[You have mastered the skill: Slash]

In the end, Duan Qing added numbers to his strength first, and every time he added a number to his strength, he went out to find a wild wolf to try. Finally, when his strength reached 7, he performed a chopping action at one time

When I heard the long-awaited system prompt.

After knocking the wolf to the ground a few times, he did not rush to check the wolf's body, but opened the status bar, wanting to appreciate the first skill he learned in "Free World". However, when he opened it

When I looked at the empty skill bar and saw the only skill in it, I only saw a simple introduction.

[Slash: A cutting attack, causing linear slashing damage]

[Power: 1oo%]

[Skill requirement: melee weapons]

Uh...it's so simple that Duan Qing can't understand it.

He silently turned off the skill bar, then found a safe corner and started doing some basic experiments.

He used a slash, and then slashed forward with his sword.

"It seems to be no different from a normal attack. Whether it is a move or a move, it is very slow." Duan Qing shook his head and put away his sword. The simple and neat sword in his eyes made him very dissatisfied.

Then he picked up the sword and picked it out from bottom to top.

"There seems to be no difference. That is, as long as the strength is sufficient, the angle and technique are the player's own choices..." Duan Qing held his chin and muttered to himself, "And gravity and resistance are very limited...

."

He thought for a moment, then thrust forward.

"Let me go, the skill is not working? Is there any other... Well, by the way, Brother Tie seems to have mentioned the stabbing skill..."

After experimenting with many actions, Duan Qing finally determined that the skill of slashing seemed to be no different from ordinary flat slashing. Simply put, this thing was a system-certified flat slash.

If this continues, the thrust will be the system-certified flat thrust...

Production team, you guys are cutting corners!

Duan Qingchai dropped the dagger in his hand to the ground. But thinking about the past of the entire player group, it is estimated that they have already complained about this.

After acquiring this skill, the fighting time with the wild wolf was shortened, but this should be due to his increased strength. There was no change in the way of fighting.

Step forward and slash with your dagger - now it should be called a slash. Then the wild wolf will scratch itself with its front paws, sometimes with the left front paw first, sometimes with the right. If it is with the left, then

Take a step forward to the right, and then you will get a good attack opportunity...

If you jump forward, just retreat. If you pounce forward... it's best to dodge sideways. After all, you will hurt yourself. In the words of the game, it is called an attack judgment. Of course, the wild wolf may additionally turn around to pursue, or continuously

Jumping, it's a little test of reaction ability, just jump away...

The monsters in the novice area should not be difficult no matter how difficult they are. The design of these ordinary monsters is to familiarize players who have just entered the game with the combat mechanism of this world. Although in Duan Qing's eyes, the so-called combat mechanism is

There is no mechanism. What a normal fight looks like is what it is now. In the eyes of a novice, the wild wolf needs to deal with it for a long time, and may even die if he is not careful. In Duan Qing's eyes, it is very simple. Because those who are fighting in the game are very simple.

In the eyes of a novice, those evasive movements that require long-term practice have become conditioned reflex instincts in Duan Qing.

However, it still took Duan Qing a while to recover, and the "stamina" setting in the game also limited Duan Qing's performance.

The stamina bar seems to be as long as the health bar, but every time Duan Qing releases a skill or makes a large movement, part of the stamina bar will be deducted mercilessly. Wait for Duan Qing to jump a few times.

Or in the slashing action, after the stamina bar is exhausted to the end, Duan Qing can only walk back and forth, and cannot even perform normal attacks. Yes, this setting of stamina greatly limits Duan Qing's swings.

Later, in order to study this setting, Duan Qing even fought with the status bar open, ignoring most of the viewing area blocked by the status bar, and danced with the wild wolf for a while, while staring at the stamina bar and observing. After his statistics

, that short stamina bar can probably support him to jump seven or eight times, or slash five or six times, and then he can only hang around and wait for his stamina to recover. Fortunately, the stamina recovers very quickly, as long as he doesn't do it.

Exercise that consumes physical strength interrupts its recovery progress, and it can be fully restored in three or four seconds. Otherwise, this game would be too difficult. Duan Qing even tried to run and jump when his physical strength bar was exhausted, but in addition to the physical feeling

In addition to the aches and pains caused by fatigue, the result was a slight decline in life.

Duan Qing guessed that if he acted forcefully or even released skills when he was low on physical strength, it would be possible to die directly. It would be bad if he could succeed. But now he has no way to consume a lot of physical strength, so he can't prove it.

This one.

Survival is so difficult, skills are so demanding, and combat is so troublesome. It doesn’t have the exhilarating feeling of “gorgeous combat and simple system” in other games. It stands to reason that anyone who has played to this point will be deleting the game every minute.

, but Duan Qing was obviously not an ordinary person, he found it very interesting. He even went to the blacksmith's house to play dirty for a long time and borrowed a wooden shield to study the physical strength consumed by using the shield to block attacks. Although in the end

Still didn't get any useful results, but I learned another skill.

[Block: Use shield to block attacks.]

[Power: 6o%]

[Skill requirement: holding a shield]

Recalling the scene when he was knocked away by Iron Heart's shield, Duan Qing felt that the power was probably a bit low.

The remaining numbers were deducted again, and Duan Qing planned to return to the village for a rest. But before leaving, he looked at the dagger in his hand and thought for a while, and then tried to chop the sword in a certain direction, and then

Pick it up quickly.

Then, he stood there maintaining the downward slashing motion and did not move for a long time.

"How long does it take to be stiff after a slash..." He thought for a while, then slowly withdrew his sword: "That is, if you want to make continuous slashes, you need to break through this bottleneck in other places...

....Hey, maybe it’s a new skill, a cunning system..."

He shook his head and walked towards the village. I heard that Brother Tie's game still has many tasks. The previous one of helping the blacksmith find herbs is an example. So he planned to find two tasks to do as well to feel the customs of this game.

Favor.

But first, he needs to get a mission.

Duan Qing still did a lot of public relations work during this period, commonly known as "boosting his favorability." He chose a lot of private houses to send hares, wild wolves, herbs and other trophies. Even the original blacksmith also patronized his "

"Business", but there is still nothing similar to the task.

After some simple guessing, Duan Qing felt that it still had something to do with his own strength - it was simply a lack of attributes. A weakling would not be able to be favored by NPCs. Now that he has become 7 powerful,

Even he himself felt a little reborn, so he planned to go to those private houses to try again.

I am no longer the person I used to be - Duan Qing yelled in his heart, and then opened a door of a private house.

"Oh, brother Mo Shang Qingshan, thank you very much for sending so many prey again! What do you want this time? I have a lot of dried wild meat here..."

"Thank you, Brother Mo Shang Qingshan. The pelts of these wild wolves are very precious, and our family has nothing to repay. I just woven these coarse cloths today. You can use them to make clothes..."

"

"You are...Moshang Qingshan. What do you want?"

The ruthless facts broke Duan Qing's fantasy. After visiting various houses such as the Orion family, the weaver's family, and the blacksmith's family, and once again experienced the simple folk customs of this remote village, Duan Qing was still helpless. He felt that he had nothing to do with him.

The favorability of these villagers is already very high, so why haven't they received any tasks? Well, the relationship with the blacksmith may be a little different...

Is there any charm value in this game? Duan Qing immediately lost all confidence when he thought of the possibility of having to fight for his face, because his past game experience told him that he might have African ancestry, and he would need to use luck and face every time.

When he talks, nothing good ends for him...

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Duan Qing felt a little uneasy, so he immediately contacted Hearts of Iron. But it was offline, because this game was so real that there was no secret chat.

"Mission? Of course there is, but how do I know what it is specifically related to..."

In the free world, game players cannot see the secret messages of friends who are not in the game state. It was only when Ambition of Iron was free that he saw Duan Qing's message. Since he also used messages as a reply, Duan Qing also saw these words.

It’s something that will happen after the update.

"Here are some tips for you: The free world advertises itself as real, but in the real world, no idle person will give you any tasks...so."

"So-called tasks can be regarded as events that you will encounter by chance."

"Of course, these words are not mine, but those of a friend of mine... Let me give you an example: You also know about the time when I was looking for herbs for the blacksmith. That was when I happened to go to their house.

, he saw his wife who was ill in bed, so he asked her to find herbal medicine."

"So, if you want to take on a mission like this, you first need a reason to be assigned. There is no need. Everyone is fine, so why should you be given a mission?"

"It's not that you are looking for tasks to do, but that you hope that tasks will find you. That's my understanding."

Duan Qing has not seen Brother Tie's judgments about the "setting" of the mission. He left those questions and entered the game again. He planned to wander around, hoping that some kind of metaphysics could help him.

He went to the tavern and the hotel, saw a lot of local customs and customs, and heard a lot of local anecdotes. Among them, the only thing that can be mentioned is that he found the village chief.

After playing a game and arriving at Novice Village, I could tell with my feet that the village chief was the most important NPC in the village, or the most promising place to obtain information. However, the lanes in this village were like a maze, and Duan Qing had been obsessed with it these days.

When researching skills, I didn’t deliberately pay attention to these specific places, so I never encountered them.

Players in the village who have played for a certain amount of time will basically know where the village chief's home is, not because of how many benefits the village chief can give players, but because many people have been there - they want to try their luck and get benefits.

There are still a lot of people.

When Duan Qing found the village chief's house, there were still two or three new players who had found the place just like Duan Qing. They were enthusiastically pestering a gray old man who seemed to be the village chief, trying to get some kind of mission out of them. Duan Qing frowned.

He frowned and did not rush to join in the fun. He slowly stepped aside, planning to wait for them to leave before trying again.

From the outside, the village chief's house looks no different from other cottages. The only difference may be that it is slightly taller. The slightly pointed house seems to stand out among the row of ordinary bungalows.

The houses on both sides look shorter than the village chief's house. On the left is an ordinary house. There seems to be people living inside, but the door is not open. On the right, the door is open, as if welcoming guests, but Duan Qing walks closer.
To be continued...
