NOVEL NEXT Chapter 139 Task Test
In other words, players can sell things back to the system at the price of the second-level mall in exchange for points, but these points can only be used to unlock the third-level mall.
There are two levels of gold dragons in the secondary mall: 100 gold dragons with 5 points and 500 gold dragons with 10 points.
Ian naturally chose the more expensive one to redeem.
Soon, Ian opened the third-level mall by paying 2,000 gold dragons.
After thinking for a moment, Ian finally chose to buy two things.
The first was a Valyrian steel swift sword, which he intended to arm the waterdancer master Yada Maul.
In this way, even if Yada encounters a fully armored knight in a competition, he will still be invincible with the armor-breaking ability of Valyrian steel.
The second is that the weirwood seeds in the random mall are mushy. In the long run, it will definitely not be a loss to activate the green prophet's ability in advance.
In fact, if possible, Ian would prefer to buy after the settlement date this month, which will help him consolidate his position as the top brother in the standings.
It's a pity that Hazan's contest is only three days away, and the settlement at the end of the month will have to wait another five days. The Valyrian Swift Sword must be purchased before the contest to be effective.
The random column in the third-level mall is refreshed at the monthly settlement. There are only four grids in the random column. Ian is not sure whether the weirwood seed paste can still be obtained in the future.
After exchanging the items, Ian immediately ate the weirwood seed paste.
Bitter, this was Ian's first reaction.
But the second spoonful was much better, and starting from the third spoonful, Ian seemed to feel the sweetness.
Then it gets better and better and starts to taste like honey, like fresh snow, like pepper and cinnamon.
Ian ate the rest quickly, and finally looked at the empty jar in his hand with unfinished content.
According to Bran's experience in the original book, he should have started to combine with the weirwood at this time.
But unfortunately there are no weirwoods here, and he doesn't have the green prophet talent as powerful as Bran.
The only reason he ate this was to improve his spiritual power and gain the qualification to improve his 'Green Prophet' skills.
After sitting for a while, Ian didn't feel any difference, so he logged into the system again and checked his information:
[Ian: Strength 32, Agility 27, Mental Strength 19
Skills: Basic etiquette, basic reading and writing in Common Tongue, proficient swordsmanship, advanced equestrian, intermediate lance, basic shapechanger, basic greenseer
Attribute points: 0
Skill points: 4
Points: 60
Props: Scroll of basic skills of your choice
Skill Upgrade Scroll]
My mental power has increased by a full 6 points, and I have obtained the Green Seer foundation. These 30 points are well spent. Unfortunately, this improvement can only be a one-time improvement. Drinking this thing in the future will not have any effect.
Moreover, now I only have 60 points left, which is not a good thing.
Ian thought, and went out to call in Rohr who was keeping watch outside.
He planned to replenish his points through two optional tasks this month, and use the tasks to test the information related to the red-robed woman at today's banquet.
In fact, the reason why Ian did not use the two opportunities this month at the beginning of the month was to prepare for the unexpected need to confirm something.
Originally, because the optional missions did not modify the mission description information, players could not use the missions to obtain intelligence.
However, after discovering the bug in the optional mission that ‘if the root cause of mission failure does not exist, the mission will be resolved immediately’, Ian also found a way to obtain intelligence.
The woman in red robe at the banquet was really too concerning. This did not mean that Ian wanted to get involved in matters related to the woman in red robe. He just wanted to ensure that the woman in red robe would not cause trouble to him.
After all, the relationship between the red-robed woman and Prince Hazan's fiancée is so close, and she will need to work very closely with Hazan later.
If this thunder is not eliminated, Ian will have some trouble sleeping and eating. He thinks that he suffered a big loss due to similar omissions in King's Landing.
"My Lord Earl, are you looking for me?" Rohr came to Ian and asked.
If Rolle were not an NPC, Ian felt that he would feel embarrassed at this moment. After all, the other party was watching how he changed from Sir Lucian Lannister to Lord Ian Darry.
"Yes, let's continue with the test we did before. This time the content is..." Ian told Rohr the script he had just thought of.
"The red-robed woman Celia invites you to go to the Red Temple on the top of the mountain to find her. I suspect this is a conspiracy. If you can find out her plan, I will pay you this gold coin. If you can ensure that she will not If it causes danger to you, your mission will be considered completed." Rohr repeated.
Ian did not pursue a higher difficulty level this time. After all, even the task of "Defeating the Horse King or Defending Pantos" was only judged as medium. Until the clearer rules for determining the difficulty of optional tasks are clear, then pull it. High 'theoretical difficulty' has no value anymore.
What Ian is more concerned about now is to confirm whether the woman in red robe really has a plan against him, or whether she is hostile to him.
According to the logic of the previous mission [Defeat the Horse King or Defend Pantos], because the Horse King himself is not hostile to Pantos, the mission is directly judged as completed.
Similarly, if this mission can be directly judged to be completed, it means that the red-robed woman does not want to deal with herself, and there is a high probability that she has nothing to do with the player's power.
If the conclusion is the opposite, Ian needs to re-examine his future cooperation with Prince Hazan on the martial arts competition.
After logging into the system, Ian saw the pop-up task box:
[Discover the triggering mission: thwart the conspiracy of the red-robed woman
Task description: Celia, the red-robed woman, may be brewing a conspiracy against you. Sir Roll hopes that you can find out her purpose, or at least ensure that you will not be in danger because of her.
Mission reward: 1 golden dragon
Additional reward: unknown]
[Accept (consumes 1 point)]
[Complete optional mission 5 ‘Thwarting the conspiracy of the red-robed woman’
Mission Difficulty Rating: Easy
Mission reward: 1 golden dragon
Additional rewards: 1 point, 1 attribute point]
Huh, Ian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the task was completed directly. It’s good that the woman in red robe is not hostile.
As for simplicity? Seeing this difficulty determination, Ian was inexplicably happy.
Although this time I lost 2 points and 2 attribute points compared to the medium difficulty, it at least proved that the optional tasks are not only medium difficulty.
If you can get it easy this time, you might be able to find a way to get it difficult in the future.
Thinking of this, Ian began to list out the completed mission information one by one, trying to find more patterns.
[The truth about the death of Black Falcon] - Judgment difficulty [medium] - Theoretical difficulty [Hard] - Actual difficulty [Hard].
[The mole of the Illyrio Chamber of Commerce] - Judgment Difficulty [Medium] - Theoretical Difficulty [Medium or Hard] - Actual Difficulty [None].
[Defend Pentos] - Judgment Difficulty [Medium] - Theoretical Difficulty [Extremely Difficult] - Actual Difficulty [None].
[Thwart the conspiracy of the red-robed woman] - Judgment difficulty [Easy] - Theoretical difficulty [Medium or Hard] - Actual difficulty [None].
First of all, the last three tasks were completed by myself due to bugs, so the actual difficulty is 0, but their judgment difficulty is different.
In other words, the determination of task difficulty has nothing to do with the actual difficulty.
In terms of theoretical difficulty, except for Illyrio's one, the difficulty of the other three tasks was lower than what I expected.
Wait, Illyrio? Ian suddenly had a guess. Could the determination of difficulty be related to the identity of the person who issued the task?
After all, Illyrio is the Governor of Trade. The biggest gap between him and the other two task issuers [Knight Roll] and [Mercenary Captain Dorian] is status.
Will the different status of the publisher bring gains or losses to the determination of task difficulty? Ian Bujin thought
Soon, Ian set his sights on the two tasks of [Ghost in the Chamber of Commerce] and [Woman in Red Robe].
These two tasks are both non-existent and have the same theoretical difficulty (even the latter is greater than the former), but the former is judged as [Medium], while the latter is judged as [Easy].
This obviously proves Ian's thinking.
In the end, the task test script I came up with is still not very good. Can anyone provide some inspiration?
The method is [use ‘something’ as the ‘key factor leading to mission failure’, and then write a script to complete the mission, and you will know whether that thing exists by seeing whether the mission is completed]
What kind of script can get more important information...
Of course, just asking casually, the plot will not break down
