Chapter 223 Scholar
According to the records on the stone tablet, Dorothy began her own promotion ceremony. Fortunately, this room was a special place for promotion of the Star Number Book Society. The magic circle in the room was specially made and could provide ritual support for all extraordinary people who were on the way to "initiation", from apprentices to the Black Earth level.
After being idle for thousands of years, the magic circle in the room finally started to work again. As Dorothy chanted, the spiritual symbols on the magic circle glowed one after another. The first was the largest "Start" in the center, followed by the other five smaller spiritual symbols around "Start".
As the chanting ended, a prompt to apply for guidance appeared in the system of Dorothy's brain. Just like a few months ago, Dorothy agreed to guide herself.
Then, the spiritual symbols in the magic circle suddenly glowed brightly, and Dorothy felt as if an invisible wind was blowing through her consciousness. For a moment, she was in chaos, and she felt that her thoughts were expanding without limit, which made it difficult for her to locate herself. After a while, the expanding thoughts began to shrink, and her sense of self slowly came back.
When Dorothy regained consciousness, she thought her advancement ritual was complete and was about to get up, but she found that the magic circle around her was still glowing, which meant that the ritual was not over and she had not felt any increase in her abilities.
"What's going on? I've already performed the ritual according to the instructions on the stone tablet. The conditions for promotion are also met, so why is the ritual stuck here? Is there a problem somewhere? Or is there something wrong with what is written on the stone tablet?"
Dorothy thought so in her heart, and just when she felt confused, a piece of information emerged in her mind.
"Choose the level you need to simulate."
"Need to simulate a certain level?" Seeing this information, Dorothy was surprised and confused, but as more detailed information from the ceremony itself appeared, she knew clearly what was going on.
Originally, if it was any other high-level profession, the advancement should have been completed now, but the scholar was different. Now there was another step in the advancement of the scholar, and that was to choose simulation.
When advancing, a scholar can choose to "start" another branch on the path to simulate and gain some of its key abilities.
That is to say, now Dorothy can choose one of the four paths, "Puppeteer", "Thunder Master", "Fortune Teller" and "Dream Interpreter", and obtain some of its abilities. Then, she can choose another one when she advances next time. Every time the scholar advances, he can choose to "start" a path on the path to simulate. The simulated abilities will be weaker than the original and there will be omissions. Not all abilities can be simulated, and the simulation of abilities requires preparation in advance.
'Oh, this means that I can choose a new job again, and every time I advance, I can choose a new job skill. After that, I can master most of the skills on the path of "initiation". Isn't this really worthy of being a scholar? He knows a little bit about everything. He is so knowledgeable.'
Dorothy thought so in her heart after reading the introduction of the Master's abilities, and then she began to seriously consider which path she should choose for the first simulation.
"I feel like there are a lot of options. The Puppet Master can strengthen my current combat method, the Thunder Master can improve my own frontal combat ability, the Fortune Teller can further strengthen my intelligence ability, and I'm not sure what the Dream Interpreter can do for the time being..."
Dorothy pondered over the several branches. She had to make a choice carefully. After all, once she made her choice, she would only be able to use the abilities on this branch until she reached the next level.
Finally, after a period of thinking, Dorothy made a choice. She decided to choose her first simulation branch to approach the "Puppeteer" of the "Cup".
The reason is that Dorothy is already very accustomed to the zombies' fighting style, and can do it quite well compared to the puppeteer. In addition, after the advanced ritual is completed, each spirituality will be deducted by 5 points, and most of her spirituality will be reduced to a lower level. She currently has a good reserve of "cup" and "stone", and there will be more left after deducting 5 points. In addition, she currently has a lot of zombies in reserve, as well as tactics developed with zombies as the center, so she has the resource base of a puppeteer.
"Oh, then let me take a few more steps on the road of puppeteer..."
Muttering, Dorothy began to continue the ritual. After she chose Puppeteer as the first simulation branch, the other four of the five other small spiritual symbols on the magic circle dimmed one after another, and only the largest "Qi" and the slightly smaller "Cup" were still lit.
After the ceremony, all the spiritual symbols dimmed for a moment, and Dorothy slowly stood up after completing the ceremony. At this time, she felt that her consciousness was unprecedentedly broad, her thoughts were jumping rapidly, and there was even a trace of uncontrollable mania in her mind.
After pausing for a long time, Dorothy slowly restored her spirit to its normal state. Then she looked at her hands and murmured.
"So... I am now a scholar? I first studied the 'cup'-level scholar, a Beyonder of the Black Earth Class..."
Dorothy murmured, then she took off the corpse puppet ring on her hand and looked at the corpses on the ground in front of her. These were the "contestants" of the "First Dorothy Cup Chess Competition" just now.
Looking at the "contestants" on the ground, Dorothy waved her hand and pulled up four of them at once without wearing the zombie rings, letting them chat and celebrate with each other, and at the same time congratulating Edrick on his victory.
Now, corpse manipulation has become Dorothy's inherent ability. She can do it without the Corpse Ring, and the upper limit of manipulation is four. Unlike the Corpse Ring, which only has two, it requires additional spiritual overload to increase the upper limit. Dorothy now does not need to consume additional spiritual power to manipulate less than four corpses.
In addition, the control distance of Dorothy's puppets has also been greatly improved. Within a radius of 5 kilometers, she can control four puppets at will. After exceeding 5 kilometers, she can reduce the amount of puppets controlled to extend the control distance. The fewer puppets controlled, the longer the distance. When controlling a single puppet, she can extend the control distance to 10 kilometers.
On the basis of maintaining the upper limit of four corpses and the upper limit of 5 kilometers in radius, Dorothy's spiritual consumption will be relatively light.
Of course, in addition to increasing the upper limit of the number of controls and the control distance, the puppeteer also has some other abilities. These are just basic improvements, but there is no chance to experiment now.
After examining the Puppet Master's abilities, Dorothy also discovered a major problem, which was the flaw in the scholar's path, that is, spirituality.
After being promoted to Scholar, Dorothy now has 10 points of inherent "Inspiration" spirituality, that is, 10 points of "Inspiration" blue bar, and the spirituality recovery speed has increased by 4 points a day.
But the problem is that Dorothy does not have any auxiliary spirituality. Although she simulates the abilities of the puppeteer, she is not the original puppeteer.
Generally speaking, in addition to the spiritual blue bar, the black-level extraordinary will also have an auxiliary spiritual blue bar. That is to say, in addition to the "start" bar, the original puppeteer will also have an extra "cup" blue bar, so that the "cup" can also be automatically restored.
Although the blue bar of auxiliary spirituality will not be as much as that of primary spirituality, it can still greatly alleviate the spiritual needs of black-level extraordinary people. Since primary and secondary spirituality can be automatically restored, the combat effectiveness can be guaranteed at ordinary times.
However, Dorothy is different. Dorothy is essentially a scholar, and the ability of a puppeteer is simulated. As a pure "starting" path, the scholar still only has an "starting" blue bar after reaching the black level.
"Shit, this means that I simulated the abilities of the puppeteer, but I don't have the blue bar support that the puppeteer should have? Is this spiritual enough?"
