The setting sun sets the shadow of the tavern sign long,
The short and fat boss calculated the wine bill behind the counter.
The guests drank ale and looked at the stage.
The poet holding the piano is singing lazily:
“…When all legends write the first chapter
It turns out that the so-called heroes are the same as us.”
Xiao Ling likes Xiu-Xisterry's poem very much. This poem has a kind of flavor of the world. Heroes do not ask where they come from, and the term hero is just a respectful title for a group of people. The so-called hero is actually no different from ordinary people.
Xiao Ling was lying on the old willow tree outside the town of Brakadavijin with a dogtail grass in his arms, leisurely spending the afternoon. He has been too tired to mine recently and has a rare rest. As dusk approaches, the setting sun lazily spreads the red glow on the town. The evening breeze blows, causing a faint yellow sand and dust.
Men and women come and go in the town, mages, priests in robes, paladins in silver-white armor, barbarians, elves, and humans, busy creating value for the game company.
They were either ready to go, or seeking to form a team, shouting loudly, and the entire town of Wikin was very lively.
"The level 35 full purple set high output fire mage seeks to form the ashes forest, some are secrets."
"The level 40 high-defense, thick-blooded violent barbarian warrior seeks to form the Elasi Swamp,,,,,,,,"
"The level 40 elite team needs 500+ priests, some of whom are yelling."
Looking at these busy players, Xiao Ling was envious. When will he really start leveling? When he thinks about his experience in entering the game, he suddenly felt depressed. Among all professions, warlocks are marginal professions, and the least required of major tasks is warlocks, because the damage output of warlocks is never comparable to that of mages. Many control skills are only effective for some monsters. When encountering a boss, they can only stare at them. Moreover, warlocks are demon professions. Except for Brakada, NPCs in other places are unwilling to post tasks to warlocks.
Although warlocks are on the edge, some tasks still need warlocks. Some skills in the three-type profession of demon warlocks, doom warlocks, and pain warlocks are very useful in tasks. If the warlock players have good consciousness, reactions and equipment, they will play a role no less than that of a mage called a battlefield soul.
Moreover, the three-type warlock is a single-training god, and the leveling speed when a single-player leveling is no less than the thief who is called the King of the Wild.
Also as a warlock, an alchemist is the edge of the edge.
Alchemists are also divided into potion alchemists and mechanical alchemists.
Potion Alchemists enhance their strength by refining various potions. Their spell damage is very low, and after drinking potions, they can only barely reach 80%-90% of the spell damage of ordinary warlocks, but the potions they refine are extremely expensive.
In Aidins, the main city of Brakada, the enhancement potion refined by an advanced potion alchemist can be auctioned for a high price of one or two thousand gold coins.
If the potion alchemist is of some use, the mechanical alchemist chosen by Xiao Ling is the waste among the waste.
The mechanical alchemist's magic damage is only about 40% of that of ordinary sorcerers.
The talent of a mechanical alchemist is engineering, which can create mechanical puppets. Each mechanical alchemist can carry a mechanical puppet, and the mechanical puppet also has a certain combat power. For example, a primary first-level mechanical imposter has about 80% of the mechanical alchemist's spell damage output, which can make up for the shortcomings of low spell damage to the mechanical alchemist to a certain extent.
A mechanical alchemist plus a mechanical puppet, the spell damage of the two can be compared with an ordinary sorcerer. If the grade of the mechanical puppet is high enough, then the mechanical alchemist is enough to be arrogant to any magic profession.
At that time, Xiao Ling also entered the game with such fantasy, and also learned four production skills: mining, metallurgy, forging, and engineering with great enthusiasm, and was preparing to build his own exclusive mechanical puppet.
But the fantasy was quickly shattered. After more than a month, many players rose to more than 40 levels, entered major dungeons, put on high-level blue and purple, and Xiao Ling's level was still at level one.
Without mechanical puppets, mechanical alchemists are just waste and cannot level up at all.
But it is not that simple to make a mechanical puppet.
Impact metallurgy requires money, forging requires money, and engineering requires even more money. Xiao Ling's money earned from mining ore every day has been poured into this bottomless abyss.
In a month and a half, Xiao Ling's four production skills have been greatly improved, but the level has not been upgraded.
Excavation: Grandmaster level, skill proficiency level 307/500
Metallurgy: Advanced, skill proficiency 175/300
Forging: Intermediate, skill proficiency 102/150
Engineering: Junior, Skill Proficiency 47/50
The only thing Xiao Ling is proud of is his own skill level of mining and metallurgy. Currently, the highest mining level is in addition to Xiao Ling's grand master mining technique, there are only two advanced miners on the entire server. It will take some time to practice the grand master miner.
There are even fewer metallurgical people, only three are at the intermediate level, and only Xiao Ling is the senior.
If anyone could stay in the primary mine outside Brakada and keep digging for a month, working more than thirteen hours a day, and be as lucky as Xiao Ling, who digs three pieces of purple gold in succession, he might also become a master miner.
If anyone can risk failure and throw three purple gold stones into the smelting furnace without hesitation and successfully smelting into purple gold nuggets, he may also become a senior metallurgist.
But no one has such good luck, and no one dares to do so.
With the professional certification certificate given by the system, Xiao Ling can get a good position in any major guild and get an enviable salary, but Xiao Lingzhi is not here. His goal is to become the first person in the game, not the first person in the production profession, but the first person in the level and strength.
If it weren't for the grandmaster mining and advanced metallurgy, Xiao Ling would have deleted his account and practiced again, and wouldn't have been so irrelevant.
Xiao Ling stroked the smooth surface of the purple gold nuggets, as if he was caressing his lover. The dazzling light of the smelted purple gold nuggets was Xiao Ling's hope.
Zijin: a third-order rare ore, which can be used in metallurgy, forging, and engineering.
It is said that in Brakada's auction house, there was an unsmelted purple gold ore that had sold a high price of 2,000 gold coins, and only one appeared. Xiao Ling had to sigh at his luck. That day, he dug in the primary mine cave and found a piece of lilac ore, which shoveled down three ores. A series of system prompts made Xiao Ling confused. The miner's level actually jumped from advanced to master level. The three purple ores in the package made Xiao Ling extremely excited.
You know, this is a rare ore.
Ores are divided into three levels: ordinary, rare and treasure. Each level is divided into five levels. Ordinary ones are more common, rare ores are quite rare, and third-level rare is even rare. Xiao Ling has never seen rare ores above the third level, let alone treasures.
What if the purple gold nuggets were refined into mechanical puppets?
Three purple gold nuggets are enough to refine a mechanical puppet.
But trouble also comes. Only after practicing engineering to the intermediate level can you make the most basic puppet mechanical ghost. Xiao Ling estimated that it would cost about three thousand gold coins to hit the intermediate level engineering. After hitting the intermediate level engineering, you would also have to buy drawings for making mechanical puppets. A drawing for a second-level mechanical ghost sold on the market requires two thousand gold coins.
In other words, if Xiao Ling wants to make a mechanical ghost, he will need at least five thousand gold coins.
This is five thousand gold coins! Xiao Ling's eyes turned pale and he was digging. After more than a month of digging, he only earned about three thousand gold coins without considering the value of three pieces of purple gold. And it was also possible that a master level mined a day and only earned more than ten gold coins. After all, mining has a lot to do with luck.
Ordinary intermediate miners can earn about twenty gold a day when digging, and senior miners can earn fifty gold. As for the master level, no one has counted it yet. Xiao Ling thought about it, there should be no problem in earning more than one hundred gold a day.
Xiao Ling had to spend more than a month to forge a mechanical devil. By then, many players would probably have been promoted to level 50.
Xiao Ling took a look at the rankings of the human world. The highest level was a barbarian warrior named Mad Dragon. He had reached level 49 and left everyone far behind. The second place was a priest named Hua Wu, who was only level 47. However, it was not easy to enter the second place in the rankings as a female priest. Xiao Ling guessed that she should be a Shadow Priest, otherwise the upgrade would not be so fast.
Compared with them, Xiao Ling was a little ashamed. Xiao Ling had tried to go out to fight monsters, but he couldn't even beat the skeletons in the skeleton forest outside the Vijin Town, let alone upgraded. Moreover, Xiao Ling was used to being alone, had no friends, and was even more disdainful to be an experienced baby. Because of his professionalism, his strength was too weak, and no one was willing to form him.
