Chapter 33 Irish Town (15) (Update 1) and Watson...
Watson has been observing Ye Mo.
Both are survivors, but the gap between them is really huge.
Every time he faces the monster, Ye Mo's performance is always more flexible and outstanding than the last time. His long-range and close-range attacks are making great progress. Are his dual abilities of strength and speed so powerful? The
first-level water ability is really fragile and useless in the early stage, not as good as the first-level speed ability he awakened in the reserve copy.
Ye Mo also spent a little more time on Watson, and found a little surprise.
Lack of experience, low-level weapons, and low combat ability.
Watson is a little weak, but at the critical moment, he can dodge the critical strike of the monster's dying struggle, and kill the monster cleanly and neatly, knowing the fatal position of the monster very well.
In addition to water magic, Watson's agility attribute is definitely different from hers. This difference means that his speed is far inferior to hers at ordinary times, but in critical moments, he can burst into high speed for a short time.
There is even a bit of the legendary lightness of "not getting a single leaf on the body", literally.
Speed-related superpowers?
With a flash of his eyes, Ye Mo quickly deduced that "speed-related superpowers will not improve the basic attribute of agility, but will help you control agility", just like her mental superpowers.
This Watson has awakened dual-system superpowers?
Ye Mo & Watson:
...Talent is indeed incomparable!
They may feel emotional, but if they were asked to exchange abilities with each other right now, they would definitely not be willing to do so.
...
At night, the mercenary group stayed in a cave.
The location of this cave is very hidden, and the semi-enclosed space is not small. It was found by Captain Hook and his team after they tracked and hunted down a group of second-level long-eared red rabbits. They need to guard the two entrances.
Survival in the wild is not as good as imagined. The cave has been cleaned many times, but the moldy smell in the cold and humid air can still be smelled, and a lot of insect repellent powder has been consumed.
Deputy Captain Thompson repeatedly emphasized that the toxicity of insects is not weak, and people will be infected without knowing it. If there is high fever, difficulty breathing, hallucinations, and limb paralysis, it must be said and drink the detoxification potion.
At dinner time, Alice was still the most active one in the team, busying around.
Unexpectedly, Watson was quite talkative at this time.
When he learned that Alice wanted to participate in the apprentice assessment of the Magic Association, he told her two or three useful pieces of information about the assessment, which he said he got from the members of the Magicians Association.
"Thank you."
As a brother, Captain Hook patted Alice on the head and expressed his sincere gratitude.
Watson smiled sincerely: "It's nothing. I encountered many very lucky things in the Irish town. I hope there will be more magicians in the town and it can be safe forever."
Speaking of this, he talked about his own "lucky" experience again.
11 days ago, Watson was just an ordinary clerk in a small potion shop in an Irish town. He was still hesitating whether to quit his job and sign up to be a swordsman hired mercenary.
Hearing this, the mercenaries laughed.
Perhaps because of his exposure to pharmacy-related professions since childhood, one day, Watson suddenly came up with one or two innovative ideas.
He happened to be favored by a familiar patron and was hired by him to become the first non-magic apprentice to work for a magician in history.
Like the protagonist of a cool drama.
This magical experience is absolutely impossible to brag about. You can verify the truth by going to the town and asking.
The mercenaries exclaimed: "Wow! This is not easy! I have never heard of it before."
Ye Mo probably knew who he was telling this story to. The purpose was too obvious. Only other survivors knew that this kind of luck was definitely created by humans and was very difficult.
Watson smiled shyly and continued to talk about his life experience: "A few days ago, I was satisfied with the great wizard Chris Paul at work. He gave me a bottle of very precious brain-enhancing potion."
"It may make people smarter." Alice accurately described the performance of the potion.
The probability of the intelligence potion making people smarter is very low. Drinking too much may make people mentally retarded. Not many people in the town would buy it. Chris Paul, the potion master, might have just given it to them casually.
"Yes." Watson smiled and nodded, "It was this magical potion that awakened my talent for water magic."
"Because of my good learning ability and knowledge of medicine, I was accepted as a magic apprentice by Chris Paul, who taught me magic and potions. He is the magician I respect the most."
"What a lucky guy!" Jack couldn't help but sigh, "Watson, you must be very good to be accepted as an apprentice by a potion master."
"Thank you for the compliment. I just became a magician and I'm not very proficient in shooting water arrows. I really need a lot of practice."
Watson's words attracted the encouragement of the mercenary group, and he described the same tragic life experience template as Ye Mo, which gradually diverted the topic to other places. At this time, he had gradually said less.
SmileJPG.
...
Ye Mo waited quietly for a while, and as expected, Watson, the survivor who came to chat with her, appeared.
She asked directly: "What is your purpose?"
"A deal." Watson took the lead in expressing his sincerity: "The intelligence potion has a chance to break through the critical value of the physical attribute. The higher the level of the potion, the higher the chance of breaking through."
Ye Mo raised her eyes and signaled him to continue.
Watson did as she wished, and added: "My second water ability came from taking drugs. In addition to the intelligence potion, I also have a list of other potions to prevent you from wasting a lot of gold coins."
Ye Mo guessed that his real-life occupation was most likely related to medicine: "So?"
"Goblins are natural craftsmen and can make weapons. I really need weapons now, and you need information. The intelligence potion is a bonus. One custom weapon and two potion information."
"Customized weapons are not that easy to make, and the number of weapons required is not high." Ye Mo pointed out the loophole.
Watson refined the conditions and added bargaining chips: "A mid-level sword with electric properties, a pig-killing knife, a machete, or a Japanese samurai sword will do, in exchange for three new potion names."
"Three?" Ye Mo was surprised at his straightforward concession.
"No matter how useful the information is, you have to be alive to enjoy it." Watson smiled helplessly, "50 people, 25 of them are alive now, how many of them are willing to talk to the end of the food chain? How many of them are willing to trade with me?"
At least Ye Mo is in the top three in terms of strength. She seems to be a reliable person in the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps and has exactly what he needs. It is not easy to encounter such an opportunity.
Ye Mo:
"Deduct the hemostatic potion, deal!"
Watson exclaimed: "You——" know the effect of the potion.
Ye Mo chuckled and pointed out: "You are at least 99% sure that I know this."
"Haha, happy cooperation."
When talking about cooperation with smart people, you don't have to waste too much saliva, but there is also the risk of being seen through by the other party at a glance. It is better to play a straight ball than to talk about the right time, the right place, and the right people.
The two did not avoid talking to the Wild Wolf Mercenaries, but some of the words sounded forced by the system, so they did not understand very well. All they knew was that they reached a deal for potions and weapons.
Captain Hook was very happy: "We, the Wild Wolf Mercenaries, are so lucky to have friends who are potion masters and craftsmen!"
...
Starting from the second day, they ambushed and killed monsters.
With the two conversations last night, Watson's position in the group no longer seemed so marginal.
His water magic and swordsmanship were slowly improving, and in the eyes of the Wild Wolf Mercenaries, this kind of progress was normal. Ye Mo was a 'magical goblin warrior'.
In the evening, after Ye Mo killed a lone magic sheep, he heard the voice of the system.
[Complete side quest 1: Hunting tier 2 monsters (10/10), physical attribute +1, free point attribute +1].
[Detected that the survivor Ye Mo's speed attribute value reached 30 in the "Irish Town Dungeon", and the ability unlocking failed. ]
"..."
Speed-related ability failed to break through again. I don't believe that it won't break through after reaching 60, 120, and 240!
After dinner, Ye Mo returned to the single tent and put away the sword on his body and no longer held it in his hand.
"Check personal status."
—————————
Account: Ye Mo
Intelligence: Hidden (Don't you know what your IQ is?)
Spirit: 46
Strength: 34
Agility: 30 (+1)
Constitution: 27
1 free point attribute.
Superpower: 2nd level mental system [ABCDE, you are still an F].
Skills: Primary Manipulation [Can manipulate some inanimate objects, but a floating fire axe].
Equipment: A broken fire axe, a pair of broken shoes with nails (agility +1), an ordinary backpack, a cute little yellow duck.
Others: Omitted.
—————————
The constitution is still 3 points away from 30.
This time, the completion of the side quest in the town copy is no longer an overall average increase in attributes. Only 1 constitution attribute point and 1 free point attribute are obtained, which may be related to the magic town copy.
In any case, Ye Mo deeply felt the importance of the previous reserve copy to the newcomers.
If you don't work hard at that time and just care about surviving, it will be very, very difficult to shorten the gap later. The most terrible thing is that while you are trying to shorten the gap, others are also making progress, and the gap will become larger and larger.
In addition, she has a new discovery.
Anything in the copy that is not produced by the system cannot be displayed in the equipment bar.
But for the products produced by the system, as long as you enter the copy, the backpack, fire axe, etc. that are not with you will also be displayed in the equipment bar.
Ye Mo silently chanted the little yellow duck in his heart, but the little yellow duck in the underground world did not appear in the tent.
[Detected the call of the survivor Ye Mo, do you want to delete a cute little yellow duck? 】
"No."
The experiment failed. The equipment bar is not a game system space package. It is impossible to find a game bug in this way.
After reflecting on the new day's combat experience, Ye Mo took out the "Basic Principles of Alchemy" that he bought at a high price, turned to page 18 where he saw it last time, and immersed himself in learning.
