The First Step Ashore
Su Luo recalled the special class she saw when Class Change— [God of Magic]. One of the core effects of this class was "permanently increasing the level cap of all Spell- type skills by 5".
A whimsical idea took shape in his mind, but this plan could only be implemented after he encountered a true God of Magic.
Another question is, at what level does a blue skill need to be upgraded to Purple Skill? According to information from the World Channel and data provided by Song Shige, the only known way to obtain Purple Skill is through Out-of-Zone Exploration. Not only are there higher-level monsters outside the region, but there also seems to be some kind of special [Exploration Quests ].
Su Luo now faces three paths: Out-of-Zone Exploration to test her skills, break through her Attribute limits by completing Trait Dungeon, or continue to digest the massive amount of knowledge, materials, and new items she has recently acquired and fully transform them.
After all, Su Luo's development path is different from that of most Survivors.
The normal development process is: explore, fight monsters, loot chests, upgrade resources, reorganize, then explore and fight monsters again...
But Su Luo was much simpler: learning, researching, acquiring new knowledge, experimenting, and practicing...
Logically speaking, this kind of esoteric approach is inefficient. No matter how hard you study, you can't catch up with the Survivors ' progress. Forbidden Class can reach street combat power in a month. No matter how much knowledge you put on your face, you can't do it in your whole life.
The two most difficult parts are learning and practice.
In terms of learning, there are Talents, career opportunities, Dreamscape acceleration, which frantically speeds up the progress.
In practice, Su Luo uses the Survival System's skills for free every day, reversing cause and effect and skipping the cultivation process.
You could say that getting something for free is fun for a while, and getting it for free all the time is even more fun.
"First... digest the knowledge of both worlds, then Out-of-Zone Exploration. I'll stay at the extreme value card for a while and do an experiment." Su Luo her mind.
With her mind made up, Su Luo's consciousness sank into the Dream World, where she organized the subsequent Optimization directions, experimental ideas, and theoretical deductions for each of her major skills into a clear task list.
It was all pushed towards the white sphere of light floating to the side—the subconscious Aggregation Body "Xiao Luo".
The sphere of light Jingjing received the massive amount of information, its light flashing rhythmically. After a moment, it conveyed a calm and unwavering thought, "This is exploitation."
"It's not exploitation. You are my subconscious, and I am you; you are me. Even your abrupt words just now were nothing more than my own monologue, my inner monologue."
Su Luo calmly placed Xiao Luo into the Calculation Zone.
"I've sped up the time flow. You focus on generating data in there, and I'll come back to see you next time."
Upon returning to reality, Su Luo received some rare materials allocated by the Mutual Aid Association through Han Song's Sanctuary.
Then, he steered the Laboratory, whose main structure had been upgraded, like a giant silver-white metal beast awakening, slowly lifting it off the ground, randomly choosing a direction, and driving off at a leisurely pace, leaving the Sanctuary and the temporary Safe Zone behind.
[Anonymous: Family, does anyone understand?! Today marks my official departure from my original organization! All my applications to integrate into the Sanctuary have been rejected. Thanks for the guidance, it feels so good to be independent and free!]
[Anonymous: 6, You can do this? I wish I had... There are dozens of people crammed into the Sanctuary now, it's so annoying.]
[Besides fraud, there's an even simpler way—just kill everyone else.]
[You bunch of giant babies! Parasites! All you do is suck the blood of the collective! And not only Lifesteal, you don't even do any work!]
[There's no way around it; the growth rate with resources is completely different from the growth rate without them. Besides, I'm already a professional now, why should I still abide by the promises and rules I made when I was a non-professional? Do non-professionals deserve to have an equal dialogue with me?]
Jefferson's hands trembled as he shut down the World Channel; the ugliness of human nature sent a chill down his spine.
The Chain of Suspicion between professionals and the organizations that support them is expanding malignantly at an unprecedented rate globally.
He was often moved by the information and selfless spirit shared by everyone on the World Channel, but many times the ugliness of human nature and various heinous acts also made him angry.
An extremely selfish survival strategy is openly promoted: take advantage of others and then shirk responsibility, refusing to accept even offers of shelter from others.
After accepting support and successfully Class Change, they immediately broke the agreement and refused to Fused Sanctuary, thus fundamentally eliminating the risk of being "dragged down by the weak."
For those who have already integrated, some have proposed an even more outrageous solution—to eliminate all "unstable elements" within the Sanctuary, namely other non-professionals.
Frenzied.
Jefferson despised the existence of such people, but he was now in dire straits himself and might die soon.
Looking at the completely silent Regional Channel, my body began to tremble.
He checked the time again. Only three minutes remained until day 36 of his survival journey, when the fifth Monster Tide was about to begin.
The base wave of this Monster Tide will be upgraded to the fifth wave, and it is foreseeable that it will be another death-defying event sweeping the world.
The District War points shop does have [Monster Tide Basic Wave Reduction Coupon], but that's a luxury item exclusively for the top three players, and they might not even redeem it.
There are at most three hundred regions in the world. This means that more than 70,000 regions worldwide, including his own Zone 34679, must rely on their own strength to withstand this storm.
Many organizations in various regions recognized the difficulty of this Monster Tide early on and chose this path: to concentrate resources to support professionals, and then to protect more weak people through "Fused Sanctuary".
But just the day before yesterday, the "Legendary little story" on the World Channel revealed the risks involved.
Many of those who are supported by the government are unhappy about this.
The first step to getting ashore is forgetting your roots!
"These short-sighted Goushi!"
Jefferson cursed weakly, then sat down listlessly, watching time pass, his body drenched in sweat.
He was so envious of the fact that other regions still had so many people, yet those few who had just spoken in the World Channel didn't know how to cherish it.
"If only my area still had this many people, if only I were one of those supported professionals..."
Jefferson appeared to be extremely angry and fearful, but his fear did not stem from the impending Monster Tide.
His gaze was fixed intently on the regional information:
[Zone 34679]
[6/100000]
Six.
Only six people remain alive in the entire area.
One of them is a professional.
At the same time, he is also "His" puppet.
And "He" is using this area as a stage to conduct a chilling "game".
Do not look at Him!
Don't let Him find you!
Those who inadvertently saw His photo or, out of excessive curiosity, browsed related posts, have already...
Through extreme caution, Jefferson managed to contact four other "lucky ones" in the area who were also struggling to survive, forming a fragile alliance for survival.
As for the sixth one, he was the Forbidden Class who returned from the Trial Instance two days ago, and he was also the source of the Calamity.
He brought back a Forbidden Existence.
