Chapter 372 Harsh Conditions
Wang Yunze also suddenly said: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, I need to remind you that the so-called free use of array materials here is actually conditional."
"Oh?" Zhou Daocheng's eyes moved and asked: "What conditions?"
Wang Yunze explained: "If the array skills are not superb and the array materials are extremely damaged, the Spiritual Array Palace will reduce the supply of materials to you and only allow you to refine arrays of lower quality."
"On the contrary, if your array skills are superb and the array you arrange is of extremely high quality, the supply of materials to you will be increased accordingly, and even the contribution points of each array will be increased to a certain extent."
Zhou Daocheng frowned and nodded. Although this arrangement is harsh, it is not unreasonable.
Array masters with high abilities get better conditions, and array masters with low abilities will naturally be a little behind. After all, the Wang family and the Tang family are not giving benefits, and it is impossible for others to benefit for no reason.
It's just that in this way, it is more difficult to obtain contribution points through arrays. Of course, you can also arrange simple arrays to increase your success rate. But if you can only exchange contribution points by setting up a second-level inferior formation, you can only get 50 contribution points for each set.
50 contribution points, when converted into spirit stones, only 500 spirit stones, this is definitely a loss.
Thinking of this, Zhou Daocheng couldn't help asking: "Wang Daoyou, I wonder what the loss rate is to be qualified?"
"The average loss rate is less than 20%." Wang Yunze replied.
Hearing this, Zhou Daocheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the limit on the loss rate was not very large.
In the process of setting up the formation, it is not realistic to want to destroy all the materials at once, after all, the formation is different from alchemy and refining.
In the process of alchemy, as long as you are not careful, you will directly destroy a whole furnace of spiritual medicine, almost losing all your money, so the loss rate is very high.
Refining is relatively better, but once a mistake occurs, most of the refining materials will be directly scrapped.
But the formation is different. Although the materials consumed are more than alchemy and refining, if there are some mistakes in the process, will not cause all the materials to be destroyed.
For example, if there is a mistake when arranging the array, only the material carrying the array will be destroyed.
Only in very rare cases will most of the materials be destroyed, such as serious mistakes in the final stage of arranging the array.
For Zhou Daocheng, the 20% error rate is barely controllable.
Wang Yunze saw that Zhou Daocheng's quality was constantly changing, and was worried that he felt it was too strict, so he couldn't help but remind him: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, although the rules here are more stringent, the benefits are also very good, especially the contribution points obtained through the array, the items that can be exchanged are slightly different."
Zhou Daocheng's eyes lit up and asked: "The exchanged items are different? Aren't they exchanged for items on the list outside?"
Wang Yunze smiled and said: "Of course not, but for any contribution points obtained through cultivation skills, there will be another exchange table, and Fellow Daoist Zhou can check it yourself!"
...
After Zhou Daocheng had a brief understanding, he also returned from Wang Yunze.
As a second-level array master, he can arrange the array alone and has great autonomy. If he is a first-level array master, he can only serve as an assistant to other second-level array masters, and the treatment is relatively much worse.
After returning to his residence, Zhou Daocheng also asked for an exchange table and found that the things that can be exchanged are indeed very different.
In particular, some items are of great significance to the Zhou family!
For example, Zhou Daocheng saw the inheritance of the second-level lower-grade spiritual plant master on the exchange table. Although the quality is not particularly high, it is enough for the foundation-building family.
Even among them, Zhou Daocheng also saw extremely precious innate spiritual water, second-level middle-grade magic tools, second-level puppets, spiritual beast eggs, precious spiritual medicines, etc....
However, he did not see the foundation-building pill. It seems that even for the Purple Mansion forces, the foundation-building pill is an extremely precious treasure.
Among the items that can be exchanged, Zhou Daocheng saw a lot of items he needed.
"Yes, the contribution points for setting up the formation are not low, and the environment is safe. It is much easier than fighting on the front line." Zhou Daocheng was also very satisfied. He was satisfied to stay safely in the rear and survive this war safely.
By the way, he also sent a message to his eldest brother Zhou Daobai, asking him to temporarily return to the depths of the Hundred Insects Poison Swamp.
He had just asked Wang Yunze and learned that all the foundation-building cultivators had been arranged to garrison at their respective locations. As for the cultivators who were not on the list, there should be no other arrangements in the short term.
After all, the manpower in each garrison was specially arranged, and people were not placed wherever they wanted.
However, just in case, the family also prepared a team for support, which would stay in Donglin Market for a short period of time and be sent out for special support when support was needed in the future.
Zhou Daobai could do the same, and come out to listen to the arrangements when needed in the future.
Zhou Daobai naturally had no objection and returned directly to the depths of the Hundred Insect Poison Swamp. It just so happened that people were needed to stay on the island to ensure the safety there.
When Zhao Yunzhi and Zhou Daoqi broke through and Fu Qingya came to the Hundred Insect Poison Swamp, the pressure would be less.
Next, it would be a relatively stable day for the Zhou family.
In the rear, they only needed to defend the Fog Valley Market and the third-level spirit stone vein to ensure the safety of these two rear areas.
As for the front line, Zhou Daocheng was the only one there, so he stayed in the Spiritual Array Palace and contributed points by setting up the formation.
…
After returning to his own house, Zhou Daocheng first arranged a formation to cover the entire house to prevent others from disturbing him.
Then, he entered the practice room alone and began to refine the formation in seclusion.
He also needed to think about what formation to refine. Different formations have different difficulty levels and different contribution points, which need to be carefully weighed.
Previously, Wang Yunze told him that during the war, the demand for killing formations and trapped formations was the greatest, and the exchanged contribution points were relatively more.
The demand for defensive formations and mazes was relatively small.
In other words, it was not that the demand for these two formations was small, but that the restrictions of these two formations were relatively high.
Under what circumstances are defensive formations and mazes needed? Naturally, it is when defending the position and the spirit vein. In any case, the requirements for the formation are relatively high, and generally they need to be arranged on the spot, and the effect of the formation plate will be infinitely reduced.
Moreover, these two formations need to cooperate with the environment. If there is a relatively suitable environment, it will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.
On the contrary, if the environment is not suitable for arranging defensive formations and mazes, even if they are arranged on the spot, the effect will not be very good.
In comparison, the application scope of killing arrays and trapping arrays is wider. In small-scale wars, they can directly enhance the combat effectiveness of foundation-building cultivators and increase the possibility of winning.
