Chapter 798 The Beast of the Year!
In an instant, the traffic of the official website increased greatly. If it had been decades ago, it would have been negotiable that the network was paralyzed. However, now that the network technology has improved, even if there are twice as many people, they will not be able to paralyze the official website of such a large-scale online game.
Therefore, the majority of players saw this announcement about the Spring Festival activities for the first time. Lin Musen and others are not different. Even in the game, there is a built-in browser to watch.
However, after reading the announcement of the content of this Spring Festival event, many players shouted that they were cheating. The reason is very simple. In this announcement, only half of the activity content is written!
In short, this activity announcement has been announced. There are indeed activities during the Spring Festival, and it does start on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. However, the Spring Festival activities are roughly divided into several stages.
The first stage is to fight the New Year beast.
The New Year Beast is an ancient legend, which is basically familiar to everyone. This product came out to scare people during the Spring Festival, and then was scared away with fireworks and firecrackers. Although the setting of the mainland of China is different from the real history, it still has some similarities. The festivals in the past have been like this, and this Spring Festival is naturally no different. Therefore, this year's beast was dug out to be a villain.
The beast of the year will appear on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. And this thing is not the same, but all over the mountains, and it is possible to appear everywhere. The newly appeared New Year Beast is equivalent to the existence of ordinary monsters on the current map. Its strength is relatively weak. As long as the level of ordinary players is not too different, they can fight them off alone. However, after this kind of beast is killed, the rewards are not too much. At most, the quality of things dropped by ordinary monsters is a little better, but the number is a lot.
If ordinary players don't have any big pursuits, they can find this kind of beast everywhere to kill. If you accumulate a little, you can get a lot in the end. And the New Year Beast will also drop a material, which is simply a mission item. This material has been accumulated a lot, and it can be handed over to the mission NPC in the major cities in exchange for some higher-quality equipment magic books and so on. And what can be changed is naturally the same, randomly refreshed.
However, of course, not all players will be satisfied with killing these ordinary beasts. But it doesn't matter. There are more powerful things waiting for them.
Although the ordinary beasts are refreshed at the beginning, these beasts will not be calm. As soon as it is refreshed, the beasts will devour each other. After approaching a certain distance, the beasts will find each other, and then rush over to fight, and finally only one survives. And this year beast will gather all the attributes of the original two year beasts!
That is to say, the more the same kind a beast swallows, the stronger it will be! If enough New Year beasts have swallowed up together, it is not impossible for a boss to appear more powerful than those super bosses all over the world!
After all, quantitative change causes qualitative change. It is also said in the announcement that if the beasts are more integrated, there is a possibility of mutation. The strength of the variable beast will not only be greatly improved, but also improve its intelligence at the same time, and it will also mutate into a variety of strange skills.
Those master players are unwilling to kill ordinary New Year beasts to save mission props. They can wait for the New Year beast to devour them, and then go up to challenge the boss... The final harvest must be much higher than that of ordinary New Year beasts.
Although the number of drops will not increase much, the quality has been greatly improved! The equipment of the ordinary New Year beast may only be at the red and orange level, but the devouring New Year beast may be yellow, green, or even green, or even higher!
If hundreds of thousands of old beasts devour each other, it will be terrible. Even if the big gang will besiege and suppress it, it will take a lot of effort. If you accidentally let tens of thousands of beasts devour it together, that thing can't be done by the current players. Maybe it can't be killed until the end of the event. Players are not only faceless, but also suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, how to balance the efficiency of ordinary beasts devouring each other, and how to seize the opportunity to kill and get the maximum benefit is the most serious problem in front of players.
In addition, the beasts will not only devour each other, but also increase their attributes by killing players, but the growth efficiency is not as high as devouring each other. Therefore, if a Nian beast is quite strong, and those players who are not strong scramble to die, they can also pile up the Nian beast with terrible strength... And the intelligent growth of this Nian beast will be much higher than the growth of strength, and maybe it will cultivate a monster with higher than the current advanced NPC intelligence.
New Year's Beast is the first stage of activities, until after New Year's Eve and the first day of the Chinese New Year. After the first day of the Chinese New Year, the aura of heaven and earth will change. The elders of various factions and other NPCs will take action, and the beasts will basically be swept away, so there will be nothing wrong with the players.
While playing the New Year's Beast, there are other things for players to do.
For example, collect fireworks and firecrackers. Fireworks and firecrackers can be used to kill New Year beasts, and they are much higher than players' attacks. The disadvantage is that fireworks and firecrackers are consumables, and it is not easy to get them. And on New Year's Eve, you can get various rewards for setting off fireworks and firecrackers. Although it is random, it is also possible to get the best. You got fireworks and firecrackers. Will you use them to blow up the New Year's beasts or wait for them to be set off on New Year's Eve? This is another question.
There are many ways to get fireworks and firecrackers. The simplest and most common is to buy them from grocers. Of course, the power of this kind of firecracker is average, and the quality of the reward is not high. It is just a consumable. If you have money, you can buy it in large quantities to kill the beasts, and you can get twice the result with half the effort. But whether it can recover the cost is not good... Other than that, it is also possible to get fireworks and firecrackers by doing various tasks, and it is also possible to make fireworks and firecrackers formulas. And all the manufacturing deputy can get the recipe of fireworks and firecrackers, but the materials needed are different. And materials can also be obtained through the collection deputy position, which basically depends on luck. It does not mean that the higher the collection skills, the higher the probability of obtaining rare materials. This is a benefit for low-level players. Even if you can't participate in the New Year's Beast, you can always collect materials to make fireworks and firecrackers to make money.
In addition, the dumpling activity is still going on, and players can still rely on brushing monsters to get materials and make dumplings. This is completely unexpected by most players. How can we not eat dumplings during the Spring Festival?
Then, the event announcement was only written. In addition, there are various large-scale events that will be announced after the first day of the Chinese New Year.
Nima! Everyone scolded. This is definitely a trap... Half of the content of the activity is released, which makes people itchy! Generally speaking, from the first day of the Chinese New Year to the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it can be regarded as the Spring Festival, and in some places, it is not the end of the Spring Festival until the first lunar month. The following content is obviously not worse than the previous one. If you say it directly, you will die!
But this is also the old tradition of game companies, and players are also helpless. The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is coming soon. Let's go and prepare to fight the New Year's Beast!
After reading the update announcement, Lin Musen immediately returned to the game and discussed it with others in the gang station.
This time, the people in the gang's residence are relatively complete. It goes without saying that Fenglingcao, crystal, glazed fruit, cute willow catkins, floating bitter sea, jade tree, Linfeng and others. The romantic and cold plums have been abducted, and the heavy makeup has been done... In fact, it's not done, but the head gave her a long vacation. After all, it's the Spring Festival, and it's normal to take a break.
A group of people gathered together, and naturally they were studying the problem of the activity announcement. After watching it, a group of people held a meeting in the hall.
This gang is stationed under the construction arrangement of everyone... Well, it is the arrangement of the girls, including the bells, which is now very warm. The sofa is large, wide and soft, and it is arranged in a circle around the middle table. And the sofa covers are all ambiguous colors such as pink that girls like, and the walls around them are also covered with wallpaper... Needless to say, how many girls there are there?
Lin Musen was uncomfortable at the beginning, as if he accidentally broke into a girl's boudoir. Without this kind of experience, he is restless. But it will be fine if it takes a long time. It's just the color, and it doesn't affect anything else.
A group of girls like it very much. If they have nothing to do, they can study where to match what pattern and what color. However, the opinions of girls are not always unified, and there are often differences. However, girls are united and harmonious. The final result of the discussion is that they take turns to arrange those differences according to a girl's opinion... So now, Lin Musen has completely calmed down in the face of wallpaper that changes colors and patterns from time to time.
"The Spring Festival activity has come out. What do you think? Shall we all go straight to fight the New Year's beasts, or something?" Liu Xu looked at the crowd.
Lin Musen was very calm: "Of course I'm going to kill the New Year Beast! However, it's not an ordinary one, at least it's necessary to kill the boss equivalent to level 70 or 80... This kind of fusion can improve the attributes of the annual beast, but if you calculate it, you can find that the life of the level 70 or 80 annual beast is much less than that of the boss at level 70 or 80! This kind of boss, as a master of the second robbery, that thing is absolutely pressure-free! I don't think it's a problem to be taller. No matter how powerful it is, after all, it's still not as good as the boss!"
Everyone else also nodded. After the two heavenly disasters, who is not full of confidence? It's definitely not difficult to single-handedly pick a boss. Even if you haven't survived the two heavenly disasters, a 70- or 80-level elite little boss may not be able to do it. Now that you have survived the disaster, you are naturally sure! With this strength, it's a waste not to fight the boss alone!
"Well, if you have survived the two heavenly disasters, go and kill the boss. Those of us who have not survived the disaster, just study the fireworks and firecrackers!" The willow catkins fluttered.
