wild are uneven. Some people are lucky. Triggering SSS-level tasks, the final reward is even an artifact, and some people can open wild secret realms by completing these wild tasks!"
Missions are a major feature above the tenth floor. Missions in urban areas have low returns, but some are more practical. Missions in the wilds are of different levels. What kind of wild NPCs can you encounter and what kind of missions can you accept? It all depends on personal luck!
If you are lucky enough to receive a high-level mission and complete it, the benefits will be huge!
"The levels of tasks are just like talents, with the lowest level being F and the highest level being SSS. Except for large-scale tasks and hidden tasks triggered by certain specific conditions, most of the main city areas are only F-level and E-level tasks!"
"The tasks you receive in the wild are not only related to luck. The deeper you go, closer to the twenty-story boundary wall, the higher the level of the tasks you can receive. This is the experience gained over the years. All races have in this way!"
"However, it is worth mentioning that the higher the level of the task, the better. Even if you can receive some high-level tasks, you have to consider whether you can complete them based on your own strength. If you do not complete them, some tasks with richer rewards will be punished. It’s getting more serious!”
"But for these punitive tasks, risks also come with opportunities, and the benefits after completion are even greater!"
"In addition, there are some trap missions. Many people die every year because of such missions. The benefits are not proportional to the risks. However, the trap missions themselves are not punitive. The scary thing is that you need to go to the hospital to complete this mission. The place……"
Regarding trap missions, Yue Yun emphasized that in general, keep your eyes on the bright spots, don’t be self-righteous and do things with unknown risks, and go to some unexplored areas!
Yue Yun sent Xu Kun a map again.
"What's this?"
"A comprehensive map of the exploration areas of the six main cities of the human race. It also includes some areas shared by races that have good relations with the human race. There are four levels marked in color according to the degree of exploration!"
Yue Yun pointed his finger at the large green area radiating from the main city: "Green represents a relatively safe area. Most of these places have been explored by us. The distribution of monsters and the distribution of secret areas in the wild need to be paid attention to. They have all been marked one by one, from the six major cities, all the way to the twenty-story boundary wall, and this road is the best route!"
Following Yue Yun's fingers, this green area, starting from the main city, continues to shrink until it goes deep into the higher levels of Haotian Tower. There is only one main road that can be used. The map can be enlarged. Every place in the green area is marked in extremely detail!
But the Haotian Tower is so vast. The six main cities of the human race only cover a small area. This map is just various road signs extending from the main city as a starting point!
There are more green areas near the main city!
The rest, extending out in green, is a large area of yellow.
"The yellow area means that our human race has carried out a certain degree of development, but there are still many unknowns that have not been thoroughly explored, including some monster groups, powerful bosses, etc. The yellow area is also called the paradise of the strong. Do you think To trigger high-level field missions and kill monsters with high returns, the yellow area is definitely the most suitable, but the dangers are the same!"
Xu Kun nodded silently: "What about the red area?"
He pointed at the red areas on the map that looked like dried tofu.
Yue Yun replied seriously: "These areas are generally called Jedi. For ordinary people, they will die without rebirth. Not only are powerful ethnic monsters entrenched, but they also breed powerful wild bosses one after another. A small monster inside They are enough to rival hundreds of trialists of the same level!"
"There are many trialists who claim to be powerful and will attack red areas like this with purpose, but the survival rate is not optimistic, so you have to be cautious even if you want to enter such areas in the future!"
Xu Kun nodded quickly.
But on the map, in addition to green, yellow, and red, the black area occupies the most space on the map.
Before Xu Kun could ask, Yue Yun replied: "Black represents the unknown. Look, does this regional distribution map look like a tree?"
"With the six main cities as the foundation, green represents the densely populated areas and is the trunk of the tree!"
"The yellow area extends out along the green trunk and becomes the branches!"
"The red areas are the leaves growing on the branches, scattered everywhere!"
"We call this situation an exploration tree diagram. In addition to the tree diagram, there are mostly black unknown areas. This kind of area is not necessarily dangerous, but most of it is insurmountable by human power. Like abyss canyons, misty swamps, extremely cold places..."
“Areas where you can’t see the benefits and dangers, and can’t enter, or feel dangerous just by approaching them, will be marked as black areas!”
"But, there are always those who take risks, especially after a new batch of trialists enter the main city every year, they will develop these black areas. This human area exploration tree will also thrive with the efforts of these people. !”
Xu Kun smiled. The unknown represents fear, and it also means that there may be incredible wealth waiting for you. The restless human race has always been happy with this kind of land reclamation!
This is not only the case in the Haotian Tower, but also the Lost Fog Realm where the mirages live on the Blue Star. Back then, it also attracted a large number of adventure enthusiasts to explore inside. Even if one after another people died in it, this enthusiasm could not be stopped!
Taking a sip of tea, Xu Kun digested Yue Yun's experience.
"Brother Yue, is this map very valuable?"
When the map is reduced to its limit, the six major cities are just one of the dots. Unless specially marked, they cannot be seen on the huge map!
Zoom in to the extreme, and it looks like a completely explored green area, and you can even see every corner!
"Haha, this map is indeed hard-won. After all, it was drawn by generations of people from the human race who compiled data. I don't know how many lives were invested. And every map is copyrighted. You can take it and read it yourself. That’s fine, if you share it with others, you will need to pay royalties!”
Xu Kun tried to share it with Yang Yao, and was shocked to find that this map alone required an S-level spiritual stone.
However... the human S-level permission reminds him that he can share it ten times for free!
Just as he was about to speak, Yue Yun joked: "If you want to give me spirit stones, then I won't recognize you as my friend!"
The two looked at each other and eventually burst into laughter.
There is no need for so much fussing between men!
Putting away this valuable map, Xu Kun asked again: "Is there anything I need to pay attention to in the secret realm?"
