Probably to allow players who have just entered the Mysterious Tower to quickly equip the skills they have already mastered. The first five levels can be upgraded very quickly.
The experience requirement increased from 100 to 500. After Ji Xing cleared out a pack of wolves, he was easily upgraded to level 6, with 6 skill columns. The experience required for further upgrades suddenly increased tenfold.
Level: 6 (100/5000)
With this kind of value, it would already take some time to find and level up wolves, so Ji Xing stopped leveling up and first selected a few skills to install.
Ji Xingliu fighting skills:? ? ? level (full level, or cannot be upgraded)
Psychic ability (Qi): Extreme (Level 4) (630,000/800,000)
Psychic ability (human): Extreme (level 7) (730,000/1.4 million)
Psychic ability (highlight the health bar): Extreme (level 2) (190,000/400,000)
Coupled with his initial absolute strength, Ji Xing has basically inherited all his strength from the Hunter Continent, and has a skill bar left as a backup.
He returned to Argo, who had "led" him to upgrade, and said, "It's been a long wait."
“No…wait soon.”
It’s only been a few minutes. Recalling his experience of being pecked and cried by a chicken when he first entered the game, and then looking at Ji Xing in front of him, Argo felt that there shouldn't be such a big gap between people, right?
"Did you do any special practice before entering the game?" She asked, then shook her head: "No, in the Tower of Mystery, players do not ask each other about what happened before entering the game. This is an established rule. You don't have to answer me."
After sorting out her emotions, she regained her composure and said: "Judging from the numbers, you should have reached level six. Every five is a hurdle in the Mysterious Tower. Bosses at levels like 25 and 30 will be particularly powerful, even It will be more difficult to deal with than the 26th and 31st floors, and the difficulty will increase many times every time it passes level 5.
These are basic information. Have you understood it before entering the Mysterious Tower? "
“Not much.” Ji Xing said, “Thanks for letting me know.”
"No need, it's all basic information." Argo said: "When you join a guild, someone will naturally tell you this. I, Argo the Rat, never do business at a loss. Now... let me introduce it to you. Come to the guild?"
"Okay, please give me a recommendation." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Come to think of it, how come the conversation between the two of us sounds like a new player and a guide NPC?"
"Huh?" Argo was startled, but also smiled: "You put it vividly, I am just earning the hard work of guiding NPCs.
Hmm, let me think about it. For you, you don’t need to consider small guilds. I will directly introduce you to several big guilds in the game, and you can see which one suits you better. "
"First of all, there is no way around it, the army. You also know the situation on the other side of reality. The army is the largest player guild in the entire Tower of Mystery, with about 30,000 people, nearly half of whom are real soldiers. Tell me the truth. I don’t like them very much because they are too arrogant, strict and unkind, but it is undeniable that they are the main force in conquering the mysterious tower.
With your innate conditions, you should be able to be promoted to mid- to high-level quickly after joining, so you don’t need to worry about these. They also have the most complete newcomer training mechanism, which are all advantages.
The disadvantage is that their actions are occasionally radical, and they cannot refuse orders from their superiors, even if it costs you death. Everything they do is based on achieving the best interests. "
"If you introduce them like this, I will definitely put them as the last candidates." Ji Xing said with a smile.
"Because I have absolutely no confidence in getting the introduction fee from them." Feeling that Ji Xing is a joker and has become a little more familiar with him, Argo playfully said: "But please believe in my professionalism. There’s no exaggeration.”
“Well, I believe it, what else?”
“Then there’s the ‘Sword Art Online’ guild. You also know what’s going on here. The first 10,000 players planned to play SAO, which is Sword Art Online, but they didn’t expect to be teleported here.
To commemorate this event, several of the most senior Mystery Tower players jointly founded the 'Sword Art Online' guild. Many of them have not fallen behind in the past two and a half years and have been the main force of the strategy team. Their personal combat effectiveness is even ahead of the top military leaders. .
However, they are polarized from the army. Their organization is relatively loose. They are basically divided into small groups of friends who are upgrading and practicing. They only gather together when defeating the boss.
If you want to enjoy the game, joining them is the best choice. If you are lucky enough to join a high-quality team, you will not only be able to make some brothers, but you may also gain love. "
Argo snickered twice and added: "Of course there are shortcomings. Being loose means that it lacks management. It is inevitable that the members will be mixed, and it is normal to encounter some annoying guys."
Ji Xing nodded understandingly.
Argo raised three fingers: "The third one is the Mysterious Research Society. This involves another piece of valuable information. Do you know that after clearing 100 floors, players can bring the power and treasures here back to reality. Given the rumors, why is the country so enthusiastic about the game Raiders?"
Ji Xingpeng said: "Why?"
"Because some of the treasures here are so real that they can be reproduced in reality. The initial 20 floors are not counting the novice floors for us to adapt to. Starting from the 21st floor, along with dangerous monsters and monsters, basically every floor has something that does not exist in reality. of treasure.
Fertilizers that can greatly increase crop yields, liquids that burn more than a hundred times more efficiently than known fuels, magical tree sap that can detoxify all toxins... Even if you can't take them out, some principles of composition and decomposition are analyzed here, which can help you understand the reality. technology has advanced. "
The treasure of the dark continent? It turned out to be this way in the mysterious tower.
Then the disaster must be a difficult problem.
Will this be a condensed dark continent?
Ji Xing was thinking in his mind.
Argo continued: "So there are many great scientists gathered in the Mysterious Research Society, and the military occasionally listens to their orders. You must know the name of the president, it is Kayaba who developed the virtual reality game Akihiko!”
“It’s him.” Ji Xing nodded. This person is a rare Aizen type character.
"Well, of course, if you join the Mysterious Research Society, you won't be forced to do research like this. Those experts will occasionally need someone to guide them for leveling and protection. They usually have a lot of free time, and they can obtain most treasures most easily. , the speed and safety of strength improvement can be guaranteed.”
“Sounds pretty good.” Ji Xing said.
Argo smiled: "Of course, I am the innocent Argo of the Rat. If these three guilds are not satisfied, there is also the fourth place, you can choose the 'Holy Dragon Alliance'..."
“The fifth one is probably ‘The Bow that Shoots the Sun’…”
While introducing the guild information to Ji Xing, the two returned to the initial town.
Walking back to the Black Iron Palace, Argo's explanation finally came to an end. She clapped her hands, looked up at Ji Xing and said, "Okay, there are basically so many best choices. Which one do you like the most? I will follow them now. Contact the president.”
Ji Xing thought for a while and said: "In these words, the Mysterious Research Society sounds best, but... Argo, which guild are you in?"
Argo was startled: "Me? I'm just an information merchant. Of course I won't be in the most advanced guilds. I built a small guild of my own. There are only about twenty merchants of various kinds in the guild, and some high-level Cooperate with other life players and make a living among the big guilds.”
"Treasure Rat..." Argo blinked: "No, you are not planning to join my guild, are you?!"
“That’s exactly what I meant!” Ji Xing said with a smile. ah? Then who will pay my introduction fee?
Myself? !
And with your innate conditions, you don’t look like a businessman at all! Who dares to buy something from you, even if the transaction fails? !
Argo is messy in the wind.
“When I first entered the game, I didn’t want to invest in the intense upgrading training. I wanted to enjoy this unique world.” Ji Xing explained: “How much introduction fee can you charge for introducing me to the Grand Guild?”
"Branch guild, about...1 million kel." Argo said with his head slightly confused.
"Then you do this." Ji Xing said: "Let's sign a contract and let me join your guild. Within half a year, if I don't plan to join other guilds, I will give you 5 million col.
If I want to change jobs midway, you can charge a "transfer fee". You can negotiate it yourself. How much is yours, and I will cooperate with you. When my level and strength are improved, I will definitely be able to 'sell' it at a better price, right? "
…”
I take back my previous thoughts. This guy looks tall and thick, and he can be a businessman.
The ability to persuade people is first-rate.
But you can’t deceive me, Argo of the Rat. This sounds really beneficial and harmless, but there are two risks - the Mysterious Tower is a high-risk game after all. In half a year, either you or I can play it at any time. It is possible to die in the game!
If I die, everything will be over.
And you...in order to prevent you from dying and get that money, I have to take care of you a little bit. The free information may be worth 5 million cols, so in fact, this transaction...is what he is doing to you. I take information on credit.
But at the same time, my guild also has the opportunity to gain a powerful warrior... Although it's not very useful, it doesn't seem to be a disadvantage?
She thought for a while and said, "Did you plan to join my guild or a guild like mine from the beginning?"
“Half and half. If there is a guild that I am very interested in, I will go there.”
Argo groaned, thought silently for a moment, and once again extended his hand to Ji Xing: "Okay, I'm convinced by you. You are welcome to join my Treasure Hunting Rat Guild. Shall we sign a contract?"
"okay."
According to what Ji Xing said, the two drew up a contract to sign in a house similar to a notary office. They were bound by the rules of the Mysterious Tower and reached an agreement.
“Then, where do you think I should start to enjoy the game? President Argo.” Ji Xing asked with a smile as he walked out of the notary office.
Algo was silent and muttered softly: "I have really become a guide NPC."
Forget it, we are all brothers from our own guild!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but give Ji Xing a small roll of her eyes and smiled herself: "Of course the first thing to do is to improve your strength.
You should have discovered that level improvement in the Mystery Tower game does not bring any "free attribute points" like traditional games. You can improve by adding points. This is a real world, and we need to practice by ourselves.
The functions of level are, firstly, to unlock the skill bar, and secondly, to increase the upper limit of skill level. Why do I say that it is rare and amazing that you initially have level 4 strength? Because normally, your skill level at level 1 can only be level 1 at the highest level.
Different skills correspond to different skills. Let's compare it with strength. Basically, you can unlock the upper limit of level 1 every 3 levels. That is, if the player level is 4, strength can be upgraded to level 2. If the player level is 7, strength can be upgraded to level 3. And so on.
But this is not a dead rule. Some players can break the rules of the system after years of practice or their own talents. The most elite group in the strategy team are basically in this category. They have skill levels that exceed the player level restrictions and have their own 'mysteries'. "
“So I am gifted with so much transcendence, and you say my talent is amazing.” Ji Xing said.
"That's it." Argo said: "There are some who are more exaggerated than you. For example, those scientists may have level 8 or 9 biology skills when they come in, but those who are initially strong at level 4, at least so far, I am still the third I heard about it once. If it weren’t for your convincing physique and white teeth, I probably wouldn’t believe it at all.”
Ji Xing smiled, this is the super number.
“There is another benefit of having a high level. It can improve our talent and understanding, and speed up our practice. As for the practice I have been talking about..."
Argo pointed out his hand and said while leading the way: "Not everyone is like you. When you first enter the game, killing wolves is like stepping on ants. The reason why ordinary players can fight against some powerful monsters depends entirely on the cultivation of two extraordinary abilities. .”
“Shield warriors, sword wielders, and archers are all professions named by our players themselves. In the Tower of Mystery, all players have only two training directions—Qi and Ling!”
"Qi is also called mind, and it pays more attention to itself. It turns thoughts and body essence into energy. After learning, you can awaken all kinds of strange mind abilities. It has applications in all aspects. It is more successful in tricks and strategies. It’s a brain job.”
"As for spirit, it is spiritual power. It seems to be related to the invisible and intangible soul. It is also a mysterious force in the body. It is simpler and rougher when fighting, and it is easier to have powerful destructive power than those who cultivate Qi. Each has its own merits. Director."
Spiritual power? Ji Xing's heart was filled with excitement. Is this the training system of a different race in the Dark Continent?
“Among players, the ratio of those who cultivate Qi to those who cultivate Spirit is about 1:3. If you have confidence in yourself and like to win prizes, you can learn Qi. Otherwise, learn Ling. I can’t give you any advice on this.”
She gestured to the distance: "The two over there are the real novice guides."
Ji Xing turned the corner with her and looked over. He saw two figures standing opposite each other in a square, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The two 'teachers' are a man and a woman, or a pair of old men and women. The man wears a traditional kimono, has a ponytail, a thick beard, elongated earlobes, and muscular muscles... This is not Nitro, the president of the Hunter Association. Who could it be? !
But it has no sense of intelligence and no sense of power at all. It is obviously just a replica NPC created by the rules of the Mysterious Tower... It is quite appropriate for Nitro, a representative figure in the hunter world, to serve as Nian's instructor here.
What surprised Ji Xing was another person.
Her height is only about 1.5 meters, with slightly graying pink hair. She wears a red cape and white martial arts uniform. Her face is wrinkled and has a few age spots, but it is not difficult to see that she was definitely a beauty when she was young.
“The one on the left is the docile Grandpa Nitro, a perverted old man who will give young and beautiful girl players some preferential treatment.”
“The one on the right is Granny Huan Hai, who teaches spiritual power. She is a very strict person and will give some preferential treatment to kind-hearted or decent players.”
Argo introduced.
Mother-in-law Huanhai…
Ji Xing couldn’t help but raise his hand and press his eyebrows. Dark Continent and Sword Art Online are not enough, why is there something about "Yu Yu Hakusho" in this? !
