Chapter 5: The Labyrinth (2)

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Li Mengxi made his preparations and came to the place agreed with Hinata - in front of the fountain in the central square of the eastern district of Hatsuha City.

And Nane Hinata has been waiting there for a long time. Unlike Li Mengxi, she changed into a non-combat uniform, a kimono with sea blue as the main color. At this time, when she heard the sound of footsteps that were obviously moving closer to her, Hinata Nayin looked at her and waved her hand towards Li Mengxi with a smile.

As a result, Li Mengxi also sped up some pace.

"Why are you wearing such clothes?" Coming to Hinata Nayin, Li Mengxi immediately asked.

"Isn't it normal to wear civilian clothes in the city? ”

"Alas. Li Mengxi didn't want to argue about such a boring thing, so he sighed softly and changed the topic, "Where are you going to eat?"

"Before that, tell me what you think. Saying that, Hinata Nain took a few steps back to fully show her image in Li Mengxi's eyes, and then turned around to show the back of the look.

Since he was asked how he felt after watching it, Li Mengxi also seriously appreciated it again, and then nodded and said, "The color should be lighter." ”

Hearing this, Naine Hinata suddenly froze, and her mood became the same as that of an actor who was coldly staged. Immediately, she sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, let's go. As he spoke, Naine Hinata shook off and took the lead in taking a step.

"So, where are we going?" Li Mengxi asked again while following.

"You'll know when you get there. Hinata replied.

Eventually, Nayin Hinata took Li Mengxi to a restaurant called "Yan Shan Pavilion". At first glance, it looks like a cheap family restaurant with a chinoiserie setting, but it's actually one of the most luxurious in the Eastern District.

"How is it here!"

In the scream, Li Mengxi, who could even ignore the three consecutive blows of the dark green barbarian, was deterred by the restaurant's signboard at this time. There's no way, who can be promoted to level eight or nine right now doesn't put all the money into the recovery props, so they're nervous?

"What's going on here?" asked Hinata unconcernedly, but rather puzzled, as she had already climbed the steps in front of the restaurant.

"It's very expensive! I've heard that it costs a week's worth of income to eat a meal!"

Hearing this, Hinata Nain laughed out loud after being slightly stunned.

"Besides, I have this ......," she said, holding out a card, and turned back to continue walking into the restaurant.

"What is this?" asked Li Mengxi as he followed.

"Discount card, you can discount it in half. ”

Hinata Nain said very proudly, but this kind of prop is a bit chicken in Li Mengxi's opinion, but he still has curiosity.

"How did you get this delicate prop?"

"It's not that hard. Saying that, Hinata Nain sat down in the selected window position, and Li Mengxi also sat opposite. Maybe it's because it's expensive, even at dinner time, there aren't many customers in the restaurant, and the waiter NPC immediately leans in.

"I'm ready to tell you the secret, can I order the dishes?"

"It's okay, just order whatever you want. ”

“OK。 ”

"Well, the secret is ......"

"Just heartily leave a delicious review after tasting the dishes here. As she explained, Nane Hinata pointed out to the NPC what she wanted on the menu.

"That's it?"

"yes, that's it, and then the waiter will happily give you a discount card. It's not a task, it's barely an activity to cheer up. By the way, there is one more prerequisite. ”

"On what terms?"

"Cooking proficiency is above 200. ”

"You have practiced your cooking skills to more than 200!" Li Mengxi couldn't help but exclaim at this time.

Everything in this game is very close to reality, and cooking here is not just a matter of tapping on the interface, but also about actually cooking. Although there is a system of help, it is still quite difficult. And I've heard that someone has made more than 20 dishes so far without getting a bit of proficiency.

"How did you do it!" Therefore, Li Mengxi had to ask.

However, Naon Hinata replied, "If you ask how to do it, I can only say that I don't know." ”

"Don't know?"

"It's true. The initial value of my cooking skills is 286 points. However, this is reasonable. You know, in the real world, I've had four years of kitchen experience. In other games, we all start from scratch, which is very unfair......"

Li Mengxi didn't listen carefully to Hinata Nain's complaints, but was thinking about things. In fact, many of his own initial individual values are several times more than those of ordinary people, and now that I think about it, these items seem to be related to his experience of practicing martial arts.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Mengxi's serious expression, Hinata Nain stopped complaining and asked cautiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that something came to mind about the initial stats of the individual. Saying that, Li Mengxi called up a window and pushed it to Nayin Hinata, "You take a look at this first." Here are the data for the main weapon I use now. ”

Since Li Mengxi chose the option of disclosing data, the data window naturally appeared in front of Hinata's eyes.

This is the material for a one-handed sword. It's called "Grandmaster's Defective", and it has an attack power of 150, which should be quite high at this stage, even higher than some commonly used two-handed weapons, but it doesn't have any enchantment effect. It is worth mentioning the conditions for use - sword weapon proficiency of 200 or more.

"Isn't this the 'monster sword' in the store!" Hinata exclaimed after looking carefully at the window.

"It's the first time I've heard that. ”

"No, it's all over the streets. The agility of the one-handed weapon, but the attack power is comparable to that of a two-handed weapon, and it is very light, and the price is also at a level that anyone can afford. It's just that the weapon proficiency required can be called rebellious, so it's called the 'monster sword'. You know, just like cooking, no one knows how to improve your weapon proficiency now......" Speaking of which, Hinata Naon noticed another surprising fact, "So, your sword proficiency is more than 200 from the beginning!"

"Hmm. Li Mengxi nodded, and by the way, glanced at the window that had not been put away. The proficiency of the sword weapon displayed there is not only 200, but a full 500. There are also long lists of long-handled weapon proficiency, bow weapon proficiency, hidden weapon weapon proficiency, and so on. If you think about it carefully, all of them can correspond to the weapons that Li Mengxi has practiced in his martial arts career for more than ten years.

All of this, coupled with the cooking proficiency of Nayin Hinata that he heard about at this moment, Li Mengxi couldn't help but have a guess.

"I can probably guess how these proficiency levels have improved. So he said.

"Really, how?" asked Hinata with an immediately interested expression.

"Don't expect too much, I'm just guessing, and it's just an approximation. ”

"Anyway, let's talk about it first. ”

"You said you had four years of kitchen experience, right? ”

"Hmm. ”

"My family is a martial arts family, and I started learning martial arts when I was about five years old, and it has been twelve years now. ”

"You're a martial artist, that's amazing. ”

"I'm not a full-fledged martial artist. Without further ado, I wonder if my weapon proficiency and your cooking proficiency are based on our real-life experiences?"

Hearing this, Hinata Nain thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement and said, "Hearing you say that, I also feel like that." ”

"So, will the increase in stats be the same as in the real world? ”

"That is to say......"

In other words, the focus is not on how many times you have repeated the work, but on whether you have mastered it and how deeply you have mastered it. ”

"But doesn't the fourth rule of the Obelisk Iron Rule say that 'all possible parameter values can only be increased by repeated exercises, without exception'?"

"There is no contradiction between the two, and from a general game perspective, repetitive workouts can indeed be equated with doing one thing over and over again. But the essence of 'exercise' should be to master a skill. Also, have you ever felt that there are many places in this game that are exactly like real life? ”

"Hmm. There is a feeling this way. ”

"Wouldn't it make sense to aim for the real-life appearance as much as possible in the 'process of parameter value improvement'?"

"That's right, but is it really possible? The fact that games can't completely reproduce real life has to be admitted. Even if hundreds of state-level computers are connected in series, it is impossible to completely simulate the real world. After all, the amount of intelligence is too large. At the end of the day, it's hard for the system to make a judgment on 'mastery', let alone depth. ”

What Hinata Nain said is not something that Li Mengxi can deny if he doesn't agree, but whether he agrees with it or not, it's a fact. Based on this premise, Li Mengxi's hypothesis does not seem to be valid, so ......

"How can we explain this?" Li Mengxi said half-to himself.

After the conversation was closed, Naine Hinata fell into a long period of deep thought with him, until the waiter brought the ordered dish.

"Well, stop thinking about it, we're players, not makers. Hurry up and get started, we'll have business in a moment. ”

"Hmm. That's right. Saying that, Li Mengxi nodded, and then picked up the chopsticks as well.

However, questions about the game mechanics of MysteryWorld have not been completely cleared from the minds of the two, and they have only been sleeping in a remote corner for the time being.
