Stealing the protagonist's chance at the beginning

"When the stronghold construction plan was drawn up, didn't you say that the second round would come later? Why is a new round of invasion brewing when the stronghold has just started construction?"

However, no one can answer Niu Yin's question.

He could only bite the bullet and revise the plan overnight, and began to find ways to speed up the construction of the stronghold.

Among them, the strengthening of the ground and city walls of the stronghold, as well as the construction of some semi-permanent fortifications, can be moved back a little.The most urgent task right now is to complete the construction of the core building of the stronghold - the Altar of First Fire!

However, this sophisticated and complex extraordinary building does not mean that it can be easily built by construction.

Fortunately, in the huge Huaizhuang, there are still people who can help him.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to hang up the latest task.

Soon, the system issued an area reminder to all players participating in the event.

"It has been detected that a new wave of gray mist invasion is imminent, and a wave of emergency refreshing of event tasks has been carried out. At the same time, some construction and garrison tasks will be given a certain amount of extra points according to the efficiency of completion and the intensity of the battle. , no more than 50%.”

As soon as the news came out, the enthusiasm of the players was immediately further stimulated.

Many players who didn't grab the mission before also got a share of the newly refreshed mission, and started their new work excitedly.

Xu Fei was also startled by the system prompt that popped up. Originally, he just planned to take a casual look, but he didn't expect to see a bright urgent task just after clicking on the active task interface.

【Assist in the construction of the First Fire Altar】

Mission description: A new wave of gray mist has arrived earlier than expected, and Niu Yin is in urgent need of manpower to speed up the construction of the Altar of First Fire.

Qualifier masters and mid-level superhumans can receive it.

Mission reward: 500 points.

Failure Penalty: Depends on the situation.

Other: None.

"A qualifier master, a mid-level transcendent?"

Xu Fei's eyes suddenly became a little strange. This condition means that he has to report his ID card.

Why don't you directly stipulate that the game name has only two characters, and players whose surname is the first of a hundred surnames and whose strokes are less than two can sign up! ?

"Forget it, since Brother Niu Yin really needs help, I'll help you with this. It has nothing to do with five hundred points."

Xu Fei sighed, put away the drawn talisman, and acted quickly.

A few minutes later, he found Niu Yin who had just returned from Jetliu Slope in the temporary camp, and got more detailed information from him.

"Thousands of strange things? The scale is much larger than the previous round?"

This is undoubtedly bad news, but considering that there are less than 1 players gathered here, Xu Fei's mood seems to suddenly calm down.

Chapter 382 Building the First Fire Altar

Anyway, when soldiers come to block, water comes to cover.

The weird and weird army coming from the Black Mountain region is certainly terrifying, but the more than 8000 players who urgently need the source of life to improve their strength and wait for food are not vegetarians.

Of course, in addition to high-end combat power, the current players are still far behind. I hope that there will be more NPC masters to help.Or a certain saint shot secretly and cracked some of the most powerful ones.

Otherwise, just relying on Xu Fei and Niu Yin's two third-levels at the scene would not be able to stop more than one fierce level!

Then there is the specific matter of building the first fire altar.

Xu Fei still has a lot of knowledge about the Altar of Chuhuo, a small part comes from his own observation after becoming a superhuman, and most of it comes from the knowledge passed down by Saint Naser.However, in this part of knowledge, there is no mention of how to build it.

"Don't worry, we have already prepared the drawings here."

Niu Yin took out a stack of wide and thick drawings from his luggage, spread them out and spread them on the table.

"The Altar of the First Fire is mainly divided into three parts. One is the base of the altar, the second is the extraordinary rituals inscribed on it and the runes with various functions, and the third is the most critical and important kindling of the original fire."

"We have already prepared the fire, and you don't need to worry about the construction of the base. What needs your help is mainly the carving of the extraordinary ritual substrate."

Saying this, Niu Yin took out a few drawings from the multiple drawings and handed them to Xu Fei.

"The blueprint for the construction of the First Fire Altar!"

This is a treasure that is hard to come by, so Xu Fei immediately took a screenshot and saved it without hesitation.

Then I slowly looked up.

But a look of surprise soon appeared on his face.

Before looking at it, he thought that these blueprints were a big diagram of an extraordinary ritual formation.But after actually looking at it, I found that only one of them is a frame diagram, and the others are divided into square substrates of different sizes.The extraordinary ceremony engraved on each base plate can be embedded in the frame diagram to form a whole, or it can be used as a small extraordinary ceremony with a single function to take effect independently, which can be said to be extremely exquisite.

"This...how does it look like a realistic modular design idea? If any function is damaged, it will not affect the operation of other functions of the Chuhuo Altar, and it is more convenient to repair, as long as the damaged substrate is replaced? "

If so, what happened to the Chuhuo Altar in Donggang Village?After the altar over there was damaged, why did it take at least a week to repair it?

Hearing Xu Fei's whisper, Niu Yin showed a surprised look, and said, "That's right, it's that kind of modular idea. In fact, the formation diagram of the Chuhuo Altar before was not like this. The current one is from Baili Mountain City. The latest modified version that came here is said to be a high-end product that was finalized a year or two ago! I didn't expect Brother Zhao Yi to have such a wide vision, and he can see its benefits at a glance!"

"Huh? You mean this is the latest?" Xu Fei suddenly discovered the key word.

Niu Yin nodded, and said: "The Altar of Chuhuo has been modified for thousands of years, but it has been very stable for thousands of years. Except for the appearance, the core design is said to have not changed. So seeing Bai After the new blueprint came from Lishan City, we were very surprised for a while, after all, we had never heard the slightest bit of wind before..."

"I think this thing might not be made by Baili Mountain City."

Xu Fei muttered something in a low voice, then quickly shut up.

Dare not dare to say.

Seeing the suspicious expression on Niu Yin's face, Xu Fei quickly cleared his throat and said, "In short, my task is to help carve these substrates, right?"

Niu Yin nodded: "This thing is essentially the same as drawing talismans. It's just that one is drawn on talisman paper, and the other is engraved on a hard substrate. The forms are different. You may not be used to it when you first start making it, but how often You should get the hang of it after a few tries."

It sounds like it's really not difficult.

Xu Fei asked again: "Is there no one else responsible besides me?"

If this is the case, then you, the person in charge of the construction of the stronghold, did not do enough preparations.

Furthermore, since the substrate can be prefabricated, why not bring the finished product directly and only be responsible for the assembly work, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?

Niu Yin shrugged: "The construction of the Chuhuo Altar may not happen once in a few years. Not to mention this new design, no one here in Qingmu Village has experience in making it. Originally, Director Liu told me Okay, someone will come to guide the construction later, but isn’t the progress ahead of time, and they may not be able to count on it. So I have to ask you to take over first, and if it doesn’t work, then..."

Meaning I'm just a spare tire?

"alright."

For the sake of friendship, Xu Fei had no choice but to try a few more times, hoping it would not be too difficult.

After receiving the warrant from Niu Yin, Xu Fei found the NPC Extraordinary who was in charge of guarding the material warehouse, and received the first batch of materials and tools from him.

"From the drawings, there are as many as 16 yuan for various sizes of substrates. Considering the first-time practice and the success rate, let's start with the No. 5 substrate with the simplest function."

The function of the No. 5 substrate is to store the "firewood" of the altar of the first fire, and then increase or decrease the amount of input firewood according to the conversion of dark night and white night, so as to adjust the flame intensity.

To put it bluntly, it is a fully automatic fuel tank, fuel pipeline and timer switch!

Of course, its actual structure is much more complicated than that of the fuel tank. It is an extremely strict technical problem just to preserve the spirituality of the firewood to the maximum extent without losing it.

"If it is converted into a talisman, the difficulty of drawing it is about the same as drawing three top-grade basic talismans in a row, and none of the middle ones can be wrong."

After taking a deep breath, Xu Fei started the first step.

Use a talisman pen to draw lines on the substrate first!

There is nothing to say about this process, Xu Fei's old job is done.

His eyes don't even need to look at the basics, but look at the drawings all the way, and he writes and writes in one go.

There are no mistakes or omissions throughout.

The golden finger given to him by the rebirth is so easy to use!

To be on the safe side, after carefully checking that there was no mistake, Xu Fei pointed to the knife and began to carve along the hooked line little by little.

The extraordinary power passes through the fingertips, like the sharpest carving knife, easily carving out lines, dots and inscriptions.

This process was smoother than Xu Fei expected.

"Could it be that the gray talisman has a broader definition of talisman than I thought? This kind of hard-core 'painting talisman' is also a talisman?"

As the engraving continued, Xu Fei couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

But he realized right away that this was not the time to be distracted.Concentrate quickly and continue to carve and draw.

After less than half an hour of drawing, Xu Fei successfully completed the No. 5 substrate!

The next step is to fill in the corresponding extraordinary materials and make them completely integrated with the substrate.

Afterwards, Xu Fei manually injected extraordinary power, allowing the ritual on this board to run separately from the "working environment".If it runs smoothly, it's done.

Chapter 383 Doubt and Convincing

The first attempt to make it was successful, which gave Xu Fei a lot of confidence.

After testing the effect of the ritual operation on the No. 5 substrate, Xu Fei took a short rest and began to make the remaining 15 substrates in order from easy to difficult.

And while he was busy, the construction progress of the jet stream slope stronghold also pressed the fast forward button and began to accelerate rapidly.

Under the construction of thousands of players and a large number of NPCs day and night, the land near the front wall of the stronghold was first leveled and compacted, and then the "stone mud" mixed with extraordinary materials, similar to high-grade quick-drying cement in reality, was used in the An unbreakable foundation is laid on it.

Then came the repair of the city wall.

In the ancient times of Blue Star, this is a huge project that requires amazing labor and a long time.

But in the Land Abandoned by God, even forging warriors have attributes several times higher than ordinary humans.Not to mention the physique of a transcendent person, it can be more than a dozen times casually.

Stones weighing hundreds of catties are no different from ordinary bricks in their hands.

Coupled with the use of a large number of extraordinary materials, potion abilities, and weird objects, the construction of the entire project is obviously advancing at a sci-fi speed.

In just three days, the front city wall, which was built first, rose from the ground, reaching a height of nine meters!

In the central area of ​​the stronghold, the pedestal used to place the altar of the first fire has also been repaired with the efforts of the NPC extraordinary.

Only by embedding all the substrates, allowing the extraordinary ceremony to fully operate, and then integrating the core primordial fire, the core building of this stronghold will be completed!

At that time, there will be no need to spend a lot of talisman lamps every day, and there will be no need to worry about creeping in and sneak attacks below the level of resentment.

Of course, this may not be good news for players, because it means that the manpower required for stronghold defense missions will be greatly reduced!

In other words, those who want to take on the task are more excited!

It was also when the dark night of this day came that the talisman master who came from Baili Mountain City finally rushed to Huai Village after trekking across mountains and rivers.

There were three people who came here, plus four accompanying and protective median transcendents. For this purpose, they took a special beast "Coffin Dragon".

"Welcome everyone to come from afar. The situation here is quite tense, but we are waiting for you!"

Niu Yin glanced at the strange, boxy dragon beast that broke out of the ground, then put away the envy in his eyes, and warmly entertained the seven extraordinary people of Baili Mountain City.

"I, Ye Yinping, are in charge of this reinforcement operation."

In the team, an old acquaintance of Xu Fei who volunteered to come here introduced himself briefly, and then introduced the other six accompanying people in turn.

"The night is coming, do you want to take a rest and eat something first? We have prepared a banquet to welcome the wind. However, the conditions in the small place are poor, and I hope you will forgive me." Niu Yin stretched out his hand to make room for the temporary camp.

"No need, we've already used dry food on the way, so let's start working as soon as possible."

Among the three talisman masters, the bald old man who was the leader waved his hands disapprovingly, rejecting Niu Yin's kindness.After all, what good food can such a small place have?

In fact, Niu Yin was more anxious than them. Hearing what the three said, he was naturally happy to see the success.Dang even rushed to Xu Fei's room with a few people.

"Because of the advance of the new round of invasion, in order to hurry up, we had to temporarily entrust an alien talisman master to help build the substrate of the first fire altar. The place we are going now is the residence of that alien talisman master. Complete the handover After that, I will assign tasks to everyone according to the situation." Niu Yin introduced the situation while leading the way.

"Foreigner Talisman?"

The bald old man in the lead shook his head again and again. It is quite difficult to manufacture such a design drawing with a new idea.Especially the most core boards, even he, a senior talisman master who has been immersed in the way of talismans for more than 40 years, is very difficult to make.Still the same sentence, what kind of talents can be produced in such a small place?

In his opinion, Niu Yin had gone to the doctor in a hurry.I'm afraid that those alien talisman masters not only failed to make a few pieces of finished products, but also wasted a lot of materials because of random attempts.

"An alien talisman master? But Zhao Yi?"

Ye Yinping on the other side immediately thought of someone.

Niu Yin was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Have you heard of this person's reputation?"

Ye Yinping touched the remaining scars on his body and smiled slightly: "Not only have I heard about it, but I have also fought side by side with him."

If it was him, Ye Yinping would immediately feel a little more confident.

Ye Yinping's attitude surprised the bald old man a little.But he didn't say much, because soon the facts would speak for themselves.
