Chapter 41: Losing the First Place

Ordinary players have different opinions about this, but the mainstream conjecture can be summed up in just a few points, either deliberately keeping a low level to get more generous rewards, or investing all the experience points in public forums and making it impossible to level up, or not wanting to attract the attention of NPC forces.

In the circle of high-end players, the "combat power theory" was once prevalent.

The so-called "theory of combat power only" is, in a nutshell, to put the importance of combat power far above factors such as rank, equipment, and skills, or to simply believe that the latter is to serve the former.

The best proof to support this view is that no matter how fierce the competition for the top spot in the ranks, it will never be able to shake the position of reincarnation on the power list.

In his previous life, Lin Xi also agreed with this theory at first, but later began to perceive the existence of "potential boundaries".

For example, Lin Xi's current total attribute value of naked clothing has reached an astonishing 105 points, if anyone can see Lin Xi's attribute panel at this time, they will definitely be shocked by the gorgeous values on it, if it weren't for the clear writing on the level that there is only level 5, this six-dimensional attribute is taken out, anyone will think that this is the attribute of at least a third-order professional (level 11-15).

But this is only compared to the player, the same or even stronger strength than Lin Xi at the same level, and there are still some in the NPC camp and monsters.

For example, high-ranking demons, high elves, legendary dragons, and even descendants or voters of gods, as long as their bloodline is pure, they may be born with a second, third, or even legendary rank. However, such existence is very rare, or hidden or said to have gone to an unknown plane, and most of the people who are active in this world are the bloodline descendants left by these higher races.

Even so, with the background of these bloodline descendants, their strength at the same level is not comparable to most player professionals.

Taking the demons of the Bottomless Abyss as an example, only before the second order, the low-level demons with a total attribute of more than 100 would be suppressed by the great demons at their top.

In other words, these demons with a total attribute of more than 100 points at the first order have great potential, and there is a possibility of being promoted to a high-ranking demon.

Other races are not far behind, and there may be fluctuations due to the racial potential gap, but the fluctuation will not be too large.

And many top players in their previous lives, including Lin Xi, believe that this potential boundary may also exist among players.

Because the attribute points brought by the same level upgrade are the same, the additional attribute points obtained determine the player's skills, specialties and even talents, the amount and strength of equipment.

And this advantage under the same level is more obvious at the higher level.

For the same object, players with high potential can crush or even leapfrog the challenge, while players with low potential can only adopt crowd tactics.

After the rise of this theory, battle towers scattered all over the world also had another function, which was to measure the potential of the player.

The challenge mode in the Battle Tower is absolutely fair and impartial, with almost all distractions eliminated, and being able to pass higher levels in this case means that the higher the potential of the player at the same level, the stronger the combat power.

The biggest advantage of players over NPCs is the speed of leveling up, NPCs call players the Chosen One with great potential, but the player's disadvantage is also here.

Sacrificing potential for the sake of upgrade speed will reach the bottleneck early, and it will take several times the time and effort to make up for it.

However, most people are not aware of the existence of potential boundaries, which is one of the biggest reasons why players in previous lives leveled up quickly but never shook the cycle of reincarnation.

However, the arrival of the monster also chases the survivors like death, and in the face of survival, everything is secondary, even if the vision is long-term, the future has to be sacrificed for the present.

For Lin Xi, the boundaries of potential also exist, but they are not that important.

Backed by Pandora and possessing dimensional predation and leaping abilities, Lin Xi's potential is almost unlimited.

Of course, this does not mean that Lin Xi can squander his potential unscrupulously, but he will strike a balance between competing for the first place in the level and enhancing the foundation.

The first reward Lin Xi is bound to get, and a high level is not only a disadvantage.

In the case of Warlocks, for example, their spell slots are scarce, and the spell ring level is also fixed, with a level 3 Warlock slot having 6 spells per day for 2 rings and a level 5 Warlock slot having 6 spells per day for 3 rings.

For the Warlock, although increasing the level does not increase the spell slot much, it can increase the spell ring level. Casting a low ring spell with a high ring spell slot will produce a rising ring cast effect, which greatly increases the spell effect.

Moreover, the comprehension of high-ring spells, as well as the acquisition of magic energy invocation and mystical secret methods, all require the support of the level.

High levels can also facilitate access to more resources, and many NPC forces, churches or guild organizations, if they want to reach a relatively core circle, they must reach at least the second level to meet the threshold.

In general, there are pros and cons to raising the level too quickly, depending on which path the player chooses and whether they can make good use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Lin Xi retracted his thoughts, the current physique is 15, and there are 5 free attribute points, it is time to completely solve the hidden dangers in the body.

Lin Xi did not hesitate to put all the attribute points into his physique.

“…… When you reach 20 in the Constitution Stat, you gain the Extraordinary Specialty "Physique". ”

"Strong Physique": You have an otherworldly physique. All tests related to Constitution attributes add +10, Max Health, Stamina, Stamina: +15%, and 10% damage waiver

"Isn't it a severed limb and reborn?" Lin Xi raised his eyebrows.

In his previous life, Lin Xi's physique reached transcendence, and the specialty he gained was "Broken Limb Rebirth", the effect is the ability to regenerate, even if the limb is broken, it can grow back in time.

However, everyone's extraordinary expertise is different, as far as Lin Xi knows, there are at least three possibilities: "extraordinary charm", "extraordinary charm", and "extraordinary affinity".

Generally speaking, the expertise obtained by players is the most suitable for themselves, perhaps because Lin Xi already has the ability to regenerate, so he has not obtained the rebirth of severed limbs.

However, Lin Xi is also very satisfied with the effect of "Strengthening the Body", the upper limit of health, physical strength and stamina are attributes that any player can never overdo, and the immunity from damage has greatly enhanced Lin Xi's survivability.

After waiting for a while, the system no longer sounds.

Lin Xi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

If it weren't reasonable to be the first player to break through the transcendent physique, then it would be unexpected to lose the first place in the three attributes to reach the transcendental.

Some talented people have an initial physique attribute of 18, and it is easy to reach 20 points, Lin Xi's initial physique is too bad, and it is natural to fight.

But the three attributes are extraordinary is not something that ordinary people can do, and it is in just six days.

Reincarnation, Lin Xi can only think of this one person.

As the first player in his previous life, the mystery and power of reincarnation have long been deeply ingrained in the minds of other players.

It can be said that nearly half of Lin Xi's first place was originally reincarnated.

He/she is the only one who can catch up without losing these first places.

"It's not to be underestimated......

Lin Xi didn't feel annoyed, on the contrary, she was very interested in reincarnation and was very much looking forward to fighting with it.

Of course, apart from the battle tower battle mode, it is difficult for players from different regions to meet each other.

The first large public dungeon, the Lord of Gold's Cube Maze, will also be opened after a while.

Before that, the competition for the first place and the public forum that will be activated soon are their main battlefields.
