Chapter 5 The Price of the Starter Package
"It makes sense, although you have been given a free chance to repair your body by the system, and you can find another host when you die, but that would be too much waste of energy and time.
So give you a starter pack, what do you want? Technology, Martial Arts, Weapons, Abilities, Upgrade Energy...? The old man's voice in the system said with a little contemplation
"Can you choose both?" Shen Mu asked pitifully, because his attention was all rushed by these things, so he automatically ignored the words he said to the salted fish like wasting energy and time
"No, and this gift package has a price" He wouldn't tell Shen Mu that now the system only has a little bit of energy, and even the energy to be activated again is not enough
When Shen Mu activated the system, because he fused attributes and skills, it cost him 5 points of energy in the system, and it took a little more to repair his body
Coupled with the 5 energy consumed when the system is started, there are only a pitiful 4 energy points in the system today, which is only enough for the system to run for a month;
Looking at these 4 points of energy, the two really wanted to go back to the time when the system was first activated, and stop the system from wasting precious energy on this weak life;
They would rather watch Shen Mu die in order to change to a host with stronger strength and more potential, but it is useless to say anything now
The behavior of the system when it is activated is the autonomous behavior of the system, and they have only just woken up at that time, and they are still in a state of confusion, and they have no idea what is going on
Then again, if they had reacted at the time, they wouldn't have been able to stop the system from acting autonomously: because the system had two-quarters of the permissions, and he and Gapalius each had only a quarter
The combined authority of the two can only compete with this nascent system, not to mention that although this nascent system only has some basic operating rules, it has absolute priority
That is, if the system disagrees with them, but the authority is the same, the system command will continue to be executed unconditionally, so the authority of the two of them is useless at all.
It's just that they can become NPCs and enjoy the treatment of the system at the same time, of course, they can design some of the system's functions, prices, etc. without violating the rules of system operation
Now that he has no energy to choose another powerful host, he can only give Shen Mu a little benefit to this weak mortal in comparison
Letting this host who can help them collect energy have a certain strength, and let him hurry up to collect energy, is the most cost-effective and important thing at present
"At what cost?"
"That's up to you"
"And what do you think I'm better off?" Shen Mu, who couldn't make up his mind, asked
"Calculating... Depending on the current situation, the best option to give is: upgrade energy. You can increase the level by 10 levels, or increase a skill by 5 levels, do you choose? ”
"At what cost?"
"The price is to submit at least five points of energy to the system within half a month, and the failure to obliterate the "newbie gift package is not easy to take, and now the system resources are tight, so I have to issue a death mission to him."
So that he can hurry up and collect energy, you must know that the main quest does not require him to collect energy, let alone any punishment, but after such a play, I am afraid that the nascent system has automatically learned this trick.
"Yes" Shen Mu gritted his teeth and replied after hesitating, Shen Mu himself knew very well that he had an advantage in skills, and if he was promoted to ten levels, it would be equivalent to twenty levels of others
His current attributes are the same as those of other people's ten or so levels, and if he adds another twenty levels, his attributes are no different from those of a mid-level peak professional. With such attributes, he is confident that he can still do some risky things
As soon as he decided on the choice, he received a prompt: he received a new item in the system space, opened it and looked at it, and found that it was a small experience pill, and after using it, he gained 100,000 experience, and he could choose to use it on skills or characters.
Shen Mu didn't communicate with the system for a long time
Outside, as the injuries on his body were slowly repaired by the system, his wounds healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye
Namir, who was taking care of him, looked at his rapidly recovering body, and suddenly screamed like a ghost:
"Oh, God, look at Shen, his wounds are healing, it's unbelievable, it's a miracle that such a heavy wound can heal so quickly."
The yellow hairy Salt, who was driving, took the time to take a look, but he couldn't see it clearly, but Meredith, the captain of the passenger seat, turned his head to see the situation clearly, and for a moment he also whispered like Namir
At this time, the car also came to a place where he could see the small city of Biansai, Shen Mu was in pain for his injury, and he also knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he quickly opened his eyes, Pei Lan's weak appearance:
"Captain, Namir, you don't need to exclaim, just now my ancestral gold sore medicine took effect, and it was hidden in the pendant on my chest, you see, the pendant is empty." Shen Mu casually made up a lie and prevaricated his teammates.
I also took down the pendant shell that originally contained the system and showed it to my teammates
"Well, I see, it turns out that you Orientals are a magical people, and it turns out to be true. Either way, you're okay, and then we can be happy for the extra prey
If you're really okay, we can go to Jack's Bar for a nice drink in the evening. The captain quipped
Back in the small city of Biansai, the teammates still took Shen Mu to the clinic for a check-up, and after the doctor confirmed that Shen Mu was indeed fine, everyone went to submit the task first, and then walked happily to Jack's Tavern
In the tavern, everyone was amazed at the efficacy of his ancestral gold sore medicine, but unfortunately it was an ancestral one, and there was no more, and his teammates were a little disappointed because of this
When he went back, in order to let everyone get used to it, the captain decided to pause for a few days before deciding to take on the mercenary mission, and at the same time let the team members think about it
Look at the fact that after such a dangerous thing today, these newcomers dare to continue to work as mercenaries with their heads pinned to their belts every day
You must know that not everyone has good luck, if it weren't for the ancestral "Golden Sore Medicine" on Shen Mu's body, he would have been replaced by two other newcomers today, and he would definitely have finished playing
Moreover, the extra male lion was actually a mutating beast, and his corpse was a precious corpse worth studying for the apothecary
Most of the beasts in the mutation will hide and wait quietly for the mutation to end, and it is difficult to get the corpses in the mutation, so each person has been given 20 gold coins, enough for them to squander for a month.
It should be said here that the technology of this world is still good, although it has only reached the point of launching satellites, but it is worth mentioning that the currency has been unified, at least on this continent
Gold coins are a large unit of currency, under which is paper money, one gold for 1000 banknotes, 1000 banknotes are enough for a family of three, saving a little money for a month
