The most difficult game in history has descended upon the world, and players can obtain a random talent as soon as they log in.
Jiang Hao starts with a Supreme-level talent: as long as it is ...
Skill books dropped by bosses that don't have skills?
And several books fell out.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Hao opened the skill book and began to check the skill information.
【charge】
Quickly approach a target and deal damage equal to 30% of your attack power, stunning them for 0.5 seconds.
The Warrior's First Skill Book; click to learn it.
Note: If the first skill has already been learned, it will overwrite the original first skill.
"Holy crap, is this assault rifle really that bad?"
The Skeleton Gnoll's charge deals 100% damage and stuns for 2 seconds. Both are charges, so why is this one so weak?
I doubt anyone would be willing to buy it even if it were put at an auction house.
After grumbling, Jiang Hao checked the second skill book again.
[Parry]
Raise your shield to block the enemy's next attack, dealing up to 30 damage.
The Warrior's First Skill Book; click to learn it.
Note: If the first skill has already been learned, it will overwrite the original first skill.
Although it's unclear how much damage a block can absorb, the 30-point cap is clearly inconsistent with the boss's bronze-level status.
It's absolutely the worst of the worst.
Jiang Hao clicked on the third skill book without any hope.
【defense】
Permanently increases own physical defense by 1%.
The Warrior's First Skill Book; click to learn it.
Note: If the first skill has already been learned, it will overwrite the original first skill.
It's still a skill with such a weak effect that it's almost suicidal. But if this general learns it, at least it will increase his defense by a little bit.
Jiang Hao also noticed that all three skill books were actually the warrior's first skill.
Jiang Hao had a bold guess.
Could it be that this general is physically disabled and unable to learn skills?
So how exactly did he become a general?
Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Hao clicked on the only piece of equipment dropped by the boss.
Baron's Ring
Quality: Bronze
ring
Health +500
Strength 50
Equipment effect: A symbol of nobility, granting a 10% discount on purchases within Jinling City.
Equipment requirements: None.
Ah, so he's a general with a baronial title.
Speaking of which, Jinling City should be a main city for players, right?
A baron general from Jinling City who can't learn skills?
Jiang Hao suddenly felt that the entire city of Jinling had become ridiculous.
This ring doesn't seem very useful now, but it should be highly sought after in Jinling City. Also, this piece of equipment can directly add 1000 health points, 100 more than the Bloodlust Ring he's currently wearing.
So he replaced the Bloodlust Ring with this ring that symbolized his status.
The Bloodlust Ring is also obtained from Bronze-level chests, but players need to reach level 5 to equip it. It will be available on the auction house soon.
Jiang Hao thought to himself with satisfaction, "I'm sure I can make a lot of money from this."
After checking the equipment, Jiang Hao used the Resurrection skill on the Baron General at his feet. Even though he was a useless general without any skills, he should at least have some basic attacks. Besides, Jiang Hao didn't have any Bronze-level summons yet.
Jiang Hao pointed his finger, and 2880 mana points were instantly wiped out, leaving him with none. Then, a gray light enveloped the entire Skeleton General. Two minutes later, a bronze-level skeleton summon finally stood before Jiang Hao.
The bones on the skeleton shone with an even brighter blue light, like porcelain crafted by a master ceramicist. Exquisite yet wild, it seemed to contain an explosive power. Jiang Hao quickly checked the summoned creature's attributes.
Skeleton General
Faction: Necromancer Summoned Items
Quality: Bronze-level Elite
Level: 10
life:
Physical attack: 3218
Physical defense: 455
Speed: 130
Skills: None
Although it lacks skills, these attribute values are explosive enough. High health and high armor provide Jiang Hao with a strong sense of security, even when he's standing still.
Everything was in order, and Jiang Hao led his army of summoned creatures forward through the cave. This time, the Skeleton General's room was directly connected to the mine behind it, which saved them a lot of trouble.
However, even Jiang Hao felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the densely packed elite skeleton monsters, numbering no less than two hundred, inside the mine.
After looking for a long time, Jiang Hao still couldn't figure out how an ordinary team would get through this level. The monsters were practically side by side; if you lured one monster, it would definitely alert the others, and then it would be a chain reaction, with all the monsters in the mine probably coming out in a swarm.
Jiang Hao also had another question: in normal mode, the soldiers and miners at least had human faces that could be clearly seen, so why did they all become skeletons in nightmare mode?
Furthermore, when entering the instance, the system stated that it was a 100% accurate recreation, meaning that everything he saw was a real event. So why weren't these skeletons lying scattered on the ground, but instead mining and hauling ore in an orderly fashion, working like living people?
Could there be a necromancer here as well?
Jiang Hao looked at his summoned creature with suspicion.
Without his instructions, his summoned creatures could not perform such intricate and complex tasks.
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. Jiang Hao stood in the room and gently waved his staff at an elite skeleton monster in the mine.
One monster takes 5 seconds; even with over 200 monsters, clearing the entire mine would only take a few tens of minutes.
Along the way, Jiang Hao eliminated several more waves of skeleton monsters. An hour later, Jiang Hao finally arrived at the platform again.
At this time, Jiang Hao also leveled up to level 9.
The platform still features the same three bosses: the level 12 [Corrupted Foreman], the level 11 [Corrupted Overseer], and the level 11 [Corrupted Necromancer]. Unsurprisingly, they are still in skeleton form.
Jiang Hao didn't use any more detection spells. No matter what skills the boss had, once pulled over, it wouldn't be able to use any. Regardless of whether it was a bronze-level boss or not, no matter how high its health or how thick its armor, it could always be killed.
Jiang Hao raised his staff and gently swung it down at the foreman.
Then comes the supervisor.
When it was Jiang Hao's turn to summon the necromancer, he suddenly remembered something. He didn't rush to wave his staff to pull the monster.
Instead, he ordered two skeletal deer to go forward and willingly go to their deaths.
Then he waved his staff again, pulling the last boss on the platform over.
The maximum number of summons is nine; he needs to make room for three new bronze-level summons. After all, ordinary summons are no longer useful to him.
Looking at the corpse of the level 12 bronze elite boss lying on the ground, Jiang Hao tapped his finger and used the Resurrection skill. Even his 3120 mana points were instantly wiped out, leaving him with only 10. A large ball of gray light enveloped the boss's corpse. Two minutes later, another bronze-level summon stood before Jiang Hao.
Following the same method, Jiang Hao resurrected two more level 11 bronze-level bosses. With this, Jiang Hao had three more bronze-level summons.
