Volume 1: The Second Coming (Remastered) Chapter 5: Amazing Login Bonus (2)

Once you've finished choosing your faction and race, it's time to claim your rewards.

Yu Bin had already made a plan for himself, and the reason why he chose the undead was because in addition to the racial bonus on the attribute points, there were also racial specialties.

Racial perks are not communicated to the player through system prompts, and can only be learned by constantly groping around.

Humans are the most average race, there are no advantages and no disadvantages, and only the spirit has added a little bit to the addition of attribute points. In terms of racial expertise, human beings also have certain bonuses in diplomacy, construction, and learning.

Elves focus on the bonus of spirit and agility, of which agility is a full 3 points, which can be called the first of all races, and there are also good bonuses in terms of affinity. In terms of racial specialties, there are certain bonuses in natural spells, herbs, beast taming, etc.

Demons are the most extreme race, and these flaming destroyers have a decent bonus in strength and physique. In terms of race specialty, it's fire spells, fire resistance, etc., as long as it's related to fire, almost all have a bonus. In previous lives, there were also many people in this race who chose, and those who chose demons were almost all violent maniacs.

The undead focus on long-term development, in addition to the initial negative value in agility and a bit of a loss in terms of physique, good intellectual growth makes the necromancer the best among the casters of various races.

And the racial specialties of the undead, there are a total of 6.

[Will of the Dead] :(Passive) has a 20% chance to be immune to stun, charm, fear, hypnosis, and chaos effects, if not triggered, the actual effect of the above negative status effects will be reduced by 50% on the basis of soul judgment.

[Body of the Dead] :(passive) is completely immune to blindness, bleeding, and suffocation.

Shadow Resistance :(Passive) Reduces Shadow Damage taken by 2% (highest priority).

[Soul Vision] :(active) (instantaneous) can switch the observation method to soul vision.

[Touch of Sorrow] :(Passive) Attack (Normal Attack, Skill, Spell) has a 5% chance to deal [Tier +1]*(5 + [Tier +1]) extra soul damage to the target, and restore the corresponding amount of HP to the target.

[Corpse Eater] :(active) (instantaneous) devours corpses, regenerating 2% of health and mana per second for 10 seconds. Cooldown time 10 minutes.

Among these racial specialties, the one that Yu Bin values the most is the specialty of [Will of the Dead].

In previous lives, this racial perk was even considered by players to be the best of all racial perks.

After all, there is a 20% chance of being fully immune, and even if there is no immunity, it can reduce the actual effect by 50%, which greatly increases the survivability of undead players with this race's specialty. In the case that soul energy is precious, dying once less is equivalent to having a lot more time to move than others.

As for the "Soul Judgment" in [Will of the Dead], it must also be explained here.

In the game of Entagri, the various judgments can be roughly divided into three levels.

The lowest level of judgment is the judgment of various attributes. This kind of judgment is to simply compare the corresponding attributes of the two parties that make the judgment, and if the conditions are met, the judgment will be successful, otherwise the judgment will fail. Most of these judgments appear in various knockdowns, knocks, and destruction of items.

The higher-level judgment is the verification. When the number of points drawn is less than the value that needs to be verified, it means that the verification has failed, and the player must suffer the corresponding consequences, otherwise it means that the verification is successful. Most of these tests appear in various negative states such as vertigo, seduction, and fear. Since the system uses multi-sided dice instead of a fixed standard value to make a decision, many times, one player rolls a high number and that player is lucky enough to pass the decision, while the other is only sadly hit.

And the highest judgment is the soul judgment. Since the player enters Entagri through the soul, the soul judgment is a complete check of the player's soul strength, so as to obtain the result of passing the judgment or not. This kind of judgment, most of which appear in various high-level spells, especially death-related instant death spells, will almost always be judged once, or even many times on the player who has been hit, and as long as one of the judgments is unsuccessful, then no matter how much health the player has left, they can only obediently be deducted soul energy points, and honestly return to the graveyard to resurrect.

And the soul judgment, the root of which lies in the player's soul strength, if a player's soul strength is high enough, he can even withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of various instant death spells, and continue to fight monsters and upgrade like a nobody.

However, the soul strength is not static, when the player's soul energy is lost a lot, or the body is weak, etc., the soul strength will drop significantly, and the difficulty of soul judgment will also increase significantly.

Therefore, the practical significance of the [Undead Will] racial specialty is far more important than its literal "20% immunity".

Because this racial specialty involves soul determination, when an undead player receives damage such as stun and charm, it actually needs to do three layers of filtering.

The first layer is the filtering of [Undead Will]'s "20% immunity", don't look at the 20% chance is not high, in fact, the probability of actual triggering is still very good.

If the [Will of the Dead] is not triggered, then it will enter the second layer, which is the check, and the system will perform a shake point, and if it passes, then there will be no negative status.

And if the test fails, then there is a third layer, which is the soul judgment, on this level, when the player's soul strength is strong enough, then these negative states will not have any effect.

Of course, even if there are so many judgments, there will still be many black-faced Africans, and at this time, the last sentence of the [Will of the Dead] racial specialty, "The actual effect of the negative state is reduced by 50%", will take effect.

Therefore, wanting to stun, seduce, and fear an undead player, in a previous life, was considered a very boring behavior.

Because when you finally finish chanting and excitedly throw a group of fear at the opposite group of undead players, a large number of "immunity", "resistance" and "ineffective" hints often pop up above the heads of this group of shameless bone racks, even if an African black uncle is unfortunately hit, it is also halved by the fear time.

This kind of result can make the player who activates the skill vomit blood!

However, even though the undead have a very good growth and are very strong in their racial expertise, there are still very few people who choose the undead in their previous lives. In addition to the subconscious reluctance of humans to deal with a group of skeletons, the extremely low number of female undead players is also a major reason.

In addition, elves are the largest gathering place for female players because of their handsome appearance, therefore, in the first five years of the start of the game "Entagre", elves are almost a monopoly, after all, the conversion method of sister = flower protector = combat power is quite simple, how can a group of single animals in reality resist that large number of high-quality resources.

However, for Yu Bin, no matter how good the value added in the game is, it will eventually return to reality. When it comes to the "Day of World Change", after the start of the new world, players who choose humans are basically no good, and players who choose elves are left with a little more agility, after all, you can't expect to grow pointed ears overnight, and a round face is not a melon seed face. Those who choose demons have a little bit of strength and physique.

There are only undead, and since humans can't really turn into undead monsters like undead, the negative values of agility and constitution can be almost ignored, while the bonuses of strength and intelligence make it easier for the player to survive in reality.

To sum up, Yu Bin resolutely chose the bitter undead race.

How hard is it, you ask? According to the statistics before the "World Replacement Day" in the previous life, the number of players of the undead race did not exceed 10 million at its peak.

In 2025, the total human population will be nearly 10 billion, and after removing the old people who are too old and babies who are too young, almost eighty percent of human beings will be players of "New World", that is, six or seven billion players, and less than 10 million undead players, which is almost the lowest race among all races, isn't this a bitter force.

When other races fight, thousands of people come out to help, and undead players fight and can only bring a group of skeletons to the shelf. Therefore, in the previous life until the "Day of World Replacement", the undead race was an unknown race in the game "Entagre", and if it weren't for those high-level undead NPCs to support the beams, it is estimated that they would have been wiped out by the order camp long ago.

On the other hand, the elves with a large population, at their peak, had nearly two billion players, followed by humans, with a maximum of 1.5 billion, and these two shameless ones alone accounted for nearly half of the total number of players.

Although there are such and such shortcomings, in Yu Bin's opinion, the advantages of choosing the undead are also obvious.

The first is the game resources. Since the game has just begun, the player's influence on the entire "Entagre" game, or the continent of Entagre, is very small, and the right to decide the distribution of resources on the entire continent is in the hands of high-level NPCs, therefore, the undead, which is one of the four main races with human elves, is the same as humans and elves in terms of total game resources. The small number of undead players means that each undead player can occupy more game resources. With the same resources, elf players get two hundred points, but undead players can monopolize it, which is a two-hundred-fold development foundation, which is enough for Yu Bin to struggle for twenty years. This includes dungeons, quests, and rare classes for all races.

The second is unity, although the seven major tribes of the elven race all belong to the rule of the elven queen, there are still internal differences; There are twelve countries of mankind, and there are all kinds of intrigues and tricks between countries; The demons are even more chaotic, not to mention fighting with outsiders, and they are often in a mess inside.

On the other hand, on the side of the undead, there are three countries, one big, two small, and a total of three countries, plus the NPC of the undead is notoriously not caring about power, after all, they are all a group of old immortals who can't die, and they can even give up life and death, do they still care about that bit of power, so in the previous life until the "day of world replacement", Yu Bin has not heard of any major turmoil within the undead race, and this internal stability can allow Yu Bin to focus on external strategy.

Then there is the special racial characteristics of the undead, unlike other races, the troops usually have to spend materials to support, in case of death, they have to re-recruit, and the recruited soldiers have to be trained. The undead are much simpler, anyway, they are all skeletons, zombies, ghosts, corpse witches, not to mention raising, let them bury themselves in the ground when they have nothing to do, which saves space and does not cost resources, and when they die, they will recruit again, there are not many others, will there be fewer corpses? The most famous phrase of the undead is: Dead enemies are allies! It simply explains the essence of the undead race.

In the end, it is also the reason why Yu Bin chose the undead clan the deepest, he wants to have a good relationship with high-level undead NPCs. In case after the world changes, he can't get along like in his previous life, so he has no choice but to give up his identity as a human and become a high-level undead. In this case, if you don't have a good relationship with those high-level undead NPCs who live in seclusion, even if you come to the door in the future, people won't say a word and make you a zombie, and Yu Bin will not have to cry to death. Of course, there is really no way to do it, after all, no one wants to be a skeleton shelf that has no sense of taste and can't be hey. But in order to survive, as a last resort, it is good to have a way back.

Even if it was a dirt road full of deep pits, he was not a road anyway.

Now that the undead race has been determined, the next thing is the race talent reward that Yu Bin is looking forward to the most.

Talents are divided into general and racial types, with the former being available to anyone, while the latter needless to say, can only be obtained by a specific race.

In the end, Yu Bin's racial talents were [Bone Enhancement] and [Undead Shield].

[Bone Strengthening]: Although your physical body has lost its activity, you have managed to increase your bone strength and gain +3 points for your constitution.

[Undead Shield]: Consumes 5% of your current health to form a shield on your body that blocks 15% of your maximum health for 5 seconds. Cooldown time 10 minutes.

It can only be said that Yu Bin's luck is not bad, these two talents are not very good, but they are not very bad.

Since in the world of Entagre, players cannot have the assistance of the system to attack and release skills like ordinary online games, and players who enter the game through souls can only rely on themselves to complete all the ways of action, so it naturally evolves into two extremes.

Even if they have learned skills and spells, players with no combat talent can only release skills like a dull robot, and such players are completely ineffective in the face of real battles, and complex battlefield situations will turn these players into powerless white rabbits, who can only be slaughtered. In the end, these untalented players will either choose to become life players and avoid combat as much as possible, or they can only attack the lowest-level monsters, relying on that pitiful experience point to slowly improve their strength.

These players are collectively referred to as lifestyle players, and they account for almost eighty percent of the entire number of players!

The rest are players who can quickly adapt to the brutal battles of the world of Entagre, relying on a variety of ways to kill monsters, acquire equipment, level up, learn skills, and treat death as nothing. This kind of player is collectively referred to as combat players, although most of the combat players are not high in terms of combat skills or fighting will, but there are still a small number of outstanding players who stand out and become unattainable and powerful beings who stand at the top of the player.

In the eyes of these powerful combat players, those life players, even ordinary combat players, are not at all threatening, they can endure great pain, even ignore the horror of death, and reap their lives wantonly with the weapons in their hands!

The extremely real world of Ntagri has given these talented advanced players a best stage, and they have also reaped great rewards from this world, neither in the game nor in reality, no one dares to underestimate them!

Yu Bin is also one of them! In his previous life, although Yu Bin was not the top at the end of his game career, he was also a master in the eyes of ordinary players, both in terms of psychological quality and combat skills, coupled with 11 years of survival experience in the new world, Yu Bin after rebirth obviously has all the foundations to become a top player!
