Chapter 3: Acceptance of Tasks, Elective System
On the second day after he arrived in this world, when only one Yinxi could be as close as fifty copper coins in his pocket, Shi Yinghu spent twenty-five copper coins to have breakfast in the cafeteria, and then stepped into the mission hall opened to students by the Ancient Snake Fort.
For breakfast, he had sliced butter bread, grilled onions with gravy and a pork soup.
The tongue in his mouth twisted for a moment, and Shi Yinghu seemed to be able to reminisce about the rich and mellow taste of pork soup with butter bread slices.
Although it is too extravagant to spend twenty-five copper coins for breakfast, after leaving the Ancient Snake Castle, you will not be able to enjoy such affordable and affordable food subsidies. Therefore, in the eyes of foodies like Shi Yinghu, such efforts and gains are worth it.
Of course, it's time to make money.
Otherwise, even if the canteen of the Ancient Snake Fort school canteen has government financial subsidies, it would not be in vain to a student who could not even afford a copper, even a piece of black bread.
In this world, because of the relatively harsh living environment of human beings, most people do not have the extra heart of goodness.
Wearing a worn cloth robe, Shi Yinghu walked into a campus building, a task hall prepared by the school for students.
As mentioned in the previous article: "Unless you are a particularly outstanding student, you can get some opportunities to make money." Ordinary students don't think about it.
Therefore, the tasks in the task hall prepared by the school for students are usually some miscellaneous tasks:
For example, washing clothes for a professor, cleaning the room; weeding, taking care of pets; patrolling at night; and other jobs, it is OK to earn some food expenses through work and study, but the chance of making a real money is very small.
It is not cost-effective to do these school tasks and earn a little money but affect your normal academic practice. However, Cate Bryan has actually graduated and all the knowledge is in his mind. Shi Yinghu is worried that excessive changes in daily behavior will reveal his strength, so he chose to take a patrol mission first.
Occasionally, one or two meals are better, there is no big change, and no one will be so keen.
Task bulletin board, one piece of attached parchment:
Ancient Snake Castle patrol mission, regular mission
Time: One month
Remuneration: One gold coin
Special note: If potential dangers are found during the execution of the task, you can solve them yourself or notify the school. After the task is over, the school will add task remuneration according to the specific circumstances.
One gold coin is equal to ten silver coin, and one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, which means that one gold coin is about one thousand yuan. And during this month's patrol, it is difficult to make any money by completing a simple patrol mission. Fortunately, Shi Yinghu just wanted to leave the Ancient Snake Castle to digest all the knowledge and memories of Kate Brian.
I reached out and tear off the parchment paper on the bulletin board. I did this task if someone did it, and no one did it for months or even a year and a half. There was nothing to do.
As one of the major schools of witch hunters, the Ancient Snake Castle is called the "Snake Cave" by the witch hunter world. In fact, there are very few "people" who are really brave and dare to cause trouble. If an irrational low-level demon and undead creature are discovered by the residents of the surrounding villages and towns, they will immediately ask for help from the Ancient Snake Castle.
Therefore, this is a routine task that is better than nothing.
After tearing off the task arch paper, Shi Yinghu did not leave, but continued to stare at the task bulletin board, hoping to find out if there is any task to complete by the way. After a moment, Shi Yinghu's eyes lit up, and then he tear off a piece of parchment from the notice board, and then walked towards the task administrator responsible for registration.
Collection of Dead Soul Grass, commissioned tasks
Certified: Pharmacy Professor Acres
Time: Permanent
Remuneration: Five bottles of therapeutic agents
Special note: The Dead Soul Grass grows in a place with a rich undead spirit, and looks like a dandelion, but when blown by the wind, it will show the image of a crying face.
To complete the patrol mission, you have to circle around the Ancient Snake Castle to five specific locations and complete the patrol. You have to pass through places such as cemeteries and cathedrals. Therefore, you can search by the way. If you can find it, you will have a relationship with Mr. Acres, a professor of pharmacy.
Finally, Shi Yinghu completed the task registration, but was asked by the administrator to paste the parchment paper for the collection task of the Dead Soul Grass. This task is shared for a long time. In fact, as long as you come with the herbs, no matter who it is, Professor Acres will collect it.
At noon that day, Shi Yinghu simply packed up his bag and then left the Ancient Snake Castle.
If a rich man would rent or even buy a traveling horse, Shi Yinghu was not considered a rich man at this time, so he could only run away with his legs.
Of course, Shi Yinghu didn't care about this. Just now, the body was numb and his hands and feet were not flexible. A hard trip would help him melt his mind, hands and feet and integrate them.
Carrying a package, wearing an old cloth robe, and carrying two long swords given by the school, Shi Yinghu embarked on the journey to this world.
The two long swords given by the school, one is a conventional steel sword and the other is a silver magic sword. The former kills people and the latter eliminates spirits. It is considered the last gift from the Ancient Snake Castle to every student... It is not cheap. The Ancient Snake Castle costs one thousand gold coins per year. Kate Brian has been trained in the Ancient Snake Castle for ten years. After graduation, he has to repay the school ten gold coins every month for ten years.
Of course, students can also choose to repay the school’s seven gold coins every month, twenty years, or six gold coins every month, and thirty years. In short, almost no one can owe money from the Ancient Snake Castle without paying it back.
Those who are strong will not lose this little money, and those who are weak will not be able to not pay back the money in front of the Ancient Snake Castle.
The reputation of the Ancient Snake Castle in the world of witch hunters is both good and evil. For students who violently resist debt, they can directly catch them and become skeleton mages. Some people can accept such things as skeleton warriors, while others cannot agree with it.
…………
People in the world generally have an illusion: that is, horses can run faster than people.
But in fact, except for the short-distance sprinting, if the distance is more than 100 kilometers, a horse cannot run a human. If the logistical factors are considered... a horse cannot run a human, because the horse needs far more food than humans, and the cooling system is far inferior to that of humans. If a person who has been practicing for many years runs with a horse for more than 200 kilometers, if he does not use various methods to cool down the horse, most horses in the world will die if they run less than half of them.
From the Ancient Snake Castle to the first stop of Campard Forest, Shi Yinghu, carrying a bag and a double sword, wrapped his cloth robe around his legs and arms, and then ran wildly. When he was exhausted by about two-thirds of his physical strength, he stopped to rest and then started running.
During the running process, Shi Yinghu kept making various Taoist magic seals with his hands, and the magic effect was completely gone, but he could cooperate with breathing and breathing to activate the qi and blood all over his body. Even during the running process, Shi Yinghu's feet and ten fingers were constantly hooking the magic seals, handprints, breathing and footprints echo each other, causing the qi and blood all over his body to surging, and gradually dispel the cold and cold feeling that was originally scattered throughout Cate Bryan.
This feeling is partly due to the practice of Necromancer's meditation, but the bigger reason is that Cate Bryan has a long-term lack of exercise and has long-term malnutrition.
After all, he is only eighteen years old this year, which is the time when the qi and blood are strong. The cultivation of the necromancer magic is still shallow, and in fact it is far from reaching the point where negative energy erodes the body and the load is difficult to return.
During the long-distance running, Shi Yinghu was sweating all over his body, and his pale cheeks flushed. At this moment, the grass shook slightly on the side of the road, and then a furry and chubby rabbit jumped out, brown and yellow. It was not very afraid of people, and it looked really cute.
“Huhu…”
As his steps stopped, Shi Yinghu panted and smiled gently at the fat brown rabbit, saying, "Little guy, the sun is so big, aren't you afraid of heatstroke?"
The furry and chubby brown rabbit tilted his head, not seeming to understand what Shi Yinghu was saying.
Twenty minutes later, Shi Yinghu peeled the fat rabbit, washed it clean, and then roasted it on the fire. The pure wild rabbit was extremely fat and baked on the fire and it was fried, and the aroma spread. Shi Yinghu teared off a rabbit leg, then chewed it on the black bread, which was as hard as wood, and then mixed with rabbit oil after baking it, which was a good flavor.
This time, Shi Yinghu came out of the Ancient Snake Fort, but he didn't bring many gifts, but he bought a lot of various condiments. When he could choose, Shi Yinghu did not allow himself to suffer. He worked hard to practice and got rewards for delicious food every day. This is a dynamic balance. Squeezing oneself to suffer is not a powerful way in Shi Yinghu's opinion.
After eating and drinking, and taking a short rest, Shi Yinghu sat cross-legged under a tree and began to practice the undead meditation of this world.
The life evolution system of this plane world is completely different from the true qi martial arts system on the earth plane. The true qi martial arts system on the earth plane is calm, empty the mind, and the energy sinks into the dantian, gathers the source energy around it, and uses the dantian Qihai two inches below the navel as a furnace to mix and temper the spiritual energy, qi and blood energy, and the source energy of heaven and earth into the true qi that promotes the evolution of life.
However, the cultivation system that comes to this world is the cultivation core of the above-mentioned ancestral orifice at the center of the Dantian eyebrows, and has developed a cultivation path that is completely different from the true qi martial arts system.
It mainly focuses on spiritual energy and heaven and earth source energy, and continuously cultivates strong one's own mental power, and finally derived something that Shi Yinghu had never thought of before, similar to: the spiritual meridian system.
All of this knowledge is recorded in Kate Brian's memory, so it is not difficult for Shi Yinghu to extract it out easily. The only problem is that with the devouring and replacement of the soul, Kate Brian's originally solidified spiritual meridian system and its related magic positions have all disappeared and cleared.
This is also the reason why Shi Yinghu hurriedly left the Ancient Snake Castle. He can't even cast a necromancer spell now. If he is asked to practice casting in class, he will immediately reveal his fat claws.
(The necromancer magic of the Ancient Snake Castle is divided into three major systems: the bone system, the curse system, the bone and the toxin system. Low-level necromancers will choose to major in two.)
(Kate Brian is a very extreme person. He only majored in the bone summoning system, and he only tried the curse system briefly, and the bone and toxin system did not practice at all. In fact, these three systems have their own strengths and are all extremely practical abilities.) In the ocean of memory, looking down at the memories of his predecessors, Shi Yinghu could analyze it more clearly as a bystander.
Now there are some skill points on the hunter system that have not been used yet, and I am extremely weak at this moment. I need these skill points to be effective in strengthening my combat power and improving my own self-protection ability.
In addition to being too extreme in character, Cate Bryan is actually a top student. His knowledge reserves are outstanding among first-level necromancers. After Shi Yinghu acquires this knowledge, he can learn whether it is the summoning of bones, the curse of the necromancers, or the primary spells of bones and toxins. The shortcomings of years of hard work can be supplemented by the skill points provided by the hunter system.
The problem now is that there are only one skill point, which system should be selected to strengthen itself.
(Kate Brian has the most in-depth research on the bone summoning system. He even has a certain understanding of the spells of the second-level bone summoning, especially since he replaced the clay stone magic position with the Hell Three-headed Dog spell position. If completed, Kate Brian, who has the Hell Three-headed Dog, can even sweep away most first-level professions and has a bright future.)
(The problem is, I only have a little skill point, the front spell position of the Hell Three-headed Dog spell position, and although the skeleton resurrection is also very good, for me now, there is equal to none.)
The skeleton revived and summoned a skeleton warrior from the corpse to fight for the necromancer.
Many people think it is the most powerful necromancer's summoning object. Necromancers in the legendary realm can even use the sea of skeletons to siege cities and forts, and fight against the legion, bring the frenzy and fear of death to the world with their own strength.
But that was a necromancer in the legendary realm. Just like a warrior in the legendary realm of the Earth plane, the essence of the soul began to sublimate, and spells truly became the power to be controlled by them, and no longer just spell positions.
For low-level necromancers, the revived skeleton warrior can also be very powerful, but then it requires efforts to select materials.
Many low-level necromancers work part-time tomb robbers, stealing corpses everywhere, just like collecting, extracting the strongest bones on those corpses, and then forming a powerful skeleton warrior. The skeleton warriors made in this way can even fight one-on-one battles with the same level of professional warriors, and have excellent potential. If two or three are created and successfully summoned, basically no low-level professional will be the opponent of the same level of necromancers.
But for Shi Yinghu now, he could not even find his complete corpse. This is the ancient snake castle, snake cave, and the gathering place for necromancers. In this area, the corpse of a young man is worth a gold coin, the corpse of an old man and a woman is worth a five silver coin, and the corpse of a child is worth a silver coin. If the quality is particularly good, or even the corpse of a professional, it is very normal to increase the price by several or even dozens of times.
Therefore, within the scope of the Ancient Snake Castle, it is difficult for low-level necromancers to have the opportunity to use the basic secret spell of "Skeleton Resurrection".
(I only have a little skill point now, so I can only put this spell down for the time being.) As I thought, Shi Yinghu focused on the curse-type initial spell "damage deepening" and the toxins and the bone-type initial spell "Bone Armor" and "Bone Teeth".
The initial spell damage of the curse-type is deepened, which can reduce the recipient's physical defense by half. That is to say, even if you were originally wearing iron armor, under the action of this spell, the iron armor is no different from the wooden armor, and the original weight does not change for the recipient.
Although there are many abilities to break this spell, low-level lower-level creatures have no rationality or wisdom at all, so there are more opponents who will not crack this spell, which is a very valuable ability.
The initial spells of toxin and bone system "Bone Armor" and "Bone Tooth", one defense and one attack. After the white bone armor is cast, it can create a bone shield that rotates continuously on the center of the caster on three sides. These three sides of shields can absorb a large amount of damage caused to the enemy by the enemy. It can be said that it is the most important self-protection spell for low-level necromancers.
Many necromancers even if they do not major in the toxins and bone systems, they will choose to practice bone armor, and even reach a very high level.
Because I only have one life, especially for the new low-level necromancers, it is inevitable that they will be careless and accidentally missed. With a bullet, a gun, or even a primitive man's arrow, the necromancer's vitality is often not strong. If you suffer, you may die on the spot. After casting the spell of the white bone armor for yourself, such danger will be eliminated, and at least you will not die inexplicably.
The Bone Tooth is a ranged offensive spell. The Necromancer summons a sharp and extremely penetrating bone tooth to attack the opponent.
The actual combat effect is just like one of the ordinary people who has a pistol in his hand. As the level of the Bone Tooth's cultivation increases, a single-shot pistol will also be advanced to a large-scale shotgun. When the spell level is higher, the damage that the Bone Tooth can cause will be considerable.
Of course, with the development of the times, more and more low-level professionals have begun to wear body armor and use firearms.
Wearing a bulletproof vest, using powerful and even silver bullet guns, months of training can be worth many years of hard work. In the world of witch hunters, there are more and more such witch hunters, but at the same time, they are also despised or even suppressed by high-level witch hunters.
Because many senior high-level witch hunters feel that using and relying on this technological weapon, young people will no longer devote themselves to cultivating their own abilities. Just like in the previous plane world, on Earth, many older generation warriors hate the use of guns by warriors. Using guns by warriors does have a sharp increase in combat power, but it will indeed affect future development potential.
In a purely technological civilization world, people of course think that technology is the only truth in the universe. However, Shi Yinghu has seen martial arts civilization, divine civilization, technological civilization, and even the current magic civilization. When these civilizations develop to the extreme, they may not be weaker than technological civilization, and may even be stronger and more prosperous.
Deepening damage can improve one's damage output ability, and white bone armor can improve one's self-protection ability. White bone Tooth Stone Yinghu is not interested in it. He would rather use firearms than invest too much time and energy in this low-level attack necromancer spell.
(Choose damage deepening or bone armor? Choose bone armor. The advantage is to improve self-protection ability. For opponents, it is nothing more than a problem of cutting two more swords... But with my ability, will I still be defended by attacking and defensive swords when facing low-level monsters?) Shi Yinghu is a somewhat arrogant person. After thinking about this, he did not hesitate anymore and pointed a little skill point in the hunter system on the damage deepening of the Necromancer Curse system.
With the different planes of the world, the manifestation of the power of the Shenwu system is also different, and adaptation changes have occurred.
In the Earth plane, the power of the system is mainly to receive martial arts knowledge from the equal plane of the multiverse. In this world, the power of the system is more inclined to be directly converted into the host's boost. After all, Shi Yinghu has been promoted to the fifth edition of the 80th level system. Although the power of the Shenwu system has been exhausted, some essential improvements have been preserved.
Under the ancient tree, as Shi Yinghu's thoughts gathered, a dark blue and bright color gradually lit up, and spreading towards his body with waves centered on his forehead and eyebrows.
That skill point turned into a spiritual energy, impacting the spiritual meridian system understood by Kaishi Yinghu. In a very short time, the rune mark that most mages need months or even years to solidify into solidify into.
When Shi Yinghu, who had been sitting cross-legged on the tree for a night, opened his eyes again, stretched his palm forward, gathered his spirit, and outlined the magic seal with the five fingers. Then, a small piece of orange-red color fell into the grass, with stars dotted: necromancer spell, the damage deepened, and learned.
"Huh...the knowledge, hand techniques, and spiritual condensation are not better than martial arts. I hope the future development prospects will not be inferior to martial arts."
The earth still has to go back. In Shi Yinghu's case, his family, relatives, wife, and disciples are all in that world, so he must go back in the future, and his family is there, but it is true that he saves his life here first. The world in front of him is full of unknowns and dangers.
Shi Yinghu knew about plane wars and civilization wars. Therefore, before gaining enough self-protection ability, he must be able to survive. He would rather hide in the shadows and accumulate strength for more than ten or twenty years than waste his life.
As I said, the Shenwu system no longer has the ability to protect its soul from traveling through time again.
