Chapter 70: Reborn, Spending a Billion (Monthly Ticket Bonus)

"Old Dog, behind you!"

Hearing the call of his old comrade-in-arms, Old Dog, who was fighting with evil spirits, switched to the Black Armor Snake form without hesitation, and without looking back, swung his tail to whip away the Black Tide evil spirit attacking from behind.

Then he decisively switched back to human form, took out a dagger from his space bag, and stabbed forward after holding it in reverse.

Accompanied by a sharp screeching sound, the worm in front of Old Dog was pierced by the sharp blade, hung down powerlessly, and turned into black fog flying towards Old Dog and his comrades-in-arms.

At this time, a magic flea attacked from the side. The dagger in Old Dog's hand quickly switched to a psionic firearm and pulled the trigger. Suddenly, the patterns branded on the firearm lit up from the end and spread to the gun body.

Boom!

The muzzle burst into light, and the attacking magic flea was pierced through the body by the bullet and exploded in the air.

This set of actions was smooth and flowing, killing the three Black Tide evil spirits that attacked.

"Cleaver, I need to heal."

"Coming."

A large number of evil spirits attacked from the front. The veteran known as Cleaver came to Old Dog's front, blocking the offensive by carding the output while continuing to output.

At this time, a bottle of red potion was thrown from not far away. Old Dog jumped up and caught the potion, unscrewed the cap, and poured it into his mouth.

While his stamina recovered rapidly, Old Dog looked up at the old commander who was invincible like a god of war holding an axe in the distance, and a feeling of envy arose in his heart.

But this emotion was quickly suppressed by the fighting spirit rising from the bottom of his heart. His gaze quickly swept across the surroundings, and then he shouted to a comrade-in-arms not far to the left:

"Water Baby, 2 o'clock direction."

Hearing this, Water Baby, who was fighting, instantly switched the battle blade in his hand to a psionic firearm, and without looking up, fired a shot in the direction Old Dog prompted. Suddenly, a pitch-black figure that attacked exploded in the air, turning into several black fogs flying towards all members in the team mode.

Under tacit cooperation, the veteran group led by Old Dog fought more and more fiercely in the evil spirit group, and the fighting emotion also climbed continuously with the intensity of the battle.

All of this was seen by Qi Sheng, who was behind the scenes.

Two days ago, he issued 1227 game qualifications.

Among them, 27 spots were issued extra, given to Li Tie's 27 old comrades-in-arms.

Facts proved that this group of veterans did not let him down.

In the two days since entering the game, the veteran group only did two things.

Log on, follow Li Tie to charge and fight, fight head-on with Black Tide evil spirits, full of fighting spirit and hot-blooded passion throughout the process.

Log off, curse the resurrection cooldown mechanism set by the Moon Eclipse Clan in the chat group together, wait for the resurrection cooldown to end, the cursing stops, log on and continue to kill evil spirits.

They are like machines running without rest. Except for the resurrection cooldown time, they are either fighting or on the way to fight.

According to the data statistics of the guide, whether it is the speed of strength growth or the efficiency of killing evil spirits, this group of veterans is more than five times stronger than ordinary players.

In just two days, this group of veterans had already studied a set of squad tactics, mastered the matching use of various Soul-Core characteristic abilities, and the rapid switching and use of weapons, and the efficiency of killing evil spirits was amazing.

It can be found that this group of veterans had completely indulged in the game.

And there are three reasons for their indulgence.

The first is the restoration of missing body parts, which gave them the experience of being reborn.

That is a long-lost feeling, like a child getting their favorite toy. This is not just a physical restoration, but a rebirth of the soul.

Secondly, the emotions brought about when fighting evil spirits, under tacit cooperation, made them feel as if they had returned to the young years when they trained and grew up together.

Finally, the attribute bonus feedback brought by level improvement made them fascinated.

In reality, this group of veterans are all genetic warriors who once possessed powerful physiques, but as various sequelae such as physical aging emerged, they often need to endure pain at the physical level, and as they age, there are more and more problems with their bodies.

The physical strength enhancement brought by attribute bonuses allowed them to regain their peak state and also had expectations for further reinforcement.

Especially with the old commander Li Tie as an example in front, they all wanted to possess this kind of power that transcends the secular world.

Although this is just a game, they were all prepared to indulge their last passion in this game until they were old.

Game retirement, this teasing meme on the Internet is the true thought in the hearts of the veteran group members.

Compared to the gray real world, this game brings them a brand-new experience.

Enthusiasm, passion, friendship... the things that were once lost have all returned.

The only thing that the veteran group members could not accept was one thing, and that was the game setting they considered the most brain-dead: "resurrection cooldown."

Every return to reality is a painful torture.

It is like suddenly returning to a dark black-and-white world from a colorful world. The strong contrast is also the main reason why the elderly group curses the Moon Eclipse Clan in the group chat.

In fact, this problem is not just for the elderly group; a large number of players on the forum have also complained about it.

They believe that this setting seriously affects the game experience and is a vicious means of hunger marketing.

But Qi Sheng did not think about solving this problem for the time being.

It's not that it can't be solved, but solving it requires extra sacrificial power.

The process of flesh and blood reshaping for players is essentially the rule characteristic of the domain node "Imperial Tomb Village." 10 points of sacrificial power consumption is the starting energy to drive the operation of this rule characteristic, and the subsequent reshaping process will be completed by the rules.

To speed up the reshaping process, extra sacrificial power must be consumed.

And this process is a forced push for rule acceleration, and the sacrificial power required will be 30 times that of normal resurrection.

That is to say, forced resurrection after death requires 300 points of sacrificial power, and the consumption will be affected by the player's own strength.

The stronger the strength, the higher the consumption of forced resurrection.

This is a very expensive expenditure for players at the current stage, and it is difficult for ordinary players to bear.

Qi Sheng is also unwilling to have players spend the very precious sacrificial power in the early stage on rapid cooling, and hopes that players will spend sacrificial power on the improvement of their own strength.

This is also the reason why he did not open the "rapid resurrection" function to players.

After all, there might really be players who would choose to shorten the cooldown time in this wasteful way, and this consumption is completely a waste.

As for whether this function will be opened.

Perhaps in the future, when the player's strength is strong enough and the sacrificial power income produced in one hour is enough to cover the losses brought by the rapid resurrection cooldown, he will consider opening it to players.

Without paying too much attention to the enthusiastic fighting of the elderly group, Qi Sheng's gaze turned to other newbie player perspectives at this time.

The players recruited in this batch started at the Black Tide raging stage, and the growth methods they chose were also different from the previous batches of players.

They did not choose to mine, but faced the Black Tide directly.

Compared to the mowing mode of veteran players, newbie players chose the picking-up mode.

At this moment, another round of charging began.

The scale of the charge was about 800 people, three-quarters of whom were veteran players.

After rushing out of Imperial Tomb Village, they switched to monster forms and collided head-on with the Black Tide, while newbie players followed behind the team, looking for lone evil spirits to kill together.

During this time, the voice channel was also incomparably lively:

"These veteran players are too fierce. Killing evil spirits is like cutting melons and vegetables. We can only barely kill one evil spirit by working together. I'm exhausted."

"Look at others, a ten-meter-long big snake, rolling and shaking the earth, and look at myself, a one-meter small snake. The volume difference is too big. I'm so envious."

"Damn, the Bone Fire form is so handsome. I really want to know what it feels like to release and control ink flames. I hope to inlay the Bone Fire Soul-Core as soon as possible."

"Who can introduce which Soul-Core characteristic the purple big gun comes with? The look of holding a gun is too handsome, killing a string with one shot. Loved it, loved it."

"Why is there white mist lingering in the mouth of the brother next door every time he inhales? Is he smoking in the game? It looks like he's smoking quite fiercely. What kind of operation is this? Who can popularize it for the newbies."

……

Veteran players basically communicated in the guild voice channel or squad voice channel, and the small area voice chat channel was swiped by the exclamations of newbie players.

Having not entered the game for long, they were very curious about the things in the monster world.

From time to time, they were amazed by the eye-catching operations of veteran players and envied them. During this time, whenever a lone Black Tide evil spirit flew over, they would swarm up and launch a group fight tactic.

In contrast, the vast majority of veteran players fought hard to grind monsters throughout the process and were too lazy to pay attention to the newbies.

In the eyes of veteran players, Black Tide evil spirits are not only evolution points, but also sacrificial power, and can also be converted into currency in the real world.

The feeling of killing evil spirits and exploding gold coins made them happy, so how could they have the heart to pay attention to newbies.

Only a few enthusiastic veteran players were willing to create a team to take newbies to upgrade together, and during this time, they also taught newbie players the basic knowledge of the monster world in the team voice channel instead of the guide.

While switching perspectives constantly, Qi Sheng suddenly received feedback from the guide, and his perspective switched to the player squad in the direction of the Weapon Spirit Valley.

At this time, not far from the squad players who were fighting, scarlet streamers gathered, generating a spherical floating object.

This scene also attracted the attention of the squad members. Under their curious eyes, ripples kept appearing on the surface of the spherical floating object, and its shape also twisted and changed, finally generating a creature with two horns on its head, shaped like a small milk dog.

Its body seemed to be composed of black fog, sometimes thin like a thread, sometimes condensed into shape, very much like a Black Tide evil spirit.

At this time, it was looking at the surroundings curiously with sapphire-like eyes, and then looked up and opened its mouth to hiss:

"Yo~"

The analysis information also appeared in the minds of the squad players at this time.

[Flowing Shadow (Second-Generation Origin)]

Hunting Level: 1

Monster Introduction: A special second-generation Origin monster that controls the power of clones. It can create a clone with 20% of the body's physical strength by consuming mental energy, and can control the clone's actions through consciousness.

Guide Note: The number of clones created is affected by one's own mental energy strength. Theoretically, it can create infinite clones, provided that you have enough strong mental energy to control the consciousness and enough mental energy to maintain the clone's consumption.

……

Seeing the analysis information, the squad members suddenly widened their eyes.

The captain at the head turned his head to look at the guide clone floating beside him:

"Guide, what's the situation?"

[Except for you who inherited the Imperial Omen power, other creatures in the monster world cannot truly kill Origin monsters. Even if killed, they will follow the world operation to initialize and be reborn, appearing at random locations... Simply explained, you are very lucky to have encountered an Origin monster that was killed and reborn. Is the feeling of brushing your face very cool?]

The guide gave an explanation in a lazy tone.

Knowing the truth, the squad members looked at each other for a short time and then rushed towards the Flowing Shadow that was still looking up and calling without hesitation.

Boom!

The ink-colored fireball smashed a pit on the ground, and the Flowing Shadow was instantly killed, turning into black fog and absorbed by the nearby guide clone, then transmitted to the containment wall underground.

In Qi Sheng's perception perspective, the black fog condensed again inside the containment wall.

At this time, a blue energy hose extended from the top of the crystal wall and connected to the back of the Flowing Shadow. Suddenly, scarlet energy began to be continuously extracted from the Flowing Shadow's body and poured into the sacrificial power pool underground in Imperial Tomb Village.

At the same time, the Challenger prompt sounded on all channels;

[Challenger Prompt (All Channels): Congratulations to players: Jungle Huang Feihong, Top Laner Dong Haichuan, Mid Laner Huo Yuanjia, Bottom Laner Sun Lutang, Support Ma Yongzhen, for containing the second-generation Origin monster "Flowing Shadow," obtaining a sacrificial power reward: 20,000 (squad members share sacrificial power gains).]

[Challenger Prompt (All Channels): Soul-Core library adds Origin monster Soul-Core: Flowing Shadow (Clone)]

The prompt of successful containment made the area chat channel explode.

All players were asking about the containment process of the second-generation Origin and the difficulty of containment.

Squad captain Jungle Huang Feihong even received constant friend requests, most of which were sent by the bosses of major guilds, wanting to buy the 20,000 sacrificial power their squad obtained by killing the Origin.

The sudden wealth made the squad members a bit confused.

After blocking private chats and friend requests, Jungle Huang Feihong chose to send the analysis information of Flowing Shadow to the area chat channel and added a sentence:

"(Attachment: Flowing Shadow Analysis), brothers, don't private chat or apply for friends anymore. Our squad is not a brick-moving party, and sacrificial power is not for sale."

After seeing the analysis information of Flowing Shadow, the area chat channel suddenly wailed.

The hunting level 1 shown in the Flowing Shadow analysis information was like a bayonet stuck in the hearts of many players.

They could accept other players containing Origin monsters through difficult battles, but they could not accept the easy containment brought by dog shit luck.

"Why did I go online at this time, why did I let me see the prompt of successful containment, why did I click in to see the analysis information... Do you understand how painful I am when I am happily mowing grass?"

"(Explorer emoji - aggrieved and crying) Level 1 second-generation Origin, I can be sure that this is the initialization refresh after the Origin monster died in the guide's mouth. You really encountered it. You really deserve to die. Why can't this good luck be given to me."

"Playing games with life, right? How is this different from picking up a box of money on the road? I don't see others doing well, but you are too good. I can't accept it. Let me take two breaths to restore the mental state that was crit."

"Looked at the sacrificial power balance earned after 3 hours of struggle, and then looked at the top containment reward number, woo woo woo~ This is unfair, I want it too."

……

The wailing in the area voice channel swiped the screen, and Qi Sheng withdrew his consciousness after a short flip.

With a wave of his hand, the human body switched to the Imperial Omen form.

The head switched to burning scarlet flames, quickly climbing around the body.

With a wave of his hand, the halo symbolizing Origin power appeared, rotating around his body.

In this circle of halo, 18 small balls of different colors were adsorbed, each representing a type of Origin power.

After the players contained the second-generation Origin Flowing Shadow, his strength was improved again.

This feeling is really wonderful. He can clearly perceive that his control and application of the Imperial Omen Solid Self Origin have become more proficient, just like an instruction manual was implanted in his mind at the moment of completing the containment.

In a flash of thought, the Origin characteristic of Flowing Shadow started, and a small black ball in the light track rotating around the body burst into light. Accompanied by the consumption of energy in the body, a clone that copied the main body condensed beside him.

Simple test, Qi Sheng waved his hand to disperse the clone, and his consciousness switched to the player forum.

According to the guide's feedback, an interesting post appeared on the forum a few seconds ago.

When he saw the content of the post, he laughed dumbly.

[Shentang Guild recruits powerful players, the guild issues an extra salary every day, and the treatment is very good.]

Poster: God King

Content:

Reborn, I am ready to spend 1 billion in the game to become stronger. At first, people thought "Dark Land" was just an epoch-making virtual game, but what they didn't know was that the Black Tide in the game is about to descend into reality in 1 year. Others laugh at me for spending 1 billion as a fool, a big idiot, but only I know clearly that when the game stops serving, spiritual energy recovers, evil spirits descend, and then endless darkness covers the earth, game attributes map to reality, I... will be crowned king!

Now recruiting powerful players with high salaries, requiring Soul-Core level 15+ (single is fine), I will lead you to fight the Black Tide and ascend to the God Throne on the day the doomsday descends!

……

Comment section:

Hamster party player: Okay, I have received the inside information. Delete the post as soon as possible so they don't see it too. I will definitely seize the opportunity to become stronger. On the day the darkness descends, I will open a resource supermarket and resell resources to reality at ten times the price (Explorer party emoji - this is stable).

God Wing: Damn, the brothers of Shentang Guild are here too? Brother, are you really ready to spend 1 billion? However, sacrificial power in this game is in short supply, and you can't buy enough sacrificial power even if you have money. The resources produced by several brick-moving group players have long been booked by several guild bosses. You can't use it even if you spend 10 billion (Explorer party emoji - decadent sigh).

WosniDie: Dog Shentang, the hatred formed in the battle continues in this game. Let's see our Rice-Eating Group beat you up.

God King replied to WosniDie: Don't make trouble, our guild is all newbies who just entered the game. Please have more love and less violence. In addition, can you support a batch of sacrificial power so that old friends can develop first, and then consider the matter of fighting?

Night is Coming: You actually made such a major secret public? Then who dares to sell sacrificial power to you? It all has to be spent on strength improvement, so as not to become a weak chicken in the doomsday environment when the darkness descends. You should secretly collect sacrificial power and become stronger quietly, and amaze everyone in a year (funny.jpg).

Waste Recycling Station: Terrible, actually met a reborn person in the game. I see this news as true because I am also a reborn person. When the darkness descends, I will make a move and turn into a level 1000 Heaven-Swallowing Python to kill in the real world, so it's not a big problem.

……

The content of this post made Qi Sheng very speechless.

Through the guide's investigation, it can be confirmed that the posting player "God King" is just playing memes and joking.

But the content mentioned will become reality one day in the future.

It's just that the time point of the darkness descending is not in 1 year, and players still have plenty of growth time.

When that day really comes, he will feed back the players' abilities to reality, and the real currency system will also completely collapse. Sacrificial power will become the common currency for humans and alien players.

So converting real currency into game sacrificial power is really a very advanced investment.

But this secret, except for him and the four major dependents, no one knows.

Although the monthly ticket has not reached 1000, I will give the bonus first, a total of 37,000 words, asking for monthly tickets~
