Chapter 393 2.1 Update, Unlocked

The Abyss Prize Pool is open and the lottery is about to begin.

Thousands of undead were standing in the square of the fortress. People had to queue up to open boxes. Even though several queues had been opened at the same time, they were still too busy to handle the crowd.

Lind was counting the points with satisfaction. Points were earned every minute and every second. After being earned, these points were just useless numbers. They did not serve any monetary function and disappeared directly.

For him, there is no such thing as a refund, and he doesn't even need the right of final interpretation. He doesn't need to explain to anyone.

This is how we NPC do business. There is always a fixed price and no after-sales service.

While Lind was happily harvesting, the undead were also happily opening boxes.

The box contains advanced potions that have never appeared before. They are brewed with the ubiquitous Heart of Disaster. They have strong negative effects but even more exaggerated positive effects.

In addition, there were Iris's armors. Dozens of sets of armor were not put in at once, and he didn't even put in the full set, to avoid stopping after drawing the full set.

There are also a lot of weapons, alchemical props, etc.

Not all of it is garbage, he still needs to have a good reputation so that business will come and go.

"Oh my god, this dragon helmet is so cool. When I put it on and blink, the helmet will blink too!"

Someone directly drew the dragon soldier helmet and couldn't wait to put it on. At that moment, he seemed to have transformed into a dragon soldier.

Once you have one, you will definitely want a set.

If you don't have a set, then strengthen your own set.

In short, the undead people's passion for lottery has been completely ignited.

"What is this, a card?"

An undead man drew a card.

Lind turned around and saw that it was the rarest card, which was his own.

Looking again, it turned out to be the Romantic Good-for-Nothing, so there was no problem with what she drew.

Each card also comes with a slight attribute increase.

"Oh, it's OK, there are even peripheral products."

"I drew a zombie. This thing can actually increase the maximum health by 10 points? If I have of them, will I be invincible?"

"I drew 10 cards, but the effects of the same card cannot be stacked, so it's useless."

The undead reacted quickly, and by now they had clearly understood that no matter what profession or race it was, it all came down to a competition of numbers, and any item that could increase one's own attribute values ​​was very valuable.

Although the types of cards are not rich, it does not prevent them from capturing key information at the first time. Lind's cards have the highest gain and the highest rarity!
"Buy cards, Lind's cards, high price++++"

The prize pool here hasn't ended yet, but some people over there have already started setting up stalls to buy cards at high prices, hoping to get them before others can react, so that they can make a profit.

The fortress was bustling with activity.

On the other hand, deep in the crack, a huge creature covered with scales of heavy rock skin was sleeping soundly, and there was silence ahead.

"Do you want to wake up the great king?" The speaker was a lump of black slime, which left a muddy and dark trail wherever it moved.

The hunched rock-colored lizard's yellow eyes rolled and spun: "What a good idea."

Both are silent, who will wake them up?

If you do more, you will be wrong; if you do not, it will be good.

"But the strength of those people on the ground is very average, so there won't be any danger or impact."

"You're right."

They chose silence.

……

As promised before, Lind opened the +2 forging unlock to the undead.

A new batch of weapons and equipment were forged and upgraded, and their appearance began to change significantly, twisting and growing jagged scales, sharp claws, and so on.

The weapons that exuded an evil aura made William and others avoid them, but the undead people regarded them as treasures.

It doesn’t matter if my health is deducted every time I use a weapon. I can just use the weapon while recovering my health.

Some people have already built their first set of abyss suits by assembling them, and are full of confidence in the upcoming abyss journey.

Only by constantly collecting materials and working like crazy can you strengthen your equipment and open up the prize pool.

So, I can’t stop!

Lind has been observing and paying attention to the movements of the abyss. He is paying attention to every area where there is a big commotion. Although the Rock King in the Kingdom of Rand has not shown up, he has appeared in other areas. Some people have seen the king of level 59 from afar.

But unlike Wen, who is also above level 51, the opponent's health bar is several times that of Wen. As a BOSS-level being, Lind understands very well the difference between ordinary people, elites and BOSSes.

The two sides are not the same species at all. Unless there is a huge difference in level, there is no reference at all.

Therefore, before his strength improved, he was determined to stay in the abyss.

The good news came at a fairly fast pace. After countless failures, the epic Storm Knight Path potion was finally successfully brewed.

Lind left the fortress again, but before leaving he was thoughtful enough to leave the [Banshee Horn] behind and open a limited-time dungeon so that the undead could go in and earn some points.

There are not many times left to use, and we urgently need undead people to sacrifice to pass the level.

The undead who was about to vomit from clearing the abyss found that the meat pigeon copy had returned, and immediately rushed into the copy.

As long as it can improve your strength, it doesn't matter what you do. However, there are also people who persist in grinding the abyss. Occasionally, some rare materials are dropped and the selling price is quite considerable.

As the front line entered a strangely stable stalemate, Lind had already started drinking the potion.

Epic!
And there was an unexpected gain. The Crystal Mage had spent a very long time with the Irises, so he also knew the abilities of the Storm Knights.

To be precise, there are three abilities, and evolution is based on these.

Storm Knight Mion, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is known as Storm, but he does not have much control over Storm's abilities. The only impression he leaves on people is that he carries a big sword, or puts his head under the sword.

The three abilities are completely opposite to the image of Mion that Lind knew.

The first one, named "Mion's Soul Blade", uses the soul to make a sword shape and use it as a weapon to attack.

“Power comes from your soul.”

The Crystal Mage said: "Irises are unwilling to use this power when facing the Abyss, as it will accelerate their infection."

Using the soul to attack directly, although there is no restriction of weapons, it will be affected.

The second one is called "Meen's Invisible Blade", which can completely erase the weapon's presence, making it impossible to be seen or perceived.

The third one is called "Meen's Storm Blade". It's very simple and you'll definitely hit it!

Lind was once attacked by the irises and had no way to dodge. He could only grit his teeth and hold on, using this move.

In the following period of time, Lind kept adjusting his condition and drinking the potion.

It's a pity that the Storm Knight Path is an extension of the Sun Knight, and its poetry collection is the same as "Praise the Sun". Lind hoped to pick up a random poetry collection to get an emblem, but the only option left for him was the Red Knight's Salamander Emblem.

It was a sunny day when I was successfully promoted to an epic storm knight.

The atmosphere is just right too.

Miss Micko had just finished reading a thick book and came out of the tent rubbing her head.

Boom!

A huge crystal barrier appeared out of nowhere and fell heavily on the ground. "Teacher?" Miko grabbed the staff, cast a speed-up spell on himself, and slid to the crystal barrier quickly like skating.

The Crystal Mage was on full alert, and standing opposite him was a familiar figure.

Linde!

In his right hand, he grasped an energy blade that exuded a twisted and evil soul aura, squirming and struggling.

"what is that?"

"Soul Blade!" the Crystal Mage said solemnly, "His soul has been completely corrupted. I can only hold him back for a while. You must run away immediately! We have lost this battle!"

"But..." Miko looked at Lind opposite him, who was still winking at him.

"Teacher, even if he carries the aura of the abyss, it doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem."

"Don't let love cloud your mind, Miko!" the Crystal Mage scolded, "The meaning of our existence should be greater."

"Love...?!" Miko felt that the Crystal Mage was the corrupted one.

Linde on the opposite side has already walked over.

"Mage, what are you doing?" Lind was also confused. He just experimented with "Meen's Soul Blade", so why was the Crystal Mage suddenly so nervous?

"Don't try to confuse me with your words of the abyss! Disaster of the abyss!" The crystal wizard's beard fluttered, as if he would fight to the death if Linde opened his mouth again.

"Why is your Soul Blade like that? It's full of evil!" It was Miko who pointed out the core problem.

"this?"

Lind raised his hand, and the black sword emitting a strong evil aura made the Crystal Mage's eyes widen, and he was about to fight to the death.

But in the next moment, Lind raised his left hand and quickly condensed a clear blue soul blade.

"What a pure soul."

The Crystal Mage couldn't help but sigh that judging from the purity of the Soul Blade alone, Lind's soul was completely uncontaminated.

This is simply impossible. As long as you live close to the big rift and in that environment for a period of time, your mind will definitely be affected.

But the soul does not lie.

"What exactly are you?" The Crystal Mage couldn't help but ask.

Possessing both a dirty and a pure soul.

An inherently contradictory existence.

Lind loosened his hand, the light disappeared from his palm, the evil and azure faded, and the black and pure soul sword disappeared at the same time.

"I'm Linde Alman."

He doesn't need to be defined by anything. If he really needs a label, he hopes to be the friendly chief of the novice village and a good nanny to the immortals.

The crystal mage raised his staff and knocked on the crystal barrier.

He could only temporarily assume that there was nothing wrong with Linde, because a pure soul could not be faked.

The barrier immediately exploded, floating weightlessly in the air like snowflakes. The sunlight shone on the broken and floating crystal barrier, bursting into a rainbow light.

"Can you dispel the abyss?" The Crystal Mage thought he had found a reasonable explanation.

He rolled up his baggy sleeves.

In the crook of the arm, a dark, sticky, liquid-dripping abscess was beating like a heart.

Everyone who has ever fought in the fortress will inevitably be infected by this thing.

But it is incredible that Lind, who has stayed in the fortress for a long time, is still pure, or rather, he has separated evil from purity.

"Is this the curse of the abyss?" Lind asked.

"A collection of disasters, it is endless." The crystal wizard said, "It stays in the deepest part, manipulating the curse."

However, Linde swung his hand and directly grabbed a soul blade as big as a scalpel.

The Crystal Mage was shocked by its powerful control ability.

And then, Lind directly cut off his abscess with the blade of his pure soul.

"Your soul will..." The crystal wizard wanted to stop him, but his speed and strength were no match for Lind's, so he could only watch.

Linde's blade was stained with black.

But the next moment, the soul blade became clean.

……

【1.2.1 Update: Unlocked the level cap, now it can be upgraded to level 30; enabled the live broadcast function, you can capture the screen and connect it to the computer via a data cable for live broadcast. 】

An unexpected update.

Moreover, the updated content was somewhat beyond his expectations. There was no problem with unlocking the level cap. Originally, according to Lind's guess, he thought that when the 1.0 version was publicly beta, the undead should be unlocked to level 30, which is the level of a superior knight/superior wizard.

But for some reason, the unlocking of the level cap has been delayed.

At level 30, with nearly ten thousand great knights and wizards, Lind felt that he could already blow the horn of attacking the abyss.

With such a force, it seems not difficult to kill yourself, so it becomes very important to quickly increase the length of your health bar.

As we all know, as long as the survivors are not killed instantly by one move, and as long as they can forcibly cause a little damage, the end result is that they will definitely win.

The existence of live streaming has given Lind countless surveillance cameras. As long as he locks on the live broadcast room of certain anchors, he can know everything that happens there.

You can also take some time to show off your reputation and let other undead know you. Your reputation for justice will definitely play a role.

After the hot update, the undead people almost subconsciously found Lind.

"As long as your contribution is sufficient, you can exchange it for a higher-level potion!" Lind made the promise generously.

The advancement directions of the knights, such as the Upper Sun Knight, Upper Golden Oath Knight, Bard, Secret Rune Messenger, Snake Catcher, etc., are enough to dazzle the undead.

As for wizards, there are also the orthodox path of the Moon Witch, the Necromancer of Morena, the Perfumer of Brittany, etc.

At this stage, the role of wizards in battle is mainly in concentrated fire and long-range attacks. They can play a small role in 1V1 situations. However, the temptations of various enchantments and brewing potions make it difficult for the undead to refuse.

Once each path is started, there is no turning back. Even if you tell all this to the undead, they won't care. There will always be a way. Just enjoy yourself for now.

It's impossible for the game to give you a profession that blocks the road.

After Lind's early reminder, all regions accelerated the brewing of potions and worked hard to prepare for the potion exchange craze.

The process was uneventful.

In just a few days, the entire fortress will have nearly ten thousand upper-level knights and upper-level wizards, a terrifying force that can easily sweep across the Kingdom of Rand.

With such a team in hand, Lind's first thought every day was not that he was invincible, but that he was worried that the undead would suddenly surround him and force him to clear his copy.

The abyss that was invaded in reverse felt inexplicably relaxed.

The black slime and the rock-colored lizard breathed a sigh of relief: "You are right."

"What should we do now? Continue the attack or wait for the king to wake up?"

"you are right."

Since there is no problem anymore, adhering to the principle that the more you do, the more mistakes you make and the less you do, the better, you should just continue to do nothing.
