Chapter 49: Think Twice
The next hints are not too important, mainly after leaving the quest world and returning to the white space.
There is both a message that prompts him to fully repair and use 250 points, and a message that tells him the remaining time to stay in the white space, and he doesn't care too much about the former, because now his points have reached 30,000......
No, it's more than 45,000 points, because there are double rewards for killing important story characters, in addition to the reward for increasing the interference degree itself, there is also a reward for killing alone.
And the reward for the kill of the combined monster is to directly give him 5 free attribute points and 15,000 points, which is quite satisfactory compared to the risk taken.
Xia Ran didn't rush to add more points, but looked at the remaining detention time again, and found that there were still more than three hours, which means that he slept directly for more than eight hours from the previous sleep...... Because it is said that after returning from the mission, there is a 12-hour white space stay time.
Since there is still enough time, he is not in a hurry to log out and return to the real world, but continues to count his gains and losses.
The grenade launcher was lost, and because of the recoil shock, Xia Ran got rid of it at the last moment, after all, he was in a very bad state at the time, and his physical strength was lost very quickly.
And because he would return immediately, he didn't have time to care about that thing, but found a way to retrieve the key that the boss dropped after dying on the spot.
It is worth mentioning that probably because it was fired at too close range, the ammunition did not explode...... But it wasn't a big problem, after all, at that time, Xia Ran stabbed the muzzle of the gun directly into that hideous hole, and attacked against the enemy's beating human heart.
Even at the time, he didn't know whether he pulled the trigger first, or if he stabbed the grenade launcher like a sword with all his might.
Anyway, for such a fragile organ as the human heart, it was a fatal blow, and this didn't matter, the important thing was that he killed the combined monster that was already on the verge of collapse, and this was the result.
And I lost a standard weapon that can be exchanged for back casually, and I got back a key dropped by the boss, which is a big profit no matter how you look at it......
Xia Ran didn't care about this matter, and he didn't think he would have any feelings about a grenade launcher that had been used for a month or two.
More than 45,000 points, five unallocated free attribute points, three unused keys, one B-rank causal crystal, two C-level causal crystals, and one D-class causal crystal......
This is Xia Ran's harvest this time, not counting the attributes and skills that have been improved and strengthened before, as well as the left hand of the alienated parasitic beast. Personally, he thinks that this harvest should be considered very good.
Next, it should be a matter of course for the strengthening link, but he hasn't thought about how to plan his own strengthening direction and build his own ability system, and he doesn't plan to make a decision just by patting his head so rashly.
He walked over to the lone wooden door and reached out to hold the doorknob.
"You are applying for access to the public area, 100 points will be automatically deducted, is that confirmation?" That loud voice rang out.
“…… Confirm. ”
A second later, Xia Ran turned the doorknob, which could not be turned, and pulled open the tightly closed wooden door.
Behind the gate is a huge square, surrounded by many buildings of different styles, and oval revolving light doors, in which many people come and go, and many people walk around the square.
He didn't make any mental preparation, he stepped directly into it, and the next moment, he appeared on the edge of that square.
Looking back, he found that there was no wooden door behind him, only a light door, and when he tried to walk back, the white space prompted whether to return to the personal area and end the access.
Of course Xia Ran wouldn't go back like this, he turned around and looked at the square in front of him, and then he didn't know why, as if he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then reached out and took off his glasses a little strangely.
He hadn't looked carefully before, but now he realized that his vision was a little blurry while wearing glasses, and after taking off his glasses, the scene in his field of vision became clearer. This change made his expression, which had long been accustomed to a little myopia, a little subtle.
"Surprised? Although the white space costs money for death, there is still nothing to say about the service, a comprehensive repair is a comprehensive repair, not only the injuries you brought back in the mission world, but also the hidden injuries left by your previous body will be directly removed...... It's the same with myopia, it's adjusted according to your theory of the most perfect state. ”
A pleasant voice came from the side, Xia Ran subconsciously raised her eyes, only to see a slender and tall woman walking towards her.
But the strange thing is that I can't fully see the other person's face, although I know that the other party is a beautiful woman, but I just can't see the details.
And the other people around him seemed to be the same, as if their faces were covered with a hazy mist. Xia Ran was puzzled at first, but then he understood that this was probably a privacy mechanism in the white space.
"It never came out, I thought you were dead in the mission world, but the portal in your personal area didn't disappear......"
The slender woman walked up to him and seemed to look him up and down for a moment.
"If it wasn't for the fact that after the return, it was immediately offline, it is estimated that the process of returning to time was very thrilling, causing you to rest until now before waking up? It's not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen......"
“……”
“……”
"That...... Who are you? Do we know each other? Xia Ran's expression was strange, why is this person so familiar? It can't be the wrong person, right?
"Who do you say I am?" The woman opposite seemed to be unable to help but roll her eyes, "You are a budding newcomer who has just turned positive, can anyone else know you?" ”
"Wait...... It's you? ”
Xia Ran's thoughts turned, and it suddenly dawned on him, he quickly locked on the only suspicious target, that is, the guide he had before.
"Of course it's me, but your memory is not good, and you forgot it so quickly......"
"I'm sorry I can't remember! But tell me how the pixel art was remembered and corresponded to at this time! ”
The corners of Xia Ran's mouth twitched, he didn't think that the vague human form at the beginning could be connected with the person in front of him.
"Complaining about the forbidden, I'm just here to see if you're still alive, after all, it's the first newcomer I guided......"
The woman clasped her arms over her chest and squinted at him.
"But surviving the first official mission is not something to be proud of, you can only say that you have passed the assessment, but you are only qualified...... This is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go! ”
She seems to be happy because the first newcomer to guide has successfully survived, so she behaves in a state of flux.
Xia Ran's heart suddenly moved, and he habitually raised his hand to push his glasses, but he pushed it empty: "That...... What is my sister called? ”
"Don't come to the close, who is your sister...... Just ask any questions, I'm in a good mood right now. The woman waved her hand.
"Well, I'd like to ask about what I should do now, and you said I'm just a newcomer who has just turned regular, and I don't have a clue right now."
Xia Ran didn't get entangled, he simply went straight to the point, he now needed the experience of such an old-timer.
Of course, I think so, but I definitely can't call it an old-timer directly, and no woman likes to be said to be old, this is the reason that the Chinese language teacher Hiratsuka Jing taught him through words and deeds.
"This proposition is a bit broad, let's talk about what you have strengthened since your return." The woman asked.
"Haven't ......started yet," Xia Ran replied seriously.
"Huh? Can you actually endure it? This is not bad, many newcomers can't help it at all, and they toss it happily as soon as they come back. ”
The woman seemed to be a little interested at this moment, and looked him up and down.
"It's not that I can't understand them, after all, generally speaking, it is difficult for newcomers to gain any power in the first mission world, at most, it is to strengthen a few attributes, and finally bring some capital back, so naturally I can't help but squander it...... But also wasted their real first start-up capital that could have been done better. ”
Xia Ran listened very carefully, blinked his eyes, and thought about his own situation, whether he didn't gain any strength in the first mission world.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, I can't give a detailed plan for this problem, let you choose what specific things, I can only give a suggestion, that is, first figure out your current strengths, and see which area you have more advantages in......"
The woman waved her hand vigorously and said cautiously.
"Then invest resources in a targeted manner, prioritize strengthening your strengths, and then find ways to make up for your shortcomings...... Remember! The key is to make the strong aspects stronger, and the weak aspects not to lag behind, and never think about improving comprehensively from the beginning. ”
"If you spread the resources too far, throw a little here, throw a little there, and continue to throw a little other place, the result is likely to be that you are better than normal people in all aspects, but you have not reached a particularly outstanding level, and on the whole, it is actually equivalent to no change......
In other words, is it necessary to distinguish between priority and priority?
Xia Ran nodded thoughtfully, unless the problem of limited resources can not be considered, otherwise, comprehensive improvement in the early stage means mediocre development, everything will be at all, and he will not be proficient in anything.
What to do, what's not to do, drag the first place.
"By the way, what is your highest stat right now?" At this time, the woman asked with interest.
"Spirit."
Xia Ran had no intention of hiding it, after all, there was no conflict of interest between them, and there was no need to live so carefully, treating everyone as imaginary enemies, and no one believed it.
If that's the case, what else is he going to do, his cat is in his own personal area, and he just tosses according to his own ideas.
"Spirit? A lot ahead of other attributes? ”
"A lot."
Xia Ran thought for a while, and it seemed that his spiritual attribute had reached 25 points, and his slightly inferior agility attribute was only 12 points, which was more than double the difference.
"Since that's the case, then you have to be prepared, but compared to melee positioning, the early stage of the legal line's route is more troublesome, and the most taboo is short-handedness, and once you are close, you have no ability to protect yourself......"
The woman groaned for a moment and said.
"You'd better make sure you've thought about that or just team up with people. As for the specific choice, you can directly look at the recommendations given to you by the space, which are generally the most suitable results for the moment after its calculations. ”
"Really? Then I'll take a look at ...... first."
Xia Ran smiled, put his glasses back on, and said in a kind manner.
Immediately after, he directly called out his personal terminal page, and found that in the exchange list, there was indeed an additional sub-page, and after opening it, the first item in it directly met his eyes-
"λ-DRIVER System"
