Gu Fei, who had just left, didn't care about the guild at all. Right now, he was hurrying towards the fountain square in the center of Cloud Cloud City. He had arranged to meet someone there.
From afar, Gu Fei could already see Red Dust Smile, who was smiling and waving at him.
"Why are you looking for me?" Seeing Gu Fei walk over, Red Dust Smile immediately got straight to the point.
"There's something I want to ask you." Gu Fei said.
Red Dust Smile smiled, "I'm a self-disciplined gamer. I won't necessarily tell you everything you ask."
"If you can tell me, then tell me. If you can't, then don't!" Gu Fei said straightforwardly.
"Okay, go ahead."
Gu Fei took out "Eddie's Coat of Arms" from his chest. Red Dust Smile had only casually glanced at it, but his eyes suddenly widened. Gu Fei didn't even exist in front of him anymore. All he could see was the coat of arms slowly swaying in front of his eyes. It was like a firefly in the night, so bright, so outstanding.
"Where did this come from!" Red Dust Smile suddenly came back to his senses. He grabbed Gu Fei's hand and pulled the coat of arms in front of his eyes to look at it.
After Gu Fei told him what had happened, Red Dust Smile froze in the wind.
"Last night, I looked it up on the official website. There was no information about this coat of arms at all, so I wanted to ask you. If you can tell me, then tell me. If not, then forget it." Gu Fei said.
Red Dust Smile raised his hand and pinched his face to confirm that he wasn't dreaming. He tried to make his petrified expression come back to life. After taking two deep breaths, he said, "This is a quest."
"I know … …" Gu Fei said.
"Compared to other normal quests, this quest is a bit unique. We call it a chain quest." Red Dust Smile said.
"Chain quest?" Gu Fei suddenly understood. This term was mentioned on the website. Compared to normal quests, it was more complicated and had a strong randomness.
There was a reason for the name "Chain of Quests". If a normal quest was viewed as a point, then when several points were strung together to form a line, it would form a chain quest. There were countless points like this in the game. Even a normal quest on a normal street could become a key part of the chain quest.
This was how the Quest Chain was casually extracted from these countless points by the System, and then arranged and combined them freely. Then, he would choose a suitable storyline from the game's huge story library and attach it to it. Then, he would calculate the difficulty of each segment and give a suitable reward. When a player completed a chain of quests, the system would regroup and arrange a new chain of quests. The total number of quest chains in the game would never change, but the content would always change. The system randomly generated the exact same quest chain twice? It wasn't impossible, but it was so small that it was negligible.
With such a setup, it was actually not difficult to trigger a chain of quests, because the conditions to trigger it were not that bizarre. However, whether or not one could complete the quest after activating it would depend on the player's luck. Because the points that formed the quest chain were arranged in random order, it was possible that the first step was very simple like buying something or delivering a letter, and the second step was an extremely difficult battle … Players could trigger the quest chain at level 0, but they could only proceed to the second step after reaching a very high level. This possibility was quite high.
As for the quest chain that Gu Fei had triggered, the conditions to trigger it were actually not that difficult. In the later stages of the game, this was a normal quest that could be easily received and completed: Trapped Eddie.
However, there was one point that had to be emphasized: the later stages of the game.
Based on the current level of the players, a recent example: Young Master Han, Sword Specter, and a group of legendary online gaming experts wanted to kill Suo Tu, and the method they came up with was to trap him in a small black room and torture him to death. However, using this method, the first person to be tortured to death would not be Suo Tu, but Eddie, who was in the same room as them, curled up in a corner and barely breathing.
Seeing a dead Eddie would not be able to accept this quest.
However, there were two prerequisites for Eddie to live and hear his last words.
First, Suo Tu had to have a sense of security, so that he would not immediately kill Eddie because of his sense of danger.
Second, Eddie had to have a sense of security, so that he could leave his funeral in peace.
To achieve these two conditions, the player only had one choice: to fight and kill Suo Tu alone.
Only if Suo Tu came alone would Suo Tu not feel too much danger, and only if Suo Tu was killed would Eddie be able to leave his funeral in peace. If it was a normal quest, Eddie would only say his last words, but Gu Fei happened to have activated a chain quest, so Eddie's last words included the contents of the quest. However, no matter what, this quest only belonged to players with high levels and skills. Only players at this level had the ability to challenge it alone.
Red Dust Smile knew a little about Gu Fei's skills, but when he found out that Gu Fei had accomplished such a feat, he could not help but be shocked. He had already considered the damage that people like Gu Fei could do to the game's balance, but he only thought that they would have the upper hand in a battle between players. He did not expect that even the System Boss in the game would be so weak.
Gu Fei was still talking, but Red Dust Smile had already turned a deaf ear. As one of the core developers of the game, he had already subconsciously considered whether or not it was really necessary to restrict these types of players to maintain the balance of the game.
"Hey! Hey! "Gu Fei's call brought Red Dust Smile back from his reverie.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Fei was surprised. "I'm asking you, why isn't there any information about this quest on the website?"
"Oh …" Red Dust Smile came back to his senses. "The chain quest is randomly generated, so there's no information about it on the website. Players have to figure it out themselves."
"Then can you give me a little bit of information?" Gu Fei asked.
Red Dust Smile smiled shyly. "I'm a self-disciplined gamer."
"Alright, I got it!" Gu Fei's words were straightforward. "Then I'll figure it out myself! Let's go! "
"Take care!" Red Dust Smile waved his hand.
"Goodbye!" Gu Fei turned around and left.
After ten minutes of walking, Gu Fei arrived at the place where he was training. Due to the huge increase in experience from level 30 onwards, Gu Fei had no idea how many days he would have to stay here. Compared to Gu Fei, most players no longer chose to just kill monsters to level up. There were many quests in the game, and the experience rewards were quite generous. Although it was not as efficient as killing monsters to level up, it was not boring. Running errands, chatting, and occasionally fighting a few battles. Why not?
But for Gu Fei, killing monsters was using his Kung Fu. That alone was enough to make him happy. Boring? If Gu Fei thought that Kung Fu was boring, would he have trained diligently for twenty years?
Moreover, ever since he started playing the game, Gu Fei discovered that his Kung Fu had improved.
Why? It was because the Sword Ghost viewed it as the ultimate skill.
There were so many opponents to spar with, and more importantly, he could attack the opponent's vitals without worry until he killed them. This was something that Gu Fei had never experienced in his many years of training.
In reality, he had to stop when sparring with others. With so many worries, every move would be slightly out of form. Gu Fei understood, but he was helpless. Life wasn't like the pugilistic world in wuxia novels. Living on the edge of a knife could make up for this deficiency. But now, the game had helped him fill this gap. Although it was a fly in the ointment that his opponents couldn't counter his moves, he didn't have to worry when he attacked.
When he got close to the spawn point, Gu Fei bent down, loosened his muscles, and charged forward with his sword.
Relaxed. He was much more relaxed now.
Gu Fei knew it was all because of Eddy's Coat of Arms. With an additional 30 points of attributes, how could his strength not increase by leaps and bounds? The monsters surrounding Gu Fei were slashed to the ground at an even faster speed. He could already feel that this spawn point could no longer satisfy his needs. Perhaps it was time to explore more advanced areas.
At that moment, not far from Gu Fei, a pair of eyes was watching him.
Red Dust Smile. After Gu Fei had left, he had followed him in secret. His goal was to see what Gu Fei's strength was.
So fast! All Agility … Red Dust Smile thought to himself. Compared to Sword Ghost, who had a lot of experience in the game, he, as a high-level producer, had an incomparable advantage. Sword Ghost could tell that Gu Fei had added Agility, but Red Dust Smile could tell exactly how many Agility points Gu Fei had added. The difference couldn't be more than five points.
Strength, too … But this should be the effect of Eddie's Coat of Arms.
"Attack Power …" Red Dust Smile silently calculated Gu Fei's current equipment, Character Points, Attack Power, and the NPC's Defense and HP. He sucked in a breath of cold air. "Every single one of his skills has the highest Attack Power … This … This is way too overpowered! Even if we designed NPCs, we wouldn't dare to make the stats so stable! This guy … "The muscles on Red Dust Smile's face twitched a few times. He had realized something.
To Gu Fei, he was a character who already had a full set of skills. This was his Kung Fu. In the game's terms, this skill of his was already quite high at the beginning. Moreover, no one knew if there was a limit to his Kung Fu. Even worse, this guy's skill would become stronger as the player leveled up and changed their equipment, just like in the game.
"Shouldn't we restrict such a character a little?" With this question in mind, Red Dust Smile ended his peeping. He returned to the safe zone in the city and logged off. As for Gu Fei, he only glanced at Red Dust Smile's departing figure.
