059 Home is the journey
Zhou Jing has a plan for the development of Eternal Apostle.
In his view, the Eternal Apostle has two main goals when walking in the star realm.
One is naturally to continue to develop, constantly increase the upper limit of strength, learn new skills, and provide a richer ability library for the ontology.
The other is to earn resources, such as brushing achievements, brushing star boundary points and information state particles.
Because the Eternal Apostle has no pressure to clear the level, and no life goals to guide him, he can only use his subjective initiative to decide what career to do.
Jason's "life goal" has been completed. Now if he wants to obtain information state particles, he can only take the initiative to find events to intervene in the alien world. The undercurrent of the empire's split and tribal independence is obviously a major event that affects the entire process of civilization, and he has a certain grasp of it.
Intelligence, intervention should be able to have a considerable impact.
As for what role he played in this turmoil... Zhou Jing decided to adapt to the situation and wait for the opportunity.
The opposing camp stands between the empire and various tribal lords. He is currently leaning slightly towards the Terra Empire...mainly due to Root's influence, which causes him to not have much favorable impressions of the tribal lords.
Killing alien life forms seems to be a way to obtain information state particles, but it is too risky and there is no one else to find, so Zhou Jing does not consider it for the time being.
As for the big career plan, Zhou Jing still plans to let Jason develop on the exotic beast hunter route. On the one hand, being a hunter can legitimately enjoy the priority supply of various extraordinary resources, and it will be more convenient for subsequent alien blood enhancements.
On the other hand, I want to try to complete the previously triggered milestone, [True·Exotic Beast Hunter].
Currently, there are still two goals left to complete this milestone, which are to hunt deadly alien beasts and the king of alien beasts.
Zhou Jing has thought about it, if Jason can break Raven's enhancement limit, or become the first person to kill the King of Alien Beasts, he will probably leave his name in history. In this case, it will definitely have a sensational impact and produce a
Large wave information state particles.
There is also the possibility of failure, but eternal apostles are not afraid of death and have more motivation to set a challenging goal.
Of course, Zhou Jing did not consider giving a tooth sacrifice to the King of Alien Beasts before Jason reached the limit of the alien blood enhancement, and no one knew where the King of Alien Beasts was now.
"Set a small goal first and become a legendary hunter."
Zhou Jing secretly made a plan.
White Plains City is located in the northern part of the empire. From here to the royal capital, it takes about twenty days by walking. I have enough endurance to shorten this time significantly.
However, Zhou Jing didn't plan to go straight to the royal capital. He wanted to drive around along the way to open the map... and also explore the whole world and learn more about the local customs.
The larger the known map, the more areas can be designated for release, which plays an important role in the subsequent release of Astral Apostles.
Zhou Jing planned to wait until a large map was opened to allow Jason to gain a foothold in the royal capital, and then expand the apostle slots to generate new astral apostles. This would save a lot of energy. He would also have a deeper understanding of the world and plans for the new apostles.
Only then will there be more ideas.
Because the main body has become a superpower, completed the original plan faster than expected, and decided to immigrate. There is still one and a half months before boarding the spaceship in the main world, so Zhou Jing is not so anxious.
He has a relaxed mind and plans to explore the world of exotic beasts and develop apostles.
"About the alien life form... wait until we get to the royal capital and investigate slowly and carefully. As long as I keep playing the role of a hunter of alien beasts and don't show words and deeds that are beyond this era, it will not be easy for people to suspect."
Zhou Jing has not forgotten this. As a "dead man", he did not leave his name in a big way when he kidnapped Lute. Generally, no one would doubt him... The hidden danger is that he will be recognized by people who have seen him, but as long as he leaves Bei
Well, the probability should be low.
It's a pity that the Eternal Apostle cannot adjust his appearance, otherwise he would have wanted to fine-tune his appearance when he released it.
"I have more than 1,400 Terra silver coins on hand, which will definitely be enough for travel expenses. I still have a lot of money left to replace equipment and directly buy exotic blood potions... In this case, if I encounter good ones in hunter workshops in other towns,
You can also buy equipment or good potions directly."
Zhou Jing touched his chin and couldn't help but think of Magji.
Many people have made reservations for good exotic blood potions, but I don’t have hunter certification in other towns. If I go to other towns to buy potions, I might be like Magage, and be jumped in by local hunters.
If you think so, it would be better to pay attention to the alien beast subjugation missions in various towns. Hunt powerful alien beasts with your own hands, and you must have your own share of the alien blood potions produced.
He also didn't want to break the workshop's rule of giving priority to supplying local hunters. If he couldn't buy it with money, he would do it himself and have enough food and clothing.
With the follow-up plans in his mind, Zhou Jing composed himself, opened the achievement warehouse on the panel, and counted the inventory in detail.
He has saved all the achievement rewards triggered before. Currently, there are [Qualification Improvement-Physical Energy (Small)]
-Comprehensive (Small)】x1.
There is quite a lot of inventory.
Achievement rewards are given to new apostles, which can help them get stronger at the start, speed up their growth, and make it easier to pass levels, but there is a risk of losing money... so Zhou Jing has been saving up the rewards.
If used by the Eternal Apostle, the strengthening results will be kept on file. It may not necessarily play a key role, but it will definitely not be a loss.
"Speaking of which, kidnapping Lute achieved nothing. This man is still a lord. It's so disrespectful."
Zhou Jing slandered.
He thought for a while, clicked on a [Qualification Improvement-Physical Fitness (Small)] and gave it to Jason to use.
[After use]
[Physical qualifications slightly improved]
Zhou Jing couldn't help but blinked when he saw that Jason still had "dark green" physical qualifications.
Has this... improved?
It's still green.
He used another copy, and this time a familiar prompt popped up.
[Physical qualification changes: [Dark Green] → [Light Blue]!]
It seems that in the blue level, two copies of [Qualification Improvement (Small)] are needed to upgrade to a small level... Zhou Jing wrote it down.
He looked at the remaining qualification improvement rewards. It seemed that he could upgrade the resistance qualification by another level... He did not hesitate and spent two [Qualification Improvement-Resistance (Small)].
[Resistance [light blue] → [blue]]
Zhou Jing took a deep breath and felt that his body seemed different, but he couldn't tell where the changes had occurred. He felt an inexplicable "throughness".
The remaining qualification improvement rewards include one for physical fitness (small) and one for comprehensiveness (small). Although the total can increase physical fitness by another level, Zhou Jing does not plan to use it.
The reward for a comprehensive improvement in qualifications comes from the unique achievement of [Enter the Extraordinary], which is more precious and has a low explosion rate.
He does not intend to use it to improve physical qualifications. He thinks the purpose of this thing is to improve some unique qualifications that are difficult to obtain targeted rewards, such as some systems with knowledge of cultivation and rich routes for those who rely solely on physical fitness.
Muscle sticks always feel like a waste.
In addition, there are two achievement rewards that can be used [Attribute Improvement-Physical Energy (Micro)].
"I wonder if I can break the first-order limit of attributes..."
Zhou Jing muttered secretly and tried to use one.
[After use]
[Physical attribute +1]
[Current physical energy: 40 (+4) (first level max)]
[The rank bonus has reached 10% of the current attributes]
[Physical energy can break through to the second level]
"So that's it." Zhou Jing's eyes lit up and he understood the mechanism.
When the attributes of a field reach a bottleneck, subsequent improvements will not be formally added to the attributes, but will become something called "level bonus" that is reflected on the panel attributes, which is the "+" in brackets.
It intuitively reflects the accumulation progress during the bottleneck period, and records the improvement that is not included in the official attributes... This part only counts the improvement of skills or extraordinary systems. Adding points when pinching people does not increase the rank bonus.
If the tier bonus exceeds a certain percentage of the current attributes, you can advance... From an ordinary person's perspective, it means accumulating and practicing over the years to break through the bottleneck.
To break through the first level, the level bonus must reach 10% of the attribute, which means there is (+4) progress.
Zhou Jing saw the "upgradeable" option appeared behind the physical attribute and clicked it immediately.
[(+4) rank bonus has been consumed]
[Physical fitness increased to level 2]
[Please choose a new trait from the following three]
[Note: Trait means being better at one of the directions of this attribute and having special advantages]
[1. Savage physique: You have extraordinary brute strength and are better at strength]
[2. Agility: You have outstanding agility and are faster than ordinary people]
[3. Long endurance. You have amazing endurance and rarely feel tired]
"It turns out that advancement is not only about breaking through the upper limit of numerical values, but also about getting additional bonuses..."
Zhou Jing perked up.
Attributes are a summary of comprehensive properties, which include a lot of qualities. The same physical ability also has differences. Some people are strong, and some are fast.
Jason took the agile route. He didn't hesitate for long and quickly chose the second option.
On paper, power and speed seem to be separate, but according to his actual experience... speed is power, and it is more advantageous in battle.
[Selection completed, traits have been generated]
[Current physical attributes: 40 (second level)]
[Physical traits: [agile posture]]
Zhou Jing shivered all over, as if he had broken some physical boundary, and his blood flowed rapidly, giving him a feeling of fullness.
My body suddenly became lighter, as if as long as my feet were off the ground, I could float into the sky like a balloon.
He made a dodge movement on the spot, almost leaving an afterimage, and his speed was not a bit faster.
Although physical strength is still 40 points, the increase in traits is quite obvious. He made a rough estimate and found that it is probably 10 to 20% faster than before... which is quite astonishing in actual practice.
"According to this range, the limit of the second level should be 80 attribute points... Well, Jason's resistance is already 31 points, so he can give priority to breaking through the first level."
Zhou Jing was in a happy mood.
The main body has not advanced yet, so now is the time for Jason to try out the effects of the traits. When the time comes, the main body will have a good idea of the route to choose.
He conveniently used another attribute upgrade, raising his physical strength to 41 points, and then turned off the panel.
Zhou Jing asked Ross to dispose of Lute's body, while he looked in the direction of Frostwood Village, his heart moved.
"I'm afraid I won't come back after this trip. Before leaving, let's go to the village and take a look..."
…
Early morning, Shuangmu Village.
A group of villagers stood at the entrance of the village, divided into two groups, saying goodbye to each other.
Today, several more villagers planned to move into Baiyuan City, and the village chief and other villagers came to see them off.
Several villagers said goodbye to everyone one by one, led the ox cart, and dragged their families onto the dirt road leaving the village.
"Someone left again..."
Grif pulled Reiner and stood in the farewell crowd, sighing softly.
Compared with half a year ago, Shuangmu Village, which was already remote, was even more deserted. Although there were no strange animals during these days, more and more villagers decided to move and hide in White Plains City.
One of the reasons is that Shirohara Castle has no time to defend surrounding villages.
But the most direct reason is that Balon left Frostwood Village.
A few months ago, the Imperial Investigation Team declared Root innocent and did not remove him from his position as lord. Balon was furious and wanted to attack the lord, but was finally persuaded by Weber and others.
But because he couldn't accept this, Baron didn't want to stay in the White Plains City area, so he simply left with Weiss.
From a stationary hunter, he became a free hunter again.
As he once said, only after experiencing a journey can you find your destination... I thought I had found my destination, but in the end I found that my destination is just a journey.
Before leaving, Balon summoned all the villagers and announced his decision. No matter how the villagers tried to persuade him to stay, or even some villagers tried to kidnap him morally, he did not waver.
After being stationed in Frostwood Village for several years, the villagers have become accustomed to Balon's existence, but Balon doesn't owe the village anything, and he won't regret anyone if he leaves. He won't be soft-hearted when it's time to leave, and he won't feel guilty just because he has protected the village for several years.
I am tied to this place for the rest of my life.
However, Balon was still concerned about the safety of the villagers, and before leaving, he gave a suggestion, suggesting that the villagers move to White Plains City.
Without the garrison of the alien hunters, Frostwood Village had no shelter. Many villagers accepted the offer and went to live in safer towns.
Even Grif himself plans to move to White Plains City with his family.
After seeing off these people, Griff took Reiner to the cemetery, where he wiped clean the graves of Will and Jason as a habit, then took two steps back and stared at the tombstones of the two Wood brothers for a long time.
After a long time, he sighed deeply.
"Sigh... I don't know when I will come back."
Reiner on the side turned to look at him and blinked: "Are we moving?"
"Yeah, we'll leave in a few days." Grif touched his head.
Reiner lowered his head to hide his excitement.
He yearns for the outside world and has long been unwilling to stay in the village.
At the same time, on the hills not far from the village, there is a forest of apothecary huts where Gama once lived.
Zhou Jing stood on the hill and looked at the village from a distance.
He hurried back through the starry night and, without the villagers knowing, had already explored the situation in the village and discovered that Balon had left.
But even if Balon didn't leave, Zhou Jing had no intention of appearing in front of everyone.
As long as the villagers are fine, it doesn't matter where they live.
After Root was killed by himself, the situation in White Plains City will slowly improve, and this area will return to its former security over time.
After a long time, Zhou Jing finally withdrew his gaze and patted Ross who was standing guard next to him.
"Let's go."
Chapter completed!
