Chapter 39: Raising a baby dragonfly! First day of survival, cruel elimination rate!
"I didn't expect that the hidden reward would be the fire extinguisher?" After Xu Mu had just cleared out the pigmen and smashed the Grom statue, he raised his eyebrows when he looked at the extra rewards in his backpack.
It seems that the luck value of 8 points still has an effect.
The luck value is not very important under normal circumstances.
However, even if I got SSS evaluation several times, I would only get 1~3 points when the copy was settled.
Xu Mu guessed it was quite valuable.
I didn't expect it to work here.
In addition, 50 additional sets of stone walls were given.
Although stone walls are not very valuable, there are small stones to pick up everywhere on the roadside.
Three stones can be combined into a stone brick, and two stone bricks can be combined into a stone wall.
It is a relatively crude early stage building.
But being able to give out rewards directly saves Xu Mu the time of collecting stones, which is quite good.
There is no real such thing as home in a famine.
Build a bonfire, put boxes in place, and place props on the ground, and this area becomes your home.
Surrounding your home with stone walls can prevent hyena attacks in the early stages.
Of course, Xu Mu needed the stone wall not for foundation construction.
Instead, he planned to kill the dragon fly cleverly!
The difficulty of tearing a dragon fly apart with normal hands is quite high even in the games of the previous life.
And you need to prepare a large amount of armor, weapons, food and supplies.
I'm afraid I'll have to run around for these materials throughout the entire autumn, not to mention preparing materials for the winter in advance.
This is not a game, Xu Mu doesn't have that much time to prepare miscellaneous things.
"In this way, the materials for killing dragon flies are ready. We can start building the stone wall." While there is still some time at night, it will take some time for the dragon fly to fly over from the area where it is.
It’s a good time to build!
Xu Mu searched for an open area with a torch.
Start creating the terrain for attacking the BOSS later.
Take the stone wall out of your backpack and gently stick it into the ground.
A stone pillar was used to fix it. It was very strong and could not be broken even by kicking.
Next, the stone walls were arranged in a rice transplanting style, expanding the stone pillars into a thick wall in a straight line.
Under normal circumstances, this wall would be enough.
However, to be on the safe side, Xu Mu built a square wall to surround himself, leaving only a small exit at the back.
After all, if you fail in a game, you can start over again, but if you fail in a copy, the punishment is much more severe. At the very least, you will not be able to get rewards, and at the worst, you may lose your life.
The more stable the better!
After the fence was completed, Xu Mu picked up some hay from the surrounding area and laid it in a full circle around the wall.
After putting on the pigskin soft armor and pigskin hat, the defense is greatly enhanced.
He also placed a strange-looking fire extinguisher in the center of the wall.
The fire extinguisher in Don't Starve is very different from the real one, with a semi-circular mechanical shell and a small bunch of antenna-like instruments on top.
Looks bulky and honest.
But it is very smart to use.
The effect is to automatically monitor the surrounding environment within a certain range and quickly extinguish non-living combustion objects that have caught fire.
At this moment, I could hear the buzzing sound of a dragon fly getting closer and closer.
Taking advantage of the last bit of time, Xu Mu built a bonfire of wood and roasted all the meat in his backpack into steaks.
This will be used to eat and fight while fighting with the BOSS later.
The amount of hunger restored by food in Don't Starve varies greatly, with cooked food restoring more than raw food, and also restoring a small portion of health.
In the early stage when there is no special blood medicine, you can use cooked meat products to supplement it.
"After I go back this time, I will make a cooking pot so that I don't have to eat charcoal-grilled food anymore. If I eat too much, the taste will inevitably become a bit greasy." Xu Mu thought to himself.
Of course, if the majority of players who currently have no raw food to eat and can only show off their petals heard his thoughts of "meat is a bit boring", they would definitely curse.
Are you kidding me? I clicked on this, so I'll share it with you!
Finally, when Xu Mu was ready to go.
A huge dragon fly came flying towards them, flapping its wings.
It has the characteristics of a fly-like species, with a pair of transparent wings like cicada wings on its back.
A pair of huge compound eyes and mouthparts that are very insect-like.
But at the same time, its appearance looks like a hovering dragon, with strong and powerful arms and claws rich in muscle protein.
The dragon scales on its body are sparkling, and there is a row of inverted triangle-shaped dragon ridges on its back.
As it flew along, molten lava continued to drip from the tail wing, igniting the soil beneath its feet.
The extremely high temperature soon caused lava hot springs to seep out of the surface one after another.
Just like the wax dripping game in the alphabet circle, it insults the earth.
Xu Mu held a ham stick in his hand and stared at the dragon fly that was flying towards him.
This guy looks a lot more intimidating in person than he does in the game.
When man and insect met, Xu Mu first tried to withstand a wave of attacks from the dragon fly.
I found that only 10% of my health was lost.
The resistance provided by the double armor of soft armor and soft hat is quite considerable.
Eating a piece of pork chop restored 5% of the total blood line.
After roughly figuring out the damage of the dragon fly, Xu Mu started to take on 95% of the health and pulled out the ham stick and smashed it hard.
You can't see the health of the dragon fly in the copy, but based on my previous experience of playing Don't Starve, I can tell you about it.
This type of large-scale dungeon BOSS usually has health points above w+.
The ham stick's attack power is only 60 points.
Even if you smash it with all your might, it will take hundreds of hits to kill it.
Fortunately, the seasonal BOSS in the dungeon is not too difficult in terms of mechanism. You can just pull it over and fight it safely. Hit it a few times and then dodge back before the BOSS's attack. After its round of attack is over, you can get close and chop it with your sword.
A simpler and more brutal way is just like what Xu Mu is doing now, without any fancy techniques.
Just stand there and do it!
He and the BOSS fought separately.
I punch you and you kick me.
If everyone loses blood, it is equivalent to no one losing blood.
Oh, it turns out I have recovery items, but the boss doesn’t?
That's okay.
The famous scientist Albert Einstein once mentioned in his book Theory of Relativity: When I add blood and you lose blood, it is equivalent to you losing double the blood.
Yeah, nothing wrong.
Of course, don’t think that Xu Mu’s fighting style is disorganized and seems to be random.
But not everyone can be so reckless.
Being able to defeat the BOSS on the first day of survival requires quite demanding prerequisites.
Not to mention that the ham stick is difficult to get, two pieces of armor are also very important, as well as sufficient reserves of meat ingredients, so that you can continuously replenish your blood while fighting with the BOSS.
In addition, you need a pan flute to attract the BOSS, otherwise you have to explore and find the BOSS's activity range.
Just getting all of this done is already quite tedious.
but!
However, even if a player is lucky enough to collect all of them, it is just the beginning.
These preparations can only reduce 25% of the boss's health.
For example, right now.
Xu Mu used his endless ham-slashing skills to slash the dragonfly's health to 1/4 in a short time.
At this moment, the dragon fly roared angrily, flapped its wings and ran away.
The movement speed is so fast that it is impossible to catch up.
And out of sight and out of view.
All you could hear was a series of gurgling sounds like boiling water.
Soon, one after another, magma eggs and worms emerged from the lava "hot springs" and rushed forward on the ground at a rapid speed.
They were covered in flames, and even the paths they passed by were set on fire.
Obviously, this is Dragonfly's ultimate attack.
At this time, the wall built by Xu Mu finally came in handy.
These walls are not designed to stop the attacks of dragon flies.
Dragon flies can fly, and walls are ineffective.
But the magma eggs and worms that can only crawl will be completely blocked outside the wall!
A group of insects swarmed around but were unable to enter. They were very anxious and their originally hard bodies became a little soft.
Moreover, the flames emanating from his body ignited the hay that Xu Mu had laid out in advance.
A raging fire broke out!
The fire extinguisher placed in the center was like being touched. It instantly raised the small antenna on its head and started working!
The way it puts out fire is not by spitting water.
Instead, he quickly made snowballs and threw them one by one towards the fire.
Although Xu Mu was also wondering why this thing could put out fire.
But the end result was that the surrounding circle of fire larvae were quickly extinguished by the cold snowballs.
Without the protection of flame armor, the air at normal temperature is deadly cold to them!
They died one by one chirping.
"If there weren't walls and fire extinguishers, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the BOSS's ultimate move this round. These bugs are even more ferocious than those in the game." Xu Mu thought to himself.
As long as the players are approached by these magma eggs, their whole bodies will be set on fire.
The blood volume will also drop rapidly.
A large amount of food and blood medicine are needed to maintain the blood line and withstand the boss's ultimate move.
But now, Xu Mu was unharmed.
After easily defeating these egg worms, the dragon fly entered a violent stage, and a raging fire burned all over its body! It flapped its wings again and swooped down towards Xu Mu!
At this moment, its attack, defense and health have all been doubled!
If he took the attack head-on, even Xu Mu, who was wearing double protective gear, would lose more than 20% of his health.
What’s more, for other players who are not fully clothed, this blow might cost them half their lives.
He flipped his hand and instantly took out a pan flute from his backpack.
Start blowing!
The melodious lullaby instantly put Dragonfly into a baby-like sleep.
The fire extinguisher started working again, and after putting out the flames around the dragon fly, it returned to its calm state.
Xu Mu looked at its peacefully sleeping body, raised the hard and thick stick in his hand high, and smashed it down with great force!
Cucumber skull crushing kill!
Bang!
The BOSS was awakened instantly, and with a strange roar, he started a fierce battle with Xu Mu again!
However, there are only a few points that require attention when dealing with the autumn BOSS Dragon Fly, and Xu Mu has easily resolved them all.
Its death is only a matter of time.
The next step is to continue this process repeatedly. A total of four sets will be enough to deal with this big guy.
While killing the BOSS, Xu Mu even had time to check out the built-in channel chat.
It's just that he just opened the built-in channel.
Then I saw a statistical prompt in bold font.
【The first day of survival ends! 】
[Number of remaining surviving players: 563]
[About 83% of players died of hunger]
[About 10% died of mental disorders]
[About 6% died from monster attacks]
[About 1% died from various strange attempts]
"Wow, almost half of the people were eliminated..." Xu Mu exclaimed inwardly in surprise.
The difficulty of the survival copy is indeed well-deserved.
However, recalling the time when he first played Don't Starve, Xu Mu was not surprised.
The biggest difficulty of this copy is that there is no guidance for novices!
Whether it is obtaining food, making tools, hunting monsters, or other attribute introductions, there is none in the copy!
It completely requires players to explore on their own.
Players with no experience will either starve to death when they first start playing, or they will not know how to make a fire during the day, and they will not be able to see anything in the dark at night, and their sanity will drop rapidly and they will be scared to death by ghosts.
I couldn't even make it through the first day.
Those who were able to survive had all spent money to purchase the basic introductory skills of Don't Starve.
Soon, the sky gradually changed from night to day.
finally.
"roar!!!"
Facing the rising sun, the dragon fly, with only a trace of blood left, let out a wail and fell to the ground.
The built-in channel also sends out kill notifications simultaneously.
[Player 'A' has defeated the autumn boss - Angry Dragonfly! Obtained the first kill reward for this round of dungeon: Ancient Lantern*1, Razor*1, Patterned Ground*20]
The channel has another earthquake.
【? ? ? ?】
[Killing indiscriminately like this? ]
[Oh my god! The first day just ended and the autumn boss was defeated? ? Am I dreaming? ]
[Good guy! Even the bad girl couldn't get an abortion as fast as him! ]
[It's him again! It was this 'A' who killed 20 pigmen in a row just now! The boss is bored! ]
[Too cruel... Big man, can you give me a ride? 】
[This is almost as good as the pale boss! ]
【Pale: Haha, just so-so.】
[Is this just average? Does Cangbai have any advice? ]
[Pale: There are ruins in this instance, and there is a very low chance of getting a peerless weapon. He defeated the BOSS on the first day, so he was lucky to have picked up a peerless weapon. However, even the strongest weapons have durability, and the durability will be worn out after defeating the BOSS. Without a top-notch strategy like mine, I can't say how far he can go.]
[Hmm...it seems to make sense.]
[Indeed, from a logical point of view, without a weapon that can kill the boss instantly, it is impossible to defeat it. An uncle of mine from a distant place prepared 100 sets of big tanks and a bunch of armor and protective gear, but he only reduced 1/3 of the dragonfly's health.]
[So difficult? Looks like I was really lucky to have touched a peerless weapon...]
[I still prefer the 60% completion strategy of Cangbai Boss! Cangbai Boss, take me with you! I will help you pick up the trash! ]
…
Xu Mu glanced at the chat content and closed it expressionlessly.
To be honest, he was actually quite pleased with these discussions.
This way, no one will always come to harass you in private chats.
Instead, I have some free time.
His eyes swept forward.
After the dragonfly's corpse was refreshed, a huge amount of loot exploded all over the ground!
At a glance, there were more than twenty pieces of meat alone!
There were also all kinds of messy branches, hay, gravel and other primary materials falling in piles.
As well as some toys made of various beautiful gems and purely decorative items, such as rubber stoppers, rocket models, etc.
In addition, there is also what Xu Mu needs for this hunting trip - angry scales!
The hard scales with fiery red lines lay quietly on the ground.
After counting carefully, there were five pieces in total!
I stuffed everything into my backpack and was about to leave.
"Um?"
Xu Mu saw a black egg like a pebble behind a huge rock.
"What is this? A magma worm egg!" Xu Mu quickly recognized the egg and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
After hatching this thing with a dragon scale heater, you can get a baby dragonfly, which is the BOSS cub that was just killed.
And acknowledge the Lord and follow him.
By continuously feeding it food, its size will gradually grow larger.
However, in the game "Don't Starve", this is just an ordinary hot pack and does not have much killing power.
At most, they can surround the players and keep them warm when they go out to hunt in the wild in winter.
"I just don't know if there will be any difference in the dungeon."
"Take it home first and try it out. It can be used as a heating pad. With the addition of the heating stone, you won't be afraid of freezing in winter."
Dig the fire extinguisher off the ground and throw it into your bag.
After confirming that nothing was left out, Xu Mu opened the map and identified the location of his home.
Then, he hurried home.
Having nothing to do along the way, Xu Mu turned on the channel to kill the boring time on the road.
After the day came, players came out to explore one after another, and the channel became relatively active.
Soon, a message caught his attention.
[Brothers! Guess what I found! A battlefield relic! /Picture]
[Oh my god! What kind of terrain is this? I didn't mention this place in my basic terrain introduction guide! ]
[Good fellow, I heard from the pale boss that there are good things near the ruins! ]
【Can Bai: What? There are ruins? Let me see! 】
Xu Mu also clicked on the picture out of curiosity.
Just a glance.
Suddenly, the corner of Xu Mu's eyes twitched slightly.
This terrain...
Isn't this the battlefield where I just fought the dragon fly...
In the previous battle, the walls were partially damaged by the attacks of the dragon flies, and the surrounding ground was full of holes burned by the magma eggs and worms.
At first glance, the architectural aesthetic does seem a bit messy, like a weathered ancient relic.
Just when Xu Mu had this thought in his mind.
Look again for new information popping up in the frequency band.
[Pale: Hiss! ! This terrain... This terrain is incredible! There are potholes everywhere on the ground. It might be a meteorite area! There may be celestial relics! ]
[Cang Bai: Quick! Send me the coordinates in this picture privately! I'll exchange a big meat + 500 Red Moon Coins for your coordinates! Red Moon Coins are out for you! ]
[Damn! I'm so envious. A photo of a ruin can be sold for 50,000 yuan...]
[Boss Cangbai is going to attack the third-level guild. If there are some treasures hidden in the ruins, the 50,000 will be recovered instantly.]
【That’s true.】
[However, if Boss Cangbai gets the coordinates of the ruins, he will be even more powerful. Now the pressure is on Boss A ! ]
【Pale: Haha, low-key.】
Xu Mu: “…”
Watch the chat messages in the built-in channels.
Xu Mu felt a little regretful.
If I had known this could be sold for money, I would have taken a picture myself using the built-in system's camera function and made a lot of money from him!
Damn, what a loss!
