Chapter 56 A New Epiphany
Chapter 56 A New Epiphany
System prompt: Killing the 'Bone Chewer' earned 385 experience points, and you have been upgraded.
With a flash of white light, Xiao Jie reached level 4.
Phew, finally done.
Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he had calculated precisely in his mind, he still couldn't help feeling nervous when facing the huge monster rushing towards him.
After all, the price of failure is death.
And the moment of killing the monster, the full sense of accomplishment is completely incomparable to those ordinary games in the past.
This is probably the charm of the death game.
By the way, I want to become an immortal!
Xiao Jie hurriedly ran towards the barn, and in a short while he had flown the Bone Chewer kite more than two hundred meters away.
I ran out of the barn in one breath, and saw from afar that I was waving my battle axe against the attacks of two rats. Relying on the toughness effect of the Stone-Splitting Slash, I dealt damage to the two rats.
Broken Tooth was biting a mouse, and Meatball was being chased by two mice, screaming and running away. There were several dead mice around.
It turns out that you still need teammates to play games, otherwise he would be helpless if he relied on himself facing such a group of rats.
Stone-splitting chop! I want to become an immortal. With one swipe of the axe, a mouse was chopped to the ground.
Another rat bit him, causing my health bar, which was already low, to drop even further, leaving only more than 30 health bars.
Damn, this guy is too reckless.
Xiao Jie rushed forward to help take on the monsters, knocked one down with a few slashes, and then went to help Meatball. These big rats were easy to deal with without the support of the giant rat.
Finally, the last big rat was chopped down.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, both of them felt like they had survived a disaster.
This time it was really thrilling, completely different from the previous battles where the overall situation was under control.
I must not be so rash next time... But when I think about it, it’s hard to say that there is any other choice. Should I just not open the door of the barn?
All I can say is to be more prepared next time.
Fortunately, we brought two dogs this time, which shared a lot of the pressure, especially Meatball, who had to lead five or six big rats around for several circles. He was bitten several times because he didn't run fast. He looked very miserable.
Xiao Jie threw out a meat bun and watched Meatball gobble it up. His health slowly recovered, and he thought that although this dog food was a bit expensive, it was definitely worth it.
Now that the battle was over, he added attribute points first.
Endurance +2 points. Stamina is still very important. When I was kite flying, I was almost caught up several times because of running out of stamina.
Agility + two points, the main attribute is of course the most important.
Constitution +1 point. Health is never too low.
In this way, his attributes become.
Constitution 13: HP 130.
Endurance 12: Stamina 600. Carrying capacity 60.
Agility 17+3=20 (Lynx Leather Boots +2 Agility).
Strength 10. Basic attack power 10, weapon weight limit 10.
By the way, I just had an epiphany.
Xiao Jie hurriedly clicked on the epiphany icon in the center of the screen.
[Words of Enlightenment: In the process of running and shooting arrows, you have mastered the technique of accurate shooting while moving, and thus comprehended the skill - [Steady Shooting].
Steady Shooting (Beginner)
Applicable weapons: bows, crossbows, and throwing weapons.
Use requires: concentration.
Skill Effect: Reduces accuracy loss of archery and throwing while moving quickly.
Skill description: A combat technique that the nameless hunter suddenly realized while hunting fat giant rats. It allows the hunter to accurately shoot targets while moving quickly.
Steady hands and swift legs can make the kill so easy - so the hunter said. 】
This skill is great. It will be much easier to kite monsters in the future. Of course, the premise is that you can run faster than the monsters.
Moving quickly? I don't know if riding a horse counts. If it does, I'll try to learn horse riding skills and practice mounted shooting in the future. Wouldn't I be invincible in outdoor battles?
Xiao Jie was in a good mood after suddenly realizing the new skill.
The next step is to search the corpses. The drops from this group of big rats are still very rubbish, only rat meat and rat skin. They are probably worth a few copper coins if thrown into the store, or can be used directly as dog food.
What is really worth looking forward to is the giant rat 'Bone Chewer'.
Xiao Jie and I found the body of the Bone Chewer and thought that there must be something good in this thing.
Xiao Jie touched it with great anticipation. The giant rat lived up to his expectations and dropped two green-quality items. Although they were not as good as blue ones, they were still pretty good.
The first item is a piece of animal skin.
[Large piece of demonized animal hide (leather/fine)
Item Description: Leather dropped by demonized beasts, can be used to make fine leather armor equipment, and is a very high-quality leather material. The second item is a piece of armor, which is actually a full metal scale armor, but it is covered with rust and seems to have been severely corroded.
[Rusty Iron Scale Armor (Breastplate/Excellent)
Weight: 18.
Personal defense +22.
Equipment Effect: Resistance to piercing. 20% enhanced defense against piercing damage.
Item Description: Rusted iron scale armor has higher defense than leather armor and can effectively protect against arrow attacks. It is a common protective gear for state soldiers. 】
What a good thing! 22 levels of defense is quite powerful for resisting damage in the early stage. It can almost make it immune to attacks against monsters with low damage like scarecrow.
For high-attack monsters like bandits, the damage can be reduced by at least one third.
It's just that the weight is a bit high. If you want to wear it yourself, it will have a great impact on your speed.
The equipment weight in this game is divided into three levels.
Light, with a load below 33%, without any penalty.
Medium, weight below 66%, movement speed reduced by 10%, jump and roll distance reduced by 20%.
Heavy, load below 99%, movement speed reduced by 30%, jump and roll distance reduced by 50%.
Overweight, carrying more than 100% of the load, unable to run, jump, or roll, and can only walk slowly.
Xiao Jie's current endurance is 12 points and his load capacity is 60, which means that he must ensure that the total weight of his equipment is below 20 to ensure that there is no penalty.
He was now wearing a mix of leather and cloth, with a total weight of 16 points, which was considered light weight.
But once you put on this scale armor, the weight will directly increase to 38, which is medium weight, just a little bit short of heavy weight.
As the saying goes, there is no martial arts in the world that is invincible except speed. After enjoying the thrill of kite-flying the BOSS, Xiao Jie is ready to take the lightest weight route possible.
Although this armor is good, it does not suit him.
"You take the armor, and I'll just take the animal skins." Xiao Jie said.
Although this animal skin is of low value, maybe I can make some leather armor out of it later.
"Brother Feng..." I was hesitant to speak, this BOSS was almost defeated by Xiao Jie alone, and it was a bit embarrassing to let him take the lion's share.
"Cut the crap. Since we're going to team up together, don't be so polite. Besides, I didn't say anything when you gave me dog food before."
"Okay, I won't be polite." I put on the iron scale armor when I wanted to become an immortal, and I immediately felt safe.
It's a bit heavy, but he doesn't have any body skills anyway, and he'll always be caught when he rolls. He might as well go the heavy-armored warrior route and fight the enemy head-on.
If you need to escape, just take off the armor.
Anyway, it’s not that troublesome to take off equipment in the game, just click and drag the mouse.
After distributing the BOSS's equipment, the harvesting process is not over yet.
Based on Xiao Jie's gaming experience, there might be something good hidden in this barn, otherwise Mr. Tian would not have hidden the key on his body.
The two men came to the barn, walked in and took a look. Suddenly, their eyes lit up. In the darkness, a wooden box suddenly appeared in front of them.
The corners of the box are inlaid with copper, which makes it particularly conspicuous in the dilapidated barn, and it feels like a treasure chest.
"Grandpa Tian's treasure must be hidden in here!" I said excitedly, and couldn't wait to open it.
Bang! Copper coins kept popping out of the box, and all kinds of equipment covered the ground in the blink of an eye.
Holy shit! I was shocked. It was his first time to open a treasure chest, and he didn’t expect the effect to be so amazing.
Xiao Jie was also quite surprised, but when the two of them slowly picked up and checked the equipment on the ground, Xiao Jie became so angry that he started cursing.
"Are you kidding me? Is this Mr. Tian a rag collector? He has collected so much garbage."
Worn cowhide boots, damaged leather gauntlets, inferior leather breastplate, old linen belt...
All of it was gray and white. Seventeen pieces in total.
It's true that Mr. Tian started out his life frugally. He really knows how to live, and he has saved up so much garbage.
In addition, there were more than five hundred coins, several accessories without any attributes, and a strange stone.
[Strange stone seal (unidentified)
Item Description: A stone seal with strange symbols drawn on its surface. It seems to be very ancient. It needs to be identified to understand its specific purpose. 】
Among these things, only this one may have some value.
However, how to identify it is also a problem. I have to ask Wang Kai or Ye Luo later.
