Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 17 Crazy Capture
Afeng didn't insist on my choice. Even if I followed his plan, I wouldn't be that strong with my limited gaming experience. After all, for a magician, fighting requires skills and experience, which takes time to accumulate, not luck. Moreover, magicians have poor individual combat capabilities and generally need the cooperation of others to exert their maximum lethality. For an undead wizard like me who might be wanted and hunted, this requirement is obviously not a realistic idea.
Afeng currently lives in Qinglong City and has successfully changed his job to an apprentice knight. It is said that he almost died when fighting two wild wolves alone during the job change mission. He can be said to have escaped death. The badge depicts a knight holding a spear and shield . The attribute of the badge is "increase attack hit rate by 5%", which is also very good for knights with low attack hit rate. The attributes of professional badges in "Tianxia" are generally good. This is to encourage players to wear them so that others can identify your professional level from the badge to reduce unnecessary disputes. Generally, equipment with attributes is very rare. If the badge can be sold or exchanged, it can definitely be sold at a good price.
I am still in the soul stage and cannot go to see him. I agreed to go to Qinglong City to find him after I am resurrected. More than an hour has passed and I have to take a break as I will have to enter the game again soon.
I stared at the skeleton warrior swaying slowly in front of me, my palms sweating. I was hesitant as to whether to take the risk or not.
There is strength in numbers, but the quality of the personnel is also important. A group of weak rabble can't play a big role in the battle and can only serve as sacrifices in vain. I don't want to spend time catching skeleton soldiers. Although there is no danger, they are not very useful. They are not good at fighting. Of course, I don't want to be too ambitious and want to reach the sky in one step. My eyes fell on the stronger skeleton warriors.
Even though my fighting skills have improved, it is still difficult for me to fight a skeleton fight seriously, it will either die or I will die, with a 50% chance. I definitely can't be stupid enough to fight it head-on. If I want to achieve my goal, I can only fight with wisdom instead of strength, and play tricks on it.
This is also thanks to the newly acquired "attack acceleration" skill. Without it, I really wouldn't dare to provoke the skeleton warrior. I still remember its strength very clearly! If it weren't for my good luck, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the sword.
The greater the reward, the higher the risk. I understand this principle. Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. For a better tomorrow, I decided to take this gamble.
My plan is actually very simple. Tao Tao will attack from behind the skeleton warrior. Of course, it is a feint. I don't want to let the cute Tao Tao die. The main purpose is to create momentum to attract the attention of the skeleton warrior. I will rush forward to perform the "Soul Contract" and tap its forehead with one finger. With the 50% speed increase of "Attack Acceleration", the possibility of success will increase a lot. Success is good, but once failed, I will never fight. I will leave the battle quickly even if I have to take a few bone knives from it. The farther the better, wait to recover and then look for the next target.
I have argued this over and over again and I firmly believe that this is the best plan of action. The first one at the beginning is the most dangerous, as I am isolated and helpless. As long as two can succeed, as the team gradually expands, the operation will be much easier. Once everyone rushes forward, my life will be safe.
Taotao and I followed him stealthily. Taotao rushed forward and kicked the skeleton warrior first, then turned and ran. The skeleton warrior was furious and chased after me with a bone knife. I suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed to it quickly. A black light flashed, "Soul Contract"... The bone knife whistled and fell on me. My mental strength was greatly reduced. Damn, I failed again. I quickly fled to the distance, ignoring the anger of the skeleton warrior who was attacked by surprise. If I hadn't run a little faster than it, I'm afraid I would have been cut into pieces by them. I can understand their feelings. If it were me facing an enemy who tried to rape my will, my attitude would not be much better.
This is already the sixth time. Fortunately, I have enough mental strength, otherwise I would not be able to withstand such consumption. After resting for a while, I mustered up my confidence and took Taotao to look for the next target again.
Finally it succeeded. I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the bone knife that was about to chop me was retracted and the fierce skeleton warrior stood quietly aside. After eight consecutive failures, I was about to lose confidence in my plan. For the undead creatures with slightly higher abilities and abundant physical strength than me, the success rate of "Soul Contract" is originally very low, but it is still beyond my imagination that it is so ridiculously low. After a 5% success rate bonus, it is only a little more than 10%. It really tests the will of the caster!
This success has greatly boosted my morale and proved that my plan is still feasible and that the last success was not an absolute accidental flash in the pan. I can still afford a 10% success rate.
With the first one, there will naturally be the second and the third. Although I was often chased around by angry skeleton warriors, I still persisted. Success will definitely come after failure. I no longer take small setbacks seriously.
As the number of my younger brothers increased, my work gradually became easier. Several younger brothers surrounded me, resisting the attack of a skeleton warrior. I kept performing the "Soul Contract" until it succeeded. I no longer had to run for my life. Occasionally getting hit a few times was not a big deal and would not affect me at all.
I didn't think about anything else. My mind was full of thoughts about having more skeleton warriors, enriching my own undead army, and quickly forming combat effectiveness. Until a feeling of weakness came over me, I suddenly realized that the value of my mental strength was less than 10%. This was serious. If I was accidentally hit by two swords, I would be in danger of death. I hurriedly stopped the crazy expansion, found a place for my brothers to guard the outer layer, and I stayed inside to rest.
Frequently casting "Soul Contract" has slightly increased my mental power limit, and the orange color of the mental bar has also deepened. "Soul Contract" has the same effect as the magician's "meditation" and the warrior's "breathing", which can increase the mental power limit, but the effect is really the best. The stronger the object of your soul contract, the more mental power you increase. It not only cultivates yourself, but also increases your subordinates, which is really killing two birds with one stone. Think about it, if the necromancer didn't have some unique features, he would have been destroyed long ago. How can he survive in the world?
After counting, I found that I had recruited seventeen skeleton warriors in total. Most of them were recruited in the second half of the time. It is difficult to do business without capital, but it is different with capital. Money makes money, and interest compounds interest, much faster.
I took a satisfied inspection. Each of them was so tall and mighty, much stronger than those listless skeleton soldiers. Of course, there was still a big gap in numbers, which was far from my requirement. There must be at least a hundred or eighty of them before they could be brought out to show people. If they were killed in no time as soon as they showed up, where would I put my face?
Look at the time, the six-hour deadline is about to arrive. The revolution is far from successful. We still need to work harder next time. Brothers, see you next time.
