How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Tris looked like she was about to cry, "But...but this is all the money I can get from the Chamber of Commerce. If I don't get any more money, I'll really have to sleep on the streets."

"Okay, okay, I can take you back, but the prerequisite is that you become my subordinate."

"Hey, I can become the Demon King's subordinate! Is it true?"

However, for Tris, this did not seem like a harsh condition at all. Rather, it seemed like a long-awaited dream. She agreed without any hesitation.

"You can now teleport back to the Demon King's City at any time with the power of the Heart of Herentis." After Tracy signed the contract, Hill gave her a brief explanation.

"Then when are we going back, Lord Demon!"

"Now you can."

"Oh, that's great! I can't wait to see the legendary city of Herontis!"

I was a little confused by his behavior. "Didn't you go to Herontis when you were in the Dark Camp?"

Tris shook her head, pinching the corner of her clothes a little embarrassedly, "As a branch of the Shadow Demon Clan, our family has lived in the Candina Mountains near the abyss for generations and has never left there."

"Well... actually it's not that much to look forward to."

It sounds like a conversation between a city guy and a country girl.

"No, Lord Demon King must be used to living in Helentis. For us, Helentis is the heart of the dark world and the birthplace of countless legends. It must be a magnificent capital city!" Tracy's face was full of longing.

Hill and I looked at each other.

"I hope Miss Trish can be mentally prepared."

"After all, it may be a little different from what you imagined."

"What?"

Chapter 33: You should worry about the players

"Herontis... Herontis..."

Faint murmurs echoed in the dark room. Rather than the whispers of a demon, it would be more appropriate to describe them as the groans of the dead.

The petite figure illuminated by the light from the stove was hugging her body pitifully and helplessly, trying to find a trace of warmth for comfort. However, the lifeless eyes had already proved that this was just a subconscious request.

It sounds terrifying just from this description, but in fact, this is just the reception room of the Demon King's Castle.

This loli, who seems to have lost all her life goals and turned gray, is neither a conquerable character who encounters BE in a Galgame, nor the heroine "afterwards" in the plot of a book. She is none other than Tris.

More specifically, it was Tris after seeing the city of Herontis.

To me, the other person's appearance at this moment is like that of a girl who has been chasing stars for more than ten years and accidentally sees that her idol is actually a gigolo working part-time in the nightclub next door (and she doesn't have the money to support him), or even worse than this situation.

Although this description itself is a bit bad, I think it is true that nothing is more despairing than seeing a beautiful fantasy shattered in an instant.

But it was just sympathy at most. After all, I had told the other party to be mentally prepared from the beginning, so I enjoyed the delicious black tea with peace of mind.

"Don't be disappointed, it will be rebuilt soon anyway."

"The Demon King's appearance is not convincing at all!"

So even if it is comfort, the result will be the same.

"Would you like a cup of black tea?" Hill, who was passing by, asked with a cup of tea in hand, but the only response she got was silent mumbling to herself.

Hill ignored her and placed the tea in front of Tris. "Because of the Final War, Herontis has become a ruin more than decades ago."

"Perhaps in your eyes, the current Herontis is just a child playing house, but as long as the Heart of Herontis is still there, I believe that under the leadership of Your Highness, Herontis' former glory can be restored."

"That's easy to say..." Tris muttered.

"Many legends of Herontis were born this way." Hill took a sip of black tea. "We may be creating legends now, just like those legends recorded in history many centuries later."

The words without much emotion seemed to have a strange magic because of the mellow black tea. "But the Herontis before was a legend that had nothing to do with you. The Herontis now has infinite possibilities. This is a legend created with your personal participation."

"My own legend..." Upon hearing this, Cui Si couldn't help but raise her head, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in her eyes.

"Yes, this is your legend, and it is also our legend, or we are the legend."

Those eyes sparkled like sapphires, but they were still hesitant. "But... can we really do this?"

“Let go of all your doubts and just work hard with an unstoppable spirit. Even if we fail, we have been the torrent in history, not the nameless sand and gravel that is crushed by it.”

Hill put down the teacup and looked at the person next to him indifferently.

"So, do you have the courage?"

The confusion in Tris's eyes disappeared after a moment. She instantly strengthened her determination and clenched her fists. "I...I understand. I will work hard for Herontis. Please let me know if you need anything!"

As expected of you.

Where Tris couldn't see, I secretly gave Hill a thumbs up and considered whether I should award him the title of best speaker.

But obviously not now, because I just remembered something.

"There is indeed something I need your help with. I remember that senior professionals should be able to teach secondary professional skills, right?"

The game has just been launched for a short time, and most of the current sub-professions are entry-level, not even at the novice level. If you can get advanced instruction at this time, you can be said to be far ahead of other sub-professional players.

Cui Si nodded. "By teaching, I can help the person I teach to improve their proficiency and success rate in refining."

It may sound great, but my focus is entirely on the front, "Is that all?"

Improving proficiency and success rate is good, but no matter what, I don’t have the time to improve the level of pharmacy.

"This is the safest option, and it can consolidate the subject's foundation in pharmacy to the greatest extent." Tracy explained.

But I caught the key point and asked curiously, "Are there other options?"

"There are other options, but it is not recommended. Although you can be promoted to an apprentice-level pharmacist right away, the subsequent proficiency you gain will be much less than normal, and the person you teach can only be promoted to an intermediate level at most."

Just like ordinary goods wholesaled from the assembly line, it is difficult to increase the price of the goods, and some of them only have their initial value.

but……

It seems like it could be used a little?

"That's it!" A brilliant idea suddenly popped into my head, and my eyes lit up.

"Eh?" Cui Si was stunned when she heard that, and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, Lord Demon, if you do this, you will..."

But before she could finish her words, Hill next to her blocked her mouth with a cup of black tea. "Don't worry, Your Highness will never do anything that is thankless. You should sympathize with those adventurers."

"Adventurer?" Tris blinked.

Quietly update, wish you a happy Christmas~

Chapter 34: The Worker is Still Working Hard

System: Complete the task [Senior Pharmacist Hill's commission]

System: Complete the task [Senior Pharmacist Hill's commission]

System: Complete the task [Senior Pharmacist Hill's commission]

……

After handing all the materials in the backpack to the store clerk who passed them on to the senior pharmacist Miss Hill, Lost Sunny Day also received a reminder that the task was completed.

Seeing that there were more than a dozen silver coins in her backpack, she felt a little better, but that was just the limit of being good.

“There’s no need to go to the bat cave near Winter Castle to make purchases today, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.” Lost Sunny Sky planned as he walked out of the store.

Just then, two players dressed in magic profession came to the front of the store, and Lost Sunny Day just passed by them.

"Well, has the number of people increased again?"

Although he knew that he was not the only one who noticed the strategy post, he could clearly feel that the number of players accepting quests was increasing visibly in the past few days. There were also several more players purchasing bat materials in the forest ruins of Soma Town.

Considering that if they continued to purchase materials at the forest ruins here, a lot of the materials they purchased would definitely be divided among them, Lost Sunny had moved to other cities to purchase bat materials.

Lost Sunny glanced at the two of them subconsciously, noticing the badges they wore on their chests. "Eternal Spire? I didn't expect they also knew about this hidden mission."

The Eternal Spire she mentioned is an old guild. Although it is not as famous as Stormwind, it is also one of the best in the online games that have been fought in the past.

"It's a bit difficult to handle."

Lost Sunny Sky had noticed that members of the Rose Heart Guild had been here before. If the Eternal Spire joined at this time, the benefits he could get would undoubtedly be much less.

After all, a lone player could never compete with a guild, which was a behemoth machine.

Lost Qingtian couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency, but after thinking about it he gave up his original idea. After making sure that no one had noticed this place, he walked out of the alley and headed towards the teleportation array.

The northern fortress, Winterhold.

This is a city in the Orwyn Empire near the snowy Far North. The falling snowflakes embellish the colors of the four seasons, decorating the entire city as beautiful and flawless as the "Imperial Snow Lotus" sung by the bards.

However, Lost Sunny had no intention of appreciating the beautiful snow scenery. As soon as he came out of the teleportation array, he arrived at the bat cave outside the Winter Castle.

Level three and four cave bats spawn here, and the considerable experience has attracted many players to come, making this a busy leveling location in Winter Castle.

Lost Sunny had just stopped at the entrance to the cave when the players who had already known her surrounded her.

"Finally I'm back. I've been waiting for you for a long time, sister."

"I just finished making the materials. It's still the same price as before, right?"

"Beauty, do you still want the bat claws and poison sac?"

"Of course I will. I'll take as many as you can." Lost Sunny Sky opened the transactions with the surrounding players one by one.

"Hey, girl, you and the beautiful girl over there have been buying bat materials here for so long, isn't it enough?" A player asked Lost Sunny Sky casually after trading the materials.

Lost Sunny Sky subconsciously glanced not far away and saw the other female player who was buying bat materials mentioned by the other party was right there. Although she came a day later than her, there were almost as many players around her as her.

In order to avoid the hidden mission being discovered, players who knew about the strategy post seemed to be following some rules unconsciously.

One of the rules is that there cannot be more than two or three groups of people purchasing materials in one area. For example, the forest ruins are now mainly occupied by players from Rose Heart who are responsible for purchasing materials.

After all, too many people means the danger of being exposed, and it would be somewhat thankless to go against them, especially when facing a large guild, so most people just accept the ownership of the forest ruins and go looking for another town that can purchase bat materials.

Lost Sunny was lucky enough to find this place, but she didn't expect that just one day after she came here to purchase bat materials, another player who knew about the hidden task came to find her.

Although she was not very happy, she did not care too much about it because the other party did not raise the price too much but chose to live in harmony with her. In addition, the drop rate of the cave bats refreshed here was quite good, so the purchased materials were not affected much.

"Well, after all, it's very difficult to upgrade your secondary profession nowadays, so these materials can only be considered a drop in the bucket." Shiluo Qingtian retracted his gaze, smiled, and said a few words before brushing the matter aside.

Just as she was about to continue purchasing materials, she suddenly heard a commotion coming from not far away.

Turning around, I found that a warrior player who had just arrived at the entrance of the bat cave was also claiming to be buying bat materials, and was shouting loudly over there.

"Collect the bat venom sacs, as many as you can get!"

Doesn't this guy see that there are already people here?

Shiluo Qingtian frowned, and was very unhappy with the rule-breaking behavior of this new "colleague", but she did not get angry because she knew that this guy would not gain anything.

The fact was just as Lost Sunny Day had expected, not many people at the entrance of the bat cave paid any attention to this warrior, no matter how loudly the other party shouted.

After all, the people who level up here are usually a few fixed teams or solo players. In these few days, these people have already become familiar with her and another player, and when they obtain materials, they will definitely choose to sell them to them first, rather than this "newcomer" who has just arrived.

Perhaps because the situation over there was somewhat eye-catching, the girl who was purchasing materials over there also cast a glance over there. Lost Sunny Day felt that she must be thinking the same thing as he was—

There is no place for you here anymore.

Lost Sunny Day hopes that the other party can understand this obvious truth and leave early to avoid getting into trouble.

However, the warrior's subsequent behavior was unexpected to Shiluo Qingtian and the girl, or they never thought that the other party would go to such an extent.

Chapter 35 Mysterious Mail

Perhaps it was because he hadn't purchased any materials for a long time and no one seemed to pay any attention to him, which made the soldier named Bozi Soda very confused.

It wasn't until he saw a group of players passing by and trading materials with a shooter or a fire mage not far away that he realized -

There were also people here buying up bat materials, and it seemed that they had occupied the market here before him.

"It's strange. Why are there always people collecting these materials? Poison sacs are fine, but I've never heard of any potion that requires the use of bat claws." Bozi Soda touched the back of his head.

But now is obviously not the time to think about this. If I fail to complete the guild mission, I will be the one in trouble.

After thinking it over, he raised the original purchase price by half. "Bat venom sacs, 6 copper coins per set, first come first served!"

Facts have proved that money is always the best solution. As soon as the warrior's voice sounded, the players who were originally surrounding Lost Sunny Sky and the female shooter suddenly rushed to the bubble soda.
