Chapter 3 Inheritance
Retrieve the map again, Su Wu pointed to the town built on the dry riverbed and asked, "Is it here?"
It turns out that this is Hegu Town recorded in Yuan Ye’s diary, and it is close to my novice village. Link stretched out his hand and moved horizontally to the left, pointing to a big tree next to the light column, "It's here."
Su Wu's expression became solemn.
Link's description is vivid and it is impossible to say so in detail without personal experience. If his novice village was really in the pillar of the earth, the only NPC in it was human...
"Son of Nature?"
Link nodded hesitantly, not understanding why Su Wu's face suddenly changed: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Son of Nature is a high-level NPC who has never appeared in the game as a player's profession."
Link didn't think there was anything to make a fuss about: "Maybe it's like an expansion pack or a patch, it's a new career."
"No...you don't understand. Every time you add a new profession, the difficulty will increase accordingly. Last time I lost two companions."
‘Loss’ means death, Link’s throat was dry, and he suddenly lost his mood to make fun of him.
"Originally, my idea was to go to the novice village to meet you first, but now I have to re-plan it." Su Wu moved the character to the magic circle in the corner, and then selected [Aiden City] in the long list that popped up.
He used the ten-day time limit in the game and asked Link to return to reality and discuss the next step if he could not complete the basic training for novices during this period.
Su Wu also specifically reminded Link that the body in the game represents the spirit. Once irreparable damage is caused, it will directly affect the physical body in reality, and in severe cases it will even endanger life. If an emergency situation leads to the awakening of the physical body in the real world, no matter where the spiritual body in the illusion will immediately fall into a coma, which is very dangerous. Never set a mobile phone or alarm clock, and don’t let your family wake you up.
Seeing Link staring at the screen that had entered the teleportation mode, Su Wu explained that the only thing that the computer can operate is the viewing panel and short-range teleportation. Now he prioritizes how to protect himself.
"There are so many things to teach, and I can't finish it in a while. Tomorrow is Saturday, are you still going to work?" After glanced at the wall clock, Su Wu was about to let Link stay overnight. Anyway, it was only an hour's drive from the provincial capital.
"I'm a freelance worker, huh...who writes online novels." For Link, the biggest advantage of this job is that he can arrange his time freely.
"Is that so good?" Su Wu raised his eyebrows, "it can save a lot of energy for commentary."
Before Link could figure out the meaning of this sentence, Su Wu had learned the skills.
Link shook his head, and to verify whether he could leave the game when he was sleeping, he had not had time to learn.
"The Son of Nature is the God Envoy, and his skills are in the God Envoy category. I am a mage and I can help you in casting spells." Su Wu, who has been playing for a year, can claim to be an experienced veteran. The trick he taught Link to cast is self-suggestion + a wild imagination.
In Edgar, in order to solve the defects that are not easy to perceive elements, humans invented ways to assist with rituals and hints. Under the self-hypnosis of "I can feel elements", they can directly skip the perception bottleneck that plagues the mage apprentice in the early stage and enter the link of strengthening control.
But that was the game setting. Players could not really perceive elements like those written in games or novels. Many mage professions took several months or even longer on how to cast spells. In the end, someone further invented the step of replacing the "perceive elements first and then cast spells" based on the suggestion.
"Did you understand?" In fact, Su Wu knew from Link's confused expression, he didn't understand.
"In this way, I will say it more in detail. Arcane and divine art are all attributed to spells. If you want to use spell casting, you must first achieve the most basic point - feeling elements. This is very difficult for modern people who have grown up with scientific knowledge. Because in our hearts, we always believe that fire and wind are just 'light and heat emitted by the burning of matter's fire' and 'level movement of air and ground'. No matter how real and incredible the game world is, if you want to break the already deeply rooted concept, you can only rely on stronger psychological hints."
Su Wu used the fireball technique as an example. After having already made the hint of "I can feel the pulsation of elements", he began to imagine releasing a basketball-sized fireball, and exploded instantly when he hits the target he wants to attack. He thought step by step according to this pattern, and with details such as "What is the range of the attack" and "What kind of damage will it cause", the casting that was originally impossible was completed in the process of "thinking".
"Is this okay?" Su Wu's commentary made Link stunned. His feeling of the dream game was only at the level of "reality", but no matter what, he was still a little unacceptable to casting by just imagination.
"Because the game itself is an existence that cannot be explained by science, you should not use the original standards and common sense to measure it. In Edgar, everything is possible. Do you still remember the questionnaire? Love, money, and power, as long as it is strong enough, let alone the three thousand, you can be awarded the title and become king, even if you pursue eternal life and gods."
"But that's just a game, not real." After saying that, Link himself was stunned. He suddenly realized that this might be the real reason why Su Wen and Yuan Ye were unconscious. Because it was too real, the people who were addicted to it would rather sleep to death in the illusion than return to reality without anything.
"Do you think that world is fake in the game? Don't deceive yourself. Only those who are dissatisfied with reality will be selected." After giving up half of the bed, Su Wu said that he would either squeeze with him or go to sleep in the sofa in the living room.
"It turns out that the first question to install the game was this, but now I make money by writing online articles. I can sleep until what time to wake up. I am much more free than office workers. How could I be dissatisfied?"
Su Wu only gave the back of his head to Link's murmur. He was used to living alone and finally chose to sleep on a hard sofa.
I thought I would be able to sleep, but in fact, Link fell asleep shortly after lying down. The switch between reality and dreams was just a few minutes of rest. When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the game. It was still the simple tree house, which changed a lot compared to when he was "offline". Not only the dust accumulated over the years was cleaned up, but even the short wooden stakes that were once regarded as chairs by Link also emitted new buds, and the light green fluorescent light seemed to paint the whole room with a layer of green wallpaper.
The birdman was arguing with an impatient elf. He noticed Link's "awakening" and shouted that he was urging to read without regard to his own ability, which led to excessive use of mental power and unconsciousness for two days.
The time difference is so big, how can I explain to the NPC the phenomenon of waking up for ten days and sleeping for ten days in the future?
Link sat up with his head covering his head. Not only was his body sore and weak, but his head also hurts a lot. Is it really as the Birdman said that he used excessive mental power?
"Come with me! You've been training for two days." Hull forced Link and pulled him to the spacious treetop.
It was not until he was asked to take out the inheritance that Link remembered that he felt dizzy and the skill book seemed to have been removed... What should I do? After two days, will anyone pick it up?
As soon as he said that the inheritance was lost, he was immediately shocked by Hull.
"Idiot! The inheritance is the concreteization of the grace of God, how can it be lost? It has become a part of your body and will appear as long as you want it."
Is it so magical? Link Gang silently recited the inheritance in his heart, and the skill book instantly appeared in his hands.
Although Su Wu had reminded him not to view the game world in his dreams with the original common sense standards, Link was still shocked. He had seen the magic projection of the holographic and witnessed the whole process of Hull from a bird to a human, but personally summoning objects is another matter.
Is this really just a game? Vision, hearing and even touch are the same as real, and it is hard to believe that it is an illusory realm that only exists in dreams.
Under Hull's urging, Link opened the inheritance and the pages of the book automatically turned to the fourth page they had viewed last time. A thin halo flowed on the completely dark page, and the ever-changing animal outline could be seen.
Well? Why is this chapter still the time? Shouldn’t it be on the fifth page?
"Don't look at me, look at your inheritance. It is the carrier and container that conveys the power of the gods. You must communicate with the gods through your own perception and gain recognition to use the corresponding power." Hull took his example. His original body is a thunderbird, and a believer of Gasos, the god of atmosphere and lightning. He is born to fly, and as a human being, Link must waste a magic position if he wants to fly.
"What is the spell position?" As the question was asked, Link also prayed in his heart, hoping that unlike the DND-type spell position, it would be too troublesome to remember the spell once a day.
"In a broad sense, the spell position is the number of spells that the magician can cast spells every day, including the magician. When the spell position reaches the upper limit, you cannot learn new abilities. Therefore, you must be cautious when choosing and don't be greedy to learn anything." Hull explained in detail that the spell position of different species is also different. Species such as elves and magic creatures that are born with elements, the original spell position starts with ten. Because dwarves and dwarfs cannot cast spells, there are no spell positions at all. Humans are in the middle, neither high nor low, but the individual differences are particularly large. There are only three lower ones, and six higher ones can reach.
Sure enough, there is no BUG profession, if it is too strong, it will be restricted. Link asked weakly: "How many spell positions are there?"
Hull gave him a blank look, "How could I know your spell position? Try it yourself. When you can't learn new abilities, it means your original spell position is full."
Original? The word rekinds hope for Link.
How did I forget about upgrading? The spell position can actually be increased.
Holding the skill book, he pondered what he should learn the first skill.
This game is too dangerous, so let’s learn therapy first, safety first.
After careful consideration, Link chose the most familiar World of Warcraft druids as his brain-stimulating target. Thanks to Su Wu's foresight and taught the tricks of casting in advance, otherwise he would not know how to learn skills if he wanted to break his head.
According to Su Wu's example, from spell effects to skill effects, Link recalled the druid's healing spell over and over again.
If it is as magical as Su Wu said, I hope the treatment can first remove my headache and fatigue...
Just as he was thinking this way, a green light appeared out of nowhere and spun around Link for a few times. Since entering the game, the pain and fatigue have all disappeared.
A line of words appears on the skill book with a faint fluorescent light - [Natural Healing]. The skill description can eliminate abnormal states such as diseases, toxins, curses, etc., and will be accompanied by secondary healing effects.
It actually succeeded!
Hull was relieved at Bill Link's excitement, and he nodded to the elves watching: "It's the Guardian."
The elves who had seen several times but had never talked to Link came up and nodded politely and friendlyly, "Hello, the guardian of the future. I am the glowing elves of the Northern Crystal Forest Iris."
"Uh... Hello." The elves that emit light fluorescent like the inheritance are like the elves in the movie Ring. They are noble and elegant, making people feel ashamed. Even Link, who is a rough nerve, cannot stand it. He nodded and asked why the Son of Nature split into two camps to cover up his uneasiness and restraint.
"The sons of nature's duty is to protect nature and maintain balance. At the end of the Silver Age, with the rapid rise of human beings, they cut down forests, fill wetlands, and randomly synthesize new creatures, greatly destroying the balance of nature. The sons of nature have serious differences. Conservatives believe that human beings belong to life should not take excessive extinction proposals, and radicals feel that human beings have broken away from their original nature and that they will threaten more species if they exist. That is, since then, the sons of nature have split into two factions, and the guardians adhere to tradition and continue to maintain the most basic connection with human beings. The punisher completely cut off contact with human beings, and like all chaotic creatures, they regard human beings as low-level lives and massacre at will."
The elf Eris who solved Link's doubts was the elves. He also explained that because humans were born with a chaotic camp, most of them would become punishers even if they passed the final test. As a loyal ally of the Guardian, he volunteered to help Link train archery, which was also the instruction of the enlightenment tutor Hull. He must master combat skills that do not rely on divine power, so that he can have other self-protection methods after the spell is exhausted.
Link complained. Compared to the skills that can be learned by thinking, the physics department must practice the skills honestly.
In this game world that should be considered high-devils, any novice gamer can get rid of the talented and specialized several streets. The profession of Son of Nature seems to be able to choose skills independently across talents, but if it is mixed but not refined, even if it is cultivated by magic and martial arts, it is still useless.
Just when he was thinking about what to do if he could not learn the essence of elf archery with a human body? The skill book suddenly showed two skills [Divine Revelation] and [Hawkeye].
What's going on? I haven't thought about it yet, why did I learn this skill by myself?
Link scratched his head and threw the problem to Hull, who was a mentor.
"Divine Revelation?" Hull frowned, "That is an auxiliary prophecy. When you are confused and confused, you can get guidance. What are you thinking about? You have used up three spell positions. Humans usually only have three to four spell positions, and even if the exception is only five to six spell positions. If you want to obtain the transformation of the Son of Nature, you must have three abilities to achieve it under the same day."
