Chapter 4: Drawing Symbols

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The cooldown time for the rocket is just over 2 seconds. In contrast, the warrior's normal attack has no cooldown time; the attack must be completed before it counts. If you hit the target, you can quickly execute your next normal attack. If you miss, you will have to wait a bit longer to sheathe your weapon, which is commonly referred to as being in a state of stiffness.

The rooster and the slime are the first wave of enemies that players will face. Do not underestimate the rooster; it possesses male hormones. Nor should you underestimate the slime; its big brother is named Stallone

Xu Kai rarely offers free guidance to others. He no longer lingers or provides explanations, continuing to move forward. The roosters here are not quite suitable for his current level and skills. He simply cannot understand why this mage is so entangled; after all, one can use professional skills after reaching level 10, but you, as a warrior, haven't even learned basic attacks, which is truly baffling.

"A BOSS has been discovered outside the village, everyone gather quickly!" A player sprinted through the streets, shouting loudly. Clearly, the public channel had been abandoned by the players at the first opportunity. Xu Kai leaned forward to take a look; this guy was indeed running fast. As soon as this player noticed Xu Kai's attention, he winked with his left eye, snapped his fingers stylishly, and the words 'Speedy Legs' appeared on his forehead. Without pausing to chat, he kicked up a cloud of dust and continued forward: "A BOSS has been discovered outside the village, everyone gather quickly!"

The casting of this spell also has its intricacies, and there are two options for its use. The first option is to recite an incantation; for example, the rocket consists of two words: "mami." Aim at the target, and the system will determine your intended target based on your mental focus, after which the rocket will be launched

Thus, there are two methods for casting spells. The former requires a reliable memory and nimble fingers, while the latter demands agile hands and a quick-thinking mindset. Of course, although it is a virtual game, you cannot be so lazy as to expect others to launch rockets without even moving your mouth.

It is quite wasteful. The novice village can be passed through with some perseverance

Xu Kai stealthily entered the village and was first greeted by the sound of a child crying fiercely from a household, prompting him to inquire. It turned out that the male head of the household had not returned from gathering herbs, and the female head was busy weaving hemp. Thus, Xu Kai took on the role of a temporary male nanny. Twenty minutes later, the female head finished her work and took over. The system displayed: Task of calming the crying child completed, completion quality 80%, experience 168, money 10 copper, reputation in the novice village increased by one. Xu Kai leveled up to level 2. After leveling up, various attributes increased according to the profession and the * map * book, and he received an additional upgrade point.

Do you really not need help? Please consider it carefully. Think about it very carefully again. A young woman entangled with the village chief is promoting her labor using the sales techniques of Tang Seng. In the novice village, where labor is excessively abundant and the unemployment rate has reached 90%, this is indeed a path that leads nowhere.

... ...

However, it was unexpected that the village chief's job was merely to introduce the basic game questions and answers, and the task assignment was not within his scope of work

Another method is to draw symbols. For instance, a rocket is represented by a diagonal line; as long as you swiftly draw a diagonal line in the air with your staff, the rocket will be launched. In contrast, the latter requires a higher level of mental composure. For example, if you are being chased and need to cast a more complex spell, you must maintain a calm mindset. There are also benefits, such as being relatively quick.

First strike grants 20% experience and 20% item drop, with the highest output receiving 30% and 30%. The final blow awards 50% and 50%. These are the basic principles of monster hunting. Knowing these principles, Xu Kai naturally has no interest in joining this frenzy. The first strike is likely to be snatched by the swift ones. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so eager.

En! Xu nodded.

Rocket: When the terrifying rocket falls, it not only causes flame damage but also ignites the target (this is how the cow boasts). Level 1, damage 3-5, cooldown time 2.5 seconds, with a 10% chance to ignite the target

The novice village is a place to familiarize oneself with game operations, rather than a task village. The system does not encourage players to rely entirely on tasks to leave the novice village. After all, combat is the most important entertainment element of the game

Xu Kai chose the latter, raising his staff and placing his hand on a gem embedded in it as required. The system recognized that the player was preparing to cast a spell, and with a swift diagonal motion, a rocket was launched, bringing down a half-health rooster. This measure was necessary; otherwise, while chatting with a girl, he might accidentally wave the staff in excitement, leading to a thunderstorm, and the couple would transform into butterflies singing the Liang Zhu duet.

Beyond the village lies the fields, and beyond the fields is the forest. In the forest, active monsters with red names begin to appear; once their territory is invaded, they will launch an attack on the intruders

I am rather slow-witted. Xu Kai seemed to chuckle at himself, saying: I really cannot figure out how to reach level 10 without skills and books

80% '' Xu Kai was somewhat dissatisfied and left after chatting with the hostess for a few moments. He then mediated a conflict between two brothers and located the cat that had stolen the fabric, advancing to level 3. Next, he spent an hour completing six tasks, barely reaching level 4

The novice village is not small, but after the addition of five hundred people, both inside and outside the village have become extremely lively. There are those looking for quests, hunting monsters, trading junk, seeking groups, introducing themselves, and those in the black market shouting for gold coins, with the public channel constantly flooded with messages. Xu Kai, being very savvy, decided to close the public channel; after all, it was too dazzling to see clearly, so it was better not to use it.

The true reason is that players here have not learned the skills or magic from the scrolls. The system has repeatedly emphasized the preciousness of various class stones. No one is willing to expend valuable class stones on a warrior's basic attack or a mage's fireball. Xu Kai, however, was relatively calm and spent a class stone to learn the fireball. ... He then began to study ... Xu Kai, however, was relatively calm and spent a class stone to learn the fireball. ... He then began to study ...

Two rockets fell from a height of four meters onto a rooster, easily killing it. A kind-hearted uncle, around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, said to a player at the village entrance, "Hey, friend, have you learned about rockets?"

The group of players exchanged glances, and this statement was simply to the point. Completing tasks is difficult for leveling up, and fighting monsters is even less efficient for leveling up. Yet all of this only requires spending one profession stone. Once the stakes were laid bare, everyone suddenly understood.

The introduction to the warrior's skill release mode is quite similar, for instance, with normal attacks... One can simply strike directly, as it is essentially a normal attack. Skill attacks, however, require learning the initiation moves, but they are all quite simple and can be easily grasped with a casual study. Others may not be aware, but Xu Kai finds it easy to get the hang of it.

Xu Kai is not in a hurry; he is currently considering a secondary profession. From this novice village, it is evident that alchemy is the most popular profession, exclusive to mages. Mining, on the other hand, is exclusive to warriors. The paladin, a versatile class, can engage in various activities. Additionally, professions such as skinning, cooking, and fishing are not yet available. For instance, skinning is a secondary profession exclusive to hunters.

The most important aspect of this virtual game is to reject the bad habits of 2D online games, such as the countless tasks issued by the village chief that pertain to common knowledge. If understood literally, a task is something that requires assistance from others. Who typically needs help from others? It is generally not the village chief at the top of the pyramid, but rather the common people at the grassroots level. Have you ever seen a mayor asking his brother-in-law for help with moving?

One can tell from the way these players are being pursued that they are truly not to be underestimated
