The area near the Star Base is relatively safe, because the hunters of the Star Base have cleaned up this area and made targeted arrangements, so there are rarely any large monsters coming here.
Incidentally, although the creation of the Ancient Tree Forest was mostly left to the Nightmare Lord's free play, there are some areas that Zhang Xingyu created himself, such as this area near the Star Base, which was personally created and designed by Zhang Xingyu, the style here is somewhat similar to the original game.
This can be considered Zhang Xingyu's small nostalgia for the maps in the original world game.
However, because Zhang Xingyu's Nightmare Power is still in the learning process, the places he created were later modified and processed by the Nightmare Lord to make the overall style more consistent.
In the safe zone, you can see many players exploring, and even many players are studying a weed.
“According to player summaries, this area is relatively safe, and no large monsters will appear here.” Since Zhang Xingyu is “playing the game for the first time”, Otiliya explained to Zhang Xingyu: “The game production team is very powerful, the map is made very delicate, you can hardly find completely identical places.”
Otiliya pointed to the players who were rummaging through the flowers over there and said: “There are many resources in the forest, such as the herbs I gave you before, which were collected in the tree forest, and other resources like iron ore, you see those players squatting behind a stone over there, they are waiting for the iron ore to respawn…”
Zhang Xingyu looked over and sure enough saw several players squatting, one of them holding a weapon, while the others were holding weapons vigilantly.
“Iron ore is very popular, because it is the main material for making and strengthening weapons, the weapon you are holding now can be strengthened with iron ore! In addition, iron ore is also the main material for making chain mail armor… You know, this game is very difficult, many players feel that they need to upgrade their equipment before fighting monsters, look at the equipment we are wearing, a set of leather armor, each piece has a defense of 1, the total defense is only 5, while the chain mail armor made from iron ore, each piece has a defense of 2, the defense is twice that of the initial garbage equipment!” Otiliya continued to explain:
“You are only allowed to play for a maximum of 5 deaths per day, so players are generally very cautious, although there are more resources inside the forest, it is also more dangerous, it is not as good as squatting in this safe area and waiting for resources to respawn.”
As they were talking, a new player who seemed to have just entered the Nightmare World came to the vicinity of this group of players who were waiting for the iron ore to respawn, but the squatting players took out their weapons and shouted things like “This is our place, go play somewhere else! Otherwise we will fight!”
Two fists are no match for four hands, the new player retreated.
Otiliya continued to lead Zhang Xingyu forward, Zhang Xingyu “very sadly” saw that in this “safe area”, many respawn points were occupied by players, and Zhang Xingyu even saw a group of players driving away a smaller group of players who were squatting at the collection points!
——I'm sorry, hunters, the game you designed is really too hardcore, it actually makes so many players miserably squat at respawn points waiting for resources!
I'll go back and update the system, so that players can learn how to use weapons as soon as possible!
Because Otiliya is a student of St. Dance Academy's middle school, the players Zhang Xingyu has brought in so far are almost all middle school students, these students are naturally at home playing computer games, but making them pick up various cold weapons to fight, that too without any guidance, and without the help of the “system”, is really too much to ask of them, not to mention, they will get hurt if they are bitten by monsters in this game!
Student players said that they can't afford to be hurt!
If virtual games weren't so rare, they wouldn't want to come to such a difficult game to suffer!
In the Ancient Tree Forest, besides some players squatting at resource points, more players are exploring.
“Although the game map is very delicately designed… but the system is quite bad, almost everything needs players to study themselves! For example, most things in this forest can be collected, but it is not clear whether the collected items are useful or not. Of course, some players have found the trick, for example, if you collect a plant and don't know what it is used for, you can go back to the Star Base and sell it to the merchant, if he accepts it, then this thing is naturally valuable, if you bring him some useless things, you may be greeted with a roll of the eyes, such as “Adventurers these days, why are you stuffing all this garbage to me? Do you think I am a garbage collector?” kind of words.” Speaking of which, Otiliya suddenly laughed, she must have done something similar.
“Like this flower.” Otiliya led Zhang Xingyu to the side of a flower and said, “If you cut it open with a knife, the flower will emit a special gas that can heal wounds, now many players will lure monsters near these flowers to kill them… But, it seems that some monsters are very clever, they will break these flowers themselves to heal themselves! Some players also want to make these flowers into recovery potions, but they failed.”
“…………” Zhang Xingyu is naturally familiar with these flowers that can heal, because he added them himself, but how come some monsters can also use the healing flowers to heal themselves, it seems he doesn't know!
“Recently, some players have found that the insects in the forest seem to have some use, they are studying how to use these insects.” Otiliya said.
“…………”
