Chapter 558
When Zhang Shan ran to the north wall of the palace, the ninth Demon God lufasi was still in hot pursuit.
The black scythe transformed into a life-threatening divine weapon and slashed towards Zhang Shan.
At this critical moment, a loud shout came from the palace in the north of the city.
A golden figure rose from the palace.
As the most powerful NPC in Chu, the King of Chu, who lived in the palace, finally made his move.
King Chu’s golden figure stood in the air, and the long sword in his hand slashed towards the ninth Demon God, lufasi, who was behind Zhang Shan.
a beam of golden light flashed across the sky and forced lufasi back.
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Shan could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
with lord chu’s help, his dog life was finally saved. he no longer had to worry about dying and losing his level.
zhang shan stood in the distance, looking at king chu who was in mid-air, waving his long sword continuously.
He forced lufasi back with his sword.
This scene made Zhang Shan’s blood boil.
he didn’t even know if this was a battle scene or just an animation gg.
To be honest, Zhang Shan had been playing the game new world for a long time.
However, this was the first time he had seen an NPC in action.
In the past, during the country war, the city Lord of Dangyang city had also made a move.
It was just that with that kind of attack, Zhang Shan and the rest could not see the specific battle situation at all.
They could only see the red light in the distance. The city Lord and the big boss were fighting in the distance.
the players couldn’t see it at all.
everyone just thought that it was a GG before the monsters attacked the city.
However, this time, it couldn’t be considered as GG for the animation.
Lord Chu was right in front of Zhang Shan, waving his long sword continuously, forcing the ninth Demon God to retreat continuously.
Lord Chu was flying in the air, and no damage values appeared.
This was not much different from players fighting a BOSS.
Zhang Shan felt that this was a real battle scene.
However, at this time, Zhang Shan could not care so much. He had to run away quickly.
after lufaxi was blocked by king chu, zhang shan immediately started to channel his return channel.
He didn’t dare to continue watching the battle. It was too dangerous.
It was not easy to save his life, so he must not throw it back again just because he was curious about the battle.
If that was the case, he would have suffered a huge loss.
Furthermore, even if King Chu killed the demon God, Zhang Shan would not gain anything from it.
When NPCs participated in a battle, neither exp nor items would be given.
Even if he wanted to follow behind and pick up a dead person’s head, he simply couldn’t.
There was no such loophole in the game system.
most importantly, zhang shan was afraid that the shockwaves from the battle between these two big shots would drown him.
Even though Lord Chu had forced the ninth Demon God to retreat.
However, the ninth Demon God was not to be trifled with.
It kept waving its scythe, slashing at King Chu again and again, sending countless black rays of light in all directions.
If Zhang Shan was still here and was swept by the black light, wouldn’t he be dead?
If that was the case, he would not even know where to cry.
It would be safer to run away as soon as possible.
After a few seconds, Zhang Shan returned to Dangyang city through the loading bar.
As for the great battle between King Chu and the demonic god, he could no longer see it.
Zhang Shan, who had returned to Dangyang city, was still deep in thought.
He was thinking about what kind of game mechanism King Chu had used to block the demon God.
As for saying that Zhang Shan was a citizen of the Chu country, and that was why the King of Chu had saved him, that was pure nonsense.
King Chu was just an NPC in the game and was not that complicated. This must be a special game mechanism.
In reality, when Zhang Shan was running towards the north of the city, he had been considering whether King Chu would really make a move.
From Zhang Shan’s point of view, as the boss of the Chu country’s NPC, there were two reasons for the King of Chu to make a move.
One was that the demon God had chased Zhang Shan to the edge of the palace.
In other words, the demonic god had already approached the Royal Palace of Chu State.
It was equivalent to fighting at King Chu’s doorstep. At this point, how could King Chu not make a move?
...
Unless Lord Chu was an NPC who could not move or had no combat power.
Otherwise, he would definitely have made a move.
The second reason was simple.
King Chu and the ninth Demon God had been at loggerheads for countless years, so there should be a red line between the two.
Both sides could not jump the line. As long as one side crossed the red line, they would inevitably fight.
The place where the demonic god had been staying was still a short distance away from the northern city wall of the capital.
this distance might be the psychological distance between the two sides. as long as the two sides did not cross the line, they would be fine.
once one side jumped, they would fight.
Zhang Shan had run to the city wall because he had considered luring the ninth Demon God out of the red line.
He wanted to pull the ninth Demon God to King Chu’s side.
in reality, zhang shan had made the right bet.
...
Lord Chu had indeed helped him block the ninth Demon God.
In fact, if one thought about it seriously, it was just that.
As an Imperial City in the game, when there was no activity, they naturally could not allow the monsters to attack the city walls or even the city.
Otherwise, how could the players play?
Zhang Shan thought.
This was actually a boss-fighting mechanism.
When everyone was fighting a Demon God and couldn’t win, they could run to the city wall and escape.
It couldn’t be that they could only tank all the bosses, right?
If they could win, they would tank it to the end. If they couldn’t win, they would just wait to be swept by the BOSS?
That didn’t make sense.
There had to be some technical mechanism.
Perhaps the players ‘technique of fighting the demon God was here.
......
Zhang Shan carefully thought about the process of his fight with the ninth Demon God.
Although he only shot a few times and didn’t even reduce lufasi’s health bar by a bit, lufasi’s health was still very low.
But no matter what, he was a man who had fought a Demon God.
And he even escaped alive.
You can still run after loading a batch.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shan was a little excited.
It was a good thing that he wasn’t a flamboyant person. Otherwise, he would probably be able to brag about it for half a year.
Zhang Shan looked at the screenshot that he had just taken.
The ninth Demon God lufasi’s eye-catching appearance was enough to shake one’s heart.
he had to post this on the forum and let the other players see how powerful the demon god was.
At the same time, from the side, it reflected Zhang Shan’s strength.
If he wasn’t strong, would he be able to attract a Demon God?
the other players could not even see a single hair of the demon god.
Zhang Shan could still fire a few shots. Although he could not hit the Asmodian Lord, he was already very powerful.
This screenshot had to be uploaded to the forum.
No, there was only a screenshot but something was missing.
Zhang Shan thought for a while and continued to look at the previous video records.
This was the good thing about new world.
Players can view all the video recordings of the past 15 days.
Zhang Shan kept looking forward and saw the scene of his battle with lufasi.
The battle between Lord Chu and lufaxi was also recorded and compiled into a small video.
Not only that, Zhang Shan also took a screenshot of the ninth Demon God lufasi’s attributes.
Although he saw the attributes, they were all question marks.
however, it was these question marks that showed how powerful the demonic god was.
Data could no longer be used to display the demon God’s power. If it could only be expressed in question marks, was that not strong enough?
After Zhang Shan was done with the video, he opened the game forum and uploaded the short video, as well as the demon God’s attributes, to the forum.
Zhang Shan thought about it seriously for a while. He had to give the post an eye-catching title.
he thought for a while and picked a title.
[ soaring demonic flames: the ninth Demon God is terrifying. ]
After selecting the title, Zhang Shan uploaded the video and the screenshot.
After the thread was done, he had to consider how to set the fee for the thread.
The posts that players posted on the game forum could be divided into free posts and paid posts.
The free post was free for everyone to read.
The players ‘paid posts could be set with different fees.
If other players wanted to read the thread, they would have to pay.
logically speaking, zhang shan would not be interested in the small amount of copper coins he earned from the fees.
He didn’t need that little money.
He could just post it for free.
However, after some consideration, Zhang Shan still set the post to ten copper coins per view.
It was not that he wanted to earn this bit of money, but Zhang Shan felt that free things were not attractive to everyone.
In everyone’s subconsciousness, only those who charged a fee would have real value.
If he were to post a free thread, others would think that Zhang Shan was just spamming.
If no one read his thread, then wouldn’t he have done it for nothing?
He also wanted to gain some influence.
After setting up all the posts, Zhang Shan chose to confirm and send.
Done. Closing forum.
Zhang Shan did not leave Dangyang city after uploading the video of the ninth Demon God to the forum.
zhang shan did not go to farm monsters, nor did he do anything else. instead, he stood where he was and opened the game’s official website.
That announcement regarding the advancement of the divine weapon, Zhang Shan had yet to read it seriously.
Although the various channels in the game had already exploded, everyone was discussing the issue of the advancement of the divine weapon.
However, listening to other people’s boasting was not as reliable as reading it on the official website.
What the other players said in the chat channel carried their own personal opinions, which would affect their own judgment.
If he wanted to know the specific situation, it would be more reliable to go to the official website and take a look.
after all, the announcement on the official website was the real authority.
Zhang Shan stayed in Dangyang city and opened the official website to check.
A new announcement was hung in the most prominent position on the official website.
Divine weapon advancement announcement.
Zhang Shan clicked on the announcement to take a look.
There was a lot of content in the announcement, and Zhang Shan read it seriously.
After he finished reading, he finally understood what this divine weapon advancement was all about.
According to the announcement, the advancement of the divine weapon here was probably equivalent to the equipment stars in other games.
However, in the New World, the advancement of divine artifacts did not require the use of various gemstones like in other games.
The advancement of the divine weapon here required the use of a saint’s relic.
Moreover, only divine-level equipment could be upgraded.
Equipment below the level of a divine weapon did not meet the conditions for advancement.
In the announcement, it explained in detail how to operate the divine weapon’s advancement.
The operation of upgrading a divine weapon was very simple. There was no need to find an NPC divine craftsman. The players could do it themselves.
After the announcement, a new item would be added to the player’s equipment panel.
The players only needed to place the divine artifacts and the saint’s relics in the reincarnation pool on the equipment panel and click ‘confirm’ to upgrade the divine artifacts.
Every time a divine weapon is successfully upgraded, it can increase the main attribute by 10%.
It was important to note that the main attributes mentioned here did not refer to attributes like strength or agility.
Instead, it referred to the equipment’s function and attributes.
The main attribute of an attack-type divine weapon was its attack power.
the main attribute of a defensive type divine weapon was its defensive power.
For every successful upgrade of an attack-type divine weapon, it could increase the attack power of the equipment by ten percent.
For example, Zhang Shan’s hand Cannon’s current attack power was 12000, if it was upgraded once.
The attack power of the hand cannon could be increased to 13200.
Every time a divine weapon was successfully upgraded, the main attribute increase might not be that much.
However, if he leveled up a few times, the increase in attributes would be very significant.
If a divine weapon was upgraded many times, it could cause a qualitative change.
Each divine weapon could be upgraded nine times in total.
When a God tool reached the ninth transformation, it could advance to a Saint tool.
A God tool could actually advance to a Saint tool?
This was already very powerful.
Seeing this, Zhang Shan’s eyes could not help but light up.
one had to know that in the game, no player had ever gotten their hands on a sacred artifact.
Zhang Shan used to think that in the game new world, the sacred gear might just be a background.
It wasn’t something that players could get.
After all, even a divine craftsman-level NPC could only forge divine weapons. Zhang Shan had never seen a sagemaster who could forge sacred weapons.
If even NPCs could not forge sacred artifacts, where could players get them?
there was no way at all.
But now, it seemed that this was not the case.
After the divine weapon advancement announcement, the channel for players to obtain sacred weapons had been opened.
As long as the players kept upgrading the godly item, it could be upgraded to a sacred item.
Although Zhang Shan had never seen a holy weapon before, he could imagine the power of a holy weapon.
in the entire game, the only saint weapons that zhang shan had heard of were the emperor’s sword and grand preceptor jiang’s annihilation staff.
As long as one could get their hands on a Saint weapon, it would mean that their equipment would be on the same level as the Emperor and Grand Preceptor Jiang.
it was simply unimaginable how powerful such equipment would be.
In new world, sacred equipment was a piece of ceiling-level equipment.
Zhang Shan was willing to call the Holy weapon the strongest.
Of course.
It wasn’t easy to get a Saint weapon.
Although the announcement said that as long as a god weapon was at the ninth transformation, it could advance to a holy weapon.
However, the nine transformations of a divine weapon was not that easy.
It was even possible that it only existed in theory.
It was almost impossible for players to truly make a divine weapon achieve the ninth transformation.
this was because not every ascension could be successful, and the success rate of a divine weapon’s ascension was very low.
According to the official announcement.
the first ascension of each divine artifact required the consumption of a saint’s relic, and the success rate of the ascension was 50%.
The second Ascension required the consumption of two Saint relics, and the success rate was 25%.
The third Ascension required the consumption of three Saint relics, and the success rate was 12.5%.
The fourth upgrade required the consumption of four Saint relics, and the success rate was six percent.
The fifth upgrade required the consumption of five holy relics, and the success rate was 3%.
The sixth Ascension required the consumption of six Saint relics, and the success rate was two percent.
The seventh Ascension required the consumption of seven Saint relics, and the success rate was one percent.
the eighth ascension required the consumption of eight saint relics, and the success rate was 0.5%.
The ninth Ascension required the consumption of nine Saint relics, and the success rate was 0.1%.
Looking at the official website announcement regarding the success rate of the promotion, Zhang Shan could not help but have a headache.
With such a low success rate, was it something that a human could do?
how lucky did he have to be to turn a divine weapon into a saint weapon?
It felt like the announcement on the official website was like painting plum blossoms to quench their thirst.
Although everyone could see the way to get a holy artifact, they were still very confident.
However, he would never be able to get his hands on a Saint artifact.
With such a low success rate, how could he successfully upgrade?
Especially when it came to the eighth and ninth revolutions of divine artifacts, the success rate was five to one thousandth of a percent?
Was he serious?
It was simply exaggerated.
How many Saint relics did he have to prepare to be able to handle this?
The key was that Zhang Shan still did not know if these Saint relics were easy to obtain.
But in Zhang Shan’s opinion, things like the saint’s relic should be very difficult to get.
Although the system had opened the city of ruins, as long as players obtained the pass, they could go to the city of ruins and farm for saint’s relics.
However, would that kind of thing be so easy to obtain?
As for the city of the ruins, the official announcement also explained it.
This was a public instance dungeon.
In other words, any player could enter the dungeon as long as they had the pass.
no level or other restrictions.
Anyone could enter as long as they had a pass.
As for how to get the pass, the announcement also explained it.
All monsters, regardless of whether they were bosses or minions, had a certain chance of dropping a pass.
In addition, there was a higher chance of obtaining a pass by farming monsters in the city of ruins.
However, only God knew how high the probability was.
In any case, the announcement did not give a specific drop rate.
at least until now, the announcement had been out for more than an hour, and zhang shan had not heard of anyone who had obtained the city of the ruins ‘pass.
After all, the number of players in the game was huge.
Logically speaking, as long as the drop rate of the pass wasn’t too low, someone would have already obtained the pass in the past hour.
however, he didn’t.
This meant that the city of the ruins ‘pass was not that easy to drop.
Without even an entry pass, how could they farm for saint’s relics?
Without a saint’s relic, how could it be upgraded to a divine artifact?
Moreover, the success rate of the upgrade was still so low.
Wasn’t this like painting plums to quench one’s thirst?
It was like a vicious cycle that trapped the players.
The path to the advancement of a divine weapon was obvious, but no one could really handle it.
At least, Zhang Shan felt that this matter would not be simple.
This wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two, or a month or two.
It would probably take years to get a holy weapon.
He wouldn’t even think about it if he didn’t grind for a few years.
unless the game was revised again to increase the success rate of leveling up or increase the drop rate of saint’s relics.
But was that possible?
That should be impossible.
Since the game announcement had already been released, it would not be changed easily.
Zhang Shan read the announcement seriously and then closed the game’s official website.
He could not help but sigh.
it would be very difficult.
Then the question was, should he go to the city of the ruins now and take a walk?
The other players had yet to obtain a city of the ruins pass, but Zhang Shan did.
After he had obtained the full set of divine artifacts, the system rewarded him with five city of ruins passes.
However, the pass to the city of the ruins was not like the dungeon Scroll, which could bring people in.
each pass could only allow one player to enter the city of the ruins.
He only had a total of five passes. How was he going to get them?
Should I give one to my friends so that they can all enter together?
or should he use one of them first and go in to explore? If he managed to get a new pass inside ...
Then, he would bring his friends in to farm for the saint’s relic?
Just as Zhang Shan was struggling, wind and cloud blade sent a call.
six-barreled boss, what are you doing? did you go to the city of ruins to farm for Saint relics? ”
“Not yet, I’m considering if I should go.”
“Is there a need to consider this? Of course, we have to go and farm. If we can get a saint’s relic and upgrade the divine weapon, wouldn’t that be awesome?”
it’s not that simple. I’m just afraid that this city of the ruins won’t be that easy to farm.
“Don’t you have five scrolls? Why don’t we go and farm together?”
Regarding wind cloud blade’s words, Zhang Shan was in a dilemma.
he only had five scrolls in total. if everyone went in together, they might not be able to get a new pass in the city of the ruins.
If he didn’t get a new pass, he wouldn’t be able to enter the city of the ruins.
After going in once, he would no longer have an entry pass. What would he do when he wanted to go in the future?
Could it be that he had to buy the pass?
I’m just afraid that this Heritage Site pass won’t be easy to acquire.
Even if you have money, you’re afraid of not having a place to buy it.
after all, they weren’t the only ones with divine artifacts. the other big shots had quite a few divine artifacts as well.
Zhang Shan believed that the other big bosses with divine weapons would definitely want to enter the city of the ruins to farm for some Saint relics and upgrade their divine weapons.
The five passes in Zhang Shan’s hands must be used with care.
He had originally planned to explore the city of the ruins by himself.
If possible, we’ll go and farm it together next time.
However, Zhang Shan did not know what the situation was like in the city of the ruins.
What were the levels of the monsters inside?
If he went in alone, would he be able to brush it?
This was the problem with new world.
When exploring a new map, everyone was completely clueless.
there was no information on the monsters in the city of the ruins on the official website.
Moreover, no players had posted such information on the forum.
This was because no players had entered the city of the ruins yet.
Zhang Shan considered it seriously for a while.
Why don’t we all go in together? it’ll be safer that way.
In case he entered the city of the ruins alone and found out that the monsters inside were all monsters he couldn’t defeat, it would be nonsense.
Although Zhang Shan was very confident in his own strength.
Zhang Shan felt that, other than the demon God, there was no monster that he could not kill in this game.
But that was only relative.
What if the city of ruins was filled with level 100 monsters?
What if the city of ruins was filled with boss-level monsters?
if that was the case, he might not be able to handle it alone.
he had to at least bring boss wu along.
Without the support of a support, his survival ability would drop by several levels.
Zhang Shan’s current damage was sufficient, and he was very powerful.
His HP was also high, at 2.7 million.
However, his endurance was still lacking.
Even though he had a powerful ability to suck blood, it was not enough.
Especially when he was fighting a single powerful BOSS, he still needed support to heal.
He couldn’t do it alone.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shan said to wind and cloud blade.
“Then let’s all go to the city of the ruins together.”
After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he quickly pulled his friends into the team and said on the team channel.
gather at Dangyang city. Let’s go to the city of the ruins and farm for saint’s relics.
you should’ve said so earlier, brother Guan. I’ve long wanted to try and get some Saint relics to upgrade my divine longbow a few times.
“Got it. I’ll be there immediately.”
Boss Wu said.
wait for me. I’ll return to Dangyang city after I’m done collecting this material.
The other players had already forged their own divine weapon molds into divine weapons, so they were all farming monsters to level up.
Boss Wu was the only one who still needed a divine weapon mold and was farming for quest materials.
Therefore, he had to come later.
After all, collecting mission materials was also a serious matter.
Boss Wu had already gone to the place, so he naturally had to get that material before coming back.
Otherwise, boss Wu would have to go there again next time, which would be so troublesome.
alright, we’ll wait in Dangyang city. Hurry up.
“Yes.”
“don’t worry, big brother carry blade is killing monsters very quickly now. it won’t take him much time to get a quest material.”
After a short while, everyone except boss Wu returned to Dangyang city.
As long as boss Wu returned, they could set off to the city of ruins to farm for the saint’s relics.
