How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

After receiving a pre-mission from the Pharmacist Association, I took Claire and Kai, whose levels were hidden, through the busy streets and came to an alchemy workshop that looked quite large.

If there hadn't been a player with a living profession in his previous life who had nothing better to do and took on the task, no one would have discovered that there was a senior pharmacist with special abilities hidden in this workshop.

Although the player did not care much after discovering this, after all, when he discovered it, the era had been in operation for about two years, and high-level pharmacists appeared everywhere. It was not surprising that they could transform potions. Even he himself possessed this ability.

However, in order to trigger the task, he still gave some potions to the other party and asked him to help transform them. However, he did not expect that after these potions were transformed by the other party, the effects were not enhanced much. Instead, some special negative effects were added, and they were very hidden.

If he didn't have the level of a senior pharmacist and the special pharmacist suit, he might not have discovered it at all.

We could actually end our discussion here, but we also have to mention the player’s subsequent cool moves.

After discovering this, he not only did not choose to complete the task but continued to submit it, gradually hoarding a large number of potions with side effects, and then sent these potions when his own guild went to war with other guilds.

The final result is predictable. His guild suffered a disastrous defeat and was even expelled because of the effect of the potion, and he himself disappeared in the hunt. Gossipy players took the opportunity to dig out the reason behind it - it turned out that the player's childhood sweetheart was taken away and abandoned by the president of his guild, and he had been holding a grudge against her ever since, and eventually encountered this mission and planned everything.

The grievances and grudges caused by the romantic debts have been talked about for a long time.

Someone looked for this indigenous pharmacist afterwards, but for some reason they were unable to trigger the same quest. It was not until later that they discovered that the quest required a priest or paladin to be triggered, but the pharmacist had already left and was nowhere to be found.

And now, obviously there is no need to worry about such a situation.

After entering the alchemy workshop, I was surprised to find that there were quite a few indigenous people inside, including apprentices and pharmacists. It seemed to be a mixed workshop, and I could see many alchemists.

What surprised me even more was that after contacting several apprentices or pharmacists, they all said that they did not know the existence of the senior pharmacist named "Rongla".

"Damn it, do I really have to search this place thoroughly?"

I curled my lips and sighed that the player in my previous life was really idle. Just when I was about to do this, I turned around by chance and found that there was something wrong with Claire and Kai.

Wait, why are these two guys suddenly silent?

I looked up at the two of them and found that they were looking straight at the second floor of the workshop. I followed their gaze and looked -

A petite and cute girl was holding a pile of books and walking towards an alchemy room inside.

I was suddenly speechless and choked.

These two damn lolita control...

Just as he was secretly complaining, he suddenly remembered something and quickly looked up at the petite figure on the second floor, only to see a familiar name above her head.

After finishing her daily meditation, Rongla placed the books she had sorted out next to the table. Just as she opened the book and prepared to study the knowledge in it, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

After getting permission from the person inside, I pushed the door open and walked in, while Claire and Kai behind me stayed at the door at my instruction.

The figure in the room was just like the petite and cute Tracy that he had met before, but compared to Tracy's beauty, the other person was more beautiful, or more aggressive, but one could tell from the words that came out of her mouth.

"Say something quickly."

...Why are you so fierce?

I curled my lips and completed the pre-task description, which triggered the task language. "Master Karen told me that Miss Rongla seemed to have encountered some difficulties. I wonder if I can help."

When I saw the other party looking me up and down, I knew that the task was almost triggered.

"Just go find me a batch of usable potions."

Although the other party's tone was not very good.

Did this guy grow up eating gunpowder? I secretly complained to myself while taking out all the redstone potions in my backpack and giving them to him. I believed that with his ability, he should be able to discover the negative effects of the redstone potions and amplify them.

However, even though he was so sure of her ability, in the end he got just this one sentence from her.

"Okay, you can go now. Come back to me at 2pm."

"..."

Why did I suddenly feel fortunate that I had closed the door before entering? Otherwise, Claire and Kai would most likely have to face a life-changing decision - if the Holy Light and the Holy Light fought, which side should they support?

But having said that, fortunately I wouldn't argue too much with the little brat. I took a deep breath and quickly left the alchemy room.

"Damn, this damn brat." I couldn't help but complain harshly until I closed the door. I was even more annoyed when I caught the two looks from the side. "And you two, don't be stunned by a little girl!"

Kai looked up at the ceiling guiltily.

But I didn't expect Claire to think seriously, "Your Highness, that child... seems a little strange."

"eccentric?"

"That's how I feel." Claire said seriously, "So out of caution, Your Highness should let me have contact with her in the future."

"..."×2

……

……

I want to relax at the end of the month, sorry for the single update (???*)?

By the way, I plan to arrange a manuscript next month. What do you want to see the protagonist look like, a demon king or cat ears, or something from real life?

written request for leave

……

……

Of course, no matter how you think about it, this kind of thing would never be handed over to the hands of this lolita complex leader.

After leaving the workshop, I planned to have the two of them buy a small alchemy workshop in Nalton and hire a group of indigenous pharmacists to help make redstone potions.

Even if there are enough left for the legion, and the number of transformations that can be done by that little devil is limited, it is obvious that as a qualified demon king, he cannot "treat the players unfairly" no matter what.

Although the unmodified potion is indeed slower in taking effect, it is still effective after all. Moreover, with the popularity brought by the current incident, the redstone potion that was originally unsaleable in Orwen can obviously be sold at a high price. Why not do it?

But in the end, the task fell on Kai alone, because Claire seemed to be planning to find Anna and others to discuss the establishment of a branch of the Holy Light Monastery in Nalton.

So you are serious... I feel like there will be a bunch of scary guys here...

However, considering the difficulty of establishing a separate power without any foundation, it would be the same even with the support of Isabella and others. I just thought it was an experimental idea and didn't pay much attention to it.

After Nalton's affairs were dealt with, I returned to the Undercity ruins. Of course, I did not forget to bring Sadasia back with me. I used the two inferior teleportation crystals dropped in the Mihri ruins to teleport myself and Sadasia into the interior of the ruins.

Ivan and Cecilia were not in the depths of the second floor. I guess they listened to me and started to renovate the areas they were responsible for.

I thought about it and looked at Sadasia who was looking at the "Source of Evil" curiously.

If I wasn't worried that her high level might cause a series of chain reactions after she restored her original form, I would have directly wanted to stuff a lord-level fire demon into the ruins.

At that time, even without the cooperation of the Shadow Swamp or other monsters, they will be able to intercept Nalton's assembled army and players.

But this is just thought, and the most important problem to be solved now is this.

Evil Spirit Corrosion: [Nedoru is an evil spirit corpse princess from the abyss. She can skillfully use the power of evil spirits to transform other creatures into evil spirit carriers that depend on herself. The corroded creatures will at most advance to the leader-level BOSS and gain different powers.]

This was the key skill that he intended to use to bring in Satasia as his helper. Although Ivan and Cecilia had successfully transformed into the Evil Corpse Princess under the effect of this skill, it was only achieved with the help of Alice.

And most importantly, the effect is described as advancing to a leader-level BOSS at most, and it is not clear whether there will be any accidents if it is used on a lord-level guy like Satasia.

So out of caution, I called out the name of a certain era's optical computer.

There was no need to think about this guy with a bad taste. He must be paying attention to her affairs every day, adding some fun to her boring life. So after she called her name, Alice responded naturally, "Tsk, I found two helpers for you, are you still not satisfied?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you also cause the Nalton military and church to intervene for me?" I rolled my eyes.

"Didn't I also give benefits?" Alice's voice sounded a little lazy. "Well, forget it, I won't bother with the little brat."

It seemed that it was almost time for a nap, and Alice didn't intend to argue with me too much. She directly modified the effect of the evil spirit erosion for me, and used it on a certain fire demon waiting nearby like before.

As the power fluctuations that could change the rules appeared, Satasia's originally fair skin began to crack somewhere, revealing the grayish-white color underneath, but Satasia seemed to feel no pain and looked at the changes happening to her body curiously.

Soon, the original fire mage character disappeared, and a monster girl who looked similar to Ivan and Cecilia appeared. Not only that, she was more powerful than the two of them, a level 30 leader.

Evil Corpse Princess: Demon Flame Spirit [Leader]

"Wow, Lord Demon King, I'm the leader!" Satasia said excitedly. After all, after coming to the Constantana Empire, she has always been under the player template disguised as magic and has hardly exerted her original power.

In addition, she has been helping me deal with the matter of the fluorite lantern over the past few days. With her noisy personality, she has been holding it in for a long time, and now she has gained the power to become a BOSS again.

Even though he only has the strength of a leader, he is also free from restrictions, so he is naturally very excited.

After reading about Satasia's abilities, I also had a clear understanding of the strength of the Evil Corpse Queen after her transformation. After all, even if we ignore the attributes and skills, the talent alone is enough to prove it.

Talent: Evil Spirit Body [Primary flying ability; cause additional damage based on enemy sanity; attack has a low chance to reduce enemy sanity]

Fire Element [All attacks are considered fire damage; damage caused has a burning effect; immune to fire damage]

The key is the second talent, the fire element, which undoubtedly cooperates very well with the characteristics of the shadow swamp and will not hurt oneself by mistake.

What's more, the additional burning effect can better trigger the redstone potion, and according to my understanding, this kind of burning generally has the effect of reducing fire resistance, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

"Satasia, you will be responsible for guarding the swamp area tomorrow." I gave her the task, "You can go to the first floor to find some players to familiarize yourself with your new abilities."

"Leave it to me, Demon Lord."

Hearing that there was something to do, and that it was to deal with players, Satasia naturally agreed without even thinking about it.

After the other party left, I was not idle either. I planned to use my remaining points to deploy some additional monsters and mechanisms in the Shadow Swamp. After all, Satasia will face the frontal force of the army tomorrow. Even with her talents and the cooperation of the Shadow Swamp, it will probably be quite difficult.

If any accident happens, we will lose a powerful fighting force.

"Since I have already made so many preparations for the redstone potion, I might as well improve the details a little bit this time." I thought about it, opened the control authority of the Undercity ruins, and started to select from the monsters.

However, what he finally chose was not a village of level 10 or with solid defenses or powerful destructive power. Rather, it was the exact opposite. It was a level monster that looked insignificant.

Poisonous thorn ball.

……

……

Happy April Fools' Day!

After reading yesterday’s comments, I decided to make a plan for the protagonist’s cat-ear form. However, it may take a while, and I estimate that the picture will not be available until the end of the month.

By the way, it’s a new month, please like and ask for monthly tickets~

Chapter 66: Poisonous Thorn Ball

The poisonous thorn ball is a relatively special monster, distributed in various countries in the Era Continent.

Although the level is only ten, it is very difficult to deal with in some ways, because these monsters generally exist as companions, and the shadows of these monsters can also be seen in some high-level areas.

As the name suggests, the poisonous thorn ball is covered with sharp thorns containing toxins. Although these thorns cannot harm the player under normal circumstances, after the poisonous thorn ball dies, these thorns will be ejected and pierce into the player's body. The characteristic of ignoring defense means that even high-level players cannot avoid it.

However, the toxins attached to these thorns can only be considered weaker than primary poisoning. Even for players who are only level ten, the normal blood recovery effect can completely offset it, so players have never paid much attention to it.

It was not until later that someone discovered that these toxins could actually intensify the negative effects on the players, and if they wanted to remove these negative effects, they had to first get rid of the main body of the thorn toxin. Otherwise, those specialized detoxification, burning effect removal and other potions would not work at all.

In the past life, many players wasted a lot of potions because of the effects of the thorn toxin.

After all, this thing is extremely hidden. It has extremely low health and is good at disguising itself as harmless leaves. Sometimes you accidentally step on it and don't even know that you have been infected with the thorn toxin, because the effect is so weak that it is not even displayed on the status bar.

After noticing this, some players began to take it seriously. After all, even if the purification of a priest or paladin can remove most debuffs, it is impossible to use the precious purification skills to purify such weak toxins every time.

However, this long-ignored toxin is not only difficult to remove, but also requires a specific antidote, which has led to this monster being criticized by players for a long time. Although some pharmacists have discovered a way to use the toxin extracted from the poisonous thorn ball to enhance the effects of many poisons and killing items, this is a story for another time.

It is still the early stage of the game and there is no corresponding antidote, which is enough to give these armies and players a big headache. Although the poison of the thorns is weak, it can also cooperate with the negative effects of the redstone potion to bring a wonderful combo.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile wickedly, "If you take strengthening into account, it won't be as simple as eating a pot."

As a qualified demon king, I would naturally try my best to torture the players wherever I could, so I used the points without hesitation to greatly strengthen this monster, which was only level ten.

However, most of the effects of the Poison Thorn Ball are to enhance some of its own attributes, or to enhance defense and attack. In addition, only three random abilities appear each time, which means that if a bad ability appears, you can only choose it and spend points to replace it.

After randomly selecting several times, I finally only chose these three abilities.

[Toxin Spread: The ability of the thorn toxin to strengthen negative effects is increased]

[Nihilism: Players gain fewer points after being killed]

[Pain Dependence: HP limit is reduced, poison duration is extended]

"I always feel like I'm washing the attributes of my equipment..." I sighed and looked at the remaining points. I was originally going to end it like this, but after thinking about it, I decided to carry out the fourth enhancement. No matter what it is, I'll just accept it.

What I didn't expect was that in addition to the common attack and defense enhancements, this fourth enhancement also included a special ability -

[Strange reaction: If the player carries two or more negative effects, there is a certain chance that they will be merged]

Although I'm not quite sure about the specific effect of this ability, I always feel that something very interesting will happen. My eyes lit up and I immediately confirmed it.
