Chapter 3 Talent Upgrades
The breeze blew, making the leaves rattle, and when the night was completely dark, the silence was terrible, especially knowing that there was a group of terrifying man-eating giant crocodiles just ahead. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Zhang Xing shuddered involuntarily, he walked cautiously and step by step towards the swamp, this undoubtedly requires a lot of courage, even if it is a game, it will not die, but just the vision and the giant crocodile that does not know where lurking around him requires a lot of mental endurance.
Entering the swamp, Zhang Xing put the straw mat he had made on his chest earlier, then lay down and slowly crawled forward.
His movements were extremely slow, for fear that if there was a noise, a large mouth would burst out next to him and tear himself apart.
It was only about 100 meters away from the location of the first black cordata plant in his memory, and Zhang Xing spent an hour.
He is like an old hunter, unhurried and focused on his goals.
I felt that my skin was wrinkled, and the ugly smell of dead pigs in the swamp was even more of a test for Zhang Xing.
But he was still very patient, little by little, approaching, receiving, receiving......
The target is close at hand, and the last plant, after taking it and leaving, the corners of Zhang Xing's mouth are slightly upturned, and he has even begun to fantasize about his reward.
"...... Uproar"
There was a loud noise, and just two meters on Zhang Xing's right hand, a three-meter-long giant crocodile opened its bloody mouth and bit Zhang Xing fiercely.
"I'm noisy" didn't rush to think, Zhang Xing only came to scold in a hurry, grabbed the black cordata, and put it away.
"Click, click, click......"
"Ah......h
With the sound of broken bones and a burst of hysterical screams, Zhang Xing turned into a white light and returned to the village for free.
"I swear, I don't want to experience that feeling of death again, if anyone bites me with a big mouth again, I promise to tear its mouth apart" Zhang Xing, who had palpitations, was in a daze in the novice village, a little frightened and stupid, but finally came back to his senses, he didn't want to recall the feeling of being bitten in his mouth but not dead at the end, and what it was like to be torn apart alive by three giant crocodiles.
Feeling that it was still early, Zhang Xing continued to dissect the reindeer, until the next day was completely bright, and he finally finished dissecting the reindeer.
β¦β¦
"Warrior, you came back so soon, did you give up because the mission was too difficult?" At five o'clock in the morning, looking at Zhang Xing who was walking towards him, the village chief couldn't help but speak.
"I've got everything you want." Zhang Xing said angrily.
"What! So fast, that's an average monster of more than twenty levels! "The village chief didn't think that he could finish it now, and thought that he would have to rise to level 10 and then gather a large group of people to succeed.
After listening to the village chief's words, Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this NPC intelligence to be so high, but then he thought of what happened to him, so he said viciously: "If your reward is bad, I promise not to tear down your bones." β
"Huh! Hero, you're tired, and I promise you'll be satisfied. The village chief didn't have to think about it to know that Zhang Xing's experience of picking black cordata at the second level must be exciting enough, so he laughed dryly and hurriedly promised.
"System prompt: You have completed the task, and the village chief has instructed you to reward 1000 points of experience." As the system prompted, two white lights rose from Zhang Xing's body, and two levels were born in a row.
"Hero, thank you for everything you have done for the novice village, here is an ancestral book for the hero, and this money, the hero must not be disgusted, use it to buy some medicine or something." The village chief at the right time held a book and handed it to Zhang Xing along with a few coins.
When he opened the backpack, Zhang Xing's eyebrows jumped, and he finally smiled a little.
The village chief gave him five silver coins, which was equivalent to five hundred RMB, which was equivalent to half a month's salary, which was enough to satisfy Zhang Xing, and with these, he could learn several skills. Then he clicked on the book that the old man called an ancestral heirloom.
Talent Upgrade Book (Elementary): After use, the talent skill can be upgraded to a primary talent. (Note: Not tradable, not dropped, and not lost.) οΌ
"Damn!" Zhang Xing scolded, his talent is knowledge, and he doesn't know what the use is, and it's in vain to come! If it could be sold, the book would have sold for a sky-high price, but it wouldn't be tradable.
Look at the talents on other people's forums, what magic specialization, spear specialization, alchemy specialization, forging specialization, and some bizarre and awesome talents, but I haven't seen anyone whose talent is knowledge. There is no explanation of his own knowledge, whether he uses it or not, Zhang Xing is so angry that the roots of his teeth itch.
casually used the talent upgrade book, and then Zhang Xing looked at the character panel again.
Name: Hellstar Level: 4

Occupation: None

Strength: 4HP: 160/160
Agility: 4 speed 32

The talent has been upgraded to a young man of knowledge, and there are two more words, Zhang Xing still can't understand it, and there is no explanation at all, but it has a hundred more prestige, which is estimated to be obtained by completing the task, and there are nine free attributes, and Zhang Xing has not added it.
Then he came to the academy, which has two different courtyards, one east and one west, the east courtyard teaches combat skills, and the west courtyard teaches life skills. Zhang Xing hadn't figured out what skills to learn first, so he decided to understand the situation first.
He came to the east courtyard first, and there were more than a dozen instructors standing in the courtyard, and from time to time there were players standing beside the instructors, and it didn't take long to see the instructor take out a book and hand it to the players. The player holds the book in his hand, and with a direct slap, the book disappears, and then a white light rises from him.
There are still quite a lot of people in the courtyard building, obviously many people are willing to use money, Zhang Xing also squeezed to the side of an instructor named Cape, and then said, "Can I take a look at the skills?" β
Instructor Capet smiled slightly and replied gracefully, "Of course, please feel free." β
Then a menu appeared in front of Zhang Xing.

Fundamentals of Knife Artsγ......
Zhang Xing saw that there were more than ten kinds of melee skills on it, and his eyes suddenly turned green, and he was completely moved, but when he saw the price, it was like a basin of cold water poured down.
It is sold at a sky-high price, although these skills are not limited to occupations, and they can almost give people an advantage in the early stage, but Zhang Xing believes that few people can afford to buy a book for 10 silver coins. Because there are only a few hundred people in a novice village, and the copper coins are too difficult to beat, there are almost none, so unless everyone raises funds, it is impossible to afford it before level ten, of course! Those junk skills for one silver don't count.
clicked on the second menu, and suddenly Zhang Xing's eyes were blinded again.

"I'm rubbing! The magic skill doesn't have the skill of a silver coin at all" Harazi is about to flow out of Zhang Xing's mouth, and now he can't wait to rob the instructor directly! Of course, he could only think that if he really did this, he would be killed by the faculty members in the academy to level zero.
Zhang Xing thought that this was not for players to learn at all, it was purely covetous.
In fact, he didn't know, this was not for all people to learn, this was just to familiarize players with familiar skills, to determine their future direction, the average player to level ten is less than ten silver coins, even if some groups can let one or two people learn a skill, but at that time almost level ten can be transferred after going out, the same can learn skills.
Coming out of the East Courtyard, Zhang Xing was undoubtedly disappointed, he could see it but not touch it, he was about to help him get out of his illness, so he had to come out of sight, and he could only pin his hopes on the West Courtyard.
"If life skills can make money, it's good, but if you upgrade slowly, you can slow down." Zhang Xing muttered quietly as he walked.
The west courtyard is different from the east courtyard, it is more distinct, and the people are much more deserted, a forging room, a tailor's shop, an alchemy pharmacy, an alchemy room, and an organ room.
Zhang Xing entered a forge first, and first saw a young junior blacksmith named Kalinka.
"What kind of requirements do I need to learn to black?" Zhang Xing asked the blacksmith politely.
"Hello friend, it's very easy to learn blacksmithing, you only need to pay 5 silver coins, and I can sell you a beginner's manual for blacksmithing." Hearing that someone wanted to learn forging, Kalinka suddenly became interested, took out a manual from his arms, and dangled it in front of Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing frowned, five silver coins, there will be no money if you use it, and the materials can't afford it, how to forge it when the time comes.
Seeing Zhang Xing frowning, Kalinka thought that he had no money, so he was not discouraged at all, and continued: "It doesn't matter friends, if you don't have enough money, you can learn to mine, just one silver coin, spend another silver coin, buy a hoe, and you can go mining, which is also a good career." This is also the choice of most people. β
Zhang Xing's heart moved, but then he shook his head, don't think about it, the people who are mining now must be overcrowded, and he doesn't like to compete with others for territory.
"Kalinka, I've finally collected a whole set of black bear bones, but my brothers and I have spent two days working tirelessly, and we have destroyed the fur and internal organs of a dozen bears, you have to make up for my loss." When Zhang Xing was about to leave, a player came in, and after listening to his words, his heart moved, and there were still seven or eight reindeer dissected materials in his backpack. He really didn't know what else to use except eating.
Zhang Xing took a closer look at the player whose name was Dancing in the Wind, the player was wearing plate armor and had attributes at a glance, and he was holding an axe in his hand, which seemed to be a good mix, his body was a little burly, a typical Guozi face, and he was talking in an urn voice, and he was pulling out bones from his backpack one by one at this time.
"Gross! Mr. Dancing in the Wind, you are amazing, thank you so much, give, this is your reward. After counting, Kalinka said with a smile, and took out a coin from his bosom and handed it to Dancing in the Wind.
Zhang Xing saw it clearly, the coin was shining with silver light, and it was clearly a silver coin. Seeing the dancing in the wind and walking out of the forge room with satisfaction, Zhang Xing's guess was even more confirmed, and he couldn't help but blush, and even asked, "Mr. Kalinka, do you collect the bones of beasts?" β
"Of course, beast bones are added to ore, but they are good materials for forging weapons." After being affirmed, Zhang Xing began to dig out the deer bones in one fell swoop.
"Well, most of your bones are broken, and there are only a few pairs of intact bones, and I can pay you 15 copper coins." Kalinka could almost tell the difference between good and bad with just one glance, and said in a tone of indifference, obviously not very likely.
Zhang Xing didn't have a choice, and those bones were useless to put on his body, so he took fifteen copper coins and walked out.
He continued to walk to the tailor's shop next to him, thinking that since the forging shop collected bones, the tailor's shop must collect furs and so on.
He guessed correctly, and when he came out of the tailor's shop, he had another 15 copper coins on him.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xing decided to learn alchemy, after all, what he needed most now was medicine that could restore blood, and the materials could be found in the wild, without having to compete with others.
The alchemist's name is an old man from France, and as soon as Zhang Xing said two sentences, he directly opened his mouth to learn alchemy.
Frans took out a book from the bookshelf in his room, then handed it to Zhang Xing, and said, "This is an introduction to alchemy. β
Zhang Xing handed over five silver coins in pain, and then couldn't wait to take the introductory book of alchemy, and immediately clicked to study.
"System prompt: Since you are the first player to learn alchemy, the system will reward you with a medicine tripod."
"Gross! Earn big. Zhang Xingmei smiled, took out the medicine pod from his backpack and looked at it.
Baihuading (Black Iron): Increases the success rate of alchemy by 10%
"Roar..." Zhang Xing was ready to start refining the medicine, but the next scene made him completely dumbfounded.
