001 164,250 Magic Frogs
In a wet cave.
Shallow sunlight refracted through the cracks in the rocks and fell on a moss-covered stone.
Buzz!
A daring schistosome mosquito is waving its wings and swaggering through the market.
It didn't know what ruthless hunter it was facing.
Sou!
The forked tongue pops out quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it reels this delicious mosquito into its belly.
It was a young thunder-attribute demon blast frog.
Unfortunately, it also didn't know what kind of cunning and patient hunter it was up against—
Call!
A sudden wind sounded.
The special frog net came in an instant, and it was held in place, no matter how much it struggled, it was in vain.
The long-dormant hunter skillfully pulled out a lightly rusty dagger and mercilessly ended the life of the Demon Blaster Frog.
……
"You killed 1 Demon Explosion Frog, a total of 164,250 Demon Explosion Frogs have been killed, and your milestone - Yuntai Mountain Frog Hunter has set a new record."
"You gained 1 XP"
"Your Spell Resistance has been slightly increased."
"Increases your Spell Resistance to 100% (no more)"
"You have completed the first Mark of Sin and have earned the Specialty: Ten Years of Sword"
……
"It's been ten years."
"Finally getting a little stronger."
In the cave, Roger sighed softly.
However, he did not linger in this mood for long, and after skillfully cleaning up the corpse of the Demon Blaster Frog, he followed the path of his memory and exited the cave area quickly and cautiously.
In this dark and damp place, he is not at the top of the food chain; As a Demon Exploding Frog Hunter, he may be just a slightly stronger prey in the eyes of other monsters.
Ten minutes later. The foothills of Yuntai Mountain.
Walk on the grassy gravel path.
Roger couldn't help but squint at the midday sun—as dazzling as he remembered.
"How long has it been since I've seen such a blazing sun?"
There was an inexplicable touch in his heart.
It's been ten years!
In the past ten years, he has been accompanied by the Demon Explosion Frog every day:
At dawn, it is dark and goes up the mountain to catch frogs;
At dusk, he returned to the moon and went home to sleep.
His long-term cave activities have given him "dim vision".
But correspondingly, when he was bathed in the sun for the first time in a long time, the system prompted him to receive a "bright light punishment".
This represents a slight dizziness and a temporary loss of vision.
Thankfully, he's done all his work today and is on his way home.
In Roger's mind, the path down the mountain should not be dangerous.
"You can't be careless at any time."
"The world is too dangerous......"
Thinking like this, Roger quietly opened Xia Yin's professional specialty "Qi Hope Technique".
"Qi Hunting (1 Ring Specialty): Can avoid evil and seek good fortune, and can inspect friend and foe"
"Consumes 2 HP and 2 Energy per minute when activated"
……
If God could have told Roger in advance that downloading that strange class mod would cause him to cross, then he wouldn't be cheap.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
Roger is a young Internet addict who started playing games when he was a child, and he has been playing for more than 20 years.
In the period before the crossing, he was playing an unpopular DND-like game.
As a classic representative of "people's food addiction", Roger was very naturally stuck in the first level.
For an entire week, he spent battling the boss of the end of the level, a cunning mage lord.
The end result was ninety-nine throws of armor.
To do this, he had to be opportunistic.
As a result, when he was looking for modifiers on the Internet, he found a professional mod made and uploaded by netizens.
It was a class called "Hidden Heroes".
Roger liked it at first sight.
"Xia Yin" is a handsome profession designed based on ancient Chinese chivalry and Western-style fantasy rangers.
On top of that, this class comes with super high magic resistance.
The maker claims on the message board that he hates mages.
The profession of Xia Yin is designed to be a mage.
It just so happened that Roger had just been abused by the Mage Lord for a week, and he was simply overjoyed to see this profession.
He couldn't wait to hit download.
And then it crossed.
……
"Basic Information: Roger 24-Year-Old Human Male Professional Hero Hidden LV5"
"Attributes: Strength 9 Constitution 9 Agility 11 Perception 12 Intelligence 11 Charisma 9 "
"Specialty: Steady/Wangqi Technique/Hidden in the City/Light as a Swallow/Ten Years of Sword (New)"
"Skill (Life): 49 Herb Gathering, 49 Climbing, 49 Peeling, 25 Wild Survival, 20 ......"
"Skill (Combat): Hiding 49 Surprise Attack 49 Hidden Weapon Mastery 49 Moving Like a Rabbit 49 Domesticated Animals 49 ......"
"Special: Guilty Mark/Killing Order"
"Resistance: Magic Resistance 100% ......"
……
An hour later.
Roger sat comfortably on the couch in his cottage, looking at the properties panel.
"The first mark of sin has finally been obtained."
"Spell resistance is full; The attributes of the new specialty are also not bad. ”
……
"Ten Years of Sword (1 Ring Specialty): Every time you fight, your first three attacks come with a four-stack 'Momentum' trait."
"Momentum: Increases the power of moves by 100% per stack"
……
A satisfied smile appeared on Roger's face.
This is an affirmation of his ten years of hard work.
Ten years ago, he traveled to this planet called "Mystra".
There are no long things, only the class mod of "Xia Yin".
After learning about the world from the old man of the town, he admonished himself:
Don't wave, be steady!
There are two main reasons for this:
First, it's because Roger is very self-aware.
This world is somewhat similar to the game world.
And he knows very well that in the world of gaming, he is undoubtedly a rookie!
It's impossible to have another career template because of the crossing, and the rookie will become a high-level game.
The kind of drama of flipping the table and killing as soon as you cross over is better to leave it to someone else to operate.
The dish is to be cowardly.
Slowly developing and accumulating hole cards is the king.
So every time someone invites Roger to go on an adventure, his response is:
"Next time."
"I'm not going."
"I'm not very strong......"
……
Second, it's because the world is very dangerous!
According to the creation myth that is prevalent in Tongma, the world is made up of nine planets.
The youngest of them was Roger's "Mystra".
Mystra had a very glorious civilization, but that was a thing of the past.
It is rumored that it was the creatures of the land that angered the gods.
The enraged gods bombarded Mystra with a nineteen-ring spell for three days and three nights.
High-rise buildings razed to the ground.
Fertile land turned into desert.
What's even more terrifying.
Those who survived the Holocaust were horrified to discover that the aftermath of the Nineteen Rings spell explosion had been floating over Mystra all the time - a vast amount of lingering wild magic turned into a curse.
Under the radiation of magic power, more and more people or beasts have become monsters.
Of course, there are also people who benefit from the intensification of magic.
They are the emerging adventurers of the Wasteland era of Mystra.
But compared to the horrors that breed in the shadows, humanity is so small.
There are very few adventurers who traveled with Roger ten years ago who are still active in Tongma Town.
About 1 in 10 of them have gone to the more magically rich South in search of opportunities.
The rest, Roger did not want to recall.
May they rest in peace.
……
Now it seems that Roger made the right choice.
Through hard work day after day, he finally became a little stronger, and truly had the ability to get out of Tongma Town.
Of course, there was another reason why he stayed in the novice village for ten years.
This is related to the profession of "Heroic Hide":
As a chivalrous hermitage, Roger doesn't have particularly outstanding attributes.
All six of his attributes are just one drop above the average Mystra (9 points on average), and slightly inferior to adventurers.
Xia Yin's skill set is ordinary, and his expertise is also distinctive.
Only special abilities are eye-catching.
"Xia Yin" initially comes with two special abilities, which are "Evil Mark" and "Killing Order".
It was the former who forced Roger to become the predator of the Demon Bomb Frog.
……
"Mark of Sin: You can choose to lock the Mark of Sin on a type of monster and gain an excess attribute bonus by continuously killing that type of monster."
……
For example, the attribute bonus that the Demon Blaster Frog brings to him is an increase in spell resistance.
In the process of killing monsters, the mark of sin will accumulate on a progress bar.
When the progress bar is full.
"Hidden Heroes" will be rewarded with a special specialty.
Correspondingly, he was no longer able to get attributes from this kind of monster.
It is commonly known as "graduation".
After obtaining this special ability, Roger tried some of the common little monsters around Tongma Town:
Kill the Yellow Wind Rabbit and improve your hearing.
Kill bush elves and increase X ability.
Kill the little goblin and increase the affinity of the earth element.
……
To be honest, they're all useless attributes.
Until one time.
He dropped the mark on a young and ignorant demon bomber frog while collecting the medicine.
The story of the frog hunters of Yuntai Mountain began......
The initial spell resistance of the Hidden Class is 40%.
Ten years as a froghunter has allowed Roger to farm 100% of his spell resistance-
If one day he accidentally becomes a killer, the 164,250 Demon Explosion Frogs must be fully responsible.
……
Now, Roger, who has completed the first mark of sin, is relaxed.
He knew that the accumulation of the past ten years was enough for him to get out of Tongma Town.
He lay on the bed and used the "Qi Looking" technique to calculate a hexagram for himself.
Hexagram display.
Tomorrow is auspicious, it is good to travel, and it is good to kill the enemy.
……
Early the next morning.
The Lord's Mansion of Tongma Town.
Roger floated up alone and tore off the bounty order that had been hanging for three years.
"Corpse demon, I'm here."
He was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by two tall guards.
……
