.Xue Lan’s strange request naturally aroused Liu Yifei’s great curiosity. (.We are the fastest in updating):.
After careful questioning, Liu Yifei discovered that the reason why Xuelan made such a sudden decision was related to the system version upgrade~
Under the professional rules, the more detailed the high-end academics derived, the more obvious the effect of increasing the skills under this system will be. Under the premise that this foundation remains unchanged, this time the newly launched "Lord Knowledge" system will
This "increase" has reached a limit!
For example, each level of the "Fire Mastery" academic level can enhance the power of fire magic by 1%.
The "Fire Mastery" derived from the "Fire Mastery" can bring about a 2% increase in power with each level up.
The higher-end, more gender-specific "Fire Expertise" academic level can bring about a 5% increase in the power of fire magic.
The academic points consumed to upgrade all academics are the same, so under this premise, naturally the more specialized academics you upgrade, the more obvious the power increase will be. And the amount of academic points between players is almost the same.
, unless a certain player has put in a lot of hardships (such as a successful rebirth), he may have more academic points than others.
How to match better academics according to your actual situation when the academic points are almost the same will cause a huge difference in strength between players even if they have the same skills and equipment, which greatly increases the degree of freedom in the game~
However, all of this will be limited by the newly introduced "Lord Knowledge".
Lord knowledge is only divided into three major categories: war, logistics, and scientific research.
Let’s take fire magic as an example.
The knowledge of "Fire Magic" is in the "Scientific Research" category. Each level of this knowledge will increase the effectiveness of all skills in the system by 10%!
10%!
The academic effect is equivalent to that of two full levels of "Fire Expertise"~ But there will be no restrictions on your choice. Even if you learn the lord knowledge of fire magic and then immediately learn the lord knowledge of water magic~
The upgrading of lord knowledge only consumes one knowledge point each time (players with lord qualifications get one knowledge point for every ten levels). No matter how advanced the knowledge itself is and how high it will be, it only consumes one knowledge point.
, this point is slightly different from the academic system.
Lord knowledge is divided into five stages: elementary, intermediate, advanced, expert level and master level, and each player is allowed to master up to five types of lord knowledge at the same time.
Players with first- and second-level goals are low-level players, with knowledge ranging from the highest point to advanced levels, and a maximum of three advanced knowledges are allowed;
Players with third-level goals can obtain an additional expert-level knowledge slot, and advanced knowledge remains at a maximum of four slots;
Players with fourth-level goals can have one master-level knowledge slot and two expert-level knowledge slots, leaving two advanced knowledge slots in the end;
Level 5 players have up to five master-level knowledge slots!
The launch of the "Lord Knowledge" system has undoubtedly increased the player enthusiasm for the "Strategic Map", which is currently becoming increasingly cold.
Because the current world map is still dominated by NPCs, players rarely have their own base here. Even if they do, there will never be another company that can develop to the level of Liu Yifei. Generally speaking, it is still in the bud of player territory.
In this period, the identity of the lord can be said to be an absolutely rare resource!
But it’s different on the strategic map~
According to the rules of the strategic map itself, you become the lord after entering!
Of course, you must at least have a base and protect it, otherwise you will just be a wandering hero.
The final result is obvious.
An ordinary world map player with territory on the strategic map may not be very strong originally. As long as he increases the knowledge of lords at that time, his own strength will make a leap! Even if the equipment is average, it may be the same as the original world map player.
Players who did well on the map but did not have the status of lord at the time were evenly matched!
More importantly, he can also save a lot of pre-requisite academic points at the same time! And these extra academic points can be added to other more suitable places~
(This setting was introduced to balance the popularity gap between the strategic map and the world map, and also to promote the freedom of the game.{}
Xiaolong has said a long time ago that the biggest pursuit of this game is freedom, free combination of professions, and free choice of modes. Players can play however they want. How good they can play depends entirely on the player's personal methods.
On the world map, the status of lord will never be popularized. Therefore, if players want to obtain the status of lord, they must either work as a deputy to a big lord like Liu Yifei, like the little assassins; or they must work as an NPC.
Subordinates can still get wages, but their movements will be somewhat restricted; or they can go to the strategic map to grab a territory, and then they will also be qualified as lords)
Of course, there is also a relationship between skills, academics, and lord knowledge.
Lord knowledge is the highest!
Before there is no lord knowledge, all academic foundations can only be upgraded to level eight (equipment additions are not counted). With each additional level of lord knowledge, the corresponding academic level can be increased to the upper limit of three levels, and the specific skill level is
It cannot exceed the corresponding academic level.
(Cancel the previous "academic repair" setting. If an academic can be repaired back and forth, firstly, the data calculation will be too complicated and difficult to achieve manually. Secondly, it will be unfair to players who have not worked hard enough, because they will
It will no longer be possible to make up for the shortcomings left.)
Lord knowledge can be upgraded directly by consuming knowledge points. For academics, you must go to the professional union to find an NPC and consume academic points to upgrade. You cannot control it. As long as the skills are upgraded, they may be automatically upgraded after accumulating full skill experience.
For example, Liu Yifei's various academics have now reached the limit of level eight. The academic levels he once had have been converted into academic points and returned to him. As long as he does not learn the relevant knowledge of the lord, his own academic level will no longer be available.
It is difficult to make progress.
There are still a lot of players who have stayed on the strategic map so far, so even though the game has only been re-opened for a few days, some people have already posted some of their "lord knowledge and experience" to the forum.
The reason why Xue Lan wants to strengthen her knowledge of fire magic, but is not eager to become an elemental mage, is precisely because her ultimate goal is to enhance some of her dark skills.
The wizards of the tower tribe are better because of their diverse methods, but the magicians of the dungeon are the real kings of destruction!
Among their dark attack magic, many skills also have the "fire" attribute.
The fighting method that Xuelan relied on most in the past was weakening + control + **chou whip**.
At that time, as her equipment level gradually reached a bottleneck state, it was difficult for her basic attributes to be greatly improved, and the magic damage from the Shadow Whip would gradually fall into a weak state.
She has added all the dark academics and magic academics that she can. If she wants to make progress, Xue Lan can only think about other directions.
for example!
Those skills that are influenced by the three academic aspects of darkness, magic, and fire!
For example, the explosive fire ball used by Liu Yifei when he fought against Old George fell into this category of skills.
The effect of amplifying magic power works on it, and the effects of amplifying darkness and fire also work on it. The effects of the three aspects are superimposed together, and the power of such a skill will be terrifying!
This is exactly what Xue Lan had in mind.
"Are you really going to do this? But if you do this, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on your career direction in the future! This kind of temporary increase without considering the cost seems to me to be a waste of time!
Maybe you will surpass others for a brief moment, but as the game time accumulates, your advantage will be surpassed by others.
Xue Lan, can you tell me what's going on? I don't think you should be able to make such an irrational decision."
After nong understood Xuelan's theoretical basis, Liu Yifei couldn't help but frown and asked.
"It's nothing. I just want to make rapid progress in my strength in a short period of time. I just want to have a real decisive battle with you. Both sides will try their best to determine the outcome." Xue Lan said quietly.
"Winning or losing is determined once? What happens next? Do we still want to fight to the death?"
Xue Lan, we have been playing games together for several months?
Although I don’t know what you are like in real life, based on the past few months of getting along with each other, I think we can still talk very well, and we should be considered friends? Or comrades-in-arms?
Can you always tell me, what do you want to do after you defeat me? Find the person you want to find and continue the fight? "
"yes!"
Without the slightest hesitation~
For no reason, Liu Yifei suddenly felt uncomfortable and swollen in his heart.
It was really hard for him to imagine who Xue Lan was doing this for, but no matter who it was for, it was conceivable that this person must be very important in her heart, important enough to use herself as a test stone.
"Okay~ Although I don't know who you are so persistent in wanting to defeat, I don't have the habit of avoiding honest challenges.
Since you insist on fighting once, then it’s settled~
At your request, on the day when I reach level 100, we will have a formal duel!
But seriously, if the level gap is too big, do you think the bonus effects brought by the lord’s knowledge and scholarship can really make up for it?”
Liu Yifei suddenly changed his face and spoke in a somewhat arrogant and teasing manner.
"Hmph~ You don't have to worry about this, I will definitely try my best to upgrade it to show you!
Besides, your goal is to pursue a perfect rebirth, and the road from level 80 to level 100. Hey, we have all experienced that feeling. It is not certain whether the gap is getting wider or smaller.
!”
After hearing that Liu Yifei agreed to his "invitation", Xue Lan's expression suddenly improved a lot, and he couldn't wait to reply.
Just seeing her look like this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart. However, her efforts were all worth it.
As they chatted along the way, time passed quickly. Before long, Liu Yifei and Xue Lan had arrived near the magic lake mentioned by Old George.
The water system in the Sighing Mountains is well developed, and it is far less desolate and desolate than the death land of the ghost tribe. However, even so, the magic lake is a rare and special terrain.
The power of the Magic Lake lies in the obvious magic power contained in the water. A layer of colorful mist surrounds the entire lake. Looking from a distance, it seems as if someone has deliberately placed a thin and beautiful scarf on the lake.
The lake below is completely protected.
The role of the magic lake is not only to beautify the environment.
It is said that drinking the lake water directly can even act as a magic elixir, which not only speeds up the recovery of an individual's magic power, but also increases the magic power of the drinker in a short period of time!
Of course, everyone wants the benefits of the Magic Lake, but it was never a good idea to camp and rest around the Magic Lake at that time!
Because of the powerful role of the magic lake, it is often targeted by powerful creatures around it. Basically, a boss or quasi-boss of considerable quality will be born locally, and a large number of wild creatures will periodically gather around the magic lake to drink from it.
Lake water.
And special terrain like this is also a place where magic attack monsters appear wildly.
Old George and the others had mastered the surrounding information before, so they knew about the existence of this magical lake. However, it was occupied by a group of winged monsters at that time, and Old George and the others cared more about mining and forging than magic, so they didn't
Make the idea here.
When the foreign tribe discovered this place, they gathered firepower to completely eliminate the group of wild Winged Monsters, and then used the Winged Monster camp a few miles west of the magic lake as a base to set up their own temporary camp.
It is not suitable for the two of them to continue flying once they get here, especially Gregory, who is so huge that he may be discovered by the other party in advance if he is not careful.
So the two quickly found a place to land.
Although Xuelan's manticore couldn't fly as fast as Gregory, as a demon pet at that time, it could be included in the pet space. It always moved with its owner and was called whenever it wanted.
As an NPC subordinate, Bone Dragon does not receive such good treatment. Liu Yifei can only order him to wait where he is. If he is not far away, Liu Yifei can call Bone Dragon through soul contact to prevent any accidents from happening.
If it's too far away, he will have no choice. The summoning opportunity within one day has been used up. Once the bone dragon runs too far, Liu Yifei won't even be able to find it~
Fortunately, Gregory was obviously not a very curious bone dragon, and he had no novelty about the place he came to for the first time. As soon as Liu Yifei told him to stay where he was, he immediately found a relatively comfortable corner to sleep in.
, just like it did in Plague City~
Liu Yifei was really angry and funny about Gregory's "happy-go-lucky attitude", but it was always better if he didn't cause trouble. After Liu Yifei confirmed that the surrounding area was relatively safe, he left with Xue Lan to the west.
Slowly approaching the magic lake, the surrounding colorful mist became heavier and heavier, and because it was mixed with a large amount of magic power, this mist was actually able to block magical vision. Even Liu Yifei adjusted his vision to the unique soul vision of the ghost tribe.
None of them are useful, let alone Xuelan's dark vision. Strictly speaking, it's not as useful as Liu Yifei's soul vision.
So the two of them instantly became half-blind~
Fortunately, in a place like this, you can't see others, and others can't see you. As long as you're careful, it's not difficult to avoid targets that can make various sounds.
Moving forward slowly, the two finally reached the edge of the lake.
What's strange is that this colorful mist covers the lake, but only densely walks around and above the area. The edge of the lake is not affected.
At a glance, the lake surface is surprisingly calm, the grass on the edge of the lake is green, and several large trees near the water source stand quietly, coupled with the sound of wind blowing from time to time in the natural environment.
Wonderland!
Especially with the hazy colorful mist surrounding it, it feels like this is a paradise hidden in the clouds and mist!
For Liu Yifei, who grew up in a modern city, this kind of scenery was something he had never seen for a long time, especially when he was tired of seeing the battlefields and the smoke everywhere.
I feel like my whole body and mind have been washed, and I feel indescribably relaxed and comfortable!
"There's something under the water!"
Liu Yifei was taking a deep breath to "taste" the fragrance of nature, when Xue Lan beside him suddenly spoke.
"Ah? There is something? It's normal~ How can there be nothing in such a large lake? Since it is a magical lake, there might be aquatic monsters like fish-men in it."
Liu Yifei said matter-of-factly.
"No, I mean there are strange things under the water, not monsters."
Xue Lan waved his hand gently, and then said very carefully.
"What's going on? What did you see?"
When Xue Lan said this, Liu Yifei also felt that something was wrong. Of course, Liu Yifei was frightened by Xue Lan.
The surrounding environment is surprisingly quiet~
If you look at it in a happy mood, you will naturally feel that nature should be so peaceful, and the scenery is pleasant everywhere~
But if you look at it with uneasiness
That would be weird enough~
At least you can still hear some noises from animals or monsters outside, but why is there no sound at all here?
"It's not something you see, it's something you feel."
Xue Lan lowered his voice and said.
"I'm going to feel it? Sister! Are you bluffing me? What's going on? Don't be so mysterious." Liu Yifei urged uneasily.
"I can't describe the feeling. Ever since before I started playing, the closer I got to this place, the weirder I felt, as if something was scratching in my heart. Until I just saw this lake, my first feeling when I saw it was...
I just want to jump right in! Because I clearly feel like something is calling me from the bottom of the water, and that’s pretty much what it feels like.”
At this moment, Liu Yifei got closer and realized that Xue Lan's face was surprisingly red!
Heck, even though this game is very realistic, I definitely wouldn’t feel blushing or heart-beating if I had nothing to do!
Come on, this is a war-themed online game. Isn’t it a heartbeat of love?
But since Xue Lan's reaction is so obvious, it is conceivable that there is something special hidden under this pool.
