How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

It was quiet in the woods.

Even though the night sky was lit up by flares, the light that fell on a certain corner was only a little due to the layers of treetops and mist. It was not completely pitch dark, and there seemed to be man-eating beasts hiding in the depths.

He can fire flares to light up the surroundings, but using flares in this situation is undoubtedly a stupid thing to do. The light of the flares will attract the attention of other players, and then find his position. Even if it is just a possibility, the warlock must eliminate this possibility.

rustle.

The wind blew through the woods, making a sound, and there seemed to be a hint of chill in it.

The warlock suddenly turned around and raised his staff, but saw only a few leaves falling in the wind. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, and turned his head to stretch his body.

But the moment he turned around.

A petite figure fell from the top of the tree like a ghost, the dagger in her hand drew a sharp arc and suddenly stabbed into the warlock's neck in mid-air, pulling it down and splashing a bright blood.

As the dizziness sign appeared, the blood volume dropped sharply and fell by half in a short moment.

The warlock was horrified and tried to use his purification skill immediately, but the person behind him would never give him such a chance. He moved even faster and caught the dagger in his left hand the moment he landed.

Deboning, strangulation.

The remaining blood poured out, the warlock widened his eyes and tried to look back, but he could never catch sight of the attacker and fell to the ground and died, dropping all his nameplates.

At this moment, those few leaves have just fallen to the ground.

In just two or three seconds, a powerful warlock was killed. It was extremely terrifying.

However, someone behind the scenes seemed a little dissatisfied with the speed.

"It could be half a second faster. I'm a little rusty after not doing it for so long."

I turned the dagger, thinking back over the process and found a few areas that could be improved.

This was not some Versailles statement. After all, it had been more than a month since the diplomatic incident, and I hadn't used the rogue profession much. However, these battles had allowed me to quickly regain my feeling.

Ahri floated down from the tree and used telekinesis to pick up the nameplate that the other party dropped. I smiled slightly, touched Ahri's head, and put it in my backpack.

79 nameplates, a very rich loot.

Including the five players killed before, his points have reached 487 since he went online.

"Just find one or two more and it should be OK."

My plan is to increase the number of nameplates to five hundred to six hundred tonight, so that I can ensure the possibility of qualifying and should be able to occupy the top position on the list.

Look up through the tree canopy to the night sky.

It was already late at night, and the forest was much quieter than it had been at nightfall. However, one could still see the white light of flares rising up. It was obvious that there were still many players who were unwilling to remain silent in the long night.

All I want is to end this night's battle as soon as possible so I can log off and have a good sleep.

It seemed that the goddess of luck heard my voice and favored me.

After getting rid of the warlock, I searched the forest for about ten minutes, and then I found my next prey by following the nearby movements.

A Paladin is fighting against two level 140 Sharp Claw Dire Wolves.

Normally, players will choose to avoid monsters when they encounter them. As long as they use displacement skills, not many monsters can catch up with them, unless they are surrounded. However, the reason why the Paladin chose to fight at this moment was not because of the latter.

When a player is killed by another player, the nameplate will be dropped. If a player is killed by a monster, the monster will also pick up the nameplate. At this time, if other players kill the monster, they can also obtain all the dropped nameplates.

To be honest, the probability of this happening is very low.

After all, players have brains. Even if they are trapped by monsters with low health, they can choose to run away. However, even the lowest probability is still possible, just like now.

One of the Sharp-Clawed Dire Wolves currently fighting with the Paladin has a faint mark of 31 on its head, which means that 37 nameplates will be dropped if it is killed. Although the specific situation is unknown, there must have been an unlucky person who fell under its claws.

It was because of this that the Paladin took the initiative to fight against these dire wolves.

Compared to players, beasts with little intelligence are definitely easier to deal with, and the number of nameplates on their bodies is not low.

When I arrived, there were already two dire wolf corpses on the ground. It was obvious that the battle had been going on for some time.

The Paladin's attack was fierce, and it seemed that he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, get the nameplate from the dire wolf, and leave quickly. Soon, another dire wolf fell, leaving only the target dire wolf.

Although now is a good time to take action.

But I did not choose to take action, but continued to lurk in the same place.

Because things didn't seem that simple, he cast his eyes towards the bushes not far behind the Paladin. His high perception told him that there was a thief hiding there.

It seems that I am not the only one eyeing this Paladin, there are others who are trying to snatch the prey from me.

However, from the opponent's perspective, there is probably no intention of snatching. After all, with its stealth attribute, apart from a few top-level players like Orwin, not many people can detect it.

As his thoughts drifted away, the Paladin swung his knight's sword and slashed at the head of the only remaining dire wolf. Large amounts of blood splattered from under the blue-gray fur, dyeing the grass underneath red.

The pain aroused the dire wolf's bloodiness, and it opened its bloody mouth and bit the paladin's right hand tightly.

But this was only its last counterattack. The next second, it was slammed away by the Paladin's shield and turned into nutrients to feed the forest together with its companions.

Da da da.

A large number of nameplates fell down.

The Paladin's eyes lit up, he cast a recovery aura on himself, and hurried forward to pick it up.

But just as he took a step forward, the hunter who had been hiding behind him for a long time finally made his move.

whoosh-

The tip of the short blade was sharp, like a cold light breaking through the night, and struck straight at the back of the Paladin.

Chapter 110 Malicious Team Building

Although the Paladin was still alert, when he noticed the movement behind him, he immediately raised his shield and turned around to block the attacker's attack.

But the latter had been patient for so long and finally found the opportunity, so naturally he acted swiftly.

The Paladin was a little too slow after all, and was hit on the back of the head with a short blade by a figure that jumped out of the bushes, causing him to be dizzy for a short time. Upon seeing this, the thief who had appeared immediately followed up with a backstab with his left-hand dagger, pulling the wound diagonally to enlarge it, and then followed up with a kidney shot with his right hand to trigger the stiffness effect of the combo point.

The whole set of movements is smooth and fluent, and it can be seen that he is a master thief, although in my opinion there are still many details that can be improved.

After such a set of damage, the Paladin's health, which had just been raised to half, immediately dropped to 30%, which shows the Rogue's excellent equipment strength.

However, the Paladin was no pushover as he was able to fight against four level 140 monsters. A flash of light flashed on his body to purify the control. He used his left hand shield to block the attack and stabbed out with the knight's sword in his right hand, forcing the thief to retreat.

As the two were about to engage in a fierce battle, I suddenly felt something strange. I looked towards the tree behind the Paladin and saw a figure faintly visible among the intricate texture of the tree.

The insightful thinking on Lawrence's ring confirmed his guess.

"Two thieves?"

I was a little surprised. I didn't expect this place to attract so many players.

What happened next was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that the thief behind would appear and deal with the aftermath when both sides were injured, but he didn't expect that the other party would attack directly when the paladin was parrying the attack of another thief.

The second thief was an assassin with a dagger, and the paladin was distracted by the battle, so he didn't expect to be attacked at this time. He was knocked unconscious on the spot, and fell to the ground with the combined efforts of the two. He didn't know what happened to him until his death.

But I can see it clearly.

The two thieves had obviously reached some kind of cooperative relationship. After getting rid of the Paladin, they not only lived in peace, but also even divided the nameplates dropped by the Paladin and the Dire Wolf.

This is undoubtedly a bit incredible in the qualifying round with the dark jungle law as the background.

Even he only let the alchemist loli go and never thought of cooperating with other people, unless he met an acquaintance he knew in the game and there was a basis of mutual trust.

However, the probability of this happening is extremely small. After all, there are more than 2 million players in each empire who advance to the play-in tournament. Even members of a large guild have a chance of meeting each other of no more than %. Moreover, with so many people in a large guild, if their names and guild logos are lost during the play-in tournament, even if they meet someone in the guild, they may not recognize them.

But as mentioned before, no matter how small the probability is, it is still possible.

Through the conversation between the two, I found out that they were both members of the Guild Alliance. The one using the short blade was the oath elite, and the one using the dagger was a member of the Holy Angel Thieves Group. The reason why they could recognize each other was that the Guild Alliance had designed a code in advance. Before the exchange of fire, they used the code to confirm whether the other party was a member of the Guild Alliance. If so, they could start cooperation.

Although the probability of encountering each other is small, it cannot be ruled out that this situation will give guild members a greater chance of promotion.

“It really is a very extreme way.”

I curled my lips.

If I had thought of this method myself, I guess at most it would just allow guild members to say goodbye when they meet, but this practice of the Guild Alliance has already affected the rules of the qualifying round to a certain extent.

Even though there are few cases like these two thieves, they are indeed taking advantage of loopholes in the rules. It is extremely unfair to the players who were killed by the members of the guild alliance in this way.

"Looks like I'm going to have to enforce justice."

That being said, my real thought is: since my prey is gone, I'll just treat you as my prey.

But now is not the time to take action.

Following behind the two men from a distance, the two men seemed to think that the hunting goal for tonight had been achieved, and led me all the way back to their hiding place -

The "courtyard" was formed by a small patch of trees and shrubs, with a thick layer of hay in the middle. It was obviously a nest built by wild animals and occupied by them. As for the original owner, it was estimated that he had long since turned into nutrients for the forest.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But what I didn't expect was that there was actually a paladin waiting here. When he saw the two thieves coming back, he didn't stand up, but asked them in a calm tone about the results of their harvest.

"There are actually three people..."

I frowned, and through their conversation I learned that this paladin was also a member of the Black Hand.

It was unexpected that three members of the guild alliance met each other and recognized each other. The probability of this happening was less than one in ten thousand, which was almost as likely as buying a lottery ticket.

I wasn't worried about them posing any threat to me. If I couldn't defeat them, I could just retreat. Of course, the previous situation was basically impossible. I was mainly worried that if I didn't kill them all in a short time, some of them might escape, and I would lose a lot of points in vain, especially the two thieves.

But it's not impossible.

From their conversation, we can know that the Paladin seemed to be relying on his status as the Blackhand Studio, and his tone and attitude were very arrogant. The two thieves were also very dissatisfied with the Paladin's attitude, but they did not show it openly.

As for how the latter was seen.

He had witnessed the entire incident and knew what the two thieves had gained. However, when they were talking to the paladin, they deliberately concealed the situation of the dire wolf and only explained the number of nameplates dropped by the knights they killed.

It seems that the three of them are not united, so the chance is very high.

After a little thought I came up with an idea.

"Ahri, help me keep an eye on them."

After letting Ahri hide in the treetops to keep watch, I quietly left and quickly returned in the direction I came from, returning to the place where the battle had taken place before.

Dire wolves are wild beasts that live in groups. The paladin must have lured out a few dire wolves in some way.

Facts proved that my guess was correct. After searching around, I soon found the gathering place of the dire wolves in the nearby valley. Since I was not sure whether the three people would go offline, I only used crossbows to lure out the three dire wolves, and used the chapter of glory and knowledge search to transform them into holy spirits as soon as possible before leaving.

After giving the three Holy Spirit Dire Wolves the order to go ahead and hide near the three people's hiding place, I took out fifty-six nameplates from my backpack and threw them into the valley.

This is probably the best way to describe the saying "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb".

Watching as all the nameplates were picked up by a dire wolf, a faint logo floated above its head.

I smiled slightly, and the next second I raised the crossbow in my hand again.

Whoosh whoosh—

Several consecutive crossbow arrows attracted nine dire wolves, including the one that picked up the nameplate, at the same time. I put away the crossbow without hesitation, and quickly rushed towards the hiding place of the three people with these dire wolves.

Chapter 111 The Dire Wolf and the Plan

Dire wolves live in forests, and as they are in the middle or upper levels of the food chain, they are naturally not slow.

Without slowing down much, he was able to catch up from a distance and soon approached the area surrounded by trees.

The sounds of the dire wolves charging and roaring.

The noise can be heard even from more than thirty yards away, so an alert player can react quickly.

However, he had no intention of hiding his actions from the beginning. He even changed his voice and screamed deliberately when he was about to get closer.

"what……"

Before the sound was made, I immediately used the shadow hiding skill on Lawrence's leggings, and turned into a shadow that disappeared completely, leaving behind only the dire wolves that were lingering there in a daze or roaring angrily because their prey had disappeared.

Of course there are some people who are attracted out.

Lieyan was in a bad mood. As an elite of the Black Hand Studio, although he was not as strong as the Black Gloves, he also considered himself stronger than the members of other studios. However, he only obtained a little over 300 nameplates in a day.

This number is obviously much higher than that of ordinary players.

But it is far from enough for Lieyan, especially since he is still looking forward to the Black Glove quota that the Promotion Studio plans to expand. There is nothing special about qualifying, but if he can occupy the top position in the points list, it will undoubtedly be a plus point in the assessment.

When he logged off after dinner, he heard from other people in the studio that the boss had already received 200 points, and even Wildfire had received over 100 points. The number of people who survived now must have exceeded the previous number.

He recognized the strength of Honor the King and Expel the Barbarians, the leader of the Black Hand, a famous warrior of Orwen, and also had personal charm.
