Chapter 88: A New Beginning
Along the way, after a large number of monsters and players, I ignore rabbits, chickens, wild cats, elk, these animals, a number of players who fight these small monsters are too many to fight monsters must be robbed, so killing monsters is pitifully slow; Second, with my attribute advantage, if I still waste time here, it will be worth the loss. So, I set my sights on the strongest animal in the novice village, the sand wolf.
"Sand wolf" is the highest-level animal in the novice village, with a level of 12, an attack of 50, a defense of 100, a speed of 12, and a health of 500; "Sand Wolf" Boss, Novice Village Boss, Level 15, Attack 60, Defense 120, Speed 18, Health 900. This monster is in a valley not far from the novice village.
I walked quickly through a grove to the small valley. According to the website, it is the territory of the "sand wolf". Approaching the valley mouth, I saw two gray "sand wolves" wandering there. These two "sand wolves" looked very majestic, at least one size bigger than the wolves I had seen in real life.
Compare the property values of both sides:
Me, Health: 280, Attack: 18, Defense: 28, Speed: 14;
And "Sand Wolf", Health: 500, Attack: 50, Defense: 100, Speed: 12
It's not impossible to win, but the opponent has two, which makes it very troublesome. I decided to use the method in the previous game, after all, the "sand wolf" is just an NPC, even if it has a certain intelligence as said on the Internet, but it does not have the logical judgment ability of humans. As long as I lure one over, with my speed, I can slowly consume its life. This is also the most common and the safest way to do this.
With my quick speed, I rushed towards one of the "sand wolves" and immediately retreated when the "sand wolf" reacted. Sure enough, this "sand wolf" noticed my presence and began to run towards me, while the other, who was far away, only turned its head in my direction but did not chase after me, which made my heart happy.
I retreated with all my might, and after about three or four seconds, the "sand wolf" that was far away also reacted, and chased after me after the "sand wolf" in front of me, and the distance between the two was about seven or eight meters. The chase began, and I turned left and right in the woods, occasionally swinging a sword at the "sand wolf" that was following my ass; Coupled with the blocking of trees, the agility of the "sand wolf" did not work at all, and after such a long time, there was only one "sand wolf" left behind me.
Looking at the already scarred "sand wolf" behind me, I suddenly made a sharp stop, and the wooden sword in my hand stabbed backwards, and the strength of my hand and the inertia of the "sand wolf" running made the wooden sword accurately pierce the left eye of the "sand wolf". At the same time, a pleasant system prompt sounds: the player successfully hits the weak point of the "Sand Wolf", and the "Sand Wolf" loses 79 lives.
Even though I had been ready to dodge the sand wolf's attack, the badly injured sand wolf was furious and didn't care about the injury, and my left arm grazed the sharp claws of the sand wolf, and the system prompted: The player was attacked by the "sand wolf" and lost 27 lives.
After such a time, I didn't dare to be careless, and concentrated on attacking the right eye and soft abdomen of the "sand wolf" while the body kept moving, and the body prompt kept ringing:
"The player successfully hits 'Sand Wolf', and 'Sand Wolf' loses 20 lives."
"The player successfully hits the weakness of 'Sand Wolf', and 'Sand Wolf' loses 81 lives."
"The player successfully hits the 'Sand Wolf', and the 'Sand Wolf' loses 47 lives."
……
After seven or eight minutes, the "Sand Wolf" finally died with a crisp sound: "The player successfully crosses the level and kills the 'Sand Wolf', gaining 320 experience and increasing the level by 2." "Here 320 = 100× (1 + 20× 11\/100) = 100 + 220
Level up 2, I gain four attribute points, 2 for agility, 1 for stamina, and 1 for strength. So now my properties are:
Name: Ink
Occupation: Civilian
Rating: 3 (20/400)
Health: 300, Attack: 20+3, Defense: 30+3
Strength: 10, Dexterity: 9, Stamina: 15; Perception: hidden, charm: hidden, lucky: hidden;
Mana: 0, Internal Force: 0, Weight: 4\/150, Speed: 18; Hunger: 3, Reputation: 10Gang: None
This harvest is very good, not only has the character been promoted by two levels, but this "sand wolf" has also generously given me a wolf skin and 5 silver coins. I was overjoyed, and I returned to Taniguchi again, aiming at the remaining "sand wolf" that had already returned to Taniguchi.
It took me a day to get to level 10, and now I have no experience in killing monsters, and my reputation is pitifully low. In the middle, I went back to the novice village a few times, and asked the tailor to help me make a wolf skin suit out of wolf skin, and the wooden sword in my hand was also replaced with an iron sword. It's a pity that I didn't see the leader of the "sand wolf" for a whole morning, otherwise the harvest would have been even greater.
But it's already making me happy. Looking at the players around me, except for a few who have already come to this valley, most of them are still fighting those little monsters, it seems that my advantage is already obvious, after all, the starting stat value is the highest thirty points.
Look at my current attributes, Strength: 15, Agility: 15, Stamina: 18. It's forty-eight o'clock.
The harvest is even better, in addition to 7 gold coins, 36 silver coins, and 178 copper coins in my Qiankun ring, there are also a few wolf skins, which can be regarded as a small fortune. After sorting everything out and buying a few more mid-grade gold sore pills, I hurried to the teleportation array. Changing jobs is my number one priority now! After paying the teleportation fee for a gold coin, I successfully came to Pangu City. There are now 12 cities open in the Eastern Continent, and there are 36 novice villages around each city, and you must reach level 10 in order to get a job, and the location of the job is the city to which each novice village belongs. You can't leave the Newbie Village until level 10.
I had decided to work as a thief a long time ago, but when I asked about the "thief", I found that the basic skills of thieves were only "theft", "stealth", "reconnaissance", and "disguise", and there was no "trapping" as I had originally envisioned. In this way, if my attack is too low, I will not be able to gain an advantage over many players. On the contrary, at the old hunter's place, I found that the basic skills of the hunter are very good, in addition to the "trap technique" that I wanted the most, there are also four skills: "bow and arrow", "basic knife technique", "division technique" and "climbing technique".
"Trap technique", as the name suggests, makes traps to capture prey to kill monsters.
"Climbing", you can climb trees or cliffs to avoid monster damage.
"Segmentation" is the method of dividing animals into materials such as skin, flesh and bones.
"Archery" and "Basic Sword" are skills for long-range attack and melee combat, respectively, so it can be said that the Hunter class is a combination of "Archer" and "Swordsman", and with the addition of "Trap", it is really an ideal profession in my mind.
It's not for nothing that I value "trapping" the most. Since I'm a pro gamer, the first thing I think about is how to kill as many monsters as I can, get equipment, and sell it for money. I rarely partner with people in the game, and the "Trap Technique" makes up for this by killing monsters on a large scale, and now with the ranged attack and melee abilities, the hunter class is very comprehensive; Of course, the inevitable result of the whole situation is that it is slightly weaker than the individual profession in all aspects. As a result, it becomes very difficult to level up and improve your skills.
But now my level and attribute values are a lot higher than others, which is an obvious advantage. As long as I make good use of this advantage, I have every confidence that my hunter role will not be worse than other characters in the future.
"Player Ink, have you decided to take up the job of Hunter?" The old hunter asked.
"Yes." I replied immediately, slightly excited, not knowing what the situation would be like when I was going to get married.
I saw the old hunter wave his right hand, and a dark green ball of light sank into my body, and a cool feeling permeated my body, and then left an image of a hunter with a bow and arrow on his back and a mountain knife in his hand.
At the same time, the system prompts: Congratulations to the player for the inauguration of the ink hunter. Since the player's ink is the first to take office, the system rewards a piece of gold equipment with +500 reputation.
Wow! Get rich! Gold Gear Yay!
The equipment in "Dominating the World" is also graded, divided into bronze equipment, silver equipment, gold equipment, dark gold equipment, immortal weapons and artifacts. For example, the "sand wolf skin armor" in the wolf skin suit I wore belonged to bronze equipment, and it was dark cyan in color.
I couldn't wait to open the "Qiankun Ring" and found that there was an extra golden hunting bow in it, which had not been identified, its attributes could not be seen, and it did not even have a name, which made me very depressed. It's like a myriad of treasures in front of you but you can't see them for what they really are, because they're all locked in a treasure chest, and you can't do anything about it.
After thinking about it for a while, I immediately ran to the appraisal hall and took this gold equipment to the "appraiser" for appraisal.
A middle-aged "appraiser" who looked like a scholar and a little fairy wind bone, glanced at the golden hunting bow, his eyes lit up but immediately closed again, slowly stretched out 4 fingers, and said: "Appraisal fee, 400 gold coins"
"Holy! Grab money, you" I couldn't help but blurt out when I heard this price. 400 gold coins, all the property on my body adds up to a dozen gold coins, and this guy actually wants me 400 gold coins. Isn't this a money grab? According to his price, I really don't know that this equipment can be identified in the Year of the Monkey.
"It's not expensive at all." "Appraiser" the old god said on the ground: "This still depends on the 5% discount that I gave you from my first business." You don't want to identify, and I don't force it. Then he closed his eyes again.
I was so angry that I had nothing to say. 50% off? In other words, the real appraisal fee is 800 gold coins, which is really staggering at such an expensive price. Gold equipment is of course worth a lot of money, and according to online information, the general appraisal fee is about 1% of the value of the item, so the gold hunting bow is worth at least 80,000 gold coins.
But now I don't have 400 gold coins, and the RMB exchange system has not yet been opened, so I can't exchange gold coins even if I have money. Of course, there is also a way to buy gold coins from players in yuan, but now that the game has just begun, no one wants to sell gold coins unless you pay a sky-high price. I was in a state of distress.
Seeing that I was calm and didn't speak, the "appraiser" said again: "I also know that you don't have any money now, so there is another way." ”
Listening to the "appraiser" ramble a lot, I finally knew what the other method was. It turned out that the "appraiser" had no big hobbies, only fine wine. The owner of the "World Pawnshop" in Pangu City has a kind of fine wine hidden privately, which is called: Snow Stream. As long as I bring him a pot of "Snow Stream Incense", then he will appraise this golden hunting bow for me for free.
At this time, a pleasant voice sounded: The player's ink triggers the task - to find a pot of snow stream incense for the "appraiser", and the reward is to identify a piece of gold equipment for free, do you accept it?
Of course I do. After clicking confirm, the system prompts again: the player's ink accepts the task for 15 days.
There are 15 days, but there is no hurry. Bidding farewell to the "appraiser", I went to the "Tianxia Medical Center" and "Tianxia Restaurant" to work as a physician and a chef respectively, and of course won the titles of "Physician Apprentice" and "Chef Apprentice".
This time, the system didn't give me an equipment reward, but just gave me an intermediate skill each.
Physician Apprenticeship Skills:
Harvesting, collecting plant materials.
Identifying herbs.
Alchemy, using herbs to refine elixir (a rewarded intermediate skill, a skill that can only be learned after advanced physicians).
Chef Apprenticeship Skills:
Barbecue, grilling meat and other foods.
Conditioning is the technique of mixing various foods together and preparing them into food in a utensil.
Medicinal Diet, which can be mixed with food and medicine, has a chance to produce a "Medicinal Diet" that permanently increases attribute points (a rewarded intermediate skill, which can only be learned after becoming an advanced chef).
I was overjoyed to see "alchemy". As long as I have "alchemy", I will save a lot of money in fighting monsters in the future. Like the primary gold sore medicine, it costs 50 copper coins to increase life by 60; Intermediate Gold Sore Medicine, 120 copper coins, increases health by 180; High-grade gold sore medicine, cost 3 silver coins a piece, increase life by 300. With a few gold coins in my hand, I don't even have enough money to buy medicine. Not only that, but I can also refine and sell medicines for money, which is definitely a money-making industry in the game, after all, everyone has the greatest demand for this kind of consumables.
Looking at the time, it was already evening in reality, and I hurried off the line. In reality, the nanny has already cooked a meal for me, she is a middle-aged aunt named Li Yuet'e, I heard that she is a laid-off worker. He is very diligent, and he is also specially recommended by the community housekeeping center. When I arrived at the restaurant, a sumptuous dinner was already on the table.
When it comes to eating, I've never treated myself badly since I had some extra money in my hands. I won't let the game affect my life and rest, so my body will definitely not be able to bear it in the future, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Aunt Li is only in charge of my three meals, and puts the prepared meals on the table on time every day, as for the rest, I handle the rest by myself, after all, I like to have my own space. After dinner, with a little rest, I entered "Dominating the World" again.
