How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

It seemed like he was talking to himself, but Ah Hao on the other side knew that Ai Cao was asking him questions in disguise, but he was just a small errand boy. "I don't know much about it. The vice president just arranged for us to go there and try to collect as much as possible. I went there with my brothers early in the morning, and several groups from the branch guild were there too."

There are no less than one or two thousand people, but they should all be ordinary members.

Ai Cao thought about it and asked, "What's the drop rate? At least a few dozen."

He had underestimated it. Although their three groups went down into the swamp of the ruins and only found a so-called Mist Hidden Certification after walking all the way, it can be seen that the drop rate of this thing is low, but that is also due to the small number of people.

If we had gone to the Mihri ruins according to the number of people arranged by the vice president, this would not be the case.

However, what Ai Cao did not expect was that the actual number was much lower than he expected.

"It seems that there are only ten pieces. The other nine pieces were sent to other groups that won the Mist Hidden Proof (I) in the ruins according to the arrangement of the vice president. In fact, this is my second trip."

"Hey, is the drop rate so outrageous?" Ai Cao didn't say anything first, but Xu couldn't help but blinked when he heard it, and the others had the same reaction.

Seeing Ah Hao staring at his sister blankly, Ai Cao couldn't help but cough to attract his attention, frowning, "How come you guys only got this much out of this whole morning? Is this thing so rare?"

It's not their fault. After all, only ten pieces dropped out of one or two thousand people. At least a dozen gold-level equipment can be dropped in the morning.

"I can't help it." Being caught by the girl's brother, Ah Hao couldn't help but look away awkwardly, his face slightly red, and he quickly answered the other party's question to cover up his embarrassment, "There are many people from other guilds over there, including the big guilds like Siren and Aurora, there are at least tens of thousands of people."

so many people?

Ai Cao was inevitably surprised when he heard this, and became even more curious about the value of the thing in his hand. After all, if it could attract these big guilds to make such an arrangement, it would at least not be some useless piece of stone. He also understood this.

No wonder I only managed to get so little. There's no way I could fight with so many people... Wait...

Ai Cao felt something was wrong. "No, what does this have to do with so many people? I've been to the Mihri Ruins. There are at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of monsters in such a large place, and the refresh speed is fast. Why do we need to fight for monsters?"

"Of course you don't need to rob ordinary monsters." Ah Hao shook his head, "But these stones are only dropped by some special monsters... They can't really be considered drops."

After Ah Hao's detailed explanation, everyone finally understood.

It turns out that there is a special kind of monster called demonized creature in the Mihri ruins. It is independent of the level mechanism such as elites and bosses. Those with this prefix will have much higher combat effectiveness and will also have some exclusive demonic abilities.

There is a certain probability of dropping special fragments when killing this kind of demonic creature. By collecting five different special fragments, you can piece together an elite-level demonic contract and summon an elite-level demonic creature from it.

After killing an elite-level demonic creature, elite fragments of the corresponding level may drop. Similarly, by collecting five pieces, you can assemble a boss-level demon contract, and the mechanism continues in this way.

Moreover, high-level demonic creatures can only be summoned from corresponding demonic contracts, and cannot be found in the Mihri ruins. Only the lowest-level demonic creatures can be found. Not only that, these lowest-level demonic creatures are relatively rare, and only one may appear among dozens.

Therefore, those big guilds often sent people to garrison in an area, allowing their ordinary members to level up in it while looking for those demonic creatures to kill. Dozens of guilds, plus some studios, occupied the periphery of the entire Mihri ruins.

"No wonder I encountered demonized BOSSes the first two times I followed the army in. It turns out that the Mihri ruins are also related to this attack and defense of the ruins." Ai Cao muttered to himself, thinking of what he had said before.

Although he was not as thoughtful as the others, he guessed something from what the other person said, "You didn't mention the stone, but the devil's contract. Could it be possible to exchange the devil's contract for the stone?"

"Yes." Ah Hao nodded. "There are two NPC girls in an alchemy workshop northeast of Nalton. One of them can provide a way to exchange the Devil's Contract for the Mist Hidden Certificate (II)..."

"Are those two little sisters cute?" Ke Xu suddenly interrupted.

"It's quite cute." Ah Hao was stunned.

Ai Cao twitched her lips and said, "What nonsense are you focusing on all day long?"

Ke Xu stuck out his tongue and said, "Brother Hao, please continue."

Catching the concerned look, Ah Hao felt a little vain. He originally just wanted to explain it briefly, but now he spent some time to introduce it, "This method is a bit like gambling. Although the ratio is fixed, one Elite Demon Contract can be exchanged for one Mist Hidden Certificate, one Boss Contract can be exchanged for eight pieces, and one Leader Contract can be exchanged for eighty pieces. Because the same fragments can be exchanged with other guilds, we will ignore it, but..."

The twist at the end of the sentence immediately aroused everyone's interest again.

Ai Cao couldn't help but be attracted to him, but when she saw that he was secretly glancing at her sister and was reluctant to speak, she slapped him on the back of his head and said, "Hurry up and tell us, don't keep us waiting."

Chapter 91: Exchange at the Alchemy Workshop

Ah Hao felt a little aggrieved after being hit on the head, but seeing that Ai Cao seemed to want to hit him again, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​keeping it in suspense and spoke quickly.

"But, because not every demonized creature will drop fragments, just like when you finally get an Elite Demon Contract and you're planning to trade it, but then you remember that a boss can be traded for eight pieces, so you might grit your teeth and use that Elite Demon Contract."

"As a result, the summoned elite demon creatures did not drop any fragments. Isn't this a loss? So they might use up another demon contract. Even if the fragments dropped, they still need four pieces to piece together. Even if they can sell them to other guilds, it will be difficult to stop once they start to build up their momentum."

"There are many such examples. The vice president also asked us to use the Demon Contract before. Although we earned an elite fragment, we stopped decisively after it didn't drop fragments for three consecutive times. We exchanged all the elite Demon Contracts we got for the Mist Hidden Certificate."

It turns out that three Mist Certifications were wasted. This is really like gambling. Everyone nodded when they heard this.

"It sounds like it would be better to exchange an elite for a stone. Even though it's a small amount, it's safer." Ke Xu thought about it.

"What do girls know? If you're a man, of course you have to go all in. Maybe the bicycle can become a motorcycle." Ai Cao hooked Ke Xu's nose, causing him to look at him with dissatisfaction. His little mouth was pouted so much that a bottle of oil could be hung on it.

"Ai Da, I think men should be more down-to-earth." Ah Hao also said in a low voice beside him, and without waiting for Ai Cao to react, he ran away quickly, "I have already given you the things, and there are still things waiting to be dealt with over there, so I will leave first, Ai Da."

"This kid." Ai Cao put down her raised hand again, glanced at Ke Xu beside her, and frowned, "He's gone, what are you still looking at? Are you interested in him?"

"I just think he's quite interesting, huh."

Ai Cao ignored his tsundere sister and told the vice president that someone had been there. He got the third stone from there and also had to spend contribution to exchange it in the alchemy workshop. Three stones would make up a complete Mist Hidden Certification, and he couldn't help but become curious.

"Brother Xia, where did you get all this information from? How do you know so much?"

"It's not really a secret. I don't know where it originated from, but it's all spread on the forums. There's all kinds of information. I just asked the people in the Intelligence Department to help compile it."

"I see. What can the three pieces of Kirigakure Certificate do?"

"You can accept the quest in the alchemy workshop that Ah Hao told you about, and exchange it for a teleportation scroll to teleport to a dungeon."

"That's it?" Ai Cao was stunned. He originally thought there could be something special about it. If it was just for this purpose, there was no reason to spend so much effort collecting three stones. His vice president was not a fool, and other guilds could not be fools either.

He was not a fool, so he naturally thought of something, "Could it be that there is something magical in this copy?"

"You'll know when you go in." The vice president, however, rarely kept the secret.

Ai Cao curled her lips, said hello to the people in the team, asked them to stay where they were and wait, and then planned to go alone. However, when she heard where Ai Cao was going, Ke Xu next to her remembered the two cute lolis mentioned before, and also shouted to go together.

Ai Cao had no idea what to do with her sister, so she had no choice but to take her with her.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the alchemy workshop that Ah Hao mentioned and saw the target they were looking for.

Ai Cao was a little surprised, not because the two little sisters were indeed cute, but because there were a lot more people here than he had imagined. However, the exchange only took a moment, and he soon squeezed to the front.

Leaving his sister with starry eyes beside him, Ai Cao clicked on the exchange list towards the NPC Lolita named Celaria in front of him. When he saw the first ranked item, which was what he needed, he immediately understood why the vice president asked him to borrow some contributions from the members of the group in advance.

This damn Proof of the Hidden Mist (III) required half of his contribution, which was almost equivalent to one-third of the overall revenue of the next ruins for the three groups he led. It might not sound like a lot, but there were more than 40 people in the three groups.

"What the hell is this?"

However, no matter how much he cursed and how much he felt bad, Ai Cao had no choice but to hand over these contributions in exchange for two Mist Hidden Certificates (III). After all, without this third stone, the other two stones that the guild had collected with great effort would be useless.

No matter what, it can't be wasted.

After exchanging the Mist Hidden Certificate, Ai Cao glanced at the exchange lists of Celaria and another loli named Yuwen Jielin next to her, and found that he could also use contributions and devil contracts to exchange for some other items, such as skill books, potions, scrolls, etc.

It is similar to what can be exchanged by the quartermaster in the front-line base, but there are fewer types.

“No wonder those people stayed here for a while.”

On the exchange list, Ai Cao also saw the redstone potion that was currently selling hot. He roughly estimated it in his mind and found that it was much cheaper than what was sold on the market. So he used the remaining contribution to exchange some of it.

After that, he dragged his sister, who was unable to walk because of the cute things, to the alchemy room on the other side, which was the place where the vice president mentioned that tasks could be accepted in exchange for teleportation scrolls.

Although it is the most critical link in the exchange, the other party cannot exchange for other items. In addition, it does not take much time to trigger the task, so when Ai Cao entered, only two or three players entered and exited.

When she saw the target of the mission, a tall and beautiful lady, Ai Cao couldn't help but whistle and teased Ke Xu, "This is the type of woman a man should like. The child who hadn't developed anything before is nothing."

"Humph, obviously cuteness is justice."

"NONONO, cuteness is nothing compared to sexiness."

Seeing the other party's gaze, Ai Cao quickly put away the improper expression on his face and triggered the task towards the NPC lady named Xiwei.

"The source of darkness in the Mihri ruins and the Undercity ruins may come from that mysterious area, but the energy there is chaotic. If you want to teleport there, you need to use the special power of the three Mist Hidden Certificates."

"Okay, please leave it to me, Miss Xiwei."

After accepting the task and submitting the three pieces of Mist Hidden Certificates, after a lot of hard work, Ai Cao finally got the final teleportation scroll as he wished.

【Teleport Scroll】Mist Hidden Forest

Usage level: level 20

Effect: After use, the team can be teleported to the special copy of the Mist Forest, with a maximum of fifty people.

Cooling time: none

Chapter 92: Hidden Fog Forest

The Mist Forest is an unlockable special dungeon located in a mysterious area, the territory and paradise of dark creatures. The hidden dangers are unknown. Players need to collect three different Mist Forest Certificates and accept the task from NPC Xiwei at Nalton (13690, 46139) to obtain the teleportation scroll. The dungeon is restricted to level 20.

On the way back, Ai Cao also browsed the forum.

However, although relevant information has been circulated above, most of it is scattered and mixed with unnecessary nonsense and other irrelevant information, which is no different from a public account that is designed to attract attention.

The above part is the most detailed relevant content he has found, but many of them are just the remaining bits and pieces mentioned by the vice president. This made Ai Cao admire the intelligence collection capabilities of his own and other large guilds' intelligence departments.

However, it is not without gain. I noticed some new words in it, looked up related information, and got a general understanding of the unlockable special copies.

Simply put, players participating in this dungeon need to work together to complete the dungeon a certain number of times or meet other conditions before they can unlock the next dungeon level. As the progress increases, the difficulty will gradually increase, and of course the rewards obtained in the dungeon will also increase.

The final BOSS will not appear until the last dungeon level is unlocked. After killing the final BOSS, you will receive additional rewards based on a series of score rankings accumulated from previous dungeon battles.

In fact, it is not much different from another form of event. The similarity lies in that it can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the players.

Without mentioning others, Ai Cao had already developed a great interest, not only in the specific situation of the copy, but also in the rewards.

"What on earth can it be that Brother Xia takes it so seriously? It's rare that he's keeping it a secret." Ai Cao couldn't help but wonder.

Just as they were thinking about it, the two of them returned to where the team was. After they spoke in the team channel, the team members also showed a lot of interest.

"Brother Ai, what is that copy like?"

"We just looked at the description on the forum, but they couldn't give any specific details."

“It always feels like it’s going to be fun!”

"So you all agree?" Although everyone seemed very interested, Ai Cao still asked.

No one expressed any objection. After all, everyone was curious about this special form of copy, and most people wanted to experience it.

After checking that there were enough supplies and that there were no nightmare problems with the equipment's durability, Ai Cao used the teleportation scroll in front of everyone, and a white light immediately enveloped everyone.

The next moment, the team appeared in a forest.

Unlike the birdsong and flowers seen in some movies, the scene in this foggy forest looks particularly eerie and terrifying.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the dense treetops blocked most of the light, making the interior of the forest extremely dark, even though it was not as pitch dark as the Undercity ruins.

Occasionally, vague sounds were heard from the depths of the forest, and occasionally some corpses would pop out from the soft soil underfoot. The grass and leaves were rustling in the wind from nowhere.

If this happened in reality, it would definitely be a great location for shooting a horror movie. After all, the fact that most of the girls in the team looked scared and moved closer to their companions to varying degrees could show this.

"It's so scary. I always feel like there's a ghost in there."

"I'm going to have a nightmare tonight..."

But Xu also jumped to Ai Cao's side and grabbed his arm, "I still feel safest here."

"I love to hear that. After all, a tall and handsome man like your brother will naturally give girls a strong sense of security." Ai Cao felt comfortable hearing that and couldn't help but boast proudly.

However, Xu explained seriously, "That's not the case. I think you are so ugly that ghosts won't want to bother with you."

"...You little bitch, you're asking for a beating!"

However, with so many people present, the terrifying atmosphere was dispelled a lot. But right after Ai Cao led the team into the forest.

Not only the girls, most of the people in the team showed a look of slight discomfort, because most of the monsters they encountered were giant spiders.

Normal people would generally feel fear when faced with this kind of furry creature, especially when it becomes similar in size to an adult or even larger.

"Uhhhhh, I...I hate spiders the most!"

"Hiss, I feel goosebumps all over my body when I'm touched."

"Whenever I encountered spiders or cockroaches, I always asked my mother to beat them. She was totally unable to handle them."

"Why don't you call Auntie up to help..."

That being said, however, as long as they can enter the three elite groups of Azure Coast, they are no pushovers and will not hesitate to take action when necessary.

Faced with the fierce attack of a team of more than forty people, the monsters along the way naturally could not withstand it.

After all, in the early stage, the difficulty of this unlockable special copy is not very high. If you make an analogy, it is similar to the normal difficulty of an ordinary copy.

After letting the team rest for a while, Ai Cao was also preparing to chat with his sister and relax, but he caught a glimpse of the figures in front of him groping under the monster, and he couldn't help but have an idea.

"Luomo, throw some of the things you guys picked up to me." Ai Cao shouted to one of them.
