"Not even a single piece of equipment dropped…"
Even Looting IX had to bow his proud head before the drop rate of Diablo, where it was common to grind for months for a single piece of equipment in the game.
What's more, in the real world…
Picking up the 22 gold coins on the ground, Yang Tao was already quite satisfied. Looking up at the Fallen returning, he couldn't help but complain:
"Do these Fallen have the temper of a silly roe deer? They ran away but still came back…"
The Fallen as a race are extremely cowardly; as long as they see companions injured or sacrificed in battle, they will quickly flee the battlefield.
However, they are like green-skinned Orcs; the more numerous they are, the braver they become. If there are thousands or tens of thousands of them, they even dare to charge high-level demons.
Of course, whether they can win is another matter.
Looking at the Fallen charging back, Yang Tao naturally wouldn't be polite. He swung his short sword, striking its body. Its health bar disappeared, and the Fallen immediately fell dead. This time, however, the number of gold coins was even less, only 8.
"This isn't right… Even if this Fallen itself doesn't drop gold coins, with the Greed Ring, it should at least be 16, right?"
16 health points dropping 16 gold coins, no problem at all!
In reality, only half dropped. A thought popped into his mind: "Could it be that I have to hit it one health point at a time for it to drop completely?"
Looking at the last Fallen rushing back, Yang Tao met it in a few steps and reached out to grasp the Fallen's neck.
A crisp slapping sound rang out.
Just like the Zombie before, a gold coin spun and fell to the ground.
Slap, slap, slap…
Consecutive slaps, excellent effect.
With the last hit, a grey cloth armor flew out from the Fallen's corpse.
He casually exchanged the Fallen's corpse for energy points.
"3 energy points? Could it be that these Fallen are projections, just like Warp demons?"
In the game, Diablo 2 is divided into three worlds: Normal, Frowner, and Nether. Correspondingly, these are the monster's projection, clone, and the true body in the Nether.
He picked up the cloth armor dropped by the Fallen.
Cloth Armor
Defense 8-11
Strength Requirement 12
Level Requirement 1
Durability 18 / 20
The white cloth armor had no additional attributes.
"So stingy, not even full durability."
But at least it was his first armor in the Diablo world, and his level and strength met the requirements for the cloth armor. He opened his backpack and placed the cloth armor in the equipment slot.
At the same time, a piece of cloth armor appeared on his body. The size was very suitable, with no uncomfortable feeling.
"This is quite humane!"
After putting on the equipment, Yang Tao could clearly feel a special power appearing around his body. This was clearly the effect of the defense attribute.
After the three Fallen were dealt with, Yang Tao looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, then set his direction and began to sprint ahead.
At the same time, he was also pondering.
'This should be the Blood Moor. I wonder if I can find the Rogue Encampment…'
More than ten minutes later, a Zombie appeared again in his line of sight. This guy was like a stumbling old man, walking with difficulty across the grass, bent at the waist.
Yang Tao slightly adjusted his direction and charged straight towards this Zombie. This Zombie's alert range was even farther than the Fallen's, at about 150 meters, when the opponent 'discovered' him.
Its formerly hunched body immediately straightened up as if it had taken a little blue pill, and it came towards him with outstretched arms, overflowing with enthusiasm.
Its speed was roughly similar to a normal person's slow jog.
'Leo Kick!'
With the power of his run-up, Yang Tao kicked the Zombie in the chest. The feeling from his foot was like kicking a rotten wooden board.
Bang, the Zombie and gold coins fell to the ground together.
Yang Tao kicked the Zombie's body furiously. With each kick, a gold coin would fly out from its body.
Just then, Yang Tao suddenly felt a slight pain in his butt. Turning his head, he saw a half-meter long black spike stuck in his butt.
!!!
A black figure was seen pacing back and forth, hidden in the weeds thirty meters away.
"Bristle Mouse?!"
This was a native creature of the Sanctuary world. Although its name was Bristle Mouse, it looked very much like a porcupine.
Its attack method was to shoot the spikes on its body.
Yang Tao immediately gave up the idea of slowly getting gold coins. He took out his short sword and directly plunged it into the Zombie's body. The Zombie, which already had little health, immediately died on the spot, dropping some gold coins.
He glanced at the gold coins.
'I still need to make a Black Hole Band…'
Then I'll turn it off when fighting bosses and activate it when clearing groups of monsters.
He glanced at his health.
His original 45 health points were down to 41. Just then, the Bristle Mouse in the distance slightly arched its body, and a spike shot towards Yang Tao.
Having already prepared, Yang Tao lightly sidestepped and dodged. The thirty-meter distance was basically two or three seconds.
The Bristle Mouse's whole body of spikes made Yang Tao abandon the idea of using his fists and feet. He directly aimed for the Bristle Mouse's head and stabbed it fiercely.
The Bristle Mouse, struck by the attack, stiffened for a moment, then went insane, bristling all its spikes and charging towards Yang Tao with its short legs.
However, this Bristle Mouse's speed was too slow. It was fine for playing sneak attack while hiding in the grass, but close combat?
Heh heh, it's probably here to be funny.
Easily dealing with this Bristle Mouse, a bottle containing red liquid flew out from the Bristle Mouse's body. Yang Tao, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed it directly.
Minor Healing Potion
Restores 30 health points when used
"Potion? I remember new characters are supposed to get 4 Minor Healing Potions for free. Did they even take this from me?"
No equipment, and even the potions are stolen!
This broken mod is really stingy!
He silently complained and threw the potion into his backpack. This trash potion was not as good as the mushrooms that grew everywhere in Terraria.
Although mushrooms only restore 20 health, they are instant. These healing potions in the Diablo world take time to recover.
Looking down at the dead Bristle Mouse, Yang Tao directly threw the corpse into his backpack.
'If I can't find the Rogue Encampment tonight, then this Bristle Mouse is dinner!'
As for the Nether aura infecting the Bristle Mouse, heh heh, if it weren't for the Fallen eating human flesh, and Zombies being human corpses infected by Nether aura, he would definitely try it to see how it tastes.
Continue forward.
Along the way, he cleared a fair number of monsters, dropping many coins and potions, but the only equipment he had was still the cloth armor on his body.
He glanced at his experience: 97 / 2000.
"One monster only gives one experience point, and the drop rate is so low."
In half a day, Yang Tao cleared a total of 97 monsters, and this was without any stamina limitations.
If it were anyone else, who knows when they would be able to level up.
The clouds in the sky were tinged red by the setting sun, and a dirt road appeared in his line of sight.
"Finally, I found a road!"
With a road, he could find either the Rogue Encampment or the Cold Plains. No matter where he went, he would encounter people.
