178 [Summoning a Pet] and [Scroll Transcript]
Okay, Wutong calculated, it took him more than half an hour to read a thick, full of 100 pages of "Spell Details", which was still completed under his somewhat peculiar reading speed and memory ability, for ordinary players, I am afraid it will not take more than ten hours to read this "Spell Details" in a hurry? When you encounter the kind of weird thing that a page of a book can read for months, I guess I don't want to see 100% of the [reading progress] of this book in my life.
"Endless" is a new concept online game,It uses a subliminal real mechanism,It's not the same as the setting that you learn to learn skills in a skill book in traditional online games.,Although all kinds of settings are simplified as much as possible.,So that players won't be unbearable.,But it's not like turning a book over and over again can increase [reading progress].
In "Endless", reading a book is really "reading a book", you not only turn over a book, even if you finish it, but remember the content of the book, and the degree of understanding of the content, to judge your [reading progress] of the book.
With Wutong's fast memory ability and dynamic reading speed, he can almost remember seven, seven, eight, and eight after turning it over and over again, but he only gets [3%] [reading speed], because although he has memorized the content of the book, he does not fully understand the content of the book.
The thought of having 46 thick books in his school bag made Wutong sweat, this is just an entry-level basic reading, he hasn't even come into contact with the books of the mage's own profession, not to mention the learning items of more than a dozen categories, dozens of branches, and hundreds of children in the [knowledge] skills that the mage needs to learn mentioned last time.
The mage profession is really not something that any player can play well, and if the children who don't like to read when they go to school choose the mage profession, it will probably be a tragedy.
That's what's interesting about Endless, because in the official sources, the profession of a mage is described very simply: a mage is a database of accumulated knowledge.
Two mages with the same level, the same skills, the same caste, and the same skills are likely to have vastly different strengths due to the different amounts of [knowledge] they possess.
[Specialization is domain-based, and roles are surnamed.] 】
This sentence is written on the front page of the official profile, and the evaluation of the player character claims that there are no two player characters in "Hentai" who are absolutely the same!
Wutong suddenly understood, the amount of knowledge involved in the mage profession is too huge, to master the dozen classifications, dozens of branches, hundreds of children's learning projects, all of them is simply impossible to accomplish, so it will inevitably happen to choose one of the specialties, one of the fields to study, it is estimated that in the middle and late stages, the players of the mage profession will present their surnames, which will be very exciting!
Of course, the setting of "Endless" is also very human, and in reality, "Master leads the door, and the cultivation is personal." As the saying goes, it's your own business whether you spend the time and effort to learn, no one will force you, and it won't affect you from becoming a mage, but don't expect to be able to compare with mage players who have a lot of [knowledge].
Geniuses and mediocre talents are often separated by a line, writing, drawing, singing, and eating
Some people write like a cat scratches, while others can become calligraphers; Some people draw like ghosts, but some people can become painters; Some people sing like ghosts crying wolves, but some people can become singers; Some people eat like starving ghosts reincarnated, while others can become gourmets; That's the gap!
The sudden realization made Wutong suddenly realize that he also had to choose to become a mage specializing in a certain field, otherwise, he would be exhausted just by reading books!
Can you choose to become a mage in that realm? Wutong was stunned for a while, the branch that the mage profession could evolve was too huge
In a trance, Wutong suddenly heard the old mage call himself, and a spirit looked up, only to find that the old mage was taking out a stack of terrible books like magic, and was swinging them in front of him: "This is [geography], [history], [nature], [religion], [plane], [place], [noble], [royal], [mystery], [architecture], [engineering], [dungeon], and so on."
"So much"
Before Wutong could say a word, the old mage's next half sentence frightened him: "Introduction and book list, you can get a general idea, I have attached some common course lists at the end of each subject, but these books that need to be used need to be collected by yourself!" ”
"Kill me!"
Wutong, who almost fainted, trembled and looked at the twelve big books stacked in front of him that were taller than himself, this is actually just a catalog? This is much more "study hard and make progress every day." "Can you finish learning?
"You can slowly collect books on these subjects in the course of your later adventures and studies."
The old mage said solemnly: "If you want to become an erudite mage, you must first learn to learn by yourself, you can't always follow me, so what I want to teach you is [how to learn], [how to focus], [document interpretation], [recognition spells], [language]"
Wutong opened his mouth and watched the old mage explain like a lotus, and he couldn't interject at all, so he could only cry without tears and desperately try to remember every word the old mage said as much as possible.
After a long time, the old mage clicked his mouth and looked at the sycamore that looked at him with dull eyes: "That's basically it, the detailed content, because of time constraints, if you are interested, you can study on your own." Alright, that's all for today's lesson. ”
Wutong breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnestied, and looked up at the time, very good! The sky was overcast, the old mage's lips were closed, and the night passed
Just before the old mage was about to let him go, Wutong finally remembered that he had no entrustment, and quickly took out the parchment map: "Teacher, my friend found an ancient parchment scroll"
"Oh?"
The old mage was surprised to take the map of the parchment that had been repaired, put on the crystal lenses and read it carefully, after a while, he smiled and stretched out his palm to brush it on the parchment roll, the faint arcane energy fluctuated, the effect of [repair] was erased, and the vague and obscure arcane words on the parchment seemed to come to life and twisted slightly, changing its form, and the parchment became brand new, as if it had just been made.
"It's just a very simple [arcane trick], if you put a little more effort into [reading], [text reading], [detecting arcane laws], [spell identification], you won't be stumped on such simple questions in the future."
Handing the sheepskin map to Wutong, the old mage took off the crystal lens on his face and said meaningfully: "This 'ancient' map seems to point to the ruins left by an ancient dynasty, maybe I should give you and your friends a little advice, if you plan to explore this ruins, it is best to be prepared, such as bringing enough supplies and survival needs in the wild, and recruiting some more strong friends." ”
The old mage touched his snow-white beard thoughtfully: "In addition, I should probably give you a task as an after-class homework, there are often a large number of documents in the ancient ruins, try to bring as much blank paper as possible, and transcribe those documents back." ”
Wutong, who suddenly received the task of [transcribing documents from ancient ruins], was stunned, and the old mage continued: "Don't be in a hurry to set off, go to the herbalist Baku, the apothecary Baal, the enchanter Soberon, the alchemist Ge Jiayi, the scholar An Lijia, and the scribe Tyco, and learn the [item identification], [potion blending], [potion preparation], [alchemy], [equipment manufacturing], [item enchantment], etc., which will be very helpful to your adventures. Practice is the best way to learn. ”
As he spoke, the old mage took out two scrolls: "These are the two [Specialty] learning methods [Summoning Demon Pets] and [Scroll Transcript], when you reach their learning conditions, you can learn on your own, and it should be able to help you in your adventure life." ”
Sycamore's eyes lit up, and there were two more [specialties]:
[Summoning Pets]: Capture a critter and transform it into an "Arcane Beast" so that you can summon it to your service at any time.
[Scroll Transcript]: Use your own skills to copy spells on scrolls so that they can be used at any time, spells made into scrolls are considered prepared spells, which can be triggered instantly, and copying scrolls requires the consumption of soul energy points equal to energy consumption.
The [Craft], [Specialty], [Skill], [Spell], and [Specialty] in "Endless" all belong to different systems, and the mage profession gets a [Specialty Position] every 3 levels, and every 5 levels can get a reward [Specialty Position], in addition, you can get an additional [Specialty Position] when the human race is level 0.
After Sycamore reaches level 20, he can theoretically gain 1 race "Extra [Specialty Position]", 6 "Upgrade [Specialty Position]", and 4 "Reward [Specialty Position]", for a total of 11 Specialty Positions.
But having a specialty bit,It doesn't mean that he has a specialty.,This needs to be obtained by the player himself.,At present, Wutong only learned a [meditation] from the old mage, and now there are more [summoning magic pets] and [scroll transcription], if you want to fill the vacant 8 [specialty positions], I'm afraid you have to rely on the player's own character.
These three specialties are the three specialties that legal players will inevitably master, not that the old mage has any special treatment for Sycamore, the only thing is that [Summoning Demon Pets] and [Scroll Transcript] are the specialties that players can only master after reaching the 1st level and officially taking office, and Sycamore has obtained it in advance as a [trainee mage].
Seeing the [Scroll Transcription] specialty, Wutong was immediately happy, he was worried that his [Spell Position] was not enough, he could only memorize 12 spells a day, and his [Apprenticeship Book] was copying 25 spells!
With this specialty, he can copy spells that are rarely used in normal times, but need to be used at critical times, into scrolls and carry them around, without taking up every spell slot.
Stuffing all the large pile of books the old mage had given him into the [moving shelves], and putting away the two specialty scrolls, Sycamore respectfully said goodbye to the teacher, and slipped away before he could remember to charge himself.
It wasn't until he slipped out of the church that Wutong breathed a sigh of relief, and after carefully looking at the parchment map "translated" by the old mage, he said to Wudao: "This map points to a glade in the Left Lung Forest, according to my teacher's meaning, our current strength doesn't seem to be enough to explore this place, I think we should improve our strength first, and get ready to go, right?" ”
nodded silently, but it was the little Lori who shouted happily: "Xiaoxiao is also going!" Xiaoxiao is going too! ”
"Uh-huh, let's go!"
Wutong didn't plan to take little Lori on an adventure, but considering that this is just a game, there will be no irreparable danger, plus little Lori, a super strong priest, is indeed an indispensable member of the adventure.
But if you want to take an adventure, I'm afraid that just relying on him as a [trainee mage], a smile and a [trainee priest], and a sharp battle without the wanderer route of this war class, the career configuration seems to be far from enough.
Sycamore calculated, if they formed an adventurous team, they would need at least a few blood and beef shields, a few melee fighters, and preferably some warlocks and wizards, and a hunter as well
Unfortunately, there are only a handful of players who have taken up the [Trainee Class] right now, and they haven't even been able to find such a tough guy, so it's going to be hard to find other trainee classes!
Wutong walked with a smile and walked towards the armed guard camp of the village, intending to receive the reward for the mission out of the village, but found that the players in the village in a hurry couldn't help but avoid them when they saw them, and there was some reverence in their expressions, which may have something to do with the fact that most of the players in Shell Village knew that the three of them were important figures in the "Secret Shadow" guild, especially since he was an "NPC" who also mastered the teleportation function.
"That's right!" Wutong turned his head and asked Wu, who was following Xiaoxiao's side, "What skills have you mastered now?" ”
Wu was silent for a moment and reported his skills: "[Horizontal Slash], [Thrust], [Armor Piercing], [Shank Strike], [Check], [Heavy Attack]. ”
"Uh, it's all Combat Grade skills!?"
Sycamore was a little worried, because before the inauguration, the skills of the players in the war class were only those simple moves, and only after the official inauguration would the special surnames of the subclasses be distinguished from the war class.
"You're going to go the thief route?"
The "thief route" mentioned by Wutong is the player's own name, because the "thief" profession in the traditional online game is called [wanderer" in "Endless".
"But who is the NPC mentor [of the Wanderer]?" Wutong suddenly froze for a moment, remembering a "secret" mentioned in the "Raiders".
