And this process forcefully accelerates the rules, requiring the consumption of sacrificial power to be 30 times that of a normal resurrection.
This means that a forced resurrection after death will consume 300 sacrificial power points, and the consumption is affected by the player’s own strength.
The stronger the player, the higher the cost of a forced resurrection.
At this stage, this is an exorbitantly expensive expense for players, too costly for the average player to afford.
Qi Sheng isn’t inclined to have players wasting their precious early-stage sacrificial power on quick cooldowns, preferring instead that they spend it on improving their own strength.
This is why he has not made the "Quick Resurrection" function available to players.
After all, players might choose this wasteful method to shorten the cooldown time, which is a complete waste.
As for whether he will unlock this function.
Perhaps in the future, when players are powerful enough that the sacrificial power they generate in an hour is sufficient to cover the losses from the Quick Resurrection cooldown, he will consider making it available to players.
Not paying too much attention to the enthusiastic battles of the veteran team, Qi Sheng’s gaze now shifts towards the perspectives of other novice players.
This batch of recruited players started their game during the rampaging Black Tide phase, choosing a different growth method than previous batches.
They didn’t choose mining but confronted the Black Tide directly.
Compared to the veterans’ dominant lawn-mowing mode, the novices chose to scavenge.
Another charge is beginning at this moment.
The charging force is about 800 strong, three-quarters of which are veterans.
After rushing out of Imperial Tomb Village, they switch to Monster Form and collide head-on with the Black Tide, while novice players follow behind, looking for isolated Demonic Spirits to team up and kill.
In the meantime, the voice chat channel is exceptionally lively:
"These veterans are too fierce, killing Demonic Spirits is like slicing vegetables for them. We can barely kill one with a combined effort, it’s exhausting."
"Look at them, giant snakes over ten meters long, rolling and shaking the ground. Then look at me, a one-meter snake – the size difference is too great, I’m so jealous."
"Wow, Bone Fire Form looks so cool, I really want to know what it feels like to unleash and control Ink Flame. Hope I can embed a Bone Fire Life Soul soon."
"Can anyone introduce what Life Soul Characteristic the purple lance comes with? Holding it looks so cool, killing a row with a single strike, love it!"
"Hey guys, why is there white mist around the mouth of the player next to me every time he breathes in, is he smoking in the game? Seems intense. What’s this about, can someone enlighten us novices?"
Veteran players mostly communicate within guild voice channels or team voice channels, while the local area voice chat is flooded with novices’ exclamations.
These newcomers to the game are extremely curious about the things in Monster World.
They occasionally marvel at the veterans’ impressive moves, envious of them. Whenever a solitary Black Tide Demonic Spirit flies by, they swarm it and launch a group beatdown.
By comparison, the vast majority of veterans are fully engaged in grinding monsters, too lazy to bother with novices.
To the veterans, Black Tide Demonic Spirits represent both evolution points and sacrificial power and can also be converted into real-world currency.
The feeling of killing Demonic Spirits and bursting with Gold Coins is thrilling to them, leaving them with no inclination to care about novices.
Only a few helpful veterans are willing to form teams to level up with novices, taking time to replace the Guiding Avatar in teaching novices the basics of Monster World through the team voice channel.
As Qi Sheng’s gaze continually shifts, he suddenly receives feedback from Guidance and his view switches to a player team in the direction of Artifact Spirit Valley.
At this moment, the squad battling nearby witnesses a scarlet luminescence converge, forming a spherical floating object.
The scene also attracts the attention of the team members, and as they watch curiously, ripples appear on the surface of the spherical object, warping and changing its shape, eventually forming a creature with two horns atop its head and resembling a puppy.
Its body seems to be made of a black mist that sometimes thins into streams and sometimes consolidates into shape, quite like a Black Tide Demonic Spirit.
Right now, it’s curiously surveying its surroundings with sapphire-like eyes, and then looks up and utters a shriek:
Information analysis also presents itself in the minds of the team players at this moment.
[Flowing Shadow (Second Generation Primordial)]
Monster Introduction: A special Second Generation Primordial Monster that controls the power of Avatars. It can create an Avatar with 20% of the physical strength of the main body by consuming spiritual power and control the Avatar through consciousness.
Guidance Annotation: The number of Avatars you can create is influenced by your own spiritual strength. In theory, you can create an infinite number of Avatars, provided you have enough spiritual strength to split your consciousness to control and maintain the Avatars’ consumption.
Upon seeing the analysis information, team members’ eyes widened.
The team leader immediately turned to look at the Guiding Avatar floating next to him:
"Guidance, what’s going on here?"
[Primordial Monsters, aside from those of you inheriting the Emperor’s Power who can kill and contain them, no other creatures in Monster World can truly kill Primordial Monsters. Even if they die, they will respawn with the turn of the world, re-emerging at a random location... To put it simply, you’ve had the good luck of encountering a Primordial Monster that was killed and respawned, feels great to stumble upon this, doesn’t it?]
Guidance answers in a lazy tone.
Upon learning the truth, the team members look at each other and without hesitation lunge towards Flowing Shadow, still raising its head and calling out.
An ink-colored fireball hits the ground, creating a crater, Flowing Shadow is instantly killed, turning into black mist which the nearby Guiding Avatar absorbs and then transports to the containment wall underground.
