Chapter 3 Potential Obsolescence
It's not hard to deduce.
Attribute points are not only the threshold for comprehending skills and expertise, but also the threshold for using equipment props, whether it is a player or an NPC, the attribute points brought by the same level upgrade are the same, so the additional attribute points obtained determine their skill expertise and even the amount and strength of equipment.
Moreover, the advantage of the same level is snowballing, and there may not be much difference at the low level, but the number of skills and specialties possessed by professionals with high potential when they rise to the third or fourth level or even higher can even open up the gap of several times that players with low potential at the same level.
For the same target, high-potential professionals can crush or even have cross-level challenges, while low-potential players can only use crowd tactics.
This point becomes more obvious at a higher level.
Ye Ningning pressed the level at level 4, and he was still able to suppress all the other players below, firmly occupying one of the first capitals, and there were countless conjectures about the first player on the forum, but it only touched the tip of Ye Ningning's iceberg.
As long as this advantage can be maintained, even if the level difference between the player and Ye Ningning continues to widen, Ye Ningning is not worried about the reversal of strength at all.
The biggest advantage of players over NPCs is the speed of leveling up, but the biggest disadvantage is also this.
Sacrificing potential for the sake of upgrading speed will hit the level ceiling early, and if you want to make up for it, it will take multiple times the time of Ye Ningning, which is the reason why these top players in their previous life touched the ceiling and were difficult to promote.
However, Ye Ningning did not feel complacent.
The existence of potential boundaries,Although it is not known to most players now,But the truth of accumulation has long been known,Everyone knows it,It's just that the current players are being chased by the cycle of monsters.,In the face of survival,Everything is secondary.,Even if it's a long-term vision.,You have to sacrifice the future for the present.。
And Ye Ningning can do what others can't do, because she has a far better understanding of this game than others, not because she has a vision that surpasses all the surviving players.
It's an advantage that comes with being born again, and there's nothing to be proud of.
If you are complacent and think that you are superior to others because of this, you are foolish.
Ye Ningning was of course proud.
But her pride does not come from external objects, but from herself.
The adversity of the previous life could not stop her from standing above hundreds of millions of people, and the good times of this life were even more impossible.
Looking at the attribute panel, Ye Ningning frowned, realizing that he had entered the first bottleneck period.
Free attribute points are not too many at any time, but Ye Ningning knows very well that this time the free attribute point reward may be the last time, with her current physical attribute with a huge distance from the spell casting attribute, it is almost impossible to break through the four surrounds in the first place.
The world is so big, there are countless capable people, and there are lucky people who are full of luck every day, and as time goes by, Ye Ningning's prophetic advantage will become smaller and smaller.
For example, this trip to the labyrinth dragged on for nearly two months, and Ye Ningning even had the psychological preparation to be taken away by someone who broke through the extraordinary first place in the three attributes:
This is not impossible to happen, if a player's own attributes are outstanding, and there are one or two adventures, it is not impossible to break through the three attribute transcendence before Ye Ningning.
The further back, the greater the probability of this kind of thing happening, in this competition, Ye Ningning is equivalent to competing with the endless adventurers all over the world, and the advantage will gradually be equalized with the latecomers.
It's easy to understand.
Take the advent quest, for example.
If Ye Ningning spends nearly two months looking for the advent dungeon and snatching the first pass of the dungeon as much as possible, even if the success rate is not 100%, but with Ye Ningning's strength, these two months are enough for her to get at least 5 extra attribute points, and if she is lucky, 10 points or even more is not impossible.
And missing these two months means losing the best source of risk-free access to additional attribute points, even if Ye Ningning still has many channels to obtain additional attribute points, but the cost of any of them cannot be compared.
It can be said that for this alone, Ye Ningning has already suffered a great loss in strength, and the impact of this loss will become greater and greater as the level increases.
The same is true in other ways.
After all, Ye Ningning's biggest advantage with other players is her understanding of the game, but no matter how much she knows, it is always limited, and the players' exploration of the game is improving geometrically every minute and second, which is equivalent to Ye Ningning competing with two billion players in the world, and the gap between the two will only narrow, and it will hardly be widened.
Coupled with the existence of the player forum, the expansion of information will not be hindered by geography, and it will not be long before Ye Ningning will not have too much advantage in information - at least, the advantage in information can no longer make her absolutely ahead of all players.
It can be said that Ye Ningning's strength loss in the past two months is immeasurable.
However, for such a big price, Ye Ningning did not regret it at all.
Without the fire of order, perhaps she was already in the dungeon organized by some evil camp at this time, and the ten tortures took turns.
This is by no means alarmist.
Based on Ye Ningning's experience in his previous life, the depth of the water in the NPC camp of this game is unimaginable to ordinary people, and it is definitely not what most players think now, just the game background board and the artificial intelligence that serves the player.
In the previous life, many players were planted on this, and there was no scum left, and Ye Ningning would not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Not only can we not repeat the mistakes of the past, but we must also guard against them with the greatest malice -
Ye Ningning didn't want to know how the previous "player firsts" in her previous life died, she only knew that she would never want to be targeted by any strong person or organization with malicious intentions and proficient in prophecy spells, and become a forbidden or puppet of a certain strong person or organization.
It's not impossible.
A few years ago, the strong player who called for wind and rain suddenly disappeared, and then appeared in a secret underground auction, his strength was exhausted, he was put on a confinement ring, and became a slave who was bought and sold at will, and even his relatives and friends could not be held accountable for rescue, and he would even be implicated in the scourge-
Ye Ningning has seen more than one case of this kind of thing.
No one knows what they went through.
The fate of these people makes all players realize that "Earth Online" is not a game for players to fight monsters and upgrade, don't think that you can sit back and relax if you can kill monsters, and don't think that you can do whatever you want if you are strong-
Its test of surviving humanity is by no means limited to what players do.
It's a real world.
It is also the real end times.
If you can't adapt to its rules, you can only eliminate it.
This elimination is fair, and it is fair to all players, no matter how high the level and the strength is.
It's just going to come out in a different way.
Therefore, no matter how great the temptation to rely on the advantages of the prophet to improve his strength is, Ye Ningning is unmoved.
