Chapter 3: Accepting Tasks, Elective System (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Rewards)

On the second day of his arrival in this world, when he only had one silver Xi and fifty copper in his pocket, Shi Yinghu spent twenty-five copper to eat breakfast in the cafeteria, and then stepped into the mission hall of the Ancient Serpent's Castle that was open to students.

For breakfast, he had butter bread slices, grilled onions with gravy, and a pork broth.

The tongue in his mouth twisted, and Shi Yinghu still seemed to be able to taste the rich and mellow taste of pork soup with butter bread slices.

Although for his current worth, spending twenty-five copper for breakfast is too luxurious, but after leaving the Ancient Snake Castle, he will not be able to enjoy such a cheap food subsidy, so in the eyes of foodies like Shi Yinghu, it is worth paying and gaining like this.

Of course, it's time to make money.

Otherwise, even if the school cafeteria of the Ancient Serpent's Fort has financial subsidies from the government, it will not give even a piece of black bread to a student who can't even pay a copper in vain.

In this world, because of the relatively harsh living environment of human beings, the vast majority of people do not have extra good hearts.

Dressed in a shabby cloth robe, Shi Yinghu walked into a school building, the task hall prepared by the school for students.

As mentioned earlier, "unless you are a particularly outstanding student, you can get some opportunities to make money", but ordinary students don't think about it.

Therefore, the tasks in the task hall prepared by the school for students are usually some miscellaneous tasks:

For example, doing laundry for a professor, tidying up the house, weeding, taking care of pets, patrolling at night, and so on, it is possible to earn some food expenses through work-study, but the odds of how much money you really make are very small.

It is not cost-effective to do these school tasks and earn a little money but affect his normal academic practice, but Kate Bryan has actually graduated, and the knowledge is stored in his head, and Shi Yinghu is worried that too big changes in daily behavior will reveal his feet, so he chooses to take on a school patrol mission first.

Eating a little better at a meal or two once in a while doesn't change too much, and no one is sensitive enough to do that.

Quest bulletin board, a piece of parchment with attachments:

Ancient Serpent's Fort Patrol Mission, Regular Mission

Duration: one month

Reward: 1 gold coin

Note: If you find a potential danger during the mission, you can solve it yourself or notify the school, and after the mission is over, the school will add the task reward according to the specific situation.

A gold coin is equal to ten silver Xike, and one silver Xike is equal to a hundred copper, that is to say, a gold coin is equal to about a thousand yuan, and during this month's patrol, the food expenses are at your own expense, and it is difficult to make any money by completing a simple patrol mission, fortunately, Shi Yinghu just wants to leave the ancient snake castle to digest all the knowledge and memories of Kate Bryan.

Reach out and tear off the parchment on the bulletin board, this task is done if someone does it, no one does it for months or even a year and a half, and there is nothing.

As one of the major schools of demon hunters, the ancient snake castle is called the "snake cave" by the demon hunter world, in fact, there are very few "people" who really dare to make trouble, and if it is a low-level demon and undead creature without reason, after being discovered by the residents of the surrounding villages and towns, they will also ask for help from the ancient snake castle as soon as possible.

So, it's a routine task that's better than nothing.

After tearing off the task parchment, Shi Yinghu did not leave, but continued to stare at the task bulletin board, trying to find out if there was any task that could be completed by the way, after a while, Shi Yinghu's eyes lit up, and then he tore off a piece of parchment from the bulletin board, and then walked to the task administrator in charge of registration.

The collection of the Grass of the Dead Soul, commissioned mission

Client: Professor of Pharmacy Akles

Time: Permanently

Reward: Five healing potions

Note: The Dead Soul Grass grows in places with a strong necromantic aura and resembles a dandelion, but when blown by the wind, it will take on the image of a howling human face.

To complete the patrol mission, you have to go around the ancient snake fortress to go around five specific locations to complete the patrol, including the cemetery, the cathedral and other places, so by the way, if you can find it, you will have a relationship with Mr. Aklais, a professor of pharmacy.

In the end, Shi Yinghu completed the task registration, but was asked by the administrator to paste back the parchment of the Dead Soul Grass collection task, this task is shared for a long time, in fact, as long as you bring the herbs, no matter whose Professor Akreth is, you will receive it.

At noon that day, Shi Yinghu simply packed up his baggage, and then left the Ancient Snake Castle.

If it was a rich man, he would rent or even buy a traveling horse, but Shi Yinghu was really not a rich man at this time, so he could only use his two legs to run.

Of course, Shi Yinghu didn't care about this, just now the soul descended on the body now, many times the body is numb, the control of hands and feet is not flexible, a hard trip, help himself to smelt his heart, eyes, hands and feet and unity.

Carrying a package, wearing an old cloth robe, and carrying two long swords presented by the school, Shi Yinghu embarked on a journey to this world.

The two long swords given by the school, one is a conventional steel sword, and the other is a silver magic sword, the former kills people and the latter removes spirits, which is the last gift of the ancient snake castle to each of its students...... It's not cheap, the annual tuition fee of the Ancient Serpent's Castle is 1,000 gold coins, and Kate Bryan has been trained in the Ancient Serpent's Fort for ten years, and after graduation, she has to repay the school ten gold coins every month for ten years.

Of course, students can also choose to repay the school seven gold coins per month for twenty years, or six gold coins per month for thirty years. In short, there is almost never a debt of money owed to the Ancient Serpent's Fortress without paying it back.

The strong will not be short of this little money, and the weak will not be able to not repay the money in front of the ancient snake castle.

The reputation of the Ancient Serpent's Castle in the world of the Demon Hunter is both good and evil, and for students who violently resist debts, they can directly catch them and become skeleton mages and skeleton warriors, some people can accept it, and some people can't agree with it.

............

There is a common illusion in the world: that is, horses can run more than people.

But in fact, except for the short sprint, in the distance of more than 100 kilometers, the horse cannot outrun without considering the logistics factor. If you consider logistics...... Horses can't outrun people, because horses need far more food than humans, and the cooling system is far less than humans, if a person who has been exercising for many years runs endurance running with a horse for more than 200 kilometers, if you don't use various methods to cool down the horse, the vast majority of horses in the world will die after less than half of the run.

On the journey from the Ancient Serpent's Fort to the first stop in the Kampard Forest, Shi Yinghu, who was carrying the burden and his twin swords, wrapped his cloth robe around his legs and arms, and then ran wildly, stopping to rest when his physical strength was about two-thirds of the way out, and then starting to run.

In the process of running, Shi Yinghu's hands continue to form various Dao Gate seals, the magic effect is completely absent, but it can be combined with breathing and breathing exercises to invigorate the body qi and blood, and even in the process of running, Shi Yinghu's feet and ten fingers are also constantly connecting the law seals, handprints, spitting, and footprints echo each other, making the qi and blood surge around the body, and gradually dispel the cold and cold feeling that was originally all over Kate Bryan's body.

This feeling is partly due to the Necromancer's meditation practice, but even more due to Kate Bryan's chronic lack of exercise and chronic malnutrition.

After all, he is only eighteen years old this year, and it is the time when his qi and blood are vigorous, and the cultivation of necromancy is still shallow, in fact, it is far from reaching the point where negative energy erodes the body and the load is difficult to return.

In the process of running for a long time, Shi Yinghu was drenched in sweat, his originally pale cheeks were swollen and red, and at this moment, the grass on the side of the road shook slightly, and then a fluffy and chubby rabbit jumped out, brown and yellow, it was not very afraid of people, and it looked really cute.

"Whirring ......"

Footsteps stopped, Shi Yinghu panted and smiled softly at the brown and yellow fat rabbit and said, "Little guy, the sun is so big, aren't you afraid of heat stroke?"

The fluffy and chubby brown and yellow rabbit tilted its head, as if it didn't understand what Shi Yinghu was saying.

Twenty minutes later, Shi Yinghu skinned the fat rabbit, cleaned it, and then put it on the fire to roast, the pure wild rabbit was extremely fat, and it was roasted on the fire until it exploded, and the aroma overflowed. Shi Yinghu tore off a rabbit leg, and then swallowed it on black bread, black bread as hard as wood, and then mixed with rabbit fat after baking, it is not a good flavor.

This time out of the castle of the ancient snake, Shi Yinghu did not bring much salutes, but all kinds of condiments were not less to buy, in the case of choice, Shi Yinghu did not allow himself to suffer, he paid hard cultivation efforts, and got the reward of delicious food every day, this is a kind of dynamic balance, blindly squeezing oneself to suffer, in Shi Yinghu's opinion, it is not a strong way.

After eating and drinking enough and resting for a while, Shi Yinghu sat cross-legged under a tree and began to cultivate the Necromantic Meditation Method of this world.

The life evolution system of this plane world is completely different from the true qi martial arts system of the earth plane, and the true qi martial arts system of the earth plane calms the mind, hollows out the mind, sinks the qi in the dantian, gathers the surrounding source energy, and uses the dantian qi sea two inches below the umbilicus as a melting pot to mix and temper the spiritual energy, qi and blood energy, and heaven and earth source energy into the true qi that promotes the evolution of life.

However, the cultivation system that he came to this world was the core of his cultivation at the ancestral point of the upper dantian eyebrows, and he developed a set of cultivation paths that were completely different from the true qi martial arts system.

Mainly based on spiritual energy and heaven and earth source energy, he constantly cultivated his own spiritual power, and finally derived something that Shi Yinghu had never thought of, similar to: spiritual meridian system.

All this knowledge is recorded in Kate Bryan's memory, so it is not difficult for Shi Yinghu to extract it easily, the only problem is that with the devouring and replacement of souls, Kate Bryan's original solidified spirit meridian system and its related spell bits have all disappeared and cleared.

This is also the reason why Shi Yinghu hurriedly left the Ancient Serpent Castle, he can't cast a single necromancy spell now, and if he is asked to practice casting spells in class, he will immediately reveal his fat claws.

(The Necromancy of the Ancient Serpent's Citadel is divided into three major systems: the Bone System, the Curse System, and the Bone and Toxin System, and low-level necromancers will choose to major in both of them.) )

(Kate Bryan is a more extreme person, he only majors in the white bone summoning system, and he only has a superficial taste of the curse system, and the white bone and toxin system has not been cultivated at all, in fact, these three systems have their own strengths, and they are all extremely practical abilities.) In the ocean of memory, looking down at the memories of his predecessor, Shi Yinghu can distinguish more clearly as a bystander.

Now there is a little skill point on the hunter system that has not been used, and he is also extremely weak at the moment, so he needs this skill point to effectively strengthen his combat effectiveness and improve his self-protection ability.

In addition to his extreme temperament, Kate Bryan is actually a scholar-type character, and his knowledge reserve is very outstanding among first-order necromancers, after Shi Yinghu obtains this knowledge, whether it is the white bone summoning, the necromantic curse, or the primary spell of white bones and toxins, he can learn it, and the lack of years of penance can be made up by the skill points provided by the hunter system.

The question now is that there is only one skill point, which system should you choose to strengthen yourself.

(Kate Bryan has the most in-depth study of the bone summoning system, and he even has a certain understanding of the second-order bone summoning spells, especially when he replaced the clay stone spell slot with the three-headed dog of hell, if completed, Kate Brian, who has the three-headed dog of hell, can even sweep most first-order professionals, and has a bright future.) )

(The problem is, I only have a few skill points, the front spell slot of the three-headed dog spell slot, and the skeleton revival is also very good, but for me now, there is equal to nothing.) )

The skeleton revives and summons a skeleton warrior from among the corpses to fight the necromancer.

Many people believe that it is the most powerful necromancer summon of the necromancer, and the necromancer of the legendary realm can even use the skull ocean to storm the castle and destroy the legion, bringing the frenzy and fear of death to the world.

But that is the necromancer of the legendary realm, just like the warrior of the legendary realm of the earth plane, the essence of the soul has begun to sublimate, and the spell has truly become the power controlled by it, and it is no longer just a spell bit.

For low-level necromancers, revived skeleton warriors can also be very powerful, but that requires effort in material selection.

Many low-level necromancers are part-time tomb robbers, stealing corpses everywhere, that is, like collecting, extracting the strongest bones from those corpses, and then forming a powerful skeleton warrior together, the skeleton warrior made in this way can even be single-handedly with the same level of professional warriors, and has excellent potential, if you make two or three and successfully summon them, basically no low-level professional will be the opponent of the same level of necromancer.

But for Shi Yinghu now, he can't even find a complete corpse, this is the ancient snake castle, the snake cave, the gathering place of the necromancer, within this area, the corpse of a man in the prime of life is worth a gold coin, the corpse of the old man and the woman is worth five silver coins, and the corpse of a child is worth a silver coin.

Therefore, within the scope of the Ancient Serpent's Castle, it is difficult for low-level necromancers to have the opportunity to cast the basic housekeeping spell of "Skeleton Revival".

(I only have a few skill points right now, so I can only put this spell down for the time being.) Thinking about it, Shi Yinghu focused his attention on the initial spell of the curse system, "Damage Amplification", and the initial spells of the toxin and bone system, "Bone Armor" and "Bone Fang".

The initial spell damage of the curse system is amplified, which can reduce the physical defense of the recipient by half, which means that even if you are originally wearing iron armor, but under the effect of this spell, the iron armor is directly no different from the wooden plate armor, and the original weight for the recipient is not the same.

Although there are many abilities to break this spell, low-level creatures in the lower plane have no reason and wisdom at all, so there are more opponents who can't break this spell, which is a very valuable ability.

The initial spells of the toxin and bone system, "White Bone Armor" and "White Bone Fang", both of which are defended and attacked, can create three white bone shields that rotate continuously with the caster as the center, and these three shields can absorb a large amount of damage caused by the enemy to the necromancer, which can be said to be the most important self-protection spell for low-level necromancers.

Many necromancers, even if they don't major in the toxin and bone systems, will choose to cultivate the white bone armor, and even cultivate to a very high level.

Because there is only one life for oneself, especially for the fledgling low-level necromancer, it is inevitable that there will be times when he accidentally misses his hand, a bullet, a throwing gun, or even a primitive person's blow arrow, the vitality of the necromancer is often not strong, and if he suffers it, he may be hung up on the spot, and after casting the white bone armor for himself, such a danger will be eliminated, at least he will not die in vain.

The White Bone Fang is a ranged offensive spell in which the necromancer summons a sharp and penetrating bone tooth to attack the opponent.

The actual combat effect, just like a group of ordinary people, one person has a pistol in his hand, and with the increase of the cultivation level of the White Bone Fang, the single pistol will also be advanced into a large range of shotguns, and when the spell level is high, the damage that the White Bone Fang can cause will be considerable.

Of course, with the development of the times and the advancement of technology, more and more low-level professionals began to wear body armor and use firearms.

Wearing body armor, using powerful and even silver bullets and firearms, a few months of training can be worth years of penance, in the world of witchers, there are more and more such witchers, but at the same time, they are also despised and even suppressed by high-level witchers.

Because many high-level demon hunters with old qualifications feel that using and relying on this kind of technological weapon, young people will no longer concentrate on cultivating their own abilities, just like in the previous dimensional world, on the earth, many older generation of martial artists are very disgusted with the use of guns by martial artists, and the use of guns by martial artists is indeed a surge in combat power, but it will indeed affect the future development potential.

In the world of pure scientific and technological civilization, of course, people in the world will think that science and technology are the only truth in the universe, but Shi Yinghu has seen martial arts civilization, Shinto civilization, scientific and technological civilization, and even the current magic civilization.

Damage amplification can improve his damage output ability, bone armor can improve his self-protection ability, and Bone Fang Stone Yinghu is not interested, he would rather use firearms than invest too much time and energy in this low-level offensive necromancy.

(Choose Damage Deepening or Bone Armor?, the advantage of choosing Bone Armor is that your self-protection ability is improved, and for the opponent it is nothing more than a matter of slashing two more swords...... But with my ability, can I still be attacked and defended by the sword when facing low-level monsters?) Shi Yinghu is a somewhat arrogant person, after thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and pointed a little skill point in the hunter system on the damage of the necromantic curse system.

With the different planes of the world, the manifestation of the power of the Shenwu system is also different, and there are changes in adaptation.

In the earth plane, the power of the system is mainly to receive the martial arts knowledge of the equal plane of the multiverse, and in this world, the power of the system is more inclined to be directly converted into the booster force of the host, after all, Shi Yinghu has been promoted to the fifth version of the 80-level system, and now although the power of the Shenwu system has been exhausted, some essential improvements are still retained.

Under the ancient tree, as Shi Yinghu's mind condensed, a faint blue and bright color gradually lit up, and centered on his forehead and eyebrows, spreading to his body like waves after waves.

That bit of skill point turned into a stream of spiritual energy, impacting the spiritual meridian system in Kaishi Yinghu's understanding, and in a very short period of time, solidified the rune imprint that most mages would take months or even years to solidify to complete.

When Shi Yinghu, who had been sitting on the tree all night, opened his eyes again, he stretched his palm forward, his spirit condensed, and the five-finger void outlined the magic seal, and then, a small patch of orange-red color fell on the grass, dotted: necromancy, damage deepening, learned.

"Whew...... Prerequisite knowledge, tricks, spiritual condensation, this spell is not easier to learn than martial arts, I hope that the future development prospects will not be inferior to martial arts. ”

Earth, still have to go back. As far as Shi Yinghu is concerned, his family, relatives, wife, and apprentices are all in that world, so he must go back in the future, and his family is over there, but it is true that he is here to save his life first, and the world in front of him is confused for him, full of unknowns and dangers.

Shi Yinghu has gone through the plane war, the civilization war, and knows such a thing as plane repulsion. Therefore, before gaining enough self-protection ability, Gou must be able to survive, and would rather hide in the shadows and squat for more than ten or twenty years to accumulate strength, rather than waste his life.

Again, the Shenwu system no longer has the ability to protect its soul to cross again.
