Chapter 17: Windfall
Lin Qi entered the soul domain game, and the game world at this time was still daytime, and this game did not seem to have a day and night setting.
The place where you log in is a corner of the Juyi Hall where you were last offline. Looking around, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the morning in the real world at this moment, and the Juyi Hall was empty, and there was not a single player. Only a few store clerk NPCs remain in the store, and since there are no customers, these clerk NPCs are doing their own thing.
Lin Qi is also interested in the intelligence and behavior of NPCs, and he seems to be able to see his mother's shadow behind every NPC.
A slender girl, wearing a goose-yellow dress and a braided hair, caught in Lin Qi's eyes. She was holding a broom and sweeping the floor of the storefront.
(Is this the national daughter-in-law Ling'er on the forum?) )
Lin Qi stepped forward to say hello as kindly as possible.
"Hello, is this Miss Ling'er?"
Ling'er turned around and raised her head to look at Lin Qi, her watery eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.
"Childe, who are you?"
"The surname is Lin, and the character's name is Po Zhanzi."
Ling'er gave a shallow salute and smiled lightly. Lin Qi saw her face, it was indeed very beautiful. Many NPCs use generic templates, so they look exactly the same, and it is impossible for game manufacturers to carefully portray every NPC. But Ling'er was obviously thoughtful.
Ling'er as a whole belongs to the gentle and lovely type. The face shape is a melon seed face, but the edges and corners are not sharp, the eyebrows are curved and delicate, the eyes are bright and clear, the nose is high and straight, the nose is round and delicate, and the lips are soft and plump. On the whole, it is the style of a little jasper, a little girl next door, or a feeling of first love.
"Thanks to your surname, otherwise I would have called you a broken son."
Looking at Ling'er's somewhat cunning eyes, Lin Qi felt that this character was more agile than he had encountered before, and that kind of agile feeling was like a living existence.
"Hehe, yes, someone called me a broken son, this is nothing. Why are you still working at this time? Isn't it time to rest? ”
"Rest? I'm just resting. At this time, the adventurers have all returned, and we are naturally resting. ”
Lin Qi looked at Ling'er thoughtfully, these two sentences seemed to reveal some secrets, but Lin Qi couldn't think clearly about the key. He looked at the girl in front of him, looking for an interactive interface. Sure enough, in the space in the lower right corner of the Eye Girl's figure, a small translucent magnifying glass was found. After clicking, the NPC interaction interface really pops up.
Su Ling'er

A bunch of detailed information below was hidden, and Lin Qi could only see the most basic character information at present. This information can't be said to be useless, but it's already powerful enough for meeting strangers in the real world.
Lin Qi and Ling'er chatted briefly for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left.
In the streets of Yingjie, only a few NPCs are bustling around, and not a single player's shadow can be seen. Lin Qi walked in the direction of the outside of the town. There was some distance from the town gate, but a voice was heard in the distance.
"Oh, brother, are you here so late?"
Lin Qi followed the sound and saw that it was a man on the tower of the town wall.
"Well, I can't sleep and come here to practice. What are you doing here? ”
The man yawned, and seemed to be a little sluggish.
"Waiting for the beast tide on duty...... We take turns on duty. ”
Lin Qi thought that what was said in the forum was that there were turns on duty, but he didn't expect it to be on duty 24 hours a day. He was inexplicably in awe of this group of players, everyone's level of playing the game was uneven, but the spirit and soul were shining and respectable.
"Good work, buddy."
Leaving the town gate, Lin Qi chose the opposite direction to the novice village, which was the other side of the dead wood forest.
Lin Qi felt that it was better to be cautious, find the wild wolf in the dead wood forest, and test the effect of swordsmanship learning. At this time, Lin Qi still had the original long sword left in his backpack.
A wild wolf rushed towards Lin Qifei, Lin Qi took a step sideways, leaned forward, stepped out, and rushed forward with a horizontal sword.
One wolf staggered past each other, and the long sword slashed through the wolf's flank, killing it directly.
Lin Qi knew that this was the result of training, but the reason was also that he was very familiar with the attack methods of wild wolves. After killing 2 more wild wolves, Lin Qi verified the results.
The swordsmanship training has improved his swordsmanship proficiency, and his footwork and timing during the battle have also been strengthened. But if it's just to deal with less intelligent monsters, then you don't really need to be very skillful. As long as you are familiar with the monster's attack and then counter it, you can get results.
The really difficult thing is PVP, and the confrontation between players is definitely not like a monster, it is a real battle. Lin Qi is not in a hurry, he does not accumulate steps, he cannot lead to thousands of miles, he does not accumulate small streams, and he cannot become rivers and seas. If you want to change from a novice swordsman to an expert or even an expert, this is also a matter of hard work.
Lin Qi took out the White Wolf King's horizontal sword, he decided not to consider whether it was swordsmanship or sword art, or what weapons to use in the future, he believed that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely have accumulation. One law can be used in all laws, and it should also be applicable in this field of combat.
The biggest difference between a horizontal sword and a long sword is that it only has a one-sided blade, so when attacking, you can only use the blade to meet the enemy. He's also seen attacks with the back of a knife, but it's only a special move for a special period.
Lin Qi hasn't unlocked the function of viewing the attributes of props, so he doesn't know how much the specific attributes of this horizontal knife have improved so far. So he planned to use wild wolves for testing.
When he used his long sword before, he directly attacked the wolf's head in front of him, but was pounced on by the wolf. This time, he wanted to try to see if the slash of the horizontal knife could directly kill the wolf.
Lin Qi found a wild wolf and retreated continuously at the moment it pounced. When the wolf was about to land, a powerful slash slashed directly into the wolf's head. This time, the effect was immediate, and the wolf was directly killed.
(Oh, it works well.) In addition to the knife itself being good at chopping, the attributes of this weapon itself should also account for a lot of proportions. )
Continued to kill 3 wild wolves, and Lin Qi's experience was upgraded to level 6.
Now Lin Qi felt that his success rate and speed in killing the wild wolf were already very good, and the experience provided by this wild wolf was also very impressive. In fact, it can be upgraded by killing a large number of wild wolves, which is the traditional method of upgrading the monster farm. But the number of wild wolves itself became a bottleneck.
The wild wolves in the dead wood forest are not dense, there are a few scattered ones, and they do not spawn quickly. Killing too fast will cause a gap to occur. Therefore, Lin Qi felt that if he wanted to increase the speed of upgrading, he still had to find a place with a dense concentration of monsters.
Lin Qi opened the combat skill disk and added a new combat skill point, he had already studied how to add points. In the existing combo direction, there are still two branches, which are still the distinction between agility and strength, but the important thing is the active skill in the back.
The skill behind the agility line is to pick up and slash, and the backhand pick-up attack, dealing 100% weapon damage to the enemy, and the chance to cause the enemy to float.
This move is a very standard transitional move, or it can be said to be a functional move. The action itself is small, and there is a high probability that it can only attack the enemy in front of you. But it should be possible to connect with the combo to form a small combo. The accompanying levitation effect is an addition. Lin Qi couldn't judge how likely this so-called probability was.
The skill behind the power line is an arc slash that swings sideways with a backhand that deals 80% weapon damage to enemies.
This move looks like an area attack, and all enemies in front of you can take damage. May produce good results in group battles. But the work will look bigger, and the flaws will increase accordingly. It's not a move that Lin Qi has in mind that can produce consecutive sections.
So the choice is very clear, Lin Qi needs to quickly farm monsters to upgrade at this stage, and the crispy body of the samurai can't let him face multiple monsters alone. Then the best choice for Lin Qi is to pick and choose.
After finishing the learning of combat skills, Lin Qi walked to the north.
On the north side of the Dead Wood Forest, there is a group of mountain bandits, who appear in the bounty board of the Juyi Hall all year round, and are one of the main enemies on the side of Yingjie Town. This was the first time Lin Qi had encountered a humanoid monster, and his heart was a little heavy. He didn't know if these humanoid monsters were also intelligent, and if they also had the level of intelligence of NPCs in the city, it would be amazing.
While killing the wild wolves, I walked to the bottom of the mountain peak in a short time, and I could see the camp between the mountain peaks in the distance, and the road up the mountain was in front of me. There are some mountain bandits patrolling scattered around the periphery, and mountain bandits can be vaguely seen on mountain roads.
The task only required to kill 5 mountain bandit scouts, but Lin Qi didn't know which one was the scout. He watched from afar and decided to try it step by step from the side.
Most of the mountain bandits on the periphery were armed with scimitars and dressed in soft armor, and their appearance was exactly the same. The big stone in Lin Qi's heart finally landed, and it seemed that the intelligence of the wild monster would be relatively low, and it would not be possible to feel guilty of killing.
After finding a target, Lin Qi clenched his horizontal knife, and after getting a little closer, he rushed towards the mountain bandits. A vertical leap and a strong slash, this is a move that Lin Qi has never used, but he subconsciously feels that the knife should be cut like this to bring strength.
When Lin Qi was about to approach, the mountain bandits had already entered a combat state. When he saw Lin Qi's slash, he raised the knife high above his head and crossed it in front of him.
Bite!
The two knives collided, making a crisp crashing sound. However, due to Lin Qi's strong move, he broke through the mountain bandit's defense, but the blade still shifted to the side and slashed at the mountain bandit's left shoulder.
Mountain bandits are not living beings, and they do not have the concept of pain. Although his left shoulder was chopped, the scimitar in his right hand was still clenched in his hand, and he swung it at Lin Qi with a horizontal backhand.
Lin Qi's last move was too strong, and he couldn't accept it, so he had to jump back violently. The scimitar grazed Lin Qi's chest, and Lin Qi felt a trace of pain, making sure that he was also injured.
The mountain bandit's move was quite powerful, causing the empty door in his chest to open wide, and Lin Qi seized this opportunity. Changing the split to a stab, the whole person rushed forward, and the horizontal knife pierced the mountain bandit's chest.
The mountain bandit was directly knocked out by the strength of this knife, and Lin Qi rushed forward with him, which was the footwork he had practiced. However, the bandit did not get up again after falling to the ground, and the system also prompted him to gain experience points.
Lin Qi took the first kill of the mountain bandit scout, and although the battle ended quickly, he was still wounded. Lin Qi reflected on the battle process he had just faced, although he was not familiar with the AI and moves of the mountain bandits in advance, but how many opportunities did he have to understand the opponent when he was facing the enemy normally?
Having said that, if your own slash is a living person, then the battle must be over, but this is the game, and there will still be unreal situations. Overall, if he would be injured or lack of cultivation, Lin Qi still faced up to his problems.
But in any case, you still need to be familiar with the enemy's moves, and rapid leveling up is the most important thing.
Lin Qi found a new mountain bandit, approached the enemy and let him enter the battle, he began to observe and dodge the mountain bandits' attacks.
The mountain bandits unexpectedly only had two moves, vertical slash and horizontal slash, and this intelligence seemed to be lower than that of the wild wolf. Lin Qi was a little curious, and after dodging several times in a row, he tried to attack the mountain bandits.
Only then did I find out the problem, the mountain bandits did not have only two moves, and using a knife to resist the attack should also be regarded as a very important move. And unlike attacks, the way and timing of attacks are fixed, but there are many ways to fend off attacks. Strictly speaking, it should be at a reasonable speed and angle, you can try to do low.
Weak offensively, but strong defensively. This is Lin Qi's parity for this wild monster. Unlike beasts, which attack brainlessly, humanoid characters will judge offense and defense based on the situation. It seems that the aggression alone is not as good as that of the wolf, but in fact, it has improved on both offensive and defensive sides.
This is really an interesting practice object, although it is not as varied as a real person, but for Lin Qi, this is simply a send-off.
