Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 25 Combat bonus 1020%
In the evening of August 30, Master Liu Hai also moved to his new home and became Xu Jingming's neighbor and the owner of House No. 7 in the community.
In the residential courtyard, the lights are dim yellow.
"Master, do you live alone?" Xu Jingming and Liu Hai were sitting in the courtyard.
"I've gotten used to it over the years." Liu Hai, who is a burly man, said with a smile, "Besides, I'm a martial arts madman, I don't care about anything else when I practice martial arts! My wife likes to be lively, and she has her career in the capital. My children also have careers in the capital, so they can move when they want."
However, Xu Jingming felt that it might be a bit too lonely for his master to live alone.
"It's better to be quiet."
Liu Hai asked, "Jingming, what have you gained from visiting the virtual world network?"
"I just feel that the entire universe human alliance is so huge, and there are countless civilizations." Xu Jingming sighed, "On Blue Star, I thought I was quite outstanding. But when I came into contact with the ocean of human civilization in the universe, I felt that I was just ordinary. When I enter any virtual game world, there are a lot of people who are better than me."
"The universe is vast, and there are always stronger ones among the strong." Liu Hai is looking forward to it. "The Tai Chi lineage of our Xia country was created by our ancestors and improved by generations. If we can absorb the nourishment of countless civilizations in the universe, I wonder to what extent the Tai Chi lineage can be transformed."
Xu Jingming nodded: "After becoming a star life, the life span is long. Under Master's hands, the Tai Chi lineage will definitely reach unprecedented heights."
Our ancestors may have been extremely wise, but due to their limited knowledge and lifespan, the achievements of Tai Chi were limited to this.
Liu Hai’s current lifespan is three thousand years old. How long is the history of Xia State?
"I feel like you should have broken through to the middle realm of starry sky life, right?" Liu Hai looked at his apprentice. He could sense that even though his apprentice's life breath was restrained, there was still a faint sense of oppression.
"It's only been a few days since I broke through." Xu Jingming nodded, "Master, I don't think it will take too long for you to break through as well."
"Um."
Liu Hai nodded. "After becoming a star life, my spiritual awareness has been greatly enhanced. I have directly broken through to 82% of the fifth level, and I am not far from the sixth level. By the way, do you have any suggestions for the virtual world network? I am completely in the dark now."
Xu Jingming thought for a moment and said, "You can first study the virtual worlds ranked in the top 100 in the universe and try to explore them. The first one or two months is just exploration. Don't rush to stay in a virtual world for a long time. My core now is the 'Blood Rain World'. If I can establish a foothold there, I can invite Master to go there with me. Now I am still in the wandering stage."
"Blood Rain World?" Liu Hai's eyes lit up. "Are you planning to take root in that world?"
"The origin of the Blood Rain World is very special, and it's worth spending more effort on it." Xu Jingming nodded, "I estimate it will take a few months before it can take root."
A month later, he had to serve as the Fei family's bodyguard and escort them to the imperial capital.
What Xu Jingming wants is to take root in the imperial capital of the bloody rain world!
If there is a way, help Master Liu Hai to take root in the imperial capital. A hero has two helpers. In the world of blood rain, with the help of a master, many things can be more convenient.
"Okay, that's a deal." Liu Hai stood up, "I'm so curious, I'll go to the virtual world website first."
"I won't disturb you, Master." Xu Jingming smiled and stood up to say goodbye.
He is in a good mood.
Since the virtual world was officially opened on Blue Star, I am the first star life in Xia Country, my master is the second, and there will be a third and fourth... It is not just me who is fighting for the entire Blue Star civilization, but a group of people!
…
Virtual world network, personal space.
Xu Jingming first chose to be a sparring partner in the virtual world of "Top of Cold Weapons" and also determined the price - "20,000 Universe Coins per hour".
There is no way. In reality the life level is improved. After reaching the middle level of the starry sky life! The body evolves, the brain naturally evolves, and the spiritual consciousness is greatly enhanced... so that in battle, the movements can be more subtle and precise, and the actual combat is naturally improved.
In addition, the "Time and Space Volume" in the five volumes of gun skills has also been introduced, and the actual combat bonus has officially reached 1020%.
If one can break through the ten-fold threshold of actual combat bonus, the price of sparring partner will naturally increase.
"The higher the price of a sparring partner, the lower the probability of being selected." Xu Jingming secretly sighed. He chose to be a sparring partner, but he was just hanging there! Because the waiting time would be very long. If he was lucky, someone might choose him to be a sparring partner in a short time. If he was unlucky, it might take several hours for someone to choose him.
There are very few citizens of the universe who are willing to spend so much money just for an hour of training.
"Meteorite training."
While Xu Jingming was idle, he was practicing his shooting skills in his personal martial arts training ground.
Meteorites burning with flames were seen tearing through the sky at extremely high speeds and hitting the area where Xu Jingming was.
"Bang, bang, bang." The spear danced, causing meteorites to fall to the side. Xu Jingming tried to combine the artistic conception of the spear techniques of "Flowing Water Scroll" and "Time and Space Scroll" in pursuit of the ultimate power and speed.
“ The mind should be as quiet as the stars. Comprehend the appearance of all living things, guide the momentum of all things, and gather the momentum of the spear. As the momentum gathers, it will become greater and greater, and only then can it be unstoppable and exert that kind of extreme power and speed.” Xu Jingming was practicing spear skills. Although he had some understanding after hearing Lord Luo’s words, knowing is one thing and practicing is another.
Because the situation is changing.
The enemy is targeting you, find a way to defeat or even kill you!
I want to control all factors around me and lead the momentum of all things, but the more powerful the enemy is, the more likely he is to "interrupt" or "destroy" this momentum. This process of fighting each other requires enough patience! The mind also needs to be quiet enough to seize every opportunity to win.
"Bang bang bang." Countless meteorites fell, and Xu Jingming blocked them one after another, and his gun skills became more and more fierce.
"boom."
A bullet suddenly penetrated a meteorite, causing it to explode completely.
All other meteorites in the sky stopped and then turned into nothingness.
Xu Jingming glanced at the virtual world of "Cold Weapon Summit" and said, "I have been idle for so long, and no one has chosen me?"
Maybe among all the sparring partners who have achieved a 'tenfold actual combat bonus', I am too inconspicuous.
"Almost there, the actual combat bonus has reached ten times! I can go and try 'Escape from the Dark Abyss'." Xu Jingming first cancelled the sparring and then clicked on the 'Escape from the Dark Abyss' side quest in the Dark Abyss world.
This mission only has three large-scale events every day. Of course, Xu Jingming was reluctant to give up.
"It's a large-scale event, and the opening fee is one million universe coins. In the entire Hunter Universe... there are only three events a day. There are too many masters among the participants. Some 'eighth-level star anchors' often broadcast live about escaping from the abyss. Occasionally, a ninth-level master will give it a try." Xu Jingming shook his head.
It’s a big event with attractive prize money.
But the competitors are too strong! Occasionally there are ninth-level masters, and there are usually more than a hundred people at the eighth level! There are usually tens of thousands of seventh-level masters! Among the tens of thousands of seventh-level masters, there are naturally some who are very strong in actual combat. Many are experienced! As for some fifth-level and sixth-level masters, most of them are "fortune-giving boys"! Unless there are very few people with extraordinary talents, spiritual will, and luck, it is difficult for those below the seventh level to rush into the top 100.
"That Lord Luo is so much weaker than me. I'm afraid he is just giving away money by participating in large-scale events." Xu Jingming thought to himself.
Because it is difficult to make money and because the civilization of his hometown, Blue Star, has a weak foundation, Xu Jingming is very cautious about spending money.
"On the contrary, for medium-sized events, since there is no limit on the number of sessions, you can participate at any time. There are fewer experts." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "I can give it a try."
"Sign up! 100,000 Universe Coins!"
Xu Jingming quickly signed up for the second level mission of Escape from the Dark Abyss. The registration fee was 100,000 yuan, and the participants were 1 million space citizens. The total prize pool was 100 billion space coins and 50% of the audience's reward amount.
…
For the second level mission, once the quota is filled, the competition can start immediately!
The registration is open to the entire Hunter Universe (different universes are too far apart, and there is still a delay through the virtual world network, so they will not compete on the same stage). The number of registrations is increasing very quickly. When Xu Jingming registered, there were only more than 300,000 people, but in a short while, there were more than 500,000 people.
Xu Jingming waited for only about three minutes before the number of registered people reached 1 million.
“Wow.”
Xu Jingming only felt that the scene in front of him changed, and he came to a dark and empty place, where he was alone.
At this moment, I am wearing shoes, sportswear, and have bare hands.
"Please choose to modify your clothes and appearance." A voice sounded in the dark. Xu Jingming looked at the panel that appeared in front of him, did not make any changes, and chose 'OK'.
…
"I have to change my appearance first. Otherwise, my identity will be exposed and I will be attacked by others. It will be too embarrassing to be eliminated early." A blue-skinned woman wearing a hat was smiling and talking to the audience, "I have to make myself more lovely."
As she spoke, she made herself more petite, adjusted her eyes, and her smile looked like a crescent moon.
"Okay! My goal this time is very simple, at least get into the top three." The blue-skinned woman said with a smile.
"Tata, one punch each."
"Tata, the invincible iron fist."
"Tata, you are an old monster of the eighth level, and you are participating in the middle-level escape from the dark abyss. It's too much of a bully."
"Look how Tata lost!"
In her personal virtual live broadcast room, countless viewers sat in the stands watching, and the number of viewers had reached tens of millions.
These audiences are all citizens of the universe!
Such a number of viewers is already astonishing.
"Okay, once the Escape from the Abyss event starts, I won't be able to see your messages." The blue-skinned woman said, "But everyone, just watch my performance!"
As a star life who has practiced for more than 5,000 years, she has had many brilliant achievements. She has even represented the Star Alliance in fierce battles with other Star Alliance teams. She has also achieved extremely high achievements in many virtual worlds, which is why she has accumulated so many fans of Space Citizen.
…
"I made a mistake in the last game. I was careless and was tricked. I was besieged." A bald man with gray skin touched his head. "But to be honest, is it so difficult to escape from the abyss now even for a medium-sized one ? I have won the first place several times. For 21 consecutive days, I have never been out of the top ten!"
"Come again." The gray-skinned bald man's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Mo Dao, you are too arrogant. You need to be more cautious."
"I don't think you'll make it into the top 100 this time."
"You'd better choose the weakest level to escape from the abyss. This level is too difficult for you now!"
Many audiences were talking.
This celebrity anchor named "Magic Knife" is a seventh-level star life form, but his swordsmanship is extraordinary, and his live broadcast is very interesting, and there are hundreds of thousands of cosmic citizens watching.
…
"Ake and I are here again! This time we brothers don't have high requirements, we must at least be in the top 100." The two brothers with soft tentacles chatted and entered the dark void, and began to change their appearance and clothes. "We have to change our appearance, otherwise we will be besieged if we are recognized."
The two brothers were only sixth-order star life forms, but they were strong in actual combat skills and were also small anchors in the universe, with hundreds of live viewers. This was the result of the two brothers fighting for their lives. There were countless "sixth-order star life forms" in the universe, and it was too difficult to stand out.
…
"5...4...3...2...1!"
Xu Jingming only felt that the scene in front of him changed. It was a vast land, the sky was dark red, and densely packed people appeared here.
They have different clothes and different looks! Some are less than one meter tall, while others are more than five meters tall. Some have skin so tender that you can see the blood vessels inside, while others have skin as thick as rock. These "one million space citizens" come from countless civilizations in the Hunter Universe.
"The participants of this 'Escape from the Dark Abyss' mission come from 933,255 cosmic civilizations, including 2 eighth-level star life forms, 156 seventh-level star life forms, more than 100,000 sixth-level star life forms, and the rest are fifth-level star life forms."
"Among the one million universe citizens, the one who survives to the end is the only one who is qualified to escape the dark abyss, and he will also receive 50% of the bonus pool."
"You are now in the 20th level of the Dark Abyss. The rules for the first round are: as long as you kill one person, you can go to the 19th level of the Abyss."
"Now, the mission begins."
The mighty sound echoed everywhere.
The one million cosmic citizens who participated in the event, including Xu Jingming who participated for the first time, had already understood the rules and had even watched many videos.
"If you make it through the first three rounds, you can earn back the registration fee." Xu Jingming knew this very well. If you can't make it through the first three rounds, you won't get any income. As long as you make it through the first three rounds... at least you won't lose money! The more you go, the more you will earn.
"In the first three rounds, you need to be careful and avoid running into any tough enemies." Xu Jingming looked around cautiously.
"What are you looking at?" A three-meter-tall gray-skinned man shouted, then rushed to Xu Jingming and slapped him.
Xu Jingming's figure flashed. His footwork was extremely fast, and he was relatively small and agile. While avoiding the slap, he also got close to the gray-skinned man.
puff!
With a lightning-fast kick from his right foot, he accurately kicked the three-meter-tall giant in the lower body.
Xu Jingming has been practicing the Chuo kick since he was a child, but he is also good at other kicks! The Chuo kick is powerful, but the move is relatively slow. The Bouncing Kick is the fastest His calf is like a spring, popping out in an instant, as fast as an afterimage.
"Woo woo--" The giant's eyes widened, he covered his lower body with his hands, and squatted down with his legs clamped together.
puff!
The right foot kicked the giant's throat again. The throat caved in, and there was shock and anger in the giant's eyes. Then he fell down powerlessly.
“So what if he’s big? In the mission to escape from the abyss, everyone has the same physical fitness. The actual combat bonus of this big alien guy is estimated to be no more than 200%.” Xu Jingming thought, and a dark red light column descended and enveloped Xu Jingming, sending him to a higher level - the 19th level of the dark abyss.
…
"puff."
Xu Jingming's punch was like a gun, turning into an afterimage that pierced the chest of a red-haired, red-skinned burly man, directly piercing through his chest.
"I was so scared that I tried my best, but it turned out to be another weakling." Xu Jingming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was really impossible to tell from the surface whether the opponent was level 5 or level 8! After all, they were of the same physical fitness.
…
A cute alien with a furry tail, only 1.5 meters tall, with agility even better than Xu Jingming, treated Xu Jingming as his prey.
"Little darling, stop resisting." The alien licked with his tongue, his figure flashed, and his right hand clawed out to grab Xu Jingming's throat.
Xu Jingming has always been very cautious and followed his own gun philosophy to meet the enemy.
Xu Jingming's arm was like a gun barrel. He blocked the alien's claw with his arm, and at the same time, he stepped forward to hit the alien with his elbow. The alien strangely used its tail to block its chest to block the elbow. Xu Jingming raised his palm when he elbowed, but he slapped it down! A slap directly hit the petite alien's face, and its head was slapped into nothingness.
A dark red beam of light descended, and Xu Jingming arrived at the 17th level of the Dark Abyss.
"Good luck." Xu Jingming was very happy. "The opponents in the first three rounds were not very strong. Only the one with the tail blocked a few of my moves."
"After getting through the first three rounds, at least I earned my registration fee."
Xu Jingming stood on the vast land, the seventeenth level of the dark abyss. The sky was gloomy, the ground was gray, and citizens of the universe arrived here one by one.
Finally, 125,000 space citizens have arrived! Of the one million people who signed up before, only this many remain.
"It will be dangerous from now on." Xu Jingming became more cautious. The rules will become more stringent in the later stages, and it will be easier to encounter experts.
