Chapter 93: Colorful Mist Coast (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

【Newbie Player Wants to Ask Everyone a Question: Where Do You All Find Meng Yuan Chu Monsters? My Friend and I Have Crossed Mountains and Valleys Searching Everywhere, Yet We Haven't Encountered a Single Meng Yuan Chu Monster.】

Poster: Until a Arrow Hit My Knee.

Content:

First, let me complain: as a newbie player who just arrived, I've discovered a very serious problem in the game.

The output of game resources is too low, yet the places in the game that consume resources are especially numerous.

Reviving after death, purchasing Painful Painful Minghun, upgrading Body Tempering levels, upgrading the Guide, daily Shangcheng consumption (canned food, water); the daily output of Shou Shou Jili is severely short and simply not enough to spend.

Besides necessary investments, there are many potential Shou Shou Jili consumption points.

For example, consigning items on the Jiao Yi Xing Gong requires deducting a 5% handling fee; I find this setting somewhat hard to understand.

If a game has a problem of currency inflation, it indeed needs to indirectly recover currency through the handling fee of the trading hall model.

But with Shou Shou Jili output in the game being this low, what is the point of setting a handling fee? Doesn't the already scarce Shou Shou Jili become even scarcer? I can't figure out the original intention of the Moon Eclipse Clan designing this function; it is purely tormenting players.

But what I most want to complain about is not the trading hall function; charging a 5% handling fee isn't too high and is within an acceptable range.

What I understand least is that the Painful Painful Minghun decomposition function also charges a 5% handling fee.

Everyone might not understand how terrifying the 5% handling fee for Painful Painful Minghun decomposition is; let me calculate a bill for you very intuitively.

Take the Black Armored Snake Painful Painful Minghun as an example.

A Level 1 Black Armored Snake requires 10 Evolution Points to advance to a Level 2 Black Armored Snake.

If we strip and decompose the Level 2 Black Armored Snake, we can obtain 959.5 Shou Shou Jili (the initial Painful Painful Minghun of the Black Armored Snake is calculated as 1000).

Looking at it this way, only about 40 points of Shou Shou Jili are taken, which isn't very high, right?

But if you raise the level and strength, you will absolutely be scared to death by the data.

Suppose years later, my Black Armored Snake Painful Painful Minghun reaches Level 200; at this time, the 5% deducted when decomposing the Black Armored Snake Painful Painful Minghun will extract an astronomical amount of Shou Shou Jili.

It seems like only 5%, but this 5% and the Level 2 Black Armored Snake are not on the same scale at all.

The Evolution Points needed for Painful Painful Minghun upgrades in the game follow an upward curve; 5% at Level 200 equals 10 levels, and this 10-level improvement might require me to spend a month, or even more time and energy.

The seemingly very low 5% becomes a higher cost expenditure the later the game stage.

If you stretch this time to 10 years, this 5% fee could be half a year of your hard work.

Therefore, I think the percentage deduction for Star Vein decomposition is unreasonable; the cost of replacing Star Vein combinations in the late game is too high.

If the Moon Eclipse Clan officials see this, I hope you will improve the settings; I like this game very much, so I hope you will optimize the details to bring players a better gaming experience.

Finally, let me touch on the title: newbie wants to ask the big shots, where exactly do you all contain Meng Yuan Chu monsters? This is the core point of earning Shou Shou Jili in the game, but my friend and I simply cannot encounter Meng Yuan Chu.

Night Is Approaching: After reading your post, I found the content very good; the points you complained about are issues I have considered, and the problems of low game currency output and excessive consumption do indeed exist.

But you don't need to worry too much about the 5% consumption for Painful Painful Minghun decomposition; theoretically, the speed at which you earn Shou Shou Jili and Evolution Points is directly proportional to the improvement of your own strength; as long as replacing the Painful Painful Minghun brings a strength improvement, there is no so-called loss.

Let me simply analyze it for you: suppose the Star Vein combination you currently have provides combat power that can generate an average of 100 points of Shou Shou Jili for you daily.

After optimizing and replacing the Star Vein, combat power improves, hunting efficiency increases, which can bring you more Shou Shou Jili income; this is equivalent to indirectly compensating for your loss.

Therefore, when replacing Star Veins in the late game, the first thing to consider is the magnitude of combat power improvement; if replacing with a new combination can bring a 1-fold combat power boost, a 5% income loss is nothing at all; this issue must be considered in combination with strength improvement.

The key is, you can't possibly strip everything and replace with new ones every time you change a Painful Painful Minghun.

Just like the Qi-Eating Painful Painful Minghun for magic-type players; magic-type players swap back and forth, but the Qi-Eating one is always there.

The 5% handling fee paid after stripping and decomposing a single one cannot be calculated using the 5% of a complete Star Vein combination; these are two different things.

If you have five Painful Minghuns and only strip and decompose one of them, the handling fee charged to you should be 1% of the total Painful Painful Minghun cost, not 5% (assuming the levels of the five embedded Painful Minghuns are the same).

Is this beaver? Reply to Night Is Approaching: Brother Night is indeed the number one guy on the forum; with high-intensity forum browsing, you were educating newbies the moment the post opened; I feel your reputation on the forum will only grow higher, after all, many newbies grow up reading your strategy posts (Like. jpg).

Boiling Wine Burning Smoke: I don't care about the poster's expenditure issue, but I have the same thought as you: where exactly can we contain Meng Yuan Chu? This counts as the easiest way to get rich in the game, but we simply cannot find Meng Yuan Chu monsters; I asked the Guide, and the answer given was to look for them by luck or by probability; but after searching the forum for information about Meng Yuan Chu, I discovered that since the server opened, there has been only one instance of a Meng Yuan Chu appearing; this probability is too low.

Hand Over Your Spicy Strips: The most ridiculous thing isn't the probability of a Meng Yuan Chu appearing; I suggest you go check the Painful Painful Minghun Library in the Star Vein function; every contained Painful Painful Minghun has a suffix with the containing player's information and specific time records; you will discover a ridiculous phenomenon: the time span for containing Meng Yuan Chu is getting longer and longer; even more ridiculous is that right when the server opened, a player contained five Meng Yuan Chu monsters; newbies are crying and fainting in the toilet; the advantage of veteran players is too great.

Game Grinders Reply to Hand Over Your Spicy Strips: Don't say you newbies are envious; I, a veteran player who entered the game on the day the server opened, am envious too; back then, "hammering iron" relied on hard strength; challenging Meng Yuan Chu across levels was something not just anyone could learn; I respect him for containing five Meng Yuan Chu.

Meng Yuan Chu Altar.

Qi Sheng was discussing the next update content with the Guide.

After observing these days, he discovered that players have encountered a bottleneck in their development.

More accurately, they have encountered restrictions in containing Meng Yuan Chu.

There are only this many Meng Yuan Chu monsters in the Di Zha Mountain Range region; contain one, and one less remains.

To find more Meng Yuan Chu monsters, one must walk out of the Di Zha Mountain Range region and explore a broader world.

But the Insect Tide and the Black Tide are like two roadblocks that are hard to move; they cannot be solved in a short time and have already plunged the Player Clan into a protracted war.

The Player Clan is growing, and the Insect Tide and Black Tide are also growing wildly.

The Monster World is after all not a game; there is no newbie zone setting.

Both roadblocks are forces with boundless potential and are absolutely not easily chewed through.

This leads to the time span for containing Meng Yuan Chu monsters becoming longer and longer.

How to solve this problem has become a difficult puzzle that Qi Sheng needs to think about and resolve.

After discussion and exchange with the Guide.

An idea surged in his mind.

Build a spatial teleportation array, open a sub-node in a region suitable for player development, and let players explore a broader world through teleportation.

By then, the speed of containing Meng Yuan Chu monsters can be improved, and it can also bring players a fresh experience.

There is another reason: resources in the Di Zha Mountain Range region are very limited.

Although the Rule Nodes can generate resources without limit, inexhaustible, the Black Tide and Insect Tide, these two devouring forces, consume resources at an extremely terrifying speed; players in the Di Zha Mountain Range region already find it very difficult to harvest spiritual plant resources.

Opening a new battlefield node is also beneficial for players to search for and utilize various new resources.

This idea was gradually perfected during the discussion with the Guide.

Shortly after, the Guide carried his consciousness out of the Di Zhao Mountain Range region and began exploring a wider world.

The Pale Continent, the Colorful Mist Coast.

In the sky, a golden wheel hung high.

The coastline was paved with continuous fine white sand, like a silver ribbon nestled against the azure sea.

The sea breeze blew, carrying the salty fragrance of the ocean across the land.

In the distance, waves rolled in layer upon layer, crashing against the beach with a rustling sound, playing a unique melody.

Seabirds soared leisurely across the sky, their wings shimmering with silver-white light under the illumination, sometimes skimming low over the sparkling sea surface, sometimes diving straight into the clouds, weaving with the blue sky and white clouds to form a magnificent picture.

But at the end of the sea, a blood-red evil moon hung suspended.

The world under the evil moon was shrouded in a dim red light, cutting the same world into two distinct scenes.

The coast was full of life.

At the end of the sea, however, night fell eternally, and the stars were hidden.

This distinct boundary line was slowly advancing toward the coast.

In the foreseeable future, the coast would be swallowed by the evil moon, becoming part of the world illuminated by it.

Qi Sheng's consciousness, guided by the Guide, swept over this area.

Spiritual resources, monsters, Meng Yuan Chu, underwater spiritual creatures... a massive amount of information flooded his mind.

The consciousness, just about to leave, stopped at this moment.

"Guide, this place seems quite good; backed by rich ocean resources, it is very suitable for player development."

【Indeed, it is good. Although the players have not mastered any water-attribute Painful Painful Minghun, I just scanned the seabed and found many underwater Meng Yuan Chu creatures. If we can capture just one, subsequent development will be much easier.】

【However, this scene has a drawback: the evil moon at the end of the sea level is approaching. It will completely shroud this area in at most three months.】

What the Guide said was exactly where Qi Sheng hesitated.

"Let's go take a look."

【Alright.】

The consciousness, guided by the Guide, flew toward the end of the sea, passing through the blood-red curtain.

The scene before his eyes made Qi Sheng frown slightly.

The sky was covered in heavy weight by thick dark clouds; occasionally, pitch-black lightning slashed across the sky, tearing through the clouds to reveal a dark red waning moon hanging high.

His gaze swept downward to a huge island in the sea; a silent and twisted landscape appeared in Qi Sheng's perception.

Decaying plants, gnawed remains, dark creatures fighting each other, tentacles breaking through the earth to grow... the island was covered in twisted and entangled corrosion cores.

Even the ocean surrounding the island was controlled by the corrosion cores generated by the evil moon; the seawater had already turned blood-red. Looking through the sea level, one could see countless underwater evil spirits circling the island and swimming rapidly.

This was an area completely occupied by the evil moon.

Moreover, the strength of the evil spirits here was far higher than in the Di Zhao Mountain Range region, with an average hunting level of 40+.

The only thing that made Qi Sheng feel relieved was that the terrifying black tide had not yet arrived.

The Guide had once explained the difference between the black tide and the evil moon to him.

Although the evil moon was part of the terrifying black tide, its pace of advance differed from that of the black tide.

One could understand the evil moon as the domain field of the terrifying black tide; whenever it invaded a world, the power of the evil moon would penetrate that world, creating a home-field advantage for the black tide, and only then would intelligent evil spirits descend to create the black tide under that home-field advantage.

This process was generally quite smooth.

All areas shrouded by the evil moon would generate a large number of corrosion cores to absorb regional energy, reserving explosive troop energy in advance for the arrival of the black tide.

In addition, the world under the evil moon would continuously generate unconscious evil spirits similar to blood corpses and cursed soldiers, attacking the life in that area to clear obstacles in advance for the arrival of the black tide.

To put it in the Guide's words: the black tide's three axes of fighting.

Step one: the evil moon shines.

Step two: evil spirits descend.

Step three: the black tide sweeps.

This is precisely the terrifying aspect of the terrifying black tide.

Ordinary living beings simply cannot dispel the evil moon; they can only watch helplessly as their region is penetrated and corroded by the power of the black tide, eventually facing the black tide led by evil spirits.

But this problem did not exist for Qi Sheng.

As long as he dispelled the corrosion cores, he had the ability to force the evil moon back.

Here, there was no terrifying black tide led by evil spirits; the evil moon alone was not to be feared, making it indeed very suitable for player development and growth.

With this idea, Qi Sheng began to plan the location for placing the spatial teleportation array.

Unlike the Di Zhao Village, which could exist independently of the Monster World and only needed to consume Shou Shou Jili to ignore external power penetration and interference, the area where the spatial teleportation array was established had to consider safety first.

Because there was a risk that the territory established by players near the spatial node would be destroyed.

That is to say, this spatial node did not have the concept of a safe zone.

Furthermore, when a player died, their soul would still return to Di Zhao Village, and they could only arrive again through teleportation.

After sweeping his consciousness around, Qi Sheng found that this area simply had no so-called safe region.

Without the protection of the territory characteristics of Di Zhao Village, it seemed to be the same everywhere.

Finally, Qi Sheng's consciousness stopped at a point 530 meters behind the coastline.

This was a natural barrier composed of dense fruit trees; the fruit trees were tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves, effectively blocking the invasion of sea breeze and rain.

Qi Sheng, far away in Di Zhao Village, switched to his Beneath Di Zhao form at this moment.

His head subsequently turned into a Xiong Xiong burning scarlet flame, and the Guide connected him to Yan Ming at this time.

Not long after, Yan Ming's voice sounded in Qi Sheng's mind:

"Leave this place to me; I will notify you once it is done."

As Yan Ming's voice rang out, a wandering deep-blue spiritual pattern emerged on the ground, outlining and stabilizing the teleportation array.

"Roughly how long will it take?"

"My current strength is too weak to complete it quickly; to accelerate, I must burn ten times the Shou Shou Jili." Yan Ming immediately gave his answer.

Hearing that quickly outlining and stabilizing the teleportation array required ten times the Shou Shou Jili, Qi Sheng decisively shook his head:

"Take your time; notify me once it is finished."

"Very well."

After issuing the task, the Guide left a projection above the array to interface with Yan Ming, then returned Qi Sheng's consciousness to the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range.

Compared to the picturesque scenery of the Colorful Mist Coast, the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range under the crescent moon appeared exceptionally gloomy and oppressive.

What could be confirmed was that the breathtaking scenery of the Colorful Mist Coast would surely attract a large number of exploration-focused players.

The geographical proximity to the sea would also make fishing-focused players yearn to go.

But to go there, one must spend money.

Once the stable teleportation array is established, it requires continuous consumption of Shou Shou Jili.

According to the Guide's calculation, the daily expenditure is roughly 3,000 points of Shou Shou Jili; the specific consumption must be recalculated after Yan Ming completes the array.

He would inevitably pass this stable expense on to the players.

As for how much Shou Shou Jili to charge per teleportation, he would consider that after the teleportation array was finished.
