The players' tracking and exploration over the past few days was not in vain. Bai E, who was following them deeper and deeper, clearly noticed that a strange smell was starting to get worse.
It was the smell emitted by a large concentration of plague rats, and I had smelled it before I met Bai E twice.
Sure enough, subtle movements gradually approached at the end of the passage again.
Encountering this group of rats that seemed to be on patrol again, Bai E did not directly snipe from a distance. Since it was a teaching, he had to give the players a chance to show off.
He didn't know if there was any quality judgment on the teaching. After all, his initial learning was with fixed targets in a visible environment during the day. If he didn't put a target in the dark sewer pipe, it would be difficult for the players to learn.
, for the sake of safety, it is better to start teaching as soon as possible.
"The opportunity has come." Bai E reminded softly.
Dai Lian nodded and tightened his grip on the crossbow. He also heard the movement.
Kuang Xin also held the handle of the crossbow and looked excited, but Gong Yan was the only one who made no movement.
She likes that kind of chicness, but she doesn't know how to learn it.
She can't bite off more than she can chew. She understands this truth better than Dai Lian. She has a clear cognitive plan for her own development route.
"See clearly."
【Have you decided to teach the target combat skills? 】
【Sure!】
…
[You paid 10 points of combat experience during learning, which was converted into 5 points of "range weapon proficiency" experience.]
Arrows with different strengths shot through the wind, reaping experience happily. Kuang Xin and Dai Lian also studied hard wholeheartedly.
[You paid 10 points of general experience during learning, which was converted into 5 points of "range weapon proficiency" experience.]
Use general experience when you run out of combat experience. There hasn't been much fighting in the past few days, and the experience gained from occasionally killing plague rats is far less than what you got from killing wolves before.
However, under the impact of a wave of plague rats, the two of them already had a certain basic level of proficiency in long-range weapons and directly reached level 1.
[Successfully hit several small targets, long-range weapon proficiency experience +6.] (Superimposed)
[Have learned "Level 1 Long Range Weapon Specialization" and simultaneously obtained latent repair points*1. 】
[Remote Weapon Specialization (Level 1): Shooting accuracy +5%, rate of fire +3%, range +100 meters.]
[The current long-range weapon proficiency experience is 2/300. When you reach 300 points, you can master "Level 2 Long-range Weapon Specialization". 】
Dai Lian looked at the information prompts popping up on the panel with satisfaction. It was impossible to learn special attributes in the teaching before learning level 1 specialization. This was shown in the last study.
Next, it’s time to really show off your skills!
[You paid 10 points of general experience while studying... (very small probability of awakening special attributes)]
[Tip: The current nature of the "weapon" cannot support the awakening of this special attribute, and the probability is extremely slim. Please make a judgment with caution. 】
"emmmmm..."
Dai Lian raised his crossbow in front of his eyes, and his slightly cocky eyes raised a puzzled question - huh?
Kuang Xin also discovered the problem and looked at Dai Lian immediately, "What should I do?"
"Sir..." Dai Lian immediately stopped his losses, a wry smile appeared on his lips as he spoke, "I think we may need to learn next time."
I never expected that this game focuses on reality.
The hand crossbow has a lower entry threshold, but its essence is actually a cold weapon type firearm.
The slot for placing the crossbow arrows is fixed, so there is naturally no room for manual operation.
Whether it's arc strike or scattering... it's not something a hand crossbow can accomplish.
The level 1 specialization listed simply improves their familiarity with cold weapon type shooting...
Learned in vain! Damn it!
…
[The "teaching" is over. Through the feedback of the "teaching", you have gained a total of 150 combat experience points and 60 general experience points. 】
Bai E glanced at the hand crossbows in the hands of the two men, and went to retrieve the arrows with some regret.
The great harvest opportunity was interrupted by the nature of the weapon, TNND!
"It's okay... there will be many opportunities in the future." Bai E comforted them casually while recovering the arrows.
I am definitely not at a loss. Even if the teaching round was interrupted due to unexpected factors, the improvement brought about by the battle itself is gratifying enough.
[Trigger scattering (triple shooting)! Successfully hit a large number of long-distance small targets, long-range weapon proficiency experience +22.] (Superimposed)
[You have killed the target, the battle is over, and you have gained 20 points of combat experience.]
【...The current progress is 13/100.】
The only pity is that the combat experience that can be obtained by killing plague rats is getting less and less. It is rare to get even 1 point of experience from a plague rat. Just now, you may have only received a 19% discount. This time, you will directly get a broken bone, two for one.
I don’t even know if there is.
And because this time to take care of the players, the battle was done at a closer distance, so the combat experience not obtained in a "dark environment" was not included in the experience required to unlock the expertise, and the progress did not change.
It’s quite rigorous...
This expertise in blind fighting probably won't be available tonight, so Bai E was mentally prepared, "Let's go, keep moving forward."
"Sir... let's lead the way. The closer we get, the more careful we have to be. We will attract too many rats and it will be difficult for us to escape." Dai Lian calmed down and walked ahead again.
In fact, I didn’t lose much in today’s study. After all, there are no hints on how to learn special attributes before getting the level 1 specialization. This level 1 specialization is all important.
At most, the loss is only part of the experience that could have been practiced on my own but now directly exchanged 2:1 through the teaching bureau, so the loss is limited.
It's my first time playing this game, so I should gain some experience and gain some knowledge.
He must be more careful next time. All judgments in this game have real and perfect underlying logic. If he had thought more carefully, these losses could have been avoided.
"There are more and more obstacles, which proves that we are heading in the right direction." Bai E, who had recovered the arrows, looked into the darkness in the distance.
I wonder if the boss hiding in the dark can provide some surprises for me.
…
"You can't escape, come back with me." Franka's eyes crossed the gap between the rats and looked at the thin figure hiding under the gray-brown blanket.
"I just want to live..." The thin figure lowered his head deeply, his face hidden in invisible shadows.
His shoulders trembled slightly, and the roar from his throat gradually grew louder, revealing a hysterical self-abasement.
"I just want to live...I just want to live...I don't want to harm anyone! They are just protecting my friends!"
The big man coldly interrupted the boy's self-defense, "I know you don't want to harm anyone, and I can see that you are restraining these rats that were born because of you."
It can be seen from the number of these plague rats in the sewers that they occasionally go out to attack ordinary residents uncontrollably. It is only an uncontrollable minority. It is difficult for a small number of plague rats to really cause too much harm. They are beaten by the attackers.
But you can still run.
If it is really released completely, it will not be the losses previously investigated, "But your existence itself is evil, even your unconscious behavior has caused unimaginable impact on mankind, and you cannot perfectly control these factors."
The plague rat born from you, not to mention...your so-called friends, have already killed a life."
"It was Will who bullied me first!" The boy's voice was high-pitched, and he lost control of his emotions as he screamed at the top of his lungs. "That's not fair! Where were you when they bullied me? And you were there when I was pressed into the ditch and almost suffocated.
Where! Why do I deserve to die! Why can’t I live well in this world! Why do you!"
"There is no injustice." The strong man's tone was calm and cold, "Fernandi, we have heard about you, and we also know that your fate is tragic... They are wrong to bully you, you can also use up your
Use all means to fight back. No one will stop this counterattack, but you are wrong. You should not pray for the blessing of the evil god, who is the destined enemy of the entire human society. No one can save you."
"Counterattack? What should I use to counterattack?"
How can an individual poor person who is malnourished, thin, and without any psychic talent use to launch an effective counterattack against other bullies who form a group?
Fernandi was full of accusations.
Franka couldn't bear it, and her voice was as gentle as possible, "Come back with us, maybe we can find a way to help you..."
"No!" The boy looked to his side, there was a road there, "You can't catch me! I won't go with you! Never!"
"I know you still have a way out now, but you have no way out in the future. Walking with us is your only choice."
"Franka!" The strong man's voice was a bit stern. He looked across the chaotic grid composed of two layers of rats to the girl at the mouth of another pipe. "There is no need. You know, between us and the devil believers,
There is no possibility of compromise, only destruction. Insufficient cleaning means complete failure to clean! Let’s do it.”
Franka shook her head stubbornly, "I want to try."
"stubborn!"
The boy smiled miserably, "Look... you won't let me go. I've heard about your style."
After saying that, the boy who was about to run suddenly stopped, with a bitter smile on his face.
"You...there are actually people."
Some information was not highlighted at the beginning, I thought everyone could understand it ~ This chapter has been slightly edited...嘤嘤嘤(_)
