Chapter 145 New Abilities and New Buildings
Chapter 145 New Abilities and New Buildings
Although the time required for version updates is not long, it still feels like a year for the players who are eagerly waiting.
So, at the moment the maintenance ended, a group of long-awaited players flocked into the game.
Fight monsters? What monsters?
The first thing players naturally do is to experience the new features.
[Candlelight Bone Whistle: Blow the bone whistle to summon a candlelight spirit horse as your means of transportation. ]
[Required to unlock ability: 100 wax oil]
Of course the players laughed when they saw the new abilities.
But when they saw that it took 100 wax oils to unlock the ability, they immediately retracted their bared teeth.
"Damn, 100 wax oil, it's so damn expensive why don't you just go grab it!"
"Tonic medicine, I really don't want to be a jailer anymore!"
"When will this game open a recharge channel? Please! My liver really can't take it anymore!"
For a moment, the players wailed.
But there are naturally rich guys among the players, such as Mushroom who doesn’t have to go to work today.
"One hundred wax oil? So cheap?" Mushroom waved his hand and unlocked both skills directly.
[You have consumed 100 wax oils to unlock a new ability: Candlelight Bone Whistle]
[You have consumed 100 wax oil to unlock a new ability: Critical Strike]
The power of the spiritual candle circled around the mushroom's candle spirit body and then split into two streams. One turned into a jade-white bone whistle placed in the palm of his hand, and the other merged into his body.
"Damn it! A big boss is a big boss. He just casually took out 200 bottles of wax oil!"
"Mushroom is such a scoundrel! I don't know how much wax oil he has stored!"
"Capitalists, tut!"
"One of the elegant seats under the streetlight!"
The other players' eyes suddenly turned red with envy.
But jokes aside, after complaining, they still obediently surrounded the mushroom in a circle, looking forward to seeing him demonstrate his new abilities.
Mushroom did not disappoint their expectations. He first took out the candlelight bone whistle, put it to his mouth and blew it gently.
Suddenly, a clear whistle sounded.
The azure power of the candlelight spread out from it, turning into tiny candlelight points that gathered together, and in the blink of an eye, it outlined a nimble spirit horse.
"Eh..."
The candlelight spirit horse snorted and stepped lightly on the burning blue candlelight with its hooves. Its mane danced like fireworks and flames flickered in its eyes.
Mushroom's eyes lit up, and he reached out and patted the horse's neck a few times, and the spirit horse gradually calmed down.
As soon as the Candlefire Spirit Horse appeared, the players were immediately in an uproar.
"Damn, so handsome?"
"Ahhhhh, my little pony, wait for me! I'll go work and buy you right away!"
"Is there a hell horse like the one in Ghost Rider? I want that!"
"...Although this Candlelight Spirit Horse is indeed very handsome, I have to say that we are not playing on an island map. This horse should not be of much use, right?"
"Who knows? Will there be a bigger map in the future?"
"..."
A group of players were talking about it.
What's worse, some people can't help but flatter him directly.
Bang!
The Candlefire Spirit Horse seemed to have a bad temper. Facing this impolite player, it directly kicked him from behind, kicking him several meters away.
The other players burst into laughter upon seeing this.
"Stop touching the mushrooms. The horse's neck is almost peeled off by your touching. Ride it for a few laps to show your brothers!" a player urged anxiously.
Mushroom heard this and immediately spread his hands helplessly: "Do you think I don't want to? The game has given a hint that you can't ride a horse on Zhuxin Island."
"Why do you care so much? The horse is right under your nose. Go up and give it a try. Quick!"
Hearing this, Mushroom had no choice but to get on the horse. While purchasing the ability, he also gained the ability to ride a horse, which was very thoughtful.
However, just as he sat on the horse, the Candlelight Spirit Horse instantly turned into a little flame and disappeared into the air, and the mushroom that suddenly fell down almost made him fall.
"Fuck, that's boring. I'm only there to show you but I won't use it."
"Come on, it's good enough that I can show it to you. If Zhuxin Island could ride horses, it would probably become a racecourse in no time."
Although Zhuxin Island has undergone several expansions and has become larger in scope, it is ultimately just a small island and cannot withstand too many players' reckless construction.
What's more, a lot of newbies have joined recently. If Rogge hadn't chosen some other birth points, I'm afraid Zhuxin Island would have been crowded.
Afterwards, players naturally turned their attention to the newly added ability [Critical Strike].
[Critical Hit: When the enemy is dizzy or unbalanced, you can seize the opportunity to launch a critical hit on it, with a high probability of causing double damage of the current attack power, and a very small probability of deducting health points according to the percentage of its health value. ]
"Execution? This is the execution strike, right?"
"Execution of what?"
"Let's just say it, be civil to each other, thank you."
"Damn, it's another censored version. The basic abilities of characters in other games are not only censored in Lingzhu, but you also have to pay to buy them. Who can I complain to?"
"Shit, this isn't right? Another melee-only ability?"
"Damn it! Why don't we wizards have special candle spirit abilities?"
"What special power do you want? Avada Ken-da-gua?"
"We are strengthening the low-intelligence knights and low-intelligence warriors again!"
"I really don't know what this planner was thinking. The horse was confiscated! Really..."
Some players started complaining, while others went straight to the Murloc coach and started trying out the new abilities.
The results were somewhat unexpected.
What I mean here is not that there is anything unexpected about the critical strike ability itself. After players activate this ability, they basically trigger the previous multiple damage, and the percentage damage is almost never triggered. Moreover, it is obvious that this ability is more effective when used in conjunction with the blocking ability.
The surprising thing is that the mage can actually deliver a [critical blow]!
thump—
A dull blocking sound was heard, followed by a huge shock, and the fishman suddenly entered a brief state of unbalance.
The opponent's eyes lit up, and he instinctively drew out his staff and pressed it against the fishman's chest, and then, a light suddenly shone!
With a bang, the fishman was knocked back more than ten meters, leaving a long mark on the beach, and finally turned into a handful of ashes and died completely.
"I rely on!"
"Our wizard actually has his own execution move! So cool, brothers!"
"This execution is really exciting, the tension is just right!"
"Ahhhhh, planning baby, I wronged you. I will be your mother, muah~"
"Fuck, there's more than one execution move, and it can be done remotely too!"
"Backstabbing and stealing anus counts! Hahahaha! It feels good!"
"Planning Dad, you are my dad. I was ignorant just now. I will kill you right now!"
"..."
After realizing this, the wizard players who were just shivering with anger suddenly smiled. They all looked like dogs. They were baring their teeth and about to bite people just now, but now they are wagging their tails again...
……
In addition to the newly added candle spirit abilities, the new candle spirit buildings are naturally also attracting a lot of attention.
The Demon Hut was upgraded to the second level, and the happiest thing was the Mushroom.
After experiencing his new ability, he immediately went to the second-level Demon Hut.
After the upgrade, the Demon Hut seemed to have expanded a little and became a little more refined than before.
After entering, the Demon Hut looked a lot more spacious.
After touching the fire, it was the familiar process of handing in wax oil to upgrade, but this was not a problem for the mushroom, which had earned a lot of wax oil. After the upgrade, the mushroom explored the refining table and the planting area, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"The second-level three-type basic potion is an upgraded version of the previous one, with an additional step of grinding..."
"A second-level magic seed has appeared, and it costs more..."
After reading it, Mushroom scratched his head, feeling a little disappointed.
He thought that there would be a completely new formula this time, so he could conduct relevant speculative experiments based on the original formula, which would have a much higher probability of success than just blindly mixing the formula without knowing anything.
No matter what subject it is, it is extremely difficult to make progress without the accumulation of our ancestors.
Moreover, there are still too few players who focus on Spirit Candle Alchemy, and it is still very difficult for Mushroom to explore alone.
"I wonder if there will be a copy of the potion next..."
Mushroom was looking forward to this.
……
The upgrade of the Demon Hut seems unremarkable.
The upgrade of the Spirit Fire Port was also as expected by the players, and the Spirit Fire Ship underwent another reconstruction.
[Can consume 80 wax oil to reconstruct the Spirit Fire Ship into a Spirit Fire Sail]
"Damn, it's getting more expensive."
"Ah, I have no money in my pocket..."
"Damn it, did the candle keeper steal our wax? Why am I still so poor after killing so many monsters? I can't even upgrade a sailboat."
"It's hard to say."
"Hush! Keep your voice down. Don't you know that the candle keeper is a little mean?"
Lingzhu's behavior of asking for "money" everywhere naturally attracted a lot of cursing from the players, and some players even attributed their poverty to the innocent candle keeper.
The world is really going downhill... Rogge sighed and silently raised the wax oil commission for these two players...
However, since the "commercialization" of spirit candles, some "get-rich-first" people have emerged among the player community. They are in high spirits and directly reconstruct their small boats into spirit fire sails.
Not long after.
One after another, spirit fire ships with white sails, which were larger than the original spirit fire ships, appeared.
【Spirit Fire Sail】
[Type: Spirit Candle Creation]
[Effect: Can protect the candle spirit and slowly restore its physical strength within a certain range, and provide the skill "Salvage Net"]
[Salvage Net: Use your energy to cast a net to salvage various items. It takes a long time, but you will get more items.]
[Description: Fast sailing speed, average defense.]
"Hmm? A salvage net? What does that mean?"
“It seems there really is a fishing net on this boat!”
"Are you asking us to be fishermen?"
“How is this different from fishing?”
"You're out of your mind. Isn't it written in the information? It takes longer and you'll gain more."
"What fishnet stockings? Where are the fishnet stockings?"
"…You're invincible kid."
A group of players chatted and experimented with the new features of the Spirit Fire Sail.
[Salvaging...]
The salvaging speed of the salvage net is indeed very slow. It takes at least five minutes to complete each salvage. During this period, the Spirit Fire Sail needs to be kept in sailing state.
"Closing the net!"
A group of players slowly pulled up the salvage net with anticipation.
clap clap clap!
Before the salvage net was completely pulled up, the many fish inside began to struggle violently, splashing a lot of water.
"Damn, what a great harvest!" the player exclaimed.
Maybe because this was the first salvage in the entire game, the harvest was pretty good.
[Obtained: Large Yellow Croaker × 3]
[Obtained: Crab × 2]
[Obtained: Sea Crab × 2]
[Obtained: Cuttlefish × 1]
[Obtained: Kelp × 3]
【…】
After this net, regardless of the quality, just looking at the quantity, it is definitely more enjoyable and more cost-effective than fishing.
However, this kind of salvage requires physical strength, while fishing does not.
"Oh, it's still not good enough. I suggest you add a function to electrofish."
"Xing, your idea is really cruel..."
……
The candle spirit tree.
The trunk, which is nearly three meters high, is a waxy white color, and the leaves are directly replaced by slightly glowing flames, which makes the whole tree look very magical and gorgeous.
Compared with its function, the appearance of the Candle Spirit Tree seems a little insignificant...
"What the hell? It can change and upgrade character talents, and also strengthen character abilities?!"
"Damn, if this building doesn't come out, I'll almost forget my character's abilities."
"No wonder it's called the Candle Spirit Tree! It really is related to us!"
"Awesome! I'm going to upgrade my great strength talent to Super Hercules!"
A group of players were all excited and excited.
After playing this game for so long, they even thought that their character talents were likely to remain the same, and the players didn't even pay attention to this.
But what was unexpected was that Lingzhu did not actually forget it, but hid it in the update.
"...Brothers, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not..."
"The so-called 'probability' in this explanation gives me a bad feeling..."
Some players keenly smelled something wrong.
After hearing his words, the other players belatedly realized and checked the functions of the Candle Spirit Tree word by word.
[Candle Spirit Tree]
[Functions: Re-prayer for gifts, promotion of gifts, strengthening abilities]
[Re-prayer for gifts: consume wax oil, erase your original talents, pray to the Candle Spirit Tree for new talents, and there is a chance to directly obtain high-level talents. ]
[Promotion Gift: Consume wax oil, and through the power of the Candle Spirit Tree, there is a chance that you will successfully upgrade your own talent. ]
[Enhance ability: Choose one of your own candle spirit abilities to enhance, with a chance of improving its effect.]
"Hahaha, what a bad premonition, buddy, you've played too many Penguin games, right? What's the big deal? If you fail, you fail. Lingzhu doesn't want our money."
"It's not after money, it's after my liver!"
"Don't tell me, please don't tell me. I always feel like there's something wrong here. Why don't other Lingzhu buildings have so many 'probabilities'?"
"Who said that? Isn't there a furnace of sin?"
"Oh, never mind, let's try it first, I can't wait!"
I'm a bit stuck, damn, I've been scratching my head for a long time, it's so annoying
