Chapter 100 Skill selection requires caution, in every sense of the word
After sending a group of old, weak and incompetent thieves out of the battlefield and ensuring their safety, Mo Cheng rushed back to the place where he first woke up. In a village not far away where there was no sign of life, he found a room with a less pungent smell to rest.
He opened the panel and looked at his gains, especially the system currency column which was no longer 0, which gave Mo Cheng a great satisfaction.
Although it would cost 400 system currencies to transform the Frost Wolf King's claw into the [Claw of Attack], and because of the requirements for carrying items, Mo Cheng did not carry it with him.
Name: Mo Cheng
Level: 5
HP: 100%
MP: 100%
Skill Points: 2
System currency: 505
Looking at the extremely simple panel, Mo Cheng couldn't help but complain: "Level 5. If this were put in a MOBA game, there wouldn't even be a big move. When would it take to reach level 30?"
There is no need to elaborate on the slow upgrade process. What Mo Cheng is more concerned about is the level cap. He is a little worried that the system's level cap is only 30. In that case, let alone upgrading a skill to the maximum level, it would be a blessing for him to get a useful skill randomly.
But there was a feeling, an indescribable but strong feeling telling Mo Cheng that his limit was definitely not just level 30, and his worries were completely unnecessary.
Putting that strange feeling aside, Mo Cheng did not rush to use skill points to draw from the skill pool. Instead, he first took out the dry food seized from the soldiers of the Crazy Legion and ate it.
The dry rations carried by the Crazy Legion soldiers were very ordinary, with nothing special added. They were unpalatable and dry, and some were even stained with blood.
Mo Cheng didn't care much. He endured the stench that was everywhere and ate slowly, ignoring the suspected bloodstains on the dry food.
I have to say that the seized dry food is very unpalatable and disgusting to eat, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that this thing is real food and does not contain anything too disgusting.
Mo Cheng knew that fighting would be unavoidable for a long time to come, so food would be a factor that could not be ignored on this battlefield.
The dragon bloodline is not a perpetual motion machine. Mo Cheng can eat a large amount of food in a short period of time to avoid the need to eat for a period of time, but he still needs to eat.
After pinching his nose during a meal that was definitely not a pleasant experience, Mo Cheng found a source of unpolluted water and washed his hands and face with water.
"Bathing and burning incense, every major event requires a calm mind and concentration..."
Patting his face which was still stained with water, Mo Cheng was reluctant to admit it, but he did not have any innate advantage in terms of luck.
The desired item would be taken away when the roll time was just a dozen points short, and the skills that could theoretically be a critical hit would also cause explosive damage that has never been seen in years.
Even when playing DOTA2 with others, the other person's Phantom Assassin hit every hit critically, but when I jumped out, my Axe was hit three times critically and didn't trigger the counterattack spiral once, and then I was sold out by my teammates.
He once didn't believe in the folk remedy of washing hands and face before drawing cards, but now that he is in this state, it would be better to believe it a little.
What if a good skill really comes out?
Invest two skill points into the skill pool, and two columns of skills will appear in front of you again.
[Plague Guard]: Use the power of plague to form a living, immobile guard to attack your enemies.
(Summons a Plague Ward to attack enemy units and buildings. The ward is immune to magic. The ward has a poison attack with the same effect as the current level of the poison skill, causing 50% of the original skill damage.)
[Baptism]: Heal friendly forces and damage enemies with powerful holy light.
(Instantly heals a friendly unit and damages nearby enemies.)
[Summon Wolves]: Immediately summon two weak elf wolves to fight for you.
(Summon two spirit wolves to fight for the werewolf. Level 3-4 spirit wolves have permanent invisibility, and level 4 spirit wolves also have the ability to cripple.)
Perhaps it is really useful to wash hands and face before drawing cards. Mo Cheng actually drew the option of [Baptism] this time. He immediately gave up the other two good skills and directly chose [Baptism].
Mo Cheng, who upgraded [Dragon Bloodline] to level 2, knew clearly that the skill upgrades were not like the average increase in values in the game. The difference between level 1 [Dragon Bloodline] and level 2 [Dragon Bloodline] was like the difference between a three-year-old child and an eighteen-year-old young man.
The power of skill level improvement is not a step-by-step, gradual upgrade, but a leap-forward, explosive surge.
Mo Cheng had already made an importance table in his mind: important ultimate skills > existing skills > general ultimate skills > general ordinary skills.
If a skill like [Absolute Regeneration] appears in the skill pool, you must get it no matter what. This is the ultimate choice that surpasses all other options.
(Absolute Rebirth: After the Wraith King falls, his scattered Wraiths will regroup and revive him. When he dies, enemies within a 900.0 range will be slowed down.)
Next is the skills you already have. Making a leap forward in improving the existing skills can enhance your combat power more than acquiring new skills.
After selecting the first item, Mo Cheng looked at the second column of skills.
[Dark Contract]: Sacrifice part of your vitality and transfer all negative states into it. As the vitality flows out, it causes dark tide damage to surrounding enemies.
(After a short delay, Slark sacrifices some of his health, clearing most negative status effects and dealing damage to himself and nearby enemy units. Slark takes only 30% of the damage dealt.)
[Tombstone]: Use the power of death to awaken the long-sleeping corpses. The undead corpses yearn for the breath of life and yearn to become their own kind.
(Summons a tombstone at the target location. The tombstone will continuously spawn zombies around each enemy to attack them. The zombies have the skill Death Craving, which makes their attacks have a slowing effect, and if the target's health is below a certain value or a certain percentage, the zombies' attack and movement speed will increase.)
[Call of Nature]: Awaken the ancient trees and make them fight for you as tree men.
(Transforms a field of trees into treants controlled by the Prophet.)
Looking at the skills in the second column, Mo Cheng fell into deep thought. First of all, [Dark Contract] must be excluded, as its function overlaps with that of Siren Shell, and Mo Cheng does not lack that little output.
What he needs to consider is whether to choose [Tombstone] or [Call of Nature].
The former fights with corpses, and the latter fights with tree people. Strictly speaking, they are both summoning skills, but he has to consider one problem.
When a priest of the Church of Light uses a tombstone that desecrates corpses, will anyone come to punish him?
The answer to thinking is yes.
The Glorious Church will not tolerate such behavior, let alone an imposter using the name of the Glorious Church to desecrate the dead.
Even if he showed his holy light, which was purer than that of most priests of the Church of Light, it would be useless. At most, it would cause people within the Church of Light to think about faith.
By then, Mo Cheng will probably face even more intense pursuit, after all, heretics are more hateful than pagans.
He clearly possessed a holy light purer than that of most priests or even high priests, but he was playing with the power of the dead. This was enough to anger the Church to kill Mo Cheng as soon as possible.
Even the Pope, who has not taken any action for a long time and is known as the "Agent of Glory on Earth", might have to come out to meet Mo Cheng.
The Pope of the Church of Light, one of the strongest in the human world, and a top-level warrior on the ninth level.
