The Eternal Sword Master of Online Games

Whether it is the death of a monster, an NPC, or a player, there are corpses left behind after death.

The difference lies in the length of time the corpse is retained.

The corpses of most NPCs will not be automatically refreshed by the system, but can exist for a long time (rotten corpses, or corpses that have turned into skeletons are also corpses) until they are discovered by other NPCs or players and undergo special treatment.

The corpse of a monster is retained for a very short time, only one minute. Unless it is a special mission monster or a monster corpse that exists as scene material, it is possible to retain it for a longer period of time.

The retention time of player corpses can be longer than the retention time of monster corpses, but it can only be retained for five minutes at most, which corresponds to the maximum "corpse lying time" (the maximum "corpse lying time" in the dungeon is

Ten minutes, the retention time of the player's corpse is also increased accordingly).

Players who are in the "lying corpse" state can immediately choose their "soul" to return to the city and be reborn. At the same time as they are reborn, their "corpse" will disappear immediately.

You can also choose to continue "lying corpse" until the time that this state is maintained reaches the limit of "lying corpse time", and then the "soul" is forced to return to the city to be reborn, and at the same time, the system deletes the corpse.

When the player's corpse has not been wiped out by the system, other hostile players can carry out normal attacks on the player's corpse, which is what is commonly known as "whipping the corpse".

In order to reduce the embarrassment of the "corpse player", "Whip the Corpse" can only vent psychologically, but cannot cause any damage to the corpse of the "corpse player" like destroying the corpses of monsters and NPCs.

Furthermore, players cannot perform the "touch corpse" operation on the corpses of other players. Even if it is just a small touch, they will be banned by the system and receive a warning during the operation.

Unless those player corpses are affected by special props or tasks, the corpses will continue to be retained after the player returns to the city and is reborn.

In this case, the preserved player corpses can be regarded as "mission materials" and can be transported and destroyed by other players and even monsters.

Although the system will no longer protect these player corpses, it will perform special treatment on the player corpses.

For example, the player ID will be completely hidden and replaced with "player" + "number", such as "player 10086".

For another example, it will reduce the "fidelity" of the player's corpse.

As for the so-called "cadaver fidelity", it refers to the degree of comparison between the current appearance of the corpse and its appearance during life.

For example, what monsters and NPC characters look like before they die is what their corpses will look like when they die. This is 100% fidelity.

The corpse of the player whose "fidelity" has been reduced is almost like a mosaic. The equipment is tattered and the face is blurred. It is impossible to think of the player's original image.

In this way, even if these players "revisit the old place" after rebirth and bring their own corpses in front of them and know that it is their own corpses, it will be difficult for them to feel embarrassed and awkward.

And be able to accept the status quo of "one's own" body being treated as "material" with peace of mind.

Now, through the lens of Gui Ye Youming, what is presented to Lin Chen is that these player corpses are the "material corpses" that have been preserved through a special method. They are also marked by the "player numbers" hanging above their heads.

Their former player identities.

Lin Chen had a flash of inspiration and suddenly figured out something.

Sissy and a group of others have reserved a place in this area. Many of them have red names hanging on their heads. It's not that they are really such die-hard players, but that they want to use these players' corpses to...

achieve a certain purpose.

As for this purpose, reflected in expression, that is...

Summon the Defiler?

Lin Chen was not lacking in patience, and as a qualified assassin of the assassination type, Gui Ye Youming was even less impatient.

Also out of curiosity, he and Guiye Youming waited patiently.

After Sissy's group finished cleaning up the polluters again, they saw two members of Sissy's group, a short and fat one and a tall and thin assassin, heading towards the magic circle.

They first moved the body and moved it to the magic circle. Then, under the guidance of the system, they chanted a difficult and unpleasant spell, and successfully lit up the lines on the magic circle.

This is a dark magic circle. At this moment, it releases a dark purple light and emits an evil and somewhat foul smell.

At the same time, NPCs and player corpses are gradually transforming into polluters.

They are not all ordinary polluters, among them there are also awakened mutant monsters with two heads and four arms, which are probably the fusion of two corpses.

It's a pity that the mutants only have attributes equivalent to those of bronze-level bosses, so it is still relatively difficult to destroy Sissy and her group.

The two assassins led the newly summoned polluters, including the only mutant species, to Sissy and others who were already ready to attack.

Then came a new round of strategy operations.

Lin Chen frowned, and he and Gui Ye Youming made some calculations.

Even if Sissy and the others don't get new corpses and summon monsters with the existing corpses, based on Sissy and the others' summoning frequency, even if they are given another hour, they still won't be able to get this thing done.

He suddenly felt disgusted with the sissy. This person was not sincere at all. He was probably fooling him when he said he would wait for half an hour.

Lin Chen didn't want to wait any longer. It was pointless. He quickly simulated three options in his mind.

The first option is to rush over directly, but with Sissy and his group, say they won't interfere with each other.

They didn't care what evil mission the other party wanted to do, as long as the other party didn't come to cause trouble for them, but just as the other party didn't trust them, Lin Chen didn't trust the other party, so he would definitely not cause harm to them.

The second option is to let Gui Ye Youming destroy the body directly, causing Sissy and her group to panic. In the end, the culprit cannot be found, and they have no choice but to leave early.

However, it may lead to the Sissy group, looking for the culprit, accidentally discovering the boss hiding in Mumu Lake.

Except for Lin Chen, the boss has never been discovered before, but it does not mean that it will never be discovered.

As for the third option, although it is not a direct confrontation with Sissy and her group, it is still relatively ruthless.
