After putting away the divine props, Lin Xun was full of energy and wanted to go and PK the giant monster in the fog immediately.
However, even the monsters that were seriously injured almost made him lose control. If it weren't for the strength of the Valkyrie, he would have seen the bright red words on the vegetable.
From this we know that he probably won't be able to defeat a giant monster that is in good condition.
Now you should improve your strength as soon as possible to the point where you can kill giant monsters, so as to obtain precious divine items.
There is also the ‘Multi-viewing School Association’ that has not been explored in the driving map.
Lin Xun switched back to the body of classmate Li'er and wandered around in the fog in order to find the option of suicide after getting lost.
[There is white fog in front of you, you can’t see anything clearly, and you can’t tell the direction...]
After waiting for a long time, the text is displayed.
【……】
[If you walk blindly, you will soon lose your way in the 'obstacle of knowledge'.]
【……】
【You stumble and stumble, but you can never get out of the fog.】
【……】
【You stumble and stumble, but you can never get out of the fog.】
Next, the option to commit suicide should appear.
【……】
[Knowing that you can no longer explore, do you want to commit suicide to return to the starting point of your journey?]
Lin Xungang was about to press 'Yes' and prepare to return to the city for free.
Game text suddenly continues to display.
[The outline of a building appears in the fog in front of you. Through the thick white fog, you can only see the lower three floors of the building. Based on its outline that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, you judge that this seems to be a tall tower. 】 【Do you want to go explore?】
Lin Xun raised his eyebrows.
I wanted to go back to the city for free, but I didn’t expect to wander around for a while and bumped into... the Hidden Snow Area?
How could you miss such a good thing? Just when you were about to change into the body of an earth giant, you went to explore.
Suddenly it occurred to me that my knowledge has almost exceeded the upper limit.
The current amount of knowledge is 800/1100
If you are overloaded with knowledge in the Astrology Tower and die from a head explosion, how will you come to this hidden snow area next time?
He quickly switched into the body of a dancer and put on the special equipment 'eye mask that isolates true knowledge'.
The dancer's body has no skills to increase the amount of knowledge, and if it wears an eye patch that can reduce the amount of knowledge gained, it will not die in the astrological tower.
[You strode forward, the 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie' followed closely beside you, straddling the long bow diagonally with one hand, holding the arrow tail in the other hand and placing the arrow on the bow string, ready to draw the bow and shoot at any time. 】 [You slowly push open the fine copper door of the tower, and the hall on the first floor of the tower comes into view...]
[You have entered ‘Xia Mara’s Astrology Tower’]
[The light of kerosene lamps illuminates the hall. There are many desks and small planetariums in the hall.]
[At the end of the hall is a fine copper elevator that can lead to the upper level of the tower.]
[A rickety figure wearing a white robe and a big pointed hat squats in front of the elevator. The man in the white robe lowers his head in thought. You can't see his expression clearly...]
[Do you want to exit the tower, or go forward and talk to the man in white robe?]
There is also a conversation option, so this is an NPC.
Lin Xun's eyes lit up and he clicked to chat.
NPCs in the wild can either be traded or have tasks.
[You stride forward and try to talk to the man in white robes...]
[The figure in white robes suddenly raised his head, and on his pale face was a giant black eye that occupied half of his face!]
[The first time you saw the form of the 'Tower Astrologer Seeking Knowledge', the huge one eye made your hair stand on end. You just felt dizzy, and a stream of disordered knowledge was poured into your soul.]
[You have acquired knowledge, and your knowledge amount increases by 30! Current knowledge amount: 830/1100]
[A ferocious light flashed in its huge black eyes. It raised the short staff in its hand and muttered something in its mouth. The shining starlight gathered at the tip of the staff...]
This thing is not an NPC, but a monster!
"Damn! Are you playing a sneak attack in the underworld game?"
You must know that the earth giant's epic new eyeballs have the effect of increasing knowledge five times, while the 'eyepatch that isolates true knowledge' can reduce the amount of knowledge seen by half.
Fortunately, Lin Xun used a dancer's body without knowledge amplification skills.
Otherwise, the first glance at the monster might overload him with knowledge and kill him.
[With a bang, a sharp arrow shot out, piercing into the giant eye of the man in white robes, and thick transparent liquid splashed everywhere...]
[The ‘Tower Astrologer Seeking Knowledge’ let out a shrill howl and then fell to the ground...]
[Your Watcher has defeated the ‘Tower Astrologer Seeking Knowledge’, and your experience points have increased slightly!]
Without saying a word, the Valkyrie drew her bow and shot an arrow, killing the monster heroically.
She doesn't give the dancers any chance to perform.
Anyway, the experience points are still given to Lin Xun, it doesn’t matter if you grab the heads or not.
[You have obtained a ‘strong-willed small piece of spirituality’*1]
[You have obtained a ‘book containing some knowledge’*1]
After receiving three thousand spiritual spirits, there are already four books in the inventory.
[You look at the body of the monster in front of you...]
['Tower Astrologer Seeking Knowledge', a stooped old astrologer, is keen to look up at the stars and search for knowledge that people have never obtained. In order to better observe the stars, a single huge eye was transplanted and transformed. It died.
Laser power that penetrates the skull. Correspondence 108% (45%)]
【Do you want to possess this body?】
Lin Xun threw away the body of classmate Li'er and clicked Yes.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Tower Astrologer who seeks knowledge’!]
Open the body panel and take a look.
[Body—Tower Astrologer Seeking Knowledge]
[Real name: Unknown]
[Phaseality: 108% (45%) compatibility breaks through the critical point, and the quality of the body is improved!]
[Body quality: Excellent grade]
【Body level: 36(6↑)】
[Body equipment: pure white astrological robe (broken level), white standard robe, with countless twinkling stars carved on the robe, which has no other use except for beauty.]
[Hull equipment: Stargazing Staff (Excellent Level), a short wooden staff as short as the forearm. The top of the staff is inlaid with a shining crystal. It is a weapon that can be used for chanting and casting spells.]
[Shell Skill: Starlight Concentration (Exquisite Level), while the warlock looks up to the stars to gain knowledge, he also gains a very small part of the power of the stars. Using this skill can release a beam of light containing the power of the stars, which requires a short time to cast.]<
/p>
This body has the same quality as the body of the Discipline Knight, but for Lin Xun now, it is a bit unappealing.
If the Discipline Knight didn't have a real name and could be embodied in reality, Lin Xun might have thrown the Discipline Knight away after getting the Earth Giant.
If the compatibility of an ordinary apostle is sufficient, the astrologer body can be considered a very good body, the kind that can be upgraded without thinking by stacking resources.
However, for people like Lin Xun who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, there is only one word for evaluation: garbage.
If you change it to two words, it would be rubbish.
In other words, the short staff weapon of the body is worth three to five thousand souls.
After taking off the astrologer's equipment, Lin Xun returned to the dancer's body.
To be on the safe side, he turned on the invisibility skill. Although the invisibility skill would probably not be effective against monsters with mutated eyes, it was still a comfort to his heart.
After searching the hall, I obtained a ‘book containing some knowledge’.
Seeing that the first floor of the hall had been ransacked, Lin Xun came to the end of the hall.
[At the end of the hall is a fine copper elevator. You can take the elevator to the upper floors of the Astrology Tower.]
[You step into the elevator, and the ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ follows closely behind.]
[There is a pull rod mechanism on the side of the car. After pulling it, the elevator will start.]
【Do you want to pull the lever device?】
[You pull the lever device, and with the sound of gears biting and hinges turning, the elevator slowly rises...]
[The elevator gradually rises to the floor masonry on the first and second floors of the tower. The open elevator allows you to see clearly without any obstruction. The masonry on the next floor is as thick as half a body...]
[The elevator reaches the second floor of the tower and stops slowly...]
[In the hall, like the first floor, there are many desks and small planetariums.]
【Do you want to leave the elevator, or pull the lever device to continue going up?】
Lin Xun chose the former.
The astrology tower must be explored layer by layer to avoid missing anything.
[You leave the elevator and step forward...]
[You notice that in the aisle between the desks, there is a beautiful woman wearing leather armor, leaning against the desk and taking a nap with her eyes closed.]
【Do you want to kill it while it is sleeping?】
"Haha, underworld game, still doing this kind of trick..."
There is a monster pretending to be an NPC on the first floor of the Astrology Tower to sneak attack (kan) him.
The underworld game played the same trick on the second floor, making him mistakenly think it was a monster. After going up and hacking him to death, he realized it was an NPC and successfully missed the side mission.
Lin Xun decisively pressed 'No'.
[You are so upright that you disdain to do something worse than a beast while a woman is sleeping...]
[You release your invisibility, stride forward, wake up the leather-armored woman, and try to talk to her...]
[After walking in, you realize that the woman’s skin reveals the dark golden color of fine copper under the light of the kerosene lamp...]
[The 'Super Self-Destructive Maid Doll' suddenly opened its eyes. After seeing you, it was frightened. Its skin was filled with a dangerous and dazzling red color, and its beautiful body began to swell...]
"Damn! This is a human bomb!"
There is no doubt that the dancer is a crispy body, and if he is exploded by a special self-destructive doll, he will definitely die!
It was too late for Lin Xun to switch to the earth giant's body.
"Is this a case of being clever but being misled by cleverness?"
Being tricked by the underworld game again, he was careless and did not dodge.
This death will undoubtedly make it impossible for Lin Xun to enter the hidden snow area called 'Xia Mara's Astrology Tower'.
He found this area just by wandering around in the fog. Let alone searching again, even if he searched a hundred times, he might not be able to find this place.
[The body of the female doll begins to crack, and red explosion flames spurt out from it...]
The bright red word "vegetable" is right in front of you.
[A soft body embraces you from behind. She embraces you and turns her back to the incoming explosion fire. A pair of huge copper wings unfolds to encircle you and her...]
[The raging explosion fire cannot penetrate the protection of the fine copper wings. In a trance, you see through the goggles of the nano battle suit, a pair of dark golden eyes blinking mischievously at you...]
[The fire is extinguished, and the ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ retracts its fine copper wings and is still guarding you...]
"Huh..."
Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Valkyrie is very powerful.
He decided to manifest the Valkyrie after finishing the game and reward her well.
['Special self-explosion maid puppet' dies, your experience value will be greatly increased!]
[You have obtained a ‘strong-willed chunk of spirituality’*1]
[You have obtained ‘Special Fine Bronze Clockwork’ (Material)*3]
The refined copper parts are of no use to him at this time, but it is not bad to gain 5000 spirituality.
Search the second floor of the Astrology Tower and get two more 'books containing some knowledge'.
The second floor is done, now go to the third floor!
[You step into the elevator, and the ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ follows closely behind.]
[You pull the lever device, and with the sound of gears biting and hinges turning, the elevator slowly rises...]
[The elevator gradually rises to the floor masonry on the second and third floors of the tower. The open elevator allows you to see clearly without any obstruction. The masonry on the next floor is as thick as half a body...]
[The elevator reaches the third floor of the tower and slowly stops...]
[In the hall, like the second floor, there are many desks and small planetariums.]
[You leave the elevator and step forward...]
[You notice a figure in black robe standing in the aisle between the desks, with his back to you.]
【Do you want to kill it before it finds you?】
"Come again?!"
Lin Xun suddenly felt a little confused.
The monsters on the second floor are obviously much stronger than those on the first floor.
The third level is definitely stronger than the second level, and the Valkyrie may not be able to protect him every time.
How about a trial attack?
Lin Xun was worried that some NPC would be killed by him.
There are several bodies in the body column. Because of the bonus of ‘leadership’, except for the level 40 factory owner, the other bodies are all level 36.
If you encounter a delicate NPC, you will definitely be killed in one blow.
Are there any long-range attacks with lower damage?
Lin Xun opened the inventory and looked for available props.
‘Foul-smelling bezoar’ (waste product), only has a discard option, not a throw option.
‘Unknown Creature’s Eyeball’ (waste product), with discard options and installation options.
If the man in black robe is a "knowledge-seeking" monster, discarding the eyeballs should attract its attention.
Do whatever comes to mind and click discard.
[You abandoned the ‘eyeballs of unknown creatures’ (waste) on the ground.]
[The man in black robe in the hall is still standing straight with his back to you, not noticing your presence...]
【Do you want to kill it before it finds you?】
Are the lost eyeballs too rubbish to attract the attention of the man in black?
There are eighteen eyeballs of the 'Underground Compound Eye Demon' in the inventory. They haven't had time to transplant and install them, but they are extremely valuable and Lin Xun is reluctant to use them as bait.
He rummaged through the inventory again and found a suitable prop.
[Poisoned flying knives (throwing props): The poisonous flying knives have been quenched, and the blades shine with a blue color. People who are accustomed to licking blood from the blades should not use them.] (Chapter 6)
Throwing knives were originally created when fighting the Blood Sun mobs in the Blood Sun world. These throwing props have fixed damage.
‘Poisoned Flying Knife’ is the lowest level of throwing props, so it is just right for this place.
It can achieve the probing effect without killing the man in black robe.
[You took out a ‘poisoned flying knife’. Under the kerosene lamp, the blade flashed a blue color. You flicked your wrist, and the flying knife shot straight out...]
[The 'poison-quenched flying knife' hit the black-robed man in the buttocks. He cried out in pain and turned around suddenly...]
As soon as Lin Xun saw the word "him", he knew that the man in black robe was not a monster.
Monsters in the game all use "it"... In fact, many NPCs are also in a non-human state, and they also use "it".
But 'he' at least shows that this man in black robe is a normal person.
Unexpectedly, the following text would make Lin Xun's head full of black threads.
[The man in black robe covered his buttocks and turned around angrily. He wore a familiar unilateral glasses on his old face...
