"Is this what you found?"
At the highest level of Fars Fortress, in the fortress commander's room, several tired-looking adventurers were standing in front of Dusk and reporting quietly. The decoration here seems to be no different from other fortress rooms. There is no special decoration on the blue wall with its own horizontal and vertical lines. There is only the table in the center of the room filled with items and documents. The large table and the principal's military uniform hanging on the back wall, showing the general's status, are still proving to those who arrive at this place that this place is different from other places.
Of course, another obvious difference was that the sky that could be seen through the windows was much closer than elsewhere in the fortress.
In the dim light, Duan Qingzheng was leaning idly on the stone wall next to the door, watching the team led by Qicai Lingguang reporting his findings in front of the commander-in-chief of the fortress, completing the process of handing in tasks that players commonly call. The mission that several people had just completed was awarded by Dusk himself, and it should naturally be accepted by Dusk himself. However, the general in front of him seemed not satisfied with the results they had brought back from their hard work on the F line. He looked at the small white ball that was placed in the center of the square table after the colorful spiritual light was presented to it, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"Did you really break through the F line and enter the Snow Wolf Army's camp?"
"Yes, yes." In the face of the general's heavy pressure, even players dare not play any tricks at will, and the same is true for Colorful Emmanuel: "But... there is only one person."
"oh?"
Without making any drastic move, Dusk just turned to look at the young man in black clothes and black hair. The latter was silent for a while, and then began to explain his experience in a low voice: "At that time... I sneaked in quietly. There are many sentries in the military camp and the defense is very tight..."
“Then I discovered a place that was completely different from the other tents.”
"I chose an opportunity and rushed into the place at high speed. There was a strange sound immediately inside. I raised my head and looked inside. One of the middle-aged men in a white coat sitting at the table was holding something in his hand. Looking back at me.”
Konoha Tornado lowered his head: "Now that I think about it... I must have been exposed at that time. That strange sound should be some kind of alarm..."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Then he suddenly looked up and found that everyone, including General Dusk, was still looking at him, as if waiting for what would happen next.
"Uh..." Scratching his head in embarrassment, the young man continued to narrate: "Later... there was a commotion outside the door, and I realized that I might have been exposed, so I ran back quickly. What happened next... The captain should have already said it."
"Then..." A few seconds later, General Dusk's rich voice rang: "Where is this little white ball?"
"...This is what I touched from the shelf when I was leaving."
The boy replied: "Maybe it's a sample, because...this thing is the same as what the guy in the white coat is holding."
Playing with the small ball in his hand, Dusk looked at the other person quietly: "So... did you see that person's appearance clearly?"
"Well... let me think about it, that guy wears a pair of glasses and has wavy hair." The boy in black replied in a low voice: "I can't see anything else clearly. The place is very dark, only the front of his desk With the lights on…”
The general behind the square table was silent for a while, and then turned his gaze to the unknown object in his hand: "It seems... what you said is true."
The players present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"But..." the general changed the topic: "If it is true, then the problem here will be even bigger."
Looking at the small ball in his hand, he said slowly: "This small ball... I can't see what its purpose is."
"that……"
"But it doesn't matter. You discovered the secret behind the F line and got back a... so-called sample. That's enough."
The general put the ball on the table and looked at everyone with his hands on his hands: "On behalf of the principality, I would like to thank you for your help."
"Ah, it is our honor to dedicate ourselves to the principality."
Colorful Spiritual Light said this sentence reflexively, and then was stopped by the other party raising his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this."
While he was thinking about something, he bent down and took out some magic cobblestones from a drawer under the table: "This is your reward, go and get it from Vitak."
Behind his back, he clenched his fist hard, and Colorful Emmanuel immediately stepped forward to take it: "Thank you, sir!"
"No need." The general simply replied: "This is also for the sake of... you rescuing a citizen of the principality."
Amidst the excited expressions of several people, Dusk said calmly: "Then, go back to your posts. If there is nothing else..."
"I have two questions."
Behind everyone, at the very back of the room, Duan Qing's voice sounded slowly: "That little ball... what are you going to do?"
"I'll find a professional to handle it."
Holding up his chin with his folded hands, Dusk looked at Duan Qing's face: "Although I don't know this thing, but... I should know that person."
"Among the magicians in the Free Continent, one of the few who serves the empire—Eska."
There was a smile in the general's voice: "So, this thing... should be a magical creation."
"All right……"
When the players present looked at each other, Duan Qing also laughed softly twice, and then continued: "Then, the second question."
"What are you going to do with that refugee?"
This time. Dusk's eyes stayed on him for a longer time: "About this...please rest assured that we will treat every one of our compatriots well."
"The rest..." He paused: "Please just wait quietly for a while."
Under the general's smile, Duan Qing, who was closest to the door, lowered his head and muttered to himself for a while, then turned around and walked out first.
*********************************
"We've only known each other for a day...has your relationship become so good?"
"What's the matter, brother, I'm just... a little excited..."
Walking in the corridor of the fortress, the colorful spiritual light who had received the reward finally relaxed completely, and started teasing the red-haired girl with the hug in full view of the public, and the latter responded with a coquettish smile. He didn't admit it, but his face had the same look of relief as the others. And it wasn't until he walked out of the main building of the fortress and came under the central patio that the leader of this temporary team clapped his hands and found a quiet place to sit down: "Come on, let's share something." Well, this time it was finally a complete success..."
He took out the stone that the commander had given him before and spread it out in front of everyone: "The key to level five! This is the highest level reward that can be obtained currently..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The rest of the people sitting around rubbed their hands, and their faces showed excitement and joy again. Even Duan Qing came over with a curious look on his face: "How many are there?"
"No more, no less, exactly five yuan."
Qicai Lingguang whispered: "When reporting, the person who issued the task will usually mark the specific content of the reward. Our task this time did not write it down. However... this is a task issued by the boss of the fortress, how could we treat him poorly? Are we? Look, this is proof... eh?"
Suddenly worry appeared on his face: "It's still not right... There are two pieces here for weapons and three pieces for armor..."
"How to divide it?"
Equipment distribution has always been a difficult problem in online games, because this kind of obvious and unfair distribution of interests is usually accompanied by all kinds of overt and secret struggles, love and hatred, and it is also the easiest to cause problems. Problems are the main reason that lead to the loss of friends, gaps, struggles, and even the collapse of the team. Therefore, if you want to be a good leader of a player group, in addition to having superb command skills and convincing authority, a reasonable distribution method and a good relationship with members are also important for every good leader. Required courses - although in the end, there will still be more or less problems with the distribution, but it has reached the level of personal quality, and the team leaders have done their best.
Just like what Colorful Emmanuel is doing this time.
"Hmm... Is this good? Because Xiaomu has already taken the epic dagger, and Qingtian and I have lost our weapons, so these two weapon stones belong to the two of us."
Qicai Lingguang paused for a moment: "And then... Since I am a defensive warrior, my demand for weapons is not that high, so I don't need mine, and I can exchange it with one of you armor keys. …”
He hesitated for a long time, his eyes passed through the eyes of other people one by one, and finally landed on Duan Qing. But before he could speak, Duan Qing said first: "I want the one with armor, it's just right for me." My clothes are gone.”
He looked at the red-haired girl: "As for weapons, give it to Xiao Qian. I don't think her staff is a high-end one..."
"Ah? No, no, no, I don't want it, I don't want it..."
"Hey, you said the two of them are not related, I really don't believe it now."
"Um……"
"I don't really need weapons now... Hey, what are you talking about!"
The young man in black nodded with a righteous look on his face, and the girl's expression became fierce, but she still collapsed when Colorful Spirit smiled and stuffed one of the five-level weapon keys into her arms. The latter handed Duan Qing a stone of a different color, and then lowered his voice: "Is that okay? That has a chance of being exchanged for an epic weapon..."
Hey, what I need most is this kind of weapon...
After swallowing the words in his heart, Duan Qing smiled pleasantly and said: "No problem, this is the best way to divide it. But you...as the captain, you have to get some benefits, right?"
"Well, although this is an unwritten rule, the rewards this time are just right. There is no extra thing, and everyone is on their own..."
Before Qicai Lingguang could finish speaking, Konoha Tornado on the opposite side suddenly took out a dark object from his arms and handed it to everyone: "This..."
"Here you go."
[The Butcher’s Bloody Will (Epic)]
[Defense ability: strong]
[Equipment requirements: Strength 30]
[Strength +3, Intelligence -1, Spirit -1]
[Equipment special effect: Bloody Will, whenever you receive damage exceeding 20% of your maximum health, your strength will temporarily increase by 2 points, lasting 30 seconds, and can be superimposed. 】
[The helmets owned by the Bootle clan are made of seemingly ordinary black stainless steel. The black appearance, which symbolizes power and cruelty, does not have any excessive decoration, but it is designed to cover the entire face, so that the wearer can only reveal his own eyes. 】
[It is rumored that everything built by the Butcher Clan is made of materials soaked in countless blood, giving them the ability to gain strength from blood and killing. This rumor is not credible, but we can get a glimpse of it from this helmet that is full of the smell of blood. 】
"Wow!"
"This is……"
Amid the exclamations of those present, Colorful Spiritual Light slowly picked up the familiar helmet: "Xiaomu, this thing..."
"Didn't we pass by once when we were escaping? This... was taken when I was checking the body." Speaking of this place, Konoha Tornado showed a confident smile on his face: "I was thinking at the time ...If the boss really dies and we don't pick up the body...won't we lose everything?"
"Pretty...beautiful!"
"Well done, boy, you are indeed a thief specialist... Oh no, you are a patience specialist!"
"If I had known better, I would have touched one. Maybe I could have gotten that guy's bloody knife. That knife must be more powerful than this helmet..."
"This special effect, tsk tsk...if there was a way to replenish blood, wouldn't it make me invincible?"
"Among the current players, is there anyone with more than 40 points of strength... We will have a chance to see it soon!"
Amid the heated discussion, Colorful Emmanuel slowly raised the black helmet in front of him, but his eyes were looking in the direction of the young man in black: "You... are really brave, if that BOSS is just resting there. …”
"He's dead." Konoha Tornado interrupted the other party decisively. His eyes wandered for a while, and then stopped on the smiling face of Duan Qing: "I was sure at that time that he was dead."
"Right?"
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
Under the doubtful gaze of the colorful aura and the peek of the red-haired girl, Duan Qing lowered his head and pretended to cough in pain for a while, then raised his head and said, "It's complete now. If the captain collects one more piece of equipment, Xiaomu will snatch it back in person." Yes, everyone is satisfied, so there is nothing like compensation..."
"Yeah."
The topic returned to its original direction, and Qicai Lingguang, the captain, also confessed: "Since everyone has a prize in this dungeon, I will forget about the compensation that was originally agreed... But, Xiaomu, are you sure you want to Will you give me this thing? This thing is of epic quality, valuable, and has great room for appreciation..."
Every piece of equipment has its own value and future value. Some may look powerful now, but may be eliminated when players reach level 50 in the future. Some may be just the opposite. They look great now. It is not very useful at first, but in the future there may be room for it to play its role, and it may even grow to be more powerful. This helmet is what it is, but that powerful special effect is not its most likely potential value, but the last word attached to the equipment description.
【Bloody Butcher:1/5】
[Set attributes: Inactive. 】
"Come on, I didn't have to take it out and just ate it myself, but now it's all in your hands..." Duan Qing on the side said with a smile: "Just take it."
He patted the dirt on his body, then stood up: "Let's go."
"Hey, where are you going?" Qian Zhihe's voice sounded from behind.
"Go and receive the award." Duan Qing stopped when he heard the sound, then turned around and explained.
"Seeing that each of you has good things, my hands are itchy." (To be continued.)
