Chapter 18: Meritorious Mission-The Orcs Must Die
Indeed, as Dem said, the Ministry of Supervision welcomed Chen Yu's arrival very much, just like the direct officers who welcomed them. Chen Yu, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, secretly guessed that they welcomed themselves so much, on the one hand, because they represented the capital of stars, and on the other hand, it was probably the reason for the seemingly useless 100 prestige.
He thought of it because he saw someone on the forum say that one of the punishments for death is to lose prestige. Death will lose prestige once, and the more you die, the less prestige you have, which also represents your own incompetence, so naturally no one will respect you.
In other words, being strong in this world does not win respect, and only those who have died a few times can do it!
As for the prestige, what are the specific benefits? The most intuitive thing is to win the respect of everyone, and a little deeper is to get some irrelevant discounts on some things, such as now, Chen Yu can watch all the meritorious tasks, whether he can accept them or not.
Chen Yu took a cursory look at all the meritorious tasks, and found that these tasks were simply all-encompassing, ranging from cleaning and delivering letters to assassinating orc commanders. Of course, the simpler the task, the less merit value, such as cleaning, only one merit a day, that is to say, if Chen Yu chooses to clean and earn merit, it will take 1,500 years to surpass the merits of Tiebi-Quero, hehe, maybe, by that time the world will be destroyed, and he will do a woolen task.
He concluded that anything that helped the defense of the fortress of Tiferno would be rewarded, and that the merit would depend on the value of what was defended. For example, if Chen Yu escorts a batch of supplies to the outpost, then no matter whether he encounters danger along the way, or the danger is much greater than expected, the merit will not change, because this merit is determined according to the value of the material.
After figuring out the mechanics of merit, he rummaged through a bunch of merit quests for a while before finding a task that suited him better, at least that's what he thought.
[Mission Name: Orcs Must Die]
[Type: Meritorious Mission]
[Quest content: Kill all orcs active outside Tiferor Fortress, merit depends on the strength of the orcs]
[Kill Target and Merit: Kill a Half-Orc with Two Teeth, Merit 1 point.]
Kill a four-toothed half-orc for 5 points.
Kill the Orc Commander for 500 points]
The reason why Chen Yu chose this task is because the merits that can be obtained from this task are unlimited, unlike cleaning and escorting materials, the merits are fixed, and it is completely unrealistic to want to obtain more merit than Tiebi-Queiro by completing these tasks. But what are these two teeth and four teeth? He looked at Dem and asked, "Dem, what do you mean by double and quadruple teeth in this mission?" ”
"It's not surprising that you're not at the border." Dem thought for a moment and explained, "Don't look at the orcs who also have the word 'human', in fact, they are still very different from us. For example, the standard of their adulthood is different from that of us humans, they are based on the standard of molting. When the orcs shed their two fangs for the first time, it meant that they had reached adulthood and initially possessed strong combat power, comparable to one of our elite warriors. Since they hang their shed fangs on their chests, we all call them two-toothed half-orcs. And the four-toothed half-orc is a half-orc who has shed fangs twice, and his strength is very strong! As for the half-beast commander, it is the half-orc who shed his fangs for the third time, the strength is so strong that it can no longer be accurately measured, the weak is very weak, only slightly stronger than the four-toothed half-orc, and the strong is very strong, three years ago, a half-beast commander raided the fortress, killing and wounding more than 3,000 people before retreating, that kind of strong, it makes people shudder to think about it! ”
"Oh, no wonder the merit of this half-orc leader is so high, and the strength is so strong!" Chen Yu nodded and said.
"Are you going to take on this task? If you're going to hunt orcs in a team, can you take one with me? Demu said confidently: "Although my strength is not the strongest in the fortress, I definitely know the orcs the best, there is no one, with me, you will save a lot of trouble!" ”
"Well, I'm going to take a look, but I'm just doing the task by the way, the main thing is that I want to go out alone to gain knowledge, so-" Chen Yu declined.
"That's it!" Dem looked disappointed.
"However, I still have a few days to prepare before I go, can you help me popularize the precautions for hunting orcs in these days?" Although Chen Yu didn't know why Demu was so disappointed, it didn't prevent him from seeing that Demu was trying to please him, and if he didn't give him a chance to curry favor, he might still be resentful, besides, he really needed to know about the orcs, which could be regarded as taking what he needed.
As for what it would do to Dem to please him, he didn't need to know.
"Good, good! Of course, no problem, as long as I know, I'll tell you! As Chen Yu expected, Demu immediately became overjoyed, and patted his chest and promised loudly: "I dare to guarantee that with my help, your adventure will be as easy and enjoyable as an outing!" If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go get ready now! ”
"Is there really anything, do you have a training ground here?" Chen Yu asked, the reason why he needed to prepare for a few days was that he needed to learn the "mobile spellcasting" and reach a certain level of proficiency, which was why he dared to go out alone.
"Of course, I'll take you there, please come with me!" Dem said.
As a military unit, the training ground of the Tiferor Fortress is ten times stronger than the town where Chen Yu first arrived! The training ground is not only wide, but also has all kinds of training equipment, and even the actual combat objects have scarecrows replaced by iron metal men!
Chen Yu is very satisfied with the training ground here, and of course he is not satisfied with the luxurious equipment here, but because he has a separate training room! That's one of the benefits of prestige, and while everything in this room is exactly the same as the outside, the sense of privilege is not comparable.
Of course, this feeling only lasted for a while, and Chen Yu began to practice "mobile casting".
Moving Casting is a simple but practical way to use some tips for using spellcasting, such as how to keep your rhythm consistent while moving, and how to cast spells smoothly in this fixed rhythm.
It only took Chen Yu one day to learn this skill, which added another skill to the skill panel.
[Skill Name: Mobile Caster]
[Type: Passive Skill]
[Rank: Beginner]
[Effect: Greatly increase the success rate of skills in moving, and skill damage depends on proficiency (currently the skill damage in movement is 40% of the original skill)]
It can be seen from the skill panel that although the skill has been learned, the effect in actual combat is not very large, and the damage is too low - ten points of damage for a fireball, sixty percent of it is removed, and there are only four points, which is not much different from attacking with a fist - if you want to fight in real combat, you need to continue to improve the rank.
But a skill like this takes a long time to be honed, so Chen Yu plans to practice it for a few more days and then go out to hunt orcs and earn meritorious deeds.
Three days spent in his frenzied honing of his mobile spell casting skills, and when the system prompted that the power of mobile spellcasting had increased to 50 percent, he decided to hunt the orcs, which was already the limit of what he could currently reach, and it would take time to improve again.
However, there was a small problem to be solved before he could go, and he turned to the man who had been wandering around the training ground for three days and was the same player as him.
