Chapter 24: Eastern Capital
To be honest, 10,000 gold coins plus 500,000 blue coins seemed to be a bargain. After all, the starting price for a green level 10 cape was 10,000 gold coins in the morning. The secretary spent 50,000 gold coins to buy one.
His blue cloak is much better than the one on the secretary. If it is put on the auction house, it may be sold at a higher price.
However, Zhang Shan did not bargain with Feng Ling. First of all, the current prices are very unstable. The secretary spent 50,000 gold coins because she was in urgent need of it, otherwise she would not have bought such an expensive item. If she bid slowly, it would probably only cost more than 10,000 gold coins, and there was a greater possibility that it would fail to sell.
His fine silk cape was a level 15 piece of equipment, and no one was eager to buy it. Although it had better properties, it was harder to sell. So Feng Ling's price was acceptable.
When the cooldown of returning to the city was over, Zhang Shan immediately read the bar to return to the city. At the entrance of the exchange, he traded the cloak to Feng Ling.
"I will transfer the blue coins to you after I log off."
"No problem, I'll teleport to Dongdu first, I hope there will be some gains."
"Good luck."
After parting with Feng Ling, Zhang Shan teleported to the Dangyang City Teleportation Hall and chose to teleport to Dongdu.
Although he already knew the teleportation fee, Zhang Shan still felt a pang of pain. The 10,000 gold coins he had just received were gone before he could even warm them up. He only had a dozen gold coins left in his hand.
With a flash of white light, Zhang Shan was teleported to Dongdu City, the residence of the Emperor of Great Zhou.
System: Welcome to Dongdu. Since you are the first player to come to Dongdu, you will be awarded +1 skill point.
System announcement: Since the player Liuguan Bodhisattva was the first to arrive in Dongdu, he will be awarded +1 skill point.
Before he had time to observe Dongdu, Zhang Shan was confused by the system prompt. Would the first person to arrive in the capital be awarded skill points? And there was also a system announcement? He was afraid that he would become famous.
As soon as the announcement came out, the world channel exploded.
"Shit, I'm the first one to go to Dongdu City. Is there a skill point reward? I would have gone there earlier. I lost a skill point. Ahhh."
"Boss Liuguan really knows how to have fun. He spent 10,000 gold coins to travel to Dongdu."
"What's wrong with traveling? If people had known that there were skill points to be gained, a lot of people would be willing to spend money to go."
"Then the question is, the first person to go to the East Capital will get a skill point reward, so do you think the first person to go to the West Capital will get any reward?"
"Bullshit, I'm already in Xidu, there's nothing going on, forget it, just treat it as a trip, I'll just wander around first."
"You are so proud, big man."
"Looks like we need to form a staff group and study the exploration mechanism of the new world carefully. Maybe we can get some rewards."
"You are all rich people. You are actually spending money to chat here. One gold coin costs five blue coins, which is enough for me to have breakfast. Oh no, I don't have money for breakfast tomorrow."
Zhang Shan couldn't help laughing after casually looking at the chats of the world's big guys. The reward of a skill point was also an unexpected gain. With this skill point, he already had three skill points saved. Taming was not upgraded for the time being, so he kept it for a while to see if there was a chance to get a powerful skill book to use .
Walking out of the Dongdu Teleportation Hall, Zhang Shan carefully looked at the capital. To the north of the city, a group of luxurious palaces were scattered around, and purple air was rising above the palaces.
That should be the palace where the emperor lived. He had not seen the palace of the King of Chu, but he saw the palace of the King of Zhou first. I don't know how to describe its magnificence, but it is countless times more shocking than the ancient palaces in TV dramas.
Zhang Shan found the location of Master Lu through the map. As a legendary master, his location was easy to find. In the Great Zhou Workshop, the East Capital City was huge, and the Great Zhou Workshop was not close to the Teleportation Hall. It was on the east side of the city. Fortunately, you can teleport in the city. The setting of the New World is really good, saving players a lot of time running errands.
However, when Zhang Shan used teleportation, he found that he was still in the same place.
What's going on?
I tried teleporting again. It still didn't move. What the hell was going on? Did the capital city not allow teleportation?
Zhang Shan looked at the prompt and found that the player level was not high enough to use teleportation in Dongdu City.
Damn it, is there a level limit for using teleportation? What should I do? The distance is so far, it will take less than an hour to run.
Zhang Shan was speechless, but he still ran towards the Da Zhou Workshop. He couldn't fight the system, could he? If I told you to run, you had to run. You couldn't just go back, otherwise it would be a wasted trip.
On the wide streets of Dongdu, there were all kinds of NPCs, people, and traffic, but Zhang Shan was running forward. From time to time, some high-level NPCs passed by him in sedan chairs or on horseback.
Oh, it's so boring just running around, it would be great if I could hang up. Of course, this is impossible.
As he ran, he opened various chat channels out of boredom. Other members of the guild were still working hard to level up, and occasionally some big guys would come out to chat on the world channel, but as for the regional channel, it was quiet, and there should be no other player in the entire East Capital City.
It’s better to browse the forum. Time may pass faster if you browse the forum.
Entering the forum, there are countless paid and free posts, but compared to when it first started yesterday, the content on the forum is now much richer .
There are quite a few monster maps, as well as information about various bosses, various monster-killing and upgrade strategies, various professional skills, etc.
Zhang Shan clicked on a paid post introducing the hunter's professional skills. It cost ten copper coins, a small amount that was not worth mentioning.
He was quite curious about what skills hunters had. As for the skills of this profession, he currently only had one novice skill: headshot and taming, and he had never seen the others.
I clicked on the post and saw that it was a fake title. There were only two or three descriptions of hunter professional skills. Are hunters so few skills? This must be a scam.
Needless to say, Zhang Shan learned taming himself, but what the poster wrote is also interesting. Taming skill books are difficult to obtain, but finding suitable monsters for taming is even more difficult. Currently, not many players have successfully tamed pets, and most of the tamed pets are weak and completely useless.
The poster specifically mentioned the Six-Tube Bodhisattva of Dangyang City, which is Zhang Shan himself. He said that his baby is not only cute, but also seems to have good attributes. At least many people have seen him killing monsters with his baby.
Alas, I have actually become the child of other people's family in the eyes of others, and I feel a little happy.
Another skill is Frenzy, which increases the attack speed. When used at level one, it can increase the hunter's attack speed by 10%. When it reaches level ten, it can increase the attack speed by 100%. The duration is six seconds and the cooldown time is five minutes.
A very powerful burst skill, especially in PK, it is equivalent to instantly doubling the output and doubling the attack speed. The initial attack interval of the hunter is originally shorter than that of other professions, and it is even faster after using frenzy. If someone hits you once, you can fight back two or three times. As long as you are not stunned by the control skills, who can beat you in terms of damage with the same equipment?
Although the duration is only six seconds and the cooling time is five minutes, it is enough. In most PKs, the outcome can be decided in a few seconds. Six seconds is really manly.
The last skill is actually a passive one. It seems that the hunter profession is a profession with many passive skills in the new world. It complements his passive king talent, hehe.
Eagle Eye: Increases field of vision, perception and attack distance. The first-level skill increases by 2%, and the maximum increase is 20%.
This is a super practical skill. Zhang Shan is drooling after seeing the description. Although this skill can neither increase damage output nor increase health or defense, the field of view, perception and range are too important. You can see farther than others and shoot farther than others. With enhanced perception, you are not afraid of sneak attacks at all.
If you discover the enemy first, you will have the priority to choose whether to fight or run. What a powerful skill. However, the poster also said that this skill should be extremely rare. Currently, there is only one skill book in the entire game, and it has been bought by a big shot at a huge price. As for who bought it, there is no explanation.
The skills of other professions can also be found in various posts. For example, the Spell Swordsman seems to have little presence at the moment, but there are posts introducing that someone has obtained a skill book, Sword Dance, which attacks enemies all around at the same time, which is much stronger than the Berserker's Sweep.
Some archers have the meteor arrow skill. If the target is hit, the target will be stunned for five seconds, which is very scary. Moreover, the meteor arrow can be cast from a very far distance. Of course, this skill also has an obvious weakness, which is that it cannot lock onto the target. In other words, when you see the meteor arrow coming, you have a chance to dodge it. This tests the player's operation and reaction ability.
The thief has a three-second stun skill, which Zhang Shan has experienced. There is also a one-person quick-travel skill, which doubles the movement speed for a short period of time, and backstabs and attacks from behind to increase damage, which doubles the damage at full level.
It can be said that if a thief now learns these three skills, he will definitely be extremely powerful, run fast, have high damage, and be able to stun. No one can resist him. However, this is impossible. Even if there is a skill book, there are not enough skill points to upgrade. If the skill level is not high, the improvement will not be much, and the advantage will not be obvious.
There is no need to talk about the guardian warrior. Secretary Fengyun's Guardian Heart skill is now known to the world. It has been announced in the system twice, and others have also found out about his skills. When the skill is fully upgraded, the blood volume doubles. If he stands there, others probably won't want to hit him because he is too tanky. He also has a shield strike skill, which can stun for one second and can forcefully attract hatred. It is a must-have skill for tanks.
Berserker is a popular profession, but it is not very powerful now. The only skills known to everyone are charge and sweep. Charge is a skill shared with guardian warriors, which is a bit unworthy of the name. It is probably because no one has brushed out the powerful skill book yet, after all, the game has only been launched for two days.
The Ice Mage has Freeze and Freeze Star. Freeze can stun the target for three seconds, and Freeze Star can slow down the group. If the skills are maxed out, the slowing effect is very good, reducing the target's movement speed by 50%. It is very powerful, especially in team battles and PK. It is also practical for killing monsters. As for the Ice Mage's output skills, no one has revealed them yet.
A fire mage got a copy of Heart of Fire, which is a passive skill. At level 10 it can increase fire damage by 50%. It is extremely powerful. With the same equipment, this skill can directly increase the damage by half compared to others.
It's a very scary skill, and it's a passive one, which means there is no magic consumption and skill cooldown. The passive improvement of the mage is the scariest. Some people estimate that the ice mage should also have a similar skill, but it has not been revealed yet.
Some fire mages have also gleaned the Earth Fire skill book, which increases damage by 100% when fully upgraded. This skill can kill squishy targets in one second, but it also consumes a lot of magic. Level one consumes 200 magic points, and level ten consumes 2,000 magic points. The cooldown time is one minute, and it is a very strong output skill.
As for Taoist priests and witch doctors, there is not much to say. They do have output skills, but the ones that have appeared so far are not very powerful. For example, Feng Ling's lightning technique is only equivalent to a novice skill of a fire mage.
These two professions mainly rely on adding blood and reviving teammates, especially the resurrection skill. Whoever learns resurrection will be the pillar of strength.
Now many players in the forum are discussing how to get more skill points. It is not enough to just add one skill point after each level up. A practical skill, especially a damage skill, must be maxed out. One skill requires ten skill points, and two skills require twenty skill points. It is not known how long it will take to reach level 20, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to increase the levels later.
There are two ways to obtain skill points: one is to be the first to kill an orange Boss or above. In addition to the Fengyun Guild which has killed two orange Bosses, there are also player organizations in other cities that have killed them and obtained skill points, but the way to obtain them is too narrow and most players do not have that opportunity.
Some people speculate that even if you are not the first to kill the Red Boss, you may still get skill points. However, now let alone killing the Red Boss, no one has even seen it.
There are quite a few posts on the forum about discovering red bosses, but they are all title files. Seeing the large red dots on the map, people guessed that there might be a red boss inside. However, no one has ever actually seen it, because before they can get far, they will be killed by a large group of monsters.
As for another way to obtain skill points, it is to trigger the new mechanism, like Zhang Shan, who is the first to enter Dongdu City, the first to leave the Novice Village in Fengyun Tianxia, and so on. This type of thing is even rarer. In short, skill points are difficult to obtain, so use them with caution.
