Chapter 20 Be cautious in all things
Although the name of the last four-star combat skill "Physical Explosion" is mediocre, it is actually a powerful skill that requires extremely high spiritual power accumulation and control, and higher requirements for the body.
With this explosive increase in strength and agility, any basic fighting technique can get a huge bonus, which can be called powerful.
Wang Li saw a lot of knives and guns and other weapons on the wall of the old horse's basement, and he knew that the old horse should have a good weapon handle.
It's just that he's never seen the old horse's skills, and he's a little less convinced.
He carefully analyzed these three combat skills that had an obvious inheritance relationship, and guessed in his heart how strong the old horse would be in his heyday?
Just looking at these three combat skills, it feels like taking the route of high critical hits and low endurance.
Especially when Wang Li analyzed the four-star combat skill "Physical Explosion", it was described: This combat skill is extremely demanding on the body, and rash use may cause permanent damage to the body, so it must be practiced carefully!
There is another paragraph: Do not use it forcibly in the case of physical decline, otherwise it is easy to cause physical collapse!
There is another paragraph: do not break out for more than three minutes in a row, otherwise it is easy to cause serious sequelae!
Good guys, this kind of combat skill looks too dangerous, right?
And even if you practice, it's only a 'three-minute real man'?
Wang Li was a little indifferent to it at that time.
Then he remembered the current state of his teacher's decadence......
He suddenly looked at Lao Ma thoughtfully, wanting to ask, but he felt that it was not good to probe into other people's privacy in this way.
The old horse seemed to feel his gaze, and immediately said angrily: "I'm going to rest, you can study hard yourself." ”
In this way, Wang Li was herded again......
This is not surprising.
Wang Li watched the old horse go back to the room to rest, he thought about it, and still took out 4,600 from the remaining eight thousand dragon coins and put it at the head of the old horse's bed.
He received a total of 23,000 dragon coins in the list of the Li family and his wife last time, including the deposit, and the deduction of eight achievements was 4,600.
He didn't ignore the money because of what he had done before, and still honestly handed it over to his teacher before returning to the outside room to continue looking at the store.
Hey, after doing this order for a long time, I have 1900 left in my hands...... Coupled with the rest of the previous mission, he now only has almost 2,500 dragon coins in his hand.
The profession of a witcher is really expensive.
But thinking about it the other way, it seems that I made 2500 in three days, and the speed of making money is also very fast.
He began to look forward to it, hoping to make a big order today.
Unfortunately not.
He read a book all afternoon, but the old horse was well rested until dark.
After closing the shop, Wang Li simply said goodbye to Lao Ma, and returned to his house with six books and some remaining ritual materials.
I was thinking that it would fail or something, but I didn't expect it to succeed once, saving a lot of materials, and maybe I can use it next time.
And after returning home, after eating with Jiang Hui and chatting for a while, he went back to his room to continue reading.
He is now watching "Psionic Energy Explosion", although this "Psionic Energy Explosion" combat skill requires strong physical fitness to support, but he thinks that some of the tricks of quickly refining psionic energy are still very interesting.
There are also some basic knowledge mentioned in it, which fascinates Wang Li, who has not studied it systematically.
Then he suddenly remembered two other books that he had overlooked: "The Array of Spiritual Strikes" and "The Array of Spiritual Resistance".
These two books were what Wang Li once felt he could save and not buy, but when he actually opened them, many of them were explained by basic theories.
Only then did he realize that he had been thinking too superficially.
Although these two books are about the six-pointed star array he has already mastered, in fact, some very important expansion content has been added to it: the stacking array!
In other words, stacking the same six-pointed star array together in a special way can have a certain degree of power enhancement effect!
This is a usage that Wang Li has never thought of before, and it has also greatly broadened his horizons.
Spirit Strike Array: Stack, which increases the power of the original Spirit Strike Array by 50%.
Three-fold is 50% on top of this, four-fold, five-fold, and so on.
It's just that the cost and difficulty of mastering each additional array are doubled.
Although many people will study the method of stacking arrays, it will stop at most three stacks...... If you continue to study it, the gains will outweigh the losses.
Wang Li was very pleased with this.
In his eyes, this is the real big gain.
The other three volumes of combat skills may not be able to start trying until his physical fitness reaches a certain level.
The next week was a lackluster one.
Lao Ma didn't receive any more good orders from the grocery store, and his dragon coins had shrunk by almost 1,000 ...... It's so delicious every day.
However, these days, he started to get up early to run and exercise, and with the support of adequate food, his physical fitness has improved quite quickly.
It's just that this kind of physical fitness still can't meet the requirements of cultivating "Spiritual Energy Burst", which makes him even more convinced that he needs some professional teaching.
However, he made an unexpected breakthrough in his attempt to stack arrays, and his 'Spirit Strike Array' and 'Spirit Imperial Array' were already able to achieve three stacks, while the 'Spirit Seal Array', which lacked the guidance of professional books, was only able to break through to the second stack.
He was able to reach this level in a short period of time by his own way of self-realization, which can no longer be described simply as wisdom...... Maybe it's his talent!
The only thing that puzzled him was that the scythe had been with him for a week, but it was still in its nascent state.
Originally, Hotaru completed its evolution on the first day, and during this time, the flying sickle was also served with delicious food and drink, so why is there still no change?
Wang Li is not in a hurry, but the old horse is in a hurry, he feels that his former spiritual servant has been a bit embarrassed by his performance like this.
Just when he proposed to conduct a 'kind' special training for the scythe, another business finally came to the door.
This time, the guest was a blonde Caucasian man who introduced himself as William.
"Hello sir, Mr. Li introduced me."
William was very polite when he entered the door, and moved out of Mr. Li directly.
He speaks the dragon language very well, and at first glance he is a Westerner who has lived in the country of the dragon for a long time.
Wang Li thought that this time they might have a good housekeeping list again......
It's just that what William gives next is really surprising.
What he gave was a photo, a picture of a carpet.
The carpet in this photo looks old, and it looks dirty and obviously hasn't been cleaned in a long time.
But it's such a dirty carpet, but there is a pool of bright red blood on it!
"The carpet was handed down from my great-grandfather and was 113 years old," says William. ”
"When my grandfather died the year before last, I went back once and brought this carpet with my childhood memories back to the country of Youlong."
"But I didn't expect that something went wrong a while ago, and this red mark appeared on this carpet......"
At this time, Lao Ma suddenly interrupted his narration and asked, "Haven't you thought about cleaning the carpet first?" ”
Speaking of this, William's pupils contracted suddenly.
"Of course I tried," he said, "but no matter how many times I wash it, the rest of the carpet will not change, except for the red mark that gets brighter and brighter the more I wash it......"
"When it first appeared, it was still dull and black."
As the words fell, he took out another photo and said, "This is the photo I took when I washed it for the first time." ”
Wang Li looked at it, and the blood stains on the carpet in the photo were really dull, as if they had been dry for a while.
If William's account is correct, then there must be an evil spirit.
At this time, William said: "I am willing to pay 100,000 dragon coins for it, and if you assess the need for a price increase, I can also accept it." ”
Looks like a very generous patron.
Wang Li was a little greedy, this is a lot of money.
He wanted to say yes at the time......
But at this time, the old horse suddenly appeared from the side, reached out and held down the two photos and looked at them for a while.
He said to William, "Go and place an order with the Witcher Council, we have a retired old witcher and a young apprentice here, and we can't handle this matter for you." ”
William was stunned.
Before he could say anything, Lao Ma had already said again: "At your level, you should know about the Demon Hunting Council, right?" ”
"Go to them, there must be a powerful witcher to solve the problem for you, and we are just taking over the housekeeping work here to solve some small things by the way."
William recognized the seriousness of the problem from the old horse's serious face.
He said: "Actually, I was a little hesitant to put this collection on public display. ”
"But you're right, sir, and your words make me realize the seriousness of the problem...... Mr. Li is right, this is a reassuring place. ”
With that, he took his leave, without the slightest anger at being rejected.
On the contrary, he also felt that the gain was huge: the old horse made him realize that this was not a small incident!
Wang Li watched him leave, then looked at Lao Ma and said, "Teacher, do you see what's coming?" ”
The old horse shook his head and said, "I'm just not sure." ”
Wang Li was unexpected.
At this time, Lao Ma said meaningfully: "If you are already a four-star or even a five-star witcher, then I definitely recommend that you take this task...... It doesn't matter if there is an accident, mid-level witchers already have the ability to protect themselves. ”
"But you're only a one-star apprentice, and I'm a waste who can only take care of logistics for you."
Wang Li listened thoughtfully, and felt that he had been taught.
Suddenly, he realized something and asked, "Teacher, you said you were in charge of logistics for me?" ”
Lao Ma said with an emotional look: "I can only do this for you now, my demon hunter ability has basically been abolished, only rely on this rich experience......"
"Wait, what's your expression?"
Wang Li had a worried expression.
He really couldn't imagine what it would be like for his teacher to take care of the logistics for him.
