Inside the Black Goat.
Zuo Chang didn't move, and neither did the others.
The Saint of Time was still standing on the roof of the ancestral hall. Qian Wuyi and Commander Ying had already met. They stayed in the Round Table Hall, not knowing what they were waiting for.
"stranger."
The door of the dark ancestral hall opened, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Dead appeared behind the door, with blue fire coming out of his eyes: "Fifty skeleton knights have been prepared. How do you want me to use them?"
Zuo Chang stood up: "Once every fifteen minutes, send a knight to harass the contestants in the Round Table Hall. I don't expect you to achieve anything, at least let those two not have a good rest."
"Hmph...it's a sinister way, but I like it."
The Lord Commander of the Dead whistled.
A skeleton soldier emerged from the ground, mounted a skeleton horse that also grew out of the ground, and galloped towards the Round Table Hall on the green will-o'-the-wisp.
People need to rest.
People with high cultivation levels just have stronger tolerance and battery life than ordinary people. If they don't sleep for three to five days, their combat effectiveness will inevitably decrease.
Qian Wuyi was not in a hurry, and Zuo Chang was even less anxious.
The Skeleton Knight of the Third Realm can't kill anyone, so it's easy to make some noise.
The commander turned to look at Zuo Chang and said, "Stranger, do you want something to eat?"
"?"
Zuo Chang looked at it: "You also provide catering?"
The commander nodded: "As long as you pay, catering is not a problem."
Zuo Chang looked up and down at the armor rack in front of him and said: "There is a question that has been bothering me for a long time. Commander, why do you need old gold coins? Is there any place in the ancient wooden castle that needs money?"
In fact, Zuo Chang didn't worry about it for long.
At first, he thought that the Ascension World was a game, and Black Goat was just a game within the game, and it was normal to have unreasonable things.
but……
It seems strange once you know this to be true.
Why do these "NPCs" serve the contestants?
If Zuo Chang were the leader of the dead, it would be nice not to punch the contestants, but also to help...
Is it worthy of something like that to come and run wild on my property?
The commander was unusually calm and replied: "There is nothing to doubt. The old gold coins are the atonement."
"Indulgences?"
The great commander said: "All the creatures in the ancient wooden castle, including this king, are the dust of history, and their souls have long since returned to heaven. The gods rescued us from eternal death and allowed us to station here, with you all. 'Contestants' play games. The deadline is - 80 million old gold coins."
Zuo Chang heard this and nodded silently.
The commander continued: "As long as we collect 80 million old gold coins, the gods will grant us freedom. We can retain our memories and be reincarnated."
Zuo Chang felt strange: "Is there such a thing?"
"There is no need to question God's promise, she does not need to lie; there is no need to question God's ability, she is omnipotent. The only pity is... 80 million is too much. So far, we have only earned more than 62 million , it’s still a long time.”
well.
The armor sighed quietly.
Zuo Chang was quick-thinking and said, "I still have some old gold coins with me that I can give to you. But... I want to know, what do you plan to exchange for them?"
"Stranger, I know nothing except summoning skeleton knights. How about you see how much I'm worth? I'll come on and fight for you for a while!"
"..."
Forget it, forget it, it's just harassment if you do it, it has no other use.
Zuo Chang said: "You can exchange it with your treasure."
The commander shook his head: "I have no treasure. My treasure has long disappeared with me in the long river of history."
Zuo Chang came up with another idea: "Perhaps you can tell me the secret of the Black Goat. How many people like you are there? I can pay you a consulting fee."
"Um--"
The commander raised his hand and pinched the lower edge of his helmet.
It said: "There is a witch in the Round Table Hall——"
"I know that."
The commander added: "Then, there is a coin weirdo in the center of the ancient wooden castle——"
Zuo Chang waved his hand: "I know that too, it's a scam. Let you flip a coin. Heads is a bonus, tails is a curse. The status cannot be canceled, and you can only flip the coin once! What if it comes up tails?"
"hiss……"
The commander-in-chief told him all the information he knew.
Zuo Chang discovered that he had come into contact with all the NPCs in Black Goat.
Think about it, there is a map when playing games.
If there are NPCs in the area, an exclamation point will appear on the map. With such convenient guidance, what is the possibility of missing something?
At the end of the sentence, the commander shook his head and said: "There are no others. Oh - there is one more, but it is a mechanism and does not cost money, and whether it will appear or not is not necessarily certain."
Zuo Chang raised his eyes and asked: "What mechanism?"
"Reward mechanism. It will only appear if the final winner of the Black Goat is the 'organizer'. Because the organizer will definitely collect all seven general seals, that mechanism can be regarded as a gift to the future general."
Zuo Changqi asked: "Congratulations gift? What is it?"
The commander said: "It is a design drawing of a 'wonder'. The wonder is called the 'Block of Destiny'. After it is completed, the output of all copies will increase by 30%, which is very great!"
"?"
Zuo Chang was shocked when he heard this!
How much does the output of all copies increase?
Thirty percent? !
He asked: "I have never heard of such a miracle! The output of all dungeons is increased by 30%? Do you... do you know how much output a community has under normal circumstances? Most dungeons do not need to be queued. Swipe whenever you go!”
Loosely speaking, there are three types of copies.
It is similar to an "ancient battlefield". There is only one venue. If there are people inside, latecomers can only queue up;
The other type is an independent space. Even if someone has just entered in front of you, those who come after you can enter and exit normally. The two groups go on their own adventures and will not meet each other, which is more similar to the dungeon design in online games;
The last one is the most special and rare.
It is similar to an ancient battlefield. There is only one venue. There is no need to queue and you can enter it at any time.
In a community, those who come first and those who come later are all in the same dungeon, and grabbing monsters and bosses often happens. There are even crazy people who specialize in taking advantage of such dungeons, killing people and grabbing treasures. It can be described as extremely dark.
This copy has a refresh cycle, usually once a week.
After refreshing, everything in the copy will be restored to its original state, and a new round of strategy will begin.
Relatively speaking, 80% of copies are of the second type, and the vast majority of a community's output comes from the second type of copy.
Therefore, "a 30% increase in copy output" is a quite terrifying gain.
The value of this wonder known as the "Clock of Destiny"...
I’m afraid it’s hard to measure!
The Commander-in-Chief obviously knew the benefits, and he said with a "hum--": "How? How much is this information worth?"
Also difficult to measure!
Zuo Chang took out a bag containing more than two thousand old gold coins and said: "Commander, if I win in the end and you lead me to find the design of the Bell of Destiny, then all the old gold coins I have will be yours. "
The commander looked at the bulging money bag, and the blue fire in the helmet became brighter and brighter!
"Hmph... I have one more reason to help you, stranger."
Its tone revealed greed.
More updates will start next week.
