April is here, and the weather in Shazhou is getting hotter and hotter.
Li Yan opened the system and checked his luck points.
[County title: 100 points per month]
[Control Longyou: 100 points per month]
[Control Guazhou: 100 points per month]
[Control Shazhou: 300 points per month]
[Initial control of Xizhou: 300 points per month]
In March, there were originally 1,200 luck points left, but 500 points were used up by resurrecting players and upgrading players, and now there are still 1,600 luck points left.
This time Li Yan is preparing to start the eighth test and recruit 600 new players.
Players who have qualified for the test have received the game helmet first and are anxiously waiting for the time to go online.
There is still a familiar light. When new players open their eyes, they see a brand new world.
New players looked at the new world in amazement, carefully explored the novel features of the "game", and breathed in the fresh air of more than a thousand years ago.
The total number of players has exceeded 2,000. Li Yan looked at the densely packed new players in the novice valley and finally felt a sense of security. With this group of players at hand, there is no need to worry about achieving great things!
Li Yan also issued a task to bring new players. Those players in the sixth and seventh tests who struggled to earn contribution points seized the opportunity and rushed to the novice camp to familiarize the new players with the game scene.
It will take some time for these new players to grow up. Now they are not even qualified cannon fodder. Li Yan still focuses on those old players.
Now it is the eighth test. "Datang Fengyun" is very popular on the Internet. These new players have also been paying attention to the game for a long time and no longer need too much guidance from the old players.
The adventure stream, the merchant stream and the official stream are now the absolute mainstream among players. These new players have also done their homework, and many of them have chosen the direction of their development.
Most players come here to fight and kill in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the majority of players choose the adventure stream.
If you want to take the adventure stream, you have to join the army and first go through a series of training to improve your strength and endurance attributes.
According to the calculations of veteran players, strength training and physical training can enhance these two important attribute points, and there is no need to waste precious contribution points to exchange for enhancements.
However, the two attribute points of agility and intelligence cannot be strengthened through training.
If you want to be a long-range archer or rider, the agility attribute is also indispensable. Therefore, players in the fifth and sixth tests currently generally choose shieldmen or axemen as their arms. Only those veteran players with more attribute points
, will choose to become an archer or a rider.
It's just that the bandits in the three states have been eliminated by players. Now if new players want to earn contribution points, they can only go to the "monster spawning upgrade points" on the two borders.
One is the Fenghuo Fortress to the north of the Baowen Mountain Capture Mansion. Although the Tang Hui Dynasty has signed a treaty, there will still be Uighurs who take risks and come to the Tang Dynasty to plunder.
This is not the instruction of Prince Yidijian. The Uighur Khan cannot control his small tribes. Many tribes are originally half herdsmen and half bandits. Most of these small-scale robberies are individual or tribal actions. Uighur Teeth
The account cannot control every tribe.
These Uighur Rangers usually consist of a few or a dozen people. They are small in size and have no advanced weapons. The only difficulty is that they come and go like the wind, and it is not easy to pursue and intercept them.
Therefore, to the north of Baowen Mountain, Yuchixin renovated the Beacon Fire Fortress. Once the Uighur robbers went south, the Beacon Fire Fortress would light up beacon smoke and call on players from several nearby fortresses to fight these nomadic robbers going south.
The Baowen Mountain Capture Mansion has become a popular spot for spawning monsters among players. It is low in difficulty and low in risk. Beacon Fire Fortress recruits new players at any time. Lone wolf players and players in team games can go here to "spawn monsters and level up".
Another place to spawn monsters is the valley fortress south of Jinshan Pass.
After the victory at Jinshan Pass, Li Yan ordered the players to build a bastion in the valley south of Danjin Pass, completely driving nails into the Tibetan land.
These bastions were still under construction, and the Tibetan people who came to their senses also understood that if the Tang Dynasty really controlled this valley, then the Tang Dynasty would have the initiative in the war.
Across the desert and far across the valley floor of Danjin Pass, the Tubo people built a new camp and constantly sent soldiers to harass the construction teams attacking Danjin Pass.
Around this river valley, Tubo and Datang began a new round of competition.
It's just that Tubo's vitality was damaged last time, so there were only sporadic small troops to harass them.
The Jinshankou River Valley has become a "monster spawning spot" in the eyes of players.
But compared to the upgrade points in Baowen Mountain, the well-equipped Tubo people are obviously troublesome "elite monsters".
Moreover, the Tubo people all move in small groups of a dozen or even dozens of people. It is easy for novice players to die in confusion when they come here.
Therefore, those who come to Jinshankou to upgrade are either new players in the team or experienced old players.
In addition to these two fixed monster spawning and upgrading points, the westbound business group will also recruit player guards.
From Gaochang to the west, there is a large amount of Gobi and wasteland, which is collectively known as the Western Regions or Anxi.
The Tang Dynasty established a large number of protective offices in this area and controlled many important cities, but there was no way to establish states and counties to effectively control every inch of land like Xizhou and Shazhou.
There are many small countries in the Western Region and there are countless ethnic groups. Therefore, in the area west of Longyou, the Han and Tang Dynasties adopted the policy of jibi rule.
The so-called restraint means supporting agents and appointing small kings to control this area.
Therefore, starting from the west of Gaochang, it is not so stable. Players of the merchant stream organize caravans to go west, and they will definitely need the protection of players of the adventure stream.
Adventure players call this "bodyguard mission". Although the mission cycle is relatively long, the contribution point rewards are stable and generous. If you kill the robbers, there will be additional rewards.
But this is an exclusive upgrade method for old players. Merchant players will definitely not hire a new player to protect them. These new players may not have as high attribute points as those merchant players.
Today's new players are no longer novices who didn't have any strategies during the game's inception.
After they enter the game, they quickly follow the novice player guide on the forum, find a temporary job that can accumulate contribution points or money, and start their "social animal" career in the game.
After you have accumulated a certain amount of money, you can take the carriage from Shazhou to Guazhou. After arriving in Guazhou, you can then follow the supply convoy heading north to Baowen Mountain to Baowen Mountain.
Or you can form a team and go south to Dangjin Pass and report at the camp in the river valley.
New players who are not willing to fight and kill need to work in Shazhou while waiting for opportunities.
