Chapter 15: The Return
Mr. Arcade was slightly stunned, and then returned to his smile: "Gladly - of course, we will charge a service fee of 30% on top of the sale price." ”
"Fifty percent." The corners of Lin Xi's eyes bent, "I only need fifty percent." ”
The plan to hand over the tarot cards to Mr. Arcade was a long-made plan, and as the first universal map discovered by players in previous lives, battle towers were found in all cities, and the customers naturally included elite players from all continents and countries.
Those who can stand out among the seven billion players and be the first to clear the battle tower to obtain the right to purchase goods are not much different from the handful of top players who are not the strongest in terms of comprehensive combat power, they can quickly adapt to the environment, and have advanced awareness and unique vision.
Then, these super-rare things that are unique in Mr. Arcade's merchandise list will naturally not be let go by them.
As for whether the tarot cards will be bound after buying, Lin Xi never doubts the treacherous cunning of the devil and the power to seduce people's hearts, and fully understands the desire for power of top players.
“…… Thank you for your generosity. The dark wings curled up behind Mr. Arcade's back stretched slightly, showing the pleasure of his owner, "So, do you need anything else?" ”
Lin Xi still had 93150 experience points left, thought about it for a while, smashed most of the experience, and purchased the skill cultivation scrolls of rolling, survival, riding, stealth, jumping, hiding, escaping, climbing, and balancing.
In the cultivation mode of Battle Tower and Skill Tower, improving skills can break class and level restrictions.
The normal skill level limit rule is that the skill level of this skill cannot exceed the level of the class level 2 or above, and the cross-class skill level cannot exceed one-half of the player's class level.
In other words, even if Lin Xi is trained in cross-skilled skills such as stealth, medical treatment, and stealing, he can only be promoted to level 2 at the most.
Take stealth as an example, there is no level 5 or above, there is no way to sneak in the move, below level 10 is like a snail, there is no level 20 or 30 stealth, and the wanderer is embarrassed to call himself a wanderer.
Another example is stealing, it is basically impossible to take the other party's pocket unknowingly below level 20.
The same is true for other class skills, which can only be achieved satisfactorily at a higher level.
The skill level of the previous life once became a limitation for many players to improve their strength, and it was not until the release of the skill tower and the battle tower that the embarrassing situation of classes such as the wanderer who relied heavily on skills was alleviated.
But if you want to break the rules and restrictions, it will come at a high cost.
Lin Xi gave priority to purchasing skill cultivation scrolls to improve physical fitness, athleticism and survivability, and less than 20,000 of the more than 90,000 experience points were left for backup.
Other skills such as rope skills, using magic devices, hand skills, searching, disarming devices, crafts, spell recognition, bluffing, gathering information, etc., can only be purchased later when you have more experience points to spare.
Of course, even with a cultivation scroll and enough skill points, improving the skill level is not a matter of an instant, and it takes a lot of energy and physical strength.
Lin Xi spent three hours, surviving, rolling, and jumping to cultivate to level 5 at dawn in the outside world, and most of his physical strength had already dropped.
Coupled with the dozens of high-intensity battles before, although it was in the form of a phantom, it still consumed a lot of Lin Xi's spirit.
So Lin Xi rested in the cultivation room until it was close to noon, and only left the combat training camp after his physical strength and spirit were fully recovered.
……
Hangzhou University, administrative building.
After Lin Xi and Anna left, many students fled to the government building under the pursuit of the walking corpses, and the gathering of the crowd attracted the attack of the walking corpses, and after symbolic resistance, the defense was declared broken.
In front of the frightened and hideous looking walking corpses, the students who had lived in peacetime for a long time could not afford to resist at all, and the moment the gate was broken, everyone fled to the second floor in a panic.
Fortunately, the walking corpse has stiff joints and cannot climb stairs, so it can only swing on the first floor. But this also blocked everyone's escape path and fell into a state of isolation.
Until Anna returns, fights her way out of the walking corpse, and joins the people upstairs.
When they heard movement coming from downstairs, several bold students gathered around the staircase to look down.
Seeing Anna, who was holding a dagger and her clothes stained with the blood of walking corpses, walked up step by step, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
Anna ignored it and went straight into the hall on the second floor, and was relieved when she saw Gu Jianai leaning against the wall with her legs held unharmed.
Glancing around, there were about twenty people in total, and under everyone's frightened and somewhat hopeful gaze, Anna slowly spoke:
"This world has become a doomsday playground, and if you want to survive, you can only kill monsters."
……
However, even if Anna lent the spear that the gnoll had burst out and escorted it herself, only about half of them mustered up the courage to go downstairs and try to kill the monster, most of them trembled and couldn't even hold the spear steadily, and even closed their eyes and shot indiscriminately, almost injuring Anna.
This is normal, not everyone is born again, and not everyone can adapt to this world that collapsed in an instant as quickly as Anna.
Thinking of the indicators that Lin Xi handed over to her before leaving, Anna gritted her teeth and carried out this extremely inefficient task.
Until the sun went down, only six or seven people killed a walking corpse and successfully landed.
As night fell, under the darkness, no one dared to go down and kill monsters.
It is worth mentioning that after the loading of "Earth Online", all the food, weapons and most of the modern industrial products in the world disappeared, and the current earth fell into absolute darkness.
In this way, for the sake of safety, more than two dozen people rested in the hall where they could not see their fingers.
At first, Anna was among them, until late at night there were loud snoring sounds around her, mixed with low whimpering and sobbing, and even someone suddenly sat up and yelled, and realized that it was a dream before falling back asleep.
Anna couldn't stand it anymore, so she dragged Gu Jianai, who also couldn't sleep, into an office at the other end, and then slowly fell asleep.
……
There was an unusual sound in her ears, and Anna opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a brown-red monster lying by the window, quietly looking at herself.
"It's me."
Just as Anna grabbed the dagger, the pseudo-dragon "Lin" opened its mouth and let out Lin Xi's voice.
"How many levels?"
Hearing Lin Xi's voice, Anna put down the dagger, and looked at Lin, who was covered in red scales, with wings on her back, and a slender tail, Anna swallowed her saliva before she spoke: "More than a thousand experience is needed to upgrade to level 2." ”
"What about those people?"
"Thirteen people have successfully landed, but no one has started a combat profession yet."
"It's too slow, I'm going to get a copy tonight, and in addition to you, I need three people who open the career template, no matter what the profession is."
With that, Lynn closed her mouth full of sharp fangs, shook her small head, and then spread her wings and flew into the sky, disappearing from Anna's vision.
