Husky let out a long sigh and sold all the items in the inventory, including the remaining armor they had.
Two sets of armor (excluding the breastplate) sold for one hundred and twenty gold coins.
There was still twenty gold coins left. The two teenagers were depressed to death.
Husky thought for a while and even sold the set of rock climbing tools. Although the help was minimal, the two sets of tools together only cost ten gold.
There was still ten gold left. The two teenagers looked at each other. They clicked on the item bar, took off their clothes, and sold the cloth clothes, getting six gold coins.
There were still four golds left. Husky was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Hal took out his pig-tooth sword: "Even this..."
"No! How can we fight monsters without weapons? This weapon is our last hope, and we must not sell it!" Husky objected strongly.
But the leopard man boy shook his head, his eyes were red and swollen: "There will always be a way, meow. Now let's heal your injury first, meow."
He also sold his last weapon in exchange for five gold coins. ------Yes, the material for making the sword [pig's teeth] is worth five gold coins. This pig's tooth sword that took a lot of effort to make is actually
The price is the same as its original material! The merchants are so evil!
But this way, they have...two thousand and one gold coins! Enough for the operation!
But of course, they will then be penniless, naked, and without any decent weapons! Do they really have to hunt wild boars with bare hands? I’m afraid this game can no longer be played, right?
Husky walked up to the doctor angrily and pressed the confirmation button: "I've given you the money, cure me quickly, you bastard!"
"Surgery fee confirmation." The NPC doctor answered mechanically: "Now we will start the surgery to join the amputated limbs."
A space similar to an operating room appeared in front of everyone, and the doctor motioned for the canine boy to lie down on the operating table. After Husky did so, a huge shadowless lamp appeared on the operating table. Under the bright light, the wound was clearly visible.
The doctor injected an injection into the dog boy's arm, administered local anesthesia, took the severed limb and began to sew it up.
Of course, none of this could be seen by outsiders. In the eyes of Husky and others, a blur of white mist completely obscured the horrific surgical process.
"It's just an operation, do you want it to be so realistic?" Huskey complained depressedly. He was actually a little looking forward to seeing how the doctor would use sutures to join his broken arm.
"Huhu, if I really let you see it, I'm afraid you will faint from fear." Arthur sneered from the side: "This game has blocked a lot of scary content. The reality is actually much more bloody, and even with anesthesia, it will still be bloody after the operation.
It will hurt for a long time."
Hal watched all this without saying anything, with a look of guilt on his face.
"While we are undergoing surgery, let's take a look at learning skills?" Arthur urged: "Open your inventory and turn to the skills page to take a look?"
Husky lay on the operating table and followed the instructions with his free hand.
Because he has been promoted to level two, three new learnable skills appear on his skill page. Of course, he only has one skill point, which means he can only learn one of them.
He looked carefully at the details of those skills:
[Combat Skill 001: Arm Strength Explosion]
Instantly increase attack power by stimulating arm muscles. Suitable for powerful warriors. Lasts for two seconds, available times per day: 10
[Combat Skill 002: Powerful Sprint]
Instantly increase running speed by stimulating leg muscles. Suitable for speed warriors. Lasts for one second, available times per day: 10
[Combat Skill 003: Spiritual Unification]
Gain greater concentration by stimulating the nervous system to improve movement accuracy. Suitable for shooters or agile warriors. Lasts five seconds, available times per day: 5
"The explosion of arm strength...that is to say, can the attack power be increased instantly?" Husky asked Arthur: "How much can it be increased?"
Unlike ordinary games, the explanations of these combat skills are so brief, and there is no explanation of the actual attack power that can be improved.
It was so ambiguous that Huskey didn't know how to choose. If he chose the wrong combat skill, he would waste a precious skill point, and it was extremely difficult to level up in this game, so he had to choose carefully.
Arthur was stunned for a while, and seemed to be worried about the same problem: "Honestly, I don't know."
"No, you don't know meow?" Hal couldn't help complaining: "Uncle Arthur, you are not the creator of this game, meow? You don't even know this, meow?"
"Because this combat skill has a lot to do with your own natural abilities. Some people are naturally good at attacking. Learning this skill will help you get twice the result with half the effort, and the lethality will be particularly high when activated.
On the contrary, some people may be particularly unsuited to this skill, and even if it is used, the effect will be significantly reduced. This is probably related to the person's own nerve conduction and body coordination ability.
But...if you insist on knowing a general answer, I will tell you that the attack power will increase by about 20%."
Husky immediately became unhappy: "Twenty percent...that's all?"
"It's already a lot." Arthur said with a face: "Do you think that one combat skill can increase your attack power several times, allowing you to easily kill the enemy? It's impossible."
Seeing the two teenagers looking at him depressedly, Arthur added: "However, by constantly working hard to practice the same combat skill, once it is used proficiently, the efficiency and effect of use will continue to increase. Doubling the attack power should
It's not impossible either.
---After the orcs activate the madness technique, their muscle strength can explode to several times their original size, right? The principle is the same."
"In other words, if I keep practicing the same combat technique, it's possible to increase my attack power dozens of times in an instant?"
"No, unfortunately, no." Arthur shook his head again: "The human body still has functional limits. When the strength reaches a certain level, the arm bones will break, the muscles will tear, and it will cause unforeseen consequences to oneself.
Reversal of damage. Your body won't allow that to happen.
------Your nervous system will stop your muscles before they explode with too much force."
"Even if...I don't care about getting hurt, is it not allowed?"
"Perhaps." Arthur smiled lightly and seemed thoughtful: "You should ask this question to your own body, not me."
The kind of person who can act beyond the limits of his own physical ability does exist in the world. That person is the Knight of Heaven, the Grand Duke of Palinlor.
That guy has the ability to unlock the critical point of physical fitness. Regardless of physical injuries, he can explode with amazing power.
But what he did was based on his amazing self-healing ability. His body probably knew that it could recover quickly even if it was injured, so it allowed Palinloar to do such nonsense.
Therefore, Palinlor is considered a monster. Far beyond [ordinary people] and [common sense], [a monster beyond the limit].
How many people in this world can do the same thing?
Husky and Hal were silent.
"Um...the other combat skills are the same, meow?" After a long time, Hal asked: "It's also affected by everyone's talent, and the effect is uncertain, meow?"
"That's right." Arthur nodded: "So please choose carefully and choose the path that suits you best."
The two teenagers looked at each other. They were still debating which combat skill they should learn.
I also want strength, I also want speed, and there is also a function that I don’t understand about improving concentration, which seems to be of some use.
If there were no skill point restrictions, it would be great to learn all three combat skills.
The monsters in this game are so powerful. Even with these combat skills, the assistance they receive is actually negligible. However, even a little extra assistance is a stepping stone for them to lead to a world of strength.
After the dog-man boy and the leopard-man boy looked at each other, they each operated their own inventory and clicked on a combat skill.
"Oh?" Arthur looked on and let out a slightly surprised groan.
He could almost guess the choices of the two teenagers. Husky chose [Arm Explosion], while Hal chose [Powerful Sprint]. One pursues strength, while the other pursues speed? It is indeed very similar to Dogman.
And the ways of the Leopard Man.
"Well, can I test it, meow?" Hal couldn't wait to try out his newly learned skills.
"It's up to you." Arthur smiled and said, "In the town, there is no limit to the number of times combat skills can be used. You can test them as much as you like and explore the tricks of using them.
However, if these techniques are not used in actual combat, their proficiency will not increase. In order to become stronger, you must use more skills in actual combat."
"Got it, meow." Hal was practicing in the open space nearby. He concentrated on launching that powerful sprinting combat technique. As he started running, his legs suddenly increased in strength, allowing him to instantly
Gained five yards.
After rushing out, accompanied by a feeling of exhaustion after being released, the effects of the combat skills disappeared, and Hal also stopped.
"Okay, so interesting, meow!" the leopard boy exclaimed. Although he had seen adults around him using many cool abilities, when he experienced these abilities himself, the feeling was different!
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!" He activated his combat skills again, sliding around in the open space, sometimes accelerating and sprinting, sometimes stopping to rest. At the end of the high-speed running, he jumped high and could fly very far. This
The ability seems to be very useful.
"Hmm..." Seeing Hal having so much fun, Husky couldn't hold himself back any longer: "Why isn't the operation finished yet? When can I move?"
"Wait a little longer, it will be done within an hour," the doctor said.
"What?" Huski was startled.
"It's fifteen minutes." Arthur crossed his arms and looked at the leopard boy in the distance with complicated emotions: "The time flow in this game is four times that of reality, so when the NPC in the game says one hour
, actually only fifteen minutes."
"Oh, that's it." The dog boy breathed a sigh of relief: "But you have to wait for a long time to get treatment in the game. It's really troublesome."
"This is nothing. In the real world, with such a serious injury, you will have to lie in a hospital bed for several months." Arthur scolded mercilessly: "So, act carefully and try to avoid injuries. This is the purpose of the entire game.
Essence."
However, it doesn't make much sense to say this. The monsters in this game have such strong attack power that they can kill someone with just one attack. In the end, you still have to rely on coquettish positioning and flexible movement to save your life.
"Okay." The doctor said, and the surrounding equipment began to disappear: "The arm has been reattached, but it is not yet fully recovered. Do not forcefully use this arm within a month, do you understand?"
"Oh...ok, thank you, uncle doctor." Husky touched his reattached arm. The hand was still a little numb and could not move well. There were terrible sutures on the interface, and there were terrible sutures around it.
There were also faint, transparent blood stains.
"Fortunately, it's your left arm that's broken, so it won't affect your ability to hold weapons?" Arthur smiled slyly: "Remember what the doctor said? Don't move this injured arm for a month (a week in the real world)
oh."
"I know, I know." Husky replied in a low voice: "If it breaks again, we won't be able to afford the surgery at all."
If you break an arm casually, you have to pay a huge sum of two thousand gold coins for treatment. This game is quite anti-human.
After their injuries were healed, their thoughts returned to the most realistic problem: what should they do if they were almost penniless and didn't even have a decent weapon in their hands?
Husky glanced at King Arthur subconsciously.
No. He immediately turned his head and avoided Arthur's gaze. They had already received a lot of help from Uncle Arthur, and if they asked him for more requests, they would probably be rejected.
He could only rely on the efforts of himself and Hal, starting with hunting wild boars and saving military funds bit by bit.
"Um, do you need help?" the NPC blacksmith on the side asked.
"Uh...what?" The dog boy was confused. Generally speaking, if players don't go to talk to these NPCs, they won't take the initiative to talk.
"Haha." The blacksmith stopped the hammer in his hand and turned to look at Husky: "You are penniless, you don't even have clothes to wear, and you are so poor. This is the first time I have seen you. -----
-Ask me again, do you need help?"
Although the other party's tone was full of ridicule, Husky immediately understood the reason: this was a hidden mission in the game.
Presumably in order to help those players who are penniless and don't even have the most basic weapons, the game developers have hidden a hidden mission in the blacksmith uncle, a mission that can help people escape from poverty.
In this way, they at least have one last chance to make a comeback.
Looking at the blacksmith uncle who smiled slyly, the two teenagers once again ignited the fire of hope in their hearts.
