Chapter 9 Choosing a Sideline
The biggest contribution of this boss is to drop the book "Summoning the Dark Raptor". If Zhu Yan sells it, he will probably bid for ten gold coins, and someone will rush to ask for it. The advanced skills are 30% higher than ordinary skills, and a skill will be given randomly. At the same level, players who use advanced skills can easily defeat players who can only use ordinary skills even if their level is average.
Summon the Dark Raptor!
Zhu Yan waved his hand and a white light flashed. A huge eagle appeared in mid-air. It was larger than that of three or four crows. Its wings were stretched out, nearly one meter in length, with bright eyes, black feathers shining with oil, and its claws were like steel cast iron, flashing with cold light, and its whole body exuded a faint black aura, looking powerful and tall, very stylish.
"Name: Dark Raptor (summoned); Attribute: This is a dark raptor who completely obeys your command. The raptor is also fierce and is the overlord flying in the sky. Features: taunt, dodge, attack.
"This is the summoning object in my mind!" Zhu Yan nodded with satisfaction and said to himself.
The Dark Raptor completely inherits the characteristics of the Dark Crow, and also has an additional attack characteristic. At the same time, the Dark Raptor also has a skill that is detonated from high altitude. It can cause 28-35 points of physical damage to the target, causing the target to fall into a coma for 1.5 seconds and cool down for 10 seconds.
This skill can be controlled by Zhu Yan. As long as the Dark Raptor is not killed, this skill is no different from Zhu Yan's own acquisition.
After putting the items dropped by the Goblin Warriors into the package, Zhu Yan quickly left here. The resurrection site near the Black Mist Forest is only five or six minutes away from here. If you still stay here, those three people will probably come back to take revenge. Zhu Yan killed three players and could only rely on sneak attacks. The main attack force was still the elite boss. If you fight head-on, even if your skills are enhanced, you cannot be the opponent of the three opponents.
After changing direction, Zhu Yan continued to come to the Gobi Desert to clean up desert sandworms, and his level was increased by one level. He also had an advanced skill to summon the dark bird of prey. The sandworms now did not cause much damage to Zhu Yan. Moreover, the dark bird of prey could catch the fat sandworms and fly into the air. The sandworm's escape skill was naturally broken. In the end, he could only leave a few copper coins and turn them into a corpse.
Before I knew it, I had been fighting for an afternoon. It was already late. The afterglow of the sunset spread on the Gobi Desert, and it was red, covering everyone's body with a layer of red glow.
Night is coming, and when it comes to darkness, players' vision will become very small, monsters in the wild will become particularly cruel, and their attack power will be greatly improved. Therefore, fighting monsters at night is not a good choice to upgrade.
While the sun had not set yet, Zhu Yan returned to the town.
"Hello, dear sir!"
Once back to the town, Zhu Yan saw that the little girl Virginia had already been waiting at the gate of the town.
"It turns out to be Virginia. Hello, what are you doing here?" Zhu Yan asked curiously.
Could it be that there are follow-up tasks? Zhu Yan was looking forward to it. In the Lost Continent, there are many tasks that are simple at the beginning, but they can extend a series of other tasks. This kind of task will be made into a task chain by the player, and the final prize will be very generous;
"Dear sir, I'm waiting for you to come back here. In the afternoon, I baked some small bread. I kept the best piece of it and wanted to give it to you!" Virginia's face turned slightly red, and she took out her hands from behind, holding a piece of black small bread in her palm.
"Name: Low quality bread (grey)
Use effect: Restore life by 3 points
How to use: Eat it.”
It is still a gray low-quality bread, but the effect of use has changed.
Zhu Yan's face turned slightly red, and he just helped a little. Unexpectedly, this NPC girl gave her gifts one after another, but she only wanted to get some tasks from her, which made Zhu Yan a little ashamed;
"This, I'm really sorry for asking you to give me a gift!" Zhu Yan said with a slightly red face and scratched his head.
"Dear sir, are you unwilling to be friends with Little Virginia?" The little girl suddenly burst into tears in her eyes and looked at Zhu Yan with water.
"Be friends?" Zhu Yan was stunned, remembering the prompts given by the system when he returned the small bread to Virginia.
"System: Virginia accepts your gift, your intimacy with her increases by 30 points, and you gain Virginia friendship."
"Getting friendship means being friends with NPCs, so that's it!" Zhu Yan suddenly realized.
"Of course I am willing to be friends with Virginia. Aren't we friends now?" Zhu Yan said with a smile on his face.
"Little Virginia has no other friends in the town of Sosk. The happiest thing every day is to learn how to make delicious bread with Aunt Mary. I want to share the best bread I make every time with my best friend. Dear sir, as the only friend of Little Virginia, are you willing to share my happiness?" the little girl said with tears in her eyes.
"This, okay, this is my honor. I am willing to eat the bread you made in Virginia every day!" Zhu Yan nodded and said.
"So, dear sir, please try the bread I made this time to see if my craftsmanship has improved a bit?" Virginia said with the small bread in her palm forward.
"Okay, thank you Virginia." Zhu Yan took the black bread and swallowed it in one bite.
"It's delicious, Virginia, the small bread you made tastes good!" Zhu Yan nodded and said.
"Thank you, sir, just like you. Virginia will definitely become a qualified baker." Virginia seemed very excited and said happily.
System: You ate a small bread made in Virginia and praised her, and your intimacy with her increased by 10 points.
Seeing Zhu Yan finishing the bread, Virginia saluted him and ran away happily.
Zhu Yan looked at the little girl's figure running farther and farther away, scratched her head, and there was a warm feeling in her heart;
After savoring it for a long time, Zhu Yan found a safe place to go offline in the town.
The supper has been delivered, but it still looks good and smells very good, but it tastes no different from chewing dry wood in your mouth.
"What's the thing? It's not as delicious as the bread made by the NPC girl!" Zhu Yan secretly complained, but after eating Virginia's small bread twice, Zhu Yan's appetite was obviously nourished.
"Silly dog, have you searched for something?" Zhu Yan asked to the toy dog while swallowing dinner hard.
"Didi, the stupid dog has completed the task assigned by his owner. After searching the official websites on the Internet and various forums, the stupid dog has selected the fastest upgrade route for the dark druids of the dark elf race. Level 1 to 3, kill the desert lizard rat on the Gobi in the east of the birthplace of Sosk Town, level 4 to 5, kill the goblin race in the mist forest in the southwest of Sosk Town. Level 5 can enter the abandoned mine copy next to the mist forest, where you can always brush to level 8..."
"Wait, what did you say? There is an abandoned mine next to the Mist Forest, and it is a copy? Silly dog, mark the specific location of the abandoned mine!" Zhu Yan quickly interrupted.
"Yes, Master!"
The silly dog's eyes emitted red rays, forming a screen in front of Zhuyan, showing a map near the official town of Sosk, in which there is a flashing dot in a place next to the foggy forest.
The map in the game is not fully opened, shrouded in fog. Only places you pass by personally will expand the map. Zhu Yan’s map only expands a small part of the Gobi and Mist Forest near the small town of Sosk, and the rest are dark.
"I'm not bad, so it's so close!" Zhu Yan carefully looked at the specific location of the abandoned mine and slapped his head and said.
You just need to go to the left with a maximum of 100 meters at the place where you kill the Goblin Warriors, and you will be the abandoned mine.
"Silly Dog, does that dungeon have to level 5 to enter?" Zhu Yan asked.
"The dungeon is divided into three difficulties: ordinary, difficult, and nightmare. The abandoned mine is a five-person dungeon. The average difficulty entry limit is the lowest level three, the difficulty level five, and the nightmare difficulty level seven." said the stupid dog.
"Five-person dungeons, do I still need to find a team to enter?" Zhu Yan said with a frown.
"No need, master, if it is just an ordinary copy, you can enter it alone. However, if it is a person, it is recommended that the master enter the abandoned mine of ordinary difficulty at level 5." said the stupid dog.
"After level 8, it is recommended that the master team enter the abandoned mine with difficulty. Not only will it upgrade quickly, but it also has the opportunity to explode high-quality equipment! After level 10, you can go to the Dark Elf Main City, Tedacia." The stupid dog continued.
"Okay, Level 10 is still a very distant thing. Let's talk about the next thing later. After all, many information has not been published yet. At that time, there may be a better upgrade route! Also, how to make money quickly, have you searched for it?" Zhu Yan asked.
"After the search, according to the owner's current level, the best way to make money is to learn side jobs. In the Lost Continent, each player can learn two side jobs, including herb collection, skinning, mining, logging, forging, tailoring, enchanting, etc. The side jobs are divided into two types, collection system and production system. It is recommended to choose a collection system and corresponding production system, such as herb collection and alchemy, skinning and skin making, etc.," said the stupid dog.
"Side job, this is pretty good." Zhu Yan nodded and said.
"According to the profession of the druid, it is recommended that the owner choose to peel and make skin!" said the silly dog.
"What side job is the most profitable?" Zhu Yan asked suddenly.
"According to analysis, more than 79% of people believe that the most profitable side job is enchantment," said the stupid dog.
