Summoner, He is Never Alone

It is not an easy task to open the door in a room full of snow. Because the door doesn't open outward, it opens inward.

Ye Xu didn't have fire magic, so he couldn't melt the snow in the area at the door, and he didn't have the ability to control the ice element for the time being, so he couldn't make the snow disappear directly. So he can only use the most clumsy way: force a miracle.

It's not that he doesn't want to shovel the snow away, it's just too inefficient to do so, it's better to pull the door directly. Anyway, the snow here is very fluffy, not tightly piled together, the door can still be opened with more strength... um, a crack...

Looking at the 10-centimeter-wide slit in front of him, Ye Xu really couldn't open it, he could only do this at most. The snow continued to pile up, and if it didn't go out, the doors would all be covered. Ye Xu sighed, quickly turned into a little dragon cub, and got out of the crack.

The babies obviously couldn't follow, so Ye Xu had to call again. However, a few have not yet reached the summon CD, so there are only a few summons with short CDs around.

Fortunately, the fourth room was not a fighting class, and a table appeared in the center of the room, with a three-dimensional maze toy on it, asking him to solve it. There is no time limit, but the three-dimensional maze is generally quite difficult to solve in a short time.

Ye Xu was a little apprehensive when he picked up the maze, but after a closer look, he was relieved. Because he played with this labyrinth toy, and there was a similar one in the pile of toys that the dragon family gave him. The routes are similar, the only difference is that the dragons are made of bright crystal materials.

As we all know, bright crystals are translucent or even fully transparent. The reason why it is difficult to get out of the three-dimensional maze is because the internal structure is invisible, and you have to try one by one by the feel. If it is made transparent, then there is no difficulty, and it can be solved quickly.

In order to shine, the dragon family can completely give up the fun of the game. Anyway, their giant dragons are not interested in any kind of puzzle solving.

Ye Xu quickly found this toy from the Bell Room, took it out and compared it, and it looked exactly the same. Then he followed the route of the transparent maze and solved the three-dimensional maze on the table little by little, which was similar to redoing the question with the answer, but the maze was solved in two minutes.

Of course, the system will not detect whether the player has cheated. Generally speaking, after cutting off the connection between the player and the outside world, there is no chance to cheat to find a strategy, so there is no cheating by default. Ye Xu solved the maze so quickly, which directly triggered the system's reward mechanism.

[System Tip: Passing level 4 will reward you with 1% experience and a chance to draw a lottery. 】

[System Tip: The three-dimensional maze level will take 132 seconds to pass, less than 15 minutes, and an additional reward of 1% experience and a chance to draw a lottery. 】

[System prompt: ... less than 10 minutes, additional experience reward 2%, two chances to draw. 】

[System prompt: ... less than 5 minutes, an additional reward of 3% experience, and three chances to draw a lottery. 】

Ye Xu snorted, it turns out that there are additional rewards for this? It seems that this maze normally takes at least 10 minutes to clear.

He quietly put away his cheating device and pretended that he did not pass the level directly by means of a strategy. Turn away from the table, walk to the next door, and open it to enter.

The fifth level is the battle level, although Ye Xu still only brought a few babies, but because he faced only 3 elite monsters of the same level, he still easily killed it. The whole process did not take more than five minutes, and the speed is not slow.

On the other end, although Sister Xuan walked very fast in the early stage, she was stuck in the seventh level. Coincidentally, she also encountered a three-dimensional labyrinth level, but unlike Ye Xu's cylindrical labyrinth lock, what she encountered was a double-layer labyrinth.

Two huge metal **** are embedded in two different plane mazes on the upper and lower layers. She has to move the upper and lower layers of the maze to make the **** go back and forth between the channels. Finally, the two metal **** reach the same exit, and the maze can be considered to be successfully solved.

This is a very classic three-dimensional maze. Although Jiang Yuexuan has no research on mazes, he has seen people play similar ones. It's just that the maze route she encountered was newly planned. She had to solve the puzzle by her own skills. There was no room for cheating, and the time-consuming process naturally increased.

Both the upper and lower layers of this maze can be seen, but because the ball is very large, there are many restrictions on its movement. Sometimes the upper ball moves and the lower ball gets stuck, so it is very troublesome to re-adjust the overlapping position of the maze.

When Ye Xu arrived at the tenth level with all her might, she finally successfully cleared the level. Fortunately, there is no time limit for this level, otherwise they would have been eliminated long ago.

Jiang Yuexuan couldn't help but open the chat system, and complained to Ye Xu about the breakthrough: "I hate mazes!"

"Have you encountered it too? Fortunately, I have a cheating device." Ye Xu had a lingering fear, "I think the battle level is more likable."

It takes less time and can easily pass the level. He would rather singled out a boss than play a puzzle level.

——Then Ye Xu met the boss at the tenth level.

Ye Xu: "..."

He just thinks about it, he doesn't have to satisfy his QAQ!

Fortunately, the CDs of the babies have all ended, so Ye Xu hurriedly summoned them all before he opened the monsters. This is a small boss in front of him. He has singled out dozens of small bosses, so don't be afraid of it.

Although the level of the boss in front of him is a bit high, Ye Xu is no longer the Ye Xu before. When he was in his early 50s, he dared to go to a level 55 mini-boss, but now that he is at the same level as the boss, he will never be able to beat the other side. And he is lucky, this is a melee physics boss, without the blessing of element attributes, it will be easier to fight.

Bosses who can manipulate elements are obviously more difficult to deal with. They can use the power of elements to help themselves maintain balance on the ice. The boss who can't control the elements is much more miserable. The little boss in front of him obviously can't get rid of the miserable ending experienced by his predecessors, and he was also tortured to death by the Glacier Domain.

While Ye Xu singled out the boss, Jiang Yuexuan on the other side also caught up and reached her tenth level. It is also a small boss waiting for her, and it is a mage profession restrained by her.

This occupational restraint actually has to wait until the wizard has learned the "curse of deviation". The wizard can 100% successfully put a curse of deviation on the wizard, and then the magic thrown by the wizard has a 25% probability of deviation, which is miss. At the same time, the wizard can also give the wizard a series of strange weakening effects, making a good fort become a squib, and finally because of the thin blood and crisp skin, the wizard with low attack power is grinded to death.

When a mage encounters a necromancer with a full set of professional skills and a powerful attack, it obviously has little room to struggle. Jiang Yuexuan was a "fatal deviation" when she started, which was a new skill she learned after she reached level 55.

As an upgraded variant of "Curse of Deviation", the effect of "Fatal Deviation" is obviously stronger. It not only increases the deviation probability to 50%, but also stipulates that both physical and legal occupations will be subject to the effect of fatal deviation, so it has changed from a purely legal restraint skill to a comprehensive restraint skill.

Or to say that the wizard is the most annoying profession, and no one can stand to be debuffed by a bunch of messes before starting a fight. Lowering the attack is already disgusting enough, but it can still make people attack miss directly, which is as annoying as a high agility profession.

Jiang Yuexuan's attack is not low, but after all, she is only one person, and her efficiency in fighting bosses is not as high as that of Ye Xu. And Ye Xu started the fight before her, so when she wore down 20% of the boss's HP, Ye Xu had already ended the battle.

When entering the 11th level, the difficulty of the level suddenly increased. If the difficulty of the previous level was still between purple and orange, now the difficulty must be the level of the orange level. By analogy, after level 20, it is estimated that you will start to face the level level.

The only good news is that levels are levels after all, not separate quests, so it won't really be on par with the orange quest. The content of the 11th level that Ye Xu encountered was a jigsaw puzzle. The 48-piece puzzle had to be completed within 5 minutes, and except for the border, each piece of the puzzle had almost the same shape as a pinwheel.

This kind of puzzle is obviously more difficult than normal puzzles. Anyone who has really played high-difficulty realistic puzzles knows that the pieces of the puzzle seem to be similar, but in fact, the puzzles that are not adjacent to each other cannot be fitted together. So sometimes you can judge whether the puzzle should be placed here by whether it fits perfectly. If it can't be embedded, it is wrong.

But there is no way for the pinwheel-shaped puzzle. They can fit into each other. There is no way to judge whether they are placed correctly or not through this trick. It depends on whether the patterns match. Fortunately, due to the short time limit, the patterns on the puzzle are relatively bright and the colors are more diverse. Compared with the same color puzzle, this one is much easier to put together.

Ye Xu once bought a puzzle when he was bored. The pattern was a dark cave, and that puzzle was desperate. Putting it all together is a test of eyesight. Ye Xu felt that he was going blind. In the end, he relied on the test to see if it fit together, and he put together the finished product. Just by looking at the pattern, he couldn't tell which piece should go where.

I don't know if this puzzle in the game has any hints. Generally, if the position of the online puzzle is correct, it will have a reminder like flash. There is also the kind of two puzzle pieces that are successfully matched, and then they are glued together and will not be easily separated.

Ye Xu first classified the 48 pieces of puzzles by color. Putting the same color together, these must be placed together. When classifying, by the way, find the puzzle pieces that should be the four corners and four sides, because they are on the corners, only half of them maintain the shape of a windmill, and the other positions are a straight side or a right angle.

After sorting, build the puzzle frame. The system gave him a reference picture, but it only took him 5 seconds to look at it and then it disappeared. However, Ye Xu had a good memory and roughly remembered the location of each color. Relying on this, he quickly put up the frame.

He tried it when he built the frame, and the puzzles that had been fitted could not be disassembled again. This is very simple. If there are any pieces of the puzzle that can't be positioned, you can use this to try and save a lot of time.

In the end, Ye Xu completed the puzzle in just three minutes. The 48 pieces seemed to be a lot, but in fact they were not many after being classified. But tasks with a countdown are ultimately more difficult than those without a countdown, mainly because of the psychological pressure. Ye Xu rubbed his eyes, feeling a little dizzy.

Jigsaw puzzles can be very dizzy and nauseous, especially when there is intense concentration, prolonged engagement, and when the pieces of the puzzle are too similar. Ye Xu felt that he didn't want to see puzzles for the next three days. He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and entered the next level.

Originally, Ye Xu and the two would glance at the progress bar in the upper right corner from time to time to know which level they and their teammates had reached. But since entering the second stage of the level, both of them tacitly chose not to watch it, and also turned off the progress bar display.

This thing itself will increase the pressure on the teammates who have a competitive relationship, and the levels in the second stage are all time-limited, and there is no benefit to adding more pressure. The two salted fish decided to calm down and regain their former aura, so that they could properly complete the task.

It is worth mentioning that, after Ye Xu held Tiantian and made a sincere wish to go to never encounter mazes and puzzles again, he really never encountered these two levels again. Although there will be question-answering levels in the follow-up, the answering questions are really much more friendly than these two.

The answers in the first stage are still knowledge quizzes and brain teasers. The latter can find the answer by means of elimination. The former, Ye Xu, as a college student who has just graduated with excellent grades, does not have many difficulties.

He studied very solidly. Unlike many classmates who went to college and forgot all the knowledge they had learned before, he still remembered very solidly. So I can easily complete the question and answer, and also provide some help to Sister Xuan by the way.

The second phase of the Q&A is not so easy, because it starts to ask about the knowledge in the game.

These things are available in the database of the official website, but how many players will go to see the huge amount of information on the official website? You must know that these materials are as many as one million words. Even if you look at it as a collection of short stories, you will have to read it for ten days to read it, unless you keep flipping through it day and night. But it doesn't mean that you remember it after seeing it. The NPCs recorded in it are all foreigners' names, who can remember them.

Ye Xu couldn't guarantee that he could remember it, and he really didn't watch much. He only looked at some information that he found useful, and then searched whichever he used. So if you really want to count, the number of words he has read does not exceed 50,000.

Faced with such a question and answer, Ye Xu was completely at a loss. Even though these are multiple choice questions and the options are reduced to 5, he is still very cowardly.

Fortunately, Goddess of Luck favored him, and he happened to know the answer to three of the five questions in this round. The topic is relatively basic, although not everyone has seen it in the database, but after playing the game for so long, he will not be smeared after leaving the database.

The remaining two subjects were beyond his scope, one was alchemy and the other was priest.

Ye Xu didn't know anything about alchemy. Although he had searched for some information about alchemy, it didn't cover this issue. But fortunately, he found an answer that had nothing to do with alchemy from the options, used the elimination method, and then added a little bit of analysis, and finally there were only two options left.

Choose one of the two, it depends on the face.

Ye Xu has no preference for them in his heart, and can only let help sweetly choose. But sweet and sometimes ineffective, it sometimes chooses not the correct answer, but the one next to the correct answer. For example, the last time it was asked to help choose the cave where the boss was hiding, it chose the cave around the boss.

So if there are several chances to try, Ye Xu will definitely succeed. If you don't have it now, you can only do it. This level requires you to answer four of the five questions correctly. It doesn't matter if you are wrong.

The last question is the pastor's question. Thanks to Mo Bei, Ye Xu also has a certain understanding of the pastor. But this question was different from what he understood. It asked which of the following five skills was the priest's skill. Ye Xu glanced over and didn't know them all.

Fortunately, he knows that the naming preference for priest skills is to match words like light and holy, and there are other brilliant and hymns, in short, they are all positive praises for the **** of light. According to this principle, although all five skills contain similar words, one of them is particularly eligible.

It is called "Bright Praise", without any other useless words, it is definitely the favorite of priests. Ye Xu chose it firmly, and then anxiously began to wait for the judgment.

Then, he got four questions right, and the pastor got it wrong.

Ye Xu slowly revealed a: "?"

Isn't "Bright Anthem" a bad name? Why is the least like "Shadow of God" the right answer?

It seems that Ye Xu's doubts were discovered, and the system answered it. All five skills are explained in small print. It turns out that the glorious hymn is the skill of the holy knight, and the shadow of the **** is the skill of the priest. The reason why it doesn't look so bright is because this skill is a priest's attack skill, and the effect is similar to punishment, so naturally it will not be very positive.

Ye Xu just remembered that the knights are also in the holy church system, and they are in the same family as the priests, and many of their skills are also named after these words. The Holy Knight, similar to the Holy Priest, is more brilliant and great, so the similarity with the priest's skill name is naturally higher.

Although one question was wrong, he had already passed the test anyway, so Ye Xu was not depressed. It's not that the Summoner's question and answer is wrong, and the pastor's question is wrong. What does it matter?

After reaching the 20th level smoothly all the way, Ye Xu became nervous. He couldn't help but opened and glanced at Jiang Yuexuan's position, and found that the other party had also reached level 20.

He was very suspicious that the 20th level would ask them to single out the big boss, and it was about to converge, but there must be no other moth.

Ye Xu waited with a group of babies, staring at the center of the room with burning eyes.

After a while, eight NPCs were refreshed in the room, and they were not red names, which meant that there was no need to fight in this level. But Ye Xu didn't relax at all, after all, this level looked very difficult, maybe it was more difficult than fighting.

The eight NPCs happened to belong to the eight popular occupations. Their eyes were dull, and their intelligence was obviously very low. In addition to the summoner NPC's green name, the other seven are neutral yellow names.

The system quickly announced the rules of this level: [Players are asked to arrange a two-to-two battle. If the NPC of this profession wins in the end, the level can be cleared. 】

Ye Xu suddenly understood that he was going to arrange group fights for eight NPCs, and then go all the way to eight to four, four to two, two to one, to decide the final champion, and to ensure that the summoner would be the victor. These eight people have the same level and equipment, so whether they can win depends entirely on their professional advantages and luck.

This kind of system NPC simulates a battle, and it has no intelligence or the assistance of sharp tactics. It is the most basic battle. Two professions that have no restraint relationship with each other, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Ye Xu was considered lucky, because the summoner profession naturally had the advantage of gang fights. As long as you don't encounter an enemy that restrains you, the winning rate will be relatively higher.

He first picked out the knights who had been restrained by the Summoner, assigned them to the first half, and then asked the Summoner to go to the second half, so that the two would meet in the final. Then the archers who were restrained by the Cavaliers were also thrown into the first half and let them meet in the semifinals.

Then he had to first make sure that the Summoner would make it to the finals, so he lost the Warrior who was the most restrained Summoner in the first half, and also lost the relatively difficult Thief in the first half. In this way, the first half is decided, knights, thieves, warriors and archers, four physical occupations.

The knight and the archer cannot meet in the first round, so the knight goes to fight the warrior and the archer goes to the thief. Archers restrain thieves, and it will be easier to fight. The warrior's defense is higher than the archer, it's a bit difficult to fight it, the knight is relatively better, in fact, the defense is higher, and it can increase blood, the warrior and him can't cut melons and vegetables, and it is easy to become a war of attrition, and the winning rate is very low.

Of the four legal professions in the second half, the last thing a summoner wants to encounter is a wizard. In contrast, wizards and priests are a lot easier to fight. After all, fighting with wizards often requires luck. All kinds of debuffs have a certain probability of success. Bad luck means 100% success, which is very annoying.

After throwing the priest to restrain the wizard, the first round of the summoner and the mage fight. The second round can basically be determined to be against the priest, if the summoner does not have the first round to gg. Then in the finals, as long as you don't face the warriors, the winning rate is very large.

Ye Xu sorted out the battle combination again, determined that there were no mistakes, and chose to submit. Next, is the nervous waiting time.

I don't know if Sister Xuan next door encountered the same level, and Ye Xu didn't dare to disturb her. After all, the levels in the second stage have a time limit. If you disturb others, it is likely to delay the time, resulting in the final countdown to zero.

The system battle did not show Ye Xu the specific fighting process. After all, it would take a long time to play it through, so it would be possible to skip it and get the results directly. If you don't jump over that player, you have to look at it one by one. As the battle progresses, the heartbeat keeps going up and down, which is a bit frustrating.

After all, it is a task for the Qixi Festival. It is mainly about sweet love, and the single dog planning can't bring too much private goods. So one minute after the result is submitted, the system reminds him that he can view it.

A tree diagram appeared in front of Ye Xu, and the eight occupations in the bottom row were clear. The four occupations in the second row were still question marks, and he could click on whichever one he clicked to reveal which result. The third row has two question marks, and the last row is the final winner.

What he cares most about is the results of the first round of the Summoner and the Knight, and there is not much suspense in other things. So first, I ordered the battle between Summoner and Mage in the second half. If the first round is broken, then there is no need to watch it.

Ye Xu stretched out his hand and slowly clicked the third question mark in the second row.
