"Here, take this too. This potion has no side effects and can restore 50 health points for a short time. Keep it for later use. Get a good rest tonight, and come find me during your free time tomorrow."
The village chief pressed the potion into Yun Xi's hand, leaving no room for refusal. It was clear he knew Yun Xi had saved his two grandsons.
He wanted Yun Xi to find him tomorrow for a formal thank you.
Yun Xi didn't refuse further, knowing the village chief was worried about his two grandsons.
The middle-aged man arrived just then.
Yun Xi observed that he only had superficial injuries and could single-handedly defeat a Level 2 Rat Fiend, meaning his Warrior level was certainly not low.
Upon arriving, the middle-aged man happened to overhear the conversation between his father and Yun Xi, and he also knew Yun Xi had saved his two sons.
Finally, the indifference in his eyes, from the beginning until now, completely vanished, replaced by a faint sense of gratitude.
Carrying the two injured individuals back to the center of the bonfire, Yun Xi didn't disturb the family reunion and headed straight back to her small wooden cabin.
The crisis of the night had passed, and she didn't expect any other Strange Creatures to bother them. The abnormality with the bonfire earlier was likely due to the sorcery of that Rat Fiend leader, attempting to bring its kin to try their luck.
Unfortunately, it hadn't anticipated that the village chief was a powerhouse above Level 10, leading to its downfall in the gutter.
Yun Xi sat cross-legged on her straw-filled bed and opened her personal panel.
During the battle, she had gained a total of 10 free attribute points and 3 free skill points. All the attribute points were evenly distributed between her two main attributes.
Her previous two main attributes were—[Spirit: 29][Constitution: 6].
They had now become—[Spirit: 34][Constitution: 11].
The reason for increasing constitution was not only because her health was too low, but constitution also affected her agility and strength.
With ample free attribute points, Yun Xi wouldn't be stingy about adding more constitution for survival.
In addition, she had killed 9 Level 1 Rat Fiends and 2 Level 2 Rat Fiends, earning a total of 90+40 experience points.
On the Godfall Continent, the experience required to level up before Level 10 was not much, with each level requiring (current level * 10) experience points.
From Level 10 to 20, it required (current level * 100) experience points, and so on.
With 130 experience points, Yun Xi was directly promoted to Level 4, gaining 8 free attribute points and 4 free skill points.
[Basic Panel]
[Name: Yun Xi]
[System ID: ******826927]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 20]
[Level: 4][Experience: 30/50]
[Health (110/110)][Basic Sorcerer Health Cap = Constitution * 10]
[Spirit Energy (24/340)][Basic Sorcerer Spirit Energy Cap = Spirit * 10]
[Profession Panel]
[Main Profession: Sorcerer]
[Sub-Profession: Chef]
[Free Skill Points: 7]
[Attribute Panel]
[Spirit: 34]
[Constitution: 11]
[Luck: 92][Max Value: 100][Cannot be freely allocated]
[Charm: 96][Max Value: 100][Cannot be freely allocated]
[Free Attribute Points: 8]
After some thought, Yun Xi again divided the 8 free attribute points gained from leveling up equally between Spirit and Constitution.
[Spirit 38][Constitution 15]
The 7 skill points were then allocated to her Sorcerer skills.
[Spiritual Energy Control LV4: Sorcerer exclusive skill, allows free control of spiritual energy. Control strength is determined by one's own spirit.]
[Basic Waterball LV3: Consumes 10-300 spirit energy, can condense a small waterball, capable of dealing 124-414 (Spirit * Skill Level + Spirit Energy Consumed) points of water-elemental magic damage to Strange Creatures.]
[Basic Water Arrow LV3: Consumes 10-300 spirit energy, can condense a small water arrow, capable of dealing 124-414 (Spirit * Skill Level + Spirit Energy Consumed) points of water-elemental magic damage to Strange Creatures.]
Spiritual Energy Control is an exclusive Sorcerer skill; the levels of other magic cannot exceed its cap.
After upgrading Water Ball and Water Arrow to LV3, the maximum spiritual energy they could channel and their damage output also changed significantly.
With one magic spell, Yun Xi could unleash 414 points of damage, enough to instantly kill a Level 2 Rat Fiend.
This was thanks to her high Spirit attribute. If it were a typical Level 4 Sorcerer, even if their initial Spirit was at the maximum value of 10 points, and they allocated all 8 free attribute points gained from leveling up to Spirit, they would have at most 18 Spirit attribute.
Their maximum spirit energy would be 180 points, and with the same LV3 skills, they could at most unleash (18 * 3 + 180) = 234 points of damage.
However, in reality, any magical skill's attack power is greater when using the minimum spiritual energy cost compared to a higher cost.
Yun Xi only needed to expend 10 spiritual energy to deal 124 attack damage. Accumulatively, expending 10*4 spiritual energy could surpass the damage dealt by expending 300 spiritual energy at once.
Expending a massive amount of spiritual energy at once was only suitable for 'instant kills' and not practical for everyday combat; it wasn't cost-effective.
Snapping back to reality, Yun Xi looked at the potion the village chief had given her.
Without learning the appraisal skill, Yun Xi couldn't determine the potion's true effects. However, judging by the condition of the two injured individuals, their wounds were slowly healing after drinking the potion.
Yun Xi surveyed the room's layout and chose to place the potion in the small cabinet beside the bed.
It was a shame her starting village was too small to buy any decent supplies. Otherwise, she could have purchased a storage tool to put the potion into.
Her soul-bound space was also filled with Red Crystals. Although she had already extracted 10,200 Red Crystals, the freed-up space wasn't much. She should save it for other important items.
After completing all this, Yun Xi closed her eyes and began absorbing the spiritual energy in the air. She stopped only when her spiritual energy reached its cap of 380 points.
It was only past midnight, and there were still several hours until dawn. Yun Xi directly opened the system and chose to log off.
She planned to change her job to 'Alchemist' when she returned to Blue Star.
After changing out of her Coarse Cloth Robe, Yun Xi headed straight for the largest bookstore in the city. She bought all the books related to medicine, especially knowledge concerning traditional Chinese medicine formulas, not missing a single one.
The production methods for Western medicine were somewhat difficult for Yun Xi. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, was relatively simpler. At the very least, some methods for producing traditional Chinese medicine could be found online.
Yun Xi first needed to personally create an effective potion and then infuse it with spiritual energy to be able to change her job to 'Alchemist'.
She chose the simplest one, Dang Gui Bu Xue Tang: 20g Astragalus, 6g Angelica Sinensis...
Just as Blue Star's recipes were recognized by the system, Blue Star's medicinal formulas could also be established as long as they were effective.
