Gao Fei's luck seems pretty good. The results of the lottery are as follows:
Candidate Skill A: Stealth (modification depends on agility)
Candidate skill b: Dexterity (modification depends on agility)
Candidate skill c: Survival (modification depends on perception)
…
Master the "stealth" skill and gain a proficiency bonus when making checks such as sneaking and hiding, which is helpful for executing tactics such as sneak attacks and backstabbing.
This is a required class skill for thieves (rogues). As for berserkers, it is mainly for frontal use. The stealth skill can be learned or not.
"Sleight of hand" is also a thief skill, which can provide proficiency bonus for checks such as sliding doors to pick locks, stealing chickens and dogs, and dismantling traps.
If you are exploring a dungeon maze and there are no fellow thieves around you, then the "Skillful Hands" skill is a must. Otherwise, many treasure chests and secret doors cannot be opened at all, and you will have to find a way around traps.
However, Gao Fei considered that Basaka was living on a desert island, and the theme of his current adventure was survival in the wilderness rather than treasure hunting in dungeons, so the skill "Skilled Hands" may not be useful.
Adventurers need to make "Survival" checks when tracking prey, identifying footprints, predicting the weather, traveling through dangerous areas, avoiding natural disasters such as quicksand, and similar scenarios.
Mastering survival skills can provide proficiency bonuses in the above situations.
Since Basaka will have to struggle to survive alone in the dangerous wilderness for a long time to come, it is obvious that "survival" is the skill he most urgently needs to master.
After Goofy makes his choice, the survival skill is added to Basaka's proficiency list.
Immediately afterwards, the system sent a reminder about additional rewards.
Novice Tutorial: Extra Bonus
For each chapter of the module, the fewer times the player reads files during the adventure, the higher the level of additional rewards will be.
Within one chapter, 0 file reads: Reward an NPC profession (if a new profession appears in this chapter), plus one of three specialties, skills, and tools.
Within one chapter, read the file once: choose one of three specialties, skills, and tools.
Within one chapter, read the file 2 times: choose between skills and tools.
Within one chapter, read the file 3 times: Reward a skill
Within a chapter, read the file more than 3 times: no reward.
…
The fewer files you load, the better the rewards, which shows that the game encourages players to make careful calculations and consider carefully every step. When encountering unexpected situations, you should adapt to unexpected situations and use your brain to overcome difficulties. Loading files again is not a real skill.
Such a setting would seem very unreasonable if placed in a commercial game that aims to make a profit. It is too difficult and has restrictions on file loading, which may scare away most players.
However, the purpose of this game designed by Tiangong is not to make players happy, but to train new people and train special police officers.
If you make a mistake in the game, you can load the files and start over again, but in the real world there is no regret medicine. It is reasonable to use the reward and punishment mechanism to limit the loading of files and cultivate the ability of heaven and man to act cautiously and adapt to changes.
This is the truth, but Gao Fei still feels a little uncomfortable.
He doesn't complain about the game's mechanics, he only blames himself for not living up to expectations. If he had been more careful and used his brain more during the adventure, he might have been able to save one or two saves and get better rewards.
Suppressing his frustrated mood, Gao Fei continued to check the system prompts.
Tutorial for newbies: long rest
A long rest requires at least eight hours of adequate sleep. After that, the health points will be fully restored. Special energies such as magic pool, psionic energy pool, and vitality pool, as well as abilities with limited use times such as "fury" will also be automatically replenished.
It was getting dark, and Basaka dozed off by the campfire, so Gao Fei simply let him take a long rest.
This simple-natured barbarian prince soon fell asleep soundly. Gao Fei scratched his head, wondering what else he could do next?
Can we just wait for Basaka to fall asleep and wake up naturally?
As soon as this idea came to his mind, he received another system prompt.
Tutorial for newbies: fast forward mode
By spending 1 astrolabe energy, you can directly skip simple battles and boring plots, such as long rests and long journeys.
…
The fast-forward mode can directly skip the long rest, but today's astrolabe energy has been exhausted, so the next chapter of the adventure module cannot be started directly.
Gao Fei had no choice but to quit the game and wait for Basaka to sleep for eight hours before going online again.
At this moment, he received a system prompt again.
Novice Tutorial: Forum
Through the astrolabe, you can log in to the communication forum dedicated to heaven and humans, and you can also trade loot between heaven and humans through the forum.
Gao Fei logged into the forum with his Celestial Being ID (007-000-527) and checked the score rankings. He was surprised to find that he was ranked 127th among the more than 1,300 trainee Celestial Beings at Tiangong No. 7 Station!
In fact, Gao Fei was very dissatisfied with his performance on the first day of the game. He had to reload the file three times before barely completing the prologue of "The Revenge of the Prince". Even with this embarrassing performance of stumbling, rolling and crawling, he could still finish the game.
Ranked in the top 10% of the entire server?
This really surprised him.
Gao Fei stared at the rankings and thought for a while, and could only think that his high ranking was due to two factors.
First of all, if not more difficult than "Prince's Revenge", the modules chosen by other gods to guide the game are at least not easier.
Secondly, including myself, the first batch of people summoned by Yaoguang to Tiangong to participate in special training have never been exposed to this almost completely realistic game mode. Even game masters can't stand it in this unfamiliar environment.
It is inevitable to be frustrated.
Gao Fei didn't think his performance was worthy of ranking, but it also gave him an incentive to realize that he had gained a first-mover advantage on another track in his life. He could maintain his advantage and continue working hard, and he might even have a chance to become the leader.
As for those trainees who ranked in the top 100, Gao Fei guessed that they either cleared the level faster and had fewer files to load, or they showed extraordinary creativity in the game.
After closing the ranking page, Gao Fei flipped through the threads on the Celestial Being Forum and found that most of the posters chose to hide their Celestial Being numbers. Even though the number itself was a layer of password, everyone was still cautious for fear of exposing their real identities.
On the Tianren Forum, most of the posts are nonsense with little nutrition.
The very few posts that announce the progress of the strategy are just to show off that they have passed the module prologue without loading files and received the coveted expertise rewards, but they are all tacitly silent and do not elaborate on which module they are conquering and the key points of the strategy.
Gao Fei thinks this is understandable. Everyone is a competitor for jobs. The leader wants to maintain its leading position, while the laggard is eager to overtake. Of course, they will have reservations.
Nowadays, there are about a thousand people in the Sky 7 station. The forum is not very popular and there are not many posts worth reading. Gao Fei felt bored after flipping through two pages. When he was about to log off, he received another system prompt.
