Skills and NPC Candidates

Lin Feng repeated to Ying Zhan the words he had used to trick Ying Yi.

Ying Zhan listened, dumbfounded.

The Human Emperor had dispatched Skyfallers to the Barbaric Continent to help the Human Race Rising?

Lin Feng was the leader chosen by the Human Emperor?

The words sounded fantastical, but looking at the Players chatting and laughing in the distance, he felt it made sense.

Heaven was finally starting to favor the Human Race!

"This matter is of great importance. If the other races of the Savage World knew, they would surely crush our Starry Tribe in its cradle. I trust you, Brother Ying Zhan, which is why I'm telling you this. You absolutely must not tell anyone."

Lin Feng solemnly instructed.

"Don't worry, I swear upon the honor of my Ying ancestors. Even if you kill me, I won't reveal a single word!"

Ying Zhan excitedly swore to the heavens.

Lin Feng nodded and continued, "The problem now is that the Skyfallers descended in the Inner Valley. If others also live in the Inner Valley, they might discover something over time."

"Therefore, I've decided to designate the Inner Valley as a forbidden area for the Tribe, inaccessible without permission. Everyone else will live in the Outer Valley. What do you think?"

Lin Feng asked for Ying Zhan's opinion.

"Of course, we must do that!"

Ying Zhan said without hesitation.

How could he be careless when it concerned the grand undertaking of Human Race Rising?

"During this time, I've had the Skyfallers cut down many trees and stockpile a lot of lumber. Starting tomorrow, we'll begin building houses in the Outer Valley."

Lin Feng said.

"What!"

Ying Zhan was startled to hear that Lin Feng had actually made the Skyfallers do menial labor like cutting trees.

"The Skyfallers are sent by the Human Emperor to help me. Isn't it inappropriate to have them do such rough work? We can handle such things from now on!"

Ying Zhan said.

What if the Skyfallers got angry and left?

Lin Feng smiled, "Don't worry, these Skyfallers are very enthusiastic. As long as there's work for them to do, they won't mind any dirty or tiring jobs."

Players, what do they have to fear but hardship?

As long as there were quests and experience, that was enough.

"As expected of Skyfallers, so selfless and great!"

Ying Zhan couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing this.

Lin Feng and Ying Zhan returned to the crowd and announced their decision to build a residential area in the Outer Valley.

Construction would begin tomorrow.

The Players cheered upon hearing the news.

Building a residential area would surely mean NPCs would issue quests for them to help, whether it was collecting materials or helping build houses. Either way, there would be experience point rewards.

Even setting aside the quest rewards, it was great to experience the fun of building in the game.

Wasn't this much more realistic than those pixelated sandbox games?

Ying Zhan had initially worried that the Skyfallers might be unwilling to help build the residential area.

Seeing the Skyfallers cheer now, each of them eager to start working, he felt a little touched.

As expected of Skyfallers, so selfless and great!

With the Players' help, Ying Zhan and the others set up a simple camp in the Outer Valley as temporary housing before the Outer Valley residential area was completed.

Afterward, Full Han Chinese Banquet showcased his culinary skills, preparing a lavish dinner to celebrate the day's victory.

The sumptuous dinner received unanimous praise, especially from Ying Zhan and the others, as well as the Pan Family Three Brothers, who ate like wolves.

Their table manners were even wilder than those of actual Jackalmen and Wind Wolves.

In the evening, the Players logged off one by one, while Lin Feng began to consider candidates for the three NPCs.

Currently, there were nineteen "NPCs" in the Tribe.

Ying Yi and the other five children, Ying Zhan and his six companions, the Pan Family Three Brothers, Wind Wolf, and four Wood Race members.

When selecting NPCs, one naturally had to choose those with powerful skills.

This way, the NPCs could not only impart skills to the Players and enhance their strength but also level up quickly by utilizing the experience points gained from Players learning their skills.

It was a win-win situation.

He first checked the four skills he had acquired.

Powerful Strike (Active Skill): Can gather all one's strength for a full-power strike, increasing damage by fifty percent.

Cooldown: 30 seconds.

Race Requirement: None

Class Requirement: Strength Class

Level Requirement: 2

Learning consumes 100 experience points.

Swift Step (Active Skill): Movement speed increased by 50%, immune to all slow effects, lasts for 10 seconds.

Cooldown: 2 minutes.

Race Requirement: None

Class Requirement: Agility Class

Level Requirement: 2

Learning consumes 100 experience points.

Defense Enhancement (Active Skill): Defense increased by 30%, lasts for 30 seconds.

Cooldown: 3 minutes.

Race Requirement: None

Class Requirement: Constitution Class

Level Requirement: 2

Learning consumes 100 experience points.

Magic Missile (Active Skill): Releases a magic missile condensed from Magical Power. Upon hitting, it deals damage to the enemy based on your own Intelligence.

Cooldown: 3 seconds.

Race Requirement: None

Class Requirement: Intelligence Class

Level Requirement: 2

Learning consumes 100 experience points.

Lin Feng believed these four were basic skills granted by the system to Players.

It was just that he, the system owner, had leveled up too slowly, causing these to be unlocked only now, leaving Players without any skills to use for a long time.

Especially for Intelligence Class Players, if they could delete their accounts, they probably would have all done so and restarted.

Now that there was the basic skill Magic Missile, the Intelligence Class could finally be played, albeit barely.

After reviewing his own skills, Lin Feng began to check the skills of other "NPCs" in the Tribe.

He needed to select the three most suitable ones to become NPCs.

As long as intelligent lifeforms in the Savage World joined the Starry Tribe, Lin Feng could see their attributes and skills.

First were four Wood Race individuals. Lin Feng glanced at them and immediately excluded them.

It wasn't that they had no skills, nor that their skills weren't powerful, but because the race requirements for the skills they possessed were all for the Wood Race.

The hidden Wood Race had not been unlocked, so making Wood Race individuals into NPCs would naturally be meaningless.

Lin Feng looked through everyone's skills. After weighing his options, he determined the final candidates.

Ying Zhan, Ying Yi, and Wind Wolf.

Ying Zhan was Level 5 and possessed two skills: Tiger Strike and Battle Will.

Among them, Battle Will was a very rare passive skill!

Tiger Strike (Active Skill): Condenses power for a powerful strike, damage increased by 30%. Upon hitting, there is a 30% chance to apply a bleed effect, causing continuous bleeding.

Cooldown: 20 seconds.

Race Requirement: None

Class Requirement: Strength Class, Agility Class

Level Requirement: Level 3

Learning consumes 200 experience points.

Tiger Strike, like Powerful Strike, was a damage skill.

Although the damage of Tiger Strike was not as good as Powerful Strike, it had a chance to apply a bleed effect upon hitting, and its cooldown was shorter than Powerful Strike.

More importantly, both Strength Class and Agility Class could learn it!

Judging by the experience points consumed, Tiger Strike was clearly superior to Powerful Strike.

The second skill was Battle Will.

Battle Will (Passive Skill): Upon entering combat, for every minute combat lasts, all attributes are enhanced by 1%, up to a maximum of 30%.

Race Requirement: None

Skill Requirements: None

Level Requirements: None

Learning consumes 500 experience points.

Battle Will is a skill that can be learned by all races and all skill types, with no learning requirements.

Of course, although the level requirement is none, the high learning cost of 500 experience points still creates a level threshold.

To go from level 5 to level 6 requires 500 experience points.

In other words, only Players level 5 and above can store more than 500 experience points in their experience bar to learn this skill.

After Ying Zhan comes Ying Yi.

Ying Yi has only one skill, but it is a very practical passive skill.

Eagle Eye!
