014 New Apostles
The next day, Zhou Jing stayed in the rental house all day, sorted out the process of traveling through the astral world, and got a clear concept.
He divided the currently known process into four stages according to the order of the process - pinching, shuttling, cooling, and death.
Pinching is to create the astral apostle to be used next. By inheriting slots for free or consuming astral points, you can customize the body of the walking plane and match various attributes.
During the shuttle stage, one's own consciousness is transferred to the astral apostle and walks in the plane in person, with assistance such as practice acceleration and achievement rewards.
During the cooling stage, the consciousness returns to the original body, and the shuttle waits for the cooldown to pass before the next shuttle. During this period, the astral apostle can move automatically in the placement mode.
The shuttle and cooling stages are interspersed with each other as the main links.
Time is passing in both the main world and the star world, but due to the difference in flow speed, one side is passing fast and the other is passing slowly.
Therefore, each time you travel, you can set the time spent by the body, which is converted into the stay time of personally controlling the astral apostle.
Because the main body is also spending time during the shuttle, it generally does not take too long. Zhou Jing thinks it can be used to replace most of the sleeping time.
In this way, through the cooperation of arrival and placement, the career of the astral apostle will be continuously extended, allowing him to move in the plane for a longer period of time.
If the Astral Apostle dies, he will enter the final death stage, perform career settlement, and obtain free inheritance slots.
Inherit part of the apostle's practice results to the next apostle for free, and then return to the initial pinching stage and repeat the process.
"As for clearing the level, I haven't completed it yet. I don't know the form yet. I'll have to look at it later... But according to the information received, it should be similar to the death stage, but there is no need to re-pin people, and you can continue to control the astral apostle activities of clearing the level.
."
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed as he sorted out the general situation.
He glanced at the time and saw that twenty-four hours had passed and the new Astral Apostle template had been generated.
He exhaled a breath and prepared for the shuttle.
"Enter!"
…
Buzz——
When the consciousness enters the shuttle preparation space, it is still the same galaxy, with the fluorescent panel quietly suspended in the center.
Zhou Jing raised his eyes and saw the content above.
[New astral apostle template has been generated (number 002)]

——
[Number of free resets for all templates: 0]
[Number of free resets for specified parameters: 2]
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed and he looked at the template parameters carefully.
The requirements for clearing the second template are 30 points higher than the previous one, and the difficulty of completing the life goal has increased at first glance, but it seems to be still within the acceptable range.
"Say, this time the template seems to have no talent?"
Zhou Jing noticed this.
He opened the "Record Illustrated Book" and found that the talent illustrated book currently only had "Will Wood's" [Cleverness], and inheriting it to a new template actually cost 500 astral points.
There are currently 1,477 star boundary points accumulated. 500 points are not cheap. Zhou Jing simply gave the first designated reset opportunity to the talent.
[The current template talent is being reset...the reset is complete, the changes are as follows]
[You gain the talent [Tenacious] (reduces the impact of injuries on actions)]
"It seems that this is suitable for hard fighting... If you have this talent when you are attacked by the Earth Bone Man, you will probably be able to escape on your own if you are hit by an arrow, without the need for Baron to rescue you."
Zhou Jing analyzed the effect, thought about it, and then threw the second designated reset to the qualification.
[The current template qualification is being reset...the reset is complete, and the changes are as follows]
[Resistance [light green] → [green], sword skill [light green] → [green], other results remain unchanged]
"It's all growing, I'm lucky."
Zhou Jing was overjoyed.
Physical fitness, resistance, sword skills... all green, all green!
This time, three items are green, and the qualifications are better than the last apostle.
After using up the two free reset opportunities, Zhou Jing took a look and found that he could continue to reset by spending star boundary points.
However, a designated reset requires 200 points once, and an overall reset requires 1,000 points once, and the costs increase progressively. He currently has no intention of continuing to reset.
Now that he has a stock of star boundary points in his hand, he can further select people. He is ready to try out the degree of customization.
"Let me see what it means to pay someone to seduce someone."
Zhou Jing rubbed his hands excitedly.
He operated it, and a message popped up on the panel:
[To improve the attributes, qualifications, talents, and skills of the template, you need to convert the star boundary points into freely allocated points, with a ratio of 100:1]
[Point limit for this template: 0/500]
[Tip: The template point limit means that when the current template is converted to freely allocate points, the upper limit of the star boundary points that can be invested]
[This limit depends on the rarity of the template (basic limit), and the astral shuttle energy level (multiplier bonus)...the higher the two, the more astral apostles generated by the template can receive more astral energy enhancement]
"So that's it? Astral apostles with different rarities have different limits of what they can endure..."
Zhou Jing scratched his head.
It seems that template rarity also means "capacity". Once too many star boundary points are injected, it will be full.
The scope of this limit only uses astral points to enhance attributes, qualifications, talents, and skills, which is equal to the upper limit of points added for a single template.
However, the ability to select the "Record Illustrated Book" to replace the characteristics and abilities of the new template is not affected by this limit, and there is no upper limit. However, the cost will increase progressively with each inheritance or adjustment.
"The conversion limit for adding points depends on two factors. The rarity of the template depends on the face, and the energy level of this astral shuttle..."
Zhou Jing's mind moved, and the corresponding entry popped up on the panel:
[Star shuttle energy level]
[Current:Lv1]
[To upgrade to the next level, you need to invest 1000 star boundary points and 20 information state particles]
[Tip: The astral shuttle energy level affects the initial strength of the astral apostle template, the template free point conversion limit, the level of the body's convertible ability, and other factors...]
"This thing..." Zhou Jing looked at it carefully and figured out its use.
If the power of astral travel is regarded as a super power system, then the energy level of astral travel is equivalent to the "realm" of this system, and is equal to the degree of development of this ability.
The deeper the level of development, the stronger the ability. Basically, some key factors of astral travel are linked to the energy level of the astral travel, the initial strength of the template, the limit of template points, etc.
Like the point limit, the basic limit of template rarity this time is 500 points. If the astral shuttle energy level is increased to Lv2, then the multiplier will be 2, and the actual conversion limit will become 500x2=1000.
If the astral shuttle energy level is Lv3, Lv4... or even Lv10, then the multiplier to the basic amount will be greater, the room for adding points will be wider, and more astral points can be invested.
"It's a pity that I can't even see a single hair of the information state particle. I definitely won't be able to level up. Don't worry about it for the time being."
Since there was nothing he could do at the moment, Zhou Jing just wrote it down and put it behind him.
He didn't hesitate and spent the money directly to add some credit.
[500 astral points have been converted, you get 5 free allocation points]
[Current free allocation points: 10]
Zhou Jing had already thought about the distribution, and this time he added them all to the attributes.
He has tried adding points for qualifications and talents, but they all cost multiple points to improve a little. The same is probably true for skills, and there are no attributes that have such an immediate effect.
Through the last experience, Zhou Jing discovered that when the initial strength of the template is low, improving the attributes can increase the survival guarantee and facilitate subsequent actions.
"Will Wood" has proven that 9 points of physical fitness is effective, but he died of toxins and injuries in the end, probably because of low resistance, so he decided to match physical fitness and resistance this time.
"The success rate of taking the alien blood potion seems to be related to both. If you add all the physical strength, although it is close to the extraordinary level, it is still lower than Baron's 18 points. It is better to increase the resistance in order to use the alien blood potion.
Be prepared, that is the goal..."
Zhou Jing's thoughts changed and he immediately started to operate.
[Free points allocated]
[Physique 5→10, Resistance 4→9]
"The last item is to consider loading an auxiliary function..."
Zhou Jing pondered
The achievement triggered by the death of "Will Wood" unlocks the auxiliary function bar and comes with four basic auxiliary functions. Today he has considered several options.
I re-read the template properties and compared the assembly costs of each auxiliary function.
Zhou Jing hesitated for a few seconds and finally made a decision.
[500 star boundary points have been consumed]
[[Follower Function] has been filled in the auxiliary function column]
[Currently available followers: [Unnamed (Elementary)]]
The four basic auxiliary functions have different assembly costs. Among them, [Character level system (level 10 upper limit)] is the most expensive, requiring 800 points. Each level up gives 0~2 attribute points, which is equal to additional growth.
Zhou Jing was originally hesitant about whether to choose this option, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. There was one main reason.
One is that the character upgrade function cannot be inherited. Even if the previous astral apostle reaches the full level, the next apostle still has to start from level one, and the additional attribute points brought by this auxiliary function cannot be inherited.
Although he wanted to clear the level as soon as possible, after analysis, he felt that the second Astral Apostle should focus on development and accumulate enough strength before trying to clear the level.
Because this was only his second time traveling and he lacked experience, he felt that to be on the safe side, he had to make two preparations. While trying to clear the level, he was thinking more about whether he could leave more "legacy".
Therefore, it is not cost-effective to choose an auxiliary function that cannot be inherited... After all, 800 points is really expensive for him now.
He just checked and found that in the map overview mode, the designated cost of placing Frostwood Village is 100 points, which is a necessary expenditure.
Then if you spend another 800 points to match the [Character Level System (10th level upper limit)], you will only have 77 points left in your hand, and I am afraid that you will not even be able to activate the training acceleration.
[Follower Function] With only 500 points, you can save 300 points to activate practice acceleration.
And this function is inheritable.
[Follower Function] Currently there is only one empty slot, which is a primary follower template. The effect is that after entering the world, it can be summoned and follow its own actions.
It doesn't matter if the follower dies unfortunately. Each Astral Apostle has one chance to resurrect the follower. If it is used up, the next Astral Apostle can be equipped with this function to reset the chance of resurrection.
The followers can train themselves, and the files will not be deleted. The abilities will still be retained when resurrected. There is no need to start from scratch when assembling them to different astral apostles. It has certain growth potential and is cost-effective.
What is this? It’s the perfect cannon fodder... assistant!
The world of alien beasts is more dangerous and the living environment is harsh. Compared with being a lone wolf, Zhou Jing feels that it is quite necessary to have a follower by his side who can be commanded without complaint. It is easier to do things with more than one person.
In addition, using exotic blood medicine is dangerous, and a loyal follower must be willing to try the medicine for himself...
Zhou Jing coughed and looked at the template of this junior follower. There was only the ability file.
To be honest, the attributes of the primary followers are a bit miserable.
——Except for the [Energy] attribute which is still 0, the other four items are 5 points which is the standard for ordinary people. However, the qualifications are either gray or white, there is no green at all, there is no talent, and it says that the practice acceleration function cannot be used.
Aren’t you just stupid?!
"It seems that this is a limitation of the follower function. Although the training results of the follower will be retained and continuously inherited, the problem is that the growth is slow..."
Zhou Jing nodded secretly.
But fortunately, his original intention this time was just to be a tool man, and his requirements were not high.
Astral points can add points to followers, and the basic conversion limit is also 500. It also accepts the multiplier bonus of the astral shuttle energy level.
However, Zhou Jing doesn't have any extra astral points for his followers now, so he still needs to spend them himself.
"This thing is really useless. I thought I saved a lot last time, but it seems like it's just a minimum living standard."
Zhou Jing muttered to himself.
The appearance and name of the follower template can be customized.
Zhou Jing suppressed the desire to pinch his face to the extreme and set up the appearance of this follower.
He has a medium build and an ordinary face... He is stable and highly soluble in a crowd!
The more inconspicuous it is, the easier it is to get things done.
"As for the name of the entourage...well, let's call him Rose."
Zhou Jing thought of a popular name that fit the style of the World of Alien Beasts, so he just used it without any special meaning.
"That's enough to pinch people... Excluding the 100 points consumed in the designated area, there are still 377 star points in the inventory, which can be used as mobile funds."
Zhou Jing calmed down.
He entered the appearance adjustment interface and found that this time the apostle had thick eyebrows, big eyes, masculinity and resoluteness, and was half as good-looking as himself, so he didn't make any more adjustments, but added the same bird shape of "Will Wood" on the inside of the forearm.
Tattoo.
Then, according to the plan he had thought up during the day, he changed the name of the template from "Jason Moore" to "Jason Wood".
[Adjustment of Star World Apostle Template Ended!]
[Enter the launch preparation stage!]
[Currently released in the star realm: [World of Alien Beasts] No. 001]
[Astral time flow speed difference: 4.1~135.7]
[This shuttle timing: 6 hours (default)]
"The time flow rate difference has changed slightly... Well, try timing it for eight hours this time."
Zhou Jing's heart moved,
[Change confirmation...this shuttle timing: 8 hours for the main body]
[Map overview mode is on]
[Please select the delivery mode, [Random area delivery] or [Specified area delivery]]
The map interface is expanded. It is different from the completely black appearance when traveling for the first time. Now there are some black shirt forest areas and the location of Frostwood Village on the map. You can zoom in and out to observe the details.
Zhou Jing had already decided and carried out the operation.
[Select [Designated area delivery]]
[Specified location: Frostwood Village]
[100 star boundary points will be consumed to deliver in this area...all consumed]
[Start delivery]
Tsk!
A familiar voice sounded, and a crack of light opened in the starry sky below.
For the second time traveling, Zhou Jing was mentally prepared and was sucked in directly.
Chapter completed!
