Chapter 8: Those Things in the Novice Village (4)
Speaking of Gao Junwei, Cheng Zhi paused and continued: "According to my experience, in the game, the most profitable life professions are medicine picking, mining and cooking, and the secondary majors are forging and tailoring", he turned around and looked at Gao Junwei: "Brother Gao, what do you think?"
Gao Junwei smiled innocently and said: "Xiao Cheng, in the game, I am not as good as you, but I believe you, you show me the way, I listen to you!" β
"OK, then Brother Gao, you can choose herbal medicine, when we level up together, we can also help you brush up on introductory herbology by the way, as for the deputy profession," Cheng Zhi sighed slightly: "To be honest, alchemy is the most practical in the early stage of the game, but it is also the most difficult to improve in the late game, but at the moment, I can't think about it that far, then Brother Gao, the deputy major is alchemy." In a while, let's go to the herb shop and the alchemist to deliver something, you can remember the way by the way, and just come back and wait for level 5 to take the task. β
"As for the two of us, let's choose the deputy major together when the time comes", Cheng Zhi proposed, which was approved by Ma Chao and another big rookie, Chen Feng, and then the four of them rushed to the tailor shop non-stop.
After delivering the first tailor shop, he received the task of sending eight pieces of fabric to the old customer in the tailor shop, and then in the next six NPCs, Cheng Zhi and the four of them received six delivery tasks respectively, and instantly turned into four non-stop errand coolies.
After two hours, when the game time came to the afternoon, Cheng Zhi and the four of them finished all the tasks, and the eight tasks came down, and the experience points obtained just raised their level to level 3, and each task also contributed 20 copper coins, which made their respective total in-game personal assets break through single digits, to 1 silver coin and 60 copper coins.
In addition, each NPC also gave them a primary forging hammer, a rough iron embryo, a compass, a knife, cloth, leather, and a bottle of primary life instant return elixir and a primary mana instant return potion, the latter two things are particularly precious in Cheng Zhi's opinion, according to him, these two bottles of potions can be worth a life in the early game.
Then they followed Cheng Zhi and walked to the fountain in the center of the town to find the garrison military attachΓ©, it is said that the first monster fighting task that all novice players can receive is from the garrison military attache of the novice village and town.
In the distance, I saw next to the fountain in the center of the town, standing between two level 25 elite NPC guards, the strength of the level 30 NPC garrison military attache of the elite level is Lieutenant Kurt, this Mr. Ensign with a long sword on his waist and a profession that seems to be a warrior, facing many level 3 and 4 players like Cheng Zhi and others, who came to talk to trigger the task, tirelessly and tirelessly spittle.
Cheng Zhi and others stepped forward, still the same as before, Cheng Zhi stepped forward to demonstrate first, Cheng Zhi walked in front of Second Lieutenant Kurt, and his face was immediately full of smiles, that smile seemed to Ma Chao and others to be as fake as possible, but Second Lieutenant Kurt probably wouldn't care.
"Good afternoon, sir, I'm a new adventurer, do you need any help?"
"Well, hello, adventurer, you look very energetic, a good guy, although you are still very weak, but you barely meet my requirements, as you said, I do need help," this officer, who had just had a vulgar smile on his face, changed into a businesslike poker face in the next moment, and the speed of changing his face was also astonishing, he changed his words and continued: "You know, although the imperial border is calm, the spies and small forces of the demon clan will still harass our small and large towns in the hinterland, So we had to constantly send troops to the front line to stabilize the defensive line, but this also led to the lack of garrison strength in our towns, and I used my limited forces to maintain the safety of the towns for the sake of the safety of the towns, but the rest of the chores were... The poker-faced officer had a "I'm embarrassed" expression on his face.
Cheng Zhixuan understood in seconds, and he also "changed" a solemn expression of righteousness and obligation, and said: "If you have any miscellaneous matters, you can leave them to me with confidence, although I am weak, I am also willing to contribute to the empire." β
Second Lieutenant Kurt immediately smiled when he heard this, he patted Cheng Zhi's shoulder vigorously, and said, "Good job, young man, you are good job," and then began to issue a mission: "The military food in the town is not enough, although the food is sufficient, but you know... He put on a "I'm embarrassed" expression again, as if he was really embarrassed and said, "The soldiers need nutritious meat, so can you go and catch 20 hares in the woodland on the west side of the village?" If the meat of those fat hares can be grilled into steaks, it will definitely make up for the nutritional needs of the soldiers", said the second lieutenant, whose face was like a gourmand in the market.
"Ding! Second Lieutenant Cote, the military attache of the Blackwater garrison, wants you to go to the woods to the west and bring back 20 servings of fat hare meat, will you accept it? β
"Accept!"
"Objective: Hunt 20 hares and get 20 servings of fat rabbit meat."
"Mission Tip: If you pay attention, you can complete it quickly!"
Cheng Zhi saluted Second Lieutenant Kurt and said goodbye, and then waited for his roommates to take over the task together before walking to a woodland on the west side of the village of Heishui Town.
While walking, Cheng Zhi continued to instill basic game knowledge: "Tasks like this, basically average difficulty, no dangerous tasks, but usually such tasks have nothing to speak of, you should take it as the first practice of fighting monsters, now, take a good look at their respective skills, and familiarize yourself with the effects of familiar skills." β
While saying this, Cheng Zhi opened his skill bar and calmed down to study his skills for the first time.
Before the first class change at level 10, there were only two skills in the skill column of the Scholar class, in addition to the common skill "Perception", which is common to all classes:
[Electromagnetic Wave]: Skill Level 1, Skill Effect: Emits a cloud of electromagnetic waves, causing 17~22 points of non-attribute damage, skill instantaneous, cooldown time of 5 seconds, and cast range of 30 yards.
[Overload]: Skill Level 1, Passive Skill Effect: Every 4 times you use the skill, you will get the "Overload" skill effect, which strengthens the damage of the next skill by 100%, with a delay damage of 10 magic damage per second that lasts for 3 seconds, and causes the "Leakage" debuff that reduces the target's movement speed/attack speed by 5%.
Including the first time I saw a post from a player on the game forum on the official website, Cheng Zhi would have a sense of irony every time he looked at the career introduction and skill introduction of the scholar and his four branches - because "Holy Demon" is essentially a very typical online game with a Western magical world view as the background, but in this kind of place where "scientific truth" is not taught, you can see very scientific elements such as "electromagnetism" and "overload", which will always make people feel a very absurd mood.
There is no doubt that before the transfer, the characteristics of the scholar's profession were very similar to the traditional mage profession, so Cheng Zhi began to analyze the only two skills at hand with the idea of the mage profession.
As the only active skill, [Electromagnetic Wave] is the only means of output, and the advantage of instantaneous skill makes it have a strong first-mover nature, and the damage characteristics of no attribute can make it face the same situation when facing the two defensive attributes of armor and natural resistance; The disadvantage is that the 5-second cooldown does not make it very capable of sustaining combat, and during the 5-second skill cooldown, it lacks excessive and cohesive attack means.
[Overload] as a passive skill, it can strengthen the damage of the next skill by 100% after every four skill casts, which is equivalent to doubling the damage, and the fixed will cause a 30-point delay magic damage, and it will also cause the negative effect of "leakage" to the target, which not only strengthens a certain output, but also has a certain soft control, and considering that other output skills will be obtained in the future, the skill effect of [Overload] can be shared, which shows that this profession has an innate advantage that can grow.
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhi is more looking forward to the follow-up skills and development direction of this profession.
