Chapter 117 The Last Wish

The original altar.

Qi Sheng was browsing the most recently updated strategy posts on the forum.

After the players in the nursery group successfully took in the Sanshi Soul, the forum conducted a simulated test and review of the new Soul.

As the 25th original monster taken in by the player, Sanya seems to be just an inconspicuous first-generation original monster.

But the appearance of the Scattered Arrow Bow filled a gap in the occupational classification of the monster world.

That is the remote physical output genre.

After testing by players who are into strategy on the forum, it was found that the strength of the Scattered Arrow Soul is very high, and its original characteristic effect is that it can cut all attacks into multiple offensives.

Even if it is a magic player, it can produce miraculous effects by inlaying.

For example, the Ink Flame Fireball of the Bone Fire Soul can be cut into multiple pieces for range attacks after being inlaid with Scattered Arrows.

Before this, the Ink Flame attack could only speed up the output frequency, but each fireball launched was a single attack, but Scattered Arrows could cut the Ink Flame into group fireballs.

In terms of power, the rule characteristics of the Scattered Arrow Soul allow the cut ability to retain 20% of its effect, and no matter how many pieces it is cut, the 20% effect can be maintained, and the specific number of cuts is affected by the level of the Scattered Arrow Soul.

Or you can bind the soul, and after adding scatter arrows, you can turn a single-target immobilization effect into a group immobilization effect.

The only thing that bothers magic players is that after the level of the Scattered Arrow Soul is increased, the main attribute that increases is not mental strength, but physical fitness.

In the evaluation of the strategy party players, scattered arrows are used as the main weapon, and there is no need to carry arrows every time the bow is drawn.

It will automatically extract the player's health value and condense it into health arrows for release.

Whether it is the bonus ratio of the main attribute or the consumption of the scattered arrow bow characteristics, it is more in line with the physical school.

This made many magic players wail.

The characteristic effect is so suitable for the magic soul, but it is incompatible with the magic profession in terms of attribute bonus and characteristic consumption.

After half a day of testing, there are three Star Vein combinations that received the highest likes from forum players.

The first combination is proposed by Dark Night: weapon spirit burst flow.

The matching souls are: Scattered Arrows + Powerful Axe + Crushing Knife + Soul-Separating Spear + Extreme Speed.

This Star Vein style focuses on explosive output. The Scattered Arrow Bow provides long-range single-target output or group output, the Force Axe increases the physical damage value, the Shattering characteristic increases the numerical damage, and the Soul-Separation Spear creates a mental shock.

It not only has super high output damage, but also can cause additional mental damage. The test results are excellent, and the output efficiency is not inferior to the mainstream magic system.

Finally, combined with extreme speed, you can shoot more than ten arrows in one second at critical moments, causing explosive damage.

The second combination was proposed by the forum strategy player "超神小鸡仔": Functional Magic Arrow.

The matching soul combination is: Scattered Arrow + Binding + Black Armored Snake (Venomous) + Forbidden Blade.

Although this style ranks second in likes, its overall strength is higher than the burst style proposed by Night is Coming.

Especially suitable for team battles.

The effect is to output group special effects through scattered arrows.

In the demonstration screen, the super chicken drew the bow and shot out ten blood arrows, hitting ten targets in front of it respectively.

The target hit is simultaneously restrained and inflicted with the cumulative damage effects of Poison and Forbidden Blade. It performed brilliantly in the test, with sustained output and functionality far superior to the weapon spirit burst flow.

The third-ranked school of thought was proposed by the forum strategy player "Reading to Support the Family": Speedy Ranger.

The matching Star Pulse combination is: Scattered Arrow + Speed ​​+ Dusk + Breath.

This combination is not as good as the above two Star Vein combinations in output, but it is better in mobility.

Its characteristic is that it can quickly move around through the Dusk Soul, and after revealing itself, it can quickly deal a set of high-frequency burst damage, and then continue to switch to Dusk to escape, using the characteristics of eating air to restore the blood loss caused by the output, and wait for the opportunity to attack again.

This combination is more like a ranged assassin, very suitable for players who have no skills but want to be as elegant as an assassin.

Each of the three combinations has its own advantages and disadvantages, but the performance of each in the evaluation is better than the others.

This also attracted many players to change their Star Vein combinations.

Among them, there are many like Mengwa, who have always been looking forward to the long-range physical school, and now they have finally waited for the opportunity to change their careers.

The only shortcoming of the scattered arrow bow is its hit rate.

For players who have experienced long-range physical output professions such as archers in other virtual games, it only takes a short training to skillfully use the scattered arrow bow as a weapon.

But for players who have never played this game before, it will take some time to practice in order to accurately hit the target.

The emergence of the scattered arrow bow also provides a new growth direction for the player's legion in the combat profession.

As more and more original monsters are contained, the choice of growth genres is showing a diversified development trend.

In addition to the offensive, defensive, and functional types in the big system, each system has spawned different gameplay styles, each with its own advantages.

And this is exactly the development trend that Qi Sheng wants to see.

The challenges that players will face in the future are very daunting.

The terrifying black tide, the fighting Zerg, the mechanical legion, the ancient gods... perhaps there are other forces that have not yet appeared and are emerging in the monster world. Only by developing a diversified combat power system can we deal with powerful enemies of different styles and characteristics and adapt to combat in complex environments.

Although it has been more than two months since the server was launched.

But in Qi Sheng's eyes, the development of the player army is still in its infancy, and there is still more combat power construction that needs to be expanded.

For example, the "armed vehicle" function of the Challenger system is already being connected.

Other systems that are being planned include an all-round automatic training system, a skill guidance system, a pet system, etc.

However, the creation of these features requires huge manpower expenditure and certain technical support, and some content has to be explored and collected by players.

For example, an all-purpose automatic cultivation system requires a special organ that can perfectly adapt to all cultivation techniques.

It is also necessary to add an automatic operation program based on this organ, allowing players to drive the "omnipotent organ" by burning sacrificial power, so that it is always in a state of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, bringing players a continuous increase in body building experience.

This setting can significantly speed up the player's physical level improvement, thereby accelerating the player's growth rate.

In the future, it will become very difficult to improve the body forging level. Every 10 levels will be a bottleneck, and the energy required will increase several times.

Without fully automatic cultivation methods to speed up growth, players who want to combine star veins of dozens of souls will be severely limited by the speed of improving their body forging levels.

But Qi Sheng is currently unable to perform this function.

After asking Jiuyin, who controls the power of purification, he learned that it would require a huge amount of energy to create a fully automatic cultivation system without a reference template.

The current amount of sacrifice power produced by players is simply not enough to support it.

Therefore, many of the conceptual settings are still in the idea stage.

At this stage, the consumption of sacrificial energy must also give priority to player recruitment, territory division, special events, and other content.

The creation of all new features must be based on whether the player's current sacrifice output value matches.

……

Colorful Mist Coast, the land of the Dayan tribe.

It was just daybreak when Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng woke up.

Standing in front of the old house dedicated to the gods, they began to stretch, mentally prepared for a new round of torture from Lao Deng.

After these days of hard training, they have cultivated the painful soul bestowed by Lao Deng to level 12, and their strength has increased rapidly.

The second is the body-building level. With the financial resources accumulated by Lao Deng, their body-building levels have reached level 5, and the speed of improvement is comparable to riding a rocket.

The only downside is that the process is quite painful.

After finishing a set of stretching exercises, Xia Sheng was puzzled:

"Hey, why hasn't Lao Deng come yet?"

"Did he oversleep?" Jiang Cheng took a bite of the spiritual fruit he took out from the space bag, chewed it and made a guess.

"Impossible. Do you really think that Lao Deng disappeared to sleep? He could go without sleep for several days... Could something have happened?"

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other, and then decisively ran towards the dilapidated house not far away.

Although they called him Lao Deng, they could feel Kuxing's care and attention for them during these days of contact. He spent his accumulated resources on them without any regrets, which made them develop feelings for Kuxing.

Thinking of Kuxing's increasingly weak appearance these days, they suddenly had a bad feeling.

I’m afraid Lao Deng didn’t make it through last night and never woke up.

Pushing open the old wooden door, I saw Kuxing sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, his face pale. Through the analysis feedback, it can be found that Kuxing is in an extremely weak state.

This made Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng feel uneasy.

Lao Deng's condition has become serious again. If he continues in this state, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer.

When he noticed them entering the house, Kuxing opened his eyes.

"Lao Deng, your condition has become serious again." Xia Sheng said with a worried look when he came to the wooden bed.

Kuxing did not answer, but reached out and took off the dark green bracelet on his left wrist:
"I don't have much time left. These are the cultivation resources I have accumulated. I will now give them all to you... But there are not many resources left. They have basically been consumed in your cultivation these days. The remaining ones can still help you cultivate for a few more days."

Hearing this, Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng felt uncomfortable.

They were naturally aware of Lao Deng's situation, and he had already reached the end of his life.

They often joke that when Lao Deng passes away, the estate will belong to them.

But when the time really came, they were filled with reluctance.

"Lao Deng, how long can you hold on?" Xia Sheng asked with a complicated expression without taking the bracelet.

"I can only hold out for seven days at most, and then the fire of my life will burn out... But before my life burns out, I still have one thing to do."

"Lao Deng, tell us what you need and we will do it for you."

Hearing this, Kuxing forced a smile on his wrinkled face, then shook his head:
"I have to do this. You are my successors and you shouldn't take risks with me."

Realizing that Kuxing wanted to kill the evil spirit at the last moment of his life, Xia Sheng immediately said:

"Lao Deng, you should have a good rest. We will kill the evil spirits."

"The purpose of building a ship is to sail, not to dock. I created the Touch of Pain to resist the invasion of evil spirits. My life is coming to an end, but I have never ridden it to ride the wind and waves. Now I want to try to control my sinking old ship, do my best to dispel the evil spirits, and clear the darkness for my homeland."

As he spoke, Kuxing's aura began to rise steadily.

The energy and blood began to burn violently, as if making a last-ditch effort.

Seeing this scene, Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng stopped talking.

They knew that stopping him at this time would not change the inevitable death of Ku Xing, so it would be better to help him and let him fight to his heart's content with the "touch of pain" created by his own hands in the last moments of his life.

"Bearing the hatred of genocide, Lao Deng has lived in pain all his life. It's time to release the repressed emotions." Jiang Cheng said in the voice channel.

"Yes, we can't let Lao Deng die with hatred and pain. This battle is also a moment of revenge in Lao Deng's eyes. It may not have much impact on the invasion of the Black Tide, but at least he tried his best."

After figuring out the reason, Xia Sheng's eyes moistened. He reached out to take the bracelet from Ku Xing's hand and said with a forced smile:

"Lao Deng, go ahead and have a good fight. We brothers will take over your legacy. Do you have any last wishes before you leave?"

"Please erect a stone tablet for me in the cemetery in front of the Great Yan Clan. May my soul return after dying in battle and stay with my people forever."

"Okay." Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng nodded solemnly.

"Oh right... you must remember that the practice of the Touch of Pain is a long process of climbing. Don't resist the pain, but regard it as a whetstone for your growth and also as nutrition. Only by accepting it can you climb higher mountains."

"We understand... Lao Deng, why don't we go with you? We are not afraid of death."

"No, this is my journey home, I don't need your company... You are so hypocritical. I chose you because of your strong willpower, but I didn't expect you to be so sad about the separation of life and death."

As he spoke, Kuxing grinned and said:
"Go and pursue your own path. In the future, help me fight against the Black Tide."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuxing's aura rose again.

Under the watchful eyes of Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng, Ku Xing's hunting level also increased.

The physical changes were even more amazing. The once cloudy and tired eyes gradually became bright and sharp, and the yellow blurry substances completely disappeared.

Then, the wrinkled and loose skin gradually regained its elasticity under the infusion of qi and blood in the body, and the luster radiated from the inside out, as if time had never left any traces on it.

Accompanied by crackling sounds.

There was a sound like frying beans coming from Kuxing's body, and his body quickly rose higher.

The originally hunched body became upright, and the bones and muscles in the body were reshaped by the energy infusion after the burning of qi and blood.

As the body rejuvenates, every breath thereafter seems to draw the energy of heaven and earth into the body.

The originally damaged body is rejuvenated by the burning and nourishment of qi and blood.

And quickly recovered to near peak condition.

When Kuxing stood up, he had turned into a young man of about twenty years old.

His handsome face was like a work of art carefully crafted by a sculptor, with clear facial contours, thin lips tightly pursed under the high nose bridge, and eyes that seemed to be filled with stars, deep and bright. The sunlight shining through the window sprinkled on his skin, reflecting a healthy wheat color. He had an upright figure, smooth but not exaggerated muscle lines, and a head of messy, shiny black hair draped over his shoulders, adding a bit of unruly and unrestrained elegance.

"Lao Deng, so handsome!" Jiang Cheng exclaimed at this time.

"When I was young, your master was the most handsome man in the tribe, but that's all in the past." A charming smile appeared on Kuxing's face.

As he said that, he pushed the door and left the room. Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng followed him out of the room.

"Old Deng, just leaving like that?"

"Our fate ends here. What follows is my last dance at the end of my life. You don't need to follow me."

As he said this, Ku Xing turned around and glanced at Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng. Seeing the sparkling eyes in their eyes, he couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Don't feel sad for me. I have already prepared to face death. Meeting two of you at the critical moment and leaving behind a legacy is worth my life... We say goodbye now. Remember to erect a monument for me."

After he finished speaking, Kuxing turned into a stream of blood-red light, flew straight into the sky, and sped in the opposite direction of the sea.

"Lao Deng, you are confused. There is an evil spirit on the other side of the sea. You are flying in the wrong direction."

Facing Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng's cries, Ku Xing's voice came from a distance:
"There are no evil spirits in the Evil Moon area there. It's just a group of derived evil spirits. My life is almost over, so I must kill an evil spirit anyway, hahahaha."

The laughter faded away, and the ascetic figure disappeared into the horizon.

Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

Xia Sheng whispered at this time:

"Orange, you said this is just a game, why do we feel so involved?"

"I don't know. I kept telling myself that this is just a game, but I still couldn't help but cry. Lao Deng is so good to us that I don't want to see him go." Jiang Cheng wiped away tears with red eyes.

"Let's go find a Feng Shui treasured spot for Lao Deng to erect a monument. We'll kowtow to him before we leave."

"No, Lao Deng is not dead yet. We have to wait for a few days at least."

"That's right. Then we'll stay for two more days and wait until Lao Deng is almost dead before setting up the tombstone."

"Well, stay for a few more days." Jiang Cheng nodded, then asked curiously:
"By the way, how much inheritance did Lao Deng leave us?"

Faced with the question, Xia Sheng looked down at the space bracelet in his hand. After using his perception consciousness to touch it, the space inside the bracelet appeared in his mind.

The space inside is not big, and it is filled with many spiritual plants and prepared spiritual liquids.

Xia Sheng turned his head and looked at the guiding water ball floating beside him:

"Guide, calculate the value."

[Including the sacrifice of all space bracelets, the value is 133822 sacrifice power. ]

After taking out everything inside and storing it in the system's built-in space bag, Xia Sheng wanted to sacrifice the space bracelet to Emperor Zhao, but he paused after calling out the sacrifice panel, and then couldn't help shaking his head:

"What was I thinking just now? It was really a beastly behavior. This is the last thought that Lao Deng left for us. We should keep it in the space bag forever."

"Well, keep it. Maybe we will meet Lao Deng again someday in the future, and then we can return it to him." Jiang Cheng also nodded at this time.

"What's the matter?" Xia Sheng couldn't help but stare, as if he couldn't believe that such outrageous words came out of the mouth of his good brother.

Facing the question, Jiang Cheng analyzed seriously:
"According to the game settings, the Origin's characteristics are divided into ten generations. The weakest is the first generation, and the strongest is the tenth generation. Maybe the tenth generation Origin has the powerful characteristic of resurrecting life. When we return one day in the future, we can perform a resurrection spell on Lao Deng and meet again."

After hearing this, Xia Sheng seemed speechless:

"Your hypothesis does have some possibilities, but the problem is that we don't know where Lao Deng died. How can we revive him? Cast a resurrection spell on the air?"

"Shit, that's true. How about we look in the direction where Lao Deng flew away? Maybe we can find his remains after his death in the battle and put them in our space bag so we can find a chance to revive him in the future?"

"Do you really want to do this? Lao Deng has suffered enough in his life. It would be a good thing for him to be freed quickly. Don't disturb the dead soul and let him go."

"Listen to you."

"So what should we do now?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.

"Go to the Great Yan Clan Cemetery ahead and find a Feng Shui treasure land. When the time is right, dig a hole and erect a monument. Then kowtow and leave."
