Chapter 35 lv20, Storm City!
After saying goodbye, Tang Feng came to the portal in the center of Lei Ming City alone and found the NPC responsible for opening the portal - Lei Ming Guardian.
I patted the thunder guard on the shoulder, and a row of dialog boxes immediately popped up.
"Before opening the portal to Storm City, I must tell you two things clearly. First, in order to protect the vulnerable groups living in Thunder City, once you enter Storm City, it will not be so easy to come back. You not only have to pay extremely high fees, but also accept the punishment of dropping the grade!"
"Second, after entering Storm City, you will not be able to talk to your partners who have fought side by side in Thunder City. Of course, when they enter Storm City, everything will be restored to their original state. As for whether to open the portal and enter Storm City now, think about coming to me later!"
"Yes! Open the portal now!" Tang Feng nodded.
Tang Feng has also heard about this setting for a long time. In order to create a good game environment for public players, starting from lv20, once players enter higher-level towns, they will be severely punished when they return to lower-level towns. This setting is mainly to prevent high-level players from returning from high-level towns to maliciously slaughter low-level players, causing damage to the fair surname of the game.
Try to think about what will happen if a top master of lv100 returns to Thunder City? Not to mention those players in Thunder City who are less than lv20, even the NPCs in charge of guarding in the city will be slaughtered by them.
With the soft moan of the thunder guard, a dazzling light flashed from the top of the two silver brackets behind him. After about 5 seconds, the light converged into a white curtain of light, standing on the spot like a door.
"Storm City, I'm coming!" Tang Feng cheered up and strode in.
At the same time, a woman's voice came from behind her: "Liar, where do you want to run! Return the equipment..."
Tang Feng turned his head in surprise, but saw a female mage named 'Little White Sheep' running towards him quickly.
"I lied to you..." 'What?' Before the three words were said, the white light flashed, and Tang Feng appeared in the center of a towering and majestic city.
"Big bastard! If you lie to someone, how dare you be so righteous! Let's see how I can fix you!" The little white sheep stamped her feet vigorously. When she tried to talk to the thunder guard and open the storm portal like Tang Feng, she was white-eyed by the thunder guard: "The mage of lv16 also wants to enter the Storm City? Don't you think your life is long? Go away, go away!"
"Can lv20 be entered? What do you mean? Is it... Is that liar already lv20? The little white sheep was stunned.
Storm City——
"It's strange. When did I lie to someone? Why did the female mage call me a liar?" Tang Feng walked down the stairs with some inconception, but after thinking about it, she figured it out that there must be a priest named 'Feng Ye' or 'Feng Shi' who cheated the player named Little White Sheep. Because her name was relatively similar, she mistook herself for a liar.
Leaving this small episode behind, Tang Feng opened his eyes wide to watch the 'Storm City'.
As one of the top ten cities of the Mafa Empire, Storm City has a long history and origin."It is said that hundreds of years ago, the three empires of Mafa, Jialan and Zuo-Hung were still unbreakable iron triangle alliances. One day, the three lords led millions of soldiers to the 'demon battlefield' to participate in the 'demon slaughter war'. This battle in which millions of people participated continued. It's over in ten days and ten nights. The final result was unexpected. The three imperial alliances of Mafa, Jialan and Zuo Xiong were defeated by the 'demon clan' one after another. When the Ma French lord fled to a wasteland, there were few soldiers left, and they were about to be killed by the following demons. At this time, a terrible storm rose to the ground, blowing the fierce demon clan. Because of this, the French master could save his life. After the end of the battle of the demon slaughter, the French master ordered the construction of the city here, which is also the origin of the name of Storm City in later generations.
As soon as he walked down the steps, Tang Feng was pulled by an NPC named 'Bragging Bard Jack' and abruptly instilled a Storm City history lesson by him.
Just as Tang Feng turned around and was about to leave, a huge golden question mark suddenly appeared on Jack's head.
"Oh, as soon as I entered the city, I had a task." Tang Feng smiled and stretched out his hand.
'Dingdong!' As the system prompt sounded, Tang Feng hurriedly opened the taskbar, which recorded a brand-new lv20 task.
Mission - Storm City Map
Mission introduction: Although Jack is bragging every day now, in the early years, he was a very good draftsman. If you can help Jack kill 5 wandering 'dead leaders' on the first floor of the Necromancer, he is willing to help you draw a map of Storm City and the surrounding areas for free. With this map, you can avoid getting lost. The coordinates of 'Dead Palace' are located in the south of Storm City 27880x.90098z...
Mission target: 0/5 has killed the necromancer leader.
Mission Reward: Storm City Map x1.
"Well, this is a task that has to be done. However, as a casual player, there is no need to tighten yourself so tightly. Do the task later," Tang Feng muttered to himself, took a big step and began to wander 'not doing the job'.
Saying 'not doing the right job' is a joke, but this is not the case. This is a habit that Tang Feng has developed in perennial years. No matter which game, Tang Feng likes to wander around at the first time whenever she goes to a new place. The purpose is not to simply play, but to be familiar with the terrain and avoid detours and wrong roads in the future, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Half an hour later, Tang Feng, who had almost wandered around Storm City, walked into this magnificent place, which can be called the 'Professional Union' of Storm City's landmark building.
Starting from lv20, every city has a 'professional union'. Here, players can choose and learn any same life skills, and the general categories of life skills are countless. There are not only well-arms, weapon makers, pharmacists that are familiar to online game players, but also fishermen to the extreme. Farmers and strippingers. Players can find their favorite second career by their own preferences.
Tang Feng walked in and looked around. He walked through dozens of workshops before finding the pharmacist NPC Teller in a small corner of the right side hall.
The long table in front of Teller is full of all kinds of strange herbs and alchemy utensils, and some containers full of ** are even guttering green smoke.
"Young man, do you want to be a 'pharmacist'?" Teller turned around.
"Yes!" Tang Feng nodded.
"There are rumors that every pharmacist is rich and has countless family assets. Young man, I can tell you responsibly that those are actually lies! If you want to successfully refine a bottle of advanced medicine, you need to consume countless precious medicinal materials and time. If you are not careful, there will be a situation of 'refining failure'. Therefore, it is not so easy to make money from a pharmacist. Before you officially become a 'pharmacist', you have to think clearly! Because once you take office, the profession of pharmacist will follow you for the rest of your life..." Like Jack, the pharmacist in front of you, Teller, is also a guy with no door in his mouth.
"Yes, I want to be a pharmacist!" Tang Feng interrupted Teller and clicked 'OK' directly on the virtual screen. He still has a lot of things to do. How can he listen to an NPC nonsense!
'Dingdong!'' Ding Dong!'' Ding Dong!'' Ding Dong!' ...
The pleasant system prompt sound kept ringing in Tang Feng's ear, and then the screen was displayed, and a row of system prompts appeared on it.
"Congratulations on becoming an 'lv0 pharmacist apprentice'!"
"Congratulations on learning 'lv0 primary alchemy'!"
"Congratulations on learning 'lv0 primary collection'!"
"Congratulations on learning 'lv0 primary implantation'!"
"Maple Leaf, since you are now a 'pharmacist apprentice', there is one thing I have to entrust you to do."
As soon as he took office, Teller assigned a task to Tang Feng.
Mission - "Collection and Planting"
Task introduction: If you want to refine medicine, you must have medicinal materials. Turer entrusted you to collect 100 red clover and 100 blue clover around Storm City. Don't think this is a simple task. Quietly tell you that the beasts around Storm City are not vegetarian. Well, I hope you can come back alive.
Mission objectives: 0/100 red leaf clover, 0/100 blue leaf clover.
Task rewards: primary pharmacist tool set x1, life potion formula x1, magic potion formula x1, red leaf clover seed x10, blue grass seed x10.
Tang Feng yawned, glanced at the two tasks in the taskbar, and quickly walked out of the professional union. There is no need to worry about the map. On the contrary, this life task is more beneficial to him to complete it at the earliest.
Outside the Storm City——
Near dusk, the afterglow of the sunset fell on the fields in the suburbs, making the whole land look golden. Looking at the cattle and sheep eating grass in the distance, Tang Feng couldn't help thinking of the scene when he broke into the thunder city with walking skills.
The scene at that time was exactly the same as now. The whole field was empty and beautiful like a landscape painting.
"Alas, it's a pity that the good times didn't last long. A large number of players appeared the next day. On the third day, the thunder city was full of people, and the wind and grass looked down..." Tang Feng sighed with feeling and stretched out and walked towards the coordinate point.
In a short time, Tang Feng appeared on a small hill. He looked not far away, where there was indeed the 'red leaf grass' and 'blue leaf grass' recorded in the task. However, as stated in the mission record, it did not seem easy to successfully collect these plants. Because there are three or five groups of jungle wolves walking back and forth near these plants.
"The Jungle Wolf, there are still so many..." Tang Feng's head was like the most advanced computer in the world, and he instantly transferred out the information related to the Jungle Wolf.
Although the "Wing Myth" company claims to be 'the joy of exploration', the information of some ordinary monsters has been published for players as a reference. Therefore, Tang Feng knows that the information of the Jungle Wolf is not uncommon. Every time he makes up his mind to play a game, he will make full preparations before entering the game. This has It has become one of his many habits.
Coy wolf: a unique creature near Storm City, with levels ranging from lv20 to lv22. Sharp fangs can easily pierce any armor. The skill is the kiss of death.
Tang Feng observed carefully for a few minutes. After determining the scope of activities of these giant wolves, he crept down the hillside.
'Hour!' The nearest giant wolf to Tang Feng seemed to smell the enemy. A pair of wolf ears stood up high, opened their mouths, and looked forward warily.
'Fireball!'
Tang Feng hit a fireball, and the small wolf pack of seven giant wolves was completely enraged. They roared and roared at this unknown human.
'Holy Light!'
'Ice Path!' Tang Feng repeated his old skills. After blessing himself with a holy light, he raised his staff and released the 'ice path' again. The angry giant wolves only thought about how to tear up the enemy in front of them, but they didn't pay attention to it. They had fallen into the trap set by the hunter for them.
As Tang Feng's body swayed left and right, he took a cross-sectional route. The seven giant wolves, which were originally scattered, were immediately attracted into a straight line. From a distance, they looked a little like a string of sugar-coated haws, but the sugar-coated haws were light blue.
'Magic Fist!' Tang Feng clenched his left fist and whispered. A huge fist condensed from pure magic immediately bombarded the head wolf ten meters away. The head wolf immediately let out a scream. Not only did the word '-277' float out of his head, but also a circle of golden icons appeared - dizziness!
"Haha! It's still enjoyable to use the new skills!" Tang Feng looked at the damage caused by the magic fist to the giant wolf and immediately laughed. The power of this skill is much higher than that of 'fireball', but it has a cooling time of 5 seconds. It must be used alternately with the fireball skill to exert the maximum attack power.
In fact, Tang Feng learned 'Magic Fist' a few hours ago. The main reason why it is not used in the copy of the poisonous cannibal Flower King is that this skill is too blue. The current situation is different. Before he came out of Storm City, he was full of magic potions on his back, and he was not afraid of consumption at all!
After easily smoothing out the seven giant wolves, he cleaned up the leather and gold coins dropped by the giant wolves, and Tang Feng bent down to pick a 'red leaf grass'.
'Dingdong!'
'Congratulations, the proficiency of collection has increased by 3, and you have gained 120 experience.'
"Oh? Collection can not only gain proficiency, but also have experience? This is enough to make Tang Fengle happy. Although the experience value is not high, it is only 120, but the grasshopper's legs are also meat. Don't do it for nothing.
For the next two hours, Tang Feng has been guarding in this small natural medicine field, waiting to brush the giant wolf while collecting red and blue herbs. Unconsciously, he has increased his experience by 21%. Now his level is lv22, 66% experience.
However, in addition to being happy, Tang Feng is also a little depressed. The reason for the depression is that with the smooth improvement of collection skills to lv3, the proficiency and experience of collecting red and blue herbs have not increased.
After picking the 200 herbs needed for the task as fast as possible, Tang Feng returned to Storm City, a professional union, with a bulging backpack of booty.
"You have completed this task very well! Take it, this is a reward for you!" Teller received the red and blue herbs with satisfaction and waved his right hand gently. With the sound of the system prompt, there were several more items in Tang Feng's backpack.
Don't wait for Tang Feng to take a closer look at these task rewards, but Teller said again, "Now that you are familiar with how to collect, it's time to learn how to grow. Planting and collecting are two skills that complement each other as refining. Now you can find the administrator of the Storm City Pharmacy and buy one from him. The medicinal field, and then plant at least 5 red clover and 5 blue clover. Of course, if you can cultivate all these 20 seeds into mature herbs, I will also give you a special reward..."
'Dingdong!'
Task - "Collection and Planting II"
Task introduction: The pharmacist Teller gave you 20 seeds. He hopes that you can successfully cultivate and mature them. Since you want to learn planting, you have to have a medicine field, right? Please go to the drug field administrator to buy the drug field first, and then plant it.
Mission objectives: 0/20 mature red leaf clover, 0/20 mature blue leaf clover.
Mission reward: Reward will be given according to the degree of task completion.
"Okay, my good apprentice, go quickly. I'm waiting for you here as a teacher. Don't let me wait too long, because the patience of being a teacher is limited, not infinite..."
In the face of this chattering mentor NPC, Tang Feng showed a helpless expression, shook her head, ended the conversation, and went straight to the Yaotian administrator.
Because the distance between the two sides is not far, Tang Feng soon found this NPC in the city. After some inquiry, Tang Feng learned that the maximum number of medicine fields in Storm City is 20,000 yuan, and each player can buy up to one medicine field. Once the limit is exceeded, it will not be able to buy it. This news is useless to Tang Feng. What really excites him is the following information about the level of Yaotian.
The medicine field is also divided into three or six. The best medicine field can not only grow thousands of plants, but also greatly improve the proficiency of planting and collection and character experience.
Of course, the purchase price of this top pharmacy is also very expensive and very rare.
Tang Feng quickly logged in to the interface of purchasing the medicinal field. A few seconds later, the interface of the medicinal field appeared, and what he saw was the dense level and price of the medicinal field.
In order to meet the needs of different players, the system has even repaired different patterns and peripheral decorations for Yaotian.
"Advanced Medicine Field..."
"Super advanced medicine field..."
"The lowest-level medicine field..."
After turning hundreds of pages in a row, Tang Feng finally found the 'top medicine field' mentioned by the administrator of the medicine field. Tang Feng opened the top medicine field interface with his hands, and a row of subtitles about the top medicine field immediately flashed out--
Top medicine field (small): a small field that can grow 100 plants at the same time.
Special effects: skill proficiency increased by 100%, experience increased by 100%, seed plant survival rate increased by 100%, and seed plant maturation time accelerated by 100%.
Purchase price: 200,000/day, 1350000/week, 6000000/month.
Looking at the data displayed in front of him, Tang Feng swallowed hard. Although the surname bonus was good, its purchase price actually reached the sky-high price of 200,000 gold coins a day!
"It's too expensive..." Tang Feng subconsciously touched his purse. After so many days of hard work, he just saved less than 900,000 gold coins. According to such an outrageous purchase price, in less than five days, his painstaking efforts had to be drained.
"Try to buy it for a day first to see if the medicine field is as awesome as mentioned in the introduction..." After thinking for a long time, Tang Feng finally made up his mind and paid 200,000 gold coins to buy the medicine field.
The administrator of the medicine field who received high gold coins smiled at Tang Feng, "If you still want to renew the lease, please feel free to come to me. If you delay the renewal time because of something, you don't have to be nervous. We will reserve 48 hours for you, but within 48 hours, if you haven't paid the purchase fee, we will have the right to take back the medicine field, and you will also lose the medicine field and all the plants in the medicine field! Your medicine field is on the right side of the south gate of Storm City, and the coordinates are 188064s.266771b..."
According to the medicine field administrator, Tang Feng quickly came near the coordinate point and found this small medicine field in a small corner.
The soil in the field is very soft, and it is like stepping on a piece of marshmallow, which is very comfortable. Next to the medicinal field is a stream. The stream is clear and transparent. Players can take water from the stream to irrigate the medicinal field. On the right side of the middle of the medicinal field, there is a thatched hut with an area of about ten square meters, which is specially used to store seeds for players.
At the beginning of the game, the player's backpack is not large. At best, it can only hold more than 100 items, including 'mission items', 'equipment' and 'medicine'. If there are many kinds of seeds on the back, the player can only live in the medicine field for a lifetime and can't go out to hunt and upgrade.
I also bought the medicine field, and the seeds are also available. Of course, the next thing is to plant.
According to the prompts of the system, Tang Feng buried the plant seeds in the ground one by one, and then shallowly covered with a layer of soil. As soon as this step was completed, he heard a prompt in his ear.
"Congratulations, successful sowing, increased planting proficiency by 6, and gained 240 experience."
"Haha! It is worthy of being the top medicine field! How can you get so much proficiency and experience!" Tang Feng was ecstatic. When all his seeds were sown into the ground, his planting technique was upgraded to lv3.
"Double the result with half the effort! Haha! The top medicine field is not wrong!" Tang Feng opened the list of life skills and laughed again from the bottom of her heart.
The happiness of the game can not only be reflected in fighting monsters, treasures, upgrading, practicing life skills, and watching the slow growth of plants picked by yourself. Isn't this another kind of happiness?
Because it takes a certain amount of time for plant growth, Tang Feng didn't want to waste the remaining 80 planting positions. He quickly ran into the seed store and bought the heart blue flower seeds and willow seeds that needed to be planted lv3 respectively.
Among them, willow leaf grass is one of the three main drugs needed to refine the 'divine medicine'. As for the remaining gullium and three conifers, they need to be planted with lv10, and he is still far from meeting the standard of planting these two plants.
Back to the medicine field, Tang Feng sowed all the purchased seeds into the soil and fertilized and watered them. The next thing to do was to wait patiently for these plants to mature.
Although this is just an online game, the setting is similar to that of the real world. Each plant has its own growth cycle. The higher the level of the plant, the slower the growth cycle. Compared with red leaf clover and willow clover, red leaf clover is an lv1 plant with a growth cycle of 2 hours (top medicinal field effect plus Hold), while the willow leaf is an lv3 plant, with a growth cycle of 4 hours, which is a full doubling.
Tang Feng, who was not sleepy at all, saw that it was still early for the red leaf grass to mature, so he bought a backpack of blue medicine and went straight to the 'Dead Palace'. There were three reasons for going to the Dead Palace. First, he completed the map task assigned by Jack. Second, he raised his level to lv23 and got the blessing of planting experience. Feng, now has lv22,87% experience. Third, try the unopened 'Holy Word Pendant'.
