Constructing-Style Wizard

Li Nuo ended his observation of the Dark Goddess Cult space station, returned to Planet Lisom-13, and began to build the magical building complex he envisioned.

At the same time, the game was undergoing normal maintenance and players were offline collectively.

The game forum became very lively, and almost all players who had nothing to do in reality focused their attention on the pinned post.

Title: "My first meeting with a mysterious NPC!" 》

Cover: Jin Long Zaitian is smiling, standing in front of a group of guild members. Behind them is a tall figure sitting on a high platform.

In order to heighten the sense of mystery, Li Nuo on the cover was blurred and turned into a humanoid pattern filled with question marks.

Thanks to the game's built-in panoramic camera function, when players click to view the content of the discussion thread, they will jump directly to a panoramic video that can freely adjust the viewing angle 360 ​​degrees.

The video was recorded by Miss Sweet Strawberry Juice, so what players see is her first-person perspective.

From the time when Cucumber Pian led the team to parachute from the transport ship of the Star Splitting Pirates, to when everyone took the combat cabin deep underground, they unexpectedly discovered that the boss guarding the strange objects of death was not an elite monster of the Death Prayer.

The entire first half of the video mainly focuses on the experiences of the Cucumber Patch Team.

However, before Jin Long Zaitian appeared, the video screen was switched to text description for reasons that were inconvenient to disclose.

When editing the video, Ms. Strawberry Juice used the sentence "The team notified Boss Jin immediately" to reveal the moment when the team members betrayed, and directly cut the camera to the moment when Jin Long Zaitian arrived at the scene in the combat cabin. .

The uninformed people who eat melons will naturally not know the twists and turns.

Anyway, when they saw that the Cucumber Patch Team simply gave up the mission and let Jin Long Zaitian become the first person in the expansion pack, they all wanted to take their place and enjoy the out-of-print rewards of the mission exclusively.

The climax of the video appears after the golden dragon appears in the sky. It is the scene where Li Nuo divides the earth, opens the skylight of the treasure room, and then uses thunder and lightning magic to bombard the devil snake.

The volume of video comments reached an explosive level at this moment!

"Ah! Thunder! This is my lifelong belief!"

"Bold demon! Eat my world-destroying divine thunder!"

"It would be great if we could use magic to generate electricity. It would be both clean and environmentally friendly~~"

"The strength of the new expansion pack is extraordinary. It kills monsters in the universe instantly!"

"Each version has its own God, and every version has its Dharma God!"

"Hey, as expected, we still cannot do without the traditional routines of online games. Just choose a mage without thinking! What kind of telekinesis do you want to play? Do you have the strength?"

"Ah~~~~~~~I want to be a mage~~~~~~~Where is this NPC!!!!"

"It's a rubbish game, it's a scammer, don't believe it, I'm here to help you test the strength of your new profession, you all get out of the way!"

Fortunately, the panoramic video also has the function of capturing human figures. Li Nuo and the raging thunder and lightning were extracted from the sea of ​​barrage by the algorithm and stood out on the screen, which did not affect the viewing.

After the bombardment ended, Miss Strawberry Juice thoughtfully inserted a stop-motion animation and narration.

The narration is the voice of Cucumber Pian. The general content is to analyze the strength of the new version and new professions and the differences between them and existing professions through the process of thunder and lightning bombarding the magic snake.

"Through the video just now, I believe many water friends have discovered that the new version of the profession is the familiar mage, or magician or wizard.

"Judging from the trial battles I have personally experienced, NPCs, on top of mastering powerful lightning magic and earth magic, also have the ability to summon dead creatures and even skeleton mages.

"I don't know if you have noticed that the frost wands in the hands of the skeleton mages were temporarily made by these skeleton mages on site. This means that the new profession may have the function of customizing the wand. It is very likely to appear in the future, allowing players to design and the life occupation of making wands.

"Also, everyone, please pay attention here."

The video screen cuts to a close-up view of the Guardian Rune Array.

"When the thunder and lightning bombarded the demon snake, many lightning beams fell on the magic barrier that protected us.

Now comes the details. Everyone discovered that not only did the lightning beam not damage the rune array, it also absorbed them into the body to strengthen itself.

"Every time a bolt of lightning is absorbed, the runes on the magic barrier will become brighter.

"Please see another picture."

The video switches to a scene where Li Nuo forcibly turns the laser beam of the laser turret into a ball of light.

"The laser turret we used at the time could cut the shield value of an ordinary frigate by half with one shot. But this laser beam was easily turned into a ball of light by the NPC, and it dissipated on its own shortly after.

"So, we have reason to believe that the new profession may have the ability to absorb the enemy's energy and strengthen itself. Perhaps, when we improve the level of the new profession, we can compete with starships by one person!

“The supermodel aspect of the new profession doesn’t end there, everyone!

"With the consent of Boss Jin himself, we will take the opportunity of this video to show everyone a brand new career!"

The music of the video became exciting, and the screen switched like turning pages of a book, finally stopping at the task reward interface of Jin Long Zaitian.

magic!

Law!

Egg!

These three large characters were manually bolded, enlarged and blackened, and were photographed in the center of the video screen.

When players learned that as long as they passed the first round of trial tasks, they could activate the NPC's favorability system and obtain magic eggs for free, some people even expressed doubts about whether the magic egg was a game prop used to cheat money. .

Many, many players are frightened by the game operators' cutting-edge game activities.

When they see the official giving away props for free, they subconsciously think it is a money trap.

Cucumber Pian has obviously figured out what the players are thinking.

He immediately introduced in the form of narration:

"Magic eggs can be turned into little pets without spending money, buying gift packs, or even opening the game store!

“When we spawn monsters, won’t we drop gray-quality props that have no purpose other than selling them to NPCs?

"We only need to feed this store product to the magic egg, and then pour experience into the magic egg to hatch little pets!

"Everyone! This is a conscientious activity to prove that you are the king of liver! As long as you are willing to liver, everyone can have their own pet!

"If you are a brick-and-mortar player who likes to eat ribs, congratulations! Just by selling gray-quality items that you don't want to other players, you can make twice as much money as selling them to stores!

"I know there will definitely be people saying, 'Hey, cucumber slices, each person can only take one magic egg to hatch one pet, so there won't be so many people who need gray-quality items.'

"For such questions, I just want to say, who told you that each person can only take one magic egg??"

The cucumber slices pretended to be suspenseful and appetizing. After a few seconds of pause, they continued to play along with the video:

"After our actual testing, there is no upper limit on the number of magic eggs that each person can receive! As long as the NPC's favorability requirements are met, everyone can receive unlimited magic eggs!

"The reason why there is such a conscientious setting is because the new profession is to lead the army of magic pets, the magic! pet! leader! Lord!"

The hidden mission shown by Jin Long Zaitian appeared on the video screen.

The heroic boss Jin did not hide it, and disclosed the hidden professional tasks he had received without reservation.

The entire video screen is densely packed with exclamation marks and WTF. If you don't turn off the barrage, you won't be able to see any video footage at all.

"Our team speculates that Boss Jin, as the first person to clear the first ring trial mission, can ignore the favorability requirement and accept the hidden professional mission. Water friends should also be able to receive it after raising the NPC's favorability. A series of tasks for this profession!

“Let us look forward to the new expansion pack after the maintenance is completed!

“For more information about NPCs, please pay attention to the game’s official website!

"Finally, let us thank Boss Jin for his selflessness. Without him, we would never have known so much inside information!"

There are countless barrages.

"Thank you Boss Jin, the boss is so generous!"

"Boss Jin's guild is still recruiting people? My specialty!"

"No, tell me where this NPC is! It really makes me anxious!"

"This is a rubbish game. Don't believe it. It's all a trick planned by a dog. Let me test the waters first."

The barrage continued until the video screen turned black.

About an hour after this panoramic video was released, the official game website released a game update announcement.

In addition to normal bug fixes and patches, all the remaining content is introducing the new expansion pack.

After the update was made public, the Cucumber Pian team immediately published their own team’s interpretation article.

First of all, there is the new plot of the new expansion pack. It is said that the notorious Dark God Clan is secretly planning some kind of conspiracy, which has attracted the attention of the descendants of the Supreme God Clan.

Our mysterious leader-level NPC is a descendant of the Supreme God Clan.

He comes to the stage and appears in the player's field of vision to guide the player to defeat the Dark God Cult and other cosmic forces with evil intentions.

Any player who can be recognized by the NPC can find a new profession related to magic.

In addition to the familiar lord who appeared in the video, four other new professions were also announced in the announcement.

As Cucumber Pian speculated in the video, there is indeed a profession that specializes in making magic props, and that is the "magic craftsman".

Since the announcement did not mention the specific skills of each profession, Cucumber Pian can only give a rough guess by referring to other games.

This part of the content is full of subjective meaning, and each player has his own ideas.

In short, a panoramic video that is popular across the Internet, coupled with an update announcement for the "Star Ocean" game, has become a hot topic among nearly 10 million players.

However, here comes the problem.

Where is this NPC?

It wasn’t mentioned in the video, it wasn’t written in the announcement, and members of the Cucumber Pian team didn’t respond to private messages.

There are only a few players who have done the task of breaking the Bear Star Pirate Force in Lithom Nova, and they guess that the NPC is on a certain planet in the Lithom system, but they are not sure which planet it is.

Because there are too many planets with reddish-brown soil in the Lisom galaxy.

The Cucumber Pian team did not want to say that they had received instructions from Jin Long Zaitian and needed to gain more first-mover advantages for Jin Long Zaitian’s guild.

The game’s official website announcement didn’t include it, so it’s Li Nuo’s fault.

To be honest, Li Nuo has a headache now.

He is worrying about how to build a magnificent magical complex.

In his initial plan, he wanted to package and assign the work of building magical buildings in the form of tasks to players who were proficient in the construction industry.

After receiving the task, the player draws the design drawing, conceives the construction plan, and submits it to Li Nuo for review.

Li Nuo selects his favorite plans and releases a large number of tasks to guide players to build magical buildings for themselves.

This has two benefits.

First, Li Nuo doesn't have to do it himself, and the players have to worry about everything.

Second, players have a strong sense of participation and a sense of belonging will be quickly developed. At the same time, they can also obtain magic props that are beneficial to their own improvement from tasks.

Originally, this was something that was beneficial to both Li Nuo and the players.

However, because the Dark Goddess Cult suddenly began to contaminate the source code of the game, Li Nuo was worried that he would soon be besieged by the Dark Goddess Cult, so he had to make changes to this plan.

Under the circumstances of tight time and heavy tasks, Li Nuo could only rely on his understanding of architecture and use rock and soil magic to piece together the magic buildings.

He had basically zero construction experience. He drew the design drawings several times and could not even decide on the location of the building complex.

This directly resulted in him being unable to write his exact location on the update announcement...

Seeing that there were only 15 hours left for maintenance, Li Nuo knew that he had to make a plan and could no longer hesitate.

"I want a building complex that is related to magic at first glance. It can also float in space, or land on a planet. If possible, it also has certain defense capabilities. For example, there is a layer of magic barrier to protect the entire planet. Either way, there are magic turrets everywhere inside and out to protect it.”

Li Nuo was floating in space, looking at the deep and boundless sea of ​​stars, his eyebrows tightening:

"Considering that many players will come to me to do tasks in the future, the bigger the building complex, the better. But how can I build something as huge as a space station in 15 hours by myself?

"Do you want me to snatch it?"

Li Nuo thought of the Dark God Sect space station under his surveillance, and then shook his head.

That space station is too far away from here. There is no way we can grab it now.

And even if Li Nuo can snatch it, he may not be able to transport it away...

Li Nuo thought hard and decided to ask the "Magic Heart" first.

Maybe there just happens to be this kind of magic that creates magical complexes.

"Inquire about the magic that creates large magical complexes."

【querying…】

[The query ends, the result is zero. It is recommended to use "House Building Technique" to build the buildings you want one by one. 】

"Hiss... toothache." Li Nuo's cheeks twitched slightly.

He changed the question and asked:

"Is there any kind of magic building that can allow many, many people to stay in the same place, and then everyone can do different things without interfering with each other? This kind of magic building should have good defense.

【querying…】

[The query ends, the results are as follows:...]

"Huh?! Are there any results??" Li Nuo quickly clicked to check.

When he saw one of the magic buildings, even in Li Nuo's current state of mind, he couldn't help but forget to breathe. (End of chapter)
