How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

"Your Highness, there should be drawings of the initial building in your backpack."

He is obviously the Demon King but he can actually use the player's backpack function. I couldn't help but complain a little, but I also did as Hill said and threw the three drawings in the backpack into the mechanical device.

As the drawings and paintings disappeared, an extra line suddenly appeared under the original simple panel.

Constructible buildings: Dark Bat Nest, Slime Nest, Green Monster Nest

I clicked on one item out of curiosity, and the detailed information of the building appeared.

Dark Bat Lair

Category: Monster Lair

Capacity: 2000

Construction Required: 30 Energy

Hatched: Dark Bat (99%), Dark Bat Elite (1%)

Hatching conditions: Energy, dark elements

The information about the other two nests is similar.

"These are the initial monster nests that can hatch monsters from the dark camp. The numbers behind them are the hatching probability. The Demon Lord can also hatch elites by investing extra energy. In addition to the necessary energy, each monster also requires specific materials to hatch. These materials can be obtained by gathering material points, destroying wild monster groups, challenging bosses, etc."

"Hey, can Hill see these too?"

"Yes, but the Heart of Herontis can only be controlled by His Majesty the Demon King."

Hill continued to introduce, "In addition to being incorporated into the Demon King's army, monsters can also be teleported from the teleportation room to the monster gathering place of the Light Camp. However, the prerequisite is that the Demon King uses the dark erosion ability within the Demon King's power to create a territory in the world of the Light Camp."

"Then what's the use of this monster gathering place?" I almost knew what the monster gathering place Hill was talking about.

It's probably the same as leveling points. It sounds very interesting that the Demon King has such ability.

"Monsters defeated by players in the monster gathering area will be converted back into energy and returned to the nest. There will be no energy loss in the process, but instead there will be additional replenishment. For example, each dark bat consumes 0.05 energy, and the energy converted after being defeated is about 0.052."

Isn't this an evil idle development game?

I couldn't help but think of this, and suddenly I felt a little bored.

However, Hill's next words made my eyes light up again, "If the adventurer is defeated by the monster or the damage caused exceeds a certain level, it will be converted into energy according to the adventurer's level. Compared with the first two methods, the conversion ratio is higher. If the adventurer's dropped equipment is not picked up within a certain period of time, it will also be converted according to the ratio or recycled to the warehouse of the Demon King's City."

"That means we want them to suffer as much damage or be defeated as possible, right?"

"It depends on what the Demon King chooses."

Although the former is indeed very comfortable, energy must be a very important resource. If it is obtained at this speed, the dark camp will definitely be overtaken by other players before it can even develop, while the latter is much faster.

And defeating players is very interesting just by thinking about it. After all, I am a demon king, so there is nothing wrong with doing so.

However, how to better defraud players is a question worth thinking about.

"Anyway, let's hatch a monster and see."

After choosing to build the Dark Bat Nest, I followed Hill's instructions and started spending energy at the Tree of Eternity to hatch spirits.

Compared to the dark bats that can be hatched with 0.05 points of energy, the energy required to hatch a monster is as high as 1 point. However, for the current Demon King’s City, this is the only productivity, so I had to puff up my cheeks and pay 20 points of energy.

In the light screen projected by the Heart of Herontis, black balls of light soon emerged from under a towering tree emitting a hazy light, which made me think of chubby dumplings.

It's clearly the dark camp, so why is the style so cute? Could it be because I'm in underage mode?

I couldn't help but complain and directed them to the material collection point.

Because the dark element can be said to be the most common element on the other side of the world, under Hill's guidance, they quickly found a dark element collection point for mining.

The collection speed of the goblins is 0.5 units of dark elements per minute, and the hatching of each dark bat requires 1 unit of dark elements, which means that apart from energy, the nest can hatch ten dark bats in one minute.

In the terminology of the game, ten dark bats will be refreshed in the monster gathering area every minute.

Because the level of the building is low, it doesn't take much time to build the dark bat's nest.

System: Trigger the mission [Dark Bat's Carnival Feast (I)]

Mission: Dark Bat's Carnival

Mission description: Use the dark bat nest to create a carnival feast. This will be the first lesson the devil teaches the light camp.

Mission requirements: Produce dark bats (0/5000)

Mission Reward: 20 Energy, 1000 Experience, 500 Dark Elements

"Hey, can I still get a mission?"

I blinked, but when I thought about the fact that I, as a demon king, had a backpack, it wasn't so surprising to accept the mission.

With the motivation of the mission, I became more motivated. Following Hill's instructions, I threw the dark elements I had collected earlier into the mine.

As energy and materials were invested, more than thirty dark bats appeared outside the nest, and one of them was teleported in front of me using the power of the Heart of Herontis.

It doesn't look much different from real bats, except that the dark bats appear more cartoon-like and even look a bit cute.

Dark Bat【Editable】

Rating: 3

Blood volume: 150

Attack: 30

Defense: 18

Drops: Bat Claw, Bat Venom, Random Equipment, Skill Book

A very standard primary monster template, and the physical characteristics of the dark bat determine that it is a type with high attack and low defense among monsters of the same level.

"Hey. Hill, what does this [Editable] mean?" I suddenly noticed the button behind the dark bat and asked curiously.

"For all monsters, the Demon King can upgrade their levels and modify their abilities within a certain range." Hill's explanation made my eyes light up.

If, as Hill said before, monsters will return extra energy when they are defeated, and players will gain more energy when they are defeated, does this mean that I can use this editing monster ability to formulate a principle to better match these two points?

For example, high attack means it is easier to defeat the player, and low health and low defense means it is easier to be killed by the player.

Of course, we cannot simply follow this principle. There must be a certain balance. To achieve this balance, it is necessary to draw on one's past life experience.

"Among the level 3 attributes, the highest defense is in shield combat. But even if you learn defensive stance and iron wall, it shouldn't exceed 50 at this stage. The maximum HP is 200. You just need to adjust the attack to 40..."

After my modification, the dark bat suddenly had attributes close to extremes: attack 40, defense 10, and health 120.

As for the levels, I didn't do anything about it. After all, the Era server has just been launched not long ago, and the levels of mainstream players are mostly between 2 and 3, which just fits the level of the dark bat gathering place.

The most important thing is that upgrading the level requires additional energy. Although there is still a lot of energy left, I decided not to use it for the time being just in case.

Logically speaking, the setting of this kind of monster is enough to give players a headache, and even I probably won’t be able to please it, but I’m still not completely satisfied.

"Hill, can you make more specific adjustments?"

"Your Majesty the Demon King can open the editing space." Because the Heart of Herentis was already bound, I was able to take it out of the mechanical device, and Hill didn't have to lift me up, although it was nothing to her.

With Hill's instructions, I quickly understood the various functions of the editing space. Simply put, it is to create a template, specify the various elements of the monster in the template, and then apply this template to some or all of the monsters.

After understanding, the next step is adjustment.

First, set the habit of the dark bats to usually act in groups of three or four. This way, even a high-defense shield will only take three rounds to empty its health bar.

With the attack speed of the Dark Bat, it is probably as simple as a otaku dying after seeing his paper wife typing out the awsl barrage.

But at this moment, I suddenly thought of something and adjusted the original plan.

"Adjust the attributes of a dark bat in the team to attack 20, defense 30, health 150, and reduce its size."

Although defense cannot be judged by appearance alone, normal people will subconsciously think that smaller ones have slightly weaker defense. This is the psychological suggestion given by vision.

Thinking that many people might fall into my trap because of this, I couldn't help but curl up the corners of my mouth as if I had played a successful prank.

"No, no, that's not enough. What's next is..."

"The maximum range of the fire explosion in group magic is three yards, so the distance between adjacent dark bats is adjusted to 3.1 yards. Oh, that's not okay, then 2.6 yards is fine, the difference is not much different."

"..."

After finally finishing a series of settings, I clapped my hands excitedly, "Perfect~"

But suddenly he noticed a strange gaze coming from behind him. He turned his head curiously and found that it was Hill who was looking at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Would your Majesty the Demon King like some tea?"

"Okay!"

Resting after a busy day is always the best, and the black tea brewed by Hill is unexpectedly delicious. No wonder Alice recommended it so much before.

"What's the name of this black tea? It's delicious."

"This is made by drying and chopping the petals of the Kepa flower from the Cat Mark Forest, so it is called "Wind Cat Mark Kepa" tea."

"...Hill, I suspect there is something else behind your words."

"I don't have any."

Chapter 6: Target, Soma Town

The human empire of Olwen, the small town of Soma.

Although there are only some basic buildings in the town, such as pharmacies, equipment stores, appraisal institutes and personal warehouses, etc.

It looks no different from other small towns in the Orwyn Empire, but that was the previous description.

Ever since most players discovered that the leveling sites around Soma Town cover levels 1-10 with a very smooth transition, and that there are many tasks issued by NPCs in the town, and even hidden tasks, Soma Town has become one of the most popular towns in the Orwin Empire.

Every moment, a group of players would appear in the magic circle of the teleportation hall. After using the few coins they had on them to replenish their supplies, they would rush to various leveling places outside the town to kill monsters and level up.

Or you can choose your favorite equipment from the players' stalls in the town to enhance your own strength.

The streets and squares inside the town are filled with people coming and going, making it look very lively.

"The best level 3 white plate armor, defense 12, affordable price only ten copper coins."

"A large amount of primary herbs needed by pharmacists to make potions. Buy them as soon as possible."

"Arcane Missiles, Fireball, brothers who play mages can come and see if there is anything you need."

"A freshly made bronze-grade staff that adds 10% ice damage. It comes at a price."

The appearance of bronze equipment immediately attracted the attention of most players. More than ten people stopped in front of the warrior who made the sound, surrounding the stall. There were also many players outside who wanted to squeeze in.

Compared with other online games, the drop rate of equipment in Era is lower, and equipment with attributes can usually only be dropped by monsters above elite level.

Therefore, in the current situation where the server has just been launched, bronze-level equipment can be said to be extremely rare.

In addition, this is a currently popular mage-type weapon, and it also has elemental damage bonus, so it is not unreasonable that it attracts so many players.

Ye Yuan passed by and couldn't help but glanced at him, but he quickly retracted his gaze.

If it were in the past, I might have been like these curious onlookers.

But now he is only slightly interested at most. After all, the weapon in his hand is not inferior at all.

Assassination Dagger (Bronze)

Level requirement: Level 3

Type: Mainhand weapon

Attributes: Attack 15, Agility +3, 5% chance of additional damage aggravation effect when attacking.

Attack Speed: 2.1

Limited to: Thieves

This was the loot that she had spent a lot of effort to get out of a hidden treasure chest, and she almost lost her life for it.

However, the fact that the leveling speed was significantly improved later proved that it was all worth it.

After leaving the town of Soma, Nightwish quickly rushed to the surrounding level 3 leveling area.

She entered the game about three days late and finally raised her level to level 3 after much effort.

Although this level is very common compared to other players, it is already very good for a solo rogue player. You should know that the highest level rogue now only has 4% more experience than level 30.

"I have to level up quickly to catch up with Sister Youyou and the others."

Thinking of this, Yeyuan clenched the bronze dagger in his hand and quickened his pace.
