Chapter 55: Bear's Tenacity
"Have you ever thought of a possibility?"
Mo Lan said after hesitating for a moment.
"What?"
"I don't know if you have noticed, but I have noticed that the NPCs' strengths are gained through training and self-cultivation.
Although they have levels, there is no such thing as killing monsters to level up."
“Perhaps the experience bar is heresy. The real mainstream and orthodox way to level up is training and cultivation.
Every NPC is like this."
"Then what's the point of having experience bars?"
"It's for you to get started, so the experience bar is low in the early stage, and it will increase gradually in proportion later. When the level is high and players are on board, even if the experience bar cannot be upgraded, no one will run away."
"But who would have thought that playing a game would require training to level up? Even if the NPCs were like this, they would just be used as background characters. No one would really learn how to train like an NPC."
Ding Jin asked doubtfully.
“With hundreds of millions of players, there are always people who happen to show up due to various reasons.
It will surely spread slowly by then.”
Mo Lan stretched lazily.
“I actually think this is pretty good. In normal games, you can just level up and level up, and then spend some money to equip yourself with equipment to become a so-called high-level player.
And now?
The experience requirements increase proportionally. If someone can really bring it up, I have nothing to say.
Only those who truly put in the effort and are willing to endure hardships can slowly move up in level and succeed.
Then the entire gaming environment will be many times better than other games."
Mo Lan said with some longing.
"But who would suffer so much just to play a game?"
"You don't still think this is a game?"
Mo Lan laughed out loud and pointed into the store.
"Will the state publish games? What kind of games can have such technical level? What kind of game players can make tens of millions, or even more, by opening a store?
See the name of the game? "Real Game", everything can be considered real, this is the second world created by several countries.
Moreover, you will not die if you die in the real game. The degree of virtuality is as high as 99%, so there will almost certainly be national teams competing and confronting each other in the game.
The significance of this is deeper and greater than we imagined.”
Ding Jin and Zhang Haobo looked at Mo Lan, a little dazed.
"I really didn't think about it so deeply before. Is this game so complicated and so important?"
"Deep? I guess what I've seen is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many hidden things in this game, many of which I definitely can't imagine."
Mo Lan muttered to himself as he looked at the ink box in his mind, but there was something he didn't say out loud.
“What holds up the entire game, and what allows the cartridge to reach the mind of my gaming body.
What is a cartridge...? "
Mo Lan gathered his thoughts and looked at Scar who was leading people in.
"No one comes to visit you for no reason. Scar, you came to visit me in person. Is there something you want?"
Scar looked around and found that it was still the same two spell scrolls, so he withdrew his gaze.
"Nothing, what?"
"Oh, nothing. It's a slang from my hometown, meaning what are you doing here?"
Mo Lan smiled and waved his hand, leading Scar to sit down at the back of the shop.
"We have completed your commission."
Scar said, and Mo Lan showed a hint of joy when he heard it.
"Oh, what spell is that? Are you sure I can carry it?"
"Yes, there are two spells in total, both are first-level spells, namely Bear's Fortitude and Stoneskin.
Bear's toughness will comprehensively enhance your physical fitness, including strength, breathing, endurance, etc., making you as strong as a bear.
Stoneskin turns your skin into hard stone, which can withstand attacks from ordinary knives and swords. It also increases your strength, but will slightly affect your flexibility.
which one you want?"
The service attitude of the Black Crow Gang was commendable. They managed to find two spells for just one commission.
Awesome!
Of course, Mo Lan also knew that this was because he was valuable and the Black Crow Gang wanted to recruit him, so they would naturally show goodwill and do him a favor.
Mo Lan pondered for a moment. Only children make choices. It would be stupid not to increase the diversity of spells if there is a chance. Of course, he should take all of them.
"I want them all. How much is it?"
"Both of these are first-level spells, and they are the kind that can't be sold at a high price. They are cheap, twenty silver nas for the two together, and twenty silver nas for the animal skin and blood.
The commission fee is two gold nas. Since you are a distinguished guest of our Black Crow Gang, we will give you a discount. Two spell cores plus animal skins and animal blood, a total of one gold nas plus fifty silver nas.
One hand pays the other hand delivers the goods.”
Mo Lan immediately counted out one hundred and fifty silver nas and handed them to Scar.
The current market price of one hundred and fifty silver nas is about sixty thousand yuan. The price has dropped a little compared to before, but it is still a huge sum of money.
While Mo Lan secretly sighed, he was also excited about the two newly acquired spells.
After Scar left, Mo Lan couldn't wait to enter the studio to start his research work.
Simply put the analysis of the Psychic Shock spell model on hold and use the ink cartridge to copy the Bear's Tenacity.
Between Stoneskin and Bear's Toughness, Mo Lan directly chose Bear's Toughness.
When Scar said that Stoneskin Technique only strengthened the skin and did not involve the internal organs.
Perhaps this defense is a little stronger, but it is useless against Mo Lan.
What Mo Lan needs is to strengthen his physique so that it can be strong enough to carry the refined magic power.
The bear's tenacity meets all of these requirements and also adds a lot of strength.
"call."
Mo Lan took a deep breath, adjusted his mental state, and slowly calmed down.
Copying the inscription on the ink cartridge, he slowly completed the spell .
"One... two... three... twenty-nine... thirty, huh? Exactly thirty. Is that the strongest level one spell?"
Mo Lan felt a little surprised.
The strength of spell models is easy to distinguish. Basically, the more spell nodes a spell has, the more powerful it is, but different spells are strong in different areas.
Some are extremely powerful, some have a wide coverage, so it may seem that some spells with more spell nodes are not as powerful as those with fewer spell nodes.
But in reality, the more spell nodes there are, the stronger the spell is.
The thirty spell nodes are the dividing points between first-level spells and second-level spells, and are almost always the strongest first-level spells.
Mo Lan thought about it, erased the spell model of Bear's Toughness, and instead reflected the spell model of Stoneskin.
"One... two... three ... twenty-nine... thirty."
Sure enough, Mo Lan’s guess was correct, which made him sigh slightly.
"No wonder the Black Crow Gang has been able to survive for decades. They are very thoughtful."
Both spells have thirty spell nodes, which are obviously carefully prepared, and the price Mo Lan paid is obviously too cheap.
Keeping this in mind, Mo Lan re-reflected the spell model of Bear's Tenacity and began to analyze it.
