Chapter 102: The smooth assassination scene! Stunned players: Is it really that smooth?
"Hey, Uncle Fu."
Xu Mu found a little girl named Fu Bo, who was wearing a simple gray long skirt, in a corner of Kaia Island with ease.
In the original story, this little girl grew up with the game's official protagonist Cassandra (later called Sister Ka) on Kea Island. Both of them were orphans without parents and were taken in by the profiteer Marcos as child laborers.
She is the NPC that opens the initial main storyline in the game, and this is also the purpose of Xu Mu coming to find her this time.
"Are you a foreign mercenary? I have never seen you on Kaia Island before." Uncle Fu put his hands on his hips and looked up at Xu Mu generously.
"None of this is important. I know you, and I also know a lot of things that happened on Kaia Island." Xu Mu shrugged and smiled, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"So you're short of bounty missions? But, you need information..." Before Uncle Fu finished his words, Xu Mu took out a small purse, tossed it in his hand, and then threw it to her.
Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Since you are so sincere, I will..."
Xu Mu interrupted again: "Marcos is in the vineyard, I know."
Uncle Fu's eyes widened in disbelief.
This foreign mercenary is so strange!
How could he know what I was going to say when I hadn't even finished speaking?
Looking at Xu Mu's departing figure, Uncle Fu added loudly: "The vineyard is in..."
"I know, it's in the southern part of the island. See you later." Xu Mu waved his hand and left.
Only Uncle Fu was left standing there, disheveled in the wind.
…
[Congratulations on accepting the important side quest 'Cassandra's House Trivia'! 】
When Xu Mu left, the copy reminder sound finally came, which made Xu Mu breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that my actions were correct. A long-term task has been activated, and I won't have to worry about having tasks in the future.
The biggest difference between the dungeon and the game is that Sister Ka is not played by a player. The 10,000 players on Kaia Island are all mercenaries from other places in the dungeon.
And because players no longer play the role of Sister Ka, there is no such thing as a main storyline in the dungeon for players.
All missions are side quests.
There are only ordinary branches, special branches, or important branches.
Completing tasks can provide players with a large amount of level experience, and skill points can be obtained after the level is increased.
It can be said that the efficiency of completing tasks and upgrading is much faster than other players killing NPC soldiers of hostile forces.
Among them, important branch quests provide the most experience and rewards.
Completing an important side quest is more than equivalent to killing 100 NPC soldiers, saving time and effort.
After figuring out the direction in the noisy town, Xu Mu walked in the opposite direction of the vineyard.
In the game plot, the player needs to control Sister Ka to meet the profiteer Marcos first.
Then Marcos will tell him that the money he owes to Sister Ka has been lent out at high interest rates, and that the other party is a ruthless person who refuses to repay the debt.
Sister Ka needs to find the debtor and can choose to warn or assassinate him to get back her own capital.
Xu Mu chose to take a shortcut, skipping the meeting with Marcos and completing the task first.
Soon, he found the debtor who was selling fruit at the entrance of a chaotic market.
The other party is doing business with the guests.
Xu Mu walked straight forward and pulled out the level 1 novice weapon given by the system, a white spear.
Then he patted the guest on the shoulder.
"Brother, please move aside for a moment. I'll take care of something."
Immediately, under the puzzled looks of both the guest and the debtor.
Xu Mu reached out his big hand, grabbed the debtor's hair, and thrust the spear into his chest!
“Puff!”
Blood splattered everywhere, and the debtor fell to the ground dead before he could even figure out what was happening.
Xu Mu bent down and took out a bag of heavy gold coins from his pocket.
"Okay, continue to choose. If you like something, just buy it for free." Xu Mu patted the customer's shoulder, smiled at him, and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.
…
"Next, it's a hidden cave above the west coast pier of Kaia Island." Xu Mu thought to himself, and headed towards his destination with the blood-stained spear in hand.
Here, he met Uncle Fu again.
He was kidnapped by a local criminal group, who wanted to threaten Marcos to pay a ransom, otherwise they would kill him.
According to the normal timeline, Uncle Fu was kidnapped after the player met him for the first time to start the mission.
However, players need to complete several mission processes in a row and keep returning to Kaeya Island.
Therefore, after receiving the task of [Rescuing Uncle Fu], it felt like a long time had passed.
It's not like Xu Mu, who just met Uncle Fu and then saw her being kidnapped in another place.
The process is a bit messy, so it looks weird.
But none of this matters to Xu Mu.
What he needs is to complete the task as quickly as possible!
Uncle Fu is indeed a wild child who grew up with Sister Ka. He was not afraid at all when facing the threat of kidnapping and murder. He kept shouting even when he was tied up.
"Malaca! Cassandra will not let you go! Your bodies will rot and stink like slaughtered wild boars!"
"Really? Then let me see her bravery." The kidnapper sharpened the blade in his hand, walked up to Uncle Fu, and put the blade against her neck: "Little brat, you have to know that you are worthless. If you keep talking nonsense, I will cut off your tongue."
Uncle Fu suddenly became quiet because she saw Xu Mu slowly approaching and made a gesture to her to keep quiet with his hand.
The kidnapper thought his threat had worked and smiled with satisfaction.
suddenly.
The sharp spear pierced his chest directly.
Xu Mu pulled out the spear from his chest expressionlessly and untied Fu Bo.
"Mercenary, how did you know I was here?" Uncle Fu seemed very surprised and happy: "Your fighting power is almost catching up with Cassandra! I really should let you two meet each other sometime, but it's strange that she disappeared just now."
"I'm just passing by." Xu Mu said with a smile.
"I feel like you are very different from the other mercenaries on Kaia Island." Uncle Fu frowned and thought deeply, then said, "I don't know how to describe it. You are like those wise men who have traveled the world and seen everything... or should I say, a prophet? You seem to know what I want to say, and you seem to know what will happen next."
Of course, otherwise all the platinum badges that you worked so hard to get in your previous life would have been wasted?
While Xu Mu was thinking to himself, he heard Uncle Fu speak.
"Oh, by the way, thank you for saving me this time. I'll give this to you."
As she spoke, she took out a small whistle and handed it to Xu Mu: "Just blow it, and my tamed falcon Ika will appear. It will help you solve a lot of unnecessary troubles."
Hearing this, Xu Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.
It was unlocked here?
In the original work, the falcon Ika appears with the protagonist.
And the functions are very powerful.
Summons a falcon to hover in the sky and look down.
Not only can he easily find some treasure points with his eagle eyes, but he can also quickly understand the distribution of soldiers in a city and effectively arrange the order of assassinations.
In the dungeon, each player was not equipped with a falcon.
After the copy disabled the players' special abilities, the Eye of the Blue Sky was also blocked, and Xu Mu could only see what he could see.
But with the Falcon, it's even more powerful.
"Thank you." The moment Xu Mu took the whistle, it turned into a ray of light and merged into the copy's light screen.
You can summon and control the falcon just by thinking about it, it's simple and convenient.
"Are you going to go for training again?" Uncle Fu asked when he saw Xu Mu standing up.
"To be precise, it was just a matter of chance that I passed by one thing after another." Xu Mu smiled and winked at Uncle Fu.
"Just happened to pass by..." Uncle Fu murmured a few words, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I like this saying!"
But, when she looked up again.
The person in front of him had already left , and the fluttering white piece of clothing had also disappeared.
…
After bidding farewell to Uncle Fu, Xu Mu once again embarked on the journey of a new mission.
According to memory.
What we have to do this time is to steal a night-shining pearl made of precious gemstone from the one-eyed man's mansion.
The person who issued the task this time was the profiteer Marcos, but Xu Mu did not accept the task and went to the one-eyed man's mansion first.
He planned to complete all the main mission events in his memory in one go, and then submit them to Marcos at one time.
It can save a lot of time traveling back and forth.
The one-eyed man Clay is a well-known bully on Kea Island. He almost controls the entire foreign trade and transportation economy of Kea Island, and he often commits crimes of burning, killing and looting.
As a remote and independent island, Kea Island does not belong to any country. Apart from the occasional mercenaries from other places who come to complete tasks, it has almost no decent armed military force.
If we have to count them, the seven or eight strong sailors under Clay are already the largest force in the area.
In other words, Clay is almost equivalent to the leader of Kea Island.
This is a risky business.
According to what Xu Mu learned, Clay is a boss of level eight.
However, because Xu Mu has accumulated a lot of completed tasks that have not yet been submitted, his current level is still only level 1.
In "Assassin's Creed", there will be greater resistance when killing enemies above your level. The higher the level difference, the lower the damage to the target.
However, Xu Mu, who had a 250% assassination bonus, was not afraid at all.
He carried the spear across his back and hurried on, and soon arrived outside the residence of the one-eyed man Clay.
Summon Ika to take a bird's eye view of the mansion.
It was exactly what Xu Mu expected.
The burly one-eyed man Clay was resting in the mansion at this time, and his attributes were also revealed under Ika's insight.
[Kaia Island One-Eyed Man Clay (BOSS)]
Attack: 130
Defense: 80
HP: 1000
…
Xu Mu looked at the worn-out level 1 spear in his hand again.
Attack power is only 8~13
Under normal circumstances, if you ignore the opponent's defense and slash wildly, and each time it is a critical damage, you will need to slash 76.9 times.
Every blow of the sword avoided the vital points.
What's more, the opponent has a defense of up to 80 points.
This broken sword can't even break the opponent's defense.
If you only hit 1 drop of blood each time, you will have to chop 1,000 times.
If we fight like this, it won’t be a matter of avoiding the vital points.
This is the back scrubber.
But, that’s not how it’s calculated.
Assassination and sneak attack damage first has a very important prerequisite - ignoring defense.
As long as the assassination is successful, the sword strike can protect countless armors.
Moreover, assassination damage itself is 300% higher than normal attack.
The faction bonus is calculated additionally.
In other words, the damage of a stealth attack is 13*3=49, plus 50% of the faction bonus damage.
49+49*0.5=74
This damage must be multiplied by the 200% coefficient bonus of the assassin mentor as the supreme leader of the camp.
The actual damage has soared to 150!
Is there still room for improvement?
Of course!
Xu Mu immediately opened his skill panel.
In the Assassin column, all the three skill points given initially were selected as [Shadow Assassin]
The effect is to increase the assassination damage by an additional 40%, the critical damage by 50%, and directly restore one energy bar after a successful assassination.
After quickly calculating the damage in his mind, Xu Mu climbed up a rockery next to the mansion.
Suddenly, he saw three sneaky shadows crouching there, with IDs and level prompts hanging above their heads.
Obviously, I met a player.
All three of them were at level 3, and were currently gathered together, discussing in low voices.
"According to the gossip I just heard from the NPC, there is a priceless gem hidden in this mansion! If we sell it, we can get at least 5,000 gold coins! Then we won't have to worry about strengthening our weapons."
"It's not just about strengthening weapons, you can even get a decent set of defensive gear to wear."
"Tsk, tsk, it smells so good."
"Don't think too much about it. The BOSS here is level 8. The damage we have can't break his defense... If we fail, we will die in the dungeon..."
"Are you stupid? Who said we were going to kill the boss? Can you please read the name of this dungeon again for me?"
"Assassin's Creed?"
"Yes! I said assassin! Does your assassin fight the boss openly? Doesn't he do some sneaky tricks?"
"Too."
"Besides, let alone the BOSS, even if we three join forces, we can't beat even one of these level 7 or 8 guards. You want to kill the BOSS, are you crazy?"
"Listen to me, wait a little longer. When night falls, their guards will take turns. We will follow this route to avoid their sight..."
Before the three of them finished their discussion, they suddenly heard footsteps beside them.
The three of them immediately looked up in alert, thinking they had been discovered by the NPC.
Finally, after seeing the eye-catching player level mark above Xu Mu's head, he felt relieved.
He's just a level 1 player, nothing to be afraid of.
The three of them didn't even bother to pay attention to Xu Mu, but moved to the side.
Are you kidding me? The three of us are already level 3 players, and we’re going to do big things!
How could a level 1 player like you eavesdrop on such a secret plan?
Go away, go away!
This thought just occurred to the three of them.
Then I saw that level 1 player really walked away.
But the way of leaving was a little special.
They stared at the level 1 player.
He jumped directly from the rockery and jumped into the mansion.
“He he he…he jumped in???” A player almost screamed, but his companion covered his mouth tightly to suppress the sound.
"Don't scream so loudly! Do you want to die?"
"But... how dare he?! He's only level one!" The player who panicked at first gestured helplessly, as if he could hardly believe the facts before his eyes.
"And the spear in his hand is the novice spear given in the first instance. He didn't even plan the route. Isn't it just a free gift..."
"That's his business, it has nothing to do with us." The older player scolded coldly, and then turned his gaze to the mansion at the foot of the mountain: "There are too many good things in the S+ level copy. There are always greedy people who can't see the reality and want to get rich at the risk of their lives..."
Before he could finish his words, the sound was stuck in the older player's throat as if it had encountered resistance.
Not only him, but also the other two companions were all staring at what was happening in the mansion below as if they had seen a ghost.
The man in white robes skillfully rolled on the ground to relieve the impact the moment he landed, making almost no sound.
After landing smoothly, he crouched and swam quickly behind a patrolling guard.
He half-bent his body to cover the guard's mouth, the spear in his hand was given a strange luster by the [Shadow Assassin].
"Puff!" In an instant, it went straight into the opponent's chest.
-
331!
The damage numbers appear in bright gold that only the player can see.
The exaggerated damage instantly kills the guard!
Then, he gently placed the guard's body on the ground and began to move towards the second guard along the wall...
The entire assassination process was smooth and extremely smooth.
There wasn't even any big noise.
He did not make any unnecessary movements, all his actions were serving one ultimate goal, which was - a successful assassination!
It was as easy as if an experienced top assassin was teaching a novice.
"What the hell?" At this moment, the three people on the rockery who were still watching the show all had their eyes wide open, and their eyes were filled with strong shock as they looked at each other.
Is this the kind of damage and operation that a level 1 player can produce? ?
