Abnormal paradise

Returning to the real island after a long absence, Yi Yan found that there were almost no changes here. The hilly white tower standing in the center of the island was still the same, and new players were still everywhere.

The continuous flow of fresh blood has made the player base of "Abnormal Paradise" grow stronger, and has also made Ember's pillar industry, beverage retail, ever more popular. The sales lasted for nearly a week, bringing him more than 100,000 yuan. Credit income, and a piece of recycled and synthesized [Basic Level Abnormal Alloy].

Ember, who has already planned to completely upgrade his equipment, naturally cannot use basic-level strengthening materials. However, the extraordinary effect of this thing makes it very popular among newcomers, so there is no need to worry about sales. In order to make it easier for him to buy a treat drink, Yan Yan temporarily closed the business for ten minutes under the guise of "store maintenance", but unfortunately, he only got a bottle of black canned drink with explosive effect after twenty purchase opportunities. .

"Who should I give this to?"

Yi Yan bared his teeth and was a little confused. When he opened the door of the store again, he found the dark servant who was specially connected with him standing outside.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ember, on your safe return." The Dark Knight bowed his head with a very humble attitude. He saw that the new players around him were swaying. They didn't know when they would become like Ember, making the game characters act arrogant and respectful. realm.

"It's not easy to forget me." Yu Yan smiled playfully.

"It is an honor for me to work for Lord Ember. How dare I forget your existence?"

The dark servant was frightened and his body was even humbler, but deep in his heart there was all kinds of resentment. When he first knew that Ember might be kicked out of the foundation, he was actually a little excited. After all, the relationship between the two was really not harmonious, even though they had to become ants on the same rope due to external pressure from the Mapleblood family. Grasshopper, but the Dark Lord would rather let another grasshopper take the place of someone else than bow down to Ember, the "initiator".

However, before he could be happy for a few days, news came that Ember had been released and had regained the trust of the Shadow Lady. The Dark Knight, who was about to fall to other followers, had no choice but to give up his illusions and come to her door.

"How long will it take for me to resolve the curse?" The Dark Knight felt that the future was dark, unable to resolve Walter White's blood curse, which made him live in uneasiness every day, watching each and every one of them. The members of the Maple Blood Tribe got the favor of the Shadow Lady and then got rid of the shackles of death, making the dark servants envious. Only by choosing to hug Ember's thigh as much as possible can they get the Shadow Lady to ignore the past grudges.

"Okay, without further ado, I hope to see the person in charge of the Foundation's No. 19 Hidden Facility as soon as possible. You should know what to do."

"I'll contact you right now."

Watching the dark servant hurriedly leave, Yi Yan started painting in the shop as usual, and took some orders to make up for the shortage of materials from the leader of Mantis. Don't look at the final reward of 60,000 credits in Gold Rush Town, but the cost of Ember is also staggering. The cost of three Mantis leader cards alone is a high figure, not to mention the continuous jump that is used extensively. Fortunately, Ember can Enjoy discounts and buy painting materials at low prices, otherwise you would not be able to support such a luxurious fighting method.

And as he was about to complete his routine pen practice, the Dark Knight also got in touch with the old tailor, and then Ember once again entered the office through projection.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

As soon as they met, Yi Yan heard his immediate boss burst into hearty laughter. The old tailor wiped his monocle with a piece of silk handkerchief and nodded to Yi Yan with a smile: "Young man, you did a great job, you can do it so quickly. It is not easy to get the Listening Conch. I hope you can keep up your efforts and get the Incarnation Stone as soon as possible, so that the old guys of the Wasteland Group know how arrogant they are about Haikou when they boasted about it before! Oh, what about the Incarnation Stone? The stone was specially prepared for their fire seeds, but in the end, didn’t it fall into the hands of our foundation?”

"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary." Yi Yan acted very modestly.

"You don't need to be humble. This joint operation in Gold Rush Town only contains a dozen fairy tale props. Being able to get one of them in such a short period of time proves your ability."

The old tailor was very dissatisfied with the failure to wipe out the Wasteland Group's Ember Plan, so he did not hesitate to praise Ember: "In addition, you successfully uncovered the hidden mission about the Listening Conch, which also contributed to your [level promotion] 】Make a note of it carefully. At least [professional level] will not be a stumbling block for your promotion to [senior investigator]. As for the remaining two items [performance appraisal] and [professional skills], they must be It’s not difficult for you.”

[Tip: To break the shackles of the third level, you need to upgrade "Junior Investigator" to "Senior Investigator" in advance. The conditions for promotion are as follows...]

Yi Yan glanced at the relevant content and found that becoming a senior investigator was actually quite difficult. First of all, performance evaluation requires that the task success rate reaches a certain level, otherwise the advanced rewards will be reduced, and the other professional skill is a rigid requirement for the quantity, quality and type of skills. If nothing else, if you want to get it in this column To get the highest rating, you need to have a powerful skill rated "Essence".

There are only two Embers with this skill, one is the devil incarnation and the other is the pyromaniac.

Although this allows Ember to not worry about quality requirements, it still lacks a large number of detection, resistance and counterattack skills, which will inevitably put a little more pressure on him to improve in the future.

"Let's do it step by step." Yu Yan thought to himself.

"The purpose of your visit this time should be for the equipment update and the follow-up development of Pyromaniac, right?" The old tailor hit the nail on the head and turned to the person in charge of the control center next to him, "Considering your personality, you will not choose Mediocre, so the few options we have prepared for you are all abnormal equipment with good effects. As for the development materials for pyromaniacs, the only thing you lack is one fire item. Regarding this item, I suggest you go Search carefully in Gold Rush Town. If you really don't find what you like, you can come back to me when the time comes."

When Ember reaches level 27 (modified), he can unlock the second active effect of pyromaniac [Reserved Self-destruction]. According to the development plan previously provided by the old tailor, Ember needs to prepare a bottle of improved third-level evolution reagent. One item with the property "Soft" and one with the property "Fire".

The first two are not difficult to get, because Ember has already obtained a bottle of improved reagent from Tiger Fuji. In addition, the active software biochemical suit has been strengthened by the special effects of the abnormal alloy. It only needs to use the upgrade coupon to upgrade to the second level. Development requirements, and for the final fire item, Ember didn't have much clue, so he wanted to get some guarantees from the old tailor.

Then, the person in charge of the control center showed Ember the equipment interface expressionlessly, and without any hesitation, he chose the abnormal suit developed with the abnormal project [Crow-Faced Plague Doctor].

The reason why Ember is so straightforward is first of all because he already possesses the abnormal token [Crow-faced Plague Doctor's Mercy], which can reduce some of the pressure to obtain it, and secondly, the abnormal equipment [Pandemic Doctor's Black Robe] and [Pandemic Doctor's Bone Claws] The special effects of the equipment are really to his liking.

…

[Epidemic Doctor Black Robe] (Ultra light/Level 3 abnormal equipment)

Equipment quality: perfect

Defense level: Strong (50)

Equipment special effect 1: Displacement (your movement speed increases by 10%, physical strength consumption decreases by 10%)

Equipment special effect 2: Shadow change (the damage of the first physical attack you receive is reduced by 40%, and the cooling time is 20 seconds)

Equipment special effect three: Crow Feather (your airborne time is extended, you can glide a certain distance in the air)

Enhanced special effects: none

Requirements: Strength level eleven, agility level ten

Introduction: The design inspiration of this armor comes from the abnormal project "Crow Faced Epidemic Doctor". The old tailor specially collected the materials of the epidemic doctor to make it for you.

[It is indeed not easy to make such low-end armor using the materials of the Crow-faced Plague Doctor. I agree with the "craftsman" - old tailor]

[The Crow-Faced Plague Doctor's Set 2/4, the token "The Crow-Faced Plague Doctor's Mercy" will gain a certain effect bonus. 】

…

"The third-level armor is indeed much stronger than the basic armor. There are three abnormal special effects alone. Even the Crow Feather, which seems to be the most useless, can actually help me enrich my tactics."

Ember is especially satisfied with the special effect of [Transformation]. After the battle with Nina, he pays more and more attention to movement speed. In addition, reducing physical consumption is a rare and practical gain. As for the special effect of [Shadow], it can improve his The survivability, although the mechanism of action is not as good as software splitting, but by the same token, with this 40% damage reduction, Ember may be able to avoid losing its life.

So, Yi Jin immediately used the third-level equipment exchange coupon to exchange for the black robe of the epidemic doctor, and then he took the gold mining stone in exchange for another abnormal weapon [the bone claw of the epidemic doctor].

…

[Epidemic Doctor Bone Claw] (ultra-light/third-level abnormal equipment)

Equipment quality: perfect

Attack level: Strong (50)

Equipment special effect 1: Displacement (movement speed increased by 10%, physical consumption reduced by 10%)

Equipment special effect 2: Bone Claw (the damage of fist and palm skill abilities is increased by 20%)

Equipment special effect three: blood drain (10% of the damage caused by using this equipment can be converted into life replenishment)

Enhanced special effects: none

Requirements: Strength level eleven, agility level ten

Introduction: The bone claws of the Crow-Faced Plague Doctor are as hard as steel, but the weight is much lower than conventional materials. Moreover, this weapon is endowed with the strange characteristics of the Crow-Faced Plague Doctor, allowing you to continuously use it during battle. Gain life force from your opponent.

[Although the old tailor agreed with me, I still hated him for giving me such troublesome work - craftsman]

[The Crow-Faced Plague Doctor's set is 3/4, and the token "The Crow-Faced Plague Doctor's Mercy" will gain a certain effect bonus. 】

…

There is actually nothing to comment on about this abnormal weapon. Every characteristic affix is ​​deeply loved by Ember, and it is very suitable for dealing with the game rules of nightmare gold mining.

So far, many players have experienced the nightmare difficulty of Gold Rush Town. According to feedback from all parties, how to solve the problem of blood regeneration without affecting combat effectiveness will become a key factor in clearing the nightmare. Stuffing too many healing potions into the backpack will inevitably reduce the chance of obtaining other combat items, especially players like Ember who always have a few spare pieces of equipment in the backpack, will be greatly affected.

As a result, the market for passive health regeneration and health regeneration equipment has skyrocketed. The [Basic Resurrection Technique] that Yi Yan had obtained in the Dark Veil Forest was obviously not very effective, but it was already being sold at a sky-high price.

After exchanging two pieces of equipment with good effects, Ember is no longer eager to get the matching abnormal accessories. The reasons are still the same. There are not enough attribute points. The soft gloves fused with complete blood vines already provide enough blood. , and he has no redemption items on hand, so the next focus is on strengthening weapons and armor, purchasing more combat skills, and how to properly use the optimized bottle of third-level reagents.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Supervisor, for all your help."

Every equipment description showed how much the old tailor valued Ember, and Ember would naturally keep it in mind.

"Haha, supporting the younger generations is something I like very much. You don't have to take it too seriously. Besides, you have done a great job for our foundation. It's not too late for me to reward you."

The old tailor waved his hand and asked the person in charge of the control center to send two pieces of strengthening materials to Yi Jin for free. Then he saw Yi Jin take out a bottle of brilliant evolution reagent and immediately nodded and said: "Commander, I will improve your assessment in private." As for the reward, I can’t say that he is too stingy. After reading the optimized version of the reagent instructions, you should also know that it is a pure waste for ordinary people to drink it.”

"Yes."

Ember nodded. The bottle of optimization reagent delivered to the apartment really gave him a big surprise. It also brought him some problems, because the optimization instructions said that this item can develop the potential characteristics of the drinker, but if the drinker Without any properties, the reagent effect will be equivalent to the improved version of the evolution reagent. Ember felt that since he had become a reality warper, he should be able to make the best use of it, but he couldn't figure out the specific effect.

"The optimization reagent is almost an exclusive medicine for reality warpers, because only with special abilities that take root in the body can the optimization effect be exerted. And since you have become a reality warper, you are naturally qualified to enjoy this privilege."

The old tailor looked at the embers with a smile: "Your distortion ability is actually derived from the abnormal equipment of the active software, so your optimization direction can be inferred from the active software. However, the active software has a variety of abnormal characteristics, and you can only strengthen it. One of them, so some work needs to be done to proactively guide the optimization direction.”

With that said, the person in charge of the control center once again showed the improvement panel to Ember, showing that he could choose from three directions: [Self-repair], [Defense Strengthening] and [Slight Transformation], and listed the related guidance. plans and optimization expectations.

"Self-healing is actually the primary feature of active software, so optimization expectations exceed the other two, so I have no choice but to hesitate. Where can I get the [Intermediate Resurrection Technique] that is only used to guide optimization? You can’t buy it through official channels, and you probably can’t buy it through player channels either…”

Knowing that the supervisor could not provide it here, an idea suddenly popped up in Yu Yan's mind: "I wonder if my face fruit is enough?"
