Chapter 45 Skill Hall Trial
After finding an empty corner, Ma Yingjie used the teleportation function of the Betrayer's Ring to teleport to East Street, and then turned left and right to the Skill Hall. An old man dressed like the old man Kerila was standing at the door selling tickets.
"Hello, uncle..." Before Ma Yingjie could finish the second half of his sentence, he was interrupted by the old man.
"Don't try to get close to me. I can't hear you. If you want to practice your skills, just pay for the ticket." The old man interrupted Ma Yingjie impatiently. Just now, a few people insisted on going in to take a look without paying. The old man obviously regarded Ma Yingjie as one of them.
"Hey, old man, I'm here to look for someone." Lu Hao got angry. He spoke to you in a nice voice and acted like a big shot. What's a NPC guarding the gate? NPCs were originally designed to serve players.
"Oh, looking for someone. Which skill hall is he in?" The old man lost his spirit when he heard that Ma Yingjie was looking for someone. He was not willing to do this kind of work that served the public.
"10010." Ma Hao said the number written by the withered Bauhinia on the message.
"What's the use of 10086? Go to China Unicom or China Mobile to apply for a phone card." The old man puffed his beard and glared.
Ma Yingjie raised his middle finger to the old man and looked at him: "How much is the ticket?"
"The VIP card is fifty gold coins per month, and the ordinary card is thirty gold coins. The charge is two gold coins per time." The old man said directly without even looking at the bill in his hand.
"I'll use two gold coins." Ma Yingjie took out two gold coins and handed them to the old man. The old man tore off a ticket for Ma Yingjie: "Don't throw the ticket stub away. The guards will go in to check the room. Those who don't have a ticket stub will have to buy one. Those who can't afford it will just go to the hotel and wash dishes for a day."
"How do I get in?" Ma Hao looked at the closed door, considering whether to push it open, but the door seemed to be locked.
"Hey, do you see the crooked weeping willow tree behind me? There's a deep pool underneath. Jump in and float up and you'll be there."
"Isn't this a prank?" But thinking that everyone had to go in this way, Ma Yingjie felt balanced. He thought that the withered Bauhinia also jumped in like him. The withered Bauhinia used a VIP card and could pass through the door without having to sneak in.
Walking to the crooked willow tree behind the old man, there was indeed a bottomless pool of water under the tree, and the surface of the water was dark and unpredictable. Ma Yingjie took a deep breath and jumped down like he did when he first entered the game.
There was no such situation as imagined, where the clothes were soaked, and even breathing was not impeded. In fact, this place that looked like Xiao Tan was a teleportation array. The difference was that other teleportation arrays were standing on the ground, while this one was lying on the ground.
After choosing to teleport to the skill hall No. 10010, Ma Yingjie was thrown into a whirlpool like a rag bag. The whirlpool was dim and drowsy, and the feeling of not being able to stand on the ground made people feel helpless. Fortunately, this helplessness only lasted for a short time and ended. Ma Yingjie touched his buttocks that were about to split and cursed the guy who designed this teleportation array. He took special care of the eight generations of people, especially the young women.
This was a huge hall with a handful of players practicing their skills. The flashing magic halos, the flying sword lights, and the arrows were like shooting stars, making Lu Hao dazzled.
"Crash." The armored warrior closest to Ma Yingjie swung his sword violently. His whole body was enveloped in glittering golden light. He chopped with all his strength, and the puppet instantly turned into pieces and disappeared.
At the same time, the golden light on the warrior disappeared along with the puppet, and the warrior's violent proficiency also increased a little. In the next second, another puppet was refreshed again, and the warrior used the violent skill again. This is the use of the skill hall, which can reduce your skill cooldown to the lowest one second instant. I heard that the VIP service of 50 gold coins per month also comes with free drinks.
Ma Yingjie was looking for the fallen redbud flowers in the empty skill hall. There were not many people there to begin with, and they were scattered in various corners. It was really troublesome to get up early.
Looking at the various lights coming from all directions, Ma Yingjie quickly locked onto an area in the west, where the sound of arrows breaking through the air could be heard from time to time. If there was no second archer here, then the arrows would undoubtedly cause the redbud flowers to fall.
However, Ma Yi was not a prophet, so he was just guessing. When he got there, he saw a male player wearing unique archer equipment and holding an elf bow.
"Hey, handsome guy who's not as handsome as me, look at how well I shoot my arrows." The male archer heard some noise behind him, turned around and posed, while picking his nose with his fingers.
Ma Yingjie had an urge to beat this guy into a pig's head. This urge came from a nerve in his heart. It was not because Ma Yingjie was violent, but because he was too disgusting.
Lu Hao was too lazy to pay attention to him. He couldn't PK in the skill hall. He continued to look for the trace of the fallen redbud flower.
"Hey, you barely handsome guy, you haven't said whether my arrows are good or not." A dissatisfied call came from behind. After a casual scan, Ma Yingjie replied directly: "The accuracy is not bad. Two of the ten arrows hit the target, and one was on the outside and missed the bull's eye. If you buy a lottery ticket with this probability, you will definitely win the jackpot."
After saying that, he ignored the archer's roar and walked forward.
"Hey, you're finally here. My sniping proficiency has improved a lot." The Withered Bauhinia looked at Lu Hao who was late, and waved the Compound Chaos Bow in dissatisfaction. The beautiful face of the Withered Bauhinia, in the white light that occasionally sprinkled from the top of the skill hall, was like an angel descending to the mortal world.
But it was obviously just Ma Yingjie's illusion. Who has ever seen an angel with a stern face and a ferocious look towards him?
"I have no choice. Life forces me to do this. If I don't exchange some RMB, I will have to live on the streets and pick up scraps." The words were a bit exaggerated. He would not live on the streets. Although his hut was dilapidated, it could still shelter him from the wind and rain. It was true that he had no money to buy food. He only had 1.6 yuan on him, which was not enough for a pack of instant noodles. The food stored at home was also gone. If he didn't get some money, he would have to harm other members of the Gang of Four. Although Ma Yingjie didn't want to do this, he would eat and drink at the three people's homes when he had no money, and everyone was used to it.
"You're not exaggerating, are you? I still owe you a commission of 200,000 gold coins. Tell me your bank account number and I'll give you a discount." After carefully examining Ma Yingjie and feeling that he was not lying, the withered Bauhinia remembered that she still owed Ma Yingjie a lot of commission.
"Of course it's no problem. The damn Yitian Company will charge a 5% handling fee. This exchange and withdrawal will be 10%. It's better to give it to me than to let Yitian Company make money for nothing." Of course, Lu Hao wanted it. This way, he didn't have to queue up anymore, and he didn't have to worry about the price fluctuations in the exchange market like the stock market. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was most cost-effective to exchange game coins in the early stage. The more game coins there were in the game, the less valuable they were.
"You wishful thinking, Yitian doesn't charge the handling fee, but I will, so I'll just give you a whole number of one million." The withered Bauhinia rolled her eyes at Ma Yingjie and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, why is the exchange rate so high? If I had known that the game coins were so valuable, I should have given him 20,000."
"Capitalist." Ma Yingjie looked down on her and sent her his bank account number, waiting for the money to be transferred in real life. Alas, she made more than one million in such a short period of time. It was like a dream.
"It's getting late now, I might as well practice my skills. My sniping is almost at the intermediate level."
"Got it. I wonder if I can get a commission for practicing skills with you?" Lu Hao said half-jokingly, and then imagined it in his mind, and a selection interface appeared in Lu Hao's mind. Lu Hao chose the mage from the major categories, and then chose others from the various mage categories, and finally locked on the necromancer profession.
"Excuse me, which skill do you want to practice to improve your proficiency?" A soft voice sounded.
"Bone Shield." All of his other upgradeable skills have been trained to the intermediate level, except for Bone Shield and Bone Dungeon, which are still at the elementary level.
"Okay, please wait." The beautiful girl's voice sounded again, and Ma Yingjie felt that the space around him suddenly changed. A priest holding a staff and wearing a white robe suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.
The system prompt sounded again: "Now you can use the bone shield skill. Every time you use it, the priest will immediately purify it for you, and you can use it repeatedly."
Really? Ma Yingjie smiled secretly. He was immune to light magic, and any light magic would not harm him. As for the idea of the priest adding blood, it was simply a ridiculous luxury for a necromancer. Light magic could only cause damage to the dead. Even a small healing spell would cause pain to dark creatures.
"The forerunner of darkness, the remnant of immortality, as a person under the dark covenant, I beg for your blessing. Please grant me a powerful protection - the bone shield." Lu Hao chanted the spell with a solemn expression, and the moment the spell was finished, a thick layer of bones wrapped himself up.
Then a holy light struck Lu Hao's body, and the bone shield on Lu Hao's body instantly broke into pieces and was purified by the holy light. The holy light swept over Lu Hao's body and made him feel warm and comfortable. However, he would not be harmed by light magic, and his bone shield still did not have this protection agreement.
He summoned a bone shield again, which was purified by the priest holding up his staff. Damn, light magic is indeed the nemesis of dark creatures. If he was not immune to light magic, he would have to hide from priests and light knights in the future.
In addition to healing players, light magic rarely has any attacking magic, and it can only be used against dark creatures to achieve powerful lethality. Of course, if a priest reaches level 80 and learns high-level magic such as Holy Judgment, the lethality can even compete with that of a magician, but level 80? That's a very distant thing.
