How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

It was like another petite figure had sneaked up behind the group of dark wizards without anyone noticing.

One of the black wizards seemed to realize that the giant beast he summoned was unable to do anything to the enemy, and was about to chant an attacking witchcraft spell.

However, just as the spell was uttered, an attack from behind hit the back of the head, instantly interrupting the spell. Although there was no skill involved, the spell was interrupted, which was one of the common techniques used by thieves.

With the help of this technique, Ivan, who had revealed his figure, saved a control skill, and used kicks, elbows, and stun clubs in succession, which interrupted the spells that the other three dark wizards were about to chant, and won precious opportunities for others.

At this stage, thieves have very few control skills, and there are only four including the skill that Yiwen just used. Although someone like Yiwen must have had a special opportunity to obtain hidden skills, for ordinary thieves, mastering this skill is equivalent to giving the team an invisible guarantee.

After Yiwen successfully interfered with these black wizards, I cooperated with Yun Qian to deal with the behemoth, and then together with Yiwen, we dealt with the black wizards behind. Any fragile mage would appear powerless to resist when facing a thief at close range, not to mention the output of other professions.

As a result, these dark wizards were eliminated by us in just a few minutes.

After using Shadow Blast's high damage to take away the last black wizard in front of me who was attacked by Ivan and had little health left, I felt somewhat relieved. However, when I heard the explosion coming from not far away, I couldn't help but look over there.

Compared to the cooperation of three people on my side to kill a group of black wizards, the other side seemed much more violent. When I looked over, I saw the bodies of four or five black wizards lying on the ground.

However, those who managed to survive were not that lucky. Under the siege of two mechanical puppets, one big and one small, they looked as pitiful as a weak woman facing a large wild beast.

What's more, not far away there is a terrifying loli who claims to be an alchemist, but in fact she can take out all kinds of explosives and harmful potions from under her skirt. So we still don't know what kind of magical props this dress that she calls a special prop can contain.

The main output and tanks were taken away together, and the mechanical puppets as mechanical units could not enjoy the treatment of the priest, making Yun Qian at the back so bored that he could only occasionally cast a defense blessing or an attack blessing or something like that.

Output? Yun Xian said output is a piece of shit. She just threw a blessing of additional attack damage to Cecilia or the mechanical puppet, and the DPS converted to herself was much higher than using those attack skills.

She hadn't realized it before, but now she deeply realized that the damage of the priest profession is indeed similar to that of the nurse. In short, it is to give injections to the monsters that come to her because they are sick.

Even I, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but have a new understanding of Cecilia's fighting ability. After all, it took three people on our side to barely deal with a group of dark wizards, while the other side was able to suppress more dark wizards than their side with just one person. To put it in a consolation way, Yun Xian could still be counted in to make up the number.

If she were an ordinary player, the combat capability Cecilia is showing now could even rival that of a team of nearly twenty people.

After all, this is the gap that appears after completing the first job transfer task. After a successful job transfer, all status and abilities are greatly improved, which has an obvious suppressing effect on players who have not completed the first job transfer. It takes seven, eight or even ten ordinary players to defeat a job transfer player of the same level.

However, even with the bonus from the job change, it was obviously not enough. In addition to the dark pattern bonus provided by Alice in the previous ruins incident, Cecilia actually had her own help.

That is the mechanical alchemy notebook taken from the Mage Tower. After analysis by Tracy, it was found that it contained an ancient mechanical inheritance that Loblanche had once obtained. Since Tracy has systematically learned a complete set of mechanics, I gave this inheritance to Cecilia.

During these two months, the other party not only completed the inheritance mission, but also completed the job transfer mission at the end of the mission. Although Cecilia said that she had the assistance of her family, her strong ability can also be seen.

The larger of the two mechanical puppets was made by Cecilia based on the drawings left by Loblanche.

Primal Mechanical G112: Level 60, HP: 8000/8000

It has two to three thousand more health points than the most tanky tank professions at this stage. Not only that, but most importantly, it can also add various materials for continuous upgrading, which makes people very curious about what it will look like after the final upgrade.

According to the original description in LoBlanche's notes, it was a species that could be compared to the most terrifying weapons of war.

Chapter 3 Farewell

But apart from Cecilia, the rest of us have also made significant improvements in our strength.

Although Yiwen, like the two sisters, has not yet completed her job change, she accepted and completed a hidden professional task related to a thief with the help of the strategy I provided, and successfully became a shadow hunter. It is said that this profession can skillfully use shadows and kill people invisibly in the later stages.

It is precisely because of the power and high flexibility of this profession that the job transfer task is also extremely difficult, which is why Yiwen has been stuck in the middle link. Otherwise, according to Yiwen's strength and the "financial resources" behind him, he would have completed it as early as level 55.

Logically, Yiwen should continue the job transfer process, but because this mission is non-linear, and her mission target happened to be in the surrounding area of ​​the target required for the two sisters' mission, so she came here together. Although I suspect that she only clamored to come here because she heard that I would come to help.

Although the sisters Yun Xian and Yun Qian did not get a hidden profession like Yiwen, they were much better than ordinary paladins and priests with the help of skill books and some equipment that I occasionally got from the Holy Light Monastery.

And I also plan to tell them some news and tasks about legendary equipment, temple inheritance or special holy light abilities after they complete their job transfer, so that they can pursue them and improve their strength again.

As for me, there is no need to mention it. Because of the powerful template making function of Magic Disguise, I can disguise myself as any profession without completing the job transfer task.

However, due to the different job transfer directions and different professions, I am now superficially a combination of the professions of a first-turn great thief and a first-turn dark word magician, specializing in guerrilla lock picking and flexible combat, and area magic and curses respectively.

Moreover, I upgraded the attributeless magic crystal bound to me to level 56, which is almost the same. The extra cooldown recovery and mana recovery speed means that when I switch to Dark Word Mage to cast spells, I don't need to use the magic bottle at all, which makes the operation more convenient and increases the frequency of output.

The only strange thing is that until it was upgraded to level 56, this magic crystal had no attribute transformation. Those without attributes would generally have a trend when they reach level 40, such as skills gaining attributes such as damage enhancement and passive.

If I hadn't compared it before and found that the attribute gain provided by my piece was much greater than that of ordinary magic crystals, I would have considered discarding it and replacing it with another dark belt as early as then.

Therefore, from what has been mentioned, we can roughly see our combat capabilities. For other players, to kill a level 70 dark wizard in the cave of Zeyue Mountains, it must require the cooperation of more than 20 or even 30 people.

But for us, it only requires a few people to work together.

In just one or two hours, we killed more than 300 dark wizards in the cave, earned some experience and a few gold and silver equipment, and most importantly, completed a part of the sisters' job transfer process.

"Should these be enough?" After killing the last dark wizard in this area with a shadow arrow, I shook my sore arms and looked at Yun Xian.

Yun Xian glanced at her task panel and nodded, "Well, the next step is to destroy a lich tribe inside the mountains."

"I'm going to get the secret weapon in the forest next to me. It seems I need to fight a BOSS." Yun Qian added.

"The Lich Tribe is easy. You can see a high ground nearby. The height difference between the high ground and the high ground will prevent the monsters from hitting you. Cecilia will block the hole with a mechanical puppet and you just need to deal damage while Yiwen will interfere with the witch doctor and wizard."

"Xiao Qian's mission is a little difficult. You must first find a doctor named 'Carl' to complete the mission and obtain a special item. This item can weaken the minions summoned by the BOSS. If possible, it is best to ask a few players to join you."

After hearing what Yun Xian and Yun Qian said, I thought about it in my mind and recalled some rough details to tell them, while also introducing the Rose Heart Guild, "It just so happens that Sister Duolan and the others are leveling up near this area, so we can ask them for help."

During this period of time, I had frequent contact with the Rose Heart, providing the other party with a lot of dungeon strategies and the locations of rare BOSSes. In return, the Rose Heart also provided Yue Chang'an with more material supplies, and would find a way to get some special props and materials for me if I contacted her.

Therefore, under the mutual benefit, the relationship is getting closer. Dolan had heard before that there were two more people in the "Lolita Squad" besides Cecilia and Ivan whom she had met before, so she has always been curious and wanted to take this opportunity to let the two sides get to know each other.

Of course, it is unknown whether there is an intention to divert the attention of the lolita-loving group.

Yiwen, who was standing next to him, was originally listening curiously, but as he listened, he realized something was wrong. "Wait, why is An An talking in such detail? Aren't you going to join us later?"

"What else? I have other things to do, so I don't have that much time to accompany you." I shrugged. "If I don't hurry up and get stronger, I will be pushed down by those players, and my virginity may even be taken away. You definitely don't want that, do you?"

After two months of gradual contact, he tricked the two sisters into his dark army. However, he did not directly tell them the identity of the devil like Ivan and Cecilia. Instead, he euphemistically explained that he had only received a hidden mission and became a relatively special existence in the dark camp.

That's why I said this half-jokingly.

Yiwen thought about it very seriously, and finally made up his mind, and came forward shamelessly, "Then I'll have to take away An An's virginity first, um, no, it seems that I have already taken it... Ouch..."

Then I hit him on the head and he went to the corner and wailed.

When the others heard that I was leaving, they all looked a little disappointed. After all, it was a game between children, and one would feel a little disappointed if one of their partners was missing. Fortunately, they were not ignorant of the importance of the matter, so after saying goodbye to them, I also left the cave.

After walking away, she seemed to still hear Yiwen's voice comforting Yun Qian from behind.

"Don't be sad, Xiao Qian. Even though Xiao Tong's mom is gone, we still have Yi Wen and Pa Pa here to keep her company... Awooo!"

It’s easy to tell who beat this guy and who was watching the show.

But after leaving, I did not immediately use the scroll to return to the nearest city, but continued to walk deeper into the mountain cave.

"I remember there seems to be a special place here. Where is it?"

After switching my profession to a thief and entering stealth, I avoided the monsters around me and followed my vague memory to find the location described in the post.

Chapter 4: Jackal Cave

The caves in the Zeyue Mountains are interconnected. Even with the map provided by the system, it is easy to get lost due to the complexity and highly branched and overlapping routes.

What's more, I am a person with poor sense of direction. After a moment, I couldn't tell the direction. I could only continue walking. Within ten minutes, I came to an open space that looked no different from other areas of the cave.

The only difference is probably that scattered ores have begun to appear on the ground, and the monsters here have been replaced by jackal miners. Not far away, you can see tracks and mine carts leading to the depths. It is estimated that this is a former mining area.

"Strange, I remember it was nearby, and the post didn't seem to mention where these monsters came from." Looking at the gnolls wandering around, I couldn't help but doubt if my memory was wrong.

Just as I had been searching nearby for a long time without finding anything, I sighed and was about to use the scroll to return to the city, but suddenly I noticed a jackal miner in the middle of the open space that looked a little special. It stopped wandering and walked slowly towards the depths of a mine tunnel.

Driven by curiosity, I couldn't help but follow quietly.

I followed this special monster for a short distance. As my vision suddenly became brighter at the end of the passage, I found myself suddenly in an extremely open cave, which was surrounded by many mine tunnels of different sizes.

Nearly a thousand jackals were constantly chiseling at the surrounding stone walls and the ore on the ground.

The uneven ground was dotted with stone pillars and rocks of varying sizes, forming a dozen high platforms in the middle. Wandering on these platforms were leader-level jackal overseers as high as level 80, apparently supervising the digging of the jackal miners below.

While I was distracted, I realized that the special miner had disappeared. After careful searching, I found it. The miner passed through the cave and came to the steps built of stones in the distance. At the top of the steps, he handed the collected special ore to a huge figure that looked extremely oppressive.

Jackal Chief【Leader Level】: Level 90, HP: 750000/750000

A level 90 leader?

I was a little surprised. Although boss-level monsters are not uncommon nowadays, and I have deployed dozens of bosses during the previous attack and defense of the ruins, this level is still relatively rare. Moreover, the name of this monster is slightly red, which is as strange as flowing blood.

In the previous life, this meant possessing special abilities and a certain degree of wisdom. As long as some time or special events were given, it would be very likely to evolve into a command-level BOSS.

With a leader like this, plus the chief supervisors on the platform, and thousands of monsters around, even the large guilds would have to send out all their elite groups to clear this place out.

I couldn't help but mutter, but I didn't expect that the jackal leader seemed to have noticed something and opened his eyes to look in my direction. The sharp gaze reflected in his wolf-like pupils, with its hidden viciousness and cruelty, made me hold my breath and crouch in the same place without moving.

Fortunately, at this distance, even a level 90 special leader couldn't find the hidden thief. He probably just glanced at him casually a few times and then closed his eyes again as if he was taking a rest.

"Huh." I breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't dare to stay. When I changed my position, I suddenly discovered that the steps where the jackal leader was located was only the middle area. At the top of the steps there was a passage with strange patterns carved around the entrance. My intuition told me that there must be some treasure hidden in it.

The brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. I immediately gave up the idea of ​​leaving and thought about how to get closer to that place. However, even if I had this idea, with my personality, I would definitely think carefully and ensure my own safety.

Stealth is of course impossible. To enter the passage, I must pass the Jackal Leader. Given the level difference between me and the other party, even a leader might be able to detect it, let alone a special leader.

As I was thinking, I observed the situation inside the cave. Thanks to the observation skills I developed in my previous life, I keenly discovered that there seemed to be many small pipes dug out on the walls of the cave, which seemed to be connected to the depths.

These pipes should be used for exhaust and ventilation, and there is a pipe extending inward above the mysterious passage, and there happens to be a circle of extension built around it. Although you can't walk normally, as long as you are careful, you should be able to feel your way over there, and then find a way to enter the passage from the pipe.

However, these pipes are 20 to 30 meters above the ground. Even thieves who are known for their agility would find it difficult to climb to such a high place without the help of special props.

"It seems I have to spend some time or go to the auction house to find some special items. Otherwise, I will just have to look at the treasures I encounter in the future."

I couldn't help but murmur.

However, as a qualified thief, he naturally needs to know how to deal with things flexibly. Even if he doesn't have special props, he still has other displacement skills to help him. Moreover, the complex and changeable terrain here can also be used as a point of advantage.

I carefully observed the surroundings of the cave again, especially the undulating stone platforms in the middle, and soon found several platforms close to the surrounding walls. However, there were leader-level jackal supervisors on these platforms, and there were many jackal captains protecting them.

"Even among the monsters there are evil lackeys of the capitalist class. This world is truly abominable."

I silently complained in my mind.

However, relying on the experience gained from everyone's trouble-finding, I, with my sharp eyesight, found a location with relatively fewer monsters in a short while. After observing it for a while, I immediately had an idea.

After I had the idea, I immediately took action, carefully clambered down from the high ground in front of me, bypassed a group of jackal miners who were mining ore in front of me, and gradually approached the middle position.

However, not only were there miners working down there, there were also a number of jackal guards forming patrol teams, constantly inspecting the interior of the cave, especially in the middle, where there were several more teams taking turns patrolling.

Carefully sticking to a corner, I carefully observed the actions of these jackal guards, silently calculating in my heart.

Fortunately, these jackal guards should have relatively fixed patrol routes according to the orders of the supervisors and the general, which allowed me to successfully discover the pattern. The moment one team just left, I followed them without thinking.

The monster's alert distance is not fixed and will change. The most obvious one is that if there is an obstacle in between, the alertness on this straight line will be reduced to a certain extent.

When another team of Jackal Guards appeared in front of me and took over from the previous team and were patrolling towards me, I glanced to the side and squeezed into the gap between two stone pillars as calculated.

"one two Three……"

After counting the time silently for a while, he exerted force on his feet, causing his speed to suddenly increase. He instantly moved to another stone wall through the gaps between the patrol teams.

Chapter 5: Treasure Place

A jackal guard at the end of the team seemed to have discovered something, and shook his furry head and looked around.

It's just that I have the effect of stealth bonus. For a thief like me who knows how to hide my breath as low as possible, it would be a shame if I was discovered by an ordinary monster with a level difference of no more than 10 levels.

What's more, he took advantage of the obstacles to provide cover.

So the jackal guard, who found nothing, did not have any extra thoughts with his simple wisdom, and followed his companions in front of him with his head shaking, and slowly left.

However, I did not leave in a hurry. Instead, I touched the corner of the wall, waited for the next patrol team to pass by, and followed them again from a distance.

Then, when the former was handing over to the other two patrol teams, he took advantage of the fact that the monsters in the three teams did not turn their sights over and immediately used the instant step.

In just a moment, they had successfully reached the central platform.

However, I did not walk up the stairs normally. Instead, I looked at the undulating stone pillars nearby. After all, if I walked up the stairs normally, it would be extremely difficult for the jackal captains who were crowded together for patrol to find the gaps.

call out.

With the thief's agility, he easily jumped to the top of one of the stone pillars.

"I miss it so much. I used to do this kind of thing all the time." Looking at the monsters passing by below, my thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

Because I was a lone wizard in my previous life, I would often pay attention to some special locations when leveling up. For example, for high ground like this, I would often use high-level flash magic to flash up there, and then fearlessly kill the monsters below that could not be approached.

But now is obviously not the time to think about these things. I shook off the thoughts, used the cover of the stone pillars and moved, continuously leaping to the top of the platform, and successfully reached the highest position.

But as soon as he took a step onto the ground, a jackal overseer on the overpass in the distance immediately cast his gaze over.

I immediately pressed myself against the wall at the corner and held my breath. Only then did the other party's vigilance slowly fade away and his attention turned away.

"These high-level monsters are really difficult to deal with."
