Chapter 4, the situation has turned unfavorable
... ...
I was dumbfounded, being observed up close by such a stunning beauty, my heart, like tattered cotton, couldn't help but thump wildly. She merely smiled lightly and said, "Since it's not you, then forget it"
System prompt: Please note that the triggering conditions are not met
Not long after
"Not going, what level are you?"
[Fire Soul Corpse General] (Rare Level Boss)
I admire ... ... It seems that our Taihu Legendary Team is going to face a setback on the very first day of the launch!
... ...
I nodded
Who are you
Is it appropriate for someone at level 4 to go to the restroom?
Confirm, participate
I am completely bewildered
Introduction: The novice warrior of the Reincarnation Valley in the Black Castle possesses exceptional flame control abilities. This young adventurer, known as the Fire Soul Corpse, tends to bully the weak and fear the strong. If you believe you can defeat him, then go ahead and give it your all
My mind went blank again, what a windfall, it turned out to be high-quality equipment, the name displayed in deep green, this is just too much of a gain
... ...
Yes, Master
Defense: +15
In any case, I cannot defeat this thing, after all, its level is blood red, while mine...! ... Currently, my personal panel shows that my level is unowned. I do not know how this is set up, but at least I am definitely not a match for this Fire Soul Corpse General. When one is under a low eave, one must bow their head
Okay
Thus, I was driven by him to the front of a gigantic furnace, and I immediately felt as if I were in a sauna; it was incredibly hot around me. Looking around, I saw a group of skeletons, just like me, with expressions of bewilderment on their faces, not knowing what to do.
[Reincarnation Valley Supervisor · Zhuang Huaishui] (Rare Level Boss)
Not a penny earned, let's eat instant noodles
I just recognized my elder brother! I haven't even had the chance to enjoy the good life with him, and he has unexpectedly been crushed into a pile of dust
In the distance, a massive furnace was roaring with flames, accompanied by the crackling sounds of burning, and even the mournful wails of spirits could be heard emanating from within the furnace
She shook her head with a smile and said, "The setting of the Black Castle is unique. The current map where the master is located is called the Reincarnation Valley, which is merely one of the five pavilions outside the Black Castle, known as the Wheel and the Library of Return. The other four pavilions are called the Wind and Cloud Platform, the Treasure Pavilion, the Universe Pavilion, and the Ancient Battlefield. The master works in the Reincarnation Valley and can earn 1 point of Black Castle contribution value every hour. These contribution points can be exchanged for some precious skill books, equipment, and items in the Treasure Pavilion and the Universe Pavilion. In short, the treatment the master receives in the Black Castle is something that other players can hardly aspire to."
Special effect: Recognized as the master
I trembled all over: "Look at me now, I am utterly destitute; do you think I can achieve victory on the Fengyun Platform?"
I am once again at a loss.
In a moment of impulse, I couldn't help but kiss the bracelet, feeling utterly delighted.
Ah ha ha, I drank too much water at noon! What level are you at?
In the next moment, an interface appeared before me, and I was surprisingly able to choose my profession in advance
In the next moment, my profession was confirmed to be an assassin, albeit a deathly assassin. I will probably grow into a Shura assassin in the future, right? If that is the case, I am somewhat looking forward to it. However, if I am merely a skeletal assassin, what difference is there from being a salted fish
Introduction: The Grand Supervisor of the Black Castle Reincarnation Valley possesses immense power and should not be provoked lightly
She danced in a circle and landed on my shoulder, stretching her long snowy legs and lazily yawning, saying: "Master, the little book is on standby. Is there any issue that the little book can assist you with?"
I furrowed my brow; this is a rare-level Boss, indeed not something that players at this stage can provoke. In the setting of "Phantom Moon," the Boss levels are as follows: Elite, Rare, Rare-level, Extraordinary, Legendary, Primordial, and Abyssal. The server has just opened, and players across the entire server may not have even encountered an Elite-level Boss, let alone one of this rare level.
And in the blink of an eye, I saw the name of this middle-aged man
A grave voice echoed from afar, as a black wind coalesced into the figure of a middle-aged man. Unlike the monsters present, he was a man clad in a black robe, with a sharp and vibrant sword slung across his back. Gazing at the rift in the sky, he said: "The people from the other world have already entered the Phantom Moon Continent, and the war has begun. According to the agreement between our Black Castle and the Demon Legion, we will be responsible for a portion of the soul transformation work. All the undead in the Reincarnation Valley, begin your work around the Soul Refining Furnace!"
... ...
Since a decisive battle at the Wind and Cloud Platform is imminent, preparations must be made. In addition to the Secret Tome of Asura, I possess two inherent advantages, which are the other two items in the package
It has finally begun
I nodded: "I have triggered the hidden race and hidden profession, please tell me about this, as I currently have no idea."
Level 4
... ...
After confirming the profession, there is no place to learn skills, so let us continue with the work at the Soul Refining Furnace
... ...
Of course not
"That's not right, I clearly sensed a fleeting divine aura. Was it not you?"
Unable to remove
Hmm?
Level : ? ? ?
CNNN ah ! !
No, no, remain calm and maintain a tranquil mindset
Yes, my lord
Then, taking out the third "Creation", the Complete Achievement Manual, I attempted to trigger it, and suddenly a ringing sound swept past my ears
Outside, A Fei tapped my helmet and said, "I'm going to urinate, want to come along?"
Level : ? ? ?
I was taken aback; this is going to be difficult. What if it turns out to be a worthless item? In that case, I would never be able to remove it, and my account would essentially have an inherent disadvantage, missing a bracelet component's equipment attribute, making it inherently weaker!
Level 0
At that moment, the sound of hooves echoed from afar, and a skeletal warrior riding a ghostly steed approached, brandishing a long spear. He growled at me, "Insect, what are you still dawdling for? Our Reincarnation Valley does not accommodate idlers. Go report to the Soul Refining Furnace immediately and start working; otherwise, I will cleave your head off with a single strike of my spear!"
However, if I do not wear it, I feel reluctant, especially since the server has just launched and the forum is filled with complaints about low drop rates, with even white equipment not dropping, let alone anything else. At this time, having a bracelet with such attributes is undoubtedly advantageous. Moreover, based on my extensive gaming experience, equipment that is bound and cannot be dropped is generally of high quality.
However, there are no indications of what the conditions are, and there is nothing that can be done but to continue "moving bricks" in the Cycle Valley
OK
The little book chuckled lightly and said, "By the way, since you have already joined the Black Castle and become a member of the Undead Clan, let us confirm your growth direction. Please choose a profession!"
Thus, after moving bricks for another 2 hours, my contribution level reached 3 points
Sigh
Drip
I see...
Upon exiting the cave, I looked up and discovered that the one who had crushed the skeleton was a towering undead giant, standing a full ten meters tall. He wielded a blood-red battle axe and strode into the distance, completely ignoring the crushed skeleton, as if these small skeletons were nothing more than mere ants in his eyes
Suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to be sealed, and I found myself unable to move. Then, a stunning figure broke through the air, a woman dressed in a red long dress, with an elegant hairstyle. In an instant, she appeared before me, her beautiful eyes glancing around, her lips as red as fire. She leaned slightly, her delicate nose sniffing at my face, revealing an expression of astonishment.
Characteristic: Evolvable
... ...
Swish!
System prompt: Please note that the Fengyun Platform is about to open. Will you participate?
Dong dong ~ ~ ~
With a naive and bright smile, she said: "This is the Black Castle, a neutral zone. The Black Castle is composed of a group of the deceased, who were originally human and do not wish to be enemies with the human race. Therefore, they did not join the Demon Army, but they are unable to resist the power of the Demon Army, so they can only compromise. This Reincarnation Valley is such a place. They receive the souls of monsters killed by players, refine and reconstruct these monster souls in the Soul Refining Furnace, and create new monsters to be sent to various maps. In fact, this is a workshop for refreshing monsters, and the current task of the master is to assist in the work here.
At this moment, the sky was overcast with dark clouds. With a loud "crack," a bolt of lightning split the clouds apart, and immediately afterward, it was as if the upper world had discarded its refuse, hurling down a large pile of shattered bones and some stones that sealed away souls, forming a massive heap.
Ancient Bracelet (Exquisite Level)
I inhaled sharply and said, "Then how do I level up? How do I grow... I can't just keep transporting corpses like this, can I?"
Diligently worked for one hour
Wow ... ...
Buzzing
The broken bones on the ground, I say: "Brother, may you rest in peace..."
A group of NPCs bowed their heads in unison
Looking up, one can indeed see some data from this NPC
Gambled!
Fate plays tricks on people, this time...! ... I seem to have been born into the camp of NPC monsters...! Since that is the case... let's adapt to local customs!
At the moment the bracelet was put on, with a "ding," a deep blue ripple blossomed from the surface of the bracelet. Its ancient and worn appearance underwent a slight transformation, with fine engravings appearing on the surface, radiating a bronze-like luster, and surprisingly, attributes also emerged
On the side, the little secretary blinked and patiently explained: "The Wind and Cloud Platform is a battleground where only the most outstanding young undead from the Black Castle can stand out. Master, once one becomes the ultimate victor of the Wind and Cloud Platform, they will be qualified to be reborn as a Boss-level entity appearing in the public map, and after defeating players, they can quickly gain contribution points."
Countdown to the final battle at Fengyun Platform: 2:59:59
I possess an ancient bracelet for protection, and I fear nothing
At this moment, upon careful observation of the surroundings, outside the cave lies a vast expanse, yet everywhere is filled with a pervasive sense of death, devoid of any signs of life. Simultaneously, the figures of the deceased are visible all around; some are skeletons, while others belong to various deathly races, such as the decaying ghost wolves, the undead ironback bears, and the undead giants, all of which are in abundance.
While working, I summoned my little spirit secretary.
Thus, a group of skeletons approached, carrying the shattered corpses that had fallen from the sky and throwing them into a massive furnace known as the "Soul Refining Furnace"
Confirm, assassin
The Fire Soul Corpse General glanced at the skeleton's remains beside him, couldn't help but spit, and said fiercely: "Bah! What a worthless piece of trash, finally dead! You little brat, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
After eating instant noodles, I continued to go online. Before long, a "ding" sound rang in my ears.
Speechless
Confirm, wear!
... ...
System prompt: Congratulations, due to your hard work, you have earned 1 point of contribution!
Ding!
I chuckled, this truly is a thoughtful little secretary
... ...
System prompt: Once this item is bound, it cannot be dropped or removed. Do you wish to proceed with its use?
At that moment, a flashing notification appeared in the upper right corner of the interface with a "ding" sound
The equipment levels in Fantasy Moon are classified as follows: gray equipment and white equipment, which are the two lowest levels. Next are sturdy and fine levels, which are green-named equipment, collectively referred to as green equipment. Following that are rare and ultra-rare levels, which are blue equipment. Then come the purple rare and treasure levels, as well as the orange world-class and legendary levels of equipment. The equipment levels in Fantasy Moon are categorized by color. At this stage, with the novice village just opened, the deep blue fine equipment is practically indistinguishable from divine artifacts, and it is also evolvable, a true treasure!
Fengyun Platform
She chuckled softly and made a heart shape with her fingers towards me, saying, "In the little book's heart, Master, you are the best!"
The nine major professions of the Illusory Moon appear before us: swordsman, paladin, marksman, assassin, elemental mage, light priest, sorcerer, fist fighter, and musician. Among these, the first few are combat professions, while the sorcerer is a hybrid of combat and support, and the musician leans towards being entirely supportive. As for the choice, there is no doubt; it remains my old profession.
However, does this three-hour countdown mean that the respawn countdown for the first B0SS in the novice village is 3 hours? This is indeed very likely
What shall we have for dinner tonight
Strength: +9
As I took out the pitch-black bracelet, at the very moment of confirming its wear, a ringing sound echoed in my ears
Ding!
I was taken aback; why is this bird so fierce
However, mere contribution is not enough; I also need levels
Having just spoken, she turned and left, her figure transforming into a fleeting shadow that vanished into the wind, leaving no trace behind! Moreover, throughout the entire encounter, I could not see her name, level, or attributes, indicating that her origins must be quite extraordinary!
