How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

I secretly complained, and then I threw myself into Claire's arms, hugged her tightly, and at the same time raised my head with a look full of expectation, "Sister Claire, I'm counting on you."

Hill observed and recorded with great interest.

Satasia and Garcinia didn't know what to say.

Yuka, who was still in shock, widened his eyes.

Claire, who was asked by Lolita in this way, immediately exploded her small universe. In just over ten minutes, she used her power to help purify the blood crystal clusters outside the bodies of these ice demons and fire demons.

During this process, other elemental demons such as Sevilla gradually woke up.

After Satasia and Jacinia’s explanation, they all immediately joined Youka’s Kazilan big-eyed group.

It was not until the last few elemental demons escaped from the blood crystal cluster that Claire took back her power. The huge mental exhaustion made her stagger with exhaustion.

Fortunately, Hill and I were there and supported her in time.

"Sister Claire, please take a rest first."

I said to Claire, who looked exhausted, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Claire nodded, closed her eyes and fell asleep, but even so she did not remove the magic circle around her that was resisting the influence of the blood crystal.

I then gave orders to others.

"Let's go back to the surface."

Claire had consumed too much energy, and Yuka, Sevilla and the others had just been freed from the influence of the blood crystal cluster, so most of their vitality had been eroded and their strength had been greatly weakened.

Now is not the time to explore the ruins.

Just when we were packing up and preparing to return.

I suddenly felt something and looked at the ancient library and ancient art gallery in my backpack.

Just now, the two holy objects seemed to have emitted a faint sensation.

This situation would occur. Could it be that this underground space contains ancient libraries and art galleries?

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

Hill noticed that there was something wrong with my expression and asked.

"nothing."

I shook my head.

Even if there are any scattered ones, we will have to leave them for later exploration.

After an hour of clearing out the monsters along the way, we finally returned to the building on the surface through the teleportation array and left the central area blocked by the blood crystal.

"Satasia, you and Garcinia take them back to the Demon King's Castle to rest first. I have reserved energy for you."

"Thank you, Demon Lord."

Looking at the unusually serious Satasia in front of me, I stuck out my tongue and said, "I'm still a little uncomfortable with you being so serious. After all, you are still my subordinate, so there's no need to be so formal."

"Yes, Lord Demon King!"

Satasia chuckled.

He saluted me in a funny way, then left with his sister and his people.

However, before leaving, the two sisters asked me to help convey their gratitude to Claire.

"Ms. Satasia, you seem to have changed a little bit compared to before."

Hill looked at Satasia's departing back.

"After all, this idiot's only worry has been resolved."

I smiled slightly, but suddenly remembered a talent that still existed on Satasia's attribute column.

"…Well, maybe there is still something on my mind."

Just when the two sisters were leaving with their tribesmen, Kai and others arrived at the same time and brought the news.

"Your Highness, we have roughly understood the information about the Blood Source Crystal."

Chapter 78: Fermentation Heat

When Claire opened her eyes from her deep sleep, she found herself resting on warm and soft knees.

There is still a pleasant aroma like milk lingering between the nostrils.

Just when she was distracted for a moment, she heard a voice coming from above her head.

"Well, Sister Claire, are you awake?"

"Your Highness?"

Claire was about to get up, but I held her down with my hand.

"Don't move. You have used up too much energy before. You must have a good rest."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm fine..."

Claire wanted to speak again.

But before she could finish, I interrupted her and glared at her, "Don't be so stubborn, just listen to me, or I will be angry."

Claire had no choice but to lie back down.

She looked helpless on the surface, but her slightly trembling hands revealed her uneasy mind.

This hypocritical guy.

I secretly complained in my heart. I was well aware of her little thoughts, but I didn't expose them. After all, Claire had helped me so much before, and rewarding her in this way was nothing at all.

"Satasia and Garcinia asked me to help relay this message. They are very grateful for your help."

Similarly, I also informed Claire of the monastery's research results on the blood crystal.

This kind of crystal has a wide range of uses.

In addition to being able to efficiently convert energy, it is also an excellent forging and alchemy material.

It can be used to add special properties to equipment or to add special effects to items.

However, the current level of players' secondary occupations is not high enough, and the props and equipment produced are at least level 180 or above, so this aspect cannot be effectively applied for the time being.

This point was also confirmed by Sister Changan and Yunyan.

It cannot be applied to players, and my idea that it would be a great help to the guild has been dashed.

But for the Demon King's Castle, Berghead and the Holy Light Monastery, they can all be used as precious materials and it is not a loss.

Kai and others discovered the location of the city's core.

Located outside the central area, it is obvious that the indigenous people of the blood source ruins migrated there for fear of accidents, and it has been preserved intact after hundreds of years.

So while Claire was sleeping.

I have used the energy of the Heart of Herontis to occupy the Blood Source Ruins and turned it into a secondary city affiliated with the Demon King's City.

Although this subsidiary city is a little far away...

Moreover, it is clearly a subsidiary city, and its development scale is not that much larger than that of the Demon King's Castle...

the most important is--

"The energy has been almost completely used up."

I shrugged, feeling quite helpless.

Activating the city core not only uses up the energy accumulated during this period.

If it weren't for the fact that all the buildings in the Bloodborne Ruins still existed and were preserved to this day, he might not even be able to activate it. Even so, he still had to disband several of his monster gathering points before he could barely meet the energy requirements.

However, activation alone does not mean you can sit back and relax.

The Demon King's City and the Blood Source Ruins, a hub city, a mid-level city, and all the daily expenses are added together.

It can be said that he is now in a state of spending more than he earns, and even with Berghead's support, he cannot hold on for long.

"The monastery can send two thousand members to garrison and help collect the blood source crystals here. As for the underground space, Your Highness can wait until I recover before setting off."

Claire understood.

She had thought of the same thing as me before. Berghead was unable to send troops, and the monsters on my side were naturally not capable of such a task, so the monastery had to take on this position.

Two thousand monastery members may not sound like a lot, but considering the impact of the blood crystal here, Claire must have sent members with certain strength here. These words are enough to reflect the other party's intentions.

Because of my current energy expenditure, I definitely need to start working immediately.

Moreover, the problem of the underground space in the central area must also be solved. After all, it is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.

However, faced with such good intentions, I shook my head.

"Yuka has explained the situation in the underground space. As long as there is no movement similar to the war eighty years ago, there will generally be no danger."

"Well, if you have time, Sister Claire, please come with me to the third level of the underground space some other day."

Because from Yuka's description, we learned that there seemed to be scattered things like ancient libraries and ancient galleries on the third underground floor.

"As for other aspects like resource collection, don't worry too much, Sister Claire. You just need to send some people over to help Hill manage the city with Kai and the others. And guard it at the same time."

"Manage... a city?"

Looking at Claire's puzzled expression.

I smiled and blinked.

"Because I found other helpers."

"I forgot to tell Sister Claire that the Blood Crystal has a very special use."

Yes.

It is so special that after hearing about the ability of this blood crystal.

I can't help but think of a word that can't be better used to describe Bloodborne Ruins——

Red City.

……

Orwyn Empire, Lance region, Dragon's Breath Forest.

After more than ten days of fermentation, the ancient ruins in the magma basin attracted more and more players.

However, the magma basin is located in a remote area, in the upper reaches of the Red Cloud Canyon on the edge of the Dragon's Breath Forest. There are no nearby supply towns around it, and the nearest town is about 30 kilometers away.

This requires that the player team must be fully prepared before setting off, or a special team must be arranged to transport supplies back and forth. Of course, the latter is only the practice of guilds and studios.

When ordinary players run out of supplies, they can only return to the town helplessly and then go through the trouble of crossing the 30-kilometer distance again.

Fortunately, some time ago, the governor of Qiuluo Castle saw the rapid development of the ancient ruins, so he specially dispatched craftsmen to the lava basin to establish a supply point under the protection of the army.

This supply point is located on the west side of the magma basin, only two or three kilometers away from the entrance of the ancient ruins. Although it is simple, it is only the size of a village or town.

However, it is fully equipped with all the necessary functions, including a pharmacy, blacksmith shop, and alchemy workshop.

The most important thing is that there is a teleportation array leading to Qiuluo Castle, so you can return to Qiuluo Castle at any time for more complete supplies. However, the cost of teleportation for one person is a bit expensive, costing 50 silver coins each time.

This has caused many cash-strapped players to sell themselves to profiteers, but they have no choice but to pay to avoid wasting precious time in the middle of the game.

This amount of money is a large expense for ordinary players.

For the big guilds, it is not something they care too much about.

Black King Caesar casually spent a hundred gold coins and brought two hundred of his men to the supply point in the lava basin.

They had already prepared supplies in Qiuluo Castle, so they naturally didn't need to stay at the supply point. On the route from the supply point to the ancient ruins, the monsters that appeared had been easily dealt with by the endless stream of players.

They easily reached the depths of the underground passage.

Chapter 79: The copy of the third floor of the ruins

The paths of the underground passages are very complicated, and according to players' statistics, there are at least hundreds of them.

But no matter how complicated the route was, it could not resist the enthusiasm of the players, and they soon excavated the main space of the ruins.

On the forum, there are data gurus who have integrated the scattered spaces around them into a map of ancient ruins, which has become a popular post, with some earning three or four hundred thousand yuan so far.
