The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe
Chapter 32: How Could There Be a Bug
CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: HOW COULD THERE BE A BUG
At this moment, Mr. Zhou was completely stunned. It took him a while to regain his senses and he nodded excitedly towards Fang Ka: "Mage Fang Ka, I will not disappoint your expectations."
Fang Ka nodded back at him and then addressed the players present: "Everyone out, please. I will set up a magic array here later, and only those who need blessings may enter under my guidance."
He planned to store all the alchemy potions here in the future, after all, the rooms of the ancient castle weren’t large, while this divine hall was quite spacious.
Since that’s the case, players shouldn’t be allowed to enter at will in the future.
One should not underestimate the upper limits of these players, but neither overestimate their lower limits; they will always surprise you. Players can be limited but not controlled.
Therefore, the best way is to completely cut off their opportunities to cause trouble from the root.
Of course, when Fang Ka mentioned setting up a magic array in the divine hall, he was just talking.
In reality, he only needed to issue a command within the soul master-servant contract, such as ’players cannot enter this divine hall without his guidance’, which would be perfectly sufficient, saving time and effort.
Setting up a magic array would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Upon hearing Fang Ka’s words, the players present had no objections, after all, Fang Ka had already informed them that this place would be the secret spot for Blood Pool Enhancement.
Firstly, they wouldn’t come here for no reason, secondly, having such a mysterious location is actually better, and thirdly, no one wants to offend Mage Fang Ka and have their favorability reduced.
After the players left, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching immediately approached Mr. Zhou: "Xiao Zhou, you walk like you’re floating, seems like something good has happened?"
Mr. Zhou gave a thumbs up: "No wonder you’re an orthopedic doctor, Mr. Qian, how did you figure that out?"
"Indeed, something good has happened."
"I’ve redeemed the Meditation Skill, but it’s a bit different from what I imagined."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching curiously asked: "What’s different? Hurry up and tell me, I’m an impatient person, don’t keep me in suspense."
Mr. Zhou chuckled: "First of all, after I redeemed the Meditation Skill, a ’Book Section’ appeared on the game panel. There’s a book titled ’Meditation Skill’ which records in detail how to cultivate magic power."
"To be honest, it really shocked me. I originally thought I’d learn it directly, just like in other games, you click to learn."
"I didn’t expect, this game is absolutely crazily realistic, they actually wrote out the content in detail and expect us to figure it out on our own?"
"Seriously, besides calling it amazing, I’m speechless."
"It’s so hardcore, so realistic, so detailed."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching couldn’t help but take a deep breath: "There’s such a trick? I’ve never heard of it."
Then Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching’s eyes suddenly lit up: "Right... if that’s the case, can we exploit a bug then?"
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching got very excited: "If you tell me the content of the Meditation Skill, maybe I can figure it out myself? Let’s try and see if we can exploit this bug?"
Mr. Zhou got interested as well and then slowly began to speak, but...
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching looked puzzled: "Did you say something?"
Mr. Zhou was also puzzled: "I said the whole content clearly, why, didn’t you hear it?"
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching sighed quietly: "It seems there’s no bug at all, I was just being wishful. How could such a realistic and detailed game have such a fatal bug?"
"Forget it, go on with your findings."
Mr. Zhou extended a finger: "I received a unique quest."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching looked at Mr. Zhou in surprise: "A unique quest? What is it?"
Mr. Zhou shrugged: "This quest is quite special, and from my assessment, several conditions must be met to trigger it."
"And luckily for me, I happened to meet these conditions."
"First, the quest required the player to be the first to redeem the Meditation Skill, the second requirement was having a favorability with Mage Fang Ka higher than normal."
"Earlier, due to a accidental hidden follow-up quest, I had some favorability increase from Mage Fang Ka."
"And now I was also the first to redeem the Meditation Skill, so it got triggered. The quest is rather simple, requiring me to quickly master the Meditation Skill and officially become the first mage among the players."
"Among us players, only the two of us are Skeleton Mage professions, so this quest is relatively secure, hehe."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching rolled his eyes at Mr. Zhou: "You little rascal, trying to make me jealous, aren’t you? But still, congratulations to you."
Mr. Zhou waved his hand: "I’m not trying to make you jealous, didn’t we agree earlier that after completing this team task, we’d organize materials and go mining together?"
"I’m afraid it’ll have to be postponed for a few days; I want to finish this quest first and taste the feeling of being a mage."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching shrugged indifferently: "I was wondering about that, no worries, go ahead and learn the Meditation Skill, I’ll organize the materials and also ask the new players if any have experience in this area."
Mr. Zhou smiled sheepishly: "Alright, then, I’ll find a place to delve into this Meditation Skill, once you learn it as well, Mr. Qian, we can discuss it in detail."
"When the time comes, I’ll share my experience with you without holding anything back, Mr. Qian."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching patted Mr. Zhou on the shoulder: "Yes, go ahead."
Mr. Zhou nodded and headed towards the ancient castle.
He felt it would be safer there, plus there were many hidden spots, quite suitable.
Fang Ka stepped out of the divine hall and saw a group of players gathered in front. He pondered for a while, then said: "I need some materials here."
Soon, a prompt popped up before all level 1 players: "Mage Fang Ka opens material collection. Collect 100 specific magic potions or one liter of blood, and you can meet with Mage Fang Ka. After handing it over, you will receive 5 experience, 1 copper coin, and 1 point."
"Note: Only open to level 1 players."
Following that were listings of the types of magic potions and their images.
Fang Ka currently needed to produce a large amount of basic alchemy enhancement potions, so he required a lot of materials.
However, overproduction of these materials wouldn’t be good either, it would be best if each player could be enhanced ten times.
So he opted for this method to control the quantity.
Currently, players had no other leveling paths, so they would definitely choose this method to level up.
Once it seemed the production capacity was sufficient, a new team task could be introduced, allowing these players to level up to 2 and explore more activities.
