How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

I told my aunt and others about this method, and they also agreed with it.

After the planning of the fortress was agreed upon, it was natural to start construction.

Since I had classes the next day, I pulled Yiwen, who was playing with Ali next to me, offline together.

When we went online the next day, the atmosphere in Hope City-State had obviously become hotter compared to the desolate and abandoned appearance of yesterday, and various construction projects were progressing in full swing.

Various shops are set up in the commercial district to attract business investment, which is also the main source of income for all fortresses.

Various houses have been built in the residential area, which can be used to accommodate guild members and also provide more personnel to participate in fortress wars.

Naturally, city defense buildings such as the Mage Tower, War Statue, and Barracks cannot be left behind. The former can provide magic recovery and spell bonuses to the guild mage, and the war statue can provide attack bonuses for melee professions.

As for the various barracks, they can recruit indigenous people as city defense troops.

Chapter 3 Return to the Forest Ruins

In addition to these buildings, plans such as parks and central squares are also being implemented. After all, fortresses are not only used for wars, but also the homes of guild members and the key points to attract other players.

It has a powerful and popular fortress, which was also the facade of the major guilds in the previous life.

Although they have not been completed yet, these buildings have already taken shape. They are lined up in rows and densely packed together, and appear to be of considerable scale.

This makes the Alice members in the fortress feel more proud and a special sense of belonging, and they are more committed to the construction.

For me, this sense of pride has faded a lot. After all, if we relax the concept, I have three cities under my control. Even if the Demon King's City has developed during this period of time, it cannot be compared with such a mid-level fortress.

"Ah, finally I can take a break."

Ivan stretched lazily beside him.

"Not always."

I summoned Ahri and fed her a rainbow crystal as a day's ration.

Now this little guy is getting closer and closer to the threshold of level 60, which makes me look forward to the qualitative changes that Ahri will have after entering the growth period, not to mention that I have a strange gem given by Achilles in my hand.

"Ah, anything else?"

Yuwen's face fell. She had been busy with this for a long time in the past half month.

I shrugged, "Come with me to find some special buildings."

Buildings that can be built within the core of a fortress, such as shops, houses, wizard towers or barracks, are all general buildings. These buildings can be built in every fortress if the conditions are met.

But some special buildings can only be discovered after completing tasks, exploring dungeons, or in special maps.

These special buildings often have more powerful effects. For example, the Monument to the God of War can provide twice the attack power bonus of an ordinary war statue at level one. The impact of this percentage bonus is naturally difficult to estimate.

It just so happens that I have several ways to obtain special building blueprints. Before they are obtained, I can collect them under the guild as soon as possible to provide a great help to the fortress.

It’s just that this guy Yiwen’s way of thinking is a little different.

"Really, An An, I know you want to date me alone, so don't use this as an excuse... You're wrong, you're wrong!"

After saying goodbye to Sister Fengye, I left Hope City with Yiwen.

Halfway through, I took some time to check the guild channel and found that there was still discussion about the guild occupying the Hope City-State, and my aunt and the others also expressed their willingness to work harder to complete their respective goals as soon as possible.

Except for Ivan and I, the elite members including Cecilia, sisters Yunxian and Yunqian, and my aunt and others were divided into different teams.

Some of them took over the three low-level fortresses that had already been captured and reclaimed land around them. After careful consideration, these three fortresses were all located in the Karen area to form an alliance, and they could develop rapidly with the popularity brought by Ansel, which was still gradually recovering and building.

Some are still in the process of completing national missions at the core of low-level fortresses.

If everything can be completed successfully, Alice will have one mid-level fortress and six low-level fortresses.

The benefits that will be brought by then are imaginable. Although it cannot be compared with the Star-Moon Workshop and the Auction House Alliance, it is more suitable for the financing of my father's company in reality.

Return to Gruin's hub city - Eide.

Since there happened to be a mission in the Gruin area, I planned to start from the nearby areas.

Although I know the village where I will take the mission, I can’t remember its location very clearly.

Moreover, this kind of village does not have a teleportation point like a town, and it cannot be found even through a teleportation array. You can only teleport to the nearest town and then explore it.

But I had already thought about this issue when I came here.

"Yiwen, have you found the thieves' group?"

Now more and more guilds have discovered the advantages of thieves and have begun to form groups of thieves. Alice is naturally no exception, or rather, she had already established a group of thieves with 4,000 people long before them.

They are all high-level professions, and all their equipment is above gold. They are funded by the guild and divided into different teams with different jobs. Some work with the intelligence department to collect intelligence, and some collect high-level materials for logistics and the Star-Moon Workshop.

Among them is an elite team of 200 thieves. Each of them was carefully selected by himself. Some of them were famous in their previous lives, while others were discovered. All of them possessed superb gaming skills.

The thieves' gang and the elite team are managed by Sister Ye Yuan and Yiwen respectively. It's not that no one has doubted that a child can be competent for such a position, but after competing with Yiwen, they all completely agree.

Before leaving Hope City, he asked Ivan to contact the members of the thieves' gang in the area to help search the village.

"An An, give me a kiss..." Yiwen wanted to play a trick, but when he saw me in a familiar fighting posture, he quickly changed his words and said, "Xiaotong and the others happened to be found nearby, in the Black Prison Mountains."

Black Prison Mountains?

I was a little surprised. It was a bit of a coincidence because this mountain range was near the Black Prison Forest, which was the town of Soma, where I first settled as the base of the Light Camp.

The light flashes along with the transmission.

Ivan and I appeared in the town of Soma. Looking at this familiar town, I felt nostalgic. I thought about how I used to worry about gold coins here, but now I have at least tens of thousands of gold coins on me.

Now that I have arrived at the town of Soma, and the village happens to be located near the Black Prison Forest, I decided to take a look at the forest ruins, which is the first leveling point I set up.

In order to travel more conveniently, I naturally switched to the profession of a thief.

With the agility bonus of the Lawrence Wings three-piece suit, he is not inferior to Ivan, who specializes in thieves, and is even slightly faster.

"Hmph, wait until I finish collecting all the Suogeth suits, An An, you will definitely not be able to outrun him."

"It's still a damaged effect." I rolled my eyes and reminded him.

"The one on him is also in a damaged state."

Now it's my turn to be a little surprised. Any equipment that is damaged, sealed, or fragmented must be at least epic level.

After all, ordinary equipment is not in such a mess. Players simply don’t bother to collect them. Even legendary equipment is not up to standard.

But after hearing what Yiwen said, I just remembered it.

I have heard the name Soget before. It seems that he is also a legendary thief like Lawrence.

It is not surprising that the equipment left behind is naturally epic, but I have only heard of this set in my previous life and don’t know the specific clues. It seems that Yiwen has found most of the clues, which is a good thing.

It took only a few minutes to talk.

We have come to the outskirts of the Black Prison Forest from the small town of Soma, crossing the bushes.

A familiar open space appeared before us.

Chapter 4 Redesign

The forest ruins were the first monster gathering place that he had set up. When the server was first opened, it was an extremely busy leveling spot in the entire Gruin area.

As the overall level of players increased, it gradually became deserted.

Even when he chose to occupy the Blood Source Ruins, he had the idea of ​​recycling energy from here.

However, out of sentimental considerations, it was retained.

Even I didn't expect the subsequent developments.

After Era launched a series of New Year activities and online advertising attracted a large number of new players, this area with a uniform distribution of monster levels and rich experience once again became a place for new players in the surrounding area to level up and fight monsters.

From prosperity to decline and then becoming lively again, it can be said to be a slightly tortuous journey.

Looking at the groups of players in the distance and the familiar market-like stalls.

I was quite emotional, "I didn't expect it has been more than half a year."

"That's right. Back then, An An was still such a shy and cute child."

Yuwen, who was standing nearby, also sighed and complained.

I was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other person was talking about the time when I transformed into Lilina. When I recalled the embarrassing experience at that time, blood rushed to my cheeks.

In order to ease the embarrassment, it seems that the only option is...

boom--

"I met you."

Ivan hid to the side with his head in his hands, looking pitiful, but his eyes accidentally caught sight of something and he ran forward happily.

“There’s a treasure chest!”

A silver light was faintly visible in the tree hole not far away. If Yiwen hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have noticed it. Perhaps this is why this treasure chest has been preserved until now.

Although given the level of the forest ruins, the things in this treasure chest are definitely of no use to us, but for many players, especially thieves, opening a treasure chest is like buying lottery tickets and grabbing red envelopes.

Even if you win ten dollars, it is still an extremely exciting thing.

Ignoring Ivan who ran away, I fell into deep thought.

Because Yiwen did remind himself.

This forest relic may have the potential for further improvement.

Although the Bloodborne Ruins accounted for the majority of his profits, as the old saying goes, even the smallest bit of meat is still meat.

and.

"The seniors all came this way, so you should also experience it to some extent, right?"

Once upon a time, all the players here were beaten to a pulp, but now these newbies have all kinds of strategies and tips from the forum, as well as good equipment passed down by old players, so they are basically much better than those old players.

Therefore, these monsters such as dark bats, little ghosts, gargoyles, etc. cannot pose much threat at all.

I can't bear to see my men being bullied by newbies.

I have already thought of some general ideas.

The prerequisite is to widen the level range of monsters here, and the difficulty should also be increased.

In order to avoid discouraging players, you can tamper with the monsters' drops, so that you will be reminded when you open the treasure chest.

Monsters drop treasure chest keys as well, allowing people in the monastery here to add treasure chests to the copy redemption rewards. This is similar to opening a blind box and can attract a lot of people.

All these are secondary.

What these new players are most concerned about now is naturally the efficiency of leveling.

In order to help these newcomers keep up with the mainstream players, Jiyuan has made great efforts.

Not only has the novice protection been extended to level 25, but during the novice protection period, neither experience nor items will be dropped after death. Moreover, players below level 40 will receive a gradually decreasing experience bonus based on the gap between their own level and level 40.

Below level ten, the improvement is twice the maximum.

This also causes novice players to run to areas with experienced monsters.

You can take advantage of this and add self-destruct skills to the elite monsters in the forest ruins, or the ordinary monsters with a small probability, and increase their attack power at the same time. Novice players may be killed if they are not careful.

The prerequisite is to increase the experience dropped by monsters such as dark bats, and by the way, let the monastery set up a teleportation array here.

In this way, monsters drop keys, copies provide a blind box mechanism, experience drops are richer than other places, and the teleportation array also saves time on traveling.

Even after death, there is no loss of experience and you can immediately return via the teleportation array.

You can even save money on scrolls and replenish supplies in town. Which novice player would not be tempted by such a great leveling point?

The deaths of these players will also bring more energy benefits to themselves, and because it is a low-level area, it will not cost too much for the monastery to set up a teleportation array.

It’s like killing two birds with one stone, a win-win situation.

As for the question of who is losing money, who cares?

Looking at the "newbies" in the distance who don't know yet what their future "happy" situation will be, I can't help but cover my mouth and laugh.

If Xiao Hei had not reached level 100 due to his own energy upgrade and was unable to be placed in a low-level gathering point, I would have been planning to let this group of newbies see the world.

However, Xiao Hei cannot bully novice players, which does not mean that there will be no BOSS in the forest ruins.

After upgrading a low-level monster nest to level five, bosses and leaders will be able to appear randomly like elites. For high-level monster nests, the Heart of Herontis needs to be upgraded to level four.

It is a pity that these chiefs and leaders can only exist in the gathering points and cannot become subordinates that they can arrange at will.
