He had acquired a large number of skills in such a short time, and these skills were not simply knowledge copied into his mind. It was as if Chen Yi had learned them himself. The lake? Sea? he had just entered was definitely far from ordinary.
Out of habit, he reached for the staff at his side, only to find that there was nothing there.
Only after checking the panel did he learn that the Novice Village staff had been reclaimed. Chen Yi found it deeply regrettable. Its attributes might have been trash, but the fact that it would not wear down meant it could serve as a top-tier shield.
Forget it. He could just buy another staff later.
He should try out his skills first.
Flash!
The structure rapidly formed in his mind. Chen Yi vanished from where he stood and appeared one meter behind himself the next moment.
"Consumes 100 Mana Points. The Mana cost really is terrifying, but what exactly is the principle behind skill Cooldown?"
Afterward, Chen Yi tested the other skills as well. Spell Analysis could not do much yet; he knew far too little about spells to speak of analyzing them.
After separating the structure of Fireball, every individual structure seemed to recognize Chen Yi, but Chen Yi did not recognize any of them.
One skill worth mentioning was Effortless Meditation. It was a skill Chen Yi had comprehended based on meditation and his own intentions.
In the water, all kinds of knowledge Chen Yi completely failed to understand flooded crazily into his mind. Spell Structures shifted and changed before finally forming this self-created skill, one whose principles he did not know but could still use.
It no longer stored Mana in his mind. Instead, it continuously flowed through his body.
It was precisely because of this method that he could recover Mana more quickly while meditating.
The flowing Mana was also slowly nourishing his body.
After familiarizing himself with the skills, he began trying some of the newly added functions.
With a thought, Chen Yi opened his Backpack. It had twenty slots, and identical items could be stacked together, but the Load Limit was 50 kg.
The Bottom Left Slot displayed the Copper Coins Chen Yi had obtained: 1,952 Pieces.
Though they were called Copper Coins, they were actually a unique medium exclusive to the Game World, so they did not count toward the Load Limit.
The slot on the right displayed Resurrection Coin x1, a guarantee of safety.
This one had been gifted by the Game World. For Players who entered with their True Body, the cost of buying Resurrection Coins was far higher than for other Players, and the price would rise exponentially as Chen Yi grew Stronger.
Even in his current weak state, a Resurrection Coin would cost Chen Yi 7,000 Copper Coins.
Players of the same level who did not enter with their real bodies only needed 500 Copper Coins.
They seemed to have the same margin for error, but those entering with their True Body only had one chance to die. Using the rewards from several games to buy Resurrection Coins was nothing more than a slow death. The games would only become more and more difficult!
At the same time, the Resurrection Coin option in the shop interface was grayed out, showing that he already had one and could not purchase another.
The chat interface was filled with people calling out, just like they were truly playing a game.
Xia Fangjie LV25 (Gentleman's Home): Sincerely buying a Blue Quality rifle. Price negotiable.
Wu Di LV7 (Rōnin): Big shots, why do we only get 1 Attribute Point per level after Level 5? And how exactly do we change classes?
Yang Shen No. 1125 LV50 (Dynasty): If I reinforce again, I'm a dog! If I reinforce again, I'm a dog! If I reinforce again, I'm a dog! Important things should be said three times. I heard this reinforcement machine was really used by that ** Kelly. Next time I go to Dungeon World, I'm going to find her and Self-Destruct.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Yi closed the chat interface. He was disdainful of such things. Reinforcement was easy, wasn't it? In novels, the protagonists never failed when reinforcing equipment.
After getting a basic grasp of the various functions, Chen Yi looked at the final support package.
Random!!! Skill Choice x1
For some reason, the moment Chen Yi saw the word "Random," he felt dizzy, his heartbeat became irregular, and he nearly died on the spot.
He licked his dry lips. "Don't scare yourself. It's not that I'm unlucky and can't get equipment drops. The drop rate in the Novice Village must be too low."
Chen Yi ignored the fact that every Level 5 Player he had seen in the Novice Village had been wearing a full set of equipment.
"Use!"
Ding! Choose Skill Tendency Search Book Title Not Found, you can try Search Author. Maybe it was just Renamed!
"Fire."
Extracting game skill... Ding! Choose one skill from the following to obtain ① Hokage World—Great Fire Annihilation: Use Hand Seals to mobilize Mana, then spit Fireballs from the mouth. Damage and range depend on Intelligence and Mana Points used. Deals 120%–300% damage, range 2–50 meters, CD 90s. ② King of Fighters World—Hundred Style: Demon Flame: A combination of Martial Arts and flames. Damage depends on Strength and Intelligence. Each attack deals 150% damage, CD 30s. ③ League of Legends—Ignite: A continuous damage skill cast on a single enemy target. It depends on one's understanding of flames, dealing 10 to ??? Points of True Damage to an enemy Hero over 5 seconds and reducing the target's healing and Recovery Effect. CD 300s.
The result of this random selection was unexpectedly good. He first ruled out the second option. Although he had practiced close combat, he had no intention of developing in that direction.
The first skill, Great Fire Annihilation, could be considered an Ultimate Skill for the early stages. It would be useful whether clearing monsters or fighting a Boss.
So Chen Yi chose Ignite. No One could refuse True Damage!
Ding! Player Chen Yi obtained Ignite Ding! After evaluation, Player Chen Yi is unable to master Ignite
Chen Yi's heart instantly went cold.
Ding! This skill was obtained through Seed Plan Support. Priority approved Ding! Allowing Player Chen Yi to master Ignite
After the experience beneath the water, Chen Yi appeared within flames once more. Fire Snakes raced wildly around him, wrapping him up.
Scorching heat, pain, burning...
Even so, Chen Yi would not die. A force continuously restored his body, only for it to wither away again in the flames. The cycle repeated over and over.
To understand fire, there was no more convenient method than truly experiencing it!
When he returned to the Game World once more, Chen Yi's mind was in a daze.
Ding! Support has been distributed. The first game will begin in three days
Chen Yi was placed in a room. This was his personal space, located within the Town Area and protected by the Game World. In other words, until the Game World was destroyed, this place would be absolutely safe.
After exiting the Game World, Chen Yi, now dressed in New Clothes, staggered out through the door.
The flames had burned his clothes and Shoes completely clean. The Shoes he had worked so hard to get as a drop had left him just like that. Fortunately, even in the Game World, there were people who delivered takeout.
Otherwise, Chen Yi might have made the headlines the next day:
A naked man enters the Game World. Was this the collapse of morality or the distortion of human nature?
Character attributes were heavily suppressed in the Real World. This had been deliberately done by the Game World.
Some Big Shots speculated that it was to give Players a stable rear base while also supplying Players without end.
Opening the shabby door of his home, Chen Yi had returned this time to see if there was anything he wanted to take with him. In the future, he would rarely leave the Game World.
"Zhi~"
The door let out an irritating creak. He had only been gone for less than twenty days, yet the house looked as though No One had lived there for half a year.
Several letters lay on the dust-covered floor. The only person who would leave letters for him should be that Guy.
"Chen Yi, I didn't expect you still hadn't come out. I wanted to show off my Black Iron Longsword to you. This Martial Tool is of the noble White Quality. Aren't you jealous? If I told you it has 25 Attack Power, wouldn't you die of envy..."
Chen Yi smiled. It seemed that Guy was doing fairly well. He picked up the next letter.
"Still didn't manage to wait for you to return. Some people said you were already dead, but I don't believe it... After setting my realism to 90, there were many times when I truly felt like I was about to die, but I still crawled back to the Novice Village. So I don't believe you would die like that."
"I'm the protagonist. The Subordinate I designated won't die that easily.
The next game is about to start, and you still haven't returned. Don't tell me you went to the Novice Village for a Blind Date!
Fine, just wait for me to Carry You. Oh, right, my game name is Wu Di. I actually wanted to name myself Invincible, but I Don't Know who took it first. It nearly pissed this protagonist to death..."
