"Has someone discovered the copy so soon?"
After looking at it for a while, I roughly figured out the situation of this dungeon by combining the information exchanged by other players.
This is a low-level copy called "Dense Forest Cave". It tells the story of an underground kingdom of creatures in the forest near Moonlight Town. One day, the kingdom was corrupted by the dark power of the devil and specialized in hunting nearby hunters and caravans. The sheriff of Moonlight Town commissioned the player to kill the devil deep in the spider kingdom.
The mission starts with the sheriff of Moonlight Town, and a series of tasks need to be completed before the copy can be opened.
Lin Xiao followed the guide to find the sheriff and started the quest chain. The first wave was to investigate the rioting forest spiders deep in the Silvermoon Forest.
Normally this is a task that requires a team to complete, but his spell damage is too high. The first Lightning Chain is a group damage. Even though the basic damage is lower than the normal second-level Fireball, the Lightning Chain can hurt six targets at the same time, plus the 200% additional spell damage, the output is very strong.
First, cast a lightning shield for yourself, then pull a dozen monsters together in one breath, use a lightning force field to stun and paralyze them for six seconds, then turn around and cast a lightning chain.
The HP of a level twelve or thirteen monster is around 170 or 180. A wave of lightning force field can cause over 120 damage, plus the small lightning strikes shot out by the lightning shield when attacking him before. He has an extra +5 intelligence at level one, which means 55 extra intelligence at level 11. With normal upgrades and the basic intelligence, he has 88 intelligence points.
The normal additional damage of Lightning Shield is Intelligence*0.2, and after the bonus it is Intelligence*0.6. Eighty-eight points of intelligence is about 52 points of spell damage, which is quite considerable.
Basically, a wave of lightning force fields is pulled over to the group, and these monsters are basically at low health, so they can be killed with a lightning chain.
By using this method to recruit people in a group, he was able to level up before completing the task.
It took almost two days to finally complete this quest chain and get the key to enter the dungeon.
The reason it took so long was mainly because I couldn't help but waste time on attacking monsters and running away. I'm only level 10 or so and don't have a mount, so I have to rely on my legs to go everywhere.
At this time, his level was exactly level 13. Although the dungeon required level 15, he could enter at level 13.
The Jungle Cave is located deep in the Silvermoon Forest. A light gate emitting a faint green light stands in an arch made up of countless spider silks. Jungle spiders refresh at the door from time to time, but they are killed by nearby players as soon as they come out.
As the most popular copy, hundreds of players gathered here, and all regional channels were for teams.
Looking at this lively scene, Lin Xiao had the illusion of going back to before the time travel and playing a game called World of Warcraft.
Speaking of this game, apart from the different world background, many game settings are very similar to World of Warcraft. I don't know if the ruler has also played this game.
I randomly picked a team from a bunch of teams looking for a team and sent an application. After a few seconds, the other party asked three questions:
"What level, what profession, what specialization?"
"Thirteenth level lightning specialized mage."
"Lightning Expertise?"
The opponent was silent for a moment and then said:
"Your level is a bit low, but you can fight me once. Let me make it clear that if your magic damage is not enough, I will kick you out."
"Can."
A team was invited over. There were already four people in the team, including him, making five people, two mages, one priest, and two warriors.
There are two mages and the other one is an elf fire mage. There are two warriors, one is a bear defense warrior and the other is a tauren weapons warrior. The priest is a human holy priest.
The races are very common. There are no very powerful races and no non-mainstream races. Lin Xiao's star spirit is also classified as a human being, but he is just super handsome.
Entering the dungeon, the first thing you see is two giant spiders hanging upside down under a tree. They are level 16 elite monsters with over 800 HP. The bear man defense warrior pulls out the hammer behind him and walks forward while saying,
"These two gate gods are very strong. Wait for me to attract aggro. I'll start fighting in three seconds. Don't panic if you get caught in the web. Cast spells on the spot."
Ten seconds later, there was a loud bang in the cave, and a thick lightning bolt hit the spider on the left. The huge magic damage directly knocked off half of the elite monster's health. The monster was immediately OT, and the monster screamed, shook off the MT who was trying to swing the shield, and pounced on him.
The fire mage next to him immediately used a flame blast to control the monster. The warrior tried hard to attract the hatred, but the output was insufficient and the taunt skill was on CD, so he could only watch the elite monster chasing Lin Xiao.
Fortunately, the monster had less than one-third of its health left, and it was quickly killed with a round of siege.
After that, several people looked at him in surprise, and the mage asked in surprise:
"Dude, is lightning mastery so powerful?"
He shook his head and said:
"This is because my talent has too high a bonus to lightning spells. Of course, the burst of lightning specialization itself is very high."
"I kind of regret choosing the Fire specialization."
"You can change it later."
The captain was very familiar with the dungeon. He led them to the BOSS with the least monsters to fight. Relying on his super high burst, he killed all the way to the end and killed the final BOSS of the dungeon, a demon warlock.
There is no additional plot in the copy. I completed the game after killing five bosses. I got two blue equipments and more than ninety silver coins, almost one gold.
After coming out of the dungeon, he rejected the captain's offer to continue, and instead went back to sell his sundries, bought some potions, and entered the dungeon alone. He wanted to play it solo.
Previously, after analyzing the attack power, health and terrain of the elite monsters in the dungeon, he found that he had the foundation to solo the dungeon with his output.
First, put on the lightning shield and go around in a circle to lure a large number of elite monsters. During this period, you can continue to cause a lot of damage. Then use the lightning force field to control the situation every ten seconds to save your life. There is a wave of lightning chains every two seconds. As long as you are not surrounded and killed, it is easy to kill a wave.
By soloing the dungeon, he reached a level before even completing it.
After that, he would be able to solo the game every hour or so, and each time he would get about eleven or twelve pieces of blue equipment, and five or six gold items.
As your level increases and you become more proficient, the time it takes to play a game alone is shortened, and you can play a game alone in half an hour later.
Six days later, his level reached 20. The main reason was that his level exceeded that of the monsters in the dungeon, so he didn't gain much experience from a single clearing, but he did gain a lot of money and equipment.
So from then on he no longer played alone, but led others to play and upgrade. Each person got one gold each time, and four people got an extra four gold.
This endless grinding continued for almost a month. He led batch after batch of players to level 18 or 19 and graduated and left Moonlight Town. He continued to stay here and grind until he had accumulated more than 5,000 gold coins.
When other players of the same level only have a few gold coins, this is a huge sum of money, enough for him to have enough money for a long time.
After all, although this world is like a game, it is not a real game. There is no so-called studio to earn gold, and you can't spend money to buy gold. You have to earn it all by yourself. Money is very valuable and it maintains its value.
It's difficult to move forward anywhere without money, whether it's leveling up, learning skills or buying equipment, you need money. Spending a month and a half here and earning 5,000 gold is quite worthwhile in the long run.
Now that I have money, I will naturally go to the Lightning Tower first to learn all the remaining skills. In addition to upgrading the existing skill levels, I also learned two new skills, namely Lightning Shock, and the group skill Thundercloud that can only be learned at level 20.
Level 1 Lightning Shock: Concentrates the power of lightning to strike a target, causing 450 points of direct lightning damage and stunning the target for two seconds, and causing lightning damage every three seconds for the next 15 seconds, with the total damage equal to the first strike.
Mana cost: 55 points, instant cast, cooldown time: 15 seconds.
Level 1 Thundercloud: Summons a thundercloud with a range of 60 yards and lasts for 15 seconds, causing up to 1500 points of lightning damage to all enemies within the range.
Mana cost: 112, instant cast, requires continuous casting.
At the same time, max out both the Enhanced Lightning Chain and Lightning Extended talents, consuming a total of eight talent points. The remaining three points are all spent on the newly-appeared talent, Lightning Spark. There are a total of five levels. Each level of Lightning Chain and Lightning Strike increases the casting time by 0.1, and the full level can reduce the casting time by 0.5.
With enough money, he no longer had to worry about making money. He spent a lot of money to buy four twelve-slot packages, bought a lot of water to replenish mana, and went out to start the journey of killing monsters and upgrading.
It was too troublesome for him to complete quests, especially since many quests were not about killing monsters but about running errands to collect quest items, and the drop rates of some quest items were extremely low.
Time passed by unknowingly, and many players started from the novice villages and spread to the whole world. There were new discoveries in the world channel every day, and dungeons or new maps were constantly being discovered.
As more exchanges took place and acquaintances met, everyone began to form groups. Many seniors in their third and fourth years established guilds in the main city and called on classmates from the same school to gather together.
In the world channel, Lin Xiao often saw information about some familiar top universities establishing guilds, including Huiyao.
Three and a half years after the advent, Lin Xiao, who had reached level 55, finally saw a message from his girlfriend looking for him on the world channel. At this time, he had come to a map called the Cursed Land, which was full of powerful undead monsters of level 50 or 60, and he had been here for a full six months.
It became more difficult to advance to higher levels as time went on, and more experience was required. Even with his super high efficiency, he could only reach level 55.
He was almost sick of the endless monster-killing, and just then he saw a message from his girlfriend looking for him, so he simply stopped killing monsters and went back to look for his girlfriend.
By the way, learn some skills, learn a profession and riding skills, update equipment, etc.
I was so confused after killing monsters. Except for my level, I am not as good as other players in their 40s. Many things have not been updated.
His current state is just like that of a leveler in the game who kills monsters. He has nothing but level. However, level is everything in the game. With a high level, everything else is easy. It just takes some time.
Open a portal and teleport directly to the Lightning Tower. This is a teleportation skill learned at level 30. It can teleport directly to the Lightning Tower. You can learn all the skills that can be learned in one go, and then learn two majors, namely tailoring and enchanting, which are the most common majors learned by the magic department.
PS: After coding, I always feel that there is something weird about these two chapters today, but after careful inspection, I can't see what's weird and where I need to change.
The pace of this dungeon is very fast at the beginning. In a few chapters, the settings are thrown out and the first ten years are quickly transitioned, opening the door to the outer realm early.
