Chapter 70 Exchange of Interests(2/3)
"To be precise, it should be Nike Victoria, the goddess of victory."
"You want to give her to me as a reward?" I began to feel a little unbelievable. Because of Ditans' stinginess, it would be a miracle not to bargain with you. How could you take advantage of him? In theory, my help is not worth the value of the goddess of victory. Ditans will never do this transaction that is obviously at a disadvantage unless there are some hidden stories in it.
Ditans may have seen my guess, so he further stated. "Don't worry, I really plan to use her as a reward. It seems that revealing that little information is just a very simple thing, but this matter means a lot to me. So I don't suffer any loss when I give such a generous reward."
I looked at Ditans with confusion and said, "Then I'd rather obey my destiny!" Although I suspected that there was a trap here, it was a bit unbearable to put such a big cake like Goddess of Victory, and I couldn't help it if I didn't touch it! The so-called humans die for money and birds die for food. Even though I knew there was a problem here, I decided to eat the bait first.
With the help of Ditans, I quickly made Victoria recognize the master successfully, and then I didn't rush to check the attributes. Anyway, she couldn't escape. It's more important to talk about the main business first. Ditans talked to Ditans about the plan of the siege of our guild. After hearing this, Ditans naturally stretched out two fingers. "Give me two opportunities to use the Ring of the Precepts, and I will help you solve the problems in Europe."
I thought for a moment and then said, "One chance, you will give another condition."
Ditans thought for a long time and finally shook his head and said, "Two opportunities, I will send you another special troops of 1,000 people to ensure you are satisfied."
"Let me see what kind of team it is."
"Come with me."
Ditans took me to an underground barracks, and then the messenger brought out a very strange unit from it.
"What is this? A bunch of refugees who fled?" I was completely stunned when I looked at the large group of people in rags in front of me.
Ditans was also stunned by the scene in front of him. However, he quickly recovered and shouted at the people: "What are you doing? Restore it quickly!"
Just as Ditans scolded, the thousand old, weak and sick suddenly stood straight. Although their clothes were still tattered, their temperament immediately became fresh. After the entire team was completed, the entire team began to slowly deform, and it looked like melted liquid was reshaping its appearance. Soon a thousand "refugees" turned into a thousand almost translucent ghost mages.
"Is this the ghost force?"
"The correct statement should be the Phantom Mage Group." Ditans pointed to the ghost mage ahead and introduced to me. "As you can see, these ghost mages all have the ability to simulate illusions, and for some special reasons, their simulations can be said to be flawless."
"There is no flaw? Any illusion is flawed, unless... they are not using the Transformation Curse, right?"
"Strictly speaking, it's not considered a transformation spell. However, its functions are similar. In fact, this army was born in an accident. Since then, they have the ability to transform various creatures, and their transformation creatures can maintain their physical state, which means they can transform into warriors."
"But they are still mages after all, so what can they do if they transform into warriors? Can they still fight against the enemy like real warriors?"
"In fact, we can." The ghost wizard who led the lead stood up and said.
"Can you really fight like a warrior?"
"Yes, but when we become some kind of creature or individual, we can only use the ability of this individual and lose our original ability. For example, if I choose to transform into a thunder eagle, then I can have all the thunder eagle abilities. But at the same time, I also lose the ability as a mage, but when I transform back into a mage form, I can use the ability of a mage again."
"Then if you transform into a giant dragon, don't you have the combat power like a giant dragon?"
"This needs to be explained." The mage said seriously: "Although we can change into any creature, the rules of this world will not change, that is, we cannot gain power as we wish. It is as if I transform into the image of Lord Ditans, I cannot gain power like Lord Ditans. Moreover, I cannot change the form at will without restraint. This requires a complete understanding of the target object. I need to understand all the characteristics of a creature to become them, otherwise it will be useless."
"But at least you can become some common creatures, right?"
"certainly."
Before the mage could continue, I said first: "Then I understand that your advantage lies in your combat power. But that lies in your environment, you can turn yourself into a creature that is most suitable for this environment, that is, no matter who you fight, you can turn yourself into a creature that restrains the opponent's abilities or is particularly adapted to the battlefield. This makes your adaptability and combat power have a greater effect than normal value. For example, ordinary ghosts are afraid of light magic, while you can completely turn yourself into any creature that is not afraid of light magic. In this process, your combat power has not changed, but because of the restraint of attributes, the combat effectiveness has actually improved."
Actually, I can understand that these have a certain relationship with my more magic pets. Gun God and Ghost Nobunaga often complain that I am always restrained from fighting with me no matter where they fight. This is actually because my magic pet has various attributes and I can always find magic pets suitable for the environment to fight. For example, if you are on land, Adina, as a mermaid princess, can only be used as a blood-replenishing nurse. But after getting into the water, her combat power can even reach my front-line combat magic pets. This is the credit for the terrain bonus and attribute restraint. If I can have a ever-changing army that can change shapes, it means that they can always suppress the enemy. However, no matter how satisfied you are, the bargaining still has to be done the same. I won’t mind getting some more benefits.
"Ditans, although I am quite satisfied with your army, you also know that helping you get the permission to use the ring of precepts is not a simple matter, so I will suffer a lot. You can compensate for something!"
Ditans may also think that the Ring of Precepts is indeed not a simple thing to use, so he did not reduce the price in the end. "Then it! In addition to this Phantom Magic Group, how about I help you become a shadow substitute for a hundred people?"
"What is a shadow substitute?" Although I am also a dark main player, I still don't know much as the dark main god, so I don't know this shadow substitute, but I can roughly guess the purpose of this ability based on the name.
Ditans explained to me: "The shadow substitute is actually using his own shadow to make a shadow warrior."
"You mean let my shadow come out to fight?"
"It is to let your shadow participate in the battle. But it is not to attack the opponent's body, but to attack the opponent's shadow."
"Attack the shadow?"
"It means that when you fight, you can let your shadow leave your body and go out to fight alone, and then your shadow will attack the enemy's shadow. When the enemy's shadow is attacked by your shadow, his body will be damaged equally. This kind of attack has several benefits. First, it is useless for others to attack your shadow. That is to say, you just need to worry about your body, and your shadow will never die in front of you. Second, the behavior of your shadow and your shadow are separated. But the enemy's shadow and the body are synchronized. When the opponent attacks you and your shadow, you must make every move accurately dodge the attack on both sides at the same time, otherwise it will be the same no matter which side of the attack is the same. Third, the shadow does not have defense, so if an enemy that you cannot break the defense appears, you can let your shadow deal with him, and the damage output will be very stable."
"It's really useful to come here. But let's discuss it, how about you help me with two hundred shadow stand-in?"
Ditans thought for a moment and nodded. "Two hundred shadow stand-in transformations plus this help and the Phantom Mage Group that I just sent you, I have no problem with using the Ring of the Precepts. Where are you?"
"make a deal."
“Happy cooperation.”
After the transaction was concluded, Ditans and I briefly explained the specific way to deal with the matter. In fact, there was nothing to do with Ditans. The French and the British planned to jointly attack the Ashufud Metro Crusade and then forced us to send troops to reinforce to achieve the goal of mobilizing our guild's troops. However, because we knew the content of the plan in advance, it was definitely impossible to mobilize troops. The only thing we have to worry about is whether Ashufud's Iron Cross City can block the attack of the British and French coalition forces, and the Dark Temple seems to me nothing more than insurance. Even if Ditans does not bring the large troops to help the war, even if it is some hints, it is enough for him to release news that he wants to publicly help us with the British and French coalition forces.
After the plan was made, I bid farewell to Ditans and left the Dark Temple. Of course, I had to bring the mage who came to change his post with me. When I walked out of the temple, I found that the person was waiting for me there. "Ah. I'm so sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I just came out too." The mage mm handed me a scroll: "This...!"
I opened it and looked at it. It turned out to be a job transfer task. Generally speaking, a double-professional transfer only needs to do tasks before getting a double-professional license. If you get the task again while delivering the license, it means you may enter the dangerous game mode. The second job transfer task is a kind of thing that both love and hate for most players who have a second-professional license, because getting it means you may get two extreme results. If you are bad and fail to complete the task, the result is that you will lose the second-professional transfer license. That is to say, you have become a normal single-professional player.
Player. But if you pass by luck, then congratulations. You can not only get the second career transfer that others dream of, but also activate the professional evolution function. For example, you get a full career license and then choose a black mage profession to change jobs. If you receive a second job transfer task when you change jobs, after completion, you will not only get the black mage profession, but also cause the black mage profession to automatically evolve to the next level, turning into a stronger black mage branch special profession. Moreover, these special professions are usually those that players with only one profession cannot change jobs no matter what.
After reading the scroll, I handed the scroll back to the mage mm and patted her on the shoulder. "Congratulations, you're in a tenth chance!"
When the mage mm heard my answer, he looked at me confused. "Is this... a good thing to get such a task?"
The warrior mm, who was with the mage mm, also asked curiously: "Don't the scroll say that if the mission fails, you will lose the opportunity to change jobs? Why do you say it's a good thing?"
I explained to them with a smile. "If you received such a task alone, you would be trying your luck. It would not be bad. But don't forget. I still have me around you." Seeing that they still don't understand, I had to continue explaining: "You should have discovered that you have been in the game for so long. The task of "Zero" was not in vain. Completing tasks means rewards, so getting tasks on the premise of ensuring completion of tasks is equivalent to getting rewards. Now you get the land is a very important task that is very critical to you, that is, you have obtained a chance to get a super reward. If you complete this task alone, it can be said that the outcome is mixed, but I can help you do the task together. What are the chances of failure to complete a task of your level with my combat power?"
If anyone doesn't understand it now, it's an idiot. Since I have become the number one in the world's combat power list, it means that my combat power has reached the peak state among players. I was not there when the mage mm took over the task, so the difficulty of this task is calculated based on her own strength. But now I will help her complete it, which is equivalent to giving the middle school students' exam papers to the college students to do. Although it is not guaranteed that the questions are correct, there will definitely be no problem passing the exam.
"Then please President Zi Ri for help!"
"No problem, let's go to the mission together." After saying that, I remembered something and looked at the remaining six people again, and then asked, "You can't be the worst combat power among you seven, right?"
"The worst?" The mage mm said proudly: "No one among them except Sister Di, is better than me."
After listening to it, I shook my head helplessly at the rest of the people. "That seems that there are some troublesome problems here!"
"What's wrong?" the female soldier who led the team looked at me in confusion and asked.
I asked back, "Have you ever paid attention to the tasks you did before?"
"What should I pay attention to?"
"Task difficulty!" I saw them all staring at me stupidly and I had to explain it to them. "Generally speaking, the difficulty of a task includes two parts: basic difficulty and task multiple. The basic difficulty is generally determined by the strength of the person who takes over the task. The actual difficulty of the task is determined by the number of participants and the basic difficulty. For example, if a player's combat power is 100, then the basic difficulty of the task after he receives the task is 100. At this time, if he finds two more people to help, the task becomes three people.
So the difficulty of the task will be 100 by 3. That is 300. However, the companions invited by this player cannot be exactly the same as their own combat power, which will affect the actual difficulty. If the two people you invite are 150, then the combat power of the three of you is actually 400, and the task is still 300. This makes the task much easier. But if you invite two people to fight only 50, the sum of the three people is only 200, but the task is still 300, which is equivalent to invisibly increasing the difficulty of the task."
When I heard this, the female warrior asked immediately: "What you mean is that this mission is best for you and me to participate in the battle power of Fire Rabbit. No one else should join, right?"
To be honest, the name of the game of the wizard mm is really special. It is called Flame Rabbit, but her companions call her Fire Rabbit. After hearing the female warrior's words, I did not answer positively, but said: "It is up to you to discuss whether to participate or not. I just give you a suggestion. According to the calculation of resource maximization, it is best not to bring people with lower combat power than Flame Rabbit, otherwise the overall difficulty will be increased in vain. If it is a general task, it will be fine, but this task is related to the future development of Flame Rabbit, so you'd better be cautious."
"Then we won't participate." The druid in the team said first: "This will affect the future development of Fire Rabbit."
After hearing him say it, I looked at the others, but what disappointed me was that those people didn't say anything. The meaning was obvious, and they had no intention of quitting. The flame rabbit had to smooth things over and say that bringing more people can cooperate with each other, which may not necessarily reduce the chance of winning. I could only shake my head helplessly and handed the druid a badge.
"What does it mean?" Druid asked in confusion as he looked at me.
"You're qualified."
"Hmm? Why did he pass?" Others obviously didn't understand why Druid passed.
"Because he is the only one who is willing to give up for his friends." I said it very directly and hurtful. But I don't care. Anyway, we don't have a good chance of meeting in the future, so I'm not afraid that they will hate me. "You guys are not suitable for the environment of our guild. I suggest you should keep the status quo and level up by yourself."
"You mean we were eliminated?" asked the female warrior.
I shook my head and pointed to the druid. "He is qualified, you still need to be examined. The flame rabbit should be fine. As for everyone else, I said on the way that my assessment may not necessarily depend on your combat effectiveness. What I am examining your comprehensive quality. Fighting ability is a very important aspect, but personality and developmental degree are also very important. The reason why he is qualified is because he is willing to quit for others, so even if his strength is poor, he will not drag him down. Even if players like this are lower in the level when joining the club, we can come up after a few times. On the contrary, your personality and way of handling things have formed their own habits. It is difficult to change!"
The few people who were eliminated by me said this obviously had a little trouble on their faces, but they all knew each other in reality, so it was not easy to break up on the spot. However, these guys became very dissatisfied with my expression. Finally, they discussed with the female warrior and left without even calling him.
The female warrior walked back to me after those people left. "Are you talking too direct?"
"I'm not familiar with them. Why should I be tactful?"
"But……!"
"My personal habit is not to waste even a little effort in unnecessary places. In addition, are you asking me? It seems that you haven't passed the assessment yet?"
"But we are friends after all..." The female warrior looked at the direction where her friend was going with some depression.
I suddenly laughed and took out another badge from my arms. "You are qualified too. But you should not participate in the Flame Rabbit mission. Although you have a higher combat power than her, if I am here, we will only take advantage of the two of us. You should go and comfort your friends! Remember to report it back. If there is that badge, the guards will not stop you." After that, I pulled the Flame Rabbit and started walking towards the teleportation array outside the temple. "Hurry up, your mission has time limits, and I am very busy. Our guild will soon start a war with the RB and the British and French coalition forces. If I can't finish this task today, I don't have time to do it for you."
The flame rabbit obviously wanted to comfort his companions, but considering that this task was indeed very important, I had to let me run out.
I wanted to ask: "Where are we going?" The flame rabbit was pulled into the teleportation array by me and then remembered that the mission scroll did not seem to be mentioned.
I started the teleportation array and said, "Go to Eternal Night Castle."
"Eternal Night Castle? Where is it?"
"France."
"France? How do you know that my mission is going to be done there? It seems that nothing is written on the scroll?"
"I said you don't usually do tasks?" I was curious that she didn't even look at the mission scroll.
The flame rabbit explained embarrassedly: "Often the tasks in our team are analyzed by Sister Di, so I never read the scroll."
"No wonder! Now teach you once and remember it yourself. There is no mission location on your scroll, so there are only two possibilities. The first is that your mission does not limit the location. For example, there is a task in the novice village to collect wood, so such a task does not require a location. Because it is the same wherever you collect it. Another possibility is that your mission content mentions the relevant information about the mission location. It just doesn't say it explicitly. For example, a friend of mine once took over a task that asked her to eliminate the evil wizard Custer, and there is no location for this task. But Custer also has no location.
It's an NPC, and the location is fixed. Just inquire and you can get specific information. You don't have to write it on the scroll at all. Your mission content is to get the recognition of the necromancer, which is the first situation. So you just need to find a place where there is a necromancer. Then because you carry such a task, those necromancers who should have fought with you will become communicating with you. I guess the necromancers may ask you to do something for him at that time, and then if you succeed, he will recognize you and you will pass."
"Oh, it turns out that there is so much knowledge to do tasks! I thought it would be as easy as looking at the scroll as looking at the catalog in the library!"
"Don't think of Zero as such a simple game. Although there are simple directory tasks here, they are all regular tasks. Those special or very important tasks will definitely not prompt the location of the task. Some tasks do not even tell you the final goal. They all depend on you to search for it yourself like a guessing fan!"
"Then why should we go to the Eternal Night Castle in France to find the Necromancer? Is there no Necromancer in Germany?"
To be continued...
