I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 117 Amazing Upgrade Speed
Soon, Ye Tingfeng, Jian Potian and Diao Zhatian also arrived at the Gran Defense Line together. The three of them entered the dungeon without any nonsense.

Fortunately, the game does not require them to skin and bone, otherwise they would not be able to collect the Cowhide Cat's Paws now.

However, for wild strawberries, they may need to look carefully in the copy.

After the three of them entered, Sallylan immediately performed space projection.

Jian Potian, Ye Li Tingfeng and Diao Zhatian, whose levels have been upgraded to 11, have seen a significant improvement in their strength, and the time it takes to deal with the twelve goblins has been reduced to more than two minutes.

However, after they dealt with the goblins and picked up some of the dropped gold coins and materials, they did not rush to the next level immediately.

Instead, he started searching around in the first level of the Goblin Forest.

After spending some time, the three of them successfully picked the strawberries.

"Do you want strawberries so badly?"

When Sallylan saw the actions of these three players, she looked at Ivan in surprise.

"Didn't we talk about this last night? This is a test."

"Materials like cow horns, cow hides, and cat claws can be collected as long as they kill monsters."

“But these extra things will take them some time to find.”

Ivan was looked at by Sally Lan's surprised eyes. He paused and spoke calmly.

"Oh yeah, sorry I didn't know you had these thoughts."

When Sallylan heard these considerations, she knew that she had misunderstood and apologized very straightforwardly.

But she noticed the happy expressions on the faces of the three players.

"What exactly is the motivation for their mission?"

"Did you promise them anything as a reward?"

This made Sally Lan feel a little strange.

"No, so I also want to know what they will get after completing the tasks I have assigned them."

Although according to Ivan's gaming experience in his previous life, he should be able to obtain various rewards, but he really wants to know whether those rewards are given by him himself or given directly to these players by some unknown existence.

It is very important to discern this matter, because if it is given by him, then he needs to make more preparations for it.

Otherwise, even if the player is a ruthless task machine, if he completes too many tasks with no rewards, his enthusiasm will decrease and he may even find it troublesome and not do them.

“That’s something we really need to take a closer look at.”

Upon hearing this, Sallylan immediately understood Ivan's thinking.

Then the levels of Jian Potian, Diao Zhatian and Ye Li Tingfeng were upgraded to level 11.

It only took 13 minutes to deal with the goblins, cat demons, and minotaurs and choose to walk out of the dungeon.

After the three of them gathered at the entrance of Gran Forest.

"Eating wild strawberries can actually help with physical strength and recovery of injuries. Although the recovery effect is not very strong, eating a few can save lives. It seems I need to collect more in the future."

When Diao Zhatian saw the two people coming out, he immediately shared some of his discoveries.

"Well, these things can be told to others, which will help others take risks."

I learned about these discoveries by hearing the news at night, and I need to tell others about them immediately after I log off the line.

What the player group lacks most now is blood medicine and blue medicine. These wild strawberries are equivalent to a kind of blood medicine.

As long as you prepare more in advance, it can also be a great help in attacking the dungeon.

"Should we hand it over to the master now, or wait until tomorrow?"

Jian Potian collected eight wild strawberries at one time and completed the task requirements.

Now as long as the master makes the delivery, they are done.

"It's still early now, let's go back to the Ghost Swordsman Dojo and take a look."

"If you can, just hand it in first. Maybe you can get instructions for the next step."

Tingfeng thought about it at night and decided to go and take a look first.

When Jian Potian and Diao Zhatian heard that there might be a new mission, they immediately agreed to go back to the Ghost Swordsman Dojo to take a look.

Even if they cannot deliver it, it will not be too late for them to return to the hotel and practice.

"They want to hand in a task to me, so I'll go back and take a look first."

When Alvin heard that three players were coming to him to hand in a task, he left a few words and quickly left.

Sallylan then teleported away.

As long as strong people like them don't deliberately make any big noise, ordinary strong people will not be able to catch their breath and traces at all, let alone these players.

More than ten minutes later.

At night, Tingfeng, Jian Potian and Diao Zhatian returned to the Ghost Swordsman Dojo smoothly.

When they found that the lights in the Ghost Swordsman Dojo were still on, they walked in.

Found Master Ivan in the martial arts arena.

"Master, I am glad to have accomplished your mission. This is what you need."

The three of them took out some cow horns, cowhides, cat claws, and the necessary wild strawberries from the magic backpack.

"well done."

"Through actual combat, you must have gained a deeper understanding of the Ghost Swordsman's swordsmanship."

When Alvin saw these things placed in front of him, with exactly the same weight, he praised them.

Also along with this praise from Alvin.

At night, Tingfeng, Jian Potian and Diao Zhatian all received the news that their mission was completed.

They immediately saw that the experience bar on their personal panels had risen significantly.

It allowed them to directly advance from level eleven to level twelve, and a stronger force emerged from their bodies.

The task reward of 5000 experience points is still very attractive to them now. After all, the experience points for upgrading from level 12 to level 13 are only 1.

Alvin saw that their levels were directly upgraded and did not show any abnormality.

"You are indeed talented. You must remember that the experience gained from each battle is extremely valuable and needs to be carefully comprehended."

However, he still made some small gestures and praised the three players.

"Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"As long as it is the master's instruction, we will do our best to complete it."

"Master, don't worry about us getting tired. As long as it's what you need, we will do our best."

Ye Litingfeng felt the improvement brought by the tasks, and now he couldn't wait for Master Ivan to give them more tasks.

"Since you are so willing, please help me collect more of these things when you are free every day."

"If there is anything else I need, I will tell you. Now go back and rest."

After hearing this, Alvin considered for a moment and spoke.

This is also a test to see if players can pick it up repeatedly.

If this is possible, then it can be basically confirmed that these tasks are at most side quests.

Although he personally wanted to issue more tasks, he did not see these people enter the fourth level of the Goblin Forest and did not know the specific situation inside.

So for now, I haven’t thought of any better tasks to assign to them, so I’ll just let them do it.

As Ivan finished speaking.

"Yes!"

Jian Potian and the other two saw a [repeatable] combat mission appear on the mission panel.

The types of items required to be collected in the mission are still the ones that Master Alvin requested in the first place.

However, the mission rewards have not been reduced at all, which means that they have the possibility of upgrading their levels faster.

Although the three did not receive any new tasks, they did have an additional repeatable side quest, so they left feeling satisfied.

"Is it because of the nature of the missions I issued that they are limited to side missions at most, or is it because I didn't find the right method?"

Alvin sensed the excitement emanating from the three people as they left, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Personally, he is more inclined to believe that he has not found the right method and the timing is not right.

Because the main quests are often events with considerable influence, and they are one-time quests that cannot be easily replicated.

However, the question of whether the main quest can be affected by them will only be answered when the crisis in the Lant continent occurs.

At night, Tingfeng and the other two left the dojo and returned to the Yemeng Hotel.

After just a few brief exchanges, we unanimously decided to do some brushing as soon as we woke up tomorrow morning and another brushing in the evening.

If you do it twice a day, you can easily skip the resting state where you cannot enter the dungeon immediately after returning to the city. At the same time, you can quickly reach the recommended level 15 for the main quest.

Although they felt that they didn't have to reach level 15 to complete the game, just spending an extra half an hour a day to go back and forth to play the first three levels of the Goblin Forest would still be enough to increase the speed of leveling.

Because after they were upgraded to a higher level today, their bodies and physical strength became stronger, and they could complete the training tasks issued by the master more quickly.

Currently, the three of them have successfully advanced to the third stage of the Ghost Swordsman training mission and are frantically practicing slashing and sweeping.

According to their training method and the improvement of their strength, they are expected to complete their training task and formally learn the skill of [Inner Ghost Sword Technique] in three days.

The three of them started practicing privately right in the room.

Because the strong ghost hand directly makes up for the lack of strength in the left hand, after these days of practice, they have become accustomed to swinging the sword with their left hand.

※※※※※※※

Moonlight Tavern at nine o'clock at night.

Ivan and Sally Lan arrived almost at the same time.

The three of them sat directly around a table.

"It has been confirmed that even if we don't need to give them rewards, something unknown will give them corresponding rewards when they complete the task."

"These rewards include directly helping them to upgrade their levels."

"I just saw with my own eyes that they were promoted directly from level 11 to level 12."

"If you meet Sally Lan next time, you can choose to pretend you didn't see her, or you can use some coping skills and simply give her a few compliments."

"Of course the latter will have a better effect. Even if it's just some polite words, they will be happier to hear it."

"It also proves that we can assign tasks to players using only simple words."

"However, the nature of these tasks is that players are not required to complete them. They are optional tasks."

"This is shown by the fact that they can do it repeatedly."

“And non-repeatability is often the task that players must complete because they will only do it once.”

"So considering all the above, it would be best if the targets of the missions are our respective disciples." "If there are some things that we strongly need players to do, it would be best if we offer some rewards."

"It can be money, weapons and equipment, or even small symbolic and commemorative items."

"This can greatly increase their enthusiasm for completing tasks when they are assigned tasks."

Alvin directly gave some summary of today.

"I see. If I need players to help collect some things, I need to prepare some rewards in advance and have them keep getting them and delivering them to me."

Sosia does not accept players as disciples, and cannot use the players' admiration for their master to at least complete a task spontaneously.

Therefore, the targets of her issuing tasks can only be players who come to the tavern to drink and brag.

"It's better to do it early, but theoretically, the difficulty of the tasks you issue, Sosia, should be lower than that of Sally and I."

"Because we both have our own dojos and academies, the mission targets are basically apprentices and students."

"And you run the Moonlight Tavern, facing all current players, no matter what profession they choose to change to."

"As long as what you ask is within the player's capabilities."

"I think those players should agree to help you. It is still uncertain whether they will help you repeatedly."

"But there's no problem with every player helping you at least once."

"There are currently three thousand players who know about this, so there are three thousand players who can do something for you."

Ivan said slowly after hearing this.

In fact, he still had something to say. Players would definitely be happy to help a beauty like Sosia.

This can be seen from the fact that even though players are intimidated by him, a large number of players still come to the Moonlight Tavern every day to chat and drink.

Moreover, the music in the Moonlight Tavern is really very nice. It is normal for players to come here to rest and kill time when they feel tired of playing games.

“That seems to be the case.”

Sallylan originally thought that having 86 player students and being able to issue tasks was already quite good, but now she heard Ivan's analysis.

I suddenly felt that my 86 player students were not as many as I had imagined.

"At this stage, they are not strong enough to help me collect some things."

"But since I can give orders to all the players, I should think about what reasons I can use to ask them for help."

Sosiah seemed to be thinking deeply after hearing this.

Although some of the materials she really needs can only be collected by players who are at least level 40, now is the observation stage for the players.

Therefore, some small things that can be done or not can also be handed over to the players.

But given her identity, she also needs to prepare some small things to make the players excited.

"You can prepare, but don't be too anxious."

"My three player disciples are now level 12."

"As expected, they should be able to start preparing to attack deeper into the Goblin Forest."

"It won't be too late to talk about it after Sally and I observe what the players will encounter when they attack deeper into the city."

"According to the time, it should be within these few days."

Ivan knew that once players truly mastered the power of each profession, they would be able to level up faster and faster.

For players, the most difficult part of every cultivation path is getting started.

As long as players have mastered the basics of each profession and can really adapt to the body they project into.

Then the time and speed at which players master various moves will become faster and faster.

It is not an easy thing for an ordinary strong man to experience fighting an enemy stronger than himself with all his might, surviving the near-death struggle, and improving his strength and perception.

The price to pay is often physical disability or death, but players can gain insights through countless deaths.

"Well, it just so happens that I need some time to make some small things as rewards."

"First, let's take a look at what your player disciple will encounter in the future."

Sosia nodded slightly upon hearing this.

She has now witnessed the terrifying speed at which players improve their strength.

Two days ago, Ye Tingfeng and the other two were still at level ten. For ordinary people to make a breakthrough, it would take at least half a month.

And now, only two days have passed, but Ye Tingfeng, Jian Potian and Diao Zhatian have directly reached level 12 tonight.

Moreover, the level improvement brought about by constantly killing monsters may not be inferior to the strength gained by practicing for a long time.

Because countless battles will eventually hone out terrifying combat capabilities.

"Can we ask them to help with errands like delivering mail?"

Sally Lan was also considering this at this time.

According to her understanding, players can get rewards for completing tasks, and these rewards include direct level upgrades.

Currently, the players and students of the Magic Academy are still unable to pass the first level of the Goblin Forest, and are clearly lagging behind the progress of other players.

So as a mentor, she needs to think of some ways to stabilize the mentality of these player disciples.

In order to prevent these players from suffering too much psychological gap and choosing to run away directly, even though she might return to the path of practicing magicians in the future, she does not want to be a lone commander.

"Of course you can, but the person you want to send the letter to now should preferably be Sosia."

"She belongs to an insider, so even if it's a meaningless letter, Sosia can accept it."

Ivan saw that Sallylan wanted to retain the player students, so he gave her direct affirmation.

"That's fine, I'll let them try it tomorrow."

"But why not include you, Mr. Irving?"

"Aren't you also an insider?"

When Sallylan heard that she could do this, she felt relieved, but she noticed the key words in Ivan's words.

Because of Sosia's instructions, she couldn't directly tell others about the existence of the player.

Therefore, the only people who can repeatedly let the player forward meaningless letters are Sosia and Ivan.

"I teach my disciples to practice during the day, and I don't have time to write back."

"Even if Sosia is not free, she can still receive the letter through the summons."

"She is clearly a better recipient of your letters than I am."

"If you really have trouble, you can come and discuss it with me directly."

Irwin gave his reasons.

"Row."

Sallyland originally thought that Ivan just found it troublesome and didn't want to receive her letter, but when she heard the last sentence, some of her thoughts immediately disappeared.

"In the next few days, when my dojo closes around 8 o'clock, Sallylan, don't run around and stay at the magic academy."

"I will come to you then, and we will take a look at the progress of my disciples' attack."

"If there is nothing else to discuss, I will go back and rest."

After Alvin told Sally Lan about his discoveries today and finalized some plans for the future, he gave Sally Lan some instructions and prepared to go back to sleep.

When Sosia heard this, she also took out the elf essence. After drinking it, Alvin left money for the beer and the cleaning fee for the martial arts field and left immediately.

Sally Lan was left with a confused look on her face.

"What does he mean? Why did he tell me not to run around?"

"Didn't I arrive early tonight and help him open the space projection to check the situation?"

"The meaning is very clear. Mr. Ivan went to the Magic Academy tonight to look for you, but he didn't find you."

"I guess he spent some time looking for you in the Sgri area, and he didn't expect to run into you by chance at the Gran Line."

Seeing Sally Lan's confused and innocent face, Sosia explained with some amusement.

She probably figured that Alvin had just finished a day's work and successfully assigned tasks to the players.

I was just about to find Sallylan to go check on the players, but ended up coming back empty-handed.

"So this is what he meant when he said that."

When Sallylan heard this, she couldn't help but recall the first words that Ivan said when they met outside the Gran Line.

Not asking her how the players were doing, but simply asking her why she was there.

Now that she had been reminded of everything and realized that she might have caused Ivan to waste some time looking for him, Sallylan's expression changed from innocent and confused at the beginning to a guilty conscience.

"Okay, now that you know, let's act according to the plan."

"It's 8 o'clock in the evening. My tavern is not closed yet and it's inconvenient to move, so I'll trouble you and Mr. Irving to observe it for a while."

Sosia saw Sallylan's guilty look after realizing what was happening, and she chuckled and tried to comfort her.

The most appropriate situation would be for her to act with Alvin, because she could more intuitively understand some of the intentions that Alvin wanted to express.

However, she is currently busy between 8 and 9 p.m. and cannot get away.

And it would be a good thing to let Ivan and Sally Lando cooperate and communicate with each other.

So there was no need for her to disrupt the tavern's schedule.

"It's no trouble. I'll do my best to cooperate."

Sallyland didn't understand at first, so she felt that what Ivan said was incomprehensible, but she knew that she was not very reliable, so she immediately made a promise.

And observing some of the players' situations is a very interesting thing for Sallylan at the moment.

She always discovers something new and interesting about the players that she has never encountered before.

"Don't have to have so much psychological pressure, just do your best."

"By the way, are there any changes in the player disciples of your academy today?"

"Are they going to leave together as Mr. Irving said?"

Sosia took a sip of the wine, comforted Sally Lan, and then started the conversation with a smile.

"There were signs of this originally, but my eldest disciple Vivian took care of it..."

When Sallylan heard that Sosia wanted to know these things, she quickly expressed her inner joy with a beaming face.

"I see. Vivian actually solved this problem by accident."

Sosia listened and chimed in at the right moment.

This made Sallylan forget the guilt and worry she had just felt and she became happy.
