Chapter 58: Catch an acquaintance

"Is it you?" I looked at the person talking in surprise. I have seen this young man once before. He was the young man we met when we first arrived here. At that time, he was still shouting that he wanted to kill the holders of the national weapon to grab equipment. Unfortunately, it was destroyed from the beginning of the battle. It was right to think about it. It would be strange if people like him were mixed in the battle between us holders of the national weapon to not die. It was like a group of Tyrannosaurus rexes fighting, and you, a little ostrich, had to be involved, and it was natural to be trampled to death.

I glanced at the large group of people behind him, and then asked him in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"Is this a big deal? Of course I'm rushing for equipment! I'm oh... Why are you hitting me?"

Before the guy could finish his words, he was hit by a stick by a mage pro. "You said that you are going to pick up the bargain and grab Boss Zi Ri?"

The mage's face showed that he was on the verge of explosion, but the young man was still saying stupidly: "I didn't plan to steal whoever I wanted to steal at that time, but I just robbed whoever I saw when I saw that there were those left."

This time, the mage didn't need to speak, and a group of people around him rushed up and knocked the guy to the ground and beat him up. One of them kept accusing him of me and Zhenhong. "Sorry, we are not here to grab things, but this fool promised that there were high-end equipment fights here, saying that we could pick up some bargains, so we came here! If we knew that you were here, we would definitely not have come!"

I waved my hand and said I didn't care. "This is the monthly test of the national weapon holder. Even if I die, I will not explode the equipment. Besides, you can't get into the battle between the national weapon holder. If you come, you will die. Now the battle is over. We are leaving. You should do whatever you should do." After I said that, I raised my hand back, and the demon pets immediately entered the Phoenix Dragon Space. I quickly chose to complete the competition. Since Zhenhong had already voluntarily admitted defeat before, I was recognized as the last winner. Although Zhenhong voluntarily withdrew, it may be because there were only two of us left, so the system still sent the free point she represented and the lottery assist skill.

After confirming that I was teleported to a special space alone, and I guess I was sent to a similar place. This place is pitch black and bright in the center is specially used for communicating and other communications with individual players. When I encounter this environment, I usually come to lottery, and this time is obviously no exception.

Sure enough, the prompt rang quickly. "Congratulations as the final winner for entering the rewards of the National Artifact Holder. First of all, please confirm whether you understand the usage and function of the lottery auxiliary skills you have obtained before."

“I don’t understand.”

"So do you need me to explain to you or do you ignore this skill and go directly to the reward distribution stage?"

"Please explain it to me."

"The lottery auxiliary skills are special skills specifically used for reward distribution. This skill is invalid in normal game state and only takes effect when you get a reward. Different skills will have different effects on the lottery results. Since there are many skill items, please draw your skills first and then explain it based on the skills you have obtained." A circle popped up around me to say hello. "Every question mark around you represents a skill. Please touch a question mark at will to draw specific skills."

Because I didn't know what skills each question mark corresponded to, I didn't read it much, just click one and it ended.

"Congratulations. The skill you draw is 50% selective blocking. The function of this skill is to block half of the results you do not want to appear in the lottery process according to your wishes. For example: Suppose you have packaged ten unknown items in the task reward, you can only choose one. At this time, you can use this skill to choose the five items with the best performance or the five items with the worst performance, and you can even ask the system to select the five items that are most useful or useless to you based on your attributes. Although your selection range has been narrowed after using this skill, the possibility of drawing a satisfactory reward will be greatly increased."

I nodded: "I understand, isn't it just to remove half of the unsatisfactory results?"

"You have roughly correct understanding. Can you do the following? "

"Can."

"Then..." There was a white wall in front of me, with ten by ten in total 100 squares on the wall. "What you see now is the reward wall. According to the completion of your previous task, there is a different set of numbers behind each square. You can select a square to flip it. No matter what the number behind it is, you can get free attribute points of the corresponding value. Tips, this reward can use skills. In the future, if you encounter a lottery event, if you can use the lottery auxiliary skill system, it will ask before the lottery. If there is no inquiry, it means that the lottery auxiliary skill is not allowed in the lottery activity. Will you use this time?"

"use."

"Please tell me the characteristics of half of the options you want to block?"

"I asked to block the option with the smallest value."

"Finish." Fifty squares on the wall ahead of me suddenly disappeared at the same time. "Please start choosing a reward."

Anyway, it was a chance that I simply closed my eyes and touched a square and pounded it gently.

"The reward free attribute points you draw are 8,500 points, the highest reward score in this reward is 10,000 points, the lowest score before blocking is 1,000 points, and the lowest score after blocking is 6,000 points."

Not bad. Although I didn’t draw 10,000 points, it was no more than 8,000. You should know that if you don’t consider your skills, people who are extremely declining may draw 1,000 with super low rewards.

The system soon began to enter the second reward project. The flip array in front of me suddenly disappeared, and a large number of earth spheres of different sizes and colors appeared. I recognized them at a glance that they were all magic pet eggs, and it seemed that they were all kinds of different types.

"Your second reward is to get a magic pet egg. This time you can use the skills. Do you want to use it?"

"Yes. Please help me block half of the options that are the lowest grade and are the least suitable for me."

"Sorry. This skill cannot be cross-blocked under double standards. Please choose to block the lowest level or the least suitable half. You can also redefine the blocking standard."

I thought about it and it seemed that what I said just now was indeed a bit problematic. "Then I asked to block half of the benefits for me at least." This requirement is actually very vague. And the ones in it mean that there are multiple requirements, but it sounds like a single requirement.

Not to mention, the system can indeed process this fuzzy data. "Request acceptance, you can start choosing."

The eggs in front of me were half missing. It seemed that the smallest half had been removed, which means that the remaining half was at least useful. I carefully walked a few circles between these eggs to evaluate the various eggs, and then carefully selected a few eggs to concentrate and started the experiment.

After all, I am a professional trainer who relies on magic pets to make a living. The magic pet egg is of course very well-educated. Although the magic pet eggs appear to be similar on the surface, there are many things that ordinary people don’t understand. Only senior animal trainers can see the secrets.

The first point: The size of an adult magic pet has nothing to do with the size of the magic pet egg. Never apply the common sense in reality that a creature with a large egg must be large in hatching. What really determines the volume of a magic pet is not the size of the egg, but its density. Use the drainage method to accurately measure the volume of the egg, and then weigh and convert the average density of the egg. The larger the density, the larger the volume of the magic pet. For example, the dragon egg is only as big as a watermelon, but most people can't even hold it. The snow fox egg looks similar to a winter melon, but it is actually very light.

The second point: The aspect ratio of the egg determines the attributes of the monster. Although some demon pets in zero do not have magic pet eggs. For example, many unhatched angels form angel crystals instead of angel eggs, there is one thing that is, the appearance ratio of the egg-forming period determines their future attributes. With the golden ratio of 0.618 as the dividing line, the longer the egg hatchs, the more physical attack type, and the shorter and thicker or even circular ones, the more magic attack type. If the aspect ratio of an egg happens to be 0.618, it will be great, and the hatched ones must be the all-round magic weapon.

The third point: The quality of the magic pet depends on the hardness. No matter what type of magic pet egg is, the hardness determines the combat effectiveness of this magic pet. The simplest example is that you can smash the egg with your forehead (although it will hurt a little), but you can smash it after all. But if you smash the dragon egg with your forehead, I promise that it will be your head first. Of course, we cannot really smash the egg to verify the quality. The magic pet in "Zero" has been so rare that ten people can only be divided into one magic pet. In addition, there are many people like me who bring a bunch of pets alone, so even if you pick up a slime egg, who is unwilling to be willing to smash it. If you accidentally smash it, who is responsible? The magic pet egg is not insured! Therefore, don't knock it with something during the test, but use a sword to gently scratch it. If even a very sharp weapon cannot cause scratches, it is usually a very good creature.

Based on the third point above, I am currently slashing those eggs with Eternal Extremely carefully. Although Eternal is extremely sharp, as long as you don’t use any effort, you can’t cut everything. As for those eggs that will rot as long as you are touched by Eternal, you don’t need to consider this. Anyway, the system will not pursue how many eggs I broke when I choose, as long as I choose the right one in the end.

After trying it, it seems that there are only four eggs and three strange objects with good hardness, and they all seem to be high-end products. Based on the first and second points mentioned above, I roughly judged the situation of the eggs. The final result was that five of these magic pets were physical attack types, one magic type and one all-around type. According to the results obtained from density tests, I determined that the physical attack type creatures were relatively large in size. The magic creature was surprisingly small. As for the mixed creature, it was of moderate size.

After reaching these conclusions, I directly ruled out the five physical creatures. The remaining magic creature was not egg-shaped. It was a large piece of giant white crystal comparable to a refrigerator. As for the other mixed creature, it was a colorful egg. Although I finally selected two creatures that might be very good, I could only get one in the end, so I had to continue to screen.

At this time, I used the fourth key point. The fourth key point for choosing the magic pet: the faster the energy absorption speed of the magic pet in the embryonic stage, the stronger the future. Based on this characteristic, I gritted my teeth and took two crystal stones as experimental items. First, I pasted one of the crystal stones on the surface of the large crystal, and the crystal disappeared completely with just a flash of light. It seems that this creature is very strong. I also did the same experiment with the easter egg next to me, but the speed was significantly slower.

Pointing at the large crystal, I shouted to the top of my head: "I have chosen it, I want this."

"The magic pet belongs to you, you can use it yourself or choose to transfer it or sell it."

"I'd better keep it for myself." As I said, I had already dripped a drop of blood onto the crystal. As soon as the giant crystal touched my blood, a white light shone, and the light became more and more unstable. The white light began to change to red, and finally turned completely red. Then the crystal suddenly melted into a pool of liquid like ice cream, and finally vaporized into a red luminous fog.

I looked at the creature in front of me in surprise, and never expected that I would have chosen an invisible creature. According to the practice of "Zero", invisible creatures are like military police in the army, and they are at level 3. Usually, 400 nihilistic creatures can fight most of the creatures below level 600, while 800 nihilistic creatures can usually defeat non-attribute restraint or irrelevant creatures within level 1,000 without suspense. The so-called irrelevant creatures here do not refer to some kind of creatures. Instead, the two creatures have no attribute relationship with each other. For example, the spiritual body and the demon puppet are typical irrelevant creatures. The spiritual body has no entity and does not have physical attack power, and can only hurt the other party's soul. The demon puppet has no soul and can only physically attack. These two creatures can only stare at each other without any suspense. You can't touch me, and I can't do anything about you.

Since the one I have obtained now is a nihilistic creature, it means that it has at least a practical use effect that exceeds its own level. This is a big profit. I resisted the excitement and carefully extended a hand to the magic pet. It slowly floated to my hand, and then began to gradually shrink the body and finally formed a red light ball that was probably slightly larger than the basketball. This light ball is basically translucent, and from outside you can see that the core is flashing with a particularly bright core at the center.

"System, expand properties." I dictated the operation instructions.

A big explanation appeared in front of me. There was a detailed introduction to the creature in front of me. The name column reads: "Shining Spirit". The origin introduction says it is a special energy creature without subjective consciousness born in an environment where natural energy is highly concentrated. There are many things in the attributes behind it. I roughly looked at it and found that this magic pet did not use any attack power. It is completely a magic battery.

This shining spirit can usually use the automatic recovery ability of all summoned creatures in me and me to accumulate energy, and it also has strong recovery ability. That is to say, it is always in a "charge" state. However, when we enter the combat state, it is its turn to "discharge". This guy can release the energy accumulated in normal times according to different attributes, that is, it does not replenish us with magic power, and even health value can be replenished. If we release magic or are hit by the enemy, it will replenish real-time energy. No matter how many swords we are cut, as long as its energy is not exhausted, our own health value will never drop. No matter how much magic we release, as long as its magic power is not bottomed out, our magic power will not dry up.

As I turned the attribute introduction to the second page, I found that the above battery-like abilities are just its ordinary abilities. This guy actually has a large number of auxiliary skills, such as strength enhancement and magic enhancement. It can almost all of them, and all kinds of special auxiliary skills include extreme perverted skills such as transformation and low-level biological control. After I read the skill list, I check the attributes again. Good guy. This guy's grade is actually level 1,500. No wonder the skills are so perverted. Although it has almost no attack power when there is no helper, even if there is a rabbit fighting with it, it can make this rabbit defeat unicorns. This is the terrifying thing about super auxiliary creatures.

I was naturally very satisfied with such a strong creature, so I finally chose to hang it under Lingling's name. Lingling is a human-shaped pet, and can bring two magic pets. Among them, the ghost light occupies one, and it just happens to be empty. Now I hang the Shining Spirit, which is just enough to fill it up. Since the Shining Spirit is relatively long, it is inconvenient to call it. So I named it Color Ball, which will be faster to summon. In a battle, creatures with too long names will be summoned by a few seconds. The possible outcome in a master's battle depends on these zero seconds.

After the two rewards were completed, the system began to award me the last reward, but this time it was a reward that could not be used. The reward content was very simple, there were only three things in total. The first one was a badge, called the infinite task badge, and the function was to turn everything I did into a task. In other words, no matter what I did, I would form a task mode, and I would get additional rewards as long as I completed it. But once I failed, the punishment was also very serious. The second reward item was a basin of water, which was the special ability to transform into water after drinking it. The third reward I was most familiar with, this was a golden gear. If ordinary people would definitely not know what this was, but I was one of the few people who knew it.

To be precise, this golden gear should be considered a magic pet egg. It is a magic pet that has not formed. The reason why it appears in the form of a gear is because the race of this creature is like YiFreit. On the surface, it seems that the various attack methods in Zero are ever-changing, but in the final analysis, there are actually three types: physical attack, energy attack, and spiritual attack. Beyond this, you can't find the fourth attack method. Corresponding to these three attack methods are three attack immunity. As mechanical life forms, the biggest advantage is that all this creature has the characteristics of mental attack immunity, because most of them have souls, and even some high-end goods have souls, they are solidified, and mental attacks do not work at all.

I am a professional system mainly for animal trainers. I naturally chose that gear. No matter what, animal trainers should try to accumulate as much as possible. Since the creature represented by this gear can be placed at the end as one of the prizes, it must be a very advanced species. Moreover, the creatures in the mission reward area may not be obtained within the normal game range, so it would be a pity to miss it.

After I picked up the gear and confirmed that this was the prize I wanted, the system was no longer polite to me. Lima kicked me out of the mission space and threw it back to Aisinger. I excitedly ran to the field with the gear in my arms to test the nature of this magic pet.

After the blood dripped, a flash of light flashed on the gear, and then two metal rods suddenly bounced up on the gear, and then the whole gear suddenly unfolded into a pile of hedgehog-like metal bodies. As this guy spread out layer by layer in my eyes like a Transformer, and finally turned into a humanoid object more than two meters tall. At the moment she was forming, I felt like I was being thundered. So much so that I had to use her to replace it.

The creature in front of you is very strange. Her shape can make you see at a glance that she is a mechanical product, but she does not have the slightest metallic feeling, but looks like a work of art. The body constructed in human form has the basic appearance of human beings. The difference is that most of the body surface is composed of silver-white metal, and many positions are dotted with golden gems. Her head looks triangular cone, her chin is the top corner of the pointed cone, and the entire face is a whole blue crystal cover with curves. Two golden lines extend from her chin along the jaw to the ears. Then they do not gather backwards with the curve of the head. Instead, they continue to extend outward into two flowing wings. These two wings and an object like a vertical tail wing inserted diagonally above her head, just form a perfect space shape, giving people a cold beauty.

The body lines of this metal creature are almost inaccessible. The graceful curves make up all of her. I call it "she", because the curves on her chest and waist give people a very feminine impression. It is obviously inappropriate to call him. Such a mechanical body that combines the coldness of machinery and the softness of women, really makes people wonder how exquisite her 3D stylist's artistic skills are.

Just as I felt her beauty, she suddenly spoke. The blue mask would flash regularly with her voice. "Master, Thor Grace is ready to complete, the initialization information is normal, and the current status: waiting for it. Please indicate."

The electronic sound with obvious female voices illustrates a serious problem-she has no soul!

"Yifrit, Ling, you guys come out to help see our new partner."

The main purpose of calling out the demon pets is to let Ephrit to help me confirm the guess just now. Although mechanical life bodies are mentally immune, what I want is the kind of immunity that solidifies the soul, not the immunity without soul. Mechanical life bodies without souls can only be regarded as life-related machinery, and cannot be called creatures. If the one in front of me is just a soulless machine, then at best she is just a higher-level demon puppet.

Everett circled around the mechanical life form three or four times, and finally scanned it with a special beam. Then he said to me: "I can't observe her internal structure, but since there is such a high defense level, it should be a high-level mechanical life form with souls."

"But no matter how she looks, she looks like a devil's puppet than an ordinary life body."

"It may be the result of the limited intelligence of the primary state." Ling suddenly said.

"This is possible!" Ephrit also agreed with Ling's view.

I thought for a while and said, "Then don't delay. Let's take her to level up and see what will happen after the level is upgraded."

Usually, the upgrade of the magic pet is much faster than that of the players, otherwise my level will not always limit the level of the magic pets. Now that we have so many magic pets, leveling up is very simple. Let's beat the enemy together and let Brigitte finish the last time. Although "Zero" is allocated experience according to the ratio of blood damage, the last knife has special experience rewards, and the one we took Brigitte to the advanced monster area must be. With Brigitte's current level, it is basically equivalent to jumping to several hundred levels to kill monsters, and the cross-level rewards will be very terrifying.

After deciding to level up, I brought everyone to RB together. The reason I came here was because I wanted to check what was going on here. The time for Ghost Nobunaga and his conspiracy to attack on the Earth Monument of the Emperor Tianhou was about to come, but we have never been able to figure out what style of play they used. This time, I brought Brigitte to level up. Where to practice is not practice? There is also an advantage in leveling up RB. That is, you don’t have to kill monsters here, and RB players are the same for us. Anyway, killing players from other countries after the national war begins is equivalent to killing monsters, so why not do it?

With this idea, I put away the magic pet and teleported to the RB's fulcrum city. As soon as I exited the teleportation array, I could clearly feel a completely different tension from the country. The huge urban building area has been demolished and dilapidated houses can be seen everywhere, as if they had been looted. At the beginning, the name of this city was to hope that it would become the support point and beachhead for us to attack RB. And in the later battles it did play such a role. Now, due to the continuous victory of Chinese players and the contraction defense of RB people, the surrounding fulcrum city has become a liberated area, so there is no need to go through various battles here. However, since the transnational teleportation array is here, it is still the main transportation hub for Chinese players to enter RB.

Due to the mission, I haven't been to the fulcrum city for a long time. I didn't expect that when I came here again, I saw such a dilapidated environment. The transport teams on the street were very busy, and it didn't look like they had just fought a war, but why did the city become like this?

"Huh? Why are you running for RB?" The person who spoke was Hongyue. She was one of the military supervisors of our guild. She was wherever the battlefield was.

Instead of answering her, I asked back, "How did this happen here?"

Hongyue turned her head and looked at it and explained clearly: "Oh, you said this! This is what I asked to demolish the floor."

"What? Why did you ask someone to demolish the house?"

"Wars on the front line require wood and stone. Transport from the domestic market is not only too expensive, but the speed is also a bit unsatisfactory. Rose originally planned to let us use materials locally on RB, but unfortunately RB people are too cruel. Any mining area that cannot be guarded will try their best to destroy it. Now our local people are basically piled on the front line, and almost all the second-line reserve teams have become transportation teams. There is really no need for personnel to develop mining areas like this!"

"Then you can't demolish the house!"

"What should I do if I don't demolish it? The frontline war urgently needs siege equipment, especially the wood consumption is too fast, so ours can't keep up with the transportation at all. So I simply ordered the demolition of all cities along the way except for functional buildings. The dismantled materials are temporarily used as military supplies."

"If the wood is not enough, can't you find a carpenter player to go to the front line to process? Although the land area is not large, there are still many trees!"

"My president! You don't know how expensive it is to be a businessman! Do you know how difficult it is to mine resources on the RB side?"

"Can't RB's resources be mined? It shouldn't be! I remember that in the game, the difficulty of ore mining in various countries is the same!"

Hongyue shook her head and said, "The difficulty of mining is not a natural problem, it is caused by man. You also know that there are not many RB players, but there are many ninjas. What do you think can ninjas do? They can't fight against warriors, and they are not the opponent of Taoists. What are the best at playing ninjas? They have to go into the forest? That ghost place is simply a ninja paradise. Besides, we can't control the workers when they disperse. We can't transfer all the troops on the front line to protect the forest farm, right? Those professions who have only learned mining either have no combat power. They have super low combat power and are not the opponent of ninjas at all. We can't fill in with people, right? So now, except for some forest farms that happen to be located in the middle of our army's defense, we can only transport materials from the rear. Besides, the transportation team is not absolutely safe. Little RB is looking for people to ambush our transportation team every few days, which really makes me so big!"

"That's right." I said happily: "I'm going to go to RB to bring new magic pets to level up, so I just happened to use these little RBs to practice!"

"This is a good idea. Anyway, you have enough summoned beasts. As long as you cast a net, you will definitely find some ambush teams."

"Okay, tell me which area is the most vulnerable to attacks lately?"

"This area." Hongyue expanded her personal map and drew a range for me. "All the highway line are frequent areas."

"Okay. I'll go and look for it now."
To be continued...
