Chapter 2, those familiar scenes and people, I have arrived

Gazing at the transformation of the cultivation system from nothingness to ancient martial arts, Gao Xu's expression finally returned to calm. Having made up his mind to tread a path to the peak filled with thorns, he would never have regrets.

One day, when I hold power in my hands, I will eliminate all those who have wronged me

With the last 10 points of credit, Gao Xu exchanged for a pink diamond. This diamond is of high quality and can be considered a rare treasure on Earth, but in the space context, it is merely a low-level white item, capable of enhancing the favorability of female narrative characters depending on the situation

The space also sells a variety of equipment, items, and skills. Unfortunately, 100 points are only enough to purchase the lowest-level weapon. It seems that the space aims to provide newcomers with some means of self-defense, so they do not perish too quickly or too tragically, which is why this benefit is offered

Gao Xu chose the most basic throwing knife, which costs only 5 points each. He spent a total of 75 points, purchasing exactly 15 knives.

In the main god space, equipment and items are categorized into six colors: white, blue, gold, dark gold, purple, and red. Each color is further divided into five tiers: inferior, lower, medium, upper, and superior

The white super equipment may very well possess attributes that are not inferior to those of the red inferior equipment; this is the disparity caused by the difficulty tier.

Ah, the familiar scenery, books, and people, I have arrived

The moment he formally selected the ancient martial arts system, a phrase suddenly flashed through Gao Xu's mind

A set of ancient warrior attire, a set of ancient scholar attire, and some food and outdoor survival gear. These items, which do not provide any attribute bonuses, can be purchased in the real world and do not belong to the unique equipment of the space, so their prices are quite cheap. In addition to several dozen packs of realgar, lime, sulfur, and other items, it only cost 15 points of credits

Defeating the BOSS, completing tasks, and gaining favor with storyline characters all present opportunities to acquire skills. However, due to the limited number of skill slots, how to allocate them becomes a significant consideration. Should one prioritize learning skills to quickly enhance combat power, or should one reserve skill slots in anticipation of acquiring more powerful skills? This is a matter of personal judgment and wisdom.

Initial mastery of the long sword, initial mastery of the spear, initial mastery of the broadsword, initial mastery of footwork, initial mastery of body movement

In the realm of the supreme deity, power equates to authority, and the strong are akin to the ruling class, wielding life and death over the weak. In his previous life, he was in a position of exploitation; what about in this life?

Such a straightforward name will not lead to any misunderstandings. In his previous life, Gao Xu chose to enhance his survival rate by mastering basic movement techniques, which provided a 5% increase in movement speed. This effect saved his life at a critical moment.

Gao Xu changed into ancient-style attire and stored the other items in the space provided by the emblem. A flash of light appeared before him, and this time, a dozen flying daggers emerged.

Indeed, many reincarnators fantasize about being able to linger indefinitely in a low-difficulty world, much like elementary school students on Earth who are reluctant to advance to middle school, wishing they could remain in the first grade year after year like Conan. However, how could the cosmos allow such a situation to occur

Points are the most common circulating currency in space, used to ensure the survival of reincarnators, providing food, materials, housing, and so on. Most importantly, they are used to purchase various equipment and items to enhance oneself, making one increasingly powerful, facing ever more dangerous tasks, and obtaining increasingly abundant rewards

After completing all of this, Gao Xu, seizing the remaining time, hurriedly took out lime and sulfur from the emblem space, mixing them in a ratio of three to one to prepare several packets of powder, which he then carefully stored away

Time passes in the blink of an eye, and at last, the sound of the countdown has emerged from the emblem

Each reincarnator begins their journey in the space from a novice level of difficulty, and can only progress to higher levels of difficulty after achieving a certain rank of space authority and successfully challenging the guardian at Bhetushu.com. comOSS

However, Gao Xu, who is well aware of what is about to happen in the upcoming narrative world, chooses to master the use of hidden weapons instead

In fact, each system is subdivided into many smaller branches, such as body refinement, extraordinary techniques, immortal arts, talisman control, and formations in the realm of cultivation, as well as the eighteen types of weapons, palm techniques, fist techniques, footwork, and lightness skills in ancient martial arts, all of which represent different directions of development

To get back to the point, after gaining a preliminary understanding of hidden weapons, Gao Xu entered the final stage of being a novice, which was to spend the 100 points of credits granted by the consumption space

Hidden weapons are a unique category of items. For instance, items such as darts, throwing knives, javelins, and sleeve arrows are one-time-use props, while boomerangs, flying claws, and dragon whisker ditches are classified as equipment due to their reusability. Clearly, the price of props is significantly lower than that of equipment

Fortunately, every three lunar months, the guardian BOSS is replaced. Among them, the Evil Sword Immortal is relatively easier to deal with, yet it still prompted the strong players from the East Asia region to mobilize and fight to that extent. One can only imagine the formidable power of the other, even stronger guardian BOSSs.

Gao Xu, however, did not even glance at the weapons and armor that were highly enticing to newcomers. Instead, he methodically began to browse through the item list on www.hetushu.com, and before long, a pile of items had accumulated in front of him

A dazzling light suddenly emanated before Gao Xu, as a white passage abruptly extended from the void, resting on the ground where the amethyst once lay, leading into an endless distance, incredibly fantastical. The walls of the passage were all a misty white, yet not blinding, imparting a uniquely gentle sensation.

Flying Knife: A white item of inferior quality. The blade is sharp at the top and thick at the bottom, with an edge as thin as paper. It inflicts 2 to 4 points of damage, has a slow firing speed, can be used without restrictions, and can be exchanged for 2 points of credit

The aforementioned levels correspond to the five major difficulties of the main divine space: Novice, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell. For instance, the items dropped in a world of the first difficulty are generally of inferior quality, even the red divine equipment is no exception

Gao Xu took a deep breath, stepped inward, and murmured softly

The most direct manifestation is the current choice offered, which is to learn a basic skill at no cost

***

After advancing to Level 2 difficulty, the situation will improve slightly; however, experiencing more than twenty worlds is the limit. Although Level 3 difficulty offers over fifty opportunities, the significantly stronger bosses guarding the levels make the reincarnators increasingly wary of any lapse in vigilance

When it comes to skills, it must be mentioned that each reincarnator initially possesses only five skill slots. Once the skill slots are full, one can use precious items to wash away old skills or complete challenging tasks to expand the skill slots and continue acquiring new skills

Increasing difficulty, decreasing rewards; these eight brief words whip the reincarnator like a demon's lash, urging them to quickly enhance their strength and challenge the guardian boss. Each time one enters the narrative world, the difficulty of the next task increases by half a level, while the rewards diminish by half a level. After several attempts, one can imagine the terrifying world that awaits if the reincarnator continues to linger at the same difficulty level.

Hidden Weapon Proficiency: Level D Basic Skill, Low Rank, increases the speed of hidden weapon deployment by 10% and damage by 3%. This effect also applies to skills, but is limited to inferior blue and white quality hidden weapons

Once the cultivation system is selected, it does not mean that one must follow a single path to the end

Basic skills belong to a special category of skills and do not occupy the ordinary skill slots. They are divided into five levels: Initial, Familiar, Mastery, Specialization, Grandmaster, and Grandmaster. Each level corresponds to five tiers: Low, Intermediate, Advanced, Special, and Ultimate.

Skills are categorized into six tiers: Super S, S, A, B, C, and D, with each tier further divided into five levels: low, intermediate, advanced, special, and ultimate
